Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
Smart File Locking, document scan capability, HD video streaming, full iWorks compatibility, QR code support and more added to industry-leading business online file sharing collaboration service
Soonr, a leading provider of Secure Online File Sharing and Collaboration services for business, today announced several powerful new features for Soonr Workplace, including Smart File Locking, document scanning, Full-resolution video playback on iPad, iWorks Rendering Support, and the ability to generate and share business content embedded onto QR codes.
Soonr Workplace helps business customers gain a competitive advantage by increasing their mobile productivity and providing access to business content from any device, anywhere. Soonr Workplace balances the ease of use desired by end-users to access and work securely with business content alongside the administrative control and oversight required by IT.
"It's great to be back at Macworld this year to unveil the evolution of Soonr Workplace," said Martin Frid-Nielsen, founder and CEO of Soonr. "Soonr continues to improve the mobile business experience on Apple devices with innovative features like Smart File Locking that automatically locks your Microsoft office documents when changes are being made and subsequently unlocks the documents when they are closed. We now enable document scanning and secure access to business content through QR codes that help mobile workers accomplish tasks that used to require a trip to the office."
New features in Soonr Workplace
Smart File Locking: Microsoft Office files are automatically locked when a user begins editing files locally, preventing conflicting versions of a single file from being generated by other Team Members. Similarly documents are unlocked when the documents are closed from within Microsoft Office.
Document Scan: Soonr Workplace now enables high-quality document scanning. Upon activation, Soonr's document scanning leverages a mobile device's camera to capture the document image which is then automatically uploaded to the cloud where it can be stored as a multi-page PDF and shared with Team Members who have access to the project.
Full-resolution video playback on iPad: All iOS compatible video files, including HD formats, are progressively downloaded at their full native resolution from the Soonr service to an iOS device, allowing users to experience the full impact of video content without being required to wait for the entire file to download. Videos that have been "Favorited" are downloaded in full native resolution locally for offline viewing.
iWorks Rendering Support: The iOS version of the Soonr Workplace mobile app has been enhanced to enable rendering of the full iWorks suite, meaning users can fully display and work with iWorks Pages, Keynote and Numbers files on an iPad or iPhone.
QR Code Support: The Soonr Workplace mobile app now fully supports QR codes, by enabling any file or folder stored in Soonr Workplace to have an associated QR code. The QR codes generated by Soonr Workplace can be communicated electronically or placed in public areas, allowing anyone with a mobile device capable of reading QR codes to easily access content shared in Soonr.
Soonr will be demonstrating these new features during the Macworld/iWorld 2013 show in booth MacIT S7 at the Moscone Center West, San Francisco, California, January 31st- February 2nd.
Pricing, Support and Availability
These updates to the Soonr iOS mobile apps are now available for download on iTunes. Subscription to the Soonr Workplace service starts at $9.95 per month and is available through www.soonr.com or by contacting Soonr Sales at 1-855-377-8500.

Window decals of traditional barbershop poles signal the entrance to Kisner's Barber Salon, where licensed and certified hairstylists cut, color, and perm hair seven days a week. After sitting down for an initial consultation, men, women, and children can add new dimensions to their looks with a sleek cut and style. The salon's services don't stop at the scalp, however. Nourishing facials infuse skin with essential moisturizers and professional massages melt away stress with gentle strokes. Thankfully, none of that stress will come from being dissatisfied with one's haircut; clients may return within two days for an alteration or a confidence-boosting compliment, both free of charge.
When master stylist Christie Kramer decided to open a hair salon in 1998, her standards for the hair professionals she would to hire were high. Having trained in Europe and the US, she brought with her a wide perspective on hair care and selected her staff based on their specific talents. Today, the stylists at Christie & Co. are most known for their hair coloring skills, from multi-dimensional hues to rich reds and drastic color corrections. Clients can also opt for a full array of hair care services, including Japanese straightening, extensions, and Brazilian blowouts. On the spa side of things, an aesthetician creates soothing moments during facials, massages or nail care.
The staff at That Look Hair Gallery cuts, colors, and styles hair for men, women, and children, in addition to offering nail services and massage treatments. Behind their stations, stylists modify hair with golden highlights and skillful weaves or alter follicle texture with relaxers and perms. Nail technicians coddle hands and feet with regular or chip-resistant Shellac-polish manicures and pedicures. Elsewhere, massage therapists work to ease muscle tension in necks and backs caused by wearing steel-rimmed bowler hats, employing the relaxing kneads and soft pummels of Swedish massage.
Led by senior stylist and owner Liz Sarvinas, the expert team at Hair by Ell gives hair a fresh start with Paul Mitchell, It's a 10, and Joico products during haircuts and deep conditionings. After a stylist seats a client before his or her own personal, triangular haircutting station, the two work together to pick a fitting style, working through options such as ombre coloring, asymmetrical bangs, or a perfect cowlick. Once hair is shed of split ends and extra weight, clients can choose to add body with extensions or depth with highlights or a perm.
Lifetouch Inc. became the world's largest employee-owned photography company one portrait at a time.
Today, Lifetouch and its subsidiaries serve the photographic needs of people of all ages. Lifetouch truly is "memories for a lifetime."
When the rest of Erika's middle-school classmates filled the seats around her with trendy hairdos, Erika was still wearing elementary-era pigtails. Determined to transform her tresses, she tried her own hand at hairstyling and quickly found her niche. Soon, she was dispensing her talents on the heads of family and friends, which led to a job as a 14-year-old shampoo assistant—even Michael Jordan didn't go pro that fast. Today, she's a full-blown stylist with 16 years of experience. At Create the Beautiful, Erika spends her days taming clients' manes with keratin straightening treatments, face-flattering haircuts, and highlights that might match the bright-yellow walls of her salon. Erika also offers other spa services such as facials designed to make the skin appear youthful and rejuvenated with deep exfoliations, massage, extractions, and deep cleansing masks.

