Continue your search for the truth but remember one thing--all things are possible.

I would have hoped you would have learned by now. No matter, a man who refuses to face his destiny offers himself to the GOD of chance—and chance is a wayward bitch.

You are one, and we are many, We are everywhere and nowhere at the same time. We are the face of justice.

You heard me. A creature from another world, a dark world, lurks the halls of Hellgate, tormenting victims at will. A grotesque, gnarled, twisted creature, with thick iron stakes impaled into its body, whip marks across its chest and back-- the beast got inside my brain.

Monster? Monster, you say?” He scratched his chest, blood dripping from what seemed to be an old wound. “No, my friend. I have SEEN real monsters. I have faced real darkness, heart beating out of your chest with death all around you. The stench of piss and shit as men empty themselves in their final moments. I have experienced real terror. Terror, a simple man like you, could never fathom

Have you ever thought about why GOD did it? Why tempt such fragile beings in the first place? Did GOD give the race of man free will, knowing that they would use that will to defy him, or to take it a step further since GOD knows all, did he know that Adam and Eve would eat the forbidden fruit, allowing him to cast them out of paradise to toil and suffer for a living.

A spark is exactly what it means. An igniting of something that spreads, and soon it becomes difficult to contain. The sparks, in this case, represent sin, not just any sin, a major undertaking of evil that spreads and infects life, changing the way humans live forever." " The Everlasting protects man for six of these catastrophes, but once there is a seventh, well… anything goes." "I’m not destroying man; I’m saving man--from themselves.

We are Knights of the Trinity, Angels of the Third Realm of Heaven Warriors of The Almighty Defenders of Righteousness, Truth. And Justice Protectors of the Weak and Downtrodden Guardians of the realms of men.

We are the Chosen Twelve, the Blessed, the Mighty War-riors of the Everlasting Order Hazah! Hazah! Hazah!

In the end, leaders don't decide who leads. Followers do.

He joined Jude in the kitchen and began making a salad, and JB slumped to the dining-room table and started flipping through a novel Jude had left there. "I read this," he called over to him. "Do you want to know what happens in the end?" "No, JB," said Jude. "I'm only halfway through." "The minister character dies after all." "JB!" After that, JB's mood seemed to improve.

The question is which one of us is the frog and which is the toad,' Willem had said after they'd first seen the show, in JB's studio, and read the kindhearted books to each other late that night, laughing helplessly as they did. He'd smiled; they had been lying in bed. 'Obviously, I'm the toad,' he said. 'No,' Willem said, 'I think you're the frog; your eyes are the same color as his skin.' Willem sounded so serious that he grinned. 'That's your evidence?' he asked. 'And so what do you have in common with the toad?' 'I think I actually have a jacket like the one he has,' Willem said, and they began laughing again.

successful leadership takes conscious development and requires being true to your life story.

I honestly believe that in this day and age of informational ubiquity and nanosecond change, teamwork remains the one sustainable competitive advantage that has been largely untapped.

With books, you can have as many boyfriends as you want, and no one gets upset, jealous or calls you out for cheating. It’s a win-win.

The son knows about himself as a masculine figure through the eyes of the mother, not the eyes of the father.

Don’t worry about what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive. —HOWARD THURMAN

The reality is that no one can be authentic by trying to be like someone else. There is no doubt you can learn from their experiences, but there is no way you can be successful trying to be like them. People trust you when you are genuine and authentic, not an imitation.

Because when a team recovers from an incident of destructive conflict, it builds confidence that it can survive such an event, which in turn builds trust. This is not unlike a husband and wife recovering from a big argument and developing closer ties and greater confidence in their relationship as a result.

I was O negative and so were the other scientists they grabbed. They matched us based on blood because they hadn’t made all the connections with energy yet.

I remember that night quite well, the night I died.

We normally exist as pure energy until we materialize in these vessels you see now.

You mean you actually like insurance policies, the health board, balancing the books, and the IRS?

Life is like a book. You read one page at a time, and hope for a good ending.

Life is like a book. You read one page at a time, and hope for a good ending.” ― J.B. Taylor

Most people are driven by fear or by avoidance of pain. Only a few are driven by the benefits.

Interestingly, one of the most important times to listen well is when you disagree with the message, especially as it relates to how we affect others.

Self-reliant loners, who think they can do everything on their own, often make fatal mistakes and decisions.

The capacity to develop close and enduring relationships is one mark of a leader.

