Try yarde. Really can't believe sale have got 26 points.
All players were awesome tonight. Well done Quins. Stopped Sale from playing from the start[u][/u].
Odd yellow for Sweil, holding on too long and then getting strangled!
I think JK is using his players wisely. Who said they spoke to Visser and said he wasnt happy? I think that was BS. Game to game management. Its a marathon not a sprint

In the best way possible, he reminds me of Cipriani pretty horror injury. The confidence of youth and the ability to back it up.
But there will be some chastening days ahead for him (which he needs for his development) and he needs careful management to keep him grounded.
What was the yellow card for?
Quote:The Dead Baron
Great game last night but there's a little bit of me that feels Sale flattered us a bit. That's not to take anything away from the team, there were passages of absolute brilliance. BUT we STILL suffer from multiple brain-farts that give the oppo possession, luzz the ball about like the Harlem Globetrotters with limited success and our tackling is still patchy in places. It feels that the squad are really gelling now, but other teams - top 4 teams - would have put that game well and truly to bed by 50 minutes, yet we always seemed to look *this* close to letting it unravel. Nice work lads, but let's build on that and improve now.
Last word on Visser - nice to see him playing his usual brand of rugby. I know it's only fair that the incumbent should keep the shirt, but Visser proved last night that he really is miles ahead of Walker.
Given the injury situation that was a very good win as we went on to the field with an excellent attitude against a Sale dude high on confidence.Pressure now off for a bit.It was a must win game and we won!Well done to all including JK !

CaseBasket Lyrics
hold up, wordsmith, blacksmith,
girl in the school parking lot with a fat spliff,
old shit, full circle, bob barker, backflips,
got mad rap kids but not a catholic, preaching that gospel, not baptist,
redesign placements, nos-ag-stic,
getting, too crazy? my bad shit,
you aint lazy, I'm bat shit, basket case, you can blame me, its the madness, jg, congrats bitch,
in raps last place, so the vantage points dangerous, a black ditch underground cave where the canvas is the wall around me stained with my blood and my fans pics,
a motherfucker with nothing to lose is a bad bitch,
misconstrued, miss my aim, you lose,
kiss the shoes, diss my name, hiss, boos,
your clique is fools, fucking with niggas and jigaboos, I'm sick of buffoons, fucking sick of thinking of coons,
I aint ever dig a rule, or kick a particular tune,
I'm penning its venting me niccotine liquor and booze,
I'm me, choose choice, it's the new shit,
don't be, confused boys, the new shtick, is no shtick, promote this,
offbeat, off road shit, with a kotex,
flow mo heavy than most chicks, so fuck a 28 days I keep a tampax with my show shit,
right next to an open bottle reeking of roses,
next to a broken bottle seeping leaking neurosis,
sleeping on Jeannie? most is? most ears.... aint heard of the beating, cause I'd be.... most feared,
See its more convenient to leave me alone in the background, blacked out, in a basement with a gagged mouth,
I dont want nobody to save me, I'll hack out,
Shawshank redemption, no thanks to mention,
act now, get a special deal on the raps out,
for free 99 I'll beat 99 acts down,
but leave one please, I need a comedy track clown, your beats jokes relief, hope you finally go that route,
if thee is next to Tsidi don't act out,
I'm a phe no me non, retarted don like my mommy done crack (wow),
a super jerk, call me Clark Kent at sperm bank, with girl mags, I'd be like SPIT if I burned tags,
I burn flags, burn, man, not books or bras, fam,
swing bars, multiple partners, Tarzan,
marzipan, that's it no reference, no depth shit,
breathe and let the bars stand.

I'm using netcfg to manage my wireless connections at home and have a problem that always appears when I want to connect at home when I had last connected at university (I don't use netcfg there as I need to establish a VPN connection).
Problem seems to be that dhcpcd somehow tries to reuse the lease obtained at university when I connect at home (that is still valid, because it's valid 24h), which of course doesn't work (I get the error
dhcpcd: eth1: reject NAK
and it took me quite some time to figure out that it's due to the attempt of reusing the lease: I had to figure out where netcfg calls dhcpcd and remove the -q to get a relevant error message).
I worked around the issue by connecting statically, but I suppose there must be some way to get this to work relyably using dhcp. There were no hits on the search, but I can hardly imagine I'm the only one having this problem.
Here's my profile:
Appreciate any suggestions.
Are you able to connect manually? I think this is a problem with dhcpcd rather than netcfg.
[git] | [AURpkgs] | [arch-games]
Yeah, connecting manually works. Probably it is indeed a dhcpcd problem. Where is this information about obtained leases stored that dhcpcd uses to try to rebind? Is this intended behavior? Shouldn't it rather try to acquire a new lease when it realizes it can't use the previously obtained one?
For me, dhcpcd will try any non-expired lease, but generally they get rejected so it just asks for a new one.
Have a look at "man dhcpcd.conf" and see if there's an option to change this behaviour.
Hmm, have you changed anything in your dhcpcd.conf? I haven't and obviously I don't have this behavior. Couldn't find anything useful in the manpage either and I don't suppose the problem is due to a parameter netcfg passes to dhcpcd (it passes -qL as far as I understand).
Nope, I havnt changed anything, thats the default behaviour afaik. Try editing netcfg /usr/lib/network/connections/ethernet, remove the -q, and see what the full output/failure is.
edit: I do have one thing changed, some versions of dhcpcd did not accept an IP when the server didn't give a 'ServerID' as required by the RFC. However this broke two crappy dhcp servers, so I commented out the "#require dhcp_server_identifier" option. This behaviour may have changed since that version though...

