Covering the Bases: Game 34
FIRST: So it's back to the drawing board for Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow. Or at least it's back to the original drawing board.
Morrow turned in an "embarrassing start" — six walks (five in one frame) and six runs allowed in 1 2/3 innings — against the Red Sox in a 7-6 loss on Monday night and said much of it dealt with poor mechanics.
The fact that the Jays lowered his arm slot earlier this season has been well documented. That worked beautifully from the start. One of the only issues was that Morrow felt better out of the stretch than the wind-up.
So over the past week, Morrow and pitching coach Bruce Walton tried to work on changes that would hopefully create a similar feeling out of the wind-up as from the stretch.
"It all starts, I think, with my leg kick a little bit," Morrow explained. "I was collapsing on my back side, meaning my leg was dropping and I was spinning off real bad. I was just a mess really. We're going to erase this whole week pretty much and go back to what I was doing the last four.
"We know what we were working on prior to that. We know what we worked on this last week and we know what didn't work. We're going to wipe that out and try to keep going forward."
SECOND: All hail the Bullpen Fox. After Morrow's performance, and one run allowed in 2 1/3 innings by Josh Roenicke, lefty Rommie Lewis entered for the Blue Jays and was sharp. Lewis held Boston off the board for three innings, giving Toronto's offense time to hopefully mount a comeback. The Jays fell one run short, but Lewis' effort in this one should not go unnoticed.
THIRD: The Jays nearly escaped the disastrous second inning with a 4-3 lead. As manager Cito Gaston said after the loss, though, there were a whole lot of "ifs" in this one. "If" second baseman Aaron Hill did not make the uncharacteristic throwing error he made in the second, who knows how that might have altered the course of the game.
With one out and the bases loaded, Morrow got Boston's Victor Martinez to chop a pitch to shortstop Alex Gonzalez. After gloving the ground, Gonzalez flipped it to Hill at second base (one out) and Hill fired it to first to complete the would-be double play. The throw sailed wide, two runs scored and the rest is history.
Hill also went 0-for-4, making him just 2-for-his-last-29, or 10-for-51, dating back to April 28. Gaston was quick to point out that Hill had a good seven-pitch at-bat with Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth. Down 0-2, with a foul ball to left that nearly served as a game-tying homer, before working the count full prior to a groundout.
"Hopefully he'll take that home and not the other things tonight," Gaston said of the at-bat.
HOME: The Blue Jays also lost their first home run review of the season, and the first at Fenway Park this year. In the second inning, Gonzalez belted a pitch from John Lackey over the Green Monster in left for what was ruled a double. Gaston came out to argue and the umps reviewed the hit. The ruling stood, because the ball hit the red line on the wall, according to Gaston. He was told it has to hit the green above the line to be a home run. Gaston said there were a lot of angles on the play, some where the ball appeared to hit above and others where it looked like it hit the line. "Inconclusive, I guess," Gaston said with a shrug.

Daman introduces complete redesign of its health insurance plans
The National Health Insurance Company, Daman has announced comprehensive changes to its former 'Enhanced plans' in response to market and client demands for tailor-made solutions. Previously, all plans fell into a broad 'Enhanced' category defined by geographical boundaries; now in a bid to simplify clients' experience when selecting an appropriate health insurance plan, Daman has redesigned the available options into three concise categories: Core, Enhanced and Premier.
Core is an entry-level category of plans featuring essential benefits (inpatient, outpatient, emergency and maternity coverage) with annual coverage limits up to AED 300,000.
Enhanced builds on the basics offered by the Core plans and adds second medical opinion from international experts; international medical emergency coverage; annual screening for prostate, breast and colorectal cancer. Plans under this category will have annual coverage limit between AED 500,000 and AED 5 million.
Premier features all of the above benefits plus coverage for annual medical check-ups, alternative medicine, chiropractor services, home nursing and more. The Premier plan also has the largest healthcare provider network in the UAE and internationally. The annual coverage limit for this plan is AED 5 million.
Core and Enhanced plans are sub-divided into tiers: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Chrome, which offer greater customisation and affordability for clients to tailor plans to specific needs.
Further customisation is provided by choosing from additional 'Added Benefits' and 'Cost Optimisation' options which are then added to the base plan creating unique, cost-effective solutions.
Additional benefits include coverage for dental and optical medical services, alternative medicine and annual medical check-up while cost optimisation options include choices of deductible amounts and co-insurance on pharmaceuticals. For large organisations, this offers unmatched flexibility when creating company-wide programmes.
Daman's Chairman, Khaled Al Qubaisi commented: "What sets us apart is our ability to serve 2.4 million members and manage a worldwide network of 9,600 medical providers efficiently and diligently. The revamp of our market offering presents Daman's superior services in an easy and flexible range of health insurance solutions."
Daman's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Michael Bitzer said: "Daman understands its clients' need for quality services that are custom-made to their requirements. Our new health insurance plans will further assist Daman clients in choosing the right insurance solutions."
Daman's Chief Commercial Officer, Dr. Sven Rohte commented, "We approached this complete redesign in a very strategic way. We had to select a model that allows greater customisation for our clients while being simple for our medical service providers to understand when they serve Daman members with different plans."
Dr. Rohte continued: "Daman prides itself on its excellent customer experience, and the overhaul of our plans structure underlines our dedication to offering the best solutions in the best possible manner."
For clients with existing policies there will be no name changes until renewal. Clients will still be able to renew their existing policies with the same benefits under the new names.
The Thiqa programme and Abu Dhabi Basic plan are not affected by this change.

