Seth MacFarlane's Sunday News and Views
By Caleb Epley on ©October 25th, 2014 @ 10:32pm
Posted in Blue Blooded Opinions, Main | 3 Responses
Good evening, friends.
It's almost the end of October somehow, and tomorrow's date (October 26th) marks the 41st birthday of one of the most prominent TV writers in the industry, so let's celebrate it here!
Seth MacFarlane spent his early career as an animator and writer for Cartoon Network - working on shows like Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo. He pitched his series Family Guy to Fox in 1998, and the network picked it up immediately. The show eventually made MacFarlane a household name. Seth writes and animates each episode and voices several of the main characters. The series' success has allowed MacFarlane to contribute to other fields of entertainment; he has hosted The Oscars, written and starred in two feature films (Ted and A MIllion Ways to Die in the West), and developed two more more successful TV programs (American Dad and The Cleveland Show).
Amazingly, Seth came very close to losing his life in the September 11th terrorist attacks. He was scheduled to board American Airlines Flight 11, but arrived at the airport ten minutes late because of a hangover and a mistake in his itinerary. The plane was hijacked and crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center an hour later. It's difficult to imagine how that would feel, but MacFarlane has certainly made the most of his extra time.
Happy birthday, Seth. On to the news:
Kentucky falls to #1 Mississippi State
The Cats weren't able to capitalize in their chance at upsetting the nation's number one team, but they had a good showing. Kentucky fell by a final score 45-31, thanks in part to an onside kick that Mississippi State returned for a touchdown with two minutes remaining. While many fans were hoping for an upset, it was a decent turnaround from the team's no-show at LSU. The loss stings, but if the Cats can continue to perform like they did in this game, finding a sixth win shouldn't be a problem.
Patrick Towles was phenomenal
Many expected Heisman-hopeful Dak Prescott to be the most impressive quarterback this evening, but Towles gave him a run for his money. Patrick finished with 390 yards passing, 76 yards rushing, 4 TDs (2 passing, 2 rushing), 0 interceptions, and 11 yards receiving (because why not). In fact, Towles contributed to all but 27 of the team's yards on offense. Not a bad outing for a guy who many thought would be a place-holder for Drew Barker.
The Cats get a pair of YAHTZEES!
It wasn't all bad news for the team after today's loss. First, Roland Walder (the #16 linebacker in the class of 2016) announced his commitment to the Cats this afternoon via Twitter. A few hours later, 4-star RB Quinton Baker also committed to the team. Rebuilding isn't an easy task, but as long as quality commits like Walder and Baker keep rolling in – you have to like Kentucky's prospects going forward.
Rich Brooks and Andre Woodson return to Lexington
Former UK coach Rich Brooks and quarterback Andre Woodson attended today's game hoping to provide some mojo from their team's 2007 upset of #1 LSU. While Kentucky couldn't capitalize, it was good to see the two UK legends back in the bluegrass.
And finally, there's this photo of Matthew Mitchell
Never change, coach.
That's it for now. See ya'll tomorrow.
Another YAHTZEE! Quinton Baker Commits
By Nick Roush on ©October 25th, 2014 @ 9:47pm
Posted in FB Recruiting, Main | 4 Responses
A player I was hoping Neal Brown could keep home, Ashland Blazer's Quinton Baker has committed to the Wildcats. A 247 Composite 4-star running back, Baker is one of the best prospects in Kentucky's deep Class of 2016 and the son of former Wildcat Al Baker. With 4.49 speed, Baker is a playmaker that has hardly reached his potential.
I'm blessed to say I'm committed to the University of Kentucky. 🔵⚪ #BBN #whynot #Yahtzee

They Kept It Close, but The Cats Didn't Have Enough for the Upset
By Nick Roush on ©October 25th, 2014 @ 9:30pm
Posted in Football, Main | 6 Responses
This is what it feels like to be a part of big-time college football.
With the eyes of the world watching on CBS, a loud and full Commonwealth Stadium witnessed a Kentucky team that was good enough to beat the #1 team in the nation, but is still fighting to become a consistent threat in the SEC. The defense made Dak Prescott look human, but allowed Josh Robinson to power through tackles like he was on fire (NFL Blitz-style). Patrick Towles had the best game of his career, but nobody, I mean NOBODY could run the ball except him.
Losing always sucks, but this one sucked a little less. Here's why…
After getting embarrassed, the young Cats responded
Last week's 41-3 loss would have crippled most Kentucky football teams, but this isn't your typical Kentucky football team. The slow starters showed some early spunk, despite falling behind. After getting torched, the defense brought some big hits (I'm looking at you, Blake McClain). There were a lot of times in this game where it looked like MSU was going to run away with it, but the team never quit, providing enough big plays to WOW the world. If only there were a few more…
Patrick Towles outplayed Dak Prescott
Yeah, I said it. The Heisman Trophy front runner was all but destined to destroy the Cats defense. We've seen it happen so many times – Tebow, Cam Newton – it was inevitable the Cats were going to get crushed by the big man's legs. Instead, the defensive line played better than the preseason hype keeping Prescott contained for 90% of the game. When Kentucky's running game didn't work, Towles made it work with his legs. His 76 rushing yards are misleading because he was sacked 6 times. The runs extended drives and kept the hope alive.
Through the air, Towles had his moments of inaccuracy. They were definitely outweighed by his great moments. The BBN saw three of the best throws of his career; one was a 55-yard completion to Timmons, one 58-yarder to Javess Blue in the seam, but his 3rd one in the end zone to Ryan Timmons on 4th down was broken up. He finished with 390 passing yards (career-high), 76 rushing and 4 total touchdowns, accounting for all but 38 of the Cats 504 yards of offense.
Dak Prescott is great, but any person watching that game could see that he wasn't as great as Patrick Towles.
Tip your hats to the DLine
The Kentucky defensive line showed America how to slow down the Heisman Trophy front-runner. Bud Dupree and Za'Darius Smith played like mad-men, but still kept their composure for a disciplined pass rush. Dak still managed 88 yards on the ground, but all but two were hard earned. Every pass, option, and QB-designed run was met with a UK defensive lineman. Every hit was punishment. Bud finished with 10 tackles, Za'Darius with 8, while they combined for 4 tackles for loss and a pair of sacks.
The DLine's biggest problem all year was playing too aggressive. That may sound silly, but too many times they ditched their responsibility to make th ebig play, only to give up a big play. Their play tonight proved to me that they can be coached up, only leaving more room for improvement in the future.
As good as some of it was, there's a reason why the BBN is collectively shaking its head. Here are just a few…
Four times within seven, and the Cats couldn't equalize
Every time the Cats had a chance to pull off the comeback, reality sank in. Not once, not twice, but three times the Cats went 3-and-out with a chance to equalize. The big plays that kept them in the game only seemed to happen when they were down 14. I wish there was an easy answer, but somehow they could never keep the momentum to put the game within reach.
What in the hell happened in the run game?
Is Boom the only answer? I have NO idea where to even begin with that box score.
On the other side of the ball, Kentucky once again let a power-back look like Walter Friggin' Payton. First it was Matt Jones, then it was Mike Davis, this time it was Josh Robinson. Averaging 8.6 yards per carry, Robinson had 2 touchdowns and 198 yards. Dan Mullen has done a great job coaching this year, but he deserves a couple smacks in the face for throwing it in the 4th quarter instead of letting Robinson do work every single play.
When the Cats will figure it out……your guess is as good as mine.
Four dropped passes in the Red Zone
They weren't always THE play needed for the win, but all of them could have been caught and scored. In a game where they could never get over the hump, just two of those balls caught could have given them the 14 points needed to get Kentucky over the hump.
That onside kick
Recovering an onside kick is probably the most difficult thing to do in football. It's understandable if the team doesn't recover the kick, but to let the person run 40-yards for a touchdown????? It was unfair for the game to end in the way it did.
It wasn't what we hoped for, but the Cats proved that Stoops wasn't kidding when he said, "We're just getting started, bro." The Cats are knocking on the door, it's only a matter of time before they're an important part of college football.
Just because there's a loss doesn't mean we can't YAHTZEE!

