Youth Leader's Survey
SIR,-One of the most astonishing facts about the Catholic community of the country in general and the London area in particular is that most people seem to be aware of the dreadful rate of "leakage" of young Catholics once they have left Catholic schools, and yet nothing constructive has been attempted to deal with the problem. Priests who know the facts say that between 75 and 90 per cent. of the young people passing through Catholic schools in the poorer parts of London lose their Faith. If the firres were half those given, it is difficult to imagine how any Catholic could be complacent, leaving alone those who could do something to reduce this appalling loss. Some of the youth organisations of the Church can and do attract a small number of lapsing boys and girls, but most of them have little chance with the majority of this type of youngster. In my opinion one of thebest Ways of reaching these young people is through youth clubs because clubs can offer the things which attract and should provide the link with the Church, which is nearly always missing. Only the clubs which can provide the best will be able to compete, and it is important that Catholic clubs should have trained leaders, part-time or full-time. the best in their programme of activities and the best facilities. Many parish
priests have had unfortunate experiences with badly run clubs but this should not blind them to the value of the better clubs.
In this country the average boy or girl who attends a Catholic secondary modern school leaves at 15 and starts work in completely nonCatholic surroundings, 11: his parents are indifferent Catholics there is little that will keep him to the Church. One of the biggest influences in the life of an adolescent develops in the place where he spends his free time and from the' people with whom he spends it. There is nothing which continues for young Catholics the good work done in the schools. To spend millions of pounds on schools and then watch the children leave first the school and then the Faith seems to me to be a terrible waste. From personal experience I know that youth clubs can do much towards solving this problem, and I believe many parents would support meproviding the clubs are of the highest standard. This cannot be unless they have encouragement and money. The Catholic Youth Association in any area should be foremost because it has a real reason for existing, but in most places such associations, where they exist, are almost without income and in the hands of very busy people. Quite apart from the youth service, which deals with clubs, the lack of hostel facilities is shocking. There is not one hostel in London for Catholic working boys! And 'still people profess to be surprised that so many ofthe young Catholic men who work in London, away from home, have lapsed. A Catholic marriage warms our hearts, and yet many discourage one of the agencies" where such marriages may be engendered. Any experienced club worker could quote numerous examples of how Catholic youth clubs have brought about the meeting of Catholic partners, when one has sometimes been
lapsed or a convert.
The youth service as it applies to Catholic clubs at present is as inefficient as the whole of the State scheme; but with a good-sized injection of encouragement. authority and material help it could become a strong weapon in the fight against the "leakage" problem. I recommend the youth service as part of the solution of the problem not because I am a full-time youth leader but because I think this is one way we can reach the boys and girls who are being lost and the renewal of the contact with them seems to be the stumbling block. My opinions may not be approved of in many quarters, but at least the people whom 1 represent-voluntary and part-time leaders as well as the few full-time leaders in Catholic clubs-have a right to be heard because, generally speaking, they form a large proportion of the Catholics who are in touch with the young people between the ages of 14 and 21 who are leaving the Faith.

As a current resident of Chatt, I totally agree. Chattanooga is so central to a lot of cities that it does make sense to have an NSD celebration here but we really are 4th on the list on these things. You gotta hit Nashville and Memphis, and you can't not have one in Knoxville, and you really can't have more than 3. It's just not possible. As for then being orange clad down here, I kinda have to disagree. Chattanooga is very diverse, culturally, so you've also got plenty of Bama, Georgia, Florida and auburn fans as well as Tennessee fans.

