New Music: Flatbush Zombies Feat. A$AP Twelvyy "Half-Time"Posted by Andy B. under New Music
1 Comment
While the wait continues for their new project It's All a Matter of Perspective (don't sleep on last year's Clockwork Indigo EP with The Underachievers, though), Flatbush Zombies resume their "Day of the Dead" series with this new freebie called "Half-Time." Fellow New Yorker A$AP Twelvyy proves why he's A$AP Mob's most underrated spitter with the opening verse before giving way to Meechy Darko and Erick Arc Elliott, who also provided the twinkling boom bap backdrop.

Modern marketing is built around creating a cohesive brand identity, building a consistency of character around a company, and its products and services, that make it trustworthy and distinguishable from its completion. It has become essential that a company has a story to tell. That story can't be just about what the company makes or does; it must be broader more humanizing, something to soften the perception of salesmanship and relate to people on a level they are more comfortable engaging.
Narrative surrounds people in our current culture. Content of all types is given an overarching story to engage people. This has and continues to be overwhelmingly evident in entertainment, in TV especially, where we expect the writers to carry us on an arching journey showing us complex people and meaningful change. It applies to the news industry, where facts get molded (rightly or not) to fit together to create a digestible narrative for readers. And, in PR and marketing all large brands create a story, not only for their products and services, but also as a narrative to position the Company in the best light as if they are a protagonist striving and achieving to obtain some noble goal for us all.
We are in the age of Story. In Bob McKee's aptly titled Story he writes, "Story is not only our most prolific art form but rivals all activities— work, play, eating, exercise— for our waking hours. We tell and take in stories as much as we sleep— and even then, we dream. Why? Why is so much of our life spent inside stories? Because, […] stories are equipment for living."
Obviously, this quote is more applicable to the more artistic mediums of storytelling (novels, films, theater, television), but I do think it lends an interesting insight into the core of this narrative marketing as well. It means that a marketer must understand that the story they tell about their client's company, its products and services, has to fit in with that idea of 'equipment for living.' How will what they do impact people's lives? How will getting them to buy the product make life better in some way? In the marketplace people don't buy goods and services per se, they purchase the expectation of a benefit to themselves. So, when crafting a marketing message, this should be a prism through which your ideas can flow and refract: Am I building a narrative where my product or services are going to make a difference for the consumer? Let this true north guide you to your story.

Pairing: Ian Watkins/Sean Smith
POV: Sean
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Asphixiation, makeshift bondage
Notes: For clandestinemess I really hope you like this < 3
"Where is it?" I growled, walking around the stage as the others were setting up for the day's pre-show soundcheck.
"Where's what?" Snoz was the one to speak up, from his position seated behind the drums. He twisted one of his drumsticks in his fingers absently, studying me intently. I was glad it wasn't one of the others, especially Rhys. He'd have made some perverted comment.
"My mic." I replied simply. I liked using it. It was like Bob using his own guitar, or Snoz using his own drumsticks. It was mine and I didn't want anyone fucking with it.
"I dunno." Snoz shruggged and tapped his drums experimentally.
"I do." Bob said from behind me gruffly. "Ian had it."
I growled and, not bothering to thank Bob, went to find Ian. This may be Lostprophets tour but that didn't give him the right to touch my shit. He could be such a twat sometimes.
I found out from Lee that he was on the bus after searching the venue for him. I was ready to let him have it, striding to the bus, ready to smack him until he gave it up. What I wasn't prepared for was walking in on Ian wanking. He was in the back of the bus, completely naked. His dick was in one hand, my distinctive mic in the other, the cord of it around his neck. I remembered a talk Rhys had given us about this kinda thing, not to do it alone and whatever shit. Clearly Ian hadn't gotten such a thing from Jamie or whoever was the kinky one in the band.
"What the hell do you think you're doing with my mic?" He looked at me, blinked and stuttered, letting go of his grip on the mic so the cord became slack.
"Don't. Mess. With. My. Mic." With each word I took a step closer, stalking over to him. I grabbed the mic, pulling it slightly so it tightened around his neck, but I only did that for a few seconds before letting it go slack. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes wide. I could tell he was this close to begging for more. I knew him well enough for that. "On your knees and I'll give you what you want."
Ian did as he was told and I admired the older man for a moment. He was pretty, with his dark hair all messed up and his tatts looking all so pretty and dark. Especially the guns. Everyone got turned on by the guns.
"Hands behind you." He did as I told him and I used the other end of the bright blue cord to bind his wrists together. Once I'd done that I licked my lips and stroked the inked skin of his arm. I noticed now he had something up his ass. Not an actual sex toy, but a drumstick. I wondered whose it was, but decided not to care. My mic was the issue at hand. "You're such an idiot Watkins. A hot one, but an idiot nonetheless." Later, I'd get Rhys over here to give him the talk. He was always willing to give anyone a talk about kink. He had props. And fingerpuppets. I growled and took my dick out of my jeans, moving around until it was level with his face. "This'll be the only lube you're getting." He whimpered and nodded, leaning forward to lick along my shaft. If there was one thing Ian was good at it was sucking cock. I'd say it was his number one skill while singing was down there at about four or five.
I moaned softly, his tongue lapping at me as he took my head into his mouth. He felt so fucking amazing. Thankfully his skills weren't wasted. Blow jobs weren't like riding a bike, it wasn't a skill that would stay with you. Without practise you'd lose it. I knew that he never would thanks to his band. And anyone that came within five feet of him with a dick. He probably had some sort of chart somewhere to keep track.
"That's enough." I groaned softly as I pulled back, smirking as he whimpered. "Calm down slut. You're getting it again soon." I shifted behind him and snatched my mic from him, using my other hand to pull out the drumstick and drop it on the table. "If it gets too much give me the finger." He nodded slightly before pushing into him.
Ian wasn't a virgin, in fact he was far from it, so I was soon thrusting away at full force within him. It took a few thrusts before I was comfortable enough to pull on the mic, tightening the cord around his neck. I heard him groan as he started to choke from it and I thrusted twice inside him before making the cord slack again.
"More... please." I smirked, then pulled it tight again. "Ugh..."
I let out a groan of my own, his already tight arse squeezing even more from the lack of air. "Fuck..." I let the cord go again after three thrusts this time, knowing if I didn't I'd probably no want to let go until I'd came. He took a few a few deep breaths, pushing back against me like te needy slut he was.
"Next... next time I do it you cum. Understand?" He nodded and I pulled again, slamming my hips against his arse. It didn't take long for him to shoot, mere seconds after the cord had tightened around him. I guessed it was for the best he had. I let it go, pounding into him hard as I leaned close kissing the neck above the cord. "Mmmm good boy." He whimpered and tilted his head to one side, his breathing still ragged. I groaned his name against his skin, sinking my teeth into him to mark him as my own, my movements just quick jerks of my hips now. I came deep inside him the second I tasted his blood.
I pulled out after riding it out, unravelling the mic cord from round his wrists and throat. "Never ever touch my mic again you understand?"
"Yes Sean... thank you." I smirked and nodded, tucking my cock in and zipping myself up quickly. Normally I'd have stayed, helped him clean up but I decided not to this time. His punishment for using my mic.
"Clean up. I'll see you later." I turned and left him there, still on his knees, covered in his own cum. Absently I swung the mic around as I walked the short distance from the bus to the stage. I'd have to do it to one of the others before this tour was over. Maybe Gavin.

