The premise of Michael McKeever's world premiere play at Island City Stage is fairly straightforward: A middle-aged man, who recently lost his longtime partner, wakes up one morning next to the hunky 28-year-old he picked up after a night of grief-fueled drinking at the local gay bar.
Yes, it is possible to be addicted to sex. And, in many cases, this disease can be just as personally and professionally destructive as alcohol, drugs or even food. One young man's struggle is the subject of Michael Leeds' play, "The First Step – Diary of a Sex Addict," which opened last weekend at Island City Stage.
Anyone who has ever seen "The Sound of Music" knows that the musical Von Trapp family escaped the Nazis by sneaking away in the night and crossing the Alps to freedom. But have you ever wondered what happened to their friends and family left behind?
For six seasons, Island City Stage and Miami's City Theatre have offered audiences the opportunity to while away the muggy evenings of summer with "Shorts Gone Wild," a program of LGBT-themed short plays.
You can admit it. After either reading Gregory Maguire's book "Wicked" or seeing the big Broadway adaptation, you never watched "The Wizard of Oz" the same way. In Maguire's telling, the mean old Wicked Witch of the West was a misunderstood victim of her circumstances.
Playwright Influenced by Southern Upbringing, Oprah Winfrey
Here's a recipe for a tasty night of theater: Take seven talented local playwrights, mix them in with a quirky cast of six actors, season with some LGBT themes and allow five award-winning directors to perfectly cook the concoction.
Audiences at LGBT-centric theater company Island City Stage were treated to another world premiere last weekend, James L. Beller's "Son." Like many new works, the powerful drama shows promise—with a little more work and a whole lot of editing.
At first, the opening scene of Michael Perlman's "From White Plains" might seem inspired by the 1997 comedy "In & Out:" An Academy Award-winning actor (Matt Dillon) outs his gay high school drama teacher (Kevin Kline) in an internationally broadcast acceptance speech. The only problem is that the teacher didn't realize he was gay.
What could possibly go wrong on an innocent "first date?" In Lane Michael Stanley's silly comedy, "Lipstick," receiving its world premiere at Island City Stage, well, just about everything.
To say Sharon McKnight is unflappable is an understatement. On the afternoon I phoned her for this interview, she was cleaning up the mess from a shooting in her Hollywood apartment complex.
Set during the Red Scare of the 1950s, Topher Payne's play, "Perfect Arrangement," might sound like a sober history lesson from an era when being gay or lesbian could destroy the most successful career and shame entire families.
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Bisi Alimi has been assaulted and persecuted and fled into exile, all because he is gay. Now, he's speaking out about his travails to persuade British legislators to engage Nigerian policy makers about a law that makes even befriending a homosexual a crime punishable by 10 years in jail.
Does time really heal old wounds? That's the question Michael Perlman's play, "From White Plains" attempts to answer in a new production opening March 21 at Island City Stage in Wilton Manors.
Island City Stage, the LGBT-centric theater company based in Wilton Manors, recently announced its 2018-19 season at a luncheon for media and patrons at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 hotel.
Artistic director Andy Rogow and Island City Stage, the region's LGBT-centric theater company, aren't afraid to tackle tough material.
We did not want to escalate this into a major conflict as this seems to happen far too often in the gay community. However, we feel it is our duty to respond to the disparaging and completely false accusations made by Kim Ehly about her 10-minute play that we chose to drop from Shorts Gone Wild 2.
Audiences at Island City Stage are accustomed to seeing thought-provoking LGBTQ-themed comedies and dramas. On Jan. 11, the Wilton Manors-based theater company will present its first musical, Tim Acito's "Zanna Don't."
Island City Stage, the LGBT-focused company in residence at Fort Lauderdale's Empire Stage, was the big winner Monday, March 31 at the Carbonell Awards for regional excellence in professional theater.
I had nearly forgotten about the time, 20 years ago, when my boyfriend at the time and I engaged in our first "four-way" with another couple. But, as the drama unfolded in Steve Yockey's play, "Octopus," at Island City Stage last weekend, I was quickly reminded of the excitement and trepidation of that big event.