I'm having the same problem as PapaNoa intermittently. Commenting out the dhcp_server_identifier line in /etc/dhcpcd.conf does allow me to get an IP address.
Thanks for your helpful replies. I'll have a try commenting that out.
Btw. I had removed the -q, otherwise the error message was not helpful at all.
PapaNoa: Any luck?
Hmm, haven't had my laptop with me at university for quite a while. Can I somehow trick dhcpcd and feign a lease to test if it works?
In /var/lib/dhcpcd there should be some lease files, e.g:
Delete these (sudo rm /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.lease) then restart the net-profiles daemon:
sudo /etc/rc.d/net-profiles restart
Last edited by neonnds (2009-07-21 22:50:19)
For me this problem looks like a bug. I have to manually remove /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth1.lease before running netcfg?
This problem occurs when you change from one dhcp server to another. Very annoying! Is there already any bug report for that?
For me it helped to comment the "require dhcp_server_identifier", thanks alot.
Delete these (sudo rm /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.lease) then restart the net-profiles daemon:
Many thanks neonnds, you make my day! ^^

I had the same problem. And indeed removing the .lease files solved the problem. The problem started after I used wlassistant.
After using wlassistant all of a sudden i could not connect with netcfg either.
thanx neonnds
i've tried netcfg-tray and it works fine for me, i've tried a cable connection and my wifi open connection, but i think that it's missing an important feature: a wifi signal displayer that should displays the quality of wifi, so for example 40%, 100%

Try netcfgGUI, it does what you have requested plus a little more while still remaining light weight.
The software required Windows XP or better, so I installed archlinux.

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Reuters) - The Minnesota Senate is expected to give final approval on Monday to a bill that would make the state the 12th in the United States to allow same-sex couples to marry and only the second in the Midwest.
Leaders in the Senate, where Democrats hold a 39-28 majority, have said they believe they have the support to approve a bill legalizing gay marriage. They set a vote for Monday on the measure that members of the state House approved last week.
Democratic Governor Mark Dayton has said he would sign the bill, which would make Minnesota the third state this month to legalize gay marriage after Rhode Island and Delaware. The law would take effect August 1.
Minnesota would join Iowa as the only other Midwestern state to permit gay marriage and the first to do so through legislation. Iowa has permitted same-sex marriage since 2009 under a state Supreme Court order.
The Minnesota House had been expected to be the bigger hurdle, but representatives voted 75-59 on Thursday to approve a bill with some Republican support.
The measure has at least one Republican sponsor in the Senate.
Senator Scott Dibble, the bill's architect, has said the stronger-than-expected vote from representatives was very encouraging and urged same-sex marriage supporters to continue active lobbying for the bill right up to Monday's vote.
Hundreds of supporters and opponents of the proposal to legalize same-sex marriage demonstrated at the Capitol on Thursday. A similar atmosphere was expected on Monday.
The vote on Thursday was a sharp reversal for Minnesota's legislature. Two years ago, Republicans controlled both chambers and bypassed the governor to put forward a ballot measure that would have made the state's current ban on gay marriage part of the state constitution.
Minnesota voters in November rejected that measure and also voted in Democratic majorities in both the state House and Senate, setting the legislature on the path toward Monday's vote.
Republican Senator Warren Limmer, a sponsor of the proposed amendment two years ago, has said the legislation will change how businesses work, clergy speak from the pulpit and school curriculums are shaped.
"Prior to the marriage amendment (vote) in November, many people were warning that this day would come," Limmer said in an interview last week.
Opponents of the bill have questioned whether the rights of religious groups and individuals who believe marriage should be only between one man and one woman would be protected. They also questioned the speed with which the measure was being approved.
Over several years, voters in more than two dozen states approved state constitutional provisions that define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. But in the past year, gay rights advocates won a series of victories.
In November, Maine, Maryland and Washington state became the first states to approve same-sex marriage at the ballot box.
Same-sex marriage is also legal in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. The District of Columbia also has legalized same-sex marriage.
Illinois state senators approved a bill in February, but the measure has not been voted on in the full House.

Football Adds Win to Homecoming Funby Public Affairs Staff • September 27, 2011 Share:
The Little Giant football team added an exclamation point to Homecoming festivities with a 49-0 romp over Kenyon.
Chapel Sing
Chapel Sing kicked off Wabash College Homecoming festivities Thursday morning. The Theta Delts took top honors in the annual freshman rite of passage.
Theta Delt took the top honors singing Old Wabash with Sigma Chi coming in second. Lambda Chi scored third and Phi Psi was fourth. The Betas, FIJIs, and Kappa Sig tied for fifth.
The fraternities and united independents will compete throughout the weekend in float building, sign building, house decoration, chant, and queen contest for overall Homecoming Honors.
One of Thursday's highlights beyond the fun, singing, and competition was the spirit of brotherhood shown by the Phi Psi freshmen. One of the pledge class members got a red W for getting the words to Old Wabash incorrect when he was taken inside the Chapel.
The young man was noticeable distraught. His pledge brothers all painted a red W on their white t-shirt after the competition so he would not be singled out through the rest of the day.
Wabash Always Fights!
Homecoming Overview
Wabash College will honor alumni for achievement, welcome new members into the alumni ranks, and celebrate Homecoming this weekend. Activities begin with Thursday's Chapel Sing, continue Saturday morning with the Homecoming Alumni Chapel, and wrap up with Saturday night's Homecoming Concert.
The highlight of Homecoming is the Alumni Chapel program, at which the National Association of Wabash Men holds its annual meeting. While the business meeting consists of a single vote approval and a gavel rap, the Chapel provides an opportunity for the NAWM to recognize members of the Wabash community for their outstanding accomplishments.
Three remarkable men will receive Alumni Awards of Merit during the Alumni Chapel, which begins at 11 a.m. in the Pioneer Chapel on the Wabash campus.
Kevin G. Clifford '77 (above right) will receive the Frank W. Misch Alumni Service Award for his many contributions to Wabash. Since his graduation, Clifford has served as a class agent, president of the Chicago alumni association, hosted dozens of alumni social and admissions recruiting events, and since 1994 served as a member of the Wabash College Board of Trustees.
M. Ashraf Haidari '01 will receive the Fredrick J. Urbaska Civic Service Award, which recognizes alumni for their service to the communities in which they live. Haidari is the youngest alumnus to earn the honor, and is celebrated for his work for the government of his home country, Afghanistan. Since his graduation, he has worked in many capacities — from director of government and media relations to deputy assistant national security advisor to his current role with the ministry of foreign affairs.
Timothy J. Padgett '84 (left) will receive the Clarence A. Jackson Career Service Award for his 27-year career in journalism. Padgett is Time magazine's Miami and Latin America bureau chief, and previously worked for Newsweek magazine and the Chicago Sun Times.
His reporting has included some of the hemisphere's most important events of the last 25 years — from the 2000 Florida election recount to Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti to his on-the-scene coverage of the rescue of the Chilean mine workers.
In addition to the Alumni Awards of Merit, the NAWM will also present the Young Alumnus Award, and awards for alumni contributions in career services and admissions.
Kelly D. Pfledderer '96 (right), president and founder of the Indianapolis technology firm Apparatus (one of the region's fastest growing companies), will receive the Young Alumnus Award. Pfledderer was elected to the Wabash Board of Trustees in 2010.
Roland D. Morin '91 will be named an Alumni Career Services Fellow. Morin taught the College's Summer Business Immersion course, and has been the driving force of the Marketing Immersion Program since its inception.
John N. Fox '64 and James A. Dyer '83 will be named Alumni Admissions Fellows for their work as volunteer recruiters on behalf of the Wabash Admissions Office.
Two long-time members of the Wabash community will be welcomed into the alumni ranks as Honorary Alumni.
Tobey C. Herzog (left), Professor of English and Faculty Marshal, will be named an honorary member of the Class of 2011. Herzog, an Illinois Wesleyan graduate who earned his Ph.D. from Purdue, has served as department and division chair, earned the College's Excellence in Teaching Prize, and served and chaired countless committees in his more than 30 years of teaching at Wabash.
R. Brent Harris (right), Director of Sports Information and Marketing, will be named an honorary member of the Class of 2003. Harris became the College's SID in 1999 after serving as a dedicated volunteer for more than a decade. He has been honored for his technology skills, sports writing, and media guide production, and is an honorary member of the Sphinx Club.
Harris and Herzog join History Professor Emeritus Peter Frederick, who joined the Class of 1992 during the Macolm X Institute of Black Studies' 40th anniversary celebration September 17.

