Trick Yourself Into Getting Fit in 2013
January 9, 2013 at 11:38 am , by Amelia Harnish
'Tis the season for New Year's Resolutions, which means all over the country people are renewing their vows to get fit and lose that weight. Are you working on your own health goal? We figured you might be.
It's a sad truth that most women who resolve to get their butts in gear in January are back to their old habits by springtime. That's why we asked Carla Birnberg, the personal trainer behind MizFitOnline.com and a member of our brand new blogger network, to give us some novel tips for sticking with it.
Do less than you think you can do.
Yes, you read that right. Do less. It's not helpful to push yourself as hard as you can when you're first getting started, Birnberg says. That's just going to lead to burnout. Instead, jog fewer miles at a slower pace than you think you can do, or better yet, start by simply going for an evening walk and build from there.
Play instead of work.
Instead of thinking about exercise as another chore, turn your workouts into a game. One of Birnberg's favorite things is playing hopscotch with her daughter. The hopping around works your balance, core strength and it gets your heart pumping. It's fun, calorie-torching perfection, she says. (That's Birnberg above during one of her recent "playouts" with her daughter.)
Break your big goal into smaller goals.
So you want to lose 20 pounds? That takes a long-term commitment, which can easily wane when you don't see any payoff right away. Instead, try breaking it down into a bunch of smaller goals. For example: "This week I'll go for a jog three times," or even, "Today, I will eat five servings of vegetables." Not only does this way give you more chances to succeed and gain confidence, it also forces you to recommit to your big goal every day.

Why New Year's Resolutions Fail: Q&A with Daniel Akst
February 2, 2011 at 11:57 am , by Lorraine Glennon
Now that the first month of 2011 has trudged to a chilly close, it's a good time to review those New Year's resolutions that so many of us made with utmost sincerity and determination a scant four weeks ago. How did they manage to evaporate so quickly? I recently sat down to discuss this problem with my old friend Daniel Akst, whose new book We Have Met the Enemy: Self Control in an Age of Excess (Penguin Press), examines what he calls "the democratization of temptation" and why we have so much trouble resisting it.
LG: In We Have Met the Enemy, you say that the extraordinary abundance we enjoy today comes with a price—the need to self-regulate, since society is no longer doing it for us. Why is self-control so hard these days?
DA: In truth, self-control has always been hard, because we're torn between short-term rewards, which exert the most power, and the much more abstract—yet ultimately greater—long-term rewards we can achieve if we can manage to keep our impulses in check.
LG: Still, in your book you look back in history and argue that self-control is exponentially harder now and the stakes are higher.
DA: Yes, that's true. And that's because, while human nature hasn't changed, the landscape of temptation has. Not that long ago, all you had to spend in a store was the money in your pocket, and the store was probably closed on Sundays. Today, giant emporia are open 24/7, and in addition to the money in your pocket you have several pieces of plastic that enable you to get thousands of dollars in instant credit from banks you've never even visited. Similarly, a hankering for fried chicken once meant catching and killing a live chicken and then plucking and cooking it. Now, all it takes is a trip to the nearest KFC. And there's no shortage of those: The number of fast-food outlets per capita grew more than fivefold from 1970 to 2004. Or look at gambling. In 1970 casinos were legal only in Nevada, and New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York were the only states with lotteries. Today every state but Utah and Hawaii has legalized casinos or lotteries or both. And the Internet entices gamblers at all hours with offshore "virtual" casinos.
Then, to complicate matters, our views about indulgence have also changed. Once upon a time you were supposed to defer gratification until you were dead, when you would be rewarded in the afterlife. That started to seem too long a wait for most of us, and over time our attitudes toward consumption, borrowing and fulfillment shifted. Read more

Old Dominion and Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) recently announced the formalization of an academic agreement that will enable students to gain academic credit through completion of programs at the Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School.
This credit can be applied toward a bachelor's degree from Old Dominion's College of Engineering and Technology, Darden College of Education or College of Business and Public Administration.
"I'm especially pleased that we have updated and expanded our transfer of credit agreement with Old Dominion. It is an excellent institution that is well-attuned to the needs of working adults and has been the choice for continuing education of many Apprentice School graduates over the years. With their expanded offerings on the Peninsula in recent years, they have become an even more accessible option for many of our people," said James Wallace, director of education and training for Newport News Shipbuilding.
Since the late 1980s, Old Dominion and the NNS Apprentice School have had an informal agreement that enabled apprentice students to earn a bachelor's degree in engineering technology. The formalized agreement has expanded to include degrees in areas such as business management and occupational and technical studies.
"We are eager to help employees translate their hard-earned skills into college credits. By completing a degree, they can advance professionally and be of greater assistance to Newport News Shipbuilding," said Provost Jo Ann Gora. Apprentice School students may take classes at the university's Peninsula Center in Hampton, as well as the main campus and other satellite sites.
The Apprentice School offers apprenticeships in 16 shipbuilding-related trades, five design disciplines and production planning. Students completing the Apprentice School's required and optional curricula can now earn up to 55 semester hours of transfer credit at Old Dominion.

