Why Character Can't Be Taught Like The Pythagorean Theorem
Can character be taught to kids? Author Paul Tough writes about how kids develop character through relationships with caring adults instead of through formal lessons.
Can character be taught to kids? Author Paul Tough writes about how kids develop character through relationships with caring adults instead of through formal lessons.
In the age-old fight between hard work and talent, researcher Anders Ericsson says it's no contest. Practice wins the day.
Traditional schools are not designed to help students living in chronic stress succeed academically. Author Paul Tough explores what schools can do to help students learn.
The updated federal education law is trying to be more well-rounded, but could the plan backfire when states' include social and emotional factors in school performance evaluations?
How do schools that focus on character affect students? One researcher took a close look by comparing schools that focus on moral, civic and performance character.
Angela Duckworth worries that when it comes to measuring students' resilience, education policy may be getting ahead of science.
Educators are pushing back against the notion that kids need to develop perseverance to get through school they find boring. Part of the responsibility is on the school.
In Age of Opportunity, psychologist Larry Steinberg applies neuroscience to risk-taking, peer influence, the boredom of high school and other adolescent conundrums.
Researchers hope that being able to accurately measure how well students resist digital temptations will help them learn about how "academic diligence" features in later life success.
Psychologists are finding that when students are motivated by a desire to have a positive impact on the world they are more able to plug away at challenging or tedious tasks.
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck's work on growth mindsets has dominated much of the attention around how students can influence their own learning. But there are other ways to help students tap into their own motivation, too. Here are a few other important mindsets to consider.
Education circles are abuzz with a new concept: that resilience and persistence are just as important as intelligence to predicting student success and achievement. But can "grit" actually be taught?
From Jackie Gerstein's resource-rich site comes this sweet infographic depicting the skills we'd like to instill in our students. The post also includes a long, helpful list of resources for everything from how to help students develop hope, to encouraging empathy and social and emotional skills, to how to foster grit, tenacity and perseverance: an educator's guide.
Increasingly, educators are looking to research about how kids learn to influence teaching practices and tools. What seemed like on-the-fringe experiments, like game-based learning, have turned into real trends, and have gradually made their way into many (though certainly not most) classrooms.

Once again, ALRI is on the cutting edge of sports nutrition - this time in the protein category with HumaPro! HumaPro is a revolutionary supplement breakthrough that ALRI has been working on since 1998! This truly one of a kind protein matrix claims that 1 gram of HumaPro is the equivalent of almost 6 grams of the standard whey protein isolate cluttering the market today - now that is progress! In addition, HumaPro claims to be 99% anabolic which will be extremely beneficial to those seeking to add muscle, recovery and even keep the body fat levels low. One of the success ingredient factors of HumaPro is the specific vegetable origin 8 essential amino acid profile. The extended time-release proprietary anti-catabolic and insulingenic aspect of HumaPro makes it very effective. In addition to nutrient repartioning and enhanced NNU / cellular nutrient uptake, HumaPro is essentially and potential the best protein source coming to the market today!
Key Features:
- A 99:1 Anabolic to Catabolic Ratio complete protein
- Anti-Catabolic Support
- Enhanced NNU and Cellular Nutrient Up-Take
- Nutrient Repartitioning That Starves the Fat and Feeds Lean Mass
- A decrease in growth/recovery limiting Myostatin (No joke)
- The Best Protein Source on the Planet
What is HumaPro
Humapro™ is a patent pending one of a kind protein matrix that we started working on in 1998. Humapro™ starts with a specific vegetable origin 8 essential amino acid (EAAs) formulation that takes into account the exact HUMAN enzymic conversion of, and utilization rates for, all amino acids the body needs for optimal health. Did you know that if you removed even one of the EAAs from your diet for the day your body would use none of the protein you take in? Okay, for lean mass growth that is. The human body will use the insufficient protein to make glucose, if needed, certainly store some as fat and give you plenty of me time in the bathroom to deposit the lions share. So an exact ratio is paramount. Why? The human body makes literally thousands of amino acids from the 8 EAAs so they must be in the right ratios for the right conversion rates. Enlarge the chart below to get an idea of just how complex this metabolic miracle isand a better idea as to why the correct ratios results in a nearly pure anabolic complex.
The Protein
We nanosized certain EAAs so all 8 EAAs pass through the GI and into the body at the same rate to assure that all 8 EAAs are present at the protein receptors at the same time. If they arent, you again limit anabolism potential. We did this for maximal results and to allow for a immediate release ingestion to assimilation time of 20-25 minutes depending upon your GI track. Oh, did I mention that Humapro™ has a caloric count of 0.4 calories per gram? Regular proteins have a calorie value of 4 calories per gram. Talk about no waste so you have a tighter waist! Think about how much more healthy food you can eat to stimulate growth, performance and health whether dieting or increasing lean mass.
The Extended Time-Release Proprietary Anti-Catabolic and Insulingenic Matrix
Next we formulated an extended time-release anti-catabolic and insulingenic matrix from bitter melon and a specific coffee bean extract to assure serious inhibition of lean mass loss while significantly increasing cellular up-take of nutrients. This affect lasts for up to 12 hours so all of your other meals are ingested in a high lean mass nutrient up-take, low catabolic pro-anabolism environment. I guess I should mention that the matrix has two powerful antioxidants as well.
Oh, but insulingenic compounds inhibit fat loss and increase SHBG. You know, that protein that binds and makes useless your sex hormones like testosterone? More SHBG means less in short. Well, we at ALR Industries do not do kitchen sink formulas! The fractional extraction process we worked on for the last 4 years creates a series of insulingenic compounds that are lipolytic meaning they inhibit fat from feeding rather than increase it. This allows Humapro™ to act as a repartitioning product as well in favor of lean mass low fat augmentation by everyone. By the way, the insulingenic matrix we created also does not increase SHBG like natural or medical insulin does.
Oh, and yes its true that many anti-catabolic compounds decrease joint and connective tissue lubrication but ours doesnt. Instead of inhibiting the production of cortisone (supports and maintains good joint and connective tissue health) like many so-called anti-catabolic compounds, we inhibited the non-essential increase in cortisol. As a rule the body sees stress like training, long work hours, a pissed off significant other or dieting as a trigger to increase cortisol which in turn decreases lean mass, hinder performance and slows recovery. It also doesnt do anything good for our cardio vascular systems or organs. The way this occurs is predominantly through conversion of cortisone to cortisol. Personally I would rather recover faster, perform better and be in a pro-anabolic environment with healthy joints and connective tissue.
This means Humapro™ is the ultimate foundation or sole protein source for mixed, keto or even high carbohydrate diets. No other protein has beaten us yet! Cool, huh?

