A disturbing and potentially deadly game known as "Knockout" is gaining new attention after recent incidents were reported in New York and Washingotn D.C. within the last week. We want to warn you, some of the images you're about to see might be unsettling.
In the game, teens and some young adults will walk up to someone with the goal of punching them in the head so hard it knocks them out. In some cases, it's recorded on cell phones and published online. (Via WUSA)
Earlier this week near D.C., a 27-year-old woman told WJLA she was attacked by a teen who was playing the game but wasn't knocked out.
REPORTER: "She was walking home along a busy section of 14th Street in Columbia Heights. A group of teens on bicycles came up behind her, one punched her in the back of her head hard, and the group rode off laughing."
While that's the most recently reported incident, WRC-TV reports the attacks have been going on for several years, often with devastating results.
REPORTER: "This one in Pittsburgh resulted in life-threatening injuries to a teacher. Another case in Chicago caused the death of a 62-year-old grandfather."
Most of the attacks have been reported as random, but in some cases it's seemed personal.
In two recent incidents a 19-year-old and a 12-year-old were both allegedly targeted by teens playing this so-called game. Some, including a victim's father, told WCBS they thought it was tied to them being Jewish.
Authorities say it's hard to find those responsible for any of the attacks, but if caught the consequences can be serious.
For example, after a man in St. Louis was killed from the knockout game backed in 2011, his attacker was found guilty and sentenced to 55 years in prison for murder and first degree assault. (Via KTVI)
And The Post-Standard reports a 15-year-old boy found guilty of killing a man in Syracuse, New York was sentenced to 18 months in confinement. Another Syracuse teen is facing first degree manslaughter charges for a separate incident.

African-American engineer and inventor Lonnie G. Johnson was born in Alabama in 1949. After graduating from Tuskegee University with a master's degree, Johnson joined the U.S. Air Force and was assigned to the Strategic Air Command, where he helped develop the stealth bomber program. His other assignments included working as a systems engineer for the Galileo mission to Jupiter and the Cassini mission to Saturn. Johnson also created the Super Soaker squirt gun,
which became one of the most popular toys in the world.
Early Life and Education
Lonnie George Johnson was born on October 6, 1949, in Mobile, Alabama. His father was a World War II veteran who worked as a civilian driver at nearby Air Force bases, while his mother worked in a laundry and as a nurse's aid. During the summers, both of Johnson's parents also picked cotton on his grandfather's farm. Out of both interest and economic necessity, Johnson's father was a skilled handyman who taught his children to build their own toys. When Johnson was still a small boy, he and his dad built a pressurized Chinaberry shooter out of bamboo shoots. At the age of 13, Johnson attached a lawnmower engine to a go-cart he built from junkyard scraps and raced it along the highway until the police pulled him over.
Johnson dreamed of becoming a famous inventor and, during his teenage years, began to grow more curious about the way things worked and more ambitious in his experimentation—sometimes to the detriment of his family. "Lonnie tore up his sister's baby doll to see what made the eyes close," his mother later recalled. Another time, he nearly burned the house down when he attempted to cook up rocket fuel in one of his mother's saucepans and the concoction exploded.
Growing up in Mobile in the days of legal segregation and pervasive racism, Johnson attended Williamson High School, an all-black facility, where, despite his precocious intelligence and creativity, he was told not to aspire beyond a career as a technician. Nevertheless, inspired by the story of famed African-American inventor George Washington Carver, Johnson persevered in his dream of becoming an inventor.
Nicknamed "The Professor" by his high school buddies, as a senior, Johnson represented his school at the 1968 Alabama State Science Fair. The fair took place at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, where, just five years earlier, in 1963, Governor George Wallace had tried to prevent two black students from enrolling in the school by standing in the doorway of the auditorium. Johnson was the only black student in the competition. His entry was a compressed-air-powered robot, called "the Linex," that he had painstakingly built from junkyard scraps over the course of a year. Much to the chagrin of the university officials, Johnson won first prize at the State Science Fair, as well as a reward of $250 and a handsome plaque. "The only thing anybody from the university said to us during the entire competition," Johnson later recalled, "was 'Goodbye' and 'Y'all drive safe, now.'"

Washington, 15 Feb 06
The meeting in Washington 8 February was co-chaired by Mayor Joan Clos of Barcelona, and Ms. Inga Bjork-Klevby, Deputy Executive-Director of UN-HABITAT.
Mayor Clos, who is Chairman of UNACLA, said that in addressing the challenges of our urbanised modern society, cities and those who managed them had to be considered key to solving urban problems. Citing examples from China, India, Africa and Latin America, he said local authorities were committed to making their contribution to the improvement of urban living conditions and application of the Millennium Development Goals at the local level.
Ms Bjork-Klevby, citing the personal commitment and drive of Mayor Clos, said: "We are indeed privileged witnesses of a changing world, where cities have made a decisive breakthrough towards the international recognition of the local dimension of development. This is a very encouraging trend."
She said UN-HABITAT would continue its advocacy work for the promotion of local authorities and the direct involvement of local leaders and their associations in the daily activities of the United Nations for the benefit of the urban poor.