In order to start personalizing your selected product you have to check the "Add personalization" box on the product page.
Step 2
Choose any word, initials or combination of both with up to 10 characters. Most popular are 2- or 3-letter monogram like "K.S." (Karen Smith) or "AvM" (Anna von Mainau) – with or without dots. Alternatively you can use your favorite phrase or even hashtag like #Berlin.

Review: T-Bone Burnett, Stephen King and John Mellencamp Discuss Their Musical
Photos by G.
The title of this article is NOT misleading. Legends T-Bone Burnett, Stephen King and John Mellencamp have written a musical! "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County" is being released on June 4, 2013 and I spent an hour in the presence of greatness as the trio discussed this project at the Apple Store in Manhattan. The story was written by Stephen King in collaboration with John Mellencamp and T-Bone Burnett served as the musical director.
The story is set in the tiny town of Lake Belle Reve, Mississippi. "Darkland County" focuses on two sets of brothers: the ghosts of Jack and Andy, dead in an apparent murder/suicide, and their nephews, the living Frank and Drake. Joe, younger brother of Jack and Andy, father of Frank and Drake, has decided it's time to reveal his own terrible secret at the site of the tragedy, before it's too late. The libretto of the supernatural Southern musical is being released as a book with a DVD of interviews with the trio as well as 2 cds featuring performances by Neko Case, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow and Mellencamp just to name a few!
This musical has been in the works for over a decade as all of them have "full time jobs" as they put it. There have been readings of the play already and they are planning on doing a small tour. Depending on interest, "Darkland County" could come to Broadway in New York, so hopefully the tour is a success because it would be amazing to see a full blown production with these three incredible talents at the helm. I guess time will tell. The program was recorded for a free podcast that will be free to download off iTunes, so if you were not able to make it to this historic event, you'll be able to catch up on what you missed.
On a personal note, to be in the presence of Stephen King, whose books had a huge influence on my life was beyond surreal. His books have scared the shit out of me since I was very little and he even remarked "we try and recruit them when they are young." I've also been a huge fan of John Mellencamp for most of my life as well and T-Bone Burnett has produced so many great songs, most recently the amazing Robert Plant and Alison Krauss album "Raising Sand." Needless to say, this event was so cool to attend and I'd like to say thanks to T-Bone Burnett, Stephen King and John Mellencamp for being such great sources of inspiration.

