Creating a CEO Calendar
|| Print |
|Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Create and measure success, month by month, with a CEO (or Executive) Calendar.
Being a CEO (or manager or front line worker) typically means having more things to handle than you can actually pay attention to. Most humans can track 3-5 important goals, and most businesses have 8-12 key elements.
Top executives aren't any smarter than the rest of us — they just use advanced tricks like "distributed cognition," offloading their brains, working just the right amount on just the right things.
It's easier than you think.
One great tool is the CEO (or Executive) Calendar. This directs your focus across the different areas you're responsible for, at different times throughout the year. You'll want to touch each area each month. The calendar helps you dive deeper at the right times during the year.
Using the CEO Calendar means (a) you won't have to worry about remembering, (b) you can much more easily delegate work, and (c) you can anticipate needs and delegate early. I'm astonished at how few executives do this — and how common it is among the really top performers.
For example, suppose you've set a target in May of making your senior staff "more strategic." Then in February you can assign "read over the Strategic Plan and send me a one-page summary" of how they see their department affected by it; in March you can give them feedback and ask for a revision, and in April you can ask them to draft an Operating Plan for their department based on that strategy.
By May, your "make my top people more strategic" goal is within reach based on that prior work.
Here's another. You could assign this to each person with budget authority that reports to you: "Identify one rising star in your department. Have them draft your budget. Then, give them coaching on how to do it better. Send me both their draft, and an outline of your coaching guidance." If budgets are due in month M, then you would assign this in month M minus 2, and expect it back in month M minus 1. (I.e. if budgets are due in October, then you'd assign this no later than August for a September delivery.)
With the calendar in place, you're ready to empower your assistant to remind people of their deliverables in time to get them to you. Your assistant should also be reminding you to schedule time to review these priorities.
(More ambitiously, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer describes creating an annual 'time budget' in this Wall Street Journal interview.)
Below is a sample CEO Calendar you can use as a basis of your own. The real trick is to pick Quarterly Focus topics that really make sense for who you are, what your role is, and what the firm needs from you. Within that Focus, pick three monthly topics to work on.

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (AP) -- The founder of the Jonesborough Storytelling Festival says he is retiring, but will stay involved with the event he started 40 years ago.
Jimmy Neil Smith told the Johnson City Press (http://bit.ly/UIt798 ) that he is retiring from the International Storytelling Center, but he will still work part-time and remains committed to advancing the role of storytelling locally and around the world.
Smith says he first presented his idea for a storytelling festival to the Jonesborough Civic Trust in 1972, and they encouraged him to move forward with it.
He said the first festival was held the next year. It may have been small, but he said it "ignited a storytelling revolution" that spread across the globe.

Profile: Belmont CTA Artist David Lee Csicsko
by crandell | 07/24/2009
This is the first of 8 heads to grace the tops of 4 columns that will be viewed from the street. Inside is a 6 ft tall by 20 ft mosaic of a WONDERFUL TRAIN.
David Lee Csicsko is a Chicago artist who recently won the commission for the new public art installation at the rebuilt Belmont CTA station following a competitive public selection process. The station and artwork are expected to be completed by the end of this year (view work-in-progress on the right). His Belmont 2000 work, which was originally intended as a temporary installation, had been on display at the old station since 1999 and was removed for the station construction.
What's the name of your new Belmont CTA piece, and how does it relate to the transit experience and to Lakeview?
It could be called Belmont a Go Go or WE ALL RIDE TOGETHER. The art is about showing the diversity of the people who ride the train. The main art mural is a FANTASTIC TRAIN WITH MANY RIDERS. All of the people on the train have multi-striped complexions, and the completed artwork will be just so splendid, with bright rich strong colors -- it should be a pretty exciting visit to the station.
Then of course I just think that Belmont is such a thriving community of all different people. This design is a celebration of the wonderful energy of the Belmont area & the people who live in, and travel through it. Young children, hip cats, normal Joe's & Jane's, and wise seniors, are all represented. The people featured here, in mod cameos, are diverse and fun, embracing our multicultural city and neighborhood.
I had also done the previous art at Belmont, and people were familiar with that. Since a lot of people were really fond of that art, I didn't want to go too far from that.
I really love that idea of diverse lives all coming together on the train -- for me that's a big part of what makes transit special. Are there any special transit moments you've experienced that influenced your work?
One thing that inspired my design was traveling through the great old train stations in Europe, specifically in London -- grand Victorian train stations like Victoria Station and Paddington Station. I was thinking about just how wonderful it is to take a train ride. I wanted to create a kind of fantasy of a Victorian train -- only thrown into the future of 2010.
How long have you lived in Chicago and what's your favorite thing about living here?
I've been living here since 1982, but I grew up in Hammond, Ind., so that's not very far. My favorite part of living here is that there's so much to do -- it's one of the liveliest cities anywhere in the world. And I really love spending time at the lake.
What does it mean to you to win the Belmont CTA commission?
I was just absolutely delighted. I live in the neighborhood and it was great to be a part of Belmont for the last 10 years with the Belmont 2000 work. So it's exciting to now have a permanent installation. I love being a contributor to my city and my neighborhood and am happy to have been able to contribute work to other cultural institutions in the city. Creating a lasting work of art that many people will get to enjoy is extremely fulfilling.