Crips Teapot: Me and Snoop Dogg
I was born in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. I was my mother's third child at the age of 21. My father had a middle school education and had been working on sugar cane fields in Puerto Rico since he was a child. Being raised in the 80's in Philadelphia I was exposed to prevalent drug use and gang activity. The crack epidemic left half of the houses in my neighborhood abandoned. This neighborhood gave very little hope for a future outside of that of my families history. My parents were the first generation of Puerto Ricans to raise their children in the United States in my family's history.
In an effort to seek the best job he could, my father would drive his bike from Kensington to Cherry Hill, New Jersey every morning. When I sit at a potter's wheel, I often think of my father's bike tire spinning, and this metaphor has always had me reach for more. If he could make that sacrifice for my future, it is up to me to make something of it. I didn't have any experience with art in high school but took up writing graffiti with my cousins on the streets of Philadelphia. I moved away from Philadelphia and many years later found myself in a community college taking art classes.
After my undergraduate studies, I realized how important it was to share my experiences through presentation as well. In 2011, I had opportunity to speak at the National Council of Education for the Ceramic Arts in Seattle, WA My lecture was entitled "Activism Through Ceramics". The following year at the NCECA Conference held in Houston, Texas I delivered another lecture titled "From the Wheel to the Wall", a presentation on how graffiti relates to ceramics.
Recently, I exhibited my work alongside photographer, Richard Ross. His powerful work has been a catalyst for changing legislation on how juveniles are incarcerated. This exhibition provides a framework for me to directly engage the community, one such event is a question and answer session with inner city youth, discussing my work as well as my path. This work is close to home as my brother is currently serving 5 years in prison for the sale of Narcotics.

This is how it goes: There's a party or social occasion to which I am invited. Food is involved. Because the party is thrown by my friends or family, beer or wine is also involved. People at party ask people to bring a dish to share. Kirstin goes to the party. Kirstin brings ______.
When invited to any occasion involving food (or even just alcohol, because what pairs swimingly with booze..?), I always bring cheese. And maybe something to slather on it, but mainly just a fermented milk star or three. I make sure that the selections I bring are glorious specimens of the dairy world (not hard in this well-rounded cheese age), but sometimes, I feel I should do more. Like me going to a party and unwrapping beautiful wedges of cheese and putting them on a platter for people to revel in their perfect simplicity isn't enough.
Most times I'm able to ignore that feeling. Therapy has helped. After all, I remind myself, we live in an age where we always feel like we should do more, but in reality the simple pleasures are often the most enlightening and enjoyable.
Despite the truths I've come to own via heavy cheese soul-searching, occasionally when I'm invited to someone's house for the third time in a row, I like to mix it up. I wouldn't want them to think that I don't know how to weld a knife or that I'm a one-trick cheese pony.
So sometimes I'll slice up and marinate cheese!
Marinated Manchego
This is my recipe for marinated manchego. It's inspired by a recipe of Spanish chef José Andres's in Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America in which he coats Idiazabal cheese with olive oil and herbs. Idiazabal is a Basque Spanish cheese. Though most Idiazabal that arrives in the U.S. is smoked, the majority in Spain hasn't been touched with wood. Because I like the idea of marinating an unsmoked cheese, I picked one of my favorite raw-milk small production manchegos. You can substitute any lovely sheep's milk cheese you'd like- just focus on finding a semi-firm, 4-8 month-old cheese. I like using one that hasn't been heavily pressed and whose paste might have a hole or two. Then the olive oil can sink into its grooves like melted butter does into a crumpet's. Also, this could be the easiest cheese recipe ever. Seriously. Six ingredients (substitute at will), five minutes to make, and an hour to marinate. Almost as easy as unwrapping cheese on a party platter if you've done that the last five times you've gone to a party.
Serves 2-4
5.5 ounces Manchego
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
freshly ground pepper
Remove the rind from the Manchego and slice the cheese into cubes. Don't worry about cutting perfect cubes- rusticity adds character. Place the cheese in a small bowl. Add the rosemary, garlic, olive oil, and a couple grinds of black pepper to the bowl and stir until the Manchego is well-coated with the oil and herbs. Let marinate for at least an hour or overnight. Serve at room temperature.

NICE!!! Congrats:) I LOVE Hal Higdon's plans, but there are so many out there to choose from ranging from 6 months down to about 8-10 weeks. I soooo remember the feeling of registering for my 1st half!
If all you get is all you give, then you should only give all you''ve got.
Thanks, Trish, and everyone!
I just registered for the Chicago Half Marathon in September. Eeep! I will spend this month reading The Runner's Handbook and thinking about various training options so I can hit the ground running come January!

