The honest broker
It really is a choice, one or the other.
Either you happily recommend the best option for your customer, or you give preference to your own items first.
Either you believe in what you sell, or you don't.
Either you treat your best partners better, or you treat everyone the same.
Either you shade the truth when it's painful to do otherwise, or you consistently share what's important.
Either you always keep your promises or you don't.
Either you give me the best price the first time, or you make me jump through hoops to get there.
Earning the position of the honest broker is time-consuming and expensive. Losing it takes just a moment.

"Here you are, about to play a game that the world says is the most important thing in the world. Win and they praise you. Lose and they crush you. And here I have a chance to talk to the coolest, most courageous people. It puts it all into perspective. The game doesn’t really matter. I mean, I’ll give 100 percent of my heart to win it, but in the end, the thing I most want to do is not win championships or make a lot of money, it’s to invest in people’s lives, to make a difference.”

(James Smith, "The Believer's Companion in Seasons of Affliction and Trouble" 1842)
What an ocean of glory is here!"Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory!" Romans 8:17
The spiritual mind is like a bird locked up in a cage, while burdened with a body of sin and death. We cannot do the things that we desire--so we long, pant, and pray for liberty. Liberty, glorious liberty is before us!Perfect and entire freedom from all sin--and temptation to sin! Every corruption will be slain, and completely rooted out of body and soul! No dark clouds of ignorance will any more hover over the understanding. No sinful or selfish principles will any more influence the will. No corroding guilt will again obtain a place in the conscience. No unworthy objects will be presented, or have power to captivate any of the affections. No profane or forbidden subjects will any more be found in the memory.Reason will be correctly informed. "Now we know in part, and prophesy in part--but then shall we know even as also we are known."
Holiness will enter into the very nature of body and soul!
We shall be separated completely and forever, from everything that is painful, defiling, or injurious--and united closely and forever to all that is holy, happy, and beneficial.
Tried believer! What an ocean of glory is here! Adam's paradise was nothing compared to this! All things are yours! God is yours! Heaven is yours! The glory of Jesus is yours!Your end will be glorious--though your present situation is painful and distressing. You will soon be delivered . . .
from every fear,
from every foe,
from every impediment, and
from evil in every shape and form! "No eye has seen,
no ear has heard, and
no mind has imagined--
what God has prepared for those who love Him!"
1 Corinthians 2:9

“He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.” (John 1:10).
While performing at the Kraft Music Hall in 1941, Bing Crosby sang “White Christmas”, a song by Irvin Berlin, and unexpectedly produced the best selling single of all time. There is scarcely anyone today who is not familiar with the old-fashioned melody, for it surfaces each year with the same nostalgic force it unleashed that first December all those years ago.
But things are notably different in our world today. Especially when it comes to Christmas; and specifically when it comes to Christ. The political/social climate of our world is increasingly hostile to anything Christian, and much is being done to exclude Christ from all public forums.
Once again we see the truth of John’s ancient words, “He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not” (John 1:10). John does go on to tell us that, even though the world does not accept Jesus, there are those who do. And God gives them “the power to become childern of God” (john 1:12).
So, here’s a gift from me to you. A Christmas prayer, really. I wrote this to express not only what’s in my heart, but also in the hearts of millions throughout our world today.
Take the old tune “White Christmas” and sing the following words as an expression of your faith and hope during these Holy Days. And may this rise as a prayer to Heaven, which moves God to act on our behalf and answer it even while the words are on our lips!
I’m praying for a Christ Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know.
With the Babe in the manger,
People being friends with strangers,
And helping every needy soul.I’m praying for a Christ Christmas
Just like it was that holy night.
May your days be filled with God’s light
And may all your Christmases have Christ.May God fill your life with all the treasures that are hid in Christ, as you do your part to openly make Him known to others!

Denard Robinson’s Twitter Was Hacked, Likely By His (Ex) Girlfriend Who Called the Michigan QB a “Liar and Manipulator”
College Football, Twitter TheBigLead October 6th. 2011, 12:56pm
Denard Robinson, Michigan’s talented QB, hadn’t tweeted since September 20th. Then, this morning, a flurry of bizarre tweets from his account hit the web and his number of followers soared.
Robinson’s girlfriend (ex?) hacked his account (see below). She dropped many allegations about how the QB changed as a person and cheated on her. The female (unnamed) admitted to hacking Robinson’s account and LOL’d about it. Men everywhere (married guys, included) – your girlfriend/jump-off/wife/fiancee should not have any of your pivotal passwords (email, Facebook, twitter, etc). Kindly remedy this, now.
The tweets have been deleted (it looks like Robinson just deleted his account and started over), but they were up long enough for the world to see. For Robinson, it probably felt like getting pantsed in gym class, and struggling to pull up your boxers. Here’s a screen grab:

Rookie mistake by him. Shocked that he would “cheat”. Just shocked.
“Reap what you sew” indeed.
Hell hath no fury, etc.