Accenture works with clients across a broad range of industries to deliver innovative supply chain strategies that enable profitable growth in new and existing markets.
In today's volatile and increasingly digital global business environment, companies need less of a supply chain and more of a supply network—able to move quickly and flexibly and capitalize on new innovations and respond to digital disruption. Most existing supply chain strategies were built on the assumption of stability, and designed to plan, produce and deliver on a just-in-time basis to assure lean operations and inventory. Now, that hard-won stability may actually hinder a company's ability to rapidly respond to changing conditions. New technologies, such as social, mobile, analytics and cloud (SMAC), can disrupt supply chain operations—but they can also create opportunities to seize new market share, reduce costs, and gain greater supply chain control. While some organizations are trying to fend off disruption, others are finding ways to disrupt the status quo and seize competitive advantage.
Accenture Strategy's supply chain consulting services provide the experience, capabilities and insight to help clients create long-term profitability and shareholder value through developing dynamic operations and digital supply networks.
Our service offerings are truly differentiated in the marketplace because they embody all the capabilities needed to drive an end-to-end, value based approach. We know strategy, we know industries and business functions, and we know technology. When teaming with Accenture, clients have access to a dedicated core of thousands of deeply experienced and skilled resources in supply chain strategy, innovation and process consulting and technology capabilities around the globe. We work with our clients across a broad range of industries to address key business issues such as:
Accenture offers a variety of services to address all aspects of a supply chain transformation journey, which encompasses strategy, operating model, process and technology enablement:
Supply Chain Vision and Strategy: designing and translating the corporate vision into supply chain strategies to achieve high performance both in traditional supply chains and service operations
Supply Chain Operating Model: architecting a blueprint that ties closely to the supply chain vision and strategy for efficient supply chain processes and execution
Supply Chain Value Transformation and Optimization: unlocking value in supply chain processes and service operations through a transformation journey identifying the critical path to value
Control Tower Design and Value Realization: modeling a control tower which Accenture believes is essential in order to be successful in the new volatile environment
Digital Supply Chain: leveraging the opportunities of digital disruption and helping our clients transform linear supply chains into digital supply networks

The Big Bang Theory, The Classified Materials Turbulence 2009
Yesterday I talked about how the left had left opening for the right over the decades that have allowed people like Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge and Fox news drive right through, I also spoke about the irony of Charles Johnson's attack on Robert Stacy McCain starting me on the path to the following plan
60 donors x Giving $20 x 12 Months = My Paycheck
Granted this has only worked for two weeks so far but after looking at a twitter debate I've seen online yesterday and thinking about something I've been thinking about for a long time.
Certain products like (shameless plug alert) the Jerkstopper that anchors your laptop cable to an unused port so it doesn't get "jerked" out of your laptop and break the power pin work because it fills a need hitherto untouched. The same works with media. The unwillingness of the MSM to cover important stories as Powerline noted yesterday gives bloggers the ability to be the primer pushers of stories.
Consider the Daily Caller and Senator Menendez, Matthew Boyle has been on this case as the MSM totally ignored the story in favor of Marco Rubio drinking water. Last night it actually reached the point where CNN led it's 8PM with a laughable report trying to discredit the story concerning underage hookers while acknowledging corruption under the "everybody does it" meme.
Yet even this coverage in the MSM doesn't happen without conservative bloggers continuing to push this story over and over again.
And that's just one example, Think about Robert Stacy McCain on Bret Kimberlin and Lee Stranahan on Steubenville. You know these stories because they bothered to tell you them and it has cost them.
Now think of the internet as a whole. How many great conservative bloggers are out there getting you stories others have left behind. Robert Stacy McCain who has traveled the country bringing you stories. Dan Riehl who's site is a plethora of information, The Conservatory & the Minority Report, aggregate sites bringing you great conservative writing from all over the net. The Lonely Conservative reporting from NY, Jimmie Bise, Jeff Dunetz the Yid with Lid, Pam Geller, Bob Belvedere, Jerry Wilson, William Hoge, Lee Stranahan, Stacy Washington, the Chicks on the Right, Sarah Marie Brenner, Zilla, Katy's Conservative Corner, Doug Ross, Marathon Pundit, Babalu blog and so many more that I simply can't list without making this a 10,000 word post.
If you look at my field guide of bloggers the list of conservative bloggers driving liberals nuts on a daily basis is simply boundless.
If only we could fund them. The funding device to keep bloggers up and running is the small plastic piece that keeps the cardboard out of the cheese, very obvious once you have it, but someone needs to come up with it first.
I have often quoted Jimmie Bise statement concerning a conservative funding
If conservatives with money would fund places for budding journalists to get their work in front of a decent-sized audience, there would be lots of Bob Novaks, Byron Yorks, Mark Hemingways, Matthew Vadums, and Stacy McCains showing up. Running a web site isn't the hardest thing in the world to do, but it does take time. There are plenty of folks who could set up and run a site that does original reporting, but they have to have something approaching a credible budget not just to pay for the reporters but also to pay for their own time.
And Stacy McCain:
For the $4 million that the permatanned RINO Charlie Crist collected during that single three-month span of 2009, you could fund eight spiffy little New Media operations for a year (or four such operations for two years). And FEC contribution limits do not apply to people making "investments" in news operations, so that the rich Republicans would not be restricted in their generosity toward New Media, as they are toward political candidates.Soros has figured this out. Rich Republicans have not.
We've talked about this for a while and I've spoken to bloggers concerning several such idea but the problem has always been access to the type of donors that Karl Rove takes for granted for the seed money and of course there is the issue of being dependent on one or two big donors to keep things going.
and that brings us to my plan built upon the plan I'm using for myself only more dramatic:
6000 people x $20 x 12 months = An Army of Conservative Davids
My personal 60 x $20 x 12 months works out to an annual paycheck of $14,400 multiply that times 100 and suddenly you have a budget of 1.4 million dollars.
What can you fund with $1.4 Mil? Consider:
Hobby & Green Bloggers/Activists:
There are plenty of people who blog after work, maybe one post a day or the brand new bloggers just getting started. Their only costs are hosting and maybe the occasional trip. Under the formula above you could fund 400 such people at $1000 annually to cover their hosting, and perhaps a trip to an event.
Cost: $400,000
Part Time & Retired Bloggers:
They might be a housewife or house husband, working part-time. They might cover events within driving distance and state races. Perhaps they go to a national conference or three. You could fund say 100 people $5000 a year to do this.
Cost $500,000
Full time bloggers:
They will be expected to cover national events in person, flying and traveling, and posting multiple times a day with original reporting and live reports.
Right now nationally we have ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN & FOX. lets say we double those networks 12 people doing this and pay them each $35,000 a year out of which they are expected to cover at least one trip every other month.
That's $420,000.
Add those numbers up $400,000 + $500,000 + $420,000 = $1,320,000 to fund 512 bloggers. (And that still leaves $120K for overhead)
Think of that a second: 512 bloggers posting daily amplifying the conservative message, pushing conservative candidates on the local state and federal level and best of all cross promoting each other and the causes they are pushing.
And also think of the incentive structure. How many new bloggers might work very hard for the chance to turn that $1000 a year into $5000 or that $5000 a year into a $35,000 annual job (although guys it's harder work than you think).
And best of all, instead of counting on one or two big donors who might demand certain stories be covered and others not, we would be talking 6000 people all giving a total of $240 a year.
6000 people works out to 120 PER STATE. Surely we can find 120 people in each state who can spare 20 bucks a month to fund this, after all:
How much would the GOP pay for a minimum of 512 stories on the web promoting their cause?
How much would the various conservative think tanks be willing to pay for hundreds of potential promoters of their studies and their finding?
How much would YOU as a conservative be willing to pay to see this happen? Would you pay $20 a month?
And what is the left going to do? Are they going to paint a bunch of middle class folks kicking in $20 a month? Are they going to have a big expose on a guy with a parts store who gives up 2 trips to Wendy's or Burger king every month?
If 60 people kicking in $20 a
week month to give me a paycheck for a single conservative blog annoys the left, how crazy would over 500 bloggers dogging their candidates and promoting our side do.
I think it's a worthwhile idea, the problem is can I find 6000 people nationwide who agree?
Update: Stacy McCain notes why the Army of Conservative Davids/Stacy McCains is needed:
Ah, but here comes The Enforcer: Charles Pierce at Esquire attacks Vandehei and Harris from their left flank, signaling that even the mildest media dissent against Dear Leader is unacceptable. Anyone in the D.C. press corps who actually does stray from the fawning pro-Obama herd will be targeted for destruction by MSNBC, by the left blogosphere, by Media Matters and Think Progress.
It's these enforcer types — Commissars of the People's Information Bureau, as it were — who make media reform impossible. That's what Journolist was all about, and you may notice that the Washington Post hasn't exactly kicked Ezra Klein to the curb.
and at Human Events Newt talks of the innovation the GOP needs
As Reagan biographer Craig Shirley told me, "Commercial radio was a new technology in the early 1930′s and Reagan adapted to it. Talking movies were a new technology in the late 30′s and Reagan adapted to it. Network television was a new technology in the early 1950′s and Reagan adapted to it. If Reagan were alive today, he'd be tweeting."
This plan, that is innovation.
Update 2: Typo corrected "week" to "Month" in 2nd to last paragraph.
[thermometer raised=35 target=300 height =200 ]
A journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step and the journey to the $300 paycheck this week is taking baby steps as we have moved $10 closer than yesterday. Thus we are still 13 1/4 $20 hits this week away from three hundred but I'm an optimist at heart.
You can fuel that optimism with a click on the button below. After all why send the money to HBO this month when they will just use it to hit conservatives?