Baltimore Drug Trafficker Exiled to 10 Years in Prison
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. sentenced Zegory Chambers, age 28, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute marijuana and being a felon in possession of a gun.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Acting Special Agent in Charge Marino F. Vidoli of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III of the Baltimore City Police Department; and Baltimore City State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein.
According to his plea agreement, on September 28, 2011 Baltimore Police Department officers executed a search warrant at Chambers' residence and seized a loaded .22 caliber revolver, 36 individually packaged ziplock bags containing marijuana, $202, a digital scale and other drug packaging materials. Chambers had previously been convicted of a felony and was prohibited from possessing the revolver.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the ATF, Baltimore Police Department and Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office for their work in this investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Special Assistant United States Attorney Kenneth S. Clark and Assistant United States Attorney Clinton J. Fuchs, who prosecuted the case.

If you love Frida Kahlo as much as I do, then you'll want to make a beeline to the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in Long Beach to catch their new exhibit, Frida Kahlo, Her Photos.
I had the chance to preview the exhibit last week, a day before they opened the show to a sold-out crowd with a line of eager Frida fanatics snaked around the building.
This is the first time I've ever been to MOLAA, but with the cool architecture and large Frida banner front and center, it was pretty easy to spot. I was excited, to say the least.
If you are expecting to see any of Frida's paintings, you won't find any here. But what you will find are over two hundred photographs that give you an intimate look at Frida's life, such as family photographs, traditional portraits and candid shots at the Casa Azul, her home in Mexico City.
|Photo courtesy of Blogs by Latinas
I'm always amazed how emotional I become the moment I see any of Frida's art. Seeing her photos was no different. I drifted through the exhibit alone so that I could really take in these mementos of Frida's life. What an absolute treat for someone who is obsessed with the Mexican artist as much as I am.
|My husband snapped this shot of me being all emo, reading the timeline of Frida's life.
|Large scale photo of Frida painting her father's portrait, Guillermo Kahlo.
|Absolutely loved this photo of Frida with her hair down.
One of my favorite photos of the day was of Frida in bed, all curves and coyness. One would think she was being coy but the grim photos of her in traction speak otherwise. Still, her beauty and absolute strength shine through.
Every time I see a photo of Diego Rivera, I wonder what kind of magic el panzón possessed to attract so many women, both young and old. Whatever it was must have been pretty potent because it captured Frida's heart over and over again. There was an actual photo of Diego with Frida's lipstick print that was very touching to see.
|My artist and Frida's artist.
|The museum store was filled with handmade Frida goodies from local artists.
|Loved this tin piece.
|Their painted pink stucco wall made me want to go home and paint something hot pink really bad, guys.
The Frida Kahlo, Her Photos exhibit runs until June 8, 2014 at The Museum of Latin American Art. Make sure you go and experience this amazing exhibit while it's in town.

