Ohhh my lanta, just a forewarning this post is about me whining. Go figure. Saturday sucked. First off I spend most of the afternoon at a car show with R. I actually like going to car shows but it was soooo hot. So. HOT. And they didn't have cheesecake on a stick which is half the reason I go! I was upset to say the least!
Also, I'm sure you've noticed the blog has a little different look. My other template was one I found and just added to get the blog up and running but I knew I wanted to create my own. So today I spend the rest of my whole day tackling that task. Let me know how you like it! I'll probably be tweaking it forever, kinda like one of those never-ending projects. Oh and, I have also added a sponsor page. I knew that was another project I needed to tackle and I did that today too using Passionfruit ads. There is an option on there for button swaps so go ahead and use that if you wanna swap buttons and I'll get yours put on my sidebar too! Use the code AIMEE if you plan on swapping so you don't have to pay for your ad. :)
After the car show and blog work, I came home to make R some enchiladas, he wanted homemade food before he left for school. So I then tackled that task. And cleaned the house some. Blaaaah.
Oh and yes, I forgot to tell you. My camera BROKE. Will. Not. Work. I had planned on getting a DSLR around Christmas. The Canon t3i to be exact buuuut now I might just get it this month and make the ol' budget a little tighter cause there are a few events coming up that I would like a camera for. I'm kinda upset about this little situation today. I had an Olympus point and shoot and it'll turn on and zoom in and out and in and out forever and when it finally stops it is a huge blur, the lens won't focus, zoom, or really do anything :( booooo.
Well I'll leave you with some crappy iPhone pictures of cars from today. The hot pink one is my fave.

I've never been to a car show before but I can't imagine enjoying it for more than like...an hour. That hot pink car is awesome though!! I admire you for making your own blog design, I have literally NO idea how to do any of that! So I'm just working with what Blogger gave me. Sorry about your camera, but if its any consolation, I think the iPhone pictures look just great. Loved reading some real, honest opinion on this blog! Thanks for sharing!!ReplyDelete
perfectly priya
I love each and every one of your comments. They make my day & I will reply back to all of you and visit your blog too :) Have a fabulous day♥

text: This female patient was approaching her fortieth birthday and she didn't want her frown lines to give away her age. She had taken very good care of her skin over the years and overall had a healthy even toned complexion, so the lines between her brows seemed even more significant to her. She came to one of our expert injectors looking to remedy her problem. With a few very small injections of Botox and a total of about 10 minutes she was done. There was very minimal discomfort and zero downtime involved. She experienced the full effect of the treatment about 7 days later. She no longer had the troublesome lines, but she was still able to have natural facial expression. Her results gave her the youthfulness she was looking to achieve.

How to Design Your Life With Technology.
Technology has played a crucial life in designing and influencing our lives. The days of hard labor are coming to an end as we usher in the digital world. With technology, we now have the power to design our lives and live them as we see fit. Since we are in the initial stage of technology, we are yet to understand its full potential. We represent the golden age of advancement. If you look at the American dream today, there is a huge difference compared to decades ago. Today, more people are focused on happiness rather than money. You can design your life effectively by using the following tips.
1. Focus your Efforts:
Always ensure that you put all your effort and energy towards accomplishing something that you love. Knowing what you want in life could mean the difference between attaining happiness or not. Most of the choices that we make end up shaping our destiny. Goal achievements means that you will be able to attain the level of happiness that you deserve.
2. Focus on What Benefits You:
More often we find ourselves paying much attention to things that cause us harm than benefit us. We hold on to something that is negative to our development and hinders our growth. If you want to be happy, you will find it beneficial to put all your energy into something that will add value to your life.
3. Make Goals, Not Dreams:
Dreams can only be realized if you turn them into goals and take action. If you are among a group of people who were not lucky enough through traditional workforce, you can always try online work. Technology offers more opportunities for people to work and also learn from online portals.
4. Have Future Plans:
We are encouraged to live in the moment now and then. It is not a bad choice. However, planning for your future should be something that goes through your mind every time. Your plans should entail achieving and reaching your goals. Having a solid retirement plan should also be included. Your family safety and well-being is something that you should also consider for the days when you might not be around. Learn more about the impact that technology can have in designing your life.
If you need to ensure the well-being of your family, you can have a will drafted. Ensure that your family gets the best legal representation. To achieve this, make sure that you get an attorney that uses technology to ensure that their clients are well handled.
You now have an opportunity to design your life with technology. You can use technology with the traditional methods to plan your future. Realize your dreams by designing your life with technology.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) yesterday said it was willing to respond to MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa's demands for reforms he has said were vital for a credible vote this month at an appropriate time.
This comes after Chamisa told journalist on Tuesday that he has given Zec one week for negotiations, blasting the electoral body's chairperson, Priscilla Chigumba, saying she was "arrogant," and that she has failed to run Zec.
Zec chief elections officer, Utoile Silaigwana, told the Daily News yesterday: "With regards to Chamisa's requests, the Commission has indicated that they will respond to them. At the moment I do not have their response."
This comes as Chamisa is piling pressure on Zec, saying the electoral management body must implement a raft of administrative reforms to ensure free, fair and credible elections.
In the main, these are to do with the printing, storage and distribution of ballot papers.
Chamisa has taken up his grievances with the Southern African Development Community (Sadc), hoping they would be attended to before the July 30 polls.
On Tuesday, Chamisa said they will not go into election before their concerns are addressed.
"One of the biggest challenges that we have had with Chigumba unlike (former Zec chairperson Rita) Makarau's time is that Chigumba is very arrogant. She thinks that she is the author of law, the alpha and omega of wisdom. She is not, and she must listen," Chamisa said.
"She must know that she is being paid by the taxpayers' money, myself included. She must do things in a manner that satisfies the minimum demands not to come and be arrogant.
"Arrogance usually walks hand in hand with ignorance. We don't want her to be one of those unfortunate circumstances in the history of Zimbabwe," Chamisa said.
"We are utilising this whole week for that process (negotiations) hoping that there is going to be an understanding particularly on the issue of ballot papers. We know what we are talking about the horse has not yet bolted.
"We will not be stampeded into an election which is not an election we will not be frog-marched into an election. We don't want to go into a fiction, a predetermined movie, it's a betrayal to those that died for one man one vote."
Meanwhile, Zec has started receiving postal ballots from various centres.
"We have received the majority of the postal ballots and are still awaiting the remainder to arrive. At the moment, we are processing them and as soon as they are all in, we will send them to their respective polling stations," Silaigwana said.
This comes as the MDC Alliance raised alarm that postal voting by police officers at Ross Camp in Bulawayo was done under the supervision of police commanders, in the absence of election agents and Zec officials in a bid to rig the upcoming vote for the ruling Zanu PF.
Chigumba said according to the law, there was no role for candidates, political party representatives or observers in postal voting.