Movement Shala Photography
Friday, June 29th, 2012I am a Facebook fan there is no denying it. I use it for work and for personal use. I love everything about Facebook including how people I do not even know end up on my Facebook. For the past 5 or 6 months there has been a person on my Facebook that I keep saying, "Do I know this person?" I don't but the pictures of a pregnant woman and what looks to be a happy group of family and friends keep appearing on my Facebook. Then her son was born and I actually caught myself doing a meditation and offering them blessings. Good grief I do not know these people, yet through the photography, I feel like I am a part of this experience.
Today Tucson Biz Neat Salutes Movement Shala Photography with photographer Jade Beall. Her pictures are so realistic and profound that it makes you feel that you are part of the people's lives that she photographs. Maybe that is the way Jade wanted it. She is a Tucson High graduate and thanks to her teacher, Jerry Halfmann, she discovered she has a passion for photography.
Jade is no ordinary photographer. She has a real focus on women, being real! Natural or as she puts it, "the authentic beauty of women." Jade stated, "I photograph women just as they are, not airbrushed and not done up. Instead women dancing, yoga-ing, being mothers and sister, just being real juicy women!"
Her pictures show it when you look at them. I always am keeping an ear and eye out for Tucson Biz Beat and how Beall photographed women caught my eye over and over. I am unsure if I have seen a photographer go for such natural stunning pictures of women before. "I love that I can show a woman how beautiful she really is through photography." Jade says, "Our culture has failed at praising authentic beauty, in my opinion. I love that I can reflect the beauty which I see in all humans and facilitate a healing so that perhaps one can create a new story in believing that she is undeniably beautiful."
Jade Beall stated that she spent part of her life "feeling unworthy and ugly" and said "It feels good to feel beautiful." She uses her natural eye to capture the beauty of everything. Jade says "Today, I am joyful servant in helping other women feel wonderful about themselves because life isn't short, just a lot of people waste it. When we feel beautiful and worthy, we can stop focusing on a story that does not serve us and really enjoy this life, creating happiness for ourselves and for others!" Her pictures are wonderful and to try to pick one for this story would not do her justice so visit her site and look at the amazing talent Beall Has.
Photography and being a new mom is not her only passion. Beall may have an eye for beauty and can reflect the inner essence of people, but she also has a passion for beat and movement and she turns her wonderful photography studio into a dance studio where she teaches West African dance. Classes are open to the public and the website offers a variety of good information for this and other skilled instructors.
So Tucson Biz Beat proudly salutes this powerful women, mother, photographer, dancer, instructor and thanks her for bringing her creativity and positive outlook of life to Tucson and joining the ranks of people who do business for themselves. Thank you Jade Beall.

'Fifty years ago today I was baptised - symbolically declaring that my old selfish life was over and that I was becoming a new person in Christ'
8:30am Sunday 25th August 2013 in News By SNJ Reporter
CHRISTIAN Comment with Peter Farley of Minchinhampton Baptist Church.
Having just had my 67th birthday, I'm getting used to the idea that considerably more of my life is behind me than ahead of me.
And, you know, I don't really mind.
It won't surprise you to hear that there's still a lot in my life to look forward to.
The birth of another grandchild in the New Year, foreign travel, hopefully many more years of active retirement.
But there's also a huge amount to look back on - with gratitude and thankfulness.
More than 40 years of married life, two careers, a mortgage finally paid off, three children brought up and happily married themselves, my wife's recent cancer now resolved through surgery, medication and a great deal of prayer.
And at another level, having come to faith in my childhood, I look back on a whole life of enjoying the closeness of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
This month was particularly poignant for me as today, Sunday, August 25, marks 50 years to the day since I was baptised - by immersion - in the church where I was brought up in Guildford.
I had just taken my A-levels and was planning on going to university.
It seemed appropriate to be baptised then as a public declaration of my desire to follow Christ into my adult years.
Now, 50 years later, I still think that was the right decision.
My Christian faith is as strong now as it was then - more mature and considered, I hope, and refined by the tests of time but just as fervent and just as central to my life.
Different churches have different traditions.
Baptism by immersion is full of rich symbolism.
In the Bible, the Apostle Paul explains it like this: "buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God" (Colossians 2:12).
So, by being plunged under water 50 years ago, I was symbolically declaring that my old selfish life was over and that I was becoming a new person in Christ.
Heady stuff, and no doubt I haven't lived up to that promise much of the time.
But God has been good to me over the past 50 years.
And I look forward to what God has in store for me in the future.

