The first 10 years in USP Florence in Colorado which at the time was the most violent prison in the federal system. During those long continuous years at USP Florence Mark found within himself the need to search out the reason for his own present position in life. How could he have fallen from the status of “self made millionaire” to a “lifer convict”? After years of soul searching he at last found his answer and subsequent peace that comes with personal acceptance and personal accountability. A program he calls “the right thinking process”. With his new found ability to reason, he looked around himself at the other convicts who shared his own fate and in an effort to reach out to them and enlighten them to the power of “right thinking” he wrote this book…”As a Convict Thinketh” which he happily shares here free of charge to any and all prisoners or family members of prisoners who are themselves struggling with the question...why me? On the 9th of every month starting in Aug 2011 we will be posting new material from Mark’s endless writings. Next will be “The Miscellaneous Thoughts of a Madman”…excerpts from Mark’s personal journal. You think you know about prison? I hardly think so.

Neal Engelking moved to The Greater Metropolitan Phoenix area at the age of eight.  After high school he joined the Army and was discharged three years later with a rank of Specialist Fifth Class.  From there he returned to Phoenix and attended Arizona State University  from which he graduated in 1967 with a B.S. degree in Psychology. He worked for a few years in the financial industry and then in 1972 decided to make a career of real estate sales.   Neal started in sales with a significant handicap. He was extremely shy, over-weight and suffered from severe state fright. Not exactly a great combination for a career in sales!   During Neal's search for and use of various self-help techniques (including Self-Talk and Psycho-Cybernetics) to overcome these personal handicaps he made what he feels was an "amazing discovery". A unique and revolutionary idea that gave birth to what he titled Accelerated-State Conditioning: A 5-minute daily motivational routine designed to elevate mood and permanently change behavior.   Neal has perfected this routine (primarily for his own use but occasionally training others in the routine) throughout his career. Now Neal feels it's so "ground breaking" that he calls it "The World's Most Powerful Daily Motivational Routine"! A routine that has given Neal the ability to evoke an " intense, natural high" in less than one minute!   Neal Engelking is coming out of retirement from 35 years of high achievement in residential mortgage sales (1994 Salesman of the Year with HomeAmerican Mortgage, a sister company to Richmond-American Homes) and residential real estate sales (1.3 million dollars in residential real estate commissions in 2005 with Liberty Properties) in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan area.   Today at age 70, Neal is working in his third career as a motivational author, consultant and trainer.   Neal is blogging regularly on this website about recent developments related to motivation. He has just submitted his first manuscript to Amazon.com titled "Accelerated-State Conditioning: a 5-minute daily motivational routine designed to elevate mood and permanently change behavior.   Neal also is building a "free" website titled SuprAffs: A better way to change habits.

Author bio:
I am W. Allan. I am a graduate Harris Teachers College and Washington University in St. Louis, Mizzery. I lived in Mizzery until I moved to Florida in 1984, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I have no background in writing, and if my English Comp. Teacher knew that my ABG column was read with some enthusiasm around the world today, she would roll over in her grave. Thank God for "Spell Check" and "Grammar Correction". If I were to be allowed only one word to describe myself it would be "curious". As far back as I can remember; I have been curious about why things were as they were. Of course, I realize now that things are as they are, only as far as my perceptions interpret them to be. I have learned that reality is not all that simple. Things are as they are, only to the extent, as they appear to be to the physical senses, and we all live in a world of appearances. I have learned that if you want to find what lies inside of the inside, you must to a large extent, set aside the intellect and release the intuitions. I guess you could classify me as a "wonderer", since I have always wondered about what lies beneath the physical world that our senses present to us. I always knew there was more to reality than was apparent to the casual observer, and at that time I was a casual observer. I now reside in Bonita Springs, on the outskirts of Naples Florida. I sometimes use Naples as my place or residence, rather than Bonita Springs, simply because Naples is more well known. I have lived in Florida for some 25 years now, moving here in 1984 from St. Louis. I began writing articles some 15 years ago for a few spiritual/metaphysical magazines, but found early on that I always met with some frustration, since the normal magazine allots only 1000 words or about 1 full page to their articles, one page and no more. I learned early on that I just could not explain the difficult universal concepts that I wanted to talk about in 1000 words or less, so I quit doing that. Sometime later, I stumbled on the blog format and set up the "ANSWERS BY GOD" blog web site. This blog format offered me more latitude in writing my articles and the available space only limited by my own good sense, which I have never been accused of exercising too rigorously in the past. I still found this inadequate, since my goal was to help others understand concepts that are barely able to be grasped by the human brain, and that kind of knowledge cannot be explained in 500 words or less. So now, thanks to technology and the e-publishing book format, I can finally fully express my ideas and concepts, as I never could in the past. The ABG blog web site contains hundreds of articles, condensed in content to fit the blog format, but it's a great place to review the nature of my book material. The "Enigma" books allow me to elaborate on some articles carried in the blog, but there is much more. One important thing I have learned is that the individual personality knows no limitations. Translation; you can truly be whatever you believe you can be, so don't sell yourself short. Believe big.