A call for papers for the NCCR Robotics' Chili Lab's workshop is now open.
The workshop 'PREC2019: Personal Robots for Exercising and Coaching' will be held in conjunction with HRI2019 – 14th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction conference, in Korea.
Call for papers: December 12th, 2018
Submission deadline: January 10th, 2019
Notification of acceptance: February 10th, 2019
This full-day workshop will offer a forum for researchers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss the potentials and limitations of using social robots as a tool for rehabilitation, to promote physical activity, and coach people to be more active. By taking interdisciplinary views into account, we hope to provide an educational forum for representatives of each discipline to establish a common understanding of design methodologies to match the needs of potential target groups.
We want to discuss how different technologies can be used to influence people's motivation to start and adhere to an exercise regime or to increase their physical activity level. Primarily, we want to discuss the requirements of robots for target groups (e.g., people with ASD or CVD) and concentrate on design methodologies for such user groups. We target an interdisciplinary dialogue between physiotherapists, psychologists, computer scientists, roboticists and clinicians to discuss how personal robots might be useful for promoting physical activity and in rehabilitation with a focus on target user groups.

Good Trouble, a New York-based magazine that "celebrates the culture of resistance", has claimed the top prize at the Stack Awards 2018, winning the honour of Magazine of the Year.
Stack Magazines, the subscription service that runs the awards, described Good Trouble as "vital and powerful". The magazine won out over 14 shortlisted competitors, including Berlin-based street-culture magazine Flaneur and London-based culture magazine Tank.
Reacting to its win, Good Trouble said it was "stunned", "grateful" and "very proud".
Good Trouble publishes "stories from the intersection of arts and culture with politics and protest", its website says. The magazine "looks through the lens of arts and culture at the stories of individuals and groups around the world pushing for equality, liberty, justice and climate sustainability. It celebrates resistance with all its beauty, humour and contradictions, because life is messy and serious business can be fun."
The award was judged by publishing industry veteran Jeremy Leslie, who runs the London-based magCulture shop, and Gail Bichler, the design director of The New York Times Magazine. The Stack Awards celebrate independent magazines, primarily with a focus on English-language titles.
Other magazines recognised at the awards on 19 November included Barcelona-based Perdiz magazine, a "magazine-object about people and the things that make them happy", which won the Readers' Choice award.
Launch of the Year went to London-based horror magazine Suspira, while Cover of the Year was won by New York-based AIGA Eye on Design.
More detail on the winning magazines will be published on Stack's website.

Pregnancy has a plethora of symptoms, some you may experience, while others you may not. One of the more common symptoms is gingivitis. If you have noticed bleeding gums during brushing and flossing, you may have the condition, which if not treated early, could lead to periodontal disease. Hormonal changes can cause an increase of inflammation, making you more susceptible to plaque's bacteria. Periodontitis is an advanced form of gum disease, which carries risks of preterm labor, preeclampsia, or low-birth weight. To protect your oral health, we can help at Robert Eversole, DDS, PC. Dr. Robert Eversole recommends proper oral healthcare before, during, and after your pregnancy, to help prevent periodontitis.
What Can You Do:
The best way to prevent gingivitis is to use a soft-bristled toothbrush twice a day, in a gentle massaging motion, to lessen pressure on your gums that may lead to bleeding. Use a fluoride toothpaste to protect your teeth from decay, and floss at least once a day. Getting an appointment with the dentist is also a great preventive step. Visiting our office allows the dental team to monitor your gums and offer tips to reduce bleeding and swelling. If the bleeding is more than normal, contact us at 812-663-8088 for an appointment.
Reducing sugary and acidic foods can help prevent plaque from building up and sticking to your teeth. Also, ensure you are getting enough vitamin C and calcium, nutrients that play a major role in the healthy teeth and gums.
You can protect your oral health with some simple steps, but if you notice unusual symptoms, please call the dentist in Greensburg, Indiana. We are committed to ensuring you receive optimal dental care, so don't hesitate to reach out and let us know when you have questions or concerns.

