New Kind of Volunteers?
Are you a volunteer?
Have you ever done some volunteer work?
In your opinion – who the volunteer is?
Lets start from definition of volunteering:
Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or improve human quality of life, but people also volunteer for their own skill development, to meet others, to make contacts for possible employment, to have fun, and a variety of other reasons that could be considered self-serving.
Have you ever considered yourself as social media volunteer? Maybe you should.
Stop for a sec. and think:
- Have you ever helped someone via social media
- maybe you helped someone how to cope with all those social media applications
- etc.
I think that social media environment and all of those activities on social media platforms made us more aware that there are people who might need some support and help. We are more proactive, not focus only on ourselves – and that's something new.
And even more fascinating is that people who are helping each other, they don't consider themselves as volunteers. They would say that helping is something normal/standard…and that's a good sign I guess.
And those people are new heroes!
How Can I Change My Life? Interesting Book to Read – Part 2
I think it's time to get back to Seth Godin's book – Linchpin. The part 1 of that review I published in my earlier post.
Any project, if broken down into sufficiently small, predictable parts, can be accomplished for awfully close to free.
wow! isn't that nice? Lets stop for a moment and think about that. Lets say I want to learn how to speak Swedish, I know that it's not possible to learn that language within one day, nor one week nor month. But if I decide to create a plan, some kind of agenda how I want to accomplish that – it looks more real. If I decide to study Swedish 30 minutes every day – there is a BIG chance that after 1 year I will be able to communicate in that language.
What I need is 2 things:
- plan/agenda
- consistency
Seth Godin gave a great example of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Wikipedia. A lot of money was spend on Britannica and Wikipedia was built for free and still is – millions of people are building Wikipedia every day.
You don't become indispensable merely because you are different. But the only way to be indispensable is to be different. That's because if you're the same, so are plenty of other people.
The only way to get what you're worth is to stand out, to exert emotional labor, to be seen as indispensable, and to produce interactions that organizations and people care deeply about.
- what can I offer others (organization, people)?
- what do I have or what can I create?
- am I the answer to organization's needs?
So what is stopping us from becoming linchpins? Are not good enough? or maybe we are not smart enough (like all those very smart and famous people)? or what? how many more excuses are we able to create? Seth is asking a simple question (and I think those are the worst kind of questions):
You can't – or you don't want to?
I can and I want to become linchpin. Am I scared? of course I am but I want to create something, I want to be part of something important (important to me, to organization, etc.). I think that every time I feel that big black monster "fear" I need to remember that I am changing my life and that's a big deal for me and that fear won't win.
I love The New American Dream which Seth explained in his book:
- Be remarkable
- Be generous
- Create art
- Make judgment calls
- Connect people and ideas
Have you ever wonder how to do that? I think it's not that hard to be generous or connect people and ideas. Lets remember about those small steps, that might help.
If you can be human at work (not a machine), you'll discover a passion for work you didn't know you had. When work becomes personal, your customers and coworkers are more connected and happier. And that creates even more value.
When you're not a cog in a machine, an easily replaceable commodity, you'll get paid what you're worth. Which is more.
Exactly, where is your passion? ohh I know, what you can say "I have car loan, credit cards to pay. I don't have time for passion." But what if we won't try, what if we stay as those cogs in a machine, what then? We will go through our lives without even knowing that we can do something more. Something which can make us proud.
From my own experience I can say that passion to what we do is fantastic. That passion made me feel way much better, and made my work better. My coworkers and I built a great workplace/team. And I am not sure if we would be able to built that without passion and engagement.
The question is: Do you want to become a linchpin or not? Do you want to try to change your life? You have only one chance to do something with your life…because you have only 1 life.
How to Create Buzz Keywords Cloud?
When you are looking for a job have you ever wonder how Human Resource department is looking at your resume?
Have you ever thought what keywords are you using in your resume?
or maybe you want to know what kind of 'word cloud' you can create based on your text?
it's good time to look at your resume the same way recruiters and Human Resource department is looking. Use web-based, free application – wordle.
At the wordle site I found that it's:
wordle is a toy for generating "word clouds" from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
Be careful with share the cloud online directly from wordle site – it's better to be make sure where exactly you publish your 'word cloud'.
How it looks like? Here it's my example:
you can chose different colors: or shape:
this simple application can help you to modify your content if you wonder what kind of keywords are the best, and many of them you used in your text.
enjoy testing wordle.
update: after few weeks I did a little bit of search again and found few more tagcloud (web-based) application:
- word it out –> "An attractive arrangement of randomly positioned words, where the most important words are bigger than the others."
- VocabGrabber –> analyzes any text you're interested in, generating lists of the most useful vocabulary words and showing you how those words are used in context.
- Tagxedo –> turns words (e.g. speeches, articles, etc. into a visually word cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence within the body of text
- TagCrowd –> simple application but allows you to eliminate some words from the tagcloud, set the limit of words, etc.
- ImageChef –> not only tagcloud (word mosaic) but also few other option you find useful (photo editor – frames, etc.)
How to find a job using social media apps?
All of you how are looking for a job probably already signed up to jobing, jobankusa, monster or dozen other job-search-sites but do you really think that this is enough? How many of you didn't find anything for last few months? Although you updated your profile all the time.
What to do???
Maybe you should think about adding other options/other places where you can 'follow' job offers or just use other tools to be more visible for potential employer:
- tweetmyjobs — you can set your profile (for free), chose job channels to get instant notification of jobs (email + tweets). Big plus – you can get that job notification much faster than looking for those jobs on other job-search-sites
- 'follow' companies on Twitter — if there are companies you want to work for, try to find them on Twitter and 'follow' them. Companies (often) post job offer on Twitter, so you are able to get the information asap
- wopodo– reinvent your job search. Good tips how to write your resume, job offers
- advanced Twitter search — you can search for companies/job offers/ etc. which can give you more information what's going on (don't forget to use @ and # while searching, e.g.: #jobs, #hiring)
- Linkedin profile — you should concider to set a professional profile which can help you to connect to business world (other professionals, recruiters, companies). It will help you to check the job offers, connect to other professionals which can help you to find a job. Don't forget to 'complete in 100%' your profile which means: uploading your photo, ask for min. 3 recommendations. Join groups and try to be active (ask questions, answer to some questions, keep communication with others).
hint: you can use Google search box to look for job offers posted on Linkedin – in a google search box type "linkedin.com: jobs+location" and you can search directly from google - wordle – tool for generating 'word clouds' from text that you provide. The clouds give greater view to words that appear more frequently in the source text. It good to test your resume and check what 'word cloud' will generate out of your resume
- professional email — remember to have professional-looking email address
- maybe you take under consideration to start your own blog – you are an expert in something, so maybe you would like to share that knowledge with others and at the same time you are building your own reputation as an expert. At the same time it will be even easier to find you on-line
- 'Google yourself' — check what you and others can find on-line about you. If there is something you don't like, you better try to change it
When it's time for work and when for fun
I read very intersting (like always) post by Seth Godin "Are you making something?"
Seth suggested that because we are so often 'distracted' by so many things – we are instead of working (creating something) we are doing something like playing games etc.
He suggested that it helps if we have separate device strictly for work and another one for other activities:
The two-device solution
Simple but bold: Only use your computer for work. Real work. The work of making something.
That's good idea, but sometimes, I think it would be hard to do that – separate those two worlds (work and fun). And on top of that – two devices? well, I think that many of us already working using two or more devices (mobile, tablet, computer). It would be hard just to adjust to one task-kind on one device. We are using all those devices for multi-purpose.
…what about creating a schedule – what and when we will do/work on? What about all those apps we can use – which can help us to keep focus on one thing at the time (check this post for more). Then we can use one device and still do some productive WORK
Seth Godin andhis blog
should we motivate others?
Daniel Pink talks about human motivation. How we are running our businesses.
So we thought that if we want people to work better we reward them by giving more money/bonuses/etc. – does it work? Daniel Pink think that NOT really, he said that all those motivators are actually blocking creativity.
'There's a mismatch between what science knows and what business does'
…about human motivation. Daniel thinks that 'carrot and stick' motivation worked in XX century but not any longer in XXI century.
check what is the 'candle problem'.
What is interesting is:
'As long as the task involved only mechanical skill, bonuses worked as they would be expected: the higher they pay, the better the performance. But once the task called for a longer reward <led to poorer performance. (…) in eight of the nine tasks we examined across the thress experiments, higher incentives led to worse performance.'
/D. Ariely, U. Gneezy, G. Lowenstein, N. Mazar, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Working Paper No. 05-11, July 2005; NY Times, 20 Nov. 08/
The new approach is that people will do something because they LIKE it – not because they are getting bigger reward.
Lets check how it works e.g. Google is decided their engeeniers time between 80% – regular tasks and 20% – time during which all of them are working on their own projects (whatever they want).
it's all about:
…and another version of that topic (also by D. Pink)
work, work harder…
I read:
'the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work'
check the video of Ira Glass talking about doing a lot of work before we really achieve something:

Good start but poor finale

What can I say about Joe Wright's Hanna. Well what an amazing film, exuberating, well crafted and pulsing with energy. It's a gripping chase movie all the way through - the Music by the Chemical Brothers is brilliant- with Hanna's theme, The Devil is in the Details, Container Park and Escape Wavefold, just to name a few. The atmosphere is brilliant something like eXistenZ, with unusual sometimes freaky scenery: from the snows of the artic circle to Morocco, Container Parks and of course the abandoned Children's Theme Park in Germany. The German accents are well done by those who aren't even German by birth. The whistling song is so addictive, I've been whistling it for days. The acting by Saoirse Ronan , Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett are all very good. I want to see this film again and get the Chemical Brothers Soundtrack.
Joe Wright's "Hanna" is an exuberantly crafted chase thriller that pulses with energy from its adrenaline-pumping first minutes to its muted bang of a finish. Not as richly imagined as one would hope in the final estimation, but entirely gripping while it lasts, this futuristic fairy tale announces Wright as an outstanding director of action, and Saoirse Ronan, in the title role of a teenage assassin, again proves a consummate muse. At times suggesting the genesis of an arthouse "Bourne"-style franchise, Focus release will require critical support to hit that elusive sweet spot where pulpy and rarefied tastes occasionally converge.fantastic film

Tools to study molecular mechanisms of Aspergillus pathogenicity

Sven Krappmann
AbstractThe unique nature of Aspergillus fungi represents a challenge for scrutinizing the attributes that render these saprophytic microorganisms pathogenic or allergenic under certain environmental circumstances. Recent publication of the genomic sequence from an isolate of the major pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus denotes enormous progress in aiming at cellular features and gene products that contribute to its pathogenicity. Latest developments to study virulence-related characteristics comprise profiling techniques, conditional gene inactivation and precise manipulation of the genome by means of gene targeting. Advances in assessing the virulence potential of particular mutant strains in alternative test systems complement these approaches.

Trends in Microbiology, Volume 9, Issue 8, 1 August 2001, Pages 382-389
Jean-Paul Latgé
AbstractAspergillus fumigatus is the most prevalent airborne fungal pathogen in developed countries, and in immunocompromised patients causes a usually fatal invasive aspergillosis (IA). Understanding the pathobiology of this fungal species requires not only analysis of the putative fungal virulence factors that stimulate fungal growth and/or survival in the lung environment, but also knowledge of the immune factors containing A. fumigatus in the immunocompetent host that can be debilitated by immunosuppressive therapies, triggering IA. Although the incidence of IA has dramatically increased in recent years, progress in these areas has been limited and, as yet, a single, true virulence factor has not been identified and the mechanisms responsible for protective immunity against A. fumigatus have yet to be elucidated.