Tonight was rough, but the Cats' performance gives plenty of hope for the future. It isn't just the BBN that is seeing the progress. The 16th-ranked linebacker in the class of 2016, Roland Walder, announced his commitment to Kentucky shortly after tonight's game. The Dayton, OH native runs a 4.5 40-yard-dash and ensures that tonight wasn't a total wash.
I am officially committed to play football at the University of Kentucky #BBN #Whynot #StoopsTroops

Rich Brooks, Matthew Mitchell and John Calipari at today's game

Coach Mitchell and his extra medium jersey filled in for Jared Lorenzen on the field before the fourth quarter and he owned Commonwealth Stadium. Mitchell introduced Rich Brooks and John Calipari to the crowd before leading the 'Blue/White' chant throughout the stadium. The photo above shows the three coaches hanging out on the sideline before they took the field.
The UK Hoops Instagram account sent out a good shot of Mitchell rallying the troops too:

Stoops: "Our team is strong. They're strong in the heart"
By Mrs. Tyler Thompson on ©October 25th, 2014 @ 8:15pm
Posted in Football, Main | 12 Responses
Mark Stoops sounded disappointed but ultimately pleased with how his team battled back in their loss to #1 Mississippi State. "It is what it is," Stoops told reporters. "We got beat by a better football team." Stoops said he liked how hard the team played down the stretch and the effort they showed, but at the end of the day, to beat a team like Mississippi State, you have to play perfectly.
You have to admire the Cats' heart, though. "Our team is strong," Stoops vowed. "They're strong in the heart. They're strong in the mind."
Weird to say after a loss, but I feel much better about our bowl chances than a week ago.

Patrick Towles accounted for 466 yards of offense

Kentucky quarterback Patrick Towles had himself a game today. The sophomore threw for 390 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions, while adding another 76 yards and two scores on the ground. The 466 total yardage exceeded that of Dak Prescott, who accounted for 304 of Mississippi State's yards. Heisman who?
After the game, Towles, though disappointed in the loss, told radio listeners he never doubted his team's ability to compete with the nation's best. "We know we can hang," he said. "We know what we can do, but it's nice for the country to see what we can do."
Neal Brown said he was really excited by Towles' level of play and he encouraged is by the entire offense. "We're close," said Brown.
This hit by Blake McClain, though…

UK's special teams coach needs to turn that hat around next week, if there is a next week. It's not a good look when you're getting chewed out on the sideline.

Some nice acting from Patrick Towles earned Mississippi State an unnecessary roughness penalty following the Cats' last touchdown and it put UK in great position for its onside kick attempt. We won't get into how said onside kick went, but nice job by Towles to draw the flag.

Patrick Towles did it all against Mississippi State. He passed for 390 yards, and two touchdowns, rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, and even caught a ball for 11 yards. Towles put up all but 27 of UK's yardage today, a heroic feat that ultimately fell short. Here are some of his highlights…
He ran in touchdowns:
He got in his teammates' faces when they dropped passes:
He put the Cats on his back and danced a little:
Even though the comeback fell short, kudos to Patrick Towles for one hell of a game.

The Cats gave it a good shot, but Mississippi State was just too much, overpowering the Cats at the end by a score of 45-31.
Patrick Towles turned in an unbelievable performance, with 477 total yards and four touchdowns. Towles did it all tonight, passing for 390 yards, rushing for 76, and even catching a pass for 11 yards. He accounted for all but 27 of UK's yards against the Bulldogs. Wow.