Russian representative suggests methadone and heroin are the same narcotic drug as outside experts condemn countrys take on treatment
As international leaders debated global drug law at the United Nations, a bizarre panel on heroin treatment showed just how divided countries are over how to treat addicts.
The panel, sponsored by the Russian Federation, began with an international group of scientists and diplomats explaining the importance of evidence-based drug treatment, before a Russian doctor veered into addiction science denialism.
We prefer to treat people in a drug-free setting, Dr Oxana Guseva, a medical representative of the Russian Federation, told the Guardian afterward, because methadone is the same narcotic drug as heroin.
In Russia, heroin addicts are given cold turkey detoxification treatment using the medication Naltrexone, which blocks opioid receptors in the brain. Typically, this medication is used to stop overdoses.
Then, Guseva said, Russian addicts are given social therapy and education as a substitute for conventional opioid replacement therapies, such as methadone clinics, which are common in the United States.
While part of the doctors statement is true methadone and heroin are both narcotic pain treatments addiction treatment that uses methadone in place of other opioids is delivered to the body in a much different way.
First, methadone clinics provide oral doses, meaning that the body processes the drug more slowly than intravenous heroin. That removes one of the most addictive characteristics of heroin the rush. Methadone also stays in the body for a longer period of time. Heroin and opioid painkillers such as Oxycontin last hours, but methadone can have effects for days.
Treatment that uses drugs such as methadone, called replacement therapies, prevent former addicts from going through painful withdrawals. But they also address a disturbing aspect of addiction how it changes the brains physiology long-term to accommodate neural pathways for craving and compulsive drug-seeking.
Americas top addiction expert, Dr Nora Volkow, director of the National Institutes of Health on Drug Abuse, disputed the Russian doctors assertions.
The data is showing after chronic treatment, some of these patients [addicted to opiates] are able to slowly taper off this medication, Volkow, referring to therapies such as methadone. However, she said, the reality is that in some instances we just cannot achieve [full sobriety] and its not any different than someone who has diabetes.
Is it that we are substituting and making [diabetics] dependent on insulin? she asked rhetorically. Perhaps we could say that, but we could also say its a way for them to have a perfectly normal life.
The panel was part of the first UN summit on drug law in 18 years, known as Ungass, or the United Nations General Assembly Special Session.
The three-day summit was meant to address the global drug problem and include debate on how international authorities should move treaties forward to address drug abuse as a public health issue. However, most debate on the agreement adopted took place in Vienna in March, without a majority of member states, and the outcome document, as the agreement is known, was adopted immediately after the session opened.
The documents immediate adoption laid bare just how divided the international community is on the issue of drug abuse. Indonesia called the death penalty an important component of the countrys drug control policy, while liberal states such as Uruguay, Colombia and Norway expressed dismay that the UN failed to condemn such executions.
Norway intends to be a clear voice for a more progressive approach, the nations delegate told the General Assembly on Tuesday.
Its too ironic for Russia to be the sponsor of the event, said Daniel Wolfe, director of the International Harm Reduction Program for the Open Society Foundations. Theyre the world leader in denying the science.
Russian drug treatment methods were recently tested in Crimea, after the country annexed the former Ukrainian region.
Around 800 former heroin addicts there were cut off from replacement therapy, roughly 100 of whom have died, according to advocacy groups and the UNs special envoy Michel Kazatchkine.
Many have blamed Russias ban on treatment such as methadone and lack of clean syringe programs for an uptick in new HIV infections even as infection rates in other areas of Europe fall.
Its really stupid, said Pavlo Skala, associate director for the Alliance for Public Health, a Kiev-based organization, who attended the event on Wednesday. Its not scientific, as [with] everything related to treatment in Russia.

As if you needed another reason to hate LA
How arrogant are the Lakers? Thanks for asking.
So arrogant that they feel free to change the lyrics of the national anthem.
Now, fans cheer different parts of the anthem for partisan reasons all over. In Baltimore, they cheer the "Oh" in "Oh, say" because of the Orioles. In Houston , they cheer the rockets' red glare because of the Rockets. But in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, singer and actor Tyrese Gibson changed "our flag was still there" to "our Lakers were still there."