KENNEWICK, Wash.-- A car chase early Saturday morning led to the arrest of a recent Finley robbery suspect.
Just after 4am Saturday morning, Kennewick Police and Benton County Sheriff's deputies were searching the 4200 block of West Metaline after a burglary when they spotted a stolen vehicle and recognized one of the two passengers as the Finley store suspect.
Law enforcement then followed the vehicle in a high speed chase that ended on West Canal Drive in Kennewick.
"The pursuit was initiated based upon the information the officers had at that time that a burglary had just occurred. The vehicle was pursued through parts of Kennewick," says Corporal Glenn Ball from the Kennewick Police Department.
The chase ended when the driver lost control and struck a building on West Canal Drive.
The robbery suspect is a minor and was booked into the Benton County Juvenile Justice Center. The other passenger Robert Paxton, age 22, was also arrested.

By Alannah Sparks
Despite the long day and night of dancefloor-hopping behind us, we leapt out of bed bright and early on Tuesday, excited for the day of luxury that awaited us.
After a rejuvenating breakfast on the beach at Ushuaia (bottles of champagne are part of the breakfast buffet, and the fruit juice comes fuelled with Red Bull - these guys don't mess about) we dressed in our finest Agent Provocateur bikini, a suitably wispy maxi skirt from April, May and our biggest, blackest shades from Elizabeth and James, ready to head out on a speed boat with luxury concierge company El Colo Ibiza.
El Colo has all the important contacts on the island so whatever you want, from chefs to sound systems - no matter how ludicrous your request - they'll sort it. We tried to press El Colo's Emma on the outlandish requests of previous celebrity clients, but she was far too professional to spill. So instead we contented ourselves with providing our own outlandish requests: ice cold rose served by a dashing Kiwi on a glossy British speedboat please. El Colo came through.
There's nothing quite like speeding through turquoise waves, soaking up the sunshine and waving nonchalantly to fellow boating types across the water (they're not to know that you don't actually own the boat. Just be sure to dress like you do). A visit to Formentera is a must if you're travelling to Ibiza and though you could get the ferry, a private boat is an expense you won't regret.
Formentera's sea is bluer than Ibiza's, its sands whiter, its restaurants more eye-wateringly expensive. But luckily we've found a brand new spot that thankfully doesn't feel the need to charge €25 for a half an avocado starter, but where the good is every bit as good - if not better - than some of its fellow island eateries. Beso Beach was opened last year by the divinely chiselled ex model Miguel, who also runs a boat charter company in Ibiza. It's a laid-back, bohemian kind of spot populated by Miguel's model friends, some fashion types and the odd DJ taking the opportunity to sink their toes in the sand while sampling some of the island's finest paella. Apparently the party gets going here at sunset, when the footballers and celebrities come out to play, but we had a boat to speed on so we didn't delay
Back on the firm Ibiza soil, we packed our bags and headed for the north of the island to enjoy some much needed R&R. The north of the island is sleepier and in many ways more sophisticated than the south, and this is exactly what we found when we checked in for a late, light dinner at the zen-like Giri Cafe. Overlooking a quiet square in the village of San Juan, this is where to book if you're looking for a romantic evening and some spectacular food. Scallop tartar served on zingy slices of lime, slow-cooked lamb cutlets and ... are just a few of the treats imagined by head chef Javier, who was poached from a restaurant in Barcelona to bring his culinary flair to Giri, and frankly there's nothing else quite like it on the island.
Our last night was spent about as far away from the craziness of Ushuaia as you could get, in the quiet confines of beautiful Can Curreu. One of the island's most understatedly opulent boutique hotels, its whitewashed buildings and bouganvillia-shaded chilling areas invite pure relaxation. The hotel owns several horses for those that fancy exploring the island on hoof, and the spa and wellness centre is exactly where people with party-tired feet should retreat to for complete restoration.
Needless to say, we had the best night's sleep of our trip in its deliciously silent El Reposo room. Nine solid hours meant we'll return from #ELLEIBIZA2013 almost human.

