Warning! You may be shocked and may not believe your eyes at what you’ll see below. It may even turn your entire perception upside down, but keep reading!

Recently we’ve discussed what the sport has turned into in the past 20 or so years: REPORT: Dirty Geopolitics of Olympics and Globalism – Will Russia Say NO and Start Alternative Games? In that report, of December 18, 2017, I said ‘Big sport, simply put, equals the following: big money, big business and big showbiz‘. There is no fairness and no hope of justice in sport at this time in our common reality. Pretty depressing, right?

For someone who grew up with the old ideals of sport it’s hard to watch the mockery and a farce it has become. But I really wanted to have something positive and hopeful with which to #Jumpstart2018, and I found this gem.

True, there may be different vantage points and different interpretations of various events, and there has always been politics and geopolitics present in any Big sport.

You hear me often talk about multidimensional truths and the fact that we are transitioning into 4D. This means that everything that was a norm in 3D is changing. I would hope though, that things like honesty, honor and common decency will remain. It saddens me greatly that in our day and age these solid old notions have almost been rendered obsolete and useless. But let me assure you, they will always remain crucially important in any dimension and in any reality.

You may not believe it, but there was a time when the Olympic sport was honest, at least it made an effort to be so. And it was at the height of the Cold War.

1972, Munich Summer Olympics. American basketball is the best in the world. In the previous 36 years the US basketball team never lost, and at that moment in history US has won 63 straight games in Olympic competitions. And no wonder. After all, basketball is an original American sport, invented by a US college professor 150 years ago, who tied two fruit baskets in a college court and offered a new sporting competition to his students.

Unexpectedly, the young Soviet basketball team makes it to the Munich Olympic finals, after beating top contenders such as Cuba, to play against the US team. Throughout the game, both USSR and US go neck to neck, at an early point the USSR even being well ahead. After that the USA gains most points back, and again both go head to head. The match is nearly over and the USA is one point ahead, after 2 penalty throws give it 2 extra points. The score is USA 50 — USSR 49. The Soviet coach takes timeout 3 seconds before the end of game.

And then, something crazy begins to happen…

This video was the original ABC broadcast of that golden game, shown live on US TV. The video is shortened to show only the scoring points of the game. You’ll hear the original American commentator. On top of it you’ll hear the Russian commentator, who’s commentating well after the game is over, already knowing the final result.

Don’t blink or you’ll miss it! Watch my timestamps on this tape. Just a minute before the end of game the score is USA 48 — USSR 49 (15:29). Pivotal point! American player Doug Collins attacks but collides with Russian (15:35), who is defending his basket. US team is awarded 2 penalty shots and Collins scores twice. Now the score is USA 50 — USSR 49. The first mistake is made when the Soviet coach Kondrashin asks for timeout but it isn’t registered right away. The mistake is fixed and timeout is counted (15:50 – 16:28).

During timeout, one USSR player is replaced by another, Ivan Yadeshko, who will make the final pass. Now watch very closely! No timestamps here as it’s all self-evident! From off court on the Russian side Yadeshko makes a long pass to Alexander Belov, positioned on the opposite side of the court by the US basket, and at that moment the final siren sounds, signaling the end of game. The entire US team, plus all US coaches and US Olympic committee members (in white jackets) flood the court, celebrating victory. The US fans go crazy in the arena… The Russian commentator is heard saying that he is sorry for the US athletes and fans as they are about to find out that it’s not over… He will also make it a point to say that the American team is great and equally deserving of victory.

At that moment the man whose name is Dr. William Jones signals from the judging/ time-keeping table that the time has been miscalculated and there are still 3 seconds left.

Who was Dr. William Jones? He was the man who wrote the rules of that basketball game. By rules, after timeout the time starts being counted from the moment the ball touches the first player in the court. Erroneously, the time count began from the moment Yadeshko made his long pass from outside the court. Dr. Jones happened to be next to the time-keeping judge’s table and noticed the mistake.

Now don’t blink! 3 seconds to the end of the game are reset, and the Soviet team again gets to make that same long pass (17:50 – 18:05). Yadeshko makes his winning pass, Russian star Alexander Belov catches the ball and although two US players hang onto him trying to prevent it, scores. USSR wins 51 to 50. I’ve watched this spectacular moment several times (here is the exact time stamp one more time 17:55 – 18:03).

Both Ivan Yadeshko and Alexander Belov played a very inspired game. They would come home to become the legends of Russian sport. Another legend, Sergey Belov, Alexander’s brother, scored 20 points out of 51 in that game.

Many remarkable things could be said about this unusual game. One of the things that stood out for me were the actions of Dr. William Jones, who passed away prematurely in 1981. Being an American, he chose scrupulous honesty over profit or US team’s gain. How unusual his actions sound from today’s perspective!

Another behind-the-scenes moment that struck me: the time-keeper of that game, the one who made those two infamous mistakes, was none other than Sepp Blatter, who would eventually become a long-time FIFA president, ousted in 2015 due to his refusal to succumb to globalists’ pressure to take the 2018 World Cup away from Russia. (Read my original big report about FIFA Scandal, World Cup and Joseph Blatter.)

And another striking moment. That 1972 Olympic gold game was never shown live in the USSR because the government/ Soviet sports bureaucrats expected to lose to the US. They made a decision not to show the game to avoid potential embarrassment. The Soviet team was expected to lose big time, it was expected to be simply slaughtered. The people learned about what really happened later, from a recording borrowed (purchased?) from American broadcaster ABC! Hmm… talk about embarrassment… If you want to know my opinion, it was attitudes like this that contributed to the USSR demise.