The Bank's monetary policy committee is widely tipped to freeze the cost of borrowing at a 48-year low of 3.5% when its two-day meeting ends on Thursday.
A no-change decision would follow July's surprise cut, backed by all nine MPC members apart from the Bank's new Deputy Governor, Rachel Lomax.
A Reuters poll of 42 economists found them unanimous in predicting that the MPC would keep policy unchanged. Indeed, some experts are even questioning whether last month's policy easing was a mistake. 'The latest rate cut will further exacerbate the imbalances evident in the economy,' said John Butler at HSBC.
Top of the MPC's agenda will be the rebound in consumer spending, apparently paid for on the never-never. The hottest June since 1976 led to a surge in High Street sales as shoppers snapped up summer clothes, barbecues and picnic food. Retail sales leapt by 1.9% compared with figures for May, the biggest one-month increase since November 2001.
A few days later, figures showed Britons borrowed a record £10bn in June, taking total debt to £878bn - equivalent to £35,000 per household or about 120% of disposable income. Following warnings from the Treasury Select Committee that many people's appetite for debt was putting their futures on the line, the MPC will be reluctant to encourage borrowing further.
Also arguing in favour of a steady-hand policy is tentative evidence that the manufacturing sector may have finally turned a corner. The latest CIPS/Reuters purchasing managers' report, regarded as a reliable barometer, shows the first expansion in activity for nine months.
On the doves' checklist will be the unexpected fall in inflation to 2.8% and further evidence that the housing market is cooling. Economist Philip Shaw at Investec said: 'We think it extremely unlikely that the MPC will move rates in either direction.'

The nootropic properties of ginseng saponin Rb1 are linked to effects on anxiety

Previous studies have shown that crude ginseng extracts enhance performance on shock-motivated tasks. Whether such performance enhancements are due to memory-enhancing (nootropic) properties of ginseng, or to other non-specific effects such as an influence on anxiety has not been determined. In the present study, we evaluated both the nootropic and anxiolytic effects of the ginseng saponin Rb1. In the first experiment, 80 five-day-old male chicks received intraperitoneal injections of 0, 0.25, 2.5 or 5.0 mg/kg Rb1. Performance on a visual discrimination task was uvaluted 15 minutes, 24 and 72 hours later. Acquisition of a visual discrimination task was unaffected by drug treatment, but the number of errors was significantly reduced in the 0.25 mg/kg group during retention trials completed 24 and 72 hours after injection. Animals receiving higher dosages showed trends towards enhancement initially, but demonstrated impaired performance when tested 72 hours later. Rb1 had no effect on response rates or body weight. In the second experiment, 64 five-day-old male chicks received similar injections of Rb1 (0, 0.25, 2.5 or 5.0 mg/kg) and separation distress was evaluated 15 minutes, 24 and 72 hours later. Rb1 produced a change in separation distress that depended on the dose and environmental condition under which distress was recorded. These data suggest that Rb1 can improve memory for a visual discrimination task and that the nootropic effect may be related to changes in anxiety.

Creating change in your life
There is no simple set of instructions for proceeding with a personal change process. Some people can reflect and then begin to plan and implement changes. Others work with the people closest to them—family and friends—to create changes. Still others vacillate back and forth, either because they are not clear what to change or because they cannot find the energy to motivate them to begin.
Change represents a very deep commitment and consequential decision. It should not be done impulsively or initiated too quickly. First, select an area of your life in which you would like to see change. Then, spend time imagining alternative possibilities. When you envision concretely, you begin to see consequences and have the opportunity to experience what the projected change would be like in your life. Many times, the envisioning process helps you see unintended consequences, or lack of clarity in your decisions or plans.
Often, merely setting ourselves free from the way things are now and envisioning or thinking about how things can be different, is a highly creative act. We see things that we never looked at before. As you generate alternatives, let them come up without criticism. When you have a large list of possibilities, try to explore their possible consequences and results.
The methods are up to you.
Change requires a clear decision and a personal will to take risks and attempt new behavior. It often involves practicing new skills and learning new methods of response. Given the range of possibilities and shifting demands of our lives, a person who does not welcome change and learn new things will be seriously handicapped.

The Cleveland Cavaliers appear to be stepping up to the plate in a big way. No, they haven't lured LeBron James(notes) back to northern Ohio, and they aren't embarking on a much-needed rebuilding project. But they are reportedly giving a job and a house to a man made famous on the Internet on Tuesday.
By now you've surely heard the tale of Ted Williams, a man with a gorgeous radio voice who, beset by personal problems, was left homeless and looking for work at the side of the road in Columbus, Ohio.
If you haven't seen our friend Ted, here's the introductory video that made its way throughout the Internet on Tuesday:
Smooth stuff indeed. And according to the New York Post, the Cavs have taken the lead amongst the many that have offered Williams a job:
"The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!," repeated a stunned Williams, 71, on local radio station WNCI.
A caller to the show who said she represented the Cavs offered Williams, who shot to stardom after local newspaper the Columbus Dispatch on Monday posted video of his perfectly-pitched panhandling, a full-time job doing voiceover work for the team and parent company and a free home in Cleveland.
Incredibly cool, and a gracious and much-appreciated move by the Cavaliers. Though he won't be handling play-by-play duties, at the very least, Williams could make for an inspired pairing with the notoriously gruff-voiced Austin Carr, who handles on-air color commentary for the Cavaliers, in some capacity.
NFL Films, CNBC's Darren Rovell also reported, is trying to get in touch with Williams about a potential job offer as well.
And the Cavaliers aren't the only ones in the giving spirit.
It's been hard to be a Zach Randolph(notes) fan, through the years. From his dust-ups with teammates in practice to a series of sexual assault accusations, to the lesser crimes of sometimes acting a bit selfish on the court, Randolph hasn't made it easy to root for the talented power forward of the Memphis Grizzlies.
But this helps. From the Associated Press:
Randolph has donated money to help with utilities payments for 100 Memphis families who were behind on their bills.
That's about as good as it gets. With the holidays past and families still wondering how they're going to scrape enough to juggle one paid bill with another overdue mark, to have Randolph swoop in like that? That's changing some lives.
Good on ya, Zach.