Motherboard Selection Criteria (Knowing What to Look For)
I am often asked to make a recommendation for purchases. Without guidance, many individuals don't have any
It helps to think like an engineer when you make your selection. Consider every aspect and detail of the motherboards in question. For instance, you should consider any future uses and upgrades. Technical support at a professional (as opposed to a
In short, a checklist is a good idea. Here is one for you to use in evaluating any PC-compatible system. A system might not have to meet every one of these criteria for you to consider purchasing it, but if it misses more than a few, consider staying away from that system. The items at the top of the list are the most important, and the items at the bottom are perhaps of lesser importance (although I think each item is important). The rest of this chapter discusses in detail the criteria in this checklist:
You might notice that these selection criteria seem
Most of the time I recommend purchasing boards from better-known motherboard manufacturers such as Intel, Acer, ABIT, AsusTek, SuperMicro, Tyan, FIC, and others. These boards might cost a little more, but there is some safety in the more well-known brands. That is, the more boards they sell, the more likely that any problems will have been
As mentioned, documentation is an important factor to consider when you're planning to purchase a motherboard. Most motherboard manufacturers design their boards around a particular chipset, which actually counts as the bulk of the motherboard
For example, one of the more common questions I hear about a system
Besides the main chipset data books, I also recommend collecting any data books on the other major chips in the system. This includes any floppy or IDE controller chips, Super I/O chips, and of course the main processor. You will find an incredible amount of information on these components in the data books.
Most chipset manufacturers make a particular chip for only a short time,
Using Correct Speed-Rated
See "Processor Speed Ratings," p. 51.
When a chip is run at a speed higher than it is rated for, it runs hotter than it would normally. This can cause the chip to occasionally overheat, which would appear as random lockups, glitches, and frustration. I highly recommend that you check to ensure you are getting the right speed-rated parts you are paying for.
Also be sure to use the recommended heatsink thermal interface material (TIM). This can improve the efficiency of your heatsink by up to 30%.
This practice is easy to fall into because the faster-rated chips cost more money. Intel and other chip manufacturers usually rate their chips very conservatively. Over the years, I have overclocked many processors, running them sometimes well beyond their rated speeds. Although I might purchase a Pentium 4 2.4GHz and run it at 2.6GHz, if I were to experience lockups or glitches in operation, I would immediately return it to the original speed and retest. If I purchase a 2.6GHz system from a vendor, I fully expect it to have a 2.6GHz part, not slower parts running past their rated speeds!
Overclocking has been made more difficult by Intel and AMD, who have both started locking the bus multipliers in their chips to prevent easy overclocking by changing the
If you purchase a processor or system, verify that the markings are the original Intel or AMD
The bottom line: If the price is too good to be true, ask before you buy. Are the parts really manufacturer-rated for the system speed?
To determine the rated speed of a CPU chip, look at the writing on the chip. Refer to Chapter 3 for details on how to interpret the marks to see what the rating on the chip actually is.
Be careful when running software to detect processor speed. Most programs can only estimate at what speed the chip is currently running, not what the true original rating is. The current speed of the processor might not be its actual rated speed, either because of overclocking or because some recent systems reduce processor speed when the system is not heavily tasked. One exception to this is the Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility, which can determine whether an Intel processor is operating at the correct and rated frequency intended. Although it gives only basic information about any Intel processor, it can uniquely identify the original speed ratings of the Pentium III, third-generation Celeron (Coppermine-based), and any
For AMD processors, use the AMD CPUInfo and AMDClock utilities to identify your processor type and speed. Download these and other utilities from http://www.amd.com/usen/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_2364,00.html.
Older system chassis with speed markings or even indicator lights are usually no indication of the actual or rated speed of the processor inside. Those displays can literally be set via jumpers to read any speed you
Most of the better diagnostics on the market, such as Norton Utilities from Symantec or SiSoftware Sandra, read the processor ID and stepping information, as well as show current operating (but not rated) speed. You can