Have you seen this Patagonia catalog featuring Jones rider Forrest Shearer on the cover? What an insane spine line! The image is from the Italian Dolomites last February. Forrest was on a trip filming for Absinthe Films' Dopamine when photographer Dan Milner snapped the incredible shot.
We thought it was pretty rad that a splitboard accessed line scored the cover so we hit up Forrest for some thoughts about the trip and shredding the line.
Tell us about the trip:
I'd set out on a quest to put a trip together to the gnarly mountain range known as the Dolomites in northeastern Italy. A place rich with history from Italian mountaineer heroes from decades past and filled with sculpted peaks, pinnacles, and towers of rock. It's the perfect place for a shred adventure. Our crew consisted of Dan Milner, Ben Gavelda, Blair Habenicht, Eric Brandt and Luca Pandolfi. My plans were to visit spots once made famous by Tom Burt who visited there in the 90's with Standard Films. We flew into Geneva, grabbed Mr. Milner in Chamonix, shredded a day in Courmayeur, then set-off in a gypsy convoy towards the Dolomites. Rumors of good snow made the six hour journey go by quick. Now to the shot…This image was taken near the Tre Cime di Lavaredo massif. The Tre Cime zone offered insane landscapes and views. With splitboards ready for anything we set out in search of rideable lines.
How did you find this line?
We chose this area for the accessibility. The face where the photo was taken didn't take too long to get in position. The line was set in this Dr. Seuss labyrinth of rocks that were plastered with fresh snow. I was able to traverse across a ridge to get above my line and feel the snow on the way. I felt confident in the stability of the snowpack but the Dolomites are really rocky which worried me. The limestone formations are steep and narrow with little room for error if you hit a rock and tumble.
What was going through your head when you rode the line?
Riding this spine line was insane. Just being surrounded by some of the most jagged mind boggling peaks set the tone. It was a humbling experience. Looking around before I dropped into my line I imagined spending a whole season in this area, riding new lines everyday and eating delicious Italian food to fuel each journey.
With photographer and cine setup on barbie angles across the ridge, I was ready to drop. Starting off with a couple of setup turns on top of my line I confidently rode fall line putting my mind to work. You have to be 100% percent when riding technical lines like this one and even before strapping in I was focused. Mid-way through the line I had the small tree as a reference point. I knew to stay close to the tree on my riders right and away from the exposure to the left. If I stayed right, my exit would be a small cliff air into the chute if something went wrong. Right after Dan took this photo I did encounter a small section of rock. I was able to get purchase on my heel side edge and regain my composer. Taking a breathe of fresh air, I finished my line airing over the rocks and pointing it out to the bottom.
Anything else make the day unique?
We hadn't been to this zone before so we came on a hunch that this terrain and these aspects were holding the goods. I had high hopes for good riding conditions but if not, I was content taking in the views and experiencing a spot where famous climbers like Walter Bonatti and Riccardo Cassin, guys that made the mountains their life, once stood.
Are you excited about the cover shot or what?
I was ecstatic about the cover shot! Really happy they used Dan's photo and stoked and honored to be a part of the Patagonia tribe. You can also check out more shots from the trip in the Dolomites story in the Dec 2013 issue of Transworld Snowboarding and in Absinthe Films' Dopamine.
Congrats to Dan Milner on the shot! Click here to hear more about the shot from Dan.