Achilles tendinitis is caused by repetitive or intense strain on the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon is used when you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.
The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury — particularly in people who may participate in sports only on the weekends or who have suddenly increased the intensity of their running programs.

An Introspective Look At How Fear Has Guided My Life
I have a confession to make. I've lived in fear for most of my life.
When I was in high school, I was terrified that I would not get into a top university.
When I got into college, I was terrified that I wouldn't get a job when I graduated.
After spending too many hours working my day job, I was terrified that I would never fall in love.
When my wife wanted to quit her job, I was terrified that we wouldn't be able to buy a house or live the lifestyle I wanted to live.
When the economic downturn hit, I was terrified that I might lose my job.
As a result, many of my decisions have been based off of fear.
Tackling My Fears
What's ironic is that fear has always been good to me.
In high school, I busted my ass and molded myself into the type of student that Stanford(my alma mater) typically accepts. I turned myself into a well rounded person (at least on paper) by getting good grades and becoming proficient with a musical instrument.
I played varsity volleyball and became the best starting outside hitter for my team. I worked on my speech skills by joining the debate team. And I even nerded it up with the math team despite getting teased by my peers.
In college, I got good grades and got to know the professors who could provide me with a referral when it came time to getting an interview for a full time job. I even blasted out resumes to random companies and attended career fairs (these last two tactics don't work very well BTW).
Post college, I forced myself to go out, meet new people and finally met my wife! Once I found her, she didn't have a chance once I turned on the charm. (Sorry dear, you may have a differing opinion but I have full editorial control over this blog:)).
Most of you are probably familiar with my last 2 fears. My wife and I started an online store to improve our lifestyle post kids and I started monetizing MyWifeQuitHerJob.com as a hedge against losing my job.
If I wasn't so scared of being poor, none of these businesses would ever have materialized.
So What's The Point?
So why am I telling you all of this? It's because for the first time in my life, I'm not really terrified of anything and it's scaring the crap out of me.
Right now, I have a house that I'm happy living in for the next 30 years or so. I have a beautiful, loving wife and two ridiculously cute kids.
I have several diversified income streams such that if any one of them fails, my family should be fine on the financial front.
So what's bugging me? Ever since the financial blogging conference(FinCon), I've been thinking a lot about what to do with my life. At the conference, I met many people who quit their jobs and are now traveling with reckless abandon.
I met people who wake up in the morning, write a few articles and then spend the rest of the day playing golf or tennis.
What the heck should I be doing with my life now that things are pretty stable?
I'm sure I could enjoy playing beach volleyball or ultimate frisbee everyday for a little while. I'm sure I would enjoy traveling across the globe with reckless abandon for a while too. But eventually, I know I would get bored with this lifestyle. It's simply not a long term solution for me.
My Priorities
One thing that will always be priority will be my family. Thanks to our businesses and my awesome day job, my wife and I have already spent way more time than our own parents did with us as young children.
Personally, I think one of the most important aspects of parenting is to simply be present with your child.
You don't have to do anything fancy. You don't have to take them to a lot of places or buy them a lot of material goods.
You simply have to play with your kids and be there for them as they develop into adults.
As it stands, I feel like my daughter is already growing up way too fast and I don't want to miss anything. Plus, I need to keep tabs on her because she's playing with way too many boys. The other day, she came home from school and told me that she and her friends spent the day sharing their underwear with each other. Sounds harmless right?
But when I asked her what was on her friend's underwear she listed off a bunch of names: Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Transformers, Cars, Superman. After 10 or so underwear designs, it dawned on me that all of these underwear belonged to boys!!! WTF!
The Real Question
The real question in my mind right now is whether I should consider quitting my job in order to spend even more time at home. My blog already earns a good amount of money and I anticipate that MyWifeQuitHerJob.com's revenue will likely surpass my day job income next year which would allow for a lot more financial flexibility.