The 34th annual Moweaqua Pow Wow was yet again full of food, carnival rides for all ages, and entertainment for anyone who wanted to sit and enjoy the beautiful weather. This year's Pow Wow theme was "Where Old and New Friends Meet".
On Thursday, the main entertainment was the pageant contests and a musical performance by Battle Creek Band.
In the Little Miss pageant contest, the first runner up was Kenzie Sloan and the winner and new 2013 Little Miss was Paige Simmons. Simmons is the 17th participant to win this award.
In the Junior Miss pageant contest, the second runner up was Hannah Stephens and the first runner up was Sidney Sloan. The new 2013 Junior Miss was Riley Wilson.
The final pageant contest was for the Miss Pow Wow 2013 Queen. Last year's queen, Abby Burgener took part in hosting the competition by asking the participants questions. Second runner up was Ashley Newman and first runner up was Ashley Baczkowski. The winner and new Miss Pow Wow Queen was Rylee Wildt.
On Friday, the main entertainment was the Rock of Ages Band. The Band performed any kind of classic rock music from the 70s and 80s. One song they played was "Don't Stop Believin", a popular song made famous by the band Journey.
Friday and Saturday are also the main days that people come out and enjoy the festivities and catch up with old friends.
An old Moweaqua resident, Tina McStoots, came back to the Pow Wow for the first time in eight years. She said it was weird at first coming back, because it was the first time she had been back to the Pow Wow since her mother, Wilma Shelato, died.
"As soon as I saw an old friend I was okay. It felt right and I'm happy I came back." McStoots said.


text: Hi folks. I would like to take the chance to thank you for the helpful hints, special thanks are going to Anthony Florendo, Robert Kielty and Francisco. Thank you and see you later. Best regards Susanne ======================================================================== =============================== Hi folks. I hope you may help me ! I am working on a Solaris 8 host running an application which is using Java Runtime (1.4.2_02). I am getting the following error message: Java.lang.RuntimeException: "Request timed out waiting for an available thread to run. You may want to consider increasing the number of active threads in the thread pool" I posted the message to the support of the application and got back the answer to increase the number of rlim_fd_max in /etc/system and also the JavaHeapSize to increase. In the meantime we increased both numbers twice. Rlim_fd_max is now 8192, and the Heapsize is 1024 MB. But some time after a reboot of the embedded Webserver of the Application the problem returns, the messages are posted and login to the WebApp is no more possible. Only after restart of the application. After some time the story starts again and so on. Please! Please, may somebody of you, folks, tell me - if it's a OS issue (I remember that Solaris uses these tricky lightweight processes....) ? If yes, how to tune to overcome the problem ? - if it's a Java issue (please just don't tell, that this is not a Java-mailinglist <<I know , but I also don't know where to get help>>) If yes, how may I tune the Java Runtime ? Best regards and please help Susanne

Free agent first baseman/designated hitter Lance Berkman told FOX 26 Sports he has agreed to a one-year contract with the Texas Rangers that includes a vesting option for a second year.
Berkman said he has yet to sign the contract and the deal is pending he pass his physical.
"It's a wonderful opportunity," Berkman said. "I feel great about it.
"I felt like I was probably going to retire at the end of the season last year, but I've improved physically and with the interest the Rangers showed, it was just a deal I couldn't turn down."
Rangers president Nolan Ryan told FOX 26 Sports on Friday that if Berkman is healthy he can be a major asset to any Major League club.
"Nolan is obviously the penultimate Texas legendary baseball player," Berkman said. To get that sort of an appraisal from him is high praise indeed and certainly I hope not to let him down.
"I want to do everything I can to live up to those expectations."
Berkman had wanted a two-year contract, but given he played in only 32 games last year because of a knee issue, he is more than happy with his Rangers deal.
"It's a year with an option that vests," Berkman said. "The club wanted some protection and obviously I understand that.
"With my physical past, I was more than happy to oblige them on that part of it just because it is an uncertain thing when you're talking about sports, especially with an older athlete.
"I feel pretty good right now, but you don't know what's going to happen after six months of the season and I think it's good for both sides to have a little bit of protection. If I can stay healthy and produce then I get another year to play."
Berkman spoke a number of times with the Astros about returning to the organziation where he became one of the club's all-time great players.
"I've got high praise for the Astros organization," Berkman said. "The way that they handled the negotiation and the way they communicated with me was second to none.
"I really feel like the Astros are headed in the right direction. I understood that they've got a lot of young guys they want to play and they are kind of on a rebuilding project. The fit wasn't exactly what either side needed, I guess you could say.
"I certainly have tremendous good will toward the Astros organization, and being a Houstonian I look forward to a continued relationship with those guys down the road."