Mark Crawford is a lifer convict. Convict #76603-079 http://law.jrank.org/pages/3788/Mark-Crawford-Trial-1999.html He is currently serving out that life sentence in federal prison. The first 10 years in USP Florence in Colorado which at the time was the most violent prison in the federal system. During those long continuous years at USP Florence Mark found within himself the need to search out the reason for his own present position in life. How could he have fallen from the status of “self made millionaire” to a “lifer convict”? After years of soul searching he at last found his answer and subsequent peace that comes with personal acceptance and personal accountability. A program he calls “the right thinking process”. With his new found ability to reason, he looked around himself at the other convicts who shared his own fate and in an effort to reach out to them and enlighten them to the power of “right thinking” he wrote this book…”As a Convict Thinketh” which he happily shares here free of charge to any and all prisoners or family members of prisoners who are themselves struggling with the question...why me? On the 9th of every month starting in Aug 2011 we will be posting new material from Mark’s endless writings. Next will be “The Miscellaneous Thoughts of a Madman”…excerpts from Mark’s personal journal. You think you know about prison? I hardly think so.

Jay Arthur works with companies that want to plug the leaks in their cash flow using Lean Six Sigma. Jay is the only improvement specialist that understands and can help you pinpoint areas for improvement in processes, people, and technology. Jay is first and foremost a Money Belt; he knows how to use data to pinpoint broken processes. Jay helps teams understand their communication styles and restore broken connections. Jay has 30 years experience developing software on everything from mainframes to PCs. Jay's Story: I spent 21 years working in various parts of the Bell System-one of the biggest and best cash cows of the last century. Like most businesses, managers and employees used trial-and-error-the slowest method of improvement-to reveal common sense ways to better the business. In 1990, the Baby Bell I worked for started to implement TQM-Total Quality Management. We trained team members and team leaders (greenbelts and blackbelts) and started hundreds of teams. Frustrated by the glacial slowness and paltry returns, a few of us started to look for ways to use TQM to drive breakthrough improvements. The first successful improvement project I worked on involved just myself and the building manager. It seemed that we'd had a higher number of false fire alarms than expected back in 1992. In just under four hours, we traced the root cause to fire detectors that were being triggered by cell phones. This kicked off national standards work to improve fire alarms. We were able to reduce false fire alarms from 11 per year to just one. In subsequent years I lead teams that, in a matter of months: Saved $20 million in postage expense Save $16 million in adjustment costs Reduced order errors in a wireless company from 17% to 3% in just four months saving $250,000 a month in rework. Reduced denied insurance claims in a healthcare system that saved $330,000 a month with simple process changes that could be implemented immediately. Trained a toll road team that saved $1.5 million in expenses their first year and an additional $1 million per year over the following two years. I have over 25 years of experience in aligning people, process, technology in a wide variety of environments to deliver business results. How can Jay help you? Do you need to: Increase profits by plugging the leaks in your cash flow? Simplify, streamline and automate monthly reporting, defect tracking, and supplier analysis? Improve communication by reducing conflict and confusion? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAY ARTHUR is the author of more than 20 books, including the Six Sigma System, The QI Macros SPC Software for Excel, Your Seventh Sense - How to think like a comedian, Motivate Everyone, the Motivation Profile, and has written six popular John Wiley & Sons books on software engineering and Six Sigma.