By Jonathan Hartzell, NBA.com
The NBA offseason is a time for most players to relax and mentally prepare for the upcoming season. But for those recovering from injury, it's all work as they try to get back into the game.
Here are 10 key players rehabbing this summer, with best guesses on when they are expected to return.
Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
Injury: Ruptured Achilles tendon (April 13, 2013)
Progress: Bryant's 2012-13 season came to a sudden end when he ruptured his Achilles tendon in the Lakers' stretch-run toward the playoffs. The initial diagnosis for his injury was 6-9 months, but recent reports have suggested the star could be back by the start of the 2013-14 season. This would be the best of news for the Lakers, who will struggle to win without Bryant.
ETA: It's not hard to imagine Bryant being ready by the start of the season. But it's downright easy to imagine this injury staying with him all season.
Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls
Injury: Torn ACL in left knee (April 28, 2012)
Progress: If you go by some of what you see on Twitter, then Derrick Rose was ready to return two months ago during the Chicago Bulls' series against the Miami Heat, but he chose not to because he's not "competitive enough." Thankfully, the saga surrounding Rose ended when the Bulls were eliminated in five games and Rose was allowed to have the entire summer to continue his rehab. A video surfaced earlier in the week of Rose dunking on an eight-foot hoop. It seems likely the former-MVP will be ready by the start of training camp.
ETA: Reports signal Rose is comfortable on the court again and has regained his muscle memory, so expect him back for the entire 2013-14 season.
Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder
Injury: Lateral meniscus tear in right knee (April 24, 2013)
Progress: Westbrook underwent surgery on his right knee in late May after he tore his lateral meniscus during the first round playoff series against the Houston Rockets. The recovery time initially called for Westbrook to be back for the beginning of the 2013-14 season. Based on the amount of recent videos of Westbrook dancing, it would appear he will be ready.
ETA: It would take an unlikely setback for Westbrook not to be ready by training camp. But don't be surprised if this injury inititally diminishes Westbrook's level of play.
Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics
Injury: Torn ACL in right knee (January 25, 2013)
Progress: Rondo's knee injury in late-January knocked him out for the rest of the 2012-13 season and proved to be the last time he would play with future Hall-of-Famers Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett and be coached by Doc Rivers. Rondo is reportedly right on schedule for his recovery, but the team he is preparing to return to is moving in a completely new direction. It will be interesting to see how Rondo handles his new leading role on the team and if he can get along with new head coach Brad Stevens.
ETA: All signs point to Rondo being ready for the start of the season.
Kevin Love, Minnesota Timberwolves
Injury: Surgery to remove scar tissue in left knee (April 8, 2013)
Progress: Kevin Love missed the beginning of the 2012-13 season with a broken hand sustained by doing knuckle push-ups. After he returned from that injury he played 18 games before he broke the same hand again. Before he could return for a third time, he became bothered by left knee pain and chose to have season-ending surgery to remove scar tissue in his knee. The normal recovery time for this surgery is 4-6 weeks, so Love should be right on schedule to return for training camp.
ETA: Love will most likely be ready for the start of the 2013-14 season … unless he decided to do more knuckle push-ups.
Andrew Bynum, Cleveland Cavaliers
Injury: Knee complications beginning in 2010
Progress: Andrew Bynum underwent his first knee surgery on July 28, 2010 with the Los Angeles Lakers. Last year, knee troubles caused the center to miss the entire season after he was acquired by the Philadelphia 76ers in a summer blockbuster trade. The washout of a season was initially due to a setback Bynum suffered while bowling. Now a part of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Bynum says he will be ready by training camp. But it's important to remember he said those same words last season, too.
ETA: Few will believe the big man is back until they see the big man back, but it seems likely he will be healthy for the start of the season.
Danilo Gallinari, Denver Nuggets
Injury: Torn ACL in left knee (April 4, 2013)
Progress: Similar to Rondo, the team that Gallinari is set to return to is a lot different than the one he left. Gone are Andre Iguodala, head coach George Karl and general manager Masai Ujiri. But new head coach Brian Shaw should help to inspire the team and a healthy Gallinari would certainly help. The initial timetable for his return was the middle of next season, but recent reports suggest he may be back sooner than that after the surgery was simpler than expected.
ETA: The best-case scenario for his return seems to be December.
Anderson Varejao, Cleveland Cavaliers
Injury: Blood clot developed in left lung following surgery (January 10, 2013)
Progress: Varejao was having his best NBA season when it was unexpectedly cut short after doctors discovered a blood clot developing in his left lung. This potentially fatal condition was quickly treated by surgery, but it caused Varejao to miss the remainder of the season. Varejao should be fully prepared to return by the start of training camp.
ETA: It would be a surprise if Varejao isn't ready to step into the front line of the improving Cavs by the start of the season.
Danny Granger, Indiana Pacers
Injury: Patellar tendinosis in left knee since the 2012 offseason
Progress: Granger attempted to return midseason last year but was able to play in only five games before he had to undergo another surgery. His absence allowed All-Star Paul George to emerge as the go-to star for the Pacers, who reached Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals before falling to the Heat. Still, Granger's offensive firepower would be a welcome addition off the bench.
ETA: While recent reports suggest that the former All-Star should be ready by training camp, lingering knee injuries are nearly impossible to predict.
Greg Oden
Injury: Lingering knee injuries since 2007
Progress: Speaking of lingering knee injuries, here's Greg Oden! The first overall pick of the 2007 NBA Draft is reportedly ready for a comeback after being out of the league for the entire 2012-13 season. He's receiving heavy interest from several NBA teams. There's no way to predict what Oden has left in his knees, but if he can stay relatively healthy for the majority of next season then his extreme size and skill will be a huge benefit.
ETA: There have been limited reports on Oden's recovery progress, but the amount of interest he's received from teams must signal that the big man is on track to return for most of next season.

The AC adapter was an extra worth about $20 at radio shack, works great. Can e-mail video of it operating if youd like. Condition is what I would say between 8 and 9 out of 10 - normal use marks, always indoors in non-smoking home. Manual probably in box but the PDF file is everywhere. E-mail me for any further.

One of my favourite things about Christmas is the opportunity - or excuse - to make edible gifts for friends and family. I was sent this Wilton chocolate Santa mould to review by Cakemart, the online cake decorating equipment store which trades in Germany as Mein Cupcake.
The Santa mould, currently £4.86, is really easy to use: you just melt some chocolate or candy melts, pour into the mould, pop in a lolly or cake pop stick and put them in the fridge to set. They came out of the moulds so easily as well - I was worried they would stick or break but I had no problems at all.
The mould itself is clear plastic but the pack comes with a piece of card on the front giving ideas for how you can decorate the lollies. I was a bit confused by the wording on the front: "Mold contains 3 designs, 3 cavities", because it made 10 lollies and they were all the same design, unless I'm missing something....
The finer details of Santa's face were a bit too tricky for me to manage - you'd need very precise piping skills I think! Instead I meted some Renshaw red Colour Melts and piped the hat and then melted some white chocolate which I poured over the top to fill the whole mould, inserting the stick at the same time.
For my second batch I used plain chocolate and didn't decorate them at all.
Each batch only took about half an hour to set in the fridge.
I then wrapped each one in a cellophane cake pop bag and tied them with festive ribbon. I am organising my work Christmas lunch this year which is very early as it was the only date everyone can do, so I plan to hand them out to each person or put one on each place setting. This is definitely a handy mould to have for relatively quick and certainly easy edible gifts and one I'm sure I will use again!
I'm sharing these with the Food Year Linkup, hosted by Charlotte's Lively Kitchen, as it's coming up to Christmas!
I'm also sending them to Treat Petite, hosted by Stuart at Cakeyboi and Kat at the Baking Explorer, as their theme is red and green, or anything Christmas.
These also fit in with this month's We Should Cocoa, the chocolate recipe challenge created by Choclette of Tin and Thyme. It's hosted this month by Munchies and Munchkins, who has chosen the theme of Christmas.
Thanks to Cakemart for sending the Santa mould to review.

Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce Shoots To Score With Switch2Health
January 25, 2010: Paul Pierce, captain of the NBA's Boston Celtics, has formed an alliance with Switch2Health Corp. to help promote health and wellness among adults and kids. Pierce will take an equity stake in the venture, serve on the board, advise the company on healthy lifestyle programs for children and actively promote the S2H brand through his own Truth on Health Initiative and FitClub34 from Harvard Pilgrim.
Switch2Health's signature product is the S2H Replay (MSRP $19.95), a wrist-worn device that allows users to monitor various aspects of physical activity. For every 60 minutes of physical activity, the device generates a reward code that can be entered at S2H.com for points, which Switch2Health said could be put toward discounts, product offers, goods and services from a variety of well known local and national brands. S2H said it has worked with the NFL's Play60, The Harlem Globetrotters and State Farm.
Pierce's Truth on Health Initiative and FitClub34 from Harvard Pilgrim is an online destination that offers rewards to members who are committed to an active lifestyle, including tickets to Celtics' home games. It also provides information on food, exercising and other health-related categories.
"I didn't always have the access, information or guidance to make the correct decisions about eating well and exercising," Pierce said in a statement. "I realize now how important staying active and eating healthy has been to my success. What I love about Switch2Health is that it offers the tools, resources and information necessary to make healthy choices while also making it fun by providing great rewards to kids who are truly committed to their own health and fitness."
Pierce's other marketing partners include Nike, Spalding, PowerAde, USI Insurance Solutions, Steiner Sports Memorabilia and Cisco's Flip.
"We are excited to have an athlete of Paul Pierce's caliber join our team in one of our generation's most significant challenges: the effort to curb sedentary lifestyles among our youth in the prevention of childhood obesity," Seth Tropper, president and CEO of Switch2Health, North Brunswick, NJ, said in a statement. "Paul's broad appeal will be a huge asset as we carry our message to our nation's youth and their families."

Lisa O'Donnell necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 40 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Design a logo for a new life coaching business thats a little different from all the rest. Take a trip down memory lane....... The idea behind the name is the story of 'the little engine that could' its a childrens book with a great mesage that says you can do anything that you put your mind to.
little engine consulting
I would like a logo design for my new business. I have just qualified as a life coach and am ready to hit the ground running. This will be the image of my business and represent me as a coach. I wanted something a little different from all the other coaching business names and something that made people stop and think. The name comes from a childrens book that has a beautiful message that you can do anything that you put your mind to and there are no limitations. This is the message that I want to get accross to my clients.
I am originally from NZ and am now living in Australia where I plan to be for a wee while. Growing up I had this story read to me and so did most people I know, so hopefully it will strike a chord with everyone.
I want the design to be simple with all lower case lettersI want the colours to be red and white (may have to have a red background for the white to show up?) Possibly a bit of black?I would like the tagline of 'know you can'
Guys, originally I wanted to stay away from trains, engines etc but am now thinking about the possibility of having some train tracks, or something that represents that, something that represents moving along on the journey (if that makes sense)
Im happy for people to try different things with the name also for example leave out the consulting part or make that on a different line?
Just some thoughts. - Thanks!
- I dont want any pictures of engines as I am concerned about it being too adolescent and pigeon holing my market.

Ayo check this out son
This is my man Nas Escobar
And I go by the name of Cormega you know
(you gonna get your self murdered)
Yo check this out on the real son
Anybody diss the Firm yo on the real yo
I'm bringing it to you I ain't even saying the word
Cause I ain't allowed to say it on the radio
(any Firm members come out your mouth wrong)
We keepin' it crazy real son on the real
(violate the grand you get split in half)
Son you gonna set it? set it son
Matter of fact though
I peep you frontin, I was in the Jeep
Sunk in the seat, tinted with heat, beats bumpin'
Across the street you was wildin'
Talkin bout how you ran the Island in eighty-nine
Layin up, playin the yard with crazy shine
I cocked a baby 9 that nigga grave be mine, clanked him
What was he thinkin on my corner when it's pay me time
Dug em you owe me cousin somethin told me plug him
So dumb, felt my leg burn, then it got numb
Spun around and shot one, heard shots and dropped son
Caught a hot one, somebody take this biscuit 'fore the cops come
Then they came askin me my name, what the ugh
I got stitched up and went through
Left the hospital that same night, what
Got my gat back, time to backtrack
I had the drop so how the fuck I get clapped
Black was in the Jeep watchin all these scenes speed by
It was a brown Datsun, and yo nobody in my hood got one
That clown cat's through, blazin at his crew
I can't believe it achieve
Yo Cormega whatever whatever whatever
Pushin' a red lex
With many screams inside the headsets
So much beef, police surprised I ain't dead yet
I keep red tech in the passenger seat
To match their heat
It's so real if I don't see you I'm splashing your beep
It's on the kid
Whoever gets his first
It's going to kids dirt
My soldiers be cold blooded vultures
And cold blooded
Yo on the street we control hundreds
I drink polatas so all my people roll blunted
Your man froze when I rolled up
I symbolize death like a cobra
Attacks your life here it's over
Black you effed up
Never should've messed up
My black cocksucker scared to die tough luck
You know my steelo im like Al Pacino
Yo Nas Escobar grab the mic and flex a bar
I'm in the black limo
Jack Daniel through the crack window
I spot the fake red dot his face like a Hindu
Grab the symbol
Show examples to make examples
Essential amounts you owe to the fam crew
Firm affiliation paper chasing
Chip glossy rich pablo es cubano
Yo blazing halos like shadow
Yo nigga im the castro
Im coming through on your wack crew
What you gonna do
Cormega pick the mic come through
Ay yo I get mines
Well enough to be considered big time
My crew a chosen few legit minds
Who live prime
Shorty's on some fly stuff
Admitted that can't resist mines
Mahogany complexion
Body probably dressed in
My ill tommy hill collection
When I be flexin', sketch it
My selection of words are type effective
When I rhyme words are verbalized remain present
In mines, I'm like an with air macs nikes on
Recite nice on mics strike like a python
My gold chain with ice on lookin' trife on

At Richmond Heights High School in Cleveland, the boys' basketball team has started the season undefeated, at 15-0. But earlier this week, the players and their parents came together to attempt to unseat their coach, Jason Popp, as he allegedly calls them the n-word on a regular basis.
Among the various accusations: Popp told his team before a game that their opponents expected them "to play like n—-ers, which you are," and told a few of his players that their teammate's father was "a drunk, and the apartment he lives in is probably government housing." On Monday, the boys' parents wrote a letter to the school board charging Popp with "inappropriate language, as well as racial and economic harassment." They also attended a school board meeting to voice their concerns, and successfully postponed last night's game until Friday — so the unblemished record still stands. The Spartans have also threatened to boycott the remainder of their season if Popp is not relieved of his duties.
Superintendent Linda Hardwick, who seems to have some problems of her own, said that she spoke to Popp and that he "is willing to talk and address the issues the parents have brought up. But he wants to get this settled because he cares about these kids." He must have a soft spot for winning, too.

