Josey Berglund feels stuck. She's never moved from Gull Lake, Minn.; her younger sister married a man she was once interested in; and her best friend, Chase, is engaged. When Josey hears a missionary speak, she feels a gentle nudging from God that turns into a shove. Before she knows it, Josey heads off to Moscow to teach English.
Missionary life isn't what Josey imagined, though, and she wonders if she's made a mistake. And what about the now single Chase? Josey has strong feelings for him, but he's on another side of the world.
Warren's fantastic book combines humor, romance and superb spiritual insight. The first-person narrative allows the reader to really know Josey and experience life right alongside her. Filled with life lessons, this book is not to be missed. (Jun., 304 pp., $13.95)

Browser Tray Help (IE 5.50.4807.2300IC; ME)
IE is putting 2 copies of the icons just to the right of the 'start' button at the bottom of the screen. I think this is referred to as Quick Launch area or system tray area. Please enlighten me as to terminology.
Can anyone suggest why this is happening and what to do to correct it?
If I right click and delete an icon, it is deleted from both groups.
Any and all assistance greatly appreciated and gratefully received.

Don't know why this is happening, esp in ME. In 2k and XP you'd go to
{Drive}ocuments and Settings{User Name}Application DataMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick Launch and take the extraneous ones out. Might be worth a try in ME.
If they're in the Systray (on the right of your screen) either you've selected an option when installing or running the app to put one there, or the program does it automatically. If the latter, you'd need to stop it running at startup by using MSCONFIG or similar.

Good job babe
kicker-Interview with Mats Hummels - 30. September 2013
kicker: Mr. Hummels, is it possible that your girlfriend Cathy, as lifestyle-reporter for sky, currently enjoys football more a than you?
Hummels: How do you get the idea that I did not have fun?
kicker: Could we not take your tormented face, when substituted in Naples, as kind of a symbol of your season so far?
Hummels: There has been written a lot in the past few weeks. Also, that I have a form crisis, which I can not confirm. On the pitch I have fun. Not being able to play and sit in front of the TV, that's what I can't.
kicker : Last year, in an Interview with WAZ, you said your performance was "far below at what I imagined". How would you rate your performance currently?
Hummels: I would describe it with "solid". Last year, I made many big mistakes before goals. Like bad passes or simply lost duels. I cut out the mistakes. I only had a negative outlier in Frankfurt. What's still missing are positive outliers. Matches, where everything works.
kicker: In the club you have a significantly higher standing than in the national team. Why is that so?
Hummels: If you work together for years, train and play together, you have a very different relationship from when you see each other only every four or six weeks for seven days. It so happens, that the confidence which I feel in the club is not always given in the national team .
kicker: Do you have to work harder and more than others in order to gain and keep a certain status in the DFB-team?
Hummels: I do believe that I had to work harder for my standing than others. I had to wait a long time before I got nominated and got to play, despite good performances at club level. My feeling tells me that others got promoted faster than me.
kicker: When you played, you offered quite a few objectionable performances. Do you lack consistency in the national team?
Hummels: I know, that I did not only have good games in the DFB-team. But most of the poor performances were friendlies, where the defense traditionally looks bad. No matter who plays. Then, the entire team just does not defend as consistently as they should.
kicker: Why is the chemistry between the coach and you so wrong?
Hummels: The chemistry is definitely right. The coach let me play at the EURO. He would not have done this, if he thought that I would screw the tournament. Our relationship is completely fine.
kicker: Why is it then that Löw attacks you so often?
Hummels: I'm just a different type than the central defender who played five or six years ago in the national team. This might also be a change for the coach. But in the end, I'm the one who has to adapt to the national team.
kicker: Players like Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker get covered by Löw during difficult phases. Your mistakes get publicly reproached by the coach. Has he double standards?
Hummels: It may be, that the criticism on me is clearer and more direct than on other players. I have no problem, when I am criticized for the mistakes I made. I myself am my harshest critic.
kicker: Do you not put into practice what Löw asks for?
Hummels: At least in the game against Paraguay, that was the problem. I stood too high - and completely wrong during the third goal. During the game I saw the situation completely differently from how it really was. About the first goal, which was also claimed to be my fault, I have my own opinion …
kicker: Does Löw give you concrete evidence, where you have to improve yourself ?
Hummels: The Communication is very good and pleasant. After the video session before the Austria match, the coach has shown me a few scenes alone, and very clearly told me what he expected from me.
kicker: You are a representative of a mature generation of players, and you reserve yourself the right of your own opinion. Do you offend people in the national team with that?
Hummels: That may be possible. The DFB doesn't approve of criticism. That's okay too. I don't think it's bad if you criticize me. In return, I come forward when I think something is not perfect. But I can not remember any great controversy.
kicker: When Löw publicly criticized you after the EURO-loss against Italy, you striked back.
Hummels: For good reason. The impression was created that I was responsible for our loss. The 0:1 my fault, but definitely not the 0:2. But it was not spoken about that.
kicker: Against Austria and the Faroe Islands Löw granted you not even a single minute of playing time. Do you see that as encouragement - or as punishment for your poor performance against Paraguay?
Hummels: First of all, I think that Jerome Boateng deserved a chance because of the performance he has shown. So there was one man too many on board against Austria. I expected that I would be the one. From this I draw the big motivation to play so good in the next few months, that the coach can not get past me: During the World Cup there will be no other option for him than me.
kicker: Do you expect Mertesacker and Boateng will start in the last two World Cup qualifiers against Ireland and Sweden?
Hummels: I assume so. The two have done well against Austria. It would be no great surprise to me when the coach sets up the defense like in the last matches.
kicker: How hard is it to put up with that?
Hummels: I just do not like to sit on the bench. To just watch the match injured, like against Nuremberg, is hell for me. There is nothing I'd rather do than playing football.
kicker: Why is the relationship between Löw and the Dortmund professionals so complicated?
Hummels: I don't think it's his fault. The hard core of the nationalteam exists since 2006. New players joined the team only occasionally, one from this club, one from another club. And then the whole BVB-block came out of nothing. This has brought a major change in the national team for the first time. And everyone has to adjust to this.