Hi Sarah,
I read this thread, and thought back to making that decision myself. I decided to go for it, but ended up having to drop it because of an injury. There was not the fall-back plan that you have though. I think, that because you have the alternative coure on this, that you will train smarter, rather than trying to make your bod do things it may not be ready to do.
You will run a race at this event for sure, I hope that it will be the one that your body is ready for at that time. YOU DO HAVE a lot of time to get ready, so I think you will be there as long as your bod says it is good.
If all you get is all you give, then you should only give all you''ve got.
With the 5K option available that would be definitely a consideration. I am not sure about the Chicago 1/2 course, but I did the Chicago Marathon in 09 and RnR in Aug...and it is flat and fast, so that may be helpful, too when it comes to the 1/2. Best of luck with your decision.
Considering the start time rule and the option to drop to the 5k the morning of the race, I'd say go for it! You have plenty of time to train and if something with training doesn't go right then you can always run the 5k instead! Have fun!
"When there's something you want fight for it. Don't give up-no matter how hopeless it seems, even when you've lost hope, cause years from now you're gonna look back and wish you gave it one more shot cause the best things in life don't come easy."
"If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right" -Henry Ford
PEESALISA: You're right - they do start the clock on that pace when the last runner crosses the start.
Nancy, I was all for the RnR half in August and suggested it to my friends, but a few had already registered for the September half and it also has a 5K that some others are planning to do. Which allows for a decent fall back plan - someone registered for the half can run the 5K instead; that decision can be made the morning of the race.
I don't know if this race sells out quickly but it did sell out last year.
Thanks for everyone's comments!

Live the life of the person you want to become, and you will become that person.
Good luck! You may want to check to see when they "start" that time. In some races, they consider the last person crossing the start line the race pace. So, if you are somewhere in the middle when you begin your race, you should be fine:) But, if you are worried, I would look into another race, but I think you will do great as long as you keep your training up!
Good question...I look forward to answers from those in the know!!!
I signed up today for my first HM...I did not notice a pace limit. I guess I should of looked.
"It's not how old you are, it's how you are old."
"I am still learning." Michelangelo
I don't like to give my runners a tight time limit for their first endurance run. Is it feasible, yes, but what I would suggest is delay signing up (is this a race that sells out quickly???) and see how your training goes and go from there.
Chicago does have the RnR 1/2 Marathon in August with a little more generous finishing time of 4 hours.
Just a thought...
I just signed up today for my first HM that's in May after running 5K & two 8Ks.
I'm going to look at Hal Higdon's running programs.
GOOD LUCK to both of us!!!

I have a few 5Ks and 5 mile races under my belt and am ready for the next step. A bunch of friends are doing the Chicago Half Marathon in September and I'm anxious to do it. I really need a training goal like that to keep me active this winter and to focus on come spring.
I was all ready to sign up then I read on their web site that they require all participants to keep a 13 minute per mile pace; if you can't do that, you're SAG wagon bound. I do 13 m/m now in my 5Ks and 5 miles and am concerned about maintaining that for a half, even with nine months of training.
I'd hate hate hate for my first half marathon experience to include a SAG wagon, but I'm in real need of something like this to motivate me.
So, is this doable?

We have covered this issue before on Political Realities. Our government seems insistent on forcing the homosexual agenda down our throats at a rapid pace. We have seen this happen, time after time. Homosexual couples want to get married. They then proceed to accost Christian business owners, attempting to force them to participate in their perverted version of marriage, providing services to a wedding they can not agree with, in good conscience. We are told that this is not really happening, but OK Politechs has a list of several times this has happened. We can now add one more instance of Christian business owners being sued, fined, and otherwise punished for acting on their beliefs. It comes to us from New York.

I have been to about 20-25 soccer matches on foreign soil, plus a month at the 1982 world cup in Spain. I rarely saw English fans starting trouble or going out of their way to get involved in trouble. When you are in a foreign country and organized gangs and the local police insight trouble, you simply have to stick together and stand your ground.
The Brits are not well liked across Europe, and we generally have a huge target on our backs. Anyone that knows many Brits will already be aware they are generally no-nonsense folk that tenaciously stick up for themselves.
Maybe you should read this report from a previous encounter in Rome:
Three Middlesbrough fans were stabbed ahead of the club's Uefa Cup clash against AS Roma in the Italian capital.
Cleveland Police said the attack came from an "organised gang of Italian thugs" who targeted two bars where the English fans were drinking.

3 months have flown by, and our little chunker keeps getting bigger and bigger! His personality is slowly starting to come out and we all love it. He is suuuper smiley and talkative. I think he might end up being a designer, he looooves to stare at all kinds of patterns, I know that's a baby thing to do but the way he looks at pillows and blankets is quite intense it's almost as if he is analyzing the prints. We have this colorful knitted blanket that he adores! He can stare at this blanket for hours! In fact if he starts getting fuzzy all I have to do it drape the blanket in front of him and he immediately calms down (needless to say it's my new favorite favorite blanket).
Still not even close to sleeping thru the night, he wakes up about twice a night but overall he is a wonderful baby, really easy going an rarely cries, usually only when I forget to feed him ;)
We are busy with Zoe and he just goes with us everywhere up and down all around town, in and out of the carseat and he just goes with it. Thank goodness! I have no idea how we would do it if he was a fussy baby. I was hoping by now we would have his nursery set and ready to give it a go, but the house is delayed yet again, so we'll have to wait to make the big transition to his own room. Zoe slept with us until she was 8 months! and she started sleeping better once she was alone in her own room, so we are planing on doing it a little bit earlier with him.
Leo also adores his older sister, he follows her with his head around the room and smiles at basically whatever comes out of her mouth, she also loves to cover him in toys, blankets, books etc.. you would think that's annoying for him, but he enjoys it very much. Sometimes Zoe 'plays' tea time with him and puts a little plastic spoon in his hand while they both laugh... it's the cutest.
At first I wanted another girl but now I'm so grateful Leo was a boy things are gonna be soo much fun when they grow up. I couldn't ask for anything else, when I look at both of my babies I get so happy I feel like I'm gonna explode.