Man Crush of the Week: R.A. Dickey
R.A. Dickey has no business playing professional sports. He's a gimmick. He doesn't do incredible things with the gifts he was born with. In fact, he was born without ligaments in his arm. Watching him isn't overly impressive by any stretch, other than how it's impressive because it's not.
And he won the Cy Young, capping off the best story of the year.
I've written about Dickey before and so many others have as well. You know the story, the knuckleball, climbing a mountain, the whole deal.
Not much I could really add would be new or really capture how awesome this year was for a guy who is the biggest underdog I can remember.
When Dickey was going for his twentieth win at Citi Field, I bought a cheap seat to the game (with free popcorn, the Mets were desperate at this point) and moved behind the plate of the upper deck to watch him. The stadium was pretty packed for the last home game of the season, especially for a Mets team that was a as soul-sucking as usual. And here was Dickey, getting the crowd on its feet the every time he had two strikes. It was a feel-good story to the point it actually made me, usually a cynical and pessimistic guy, into a sappy mess at the game. I wanted Dickey to get his twentieth win because I knew it would probably get him the Cy Young and eternal recognition of overcoming every odd imaginable. It would be a win for every person who has failed miserably and never given up. For anyone who had horrible things happen to them and to make the most of it.
And he got it. And I couldn't be happier.
Douchebag of the Week: Miami Marlins
The trade that sent the basically any Marlin making money to the Toronto Blue Jays is completely fascinating and for many reasons, namely how the Blue Jays, a potential sleeping giant, are going for in when the AL East is at its most vulnerable.
But moreover it exposed the harsh truth about sports, the one we always overlook and pretend doesn't play much of role in the day-to-day decisions of organizations and their players. Sports are all about money. Everything else be damned. The Marlins have taken this to a nauseating level yet again. In 1998 they gutted a championship team. In 2005 they did so again. This year, after making promises things would be different, making real efforts to build a fan base out of what has amounted to basically nothing in the Miami area, the Marlins built a new ballpark, long the excuse for what ailed the team from sustained success (and with a price tag that will only cost taxpayers about $2.4 billion!). They went out and signed Jose Reyes, Heath Bell and Mark Buehrle, all stars and all for big money. Yet the new park was often empty and wasn't helped by trading their franchise player in Hanley Ramirez to the Dodgers.
Make no mistake, this was not a good team. There were some promising pieces, but the spending did little to help. So once again the Marlins did what they do best and tore apart the team again, sending Josh Johnson, Reyes, Buehrle, John Buck and Emilio Bonaficio to the Jays for a bunch of meh prospects and a guy who write homophobic things on his face. Bravo.
I would talk about how this destroys the fan base, but there wasn't any to speak of. Miami is a black hole of baseball now. Why would anyone pay to see this team which the organization has just thrown out? Why would any player sign with a team that is liable to deal them again within a year to Canada? Why is there even a team in Miami at this point? Just ask new franchise player, Giancarlo Stanton, had this to say.
Money. Owner Jeffrey Loria is going to make a bunch of it. With the money he shed in the deals plus all the revenue sharing and television deals, Loria is going to be making bank. And not even trying to win. Winning would just hurt the profit margin. Loria is pure evil, crushing any enjoyment out of sports for the sake of a couple more dollars. His new prized ballpark (which he barely paid for) will now be a joyless place for those who did pay for it when they actually show up. This is how you destroy sports. And baseball is destroyed in Miami for a long, long time.

These two incredible authors take to the stage to read their latest novels
Elif Batuman & Gary Shteyngart92Y (1395 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY) Map it $27
Two blockbuster authors Elif Batuman and Gary Shteyngart, critically lauded for their wit and craftsmanship, take the stage together in one sensational night! Join us as they read from their new books.
A self-described "six-foot-tall first-generation Turkish woman," Elif Batuman was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. Her essays have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, The London Review of Books and other publications.
Nested like a Russian matryoshka doll, Batuman's first book, The Possessed is a captivating book about books, filled with sketches of eccentric authors, existential angst among their fans, awkward encounters with authors' descendants and a quirky literary history that infinitely leads to even quirkier mysteries. Blending homage, memoir, travelogue and wry comedy, The Possessed is more than a portrait of obsession with Russian literature; it is a full-scale diorama for anyone who loves the printed word, or whose life has been shaped by fictional characters.
Author of the critically acclaimed knockout novels The Russian Debutante's Handbook, Absurdistan and Super Sad True Love Story, Russian-born Gary Shteyngart has risen to the top of the fiction world. His book trailers are viral hits and his collection of blurbs has earned him the tongue-in-cheek title of "master blurber".
His new memoir, Little Failure is a candid, witty and deeply poignant account of his life so far. He shares his American immigrant experience, moving back and forth through time and memory with self-deprecating humor, moving insights and literary bravado.
Off the page, Shteyngart is a masterful storyteller recounting his life as a Lenin-loving ratty-fur-overcoat-wearing child to his anxiety-attack-prone twenties in New York. As a speaker, Shteyngart explores what it means to be an immigrant, a son, an American, a grown-up and a writer.