However, the game was broadcast live on the USSR radio. It was very telling in that it conveyed the general conviction that the Americans could not be beaten. In it, the radio commentator first says in a very resigned to the fact voice that the game’s almost over, three seconds to go… and then, suddenly shouts in disbelief, ‘We won, we won!’

Just like many stories from Soviet days, this one was forgotten and was only exposed to general public recently. What popularized it was the new Russian movie called Движение вверх (Moving Up), from Nikita Mikhalkov studio. The film came out just a month ago and has already proved mega-popular, with rave reviews. Based on true event of the 1972 Olympics and real lives of Soviet athletes, it is still a fictional work. But it immediately sparked interest in the real documentary events of that day, the true events I described for you above.

We live in a different era. There is no USSR any more. The IOC, WADA, FIFA and other international sports bureaucracies have become a tool of the globalist agenda. The witch hunt against Russian sport is continuing, and it’s still feasible for it to reach yet another new crushing low during the upcoming PyeongChang Winter Olympics and the 2018 World Cup held in Russia, just as Russia goes into the presidential elections on March 18, 2018.

The creators of the film say that it was released to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the invention of basketball in the USA.

Was it released by accident right around the time IOC made its dishonest and politically motivated decision to ban Russian team from S. Korean Games? Of course not. It is a gentle reminder of the fact that it’s possible to take the high road, demonstrating how it was done in the past. It is also a reminder to Russian athletes and their fans that miracles are possible, even when the whole country doesn’t believe in you.

Is it also a reminder to all of us of something forgotten? Clean old ideals and high standards, new hope and new truth in the New Year 2018? We do need these inspiring reminders, and I also try to write about them as often as I can. Will they work? I think so, and I hope so — but time will tell.

Don’t forget to read my big REPORT: Dirty Geopolitics of Olympics and Globalism – Will Russia Say NO and Start Alternative Games? (Links to other articles on the topic are inside the report.)

Interesting trivia ~

It took the film crew a month to shoot the whole USSR-USA game from 6 different cameras. The game and all of the moves were ‘choreographed’  by Alexander Belov, the son of the original Soviet/Russian basketball star Sergey Belov.

The Soviet team of that historic game was strikingly multi-national. The Belov brothers were Russian, of course. Ivan Yadeshko — Ukrainian, the guy you’ve seen in the video above defending the basket during Doug Collins’ attack was Georgian, There was also an Uzbek and a Lithuanian on the team. Yet another reminder of how well they all used to live and work together…

Watch a small snippet from the new film Движение вверх (Moving Up), plus interview with one of the stars, Kirill Zaitsev, who played Sergey Belov. The film is based on Sergey Belov’s book, by the same name.

We can now watch a ‘replay’ of that legendary game — in HD. The film Движение вверх (Moving Upbegan showing in Russian theaters on December 28, 2017.

    Wow, that was a truly exciting moment in sport! Although world sport was still politically motivated during the cold war, sports were all the more meaningful b/c it was played honestly… by the rules!
    Kudos to all the players for a well played, very close and exciting game! 🙂

  3. Reblogged this on timtolzmann and commented:

    I wonder if the Grecian Olympics were athletic competitions between Grecian States. But competitions between political entities, whatever they are, seem to have been politicized. Politics is trying to make sense of illusion. There are art, science, commerce. Athletics would seem to be art. Trying to prove that one system of government is better than another is like trying to prove that one game is better than another. The Divine Maharishi often said that “Democracy is the worst form of government that has been tried on earth”. And He said that “Divine Monarchy is the ideal form of government”. And lest one think that ideal is not practical, I want to let you know that nothing could be farther from the truth. The ideal is the only thing that will produce the desired results. Less than ideal will always be less than practical. The means are the end in the making. If you try to create a statue from iron, it will rust. Gold only will be of value in the field of values. There was a time when it was generally believed that, “It isn’t whether you win or lose that counts, it’s how you play the game”. Those who participate in any game who don’t know the truth of that principle, will only suffer from playing the game. Those who know the truth of that principle, know that games are art forms and how can one fail if one does one’s best. Why do we keep score, then? I haven’t thought about it. Ask me next time we meet.

Wearable tech trial to help prevent type 2 diabetes

King’s Health Partners and an innovative technology company called Buddi, have combined forces to help prevent type 2 diabetes.

wearable tech trial to help prevent type 2 diabetes 2 - Wearable tech trial to help prevent type 2 diabetes
Image source: Buddi

The collaboration is launching a new trial to see if wearable technology and a mobile app could improve health outcomes for people with pre-diabetes. The year-long randomised control trial is due to start in September and will work with 200 patients in the London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark.

The ultimate aim of the project is to prevent those with pre-diabetes from developing the disease by promoting healthy lifestyle changes. It is estimated that more than 1 in 3 of the UK adult population are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The patients involved with the trial will sport a Buddi wristband in combination with a mobile app designed to promote physical activity and healthy eating – two important risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The app will collect data on activity, eating behaviours and diabetes management and send back supportive and motivational messages to encourage the patient to adopt healthy behaviours.

“In the face of the explosive growth of the obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemic, not only in London but globally, continued innovations in clinical services are required and the NHS is in need of new cost effective tools, ” said Professor Khalida Ismail, co-leader of the King’s Health Partners Diabetes Clinical Academic Group.

“Current intensive and expensive methods are not sustainable given the projected growth of the disease and we have a duty to develop new solutions to help tackle the problem.”

Diabetes is one the fastest growing health threats of our times and an urgent public health issue. Since 1996, the number of people living with diabetes in the UK has more than doubled. Type 2 diabetes currently causes around 22,000 early deaths in the UK each year.