4 walls and a bedPosted Aug 4, 2014
Pros: Convenient location.
Cons: Check-in process. Location of smoking rooms.
I am very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The location is convenient for the area, however, it took an obnoxiously long time to check-in (we waited 20 minutes for the family in front of us to check in) and the check-in process is extremely outdated. Thankfully, I just had 1 room but the front desk agent wanted to photocopy the IDs of every person staying in each room. What?!?! I have never experienced this before and I have stayed at a variety of hotels across the country. Her excuse for the delay in wait was that they were sold-out and that she was crazy busy with 5 check-ins for the evening. You heard me right, a whopping FIVE check-ins! For being sold-out, I thought it was poor planning to only have 1 agent working. On Saturday of our stay, we left our non-smoking room at about 1pm. We returned around 10pm and our room REEKED of cigarette smoke. Nothing had been moved and I had the "do not disturb" sign up so I am *assuming* that no one entered our room. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they placed us right in between two smoking rooms. I didn't say anything about it that night because I was tired and just wanted to go to bed but it was pretty gross. There isn't a huge selection of hotels to choose from in this area but I definitely will not be returning to this one!

Racheal - We appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention. The slow check–in you described is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for your experience. We met with our front desk staff to ensure that this is not repeated. It is required by city ordinance that we copy ID's, we apologize for the inconvenience. We will also have our staff look into the smoke odor in your non-smoking room. We are grateful for your feedback because it allows us to make improvements to our hotel. We hope we have the opportunity to see you again in the future.

Good affordable hotelPosted Jun 30, 2014
Pros: They are pet friendly! Other than the sign on the the door next to our room, I would never have know that a pet was there.
Location: Very conveniently located. Just 15 minutes from downtown St. Louis and right off the interstate.
Excellent hotel for the price. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. If on a budget, I highly recommend this hotel.

Basic Hotel-No FrillsPosted May 29, 2014
Pros: Pet friendly!!
Cons: Exercise room and do not have smoking and non-smoking rooms on the same floor.
Location: This hotel is close to the interstate, the shopping mall, a grocery store, Target and all kinds of restaurants. Great location!!
The hotel is clean and the staff is very pleasant and accommodating. There is no exercise room or agreement with any local gyms (and Gold's Gym is less than half-mile away). Be advised that there are smoking room on the third floor; which you would not know from booking a room. I have asthma and booked a non-smoking room. When I checked in, my room was on the 3rd floor. As soon as I got off the elevator, the odor of cigarette smoke was so strong that it permeated my room. I dropped off my suitcase and went down to the reception desk to report the issue. I was told that there are smoking rooms on the 3rd floor only; and I was in the non-smoking corridor of the floor. Well, there is only one hall and the smoke just waifs down the hall. I asked if I could move to another floor; but they were supposedly booked. The receptionist said that she would spray the hall and I could turn on the bathroom light (which would turn on the exhaust). I did as instructed, opened the windows and it did help a little. I left the hotel for the rest of the day and only stayed in the room at night (to avoid the smell). If I had been placed on the first or second floor this problem would have been avoided.

Candice - Thank you for the feedback about your stay at our hotel. We strive to provide guests with all the comforts of home, so I am disappointed to hear that we failed at that mission. At this time our third floor is split, half smoking and half non-smoking. Unfortunately, since our hotel was at maximum occupancy, we were unable to move your room; however, we would have if we could. Thanks to your feedback, we can continue to work on providing an exceptional stay for all of our guests. It would be a pleasure to have you stay with us again in the future.

very friendly staffPosted Mar 31, 2014
I believe when we checked in the girl at the desk's name was Autumn. We had driven from Brookfield, Illinois and had stopped at a Wendy's 2 hours into our trip and I left my purse at that Wendy's. Autumn, was the most kindest concerned person and she got on that computer and searched for Wendy's locations for us because we didn't know the town we were in when we stopped. I believe she spent the better part of a half hour helping me track down phone numbers and was just the kindest person ever!!!

Ringling roundabouts take shape
Date: June 9, 2011
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Construction on two Ringling Boulevard roundabouts will have to occur during tourist season if the city wants to avoid completely paying for them itself.
State funding is directly tied to the timeframe in which the roundabouts are constructed.
The city will be ready in two weeks to accept contractor bids for the roundabout at Palm Avenue.
To receive Florida Department of Transportation funding for that project, work needs to begin this summer.
It's estimated it will cost $727,720 to build that roundabout.
The Pineapple Avenue roundabout will be ready to go to bid next month. Its estimated cost is $621,078.
City staff is now angling to do both projects simultaneously and is trying to get citizen support for that.
"Doing them together (could) minimize impact," said Neil Gaines, the city's manager of capital-improvement projects.
Although both projects will have separate bidders, Gaines hopes the same contractor will be the low bidder on both to simplify the construction process.
Because of the FDOT requirement that the Palm Avenue roundabout funds be spent immediately, the six-month construction process will bleed into tourist season.
However, Gaines believes the impact will not be as great as some residents fear, because one lane of traffic on Ringling Boulevard will remain open, except for an occasional transition day.
"The fire department requires one lane open for access to the high-rise condos with ladder trucks," he said.
The projects will turn Ringling Boulevard into a two-lane road from Orange Avenue to Gulfstream Boulevard. It's currently four lanes in that section.
The center of each roundabout will be landscaped with Florida-friendly plants and trees and so will the medians leading into the roundabouts.
The city presented the projects to the Downtown Sarasota Alliance last week to get its support for simultaneous construction.
"As long as residents have the opportunity to move up and down Main Street, we might as well bite the bullet," said Mary Anne Servian, DSA vice chairwoman.
The DSA board gave its consent and had some high praise for the projects.
Said Forrest Shaw, DSA board member: "I think these are fantastic changes and are a welcome change to Ringling."