Should I stay or should I go?
Deep down, my dream life is to be able to hang out with my friends and family all day long without worrying about anything. In my ideal world, we'd all be sitting by the beach drinking beer and watching our kids play in the sand. Unfortunately, my friends keep buying ridiculously expensive houses and signing up for large incarcerating mortgages which is preventing my dream from coming true!.
Recently, one of my friends plopped down 1.6 million dollars for a 1900 sq ft house in a good school district. Guess who is going to be working for a very long time? As you can probably tell, I don't believe in signing up for large mortgages.
To Quit Or Not To Quit
At the financial blogging conference, I had the opportunity to meet several people who have quit their jobs as a result of their blog and I got a lot of great advice about life.
For example, this is what Jim Wang from Bargaineering said to me in one of our conversations. (To be honest, I hate quoting Jim because it means he's going to give me crap later….but here goes)
You don't quit because you can, you quit because you should since doing so frees up your time to pursue XYZ – whatever that is. Eventually I quit because I felt that unless I devoted more time to Bargaineering, I'd be regretful if things faded and I was working my 8-10 hours at a job that paid far less than my hobby.
Right now, I don't have an XYZ to pursue. So I guess I need to figure things out before I make any life changing decisions. We all need some fear in our lives and I need to find something to be afraid of and go for it.
What would you all do if you didn't need to work your day job? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Steve,
In response to your "fear" question be afraid to quit your day job! If you can do it, do it and be afraid. Spend every minute you can with your children. I wish I found your site and profitable online store course sooner. My store would have been open and I wouldn't have missed a single minute of my daughter. My goal is to get a store up so I can quit my day job. Even though she is now 12 yrs old, I will be home if she needs me. I will be able to make a better life and get her into a great school. So go ahead be afraid of quitting your day job! You can do it!
Wow, your kids are cute Steve!! That's a really hard question. I can tell you that if he could, my husband would most definitely quit his day job. What would you stand to lose by quitting your day job? Just wondering.
Hey. One of the reasons I cut back on clients a while back was to free up more time to do more with my son, and to focus more on what I enjoy, like reading, camping, and music. If I focus (and don't get distracted by the Internet), I can be done by lunchtime, and I have time for what I want to do, whether it's having my nails done, loading up the car to head for the mountains, or just vegging out. And I have time to travel a little bit, too (although not quite around the world).
But I'm pretty low-key. I don't have huge ambitions to be a millionaire, or to become hugely famous. For me, it's about the flexibility. Being able to go to lunch with my husband when he asks, or to go to a movie in the middle of the day, or to be able to party it up in Denver for four days.
I would travel. I could care less whether I am driving a BMW or a rust bucket. But both money and free time can be well spent on travel, experiencing new things, seeing new places.
As to the fear thing, I am as terrified as ever about finances. Even a penny debt scares me, and with 9 and 11 year old kids, we are at that stage where the hole is deep. But life finds a way, and I focus on everything I am doing; that keeps my terror at bay.
Hey Steve,
What about finding the meaning of life for you? Or start investing time into making a meaningful difference in other's lives (outside of online businesses). Become a Big Brother. Volunteer as a shelter. Raise funds for a well in Africa. There is so much more to life than the security that you're talking about. Evaluate your heart, do some research, and leave a lasting legacy on this earth.Someone that comes to mind is Dave Ramsey. That guy's business has radically changed so many lives, and he is wealthy enough to be philanthropic whenever and however he wants.
Grace and Peace,
Denny -
Love this line, "for the first time in my life, I'm not really terrified of anything and it's scaring the crap out of me." Just sit back, enjoy and be content!
If I didn't have to work my day job and could pursue my blogs and online income full time – I think I'd probably spend more time doing things with my son (I already do quite a bit of that anyway), find more time for leisure activities like learning or practicing instruments more, and in general just finding a way to spend more time with extended family like my siblings, my parents and my wife's parents. The older I get the more I realize the importance of family, and also just how short life is. We really need to take advantage of the time we've got, cause you never know when you may lose someone you love.
I agree with Jim that quitting just because you can isn't necessarily a great reason. Having a good reason, or reasons, to quit would be a good idea. Personally I need to work the day job still – my blog income has done well the past couple of years, but I'm nowhere near the level that some folks are. Having that day job and side income together really makes a huge difference, and thankfully the day job isn't overly demanding on my time.
Tough decisions!
Great post Steve. If I didn't need to work my day job, I would probably do the exact same thing I'm doing right now, but for 40 hours per week instead of 80.
Working as a full time artist lets me wake up everyday and do whatever I want. 10 hours per week in front of a computer and 30 hours making pottery would be a great balance for my mind and body. Since graduation 2 years ago, I've been structuring my own career path everyday. Many people see my life a full time artist as a huge success, but I fear because it's failing financially.