While I was in Barcelona to attend the Barcelona Design Week, Josep Blat presented at the Foro de Movilidad de RedIRIS in Madrid the research themes and works developed with him as my PhD supervisor. RedIRIS provides highspeed Internet connectivity and other network facilities for the academia in Spain. On their invitation we shared some insights on the innovative exploitation of network data and their implications.
The presentation ran under the name "Networks, Sensor Networks, Human Sensors" (pdf).
Wires and their exploitation under new scrutiny
Why do I blog this: Publics institutions that make a living transporting bits also become curious on extracting value from network data. Our presentation complemented very well a day that had started with a demonstration of the use of animal digital traces in the Doñana natural park in the South West of Spain.
Thanks to Gerard Alcorlo i Bofill for the invitation!

Pink Elephant Thai Vancouver recently just opened a new restaurant at Marine Gateway – 434 S.W. Marine Drive Vancouver. Marine Gateway is such a convenient community with Cineplex Cinemas, T&T, Steve Nash Fitness World, etc. Pink Elephant Thai also has an downtown location on 1152 Alberni Street and is part of Thai House Restaurant Group.
Pink Elephant Thai has a chic pink aesthetics with a clean modern interior. It a good place to dine before/after watching a movie.
Thai Chicken Wings 9: flavors includes Chilli Basil Hot Wings and Red Curry Hot Wings. I like the Basil wings more for the crispy skin and would recommend order medium heat.
Calamari 9.50: Deep fried marinated with Thai spices. The calamari was tender but I found it batter heavy.
Thai Style Pork Cheeks 9.50: I liked these tender BBQ pork jowl. Lightly grilled and marinated with Thai herbs and spices.
Floating Market 9.50: This was an interesting appetizer. It was the first time I had deep fried spinach. Although it was greasy, it was a good vehicle to soak up the sweet spicy dip. Served with tiger prawns and cashew nuts.
Goong Ob Woon Sen 16.95: Tiger prawns with glass noodles in clay pot served with Thai spicy sauce.
Khao Soi 10.95: Northern Thai Style curry soup noodles served with a crispy noodle topping. Break it apart and mix it into the noodles for an added crunchy texture. This is a lighter curry and if you are looking for more heat you can add some chili oil.
Oxtail Matsaman Curry 15.95: One of my favorite curry at Pink Elephant Thai. The curry is creamy and simmered in coconut curry with onions, potatoes and topped with cashew nuts.
Mango Sticky Rice 8.95: you will love this when mangoes are in season! The sticky rice is cooked with pandan leaves which also leaves a green color.
Deep fried banana with mango ice cream 6.95: Everything tastes better with fried dough right? The banana is sweet and the fried batter is crunchy. I didn't like the mango ice cream much tho. It had a weird flavor that wasn't mango. The manager tells me that they were looking for a new supplier tho.