The new occupants are a former Cabinet member who resigned his post this week... and another who was fired by the Prime Minister from the Cabinet last week.
They both attended the Lower House's debate on a new Finance bill... but only one of them spoke with the media.

Apparently not the whole fanbase since I am still watching. Also it seems like the fanbase is a revolving door seeing that we have new fans enjoying the show.
If you want to be like that then look at Jotho. It was basically the same thing as Kanto minus Contests, a forgotten subplot (looking at your GS Ball) and a character that did nothing but hold a baby pokemon in her arms. At the end of the day the anime is only an adaptation of the video games and he only difference in the sagas are how good the writers adopt them. Kanto and Johto had the worse records when it came to adapting the content from the games.
The anime did a much better job in incorporating Team Galactic into the anime then they ever have with Team Rocket, Aqua and Magma (too early to say Plasma but so far not looking good based on what we seen). The only thing that makes each anime arc (and games) different from each other is the villains that they showcase and their overall plans. Team Plasma was built up as the villains in a good pace where they were preparing their things up in the background as Ash and Co. did their thing. Each episode they appeared in we saw more build up to their overall goal.
You do realize that May and Dawn were both new characters and thus we have to see them grow a bit? So them feeling down after a defeat is a good time to show character. If anything I be more concern if Dawn was a 'Mary Sue' if she didn't feel sad and discourage after losing her third contest in a row. May....Had a lot of BS wins that I glad weren't pulled over into Dawn as much.
I am keeping up with the current BW storyline. To tell the truth I am happy they are back to their antics because at least they are not acting like robots anymore. Also what 'stupidity' and 'antics' are you talking about? They haven't done a crazy boss fantasy at all since going back to 'White' (stupidity) and their robbing is pretty much a shadow to what they were before (antics). The only difference is that they have a bit more serious tech and annoying jet packs. It would have been better if they wrote the Rocket Trio as the mains they have been developed to be then some two second side characters. Just wish they ditch the jet packs and actually get 'hit' and focus away from Team Rocket so we can see Team Plasma.

Blood and Thunder is based on any general rubbish I can think of and want to make a comic out of it (WoW related of course). Created in the SteamWheedle Cartel server and accompanied with the crew of PCG, fellow PCG magazine readers, we have a laugh and fight a lot. And remember. Kill the allies where you see them!
I'm now confident that comics will be released around sunday. I'll maybe throw in another one during the week if I get chance to break away from my crippling WoW addiction and work.

Kit lens

In Reply to: Which lens is best for me? 35mm f2 or 50mm 1.4 by tepatroni
Have you considered buying the 7D with the standard kit lens? While it won't have the ability to isolate a subject like a wide aperture lens, the slower kit lens gives you a lot of framing possibilities, plus with the high ISO range of the 7D, you have a lot more flexibility than a film camera.

If you do not like the Story you're living...It's time to sit down with the Author and have a "Heart to Heart" Chat. Who's the Author of Your Story...YOU! That should be Great news for all of us to hear, because if we're the Authors of our own story, Then we can change it to read any way we want it to.
One of my favorite Peanut's Cartoon Clips is when Charlie Brown is complaining to Linus about how his lunch is the same everyday, and he hates it. Then Linus asks him..."Who makes your lunch?' Charlie Brown answers..."I Do" . It seems so ridiculously obvious to us that Charlie Brown is in complete control of what he puts in his lunch, he could enjoy something different everyday if he really wanted to change.
But, What about each one of us? Aren't we the ones in control of our own Story? We've all heard the definition of Insanity, which is: "Continuing to do the same thing over and over, and expecting different results" I don't know about you, but I want different results... I Want To Change My Story!
The first step is to begin with the end in mind. In Steven Covey's Ground Breaking best selling book, The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, Habit #2 is: Begin With The End In Mind. Essentially, Dr. Covey says that we will never create the reality of the life we want to live, until we first create it in our mind.
We must be able to visualize the life we want to live. Think about where you want to live, what will your income level be, how will you impact your community, how will your influence impact your children, what will you do vocationally, what kind of marriage do you want, and what will your legacy be? Changing your Story will probably not begin with Chapter 1. When you Change Your Story, it doesn't mean that you erase everything from your past and start over, it's more of a pivoting point in your life when you decide it's time to live the life you were born to live.
Every good Story reaches a point when everything changes. Once we can see the life we want to live, we need to understand what needs to happen for our vision to become a reality. We need to ask ourselves some more questions: What kind of husband do I need to be in order to have the kind of marriage I want? What activities can I do with my kids to make sure I am having a positive impact on their lives? How will I get into the career field that fits my personality, skills, and my passion? and what needs to change in my finances to be free to live the life I truly desire?
Asking these questions will put us on a path towards Changing Our Story.
Stories never change without Action! I have spent more than enough time envisioning the life I want to live, I have even devoted countless hours asking and answering the questions we just talked about, but I often find myself paralyzed when it's time to take Action. Dreaming, Thinking, and Planning are all very necessary components to Changing Your Story, but they don't mean much until you do something.
The approach that has finally been working for me is: Small Action Steps Are Better Than No Action Steps. In other words, start small. Pick one small thing that you can do in each of the major roles in your life...and Take Action!!! If you start today with a few simple action items you will begin to pickup momentum and feel more inspired to Change Your Story.
Today is the Best day to start to Change Your Story, and begin being more Intentional about Your Legacy.