The seven manifestations of broken bonding are psychosomatic illness, violence and aggression, addiction, depression, burnout, stress reaction, and organizational conflict.

True North is the internal compass that guides you successfully through life.

Pursuing purpose with passion • Practicing solid values • Leading with heart • Establishing enduring relationships • Demonstrating self-discipline

Managers can threaten people with the loss of jobs if they don't get with the program, but threats, power, and position do not earn commitment. They earn compliance.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. —HELEN KELLER

He will avoid the home and family life, which is the location which he feels the least successful overall due to his lack of adequate role-modeling and his lack in communication skills.

If team members are never pushing one another outside of their emotional comfort zones during discussions, then it is extremely likely that they’re not making the best decisions for the organization.

Churches don’t make the gospel true. It is true even when the household of God behaves badly. But people can see that it is true, and doubters are converted when “the sweetness of the Lord” is upon us (Ps. 90:17, JB).

Fortunately, ideas already exist for how to achieve every aspect of deconsumer society that appears in this book. Lifespan labeling can encourage product durability: new tax regimes and regulations can favour repair over disposability, job-sharing programs and shorter work days or work weeks can keep people employed in a slower, smaller economy. Redistribution of wealth can reverse income inequality, or prevent it from worsening in a lower-consuming world.

They were not actively mentoring and encouraging individuality in the child.  The child learned how to survive, but not how to thrive.  They carried these survival mechanisms into adulthood, and never stopped to realize that this was no way to live.

The photo had been taken at the opening of JB's fifth, long-delayed show, 'Frog and Toad,' which had been exclusively images of the two of them, but very blurred, and more abstract than JB's previous work. (They hadn't quite known what to think of the series title, though JB had claimed it was affectionate. 'Arnold Lobel?' he had screeched at them when they asked him about it. 'Hello?!' But neither he nor Willem had read Lobel's books as children, and they'd had to go out and buy them to make sense of the reference.)

The fundamental attribution error is simply this: human beings tend to falsely attribute the negative behaviors of others to their character (an internal attribution), while they attribute their own negative behaviors to their environment (an external attribution).

Contrary to popular myth, great teams are not characterized by an absence of conflict. On the contrary, in my experience, one of the most reliable indicators of a team that is continually learning is the visible conflict of ideas. In great teams conflict becomes productive.”1

For centuries oatsΔ were used as animal food. When evidence-based science researched oats and found that they help reduce cholesterol in humans and that they contained complex carbohydrates, protein, minerals, vitamins, and soluble and insoluble fiber, their use became popular.

Ironically, for peer-to-peer accountability to become a part of a team’s culture, it has to be modeled by the leader. That’s right. Even though I said earlier that the best kind of accountability is peer-to-peer, the key to making it stick is the willingness of the team leader to do something I call “enter the danger” whenever someone needs to be called on their behavior or performance. That means being willing to step right into the middle of a difficult issue and remind individual team members of their responsibility, both in terms of behavior and results. But most leaders I know have a far easier time holding people accountable for their results than they do for behavioral issues. This is a problem because behavioral problems almost always precede results. That means team members have to be willing to call each other on behavioral issues, as uncomfortable as that might be, and if they see their leader balk at doing this, then they aren’t going to do it themselves.

It would be more accurate to say that we see with our brain rather than with our eyes. However, the more interesting point is that the brain does not always need to receive information through the eyes in order to “see.” It can recall sights, sounds, and feelings from memory and run the whole sequence like a movie, all inside our head, in the mind’s eye.

The trend is for the following new coffee drinks: espresso, a shot of hot strong caffè served in a small cup with hot cream and sweetener; cappuccino, a blend of espresso and steamed and foamed hot milk; caffè latte, same ingredients as cappuccino but with more steamed and less foamed milk; and cafe mocha, mostly steamed milk with a shot of espresso and mocha syrup. All these coffees may have cinnamon, chocolate, plus additional flavors added.Δ

I’ve been thinking, JB wrote. When you fall in love with a book, is it the character or the author you’re falling in love with? HungryGhost: I mean, I guess both? JB: And only one of them is real. True, I admitted. JB: And the fake one is the only one you get to actually know. But you can kind of feel the author under there, beneath the surface of the fake world you’re inhabiting. Their imagination is the water you’re swimming in, the air you’re breathing. They’ve made every table and every chair and every person in the whole book. I couldn’t breathe. JB: I’m just saying, even if everything you wrote me was a lie (and I know, not ALL of it was a lie, but even if it was!), then in some sense I would still know you, at least as well as I feel I know Neal Stephenson or William Gibson or whatever, and honestly, I feel like I know them better than I know anyone in the world. Do you know what I mean?