U.S. Supreme Court
Jackson v. Metropolitan Edison Co., 419 U.S. 345 (1974)
Jackson v. Metropolitan Edison Co.
No. 73-5845
Argued October 15, 1974
Decided December 23, 1974
Petitioner brought suit against respondent, a privately owned and operated utility corporation which holds a certificate of public convenience issued by the Pennsylvania Utility Commission, seeking damages and injunctive relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for termination of her electric service allegedly before she had been afforded notice, a hearing, and an opportunity to pay any amounts found due. Petitioner claimed that, under state law she was entitled to reasonably continuous electric service, and that respondent's termination for alleged nonpayment, permitted by a provision of its general tariff filed with the Commission, was state action depriving petitioner of her property without due process of law and giving rise to a cause of action under § 1983. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's dismissal of petitioner's complaint.
Held: Pennsylvania is not sufficiently connected with the challenged termination to make respondent's conduct attributable to the State for purposes of the Fourteenth Amendment, petitioner having shown no more than that respondent was a heavily regulated private utility with a partial monopoly and that it elected to terminate service in a manner that the Commission found permissible under state law. Cf. Moose Lodge No. 107 v. Irvis, 407 U. S. 163. Public Utilities Comm'n v. Pollak, 343 U. S. 451; Burton v. Wilmington Parking Authority, 365 U. S. 715, distinguished. Pp. 419 U. S. 349-359.

A very light sprinkle of snow this morning, but it is icy cold. The water in my cat's bowl was frozen solid. If you look carefully you can even see the first crow of the day in the background on a foraging expedition.
The next visitor was a magpie seeing what he could get before the crows arrived.
Yesterday was a typical lazy Tuesday. The weather was cold and there was a cloud blanket over everything, so I decided to stay at home. My lunchtime sleeps are getting longer unfortunately. I should really give myself a push and stop hugging the bed, but it is so warm and comfortable. I saw a guy arriving for us and was sure it was the plumber. However, he was dressed too business like for a plumber and it was our insurance guy who I though would be arriving on Thursday: a moment of golden oldie confusion. We decided that my wheelchair should be insured and it seems that there is a so-called electric insurance that covers all electric stuff, including computers. As we have a few computers, we decided to go for it. Electric wheelchairs are also expensive objects, and if anything happened to it, it would be an expensive replacement.
As the insurance guy was finishing the plumber arrived about our shower. He fittend the new hose in a couple of minutes and we had a look about having a seat built into the shower which seemed to be a good thing. Both Mr. Swiss and I are having balance problems and our legs are no longer as good as they were, so we decided to go for it. It will mean a day of hammering and boring to get it attached to the wall, but nothing out of normal and we are not getting younger. It will be a seat that claps down when you need it so will take no room in the limited space of the shower. At the same time he can fit a good metal soap holder and a grip on the wall for support when standing and sitting. We are not rolling in money, but at our age, prefer to spend it on such improvements to our life style.
Looks like my idea of a new camera and lens will have to wait a bit., but you have to get your priorites settled.
Today I am off to the store for to find some food. Yesterday was rice, tomorrow is spaghetti so it looks like today will be something with potato, but preferably fried and not boiled. In the evening cold cuts, although is getting too repetitive, but we have no alternative suggestions. I might fry an egg tomorrow with a slice of thick spam (Fleischkäse Swiss style). And that seems to be everything organised.
I noticed the store again now have primroses in the gardening department on my last visit, so it seems that Spring might be arriving eventually. My crocus are already poking through in my flower beds.
And with this bright promise of the warmer times to come, I wish you all a good day. Look after yourselves and if it is cold outside, you can always curl up with a computer.

