9 Secrets of Motivated People
Real-life strategies that will help you to actually accomplish the goals you've set for yourself this year.
3. Don't let your goals run wild... When your sights are too ambitious, they can backfire, burn you out, and actually become demotivating, says Lisa Ordóñez, a professor of management and organizations at the Eller College of Management, at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. Instead of aiming unrealistically high (such as trying to save enough money for a down payment on a home in six months), set goals that are a stretch but not an overreach (come up with a doable savings plan for your budget).
...But work on them everyday. According to Daniel Pink, author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us ($27, amazon.com), taking small steps every day will not only help hold your interest in what you're trying to achieve but will also ensure that you move slowly, but surely, toward your goal. So, for example, set up a down-payment-fund jar and dump your change into it every night. You'll get a sense of accomplishment each day, to boot.
4. Go public with it. Instead of keeping your intentions to yourself, make them known to many. "Other people can help reinforce your behavior," says James Fowler, a political scientist who studies social networks at the University of California, San Diego. After all, it's harder to abandon a dream when you know that people are tracking your progress. Take Stefanie Samarripa of Dallas, 25, who wanted to lose 20 pounds. She created a blog and told all her friends to read it. "I wanted something to hold me accountable," she says. Samarripa weighs herself weekly and announces the result on Desperately Seeking Skinny (skinnystefsam.blogspot.com). During her first three weeks, she lost six pounds. "People read my updates and make comments, which helps me keep going," she says.
5. Lean on a support crew when struggling. Think of the friends and family who truly want to see you succeed. Enlisting those with whom you have authentic relationships is key when your motivation begins to wane. Choose people who may have seen you fail in the past and who know how much success means to you, says Edward L. Deci, a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, in New York. For Jane Arginteanu of New York City, support came in the form of her fiancé, Glenn. Arginteanu had smoked from the time she was a teenager and had tried to quit before. When she decided to give it another go, Arginteanu says, "Glenn stood by me and told me, without ever issuing an ultimatum, that he wanted to grow old with me. That was terrific motivation." A year later, she's smoke-free.

Why Read This ReportWith the costs of product life-cycle management (PLM) applications under more and more scrutiny, software-as-a-service (SaaS) is getting more attention as a viable alternative approach to on-premise deployments. Today, however, the adoption of SaaS for PLM remains very modest relative to other application categories, with companies reporting security risks, total cost concerns, and integration requirements as primary inhibitors of adoption. Product development IT professionals should take note of SaaS success stories for human resources (HR), sales force automation (SFA), and customer relationship management (CRM) applications and explore how SaaS PLM offerings can lower upfront costs and make functionality both faster and easier to deploy. In terms of vendor support, emerging SaaS players including Arena Software and Datastay are already working to prove the viability of their SaaS PLM offerings as additional options among the panoply of other small and medium-size business (SMB) offerings from Dassault Systemes, PTC, and Siemens PLM.

It's been a while since we released a free theme for our readers. We've released Five free WordPress themes before and that was long back, so we thought that it's time to create release another free and minimalist theme for our readers. On top of it, the good news is that we had submitted this theme in WordPress theme directory and it got approved too.
Presenting Simple Blog Design -
1. Minimalist theme – Simple blog design is a minimalist theme and because of less use of images and anything fancy, it loads blazingly fast and ensure that your readers won't have to wait for long.
2. Multiple columns – Simple blog design is not just any two column theme, it can be converted easily from the options panel into three column theme too.
3. Amazing typography – We focused a lot on typography to ensure that your blog readers will be able to read the text pretty nicely. Not just that, we've given the choice to you in case you are interested in choosing different font. You can easily choose from Verdana, Georgia & Arial font for your blog. You can choose this from the options panel.
4. Feedburner integrated – You don't need to use feedburner feedsmith plugin at all! Simply enter your feedburner URL in the options panel and Simple blog design theme will automatically redirect all subscribers to the feedburner address.
We are pretty excited as the theme got released yesterday only (on wordpress theme directory) and has been downloaded 41 times already!