In the newest episode…was the scene of the three guys in the car cranking it hilarious? Or was it unfunny?My buddy and I are arguing about this, and I need an outside reference.

Another person who improperly says “I can/could care less”. Sigh.
Seems like a cool chick.
Looks like his password got intercepted.

You’re better than this, TBL. I demand to immediately know her name and have a link to her Facebook page.

sad thing is there were some people in my college class who graduated with a major in english and a minor in literature who still wrote like this.

My guess is that it’s the karmic fallout from playing that night game.

This. Facebook and Twitter are pivotal passwords? Yeesh.
Also, girlfriends, one night stands, friends with benefits, etc. should have no passwords, ‘pivotal’ or otherwise. Wives, why not? What do you care?

Another vote for funny.
Anyone know the name of the chick that played the temp on Workaholics?
Cheating on your girlfriend is weak. Just break up with her and move on the the next chick. Keeps shit like this (or much worse) from happening.
/chicks are crazy
Wives, why not? What do you care?
I think it’s that if she wants it or has to have it because of some trust issue that’s the problem.
I was just fucking them girls! I was gonna be right back!
I would love to see the responses from his followers. I’m sure it was a great combination of confusion and hilarity.
hey Vlad, I’m happy with the Sabres choice for captain. I would have given it to Pomm or Vanek so it works for me.
It’s not really ‘hacking’ if you type in 3 or 4 passwords before getting access.

Yup. I know my hubby’s email password, not cause I asked for it, but because he asked me to look up something for him once. Its not like I spy on it. But yeah, crazy college girlfriends, probably not a good idea. I bet his password was something stupid like ‘shoelaces’ anyway.
Ahh, a scorned jersey chaser.
I think it’s that if she wants it or has to have it because of some trust issue that’s the problem.
Ah, that does make sense. If she’s berating you for it because she doesn’t trust you, that would be a problem. The context of this post seemed to be more ‘don’t give it to her because bitches be crazy.’
My wife has all of mine because they’re all the same and actually important passwords (banking, etc.) are ones we share and I gave it to her to look up stuff.

There ya go. The Wife has been given mine on several occassions to do the same. But she’s never asked to have access.
FYI — If you google “Denard Robinson Girlfriend” on the first page of images are both Tate Forcier and A.C. Slater.

Bolland is out for our opener, Vlad. Another year of depth down the middle biting Chicago in the ass. I hope it’s not his back. Thankfully we open against Dallas and they’re terrible.

that stupid cartoon is right, though. It makes you add things numbers and symbols and capital letters. You can’t use a 4 word phrase like that, because you need to have an ampersand in there for “security” reasons. It’s asinine.
Thankfully we open against Dallas and they’re terrible.
We get the Sens! NHL scheduling is the worst, the worst. Sucks about Bolland. You must be thrilled that the majority of analysts are picking the Hawks to win it all

Funny. Especially when the one dude was just stripping down and then grabbed like a handful of car wax
I’ve heard mostly Sharks, Capitals and Penguins. I even saw something today picking Nashville to win the Central. The fuck?
I don’t think Penguins have a shot unless Crosby comes back

Did you hear that the Red Wings are too old?
I gotta buddy who cheats on his baby moms all the time but doesn’t delete numbers/lock his phone/even make attempts to not get caught. She’s hacked into his Facebook a half dozen times and airs their entire dirty laundry. And I don’t know why, but it’s comical.

Byslma is the best coach(Sorry Babs). They have Malkin and it’s not like Crosby was unstoppable either of the back 2 back years they made it to the SCF.

I’ve been married for four months now and I don’t know any of my wife’s passwords or anything security related and same for her and my stuff. We like it that way.

I suggest lastpass or keepass to store your passwords. If storing your passwords online makes you feel uneasy, download TrueCrypt(free) and store all your sensitive info in an encrypted partition that even the FBI can’t crack.

Sucks when I’d come off a long hoolihan only to realize I had to changed my work password 2 millions brain cells ago and can’t figure out which letter is capitalized. Used to happen monthly until I paid the it guy a visit explaining how both ares lives will be easier if you fuck off with that.