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons New Mexican Hatch green-chile powder or other mild green-chile powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 12 chicken thighs on the bone, trimmed of excess skin
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 pound baby arugula
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 1/2 pound queso fresco or farmer cheese, crumbled (2 cups)
- Creamy Grits, for serving
Preheat the oven to 325°. Spread the butter in a medium roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the chile powder, coriander and oregano with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the seasonings generously over the chicken thighs, pressing to help them adhere.
Transfer the chicken to the roasting pan, skin side down. Cover the chicken with foil and roast for 1 hour. Turn the chicken thighs and roast, uncovered, for 25 minutes longer, until they are cooked through and the pan juices are slightly reduced.
Light the broiler. Broil the chicken 6 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the skin is golden and crisp. Pour the pan juices into a bowl and stir in the parsley and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season the pan juices with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the arugula, cilantro and queso fresco and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the Creamy Grits into shallow bowls and top with the chicken thighs. Mound the salad alongside, drizzle the pan juices all around and serve.

Rockwood fire officials were unsure what caused a blaze that destroyed a downtown landmark. The Mourfield Hotel was built in 1897 and neighbored Rockwood First Christian Church on West Rockwood Street. A first-floor resident, Freeman Denney, 79, told authorities he found his apartment on fire after going upstairs to see if frozen pipes had thawed.

Assembly and petition are the "quiet freedoms" among the five rights set out in the First Amendment.
Speech, press and religion are more often – or at least, more obviously – in the headlines. But during Black History Month, in February, the quiet kids on this corner of the constitutional block deserve at least as much attention as their better-known brethren.
More than $1.4 million in Rural Development loans were approved last week in Rockwood, enabling Rockwood Water, Sewer and Natural Gas to acquire grants that will allow the city to complete a $2.4 million oxidation ditch project at the wastewater plant this year.
The oxidation ditch typically replaces the sewage aeration tank and provides better sludge treatment using biological organisms. The project is required by a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation director's order.
Roane County's ties to a an icon in federal government were re-established recently.
Last month, a historical marker was resurrected noting that Sam Rayburn, the longest-serving speaker of the House in U.S. Congress, was born and spent his first five years of life here.
Rayburn is more commonly associated with Texas, where his family moved in 1887, but he never forgot his Roane County ties and visited regularly until he died in 1961.
His father, William Marion Rayburn, was a Confederate soldier.
Roane County experienced a 100-percent increase in meth lab seizures last year.
The total for 2012 was 24, according to statistics provided by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
In 2011, there was 12.
The number of seizures also increased statewide. Last year's total was 1,811, up from 1,689 in 2011.
This year isn't shaping up to be better. Several labs were discovered in Roane County last month.
We Americans are the unusual ones in terms of eating insects. It's a standard thing in other countries. A recent survey in Nigeria found that about seven out of 10 people ate caterpillars.
Dry-roasted queen ants are served at cocktail parties in Colombia, and roasted grasshoppers can be found in the gourmét frozen-food aisles of supermarkets in Japan.
The Midway Green Wave hosted the Rockwood Tigers Friday night in the first meeting this season between the two District 3-A and Roane County foes.
The teams will meet again on Monday, Feb. 11 at Rockwood to end the district and regular season schedule.
The Kingston Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets made the short trip to Loudon Friday night to take on their heated rivals, but the trip back from Loudon was a long one as the Redskins and Lady 'Skins picked up a sweep in the District 4-AA affair.

Milton Friedman Quotes About InflationQuotes about: Inflation
Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output. ... A steady rate of monetary growth at a moderate level can provide a framework under which a country can have little inflation and much growth. It will not produce perfect stability; it will not produce heaven on earth; but it can make an important contribution to a stable economic society.
Central bankers always try to avoid their last big mistake. So every time there's the threat of a contraction in the economy, they'll over stimulate the economy, by printing too much money. The result will be a rising roller coaster of inflation, with each high and low being higher than the preceding one.
Significant changes in the growth rate of money supply, even small ones, impact the financial markets first. Then, they impact changes in the real economy, usually in six to nine months, but in a range of three to 18 months. Usually in about two years in the US, they correlate with changes in the rate of inflation or deflation."
"The leads are long and variable, though the more inflation a society has experienced, history shows, the shorter the time lead will be between a change in money supply growth and the subsequent change in inflation.

White House chief of staff Bill Daley is known for being candid, but some comments he made in an interview published today are turning heads.
"On the domestic side, both Democrats and Republicans have really made it very difficult for the president to be anything like a chief executive," Daley says in an interview published by Politico. "This has led to a kind of frustration."
White House press secretary Jay Carney attempted to soften Daley's bluntness this afternoon by explaining that Democrats haven't agreed with President Obama on every issue -- most notably on debt ceiling talks earlier this year when the president's party bristled at his attempt to hatch a grand bargain with Speaker John Boehner.
"Let's be clear about what the overwhelming obstacle here is to getting things done that the American people want, and that is understood by the chief of staff, the vice president, the president, everybody else here," Carney said. "The obstacle to getting things done that the American people want done on the economy and jobs has been congressional Republicans."
In the wide-ranging interview with columnist Roger Simon, Daley is candid and occasionally salty in explaining the tough road ahead for the White House. Looking ahead to the election, Daley says it's going to be close no matter who the Republicans nominate to take on President Obama.
"Look at '08, the president got 53% of the vote," Daley says. "Against a relatively older candidate who had Sarah Palin as a running mate! And he gets [only] 53% of the vote! So why would this not be a close election?"
He says Obama's low-approval rating is not unexpected considering the dismal state of the economy.
"It's been a brutal three years," he says. "It's been a very, very difficult three years, an incredible three years. And we are doing all this under the overhang of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. F—k! It wasn't like all this was happening in good times."
He also chaffed at suggestions by Simon that White House staffers miss the days of his notoriously acerbic predecessor, Rahm Emanuel, who is now the mayor of Chicago and Richard M. Daley's successor.
Some of the articles critical of Bill Daley have said Emanuel was far more adept as chief of staff. This is an accusation likely to rankle Daley, considering he kick-started Emanuel's career by hiring him for his brother's first successful mayor's race.
People are asking if you are as good as Rahm, I say to Daley.
"It's pathetic, isn't it?" Daley responds, laughing.
Rahm wouldn't say it, I say.
"Rahm would say it!" Daley says. "Maybe I missed it — I wasn't here the first two years — but I don't think Rahm was as beloved (as people now say)."
Rahm was famous for calling reporters, do you call reporters? I ask.
"I call; I'm not as aggressive leaking and stroking," Daley says. "I'm not reflecting on Rahm, but I'm not angling for something else, you know? Rahm is a lot younger [Emmanuel is 51], and he knew he was going to be doing something else in two years or four years or eight years, and I'm in a different stage. I'm not going to become the leaker in chief."