The latest addition of what's known as the Holy War will kickoff at 7:15 p.m. Pacific Time on ESPN2. Both the Utah Utes and the BYU Cougars are 2-1 on the season, with Utah's sole loss coming in a heartbreaker last week to the OSU Beaver and BYU's loss coming at the hands of Virginia. Here are the major questions you're likely asking yourself about the game. Because I'm psychic and know what you're thinking.
Will this game live up to last year's contest?
I sincerely hope so, but it's doubtful. For those who can't recollect what went down, check out this video. (Yeah, it's 23 minutes long, but it is definitely worth watching.) It was without a doubt one of the wilder endings in NCAA history.
So is this Travis Wilson guy the real deal?
I think so. He did throw three interceptions against Oregon State, true, but his 142 rushing yards kept the Utes in the game until the very end. He is not the most graceful runner you will ever see — read: he looks like a galloping giraffe when he takes off out of the pocket — but it's hard to argue with his 244 rushing yards and five touchdowns through three games. Wilson only scored 11 touchdowns in 2012 and has exceeded that number already in 2013.
But the BYU quarterback Taysom Hill is also a good runner, right?
He's the best in the nation (for quarterbacks, that is)! I unfortunately didn't get a chance to see the Cougars annihilate the Texas Longhorns a few weeks ago, but Hill's numbers were out of this world. On only 17 carries he was able to gain a staggering 259 yards and three touchdowns. Yes, he was also 9-for-26 passing, which is terrible, but those running stats are crazy. I expect both quarterbacks to put up rushing totals that far exceed what their running backs will produce.
So will there be, like, any defense at all?
Well, BYU is 35th in the nation in total defense and 41st in the nation in scoring defense. Utah is 69th in the nation in total defense and 79th in the nation in scoring defense. With Utah eighth in the nation in points scored per game (49.3) and BYU at second in the nation in rushing yards per game (368.5), I expect to see a lot of fireworks on display a LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Okay, the Holy War is a pretty good name for a rivalry. Does it have a rich history?
Does it ever! Check out the Wikipedia page about its history. Outside of a 54-10 blowout win by Utah in 2011, the game has been incredibly competitive this millennium. The game will go on a two-year hiatus after next season's meeting, so enjoy it while you can!

Questions about issues in the news for students 13 and older.
Have we gone trophy-crazy as a society, bestowing trophies on children for almost anything, even just showing up? Are we afraid children will be hurt by losing, so we make everyone a winner? Or are awards an effective way to raise children's self-esteem and keep them motivated to do better?
Do we give children too many trophies?
In the Op-Ed piece "Losing Is Good for You," Ashley Merryman writes about the decades-old trend of giving children countless participation trophies and awards.
As children return to school this fall and sign up for a new year's worth of extracurricular activities, parents should keep one question in mind. Whether your kid loves Little League or gymnastics, ask the program organizers this: "Which kids get awards?" If the answer is, "Everybody gets a trophy," find another program.

text: The Manual: We separate fact from fiction on five common prostate cancer myths23 Oct 2014When it comes to cancer, there's always a story in the newspaper. One week coffee causes cancer, the next week it prevents it. Unsurprisingly prostate cancer has not escaped. Stories about what makes you more likely to get prostate cancer are everywhere. And misunderstandings about the disease are common. Our Specialist Nurse, John Robertson lays the facts on the line.Read moreiconCommentsTags: Supporting men, Diagnosis

Katie 21, and husband Nick 23, knew before the wedding that Katie had terminal cancer but Nick vouched to marry the love of his life. With all her complications Katie planned every part of her wedding and her dressed had to be altered many times due to the constant weight loss
Katie died 5 days after her wedding. To see a fragile woman dress as bride with a beautiful smile makes you think… Happiness is always there within reach, no matter how long it lasts. Lets enjoy life and don't live a complicated life. Life is too short.
Work as if it was your first day. Forgive as soon as possible.
Love without boundaries. Laugh without control and never stop smiling. Please pray for those suffering from cancer.

How do I inspire my child to write?
It starts with a simple sentence.
Some of my most enjoyable moments were teaching a five-session writing class to elementary students. This is an age where their imaginations are getting broader and more inventive. This is the best time to get them to write those wonderful thoughts down on paper. But not every child I had was very excited to write.Read more here...

It's taboo to admit that you're lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven't left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. Ha ha, funny. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you're not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are.
A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn't transition well to adult life, that you'd fall right through the cracks. And look at you now. La di da, it's happening.
Your mother, your father, your grandparents: they all look at you like you're some prized jewel and they tell you over and over again just how lucky you are to be young and have your whole life ahead of you. "Getting old ain't for sissies," your father tells you wearily.
You wish they'd stop saying these things to you because all it does is fill you with guilt and panic. All it does is remind you of how much you're not taking advantage of your youth.
You want to kiss all kinds of different people, you want to wake up in a stranger's bed maybe once or twice just to see if it feels good to feel nothing, you want to have a group of friends that feels like a tribe, a bonafide family. You want to go from one place to the next constantly and have your weekends feel like one long epic day. You want to dance to stupid music in your stupid room and have a nice job that doesn't get in the way of living your life too much. You want to be less scared, less anxious, and more willing. Because if you're closed off now, you can only imagine what you'll be like later.
Every day you vow to change some aspect of your life and every day you fail. At this point, you're starting to question your own power as a human being. As of right now, your fears have you beat. They're the ones that are holding your twenties hostage.
Stop thinking that everyone is having more sex than you, that everyone has more friends than you, that everyone out is having more fun than you. Not because it's not true (it might be!) but because that kind of thinking leaves you frozen. You've already spent enough time feeling like you're stuck, like you're watching your life fall through you like a fast dissolve and you're unable to hold on to anything.
I don't know if you ever get better. I don't know if a person can just wake up one day and decide to be an active participant in their life. I'd like to think so. I'd like to think that people get better each and every day but that's not really true. People get worse and it's their stories that end up getting forgotten because we can't stand an unhappy ending. The sick have to get better. Our normalcy depends upon it.
You have to value yourself. You have to want great things for your life. This sort of shit doesn't happen overnight but it can and will happen if you want it.
Do you want it bad enough? Does the fear of being filled with regret in your thirties trump your fear of living today?
We shall see.