Awake Again - All the way back from Head Injury by Martin Krieg Awake Again - All the way back from Head Injury by Martin Krieg Jan. 19, 2011 $4.99 66006 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
I am Martin Krieg, a business school graduate of Cal State Hayward and former accountant. I have crossed the country twice on a bicycle after first rehabilitating myself from paralysis, clinical death and a seven week coma as a result of a car wreck. In 1979, I rode across America on a standard upright bicycle. For my second trip across America in 1986 I rode a recumbent bike and organized media events, public speaking and fund raising for the National Head Injury Foundation. That ride reached 40 million people amongst my newspaper, public speaking and TV and radio appearances. Upon its completion, to spread the word for the interconnected network of safe bikeable roads and paths called the National Bicycle Greenway (NBG) (which became a nonprofit in 1993), from 1987 to 1994, I published 60,000 Cycle America Regional Directories in four different parts of California. In 1994, WRS Publishing published the book I had written and rewritten for 14 years. Called Awake Again, it shows how I turned my long rehabilitation and subsequent bike rides, into the same game I am playing now to make the NBG real. Once this next chapter of my life's dream, the NBG, can stand on its own, I will then return to my writing and public speaking, Until then: For the next five years, I alternated between traveling the country to promote my book and learning the excitement of the all new World Wide Web as I built the first web sites for well over a hundred small and large bike companies. In 1997, I began a campaign to send hundreds of cyclists to Washington, DC. It started in Santa Cruz, CA with two Swing for NBG events and a Lighthouse Party send off. All of which ended with a widely known bike celebration called Cycle America 2000. We brought that excitement back to the West Coast with two huge cross country relay rides both of which ended in the Surf City with Festivals. During this time, I also personally inspired, coached and consulted on over a dozen other successful transcontinental bikes rides. Since 2003, from Palo Alto, CA, we still produce the annual National Mayors' Ride and I began the Mountain Movers Podcast series. In addition, I have also written “How to Bike America” and am working on a business plan for the NBG as well as what amounts to the sequel to "Awake Again' called “How America can Bike and Grow Rich, The National Bicycle Greenway Manifesto” (HBGR). I took the 2007 Mayors' Ride season off to devise a fully interactive Google mapping system that runs like a game while building community to let users calculate, request, plan, utilize, store, display and vote on bike routes. I did this all toward the end of showing how, in our increasingly crowded world, the internet can now make the bicycle the superior way to move one's self about. Once my cross X rides are complete, it will be this program I will work to make real so we can connect the principal roads and paths we identify for safe intra city travel with those those that connect cities. And as this happens, coast to coast bike travel will become possible on the National Bicycle Greenway heaven I know will soon result. In the summer of 2009, in an attempt to call attention to the NBG, in what now amounts to a test run because of all the horrific weather, I rode the Eagle HiWheel, the only one like it in active use in the world, from SF to Salt Lake City. In 2010, my Mayors' Ride/Author Tour on the amazing Eagle was put on hold by a car that ruined my bike when it turned left in front of us. At which point I moved to Ireland, married my wife Virginia, had Baby Cayo and have been studying the Greenway successes made possible here by a joint partnership between the National Tourist Bureau and 14 other public and private stakeholders as led by the Irish National Road Authority. Also from Ireland, I am building Bike Sherpa (gear carrying cyclists since I have learned carrying things is ill advised on my HiWheel)) support, for my next trip across America on the Eagle.