Alumnae star in St. Andrew's Priory's video series
Sponsored Edition: Shows of Strength
Your daughter's latest appointment television on Monday nights: The Carrie Diaries.
Who could blame her? It follows a teenage girl leading a glamorous double life in the big city. As a responsible parent, you could point out that the show is a work of fiction fueled solely by Hollywood magic.
Or you could show her how those dreams become reality at St. Andrew's Priory School.
Okay, she may not be in New York, but the 145-year-old campus is located in the heart of downtown Honolulu. Once there, she'll encounter amazing new opportunities and experiences, like performing in the only all-girl orchestra in the state, winning the Team America Rocket Challenge, or participating in the annual Model UN conference (actually, that last one really does takes place in New York City).
To capture it all, St. Andrew's Priory put together a show of their own - an online video series profiling various alumnae and their Priory experiences. The roster certainly is jet-setting:
- Episode 1: Dawn Imada Chan, '95, headmaster in Toronto, Canada.
- Episode 2: Emi Hart, '95, Yelp community manager.
- Episode 3: Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, '69, U.S. Congresswoman.
Consider these videos the ultimate inspiration for your daughter.
And reality TV you most certainly approve of.
To experience St. Andrew's Priory School for yourself, visit an open house this Sunday, 1-3 p.m., or Thursday, February 14, 9-10:30 a.m., at 224 Queen Emma Square. Call (808) 536-6102 or click here for more information.

Its kinda weird but i really do notice my twitches get worse from different things i eat or drink. For example, i just finished a gatorade and now im twitching. And i do twitch everywhere when im under alot of stress. I mean everywhere. Its like my body is producing too much of a stress hormone or something and i really get twitches bad. I know that after 8 long yrs of twitching and having an emg, mri, and blood tests that its not some type of muscle disease. And a doctor tfrom wvu hospital told me it was bfs. Its just so hard for me to pinpoint my root cause. I still workout with free weights and do push ups and pull ups with no problem at all. Besides back pain from having herniated disks in my neck and back.. as i think back when this all started i was under lots of stress from my ex gf and just got over being sick. I woke up one morning and the twitches were there. So im not sure if its from stress, diet, or maybe something spine related..
billydog wrote:Ive always been an athlete every since i was a kid. I played football, basketball and baseball. Im now 36 and like i mentioned earlier, have had these twitches for about 8 years. I wonder if anything i did in my younger years has anything to do with the twitching and possibly the degenerative disk disease! So many possibilities such as when i use to party in my early 20's. Marijuanna and cocaine use may also have been a contributer to the twitches.. i use to think the cocaine may have damaged my central nervous system. I hope i someday get to the bottom of it and really wish more doctors where familiar with bfs. I understand als needs more attention but for us who are sufferes of bfs its sometimes scary, annoying, and weird. Maybe someday there will be a cure for all these horrible diseases. Hopefully soon for all of us on this beautiful earth.

The Falcons know better than everyone they underperformed yesterday.
And they know that the doubters who were in the shadows as as they started the season 11-1 will be out in full force after they lost in embarrassing fashion to the Panthers.
"I can hear everybody right now," Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez said, via Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "They're getting off the bandwagon. I can hear them jumping off.
"Looking at our history, people are going to go, 'See, I told you.'"
It's easy to look at yesterday's game and conclude the Panthers had more invested emotionally than the Falcons, fueled by Panthers who felt disrespected by Matt Ryan's "Get the [expletive] off our field," goodbye in the first meeting.
Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy, who declared last week his team was the better of the two, repeated the words after the fact, leading Falcons kicker Matt Bryant to reply: "Watch us in January."
Of course, the Falcons have more problems than the slings and arrows of a 4-9 team. They need to fix their run game (which underperformed again), and generally show more fire. It starts with next week's meeting with the Giants, who flushed them from the playoffs last year and really created the perception of the Falcons as front-runners.
Sleepwalking against the Panthers will only strengthen that perception.
"We all knew we were flat," linebacker Sean Weatherspoon said. "It seemed like every time there was a play to be made, we were almost there. You can't be almost in this league.
"We get a chance to go after some guys who controlled our destiny last year."
And to silence their doubters, such that they ever can in the regular season.