Music media and marketing company MusicDish LLC announced that its Asian brand MusicDish*China will be representing 5-time World Muay Thai/Thai Boxing Champion Bryan 'Crazy Eyes' Cohen as his entertainment agent in Asia. In addition to martial arts, Bryan is also slated to act in upcoming feature films as well as develop programming for Asian TV viewers.
"Bryan is already an accomplished athlete with 5 World and one Intercontinental titles," said MusicDish*China founder Eric de Fontenay. "We will leverage this and connect it with his broader personae in the cultural and entertainment world where we see huge potential for him in Asia. And of course, music will also be a key element in or branding strategy."
Starting at the tender age of five, fighting has always been a part of Bryan Cohen's life. At 19 years old, Bryan started fighting in amateur league, and two years later he fought his first professional fight. Although he took a three-year break from professional fighting, he never gave up on his training and returned in 2011. In August 2011, he won the WPKA (World Pan-Amateur Kickboxing Association), UKC (Ultimate Knockout Challenge), WFK (World Federation of Known M.M.A.) and WOF (World O-Sport Federation) Super Welterweight World Muay Thai/Thai Boxing Champion titles, as well as the KICK Super Welterweight Intercontinental Champion title. In March 2012, he won his fifth Super Welterweight World title by unanimous decision, becoming the IMC (International Muaythai Council) World Champion. Bryan is now looking forward to stepping out and focusing on East Asia, particularly Thailand, the home of Muay Thai. Besides fighting, Bryan also has many other interests, including acting, hosting, TV licensing, and even clothing line.
BR>Part media company, part marketing agency, MusicDish*China connects live entertainment and social media to reach and interact with today's Chinese music fans. Through partnerships with major festivals, such as Midi (biggest and longest-running rock festival), JZ Shanghai and Jue Festivals, MusicDish*China engage fans through cutting edge content, brands and interactive platforms. MusicDish*China represents a growing network of worldclass talent, from Italy's Industrial Goth band The Medullary Paralysis, Riviera-based Angel Sweet Records or Muay Thai Champion Bryan 'Crazy Eyes' Cohen.

In Newport Aquarium's constant efforts to offer guests more new to see and do, Snowflake and Snowball are two of less than approximately 100 known white alligators in the world.
Come see Snowball and Snowflake eye to eye in the newly renovated Rainforest Exhibit.

Hey, lady. Ever hear of an animal shelter?

Sure the $50,000 is expensive, however who gets that $50,000? The researchers, the companies developing the technologies and the universities working on the sciences involved. That $50,000 isn't just going into one guy's pocket, it's supporting scientific breakthroughs.
While many don't agree with cloning, the breakthroughs that have resulted from cloning research are leading to significant advances in the treatment of many serious medical conditions, like leukemia, cancer and heart disease. The knee-jerk opposition to cloning is a result of ignorance of what cloning research entails and the direct benefits to society at large. Just as the space program is criticized for spending "too much money," the space program has benefited basic and applied sciences in ways previously unimagined by the original visionaries who started NASA. I'd rather someone spend 50K on a cloned dog than spend money on expensive purses or paying athletes to hit a ball with a stick. Besides, it's their money, who are we to complain. The US federal government wants to spend trillions on all sorts of crap, yet people will take the time to complain about a private citizen spending their money on something.
Great photo by the way.. it really does look like she wants to eat that pup!

They didn't have to be the best.
They just had to have a desire.
"He loved kids," the Rev. Ewart Wyle said on Oct. 12 as many of those kids, now grown, gathered at Highland Presbyterian Church to say goodbye to the 6-foot-5 mentor they never stopped calling "Coach."
"He would take any boy or girl on his team," the preacher said, "when other teams didn't want them."
Iverson Smith died on Oct. 8 after a yearlong battle with an inoperable brain tumor.
He was 70.
"He loved coaching the kids," Wyle said.
They were baseball Mets, Cubs and Royals, and football Seahawks and Eagles, and they played on youth athletic fields from Honeycutt to Tokay to Brentwood, and if they won the game, Iverson Smith shared in their joy.
If they lost, there was a lesson to be learned and there would be another day and another game to play.
"I never saw him yell at a kid," said Rodney McCants, who works with Fayetteville/Cumberland County Parks and Recreation. "Even when they lost, I never saw him get down on them. He saw kids like a piece of clay, and he would start molding them. He always saw potential in kids."
It mattered not how far they could hit a baseball or if they could field a line-drive or how fast they could run for the goal line.
"As long as you go out and try," he once said, "and never give up."
And have the time of your young life.
"Stuff that he taught me when I was 10, 11 and 12 ended up being things I use today, especially now that I have my own kids," said Chris English, 38, who wrote and produced a video essay on the coach he never forgot.
You didn't just find him on the ball fields.
You could find him in school classrooms with artifacts about the Civil War or in a hospital ward with a Beanie Baby in those enormous hands for kids sick at Christmas.
"It's all about putting big smiles on little faces," he once said.
Iverson "Smitty" Smith coached kids in this community for 42 seasons, and a father figure he became to many.
He gave much.
He asked only, in the end, that our national pastime's anthem send him on his way.
"Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack ... at the old ball game."
So long, old Coach ... until we meet again.