Great Theme
My Questions 1. Is it possible to have more than 1 menu (bar, christmas, kids, on separate pages). 2. Is it possible to have more than one galley page (only showing certain categories).
Thanks for liking the theme.
Top navigation bar has two menus and both are managed from wordpress admin >> appearances >> menus . All pages use the same top navigation bar. if you need different menu for different pages then you need to customize the theme code and for that purpose you need a wp developer.
For gallery item types (categories) there are archive pages with three columns layout as shown in this link http://elegantia.inspirythemes.com/gallery-item-type/food/
OK I have employed a developer to do more than 1 menu (bar and restaurant) thanks anyway
Great theme…
It would be great if you could add another social icon – Google plus or pinterest to the social bar.
Also, since I am not pulling the home page sliders from the media upload – is there a way to add alt text?
Thank you
I will consider adding more social icons in next update after couple of weeks. there is no way to add alt text for slider image for now but I will also add that in future update.
Is it possible to arrange the main manu (left and right) directly next to the logo? As you can see on my website it looks a bit weird, because the left main menu is very left and the right main menu is very right. http://www.localgourmet.de/home/#
Please create a support ticket for this and I will assign a person from support team to help you in this regard.
Sign-up error Item Purchase Code is Invalid.
For valid purchase code, Please follow the guide on this knowledge base article http://support.inspirythemes.com/knowledgebase/how-to-get-themeforest-item-purchase-code/
another question is there any way we can sort the menu items ? for example – the preview shows appetisers, deserts, main dishes, salads (i will assume sorted by alphabetical). it seems strange as it should be appetisers, main dishes, deserts, salads (main dishes before desert and after the appetiser. can we sort by date or even better the type slug?
Yes, it can be sorted by "Menu Item Type" slug.
Please create a support ticket for this and I will provide your another version of "Our Menu Template" file with sort by slug feature.
OK ticket in
Hi, Replied the ticket. Please check it for solution. Regards
Hi solution not working see ticket reply, still sorting by date not slug (i have changed our menu page template)
I have tested it already and replied the ticket again with more info. I hope you got it working now.
Dear Buyers,
Please submit your question in the form of ticket on our support site http://support.inspirythemes.com/ . We can help you better from there.
How do I remove the "Leave a reply" (post a comment) on the bottom of the default template with left sidebar?
Excellent theme so far. Thank you
There are two solution for this.
1. checkout this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/HFl0pA8xN . you just need to display discussion metabox and disable its check-boxes to remove comments.
2. checkout this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/PxNhEo3VJ73 . you need to edit template-left-sidebar.php and comment the comments_template() method.
I hope above points will help you solve the issue.
Thanks & Regards
Hi, I am thinking of buying this theme, but before I do I was wondering if you would be updating the theme anytime soon to be supported on high-res (retina) displays? Because, right now when viewing this theme on iPad or iPhone the theme images look very pixelated.
Hi, I will consider this but cannot provide you a fixed timeline for this as we have many things in pipeline.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Hello i like this theme, im plannign to buy it, but: Does is translation ready? And if in the Menu, it can take out the link in the image, get ride of the price, and only looks like a standar menu without no links¿? Thanks
1. theme is translation ready and comes with default .po and .mo files
2. we will help you remove the link and price if you create a support ticket after the purchase.
Thanks & Regards
Great theme! I am going to use it for hotel website. But before I buy it I have one question. Is it possible to use Food menu module both for Restaurant menu as well for example Hotel rooms where each room would be like a restaurant menu item? In other words there should be Menu section and Hotel section…. and both of them should look very similar (like a Menu section on your live preview)
Thanks for liking the theme.
Food Menu has a specific section in backend as displayed in following images.
1. http://themeforest.net/theme_previews/3678945-elegantia-restaurant-and-cafe-wordpress-theme?index=1
2. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/shhlwnbj66g0qxz/vke0YjncS4
So, you can use it for hotel rooms.
let me know if you need more help in this regard after purchase.
Thank you for reply! I suppose my question wasn't very clearly asked. I would like to know if there is possibility to "duplicate" this backend section in order to use it both on Restaurant menu section as well as on Hotel room section… on the same website? Or may be i can put all items (menu items and rooms) under Food Menu section with different "Type" (in backend) and then sort them into two different frontend pages?
Anyway I am going to buy your excellent template… so may be I should ask all these questions after buying
Hi, I really like this theme and I want to buy it for a restaurant website, I am an absolute newbie to wordpress, so I Have a few questions: 1) can I reduce the number of links in the Navigation bar? 2) I need a google plus social icon and I wonder if is now available or if I need to buy the theme after the update? 3)can I easily add videos in a page, without redirecting the visitors to a new page?
Thanks for liking this theme.
1. number of links can be reduced and can be managed by visual drag and drop from WordPress back-end as displayed in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/rntrLakyq
2. Google plus icon is not added yet but we can provide you in support.
3. to add a video you simply need to add its embed code in that page's content from WordPress back-end page editor.
Thanks & Regards
Is some multilingual plugin that works with the theme?
What do you think about wpml pluggin?
This theme is translation ready to any language and built in a standard way.
But, multilingual features are not added in this theme to support plugin link WPML. I think WPML support will help you achieving multilingual site with this theme or any theme.
Hi, I approached your great theme, iam new to this. i wonder if can upload the demo files to my website, just like the way it is on demo and make changes to my own pictures and texts? because i dont know how to create all these files. Thanks!
We will help you in this regard. please create a support ticket for this on http://support.inspirythemes.com

I love the feel and look of the theme,I purchased it and now I am lost.I can't find any tutorials for it, submitted a ticket, but no response yet, please help!
After downloading the package from themeforest, unzip the package.
It contains documentation folder that contains index.html . you need to open that in any browser you have and it contains all the documentation information.
let me know if you have any problem in this regard.
PS: Tickets are normally replied in 24 hours approx.
Hi, nice job. Does the theme support vimeo and/or youtube videos to be part of a gallery? Besides, can I have a twitter widget at the bottom?
Hi, Thanks for liking the theme. 1. Gallery does not support videos. 2. You can use a twitter widget in any sidebar but there is no widgetized area in footer so you cannot use it there. Regards
For those who use the WPML, could you tell me if it works? I need to provide the users with the option to switch from English to Spanish and vice-verse at any time during their navigation… is it possible with this them?
This theme is translation ready to any language and built in a standard way.
But, multilingual features are not added in this theme to support WPML plugin.
I just bought the theme but some features are not working. Go to this websitehttp://www.mkv.cl/menu/
and clik on read more…you'll see you get an 404 error.
Can you show me how to translate the website into spanish? Thanks
Thanks for purchase.
1. you need to re-save your permalink settings http://screencast.com/t/CaaCCXr0V twice to fix the 404 error.
2. here is guide to translate your theme http://support.inspirythemes.com/knowledgebase/how-to-translate-your-theme-to-your-language/
Thank you for your response, but now I have another issue. I did translate my theme with Poedit, however it's not displaying some characters. Instead it's displaying a square. In spanish we use this character ´ for example: Menú so I get a square where the ú goes. How can I fix it?
I am not sure what is wrong here. But for reference we have used following two fonts in this theme.
1. Droid Serif : http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Droid+Serif
2. Droid Sans: http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Droid+Sans
So, you can see the available character set on above given links.
Hi, it this theme unlimited colors? Thnx!
There is only one skin with limited color change options as displayed in following screenshot https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9470279/elegantia-wp/styling.png
Thnx. But I think it's possible, for example, to change the menu-background in CSS or not?
Yes. you can change it easily from CSS
I love the template, i do need something else that i cannot see, like a cart area ( for sale gift cards ). Can you help me with that?
Hi, Sorry there is no cart area and I cannot help you in this regard.
But, I think there should be no problem in using a plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cart66-lite/
Another Thing is…..On this theme have widget area? Footer? Sidebar?
This theme has 5 sidebar widget areas http://screencast.com/t/Jto6GhE6RQK
There is no footer widget area though due to design reasons.