The reputation held by Withnail and I far exceeds what might have reasonably been expected of it in 1987, and perhaps even what it could reasonably hold today. It's at once casual and surprisingly ambitious. Two out-of-work actors bum about in London in 1969, eventually winding up in the country cottage belonging to one of their uncles. Yet the film has so transcended the "cult" part of its status as a "cult classic" that the possibility of discovering it accidentally, in the manner its earliest champions would have, is beyond impossible.
Viewing it for the first time last week for purposes of this review, Withnail and I feels very representative of some larger cinematic trends of the 1980s – suspicion of authority; disgust of baby boomer ideals; a heavy reliance on "grungy" elements like drugs, repellent sexuality, cursing, poverty, and alcohol; and a certain arch comic sensibility in which every character outside of our protagonist is some sort of inhuman asshole. The cottage-owning, gay Uncle Monty in particular is treated quite poorly, relegated to nothing more than a predatory rapist. Robinson himself faced similar advances at this time in his life, but the autobiographical quality is not enough to overcome the myopic portrayal. Like so many independent films of the era, it wears its underground/outsider status with a pride that is at once endearing and a little off-putting, an eagerness to constantly demonstrate how much it isn't like what's at the multiplex, man.
I may be reading too much into it. I was born in 1986. In the same way that many born in the '60s and '70s hold the fashions of that era in a sort of contempt, I have a sort of uneasy relationship with the films of the 1980s. The blockbuster era that led the charge have a superficiality that's been oft-discussed, and the independent scene, conversely, often feels like a direct reaction against it, rather than a natural point of expression. By the same token, because I wasn't cognizant of the world around me, let alone attending the movies during that era, I don't know what it would be to receive a film like Withnail and I in such an environment. My point is not to denigrate those who love it as being trapped within their own experiences; merely saying that my own might be insufficient to understanding its greatness.
Richard E. Grant has been frequently praised for his performance as Withnail, and with good reason. As Ali Arikin perfectly notes in his appraisal of the film, "Withnail is concerned only about himself; a true narcissist, he wants the world's riches handed to him on a silver platter without making even a smidgen of an effort… Withnail is the true spirit of the sixties generation: stuck eternally in an immature bubble of false idealism and self-worship." Grant plays it to the hilt, unafraid to confront the character's hypocrisy, but also his central sadness. He's an actor denied a stage, so he takes every room as his performance space, if only for an audience of one, "I" (Paul McGann). But because we have that distance from him, we're somewhat safe, his near-insanity an outer threat from which we can safely distance ourselves, content to know we'll never succumb to his disease.
Much more potent, in nearly every way, is Robinson's follow-up film, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, which is available from Arrow Films as a package with Withnail. Unlike his earlier film, How to Get Ahead is tackling the very essence of the then-modern era – chiefly, the infectious disease that is advertising culture, and how the drive to "have it all" removes us from our humanity. In it, Grant plays a creative executive at an ad firm, tortured over his inability to devise a campaign for a pimple cream. Rather than lock himself up in his room with some booze and ruminate over the mess his life has become – Don Draper style – he allows a boil to grow into a second head that consumes him. Since we're stuck with this man as a protagonist, however, we have none of the safety that Withnail affords, no assurances that we aren't a little bit like this. How to Get Ahead in Advertising is an even more reactionary film than Withnail, but because its venom is directed at its present, the confection is far more potent, more biting, more thrilling.
Both films are now available in excellent Blu-ray editions from Arrow Films – Withnail can be bought on its own, How to Get Ahead only in the two-film package – and both look quite handsome in HD. Withnail comes from a new 2k restoration supervised by cinematographer Peter Hannan. The transfers don't try to make their grungy aesthetic look "better" than they do naturally, giving into the grain, the grime, and the limited color palette of the film stock. Detail, depth, and contrast are also very well represented. Damage is minimal, and I saw nothing in the way of compression artifacts. If these films are big for you, this is the way to own them.
This is especially true once we get into the supplements, which are extensive, and quite interesting, though nearly all relegated to Withnail. You want a commentary track? How about two commentary tracks? One features Robinson, the other critic Kevin Jackson, who wrote the BFI Modern Classic book on Withnail. Having the two provides that perfect balance between production detail (Robinson's stories about developing and making the film could be a film unto themselves) and critical analysis. Then, look to four documentaries produced as part of the BBC's "Withnail Weekend" in 1999, each covering a different aspect of the film and its legacy. There's naturally some overlap in information between these and the commentary tracks, but, well, that's just the way it goes. Lastly, we get an interview with production designer Michael Pickwoad (who also provides the only supplement on the How to Get Ahead disc) and a short appreciation of the film by British comedy writer Sam Bain.
The now-OOP limited edition included a 200-page hardcover book that could probably kill a man if wielded properly, but the booklet included in the more condensed two-pack, containing new writing by Vic Pratt and Frank Collins, an Empire interview with Bruce Robinson, Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann and Ralph Brown, has a lot to offer, too.
I may not be in the best position to appreciate Withnail and I, and perhaps I'll revisit it in a few years and find it a masterpiece. But, as it is a dearly beloved film for many, this is an easy disc to recommend, providing an excellent transfer and a wealth of supplements. I would especially recommend getting the two-pack that includes How to Get Ahead in Advertising, not only because I think it's just a flat-out better film, but it provides a fuller understanding of Robinson as a filmmaker, and another dynamic performance by Richard Grant. Besides, it's only an extra couple pounds.