The University of Toledo is bringing students together Tuesday afternoon for a message of safety. This comes on the heels of a fatal stabbing on campus during the Christmas break.
The townhall is being held at the Student Union's Trimble Lounge on the main campus. It starts at 1:30. University president Lloyd Jacobs along with the school's police chief will be there to answer questions.
This is all stemming from a deadly stabbing near the International House back on December 19th. That's when police found Josiah Galat, 20, of Mansfield dead behind the International House. They also found Erik Littleton, 19, inside the building. He too had stab wounds and was taken to a local hospital. His condition was not released. The two were roommates and some sort of fight escalated and that's when the stabbing occurred. At this point no charges have been filed
You can send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com
Live stream of the townhall NOTE: Link will be live starting at 1:30pm.

In 2011, the German Solar Market saw installations set a new record with 7.5 GW, up from 7.4 GW in 2010.
The German government have long used tariff subsidies to boost the solar market, but only supporting an annual growth of 2.5-3.5 GW. Consequently, cuts in tariff subsidies have been made to reduce the growth. Yet, the growth sets new records fueled by prices collapsing, making solar installations more affordable. Now, growth continues with less need of subsidies, causing challenges concerning the grid infrastructure.
German policy makers
The German government has set a target of 66 GW of installed solar PV capacity by 2030. This target is to be reached with an annual increase of 2.5–3.5 GW. The total is now about 20.6 GW.
Cut in tariff subsidies
The boom in the solar market warrants a steeper cut in tariff subsidies in order to cut expenses on German tax payers in a booming solar market. Policy makers want to reduce the growth of solar power, cutting the tariff subsidies in order to get higher costs for consumers. Already Germany has been cutting the favorable tariffs in order to force the industry to lower its costs in a faster rate. Now, a new cut is placed around 20-25 %.
In December 2011, the amount of installation was about 3 GW. Currently, solar is contributing with an overall power output of about 3 %. In November, the financial minister proposed an annual growth of only 1,000 MW (1 GW). In Spain, a similar moved saw the country fall from rank 1 in 2008 to rank 8 in 2011.
The government have discussed and already made cuts in the tariff subsidies. However, this has not slowed down the solar market, still reaching new record 7.5 GW. A more aggressive cut with 20-25 % is not excepted to have great impact on the solar market in 2012. Instead, falling prices on PV installations have made it more affordable for consumers to invest in solar regardless of subsidies.

OMAHA (kptm) - A local police dog will now be protected against the blast of a bullet. The La Vista K9 unit just got a bulletproof vest worth a thousand dollars.
The La Vista police department has two K9's, police service dog Leda and Tar. Tar is the younger of the two and did not have a protective vest. Leda's had one for several years now and thanks to a generous donation; Tar is now safe while he's on duty.
"It's a peace of mind knowing that he has a vest now. A little bit of protection depending on what that guy we're going after has, whether it's a knife or a gun or what it may be," Tar's handler, La Vista police Officer Mike Loyd said.
When K9 Tar isn't chasing tennis balls, he's searching for drugs, criminals and weapons. But, now he's a little safer while doing so…A $1000 bulletproof vest was donated to keep him out of harm's way. "It's going to take some getting used to, so we have our work cut out for us most definitely, but he'll wear it, he's just not quite sure of it yet," Loyd said.
Officer Loyd's vest weighs approximately 25 pounds, while K9 Tar's vest weighs about 7 pounds, but it's still just as protective against bullets and knives. "A lot of times, guns, criminals are going to pitch when you're chasing after them. A lot of times though they might have that knife on them, when the dog does go on apprehension with somebody it's kind of easier for a guy to pull a knife out and potentially stab the dog," Loyd said.
But the Omaha police department says the vests are restrictive, so they don't use them. "I've had to send him knowing there's a good possibility he could either be shot or stabbed or something like that but that's his job, it's him or we have to send an officer and that's what he's there for," Duke's handler, Omaha police Officer Brian Heath said.
The Council Bluffs police department has a vest, but says it's old and no longer useful. "They're going to go bad after a while just because of the fibers and stuff in there are deteriorating."
And other agencies want them, but don't have any. The Douglas and Sarpy county sheriff's departments say it's due to a lack of funding. However all say they would gladly accept donations, whether it be for a vest or training materials.
Local Law Enforcement Agencies, their protective K9 vest supply, and donation pages:
Omaha Police Department - No Vests - contact Deborah Gombert, Program Coordinator of Friends of the Omaha Police K-9 Unit at 402-498-3414 or visit their website at http://opd.ci.omaha.ne.us/about-us/k-9-unit/donations
Douglas County Sheriff's Department – Have some vests, but not enough for all K9's - The fund is The Douglas County Deputy Sheriff's Foundation, 3601 N. 156th St. Omaha, NE 68116. It is a tax deductible donation. If donating for K-9 specify on the check.
Sarpy County Sheriff's Department – No vests – Visit the website http://www.sarpy.com/sheriff/contactus.html
Council Bluffs Police Department – Has vests, but outdated – Contact Captain Scott Milner at 712-328-4707