“The NHS spends almost 10% of hospital expenditure on treating diabetes and diabetes related complications. We are helping to develop a solution to enable healthcare professionals to shift their focus from reactive treatment to preventative measures,” said Sara Murray, Chief Executive and founder of Buddi.

One thought on “Wearable tech trial to help prevent type 2 diabetes

  • August 20, 2016 at 1:22 am

    WELL.. In July of 2015. it was discovered that I got type 2 diabetes, By the end of the July month. I was given a prescription for the Metformin, I stated with the ADA diet and followed it completely for several weeks but was unable to get my blood sugar below 140, Without results to how for my hard work. I really panicked and called my doctor. His response?? Deal with it yourself, I started to feel that something wasn’t right and do my own research, Then I found Lisa’s great blog (google ” HOW I FREED MYSELF FROM THE DIABETES ” ) .. I read it from cover to cover and I started with the diet and by the next morning. my blood sugar was 100, Since then. I get a fasting reading between the mid 70s and 80s, My doctor was very surprised at the results that. the next week. he took me off the Metformin drug, I lost 30 pounds in my first month and lost more than 6 inches off my waist and I’m able to work out twice a day while still having lots of energy. The truth is that we can get off the drugs and help myself by trying natural methods..

Here are 10 things we’ve learned about the Samsung Galaxy Watch

We should have a few busy months ahead of us. Google is working on a new Pixel watch, LG on two intelligent timepieces and with IFA approaching, we’re sure there will be some goodies in store from Fitbit, Garmin, Fossil and others. And lets not forget the Apple Watch 4 which is expected to land in September.

Not to be left behind, Samsung is reportedly working on a new smartwatch. This will be a successor to the Gear S3 launched in 2016 and Gear Sport released last October. The current range is in desperate need for an upgrade, but the wait for the new watch should not be too long.

Essential reading: Top fitness trackers and health gadgets

The folks over at SamMobile say Samsung has labelled the device with the model number SM-R800 and codename Galileo. Unfortunately, apart this information, they’ve revealed little else. But other sources have.

Here is everything we’ve learned so far:

  1. Its pretty clear the watch will not be called Gear S4. Instead, Samsung has opted to name it Galaxy Watch. This will make it fit neatly into Samsung’s existing range of Galaxy products.
  2. The device could arrive as soon as next month. It is rumoured for release alongside the Galaxy Note 9 at Samsung’s Unpacked 2018 event in New York city on August 9th. The early release might give it an edge over products from other companies which are expected from September onwards. Reports say the timepiece has already been certified in Europe which points to an imminent release. The other possibility for launch is IFA 2018 in Germany, later in the month.
  3. The watch is expected to have the same round faced design, but it should be thinner and lighter than the S3. This should not be a difficult feat considering the S3 is a pretty chunky animal.
  4. Expect the usual upgrades to the processor and memory.
  5. The watch looks set to have LTE connectivity. This allows you to leave your smartphone behind while still staying in the loop on messages and calls. So far, LTE watches have been few and far between.
  6. The smartwatch is also expected to come with better health and fitness features. The S Health app will be getting more in-depth sleep tracking and possibly more.
  7. Some reports even speak of blood pressure monitoring. The company has apparently figured out how to take readings from the wrist. Similar to the way a light sensor is used for measuring heart rate, the new sensor works by shining polarized light and then sensing the intensity of the scattered light. If the technology proves accurate, it means you’ll be able to monitor your blood pressure around the clock directly from your smartwatch. A game changer as no one else has managed this so far.
  8. We are expecting two variants of the new wearable with a Classic and more rugged, sporty version possibly being revealed.
  9. The current Gear S3 includes a 380mAh battery but this will be bumped up to 470mAh. The bigger capacity along with a more efficient processor should extend the 3 days you get on the current generation watch.
  10. Rumours are abound that Samsung might ditch its Tizen operating system and swap it with Google’s Wear OS. This rumour is from Evan Glass, a tipster with a well known track record. He recently tweeted the following: “Seen on the wrists of Samsung employees: Gear watches running not Tizen, but Wear OS.”

No word yet on pricing but more leaks will surface as August approaches. We’ll keep a close eye and let you know when we hear more.

    Verizon, purposely, dragged their feet bringing the LTE-equipped S3 Frontier to market. In the year I’ve had mine it has been indispensable; what it doesn’t do is update my location to Google Maps when I leave my phone at home. Please just keep at least one version of the S4 as beautifully chunky as the S3 is now since it looks and feels good on my wrist. How much would I like to be able to pre-order a Note9 and an S4 Smartwatch on August 9th (after the reveal)? The answer is, very much.

  • July 5, 2018 at 6:00 am

    Hope its waterproof and has a built in speaker. A fusion of the S3 and sport mods is all I’m asking for!

  • July 6, 2018 at 3:26 am

    It seem s like forever to get this to market. I am ready to retire my Samsung Gear as long as the Australian telcos can support the LTE technology with reasonable coverage.

About Our Farms

The Geauga Family Farms Story

What is Geauga Family Farms? A cooperative of five family farms.

Who are the farmers of GFF? Mostly Amish farmers in the Geauga County area.

Why was GFF started? To save our farms.