Sexual reproduction in Aspergillus species of medical or economical importance: why so fastidious?
Trends in Microbiology, Volume 17, Issue 11, 1 November 2009, Pages 481-487
Kyung J. Kwon-Chung and Janyce A. Sugui
AbstractHeterothallism is dependent upon the obligatory cross-mating between self-sterile homokaryotic individuals and represents a common pattern of sexuality in yeasts and molds. Heterothallic reproductive cycles have recently been discovered in three Aspergillus species of medical and economic importance, namely Aspergillus fumigatus,A. parasiticus and A. flavus. Together with Aspergillus udagawae (Neosartorya udagawae), heterothallism has now been discovered in a total of four aspergilli that affect human health or economy. These fungi appear to express relatively low levels of fertility compared to other heterothallic or homothallic aspergilli and require unusually fastidious environmental parameters to complete the sexual cycle. Because the purpose of sex is to reproduce, we favor the hypothesis that while fertility of these species is on the decline this is compensated by their proficiency to reproduce asexually in a wider range of environmental conditions. Heterothallism in these species could provide an invaluable tool for the recombinational analysis of factors relevant to pathogenicity or toxin production. There is concern, however, whether extensive recombinational analysis can be very practical in light of the fact that formation of ascospores in these species requires a long period of time and the construction of genetically marked strains is likely to decrease fertility even further.

The function and evolution of the Aspergillus genome
John G. Gibbons and Antonis Rokas
Department of Biological Sciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37235, USA
Species in the filamentous fungal genus Aspergillus display a wide diversity of lifestyles and are of great importance to humans. The decoding of genome sequences from a dozen species that vary widely in their degree of evolutionary affinity has galvanized studies of the function and evolution of the Aspergillus genome in clinical, industrial, and agricultural environments. Here, we synthesize recent key findings that shed light on the architecture of the Aspergillus genome, on the molecular foundations of the genus' astounding dexterity and diversity in secondary metabolism, and on the genetic underpinnings of virulence in Aspergillus fumigatus, one of the most lethal fungal pathogens. Many of these insights dramatically expand our knowledge of fungal and microbial eukaryote genome evolution and function and argue that Aspergillus constitutes a superb model clade for the study of functional and comparative genomics.

I just turned 36, One side of my lower face sags much worse than the other one. One side of my face is thinner. I recently got 1 siringe of Radiesse to fill my cheeks and 1 s. of juvederm to fill the sides of the nose. However the filling of the cheeks did not help at all lifting the lower face. Im worried adding more radiesse would make me look overly done. What are my options, is my chin possibly too small? do I need fillers, or a face lift. I want to do something before it gets way worse.
Do I Need a Lower Facelift at 36, More Fillers, or Chin Implant? (photo)
Doctor Answers (16)
Facelift at 36 would improve the lower face. However, the top fat component you have is buccal fat pad fat, and a portion of this can be removed as well.
Thanks for your photos. At your young age, the early jowling can be exacerbated by too much filler injected into the cheeks. Beware of adding inappropriately placed volume to the cheeks where it can make your cheeks heavier and eventually settle into the jowls with gravity. Unfortunately, there are many injectors who don't understand this relationship, and many more are likely to add to this problem.
Aesthetically speaking, from the photos provided, the cheeks are flat and the chin is weak. Chin Augmentation with a Chin Implant would augment the chin and balance the lower face. I prefer using Perlane to augment the cheeks, which could be more full anteriorly but no fillers of Cheek Implants will lift sagging tissue from the jowls. Only a Face Lift will do that.

Lower facelift and chin implant for facial sagging skin would be best for your receded chin and sagging skin. I do not think a cheek lift is indicated for what you have which is well below the cheek.
It is important to understand that all humans have asymmetry in their face and if your goal is to have a perfect match between the two sides, you will always be frustrateed because it cannot be done. See 2-3 surgeons for consultation and examination and get a feel for what can be realistically be accomplished. The small differences visible in the picture are well within the normal range of asymmetry.
At 36 yo most patients are probably going to hold off on surgery and continue with facial fillers. Eventually, you most likely will most likely desire surgical intervention but, be patient. Fat grafting to the face with facial liposuction to contour areas may provide you with the greatest benefit at this young age. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
You may want to consider taking a break from the fillers. As an alternative, I'd suggest consulting with a plastic surgeon to see if you're a good candidate for non-surgical Ultherapy. That's because your situation calls for a focus on the lifting and tightening of lax skin. Still, fillers may present a contraindication to Ultherapy that calls for waiting until the Radiesse and Juvederm have been eliminated by your body. Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted ultrasound energy to stimulate natural-looking lifting, tightening and toning. The younger a patient is, the better he or she will respond to the ultrasound therapy. Meanwhile, this treatment is designed specifically to address the drooping cheeks, emerging jowls, and sagging chin that concern you.
It is unusual that a patient at age 36 can benefit from a face lift.
Fillling of the cheeks with the so called vector lift can improve the geometry of the face but would require abnormal amounts of filler to produce the tightening that most patients request.
Reliable options are liposuction of the jowls to smooth the jawline and give some skin tightening as well as the use of the Cellulaze Sidelaze for tightening of the lower face and neck.
Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certitifed Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
Thanks so much for the photos. I'm sorry you didn't have more success with the Radiesse. Unfortunately fillers don't pull or tighten anything they just fill. Some patients whose main concern is the sagging along the jawline with early jowl formation could try having the depression in front of the sag filled to camouflage it - but proceed with caution if you decide to go this route since adding more volume to the jowl area can make the problem look worse and add unnecessary bulk to the jawline. I personally would not recommend this for you based on your photos.
The obvious question you raised is should you ideally have a facelift to tighten your jawline. The answer would be a definite yes if you were 50 but a cautious maybe at your age of 36. It would be the most effective option for improving the lower face sagging you describe, but with the highest risk and longest recovery time. A chin implant might improve your result - although more photos including a profile view would be helpful.
Don't rush into it and educate yourself as you are doing here. The video below explains the short incision approach to lower facelift - certainly not minimally invasive - but less invasive than a longer incision facelift that is used for patients who have significant neck sagging.
Web reference: http://www.8west.ca/facelift/short-incision/
The best advice is to have an in-person consultation with a specialist in the face. There are a couple of different things going on which is contributing to your facial sagging. You want to restore balance to your face to have an overall rejuvenated appearance. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can guide you towards achieving the results you seek.