I'm afraid of bankruptcy, defaulting on my small business loan (for a 3rd time), driving my parents' car, using their health care, and occasionally their money to pay my rent. My dad paid for all of my college and I left college with zero student loans, and I still can't make ends meet financially. It's embarrassing and doesn't feel like success.
My pottery mentors and college professors taught me that my artwork comes before anything else in my career. I think this is the key to making really great artwork, and that it's a lifelong process with no definite answers. There is no single peak, there are many peaks and valleys. Maybe you should start heading down the mountain and find another peak to climb!
mywifequitherjob.com and bumblebeelinens.com are huge success storys built by YOU. You have the chance to help others find success- that's your XYZ. You, your wife and 2 kids are living the American dream, and helping others achieve it!!!
I'm not sure about your other students, but I haven't found success. But I'm happy with my artwork…and the pots look great. Oh well, back to the wheel…
The goal to ways use fear to serve you, not hold you back.
When I was working for Commerce One I gave notice not only once, but twice. I wasn't happy working the long hours and constant travel. In addition, wanted to own my own business since that was my long term goal. At that time also met up with some business partners who would assist (how that worked out is a whole other issue). Since then, while I've had my ups and downs, I've never looked back.
At the time was the toughest decision I every made. Without question once I made that decision it was a weight off my shoulders. Also since then I also laugh about how hard a decision it was for me then, I make much harder decisions now.
I guess the question you have to ask yourself is where to you go in the next ten years. That should help make the decision much easier.
Steve, I have a feeling that you already made up your mind and now you are just looking for a "logical" justification. It looks that you are just "cooking" yourself until you'll be ready to inform your boss… it will be easier than you think it would
I know the above could be a mistake but that is my opinion. Also I think that it is a natural development of your career and a natural process that you are taking with yourself until it will be the right moment for you. Whatever it is, good luck
Travel, travel, travel with our son – that's on the agenda for when I'm able to leave my current position. A lot of things have to fall into place before I can make the leap. But what has helped is adjusting my thinking on what a successful life looks like. For many years I had an internal battle between prestige (& material things) and freedom. But after some lengthy soul searching, some truth has emerged. Prestige feeds my ego, but freedom and the freedom to pursue new experiences, feeds my soul.
Plus getting to be a place where I can dictate my life is a lot cheaper than pursuing the latest must-have or buying an expensive home filled with expensive crap that will only be stained by my son soon enough =)
Steve, can you elaborate on why financing a home is a wrong move? Will you rent long-term?
I agree with Denny. Freelance would be great.
I am running a brick and mortar store, and looking to expand online (hopefully in the next week!). This is my 'retirement' job. I was a computer consultant for 25 yrs. Then stayed home with kids when they were teens for quite a few years. I WAS BORED OUT OF MY MIND! I need the daily challenges and 'goals'. I love to try new things and need something to keep me interested and invested. So I don't ever see myself doing 'nothing'. Playing golf, traveling, or XYZ wouldn't be enough for me. THIS is what I do. If I get tired of my store, I'll move on to something else. (I'm already moving on, and still running my store!) My kids are grown. And yes, I want enough time to do some traveling, and some visiting, and some hobbies… But I don't EVER see myself retired. I personally need the stimulation of a 'project', and I also think it's good role modeling for my kids to see me working and accomplishing.
We all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning, and to get out of our pajamas!
Hi Sheri, What a cute store you have, looks like a fun place to work. Your reason to get out of bed in the morning doesn't have to be a job. Serving and giving back can be more rewarding than any money you make. Best of Luck with your online store.
Is it possible that you are a little afraid that your day job is your XYZ? That you actually like the work enough to take time out of your day to do it (for now)? Perhaps you can balance the reward with the risk and do it part time… I think as a society it would go a long way if we started accepting part timers as valuable go-getters in the work place, instead of only valuing those that put in all the hours and are there first and leave last.
Great blog – been reading you for years, and you were a big part of me selling my client-based business to pursue running a more flexible e-commerce site. Now my income is fully replaced by it and I get to spend tons of time with my daughter and make my own schedule. THANK YOU!
I agree with your conclusion after Jim's masterful insight Just coming off a 6 month parental leave, I'm thinking that staying home didn't necessarily help me to grow my business, so why quit my job and lose that income?
Obviously there are the lifestyle benefits of getting to spend more time with your family, but that could be outweighed by the stress of having to justify quitting by increasing my online income by that lost amount.
First off, what beautiful kids you were blessed with. Sounds like FINCOM was a life changing experience. If anything, it's got you thinking about your future and that's a good thing. Hopefully, you can make the right decision for you and not be influenced by what others are doing. We have always lived within our means and put God and Family first. Now that we have grown kids we see the benefits. You'll never regret the times you spend with your kids. I think there is a happy balance, but it takes time to find.
Best of Everything,
Bettie -