A note on breeding flock composition in relation to economic criteria
Decisions on whether to cull or to retain for further production are of major importance in all classes of stock farming. Although there have been several studies relating flock composition to culling, reproduction and death rates, none of these have attempted to compare the profitability of various culling policies, their objective being only to show how flock composition and numbers of stock available for culling vary with variation in reproduction and death rates. Clearly, for given basic population parameters and a given framework of fixed farm resources, there should be a culling policy which is optimum for the particular farm. This note presents a linear programming model which can be used to determine the optimum culling policy for a Romney breeding flock.... [Show full abstract]

Can Pets Get Lice?
Can kitty get lice? We are often asked the question of whether pets can get lice. The answer is no. While lice are extremely hearty, they require certain conditions to survive and animals do not have those conditions. Mainly, lice are temperature-sensitive. The temperature of the human head is perfect for the survival of head lice. Animals including cats and dogs have temperatures that differ from human temperatures. If a louse climbs off the human head and onto a family pet, it is akin to the louse landing on an inanimate object; the louse will die within a day.
Pets Can Provide Temporary Transport For Lice
Dogs can't get lice, but can transport lice. There is one caveat to this statement: while lice can not live on animals, animals can be a vector. What this means is that like a sofa, theatre seat, rug, hair brush, or piece of clothing, a pet can provide a short-term landing spot for bugs that can survive there for about 24 hours. If someone picks up the family dog or cat and a live louse has just arrived there, that bug can then climb out and onto a person and up to his or her hair. Lice are not feeding from the blood of the animal; they are simply waiting there (for a short time) for the opportunity to find a real home--a human head where they can get their food supply.
Don't Worry About Fido Or Kitty
If your family has head lice, you do not have to worry about Fido or Kitty. Within a day, any lice on them will be dead. You only need to concern yourself with getting all of the bugs and nits out of the hair of humans in your family. Give LiceDoctors a call and an experienced lice professional will be at your home today to make sure that we clear up your case and get you back to your every day life--lice and nit free.

First off, Hey Fox has updated again. I had pretty much completely forgotten that I was coming up on a milestone, so i totally missed doing anything for my 200'th comic which, it turns out, was about 8 comics ago. :: lol :: Anyway, todays comic is a return to the "Fox and his pickup lines" joke. I have to admit, I really like these but I've come to wonder if some of these running gags or repeated jokes come across as just hackneyed. I mean, there are a lot of comics out there that tend to shy away from repeated gags because they just get old, have these? My returning bits essentially coming down to Fox and pickup lines, Fox's exploding head, and lusting after [insert female here]. Has this gotten old? Should I start looking for a new pool of jokes?
Perhaps in this very train of thought, I've been contemplating a Sunday strip. Specifically an "in game" series with some of the characters in a sort of DnD or other game-world setting. At first I'd thought about using it for a plot line, but I thought it might be interesting to do the in character bits in color and the real world stuff in the usual BnW. Because of this I thought it might work better as a weekly special. Opinions? Would this just be treading the same old, overdone, geek jokes and dice humor? Or do you think it would be interesting to see these guys role playing characters, and to retread some of the classic "Armor of Bling" jokes?