One of my favorite things about watching Let's Players is discovering new games to play, especially indie games that have something new or unique to offer, either in its aesthetic or its narrative. When Cry began playing The Cat Lady, a point-and-click horror adventure game, I learned that Rem Michalski offered both in his game. I was very fortunate to be able to pick his brain in this interview, and trust me, he has plenty of personal insights and stories to share.

Today, Irrational Games released the first 5 minutes of Bioshock Infinite to get us hyped for its upcoming release.
For those avoiding spoilers, just know that it's pretty nostalgic and you can instead pass the time seeing if the alternate box cover you picked will end up on the reverse side. And don't fret if it didn't, because eventually, more have been promised to be available to choose from and print out down the line.
After what felt like a long spell of hardly any Bioshock-related news, Bioshock Infinite needed to pick up momentum again and did just that by releasing their Beast of America trailer, with content voted by their Facebook followers.
And of course, since a single trailer can't the be the only thing to get the ball rolling again, collectors will love what they have in store in their Premium and Ultimate Songbird edition sets, now available to pre-order. And that's not all: Starting today, those who already pre-ordered the game will be able to play nearly 60 puzzles, all free, to earn in-game items.
How's that for getting back on the radar?
In case you still don't have enough Resident Evil this autumn, like Retribution in theaters now, Damnation (September 26th), and RE6 (October 2nd), Universal Studios Japan gets a nightly Resident Evil attraction as a part of its Halloween Horror Nights.
Universal Studios Japan will be overrun with zombies. The dead will walk the Earth, and Resident Evil will come to life.
Universal Studios is once again teaming with Capcom (previously the two did a live-sized Monster Hunter attraction) for "Halloween Horror Night". Until November 11, the theme park will turn into Resident Evil at night. So, the Terminator 2 Cyberdyne Systems building becomes the Umbrella Corporation and a walk through attraction, while the New York City area doubles as Raccoon City, thanks to some fancy projection mapping. The recently opened Biohazard Cafe and Grill in Tokyo also used 3D projection mapping effects to bring creatures to life.
Those brave enough to participate can try to navigate their way through the area—which is overrun with zombies and the T-virus!
Besides the zombies and creatures, there will even be actors playing RE characters such as Jill Valentine and Clare Redfield.
Man, what I'd give to go to Japan right now… But hey, at least we get Silent Hill during Halloween Horror Nights state-side!
Good to see that more horror games are becoming cool attractions!
Be sure to check out more photos and info on EuroGamer, Gadget Helpline, and Tumblr.
Last year, I JOKED about Silent Hill becoming a haunted attraction. And I know folks who've been itching for a Silent Hill attraction for YEARS. But now it's been confirmed at Comic Con that Silent Hill WILL be getting a maze at Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood.
Oh gawd.
There's a lot more to the Bioshock series than Rapture, the fallen utopia under the sea, evident by 2K Games currently working on the much anticipated Bioshock Infinite, where the still-alive city of Columbia soars through the sky. You can't help but still be inspired by the unique setting that put the series on the map though and until I get my hands on Infinite, Rapture is going to turn my imagination gears.
As a screenwriting major, I was fascinated by the screen adaptation class my friend took where one of the class assignments was to turn a video game into a ride. When I took that class at my university, however, I never got such an assignment and gosh darn it, I still want to do it. But wouldn't turning Bioshock into a ride be tacky? And didn't Andrew Ryan already do that with Ryan Amusements? Well, you can't top whacking his animatronic with a golf club, but I chose the impossible…