Hard economic times have challenged individuals and companies like never before to try fresh, innovative approaches to finding or securing jobs and the future of their businesses. Results of the new International Coach Federation (ICF) Global Consumer Awareness Study imply professional coaching can be that innovative tool to help many companies and individuals recover from the recent global recession.
ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching is a distinct service and differs greatly from therapy, consulting, mentoring or training. Individuals who engage in a coaching relationship can expect to experience fresh perspectives on personal challenges and opportunities, enhanced thinking and decision-making skills, enhanced interpersonal effectiveness, and increased confidence in carrying out their chosen work and life roles.
According to the recent study, professional coaching is being used to help people around the world improve work performance, expand career opportunities and increase self-esteem. In fact, the study found that more than half of participants -- 51% -- are at least aware of the still young and growing coaching profession. Of the 48% of respondents who were unaware of coaching, one-third indicated they would consider participating in a coaching relationship in the future.
Reasons to engage in coaching are many. More than two-fifths (42.6%) of respondents who had experienced coaching chose "optimize individual and/or team performance" as their motivation for being coached. This reason ranked highest followed by "expand professional career opportunities" at 38.8% and "improve business management strategies" at 36.1%. Other more personal motivations like "increase self-esteem/self-confidence" and "manage work/life balance" rated fourth and fifth to round out the top five motivation areas.
In previous research the ICF found that coaching is also generating a very good return on investment -- a median return of seven times the initial investment for businesses -- while being used for some of the same motivations mentioned in the latest study.

DVD Review: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy
If you were to get nearly every British character actor of note into one film, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy contains nearly every name you could think of. Based off the John le Carre novel of the same name, the film follows one of le Carre's greatest characters as he tries to root out a double agent within British Intelligence.
George Smiley (Gary Oldman) is a retired master spy who served for years under Control (John Hurt). When Control winds up dead of a heart attack, Smiley is called upon to root out a double agent. Aided by Guillam (Benedict Cumberbach), Smiley comes down with four suspects from high within British Intelligence: Poorman (David Dencik as Toby Esterhase), Soldier (Roy Bland as played by Ciaran Hands), Bill Haydon (Colin Firth) is Tailor and Tinker is Percy Alleline (Toby Jones). Smiley, operating outside the "Circus," is the one man trusted by those on top to not be the mole. Throw in Tom Hardy and Mark Strong and you have one of best casts of British actors in a major Hollywood film.
It also happens to be an excellent film, to boot.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a more traditional spy thriller as opposed to the generic Bourne wannabes that populate the genre now. This is about the espionage games that spy agencies played with one another during the Cold War and thus moves at a slow, terse pace. Already turned into a six hour mini-series of note, the film condenses the lengthy novel into two hours and as such the novel's length (and a number of subplots) is paired down for length purposes. But Tomas Alfredson doesn't just eliminate big chunks of the film to make it palpable for a cinematic version; he streamlines it.
This is a very smooth film in terms of tone and pacing. Alfredson has managed to even everything out into one consistent film in spite of having a film that's had good chunks of plot cleaved from it in order to fit a two hour running time. You wouldn't know it based off of his version if you hadn't read the novel or seen the mini-series; it's a similar piece to State of Play in that regard. It's been trimmed down from a lengthier piece but it's been done so to the point that it's seamless. There's no sense that anything' missing or that it could be expanded upon without incident.
That is what makes Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy intriguing. This is an older model of the spy film, a much slower paced thriller that doesn't rely on big action pieces to carry it. This is about the day to day machinations of the cloak and dagger business; Alfredson is going back to the days of the spy thriller when it wasn't just an excuse to frame an action film around it.
It doesn't hurt that it has a brilliant performance from Gary Oldman. Rightfully nominated for an Oscar for his efforts, Oldman gives a restrained nuanced performance as Smiley. This is the type of man le Carre had in mind for this phase of Smiley in his career with British Intelligence. He has a career of cloak and dagger operations behind him, only retirement awaiting him. This isn't a man of action; he's a man who knows the next three moves to make and what to get from them. Oldman is hypnotic in how he underplays the role; this isn't a part that requires a big, bravado performance. It's in what he doesn't do and his reactions that we find brilliance.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a brilliant spy piece worthy of a viewing by fans of the genre or those into good film.
Deleted Scenes are included but don't add much back into the film.
There's a First Look piece that doesn't add much in terms of viewing the film.
A Commentary Track with Alfredson and Oldman is included as well.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a brilliant spy piece worthy of a viewing by fans of the genre or those into good film.

Sensitastic Review of Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream (Regular and Light)
It took me a while to write about Dr. Hauschka because I adore this brand so much I wanted to write about the brand as a whole. However, including all of their products would've made for a very long post so I decided I would start with my favorite product: DR. HAUSCHKA's ROSE DAY CREAM.
I'll give a brief intro about the brand as I really love it : Dr. Hauschka and Weleda (which I'll talk more in future posts since it's another favorite and I also own a lot of their products so it's hard to know where to start!