I am so very pleased to be participating in Carrie's 30 days of Gluten Free Quick and Easy Meals. I have long been a devotee of Ginger Lemon Girl, and it feels wonderful to give something back to a blog that helped me out so much during my transition to a gluten free diet.
Now for the recipe of the day!
Blackened Catfish with Sweet Sautéed Greens
This is a dish my husband and I enjoy often. We find that the sweet sautéed greens provide a perfect counterbalance to the spicy fish. We like ours fairly spicy, but if you like less heat simply omit or tone down the amount of cayenne pepper you include in your blackened seasoning. You can also serve this with a side of leftover gluten free grains (I would recommend brown basmati rice) for a more filling meal.
On a side note: Catfish is often looked down upon as a dirty bottom-feeder, but US farm raised catfish is environmentally sustainable, healthy, tasty, and affordable. The thin fillets also cook very quickly, making catfish a perfect speedy dinner option. But, if you aren't a fan of catfish other thin fillets of white fish can be used instead.
For the fish:
1 Large (6-8oz) fish fillet for each person
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of Blackened Seasoning per fillet (see recipe below)
Olive Oil
Blackened Seasoning (enough for 3-4 servings):
¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (more if you want it hot hot hot)
1 teaspoon Oregano
½ teaspoon Thyme
1 teaspoon Paprika
½ teaspoon Chili Powder
½ teaspoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
½ teaspoon Salt
Wash the fish thoroughly, pat dry with paper towel. Drizzle the fillets lightly with olive oil; make sure they are all lightly coated. Sprinkle approximately 1 teaspoon of seasoning on each side of the filets and rub it in gently. Put the fillets in a single layer in a baking dish. Cook in an oven preheated to 500 degrees for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to 300 degrees and cook an additional 10-15 minutes until the fillets are firm and flake easily.
Carrie's Notes: I love making homemade seasonings! It's not only economical and environmentally friendly (no extra packaging to throw away), you KNOW it's gluten free and safe to eat! To make this a super quick meal, make the seasoning ahead of time, keep it in an airtight container in your pantry and it will be instantly ready for your fish during the weeknight hustle and bustle!
While the fish is baking prepare the sweet sautéed greens:
2 large handfuls of greens per person (Swiss chard, collards and spinach are all good options), cut into 1 inch strips
½ Large Sweet Onion (such as Vidalia) per person, sliced into half-moons
1 Large Garlic Clove per person, minced
1 Tablespoon of Raisins per person (optional)
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to lightly coat the pan. Add the onions to the pan and sauté until they are translucent and starting to brown slightly. Add the greens to the pan and sauté a few minutes until they are starting to wilt. Add the garlic and raisins (if using) and sauté another 2-3 minutes until the greens are very tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
I live in West Lafayette, Indiana with my husband Alfred. Although the kitchen is my favorite place to be, I spend most of my time working as a graduate student, instructor and researcher in the Political Science department at Purdue University.
In order to keep my cranky belly calm I follow a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, caffeine-free, alcohol-free, high fiber, bean-iful and veggie-riffic diet. Please visit Ashlie's blog, The Delshad Duo.
Stay tuned for Day 15 of 30 Days Gluten Free Quick & Easy Meals. Tomorrow will feature a super quick & delicious recipe from Alta Mantsch, author of Tasty Eats at Home.