It's a good start to the day to go to the Market with a friend. I picked up some coffee at City Cafe (supporting some fair trade along the way) before we headed over. That place is a jewel. Its bewitching aromas of fire-baked bagels and hot apple tarts made me so mellow that I was charmingly nice to the elderly patrons one finds there at 7am on a Saturday.
The Market was pleasantly busy, and we enjoyed a wander among the stalls. The peppers were ready with a myriad of colour to draw us in. The corn was plump and a sweet Fall yellow. And the hardy mums brought beautiful russets to the mix (on balance with the gourds and pumpkins in profusion).
In the air was the smell of fresh basil mixed with spiced lamb, new cider, ripe fruit and fresh manure.
When I got home, I made some great scrambled eggs, then enjoyed another coffee with my morning paper on the porch – crisp air and dappled sun. Sigh.
It's the kind of day when I wish I had a country lane for a long, meandering, contemplative walk.

All departments/offices that use the Content Management System must adhere to the following user policies and style guidelines, which were developed based on consultation with web site experts and benchmarking of other institutional websites.
Use of the Content Management System
To request the ability to publish content to www.union.edu via the CMS, please complete and submit the Online Project Request Form. Once it has been submitted, we will work with department leadership to assess whether your department's/office's publishing needs and workflow require access to the Content Management System. Because the Content Management System allows users to publish content directly to Union's live web site --the public digital face of the College-- requests for access will be carefully evaluated.
Once access is granted, a primary web content author must then be designated from within the requesting department/office. Student interns or temporary workers are not eligible to be designated web content authors. The Office of Communications and Marketing will then provide all the required CMS training for the designee. Web content authors must attend at least two CMS "open houses" yearly. All content authors will receive monthly e-mail reminders listing the dates and times of the next available session(s).
Inactive Accounts
For security purposes, any user account within the CMS that has been inactive for at least six months will be deleted.
Creating New Pages
In order to maintain the visual and content integrity of the web site and ensure Union is always putting its "best face" forward, the creation of additional or new web pages within the site is subject to approval by the Office of Communication and Marketing.
Creating Content
In creating content, please keep in mind that web pages should not be used as "content archives," nor should they duplicate information that is already accessible on other parts of www.union.edu. For example, do not include a list of events on your web page; instead, add events to the central campus calendar and use your web site to link to that information if necessary.
It may be helpful to think of a web site as an online brochure of sorts. Content on most pages should be "evergreen," concise and pruned of extraneous material. If users need to sort through superfluous pages, long lists and redundant content, they will inevitably miss the key messages the site is trying to communicate. When in doubt, keep it simple.
External (public) vs. Internal Content
All content authors should use discretion over what kind of internal content is publicly shared on www.union.edu. Remember that most pages on the site can be accessed by anyone, at any time, once they are published live. In general, department file servers, access-restricted intranets and tools such as Blackboard-- not www.union.edu-- should be used to share meeting notes, room schedules, student abstracts, conference summaries, lab fees, lesson assignments, employee announcements, etc.
Formatting and Readability
In the interest of improving web page readability and reducing formatting problems, please use formatted text (bold, italics, etc.) sparingly.
Punctuation and Tone
Writing for the web should be clear, concise and matter-of-fact. Avoid long sentences, cliches, and overly academic or complex language. Avoid exclamation points. The best way to think of web writing is to imagine how you would make your point quickly to a person sitting across from you, then write with that same tone and style.
Use of Multimedia
For most web site designees and content creators, video, photography, flash elements, graphics and other multimedia elements are strongly discouraged. These elements, especially if poorly executed, risk not only obscuring the primary message but rendering the page inaccessible or unreadable. They can also interfere with the visual integrity of the site. Social media is a better alternative for hosting user-created media content, and offers the added benefit of greater interaction with the user. (But, prior to testing the social media waters, please consult with us for tips and best practices.)
File Naming Conventions within the CMS
Individual web page and directory names should never contain numbers, uppercase letters, or (with the exception of dashes) punctuation and special symbols. In most cases, pages are to be named "index" and hosted within an individual folder that denotes the topic.
If long directory names are unavoidable, make them search engine-accessible by separating key words with hyphens.
".php" is the default extension for Web pages hosted on www.union.edu. The use of Web pages with alternative extensions (.html for example) is subject to approval.
Posting Documents Online
Due to web accessibility and compatibility issues, web site designees should not publish Word documents to www.union.edu. Instead, convert them to pdfs and upload them to a directory folder. All pdfs should be stored in one directory within your area of the site. Observe the following naming convention in the text so it is obvious to the user that the link goes to a pdf document and not another Web page: Name of Document (pdf)
Creating Online Forms
Web pages designed for the sole purpose of allowing users to enter and submit data ("Web Forms") will be created only if no other practical means exist to efficiently collect that information. Requests for Web forms will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Content Audits
Periodically, the Office of Communications and Marketing, in its role as a steward of the Union brand, will thoroughly audit and assess content, CMS usage and web analytics. The results of the review and, if required, a site improvement plan, will then be shared with the appropriate department/office supervisors and web content authors.
Our Responsibilities
The Office of Communications and Marketing bears ultimate responsibility for all content publicly accessible on www.union.edu. As a result, we reserve the right to remove material that is inaccurate or outdated, does not comply with basic web accessibility standards, or in other ways violates content and style guidelines and standard web best practices.