You feel elated to move to a new city or a new house, but before shifting; you need to ensure that all the basic requirements catering to gas, water, etc. are fulfilled. You have to verify that the water coming from the taps have acceptable TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) levels. TDS comprises of inorganic salts like calcium, magnesium, etc. that are dissolved in the water. As per verified reports from the health department, tap water in metro cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, etc. have acceptable TDS levels, but they highly recommend using a water filter/water purifier in order to remove the impurities present in the water.
Consuming water from RO water purifier or UV water purifier keeps you & your family members safe from water-borne diseases. Water filters and RO water purifiers are very popular in Indian homes since more Indian consumers are becoming aware of the USP's of RO Water purifier. RO water purifiers use Reverse Osmosis (RO) purification technology where harmful impurities are removed from the water using a membrane. Many RO water purifiers have multi-stage filtration technique in order to purify the water. RO water purifiers when used along with UV (Ultra-violet), UF (Ultrafiltration), and MF (Microfiltration) remove almost all the impurities like bacteria, virus, potassium, sodium, etc. present in the water. There are plenty of companies that make water purifiers, but you should always opt for a product from a trusted brand since they not only offer good products but also have excellent after-sales service.
As all the family members would be consuming water from the water purifier, you should purchase water purifier from a known brand like LivPure. LivPure has a range of products in the water purification category and you also have the luxury to purchase the right kind of water purifier on the online water purifier website. Some of the best RO water purifiers from LivPure are
- Livpure Knight RO Hot & Cold Water Dispenser
- i-Taste
- Livpure Smart Touch RO Water Purifier
- Livpure Eco Touch RO Water Purifier
- Livpure Envy Neo RO Water Purifier
- Livpure Hero Star RO Water Purifier
They have a range of products catering to a different segment of customers. Customers who want added level of purification can also opt for water purifiers with RO, UV, MF, and taste enhancer so that there are no impurities left in the water. If you are staying in a locality where the TDS levels of water are outside permissible limits, you should opt for RO water purifier with TDS correction. RO water purifier from a brand like LivPure has an inbuilt SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply) which keeps the RO water purifier safe from voltage fluctuations.
Now that you are aware of the importance of water purifiers & focus on branded RO water purifiers, it is important that you purchase the purifier from the best possible sales channel (offline, online). Customers now have the option of buying the best water purifier online since it offers convenience & other intangible benefits. You also have the option of COD (Cash on Delivery) where you pay for the product once it is delivered to you. Unlike other electronic products, Water purifiers require servicing & this is where a brand like LivPure has an upper hand over its competitors. They have a Pan India presence and are known for their after-sales service.
If you own an RO purifier, please leave your experience in the comments section…

Bolognese is my favorite meal to cook when I'm celebrating. It takes a little more effort than most meals I cook, but there's something great about that double satisfaction of having things go right in life and having prepared an incredible meal. Make this on a night when you have plenty of time to let it simmer - it gets better the longer it has to cook. You don't have to stand by the pot the entire time, but will need to check it every 20 minutes or so, so it is great to cook while doing housework or entertaining.
Warning: this recipe calls for quite a lot of alcohol, which is central to the flavor in the dish, but may not be suitable for children or pregnant women unless you have a good 2 or 3 hours to simmer the sauce. After 1 hour of simmering, about a quarter of the alcohol is left, but after 3 hours less than 5% of the alcohol will remain. Alternatively, it is possible to replace the alcohol with tomato sauce, but your end sauce will taste quite different (but still good!) from the original.
This recipe makes enough for two restaurant size servings, but could easily be stretched to feed four with an appetizer or side dish. If you open a bottle of wine to make this recipe, you will have enough left over for two glasses for drinking. It will take at least an hour and a half, but the longer you have to cook, the better.
- 1 small onion, roughly chopped
- 1 large carrot, roughly chopped
- 2 ribs celery, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste, or two cans (16 oz total) tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups of a hearty red wine (choose something you enjoy drinking - my favorite here is cabernet sauvignon)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme, OR 1 bunch fresh thyme, tied in a bundle
- your favorite meat replacement, in the amount equal to about 1 pound of meat (I use one bag of frozen veggie crumbles)
Run the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic through a food processor to form a thick paste. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the vegetables into a fine dice - uniformity is more important than size. Add salt to taste here and throughout the recipe - it should taste good at each step, but remember it is easier to add salt than to take it out.
Using a soup pot or a large skillet with tall sides, cook the vegetable paste (mirepoix) over medium high heat until it loses most of its liquid and begins to brown. It will look something like this:
Add your meat alternative (if you want to use lentils or tvp, and don't want to prepare them ahead of time, you can add them later and cook them with the sauce if you would like) and cook until it is beginning to brown. Add the tomato paste or sauce, and cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
Add the wine and cook until it has reduced by half. Add the water and herbs (at this point add the lentils or tvp if you chose to go that route), bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for as long as you can stand to wait. Add water 1/2 cup at a time as the sauce dries out. Try to keep it a nice sauce consistency - you don't want to add enough water for it to turn into soup. The flavor and textures turn out better if you add water as it's needed instead of all at once.
Warning: wait at least half an hour before you taste the sauce after you add the wine, or it will be all you can taste. I like to give it at least an hour to simmer, but I have left it as long as four hours.
Traditionally, bolognese has milk in it, which gives it a beautiful orange color. If you would like, right before serving take the pot off of heat, stir in 1 cup of your preferred unsweetened milk (I prefer almond milk), and return to low heat until the sauce has reduced back to the right consistency. This last step is completely optional though, and I usually serve without the milk.
This is a thick, heavy sauce, and it needs a thick, heavy noodle to support it. If you can find it, pappardelle is perfect. Fettuccine and thick or regular (not angel hair) spaghetti also work great.
Sounds delish