I chose… To turn Rapture into a different kind of theme park attraction.
So, I've been told over and over by game developers that the best playtesters are children, to put it one way. They're more likely to do the unexpected, are brutally honest, and if you're able to maintain their attention, you can maintain practically anyone's attention. I know game developers who even brag about having their children play their games meant for more mature gamers, to show that if even their kids can have a ball, their games can be accessible no matter what age group you're in, broadening the audience. And we wouldn't be gamers if we never found interesting games to enjoy, now would we?
With video games like Skullgirls and the soon-to-come Dust: An Elysian Tail, it's been fascinating seeing how hand-drawn animations can be incorporated into gameplay with today's technology. Since mobile devices are part of the new frontier, check out this game, The Act.
Or rather, interactive animation drawn by animators who've worked with Disney at some point. You wouldn't be able to tell from the trailer, but in every scene, you're tasked to help Edgar keep up appearances by sliding your finger across the screen to shift his emotions, affect his actions, and the intensity of such.
You can get this roughly 30-40 minute game in the iTunes store for $3, other digital stores getting it later.
So by now, you're probably aware of the Tomb Raider reboot, where our protagonist Lara Croft is being given a huge makeover to make her much more memorable beyond her mammaries. Make her more look more human instead of a supermodel with wonky proportions: Check. Make her have a story beyond… What did she have beyond boobs again? A dead mother?
Well, from the trailers, we know that this Lara is meant to be a relatable human than some Mary Sue-ish, unstoppable force we've known her for. With that in mind, executive producer Ron Rosenberg recently explained that the core intent behind the new Lara is the want and need to protect her. Totally understandable, she went through a lot of unpleasant stuff and we all want to root for the heroes we play. Unfortunately, this quote struck a really bad chord with many…
In the new Tomb Raider, Lara Croft will suffer. Her best friend will be kidnapped. She'll get taken prisoner by island scavengers. And then, Rosenberg says, those scavengers will try to rape her.
Hoooo boy… Lets look deeper into this before our emotions get the best of us, after the jump.

PICARD and HUGH regard each other. Neither says anything for a moment. HUGH seems bewildered by a dawning recognition.
HUGH: Locutus.
PICARD realizes that HUGH recognizes him. This presents him with an opportunity. He looks directly at the Borg.
PICARD: Yes. I am Locutus of Borg.
HUGH: (confused) Why are you here?
PICARD: This is a primitive culture. I am here to facilitate its incorporation. Identify yourself.
HUGH: Hugh.
PICARD: Identify yourself.
HUGH: We are Hugh.
PICARD: This is not a Borg identification.
HUGH: (hesitates, trying to reassess himself) Third of five.
PICARD: This culture will be assimilated.
HUGH: (another hesitation) They do not wish it.
PICARD: Irrelevant.
HUGH: They will resist us.
PICARD: Resistance is futile.
HUGH: Resistance… is not futile.
PICARD glares sternly at him. HUGH does not back down.
HUGH: Some have escaped.
PICARD: They will be found. It is inevitable. All will be assimilated.
HUGH: Must Geordi be assimilated?
PICARD: (amazed) Yes.
BORG: (hesitates, clearly uncomfortable) He does not wish it. He would rather die than be assimilated.
PICARD: Then he will die.
HUGH: (looks up, disturbed) No. Geordi must not die. Geordi is a friend.
PICARD: You will assist us to assimilate this vessel. You are Borg. You will assist us.
HUGH: I will not.
PICARD stares at him, having heard HUGH say the word "I." He backs off from his Locutus role, amazed by what the Borg is manifesting.
PICARD: What did you say?
HUGH: I will not assist you.
HUGH: Geordi must not be assimilated.
PICARD: But you are Borg.
HUGH: (another pause) No. I am Hugh.
PICARD stares at him. HUGH has utterly taken him aback. Now PICARD is in a true dilemma.