My friend Paul Senness is an internationally recognized speaker and trainer on management and leadership. He's also one of the most thoughtful people I've ever known. I asked Paul to let me interview him on how to successfully hire and manage technical staff.
How to Hire
In the IT world, there seems to be a lot of discussion about whether to hire for technical skills or for collaborative (people skills). In a nutshell, he said the most important part of the hiring process is not making an arbitrary choice to hire for tech skills or people skills. He say the most important part of the hiring process is writing a well-thought-out job description, then taking your time in the hiring process. He also said, in business, we're often quick to hire and slow to fire. Paul says we've got that backwards. He says we need to be slow to hire and quick to fire when things aren't working.
How to Manage
In managing, Paul recommends his four foundations of management: Participatory management, letting people do things their way, taking the mystery out of the workplace, and letting choices have consequences. In the interview, Paul goes into each of the foundations in detail, explaining how to implement each foundation along with examples. He also includes examples of what not to do.
Here's the interview (a transcript of the interview is directly below the video):
Don Crawley: Our guest today is Paul Senness. Paul holds an MBA in leadership and he's a retired naval aviator. He speaks to audiences worldwide on management and leadership. Paul, welcome to the Compassionate Geek.
Paul Senness: Thanks, Don. Great to be here.
DC: In IT today, there's a lot of discussion, I don't want to say controversy necessarily, but there seems to be a lot of discussion about whether you hire somebody for technical skills or collaborative skills or because they're a good cultural fit. How do you reconcile all three categories?
PS: Yes. I think in the final analysis, you need something of all of that, but primarily you need the technical skill set. If they don't have the technical skill set, they're not going to be qualified to take the position. So I think we start with a strong technical skill set. How do you find out about that? That of course is an issue and then as the interview process goes along for the hiring, then you can start checking for team work, collaboration, cultural fit and those kinds of things. But out of the shoot, people have to have strong technical skills if they're going to work in the IT industry, considering how competitive it is today.
DC: It's much like any other field. If you're a doctor, you have to have good medical skills. If you're an aircraft mechanic, you have to have good aircraft mechanical skills, whatever the job is, you have to have a bare minimum of those technical skills before you can even be considered for the job.
PS: Sure and we've probably all seen television programs where somebody had great technical skills and just didn't get along well with each other and that caused a lot of tension in the show and kept you interested. I would agree with what you're saying is that, yes, there's a big discussion about it but first and foremost, people need that technical skill set to work in whatever their environment is.
DC: So, in the case of IT, you have to be a good coder, you have to be a good router administrator, a good server administrator, a good help-desk technician or a good DBA, whatever the job is before you can move to the next part of the qualification process.
PS: Right. I would call that technical skill set or hard skills. Can they solve the problem? Can they do the actual work?
DC: And that then would leave us to the next question which is how do you screen effectively for technical skills?
PS: Yes, it's really interesting. I read a lot about this, I've talked to people about this, a number of organizations, whatever the job is, tend to do phone interview with the candidate and they ask those kinds of questions and the process is different from person to person and somehow it needs to be kind of normalized so everybody has the same issues to deal within that. Some people don't interview well on the phone, some people do and so, we make a decision on who we're going to bring in for that interview, sometimes based on a bias of how much we like talking to them on the phone.
DC: Right.
PS: And recently, I read, particularly for the tech industry that this one organization gives the potential candidate very complex problem to solve that they can solve on their own at home and then they do a phone interview about how did you reach your conclusions, how did you do this and they get a much better feel for, "Are they good with the technical side and now worth bringing in for another type of interview." We could look at those other issues.
DC: So, you would start with trying to solve a technical problem.
PS: Exactly.
DC: And then if they're able to do that, then you start looking for the other…
PS: Right. I think the way to look at this might be and I think Google does this is that the technical skill set gets you in the door but it's the actual interview that will get you the job. In other words, can you collaborate with people, if that needs to be a part of the job, collaboration.
DC: And there may be some jobs where collaboration is not a part of their job description.
PS: Certainly. I mean, somebody — if all they're going to be doing is independent code writing, for example, in what you're using, they're never going to interface with anybody except themselves, they're going to hand the product out, well, then, maybe that cultural fit or collaborative skill set isn't as important as rock solid technical skill set.
DC: What I hear you saying is when we paint with broad strokes, we often make mistakes in terms of how we decide to hire someone or how we decide not to hire someone, that you have to really look at very closely, at the job description.
PS: Exactly. And for me, that's where it all starts. What's the business about, what is it trying to accomplish? And from that, then you start to describe what are the kinds of job requirements that we have? So, this job is going to be doing these things, for example, a coder, what are they going to be coding in? So we start with that, I need somebody to be a DBA, I need somebody to do this so we start putting those different team positions if you will together in job descriptions and within the job description, then we're very careful about writing what are the responsibilities and duties of that job and from that, we can start taking a look at what are the requirements to do that kind of work so what are the skill sets, if you will that are required to do that job and then from there, we can ask the kinds of questions, we can craft the questions. I think, too often what we do is we bring people in for interview, we like you, we ask questions, we get good answers and we end up hiring somebody. And so we end up hiring fast and firing slow instead of hiring slow and firing fast, getting rid of the people who don't fit.
DC: It seems to me, from what you just said, that we are asking the wrong question. When we ask the question about which is more important, cultural fit, collaborative skills or technical skills, that really what we need to be asking is what is the job description.
PS: What is the job supposed to do and then go look for that rather than, how do we make this person fit once we get them.
DC: What is it that we're looking to accomplish with this hire?
PS: Right. And just to give you an example, so when we start talking about when they come in for an interview, yes, you certainly are going to look at some of those technical skill sets and ask those hard questions but also, what about teamwork? What about cultural fit, what about collaboration? How do you ask those and those are soft skills — I'm going to call them soft skills and they're a lot harder to ask questions about. For example, in classes I've done before, I've asked the managers there, how many of you want your new candidate to show initiative? And of course, they're all interested in having the candidate show initiative. We all want employees like that. And I say, okay, describe it to me. What does it look like in your workplace?
DC: Yes.
PS: And I just get this kind of blank stare back. I say, well, if you can't tell me what it looks like, how can you ask a question to find out what it's all about? So, I know that you teach customer service, that's great. I want people with great customer service skills, what does that mean? What does it look like and then how do I ask a question to find out if they have that skill?
DC: How do you quantify quality?
PS: Yes, that really does become a gut feel. And I think it will, in part, come from getting a stronger sense of confidence in the candidate's answer and that's going to come from the type of questions that we ask. My experience is we ask way too many yes-no questions and the problem with the yes-no question is people will tell you what they know you want to hear. Or we'll ask a question that has a future open-ended question, that has a future orientation. For example, say you're faced with this coding situation, how would you go about handling? Well, again, they get to live out of their imagination and tell you what you want to hear. If I ask a question though like this, tell me about a time when you had to code for this problem and they have to give me the experience. Or tell me how you dealt with a belligerent customer. Then they have to tell me a story about something that's in their past and history, their history is perhaps the best predictor of their future. So past behavior, past performance is the best predictor of future performance or future behavior.
DC: Unlike the Stock Market.
PS: Right. And it's not rock solid, but digging into the history has a much higher potential that you'll get the right person than just asking made-up questions about the future.
DC: We've talked about when it might be appropriate to ignore everything other than technical skills. The example you gave was the coder who's just going to be assigned to create code to do an application, for example.
PS: Right.
DC: Are there times where it is appropriate to ignore technical skills when hiring for a technical position?
PS: Sure, maybe if I have somebody who has a minimal understanding of coding and their job is to run the team and be their coach because quite frankly, high end coaching of all kinds of different people and skill sets is a different animal than actually doing the work. I think maybe the best example of that is the head coach of a professional sports team. And probably the most varied one would be professional football where they have so many different positions but certainly, the head coach hasn't played every one of those positions and have expertise in every one of them.
It's not his or her job to do that, it's his or her job to bring the whole team together. Yes, they have a lot of coaching staff in the background that are working on those special skill sets but I could see where that could happen where somebody might not have the technical skill set, but they have the gift of bringing the team together to get the task done.
DC: So, let's move from the hiring process now to the managing process. So you've made your hiring decisions. You've hired the highly skilled technical people, again, a coder, a DBA, a network administrator, network infrastructure manager, help-desk technician, whatever the job is. And what are some of the biggest pitfalls that you see in managing highly technical people?
PS: Well, I think I see the same pitfalls in managing almost any group of people and that is not treating people as people, not treating them as part of the process. I'm fairly strong on this. I have kind of four foundations about managing teams or managing people. And the first one is participatory management.
PS: That means I want people, I want input from everybody around me about how to get things done. In other words, I'm not going to stand up there or sit and say that I'm the smartest person in the room and I know more about this than anybody else. The example we just gave you, I might be coaching a team because that's a skill set that I have and I don't have a clue about how they code. Maybe I don't need to do that. So, I need their participation on how we get things done. And the people who are closest to the work that's being done in general have the best ideas about what needs to be done to make it right, to fix it. So that's the first thing; participatory management. The second thing is to let people do things their way. I think we would all agree that happy hands are productive hands and when people get to do things their way, they get job satisfaction.
DC: Doesn't that kind of fly in the face of traditional management where I'm going to dictate how I want things done?
PS: Certainly and I think that that maybe worked 30 years ago, at least it appeared to work 30 years ago. I don't think it works today.
DC: And maybe it didn't even work 30 years ago but it's still a set.
PS: People did it because they were told to and that was just the culture.
DC: My way or the highway. Yes, okay, all right.
PS: And I don't know if that's business culture so much anymore today. Now, this "let them do it their way" certainly comes with a caveat. People have to stay within the bounds of policy, procedure, ethics and law. Inside of that though, quite frankly, if it doesn't make any difference how I do my work and you do your work if we're doing the same thing, we get the same result at the same time, you're happy doing it your way, you're happy doing it my way. Now, back to the example we've been using, (it's getting thin pretty fast here) and that's coding. You and I should probably learn how to code the same way. There ought to be a standard for that so that I don't write one way and then you have to pick it up and run with it if you're not familiar with it.
DC: Sure.
PS: So, participatory management, let them do it their way. The third one is take the mystery out of the workplace and there's a lot of mystery in the workplace, every workplace. For example, if I said to you, Don, tell me how you do something procedurally like for example, when you put a book together or a workshop or something. And I stop you and say, okay, why do you do it that way? Would your answer be, well, that's the way I've always done it?
DC: Oh gosh, I hope not but I know where you're going with this one.
PS: Yes so, and I hear that a lot. Well, that's the way we've always done it. Well, if that's the way you've done it, there's a mystery. And that doesn't mean we're not doing it the right way or the best way. It's just that we've forgotten about why we're doing it the way we're doing it and it might be time to go back and challenge that process and see if we're doing it the right way or the best way, the most effective way. So, that's number three. Take the mystery out of the workplace and then the fourth one is choices have consequences. Explain them.
DC: Yes.
PS: And that takes — if you're a manager, that takes you out of being the bad person and keeps the other person from becoming a victim because they can no longer say, well, you made me do it that way. No, we talked about you doing it this way, we talked about you doing it that way, and the consequences of each, you chose to do it that way, I'm going to invoke the consequences. Now, this doesn't mean punishment or stuff like that. It just means that, well, how many with our kids have said, you better do this or else. They didn't do it and there was no "or else."
DC: Yes and so what do you do?
PS: And what they learned from it is they can do anything they want. So, I know that that's more the punitive side of it but the fact of the matter is, if you come to work on time, we'll continue to pay you. If you don't come to work on time, we may not continue to pay you. Then it's their choice. And it takes us out of being like a dictator and an authoritarian, they get to be a part of the process and I think that's a really big deal is that people today want work that's interesting, interesting to them.
DC: Right.
PS: They want recognition and support for doing that work and that means making deposits into the bank account with them that they're valued, not just giving with paycheck and not just talking when things go wrong and then the third thing is they want to be in on how things get done, they want to participate.
DC: It reminds me of the Foster Cline and Jim Fay idea about raising kids. They talk about parenting with love and logic and one of the things they say is give the kids lots of choices and let the consequences be natural consequences that do the teaching. Is that what you're saying?
PS: Well, certainly and I think if we went back to Steven Covey, he would say there are two kinds of consequences, there's social consequences and there's natural consequences. An example of a social consequence would be if you don't show up to class, you're going to get an F. The natural consequence is you're going to miss the learning. It's the natural consequences that I think that are probably more important but in fact, the social consequences have to come into play also.
DC: So, if we were going to summarize this conversation. We would talk about hiring based on the job description.
PS: Right.
DC: And looking at that, more than making some arbitrary decision about we hire for cultural fit or for collaborative skills or for technical skills but instead, we hire based on the job description. We're going to take a look at that job description and understand that thoroughly.
PS: Even more thoroughly than we probably do now. Yes, because like so much in life, it's not cookie-cutter. You may have a team, a small group of people who are coding and they're a team and they need a different set of collaborative skills than somebody who's not working in that environment and so it really does have to be specific to the job and specific to the organization.
DC: That really looks…
PS: Too much to one size fits all and what's the easiest way to do this.
DC: Yes, what I was going to say and I totally agree with what you just said but I was going to add that this really speaks to the importance of giving a lot of deep thought to the job description.
PS: Exactly.
DC: And perhaps soliciting the input of people who are going to be working with this person in developing the job description.
PS: Right.
DC: And then from a management standpoint, we talk about your four principles. The idea of participatory management, about letting them make their own decisions about the job so that you're not micromanaging them, about choices have consequences…
PS: And taking that mystery out of the workplace.
DC: Taking the mystery out of the workplace. Is there anything else that you want to add to this conversation?
PS: I think if people get their head wrapped around those four things and it's not easy, because you now have to turn those into what does that look like in your workplace and what does that look like in your management style. I think a lot of the problems with managing people that people think they have now start to go away because you free up the inner drive and motivation that people have. And in the hiring process, I think the thing is to take time. It's curious, I wonder how many people who are watching this have hired somebody and during the interview, their top level brain was going, this is the person we've got to hire. Only six months later, they'd be asking themselves, what was I thinking about? And I would challenge them if they can think back, was their stomach kind of doing flip flops during the interview because that's an indication that the words they're hearing are not matching up with the subconscious is picking up. So, I think if we take our time and hire the right person, we'll have a lot less churn and that's a lot less stress for everybody in the workplace.
DC: It's interesting, I hear you talking about trusting your gut.
PS: Yes.
DC: And yet, that's a concept that makes a lot of people in business today really nervous. But you're not saying solely…
PS: I'm not saying trust the gut, I'm saying if your gut is jumping up and down, pay attention to it.
DC: And maybe look at other…
PS: There might be time to ask more questions, it might be time to bring this person back from another interview because something is just a little bit unsettled.
DC: Paul, thank you so much, this has been a great conversation, really appreciate you spending some time with us today. I'm Don Crawley, see you next time.