I'm a beginner in woodworking and I don't have allot of tools. I have the basic, but so far only hand tools. But looking around the web at different project I saw that a marking gauge I is a very useful tool, when I venture further on with other project.
So this I made this marking gauge of mahogany and brass, and with the blade from a hobby knife. I'm very please with it, and I hope I will be a big help further on when start experimenting with dovetail joints and cabinets.
Regards to you all

Well, for a beginner you are very good at detail work. The brass inlay on this gouge was done very well, very good work. If you expand this craftsmanship into larger projects, they're going to be excellent projects to be proud of.

Very nice. One of the things I enjoyed most when I started out, and still enjoy today, is making the tools I needed instead of buying them. Marking tools, push sticks, and other jigs and fixtures give me more enjoyment than a picture frame or jewelry box. Mostly because I get to keep them for myself and they never have to leave the shop. I try to use just as nice pieces of wood and finishes on these as I use on other projects.

Jati has a passion for teak that goes back to 1984. So we'd like to help guide you through some tips on how to care for your teak, to ensure you get lasting value.
Our outdoor wicker furniture is made of very tough UV resistant polypropolene synthetic fibre which requires very little maintenance.
Batyline can simply be cleaned using a non-abrasive household detergent. Use a soft bristled brush to remove any stains or spillage as soon as possible to prevent permanent staining.
Stainless steel is best cared for with a stainless steel cleaner which, when used with a Scotchbrite pad, will remove superficial marks or stains and also provides a protective film. We recommend a light application of cleaner on the stainless steel when the furniture first goes outside.
The single most important thing to look after your umbrella and prolong its life is to invest in a good quality protective cover. An umbrella spends most of its life folded up not being used. If it is enclosed in a cover it will remain clean and looking like new for many years.
Cushion covers can be washed very easily. Just remove from the cushion insert, turn inside out and close the zipper. Wash by hand with a mild detergent or on a delicate/silk cycle in your washing machine. Never wash in water warmer than 30 degrees.

HOTELIER TV International - Exclusive Interview with Legendary Grand Hotelier Horst H. Schulze
We met Horst H. Schulze in Dusseldorf, Germany at Breidenbacher Hof, a Capelle Hotel, for an exclusive interview about new hotel projects, failed luxury hotels, highest service standards and his childhood in Germany.
Horst Schulze revolutionized the hotel industry, creating one of the most recognizable international brands, forever altering the very nature of customer service by creating a culture of "ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen." A charismatic leader and entrepreneur with an intimate understanding of market demands, he created a legion of loyal customers by raising the bar for customer service expectations to previously unimagined levels. Schulze provides audiences with successful service-oriented strategies to build and maintain lasting customer relationships that keep them coming back for more. A man of rare ability and prophetic vision, Schulze himself was named "Corporate Hotelier of the World" by HOTELS magazine and was awarded the Ishikawa Medal for his contributions to the quality movement. Currently chairman and CEO of The West Paces Hotel Group, Schulze is launching the newest standard in luxury hotels, Solis Hotels and Resorts and Capella Hotels and Resorts, creating an unmatched tier of customer service.

I'll admit it...I'm a sucker
"Ok, so I liked the commercials and thought I would give these a try. I have to wear orthotics so I need shoes that fit them, are not too hot for summer and don't totally scream UGLY. These fit the bill and are cute to boot. The insoles come right out so I didn't need to order up a size. They are lightweight and comfy. They seem to get dirty pretty easily so its a good thing they are washable."

"My first order of this shoe was too long, I ordered an 8.5 which fits in most sneaks. I liked the shoe enough to return it for an 8, which fit fine. I was excited to wear them for a walk around the block to see how they felt and I had a major problem with the shoes rolling my arches inward. It was very uncomfortable and I tried to adjust them. I wanted to love them but had to return them as it was a struggle to try to walk and keep my feet straight. Not a problem I've ever had with shoes in the past..."

Great Walking Shoe!
"I will admit I first "heard" about these sneakers from the Miranda Kerr commercial that seems to play all the time when I'm watching tv.I wore my Skyscapes for the first time this past weekend, and really tested them out well - around 10 miles of walking on Saturday, and 9 miles on Sunday. These sneakers are light as air, super comfortable, and still offer a lot of support. I've worn flats/sandals to walk around for the day before, and my shins are always the first to start hurting at the end of the day. I had no issues after each day of walking, these are great!"