Wringing out a washcloth in space
(Source: fencehopping)
Alright Japan, now you're just toying with us. Your relentless onslaught of weirdness and cuteness has us glued to our monitors lest we miss the next awesome thing you create or do. We're putty in your hands. Now you've gone and made a series of photographs of cats dressed up as creative interpretations of sushi toppings, resting comfortably atop giant mounds of sushi rice, secured by enormous strips of nori. This one has pretty much rendered us speechless.
These "Sushi Cats" or "Neko-Sushi" are the work of Japan-based company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts. Who needs to shower or go to work when there is stuff like this to see?
"According to the History of Sushi Cats video, the cats are a magical and historical creature that have been influencing humans since the beginning of time. Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts has released a mobile game app for iPhone and Android phones featuring the Sushi Cats. They also have an online store that offers photo prints, postcards and more (only available in Japan)."
Neko-Sushi is an extremely unusual life-form consisting of a cat on top of a portion of sushi rice. Although several references have come down to us through history from various researchers and witnesses, their existence is still shrouded in mystery and actual sightings remain rare.
There are several academics who have devoted their lives to the study of these creatures. According to a number of these, Neko-Sushi make use of gaps in space to come to us from an alternate dimension. Beyond these "gaps" lies the world of the Neko-Sushi in which, it is recently understood, lies the true identity of the cats that dwell with us here in the human dimension.
We can't look away. It's just too cute… too strange… too awesome.
Visit Laughing Squid for even more Neko-Sushi goodness.
So let me tell you about the shittiest parent on the motherfucking planet.
I work at a grocery store and this man comes in with his 11 year old son. He buys a pack a cigarettes and a two cases of beer. The son was holding a two dollar drawing pad and placed it on the belt and I guess the dad didn't notice it at first but when I was about to scan the pad he asked where'd it have come from and turned towards the kid and asked "Did you put that shit up there?". He told me to put it back and then told his 11 year old child that he "ain't paying for that gay ass notebook.". So I looked at the kid, who was close to tears and saying how he ran out of paper at home and my heart broke. So I gave the pad to him, for free, and told the dad I would take care of it. I gave the kid some tokens for a game outside and said I would look forward to buying some of his drawings and paintings when he's all famous. He kids face was so priceless and I thought everything was good. But then, about 10 ten minutes after giving the kid his notebook, I walked outside and saw this. The drawing pad all ripped up and tossed on the pavement. I could only imagine what happened in the parking lot, but I know that that poor kid heart is fucking ripped apart, just like this pad.
I'm fucking horrified that there are parents like this, who, just because it's not masculine or gender specificthey won't let their children follow their true passions or explore interests that lead to their happiness. Even more so, I'm horrified that parents don't care about the fine arts anymore because it doesn't have job security. Since when did it ever matter to a child if their passion makes them money or not? Parenting is about supporting whatever makes your child happy. Have some fucking consideration for your child's wants not your homophobic and anti-art ideals.
this post breaks my heart. literally made me cry.
i know how that feels.
when i was little, my dad use to yell at me for drawing on paper. we only had writing paper for homework, and we were very poor.
he use to get really angry at me for "wasting paper" and tell me i was wasting my time. it caused me to keep anything and EVERYTHING i ever drew at school, in my desk. then at the end of the year i would throw it all away and keep nothing because i was so terrified of what my dad would say if he knew that was what i was doing at school.
I can only ASSUME, that at some point, one of my teachers noticed and told my mom, because around my 10th or 11th birthday she gave me a notebook. just a regular notebook, TO DRAW IN. I was told that i had to keep it hidden from my dad or else he'd take it away. but i am grateful for that book.
when i was about 19 my dad apologized to me about it after I helped my little brother finish an art project for class, he was 9 at the time.
though my dad apologized, i think it effected me in a lot of negative ways. even into college, it left me feeling like i always had to hide my artwork or that i had to be ashamed of my work.
i don't think my dad is a terrible person, he just came from a really ignorant culture which placed little value in literature/art.

AMAC Open for Business in New Hangars
AMAC Aerospace, launched in July last year, is ready for business in the first of two new hangars at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, Switzerland. According to CEO Heinz Köhli, the start-up maintenance, refurbishment and completion center officially opened its doors yesterday but had already begun work on its first product, an Airbus A320 executive interior for a Middle East client. The initial phase of construction includes a 43,000-sq-ft double hangar as well as workshops and offices totaling an additional 10,000 sq ft. The second phase of construction will be completed in mid-2009 and features an 86,100-sq-ft widebody hangar as well as more shops and offices. More than 100 employees are at work and AMAC expects to employ more than 250 by the end of next year. AMAC was founded by Köhli, with partners Kadri Muhiddin, Bernd Schramm and Mauro Grossi. Collectively, the four men have a total of more than 90 years of experience in the aviation industry, ranging from heavy maintenance and overhaul to completion and refurbishment, to finance and organization.

Museum Workshop exhibition opens
We are excited to announce Museum Workshop has opened to over 2000 visitors in the first weekend. The following are pictures of our Royal Daimler arriving and being pushed into position in the exhibition space.

First wash in a long, long time…
On a warm sunny autumn day in Canberra outside the National Museum of Australia's storage repository in Mitchell, the conservation team gave the Daimler a high pressure hot wash to remove heavy accretions of dirt and road debris from the undercarriage. Prior to the wash, 'truck … Continue reading
Some pleasant, and not so pleasant surprises!
As part of our conservation treatment, we have begun work on the body of the Daimler to remove internal carpets, floor panels and seats. In the pictures below, you can see that we have had some interesting finds.

Initial unpacking after pest control
After 48 hours in a plastic tent the Daimler looks quite unreal.
Arrival in Canberra
Arrivals are also exciting as you get to show others in the organisation what all the fuss has been about. As the doors go up on the trailer the beast emerges.
Daimler pick up
Object pick ups are always a bit exciting and a bit sad. Someone is always losing a piece of history to the national collection – and the nation is gaining a story. The 15th of November 2009 was no different. … Continue reading

"Hello, I'm with tech support for Microsoft,
And we noticed that you were online and downloaded certain files that can harm your computer and cause a system crash. We need to log on remotely to fix this for you."
That's how it starts, it ends with, "Hi, this is Steve from the Village Geek, I'm sorry but those scammers caused a lot of damage. It will take $200 to $300 to save your data and get your system running again. By the way, you need to call your bank and let them know you have had your identify stolen"
This type of scam has been going on for years, but I've never mentioned it before because I have only seen two cases in the first 17 years we were in business. I mention it now because I have seen six cases in the last two months. These scammers are getting very aggressive. They offer the online support for a nominal fee of $19.95 or so. While they prey on people that are less tech savvy, at least two of the recent attacks were on customers that were very savvy. The scammers just happened to call when the customer was dealing with some issues on the computer already, and it seemed logical.
In both those cases, the customer was charged over $400, and the scammers asked for information that would compromise their identities.
The most recent case the customer realized what was happening, and refused to give out his social security number, so the scammers locked his computer so he could never access it again.
I will give you some technical direction here, but first and foremost I want you to realize a few things.
1. Microsoft is not monitoring your individual daily online activities, and if they were watching for any reason, they would not have your name and phone number.
2. Microsoft does not call and offer online assistance. They have enough trouble dealing with the tech support calls that are made to them.
3. If you didn't initiate contact with the person that wants to log onto your computer remotely, don't let them. End of story.
4. NEVER give your personal identity information to anyone over the phone.