Different buddies were waiting us. Lodge owner were really funny guy. We couldn't see something. We even did not knew where are the mountains. We had black tea in the kitchen room. Immediately the weather modified and we have been in a position to see the mountains. It was like a wow second after we noticed mountains surrounding us at 360º. We took as many pictures we will. After a while again it was foggy.
Day three: Namche (acclimatization day) – Acclimatization is essential earlier than proceeding greater. So almost all trekkers make extra day in Namche. You could not really feel boring, quite we take pleasure in there are various places to go like Thame, Khunde, Syangboche, Khumjung. Khumjung is good village. Syangboche is fashionable for Mountain View, there's four star resort. We are able to walk someplace 3-four hours and return again to Namche. It is assumed that go excessive and sleep in down for acclimatization.
Among the aluminum telescoping poles the super value pointed REI Traverse Trekking Poles tipped the scales the same as the Leki Micro Stick at 17.5 ounces and the REI Traverse Shocklight is just one ounce heavier, provides a shock absorbing mechanism and is only $10 more expensive. We did think that the Leki Corklite felt a lot lighter in our fingers on lengthy treks than its 19 ounces may need lead us to imagine.
Chile's most well-known Nationwide Park offers world-class trekking amid surreal ice-clad peaks, historical forests, dazzling lakes, immense glaciers and its very own ice cap. Select from the 4-day W Trek or the longer Torres del Paine Circuit , which may take as much as 10 days. Both treks include Torres del Paine 's legendary climate – excessive-pace winds, yoyo temperatures and sideways rain.