Everything seems to be going according to plan up at Aberfoyle. The three osprey chicks are now three weeks old and are looking good. The male is doing a fine job bringing in fish every day, mostly rainbow trout, and the female has had her talons full this week, chasing off an intruder who's been flying close to the nest. It's been really interesting to see how the chicks react to mum being away from the nest - when she goes, the chicks keep really still and when she comes back, they spring back to life, exploring the nest and stretching their legs and wings. They've even started moving twigs about the nest, almost as if they're tidying up!
Feeding time for the osprey chicks
Blimey those chicks are well camouflaged!
The first of the peregrine chicks has taken the plunge and fledged. He's been named Duke after Duke's Pass. The other two chicks, which we think are males, will be named too once they've fledged, but at the moment they seem a little hesitant to take the next step. The parents are doing their best to coax them off the scrape. They're calling to them and the female's even tried bringing in a kill, feeding them briefly and then flying off with the food again. Unfortunately it's not having the desired effect and is simply leaving two rather confused looking youngsters, searching round the scrape to see if they can spot it or find some remains.
Where's it gone?!?!
And as if ospreys and peregrines weren't enough reason to visit Aberfoyle, there's some fab events going on every Saturday in July. The Summer Club is aimed at 8-12 year olds and costs just £3.50. It's all about birds on 6 July, bugs on 13, red squirrels on 20 and woodland explorer skills on 27. For information and to book, visit the Forestry Commission website.
We love a good character here on the Date with Nature blog and one of the youngsters at the Lincoln peregrines appears to be quite the cheeky monkey. Our woman on the ground, Kerry Davis, tells us more:
"We had quite an eventful few days here at the Lincoln peregrines last weekend. The first of the chicks fledged on Friday and it was amazing to see the male escorting it back to the nest site. By the following morning all four chicks had taken the plunge and flown the nest.
Four fledged chicks was exciting enough in itself, but things really started to kick off on Saturday afternoon, when a member of the public alerted us that one of the juveniles was sat on the wall in distress. We rushed over to investigate and there was one of the female youngsters, sat on the wall, but looking anything but distressed. In fact she was so relaxed that she spent the rest of the afternoon and much of Sunday morning relaxing in the same spot and didn't seem the slightest bit phased by the people keen to take her photo, earning her the nickname Bailey.
Her siblings seemed a little less keen to share the spot light. One decided to spend the day in a nearby tree, sitting above the traffic and conveniently at eye level with the Lincoln guided tour bus. The third sat on a ledge about 10m up the cathedral tower and the last (the sensible one) flew around the tower, generally doing what you'd expect peregrines to do, even treating us to spectacular views of a food pass directly over our heads.
At about 4pm on Sunday, Bailey decided she was bored with having her photo taken and would fly around a bit. Unfortunately, having only been flying for a couple of days at most, she still wasn't too steady on her wings and when she came into land, she missed the spot she was aiming for. She unceremoniously ended up in a heap on the floor just outside the Cathedral refectory, where people were enjoying a spot of afternoon tea outside and listening to a busker. Once she was over the shock of her landing, she decided to join in and hopped up onto a near by picnic table. She spent the next half an hour hopping about, including into a bike basket, then flew off into a tree.
Find the lady in the red coat. Got her? Good. Now look just to her right. Guess who!
We ended Sunday feeling very honoured to have seen these youngsters at such close quarters, but it looks like we could have our hands full over the coming weeks!"
Bailey - ready for her close up! Big thanks to Eddy Chandler for the photos.
It's time for a quick game of count the chicks with the Edinburgh sparrowhawks. When the webcam went down over the weekend, two of the eggs had hatched. It's now up and running again and it looks like a third chick has hatched out, but one of the adults keeps blocking the view so it's tricky to tell. Anyone else counted any more?