There are more and more temptation to make our lives complicated and bound us by some external factors. But it is always the simpler the better. Let's see the reasons why simple is always better.
· Simple is Clear
We are designed to be simple. But men are deceived into complicating their lives. People despise simple things. They only boast on complicated things which they are not created for.
This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes." Ecclesiastes 7:29
We are created to manage simple things. We are limited. We can only manage simple things. We are not good at managing complicated things. That is the reason the Bible warns us against a multitude of words.
In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. Proverbs 10:19
That is the very reason that the Bible equates simplicity with purity and complication with impurity.
All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. Matthew 5:37
· Simple is focused
Without focus, we can't succeed in life. To be focused we must have to have limited responsibilities. We have to put the priority in order to simplify our responsibility and tackle a problem at a time. We live in the world of limited resources. We don't have all the time and energy we want. We have to decide to give the due priority to the things that we can't live without. To utilize our resources effectively, we have to simplify responsibility and thereby our lives.
· Simple is independent.
When you make your life simple, you will minimize the ways you depend on others. You will be more in control of your life. Simplicity eliminates the things we just want but don't actually need them. We have to decisively cut the things that we can live without doing them. That makes us to be free to focus on the things we have to.
The want doesn't deserve our priority. The want can only be done at the expense of the need.
Actually, you can judge a person's real productivity by the way he simplifies things or complicates them.
Make your life simplified.

As part of our ongoing effort to uncover the firms that perform the best using various key metrics of skill in patent prosecution (allowance rate, speed to disposition, number of claims lost, etc.), we wanted to rank some of the most efficient law firms for patent prosecution. Now, there are several methods for measuring "efficiency" in patent prosecution, the most obvious being average speed to disposition and average number of office actions. We have previously ranked the speediest firms in several technology centers (here, here, and here), but we have not yet ranked firms using average number of office actions as an indicator of overall efficiency. Below are the top 10 firms that receive the fewest office actions. They are ranked by the average number of office actions they received between publication and disposition for all utility patent applications disposed between January 1, 2005 and March 31, 2016. In order to achieve the most accurate sample sizes, we limited the pool of eligible firms to those that had disposed of at least 5,000 applications during the relevant time frame.
Congratulations to the following firms on their remarkable efficiency in patent prosecution.
10. Novak Druce (1.70)*
9. Hauptman Ham (1.69)
8. Holtz, Holtz & Volek (1.54)
7. Rabin & Berdo (1.52)
6. Crowell & Moring (1.51)
5. Bacon & Thomas (1.49)
4. Fishman Stewart (1.46)
3. Muncy, Geissler, Olds & Lowe (1.35)

Power Management – Tiers of a Lone Balanced Power Profile
Many Windows 10 laptops and tablets have only a singular power profile, usually 'Balanced'. Creation of power plans by third-party software is restricted. This will prevent the installation of the Bitsum Highest Performance power profile and any features that automatically switch power profiles.
Workstations running newer Windows 10 builds also utilize this new dynamic Balanced power profile.
So how do you manage your power profile on these systems?
Well, instead of multiple power profiles, there are multiple tiers of the Balanced power profile. A new 'power mode' slider on the battery icon in the system tray provides access to the performance tiers of the Balanced power profile. On these systems, you should use that slider, as shown in the featured image of this post.

Joe Scarborough Is in His Prime With MSNBC's Morning Audience - NYTimes.com
Joe Scarborough Is in His Prime With MSNBC's Morning Audience - NYTimes.com: "When MSNBC awarded Don Imus's old morning-show slot to Joe Scarborough last summer, it did so with little enthusiasm and few expectations. Mr. Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida, had never quite seemed comfortable on his prime-time show, "Scarborough Country," nor did he seem to mesh ideologically with this cable news channel's more liberal-leaning stars, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.
Yet Mr. Imus's departure, following a racially and sexually insensitive exchange, was so abrupt as to leave the channel few immediate options beyond Mr. Scarborough."
I couldn't stand Joe before but I got hooked on his java.