These are the perfect women's glasses, both for wearing around casually as well as taking them into the outdoors. I beat mine up and they are still in amazing condition. Every person who buys them seems to look great, regardless of face size.
New Favorite!

These glasses are awesome. They are really cute ,light weight and really durable. I really like the spring closure of the arms, I wear my glasses on my head a lot and with these they don't get stretched out so they still fit my face well. They have a nice sporty yet very cute look so you could really wear them for any and everything
Glass lenses!!!!

The frame is hip, on the verge of the '70s school-teacher horn-rimmed glasses look, but toned down a bit. I've got a small face and they fit well without looking too big, but the greatest part about these sunglasses is that the lenses are GLASS. Not plastic. I am really hard on my gear, and these babies don't have a single scratch, which is so awesome. Plus, polarized lenses are a must if you are around snow or water a bunch.

We gardeners spend a good bit of time thinking about light. Is our yard too sunny for a plant we want to try, or is it too shady? How much light qualifies as "full sun"? What's the difference between part sun and part shade? How about morning sun versus afternoon sun? Some of us have all-day sun and desperately want some shade; others long for just a bit more light so they can grow a wider range of plants.
Obviously, the practical aspects of light have a big impact on our plant choices, and on our success in the garden. But there's also an aesthetic aspect to light: the way it dramatically changes the look of the garden through the day and through the seasons. Continue Reading →

Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music, faint as a will of the wisp, crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Oh skylark, I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there?
Skylark, I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there?

I always found that what worked in Google worked in Yahoo - but not the other way round. In other words, certain crap links (that Google filters out or down) Yahoo doesn't.
Yahoo is far easier to rank in, at least it was when I paid attention to it. I don't work on very big sites so given its market share (I'm in the UK) it's not been worth bothering with as far as I'm concerned.

Admission into the PhD program in Management is highly selective, with a limited number of offers extended each year. Primary factors considered in the evaluation process include the applicant's overall undergraduate and (if applicable) graduate grade point averages, GMAT or GRE scores, compatible research interests with faculty, career interests and goals as stated in the essay, excellent letters of evaluation, and the applicant's appropriateness for graduate study and the ability to handle advanced-level research.
The application deadline is December 6 for the following Fall semester. Late applications will be reviewed only on a space available basis. The evaluation process generally takes eight to ten weeks. You can now UPLOAD all supporting documents to your application. If you use the upload feature, you WILL NOT need to mail your documents at this time. If you are admitted, you will be asked for official documents. For more information, please review the Graduate Admissions website.
Background Requirements Applicants should have a strong background in college-level mathematics, particularly knowledge of linear algebra, calculus, and statistics. Applicants to the PhD program must take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test. Additionally all international applicants must take and submit the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A TOEFL score of at least 100 on the iBT or 600 on the paper and pencil version is required.
The Admission Process The admission process to the PhD program has two stages. First, an applicant must pass a screening by faculty in the appropriate academic area and a member of that area must accept responsibility as the sponsor of the applicant. Second, all members of the PhD Committee review the application, decide whether to admit the candidate, and make recommendations for financial assistance.
Essay Questions Applicants must complete two essays on the following topics: 1. Describe your academic interests, proposed course work, research interests and projects, and career objectives. 2. Discuss any unique aspects of your candidacy and provide the PhD Admission Committee with any information pertinent to your application that you did not cover in the rest of the application.
Three Letters of Recommendation Letters of recommendation should come from individuals capable of commenting on your academic and research abilities and potential. Each recommender whose email you include in your application will be sent instructions on how to fill out a recommendation for you. Paper recommendations will also be accepted provided the letters are sealed in envelopes and signed across the seals by the recommenders before we receive them.
Transcripts An unofficial transcript from the Registrar of each college you attended must be submitted to the Georgia Tech Graduate Admissions office. These transcripts can be uploaded online or mailed to the Graduate Admissions at the address provided during the application process. International applicants, in addition to submitting transcripts in their native language, must also provide: • A copy of the English translation of the transcript, and • Native language and English translation copies of documents verifying proof of their degree.
Resume Please include a copy of your most recent resume with your application package.
Test Scores All applicants to the PhD program must take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Records Examination (GRE) and request that the scores be sent directly to Georgia Tech using institution code HWK-54-07 for the GMAT and 5248 for the GRE. GMAT or GRE scores older than five years will not be accepted. More information about the GMAT or GRE can be found at www.mba.com.
Additional Resources To learn what a PhD research career entails, please visit the PhD Project Association website. While the PhD Project Association was designed to increase the number of under-represented minorities in PhD programs, their site also provides helpful information about life as a PhD student. Another website to investigate is www.mba.com. Not only is this the site you will use to register for the GMAT (which is required by Georgia Tech), but you will also discover that much of the information about the MBA application process is applicable to the PhD application process as well.