Congratulations on your progress, it's amazing how taking action, no matter how small at first, energizes and motivates us to continue and begins the process of building momentum!
Thanks for sharing my friend! BTW, you are right on about this Amazing 48Days Community!!!
Spot on Randell, This all hit home to me. I use to think that I wanted to change but wouldn't move my feet. I started with baby steps and am now being very intentional and accomplishing much.
Love what Dan said in a podcast when he asked a listener, "What is your life saying to the world?" I have paid much more attention to this lately.
Thanks for your inspiration. The 48 Days community is one of the greatest groups I have ever known.
Ann, Peter, Rich, and Karen - Wonderful insights from all of you. It's Amazing the Impact our Stories have on those around us..."When We Change Our Story, We Change Our World"
Thanks so much for your comments,
Great post, Randell! I love stories -- listening to them - -telling them. How about that -- we are the writer, director and star of our stories -- the stories of our lives. Change our lives, change our story. I like your suggestion to start with the 'end in mind'.....and after taking the first small step momentum begins-- thank you! Karen
Randell, thanks for sharing this encouraging post. I'm always amazed at the power we all have to change our own story, and saddened by the fact that few realize it and take action.
Fail Forward Fast - Miami Dolphins Head Coach Cam Cameron
Awesome post, Randell! I, too, can allow myself to become paralyzed in the planning/visualizing stages - but taking those baby steps - no matter how small - as long as they move you toward your goal are more effective than we realize. You really did a great job logically and clearly setting forth the steps in a very practical way.

Weak Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor are a large sheet of muscles between your pubic bone and your tailbone, and these muscles help keep in place your bladder, vagina, uterus and bowel. These muscles can become stretched or weakened due to ageing and more specifically due to pregnancy. Once the pelvic muscles become weak they can sag and even lead to a prolapsed vagina. Also, these muscles give you control over your bladder and bowel movements, so their weakening can lead to some uncomfortable moments. There are a number of pelvic floor muscle exercises such as squeezes and contractions that can help you tighten the muscles and restore your bladder control.
The simplest exercise involves stopping the flow of urine when you are going for a wee. If you repeat this exercise 10-15 times in a row, you can gradually increase the length of your holds, and also the number of times you repeat it. For full instructions on pelvic floor exercises click here >>
In our Pelvic Floor programme first broadcast on the 15th April 2009 there were three products tested to help strengthen pelvic floor muscles. The products tested included a Pelvic Toner, a Pelvic Floor Exerciser and Pelvic Cones.

Help I have had a weak pelvic floor for the last 7 yes but its running my life I never leave the house I'm really fed up I always need a wee
I'm a 30 year old mother of 6 children all vaginal deliveries I've had my muscles tested and they are very week barely working I'm just wanting to know what's the best option to tone them up quickly as I'm very busy I've been trying to do exercises but find them quite difficult as I don't feel much when doing them
hi i too have had 6 kids all vaginal birth plus larger babies.I have been using kegal toner for a long time plus doing kegal excersizes daily while doing chores etc.You will find that the more you do them the more they work,try weighted toners they help too.I still feel as i was before children-if not better.If you need advice feel free to contact me :-)
I can feel my muscles getting less good as I get older now im doing exercises but theres no way I ll get them back to how they were
hi sure you can,vaginal muscles are like any other muscle-the more you excersize it,the better it becomes
I have a similar issue. At first it scared the tar out of me and my husband. The first 40 to 45 years old. I did not have an orgasmic feeling at the moment of the leaking but overall throughout the sexual play I found that to be highly charged and was left feeling as if I had an extreme orgasm. But no doubt it was very shocking. Over the next year or two it continued to happened but soon therafter quit and rarely do I achieve this strong of an orgasm at all. I did not find it smelly later on in the sheets tho but I agree with the sweet smell during and clear coloted. Definately not urine. I asked a nurse at my doctor office about it because it was tripping me out while it did take place, especcially how much liquid came out and she assured me that this amount can go as high as a quart or more depending upon the woman. But for me not to worry because it is a natural thing for a womans body to do. Expel juices built up during sex. In fact not expelling is more unnatural and shows signs of a woman with sexuality issues to a degree unknown. Not enough time and study been devoted to women and our physical sexual issues of any type. I think your just fine. Since this happens during sex. Good luck and try to enjoy.
hi I am a 30 year old mum of three since I had my middle child who is now 10 I've had to change my underwear at least 5 times a day due to being constantly losing urine its worse during the night I have to change my underwear at least twice as I wake up soaked. I try to do pelvic floor exercises but they really hurt and my insides ache has I do them please I need some advice its embarrassing I start university soon and I am really concise about it.
I am 36 years old and have 3 kids, all delivered vaginally. I have noticed a lack of sensation during sex that was never a problem before. I use an electronic pelvic floor exerciser. Could that be the culprit? What can I do to get the sensation I once had back?
I have a bladder and bowel prolapse but just recently I can swe my uretha opening is this right
Hi i am 42 and have 5 children for many years now I wee my self though coughing,bending down,and if I don't get 2 toilet in time will just come out even when I have been toilet I can cough and still wee also if I don't go for a number 2 straight away when needed will also soil my self I have been doctors and do exercises they said I have okay muscles please help fed up with it all now :'(
I am a mother of two. After having two births, first vaginal and second was a section, my pelvic floor is weak and I suffer from stress incontinence. I'm in a new relationship and intercourse doesn't have the same sensation either and my partner has to work hard to reach an orgasim and is not fully satisfied as I am. I've been to my GP and have been referred to physio. I have been given the usual excersies to do but I'm not convinced it will solve my problem. Is there anything else that can be done to tighten muscles so I can enjoy my sex life before it ruins my relatioship?
Hi there I am a 28 year old male and suffer with needing a wee very often, particularly in situation where I cannot go ie meetings/ car journeys etc, it's been 3 years now and I am planning my life around toilet stops, do you have any advice please?