In 2005, three older gentlemen realized they were witnessing the disappearance of farmland and possibly a way of life as well. These men got together to see what could be done to save our farms. They decided to start a cooperative to give a stronger, collective voice to the small-scale family farmer. They called a meeting to see how many people would be interested. Nearly 100 showed up! The group selected a board of five members. In 2006, they sold some free-range eggs, chickens, goats and cheeses. In 2007, they added jams and jellies, bread and other baked goods, maple syrup, grass-fed beef and some produce. In January, 2008, four of the founding board members stepped aside and they nominated four new members; three were produce growers. So guess what happened in 2008? We sold quite a bit more produce. We had a 350 percent increase in sales that year. In 2009 GFF began a CSA program, delivering shares to sites in Geauga and Cuyahoga counties. We nearly tripled our membership in 2010, becoming one of the largest CSA programs in the state.

So is Geauga Family Farms saving farms? Definitely. We are excited about farming. One Amish man decided to buy his dad’s farm and GFF helped him make that decision. Farming for a living becomes possible when customers are willing to pay a fair price for the harvest.

In Defense of Ebooks

Let me begin by saying one thing.  I love books. I don’t love books on quite the same level my wife does, but I love them, none the less.  The tactile experiences of holding a bound tome in hand, feeling the texture of the paper pages, smelling the aging ink, and enjoying the way light plays on the imperfections in the paper are all things that will always ensure that phsyical books are welcome in my home. Looking at a shelf full of books is a pleasant thing, and few things in life are as exciting as opening a book and finding  a long forgotten, pressed four-leaf clover.  All that said, there are plenty of reasons for taking advantage of electronic versions of books.

Ebooks are easier to carry than paper books, I can literally carry over 100 books in my pocket in the form of a memory card.  I can easily switch titles without getting up, walking across the room, and figuring out which shelf I stored that particular book on.  I can change the format of the written word on the fly to ensure that the font is of a comfortable size.  Think, too, of the cost (monetary and environmental) and energy that goes into printing books vs. making digital copies available.  I know, ereaders aren’t exactly zero-carbon, but when you consider the number of books you can read on one, it doesn’t take long to reach an equilibrium.   What I really enjoy, though, is the freedom of having such a wide variety of books available for little or no cost at the touch of a button; try browsing your local library or books-a-million in your underwear and see how far you make it before they throw you out.

Lately, I’ve found myself enamored with older, public domain classics.  There’s scads of wisdom and entertainment to be found in the works of some of those long past authors, and there’s a plentiful supply of their writings available for free.  As a gentleman beggar, it’s that last word that really grabs my attention–“free”.  With programs like Project Gutenberg in action, an ever expanding catalog of history’s knowledge is available at no more than the cost of a few seconds of browsing online and downloading a file.  With devices like the Amazon Kindle, Sony eReader, the Kobo, and Barnes & Noble’s Nook, there’s little reason not to take advantage of public domain works.

If you are reading this, you obviously have access to a computer.  If the current high price of a dedicated ereading device seems a tad daunting, there’s always software for the pc (mac, iPad, smartphone, too!) that will let you take advantage of pretty much any format ebook you can download.  Amazon offers a desktop version of their Kindle software, as does Barnes & Noble.  Fbreader is another great option, along with Mobipocket reader, and others.  If you find that you need to convert between ebook formats, there’s always programs like Calibre available.  The best thing about all these programs?  They don’t cost you a dime.  My personal favorite right now is Mobipocket reader; it works a treat on my netbook and its two-page at a time view evokes the feeling of an open paperback without the struggle of keeping it open.

If you’re looking for some good ebooks, I can’t recommend the site enough.  It is an awesome online library of public domain and creative commons works, all free of charge.  You can search the books by genre, author, title, and in various other ways as well.  There’s a special collections section that groups books by theme, and they even have the books organized by Library of Congress categories for those of you who find that convenient.  One great feature of the site is the shelf system.  Once you register (for free), you can start creating multiple shelves for keeping up with books you’ve found on the site.  You can choose to make your shelves available to others, too, if you think others might enjoy your collection.  Since finding the site, I’ve downloaded a stack of books that will likely keep me busy reading for a couple of years–all at no cost. Manybooks also links to audio copies of their books, usually recorded by the Librivox project, when available, to those of you who prefer to listen to a good book.  Probably the best feature of Manybooks is the plethora of options you have for file formats.  They have the books available in most of the major formats including Kindle and Sony eReader compatible files.  One really impressive option includes the custom pdf format.  You can choose the size you want your pages to be so that the pdf will display properly on the reader of your choice.

So, if you feel like a little reading this evening, get yourself a good ereader program or device, check out and settle in for a grand adventure.  Here’s a link to my ever growing shelf to get you started.

Statement on the EU's Reaffirmation for a Democratic Iraq

President Bush spoke today with the President of the European Council, Dutch Prime Minister Balkenende, and expressed his intention to work with the European Union, building on our shared values and interests, to promote development and progress, defeat terrorists, and encourage freedom and democracy around the world.

The United States especially welcomes the EU's reaffirmation today of its commitment to assist in the emergence of a stable, secure, and democratic Iraq. Following Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi's meeting with the European Council, the EU pledged financial and personnel support for the upcoming national elections in Iraq to be held in January 2005. The European Union also offered financial contributions for the "middle ring" of the U.N. Protection Force and an expert team for planning a mission to Iraq on police, rule of law, and civilian administration. These steps are all important investments in Iraq's future. We look forward to working with the EU, the Iraqi government, and the Iraqi people to ensure continued progress in the economic, social, and political reconstruction of Iraq.

MRS. BUSH: Hi, everybody. How are you all? Well, we're here once again -- Christmas comes faster and faster the older you get, I think. This year, the Boteks, from Pennsylvania, have given the big tree, and these are their grandchildren who are on the wagon up here, that brought the tree in.