The unstoppable force of inflation seemed to be hurtling towards the immovable object of deflation.
But yesterday morning, we checked the headlines. What happened?
First, let's look at inflation.
The most inflationary price of all is the price of oil. And guess what? Oil hit a new all-time high on Friday – at US$98. The hundred dollar mark is less than the cost of a cup of coffee away.
What will US$100 oil mean? Use your imagination, dear reader.
Over the weekend, we went back to France to celebrate Thanksgiving at our old country house. We drive a Nissan Patrol, which Elizabeth uses to pull a horse van. Filling it up, we watched the numbers fly around on the pump; we thought we were watching the world population counter. By the time the figures came to a rest, we owed the station nearly 140 euros – or more than US$200. The high price comes from several sources.
Gasoline is always more expensive in Europe than in America; the Europeans tax it more heavily. Plus, oil itself is more expensive worldwide. Finally, the euro is a much stronger currency. Result: pain at the pump.
In America, as in Europe, the rising price of gasoline is much more painful at the bottom of the income pyramid than it is at the top. It's at the bottom where inflation is most keenly felt. That's where people who spend more on gas have less to spend on other things.
A lower dollar is inflationary. On world markets you get less for your money. Meaning, prices rise. Since so much of what goes around the world eventually comes around to the US domestic market, soon consumer prices rise in the United States, too.
There was also a back-eddy in the stock market on Friday. The Dow gained 181 points. We call it a "back-eddy" because it looks to us as though the tide is running in the other direction – but we could be wrong.
And gold – the ultimate measure of paper currency inflation – shot up US$26. Ooh la la. We saw the correction in the gold market coming; our problem was that we didn't see it going. Gold was clearly ready to do some backing and filling a couple of weeks ago – when the price shot up over US$830. We knew we would soon have an opportunity to buy it more cheaply. Trouble was, the correction was so fast and so short; it came and went before we had a chance to react. Last week, gold had practically already recovered. And this week, we wouldn't be surprised to set it hit that old milestone from 27 years ago – US$850. In fact, we wouldn't be too surprised to see it knock over the milestone and keep on going.
Nevertheless, this morning, the force of inflation looks less unstoppable than it did last week. Up against the immovable object of falling prices, inflation looks like it might come to a halt.
Everywhere we look; there are more signs of a slump. Two year Treasuries have been having a nice bull run; they're now yielding less than 4%. Holiday shopping fell short of last year's binge by 3.5%.
"Don't look now; here comes the recession," says Fortune.
Finally, the press is putting two and two together:
Americans owe more money than ever before – including US$11 trillion of mortgage debt. And their #1 asset – the main collateral behind all this debt – is falling in price. Housing prices are down 5% so far, nationwide. Robert Shiller, whose index tracks the housing market, says this could turn out much worse than people expect. The last major downturn in housing was '25-'33, when prices fell 30%. A 30% drop in the value of America's housing stock today would turn the immovable object of deflation into something closer to a black hole.
It could "create a nightmare effect", says an Associated Press report.
"Subprime mess to worsen", says the Wall Street Journal.
"Subprime woes leaking into economy", says another article.
Let's see, a 30% drop in housing prices is equal to, more or less…US$6 trillion down the black hole of deflation. Hey…a trillion here…a trillion there…

text: hi guys, I'm having some issues with sharing folders under windows 7. But let me first say that I use the german version of windows so my terminiology may not always be right (not to mention my english ;-)) ... I hope you get it nonetheless. So I'm describing the steps I did (numerous times -_-) so you guys see if maybe I did something wrong. I want to share a folder. So I right-click on the folder, select the tab "sharing" and then use "advanced sharing". I check "share this folder", click the button "permissions". "everyone" is already in the list of users, so I simply give complete access (read/write) to everyone, than click OK on all the windows. what happens? the folder is shared, that's alright, but NOT for everyone but only for me (blackwolf). so only people who know my username and password can access the share, but that's not what I wanted. also, when I click on the folder in explorer in the bottom details-bar it says "shared for: blackwolf". although when I go back to the permissions windows only "everyone" is in the list of permissions and all the checkboxes are checked for everyone. what am I doing wrong here? second thing: If I try the wizard, sharing for "everyone" does work, the problem is that windows seems too stupid to share the folder decent (I had the same problem with the wizard under vista). so for example if I share "C:/Users/BlackWolf/My Music/some folder/" using the wizard, he's not sharing that as \\mypc\some folder\ but rather as "\\my pc\users\blackwolf\..." you get the point. that alone wouldn't be that bad. what IS bad is that - for some reason - the wizard is not only sharing my folder, but also a lot of other stuff in my users folder (appData folder and stuff like that) - even though it is marked as "not shared" in windows I can see and access it from other computers (but not the complete folder, only some files ... it's really strange). so any ideas? I've not been able to make one share the way I wanted since windows vista (I had the same problems with vista, but I thought I post them here anyway). I'm working around that by copying all stuff I want to share to my public folder, but that sucks as well. Can't be THAT difficult to make decent shares, can it? I'd even accept registry hacks or thrid party tools to do it. woah ... that was a long text. I hope I made my steps and problems clear. If not just ask and I'll try again thanks blackwolf

Level 434 is the ninth level in Rainbow Runway and the 183rd jelly level. To pass this level, you must crush 36 double jelly squares in 60 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
- It is easy to fail this level as there are 12 candy bombs in areas with empty tiles above them. Also, there are double jelly squares that are close to the chocolate spawner and are hard to reach. In addition, two-layered icing is present.
- The jellies are worth 72,000 points.[1] Hence, an additional 33,000 points is required to earn one star.
- Due to the given candy bombs, there is no difficulty in reaching the one star target score.[2]
- Try to get rid of the candy bombs, and try to clear as much jelly as possible without releasing the chocolate spawner. To get rid of the bombs, it is best to make a striped candy + colour bomb combination. Triggering them in the second or eighth column will wipe out an entire quadrant of candy bombs.
- Another method of eliminating an entire side is to make a wrapped candy, move it into a cell in the third row from bottom, the third or seventh column, then trigger it. The first explosion will destroy one of the bombs and allow the active wrapped candy to slide into the middle of the quadrant and explode, eliminating the entire quadrant.
- When the icings around the chocolate spawner are destroyed, you will have to spend many moves battling with chocolate. This is unavoidable because there are jellies under the icing.
- For the jellies, a striped and wrapped candy combination will do a lot in this level, just like most other jelly levels. A wrapped + wrapped combination is another option.