good..where u been hiding
What a beautiful thing..
Who knew toddlers had empathy? I didn't. Its a beautiful thing to witness. Sadly after being sick for the past three weeks I have been left with a disgusting post nasal drip. The effects are I hurl every morning and night phlem. Yes disgusting..i'm aware. Last night I was coughing my lungs out like a chain smoker and ran to assume position. Next thing I notice Lily got out of bed and was standing next to me rubbing my leg asking telling me "Ok Mami?". I looked at this tiny toddler who was looking to comfort me in my time of need and told her yes baby i'm ok. So sweet. Who knew? Normally this tiny woman is known as a "me me me" dictator. After researching I found on Parents.com
"Studies show that around 2 years of age, children start to show genuine empathy, understanding how other people feel even when they don't feel the same way themselves. And not only do they feel another person's pain, but they actually try to soothe it."
What can a parent do to expand this beautiful trait and help cultivate this tiny human's sensitive side? Below are some suggestions to help lead us parents in the right path.
1. Show them the world. Being empathetic starts with being sensitive to what's going on in the world around us. Showing your kids how you interact with others nurtures a desire to explore relationships.
2. Encourage communication. A toddler's vocabulary and ability to comprehend a wide range of feelings are limited, so you need to verbalize emotions for her. For example, if your child's trip to the zoo is canceled, you could say, "I can tell you're disappointed. I also feel that way when my plans are canceled." You can also point out feelings in others. If you see a boy sitting alone at the park, you could say, "He looks lonely. I hope he makes a friend."
3. Role play. Creative role-playing with puppets or dolls is a wonderful way for children to investigate others' feelings. If you want to explore envy, for example, have one puppet receive a gift while another gets nothing. Then ask your child how the puppet without a present feels. Role-playing is also a good way to teach kids how to offer comfort to others.
4. Temper your expectations. Empathy is very much a work in progress for toddlers. Some children understand it without much effort; other kids need more practice. Don't forget that egocentrism is normal for a toddler. They can't be empathetic and unselfish all the time.