Bangkok Post reviews
Is this a new version of hamlet I see before me?
- Writer: Bangkok Post Editorial
- Published: April 3, 2013 at 8:05 am
All Soul Production is coming up with a new experimental play, which will portray Shakespeare's Hamlet in a new light. Hamlet! will be staged at All Soul Chamber Theatre on April 26 to 28 at 8.30pm.
Hamlet is one of the most famous tragedies written by William Shakespeare around 1600. It is a simple, irrational, strangely gratifying story, like some savage stone, wave-worn but intact.
A tragedy of a passionate and indecisive avenger, Hamlet tells the story of Prince Hamlet of Denmark who knows his obligations, but always runs out of time. He has to avenge his father, killed by his ambitious brother. He knows, but he hesitates, even with proof. Why? That's the question that has caught passionate critics', academics' and artists' attention for centuries.
The new version, Hamlet!, precedes the events of the play, creating a new action. It is like an oracle speaking to the heart of each generation about our time.
All "manpower" (undertakers, clowns, players, soldiers) play close to the "royal family's components" because their beliefs (in ghosts, supernatural signs) become the protagonists of a power struggle.
Hamlet! is directed by Maurizio Mistretta with, on stage, Antonio Meze, Goravee Tipsuk, Jaruyot Suwannabut, Kasaempath Vanichtanya, Kazu Ribeiro, Somchanok Tiyoa Meze, Sudkaneung Buranarachada and Tanwarat Boonyarit.
Tickets cost 250 and 500 baht. Places are limited to only 30 people per performance. All Soul Chamber Theatre is located at KS Residence on Sukhumvit Soi 54.
For reservations, call 087-697-4806.

Attack in Tokyo
Aum Shinrikyo, which is also known as Aum and Aleph, is a Japanese cult that combines tenets from Buddhism, Hinduism, and is obsessed with the apocalypse. The group made headlines around the world in 1995 when members carried out a chemical attack on the Tokyo subway system. A nerve agent, sarin, was released onto train cars, killing twelve and causing an estimated six thousand people to seek medical attention.
At the center of the group's belief is reverence for Shoko Asahara, Aum's founder, who says that he is the first "enlightened one" since Buddha. Asahara preached that the end of the world was near and that Aum followers would be the only people to survive the apocalypse, which he predicted would occur in 1996 or between 1999 and 2003. Asahara has claimed that the United States would hasten the Armageddon by starting World War III with Japan. At the time of the 1995 subway attack, the group claimed to have an estimated forty thousand members worldwide, with offices in the United States, Russia, and Japan.
During the morning rush hour on one of the world's busiest commuter systems, Aum members put a liquid form of sarin, tightly contained in packages made to look like lunch boxes or bottled drinks, onto five cars on three separate subway lines that converged at the Kasumigaseki station, where several government ministries are located. The perpetrators punctured the packages with umbrellas and left them in subway cars and stations, where they began to leak a thick liquid. Witnesses said that subway entrances resembled battlefields as injured commuters lay gasping on the ground with blood gushing from their noses or mouths. Twelve members of Aum, including Aum founder Shoko Asahara, were sentenced to death for the subway attack.
The 1995 attack was the most serious terrorist attack in Japan 's modern history, causing massive disruption and widespread fear in a society that is virtually free of crime.
Sarin, which comes in both liquid and gas forms, is a highly toxic and volatile nerve agent the Nazi scientists developed in the 1930s. Chemical weapons experts say that sarin gas is five hundred times more toxic than cyanide gas. Although sarin is very complex and dangerous to make, experts say that the gas can be produced by a trained chemist with publicly available chemicals.
Additional Attacks
As early as five years before the March 1995 subway attack, the group attempted to carry out at least nine biological assaults—all failed—according to a 1998 New York Times investigation. Originally, Aum planned to massacre citizens by spraying botulin, the most lethal natural poison to humans, from buildings and modified delivery vans. Aum's team of young scientists cultured and experimented with biological toxins, including botulin, anthrax, cholera, and Q fever. According to the CDC, Aum sent a fact-finding team to Zaire to study and collect Ebola virus samples in 1993. The transition to chemical weapons came after biological attacks failed.
After the subway attack, the State Department says that Japanese authorities reinvestigated and found Aum responsible for a mysterious attack—that later proved to be sarin—on a residential neighborhood in 1994 that killed seven and injured over one hundred people.