Good Morning,
The stragglers have awakened! Aussie sound demon Toecutter is completing his submission, and longtime Shavian comrade Newton will soon be fixing hellish hot rails to his mix. Three discs of madness, on their way to you, the faithful. I've updated the poster...
Watched (90% of) Jerzy Skolimowski's astounding, hallucinatory 1966 film Bariera last night with the CP.
(Jan Nowicki, on the always-smouldering suitcase, and the legs of Joanna Szczerbic, in Jerzy Skolimowski's near-perfect Bariera.)
Sleep intervened, but not from disenchantment - we'd already spent over an hour with Monday's Daily Show and the final (season three) episode of Mad Men, and as working stiffs, stamina extends only so far. Will lose myself in the remainder of Bariera later in the afternoon...

Donald Pliner Fifi Sandals is rated out of 5 by 236.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Transfergirl from Really cute! I love this sandal. I like a small platform because I have a hard time wearing heels. These are perfect with a summer dress or shorts or jeans. They are super comfortable and people comment on them every time I wear them.
Date published: 2017-06-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by StellaTella from Nice shoe Comfy, but need breaking in at toe strap. Easy way to add a couple inches to height. Feel stable to walk in, not slippery on bottom. Not sure if price point is fair until I wear and see if they hold up for years as a high quality shoe does. True to size and neither loose nor tight in width. I've never seen these worn by anyone so curious to see what people think. It's a very cool and modern look.

Rated 5 out of 5 by wgi13554 from Sexy comfortable shoes Love this shoe....I recommend ordering a 1/2 size down if you have a narrow foot.
Date published: 2017-06-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joyfulmom61 from Perfect! I have loved the style of this sandal for some time but it was a bit beyond my budget. This spring I was looking for a gunmetal sandal for a particular grey linen pant. When this was available for 25% off, I splurged. It is exactly the perfect compliment to my outfit plus it was comfortable on the first wear. My favorite new footwear for the summer!
Date published: 2017-06-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by FromWhereIStand from Gorgeous sandles! Beautiful, elegant sandals. And comfortable. I chose the rose, which is a soft, lovely shade. I plan to wear these a lot. More expensive than I'm used to paying for sandals, but I'm glad I did.
Date published: 2017-05-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Packerfan from Go to shoes I have these in black patent leather (last season) and in the soft rose. The orange ones, my favorites, finally wore out. They cost more than I usually spend for sandals but are worth it because I wear them constantly. They are equally good with jeans and a sun dress. They are perfect to pack on a trip because they are so versatile and you can walk in them.
Date published: 2017-04-29
i am between an 8!/2 and 9... which would you suggest in the Donald Pliner Fifi? thanks!
I sized up 1/2 size from an 8 to an 8.5 and I have had several pair. This is rare for me, I am consistently an 8, but they are narrow, and although my feet are slim the extra space fit my foot better. I do find this more critical in sandals. I hope this is helpful!
Date published: 2017-05-27
Except for the toe area, the footbed looks rather flat. Do these sandals have strong arch support?
I would say no. At the same time, these are probably my favorite sandals. They are stylish and comfortable - and this is from someone who has had surgery for a Lisfranc fracture.
Date published: 2017-05-27
On the White-beaded sandal, is the footbed/sole black or dark brown?
The white beaded sandal has a black sole and footbed.
Date published: 2014-03-11
Is the gunmetal color a cool gray or more of a taupe neutral?
It is a cool gray.
Date published: 2016-07-13
How are the bead affixed to the beaded sandals? And will the tops of the sandals have the same slight "give" as the regular leather sandals?
The "beads" are tiny particles, similar to what one might find on a fancy greeting card, and are adhered to the leather with a special glue; the beads have properties that catch & reflect light, giving a shimmery effect to the vamp strap. The comfort is entirely unchanged, with a supple leather upper (very soft & pliable), contoured leather footbed, 1 1/4" stacked leather heel, and rubber sole.

"I remember when I was younger I thought I had no chance," said Walker, now one of the most coveted prospects in the 2013 recruiting class. "I had no chance of anything like this."
It was likely hard to imagine he'd enjoy this trajectory on the court this soon, as the five star power forward out Bonifay (Fla.) Holmes County is ranked as the No. 6 prospect in his class by Scout.com.
And he has the offer list to show for it.
"Last offer I got was a week and a half ago from Kansas State. I now have 21 offers," said the 6-10, 205-pound Walker. " Things are going really good so far. My recruitment is really now starting to pick up and I have just been getting offers… It's been a blessing."
And where there's top talent you'll usually find Ohio State's coaching staff, as both head coach Thad Matta and assistant Dave Dickerson have been hot on the trail of the young star.
Already offering Walker a scholarship, both Matta and Dickerson have been in close contact with the junior. Walker, who some would say will be a tough pull for northern schools out of Florida, said he was high on the Buckeyes.
Walker, however, said distance isn't a factor in what school he ends up choosing.
"Everything (in my recruitment) is open right now, but if I had to do a top five I'd say Ohio State, Florida, Kentucky, Florida State, and Kansas," Walker said before continuing on about what he likes about the Buckeyes basketball program.
"I like the style (Ohio State's) play and my relationship with Coach Dickerson," Walker said. "Both he and Coach Matta are recruiting me. They call whenever he gets a chance to, you know how the rules are now a days, so when they get a chance they call."
Walker said current Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger is a player he looks up to, as both had recent interactions on Twitter Sept. 6. When Walker contacted Sullinger to update him on his recruitment, the current Buckeye told Walker "you will be in love" when he sees Ohio State's campus.
"I like Jared's game a lot," Walker said. "Now he can play outside and inside so it is going to be hard for anybody to stop him. He can shoot now, too. I talked to him on Twitter. He is someone I look up to.
"I want to visit (Ohio State) as soon as I can," Walker continued. "I would take an official visit there. I am going to try and do it the next few weeks. I'd like to get up there and see everything."
Though Walker has two more high schools seasons before getting to college he admitted talking openly with coaches recruiting him about the potential of being a 1-and-done at the next level.
Florida's Billy Donovan reportedly told Walker that he has the potential to raise his draft stock that high in only one year in college. Matta, who has had a long list of 1-and-dones during his time at Ohio State, told him the same.
"That's something that's in my mind. I feel like if I have a chance to go one-and-done I am just going to take it," Walker said. "He said he thinks I have the ability to be one-and-done also and he was just telling me about their program and everything. He said he is OK with it."
Walker plans on seeing through all of his options. After all, he has all the time in the world before he will be under pressure to make his college selection.
For now, Walker is content playing hard and watching the offers come in.
"I think rankings are rankings. Just to be high, to be top ten on every site, it feels good," he said. "I worked hard all the time. I worked at it every day. Sometimes even twice a day. I just really played hard and worked hard."
It's already paying off dividends even Walker couldn't have imagined.