jomaxx, you said you put affiliate redirects under a single subdirectory and then block that subdirectory in the robots.txt file. Q.1. In the robots.txt file, how would you set it to block the directory? The exact code. Q.2. Also, if using a .htaccess file with the redirect, do i need to use the robots.txt file also? Q.3. you said subdirectory. I'm not to certain on how to create this. I just use 1 directory for one site i have. ->Do i just create a separate directory and name it redirects? -->Or is this subdirectory created in the area where the site resides (all files of the specific site.) and it is a named /redirects and i place the single file named .htaccess there and no other? Q.4. Isn't the .htaccess file hidden from robots and if so, why use a robots.txt file also? Thanks fellas:) frenzy77
Thanks guys:)
Good to know:)
Also great information.
I appreciate your continued responses:)

Demba Bar: 'We Are Not Cheats'!
Demba Ba says the 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford was done through hard work ... and the Newcastle players are not "cheats".
Demba Ba: "It was a great result before the Chelsea game – it gives us confidence.
"This is a game we're looking forward to – we know we can win.
"We'll work like we did against Man United. We'll try to win the game.
"If we keep on playing like we have been playing all season, we'll be a good team until the end.
"When I was in Hoffenheim, we had a good team – we chased everything.
"We worked so hard for each other and ran around the pitch.
"We did our best to win every game, and we have the same attitude at Newcastle.
"We are fourth in the league because we deserve to be there – we haven't stolen anything from anybody, and we haven't cheated anybody.
"We have just worked hard, and got what we deserved.
"I don't have a goal target this season.
"My target is only to stay healthy and have fun playing for this team.
"I'm enjoying my football, and looking forward to every game."

Re: Urine Test
Good point, I don't want my tax money going to people who are just going to spend it on drugs, tobacco and booze instead of school supplies, clothing and healthy food for their numerous offspring. Don't make sense that we pay taxes to support public programs trying to snuff out "substance abuse" but the rest of it goes to supporting these people's habits. Everyone of us is unwittingly and unwillingly supporting grug dealers and users.
Cangratulations, you just made me really mad, this hadn't really occured to me before. |
Re: Urine Test
Wow! That is a good idea!
Got me thinking...I steadily devote my time to further my college education. The more hours/degrees I earn, the higher I will be paid in my next career. Lot of work, but I say it is fair. What if welfare checks were based on the last level of public education completed? A 6th grade drop out would get half as much as a person with a diploma. Who is most likely to eventually get a decent job and pay taxes? One who was disciplined enough to at least finish school, of course. Just my .02 |

Why should some dope dependent individual be required to take a urine test. He_ _ we know they are dopers. Just my opinion. catfish

The transcription factor MEF/ELF4 regulates the quiescence of primitive hematopoietic cells

The transcriptional circuitry that regulates the quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells is largely unknown. We report that the transcription factor known as MEF (or ELF4), which is targeted by the t(X;21)(q26;q22) in acute myelogenous leukemia, regulates the proliferation of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells at steady state, controlling their quiescence. Mef null HSCs display increased residence in G0 with reduced 5-bromodeoxyuridine incorporation in vivo and impaired cytokine-driven proliferation in vitro. Due to their increased HSC quiescence, Mef null mice are relatively resistant to the myelosuppressive effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Thus, MEF plays an important role in the decision of stem/primitive progenitor cells to divide or remain quiescent by regulating their entry to the cell cycle.

Birders often have to look for structural differences among birds to clinch the identification when plumages give little evidence. I was reminded of this earlier this week when I found some scaup on the lake at Colonel Francis Beatty Park, located just outside Interstate 485 in Matthews.
Scaup are diving ducks that winter in our area. There are two species: the lesser scaup and greater scaup. Both species are extremely similar in plumage. Subtle differences can be seen in males in plumage, bill size and head color when in bright sunlight. Such a setting can aid a birder in making the right call, but there is a range of variability.
The fact that the two birds I saw were females in almost identical plumage narrowed down the field marks that I could use to tell which species I was dealing with. The most reliable way to tell the scaups apart is head shape.
Lesser scaup have a more vertically elongated head that often gives a peaked appearance. Greater scaup have a more rounded head. These differences can be readily seen in typical individuals. And when the two species are seen together, identification can be fairly easy.
One female was clearly a lesser scaup, the most common species encountered in Mecklenburg County. The other bird had a more rounded head, though, and after a while I was pretty sure I was looking at a greater scaup. There are lots of local records for greater scaup, too, but they are very uncommon at best. I can go a few years without seeing one here.
But head shape can vary too. Depending on the demeanor of the bird (relaxed vs. alert, for example) or if the head is wet with feathers slicked back (it was), the identification can be easy or challenging.
I wanted to add greater scaup to my County Year List but recognized this wish may have biased my call. I asked some other local birders to check out these birds. Fortunately, each felt the same way I did. (The greater scaup is the bottom photo.)

Judge Sentences Alabama Man To 624 Years In Prison
Reporter: Associated Press
Wednesday, August 15, 2012
A southeast Alabama judge has sentenced a man to a 624-year prison term in a rape and kidnapping case.
The Dothan Eagle reports that Houston County Circuit Court Judge Kevin Moulton sentenced 25-year-old Mark Anthony Beecham to the prison term Tuesday.
Beecham received 99-year prison sentences for six felony convictions: first-degree kidnapping, two counts of first-degree rape and three counts of first-degree sodomy. He also received a 20-year sentence for a felony first-degree theft of property offense and a 10-year sentence for a felony first-degree bail jumping conviction.
A Houston County jury found Beecham guilty of all eight felony charges earlier this month.
The charges stemmed from offenses involving a woman that happened in December 2006.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
5 Stars
Dramatic Roses Save the Date Magnets I'm getting married in February 2012 and I thought the heart-shaped, save the date magnet would be perfect for my Valentine's Day theme. The photo I picked was originally in full color, but when I saw the proof, it looked much too busy with the red, black and white colors in the background. The customer service department was happy to change the picture to a black and white photo for me at no charge. It came out great! The silver-lined, foil envelope is a classy touch that really makes the magnet pop. I was very happy with the way they came out and can't wait for everyone to receive them in the mail.
Roses of Plenty Save the Date Magnets I simply love my save the date magnets. They came out so beautiful and ordering from this company made my planning extremely easy and I would most definitely refer to everyone I know.
Wonderful card!!!
For Your Eyes Only Save the Date Magnets This save the date is absolutely amazing!!! We love how we could customize it ourselves!!!
Save the date magnets, fantastic!
Hands on Flowers Save the Date Magnets Received them and they look exactly like they did on the computer, quality is excellent too.