- The square where the hotel is, is full of homeless people and suspicious beings in the night. And it´s difficult to find it - its more likely big flat in a house, than a hotel.
I realy like this hostrl because it`s localization and clearen.
As I booked it as 4 stars it was a real unpleasant surprise to see hostel for price of a hotel
Was next to metro line.City centre.
No window in room,no air conditioner.noisy-outside lift by room's wall.stolen things,no breakfast,very poor service at all.Never not go again there!
excellent location, facilities for common use (refregerator, ironing board, etc.)
very small chamber, lack of comfort
The location is very good and very near to public transportation
Not clean , the bathroom is awful and far from the room staff are not nice and not exist most of the day
everything else except wifi worked well
near the metro station
the room lock need use key in both way into or out the room, kinda trouble
The price and the tranquility!
The ambience outside the hotel. There was no mirror in the bathroom.
I like the quiet enviroment and kindly service.
The doorplate of this hostel is very small. And the boss is not in the Hotel after 8:30 pm. So if you want to check in after 8:30 pm, you need to call boss directly, because the gate keeper will not open the gate untill she get the boss's approval. The boss and gate keeper only can speak Italian or Chinese. So if you just can speak English, it will be hard to communicate. To be honest, I have never met a hostel which ask customer identify themselves by phone call outside the gate of this hostel.
The room was very comfortable for two people,clean and also in a very convenient place for those who want to visit all the famous sights of Rome as it is near Termini station where all the public transport is.The room was in a good price and the stuff was friendly.

staff has not been at the hotel almost all the time.
friendly staff, clean, very close to the metro.
shared bathroom
near the subway and train
The entrance is not appealing, and ascesor her want to go down stairs. The employee who greeted us was not friendly and very unhelpful. During our stay, we were unable to replace the toilet paper when it ended, because on arrival was already halfway.
Nice, helpful staff. Clening was excellent.
The location is not that nice, but easy to asses.
The accomodation was slightly better than what we had booked, we booked a room with a shared bathroom but instead we were taken across the road to an apartment which was nicer than shared accomodation
But the hot water didnt work too well, some fittings were broken or not working ie the hob was cracked, and not all lights worked, we were supposed to have wifi but thr code was not in the apartment, looked like the lady checked us in was going home straight after so she couldnt give us the code till the next morning which was annoying, also the reception not always open which makes it hard if you are arriving after certain times
The only good point of this place was good access to sightseeing.
The room wasn't exactly what I saw on website. Bathroom was really dirty, so we were not able to take shower. The stuff did their job just when you told them what to do (no responsibility)
Location is very good, very suitable for Rome tour on foot. Price compared with other hotels in nearby location was reasonable, but still not worth overall.
The stay reminded us days when we lived in student campus: everything was economy class, shower in poor condition, water temperature while showering always changing, toilets together with shower and dirty (floor and bowl), room very small, no mirrors in room, one small window near the sealing, sheet cleaness average. Entrance from the street bearly noticable - a small signboard near big old door. To enter you have to call by door phone and speak with asian, poor english speaking guy to let you in. Then you have to roam through the creepy staircase until you the right door. Do not reccomend to people who's looking for some comfort, the place is just for spendingthe night.