Mrs. Laura Bush stands with the Botek family of Lehighton, Pa., as she receives the official White House Christmas tree on the North Portico Monday, Nov. 27, 2006. The Botek family owns Crystal Springs Tree Farm and donated the 18-foot Douglas fir tree. White House photo by Shealah Craighead We're so excited to once again start all the decorations. The decorators are here from around the country to decorate the White House, and I think we'll reveal the decorations to all of you this Thursday, I believe. They'll finish up probably on Wednesday and then we'll invite the press inside to come see it. And the big, big tree that the Boteks have grown in Pennsylvania will be the tree in the Blue Room, decorated beautifully once again for this holiday season.

I'm so thrilled and honored that you all would donate a tree to the White House this season. Thank you all very, very much, and thank you for your long interest in growing trees -- they've been growing trees, they've had a tree farm since 1964, so that's a wonderful thing. So thanks, everybody, and happy holidays -- this is the very start of the holidays, even though it's not even December, but we're getting ready to have it be December.

Roll the Dice: 1985 Porsche 928S

We’ve been running with the “Roll the Dice” posts for a little while now, but this will be the first time I have taken a foray into that segment. While all of the marques featured in such posts pose inherent financial risk, Porsche may represent the riskiest of all since the price of entry is in many cases already rather high. This is especially the case with my most favored car, the 911. But I really want to like this car and given its current state, a roll of the dice may be just want you’re looking at.

This is a 1985 Porsche 928S in the very rare combination of Prussian Blue Metallic over a Can-can Red interior. It’s a very striking combination and one that I absolutely love. Prussian Blue makes for a very pretty exterior color, but without being flashy. Can-can Red is…well it’s all flash. The juxtaposition of the two colors works great and you’re certain to attract plenty of attention. It’s also not something we see on the 928 too often. And that’s why I like this 928 quite a bit. It helps that both the exterior and interior look in nice shape. It’s mechanical condition…that’s where the roll of the dice comes in because the seller seems to have a decent sense of what the problems are, but not necessarily the cause of those problems.

CLICK FOR DETAILS: 1985 Porsche 928S on eBay

Year: 1985
Model: 928S
Engine: 5.0 liter V8
Transmission: 4-speed automatic
Mileage: 117,004 mi
Price: $8,000 Buy It Now

1985 Porsche 928 S in special order “Prussian Blue Metallic” with “Can-Can Red” interior (total 80’s color scheme). Car is rust free (stored inside) and in pretty good shape for a 33 year old car. You don’t see many of these around anymore and have been going up in value in the last few years.

The good:
Well, it’s a Porsche.
Color scheme is rare.
17″ Cup C2 rims, tires have about 90% life remaining (Michelin Pilot Sport on rear, Pilot Super Sport on front).
Head gaskets replaced at 112K miles, steering rack at 107K miles.
Timing belt was changed prior to me owning it, based on emails with previous owner’s mechanic (reputable).
Have all of my receipts plus some invoices from previous owner.
Also installed a 7″ touchscreen in-dash DVD player.

The bad:
Vacuum leak that I can’t find….resulting in rough idle.
Recently replaced tachometer hovers around 900 rpm, regardless of actual engine speed.
Passenger door does not unlock with key (in pass. door lock). Works when locked from driver’s door or lock buttons.
A/C hasn’t worked since I’ve owned it.
Blower fan acts up once in a while (could be a resistor pack).
Dash and pod have some cracks/warping.
Driver’s seatback has some scratches (probably from something in back pocket).
I think the vibration damper in the torque tube came loose from it’s carrier…rattles at idle, but goes away when it’s under a load. Have a replacement torque tube with Constantine Super Bearings.

This car has gremlins that need to be chased and caught. I don’t really have the free time to devote to it. These cars are very complicated. This car would be best suited for someone who knows them inside and out or has a mechanic that knows the breed.

Includes belt tension tool, spare oil filter, lift bars, car cover and miscellaneous parts.

Yes, the ride height looks high in front. I recently took it off it’s storage skates and the front hasn’t settled down yet.

This car is for sale locally.

I feel like this is a fairly standard roll the dice equation as it encompasses the basic features of high maintenance costs and a number of unresolved issues. The seller says that all receipts for work performed under his ownership are present along with a few from the previous owner. So we may be looking at the typical case of a host of deferred maintenance that slowly has been coming together, but obviously issues still exist. As he states, the 928 is a complicated car and as such they have been known to pose (expensive) problems when not maintained on time. His hope is to find a buyer with enough familiarity, or access to a mechanic, to understand the issues and tackle them without going through the costly process of replacing parts seemingly at random and hoping it works. Overall that seems like the right approach.

The list of faults isn’t all that short, but they also don’t seem of the sort where you might expect serious problems. Perhaps more of a quantity over quality sort of thing. But given all of that the asking price doesn’t seem too bad. It’s an automatic so it won’t command quite as much as the more rare manual equipped cars and perhaps given that the price could come down a little. But at $8K I’m not sure how much more we’d expect. If you’re a 928 fan looking for interesting color combinations and aren’t scared away by a project, this could make for a fun prospect. I’m sure once looking good and running well it’d be a joy to drive.

Bookmark the permalink.

  1. The well known $10,000 owner change car. Next owner will spend $10K to fix what it wrong and the next guy after him will rinsed and repeat.
    Lovely cars that are entirely too complicated for even the above average gear head to work on and the pool of those who will is small.

  2. I would buy the car just for this beautiful color combo.

Participation is a cornerstone of successful employee advocacy programs. The more often employees participate, the more engaged they become, the better the overall health of the program.

There’s a way to increase participation beyond typical internal promotion tactics. While it has to do with how easy you can make it for your employees to share content through your employee advocacy platform, it comes in a form you might not have thought of:

Brand voice.