Waller Creek Pop-Up Adventure Picnic
Bringing together the brightest minds in cuisine and design, the Waller Creek Pop-Up Adventure Picnic celebrates the rebirth of downtown's natural landscape.
Hidden in the heart of urban Austin is Palm Park, a tree-lined pocket of lush grass off of I-35. A year from now, it will become a beautiful children's park, offering access to the Convention Center and East Side, but for now, it is a springtime gathering place and the site of this month's Waller Creek Pop-Up Adventure Picnic. Hosted by the Waller Creek Conservancy, the picnic is a community-wide invitation to explore one of our city's core green spaces, as we toast to the Waller Creek Project and re-imagine the vibrant landscape of downtown Austin.
The 10 of 2010: Mark Strama, Legislator
This Democratic Representative may be facing an uphill battle, but that won't stop the dynamic politico from reaching his goals for the state.
Less than a week after his re-election to the Texas House of Representatives, Democrat Mark Strama is grateful, but not elated. This victory, his fourth, is bittersweet. While he will return to serve in January, over 20 of his fellow Dems will not. So when congratulated, which he is many times during our meeting, he smiles and shrugs his shoulders at the same time, and his thank yous turn into explanations in which he paints a picture of himself as one of the last men standing, with an uncertain future.
The 10 of 2010: Carolyn Schwarz, Executive Director, Health Alliance for Austin Musicians
Through HAAM, this "Jane of all Trades" is making sure the people that make this the Live Music Capital can keep on keepin' on.
When Carolyn Schwarz was a young girl, her mother and father would play the radio to help her fall asleep. Now, Schwarz is executive director of the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM), a program that connects local musicians to discount healthcare services. And because of her work, thousands of musicians can sleep better knowing they have access to healthcare.

The 10 of 2010: Lucia Athens, Austin's Chief Sustainability Officer
One of the world's leaders in sustainable building is out to ensure Austin's leading eco status.
Lucia Athens is the first "chief sustainability officer" for the city of Austin, a somewhat forbidding job title that evokes images of a stern cop who slinks down our alleys, peeking into our blue recycling bins and issuing tickets for the various eco-infractions we're guilty of making from time to time. Lucia Athens doesn't hand out tickets for putting greasy pizza boxes in the recycling bin, but the modern environmental movement has succeeded so well at making all of us feel responsible for saving the earth—and guilty if we don't—that to hear Austin now has a chief sustainability officer conjures notions of lock-step compliance.
The 10 of 2010: Pamela Colloff, Journalist
How the Texas Monthly writer freed an innocent man from prison
Although she won't admit it, Pamela Colloff is responsible for getting an innocent man who had been on death row out of jail. One month after Colloff published an article in the October issue of Texas Monthly about Anthony Graves, who spent 18 years in prison for supposedly murdering six people, Burleson County district attorney Bill Parham stated that "There's not a single thing that says Anthony Graves was involved in this case. There is nothing." Colloff says the article merely "helped focus public attention on his case." After the story was published, the prosecutors "needed to respond to the questions raised in the story, and I think that's the most anybody can say," she insists.

At age 50, Elizabeth Avellán is branching out, bringing ideas to life on the big screen and beyond.

From her new company, EYA Productions, to the iPad apps she is developing, to her philanthropic work in Afghanistan and Morocco, to her six children, Avellán is busy, and thrilled to be working on her own projects.
The 10 of 2010: S.C. Gwynne, Author
How a former banker became the author of this year's hottest book about Texas
In the early eighties, while he was working for a large multinational bank, S.C. "Sam" Gwynne commuted to downtown Los Angeles every day wishing he were Hunter S. Thompson, George Orwell, Wallace Stegner, Ernest Hemingway, Edward Abbey, Ken Kesey, or Tom Wolfe. That's a heady list of idols for a man who was already 29 and syndicating multimillion dollar, international loans rather than being paid to write. Donning his "pinstriped suit, Brooks Brothers shirt, and wing-tip brogans," Gwynne reminded himself as he was setting up those loans that, as he's since written, "Stegner and Orwell were not out hawking loans in their late 20s; not commuting to the financial district carrying a briefcase full of credit reports; not reading The Wall Street Journal at a large oak desk on the 38th floor of the First Interstate Tower."
The 10 of 2010: Julie Thornton, Arts Advocate
This former ballerina and arts advocate has all the right moves for taking Austin to the next level.
Monday afternoon in an East Austin photo studio: If Julie Thornton is tired from her weekend in New York (for the epic Performa's Red Party); running her landscape-design business, Big Red Sun; or all the recent festivities around the grand reopening of Arthouse at the Jones Center, for which she has been the board president for the past five years, it doesn't show. At 41, Julie is a petite and effervescent bundle of energy, posing for the camera in a chic Alexander McQueen jacket that only she could pull off. Her years as a professional ballet dancer show in the graceful ease of her movements. And almost instantly, the photographer and his assistant are charmed, as seems to be the case with everyone who crosses her path.