What is about a sick toddler that makes all hell break loose? Perhaps its the fact that it comes at you out of nowhere. One minute you are luxuriating in the calm silence of sleep, tucked in your covers, dreaming of being on that island relaxing with a pinacolada in hand. Then all hell breaks loose. You hear mommy mommy..you squint your eyes open to see its only 5am…then you hear that noise right before you know throw up is coming but you not being able to block it because your reflexed are too slow and don't really know what is going on. At this point its too late. The hurl has landed on portions of your arm, maybe chest, and that wonderful smell of rotten milk is in the air. It has invaded your sheets and both you and your babys clothes. Lovely. Good Morning!
I stripped the bed and put Lily in the shower to wash off that nasty milk smell. Then I don't know why I gave her a bottle of milk. Knowing deep inside that little voice was saying… don't give a sick baby milk! But when I offered her the option of soymilk she took one sip and looked at me in disgust stating "No mommy.. Yuck" followed by non stop requests of Leche!! I caved in. 10 minutes later..her toddler bed was covered in throw up again. Once again..another shower for Lily and me mumbling to myself incoherant nonsense. I just kept the calm its ok baby serene facade because I didn't want to further upset her. Please keep in mind this all happened before 7am. After this insanity I ran around like a crazy woman getting myself ready for work. I handed her over to P mulling over the guilt of going to work and went on with my day.
Since then it has been a mess. She won't eat! But I worry am I starving her? I mean I offer her stuff but she quickly replies no. The only thing that I do offer that she wants is Cheerios and water. Sounds like a toddler jail diet to me. So I went to searching..just what do you give a sick toddler. What can they eat? What will help? I mean kids don't come with owners manuals. Here is what I came up with to help other confused, sleep deprived parents..
Take a breath..and remember this will pass..now onward to the informative information..
If your child has: Diarrhea
Serve: Clear fluids, such as water, broth (for kids over 1), or electrolyte solutions, to prevent dehydration (avoid juice and soft drinks- the sugar can worsen diarrhea); a normal diet that includes such binding foods as rice, ripe bananas, and cooked veggies.
If your child has: Constipation
Serve: Prunes or prune juice to stimulate bowel function; high-fiber foods, such as fresh apples, oranges, carrots, and celery; water to keep stools regular.
If your child has: A fever
Serve: A regular diet, but since feverish kids generally eat very little, add dips, sauces, or butter to increase every bite?s caloric density; plenty of fluids.
If your child has: A sore throat
Serve: Hot noncaffeinated tea with honey (but only for children over 1); high-calorie ice-cream smoothies.
If your child has: A stuffy nose
Serve: Warm foods, such as chicken soup, which act as a vaporizer, loosening nasal mucus.
Hola!! Please forgive my neglect. These past couple months have gone by like a flash. I was so caught up in the dramatics of my life that I forgot about my passion of writing. Shame on me. Where else can I share fun informative motherly tips I pick up along the way and humor you with crazy moments of motherhood? So lets catch up. Lily my beautiful baby girl is a full fledged toddler. She walks, runs, asserts herself in what few words she knows, and her personality is becoming more defined with each passing day. She says no with attitude and has perfected the side eye. It is beautiful to witness since this little person was just a 8 pound helpless infant with no neck support at one time.
Im still working in the city chasing my dream of working in the business side of radio. I remind myself each day I am one step closer to where I want to be. So I keep pushing. I'm still racing home to tend to my baby girl and relieve her father of his duties while he pursues in own dreams. We are in an odd place right now. Sort of in a limbo of relationships. We took some time apart. Which was tough. Kids really change the dynamic of a relationship. Something most people never touch upon. If your base wasn't stable it will crack. You will be faced with decisions and stress you never dealt with before. Alone time is obsolite. You have to make time. Work through the drama. This of course it incredibly hard with all the temptation surrounding. In our society its easier to walk away from something hard and just make life easier. Long story short. I came to see the grass is not always greener on the other side. That is if you want something too work you need to put work in like anything in life. Nothing is easy. Life is not a tv sitcom. Relationships, motherhood, work, anything in the beginning its all shits and giggles but once the initial high wears off its real life baby. So we will see what the future brings..
Thankfully during my dramatics I always kept it together. Focused with work. Forcused on providing Lily with the care and attention she needs. As a mother you are that role model for you tiny woman you are cultivating into a lady. So I try to always keep any personal issues far away from Lily. Toddlers are demanding in there own respect and they are tiny sponges. They pick up on everything!! The last thing they need around them is extra baggage. Lol.
I agree pero minus the crazy "alleged" drug use
This is what true love looks like. Aspire to have this. That choreography!