In your line of work you should be able to transfer into a consultant. Then you can stay technologically current and pick and choose the projects you want to work on. As for fear, you can channel your "fear and concerned energy" into things that you think might help the future of your children, like safe food, a clean environment, personal liberties, or whatever issue concerns you most. -
Love this article. I believe a certain amount of fear is good if kept within boundaries. I left the corporate world in 2008, or I probably should say was laid of twice and was never able to find another job. The truth is: there is not one thing I miss about that environment, even though I'm struggling to pay the few bills I have – My heart is at peace, and I am much happier not having to be a part of that world.
I love your blog, and I'm so grateful for your willingness to share your fears openly, along with your successes. It helps me feel more comfortable in my own fear, and helps me remember that this is normal for everyone, even extremely successful people. We can have fear, we WILL have fear, and we can choose to move through it.
Check out this video from Marie Forleo. She is wonderful, and I appreciated the insight here so much. It was a surprise to me, not at all what I expected.
I hope it helps you process your current fear!
Fear is a powerful emotion, which drives a lot of productivity in the modern world. Speaking of that though, it seems to me that you are afraid of letting go of your comfortable position and the accompanied lifestyle even though your logical analysis already told you what's possible.
Btw, why do I feel like I know who you are thinking of when you talk about the people who write a blog post or two and then go play tennis or golf?
I worked a full-time job for 15 years. When my boys were 7 & 9 I became a stay-at-home homeschooling mom for six years. Then I got divorced and all of the marital debt – not by court order but by ex's refusal to work. Having been out of the workforce for that long, I was obsolete and had to take a job paying much less so paying off the debt has taken a VERY LONG TIME. It's been over six years and I'm about halfway. I used to be ticked at myself for sacrificing my career but then my youngest died at age 17 a year and a half ago. I have absolutely ABSOLUTELY no regrets about the years I spent home with them. I cherish those memories far more than I can ever put into words. You just never know what life is going to throw at you. If you don't need the income from your day job, invest in your children.
Even though I work for myself I'm thinking about the very issues you have as well. My wife currently works and I'd love for her to quit so she could be with the kids like she wants. I could put more into my business as well. But that might just require us moving somewhere that has a lower cost of living (I live in Nassau County just outside NYC). It's a scary thought to move and I'm not sure we can do it right now but it's something that we'll have in the back our minds for the future.
My question lately has been – how crazy is it living the suburban lifestyle? I know there are many who are happy but it seems like so many more are moving in routine and doing things just because that are "supposed to." It doesn't seem like living to me.
I hope you can find what's best for you and your family Steve. Sometimes closing one door to open another clears the way for more opportunities than you would have imagined.
Hey Steve, it's funny that you say this is the first time you have no fear as I'm getting there now as well….I think you and I are at about the same point in life (and if I remember correctly, the same age too).
It seems that once you've built your family and gain the confidence with enough years experience as an entrepreneur that no matter what happens, you can always find a way to make money to support your basic needs. So really, what else is there to fear?
If I were in your shoes, I think running this blog, managing the online store, raising your kids, and enjoying life sounds like plenty to keep you out of boredom.
What good does the extra money you are earning from your day job bring you? From the sounds of it, you're making some fat cash from the store and blog. Is the extra cash from your job significantly adding to your happiness levels?
Fear is a powerful motivator. My dad worked his entire life to provide for his family and it was always a struggle growing up. When he got older his company laid him off and even though he got a severance package it eventually led to financial ruin. His final years were difficult as he battled health problems and the frustrations of letting his family down (I always knew he did the best he could and respected him for it, but I don't think he felt the same way).
Fear of the same thing happening to me keeps me going. In the back of my head I always know my employer can lay me off at any time and so I spend my free time building other income sources. The fear of losing my job keeps me up late writing and building my blog to help support my family.
Long term, my goal is to be able to live off my online business and outsource many of the time-consuming aspects so I can spend more time with my family. My kids are already growing up way too fast and I want to enjoy them as much as I can.
Hi Steve
As you said fear is holding you back, there is no good reason to stay in your job unless thats better than what your ideal at home would be. Im sure you have a bunch of ideas so if the business and the blog doesnt need much from you then why not branch out? Youve got to ask how much more you could do not working your day job even in your blog or business ? Whilst Im not in your position yet I too have decided that perhaps a business coach might help me to get some perspective to transitioning to quitting my job, so I am signing up to that. Sometimes its hard to get perspective in your insular world so I think perhaps a good* business coach might help me / you to understand your real goals and how to get there.
There's a quote, the more we gain, the more we fear of losing. However when there is fear, we keep on learning to stay away from the fear.
Me and my husband only have a little small online store, real small that is only enough for our daily expenses, no luxury, car or any big house.
And of cause, we are not satisfied and its really not enough for the current economy so now I plan on making a free tutorial blog and hopefully I can do something about it when traffic increases.
But sometimes we just console ourselves that there are so many parents or mothers who wish to stay at home with their kids. Both of us succeeded, we built a store and quit our job out of fear.
With the small store, we managed to stay at home with our son. As he is a tonsillitis kid, he tends to get sore throat and fever easily. He took antibiotics monthly which however is useless. But we managed to avoid surgery and control it. He's a 5 years old big boy now.
And as long as he stays healthy and our family stays together.
A big shift was coming to terms with what really matters to me and not worrying about what I thought should matter to me (a big house, a nice car…).
What matters most to me is having the freedom to choose how I spend my time. That means more quality time with family & friends. More time traveling. More time experiencing & living life, not counting down the hours until the weekend.
Now that I know most things I care about don't really cost all that much, I've been able to let go of the fear (even if just a little bit) of not making money or not landing the right job. If I never have to redo my resume ever again, I'll be one happy girl.
I don't think some fears ever really go away. I think the way I've learned to deal with them is to acknowledge them and work through them. And most things I worry about never happen, anyway.
As for your situation, I think so long as you still enjoy your job and have enough work-life balance, you might as well stay. But if you're unhappy or you're not able to hang out with your family as much as you want to, then maybe it's time to move on. I wouldn't worry too much about your XYZ. I'm confident you'll figure it out as you go.
Hi Steve;
I can certainly relate to your being motivated by fear and getting great results from it. Personally I still am not a fan of how it feels even if it makes me stretch my limits.
Currently I'm working part time — 12 hr directly making money and 6 – 8 hr admin depending on the week. I travelled 12 wks this year (we have no kids and do not plan any) and will be starting art classes soon. This schedule may very well be my "retirement" one if I continue to enjoy it. I'm 40.
It has taken many years to carve out what I've just described and I feel fearful for I don't know why. My husband thinks it is just leftover of what I've felt all my life.
I say you've earned yourself some time to discover what draws you. Could you take a month or 3 off as a start and see how you do away from work? Join some groups and see if you really would do something when you don't "have to".
I started an ecommerce company about 10 years ago. For me, I knew it was time to quit my day job when I was making in a month close to what I make a year at my job. However, I had to make sure it was real. I feared it would all just go away so I waited about 6 months to see if it will sustain.
After awhile, I realize it was costing me money by working my job 10 to 12 hours a day as oppose to working on my business. That's when I quit to work online full time. It sounds like you are close to making that decision.
Thanks for sharing your fears! It is the toughest thing we do in relationships…
Having quit two solid corporate management jobs WITHOUT any other income nor much of a nest-egg either time to do exactly what you are considering, Yvette and I highly recommend following your current calling, er, vocation of being a dad…
Instead of building back-up income (as you have), we dramatically reduced our required "income" by slashing our expenses, moving into a converted bus with our six children. Not even running water so no sewer bill
Since you already have an income stream AND comparatively low monthly expenses, then you have already done the hard work to now follow your DAD vocation WITH VERY LITTLE STRESS. The kids will only be kids for a few short years and you can then reenter the "workforce" if you want to.
Oh, and about missing the friends at work…the solid, true relationships will continue but in other venues!!
Take Care and glad to have found you and your family through the FINCON2012 recaps!