Stocks saw considerable volatility following the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement on Wednesday before eventually ending the session little changed.
The major averages initially came under pressure after the Fed announcement but showed a notable rebound to end the day on opposite sides of the unchanged line.
While the Nasdaq edged down 8.62 points or 0.1 percent to 8,177.39, the Dow inched up 36.28 points or 0.1 percent to 27,147.08 and the S&P 500 crept up 1.03 points or less than a tenth of a percent to 3,006.73.
The volatility on Wall Street came after the Fed revealed its widely expected decision to cut rates by another 25 basis points, lowering the target range for the federal funds rate to 1-3/4 to 2 percent.
The latest rate cut was once again attributed to the implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures.
The accompanying statement was largely unchanged from July, with the Fed reiterating that the labor market remains strong and that economic activity has been rising at a moderate rate.
The Fed did acknowledge in its latest statement that exports have weakened along with business fixed investment, although the central bank noted household spending has been rising at a strong pace.
The decision to cut rates was widely expected by economists but was not without dissent from members of the Federal Open Market Committee.
The FOMC voted 7 to 3 to lower rates by 25 basis points, with St. Louis Fed President James Bullard preferring a 50 basis point cut and Kansas City Fed President Esther George and Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren preferring to leave rates unchanged.
The Fed's economic projections suggest that the meeting participants are also divided about the outlook for interest rates.
While seven participants expect another rate cut before the end of year, five expect rates to remain unchanged and another five expect rates to be raised back to 2 to 2-1/4 percent.
The central bank reiterated that it will act as appropriate to sustain the economic expansion, with a strong labor market and inflation near its symmetric 2 percent objective.
Today's modest rate cut was not well received by President Donald Trump, who recently urged the Fed to lower interest rates to zero or less
"Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve Fail Again. No 'guts,' no sense, no vision! A terrible communicator!" Trump tweeted shortly after the announcement.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said in his post-meeting press conference that the central bank is prepared for a more "extensive sequence of rate cuts" in the face of an economic downturn but noted that is not currently expected.
Powell also told reporters that he does not foresee the Fed using negative interest rates as a policy tool, as Trump has suggested.
"If we were to find ourselves at some future date again at the effect of a lower bound, again not something we are expecting, then I think we would look at using large scale asset purchases and forward guidance," Powell said.
The Fed announcement largely overshadowed a Commerce Department report showing a substantial rebound in new residential construction in the month of August.
Sector News
Gold stocks showed a significant move to the downside on the day, dragging the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index down by 2 percent.
The sell-off by gold stocks came as the price of the precious metal finished regular trading modestly higher but fell sharply in electronic trading.
Considerable weakness was also visible among natural gas stocks, as reflected by the 1.9 percent slump by the NYSE Arca Natural Gas Index.
Steel, transportation and oil service stocks also ended the day notably lower, while most of the major sectors showed only modest moves.
Other Markets
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region turned in a mixed performance during trading on Wednesday. Japan's Nikkei 225 Index dipped by 0.2 percent, while China's Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.3 percent.
The major European markets also turned mixed on the day. While the U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index edged down by 0.1 percent, the French CAC 40 Index and the German DAX Index both inched up by 0.1 percent.
In the bond market, treasuries pulled back off their best levels after the Fed announcement but remained positive. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, dipped by 2.6 basis points to 1.786 percent.
Looking Ahead
Trading on Thursday may continue to be impacted by reaction to the Fed announcement, although reports on weekly jobless claims, existing home sales and Philadelphia-area manufacturing activity may also attract attention.

You know what's cooler than 4-finger input? 5-finger input.
Multitouch completely changed the input game and ushered in the shift from physical keys to touchscreen devices. A Japanese R&D firm is taking "touch" a notch higher by developing a new device that can detect all five fingers for input for a complete hand recognition.
"Amenbo" is Double Research & Development Co's latest input device, which can sense the movements and pressure of each finger, and can even detect full hand motions. It outplays 3D image sensors such as the Kinect and commercial touch panels we see on touchscreen devices since it uses a special sensor for each finger, giving it the ability to identify which finger is used, whose hand it is, and detect how much pressure is applied.
The developers say that it can be used in a range of applications which require complete hand recognition — with 3D CAD manipulation as an example, which usually requires a 3D mouse and a regular mouse using both hands. This system, however, enables users to operate with one hand.

Last May, Trusteer launched an optional added security measure for customers of ING Direct in the United States (note 1, see previous post). Although, it's not perfect, users of the Rapport service are less vulnerable to viruses and malware running on the their PCs. We gave the new service an OBR Best of the Web award last fall in our Online Banking Report on Security Innovations.
Although, ING Direct is a great reference account, being endorsed by Royal Bank of Scotland, really puts Trusteer on the map. The security solution is offered for download at both Royal Bank's RBS and NatWest sites (see screenshots below). Anyone visiting the banking sites can download the software, you don't have to be an RBS/NatWest customer.
Trusteer also lists Huntington Bank as a customer but there is no mention of Rapport on the bank site yet. Other providers include Authentium's SafeCentral (note 2) and Check Point's ZoneAlarm (note 3).
Bottom line: Security is an issue for many bank customers, now more so than ever. Extra security options deserve consideration to improve customer satisfaction/trust and help reduce fraud losses.
Rapport download page at NatWest (link, 23 March 2009)
Rapport download page at RBS (link, 23 March 2009)
1. Later ING Direct Canada and ING Direct's Sharebuilder added Rapport support.
2. Authentium demo'd SafeCentral at FinovateStartup 2008 (video here). A new version of SafeCentral is in the works.
3. Check Point demo'd ZoneAlarm at Finovate 2008 (video here).

Today's generation of Republican leadership has long since abandoned its party's historic tradition of supporting science and conservation, selling out their values to everyone from Big Tobacco to the Koch brothers. Nowhere is that generational contrast more stark than here in Virginia, where George Allen's fancy designer cowboy boots have replaced John Warner's muddy riding boots.
But Republicans for Environmental Protection is still fighting the good fight, trying to get its party's leadership to back off its attacks on clean air, clean water and public lands:
"Ronald Reagan signed more wilderness bills than any other president, before or since his administration. And what we're trying to say is that conservation is conservative. It is part of the conservative ethic to care for the land and to be good stewards."
Of the 19 bills, two were sponsored by Virginia Republican Congressman Rob Wittman. One promotes restoration of Chesapeake Bay and the other deals with an extension of the Wetlands Conservation Act. [ REP spokesman Jim] DiPeso understands that Congress has been swamped, but says there is no good reason to delay bills that lawmakers actually agree on.
"When we wrote that letter to Speaker Boehner, we were pointing out, 'Look, you have all these conservation bills that have Republican sponsors. Let's go ahead and pass 'em.'"
I wish REP luck, but the truth is its party's leaders have long since turned their backs on anyone who'd dare stand up for America's natural resources. Moderates like Lincoln Chafee, Jim Jeffords and Arlen Specter knew it all too well and left the party, while others like Bob Bennett, Mike Castle and Charlie Crist have been cast out as insufficiently extreme. The GOP misses leaders like Teddy Roosevelt who knew the outdoors were a place to be men – a literal man cave. But today's Republican leaders only like the great outdoors when they're using it as cover for extramarital affairs.