Islamabad, Dec. 03 (TNS): President Dr. Arif Alvi has urged the Pakistani high commissioners and ambassadors to truly highlight the Kashmir dispute and the Indian oppression.
He was talking to Ambassador designate to Hungary Muhammad Aejaz who called on him in Islamabad on Tuesday.
The President said Pakistan will never condone the blatant human rights violation in Occupied Kashmir at the hands of fascist Indian regime and will always stand by its Kashmiri brethren.
Arif Alvi said Pakistan attaches great importance to its relations with Hungary and was keen to further enhance these relations both at the bilateral level as well as in the context of EU. However, he said that the current volume of bilateral trade between the two countries does not commensurate to the true potential. Therefore, there was a dire need to diversify the bilateral trade.
He further said that Pakistan offered a range of opportunities for investment, especially in energy, agriculture & food processing, and pharmaceuticals. Hence the Ambassador-designate must make all-out efforts to promote Pakistan's economic and commercial interests in Hungary and utilize existing institutional mechanisms.
Referring to the government efforts towards the promotion and development of tourism and archaeological heritage of Pakistan, he directed the ambassador-designate to encourage exchange of tourist and people-to-people contacts between the two sides. He also appreciated Hungarian government's initiative of offering 200 scholarships to Pakistani students. He emphasized that the ambassador must keep a close liaison with the Pakistani community in order to resolve their issues efficiently and efficiently.

Bonified nerd and proud. Love sci-fi, horror, fantasy and martial arts films both old and new in various forms, fan fiction, comic book based films and cartoons, old school 80s and 90s cartoons in general, fan films. Also like some anime, some comics, the TV shows Supernatural, Smallville, Buffy, Angel, Werewolf, Star Trek and some pro wrestling.
Favorite genres include kaiju, zombies and vampires.
Favorite creators in film making and TV include include John Carpenter,Guillermo del Toro, Zack Snyder, Tobe Hooper, Stephen Speilberg, James Cameron, Rod Serling, Eric Kripke, Ray Harryhausen, Ishiro Honda, Eiji Tsuburaya and Robert Rodriguez.
Enjoy different kinds of music but mostly rock.
Though I have written allot of stories obviously and have enjoyed them all, my finest work IMO remains 'When Aliens Attack!' A Godzilla/kaiju eiga fan fiction like no other. Me and 10 other writers labored on this for 5 years before it was finally finished. However, it has gotten very little attention, while other stories I have written have gotten far more reviews. God knows I love the reviews that I have gotten for my other works, especially from people that I now consider friends, it is my hope now that the small but loyal fanbase I have garned may perhaps migrate to other stories I have done, with 'When Aliens Attack!' being chief among them. It is of course below with my other stories, but there is sooooo much more to the book then just what you see here on fanfiction.net. With that in mind I kindly ask you to check out our website.
The following are a couple of videos that I like.
Best Godzilla music video ever!
One of the most beautiful music videos I have ever seen for the film 'Let Me In'.

Steps you can take to lower the risk
While there are many factors associated with infant mortality, experts say there are some things you can immediately do to lower the risk. Here are three of them:
1. Provide your infant with a safe place to sleep
Sudden infant death syndrome was the second leading cause of death of Milwaukee infants from 2005 through 2008. The Milwaukee County medical examiner's office reported last year that three out of every four Milwaukee County babies who suffocated in their sleep or died of SIDS during 2007 and 2008 were sleeping with an adult or another child.
The Milwaukee Health Department recommends:
• Put your baby to sleep on his or her back.
• Babies should share a room with their parents but not a bed.
• Babies should sleep alone in cribs. Never put a baby to sleep on a couch or a chair.
• Make sure that the only item in the crib is a mattress, covered by a tight-fitting sheet. No bumper pads, blankets or toys.
• Never lay a baby down on or next to a pillow. Pillows can suffocate a child.
• Dress your baby in a one-piece sleeper to keep him or her warm in winter.
• Keep your house at a temperature that is comfortable for the whole family. The house should not be too warm.
• Never smoke in a house where an infant or child lives.
Need a crib?
The city Health Department provides Pack 'n Plays to Milwaukee families unable to purchase one. Call: (414) 286-8620.
Want to help?
Donate at city.milwaukee.gov/cribsforkids, or send a check to: Cribs for Kids Program, c/o City of Milwaukee Health Department, Frank P. Zeidler Municipal Building, 841 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202.
A gift of $100 will pay for Pack 'n Play, sleeping attire and customized education for families to help their baby sleep safely. Any contribution is welcomed.
2. Stop Smoking
The City of Milwaukee Health Department's 2010 Fetal Infant Mortality Review Report says: "Smoking cessation is one of the largest modifiable risk factors to reduce fetal and infant death." Mothers who experienced an infant death or stillbirth were 2.8 times more likely to smoke, the report says.
Need help?
Go to www.wwhf.org/pg_firstbreath.asp, or the Wisconsin Quit Line at (800) QUIT-NOW - (800) 784-8669.
3. Get tested
Sexually transmitted infections and urinary tract infections are serious risk factors for preterm births. Often there are no symptoms in women with sexually transmitted diseases. A woman may not be aware she is infected until she is already pregnant.
Need help?
Milwaukee Health Department offers free screening, treatment, counseling and referrals for sexually transmitted diseases at the Keenan Central Health Clinic, 3200 N. 36th St. For more information, go to city.milwaukee.gov/StdHIVAids444.htm, or call (414) 286-3631.