This is an important list at the heart of phonics instruction. It alphabetically lists 99 single phonemes (speech sounds) and consonant blends (usually two phonemes), and it gives example words for each of these; often for their use in the beginning, middle, and end of words. These example words are also common English words, many taken from the list of Instant Words. This list solves the problem of coming up with a good common word to illustrate a phonics principle for lessons and worksheets.

Birthday parties and events will be thrown for the child to elicit admiration and attention from others.  However, the child will be punished, berated and humiliated in the middle of the party in front of an audience if they behave against the expectations of the self-absorbed mother.  The party only serves to generate additional narcissistic supply for the mother, not a pleasurable event for the child.  Events are scheduled, changed, and cancelled in order to exert and announce control over the child.  They make it very apparent to the child that the mother can both give pleasure and take pleasure away by these means. 

I wanted to keep going, not because I knew what we were doing or where it was going. It was like I had become addicted to it. There was a purity to our messaging that I found intoxicating. We’d been working our way through grade school, trying to remember everything we could about each year, our teachers and classmates, our lunch boxes and backpacks, the books we read, what we did at recess, our favorite toys. It felt like I could touch the sublime by memorizing all of JB’s memories. Wouldn’t that be a beautiful human achievement? To learn everything about a person you would never meet? I wrote: The thing is, writing these messages with you has become the most interesting thing I get to do. JB: Yes, that’s the same problem I’m having. HungryGhost: So why is that a problem again? JB: Aside from the staggering financial impact, I just feel weird. I don’t even know your name.

Anyone who’s ever been in a leadership role quickly learns that you’re squeezed between others’ lofty expectations and your own personal limitations. You realize that while others want you to be of impeccable character, you’re not always without fault. You learn that you can’t see around every corner, and even if you know your way forward everyone may not end up at the same destination, let alone be on time. You discover that despite your best efforts to introduce brilliant innovations, most of them don’t succeed. You find that you sometimes get angry and short, and that you don’t always listen carefully to what others have to say. You’re reminded that you don’t always treat everyone with dignity and respect. You recognize that others deserve more credit than they get, and that you’ve failed to say thank you. You know that sometimes you get, and accept, more credit than you deserve. In other words, you realize that you’re human.

MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS The effective ones are the one-man shows.The institutional ones are disastrous. They waste time, cost money, demoralize and distract your best people, and don’t solve problems. They are people who borrow your watch to tell you what time it is and then walk off with it. Don’t use them under any circumstances. Not even to keep your stockholders and directors quiet. It isn’t worth it. Many organizations who’ve been through it will react promptly, thoroughly, and effectively to the threat: “If you fellows don’t get shaped up in thirty days so you’re a credit to the rest of the company, I’m going to call in Booz, Allen.

Maybe when you take her to the hospital, she should see someone to answer her questions? Like a professional instead of a porn book?

Usas.

(JB’s mind is like an open book with maybe two words per page.)

Fortunately, ideas already exist for how to achieve every aspect of deconsumer society that appears in this book. Lifespan labeling can encourage product durability: new tax regimes and regulations can favour repair over disposability, job-sharing programs and shorter work days or work weeks can keep people employed in a slower, smaller economy. Redistribution of wealth can reverse income inequality, or prevent it from worsening in a lower-consuming world. I set out on my thought experiment as an observer, I wanted to see for myself where a world that stops shopping would lead, rather than be guided by others' theories. In the end, both approaches arrive at the same place. Movements for degrowth and a well-being economy-one measured not by GDP but by its ability to improve the quality of life of citizens-have been steadily refining a set of ideas and ways of life that could free us from the need for relentless, and relentlessly damaging, economic expansion. The alternative to consumer capitalism is not a constellation of possibilities, but increasingly a convergence.

I’m serious. There’s nothing wrong with your face.” Her sadness morphs into a brutal chill. “Says the guy with the perfect face.

People stare at them like they forget there’s a whole human being attached to them who has feelings and a beating heart.

laughed. “How did your mom put it when we went down south last year?” Darlene slapped her knee. “Well, she always said I’ve got a personality like a jalapeño milkshake—it's a wild ride, and you're never quite sure if you're laughin' or cryin'. JB, on the other hand, well, she had a couple for old JB.” She made her voice older, creakier. “JB is like a biscuit without gravy, plain and simple, but you still can't help but eat 'em up.” Austin and Anna both laughed. “Oh, she had plenty,” Darlene continued. “Though my personal favorite was, JB is like grits without salt or butter. A bit flavorless, but they’ll fill ya nonetheless.