That’s right, the way you write the content you want shared can have a huge impact on how willing an employee is to share it.

They don’t want to sound like a corporate megaphone when they share company blog posts or job openings with their friends, family and colleagues. On the flip side, their friends, family and colleagues don’t want to read posts from someone who sounds like a corporate megaphone.

Developing an employee-centric brand voice will help you sustain and even increase engagement and sharing through your employee advocacy platform. Below we’ll talk about how to do this and provide some tactical ideas for different types of content:

Matching Voice to Intent & Trust

Any time you share something on social media, there’s intent behind it (likes, comments, shares, clicks, etc.). People will respond to the intent of the post if they feel it comes from an authentic place. Over time, that authenticity turns to trust and increased engagement on social content.

This is more important than you might realize when it comes to employee advocacy. To illustrate why, let’s take a step back and look at the different ways people can share and engage with all types of content on social media. We’ve ranked them by “strength of endorsement” from lowest to highest:

  • Liking a brand post
  • Commenting on a brand post
  • Resharing a brand post to their own profile
  • Sharing an original post from the website itself with a thoughtful introduction

As you move down the list, the level of effort increases. This means the relationship between that piece of content and your employee must increase. Otherwise, why would they share it?

Consider this: your employee advocacy program offers the ability to share content at the highest strength of endorsement, yet with very little effort, thanks to your hard work curating content into your employee advocacy platform.

So what does this have to do with voice? Everything.

  • You made it easy to depict the strongest level of trust and relationship with brand content. This means whatever your employees share will be perceived by their followers as something truly important. Additionally, they’ll trust your employees’ endorsement of that content.
  • To match the level of trust being depicted, and retain it for the future, the post needs to sound like it came from them and not some corporate marketing department.

Let’s put it another way–you’re renting space on your employees’ social profiles. Payment for that rent comes in the form of content that’s relevant to them and their networks. This reinforces the bond of trust that they’ve built with their networks.

Your company relies on that bond for two reasons: first, to retain the attention of that employee’s network. Secondly, you keep the employee engaged with your employee advocacy program.

The same applies to how the right voice builds trust with the audience of your brand profiles. But in the case of your employees, their “brand’s” audience consists of people with the strongest of ties: children, spouses, family, friends and colleagues.

Developing an Employee-Centric Brand Voice

The easiest way to create a brand voice for your employees is to use empathy. Here is a simple exercise you can do right now:

  1. Pull up a piece of brand content you would normally want your employees to share.
  2. Write down how your brand profiles might share it on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
  3. Email the content link and the suggested text for each network to yourself.
  4. Open the email and copy the suggested text and link. Then set up the post on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

Before you click the “Share” button (or “Post” or whatever the social networks decide to call it today) ask yourself two questions:

  1. “Does this sound like me?”
  2. “Will my friends and followers on this network think it sounds like me?”

If you can’t answer “yes” to both of those questions, you can’t expect your employees to either. If you’re unsure, then scroll back and read the last 10-15 things you posted on that network. You might be surprised to hear what your own voice “sounds” like on social media.

If you’ve read this far, you’ve likely bought-in for the idea of an employee-centric brand voice that relies on empathy and personal touch. So how do you go about adopting this voice for your employee advocacy program?

Below I’ll share some ideas and techniques that can apply to all industries, even more regulated ones such as:

General Guidelines for Brand Content

Brand content can be broken down into different types such as promotional, earned media, recognition, recruiting, thought leadership, events and more.

For any type of brand content, the key to an employee-centric brand voice is to write suggested post text that makes a connection between the employee and the content being shared.

Remember that some employees won’t have as strong a connection to certain pieces of content as others. Employees might not know the executive who won that prestigious award or that they can’t attend the community event you’re asking to amplify.

This isn’t difficult, but it does require some practice. For example, consider the following two variations of the same statement:

  • Brand-centric: “Read our CMO’s insights on the future of workplace communication in this feature on Forbes.”
  • Employee-centric: “Have you noticed a change in the way people talk to each other at work? Our company’s Chief Marketing Officer has some insights on why.”

Connect Your Employees to the Content Being Shared

There are two things to notice about the example above. First, we made the employee-centric post about the topic of workplace communication, not about the CMO’s placement in the article. Now it doesn’t matter whether you or your network knows the CMO–this post is about the universal (and relatable) topic of changing communication at work.

Use a More ‘Spoken-Word’ Style of Writing

In the employee-centric version, we used a natural-spoken style vs. a headline style. This resonates with our own network of peers, friends and family. We also added a question to spark conversation. If you come across the article on your own, it’s more likely you’d share it with that text than the brand-centric example.

Tactical Tips for Different Types of Brand Content

Here are some more tips for finding the right voice for your employee-shared brand content:

  • Social Recruiting: Word of mouth referral requests on social media typically start like “do you know anyone who…” Use a more informal style of text for job listings and mix them in with posts that highlight the culture and team activities in your company.
  • Causal/Community Initiatives: There is a more emotional and personal connection to this type of content (as well a possible geographic aspect). So let your employees decide on their own if sharing it is right for them. The voice in your post text could focus on how proud or happy they are about what’s being accomplished in the story without being boastful.
  • Case Studies: To make case studies relatable to employees and their networks, focus on the most relevant outcome or feature that contributed to the success of the customer. You can also adapt the outcome or feature being highlighted based on the network the post is being shared to (i.e. LinkedIn vs. Facebook).
  • Recognition: If your company or an individual within achieves some earned media or recognition worth sharing, it’s only relevant to the employee and their networks insofar as they have a connection to the recognition. We also like the tactic of combining recognition posts with a call to action that the company’s hiring.
  • Events: First, limit the visibility of anything event-related to the people attending and those who are in the same geography as the event (for physical events). Then your posts become more relevant to the networks of your employees and give the employees an opportunity to say “come see me at…”
  • Thought Leadership: Here is where you can adopt a more authoritative and polished voice. This is because of the impression your employees will be trying to make with their networks when they share this content.