Professor is Consultant to King of Jordan
Dr. Dagli works to promote positive interfaith relations
Dr. Caner Dagli teaches world religion, but he also has helped shape how one country approaches it.
Dagli, assistant professor of religion and philosophy, spent the 2006-2007 academic year on leave to serve as an Interfaith Affairs Consultant at the Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan.
As consultant to the to HM King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein and his Special Advisor HRH Ghazi bin Muhammad, Dagli offered advice and support to the interfaith and Islamic affairs of understanding and cooperation that Jordan seeks to accomplish.
"It is an interesting job, in that I am close to the goings on in Islamic religious affairs and am able to make a positive contribution to interfaith dialogue, which is crucial for our world today," Dagli said.
He acquired the position through a selective process, being one of a small number of scholars with interest in world religions and knowledge of Islamic studies.
"I was particularly inspired when I first learned of the rich cultural and intellectual tradition of Islam, which I had previously only practiced as a personal faith," Dagli said.
In addition to consulting, Dagli outlined speeches and statements, conducted research and wrote position papers. Dagli also worked in translating documents because of his ability to read in Persian and French as well as speak and read in Arabic and Turkish.
While in
Dagli also worked to formulate a new way to reinforce and advocate for the moderate, mainstream Islam as well as introduce a new Islamic satellite TV channel aimed at spiritual and cultural matters rather than news and political affairs. He even worked on a film documentary on a baptism site on the
The joy Dagli finds in reading, writing and teaching are reasons why this career path "was a natural choice in so many ways," he says.
His career has been a result of his interest in ultimate questions, Dagli said.
"College is a place to learn how to think; becoming proficient in a field usually comes later, so I gear my teaching towards waking people up, even if that means shocking them or provoking them," Dagli said.
Dagli's support of religious and international studies is evident in a career in education devoted to the discipline. While at
Dagli has been published in The Ringstones of Wisdom, as well as several articles and book chapters. A well-traveled scholar, Dagli has presented in

Stan Lee to Create New Superhero for India

"The opportunity to bring Stan's unparalleled experience of the superhero genre to India and enable him to collaborate with local talents to create a new Indian character is the culmination of a lifelong dream."
"What better way to conceive of a new generation of Indian superheroes than in collaboration with the Godfather of the genre? Watching Stan mingle in the pantheon of great Indian Gods and Goddesses will go down as one of the most coolest times of my life," added Liquid Co-Founder, Gotham Chopra.

Once we're honest about the trials in our life—and we quit pretending we're not as disappointed as we really are—we can begin to view them through a lens of humility. Like the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down, humility can make the toughest trial easier to swallow, simply by putting it into perspective.

and importance of racial differences in genetic effects, particularly for complex diseases" (Ioannidis et al., 2004).
Previous chapters have discussed the contributions of the social environment, behavior, psychological factors, physiological mechanisms, and genetic variation to health. This chapter highlights the fact that the contributions of these variables are not monolithic and that fundamental individual traits, such as sex/gender and race/ethnicity, can change their meaning and health impact in different contexts. These complex traits are multifaceted, and the goal is to tease apart the facets at different levels of organization in order to identify which of them directly modulate health. This is a reciprocal process, because these various domains in turn inform our understanding of sex/gender and race/ethnicity. Failing to distinguish these different facets, both in the aggregate and within each level of analysis, will compromise the ability to obtain a more fine-grained understanding of how the different aspects of these fundamental individual traits interact to influence health.
Although the terms sex and gender are often used interchangeably, they, in fact, have distinct meanings. Sex is a classification based on biological differences—for example, differences between males and females rooted in their anatomy or physiology. By contrast, gender is a classification based on the social construction (and maintenance) of cultural distinctions between males and females. Gender refers to "a social construct regarding culture-bound conventions, roles, and behaviors for, as well as relations between and among, women and men, boys and girls" (Krieger, 2003).
Differences in the health of males and females often reflect the simultaneous influence of both sex and gender. Not only can gender relations influence the expression of biological traits, but also sex-associated biological characteristics can contribute to amplify gender differentials in health (Krieger, 2003). The relative contributions of gender relations and sex-linked biology to health differences between males and females depend on the specific health outcome under consideration. In some instances, sex-linked biology is the sole determinant of a health outcome—for example gonadal digenesis among women with Turner's syndrome (due to X-monosomy). In other instances, gender relations account substantially for observed gender differentials for a given health outcome—for example the higher prevalence of needle-stick injuries among female compared to male health care workers, which is in turn attributed to the gender segregation of the health care workforce. The prevalence of HIV infection through needle-stick injury is higher among female health care workers because the majority of doctors are men, the majority of nurses and phlebotomists are women,