The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!
Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones!
Stand by for insights so startling you will never look at the news the same way again.
NEWS BRIEF: "World Needs A Global Religion", by Joe Rogaly, written for The Financial Times, distributed by Scripps Howard News Service, and republished by the New Haven Register, January 11, 1998.
Before we get started on our article, let us examine some pertinent Scripture. In Matthew 24, Jesus gave us the many events by which all men shall know that the End of the Age is upon us. Clearly, we will be able to know the approximate "Time of Our Visitation". Listen to Jesus' Words, given after He had enunciated the major prophecies which will occur as the world gets ready for Antichrist and then goes through the Tribulation Period.
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
In The Cutting Edge Ministry, we demonstrate to you that you CAN see that the End of the Age IS truly upon us, and once you know both Bible Prophecy and the New World Order Plan, you can see the march of the End of the Age progressing in your daily news.
This editorial is one of the finest examples of the approaching "Signs of the End of the Age". One of the great themes of the Tribulation Period is that the world will have a One World Government, Economy, and Religion. [Revelation 13]
With this information as background, please read the pertinent passages of this above article very carefully. Many of the insights into human nature and our society are truly good; in fact, they are so good you might even think they came from a pastor from the pulpit.
"Christianity is a mature enterprise. It has survived for nearly 2,000 years. The question is, will it last out the next century? If it does not, it could be because it has allowed itself to be broken up into rival institutions. The lesson is clear. It must merge or bust. The same might be said of all organized religions, including Judaism ... and relative newcomers like Islam."
"... the number of people who say they have no religion has risen sharply during the past quarter-century. Everywhere, it seems, willingness to attend services is less strong than the natural human desire for faith, certainty, and rules of behavior. We all know why. The value of formal worship in public buildings is being blasted out of people's minds. The cult of the individual marches in triumph across the globe, in lock-step behind science and capitalism ... The extended family is disintegrating. People are less likely to live close to one another in coherent sub-tribal groups ... Personal advancement is our driving motive. Enterprise, competition, self-reliance are the ruling precepts ... The selfish motive is uppermost. Pirates rule." [NOTE: Emphasis mine. Don't these concepts sound like they came from a pastor from a pulpit?]
"Only a belief in the spiritual self can soften the effect of this counter-human revolution. Alas, the defenders of the spirit are divided, squabbling among themselves, sulking in their tents ... Lacking cohesion, their strength, once irresistible, is draining away. In such a situation, any prudent undertaking will try to restructure itself. The great religions must be amalgamated. A series of takeovers is required. The breakup of Christianity should be reversed. The Church of Rome should join hands with that of Constantinople. The rest -- Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists, Seventh Day Adventists -- should be coaxed in."
"True believers in God, the soul, and a hereafter, would be wise to go further. A new planetary religious confederation, the spirit of ecumenical endeavor, could match the globalization of material wealth-creation. Churches would sit alongside synagogues, mosques, temples. The great faith systems of China and Japan would meet those originating in the Middle East and India ... we need ways of rescuing religion ... Our generally shared set of beliefs determines our behavior. Capitalist predators can be good Christians, Jews, Hindus ... So can politicians, civil servants, the white coats who rule our laboratories. We all need some form of religion. Without it, we shall be reconstituted as androids."
What is so incredible about this editorial, originally written in The Financial Times, is that its wording could very well have come from a typical New Age magazine or book. In other words this is "fringe" writing now being written in the mainstream press. This generally means that the actual fulfillment is under way. While we have seen many articles in the past 3 decades promoting the One World Church, I have never seen one written in the language of the New Age, as this one was written.
This author certainly strikes all the typical themes in arguing for a One World Church:
1) Man is inherently religious
2) Religious principles "softens" man's animal instincts, making us "civilized" enough to be able to live together in a society that promotes the general welfare.
3) Religion is needed also to enable man to properly handle his material possessions, preventing our collective society from disintegrating into lawless chaos
However, in order to achieve this Utopian State, religion must get its act together. Today, religion is hopelessly split into so many, many warring groups. This author lists the major segments of religion:
1) Christianity
2) Roman Catholic Church
3) Greek Orthodox Church
4) Islam
5) Eastern Mysticism, especially those in China and Japan
6) Hinduism in India
7) Judaism
Of course, this list is not complete by any means, but it is complete enough to serve the needs of this author in arguing for a world wide religion. Peter Lemesurier, in " The Armageddon Script", goes still further in arguing for a global religion. He states that, because mankind is inherently religious, it needs a Messiah figure to arise! This Messiah would act as a lightening rod, in drawing to himself all the expectations of the major religions for a Messiah. Then, when all those Messianic expectations have been fulfilled in one man, the world will be a far better place, because it can then go about the business of realizing their own inherent godhead, and can then begin to enter an indefinite golden period of peace and safety! Thus, Lemesurier argues that mankind needs to be deceived! When the New Age Christ deceives the peoples of the world into believing that he is their long-awaited Messiah, he will be doing them the favor of removing their false expectations so they can begin their spiritual maturity, under his leadership, of course!
This particular article fits this mold, but this one is mainstream, so it can further the process of conditioning the peoples of the world to accept a Global Religion. We see the giant hand of the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan here, don't you?
For those of you who have not heard of the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan before, we will offer a brief explanation, below. While we have written about it on many occasions, the most complete work is found in NEWS1055, "Review of Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan And How It Is Being Used Today". We encourage you to read it now.
The Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan gives New World Order Planners the ability to silently, almost invisibly, change the attitudes and values of the entire population of a people. They must achieve this before they stage the appearance of their Christ. You will have trouble believing how much of your daily life is being manipulated, but once you understand how this is being accomplished, you can take steps to reduce its effect or eliminate it. This is how this Plan works:
Step 2. At first, the public is shocked, then outraged.
Step 3. But, the VERY FACT that such a thing could be publicly debated becomes the SUBJECT
of the debate.
Step 4. In the process, sheer repetition of the shocking subject under discussion gradually dulling its effect.
Step 5. People then are no longer shocked by the subject.
Step 6. No longer outraged, people begin to argue for positions to moderate the extreme; or, they accept the premise, challenging, instead, the means to ACHIEVE it.
In this instance of conditioning people to accept a Global Religion, we are at the very end of a process which began in earnest in 1948, when the World Council of Churches was established. This Apostate Church sought to unite men under one global religious banner on the basis of what united rather than on what separated. This basis for uniting men and women has always been able to appeal to the logic of the human mind, even though it is totally un-Biblical. Let us examine the Biblical Truth of remaining separate from the false religions which Satan has always perpetrated upon mankind.
1) God told the Israelites that they were to remain a people separated from the false religions of the peoples which surrounded them in their new Promised Land.
a) Deuteronomy 7:6 -- "For you are a holy and set-apart people to the Lord; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to Himself out of all the peoples of the earth." [Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]
b) Deuteronomy 18:9 -- "When you come into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of these nations." God then lists the religious practices of witchcraft, divining the future, being a medium, a sorcerer, a necromancer, or wizard.
c) Joshua 24:14-16 -- "Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods"
d) Revelation 18:4-5 -- "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her [the evil, false system], my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."
This emphasis on separating yourself from false religions so you can wholeheartedly serve the One True God is called, " Sanctification". Since this term is likely unfamiliar with most people, we will spend a few moments explaining it. " SANCTIFICATION -- The process of being made holy resulting in a changed life-style for the believer ... In the Greek New Testament, the root hag- is the basis of hagiasmos, "holiness," "consecration," "sanctification"; hagiosyne, "holiness"; hagiotes, "holiness"; hagiazo "to sanctify," "consecrate," "treat as holy," "purify"; and hagios, "holy," "saint." The root idea of the Greek stem is to stand in awe of something or someone ... Thus, God is separate; things and people dedicated to Him and to His use are separate. The moral implications of this word came into focus with the prophets and became a major emphasis in the New Testament. See Holy." [Holman Bible Dictionary]
We understand this principle of separating oneself from infection in the area of medicine. Doctors routinely quarantine infected people until they are either cured or until they die, so as to prevent their sickness from infecting healthy people. The same principle works in separating yourself from false religions. God's people are always told to be wary of being infected by false religions. Separation is always mandated.
But, in the End of the Age, we are warned that false messiahs and false teaching would suddenly come into vogue, and would lead away many people to their eternal destruction [Matthew 24:11-12, 24; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12]. In fact, the very existence of such a huge, global effort to bring all religions into one fold is a major sign of the End of the Age. Apostate, Liberal Christian groups attempt to justify their grouping together despite doctrinal differences, on the basis of the Lord's prayer in John 17, where Jesus is praying to His Father, that His church will be unified. However, in this passage, Jesus prays that this unification be done on the basis of TRUTH! [read 17:17, 19]. Thus, no Christian can justify joining forces with a group which denies key doctrines of Scripture. Yet, this is exactly the trap that so many "Christian" churches are falling into today. They are allowing themselves to join with groups that do not even believe that Jesus Christ is God come in human flesh and that He is the only way to Heaven! Protestants are even joining forces with the Roman Catholic Church, even though the Catholics teach "another Gospel", and even though the Pope has been selected as the top religious leader of the New World Order Religion, a fact that positively identifies him as the False Prophet of Revelation! [See NEWS1052 for full details]
Today, the world is rushing into the One World Church of the False Prophet and Antichrist, of which Scripture foretells. Last year, a United Religions was established, with the goal of finalizing their organization by the year 2,000! [See NEWS1094] Now, here we see this editorial, which is designed to further this unification process amongst the intelligentsia of the Financial World. The hour truly grows late. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually. If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
Finally, we would love to hear from you.