New Feeling by Talking Heads
Percussionist Steve Scales joined Talking Heads in 1980. He also recorded with the Psychedelic Furs, Tom Tom Club and Yoko Ono and toured with Tina Turner and Bryan Ferry. Now the rock star has taken on a new role, reports Community College Times. He's studying human services at Housatonic Community College (HCC) in Connecticut.
"Going from a full-time rock star to a student is kind of humbling," Scales said.
Scales hopes to become a counselor. Eventually, he plans to earn a bachelor's and master's degree.
As a Vietnam-era veteran, he hopes to help other veterans. "If I could get a degree in counseling, they would talk to me because I could relate to them," he said.
Once the "king of clubbing," Scales now plans his social life around his class schedule. He can't go out and party with an 8 a.m. class the next day.
Adjusting to school hasn't been easy. "It' been a lot of years since I was last in school," Scales said.
Algebra was a challenge, but he turnedfor help to HCC's tutoring services. It's finally started to "click."

Ok seriously, just look at that image above. Does "The Odd Life Of Timothy Green" not seem like the most punchable movie of 2012? Well, if you need more convincing here's the brand new trailer for the movie, and warning: if you're a diabetic, this may send your blood/sugar levels through the roof.
Starring Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton (dude, you can do so much better than this) the Disney movie follows a couple, who after being unable to conceive a child, bury their wishes in the backyard only for some kid to grow out of the ground, come into their lives, and change them forever. You know, this is one of those movies where a kid manages to make dying people laugh, endear himself to adults and bring a little magic into the world, and we just threw up in our mouth a little bit. This seems like an unrelenting quirk fest of the highest order. Peter Hedges ("Dan In Real Life," "Pieces Of April") directs the movie with no fear of primary colors, while talented people like Rosemarie DeWitt, Dianne Wiest, Ron Livingston and uh, Common, round out the cast and cash some paychecks.
This drivel opens on August 15th. Watch below if you dare.

What a snark fest! Hello, it is a DISNEY movie. It is a fantasy family story. Of COURSE it is going to be positive and uplifting. So what? Don't go. The rest of us are going to watch it first before we make a judgement. Please stop inflicting your unhappiness on the rest of us.
Gary | May 13, 2012 4:07 PM
So, what great movie masterpieces have all you 'superior' geniuses turned out lately? What? You don't make movies? Sounds like you really have no room to talk, then. But I'm sure you'll continue with your putdowns, because that's what you do. Pretty sad. "Let's all sit around and rip this movie apart, then we can feel like hip movie critics!"
Thought I'd check out the site. Won't be back.

Joel, what are you doing in this film? Strange to see him in this and Jennifer is too damn perky.

Worst remake ever? "Little Otik" deserved better from Hollywood.
Ugh | May 10, 2012 1:18 PM
There's a great potential horror movie in this stupid looking film. A married couple, depressed because of their incapability to have children or adopt any (what will the movies excuse for that one? they're too financially secure? or they couldn't find any white kids in the orphanage?) go INSANE and imagine they have a child. Their terrifying behavior of dragging their non-kid to school socials & church events makes them & their town a pariah. THAT I'd watch.
Also, $50 bucks says the kid dies when winter comes. Hankies are wept into & Jennifer Garner is magically preggers next Spring & they decide to name their new Brood "Timothy".

