Whether we’re talking a mind-controlling cult, a propagandist oppressive regime, or even the mind games of a sociopath in their immediate relationships, the rule is the same: The party line will sound great, but have a hidden meaning to open the door to totalitarian manipulation and control. In true Orwellian style, you will find such [...]
This is only a test …
I first heard about “Avatar” from a dear friend whose mom started getting involved. It sounded familiar, but I had no idea what or who they were. I did some preliminary searching on Google, and one thing led to another. Various concerns were addressed with heavy doses of objective fact finding — often unwelcome as [...]
This isn’t a specificlly BNI book — it grabs from a whole bunch of experts in networking and other fields and covers every topic you could think of, from how to get the most out of conventions to how to dress to lessons from parenting. I wish I had read this years ago! My business [...]
Review I never read this book before, even though I was in BNI a couple years back. I was still on vacation last week, so I actually read much of it at the Erie County Fair on a blanket outside the Grange building. It started off sounding like a “party line” history of BNI, but [...]

Many of the things I got from our meeting aren’t easily put into words, or are more general ideas than specific plans … and that was fine. I’ll mention a few things here — sort of like minutes. Feel free to add your own. Anything outside of what we discussed, please start another discussion topic [...]
This board is for planning only. We’ll probably have a general community board someday, but this one is just for us. Here’s we’ll define the direction we are called to move in. Just remember, you have to be logged in to see or use this board.
Okay … the site is naked right now, but here's a taste or at least some ideas of what might be coming … A site that gives advice for dealing with people who are inconsiderate when parking. A site where you can buy “tickets” to put on people's cars and even a “Parking Police” badge [...]
I'm down to a shirt a week or less now … Not hoping for conflict or anything, but if it happens, interest in the shirts will no doubt skyrocket, especially if it involves North Korea or Iran. (I don't want to have to change the shirt!) You know, I keep thinking if I could have [...]
The address is pending the major reorganization of server space, but will probably be totalwar.kentropolis.com. The draft of the site is done, and will follow the finishing of the first draft of the directions to the game…