In one universe, Milo Stone is a lazy, immature and irresponsible slacker. In another, he is Captain Valor, a whiter-than-white-bread superhero. When Valor's universe is destroyed after a calamitous battle with Valor's arch-nemesis, Caliginous, Valor finds himself on Milo's doorstop trying to adapt to a universe without any kind of superheroes at all.
Forced to live with each other, the two versions of Milo discover a warm, reciprocal loathing for each other; Valor is less-than-impressed with Milo's selfishness and complete failure to make anything of his life, whilst Milo resents Valor's smug self-righteousness and over-simplified view of the world and how it works. Romantic tensions also arise between the two; Valor has taken a shine to Milo's long-suffering girlfriend Stephie, whilst Caliginous -- an alternate version of Stephie, whose relationship with Captain Valor ended very, very badly -- has followed Valor into the real world, and has taken a shine to Milo...
Provides examples of:
- Black and White Morality: Captain Valor's view of the world is based largely on this. It's gradually subverted throughout the series, however.
- The Cape: Valor.
- Deconstruction: Of Valor's Black and White Morality and the concept of The Cape; Valor means well, but his actions outside of a comic book are in many ways just as destructive and irresponsible as the super-villains he battles. Furthermore, for all his fine talk and self-righteousness, he proves to have feet of clay and similar issues to Milo -- which is not entirely unexpected, seeing as they are essentially the same man.
- Grey and Grey Morality: All of the characters are ultimately flawed-but-decent people. Even the supervillain, strangely enough.
- Heroic BSOD: Valor experiences one of these. He ends up re-evaluating his entire outlook of life based on it.
- Holier Than Thou: Captain Valor. His self-righteous condemnation of Milo's various shortcomings, including his previous adultery on Stephie, are somewhat undermined by revelations about his conduct in the alternate universe; he once had an affair with a superheroine, the fallout of which was partially responsible for the alternate Stephie becoming Caliginous. He's also quite quick to move in on Stephie when she breaks up with Milo which, his assertion that he didn't intend for it to happen aside, is a little low of him.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Valor willing allows Caliginous to kill him, hoping that it will shock Caliginous into ending her universe-destructing rampage. It works.
- Odd Couple: Valor and Milo.
- Only Sane Woman: Stephie's probably the most down-to-earth character in the book.
- Other Me Annoys Me
- The Rashomon: One issue deals with the destruction of Valor's universe in flashback, from both Valor and Caliginous' perspectives; both, naturally, vary significantly, and we never really find out whose was closer to the truth. Given her conduct, we suspect that Caliginous' version, where she comes off as being whiter than white, isn't entirely accurate; however, Valor's Black and White Morality blinkering doesn't make him an entirely reliable witness.
- Smug Super: Valor, in some ways.
- Ten-Minute Retirement: After a particularly destructive battle and a bout of Heroic BSOD, Valor resolves to change his ways and quit being a superhero. Curiously, he sticks to it.
- There Are No Therapists: Subverted; the penultimate issue pretty much involves forcing Captain Valor and Caliginous to meet Milo's therapist and work through their respective issues together, with Milo and Stephie getting some pointers while they're at it. It almost works. Almost.
- The Woobie: All of the characters at some point, but surprisingly Caliginous might just be the biggest out of all of them.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Definitely Caliginous.

Qualities Of A Good Leader
As a coach, one of the things I love to do is identify patterns. And one pattern that I've identified is high performers want to know where they can grow, how they can get better and what's going to take them to the next level. This is what makes them great. They are always looking to grow and maximize that last 10%.
One of the key qualities of a good leader is looking at growth from a place of leveraging strengths, as opposed to, developing weaknesses.
At first, most high performers have an aversion to this idea; we have been conditioned for the most part to look at our weaknesses and develop that, to be a well-rounded individual. Unfortunately, that strategy produces a whole lot of average.
The Yerkes-Dodson law explains that doing work that aligns with strengths increases our mental arousal rate. In addition, eustress, or good stress, helps you raise your performance level. Yerkes-Dodson law finds that when we reach a certain point of stress or mental arousal work feels like it flows. We lose our sense of time. Our thinking is at its best and this optimal state of high performance is born out of our strengths.
When we focus on developing our areas of strength, the areas that we are naturally energized by, we start with a leg up. We are motivated and energized by the work, and that will take us from good to great, which is why it is a vital quality of a good leader.
A great example is Wayne Gretzky; if he focused his training time and energy on becoming a great defenceman, he would have diverted that precious energy away from becoming masterful at scoring goals. To really become masterful at something, you have to be able to identify where you have skill and then say no to other distractions.
However, If you have a weakness that is getting in the way of your success then, by all means, work on it.
For example, you may not be highly energized by the numbers side of your business, but if this is an area of weakness for you to the point that you have no idea what is going on with your financials, grow your skill in that area, because that will come back to bite you. The key to this mindset shift is you don't have to become your accountant. Hire someone to do that work for you so that you can lean into the areas you are stronger at and get energized from.
Each and everyone one of us has a character strengths profile; there is a great and free online assessment through the VIA Character strengths Institute that can help you discover your character strength profile.
Whether it's through the support of an assessment like this one, coaching, feedback, personal reflection whatever, you need to first get intimately connected to the areas in which you shine.
Once you have a sense for what your strengths are, look to create daily opportunities to work within your strengths zones, because, like muscles, the more you work them out, the stronger they get.
Own your greatness
Your strength combo is like no one else's. This is what makes you great. This is your brand of superhero. Name it and claim it. There is no room here for being shy.
Leveraging your strengths is one part of the Whole Life Leadership Blueprint. To download your free copy click the link below. This blueprint will be your guide to showing up as a powerful leader in every area of your life so that you can bring those big dreams of yours to life.