Hi, I appreciate your blog and will read as much of it as I can.
Due to many recent events, I have learned to look at fear in a different way. Fear is as much a chemical reaction as anger, or lust. It simply means you have never experienced the event you are afraid of.
By actually moving forward, toward your goal– in tiny steps, you overcome the fear. So, in one way, it is a motivator, but I see it in another way, as a phase in a process. Fear is just another step towards getting somewhere. When you feel fear, you are just telling yourself to be wary, because you have never gone this way before.
Fear is there to save your life, not to ruin it.

"What the heck should I be doing with my life now that things are pretty stable?"
A great question, becoming less and less frequent in today's society as so many struggle to stay above water.
It's a true and instinctive question, I find myself asking as well, since I'm past the days of worrying about the next meal, and more about the next move that's inline with both business, personal and life goals.
Personally, I'd love to consult/freelance a few hours a day, travel more and spend the rest of the timing learning/helping build eco-friendly housing, like cob houses.
Well I quit my job as an Accountant about a month ago to set up my online store and so that I could spend time with my 2 children. I had no other income and still don't as the wesite is still under process ut y God's Grace I have been receiving orders y word of mouth, but quitting my job is one of the best things I have ever done. Yes I have had to cut back on a lot of things but being able to take my daughter to and from school and spending all day with my 17 month old son is priceless. My daughter loves that I am now at home and my son has come on leaps and bounds with his development that I know that I have done the right thing.
As for setting up my business, its a scary but also exciting experience. I get scared about it all the time. I even get scared about the business becoming successful but I feel that this is the plan that God has for me so I just have to work hard and make my business into the kind of business that I want it to be.As for your question, you need to see what works for you and your family, as what may work for me may not work for you. I also miss the daily banter in the office but I keep in touch with a few of my old colleagues so we just have to have our daily banters via email.
Also I'm not sure what your spiritual beliefs are but I'm a Christian so most times when I cannot make a decision I always pray on it with the faith that God will answer. He always does, and with the answer he provides I always run with it.
My life mottot is pray or worry. You can only do one of the two

I just happened upon your site this morning and I feel so compelled to let you know that I'm pleasantly shocked and appreciate your willingness to help others achieve their financial goals.

I'm only in the embryo stages of considering an ecommerce site as a way of making money. Feeling overwhelmed by all that needs to be learned but blessed that there are people like you.