Anyone who has ever been in a courtroom, or even watched a television show about a courtroom, knows it is a bad idea to be rude to the judge. A woman found out just how bad that idea can be.
Penelope Soto was in a Miami court on a minor drug charge. Video captured in the courtroom shows her laughing and joking as the judge set her bond amount.
Soto's act led the judge to call her back and double her bond ... and that is when things got worse.
The judge sentenced her to 30 days in jail and a $10,000 fine for her actions.

Logging Railroads date back to the 1870's. By the turn of the century a variety of geared logging locomotives were available to loggers to bring in logs to the mills. Geared power worked well in the early years because the logging sites were relatively near the mills and the slow speed of the geared engines was not a problem. The rough and twisting track required special locomotives and geared power worked well. As the cutting areas moved further back into the woods and away from the mills, the geared engines with their slow speed began to delay production and a solution was needed.
In stepped Baldwin in 1896 and began marketing a selection of small-drivered 2-6-2 (Prairie) type locomotives to loggers. The small drivers were necessary to handle the steep grades found on logger's tracks. The rod-type 2-6-2 had a much greater speed which enabled it to pick up the log loads that the geared power had brought in from the steep twisting track that was at the cutting site and move the loads to the mill on the better built track that led from camp to mill.
By 1900 the Polson Brothers of Hoquiam, WA had been cutting timber in that region for a number of years. In the early years the geared Shays and Climax engines used by Polson Brothers Logging Co. did a good job of keeping the mill supplied with logs. By 1900 however, the cutting areas had moved far enough into the woods that a faster locomotive was needed to bring the logs from the log camp to the mill. Polson Brothers took delivery of #45 in January 1906. She was built as a wood burner with tall racks on her tender to hold several cords of wood. Her small 44" drivers gave her good traction on the grades but also allowed her to travel twice the speed that the geared power could operate. In the 1920's Polson Brothers converted #45 to burn oil to reduce the danger of her starting trackside fires that would burn the very timber Polson was trying to harvest.
In the 1930's when her smoke box was wearing thin the master mechanic at the shops at Railroad Camp used a section of an old donkey boiler to make a new smoke box for #45. The unique donkey boiler smoke box is still on #45 today. In 1945 Polson Brothers sold their holdings and railroad to Rayonier Inc. By this time, larger rod-type 2-8-2 and 2-6-6-2 mallet engines had replaced little #45 on the mainline log-haul.
#45 continued in service around Railroad Camp and in work train service until she was retired in 1960 and donated to the City of Hoquiam and put on display at the Polson Museum at Hoquium, WA. By 1998 #45 was deteriorating badly from the salt air at her display site. The City of Hoquiam donated #45 to the Mount Rainier Scenic RR in 1998 and she was shipped to the shops at Mineral, WA. Due to her small size and badly deteriorated condition, present plans call for her to be cosmetically restored and preserved as a testament to the loggers use of early rod-type logging locomotives.
This 44 ton Prairie was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA for the Polson Logging Company of Hoquiam, WA:

Law Firm Uses Social Network and Billboards to Raise Money for Client's Cause
Posted Oct 22, 2010 6:00 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The environmental law firm Earthjustice is raising money to help endangered species with the help of a generous donor, free billboards and a social networking website.
The law firm's billboards at San Francisco transit stations feature the American pika, a "cute rabbitlike" creature that may be most at risk from global warming in the United States, the New York Times reports.
The billboards urge commuters to use their smartphones to check in at Foursquare, a social networking service that lets people broadcast their location, the Times explains. Every time someone checks in to the "Earthjustice ad" at Foursquare, an anonymous donor will give $10 to help protect endangered species, the billboards promise.
Earthjustice decided to try out the campaign after it was offered free space to run public service ads at several rapid transit stations in the Bay Area, the story says. The law firm represents the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group fighting to place the pika on endangered species lists.
The law firm met its fund-raising goal—the anonymous donor had capped his contribution at $50,000—and also had some success in the courts this week. A California judge ordered the California Fish and Game Commission to reconsider a decision to deny state endangered species protection to the pika, the New York Times Green blog reports in a separate story.

Cheat Sheet: 5 Things You Missed While Living Your Life
January 8, 2010 at 12:41 pm , by Catherine LeFebvre
1. It's COOOOOLD Out!
Pretty much everywhere in the country. To warm up, I made the jambalaya from our wintry casseroles story, and am attempting to take Gab's advice on how to look cute while staying cozy — though I hope she doesn't notice how utilitarian my snow boots are.
2. The Happiness Project
A great book for the new year (with my favorite subtitle in recent memory), The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun, hit number 2 on the Times Bestseller List. Gretchen Rubin already had a pretty good life, but was suffering from "midlife malaise," and so decided to do something about it. "I wanted to change my life without changing my life, by finding more happiness in my own kitchen." Rubin also has a blog where you can join a happiness challenge for 2010.
3. Kate Gosselin's Hair
I know, I know, we're not supposed to talk about Kate Gosselin anymore. But I'm sorry, I just can't help myself (similar guilty pop culture pleasure: The Jersey Shore Name Generator)! I'm glad to see her looking and sounding happy, even if it's for a superficial minute. And I'm not the only one: Erica did a great Beauty Coach on hair extensions because of it.
4. Kid Stuck Behind the Couch
A little in the vein of "David after Dentist" in that you wonder why the parents thought it was a good idea to tape it, but when the boy says "thank you for saving me," it's hard for your heart not to melt a little.
5. It's COOOOOLD Out!
Think warm thoughts until next week!