The Bakersfield College baseball team clinched a spot in the Southern California Regional Playoffs with a 7-1 victory over visiting LA Valley on Thursday.BC starting pitcher Lane Cowan turned in a brilliant 8 2/3 inning performance as the Renegades clinched at least a tie for the Western State Conference-South championship.BC holds the tie-breaker with LA Pierce, the other team vying for a share of the league title.The Renegades won the season-series against the Brahmas, three games to two. BC can clinch the WSC-South championship out-right by winning its regular season finale versus West LA on Friday. Cowan gave up one run on four hits and one walk before reliever Adam Brown came in with two outs in the ninth to secure victory, snapping a two-game losing streak by the Renegades.
"I thought Lane was outstanding today," BC coach Tim Painton said. "He has battled pitch-count the entire year. His stuff is plenty good. Today he minimized pitches. Really just filled the strike zone up and gave himself a chance to (pitch a complete game). He talked me into the ninth inning. He was at 98 pitches. He said, 'I'm fine. I want to go out. I want to get the shutout.' I gave him 12 pitches to do it. He didn't get in done in 12 so I made the change."
The one run allowed by the BC was a season-best. The Renegades jumped out to a 1-0 lead on Kyle Willman's first-inning RBI double and then broke the game open with five more runs in third. Luke Lewis struck the biggest blow during BC's third-inning scoring outburst. The sophomore second baseman smacked a two-out, two-run double that extended the Renegades lead to 6-0. BC made it 7-0 in sixth inning as Colby Freeman (1 for 4, 1 RBI), Ashanti Ross (1 for 2, 1 run scored), and Zach Williams (1 for 2, 1 run, 1 RBI, 2 walks) sandwiched singles around a sacrifice bunt by Tim Billingsley.
The Monarchs scored their only run of the game in the ninth after Cowan came extremely close to getting the shutout. Following Thomas Keller's one-out single, Brock Bell hit a grounder to shortstop for a potential game-ending double play. However, a slight bobble by BC shortstop Isaac Ramos, who had just entered the game as a defensive replacement, allowed the Renegades to only get the force out at second base. Two batters later Jake Shore hit a RBI single off Brown, who then got Jonathan Casteneda to ground out to second to end the game. Willman finished 3 for 4 with 2 RBI and a run scored. Lewis was 2 for 5 with 2 RBI and a run scored. They combined for half of the Renegades' hit total of 10. Defensively BC made no errors.
"I think we've really grown defensively from start to finish," Painton said. "From the beginning of the season to now. Offensively, we came up with timely hits today. We didn't put a ton of hits on the board but Willman drove in a couple of runs early. Came through with guys on base. He's done that all year for us. (In addition to that) Luke Lewis continued to swing a hot bat."

"Renaissance Executive Forum has helped me better manage and lead my business. I have taken full advantage of my peers business experience and have tapped into the skills and expertise of the consultants who have instructed the Group on a variety of important business subjects. David Hurwitts keen management insights and our groups open dialogue and creative problem-solving have enabled me to better meet my companys challenges and opportunities."
Kristin Gibson
"The group offers insight and guidance on a broad range of issues and I have the ability to offer advice and guidance as well. The aspect of this board that appeals to me the most is the factor of accountability. As President of my privately held company, I really have no one to answer to if key decisions get put off. In my group, I have members who will hold me accountable for the key decisions I bring to them. This encourages me to take the actions necessary to resolve conflict or create opportunities."
Gary Schloss
"My Renaissance membership is unquestionably the most significant tool I have used to manage the rapid growth of Juliskas business, which has more than tripled in the 2 ½ years since I joined. The members of our forum have become my de-facto business advisers. We have a unique atmosphere of support, candor, and expertise that can only come from like minded entrepreneurs who, despite totally different businesses, understand what it takes to succeed."
David Gooding
"When I joined the Renaissance Group my only hesitation was allocating a half a day a month to something not immediately related to my business, and at the time an unknown. In retrospect the time and financial investment has paid off handsomely. Implementation of the structure and organizational ideas gleaned from the presentations and the round table discussions have resulted in efficiencies and improvements that far exceed the few hours invested in the meetings. My satisfaction level is very high with David and the Renaissance Forum."
Tad Acker
"The discipline and skills I have acquired from my Forum have made me much more effective in running my rapidly growing business. I dont have personal experience with many of the subjects we deal with, so the outside speakers have given me access to experts in fields that were necessary to developing and scaling my business. David has done a fantastic job in putting together a group of impressive, high powered leaders, and keeping the group focused on the success of each business. IT Technology has grown 40% since I joined a year ago, and the Forum is a principle reason for our progress."