Try substituting vegetarian protein, such as tofu, for meat once a week. As we continue February's Doable Challenge to eat for heart health, this week I'd like to focus on fat (after all, today is Mardi Gras, aka Fat Tuesday). Dietary fats can be divided into broad good and bad categories, with the good including polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats found in plants, including avocados and nuts, as well as some animal sources such as fish. The worst fat, trans fat, is found mostly in packaged foods and has been linked to a number of health problems, including heart disease. Fortunately, trans fat has gotten much easier to avoid since 2006, when the FDA began requiring food manufacturers to list it on labels. They can still include it in small amounts (less than .5 g per serving) without labeling for it, so it's best to also steer clear of foods with "partially hydrogenated oil" listed on the label. The other bad fat, saturated fat, is found mostly in animal products, including meat, butter, and cream, as well as in some vegetable oils, including palm and coconut oil. As writer Beth Janes explains in Self magazine's 4 Healthy Fats (and One to Avoid), consuming too much saturated fat has long been associated with increased risk of heart disease, though some recent evidence has cast a somewhat better light on this fat. Still, experts, including the American Heart Association, recommend limiting saturated fat intake (The AHA advises that saturated fat make up less than 7 percent of your daily caloric intake). Read on for tips and recipes that'll help you slash saturated fat.
There are a number of ways to limit saturated fat, including the following:
- Choose skim or nonfat milk, yogurt, and other dairy products.
- Buy the leanest cuts of meat. - Reduce portion sizes of the fattiest foods, using cheese or meat as a garnish, rather than the main course.
- Remove skin from poultry (before or after cooking).
- Cook with olive oil or canola oil instead of butter.
- Use spreads such as hummus or nut butters instead of regular butter.
- Subsitute vegetarian protein, such as beans, nuts, and tofu, for meat at least once a week (Meatless Monday is a good way to do this).
* Crisp Oven-"Fried" Chicken: Lean skinless chicken breasts are breaded and oven baked for a healthy take on fried chicken.
* Quick Beef with Broccoli: This stir-fry recipe is made with sirloin tip, an extra lean cut of beef.
* Stir-Fried Bok Choy and Mizuna with Tofu: Here's a hearty vegetarian main.
* Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs: Make sure to choose lean ground turkey to keep this recipe low in saturated fat.
Learn more about one of the good fats, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and share your tips for cutting saturated fat in the Comments section.

Mission Chinese Food
San Francisco, CA 94110
SF Weekly's Description
A Chinese restaurant within a Chinese restaurant in the Mission District, Mission Chinese Food almost defies description. Working out of Lung Shan, the formally trained Danny Bowien (winner of the 2008 Pesto World Championships in Genoa) puts out a short menu of Chinese regional classics tweaked way beyond recognition. His Mongolian beef is made with braised beef cheeks and horseradish, his cumin lamb with lamb belly and soy-pickled long beans. Bowien's love for Sichuan food results in pickled cabbage that burns and buzzes at the same time, as well as deep-fried chicken wings buried in dried chiles, each wing coated with aromatic Sichuan peppercorns and star anise. The chef's restless spirit can result in duds (a salad wrapped in rice noodles), but no one else is making food like this, and for every dud is a Roman candle that explodes in showers of spice and sensation.

There's no doubt that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There's no other opportunity for me to stuff my face with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pecan pie, cranberry sauce, macaroni and cheese, and biscuits in one meal. Anything loaded with carbs and butter belongs on the table and eventually in my mouth. My family tends to have a big lunch, enjoys the beauty of feeling bloated, and then grazes on the leftovers for the rest of the day while we watch football and take necessary food coma naps. While it's the perfect recipe for holiday relaxation, there is something about Thanksgiving that isn't my favorite – days upon days of leftover turkey. While I love the classic turkey sandwich, after a couple of days, I'm ready for something that doesn't taste like Thanksgiving. This chowder is the cure.
Leftover turkey is the star in this recipe, but if you have leftover corn on the cob and baked potatoes, you can empty your Thanksgiving fridge with one swoop. The mild turkey and potatoes are given a lift with the sweet onions and corn and the spicy garlic, cumin, and cayenne. The chowder has a nice kick without being overpowering.
A word about yogurt: it's not just for breakfast smoothies. It feels weird to put plain yogurt on top of savory dishes, but I promise that it works. Not only does it work, it adds a bright, tangy component to this chowder (and many other recipes) that can't be matched. Finish that with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro, and you have a doesn't-taste-anything-like-Thanksgiving recipe that your entire family will love.
Turkey Corn Chowder
Ingredients from your kitchen:
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
½ yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
4 cups of chicken stock
2 cups of cooked turkey, shredded or diced
½ cup plain yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Ingredients to purchase:
2 ears of corn (may substitute 1 cup frozen corn)
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
In a large soup pot, sauté corn and onion in oil over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper. Add garlic. Cook an additional 2 minutes.
Add potatoes, salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add 3 cups of chicken broth to cover potatoes. Raise heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Use a potato masher, a fork, or wooden spoon to slightly mash the cooked potatoes.
Add cooked turkey, 1 teaspoon cumin, cayenne pepper, more salt if needed, and the remaining cup of chicken stock. Simmer another 3 minutes.
Top soup with a dollop of plain yogurt and chopped cilantro.