Ha, I think I know what you mean here, and it's something I thought about later too. I think I was impressed mainly because I've always considered quiz machines to be tighter than a nun's cunt (see Buzzwords cheating thread), plus I'd've played that Bully "just darts" (gonna be okay, do-do-doo-ooh, just darts spin that record babe, do-do-doo-ooh - yeah, scratch your heads, music snobs) game myself to see if it was "doable with skill" (see Buzzwords cheating thread) and doubtless written it off. So yeah, it was impressive in that sense.Matt Morrison wrote:I busted out a nice 301, impressing Jim and particularly Jon in a way I didn't quite expect
(If we had a time machine or you could somehow find a JPM Red Arrow machine, I could probably impress you back, skillstopping reels doing > 1 rev per second and things like that. Actually since you're into that kind of thing, there are some really good JPM Impact emulators + ROMs knocking about the web.)
Good write-up though mate, I kinda wanted to do something similar but in truth I couldn't really be arsed, plus it's difficult (impossible?) to convey some of the stuff with words, like the Newark station masters. It's a cliche, but you had to be there.
(Edit: PS - I think 'PORTIA' was the only one of those "Planetary Moons" that I did get - my strategy for that is basically to go through the first verse of 'Far Out' by Blur and hope to get lucky.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla: – Put away the shorts and flip flops and bust out the sweaters and coats! Wednesday's all-time record January high of 85 degrees will be replaced with a pair of freezes heading into Thursday night and Friday night.
The long advertised cold front arrived late Wednesday night with a strong line of showers and very gusty winds. Some of those winds knocked power out for some JEA customers overnight with as many as 700 customers still without power as of 5 a.m. Thursday.
High temperatures on Thursday will run some 25 to 30 degrees colder than what was observed on Wednesday as cooler polar air continues to filter in.
The areas next couple of freezes are likely heading into Thursday and Friday nights. The mercury may drop into the mid and upper 20s in areas of Georgia with upper 20s and lower 30s for inland locations of Florida. A freeze watch has already been issued for Jacksonville and surrounding counties and this watch will likely be upgraded to a warning by Thursday afternoon.
With temperatures dropping into the 20s, tender plants will need to be covered and pets will need a warm place to sleep. Pipes will not be in danger of freezing. It takes temperatures into the low to mid 20s for an extended period of time pose a danger of bursting. However, if you have a sprinkler system, make sure to cover the back-flow preventers.

Group exercises
Teamwork, leadership, conflict-resolution and influencing skills – how can you measure such essential yet hard-to-quantify work skills?
For many recruiters, the answer is through group exercises held during assessment days. Alongside psychometric tests and interviews, such exercises are seen as vital to get a rounded picture of a candidate's potential.
Group exercises usually involve a team of about six candidates. The team is given a hypothetical problem-solving scenario and asked to work together to resolve it while assessors watch the way the candidates interact for clues to their personalities and working styles.
To succeed in group exercises, bear in mind the following do's and don'ts:
Do read the instructions
Study the brief carefully, assuming that everything in it is potentially important: sometimes it's the small details that make all the difference. Pay close attention to time deadlines, too.
Do look at all the equipment provided
That string, pair of scissors or pencil is probably there for a reason.
Do get in quickly
The opening few minutes are the time when people establish themselves as leaders and team-builders. If you can make a good point early on, others will warm to you and follow your lead.
Do involve others
Invite the quietest member to do something. There'll probably be a role for everyone: leaders, debaters, number-crunchers, time-keepers…A good leader will make sure everyone's doing something.
Do find a consensus
Defend your ideas if challenged, but be prepared to compromise. You probably don't have all the answers, so allow others to speak.
Don't be flippant or rubbish the exercise
Even if it seems childish or poorly structured. Don't put others down, either.
Don't sit silent
Even if you feel left out by the others, offer to do something – even if it's one of the less exciting tasks.
Don't be argumentative
Even when people do not agree with your ideas, try and discuss your ideas in a calm and open manner. If that doesn't work suggest a compromise.
Remember that the assessors are watching you at all times, and anything underhand will be marked down. But don't be intimidated either. They're looking for gifted people to work at their organisation, and they'll want you to do well.

Make This Mezcal Drink Now: The Jewel of Oaxaca
Get the Recipe
Smoky ancho chili peppers and grilled mango might sound like the start of a salsa, but today those flavors are the base of this sweet and earthy cocktail that should be at the top of your must-make list.
Mangoes can occasionally be a little tangy and even tart, but grilling them caramelizes some of the flesh and boosts the sweetness factor. We love the yellow-skinned Champagne variety since they're especially sweet and creamy. Grilling makes the fruit that much more delicious, and helps add flavors that latch into the sweet-wood fired aroma of ancho chili peppers. These dried peppers (called poblano when fresh) don't add much heat, just complex flavor.
If you haven't experimented much with mezcal, this cocktail is a great place to start. (Want to read up first? Here's our guide.) Mezcal is a pretty assertive agave spirit that can sometimes overpower the other ingredients in a drink—if you've played with making cocktails with Scotch, you're in familiar territory here. But the vibrant flavors of mango, chili, and lime work well in combination with the spirit. The mango's heady sweetness, enhanced by the smoky undertone of the ancho syrup, makes for a great partner to the mezcal, accentuating its vegetal aspects and softening its domineering side.

New Year's Resolutions for Believers in Freedom
Conservatives started this year badly, learning the news that their representatives had failed them on the fiscal cliff deal. We are once again kicking the can down the road, and watching seemingly helplessly as the politicians in D.C. squander our children's futures.
We have tried going the traditional route: voting for "conservatives" like Mitt Romney, or ensconcing "conservatives" in the Supreme Court like John Roberts. Obviously, this path is not working. Most of us feel frustrated. The politicians in D.C. — and, let's face it, the general public — don't see the crushing debt as the problem we do. They don't see the abandonment of the free market as the problem we do. They don't see crushing regulation, increased taxes, and overweening socialism as the problem we do.
We want to do something. But what?
This is the time of year when people set New Year's Resolutions. I suggest that, this year, you set your New Year's Resolutions according to principles of conservatism — or, if you prefer (as I do), according to principles of freedom.
Take actions in your everyday life that will promote freedom in this country, in small ways. What am I talking about? Here are some ideas:
1. Stop giving aid and comfort (your hard-earned dollars) to the enemy. Why is anyone spending money on the New York Times? Why is anyone spending a dime on the Los Angeles Times? Why spend money for HBO? Stop giving money to the enemy and redirect it more appropriately.
The long-time reader who gave me the idea for this post told me the following story. He was at a drug store and started to pick up a copy of the New York Times out of habit. Then he thought better of it, and decided instead to pick up some markers that his young daughters could use to color with. Now, he tells me, his daughters are happily drawing away with "the markers that the New York Times bought them."
This year, you will not give these people a cent. You will take the money you save and give a third to your children, a third towards daily expenses, and a third to a conservative charity. Not one dime to the people who spend their days propping up a huckster who is trying to run your children's finances into the ground.
2. Promote the free market. Take some action to educate yourself and the people around you about the free market. Send three people a copy of a book by F.A. Hayek, or Milton Friedman, or Thomas Sowell. Listen to the EconTalk podcasts by Russ Roberts, a hard core free market economist who explores how society would improve in countless ways if we stopped trusting government and started trusting people to make decisions for themselves.
3. Learn more about firearms, and/or spread the word about them. Buy a friend copies of a book by John Lott. Go to a shooting range. Buy a high capacity magazine before they get outlawed! Buy a gun, if you are ready. It's a serious decision, but even if you're not ready to take that step, you can become educated about firearms.
4. Tell five friends about your favorite conservative blog. It doesn't have to be this one, but whatever it is, find a post you really like and send it to five friends who should give the blog a try. We are the check on the liars in the media, and we could use the help.
5. Take a strong stand in favor of free speech. I suggest making a donation to FIRE. Buy a copy of Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate, by Greg Lukianoff, the president of FIRE. I stress that FIRE is not a conservative organization but a free speech organization. But conservatives should be as concerned as anyone about efforts by colleges and universities to indoctrinate our children. This is about as an important an issue as anyone can imagine. Our children's education is truly central to our future. The place to donate to FIRE is here. I just sent them $50 myself. Send them something today.
I'm sure readers will have ideas of their own. Leave them in the comments!