Equestrian statue of Jhalkaribai in Gwalior
November 22, 1830
Bhojla Village, near Jhansi
|See note.[2]
|Indian Rebellion of 1857
Jhalkaribai (November 22, 1830 – 1858)[2] (Hindi: झलकारीबाई [dʒʱəlkaːriːˈbaːi]) was an Indian woman soldier who played an important role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 during the battle of Jhansi. She was a soldier in the women's army of Queen Laxmibai of Jhansi. Born into a poor Koli/Kori family, she started her career as an ordinary soldier in Laxmibai's female army, but rose to a position of advising the queen and participating in vital decisions.[3] During the rebellion, at the height of the battle of fort of Jhansi, she disguised herself as the queen and fought on the front to let the queen escape safely out of the fort.[3][4]
The legend of Jhalkaribai remains in the popular memory of Bundelkhand over centuries. Her life and especially the incident of her fighting with the East India Company army on the front in disguise, continues to be sung in various Bundeli folklores. Her bravery along with her identity as a Dalit has helped to create a sense of pride and cultural unity in Dalits in North India.[5] She was afterwards hanged to death by the British.
Recently the name of Jhalkaribai, along with others, has played a crucial role in the political landscape of North India, especially of Uttar Pradesh. Taking advantage of her popular image, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the leading Dalit-based party in India, projected Jhalkaribai as one of the symbols of Dalit pride and honour. Efforts were taken in research and find facts about her life and propagating them to the masses. Emphasis was given to portraying her as a historical heroine of the bahujans (i.e. masses).
|This section may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. (November 2013)
Jhalkaribai was a daughter of a Koli/Kori farmer, Sadoba Singh, and his wife Jamuna Devi. She was born on November 22, 1830 in Bhojla village near Jhansi.[1] After the death of her mother when she was very young, her father raised her like a boy. She was trained in horse-riding and using weapons. Consistent with the social conditions of those days, she could not have a formal education, but soon became well-trained as a warrior. She gained notoriety in her region when she killed a leopard in the forest with a stick she used to herd cattle.[6]
Jhalkaribai bore an uncanny resemblance to Rani (queen) Laxmibai.[7] She married an artilleryman, Puran Singh, from the artillery unit of Rani Laxmibai. Jhalkaribai was introduced to the queen by Puran Singh. She joined women's army, headed by Rani Laxmibai. After joining the army, she gained further expertise in all aspects of warfare.[3]
During the Rebellion of 1857, General Hugh Rose besieged Jhansi with a large army on 23 March 1858 The queen valiantly faced the army with 4000 of her troops locked in her fort. It was fight with guns which went on from 23 March to 4 April for 10 days which is tribute to planning and valour of Rani and her men no where the war was fought with such intensity, she was waiting relief from peshwa's army camping at Kalpi but it was not to be because Tatya Tope came and went defeated at hands of Rose meanwhile one Dulha ju a muskateer and incharge of Orcha Gate made Pact with English and surrendered his gate and opened doors of Jhansi for English Army. The English Army rushed through and amidst this mayhem Rani on advice of her Courtier escaped through Bhanderi Gate with heavy fighting and casualties which is tribute to her soldiers Rani herself was fighting sword in her hand and Damodar on her Back. Here as a subplot Jhalkari Bai chivalrous deed appeared She was in Unab Gate with her husband Puran, On hearing escape oF Rani she thought on a plan to Confuse Gen Rose . Jhalkaribai set out for General Rose's camp in disguise as the queen and declared herself to be the queen Laxmibai. This led to a confusion that continued for a day and she was released only after it was revealed that she was not the queen but a common soldier.[4]
The above facts are as per BL Verma who wrote his Novel in 1946 and who talked to grandson of Jhulkari Bai and aslso to Damodar Rao adopted son of Luxmi Bai . Verma born in 1890 was grand son of a courtier of Rani and used to live in Jhansi as an advocate . His novel is not Novel but well researched history giving all names who contributed significantly on side of RANI. Jhulkari is only one of them and he should be believed .As per him she was released by General Rose and thereafter lived until 1890.
Very few references are found about Jhalkaribai in the contemporary records. The diary of General Hugh Rose, who was the general of the company army, and commissioner's gazetteer has no mention of Jhalkaribai. However, Vishnubhat Godse, a contemporary Marathi traveller who travelled in North India during the rebellion and was the court priest of Jhansi during this period mentioned her in his travelogue, though he mentioned her as a maid.[8]
One could find no references of Jhalkaribai or her bravery in early historiography. In pre-independence India, British historiographers like Kaye and Malleson or Thompson and Garratt made no mention of Jhalkaribai. Even the Indian authors ignored her feat. Savarkar neglected her in his The Indian War of Independence and Nehru did not mention her in his Discovery of India.[9] Majumdar, Raychaudhuri, and Datta did not specify the deed of Jhalkaribai though they noted that the queen Laxmibai escaped out of the Jhansi fort on the night of April 4, 1858 and left for Kalpi as Sir Hugh Rose "stormed" in Jhansi on April 3.[10]
The name of Jhalkaribai appeared in the printed history after the Independence of India in 1947. First reference of her story in this period is found in a novel Jhansi ki Rani written in 1951 by B.L. Varma, who created a subplot in his novel about Jhalkaribai for which he interviewed Jhalkaribai's grandson.[8] He addressed Jhalkaribai as Korin and an ordinary soldier in Laxmibai's army. Another novel where we can find mention of Jhalkaribai was written in the same year by Ram Chandra Heran in his Bundeli novel Maati. Heran depicted her as "chivalrous and a valiant martyr".[8] The first biography of Jhalkaribai was written in 1964 by Bhawani Shankar Visharad, a Dalit intellectual, with the help of Varma's novel and his research from the oral narratives of the lower caste people living in the vicinity of Jhansi.[8]
As a result of Bahujan Samaj Party's policy of social mobilization, several booklets, dramas, and songs have been composed by Dalit activists, politicians, and writers narrating the story of Jhalkaribai. Efforts have been made to rewrite the history and place Jhalkaribai at an equal footing of Laxmibai.[8] Since the 1990s, the story of Jhalkaribai has acquired a political dimension and her image is being reconstructed with the demands of social situation.[11]
The image of Jhalkaribai has risen to a significant place in North India in the recent years. The socio-political importance of the story of Jhalkaribai to create social awareness and a sense of pride in the Dalits has been successfully recognized and used by political parties like Bahujan Samaj Party. The death anniversary of Jhalkaribai is celebrated as Shahid Diwas (Martyr Day) by various Dalit organizations every year.[12]
The story of Jhalkaribai is utilized not only by the Dalits. The movement to create a separate Bundelkhand state has also use the legend of Jhalkaribai to create the Bundeli identity.[11] The Government of India's Post and Telegraph department has also issued a postal stamp depicting Jhalkaribai.[7]
The Archaeological Survey of India is setting up a grand museum at Panch Mahal, a five storey building located inside the Jhansi Fort in remembrance of Jhalkaribai. The ASI, which comes under the Union Culture Ministry, proposes to display sculptures and architectural heritage at the museum to highlight the history, archaeology of the area and life history of Jhalkari Bai and her queen Rani Lakshmibai.[13]