4 Questions to Ask Before Pricing that Next Job
By Michael Casey
| Posted on April 06, 2011
Share & Save
Text Size
Recently, I received two prices and one very thoughtful conversation while pricing a print job from three printers. The thoughtful conversation won the deal.
Instead of chucking out a price based on the request for pricing (RFP) document, product specifications and quantity, slow down a bit. Take the time to consider the four questions below to increase your chances of winning the job. If the print buyer is unwilling or unable to share the big picture, you are working at the wrong level, positioned as just another of the three bid printers, or on the outside looking in with no hope of winning.
Question 1: "Did another printer write this RFP for the buyer?"
Have you ever received an RFP and thought to yourself, "This looks like a printer wrote it!" You're probably right and that printer is in the driver's seat. It happened to us last week. We received a RFP and concluded another firm had the inside track. We walked away without bidding and spent time elsewhere.
You might disagree with our decision, but we'd rather spend time with customers creating RFPs, planning projects from scratch, or working with customers who don't send RFPs in the first place. Think about your chances of winning before responding, or at least consider doing a little exploration by first asking the buyer a few questions.
Question 2: "Can you please explain the overall project and how this print job fits in?"
Your hope is that the buyer will explain how the job fits into the overall objective to understand the big picture. This will open up more questions to help you better serve the customer's needs, offer advice, save them money, change the approach and increase the likelihood of a successful result. The print job is just the tip of the iceberg.
For example, a printer called us recently to team up on a project. It received a RFP to conduct a customer survey and wanted some advice. The customer stated upfront the RFP was going out to three printers and they had a good idea of what they wanted, but were willing to review the RFP and overall project over the phone. The printer was able to help the customer save money and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome. It was awarded the project and the buyer appreciated the 30-minute conversation prior to receiving the proposal and pricing.
Question 3: "Please explain what you expect for results?"
Don't be surprised to hear a vague answer, or assume the print buyer knows how to measure success. Ask about return rates, desired action by recipients, closure rates, revenue generation goals, etc. Offer suggestions to measure outcomes or milestones. Ask for the call to action and how you can help drive this. Help the customer calculate the return on investment. Share what you have experienced on similar projects, educate and help them set more realistic expectations. Even printing of a product user manual should be looked at for possible ways to build in marketing, cross-selling and up-selling opportunities. Help customers internalize their expectations while setting you apart from the competition.
Question 4: "Would you mind if we offer a few approaches beyond the stated RFP requirements?
You are hoping they'll answer, "Yes." and most will. All buyers love options, and most will be open to free advice. Give customers and prospects good, better and best choices, and offer different options. Some buyers may be cost conscious and welcome the opportunity to do more of the work, while others want no hassles and desire you to do all the work.
Here is an example of how powerful this question can be: In 2008, a printer in Scottsdale, AZ, pursued business with the athletic department at a major university. The goal of the RFP was to fill seats in the stadium during football games, but the RFP never mentioned this and referenced print jobs and mailings.
The printer owner met with key decision makers, asked the right questions and changed the ball game, no pun intended. He asked about goals and the previous year's budget, and then figured out the cost per filled seat. The printer then shocked the university by quoting price per filled seat rather than on print jobs.
The print firm—or marketing service provider—took over the entire marketing project while guaranteeing results. It built in performance bonuses and penalties while improving on the previous year's ROI and won the project. Pretty gutsy, but if marketing is your game, why not go for the whole pie?
To summarize, before getting into the nuts and bolts of a print job RFP, you may want to ask more questions upfront. Your questions may vary from the above, but consider elevating the conversation to a more strategic planning level.