Looks like I'm gonna be way out in front at any seed-spitting contest…
My girlfriend wanted to get married, but I cantaloupe…
Honeydew quickly became honey don't…
Murder is usually involved when things get puny around here…
Looks like the time's ripe for forensics…
Speaking of Fiber…I got Fiber coming out my ears… literally…

M, Ur derisive attitude towards us true starlets has gone on long enough!
Martin turned to studio boss W. Caldwell. "See? This is what I'm talking about.
Talking. I can't have a conversation when all her responses are on title cards."
"I thought you two worked this out," W finished.
This vamp will not acquiesce to your silly Talkies!.
Martin sighed, frowning at his broken director's chair. "Get with the times, Ms. Bara. The silent era is over." He pointed. "You don't want to speak, quit the picture. But stop breaking my chairs!"
The fact that he's involved Theda Bara in his shenanigans ...perfect.
Here's the semi-final list.

Here's the list of stories I think deserve special notice
The day started with murder! Two bodies this time. Was I Shocked? Repulsed? No. I'm a "cleaner." My job is cleaning up messes like this—wiping up bloody evidence, leaving no trace, visible or otherwise. I am the best there is.
Until today.
A kidney.
Left behind.
Under the pea green armchair.
I had gone back to the scene to check one more time when I spotted the remaining body part.
I no sooner cleaned up this bit when people started arriving to dinner. And I spotted the murderer behind the chair with yet another mouse in his mouth.
When I first read this, I thought it was a cleaner like Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction.
Then the twist!
I love stories with twists!
Aphra Pell
The day started with murder. 24 points.
Mike plays croze straight onto a triple letter score. Smug git.
Grandma's in the background. "Your sister always loved Christmas"
Ha! At least 6 ft under, she's free from Boxing Day games.
"Qualms. Double word and 40 points for me." Vi, all marshmallow smiles and acrid eyes.
Qualms – what I lack.
Jester. That's how they see me. But it gives me murders as well. Puts me in control.
Mike plays jounce; showing off.
"Tripe word score – exit!" Yes Vi, and soon you'll meet yours.
Time for my favourite word, tontine.
Very very subtle.
Do you get it?
Dena Pawling
An extensive vocabulary is absolutely required. A man can't simply walk down the street. He must walk quickly or carefully or slowly or hesitantly. The street must be wide or narrow or busy or eerie or picturesque.this is a poke at my beloved Thesaurus and Dictionary.
Adjectives and adverbs are the guaranteed most important. They make tremendously exciting an otherwise dreadfully boring noun or verb.
Today's unfortunate clueless authors don't understand that.
I copiously drooled over my new behemoth doorstopper dictionary and extensive comprehensive thesaurus. I'm serious about my craft. Agents will be desperately fighting over my groundbreaking life-changing manuscript.
I lovingly opened the dictionary.
Today started with murder.
The only thing you missed Dena, is my beloved RandMcNally Road Atlas.
I use it to find places mentioned in the news.
I love the stories that are insider info!
Barbara Lund
The day started with murder, and went downhill from there.
Recalcitrant neighbors, uncooperative suspects, media circus.
Ninth murder and likely more to come.
Suspicious partner, side-eye sergeant, disavowing chief.
When they brought me in, accusations flew like crows, but I followed my own advice: deny, deny, deny, and if you can't do that, shut ya mouth.
Didn't help. I had no alibi and plenty of motive.
I tell ya, the only thing a cop hates more than going bad is being sent up for the one murder she didn't do.
Love that last line!
The day started with murder—an impromptu performance.Delightful story, even more delightful reveal at the end!
"I say!" she muttered. "Rather unfortunate affair."
The blood-spattered shovel scooped up another heap of soil and scattered it onto the leaking body below. Luckily her mother never minded her playing in the backyard before breakfast. The girl hadn't planned on bloodshed this early in the morning, but sometimes death demands action.
"The day started with murder," she mused. "Darling book title, that. Perhaps I shall write it someday." She was the creative type.