Full report: Cumbrian footpath restored after floods
The floods of 2005 caused widespread damage across much of Cumbria, but thankfully most people's homes have been repaired, and new flood defences are in place.
However, it has taken until now to restore a riverside path in south Cumbria, and this week saw an official opening ceremony, at the River Lune in Kirkby Lonsdale.

Gradient projection for sparse reconstruction: Application to compressed sensing and other inverse problems (2007)

Years of Citing Articles
Abstract—Many problems in signal processing and statistical inference involve finding sparse solutions to under-determined, or ill-conditioned, linear systems of equations. A standard approach consists in minimizing an objective function which includes a quadratic (squared ℓ2) error term combined with a sparseness-inducing (ℓ1) regularization term.Basis pursuit, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), waveletbased deconvolution, and compressed sensing are a few wellknown examples of this approach. This paper proposes gradient projection (GP) algorithms for the bound-constrained quadratic programming (BCQP) formulation of these problems. We test variants of this approach that select the line search parameters in different ways, including techniques based on the Barzilai-Borwein method. Computational experiments show that these GP approaches perform well in a wide range of applications, often being significantly faster (in terms of computation time) than competing methods. Although the performance of GP methods tends to degrade as the regularization term is de-emphasized, we show how they can be embedded in a continuation scheme to recover their efficient practical performance.

According to a new report from the United Health Foundation, the overall health of Americans has failed to improve in four years.
Experts analyzed health, environmental and economic data to come up with a state-by-state health ranking. They found that rising obesity levels and steady smoking rates have caused the nation to stand still and not improve its overall health score.
If you want to live in the healthiest state in America, you'll need to move to Vermont. That top rating is followed by Hawaii, New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Utah. Louisiana is the least healthy state and Texas comes in near the bottom, at #46.
Overall, the US ranks 27th in healthy life expectancy compared to other countries. Japan tops the list with an average healthy life expectancy of 75 years, while the US life expectancy is 69 years.

Person claiming to be Brandian Ross' sister goes racist "defending" Ross

O'Dell shot a 6-under-par 66 to push his lead to four strokes as play moved to the par 72 Greenbrier Course. Round three continues on that layout today before moving back to the Old White TPC for the fourth and final round.
O'Dell stands at 8-under after 36 holes of play.

Council should focus on clearing ice
10:00am Wednesday 30th January 2013 in Letters
Sir – Two years ago, the then leader of Oxfordshire County Council, Keith Mitchell, announced in your pages (Gazette Letters, January 6, 2010), his solution to the problem of icy pavements in Witney: "If every householder and every shopkeeper took some salt and a shovel and cleared the area of pavement in front of their home or shop, we might have regained some of the spirit that has kept this island free for 1,000 years."
The problem has not been solved this winter. Witney's pavements are more dangerous than ever.
Oxfordshire County Council is not actually responsible for keeping this island free for 1,000 years; it is responsible for keeping Witney's pavements clear of ice for the winter.
The good folk of Witney have suffered enough from this council's bizarre approach to transport in the town.
What the council spent on its ill-advised Cogges Link Road proposal would have kept Witney's pavements free from ice for at least 1,000 years.

Groundhog; San Diego is in for 6 more weeks of winter
SAN DIEGO -- Punxsutawney Phil climbed from his burrow for his 126th prognostication Thursday morning in front of on-lookers only to see his shadow which means six more weeks of winter.
If you were to take a look back at Phil's track record you might be surprised. Phil's groundhog forecast has only been right 39 percent of the time, according to one study.
In this case, residents of San Diego County hope that Phil is right, because the winter weather has been just about perfect.
"Last weekend, we went hiking at Torrey Pines and then we laid out on the beach," said
San Diego resident Tori Mullens.
What happened to winter-like weather in San Diego? November started off with a bang and brought in above average rainfall at Lindbergh Field.
Then, the jet stream took a nose dive southward and brought cold air with it in December. Some really cold overnight lows were felt across San Diego County in the first two and a half weeks.
In the month of January, San Diego's weather pattern shifted, high pressure took over.
"We started to roll around into a warmer period to end the year. January was a really
nice month overall. We were below average rainfall wise and were above average temperature wise," said National Weather Service Meteorologist Mark Moede.

Greetings from the land of Sand and Brutal Repression. I bring great news my brothers in orange! Those from Baltimore Beatdown will know of my amazing ability involving Baltimore sports...
Whenever I cannot physically watch any of the regular season and post season of one of our franchises, they win it all. For the Ravens, I was in bootcamp for the 2000 season and stuck in Australia for the last Super Bowl victory.
I am happy to share that I just found out I will be force to work in the Middle East until February (which considering I was suppose to leave July 7th...I am borderline homicidal).
But what fucking blows for me, MUST be great news for ORIOLES NATION!!!!!
My only request...that one of you...please record the playoffs as I am certain they will make Orioles history.