Nice jersey! Runs just a little small.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Small
I measure 35" chest and 25" waste and typically wear an XS or S. The small in this jersey is just a bit smaller than I would expect, but it fits well enough for me to keep it. If in doubt on the size, you might consider sizing up. Quality and fabric seems great and I purchased the matching Castelli shorts which looks super together.

Farmer City shooting victim showed up at store
FARMER CITY — A gunshot victim sought help at the Huck's convenience store in Farmer City on Sunday night, and DeWitt County sheriff's deputies have a "person of interest" in custody.
"There is one victim being treated at Carle for a gunshot wound," said Sheriff Jered Shofner, adding the victim showed up at Huck's, 925 E. Clinton Ave., about 9:17 p.m. Sunday. A manager there said the shooting did not occur on the premises.
Shofner said in a press release Monday morning that there appears to be no connection between this shooting and a homicide Saturday in Farmer City.

text: OAKLAND, Calif., March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaiser Permanente health plans in Oregon- Washington and Southern California are the top two overall performing health plans in the nation based on the plans' strong performance in consumer engagement, chronic disease and behavioral health management, according to the 2012 eValue8™ survey released by the National Business Coalition on Health. The annual survey measures quality, performance and value of services provided by health plans. "We are pleased that Kaiser Permanente plans are among the highest-rated plans in this nationwide, comprehensive, independent evaluation," said Arthur M. Southam, MD, executive vice president, Health Plan Operations, Kaiser Permanente. "The recognition reflects our commitment to providing high -quality, excellent service and superior value for our customers, members, patients and communities. It is made possible by the dedication of our people, supported by investments in technology, improvement and innovation." Each health plan was ranked according to its performance in seven categories such as consumer engagement, prevention and health promotion, and chronic disease management. eValue8 ™ was created by business coalitions and large employers such as Marriott and General Motors to measure and evaluate health plan performance. Health plans are evaluated on how they manage and control costs, reduce and eliminate waste, ensure patient safety, close gaps in care and improve health and health care. Based on the information and scores, using plan responses and performance in third-party measures such as HEDIS® (Healthcare Effectiveness Data Information Set, a tool used by over 90 percent of U.S. health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service), purchasers can compare their health plans against previous years' activities as well as against regional, national and historical benchmarks. The goal is for continuous quality improvement. "The plans that participate in eValue8 open themselves up to truly rigorous scrutiny; we see how they work, where they're doing well, what the opportunities are for improvement. It lets us know they're committed to being open and collaborative partners," said Emma Hoo, director of Value-Based Purchasing, Pacific Business Group on Health. Approximately 70 health plans across the country participated in NBCH's 2012 eValue8 survey.

Preparing for such events takes time and discipline but with proper planning, you can make sure you will have enough food to get you through nearly any situation. Having canned good and nonperishables on hand is always recommended for short term needs, but the only way to survive long term is to have your own apocalypse garden up and growing.
Why Garden?Think you can survive off of just what you hunt, fish and trap? You would be wrong. Fruits and vegetables are a vital part of the human diet for an array of nutrients that aren't available anywhere else. One of the most important is Vitamin C. Vitamin C may sound like it's for sissies but even the manliest of men need it in their diets. The last thing you need during an apocalypse is scurvy which is a result of a Vitamin C deficiency. So yeah, like I said, you need an apocalypse garden.
Apocalypse gardens are not necessarily for pleasure, they are to serve a specific purpose; provide food for you and your family in times of need. Because of this, the goal is not to make your garden aesthetically pleasing but to grow as much food as possible in limited spaces. This means you need to grow plants that produce quickly and yield a high amount while being high in nutritional value.
Begin with a PlanYou have a couple of options when it comes to how you construct your apocalypse garden. Square foot gardening probably the only way you'll be on the grid once the apocalypse happens. If you happen to have a little bit of yard space, square foot gardening will return a high yield of produce. It requires you to plant your plants closer together than you would in a regular garden setting. This is advantageous because densely planted gardens form their own sort of mulch which helps to keep the weed and pest population under control.
Container gardening is another option if you don't have space in your yard to devote to an apocalypse garden. Even if you do have some yard space, you may want to consider growing at least a couple of your plants in containers so you are able to bring them indoors in adverse weather conditions.
What to GrowOnce you decide exactly how you want to construct your garden, you need to decide what you want to plant in it. Keeping in mind what grows well in your area, make a list of what you would potentially like to have in your apocalypse garden. Here is a potential list:
- Tomatoes
- Carrots
- Squash
- Pumpkins
- Radishes
- Green beans
- Aloe Vera
- Potatoes
- Rhubarb
- Blueberries- or berries of any kind really.
- Parsley
- Cabbage
How much TLC a particular plant needs should also affect your planting decision. Plants that need a lot of attention in order to produce may not be the best choice when it comes to deciding where you spend your energy. That being said, you should probably keep avocados off of your list. You don't need to go out and purchase huge packages of survival seeds that have been marked up by extravagant amounts. You can purchase seed packages from your local greenhouse for far less and they will work just as well.
What if the apocalypse doesn't happen or disaster never strikes? Can your fruits and veggies or donate them to local food pantries if you can't eat everything that your garden produces each growing season.

So What Kind of Results Can I Get For $1?
For $1 you get your first month of full service, including a round of disputes and initial coaching on ways to increase your scores quickly. After the first month the cost is an $89 monthly membership fee. There is no contract so you can cancel anytime – just stay as long as you need to! To see How We Work, click here.
Credit Repair
The first part of our process is credit repair. We do a series of disputes with the three major credit bureaus to try to get as much derogatory and inaccurate information removed from your report as possible. Every item we get removed helps your scores. Once we narrow down anything you actually owe, we can help you prioritize these items and coach you on how to settle them in the best way to help increase your scores. If you are working with a realtor or loan officer, we would love to work with them as well so we are all on the same page, getting you ready for financing as quickly as possible.
Coaching and Education
The second part of our process is coaching and education. Every 45 days you will receive a review from us by email, outlining what we have been able to get removed so far and what we are still working on. You will also get a set of recommendations which are our coaching suggestions. Every item you complete will increase your scores. This will also educate you on best practices so you can maintain good scores even after you are done with our services. Building a positive credit profile is just as important as getting derogatories removed!
Credit Report
Credit Report. We need access to your credit report every month, but because we are not a bank, we do not have access to your credit. Therefore we ask you to sign up for a credit watch service, which allows you to pull your own report and scores every month, without it hurting your scores. Right now we recommend creditchecktotal.com. They charge $29.95 per month, but we can show you how to get this for half price. Sign up for their 7-day free trial to get started.