Mumbai: Soon Harbour trains to run every two-and-a-half minutes
If all goes as per plan, commuters won't have to wait longer than 2-2.5 minutes to board a train
In the near future, you'll be able to board a Harbour train in less time than it takes to cook instant noodles. Within three years, the much-neglected Harbour line will be transformed into a two-minute railway route, with trains every two to two-and-half minutes, instead of the six-minute frequency at present. During a recent review, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal revived the proposal for a Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling system, which will help bring reduce the time gap between services.
With more frequent services, hopefully, crowds like this will become a thing of the past
A divisional official said the proposal is already on its way to the Railway Board for approval. Once approvals are in place, the project will move ahead. Railway officials said the project could take about three years for implementation on ground. With six minutes between trains, the Harbour line has the worst frequency out of all the railway lines in the city. In comparison, Western Railway trains arrive every three to four minutes, while the Central Railway's main line has a four-minute gap. Goyal discussed the revival of CBTC and the elevated suburban railway corridors during his visit to the city last month. He asked the railways to submit a comprehensive plan, in co-ordination with the Metro authorities, so that transport projects complement each other and there is no duplication of work.
With the CBTC system in place, the train driver's cabin will have signalling indicators based on interactions between the train and track. With this, one can determine the exact position of a train moving ahead, which can help to run back-to-back trains safely and at a higher frequency. The system gives real-time information on the maximum speed the train can run at safely, and allows trains to follow close behind each other, without the risk of collision.
At present, Mumbai's suburban railways use a block signalling system, wherein trains move from block to block, keeping considerable distance between two trains. With cab signalling, the railways will be able to add hundreds of new services. The CBTC project is initially being considered for the Harbour line, as only one kind of train runs on this corridor. On the other hand, on WR and CR's main line, locals share the tracks with long-distance services and goods trains.
3 No. of years in which CBTC system will be up

Laughter and smiles aplenty as Norwich City's key figures savour success
After a lengthy promotion debrief at Colney, David Freezer provides an insight into the mood at Norwich City after a return to the Premier League was sealed.
"The word recipe is banned," said Delia Smith with a beaming smile, as the feelgood factor flowed around Colney amid a very special promotion debrief.
Members of the local and national media were invited to Norwich City's training ground to speak to some of the key figures involved in this season's remarkable Canaries success.
First up was sporting director Stuart Webber, who shook hands and accepted congratulations warmly, before quickly returning to business mode and emphasising that hard work and togetherness has been the key elements to promotion, sticking to the "values" and "culture" which he has spoken of ever since arriving.
MORE: James Maddison sale averted a 'disaster' at Norwich City
As ever there was little sugar-coating from the sporting director who has masterminded City's triumph, dismissing comparisons to repeating the trick he managed at Huddersfield as "lazy" and saying "If you have a team of old men, you don't get promoted".
Things took a light-hearted turn once a bubbly Delia entered the room though, hailing Webber as a "genius" and speaking so proudly of the "amazing" success which Daniel Farke's team have managed.
Fellow majority shareholder, and husband of course, Michael Wynn Jones joked of Webber's huge potential in the game: "I think he's got his eyes on Barcelona!"
Delia also said with a laugh "we're very old aren't we" before adding that she still feels like a 19-year-old at heart, even if the sands of time suggest the Stowmarket couple are in their late seventies.
MORE: Delia and Michael thrilled with Webber's work at City
Next up was the players, sobered up from their weekend promotion parties and still grinning, with Kenny McLean and Teemu Pukki clearly keen to get on with wrapping up the title at Aston Villa.
McLean upped the banter stakes when aiming "I saw him up at Celtic, I didn't expect 28 goals" in Pukki's direction, to which the Finn happily laughed along.
Then it was Ben Godfrey's and Mario Vrancic's turn, with the latter's surprise reveal that a friend back in Germany's mum was from Norwich – and Godfrey jokingly groaning "not again!" as the midfielder was asked to talk about his superb strike against Blackburn on Saturday.

It may have been an epic three-hour media event but there were so many facets of this great story which needed discussing.

Dark Full Ride
Dark Full Ride was performed by members of the OSU Percussion Ensemble at the Capitol Theater in Columbus, Ohio, as part of the Drums Downtown performance on February 18 & 19, 2011.
Project Team
ACCAD Faculty
Prof. Alan Price (Department of Design | ACCAD)
visual concept development and animation
Music Faculty
Susan Powell (School of Music; Percussion)
Joe Krygier (School of Music, Percussion)
Performed by
Kelly Grill (Music, MM Percussion)
Andy Hartman (Music, BM Percussion)
Brian Rhodus (Music, BM Percussion)
Tim Shuster (Music, BM Percussion)
Project Description
Dark Full Ride is a composition for four drum sets by Julia Wolfe. Part one of the composition makes use of only high hats and cymbals. Professor Price created a responsive animation driven by the audio feeds from four microphones, one for each player.
With metal as a theme, paper clips, thumb tacks, staples, scissors, knifes, forks, keys, and finally the cymbals themselves are launched into the air as the drummers strike their instruments, the variations being driven by the amplitude and velocity of the playing, and as the composition progresses over time.