Rogers Communications has teamed up with U.S. wireless carrier Sprint Corp. to deliver high-speed Internet connectivity that will be available in new cars in Canada starting in the next year or two.
But while the Sprint Velocity service, which will give cars high-speed Internet access using the Rogers network, won't be available to consumers until manufacturers install the technology in new vehicles, a Vancouver company has come up with an alternative for turning your old car into a smart car.And that device, dubbed the Moj.io, could be ready to plug into your car by early 2014.
Both developments are part of the growing trend in connected cars. Some 10 per cent of cars have built-in Internet connectivity now, according to Telefonica Digital, which predicts that share will climb to 90 per cent by 2020.
But it's a trend that is worrying auto safety experts who see more connectivity in cars as increasing the risk of distracted driving, the third leading cause of fatal collisions in British Columbia.
The Rogers and Sprint collaboration is bringing Sprint Velocity, which was launched in the U.S. last year, to Canada. That service makes it possible for auto manufacturers to deliver a range of infotainment services, including the ability to turn a vehicle into a wireless network hot spot.No date or pricing was announced for Sprint Velocity in Canada. The companies said its rollout will depend on when auto manufacturers embed the technology in their new cars.
However, Rogers suggested your car could be treated like another device sharing your Rogers data connection.
"Our vision ultimately with connected vehicles, as part of our M2M (machine-to-machine) business, is that they would eventually become another device for sharing data," said Rogers spokesperson Allison Fitton. "That's something we're looking at. The price information will become available when the vehicles roll out."
While there are no details on how Sprint Velocity will be introduced in Canada, company spokesman Walter Fowler said in the U.S., features like Sprint Drive First, an application that disables cellphones when a vehicle is travelling more than 10 miles per hour, are part of Sprint's initiative to reduce the risk of distracted driving. That application allows for a direct connection to emergency services and can be disabled if you're a passenger on a train or bus. Sprint Velocity also offers a "do not disturb" button that lets drivers turn off all calls and texts, the ability to give voice commands and talk-to-text capability.
"I would say both the automotive and the wireless industries are taking a proactive role in reducing the risks in distracted driving," said Fowler.
The Rogers-Sprint announcement comes during a month-long provincewide crackdown on distracted driving by police and ICBC, which are urging drivers to "leave the phone alone.'
"ICBC is very concerned about distracted driving, which is the third leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. On average, 91 deaths each year are due to driver distractions," John Dickinson, ICBC's director of road safety, said in a written response when contacted by The Vancouver Sun about the launch of Sprint Velocity in Canada. "We know many people have a desire to be connected, but we're concerned that the cognitive demands of electronic devices divert a driver's attention from the already complex task of driving.
"When you're distracted behind the wheel, your reaction time is significantly reduced. ICBC strongly recommends that drivers avoid using any features or technologies that might distract them when they're behind the wheel."
Jay Giraud, founder of moj.io, said while people may think drivers will be more distracted, the reality is that Internet connectivity allows many functions and apps to be carried out independently, without distracting the driver.
An Internet-connected car will have its own connection to online cloud data and services, just as your smartphone does. So you can do things such as get a diagnostic report on your car delivered to your smartphone, have your car generate mileage report details or order and pay for a coffee before you reach the drive-in window.
"It's a new category where a lot of people are thinking an Internet-connected car means 'I'm surfing the Internet while I'm driving,'" said Giraud. "But when the car is acting intuitively on your behalf, you're not necessarily being distracted."If your car is finding a parking spot for you and paying for parking, you're a lot less distracted.
"People don't know what the experience is yet, so they default to what they know and in that case, it looks like distracted driving — and that's not what it is at all."
Giraud said he expects moj.io, which was available to Indiegogo supporters for $89 when the company was crowdsourcing funding last year and will retail for $149, will start beta testing next month with public availability next email@example.com/digitallife

LETTER- Red alert: Be sure vinyl is marked
I am very disappointed in Alan Zimmerman's [May 31] Tough Customer column, "Vinyl soul: Short-sheeting makes tempers flare." When I met with Mr. Zimmerman, I told him I wanted consumers to be made aware of a potential problem. The problem was purchasing vinyl and planning to install it on your own, from any store, not just Floor Fashions.
Each customer needed to know to check for "red marks" on the back of the vinyl before leaving the store. I knew nothing about these "red marks" until my experience with Floor Fashions.
The "red marks" are supposedly stamped on the back of the vinyl, on both ends, when it's cut by the company. In this instance, JJ Haynes was the company that cut the vinyl. This is their proof that the vinyl has not been cut by the customer.
However, what happens if the company fails to put both stamps on the vinyl? You have no proof that you did not cut the vinyl. This is what happened to me. The first piece of vinyl had only one stamp, not two. So Floor Fashions assumed that I had cut it. I had not cut the vinyl.
A second piece was ordered, and I was told that they were going to inspect this piece. If it had two stamps, "We had a problem." The problem was that I wasn't going to get the new piece and I was out $1,000.
Thank goodness this piece, the second piece ordered from JJ Haynes, had no "red marks." Floor Fashions had no choice but to give me the second piece of vinyl. Yes, in the end, it all worked out for me. I got the right size floor, and I was given a full refund– $500 from JJ Haynes and the other $500 from Floor Fashions.
I couldn't ask for anything more.
However, this was not the issue. The issue was I wanted to inform others about these "red marks" so they could protect themselves. I wanted everyone to know that they need to check for these "red marks" before leaving the store. The next person may not be as lucky as I was.