England head coach Stuart Lancaster is convinced his plans are still on course despite a second setback in his bid to recruit an additional assistant.
Lancaster announced today former New Zealand assistant coach Wayne Smith had rejected the opportunity to join his backroom staff in the build-up to the 2015 World Cup for family reasons.
Smith's decision to remain in New Zealand comes after Andy Farrell also turned down a permanent position to stay in the domestic game with Saracens.
On a more positive note, World Cup-winner Mike Catt will leave London Irish to take up a short-term coaching position for this summer's tour to South Africa.
Lancaster now intends to put the issue aside and concentrate on the three Tests against the Springboks in June.
He said: "Wayne Smith rang this morning and he is staying in New Zealand.
"We had a great meeting in South Africa and he has had a long, hard think.
"We had a good chat but for family reasons - his parents are close to him and his sons are at university over there - he feels it is best to stay there.
"It is clearly disappointing. There are other coaches out there but in the short term we want to invest our time in working hard to get the South Africa tour party ready.
"That experience he would have brought would have been greatly beneficial but I had a long conversation with him and fully respect his decision.
"He was very complimentary about the way we are going and he drew a lot of comparisons with where they [New Zealand] were in 2004 and made their cultural shift.
"I do think we are on the right track and part of my task is to get that right coaching balance going forward. That will be post-South Africa."
Lancaster has indicated that Catt, having been appointed until June 30, now has an opportunity to press his claims for the post full-time.
South Africa-born Catt boasts strong credentials from his playing days, having made 75 appearances for England and been part of the 2003 World Cup-winning side.
He will leave Irish next week join a coaching staff which also includes Graham Rowntree and specialists Jon Callard and Simon Hardy.
Lancaster said: "I will review the coaching situation at the end of the tour, four months before the autumn internationals.
"It is a great opportunity for Mike. We will see how we go. What I won't be doing now is charging around the world looking for other coaches. I will be concentrating on South Africa.
"Mike played for England for 12 years and has a wealth of experience.
"He has played in South Africa and been with the Lions. It will be really exciting to work with him."
Catt is now preparing for his final Aviva Premiership game with Irish against Gloucester this weekend and admits he will leave with a heavy heart.
The 40-year-old said: "I was very impressed with England during the Six Nations, not just the way they played but the culture that is developing, and hopefully I can complement what Stuart and Graham are doing.
"There are some talented young players coming through and the chance to work with them for the Barbarians game and the tour is really exciting.
"It has been a difficult decision and I will be sad to leave London Irish."
Lancaster, who was confirmed permanently in his position last month after serving in an interim capacity during the last Six Nations Championship, claims there is nothing sinister to read into Smith's decision.
Smith, who was one of the masterminds behind New Zealand's World Cup success last year, is currently working with the Waikato Chiefs.
Steve Tew, the chief executive of New Zealand Rugby Union, described Smith as one of the country's "intellectual properties" but Lancaster does not think he was under external pressure to stay.
Lancaster said: "I don't think there was undue pressure. He is a highly respected coach over there and he has got great experience of how they have been successful.
"Quite rightly people will encourage him to stay but I don't think that was the reason.
"His parents are quite elderly and his sons are at university. I think they had a family discussion and while they might have supported him I think, deep down, they didn't want him to go.
"I think that was the bottom line."

Amy, mom to E since April 2008 and C since October 2011, wife to P since September 2006.
Chasing DS since April 2007 and pumping for DD March 2013.
mom to all boys B: 08/01, C: 07/05 , N: 03/09 , M: 01/12 and far too many lost ones
DH with DS:
This one's called a sleepy wrap, but it's basically the same as a Moby.
It's been great so far. DS sleeps well in it, and it distributes the weight well and it's easy to carry baby in without getting worn out. Great for newborns who like to be swaddled It does take a bit to get used to it since it's a big long piece that you wrap all around yourself, but once you get used to putting it on and getting baby in, it's pretty simple. The fabric is nice and stretchy.
For the newborn stage, my Mama Kangourou wrap was great! It felt nice and snug, so I didn't worry that DS would fall out, and the weight was evenly distributed on my shoulders.
I love the Hotsling for quick hip carries, it's great when he's fussy around the house and my arms are tired:
He's just getting big enough for the Ergo. I love that the weight is on my hips more than on my shoulders, and it's so easy to pop him in and out.
He loves to chew on it too!
We have a Sleepy Wrap too. Dh land baby Z love it.
We have lots of other carriers too. I am loving my ring sling again with a little one but I wear it around the house to get things done when no one is around to take pictures.
DH, Hotsling, 5-6weeks
DH, Hotsling, 3mo, sorta upright cradle carry? DH loves his hotsling. I can't really do pouches. I have a super short torso and big boobs. If I get one that has the babe at the right height, the fabric is stretched too tight across my boobs--no room for babe. If I get one with room for babe, I'd be carrying below my waist.
Zolo solarveil ring sling, cradle carry, 2mo The shoulder isn't spread out very well in that pic. I liked the Zolo for summer. DS is an April baby, so I loved how lightweight and breathable the solarveil was. Once he could hold his head up, he adored the kangaroo carry, facing out and watching the whole world. If he started nodding off, I turned him around tummy-to-tummy.
Ergo, front carry, 5mo I love the closeness of the front carry. I didn't like the Ergo for the newborn stage, even with the insert. I think it's because my boobs made the fit really odd. Once he was old enough to stick his head above the boobs, he really liked the Ergo.
Ergo, back carry, 17mo I switched to a back carry around 12-13 months. My hips thanked me. For short jaunts, I often still do a front carry.
Home made mai tai 2yrs old
Homemade ring sling 6 weeks (bad picture)
Hot mama stretchy wrap about 6 months
Inka storch about 5 months
Double wrapping Gypsy Mama Morgaine wrap infant & 4 year old
Morgaine 3 months old
Baby Bundler 2 months old
We have a Sleepy Wrap too. Dh land baby Z love it.
We have lots of other carriers too. I am loving my ring sling again with a little one but I wear it around the house to get things done when no one is around to take pictures.
Home made mai tai 2yrs old
Great pics !! Thanks for sharing..so cute. The baby bundler looks similiar to the Moby...is it?
mom to all boys B: 08/01, C: 07/05 , N: 03/09 , M: 01/12 and far too many lost ones
Homeschooling mama to 3 Italian babies. Due with #4 on Sept. 28! Planning a rockin' Homebirth.
Kelly,newly single mom of four wonderful children.
Mommy to DD born August 2008
Mom to K(7)M(4)and baby J(2)
here is DH wearing Miss Bella
Here is my 2 week old son in a sling I made.
I love this fabric. DH will even wear him in it.
Dd about a month ago in our dyed Vicky Storch (now sold, )
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...DSC05779-1.jpg It was a wonderful super supportive wrap and I miss it! I was just a little weary of the color.
Dd in Baby Bali Breeze 'Gaia'
a great summer wrap, more comfortable for me than the Vatanai, another thin cool wrap. Like the BBB for more cushy fabric and fun colorways.
Dd at three months in our Girasol 'Earthy Rainbow', on Halloween night. DH carried her in arms 20 min, wore out and handed her to me and I carried her for the next two hours, lol. ER was my gateway wrap, lol. It was gifted to me at my Blessingway before she arrived and is very special to us. Easy to learn with and good for newborn up to 20+lb. Still use it now and then, she is 14mo and 25lb now.