The takeaway here is to always be thinking about the intent of the post and what’s in it for the reader, not your employee. Then you’ll be able to craft suggested post text for your employee advocates that will spark engagement, generate web traffic and even increase their stature as authorities in their field.

All of that success leads to increased participation, loyalty and advocacy from your employees. So as a reminder, take a second look at how you’re curating content for them to share through your employee advocacy platform and ask yourself, “how can I make this sound more like them?”

💾 Install

TOAST UI products can be used by using the package manager or downloading the source directly. However, we highly recommend using the package manager.

Via Package Manager

TOAST UI products are registered in two package managers, npm and bower. You can conveniently install it using the commands provided by each package manager. When using npm, be sure to use it in the environment Node.js is installed.

$ npm install --save tui-animation# Latest version
$ npm install --save tui-animation@<version> # Specific version

$ bower install tui-animation# Latest version
$ bower install tui-animation#<tag> # Specific version

Via Contents Delivery Network (CDN)

TOAST UI products are available over the CDN powered by TOAST Cloud.

You can use the CDN as below.

<script src=""></script>

If you want to use a specific version, use the tag name instead of latest in the url's path.

The CDN directory has the following structure.

├─ latest/
│  ├─ tui-animation.js
│  └─ tui-animation.min.js
├─ v1.1.0/
│  ├─ ...

Download Source Files

🔨 Usage

This component does not require the container element. You can handle the target element in the callback that is executed during the animation.

This component does not use the instance created through the constructor function. First, you should import the module using one of the following ways depending on your environment.

Using namespace in browser environment

var animation = tui.animation;

Using module format in node environment

var animation = require('tui-animation'); /* CommonJS */
import {animation} from 'tui-animation'; /* ES6 */

Then you should call the anim method with options to set configuration and call the run method to start the animation.

var instance = animation.anim({ ... });;

The Answer is Within:
Using Qigong to Unlock Your Body’s Code and Discover Your Life’s Purpose

with Larry Stoler, PhD
Budding Spring Healing

Your purpose is your birthright. Can you see yourself as you really are—a physical being with unbreakable links to the infinite energy and love of the universe? This is the source of your purpose. Immaterial at first, when you are born it is literally woven into every cell, every molecule of your body. Living your purpose frees you to be who you are meant to be, uniquely you and an inseparable part of all that is.

Though it is within you, discovering your purpose can be elusive. Your mind can trick you and lead you on a frustrating search. At times it can appear that your purpose is inaccessible as if locked away in your body with the password lost.

In this workshop, you’ll learn Qigong practices, methods from the great ancient masters, that provide keys to unlock your body’s wisdom. Qigong can help you go beyond your mind to make a direct connection to your true purpose.

This workshop is open to all. Wear loose comfortable clothes. If you are ready, take this step into a journey of deep self-discovery.

 A whiteboard paint straight out of a tin!

SketchPaint Whiteboard Paint is an alternative to the traditional whiteboard.

SketchPaint Whiteboard Paint turns any smooth surface into a dry-erase whiteboard. You are no longer limited to specific sized whiteboards but can make your entire wall an area to ESTABLISH concepts, ENVISION ideas and EDUCATE your team or class with the versatile SketchPaint.

Can be used on walls, table tops, pillars, doors - anywhere with a smooth flat surface. The flatter the surface, the better the final finish will be.

Ideal for training rooms, meeting rooms, boardrooms and children's bedrooms alike, this flexible product is safe, durable and performs well.

How does it work

SketchPaint is a waterborne paint that is easy to apply and safe to use, it comes delivered in 2 parts that when combined form a durable whiteboard paint.

You simply mix the parts together, paint over a smooth surface and then leave to dry for 5 days, requiring only one coat you have yourself a hassle-free stylish integrated whiteboard.

Because it has no (0%) Volatile Organic Compounds, no smells & no emissions while drying it is friendly to humans & the environment and complies with European Safety regulations.

How much should I buy?

The kits are available in 2 sizes: 3 square metres (500ml) and 6 square meters (1 litre). This provides you with the flexibility to cover any area you require.

It's really easy to calculate how any tins you need. Simply work out how many square meters your area is for example.

If your area is 3.5m wide and 1.5m high, you times both numbers (3.5 x 1.5) and this gives you a square metres area of 5.25sqm

For this area, you would need to purchase one tin of the 6 square metre version, and you would have some left over to paint elsewhere.

If your area comes out at more than one tin don't worry! You can mix multiple tins together to cover bigger areas.

This version of the product dries with a WHITE finish. We also offer the product in a Transparent finish which can be applied to any colour wall to achieve a dry erase, colour surface.

For application process please see the details tab. The paint is safe for use indoors; it has 0% Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), no smells or emissions.

Once cured, the dry erase surface will accept most dry erase marker pens. For best results, we recommend using the SketchPaint pens and regular cleaning with the Sketch Cleaner (see related items below).

If you are using non-SketchPaint pens, we advise testing the pens on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure no ghosting occurs.

How much do I need to order?

3 square metre kits have a 500ml capacity.
6 square metre kits have a 1 litre capacity.

Each kit contains the 2 tins needed to mix which form the SketchPaint.