Changing transition & title length: Final Cut Pro X
I hope the solution to this is easy cuz it should be! (That word "should" comes up all the time!)
What's my problem? Well, adding a transition and titles is easy; super easy; however, when i want to change the length of the transition or the title, it ends up with some weird numbers. For example, I've now got it as 3 seconds as the default. So let's say I wanna extend it to 6 seconds. Okay, I click and select the transition or title; then I hit Control and D. Fine. Now I can type in the length that I want. So I type in 600 and it shows as 6 seconds; I hit the enter/return key. I give it time to save. I click on it, Control and D and... it's not 6 seconds! It might be something like 9 seconds or 4 seconds! Please tell me there's a simple solution and explanation! Thanks. Last edited by sunandsurf; Dec 6, 2012 at 04:44 AM. |

In a bit of a rush so I'll make this quick. I updated my app to 10.0.6. Not a key issue; why not? Cuz I found out that transitions and titles get "influenced" by stuff around it. By that, I mean if I have a clip that is deemed "too short", the length of a transition can be messed up.
I think it's a weakness of a program that a user can't do anything he/she wants to do but that's another subject. So, what's a guy to do but figure out some work around! Instead of using a fade to color transition, just use a custom generator; create two key points (start and ending) and set opacity at 100% or 0% to create a fade to black or fade from black. Also, I found that inserting a slug is a good way to create a one second black pause before something else happens. Anyway, that's just one way to do what I was trying to do.... ! |

So sorry to hear you are in a rush. So i make it fast. FCP-X is now 10.07.
After putting you title down or any other clips all you got to do is "TRIM" no need to play around. Could tell thee more but time factor. |

Dec 9, 2012, 11:05 AM | #8 |
Is it possible to use the "trim" function in version 10.0.6?
Thanks for the advice! |

Dec 9, 2012, 01:33 PM | #9 |
Well Sir. I would advice you when you have time to try the function out and see what happens.
I think any person working in this software should be comfortable with all the tools available. |

With new tech, Keene broadband project seen as a model for North Country
Keene, NY, May 26, 2009 — Workers in the town of Keene, in Essex County, are stringing new fiber cable that will bring high-speed internet access to hundreds of homes that had relied on much slower dial-up access. The project, funded in part with a state economic development grant, is seen as a model for bringing broadband access to rural North Country towns. As Brian Mann reports, the organizers hope that the project will open Keene to new kinds of economic activity.

MISSOULA - Three people are shaken up, but okay after a hit and run incident that happened in the early morning hours.
A female designated driver was driving two of her friends home last night around 2 a.m.
The group was traveling northbound on Russell Street when their vehicle was t-boned by an SUV traveling the wrong direction on 6th Street.
The vehicle was struck with enough force to deploy the passenger side airbags and one woman received stitches for a laceration to her head.
The Missoula Police Department is looking for a white or silver Nissan Pathfinder or Xterra SUV, which should have front end damage.
If you have any information on this incident you are asked to call the Missoula Police Department at 552-6300.

Interactive media
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009) |
Interactive media normally refers to products and services on digital computer-based systems which respond to the user's actions by presenting content such as text, graphics, animation, video, audio, games, etc.
Though the word media is plural, the term is often used as a singular noun.
Interactive media is related to the concepts interaction design, new media, interactivity, human computer interaction, cyberculture, digital culture, and includes specific cases such as, for example, interactive television, interactive narrative, interactive advertising, algorithmic art, videogames, social media, ambient intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality.
An essential feature of interactivity is that it is mutual: user and machine each take an active role (see interaction). Most interactive computing systems are for some human purpose and interact with humans in human contexts.[1] Manovich complains that 'In relation to computer-based media, the concept of interactivity is a tautology. .... Therefore, to call computer media "interactive" is meaningless – it simply means stating the most basic fact about computers.'.[2] Nevertheless the term is useful to denote an identifiable body of practices and technologies.
Interactive media are an instance of a computational method influenced by the sciences of cybernetics, autopoiesis and system theories, and challenging notions of reason and cognition, perception and memory, emotions and affection.
Any form of interface between the end user/audience and the medium may be considered interactive. Interactive media is not limited to electronic media or digital media. Board games, pop-up books, gamebooks, flip books and constellation wheels are all examples of printed interactive media. Books with a simple table of contents or index may be considered interactive due to the non-linear control mechanism in the medium, but are usually considered non-interactive since the majority of the user experience is non-interactive reading.[3]