Let me go
Permit me to take off,
running through the brambles and long grass
past the trees, through the ice
Let me reach the runway
picking up speed as I sprint across the barren ground
erasing all memories of blank gray
as I prepare to enter the sky
Let me fly
let me take to the skies by my own devices
leaping, dancing, however I choose
just let me spread my wings
Let me see
beyond the clouds, let me find the sun
feel its rays, absorb, soak in the warmth from its blaze
get as close as I can to capture some of its brilliance without burning
Or better yet, let me burn
let me crackle, sizzle, ignite, rage, explode!
let me truly live
constrained by nothing, soaring through and beyond the clouds
to the very core of the sun
Let me radiate the sun's light for all to see
Outside there is Life
There is Joy
Love, Friendship, Community, Faith, Individuality, Hope, Confidence
Outside there is Life
Inside there is cold
a broken spirit
there is fear
frustration, anger, boredom, confusion, loneliness, desire but no fire
God did not give me a spirit of timidity, they tell me. He gave me a spirit of courage.
But I cannot feel it.
I'm sorry I stood you up.
I could offer lame excuses
but they would mask the real reason why I left you hanging
I stood you up because you make me nervous
You are unapologetically unique
and I'm disarmed by how open you are
I feel like I could look into your eyes and see to the depths of your soul
and I'm not sure I would understand what I saw
So I avert my eyes,
Pretend I forgot about your invitation
Pretend I lost your number
I'm not strong enough to encounter your strength
And now, with feigned indifference,
I've built up a wall between us which will be almost impossible to tear down
All because I was afraid
I was afraid of you
because you're different
But more than that
I was afraid of myself
I was afraid that your beauty would make me realize how plain I am
and was afraid of the painful self-reflection that would bring
You see, I don't understand
how to have serious conversations with people
I don't understand
how to build friendships
and something about eye contact makes me want to retreat to a safe, solitary place
I wish I could explain my selfishness and self-loathing to you
I wish I could make you understand that I stood you up
not because you're different or because I don't like you
but because I'm afraid of myself
It's not you, it's me.
Number 12 we trust
Lead us to the Superbowl
Yeah Aaron Rodgers

Indiana officials have suspended their support for a proposed fertilizer plant while they investigate a Pakistani company involved in the project.
The Indiana Finance Authority issued $1.3 billion in bonds in December for a nitrogen fertilizer plant Midwest Fertilizer Corp. plans to build at the Port of Mount Vernon in southwestern Indiana's Posey County. Midwest Fertilizer Corp. is part of the Pakistan-based Fatima Group.

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, already the owner of several franchise and NFL records for a rookie signal-caller, can add another accolade to his résumé: Pro Bowl quarterback.
Griffin was named Wednesday evening to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster, along with special teams captain Lorenzo Alexander and left tackle Trent Williams, both of whom also were first-time selections. Rookie running back Alfred Morris and 15-year veteran linebacker London Fletcher were selected as alternates.
Griffin becomes the first rookie quarterback in Redskins history to receive the honor and only the second rookie quarterback in NFL history, after Dan Marino of the Miami Dolphins in 1983, to make the squad as an original pick. (Four other rookie quarterbacks have made the Pro Bowl as alternates.)
Griffin also becomes the first Washington quarterback since Brad Johnson in 1999 to be named to the Pro Bowl. That season, Johnson led the Redskins to a 10-6 record and the NFC East title.

Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at New York Life in July 2013.
Interview Details
I was contacted after meeting a recruiter at a job fair and called in for an interview within days. The first interview was not so much an interview as a briefing on what the company is about. The hiring manager talked as if I was already a certain hire. He went over what the position entailed, compensation and handed me some forms to fill out for the second interview. The entire process didn't take longer than 30 minutes.
The second interview was the basic personal questions about weaknesses, strengths, teamwork etc.
Interview Question – There were no difficult questions. It was standard interview fare that you could google up in preparation for an interview. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I accepted a better offer in a different field.