text: Books February 4, 2002 Issue No Brakes A new biography of Sinclair Lewis. By John Updike Table of Contents What has Sinclair Lewis done lately to deserve a new, five-hundred-and-fifty-four-page (plus notes and index) biography, "Sinclair Lewis: Rebel from Main Street," by Richard Lingeman (Random House; $35)? Mark Schorer's even bigger biography of forty years ago, "Sinclair Lewis: An American Life," would seem to have closed the case, at least until Lewis's reputation—stuck in a slot below that of Theodore Dreiser, whose clumsy naturalism attained in at least two novels a tender, awed sense of tragedy that Lewis's satires never mustered, and above that of Upton Sinclair, the remorselessly prolific idealist with whom Lewis was frequently, to his disadvantage, confused—emerges from its doldrums. Unlike Zona Gale or Dorothy Canfield Fisher, he has not been quite forgotten. His pair of breakthrough novels, "Main Street" (1920) and "Babbitt" (1922), both of which contributed new terms to the American vocabulary of self-comprehension, compose a volume in the Library of America, and the Library plans to include in another volume "Arrowsmith" (1925), "Elmer Gantry" (1927), and "Dodsworth" (1929), the other major novels of Lewis's prodigious decade. "Main Street" made a publishing sensation the likes of which hadn't been seen since "Uncle Tom's Cabin" (1852), or at least "Ben-Hur" (1880); the full-price edition, by the fledgling firm of Harcourt, Brace, and the cheaper edition, by Grosset & Dunlap, together sold more than two million copies. Best-selling does not a classic make; "Babbitt" eventually outsold "Main Street" and comes closer to being a contemporary classroom standard, though far surpassed in that regard by a modestly successful short novel of 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." The writers slightly younger than Lewis—Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald—have remained more interesting than he to the critics and academics who perpetuate literary reputations. "Sinclair Lewis is nothing," Hemingway pronounced in his testamental "Green Hills of Africa," and a certain attic dust of datedness, as on quickly obsolete gadgetry, began to gather on Lewis's sensational novels as early as 1930, when he became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. It turns out that the choice, that year, had come down to Lewis and Dreiser, and the three-man committee went for Lewis, two to one, because he embodied "a vigorous trend in modern literature—high-class American humor." Lewis himself, forty-five at the time, was overheard (by Lillian Gish) to say, "This is the end of me. This is fatal. I cannot live up to it." It was not soon fatal, but things were never the same for him, and the rest of his life, while he continued famous and rich, is the tale of a losing struggle against alcoholism, loneliness, restlessness, and depleted, scattered creativity. No doubt it is to blow the dust off the oeuvre that Lingeman has undertaken to tell the author's tale again, but it is hard to know from what angle he is blowing. His acknowledgments claim, "I am critical of the late Mark Schorer's monumental 1961 biography," yet no criticisms emerge until the very end, when an epilogue states that the monumental biography (earlier cited as "an indispensable resource") is "pervaded by such a tone of disapproval that it left the impression with many readers that Schorer disdained both Lewis himself and his work. . . . Schorer's book gave academics and general readers a license not to read Sinclair Lewis, if they needed one." Such a license is generally issued at desks broader than a biographer's, and this peruser of Schorer's ten-year labor of research and criticism felt less disdain than, perhaps, impatience bred of overlong immersion in a character almost everyone found exasperating. Schorer writes in the lofty, sometimes sardonic voice of fifties mandarinism ("Perhaps it is futile," he gloomily muses, "to approach any Lewis novel as a work of art"), but his biography is at most junctures more energetic, more circumstantial, more engaging, and more earnestly analytical than Lingeman's. Lingeman, who devoted two excellent volumes to Dreiser, here seems hurried, and given to summation. He doesn't show Schorer's hospitality to direct quotation—Lewis, after all, crossed the path of almost every literary American of the half century—and many brisk assertions must be taken on faith. "He took the Yale entrance examinations in June, and while browsing in a Saint Paul bookstore met the owner, Arthur Wheelock Upson, a published poet who impressed him vastly." Who says Upson did? "It was not that he didn't want to be like the other boys; he wanted very much to belong, but on his terms." How do we know this? The critical first seventeen years of Lewis's life, spent in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, get thirteen pages; Schorer gave them forty-one, more richly exploiting the not inconsiderable record of small-town news clippings, Lewis's adolescent diary, and his abundant later reflections upon his roots. A portion of what Lingeman offers might be true of almost any boy: "Sometimes, he had to hold in his anger and became moody and withdrawn. This made him wary, touchy, and thin-skinned, lashing out at rejection yet needing acceptance, wanting to belong." The prose can be untidy to the point of vagueness: "In her memoir, Gracie gives her wedding night the faint virtue of having avoided the Victorian bride's trauma in the hands of a clumsy husband." Some sentences are hastily overloaded: "Jimmy Sheean, to whom Dorothy had been a rock in Moscow when his woman friend had tragically died, and who had returned to the States, joined them at Dorothy's invitation." There is a curious chumminess of diction: we find the phrase "baching it," "rock" oddly employed above and then in "Flanagan, a rock in a crisis," a manuscript called a "script," Hemingway's prose described as "carefully beveled" (chiseled?), and the word "dope" used, by my count, six times to mean "information," only once with quotation marks to indicate slang. To be fair, Lingeman can write wittily, as in calling the Lincoln Highway in the twenties "a notional rather than national road" and in saying of Lewis in Minneapolis society that "his impersonations, raucous speech, love of disputation, and unconventional manners soon mobilized tribal antibodies." But too often he writes like someone with his attention slightly elsewhere, and being editorially advised to get on with it. His biography of Dreiser gave the reader an impression of a basic nobility in the subject, amid considerable muddle and folly. Lewis's foremost virtue comes across as his brute industry: he was heroically able to rise, in whatever unhomey shelter his wanderlust had brought him to, through whatever grisly thickness of hangover, and go to his typewriter and pound out his daily five thousand words. Lewis typed with his two forefingers, which as he aged became so sensitive from hard use that he taped them. He produced the lesser novel "The Prodigal Parents" (1938) by writing from five in the morning until seven at night for two months. He composed two hundred and twenty-one thousand words of "Main Street" in fourteen weeks, and the four hundred and fifty-eight pages of "It Can't Happen Here" (1935) in four months. He did not, like many speed merchants both modern and Victorian, submit first drafts to the printer; he told James Branch Cabell that he had "destroyed all but a few pages" of the first thirty thousand words of "Main Street," and the editor of his first novel, "Our Mr. Wrenn" (1914), marvelled at the ease and good humor with which he executed suggested revisions. John Hersey, who acted as Lewis's secretary for a summer, was horrified, as he "endlessly" retyped drafts, "to see thousands upon thousands of words—not scattered words and phrases but long passages, whole scenes—ruthlessly slashed out." In England in 1923, Lewis and Arnold Bennett showed each other their manuscripts: Bennett's, of the masterly "Old Wives' Tale," was, in Lewis's eyes, "a strange MS, handwritten, in the most delicate script, legible as typing, with almost no changes in it, and decorated with colored initials by him, so that it's like a monkish scroll," whereas the first typescript of Lewis's "new novel," presumably "Arrowsmith," struck Bennett as "all blue and red with millions of alterations,—a terrible sight." Writing was for Lewis an industrial process, of which the first stage was gathering raw material—interviewing specialists such as clergymen and Realtors, occupying relevant terrains (Kansas City for "Elmer Gantry," Duluth for "Cass Timberlane")—and the second stage was turning his notes, outlines, detailed character sketches, careful maps, and extensive synopses (sixty thousand words, in the case of "Babbitt"!) into fiction. The one place he did not scour for dope was within himself. The women and the venues of his life left traces in his imagination, and certain characters speak his mind more than others, but his novels took their inspiration from a sociological topic rather than a confessional or self-exploratory impulse. While drawing on Sauk Centre memories all his life, Lewis never, Schorer points out, wrote the "Moon-Calf" novel so frequent in American literature—the autobiographical account of a "sensitive and misunderstood adolescent" in an unsympathetic environment—though young Hal Lewis certainly was a mooncalf, spindly, pimply, ill-coördinated, unpopular, romantically book-obsessed. And a mooncalf he remained, while acquiring wealth enough to wear London suits, travel through Europe, buy big houses, divorce two women, and get radium treatments for his face that ravaged it further. I would have welcomed from Lingeman a more detailed medical account of Lewis's red, riddled face. Hemingway viciously harped on Lewis's ugliness, even putting it into the novel "Across the River and Into the Trees," though it was Mary Hemingway who, after an encounter with the elderly Lewis in Venice, penned the horrific image "His face was a piece of old liver, shot squarely with a #7 shot at twenty yards." One wonders how his facial appearance, which might have made many men wish to be inconspicuous, consorted with his insatiable desire to show off and dominate a room. He was compulsively theatrical; as his affair with the young actress Marcella Powers intensified his interest in the stage, he wrote numerous plays and ebulliently acted in other people's, taking such roles as that of the Stage Manager in Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" and, in Paul Vincent Carroll's "Shadow and Substance," that of a priest opposite Powers's girlish