HowTo: Configure Local Holiday Calendar on your Lumia (Video)
Something that has been bugging myself, as well as many of you, seems to be the fact that Windows Phone automatically displays US Holidays with no obvious way to change it. Well I have found a way, and will split it up into the PC component and the Phone component.
Note: This will require a Microsoft Account and a Google Account. Only tested on a WP8 device.
First up. log into your Microsoft Account and get to the calendar. (If using Outlook UI, click drop down arrow next to Outlook, then calendar. If using Hotmail, click Hotmail then Calendar). Click the subscribe hyperlink and leave it there.
In a new tab or window, log in to your google account, and go into Calendar. Click settings gear, then Settings. Select the Calendar hyperlink below the search box, and there should be an auto-configured calendar for your country towards the bottom. Click the appropriate calendar and it will open a new page with some options to edit. There is a calendar graphic located in the centre, with three small rectangle boxes below. Right click ical, and copy the link.
We now move back to Hotmail/Outlook, and paste this into the Calendar URL box. You can name this whatever you want, but I kept it the same as Google Calendar name. Hit save. Go back to the calendar to confirm it worked. Now you can close the windows/tabs if all went according to plan.
Since a lot of people like Videos, I screen recorded without sound, what I outline above.
Nokia Lumia (or any Windows Phone )
Sync your mail for the account you just added the Calendar to. This will update the calendar entries in your phone. Now go to the Calendar app, press the … in the bottom right corner, then Settings. You should now see the new calendar in this list, and can enable it if you need to. This will allow you to have the correct holidays for your country/region appear on the lock screen.

There's also a "native" way without having to go through Google: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/hotmail/holiday-alternative-calendars-ui
Then again, there are no 2013 holidays in my 2013 calendar, but that appears to be a bug that Microsoft is already working on: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/hotmail-calendar/2013-holidays-missing-from-hotmail-calendar/e5d21d38-833f-4ee3-a9c0-17a291505d75
Damn, i thought only microsoft, but google calendar is wrong for Malaysia
@StefanH, that is not correct for many countries(including malaysia and UK). I did even raise it in microsoft forums long ago, still no answer though…
Really? I didn't know that. What happens when you add the Microsoft Malaysian or UK holiday calendar on calendar.live.com? Do they show US holidays instead of the local holidays?
Every calendar has its own color, it will show them with different colors. Now that lots of people started using hotmail calendar because of Lumia phones, would be better they had fixed it immediately.
At least on WP8 you can change these colours manually and you can also give the same colour to different calendars, so this shouldn't really be a problem …
Did that and it works on my Lumia 800. I did one or two holidays missing from the Malaysian Google Calendar, though. Deepavali isn't listed there, oddly enough, even though the East Malaysian states (Sabah and Sarawak) don't celebrate it.
It's the best time to make some plans for the future
and it's time to be happy. I have learn this put up and if
Icould I wish to suggest you few interesting issues or
suggestions. Maybe you can write next articlesreferring to this article. I want to read even more
issues approximately it!

Sheleah D. Reed
If you want to know anything about PVAMU, the first person you should call is Sheleah Reed. If she does not know the answer, she can find someone or provide something that can answer your question. As the Executive Director of Communications, Reed has developed a knack for getting information out of people and getting it to the right people pretty quickly. It could be her nearly 15 years of varied experience in the field of communications – she's worked in higher education, banking, entertainment, test preparation and even served as editor of PVAMUs student newspaper – or her fondness for Oprah, reality television, shiny things, shopping, quotes, and pop culture. Either way, those skills are used every day as she oversees the marketing and communication efforts that enhance Prairie View A&M University's reputation and visibility.
The staff in the Office of Marketing and Communications oversees crisis communications, media relations efforts, social media initiatives and manage alumni relations including communicating with alumni and donors. The department also supports student recruitment projects, helps with fundraising, assists with website management, develops key publications and advertising campaigns, helps coordinate special events and oversees brand building.
Carol Campbell
"Miss Protocol," as she is known around campus, has over 31 years of experience as a producer, special events and protocol management expert in entertainment and higher education. Before returning to work for her beloved alma mater, Carol spent 10 years working with nationally syndicated television shows PM Magazine, Laverne and Shirley and the Home Box Office (HBO) network in Los Angeles. She is the co-author of Thurgood Marshall College Fund's publication, "8 Winning Steps To Creating A Successful Special Event" and was also trained at The Protocol School of Washington. Carol has a unique role at PVAMU, as she works for both the Offices of the President and Marketing and Communications. She works directly with the National Alumni Association and serves as the primary liaison for the National Alumni Association, coordinates alumni gatherings, class reunions and presidential events and fundraisers.
Edie Charlot
If you aren't careful, Edie will rub off on you. She's friendly, funny, always smiling and has a "can do" attitude that can't be ignored. With 20 years of experience in database system management, she's the perfect person to manage the university's alumni database. Between that database and her knowledge, she probably can name or at least recognize the names of PVAMU's 64,000 graduates. Challenge her and she will do it with a smile. Those skills are used daily while she assists with the outreach to our alumni through awareness gatherings, events, class reunions and activities.
Candace Johnson
Candace joined the Office of Marketing and Communications in 2012, bringing with her a host of ideas and a slight obsession with all things media. She remembers using magazine layouts as wallpaper, playing loud music and creating short stories. A native of Oklahoma City, by way of Dallas, Candace holds an MBA in Media Management from Metropolitan College of New York and earned both her bachelor's and master's (one is communications and one in community development) from PVAMU. When she is not planning alumni gatherings, writing for social media or updating the website, you will find her looking for the latest way to spread the good news of PVAMU to alumni audiences.
Christi Landry
Christi's love for writing and words started as a child. The daughter of a teacher, she loved writing stories, songs and even book reports. Fast forward a few years and that affinity has blossomed into a career path that encompasses what she loves: communicating. Christi is a former newspaper reporter, having won awards for her coverage of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. A Louisiana native, she took her skills on the road and ended up at PVAMU where she has worked for five years. She's responsible for handling media relations, managing the homepage of the website, photography, writing and a bevy of other duties. She now understands why "Prairie View Produces Productive People" and is obsessed with the color purple (the actual color, not the movie…well…maybe that too).
Jena L. Peevy
As a PVAMU alum and marketing specialist, Jena's degree in communications coupled with her love for the University fuels her ability to find the best medium needed to tell the world of the greatness of Prairie View A&M. She contributed seven of her eight years in communications to the Division of Enrollment Management and adds that knowledge to this role, as she develops the execution of marketing and communication strategies to enhance and build the brand image of the entire University. She's a native of Houston and a lover of all things related to music, sneakers and football. At the top of the list is spending quality time with family and friends.