Snipers have been the focus of envy and the personification of legends in the Marine Corps since men like Carlos Hathcock and Chuck Mawhinney looked down their scopes in the jungles of Vietnam. The recent exploits of Chris Kyle, the retired Navy SEAL who now has the most confirmed sniper kills in U.S. military history, modernized the mystique of the military sniper, but few have what it takes to join the ranks.
One such man is Cpl. Miles Cooley, team leader of Reaper Two, Scout Sniper Platoon (SSP), Headquarters and Service Company, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit.
| More: Deployed Marines trade in their 249 SAWs for the new Infantry Automatic Rifle |
While growing up with three siblings in a nonmilitary family in the suburban town of Algonquin, Ill., Cooley never dreamed he would become one of the top snipers of a Marine infantry battalion.
I didnt even shoot much growing up, reflected Cooley. I was in the Boy Scouts for some time, but aside from that and playing the drums, thats all I did.
Cooley did have an inclination toward the military, however. Starting in middle school he flirted with the concept of being one of the warriors on the front line of the Iraq war, and a few years later, during his freshman year of high school, he knew it would be the Marines.
My older brother went on to be a Marine, so that was a big influence on the specific branch of service, said Cooley. I had intended to join right after high school, but some family complications put that off for a couple of years. Eventually I walked in and signed up for the 03 infantry option, and a week later I found myself in California.
Cooley stepped onto the yellow footprints at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego in November 2007 and subsequently the School of Infantry West in February. It was there that Cooley learned something about himself when it came to his role as a rifleman in the Marine Corps he wanted more.
While in school, I was thinking about attending the reconnaissance briefs, but my instructors talked me out of it, he said. I never lost the thought of trying, though.
Shortly after hitting the fleet, Cooley deployed to Iraq as a rifleman with Company F., 2/1, from January to August 2009. It was there that he was able to view Marine snipers in action, confirming his desire to become more than a rifleman.
During our Iraq tour, I talked with some of the company snipers and learned a bit about how they worked, Cooley said. I was interested in the way they operated, but moreover they were very motivated and locked on. Thats what I wanted to be.
Three months after 2/1s return from Iraq, Cooley underwent screening to join the SSP and attend the scout sniper school at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif. He spent nine months in the platoon as part of the security element until he was selected for a seat in the school.
While youre in the platoon awaiting entrance to the school, everything you do is graded and evaluated, Cooley said. Just being a part of the platoon is both mentally and physically challenging, but the school proved to be even tougher.
Cooley eventually received a seat at the school in the summer of 2010. While at the nine-week school, he learned various scout sniper techniques like advanced marksmanship, stalking and concealment, tracking and counter-tracking, land navigation and survival skills. With a 30 percent washout rate for each class, Cooley knew he would face intense physical and mental trials.
You run everywhere you go all day, putting continual stress on the body, he said. There is also the possibility that theyll come to you and kick you out for not doing well enough. Those trials really test you, which all go toward tempering the abilities of the snipers.
Cooleys graduation from the school consisted of a 20 kilometer maneuver with notional casualties and more than 60 pounds of gear to the top of the highest peak on Camp Pendleton, where he was awarded the traditional HOG tooth, a 7.62mm bullet. According to military legend, there is one destined round meant to kill someone with their name on it. Being given this round enforces a battlefield status of invincibility for the sniper. The term HOG acronyms the sniper school graduate title of hunter of gunmen.
Cooley returned to 2/1s SSP, deploying to Afghanistan from November 2010 to May 2011. Serving in a combat zone as a scout sniper, his primary function was radically different than that of a rifleman.
In Iraq we were mainly providing security for convoys, commanding officer meetings and the like, said Cooley. In Afghanistan, I went out with teams operating away from the companies, conducting reconnaissance and surveillance of areas they were going to enter.
The use of scout snipers has skyrocketed since the Vietnam War when they were called upon to counter the guerilla-style tactics of the Viet Cong. Sniper teams were sent out for days on end to track and eliminate the invisible enemy that planted improvised traps and lied in wait for passing patrols. According to Charles Henderson, author of Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills, by the end of the Vietnam War the benefit of scout snipers resounded so loudly through the Department of Defense that training schools were stood up throughout the branches.
While snipers proved strongly beneficial in recent wars, the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan solidified their battlefield presence as an invaluable necessity in advanced reconnaissance, propelling their use and effectiveness into the 21st century.
We were basically the eyes and ears of the company for locations they were going to operate in, acting as the forward observers whenever needed, Cooley said. We engaged the enemy when necessary, but that isnt the sole function of a scout sniper.
Due to their many uses on the battlefield, snipers have been coined a force multiplier, an asset that better balances the battlefield in terms of immediate capabilities.
Each individual sniper is not only one of the best infantrymen of the battalion in terms of skills, but they are also more mature than those of the same ranks, said Capt. Josh Cox, platoon commander of BLT 2/1s SSP and a native of Colby, Kansas. All their skills and experience combined make them the battalion commanders hip pocket reconnaissance asset, able to perform in a wide variety of roles other than precision shooters.
Returning from his second deployment, Cooley was assigned to various schools to hone his skills as a sniper. The schools included the urban scout sniper school, where Marines perfect techniques for engaging targets in close-quarters environments, and the sniper team leaders course at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
With combat experience as a sniper and his specialty schools completed, Cooley became a team leader for Reaper Two and chief sniper for the platoon. As the most experienced sniper, Cooley became responsible for training schedules, running the ranges and ensuring the platoons Marines are fully trained.
Recently serving with Battalion Landing Team 2/1, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, Cooley was presented with unique training opportunities during the six-month Okinawa iteration. As part of the SSP, he was able to train on aerial platform shoots, amphibious raids and in Okinawas Jungle Warfare Training Center.
The MEU gives us a rare chance to operate not only in different environments, but also with different countries militaries, he said. We gain a wider outlook on our profession when we adapt to foreign variables outside of the desert-oriented operations that have been going on for the past 10 years.
Now, with BLT 2/1 rotating back to Camp Pendleton, Cooley is as passionate and dedicated as ever to his job from all he has learned and experienced, something that reflects to the Marines in his charge.
I joined the platoon July of last year, and I quickly recognized him as one of the best team leaders of the bunch, said Sgt. John Lynch, assistant team leader with Reaper Two and a native of Coarsegold, Calif. He demands excellence in everything we do with no room for failure, always remaining tactical during operations. There hasnt been a time where weve failed a mission or have been compromised.
Sniping will forever remain in Cooleys blood, eternal as the HOG tooth around his neck.