Hahahaha welp I guess I failed my new years resolution. Shall we try again? I think so .
This summer I will be interning at the Broadway Artists Alliance as their Media Intern. I'm extremely excited to get to interact with so many young talented people as well as current Broadway stars.
A bit disappointed that I won't be able to just lay on the beach and tan this summer with no responsibilities, but I guess I lost that privilege once i hit junior year of college.
Winter Session at school is different than I expected it to be. If I didn't have to be taking a class I definitely would not be. It would be so awesome to be here with nothing to do. Just me, my job, my computer, and the gym….oh yes…and Wings to Go.
There are a lot more people here than I expected, but with all the reading I have to get done, I feel like I can never go out. I really need to get out more…but I really need to get a good grade in this class.
I should probably write a different time and get this reading done.
New Years Resolution: Document my year
I regret not keeping up with my study abroad blog while I went to Italy last summer. I've seen people doing a picture a day on facebook for the year 2013. I want to keep a journal here.
I've never been very good at keeping to things like writing blogs/journals. I'm much more the retweet/reblog kind of person.
Let's see what happens.
UD Organization Spotlight: National Residence Hall Honorary
National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH)
The Robert Longwell-Grice Chapter at the University of Delaware
Comprised of the top 1% of leaders in residence halls, this organization strives to achieve success in its four pillars: scholastic, recognition, leadership, and service.
The focus is to increase recognition of the exceptional work of students and staff at the University of Delaware.
How to get involved: You don't have to be a member of NRHH to recognize someone's great efforts!
Through monthly awards (OTMS: Of The Months), this organization recognizes other spectacular leaders in residence halls across campus. Award winners are nominated by members of the program as well as faculty, residence hall staff, and residents. At the end of each year, all the monthly winners are voted on to become the Of The Year winners. In addition, our UD winners are forwarded to the regional and then national programs to be recognized (and possibly win) there as well!
- Has someone on your floor done an exceptional job at making the residents feel at home or involved? Nominate them here: http://otms.nrhh.org/
NRHH hosts many events through out the year to highlight leadership as well as participate in numerous community service activities.
Their most recent event was last week's blood drive! Thank you to all those who donated and volunteered. The next blood drive will take place in November!
One past event planned to be repeated this year is their participation in Toys for Tots!
How to join:
Every semester nominations are accepted and applicants are interviewed! If you want to be involved in recognizing others spectacular efforts and strive to complete the same pillars as NRHH does, this may be the place for you!

My big boy in his radio debut.
Yesterday, my wife texted me a picture of a notice I received from a debt collection agency. Yeah— great start.
It was in reference to a speeding ticket in Washington DC — in 2008. It had somehow just surfaced and I was perplexed. I looked at the license plate number and it was most definitely not my car. I've been hoodwinked!
So I called the agency, which told me to check with the MD DMV, where my car was registered in 2008. I looked for online help— and then was pointed to call the general number. After about 30 minutes on hold— with zero progress, I decided to start looking through my email for any clues.
You see, I have had the same email address (a yahoo account) since 1999.
I looked it up by date — and just browsed through emails. In no time at all, I noticed an email confirmation from my dealership. Apparently, the day of the alleged ticked I did, in fact, have my car serviced — and had a loaner.
Guilty as charged. I immediately paid the fine.
But what struck me is how core my email has become to me. Life events big and small are represented in this account — more than any other record I have (or may ever will) have. If I need tax docs, that's where I go. Information on my car, my house, insurance…you name it. This is where I investigate.
Of course I have other emails — including a gmail account to connect all the Google accounts I have and to put on my resume so I don't look antiquated. But when I have something meaningful that I might need to reference or record— into the old Yahoo it goes.
Long story short: My Yahoo email account is without question the most powerful and dependable resource for management of my life.
What an odd world we live in.
The Pew Internet Social Media Update for 2013 came out this week and boy was I…well…not shocked by any of the findings. It's mildly interesting to see gender, race and age breakdowns as well suburban/urban/rural penetration. But if you are shocked that women rule Pinterest and its mostly men on LinkedIn, you might be shocked that However, a few nuggets I thought were interesting and worth discussing.
I love to hate people on Facebook. I am judgemental. I am condescending. I am obsessed. And I'm not alone.
My close friends and I are constantly sending texts with screengrabs of the most god-awful updates, selfies and humblebrags one could imagine from people we work with, went to high school with, or somehow have become "friends" with. Each of these texts includes the comments we all wish would we could say— but never could in a public environment. Call it Facebook catharsis.
It is this backchannel amusement is most likely what keeps me tethered to Facebook. Sure I love keeping tabs on my close friends and family—but Instagram is largely taking over that need in a more friendly photo-first environment. For me and many of my peers, Facebook has become our looking glass into the world we don't really see day to day: The childhood friend who constantly dishes out unsolicited career advice, the former coworker whose unexpected political rants have both made you question your one-time kinship and question your all-or-nothing hatred of those on the other side of the political spectrum; that guy you're not entirely sure how you know…in fact, you're pretty sure you've never met them, but you do have some friends in common. But unlike your neighbor, who you see every day but are not friends with on Facebook, you can see their pictures, the music they're listening to, the places they've been and yes…quite often…the terrible things they say to an audience they might not realize is listening.
When I read aloud a post I swear makes me nauseous, my wife asks why I don't just de-friend and/or hide that person's posts. I wish I knew why I can not and do not. I have no answer, but because I have discussed this same phenomena with friends and colleagues, I believe it is something visceral and something that will keep Facebook relevant for years and years to come. The network's scale and open-structure will continue to provide the context, via these "semi-relationships," for more of this voyeuristic revulsion that we all revel in. And as long as Facebook feeds the beast with algorithms that continue to showcase the updates we read, ogle and pass around, this is only going to get worse. Or better.
So good…also love the QR codes in DC Metro where there's no wireless signals. Proving that there *is* a bigger waste of money than investing in QR code marketing: Investing in QR codes that cannot be accessed by the dozens of users around the world.