If you need any help working out how many tins you need, please contact our team or email sales@gmav.co.uk

The smoother the surface on which you apply the paint, the smoother the finished whiteboard wall will be, any imperfections will be magnified.

Sketch Paint should be applied using a SHORT NAP ROLLER.

Coverage must always be maintained at a maximum of 3m² per 0.5L tin with one coat. Stretching the paint too thin will give a patchy and uneven finish, resulting in some areas being dry-wipe and some not. Applying the paint too thickly will cause the paint to run and streak.

You must allow a minimum of 5 days before writing on the surface with a good quality dry wipe markers to ensure the paint has fully cured. Writing on the surface before 5 days has passed will result in the area being stained and marked.

If you need any clarification please contact us PRIOR to installation.

PostgreSQL is an excellent open-source database control system, which has been growing in level of popularity lately because of its stability and dependability. It offers many innovative functions and it could be used to save any sort of information. PostgreSQL could be interfaced with many different programming languages, including PHP, Python, Perl, Java, C++, Ruby, and many others. In addition, it can be used for scalable apps as a single field inside a PostgreSQL database may be up to 1 GB, a table - up to 32 GB, while the database in general doesn't have a limit for its total size. PostgreSQL also functions swifter than other SQL control systems when complicated operations are executed. Lots of large firms and institutions have already migrated to PostgreSQL for their sites or products - Apple, Cisco, the US State Department, the University of California, Berkeley, and others.

PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Shared Hosting

You may use applications which need PostgreSQL databases with each and every Linux shared hosting that we provide. The amount of databases that you may have at the same time varies and with some packages you'll need to acquire an extra upgrade, while with others the amount is between 5 and unlimited by default. Should you ever require more databases compared to what the plan you have chosen offers, you may upgrade this feature via the Upgrades part of your Control Panel. Provided you have a free slot, you could create a new PostgreSQL database with a few clicks inside the Databases section of your account and in the same place you could also access phpPgAdmin - a feature-rich software instrument that'll offer you 100 % control over all of your databases and it will enable you to export or import an entire database or only a part of it easily.

PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to host your Internet sites inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to use any script application that needs PostgreSQL databases as all of our plans support this database system. Through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which is the control tool for each semi-dedicated account, you shall be able to set up a completely new PostgreSQL database with only two mouse clicks. Since the number of databases varies in accordance with the plan that you select during the signup process, you will be able to upgrade this feature effortlessly from the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. You will also be able to access the highly effective phpPgAdmin tool to manage the content of any PostgreSQL database that you set up inside your account through a user-friendly web interface.

Live Life Intentionally

Time is one of the richest of commodities. Ditch your television. Spend time intentionally. Enjoy nature. Exercise. Invest hours in relationships: with God, spouse, friends, interests, and volunteering. If you want things to happen and they aren’t, change what you’re doing.  Pursue passions and goals ambitiously. Remember laughter cures blues. Dance crazy. Don’t take life so seriously. If life throws some lemons, fling poo; as a dear friend would say. Crying is not for sissies, sometimes it’s necessary for gaining perspective. Build others up, don’t knock them down. Forgive when need be, and love often. Live simply because things become clutter and people are what’s important. Eat healthfully and break bread with others. A life lived intentionally is a life lived with purpose. Pursue happiness!

Federal Employees Spent 3.4 Million Hours Working for Unions

Not only are we being taxed to death and spent into financial oblivion, but now we are paying Federal workers to spend time working for unions. As we all know, unions are in the pocket of the Democrats.

The Democrats make concessions to the unions. The unions collect forced dues from union workers. Those fees are used to support Democrat candidates. If you want to know what the fuss was about in Wisconsin, it was this sort of back-room dealing that the unions did not want to stop. The reason the unions and the Democrats ganged up on Scott Walker was because he threatened to put an end to this sweetheart deal.

The Office of Personnel Management released its annual Labor-Management Relations: Reports of Official Time. It shows that government workers spend some of their time on the job working for increased union power. This is illegal. It’s called stealing.

Trending: The ‘Hamas Caucus’: The Five Anti-Israel Women That Democrats elected to Congress

So instead of only being paid for the job they were hired to do, they use a portion of their time promoting union goals that end up costing taxpayers money. Some of the “official time” is “time spent by Federal employees performing representational work for a bargaining unit in lieu of their regularly assigned work.” In other words, Federal union workers spend time on the job doing union work instead of the job they were hired to do.

The law states that Federal union workers are forbidden to strike. To get around this prohibition, they take time from their jobs that you and I pay for with confiscated money and use it for union activities that empower elected officials to take additional money from us to empower unions. “It’s a mad house. A mad house!”

“During FY 2011, unions represented 1,202,733 non-Postal Federal civil service bargaining unit employees, an increase of 17,048 bargaining unit employees compared to FY 2010. Agencies reported that bargaining unit employees spent a total of 3,395,187 hours performing representational duties on official time, an increase of 9.66 percent compared to FY 2010. Government-wide, the number of official time hours used per bargaining unit employee on representational matters increased from 2.61 hours in FY 2010 to 2.82 hours during FY 2011.”

If this type of activity went on in a private business, the employees would be fired.

Don’t think this has only been going on since Obama took office. As expected, the activity has increased under his tenure as president. State and federal union workers have been subverting politics for a long time. And why not? For every person they help get elected, their union power increases and the coffers of the Democrats are enlarged.

It’s time some legal entity takes up this cause to put a stop to it. Any takers? A case like this would anger the majority of Americans like it did in Wisconsin. We might even get some money back. 3.4 million hours times $15 per hour is a lot of money for the unions to have to pay back.