aspirant to sainthood. "The theatre fascinated him," the playwright Marc Connelly later wrote, "but I do not think he ever had any comprehension of its technical demands." Amateur performance was his métier. Bennett, the most sympathetic and patient of Lewis's British observers, noted in his journals: Lewis has a habit of breaking into a discussion with long pieces of imaginary conversation between imaginary or real people of the place and period under discussion. Goodish, but too long, with accent, manner, and all complete. He will do this in any discussion; he will drag in a performance, usually full of oaths and blasphemy. Schorer, finding boyhood acquaintances still alive in Sauk Centre, reported that two of them concurred in remembering Lewis as "a show-off and something of a bore." Corroborative testimony abounds. William E. Woodward, in a 1934 New Yorker Profile, allowed, "Even his pleasing talent for impersonation dazes people unless they know him well." Rebecca West, an astute and initially enthusiastic critic of his work, said that his torrent of talk "was wonderful, but after five solid hours of it I ceased to look upon him as a human being." A Minneapolis journalist, William McNally, watching Lewis paralyze local society with "impersonations that went on for hours," concluded, "He cannot travel other than 'on high' and has no brakes." In the aftermath of "Babbitt" he continually talked Babbittese, and when his second wife, the long-suffering Dorothy Thompson, was ushering him, straitjacketed, into an ambulance during an attack of the DTs, he forestalled her reproaches by expertly mimicking her: "You've ruined your life, you're ruining mine! You've ruined your sons, you miserable creature. You're sick, sick." Mimicry is, of course, a way of avoiding conversation, of drowning out interchange. Lewis, Lingeman says, "had a phobia about being alone," but he contrived to be alone when surrounded by people, deafened by his own "endlessly narratory" voice. One of the few friends who stayed the route with him, Carl Van Doren, said, "What Red doesn't realize is that in order to have friends, one must be willing to suffer a little boredom, and Red has never learned that, and he has almost no friends left." His personal qualities carried into the fiction: it tends to be, aside from some of its well-felt domestic moments, loud and blatant, more performance than shared experience. Everything illustrates the point. George Babbitt reads the newspaper, with comments to his wife: "Lots of news. Terrible big tornado in the South. Hard luck, all right. But this, say, this is corking! Beginning of the end for those fellows! New York Assembly has passed some bills that ought to completely outlaw the socialists! And there's an elevator-runners' strike in New York and a lot of college boys are taking their places. That's the stuff! And a mass-meeting in Birmingham's demanded that this Mick agitator, this fellow De Valera, be deported. Dead right, by golly! All these agitators paid with German gold anyway. And we got no business interfering with the Irish or any other foreign government. Keep our hands strictly off. And there's another well-authenticated rumor from Russia that Lenin is dead. That's fine. It's beyond me why we don't just step in there and kick those Bolshevik cusses out." Further, his satire, as more politically committed critics pointed out, ends up in a kind of hopeless surrender to the values satirized. No wonder he could never make headway on the big labor novel that he contemplated for decades; his sympathies were thoroughly bourgeois, and his knowingness had to do with the maneuvers whereby the bourgeoisie regroups after a setback and carries on. His novels have happy endings, and when something tragic happened to him, like the death of his elder son, Wells, in the Second World War, he turned from it. The boy, the product of Lewis's marriage to Grace Hegger, was better than his disrupted upbringing warranted—a graduate of Harvard magna cum laude, the promising author of a novel, and such a spit-and-polish aide-de-camp that a German sniper may have shot him under the impression that Wells himself was the general whom he was accompanying in a jeep in Italy. Lewis's reaction was to rebuff expressions of sympathy and treat the grieving mother with what she called an "abominable" coolness. And yet the single photograph in the bedroom of his Duluth mansion was of Wells. When all complaints about Lewis's rude, skittish, impossible social behavior are registered, there remained something good-hearted about him, as we can read in "First Job," Hersey's account of his pleasant summer with Lewis, a summer when Lewis was not drinking. In a more bluntly rivalrous literary atmosphere than obtains now, he was generous in praise of other writers, even those who, like Dreiser and Hemingway, quarrelled with him. His yen to perform in the theatre and the lecture hall had its self-abnegating, modest side, and there was a generosity, too, in the topics he chose to address, with his ebbing novelistic powers, after the war: feminist issues in "Cass Timberlane" (1945) and "World So Wide" (1951), racism in "Kingsblood Royal" (1947), a melodramatic, slashing book that blacks liked more than whites. Paul Robeson's wife, Eslanda, wrote him that "it is a beautiful job, and one which Negroes could not have done, because it just isn't our side of the medal." Main Street and Babbitt became glib tags only after he had exercised the social vision to uncover and name them. John O'Hara said, "All the other novelists and journalists and Babbitt himself were equally blind to Babbitt and Zenith and the United States of America until 1922." Who in the last century more manfully and systematically attempted to fill the demand, in recent times voiced by Tom Wolfe and Jonathan Franzen, that American novelists cast off solipsism and introverted delicacy and embrace the nation as it exists, in its striving variety and dynamism? Sauk Centre now holds a Sinclair Lewis Avenue, and boasts on signs of being "The Original Main Street"—it has enlisted Lewis in the boosterism that he mocked. The town is the occasional site of the annual meeting of the Sinclair Lewis Society, which issues, Lingeman says in his acknowledgments, a "lively newsletter." I have scanned Lingeman's seventy pages of notes and seven pages of bibliography hoping to snag my eyes on publications since 1961 that might urge an updating of Schorer's biography, and noticed few. In these forty years, a new sexual frankness is permitted, if not compulsory, in biography, and Schorer's explanation of why Michael Lewis, Sinclair's younger son, was forty-five minutes late for dinner with his father in Rome—"He had been enjoying Rome during the afternoon and arrived about forty-five minutes late"—can be, with a puzzling change of meal, amplified by Lingeman to: "When Michael Lewis arrived at Christmastime, he committed the faux pas of spending the night with a prostitute he picked up on Via Veneto. This escapade caused him to arrive late for Lewis's rigidly planned lunch." Sexual specifics that Thompson confided by letter to Schorer's discretion can now be broadcast: She summed up Lewis's problem as premature ejaculation due to nervousness: "He could be tender, playful, delightful with women except in the sexual relationship." She told Schorer that Lewis would "fuck her quick and then abuse her verbally." Later, Lewis's inadequacies as a lover would drive Dorothy to others for affection. As she told Schorer: "All his wives, even when they stuck to him, had affairs." Well, who ever said that alcoholic mooncalves made great lovers? As for his "alcoholism," the word has taken on, thanks to the helpful credo of Alcoholics Anonymous, the dignity of a disease, whose victims are mired beyond their own will power. But Lewis could quit, when he wanted to, and the fact that he didn't want to more often suggests a character trait, not a physiological one. The invaluable Thompson (always marry a writer if you want your underside in black and white) recorded in her diary a night when instead of taking her to a full-dress ball as he had promised he called up, said "I'm shot . . . Come here, darling," passed out in her arms, and woke up enough to make love and buy sausages, in that order, while the "alcohol odor oozing from his pores was 'like rank weeds.' " Next morning, shaky but articulate, he explained that he knew he must choose between spirits and her and he could not give up spirits. From her diary: "A man takes a drink," he said, "the drink takes another, and the drink takes the man. And it's got me. I don't know how it began. It was my father & Gracie. They both hated me—and you will hate me too. I am a rotter, but I won't go like Verlaine—like Oscar Wilde. I'll take care not to get that far." He did get that far, but, dying at the age of sixty-five, took longer than it took Verlaine and Wilde, and longer than his fellow Midwestern topers Scott Fitzgerald and Ring Lardner. He shared with Thompson that night a no win/no lose formulation which left room for doing his work but not any for family life or what Freud called normal human unhappiness. His frenetic activity—all those books, all those addresses, all those binges—seems in the retelling one long escape, an anesthetic administered to a peculiarly American pain, just before the last screw of his talent could be turned. Rebecca West sagely complained as early as 1927, "If he would sit still so that life could make any deep impression on him, if he would attach himself to the human tradition by occasionally reading a book which would set him a standard of profundity, he could give his genius a chance." It is the conflicting fate of an American artist to long for profundity while suspecting that, most profoundly, none exists; all is surface, and rather flimsy surface at that. Lewis admired Thoreau, and made fitful retreats into the North American wilderness to regroup his resources, only to fill the tent with the fumes of Scotch and the rattle of his impersonations. Three quotations from Lewis come to mind as epitaphs, two of them cited by Lingeman: "I love America, but I don't like it," and "Everyone ought to have a home to get away from." The third is reported by Schorer, who has the everlasting advantage over his successor biographers of having entered the field when it still held living witnesses: "Once, to the Leonard Bacons, whose very nuzzling dog was giving him a good deal of attention, Lewis said, 'I'm just like this dog. All I want is affection.' " Affection may be what he wanted, but attention is what he got. ♦ John Updike contributed fiction, poetry, essays, and criticism to The New Yorker for a half century.