The "Save Kids Lives" campaign was launched during the Third United Nations Global Road Safety Week in May of 2015 and is now calling for Governments worldwide to respond.
The campaign has amassed the support of many world leaders and figures, including Pope Francis, who took the opportunity to contribute to the cause while meeting with the president of FIA Jean Todt, yesterday.
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
"To have him support the cause to save lives on our roads was the biggest push we could get for this campaign and it will help us to save millions of lives in the coming decade."
Road traffic crashes are a leading cause of death for children under 18 years of age. Around 186,300 children lose their lives in road traffic crashes around the world each year.
French director Luc Besson teams up with road safety campaigners from across the world to produce a film about child road safety. The plan is to ensure safety on the roads by providing different types of roads for their designated space; and enhancing roads and vehicle designs.
The next Global High Level Conference on Road Safety will be held in Brazil on November 17, 2016.

7 Things That Productive People Do In The First 10 Minutes At Work
Rich Hua stashed this in Productivity
Stashed in: #lifehacks, #inspiration, Gratitude, Practice, Goals!, Productivity, Awesome, Notebooks!, Rituals, Cognitive Bias, Habits!
Haven't clicked on the article yet but I'm guessing they don't begin with a nap.
I was right. No naps. They write down goals, check their to do list, and affirm.
4. Write down your top three goals for the day
Productive people take the time to write the top three things which would make their day successful if completed. These help keep you focused on the prize when your day might get detracted by busy office life.
5. Review and confirm your to-do list
Once you've got your priorities ironed out, it is crucial that you take the time to make sure that your the tasks you've set for yourself are aligned with your goals and priorities. Having a careful to-do list organizes your day and helps you understand the specific tasks you need to plan around.
6. Write down your daily affirmation
Productive people are upbeat, positive and optimistic. They don't spend time mired in negativity – they spend time taking action. Matthew D. Della Porta, author of The How of Happiness, writes "Simply put, daily affirmations train your brain to think positively; they are uplifting truths you want to believe and heartwarming convictions about yourself or the world as a whole. They are one of the most effective ways to proactively and permanently change the way you think."
Also: Be grateful.
1. Write 3 things you're grateful for.
A study on gratitude done at the University of Miami found that people who kept a daily journal of gratitude were happier, more productive and much happier. Sheryl Towers, professional development coach, says in her book Seeds of Success: "The results of the study indicated that daily gratitude exercises resulted in higher reported levels of alertness, enthusiasm, determination, optimism and energy. Additionally, the gratitude group experienced less depression and stress, was more likely to help others, exercised more regularly and made more progress toward personal goals. According to the findings, people who feel grateful are also more likely to feel loved."
Don't forget to get inspired.
7. Read an inspirational quote.
Super charge your day with some words of wisdom from success Productive People before you. Before jumping into work, productive people seek inspiration from their forefathers and mothers by reading an inspirational quote.

UPDATE 1-Canada's Holt Renfrew to launch lower-priced chain
* Launch to precede Canadian debut of US chain Nordstrom
* Chain to offer "great value" on designer goods
* First hr2 store to open near Montreal next March
* Holt Renfrew to expand its nine existing namesake stores
TORONTO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Holt Renfrew, a Canadian luxury department store operator, said on Monday it would launch a lower-priced chain called hr2 in the spring, months before U.S. luxury retailer Nordstrom Inc plans to open north of the border.
The hr2 concept will offer designer goods at "great value," the closely held company said. "A new hr2 division will buy distinct merchandise for these new stores, and the product will not overlap that found in Holt Renfrew stores," it said in a statement.
Nordstrom is opening its first Canadian store in Calgary, Alberta, in the fall of 2014, and will start rolling out its lower-priced Rack outlets, with which hr2 will compete, around the same time. President Blake Nordstrom told Reuters in September that he sees the potential for more than dozen Rack locations in Canada.
The first hr2 store will open near Montreal in March 2013, and another is planned for Ontario in early 2013, with a "strong national presence" before the end of 2015, the company said.
Despite a sluggish economy, U.S. luxury chains such as Nordstrom have outperformed rivals that cater to middle and lower-income shoppers as affluent shoppers have kept spending. Continued...

Where did you meet Vis ??- Well I used to like what she wrote even before I became a member. I interacted with her for the first time on 9th Jan. (I didn't remember the date, I did some search)
There were two interactions before we became friends.
One sweet, one not so sweet (Though now I find that one sweet too)
First the sweet one-
Well 9th Jan was a time when AKA was at its peak and Vis was feeling depressed because Abhijeet has been kept out of investigation. We started discussing it on the erstwhile chat thread. We discussed our first CID episode and our liking for the duo. At the end of it Vis was feeling less depressed and said" I have been able to change her mood" that was out first interaction
The second one and well not so sweet one is well known to all of you. It led to the Chat thread being renamed. That incident increased my popularity I think for having a fight with Vis.. That incident also laid the foundation of our friendship. So I now remember that incident with happiness.
So these
were two times I met her in IF.
Where did you meet Vis ??
Where did you meet Vis ??- in this forum only...She was one of the first few people to like my posts..The first post of mine which she liked was nothing extraordianry or interesting...But yet she liked it... I was amused to find such a famous memeber of IF hitting like to something as simple as this..posted by a newbie..something that was not related with CID actually