Ok... So three days late and $63.50 short.
Anyway. As I sure some of you may have remembered I had tickets to the game on the 23rd. My wife planned a big day in Baltimore for me for our 4th anniversary (which was the 24th, Happy Birthday Duck).
Well, I had no idea what she had planned for me until Sunday after our dolphin excursion at the Aquarium (which WAS really neat, BTW). Then she tells me what we are doing... She got tickets to the "behind the scenes tour" at Camden Yards (7.00 a ticket, plus fees, so more like 10.75 a ticket, but still WORTH EVERY PENNY). It was awesome. I took some pictures, but unfortunately we had a giant finger print the lens so most the pictures look ghosted (damn kids). Anyway. Here they are.
|Panoramic View from the Bullpen Picnic Area
|Random Orange seat in right-center field (More on this later)
|1983 World Series Trophy and Team Pictures
|Panoramic View from a left field club box
|Orioles retired jerseys in the Hall of Fame Lounge
|Cal Ripken's retired jersey
|The smaller building in the background is St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys, where Babe Ruth learned to play baseball... with a right-handed glove-he was left-handed.
|Behind the scenes in the press area, this is the daily game board. As you can see, it has the lineups, the time of first pitch, temperature at the start of the game, attendance, length of the game, and the umpires for the game, as well as the score of the game. After the last game of the season they don't erase it until the first game of the next season.
|This me... standing where Jim Palmer stands when on camera during broadcasts... it's about three feet behind where they sit when broadcasting.
|This the view from the Sportswriters' press box. Nice seats, huh?
|A couple of guys playing catch
|The view from the tunnel behind home plate.
|The visitor's on-deck circle
|My wonderful, beautiful wife IN the visitor's dugout... the O's dugout was being worked on (much like the rest of Birdland).
|Panoramic view from inside the visitor's dugout.
|Me, in the visitor's dugout.
|The orange seat in right-center field. This is where Eddie Murray hit his 500th homerun. It was late and rainy so it wasn't very crowded and the guy who got that ball sold it two weeks later for half a million dollars.
|ANOTHER orange seat (there are only two of them in Camden Yards)... this one is where Cal Ripken hit his 278th HR as a shortstop, setting the then record. He continues to hold the record for HR's by a shortstop with 345. A-Rod has 344 as a shortstop, but thanks to MFY he's now at third base.
|The scoreboard from the visitor's dugout.
|Me and my bride in the visitor's dugout.
|Us, ON the field... well, on the warning track in front of the field (we weren't allowed on The Grass, it was the only rule).
|Down the left field line.
|The O's on-deck circle
|The O's dugout.
|Kenny Griffey Jr.'s plaque in the Warehouse wall where he hit it during the '93 all-star game homerun derby. The footage is wrong... it's being corrected at 465 feet.
|Interstate 395... Cal Ripken Way.
Did you know... The Warehouse's 3.5 million bricks had to be cleaned by hand and that it took crews 30 months to do it when Camden Yards was being built? Yeah, they were to susceptible to power-washing. That must have sucked!
That's all cool, and well and good, but the single most KICKASS thing that she did for me was this...
And the really cool thing about it... she said she sent it to him and he returned it signed within a week. Nick Rocks! So does Mrs. Toe!
On to the game: We got there early to see the O's finish up BP and watch the Jays take BP. There were some old timers from the '83 Series team signing autographs. I got Al Bumbry's but the lines were crazy so that's all I got.
Apparently I made it into The Sun, or thesun.com... so that's cool, I guess.
It was a great game, and the pregame ceremony was cool. It was nice to see the old guys, even though I wasn't really aware what was going on in 1983. I got pics of the guys walking on the Orange carpet but they're a little lacking.
...and then, with two outs in the top of the sixth--THE RAINS CAME!!!
But it was ok, for us, because we were in section 43 covered by the second deck. So we stayed nice and dry. Of course the game ended up being suspended and we couldn't get back the next day to finish it up, but it turns out the O's are giving anyone who couldn't get back to the completion of the game a free upper level ticket to any game in September (at least that's what tickemaster told me, I have yet to confirm that with 888-848-BIRD). We'll definitely pick one. Maybe by then I'll get to see some of the REAL youngins.
So that was my day in ol' B'more. All in all a great day.

State of the State: Gov. Patrick talks transportation, taxes and education [VIDEO]
In his annual State of the Commonwealth address, Governor Deval Patrick last night called for $1.9 billion in new revenue to support investments in transportation and education, recommending an increase in the state income tax to 6.25 percent, and an accompanying decrease in the sales tax to 4.5 percent.
"There's no good time to raise taxes… I know how tough times have been on the people and families of the Commonwealth," Patrick said. "I would not ask if I did not believe in my heart that investing meaningfully today in education and transportation will significantly improve our economic future. But because we all have a stake in that future, we should all contribute to paying for it."
The governor's proposal, if accepted by the Legislature, would represent one of the largest tax increases in recent memory, raising the income tax to a level unseen since at least before the 1967, according to records from the Department of Revenue.
It would also be the first time the governor, or Legislative leaders, broached the topic of raising broad-based taxes since 2009 when the sales tax was increased to 6.25 percent.
Watch Patrick's State of the Commonwealth address below:
There did not seem to be much support in the social media-sphere, with frustrated tax payers taking to Twitter to unleash their outrage:

London - Katy Perry is reportedly furious with estranged husband Russell Brand after finding out that he had been secretly making sex tapes while they were married.
The 27 year-old singer, who split from her husband of only 14 months in December 2011 allegedly found kinky videos of the British comic performing 'air sex' made while they were a couple.
According to the Daily Star, air sex is a Japanese performance activity to music, which involves filming yourself pretending to have sex with someone fully clothed.
"Katy couldn't believe it,†a source told the paper.
"She found a box of unlabelled DVDs after he'd moved out. She had a look to see what they were and was majorly unimpressed.â€
"Katy had no idea he'd been getting up to 'air sex' and angrily posted them straight back,†the source added.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
Add beautiful mood lighting at outdoor gatherings. Why not craft up a set to use this summer.
Yet consider this; between 1950 and 1980, the world's population doubled, but the demand on its water tripled. And there's no letup in sight.
A couple of years ago, I remember residents in and around Atlanta were told that their sole source of water was going to dry up in less than five months. Can you imagine? Over five million people being told in the height of a drought, that all the water they depended on for washing, bathing, drinking and irrigating their lawns and gardens was going to be gone? Those were scary times.
In order to conserve what little water was available, total watering bans were put in effect. Not just restrictions but all-out bans. Plants died, lawns burned up and countless landscaping companies went out of business. Even the nations largest chain of garden centers filed for bankruptcy.
Yet, even in the midst of the devastating impact this lack of water had, one silver lining stands out. I had one Atlanta Master Gardener friend who managed to keep all of her most precious plants (and she had many) alive through all those months of heat and full-blown watering bans. And she credits one primary source for the bulk of keeping her plants alive; her rain barrels! She had several.
Although the rain came all too infrequently, the water collected in her Fiskars rain barrels proved to be ample for periodic irrigation. It doesn't take a lot of rain to fill a barrel. Here's why; just one-tenth of an inch of rain over a thousand square feet of roof surface can fill a 65 gallon rain barrel. Attach several barrels to your multiple downspouts and anyone can save significant amounts of that precious water for a sunny day.
Although there's nothing overly sophisticated about rain barrels, their ease of use has improved greatly over the last few years, as has their accessibility through retail and online sources. Today, contemporary barrels are attractive and more user friendly than ever. Take for example Fiskars' designs that come with a convenient and unique rainwater diverter. Once the barrel fills, there's no worry of it constantly overflowing. Once full, water is redirected back to the downspout and continues on its normal path.
Installing rain-barrels are easier than ever too. If you're just placing one, it's a good idea to locate it closest to where you'll use it the most. But the most important consideration is to make sure you provide a stable and sturdy base. Water weighs eight pounds per gallon. A tight-fitting lid for safety is also a must.
Harvesting the water is as simple as placing a watering can under the built in spigot. Or, you can attach a hose and let gravity carry the water to destinations further away. With enough gravity, you can even use your harvested water with a soaker hose.
Other advantages of using harvested rainwater
Collecting and storing rainwater can help avoid erosion, reduce chemical runoff and contamination from fertilizers and pesticides as water moves across the property. Rainwater is also free of salts and minerals, chlorine and fluoride. And the more water used from harvested sources means less money and energy used to obtain the same water from municipal sources.
The Caveats
Not all parts of the country allow the unencumbered collection of rainwater. Laws are easing greatly but still worth looking into before you take the final plunge. The states in the news most often regarding restrictions are Utah, Colorado and Washington.
That first flush of rain can include bird droppings, debris and other pollutants. You may want to consider a device that diverts this first flush before it enters your rain barrel.
Algae growth within a rain barrel is possible but its growth can be greatly inhibited by using opaque designs like the Fiskars' models. Placing them out of direct sunlight also greatly reduces the possibility of buildup.
With so many attractive designs to choose from, combined with their relative low-cost, rain barrels are like having money in the bank, especially if they can help save some of those favorite, and likely expensive plants.

Orlando Condos for Rent Near Disney
When someone mentions a Florida vacation, most people think of Orlando as the ideal destination. Whether you're looking for a fun getaway with friends, a great honeymoon, a place to watch your kids laugh with glee, or a means of getting in touch with your child within, Orlando has something for everyone. Fortunately, there are plenty of Orlando condos for rent near Disney.
Amusement Parks Galore
Orlando, the amusement park mecca, has everything you can possibly imagine when it comes to attractions. Start with Universal Studios and be sure to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which opened in 2010. Be amazed by the shows and encounters with underwater animals available at SeaWorld. Get your adrenaline pumping with the roller coasters and other rides at Busch Gardens and experience the movies at Islands of Adventure.
Of course, no trip to Orlando is complete without adding Disney World and all it has to offer to your itinerary. Orlando condos for rent near Disney put you in the middle of the action. Take the kids to the Magic Kingdom to ride Dumbo, experience the Small World, watch the night show over Cinderella's castle and more. Learn about other cultures at the Epcot Center, have a zoo adventure at Animal Kingdom and do a little shopping in Downtown Disney. You won't be disappointed.
Save Money with a Vacation Rental
When making your trip plans for an Orlando vacation, your first thought may be booking a hotel; however, Orlando condos for rent near Disney will provide you with much more space and comfort. Not only do you have to share a small living space and bathroom when you share a hotel room, but you have to share all of the common areas with the other strangers staying there too. Imagine your whole traveling party staying together with their own private space, but living and dining areas available for everyone to come together and enjoy each other's company. Wouldn't that be so nice?
Orlando condos for rent near Disney will also save you some money on your traveling expenses. Not only are the rates comparable to hotels, but you'll also have a fully-equipped kitchen you can utilize by dining in rather than going out for every meal.
Be sure to plan for enough time when you plan your vacation to take in all that Orlando has to offer; and don't forget to relax in luxury at the end of the day in an Orlando vacation rental.