"Breakfast, dear!" Mrs. Miller called from the kitchen.
"Right there, mother!" young Agatha replied. "Just washing my hands."
The day started with murder. It was Jorge's idea. Last week, he renamed Monday "Murderday" on the office calendar because, you know, Mondays are murder. Maybe he thought no one would notice.This really isn't a story, as much as it is a description, but I love love love it.
But everyone did.
Some thought it was funny. Stupid Jorge and his stupid sense of humor. Others called it "highly unprofessional." We had to apologize to them because, you know, that's what we do. We apologize for Stupid Jorge and his stupid sense of humor. One person -- just one -- took it literally. There's always that one, isn't there? The one who didn't get the joke?
Katelyn Y
The day started with murders.I Bribed Death--great title for something!
The first victim was expecting me and died easily. Typical mob boss. Too calm when facing Death.
The second was frantic. Most people are, particularly the guilty ones. "Please. My family... I need more time –"
I ushered him into eternity anyway. Justice is elusive, but occasionally mine.
A stray bullet sent the third. Young, stubborn. A born negotiator. "Surely there's someone worse you'd rather meet," she said. "Give me the name and I'll arrange the meeting."
A word for the dying: they say you can't cheat Death, but I assure you I take bribes.
Megan V
The day started with murder wrapped in a bow. Well, wrapped in a manila folder. Even as coffee bubbled in a battered percolator, Dee thumbed through reports, photographs, and ruined lives.I love the ambiguity here.
All around her, the room hummed. The walls breathed. Whispers echoed. Footsteps clicked, clacked, and faded down the hall.
Had she missed something? Forgotten to write something—something important—down?
Not that she could see. It was all pretty straightforward, from the witness statements to the shitty surveillance. And yet, she stared at the eleven raised hands in disbelief.
"Well?" Someone said.
Dee swallowed. Then raised her own.
My take is Dee is the murderer, and is now serving on the jury.
Is that what all yall saw? Or what Megan V meant??
The day started with murder, Rufus chuckled as he looked down at the yellow goldfish gasping on the floor amongst the shards of glass. He watched its gills heave back and forth desperate for oxygen. It was his first time inside Mary Conroy's house and he hadn't seen the bookcase with the small globe of water perched on top in the dim light. All those months of watching her, studying her, and yet he never knew she had a pet. There was always so much more to learn, and he was finally here. Rufus sat on the couch, and waited.
This entry reminded me of one of the creepiest books I've ever read: A Pleasure and a Calling, by Phil Hogan. I loved it.
The day started with murder. Not mine of course, though given how my day's going it would've proved—convenient.I love things that are Murderously glittery.
"Jessa, for hells sake."
"Help me pick it up."
"It's still moving."
We stared down at the jittering wings. Fairies.
Slender. Horrible. Murderously glittery.
I nudged the shimmering scaled-body with my heel. Word to the wise. Don't trust anything that sparkles. And don't trust books.
Fairy godmothers my ass. Unless you liked getting dusted with flesh-eating green acid, Tinkerbell wasn't for you. Or apparently, as the fairy dissolved in a plume of rancid smoke, was just riding the Tube in peace.
Don't trust anything that sparkles is my new motto.
And I love the ideat that this all takes place on the uptown IRT.
As usual, I'm dithering about which entries to select
Let me know your thoughts on the matter here in the comment column.
This was a REALLY strong field. There were a lot of entries that were really good that didn't get a shout out.
I hope you all enjoyed my pain.
I agonized over this, but in the end I went with the one that was clever and made me laugh.
This week's winner is Casual-T.
T if you'll send me your preferred mailing address I'll send you your prize.
No, it's really a book.
Thanks to all of you who took the time to write and enter.
This was an amazing turn out, and amazing work from all y'all.
I like this prompt phrase stuff!
Next one: "What's this handbasket doing here?" sounds good to me! What do y'all think?