George MacDonald is central to a Scottish tradition tormented by theology and with its roots in two worlds. He has been described as a link between John Galt and the kailyard, and his social novels, of which he wrote a good many, are certainly that. To my mind his deeper life is not in these solid, moralistic books, but in the stories usually described as fantasies. The most formidable of these is Lilith, one of the most ambitious books in Scottish literature. It aims to project a total metaphysical vision of the universe, in which evil gives way at last to good through repentance; even the Devil will finally repent.

In Confessions of a Justified Sinner James Hogg is neither identified with, nor overwhelmed by, the darkness of the universe, nor does he suffer from hatred or despair. He sees the cause of Wringhim's disintegration as an inner weakness which chooses to identify with false doctrine. Since Wringhim lives in illusion, he is easy meat for a master practitioner of it. Hogg himself, on the other hand, is confident of his personal wholeness. He repudiates extreme doctrine from a basis of robust common sense, and his recognition of the power of the diabolical sublime does not endanger his own sense of solid worth. He retains a forthright good-will which shows itself in cheerful endorsement of those characters in the book who accept life and enjoy themselves.

Of course freedom for Hyde proves another form of bondage for Jekyll, just as in Hogg's book Wringham's 'Election' results not in liberation, as he imagines, but slavery to Gil-martin. For Jekyll as for Wringham there is a continual development and deterioration, so that in the end he finds himself going to sleep as Jekyll and waking as Hyde, with no control over events. He is mortally afraid that 'the balance of my nature might be permanently overthrown, the power of voluntary change be forfeited, and the character of Edward Hyde become irrevocably mine.

Life is like a book. You read one page at a time, and hope for a good ending.

The foodservice director is responsible for developing food quality standards (as described in Chapter 4), implementing those standards, and following procedures to control the quality and quantity of food provided.

The food production systems used most commonly today are classified as cook and serve (conventional), cook and chill, cook and freeze, and assembly and serve (convenience) (Figure 20.1).

Menu selections can be more varied, particularly when menu items are individually portioned before chilling or freezing. It is possible to offer a restaurant-style and spoken menu when production does not take place on the same day as service.

Many operations are reluctant to abandon the option of on-premises production in case the quality, availability, or cost of the prepared items fails to meet expected standards.

It is important that ingredient proportions never be changed when recipes are increased or decreased, although mixing and cooking times should be adjusted as necessary.

There are four ways to adjust a recipe: adjusting the number of portions yielded, changing the size of the portions, yielding a specific number of portions of a specific size, or changing the amount of an ingredient.

To convert decimal fractions to the next smallest weight unit, use the following as a guide. To obtain ounces from pounds, multiply by 16. Example: 6.7 pounds is calculated as follows: 0.7 × 16 = 11, or 6 pounds 11 ounces. To obtain cups from quarts, multiply by 4. Example: 3.29 quarts is equal to: 0.29 × 4 = 1.16, or 3 quarts 1.16 cups or about 3 1/4 quarts. To obtain cups from gallons, multiply by 16. Example: 2.85 gallons is equal to: 0.85 × 16 = 13.6 cups, or 2 gallons 13 1/2 cups. To obtain tablespoons from cups, multiply by 16. Example: 2.6 cups is equal to: 0.6 × 16 = 9.6 tablespoons, or about 2 cups 9 1/2 tablespoons.

The objectives of food production are to destroy harmful bacteria (food safety); increase digestibility; change and enhance flavor, form, texture, aroma, and color; and protect the nutritive value of the food, following all policies and procedures to maintain quality.

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) provides safe food handling tips.

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) provides safe food handling tips. The program titled Fight BAC™ provides four guidelines to keep food safe: 1. Clean—Wash hands and work surfaces often. 2. Separate—Don’t cross contaminate. 3. Cook—Cook to proper temperature. 4. Chill—Refrigerate promptly.

Experiments with the heavy foil wrapping of beef roasts have shown that cooking time is increased, cooking losses are higher, and the meat is less tender.

Slacking is the process of moderating the temperature of frozen foods before preparation such as deep fat frying. For example, if you are deep fat frying an item that is frozen you should bring the item up from 0°F to approximately 32°F.