So many great ideas on this thread! Thank you all so much!
Glad to be helpful. It's been a long evolution for us. Some recent additions have been to add some more seafood and seaweed, drink Kombucha, and now I'm trying to add some more fermented veggies. I'm also not perfectly good every day but it really helps to have ideas on hand of foods that I'd like to eat and not feel guilty about that are providing some positive nutrition for my body. When you first switch to a new diet, it's so much easier to see all the things that you can't have, and it helps to have a stocked fridge, freezer, cupboard, and purse full of good things to eat. If I'm hungry, I'll eat, and if I don't have healthy food around, I'll eat whatever I can get if I'm hungry enough.
It depends on what, exactly, I'm cooking. When I make refried beans--because they're not soup-like, they're a lot thicker--I do the 24-hr soak/ferment and dump that water, and then I simmer the beans til they're done in plain water, and then drain and add sauteed onions and garlic and spices with the fat, and then as much stock as it needs (sometimes I let that simmer a bit to reduce the stock). But for lentil soup or anything else that's a real soup, I cook the lentils in the stock and add the veggies and such at the appropriate times (just following whatever the original recipe says).
I'm in the middle of stuff but don't want to lose this thread, so I'll reply quickly and get back to this later when I'm more focused.... vegetarian for 10-15 years, four of those vegan. Temporarily ate meat at the end of my third child's pregnancy, then resumed full time at the beginning of my fourth, never went back. Despite that, dh is ovolacto except for stressful times, when he lapses to pesco (and usually crap from BK, at that!) and the kids are ovolacto-except-for-gelatine (I make handmade corn syrup free marshmallows and am hoping to start a small business).
I do the roast a whole bird, strip off the meat, portion it for different things and freeze in servings if it's not going to be eaten in the near future, then freeze the bones, skin, scrap fat etc for broth making yesterday. This weekend, there was a death locally and I pulled out the bone stash, started broth with rice wine vinegar, himalayan salt, onions, celery and red bell peppers, then roasted a whole chicken seasoned with himalayan salt & habanero sauce over the skin. I ate the crispy skin & wings right away, stripped the breast meat off to chill and add to the finished soup later and bagged up the dark meat to eat later, then tossed the carcass, flabby skin from under the bird, scrap fat & scraps of meat into the soup pot with the already simmering soup. I cooked it while dealing with my stuff, then scooped out the solids. It chilled overnight and the rendered fat (schmaltz) hardened on top, easily removed, and the broth gelled underneath.
ANYWAY, I need to get back to work, but I'll chat more about the transition later. Good luck!!! It may be what your body needs but that doesn't make choking it down any easier.
Why pull out the giblets and neck? I roast them along with the bird and then toss them in the broth, or toss them into the broth along with the raw chicken if I skip the pre-roasting step. I don't bother with the liver because one liver is not enough to bother cooking, but pass it along to the cats.
As a moment of laughter, when I was learning to process chickens, I found recipes reminding me to remove the paper envelope from the bird to be HYSTERICALLY funny. If I found a paper package inside one of MY birds, something would have been seriously wrong!!!