My Trip To Idaho
|Took this picture of a plane identical to the one I was
sitting on that took me to Pocatello.
Like most trips it wasn't long enough (I could have handled 2 more days away from hubby; maybe). And like some trips there were bad moments as well as good.
My last day there I woke up with some cursed bug that kept me in the bathroom most of the day! My sister drives up from Las Vegas to see me and all I can do is be a miserable good for nothing! So I didn't make it to the cemetery like I wanted to.
Two days after I got home I received a text from sister...and I quote...."You suck!! Now I'm sick w/stomach flu!" Found out that I got it from my daughter. So we shared laughter, hugs, memories, and yuckiness.
Got to see all the grandkids but one. Is there a group for grandparents who are kept out of their grandchildren's lives? I need to find one.
While I was there I went through boxes of photos, newspaper clippings and other ephemera. I also scavenged around in mom's cedar chest as well as mine (I sure wish I could get that down here). I even found a box of letters that dad wrote to mom while he was in college. Who knew that he was once one of those smart
Of course I had my magic wand with me. I scanned over 100 images so I should have some good posting material. I talked ma into letting me bring the photos home though so I could scan directly to the computer. I promised I would send them back. I also ran around the house taking photos of all the family treasures. Unfortunately the only scenery picture I got was the snow in ma's backyard.
And....it looks like I missed my 2nd blogoversary. Oh well.

25 May 2016 - STAMFORD, Conn. and LUCCA, Italy
Guest Analyst Paul Hamerman Discusses How to Accelerate EPM Selection in Tagetik's Next Progressive CFO Webinar
New deployment options, less dependence on IT, and need for vendor agility call for new approaches to enterprise performance management selection process
Tagetik, a visionary leader in global performance management software solutions, will host the webinar "An Accelerated Approach to EPM Software Selection," the latest presentation in Tagetik's popular Progressive CFO™ series on Wednesday, June 1, from 11:00 to 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time/ 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. Central European Time. Guest speaker Paul Hamerman, vice president and principal analyst for Forrester Research, will discuss why finance teams need to move beyond traditional RFPs for enterprise performance management (EPM) selection processes and will highlight selection considerations to improve decision-making.
Dave Kasabian, chief marketing officer of Tagetik, will direct the conversation. The 30-minute interview will touch on these and other topics:
- How new technologies and deployment options are changing the EPM landscape
- How the increasingly strategic demands on the office of finance must factor into the selection process
- Why RFPs frequently result in unreliable outcomes and favor mature vendors over market innovators
- New, more agile approaches to evaluating EPM vendors
Hamerman has been an industry analyst for Forrester for 13 years and specializes in finance and HR enterprise applications. He has 30 years of overall experience in research and advisory services, management consulting, and systems integration. He is a certified public accountant (CPA) and a certified management accountant.
"Finance needs are shifting from batch to real-time, from retrospective to predictive, and from numeric to visual. Therefore, EPM software selection must shift from a static, functional orientation to one that identifies solutions that can truly enable business growth and agility," said Kasabian. "RFPs were developed by IT when IT 'owned' all system selections and operations. But today's EPM solutions are best owned and governed by the office of finance. Therefore, selections should be based on current and projected business needs, not historical IT priorities."

Ever since reading about the infamous 1971 Japanese version of 'Hair' in Julian Cope's book Japrocksampler (the fact that though it got closed down after only 2 months, the "event" had a huge impact on Japanese underground music) I have wanted to hear the entire album in good quality (there is a rip on WFMU from 2006 but the quality is pretty low...but hey, it was 2006!) and now I finally stumble on a 320 rip from March this year and the link is dead!?!?
What will it take for a repost? I am hoping a polite "please" will do it but I am open to suggestions if not!

I forgot to pass on these links..while searching for the Japanese version of Hair (you know, the one you posted with the dead link) I came across the Brazilian and French version which are some kinda splendid:
Brazilian Hair Soundtrack (1969):
French Hair Soundtrack:
And for anyone who wants an English version:

Cheers Saucie! Many thanks for the visit...I poked around for another link to the Jap cast recording and no luck so far. I will keep after it. Problem is, the wonderful blog from which it originated, called "Spiral," inexplicably went dark a few months back...I hate when that happens!
Thanks also for the other links, very much indeed. I've heard the others but I'm fairly sure I don't have the Brazil cast LP anywhere, so I will post that now, and many big thanks for that!
Stay tuned, and cheers again --

Thanks for clearing up a mystery! I spent the last couple of months trying to remember the name of the blog I used to visit with all the different Hair soundtracks but could not find any reference to it..I started to think I had hallucinated the whole thing until I saw your reply and the name 'Spiral' and then I remembered nlgbbbblth.blogspot.com!!!
Weirdly, when I first saw your post I thought to myself..oh that blog I cannot remember the name of will love this! Makes sense he was the guy who originally posted it as he had the most incredible collection of Hair soundtracks amongst loads of other great record rips...totally gutting his blog disappeared down the memory hole!
Lets keep our fingers crossed Spiral/Nlgbbbblth gets the music blogging bug again..according to Google Reader his last post was in May 2011 and hopefully his enthusiasm will return in a few months and a new blog will emerge..then we can pounce!
Glad you liked the Brazilian Hair soundtrack, blew me away!

By accident I stumbled across a rip of the Japanese Soundtrack To Hair! It's a 192 rip so it is different from the 320 rip Spiral originally posted but even so, the quality is pretty good and its a clean recording.
The blog I found it in is pretty interesting if you are into obscure Japanese underground music from the early seventies and while I like my music a little more electronic, I am sure there are gems to be found:
And if anyone reading this has a higher quality rip do not hesitate to post a link!

The Biggest Question in the Universe
In 1976 John Piper asked a two-part question:
- What is God's goal in the history of mankind from its beginning at creation to its climax in the new heavens and new earth?
- And how should we respond to this goal?
This is ultimate. We are in deep water. And yet the reasoning behind such a question is quite simple: in Jesus we are God's children and children want to know their Father. Pastor John explains,
[Y]ou don't really know a person until you know what moves him most deeply. It makes no sense to say that we know God when we are not acquainted with his strongest desire and with the goal that guides all his actions. But if we don't know him, then we can't worship him and we can't imitate him. In other words, if we are to be faithful children of our heavenly Father who worship him and imitate him as we ought, then we must answer [this question].
The newly transcribed article featured this week in The Life of the Mind column is a Bible-saturated wrestling with why the universe exists. It's one of Pastor John's earliest writings where the foundational pieces of Desiring God began to coalesce.
Read the entire article, "The Glory of God as the Goal of History."