In a cook-and-chill production system, a specially designed quick-chilling refrigerator should be used to bring hot foods containing meat down to 41°F within four hours. After chilling, the foods should be stored at 32°F to 38°F (0°C to 3°C) and used within 48 hours to avoid safety risks and loss of palatability.

The most widely marketed poultry—broiler-fryer chickens, turkeys, Cornish game hens, ducks, and geese—are all young, tender birds. For that reason, broiling, frying, and roasting are the preferred preparation methods.

Darkening of bones and meat around the bones occurs primarily in young broiler-fryer chickens (6 to 8 weeks old). The bones have not calcified or hardened completely, so pigment from the bone marrow seeps through the bones and into the surrounding area. Freezing also contributes to this darkening. This is an aesthetic issue, not a safety one.

The storeroom should be equipped with a scale that is capable of weighing items up to 200 to 500 pounds, along with a smaller scale for weighing smaller items.

About two or three watts of light per square foot of floor area is recommended, with fixtures centered over the aisles.

Products should be stored 6 to 10 inches above the floor, 2 inches from the wall, and 18 inches from overhead sprinklers.

Food stored in refrigerators should be covered, labeled, and dated. The maximum time to store open containers of food is two to three days.

Although a humidity level as low as 65 percent is suggested for some products, a range between 80 and 95 percent is recommended for most foods.

Four reasons have been cited for maintaining accurate inventory records: 1. To provide data for cost control 2. To assist in identifying purchasing needs 3. To provide accurate information on type and quantity of food and supplies on hand 4. To monitor usage of products and prevent theft and pilferage

Most foodservice operations try to turn over inventory from two to eight times per month.

Once slow-moving products have been identified, if possible, they should be incorporated into the menu as “specials of the day.

Several types of inventory records are maintained in an effort to monitor food cost, determine purchase quantity, and identify inventory levels to maintain. Six of them are outlined in the following subsections: valuing inventory, the “ABC method,” fixed-item inventory, par stock system, “mini-max system,” and economic order quantity.

Examples of each class of items are: A items: Meat, frozen convenience entrees, seafood B items: Dairy products, china C items: Staples (beans, flour, and sugar), breakfast cereals, paper products

The meat can be purchased fresh or frozen, cooked or raw, plain or breaded, and canned. Shellfish purchased live in the shell must be kept alive until cooked. Buyers of fresh shellfish should be well acquainted with their source of supply and should check to make sure that the products have been harvested from uncontaminated waters.Δ

Specification for Fish and Shellfish When developing specifications for fresh or frozen fish and shellfish, the following information should be included:Δ Species (kind) of fish or shellfish—must be specific Origin—freshwater, saltwater, or farm raised The PUFI seal or grading stamp, if applicable (USDC grade and inspection stamp) Market form or portion shape and size Raw or precooked, plain or breaded Chilled or frozen Quantity per package Additives such as sulfites or tripolyphosphates; if no additives permitted, state in specification Seafood comes from an HACCP-certified plant, inspected by USD of Commerce, Seafood Inspection Service Only varieties that are controlled by the Fishery Laws of the United States will be accepted Style and size Substitutions must be approved by the foodservice before delivery Certificate must be given for each order of seafood and product must be traceable

On the Pacific Coast, salmon usually is sold by species name because of the differences in color, texture, and flavor among species. Chinook (or king) salmon, for example, which ranges in color from white to deep salmon, is the highest-quality salmon and therefore the highest priced. Little of this salmon is canned because most is sold fresh or smoked. Sockeye is the reddest of all varieties, is of high quality, and also is high in price. Silver, medium-red, or Coho salmon, usually a rich orange color slightly touched with red, is widely used for canning. Pink or humpback salmon is lighter in color but has excellent flavor and is good for use in many combination recipes. Chum or keta salmon is light colored and bland in flavor.Δ

Specifications for canned fish should state the species and variety, packing medium, style of pack, size of can, and number of cans per case. Some sample specifications include:Δ Tuna, solid pack, fancy white meat (albacore), water pack, six 64-ounce cans per case Tuna, solid pack, fancy light meat, water pack, 24 6 1/2-ounce cans per case Salmon, pink, PUFI, six 64-ounce cans per case

Never thaw chickens or turkey on a counter nor overnight on a counter. To hasten the thawing process, remove the neck and giblets from the internal neck cavity of whole fowl.Δ

Cut-up pieces frequently cost more due to labor cost, developed specifications for whole poultry carcasses and parts.Δ