LOL! That's the point. I was butchering them myself. If I chopped off their head, pulled off their feathers and opened them up... to find a little paper bag? SOMETHING would be very wrong. :)
For the whole chicken, I would roast the chicken first, eat the roasted meat (or eat some and slice the rest for later meals), and then make soup out of the roasted bones. I think the raw bones give a slightly tastier broth, but roasted meat is so much tastier than boiled meat, and I personally don't like boiled poultry unless it's small amounts floating in soup.
I generally eat eggs and veggies for breakfast, meat or fish or cheese and veggies for lunch, fruit and nuts for afternoon snack ,and then meat (or fish or cheese) and veggies and grains for dinner. I generally have meat or poultry once a day and fish or cheese for the other meal (fish more often than cheese.) I don't do well without animal protein at each meal and I don't do well if I have grains more than once a day. When I have beans, it's with veggies and animla protein- it reduces my portion of meat but doesn't eliminate it. You may find that you do well having meat a few times a week and vegetable protiens for most of your other meals, or that one kind of meat is more nourishing for you than another kind. We're all different.
My lunches are generally leftovers, or a can of sardines over a salad. DD1 usually packs leftovers for lunch, DS usually has rice and beans in a thermos or a cheese sandwich, and DD2 usually skips lunch at school and then has veggie/bean soup after school for lunch. DS usually has oatmeal or cereal and milk or yogurt for breakfast, DD2 eats homemade cookies in school, DD1 packs quiche, and I make omelettes (or sometimes sauteed veggies with farmer cheese instead of eggs) for myself.
Dinners we generally eat together. I try to rotate various meals: we roast a turkey half breast on Friday nights, usually "breakfast for dinner" on Saturdays, pizza once a week, beef burgers, stir fry (with leftover turkey but tofu works too), sometimes meatballs or meatloaf, shepard's pie, or meatball soup. We tend to use a lot of ground meat because it's cheaper, and none of us really feel satisfied with dinner if there's no meat in it (except for pizza night, and I don't want us having that much cheese more than once a week.)
Wow, thank you all so much for the welcoming feedback and great ideas!
I love the details about what is eaten for different meals, etc.--that's the kind of information that I'm trying to wrap my head around and really internalize.
We have been relying waaay too much on breads, cheese, and fruit, which of course sounds like a yummy indulgent picnic lunch, but is not the greatest basis for our family's health. I'd like to move more toward relying primarily on meat and vegetables, a bit of whole grains/legumes, with minimal dairy, fruit---but old habits die hard! and I am having to learn entirely new patterns for how to cook and feed my family. Plus dh and dd are sugar/carb addicts and want fruit, bread, jam, etc for snacks while I reach for chips and salsa which is pretty much the same thing just in a different shape ;) Soooo.....I think snacks are our weak spot!
I have tried boiling the chicken (because it seemed the easiest method) and the first time, it was good, but the second time (using crockpot) was overcooked and mushy, yuck! So I think I will try the roast chicken idea next time.
Oh, and that congee for breakfast idea, mmm, gotta try it!
Yeah, I don't like boiled chicken much either, though if I make chicken soup, I figure there's no point in wasting the meat and put it into something highly seasoned to give some flavor.
Who said something about congee for breakfast? That sounds great, I could go for a bowl of congee, maybe with some kimchi, right about now. Not that I have any. I wonder if presoaking the rice in acidulated water would speed up the cooking process as well as breaking down the phytic acid. Hey, while I think of it, does anybody make congee with brown rice?
As an aside, I've noticed that if I ignore meat cravings and continue eating too little animal protein, when I finally eat it, it takes a lot more meat to make me feel human again. I'd been telling friends "I'd kill for a steak" for a while... not sure how long but it had to be at least a week. I've no idea what I was eating in the meantime but I'm assuming mostly vegetarian starch centered. When I finally got meat, I ate the entire 1.3lb steak in about 12 seconds and if I hadn't frozen the rest, I'd probably have cooked a second. But I felt SO much calmer afterwards. Starch based ovolacto really does a number on my moods & ability to control my temper! I ought to go back to the store and see if the rib eyes are still on sale and put more in the freezer.

Conditions for spiritual benefit
True lessons of Rabi ul Awwal
Prescription for Barakah
"Happiness lies in restraining oneself from Haraam "
This life is a journey. We are all on a journey and we are traveling all the time.
…Even if the person is a couch potato, and passing his life in inactivity and idleness, he too is traveling. If the person is sitting, lying down or sleeping, he too is traveling. The person is in a car: The car is moving and covering distance, and simultaneously, the journey of life too is continuing. The person's life is moving on and on.
One breath follows another. And every breath of life is part of that journey. Seconds are ticking away. Minutes slip through the hourglass of time. Days and nights bring a close to weeks and weeks bring a close to months and months bring a close to the years. Hazrat Hasan Basri (Rahmatullahi 'Alayh) had so aptly said: "O Son of Aadam! You are nothing but a number of days. Whenever a day passes, a part of you has gone."

Our Muslim names, Islamic dress and our prayers are like the sign board found outside a shop, which informs us that inside this shop, sweets, chocolates, biscuits, cakes, fruit, etc. are stocked and sold. The person reading the signboard thus expects to find what has been advertised outside, inside that shop.
What would be the reaction of the person if he or she finds cow dung, horse manure and cat's droppings inside, instead of sweets and chocolates?
In a similar vein, our beautiful Muslim names and Islamic garb informs others that inside our hearts there is certain 'merchandise' in the form of firm Imaan in Allah Ta'ala and love for His Beloved Rasul (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam). A person expects to find, the attributes of trustworthiness, honesty, sincerity, forgiveness, charity, Taqwa (piety), Zuhd (asceticism), Sabr (patience), Shukr (gratitude), etc. These are the qualities and traits a person expects to find in his social dealings with us.
The 'Suhbat' or company of the Auliya Allah (Friends of Allah Ta'ala) is such that even if they remain silent in their Majaalis, those who are present and who had come with sincerity, will leave with Noor in their hearts.
It is via this Noor that a person makes sincere Taubah, and it is this Noor which is instrumental in creating the keen desire of change in the person's life.
Fragrant roses in a room do not give any speech. Their fragrance imbues throughout the room, enters the nostrils and creates pleasure in the heart. The conditions for benefiting are :
The roses must be real and fragrant; not artificial. The people in the room must have their noses open and sinuses unclogged.
Thursday 05/08/10
If our sinuses are unclogged we can begin to smell the fragarance of the Blessed month of Ramadaan that is approaching. Example of scraping off old paint through Taubah in order to prepare the heart to receive the fresh new paint of Rahmat coming in Ramadaan. Zikr and Dua.
Sunday 31/08/08