Nevertheless, studies have shown that roadway congestion continues to get worse. For example, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) conducts an Annual Mobility Study that includes estimates of traffic congestion in many large cities and the impact on society (Schrank and Lomax, 2005). The study defines congestion as "slow speeds caused by heavy traffic and/or narrow roadways due to construction, incidents, or too few lanes for the demand." Because traffic volume has increased faster than road capacity, congestion has gotten progressively worse, despite the push toward alternative modes of transportation, new technologies, innovative land-use patterns, and demand-management techniques.
Some of the major concerns raised by roadway congestion are impacts on energy consumption and air quality. The TTI Annual Mobility Study estimates that billions of gallons of fuel are wasted every year because of congestion (Schrank and Lomax, 2005). In addition, heavy congestion often leads to greater mobile-source emissions. One way to estimate the energy and emissions impacts of congestion is to examine velocity patterns of vehicles operating under different levels of congestion. Roadway congestion is often categorized by the "level of service" (LOS) (TRB, 1994). For freeways (i.e., uninterrupted flow), LOS can be represented as a ratio of traffic flow to roadway capacity. There are several different LOS values that are represented by the letters A through F. For each LOS, a typical vehicle-velocity trajectory will have different characteristics.
Examples of these velocity trajectories are shown in Figure 1 (EPA, 1997). Under LOS A, vehicles typically travel near the highway's free-flow speed, with few acceleration/deceleration perturbations. As LOS conditions get progressively worse (i.e., LOS B, C, D, E, and F), vehicles travel at lower average speeds with more acceleration/deceleration events. For each representative vehicle-velocity trajectory (such as those shown in Figure 1), it is possible to estimate both fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. For automobiles, we are most often concerned about emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HCs), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and particulate matter.
Figure 2 shows examples of automobile fuel consumption and emission rates that correspond to the average speeds of the representative velocity trajectories shown in Figure 1. Fuel consumption and emission rates are normalized by distance traveled, given in units of grams per unit mile. As expected, when speeds are very low, vehicles do not travel very far; therefore, grams per mile emission rates are quite high. In fact, when a car is not moving, we get an infinite-distance normalized emission rate. Conversely, when vehicles travel at higher speeds, they experience higher engine load requirements and, therefore, have higher fuel consumption and emission rates. As a result, this type of speed-based emission-factor curve has a distinctive parabolic shape, with high emission rates on both ends and a minimum rate at moderate speeds of around 45 to 50 mph.
Figure 2 shows a fuel-consumption and emissions curve for a vehicle (an average "composite" vehicle representing the 2005 vehicle fleet in southern Cali-

"A man lies dying in a hospital bed. He has spent his entire life building for the future, doing what needed to be done to amass wealth and raise his status to a level he thought worthy. Now he has reached the end of his days and finds himself filled with remorse rather than satisfaction. In his final moments, he turns to his doctor and says, 'I spent my whole life stepping on people in order to get to where I want to be, and now there's no one left for me. It's only now that I realize it's so simple. It's who you love and how you love and the rest of it, the rest of it never mattered.' That is a powerful lesson, yet he has little time left to make use of it.
He came to clarity at the end of his life; what if you could get this clarity now?"