A Preview of OpenOffice 2.0
Office Opening
At first glance,OpenOffice 2.0 might scare current users with a GUI that closely resembles Microsoft's competitor product. But on closer inspection, the beast turns out to be a beauty.
About a year after the release of OpenOffice version 1.1, version 2.0 is set to hit the stage. The scope of the latest OpenOffice offering has been clear since August 2004, when the feature freeze was introduced. Although the final release may not be with us until March 2005, major changes are unlikely, so now is a good time for a sneak preview. The changes start with the installation. The previously well-hidden network installation option, in the form of a multiuser setup, is now the default and selectable in the GUI setup. Most users will not notice the difference, although the network install is a lifesaver for admins.

New Chairlift for Fernie's 50th Adds Vert (04-Sep-11)
A new lift at Fernie in British Columbia will increase the famous Canadian resort's skiable....
A new lift at Fernie in British Columbia will increase the famous Canadian resort's skiable vertical to 3,550 feet in time for its 50th anniversary season this winter.
The Polar Peak Lift, will add onto the already incredible vertical at Fernie Alpine Resort, now giving the ski resort 3550 vertical feet with 2500 acres of terrain over five Alpine bowls and a reputation for some of the deepest snow in the Rockies.
"With Fernie regularly laden with the Deepest Snow in the Canadian Rockies this past winter was no exception with a near record snowfall of over 37 feet!" says Matt Mosteller. Once the snow was cleared, Fernie Alpine Resort began construction of the new Polar Peak Lift with the completion date ready for skiers and riders to enjoy in the 2011/12 winter ski season.
The Polar Peak lift is the only major new lift installation in the BC Rockies for this winter and one of a few new lift installations in North America. It is believed that it is the only new lift installation going to a mountain top anywhere on the continent for this upcoming winter.
"This lift will provide spectacular views of peaks, valleys and lakes from Lake Koocanusa in the Southwest to the spine of the Canadian Rockies looking up the Elk Valley all the way into Kananaskis Country/Banff National Park" added Mosteller.
The Polar Peak Lift adds an above tree-line Bowl skiing experience with over 22 new runs and the experience of skiing off the summit of one of the highest peaks in the Lizard Range, Polar Peak.
Many will enjoy making laps of the new Polar Peak Lift or one can enjoy the thigh burning fun of skiing some of the longest runs in the Canadian Rockies and 3550 vertical feet. In addition to the new Polar Peak Lift, Fernie Alpine Resort offers nine other lifts and 140 marked runs – now having the most Ski Runs in the Canadian Rockies!
In addition to the increased terrain, increased vertical and summit experience is the significant enhancement to the resort's snow control efforts. The Polar Peak Lift provides quick access to the various ridge-lines above the major alpine bowls. This quicker access for Ski Patrol will speed up efforts to open up terrain following the regular snowfalls Fernie Alpine Resort receives.

News: Ja Rule Confesses His Guilt, "They Need Daddy & Daddy F*cked Up"
Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 8:13AM
On the brink of serving a two-year jail sentence on a gun conviction, rapper Ja Rule recently reflected on his situation and confessed the guilt he has for his family.
Upset with himself, Rule thought about not being physically present for his family.
"I'm disappointed," Rule said in an interview. "I'm mad at myself. My daughter, she's 15 right now. These are her last couple of years. She's about to graduate from high school, and she's going to college. She needs her father. My boys really need me right now too, as well as my wife. They need Daddy, and Daddy f*ced up...This is something that's bad, but there's gotta be some good that comes out of it. Even if there are other kids that look at me and say, 'Let me put my burner down.' Even if it's that, then there is something learned from my mistakes." (MTV)
In addition to jail, Rule recently made headlines for failing to file federal taxes over the course of five years.
Rapper Ja Rule could go to prison for three years but likely will be fined after admitting in federal court in Newark today that he ducked $1.1 million in federal income taxes on nearly $4.4 million in royalties and live performance payments over five years. U.S. Magistrate Judge Patty Shwartz allowed 35-year-old Jeffrey Atkins, who lives in the tony Bergen community of Saddle River, to remain free on $500,000 bail pending a scheduled June 13 sentencing. (Cliffview Pilot)
Last month, a judge delayed Rule's gun possession case sentencing in light of the tax situation.
Ja Rule is set to go to prison in June in a New York City gun case. On Wednesday, a judge set a June 8 date for the platinum-selling rapper-actor's sentencing. His lawyer says he'll spend the intervening months finishing a new album, "Renaissance Project," and taking care of tax matters. The 35-year-old performer pleaded guilty in December to attempted weapon possession. He agreed to a two-year prison term. (Wall Street Journal)
Until his June sentencing, Rule is planning on the upcoming release of his next album.
"We in Miami doing it, putting the finishing touches on the [Renaissance] project," Rule said in an interview. "Finishing that up and we're getting started on [Pain Is Love 2]. Yeah, Pain Is Love 2. Yeah, it's about to go down. The Renaissance Project, it's got a real soulful vibe, a real music vibe. It's rider music. When you listen to the album, it'll put you in a different zone -- I dealt with the women on the album, you know, different than what you're used to. It's kind of like grown-up conversation. When you're young and you're making records towards the ladies, sometimes they can be rather derogatory. 'B*tch, h*e this, B*tch, that.' So you know, with some of the records on this album, they're more on an intellectual level when I'm talking to the ladies. It's more of a relationship that we've been in for a long time that we know how to talk to each other verbally..." (Rule York)

Are you lacking peace? Are you feeling stressed? This prayerful Christian hymn written by John Greenleaf Whittier is a wonderful prayer for stress relief. It assures us that with confidence, trust, and rest, we can be led by God's still small voice of calm.
Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our fev'rish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind;
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper rev'rence, praise.
In simple trust like theirs who heard,
Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow Thee.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
Breathe thru the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak thru the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm.
--John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892