I wanted to preface this with a note.I write these blogs on virtues as a aspiration to my future self. I personally do not always exhibit these traits but I am trying. I write them for myself and use the same virtues as guidelines for decisions I make big and small.
I write them for my child and for his children. My hope is that they will refer to these words when I am no longer around and they are facing trials of their own.
I realize these writings are outside of the scope of what is normally discussed in a gym blog. Truth be told it's terrifying to share these thoughts with the whole world. What if everyone thinks I'm a idiot? What if everyone thinks I write for shit? I can live with that I think. Rather that then these words perish with me, unexpressed and unfulfilled.
Part II- Courage
"Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Courage- noun
1. The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc. without fear; bravery
2. have the courage of ones conviction, to act in accordance with one's beliefs, especially in spite of criticism.
So we covered Strength in our last blog. Strength is pretty straightforward. Courage is a little more elusive.
I believe courage exercises your strength. While all exertions of strength are not courageous, all acts that require courage are exertions of strength or will. It takes no courage to pick up a 45# barbell and do a curl but it does take some strength. The word courage implies some risk. It implies the potential for failure or the presence of danger. Acts without meaningful consequences require little courage.
What does this have to do with working out and our day to day lives? Most of us don't work jobs that can require a ton of courage. Besides our first responders and our military there's just not a ton of risk, physically for most of us. There are other nonphysical ways to demonstrate courage though. Changing jobs or careers can take courage. Asking a stranger or your crush out on a date displays a certain type of courage. It takes courage to end relationships that no longer are beneficial to your growth as a person. Standing for what yo believe in in the face of criticism takes courage also. Outside of these few instances there's just not a lot of opportunity this day in age to show courage.
But inside of the gym we can look for opportunities to test the boundaries of our fears and increase our courage in a controlled, judgment free environment. Your abilities will grow to the extent you are willing to reach outside of your comfort zone. You want to learn how to climb a rope? Good. We can do that. Not quite ready for a handstand? Ok, how about we scale it with a box until you are ready? All these tasks require a certain amount of bravery and courage to attempt. There's nothing wrong with being afraid of it. There's nothing wrong with not being ready for it. What is wrong is to accept a notion of what's possible for yourself.
Will everyone be able to do a handstand pushup? No. That's the reality. But it's not for the reason you would think. Short of physical limitations (i.e. injuries, amputation, etc.) anyone can do it. It might take years. Working for hours on end with scaled and modified versions but it can be done. The real reason people never achieve a goal like a handstand push up is lack of BELIEF that they can do it. (You can change handstand to anything. Pull up, rope climb, box jump. Handstand was used for an example and I realize not everyone wants or cares about that particular movement)
It took a lot of courage to come through the doors of ION and stay. I remember when I first started CrossFit. There was only one CrossFit around at the time and it was in some guys garage. I drove by the place at least 3 times before I had the nerve to walk in and see what was going on. It was intimidating. I was pudgy and weak. There were 4 guys grunting screaming and sweating with their shirts off and I wasn't sure if this was the place for me. It worked out and those guys ended up being really cool but I hope our place is not like that. If someone is intimidated, I want it to be because we require a certain level of commitment to our community and to themselves to be better than yesterday. If they are intimidated because we talk about sacrifice, we drop weights and we don't accept excuses- I'm totally ok with that.
Our program asks you test your limits. To that edge you might not be 100% comfortable with. My job as a coach is to give you a nudge in the right direction towards that edge at your own timing. Everyone's different. We all have different tolerances for failure and risk but there's no place better to take those risks than with people you know and want you to succeed.
Courage is skill. Like a muscle, it can be built and strengthened through repeated practice. If you're reading this and it's not resonating-Congrats! Keep it up! If you feel like you could show a little more courage or are a little scared to commit to working on it, think about this… what is your lack of courage costing you? What dreams and goals are you leaving by the wayside?
"The fear of death is the result of an unfulfilled life"
Franz Kafka

IBM Scholarship Boosts Female Attendance at Hacker Halted Conference
If you have ever attended an IT conference, you probably noticed that there were not many women in attendance. That was not the case at the Hacker Halted security conference held in Atlanta earlier this month.
Just by walking through the halls of the conference site, I noticed a distinct difference in the attendees: Women were everywhere. This may have been due to IBM's sponsorship of the conference fees for all women who wanted to attend. If the registration numbers are any indication, this scholarship had a significant impact: Of the 1,200 people who registered for the conference, 460 were women using the IBM scholarship.
Since women make up only 11 percent of the security industry, seeing this notably higher ratio of women at Hacker Halted gives me hope for what the future might look like if these efforts continue.
IBM Promotes Inclusion at Hacker Halted 2017
Throughout my time at Hacker Halted, my colleagues and I provided insights into IBM's recruiting and cognitive programs. We demonstrated Project Havyn, our virtual assistant powered by Watson. We also evangelized IBM's initiative to hire 2,000 veterans by 2020, touted the Early Professionals program and talked about opportunities for new collar jobs, which emphasize experience and skills over degrees alone.
We had a steady stream of people interested in discussing these topics with us at the booth, but we didn't account for the number of women who would come up to thank us for IBM's generosity in providing the registration fee sponsorships. At a time when many companies fail to promote educational opportunities for their employees at this scale, IBM stepped up to expose women to career possibilities in cybersecurity.
Diversity in technology is essential. Technology not only affects how we work, but every part of our lives — from communication to education, entertainment, travel and even grocery shopping. If mostly men are contributing to the development of new technology, we are missing the perspective of a huge demographic. The female perspective is significant. IBM is doing its job to increase awareness and opportunities for women in cybersecurity, but it will take a shift in the industry to truly impact the statistics.
Opening Doors for Diversity in Security
I have worked in the security industry for 13 of my 20 years in IT, and in my experience, women have always been outnumbered by men. However, I have noticed a trickle, albeit a slow one, of more women entering STEM-related careers.
Although it may take a while, I believe that as awareness increases, more and more women will enter the IT and cybersecurity industries. We are making great strides toward attracting women to pursue security careers. Companies across the industry and educators throughout the world must continue to step up, open doors for a more inclusive workforce and drive awareness about security careers among people of all backgrounds. I look forward to the day when women play an even bigger role in this industry.

A Re-Evaluation of the San Juan Basket Maker Culture and Possible Relationships to Non-Ceramic Group
Publication Date
Summer 6-5-1954
In summary, the purpose of this study may be stated as follows: by utilizing intensive and comparative archaeological data and also reasonable inference derived from ethnologic data, it is hoped that there can be presented a more precise and refined picture of the various groups of people whose material-culture remains are considered representative of the Basket Maker culture. It is the further intention of this study to examine critically the postulated development of such groups into later "culture horizons" classified as early Pueblo.