Nov 8, 2008 - Ensenada de las Muertos
Cabo San Lucas was a vast change from what we were seeing once we left San Diego over a month ago. It definitely is a destination resort city full of activities with street vendors galore. We were constantly being affronted by vendors trying to sell us silver jewelry, pottery whistles, bowls, blankets, etc. which is all part of the ambiance of this resort. We did go to Costco and picked up a few items like more trail mix, cheese and some beef plus a large box of Sugar Pops. We spent an extra day in Cabo so Cindy could get her wedding band...Jump to full entry

St. Marys is a city in Camden County, Georgia, United States. The city is the gateway to Cumberland Island National Seashore, the largest of the Georgia Coast's barrier islands, on the north bank of the St. Marys River. The state of Florida is to the south, across the river.
Sit at one of the local owned Restaurants, enjoy the local food and watch the Sunset over the beautiful Gillman Park , with the dreamy swing chairs nestled throughout the waterfront, or maybe catch the Ferry to Cumberland Island, or put your boat into one of the many public boat ramps located around the town. .
St. Marys area was first explored in the mid 16th century as part of the settlement of Spanish Florida, with nearby St. Augustine as the established capital. Settlement for Georgians became legal after the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
Local inhabitants of Camden County gathered on Cumberland Island and signed a charter for "a town on the St. Marys" on November 20, 1787.
Oak Grove Cemetery is included in the St. Marys Historic District and was laid outside the western border of St. Marys during its founding in 1787.
As you drive down the main street it is easy to see the history in some of the Historic Churches or in Orange Hall, a Greek Revival Mansion built around 1838,
The St Marys Sub Museum also holds a great wealth of history including one of the largest collections of World War II Patrol reports.
Some of the festivals that you can enjoy in St Marys are Mardi Gras in February, 4th of July with Fireworks over the water and Rock shrimp Festival in October , the downtown Tour of Homes in November and the White Lighting in December

An outstanding experience
Everything you need for your trip in High Speed
Carcassonne is a medieval fortified city in a perfect state of conservation. Its cobblestone streets dare you to walk them and discover all the remnants that make this a UNESCO World Heritage site. The best you can do is visit the wall area on foot, but Carcassonne has other places where biking is almost a must-do.
Our Renfe-SNCF in Cooperation high-speed trains take you to this city in the Occitanie region from some of the major cities in Spain. If you are travelling with children, in Carcassonne you will find interesting plans on two wheels that the little ones will love.
Carcassonne is a great destination to visit with kids. Its medieval quarters and fortress will amaze them to the point that they will feel like in one of their fairy tales. But that is not all, because, in fact, this city offers biking tours for grown-ups and kids to enjoy. Discover it by bike!
Travel the Canal du Midi by water or land
If you want to enjoy a family day on two wheels, Canal du Midi is a good starting point. It is also called "The Channel of the Two Seas," since it was a project designed to connect the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea. Nowadays, it is a beautiful path that can be travelled both by boat and by bicycle, since it has a bike path for that purpose. The route starts close to the train station and can be extended as far as your energy allows. The path that leads to Trébes is, quite simply, magnificent.
Another biking excursion in Carcassonne that is among the most popular is the one that takes you to the Saint Hilaire abbey, located a bit over 20 kilometers (12.4 mi) from the former. To do it, you need to ride parallel to the Lauquet River until you reach this old, 8th-century Benedictine abbey. The distance may be scary at first, but as soon as you go deep into the characteristic Occitan landscapes, you will see it was worth it.
Enjoy the breathtaking views of Carcassonne from its wall
The walled city of Carcassonne may not be the best place to ride a bike, though that does not mean that you can't enjoy amazing views of the city while pedaling. There are many paths in the city that guarantee an easy and smooth ride, as you enjoy beautiful vistas of its old quarters. Along the road, you can go across La Bastide Saint-Louis, as you pedal by the coastline of the Aude River. This urban biking trail will let you see Carcassonne from a different perspective. Without a doubt, an interesting way to learn about its rich heritage without the kids getting bored!
Our Renfe-SNCF in Cooperation trains connect several Spanish cities with Carcassonne. Now you can get to this, and other destinations in France at high speed. Welcome aboard!

