That's my girl!
Today, from the back seat I hear Stella singing to her favorite Timbaland song. She pauses to let me know this: "I'm practicing singing so that I can be a rock star. When I grow up, I want to be a rock star mommy." Ha! I'm always emphasizing to her that she may choose to be a mommy some day, but she should also choose a career that she loves. Looks like she's on the right path! I'll be in the front row of her first concert. :)

The Game
A Sense Of Duty
Was My One Intention
And An Ugly Beauty

Pride A Proud Refusal
And I Refuse
To Need Your Approval
Too Many Seekers
Too Few Beacons
But Through The Fog
We'll Keep On Beaming
Through The Crying Hours
Of Your Glitter Years
All The Living Out
Of Your Tinsel Tears
And The Midnight Trains
I Never Made
'Cos I'd Already
Played...The Game
Everybody's
Got Their Own Good Reason
Why Their Favorite Season
Is Their Favorite Season
Winter Winners
And Those Summers Sons
Aren't Good For Everyone
Aren't Good For Everyone
Spring Has Sprung
And Autumns Well Done

That Your Bad's My Good

Ready...To Be Loved
Born Under Mars

The 'Devil' Writes Pat Robertson A Letter
Dear Pat Robertson,
I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action.
But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.
Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"?
If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll.
You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.
Best, Satan

Robert Bosch Selects Global Data Mining’s Global Trade Desktop™ for International Trade Classification
EDEN, Utah, Jan. 12, 2010 – Global Data Mining LLC (www.gdmllc.com), the leading provider of database management and customs classification systems, today announced that Robert Bosch North America has selected Global Data Mining’s Global Trade Desktop™ for classification and trade data management. Working in conjunction with Bosch’s SAP GTS application, the Global Trade Desktop™ will help Bosch reduce costs, increase supply chain speed and effectively manage classification functions for its operations throughout North America.
“Large companies need an intelligent approach to trade data management,” said Karl Riedl, director of International Trade Regulations at Robert Bosch. “The Global Trade Desktop™ centralizes and organizes our classification data and seamlessly interacts with our SAP GTS system, reducing manual work and keying errors. This classification tool helps global organizations maintain compliance with the flexibility of a spreadsheet, the sophistication of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application and the low total cost of ownership (TCO) of a web-based service.”
The Global Trade Desktop™ is designed so approved classification data can be easily formatted for use with any GTM applications, Importer Security Filing (10+2) applications, Product Lifecycle Management applications, Transportation Management Systems, ERP systems or any other application that may need accurate customs and classification data.
The Global Trade Desktop™ directly addresses a major challenge facing every global organization today: building and maintaining large classification databases with classification responsibility for multiple countries and for multiple business units around the world. The Global Trade Desktop™ maintains company-specific trade data with HS classifications assigned to each item, for every country, with supportive rulings and other documentation stored with the item in a single, universally accessible database. A company’s critical customs data is easily stored, maintained and updated as information – like tariffs – changes for different countries at different times around the world.
Global Trade Desktop Highlights:
• Working in support of GTM applications, The Global Trade Desktop™ becomes the enterprise-wide system of record or the “single version of the truth” for classification and customs information about every item a company moves across every international border.
• The Global Trade Desktop™ is a unique, web-enabled SQL database customized to meet each company’s specific data requirements.
• The Global Trade Desktop™ is protected by the same rigorous encryption protocols for data transmission and security as online banking and other secure websites.
• Designed using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, the Global Trade Desktop™ automatically updates users with the latest best-practice enhancements installed since their previous login.
• Every entity using the Global Trade Desktop™ can easily integrate classification data with any computer application and with any business unit around the world.
• The Global Trade Desktop™ manages worldwide staff from one central location.
• The system is web-based and hosted on Global Data Mining’s servers behind a secure firewall to assure timely updates of functionality and to incorporate the global trade content used to make the system more powerful.