Easy Interview
I applied in-person and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at New York Life in July 2013.
Interview Details Super long interview process. I had 4 meetings over a month before an offer was made. There weren't really any difficult questions - all pretty standard. I wasn't nervous or surprised by anything. My interviewer was a super nice guy that I really liked and would have been a strong factor if I had chosen to work there.
Reason for Declining – The compensation is all incentive based. There was a lot of earning potential but you don't have a single dollar before you make NYL money. It wasn't right for me but may be a good opportunity for someone else.

Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter - interviewed at New York Life in July 2013.
Interview Details 3 Interviews; First with HR; Second and third were with a call center manager. They were pretty easy/standard interviews. Most of the managers interviewing for these types of positions are mainly looking for scheduling flexibility as call center staff are generally required to work overtime and have flexible schedules.
Interview Question – What are your weaknesses/strengths? Answer Question

Difficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2 months - interviewed at New York Life.
Interview Details There is a long hiring process - you have to do tests to see if you can work independently, are self motivated, can do basis math, and are adept for a career in sales. There is also a background check and credit check. If you can't pass the background or credit check, you will not get past this part. I think about 90% of folks don't make it past the 1st interview.
Interview Question – How would you handle a long slump in sales? Answer Question

Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at New York Life in June 2013.
Interview Details First "interview" is really just meeting the recruiter and time to ask questions you have. Then you are set up with "info sessions," one at a time, (there are 3) before the real interview with the person making hiring decisions. Really makes you think about whether or not you want to be selling for them. They are seemingly transparent about all of their work and success so it seems like a good gig, if thats the industry you want to be in.
Interview Question – Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Answer Question

Difficult Interview
I applied in-person and the process took 3+ months - interviewed at New York Life in June 2013.
Interview Details Hiring took forever as they kept saying that the approval process takes a while. I have worked in the financial field with other companies and they did not have a problem with getting me in and going right away. Partners are disingenuous with you to try to make It seem like you are fine
Interview Question – TIme waiting to get approved Answer Question

Interview Details Didn't apply. They contacted me via resume online, since I'm looking for a better career. I was interview by two individuals, HR Rep, and a Partner Associate. One individual seemed as he had better things to do, We were interrupted by Agents in the hallway being to loud.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining – 100% commission. Not my first job, nor am I stupid to work for free. Also the office seemed very sad, but it was being design or construction was being done.

Me and the missus just saw this, its ok.
It has a decent story and good acting and directing. Pacino is great as usual and is totally unrecognizable from his other roles.
The story is good but has no climax or anything. Its basically a flat line. No real comflicts or conquests, basically the same tempo thru the entire movie.
Its not a bad movie but I wouldnt recommend wasting your money to see it in the theater or even renting it as a new release. If your wife brings it home one night or you find it in the $.99 rental bin give it a look otherwise, you aint really missing much.

How about we cut the salaries of the Senate and Congress?? My God we treat those people like they are celebrities.
I support this idea. Problem is that cutting Congressional salaries is good for rhetoric but the effect on the budget deficient is minimal. I support across the board even cuts. Say 10% of all discretionary spending programs? Balancing the budget will require sacrifices from almost all aspects of our society.

A 5-year follow-up of the arithmetic calculation abilities of low-income children with specific language impairment (SLI) is reported. The performance of fourth- and fifth-grade children with SLI was compared with that of typically developing low-income peers and with younger, typically developing low-income children. Short-term memory, language, and arithmetic calculation abilities were assessed. Compared to their age-matched peers, the SLI group exhibited low scores on a number recall task, a marked difficulty with mathematical calculation under timed conditions, and numerous errors when retrieving rote math facts such as 7 x 6=_. Although children with SLI made more written calculation errors than their age-matched peers, they did not differ in the type of errors made. However, strategies used to solve written calculation differed among the groups. Rather than use automatic math fact retrieval, children with SLI were more likely to use counting strategies to solve calculation problems. These findings offer further evidence that children with SLI have difficulty with rote memory. The findings also document the real-world consequences of slow, inefficient memory retrieval in children with SLI.

My personal favorite plane of all time. I was at Reno Air Races back in `02 I think to see one come unglued. A tragety reflected in the crews faces as they took down their pit setup. A terrible loss for all..retold.