(Review originally written at 7 August 2007)
There are tons of comedies made every year. Not too many of them are about the old west It's also not a mix that really ever works out, without becoming a spoof of the genre and use all of its formulaic elements.
The story seems to lack a clear purpose. It's hard to say what the movie is really about and were its heading to. One top of that, things just don't ever flow well in the movie. Everything seems to happen suddenly and without a reason for the rest of the story.
On its comical level its also a rather weak one. For a comedy it surely has some few real laughs. It's one of those comedies that keeps you waiting for a punch-line that just never comes. On top of that the situations in this movie just aren't humorous. Guess they thought that the movie would already be strong and funny enough by making it a buddy-flick, about an old bandit and a mute bandit-wannabe.
Paul Hogan isn't too bad in this movie, although he was clearly far too old for his role at the time. He provides the movie with its best comical moments and some good funny dialog. The Cuba Gooding Jr. character is a bit of a weird one. He's a mute who works at a store and he obviously feel that he is above the simple town-folk and then for some unexplained reasons decides to become a bandit and team-up with, the obviously incapable, bandit Lightning Jack Kane. It also makes you wonder what's the challenging thing for a character to play a mute character. Cuba Gooding Jr. really isn't a bad actors but he too often appears in such weak movies and uninteresting comical roles, that it makes you wonder why he keeps doing it. Guess that he just has fun playing in these type of movies. I'm happy that at least someone had fun. Pat Hingle is also in this movie, in a typical Pat Hingle role. Too bad that they didn't gave his character more screen time, though they potentially really could had done that.
The movie is rather good looking and it doesn't look like some cheap attempt. The costume were especially nice. The musical score on the other hand didn't seemed fitting. It's one of those simplistic scores that sound as if it was completed months before the movie finished shooting and therefor doesn't fit or add anything to the images.
Has its moments but overall a below average and totally uninteresting comedy attempt.

The Left's Clock Is Ticking On The Barack Obama Honeymoon
How long will the honeymoon last? How long will the far left of the Democratic Party continue to support President-elect Obama? My prediction? Not much longer-- look for the hard-liners to start sniping soon and fall apart within months.
Today, that most liberal of hard-left blogs, the dailykos.com, started faulting Obama for sticking up for Democratic defector Joe Lieberman:
Surprising, and very much welcome.
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), a close ally of Sen. Joe Lieberman, said the Connecticut Independent should pay a price for his campaign attacks against President-elect Barack Obama.
"There need to be consequences, and they cannot be insignificant," Carper said in a Monday interview with The Hill.
Carper, a fellow centrist who was Delaware campaign chairman for Lieberman's failed bid for president in 2004, said he and many other Senate Democrats are disappointed and even angered by their colleague's sometimes-inflammatory rhetoric during this year's presidential campaign.
A month or more ago, a high-level Congressional staffer told me Lieberman would not be barred from the Democratic caucus, nor would he lose his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee. The penalty, instead, for campaigning for Sen. John McCain during the election, would be stacking the committee with more members and more subcommittee chairmen, (as Roosevelt stacked the Supreme Court) so that Lieberman's power would be diluted in a way that would not be immediately apparent to the general public.
That won't satisfy the hard-left, which wants Lieberman booted out of the party or stripped of his powers. Personally, I don't have a dog/ideology in this fight, but find it fascinating to watch as the extremists self-destruct. Pat Buchanan once told me Republicans were great at eating their young. Democrats possess the same skills.

"The TAN will fade but the memories will remain forever"
Hello Everyone,
Hope you all are doing great 🙂 Sorry for the gap of nearly 10 days 🙂 But I know you guys will understand when I will say, I went on a holiday to none other place than GOA – Sun, Sand, Beach and Water. What else you want 🙂 Ain't it?
I visited full length of Goa starting from the South to North Goa. It is a magical place, it is exuberant. I would love to share few glimpses of my trip with you guys 🙂 We all love to chillax at the beach isn't it. This is my favorite way to chill in the middle of the afternoon. Just missing a book 🙂 Let me know where did you guys visited for holidays?
Location – Vagator Beach
I like wearing loose shirts/t-shirts and pair it with shorts or leggings at the beach, this feels comfortable at the same time saves me from the sun 😉 Hats are my another favorites during afternoons also because it gives you a very classy look. Aren't you reminded of the Kate Winslet's first look in Titanic 🙂
Location – Agonda Beach
I am pairing my outfit with this orange backpack handbag, my absolute favorite, this gives you the independence of carrying all the necessities as well as gives you enough room to do shopping on the go. I am also wearing open sandals to let my feet breathe easy:)
My another favorite location was the Sinquerim beach, it has the watch tower of Aguada fort which gives you the mesmerizing view of the Arabian sea. See for yourself…
I loved how the bangles paired perfectly with the dress, ain't it cute 🙂 Also wearing the colorful and comfortable Crocs.
My next visit was to the Fort Aguada, as I had to see the famous "Dil Chahta Hai" location 🙂 I chose to wear a loose Kurta and beaded bangles, all bought locally…
For breakfast, you must try this place in Candolim called Cafe Chocolatti, try their Amalfi green tea, its heavenly. The ambience is so peaceful you will never want to leave 🙂 I tried the masala omlette and Frugurt Muesli, it was Yummm…
Being in Goa you cannot miss partying hard, I love going to Tito's, the DJ their simply rocks:) I chose to wear flats as I knew I will be dancing all night.
Wish you all happy holidays and a very happy and prosperous new year 🙂
Adios and Take care
With Love

"Night Visitor" Painting of a Childhood Memory
Night Visitor, Regan Lee 1990
acrylic on Masonite
This is a painting I did several years ago. At that time, I was trying to paint images of beings/visitors from my childhood. The ones I tried to do of the "aliens" that floated me out the door always ended up like stick figures, with inverted triangle/oval outlines for the face, but no features. I realized the other day I've made many paintings and drawings of figures, usually female forms, with these inverted triangle/oval faces, always featureless. I seem to place them alone in a room by a window revealing a night sky.
The painting shown here is a little underexposed, but it's the only image I have right now; the painting is big and heavy (painted on a large thick piece of Masonite) and packed away somewhere. I just started painting it; I remember feeling compelled and it just all came out very quickly; this large "Night Visitor" and at the time, the full title was "Night Visitor on Sherbourne Street" (even though the name was actually Sherbourne Drive but I thought Street sounded better.) That was the house I lived in in Los Angeles between the ages of six to about fourteen, and the house where the fuzzy puppet wolves and beings that floated me out the door came.
As to this being in the painting, I never saw anything like this, but I remember the feeling. . . it's as if the image came up from my subconscious in a very vivid and strong way and represents something that has a connection to all this.