This would tie in with the water experiments done by Japanese (i think) scientists, where they focus good thoughts on a vial of water, when they freeze it, it makes the most splendid ice crystals (under a microscope) but when they focus negatively on it, it freezes into a nasty blob.

I have been working in IT since 2001 for companies such as Computacenter and Getronics. I started out as a first line support analyst supporting heterogeneous networks but rapidly worked my way up the ranks expanding my knowledge as I went to include areas such as system builds, deployments, networking, and security to name a few.In 2008 I decided to concentrate on the monitoring and management of large enterprise networks using Microsoft's System Center Operations Manager (OpsMgr) 2007 of which I have extensive knowledge. As testament to this the Windows Management User Group (WMUG), invited me to join their ranks as a Community Leader where I have been invaluable in helping to bolster the OpsMgr skills to the benefit of the group and it's members.I have now moved into an OpsMgr 2007 consultancy role to do what I like most - working with OpsMgr and sharing my knowledge and experiences with the community.
I published a post sometime ago on how to seal a management pack (http://www.aquilaweb.com/blog/index.php?itemid=85) but things are now a bit easier in OpsMgr R2. The install media for R2 includes the installer for the new Authoring Console which now provides functionality for sealing management packs. It doesn't completely simplify what is required to seal an MP as you still need to generate your own SNK file but at least you no longer need a long command line to perform the sealing.
Before sealing a management, or even generating the key required, there are a couple of prerequisites.
The steps below outline how to generate a key and get the public key token (lifted straight from my original post).
For key generation you will require .NET Framework 2.0 and any one of these:
For management pack sealing you will require:
Once the prereq's have been met you can now create your key and seal
up your management pack.
1. Create the key file by running this command: sn -k c:\pairkey.snk
2. Extract the public key to file: sn -p c:\pairkey.snk c:\pubkey
3. Extract public key and public key token from file: sn -tp c:\pubkey
Here is where things get a bit easier, once you have your SNK key you can now open the Authoring Console and seal your MP.
1. Open your unsealed MP that needs sealing within the Authoring Console.
2. Select File, Save As, Sealed and Signed Management Pack.
3. Select a location to save your new sealed MP and click Save.
4. Enter your Company Name and Copyright information and then select your SNK file created previously in the Choose a key file field. Click OK.
5. That's it, your sealed MP has been generated in the save location you specified.
Now your sealed MP has been created you can now import it into your environment. Remember though that you cannot import a sealed MP when an unsealed MP already exists with the same name. If you were previously working with an unsealed copy of your MP, delete it then import your sealed version.
Also, MPSeal.exe is still available within the Support Tools folder on the install media if for some reason you prefer to seal using the command line. Instructions here, http://www.aquilaweb.com/blog/index.php?itemid=85.
Hopefully that will make some of your lives a bit easier :-)

Cave Aged
Quick View
EpoissesYou may not know it, but Époisses is actually a French word meaning "completely worth the effort"—either that or "stinky but incredibly loveable" because the end result, a custardy bacon bomb, is oh-so-worth-it. One slurp of the intensely creamy paste of this French classic, and you'll know why we go to such lengths to ensure that this unctuous pasteurized cow's milk round, made in Burgundy, France, is so delightfully decadent. After near extinction in France during the World Wars, Époisses de Bourgogne was resurrected in the 1950s by our beloved M. Berthaut. After being carefully hand-ladled into forms and dry-salted, each wheel takes a turn in French cave. Tucked into a clever wooden box meant to ease transport to our fair shores, serving Époisses isn't nearly as difficult as aging it—slice a crusty baguette and dunk away, adding a glass of Burgundian white for terroir-driven perfection.

Little Big AppleOur cavemaster starts with fluffy white rounds of buttery Organic Champlain Valley Triple Cream that have been aged to creamy perfection in our caves. Meanwhile, handpicked apple leaves from the orchards at Warwick Winery and Distillery are soaked in Apple Jack, a brandy from Black Dirt Distilling. Then bloomy each round is hand-wrapped and tied in place with a piece of twine. We age the cheese a few days more to let the brandy work its magic, resulting in a chic little package that's full of BIG charisma and flavor. Read More