Desktop Photography
with Dennis Curtin
One thing digital cameras are great for is photographing small objectscoins, jewelry, prints, maps, even insects--anything that will fit on a tabletop. You can put photos of things in your collection right onto the Web or make prints to file in a safe deposit box for insurance purposes.
When doing tabletop photography with a digital camera, you have a huge advantage over film cameras because you can review your results and make adjustments as you shoot. Just delete the bad images and try something new. A film photographer has to wait to get the film back from the lab before they can make adjustments. By then, they have probably taken apart the tabletop setup or forgotten what it was they did. Take advantage of your instant feedback to experiment and learn.
The guidelines that follow are just that--guidelines. Feel free to experiment and break the rules. Never let the fact that you don't have something like a light source stop you. Innovate and experiment. That's how great photographs are taken.
Choosing A Lens
The lens you choose for this kind of photography depends partly on the size of the objects being photographed. Photographing stamps or coins requires a different lens than photographing a collection of African art. Of course with most digital cameras, you don't have much of a choice, so make do with what you have.
Here are some things to think about when it comes to lenses and tabletop photography:
- Minimum focusing distance determines how close you can get to a subject. The closer you can get to it, the larger it will be in the final image. A tiny coin surrounded by a large background isn't what you're trying to get. You're trying to get a large coin surrounded by a small background.
- Macro mode is a special lens mode offered on some cameras. Using this mode allows you to get a lot closer to the subject, making it much larger in the final image.
- Supplemental lenses may be available for your camera. Many point and shoot cameras won't have screw threads to make mounting it easy, but you can carefully tape it on.
- Cropping. If you can't get close enough to an object to fill the image area, you can always crop out the unwanted areas later. Just keep in mind that you don't have a lot of pixels to begin with and the more you crop, the lower the images resolution will become.
Focusing and Depth of Field
If you look at some close-up photographs, you will notice that very few of them appear to be completely sharp from foreground to background; in other words, the depth of field in a close-up tends to be shallow. The depth of field in an image depends on how small an aperture you use and how close you are to a subject. When you get the camera really close, don't expect much depth of field -- maybe as little as a half-inch. It's best to arrange the objects so they all fall on the same plane. That way, if one's in focus, they all will be. Another thing to try with a zoom lens, is to use a wider angle of view. This will give you more depth of field if you don't also have to move the camera closer to the subject (doing so will offset the advantage of the wide-angle lens). If you are photographing flat objects such as prints, posters, or stamps, be sure the camera back is parallel to the subject.
Also, when you focus, keep in mind that depth of field includes the plane you focus on plus an area in front of and behind that plane. You'll find that about one-third of the sharpest area will fall in front of the plane on which you focus and two-thirds behind it.
Shallow depth of field has its own benefits, so you don't necessarily have to think of it as a problem. An out-of-focus background can help isolate a small subject, making it stand out sharply.
Parallax, The Curse Of Point-And-Shoot Cameras
Point and shoot cameras often have an optical viewfinder through which you compose your shots. However, the axis of this viewfinder, unlike an SLR, is offset from the axis of the lens. This means that the closer you get to a subject, the more likely it is that you are seeing a view that is different from, and offset slightly from the one seen by the image sensor. You can adjust for this by slightly shifting the camera in the direction of the viewfinder. For example, if the distance between the lens and the viewfinder is 2", compose the picture, then shift the camera 2" to the side. If the viewfinder is to the right of the lens (from your position behind the camera), shift the camera 2" to the right.
Setting Exposures
The exposure procedure for Tabletop photography isn't a lot different from normal photography but you have the opportunity to control lighting. The biggest difficulty may arise from automatic exposure. Many close-up photographs are of small objects that don't entirely fill the viewfinder frame. Automatic exposure systems can be fooled if the brightness of the small object is very different from the brightness of the brightness of the larger background. The meter averages all of the light reflecting from the scene and may select an exposure that over- or underexposes the main subject. One solution is to make a substitute reading of a gray card and then use exposure compensation to get the right exposure settings.
Gray cards, available from your camera store, are usually white on one side, gray on the other. The gray side reflects 18% of the light falling on it, the same percentage of light that your camera's exposure system expects and average scene to reflect. In other words, the gray card produces the amount of reflectance the meter needs to calculate the correct exposure. Here's how to meter the card:
Position the card so that the same amount of light falls on it as on your subject when seen from the angle at which you'll be shooting. You can usually do this by positioning the card parallel to the back of the camera.
Focus through the viewfinder. Move close enough so that the card fills the entire image area.
Meter the card and note the exposure settings indicated in the viewfinder and use these settings to take the photograph. If they are different from the settings indicated when focusing on the actual object. Use exposure compensation to override the automatic exposure system.

Hi. Happy 2006. Welcome to the Carnival of Debt Reduction as hosted by the Frugal Duchess all this week!!! It's a great way to start the standard calendar/solar New Year!
With thanks to the MightyBargainhunter.com, I present the Carnival of Debt Reduction. Debt is an important subject and slicing down debt tops the 2006 agenda for many of us.
For the Carnival of Debt Reduction, I have some great submissions and I will be adding entries through the end of the day, Saturday, Jan. 7, 2006. So, if you have any ideas about reducing debt, drop me a note (email@example.com) or file a comment on this blog. I will continue to update the Carnival until 11:59 (EST) Jan. 7.
Thanks to those who have submitted ideas, examples and technical advice! Thanks to everyone for stopping by the carnival.
By the way, next week's Carnival of Debt will be hosted by Personal Finance Advice
And speaking of Personal Finance Advice, the developer of that site offers the following insights about debt reduction.
Debt and Motivation
Here is a quick summary of the article:
"One of the essential ingredients of debt reduction is finding a
motivating factor to tackle your debt."
Full article
"I received an email that asked what it takes to get out of debt. I
don't think there is an easy cookie cutter answer to this. Yes, it
means spending less than you're making and making payments toward the
debt. That's the simple answer, but what I've found is that for the
majority of those who pull themselves out of debt, they have embraced
a compelling reason to get out of debt.
There is more to overcoming debt than merely wanting it to go away and
knowing how to accomplish this. Before any debt reduction plan can
work, you will have to be committed to get out of debt. That is, you
have to find a reason that is more powerful than not doing anything at
all. Not doing anything at all may seem like a silly response, but
it's what most people do. While not doing anything may seem to be the
worst choice, the real life problem is that people have the imagine
that tackling debt takes a lot of time, effort and pain to accomplish.
The pain associated with being in debt has to conquer the pain they
imagine it will take to get out of debt.
Many of the people that contact me seem to be looking for a quick and
easy fix. They keep searching for a quick fix and don't do anything
while searching for it. While I don't believe getting out of debt has
to be as painful as many imagine, it does take dedication and a change
in current lifestyle.
How difficult this change will be depends heavily on how committed the
person is to getting out of debt. If they have truly made a
commitment, they'll find that saving more of the money they make is
actually quite simple (although it may take come practice). On the
other hand, if a person isn't fully committed to erase all their debt,
or they're simply searching for an easy way out with no effort
expended, they'll likely find the necessary steps to get out of debt
much more difficult, if not impossible.
What I think it comes down to for the vast majority of people is that
in order to be committed to reduce their debt, they have to find that
compelling reason that allows them to face the imagined pain the debt
reduction will cause. There has to be something that has finally made
them realize that the current state of affairs can't continue. It can
be as simple as realizing that their current budget isn't working or
as urgent as having creditors knocking at their door or telephoning
them at all hours of the day and night. The ultimate reason isn't near
as important as that whatever that reason is will compel the person to
tackle the debt. Once a person has a reason, they can use it to
motivate and to do what it takes to reduce the debt in a systematic