Chris Mohney, a senior vice president for content at BlackBook Media, will be the site's editor in chief. Jessica Bennett, a senior writer and editor at Newsweek and The Daily Beast, will be the executive editor and, she said, a kind of Tumblr correspondent.
"Basically, if Tumblr were a city of 42 million," Ms. Bennett said, referring to the number of Tumblr blogs that exist, "I'm trying to figure out how we cover the ideas, themes and people who live in it."
Their work — both documenting the Tumblr service and marketing it to users — will appear on the Web site's staff blog and on a separate part of tumblr.com that has not been set up yet, a Tumblr spokeswoman said Wednesday…

Heavy meta.
I am not active on Pinterest. I am not in their core demo. I have yet to cook, purchase or plan anything as a result of using the site. I believe in what they have built, expect its meteoric rise to continue and now use it as a marketing tool. Another point I think is important to make is I'm not a shiny new object guy. I test cool new platforms (I'm loving Path right now) and features, but ultimately, I invest very little time and resources to other middling social networks (ahem, Google+). So why do I believe there's something to Pinterest?
1. Products and ideas needed a home.
"Liking" and/or sharing products on Facebook has always been a bit of a square peg in a round hole scenario. Most use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, view and create updates of life moments and clever quips. Tossing in the occasional "I like this product" has always felt misplaced. In fact, those who "like" brand x and share product y are seen as annoying feed spammers, turning off their friends. It has worked in the short term because nowhere else allowed us to organize and post products and things we like in a relevant environment. That's until Pinterest came along. The entire site is predicated on organizing these objects and finding great ideas, products and offers that are all about consumption. The context is there, and people gravitate toward the opportunity to share and identify great things.
2. Organization simplified
I've heard it before. Evernote is far superior and does the same thing— beyond just links and pictures. And as an Evernote superfan, that's exactly the problem. It's too much for people to handle and manage. Pinterest's visual ease is what makes the platform social and appealing.
3. Anecdotes
When was the last time you heard someone (who was not a technophile) say "this is so much more addicting than Facebook!?" I've heard it from about six people thus far, and I include my wife in that camp. Am I addicted to it? No. Does that matter? Absolutely not. The proof is in the pudding.
4. Our addiction to chronology may be flawed.
Here's why I've loved Pinterest as a marketing tool from the get-go. You post/share something on Twitter. Give it five minutes and it's gone for good. Now move to Facebook and repeat. Sure, it will live on your profile (or Timeline)— but we all know the gold is in the newsfeed, which is fleeting. Pinterest has a feed of sorts, but the real discovery is based around how users organize and display their own boards. This provides far more evergreen content— complete with links that live beyond their 10 minutes of fame.
Time will tell, but I think there's some substance to the rise of Pinterest.