WASHINGTON September 11, 2013 — Last night President Obama addressed the people of the United States and updated them on the events of the crisis in Syria. With every word, the Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in the World brought his case for military action against Syria to the American public and their representatives, while simultaneously vowing to explore every diplomatic option. It was a speech steeped in strong language, compelling arguments for action, and warnings of the failure to act accordingly.
"When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied. The question now is what the United States of America, and the international community, is prepared to do about it. Because what happened to those people — to those children — is not only a violation of international law, it's also a danger to our security."
SEE RELATED: On the eve of 9/11, team Obama blinks while Putin strengthens his hand
It was reminiscent of another speech, made by another President, before another war.
"Some ask how urgent this danger is to America and the world. The danger is already significant, and it only grows worse with time. If we know Saddam Hussein has dangerous weapons today - and we do - does it make any sense for the world to wait to confront him as he grows even stronger and develops even more dangerous weapons?"
Obama went on to discuss the dangers of letting Syria continue to engage in behavior that could potentially affect neighboring countries.
"If fighting spills beyond Syria's borders, these weapons could threaten allies like Turkey, Jordan, and Israel. And a failure to stand against the use of chemical weapons would weaken prohibitions against other weapons of mass destruction, and embolden Assad's ally, Iran — which must decide whether to ignore international law by building a nuclear weapon, or to take a more peaceful path."
SEE RELATED: Tyrants, warlords, dictators rejoice
Which sounded a lot like…
"Iraq possesses ballistic missiles with a likely range of hundreds of miles; far enough to strike Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey and other nations in a region where more than 135,000 American civilians and service members live and work."
President Obama was also concerned about the potential procurement of these weapons by terrorist organizations in the area, endangering American interests globally.
"If we fail to act, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons. As the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas, and using them. Over time, our troops would again face the prospect of chemical warfare on the battlefield. And it could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons, and to use them to attack civilians."
SEE RELATED: Putin to the rescue?
Which sounded a lot like…
"Iraq could decide on any given day to provide a biological or chemical weapon to a terrorist group or individual terrorists. Alliance with terrorists could allow the Iraqi regime to attack America without leaving any fingerprints."
President Obama made the case that he has gone the route of diplomacy and has almost exhausted his options.
"I agree, and I have a deeply held preference for peaceful solutions. Over the last two years, my administration has tried diplomacy and sanctions, warning and negotiations — but chemical weapons were still used by the Assad regime."
Which sounded a lot like…
"Some believe we can address this danger by simply resuming the old approach to inspections and applying diplomatic and economic pressure. Yet this is precisely what the world has tried to do since 1991."
In order to give force and strength to his argument, President Obama invoked the words of a previous wartime President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
"Franklin Roosevelt once said, "Our national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged." Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria, along with our leadership of a world where we seek to ensure that the worst weapons will never be used."
Which sounded a lot like…
"As President Kennedy said in October of 1962, "Neither the United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation, large or small. We no longer live in a world," he said, "where only the actual firing of weapons represents a sufficient challenge to a nation's security to constitute maximum peril."
President Obama outlined the fact that failure to take action could spell dire consequences for the World.
"Indeed, I'd ask every member of Congress, and those of you watching at home tonight, to view those videos of the attack, and then ask: What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas, and we choose to look the other way?"
Which sounded a lot like…
"Failure to act would embolden other tyrants, allow terrorists access to new weapons and new resources, and make blackmail a permanent feature of world events."
And of course, President Obama concluded his remarks with strong rhetoric and compelling words.
"America is not the world's policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death, and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act. That's what makes America different. That's what makes us exceptional. With humility, but with resolve, let us never lose sight of that essential truth."
Which sounded a lot like…
"We did not ask for this present challenge, but we accept it. Like other generations of Americans, we will meet the responsibility of defending human liberty against violence and aggression. By our resolve, we will give strength to others. By our courage, we will give hope to others. And by our actions, we will secure the peace and lead the world to a better day."
President Obama has delayed the Syrian vote until further notice, allowing him time to seek other diplomatic avenues towards a peaceable solution. Russia has offered to oversee the dismantling of President Assad's chemical weapons cache, but only under the stipulation that the United States remove a possible military strike on Syria as a future option.

They were just two sisters, one a preschool teacher and the other a college student, on their way to a late lunch Oct. 11, 2002.
Their shortcut through a pharmacy parking lot that day led them Tuesday to Maricopa County Superior Court in Mesa, where they were star witnesses for the state — and where defense lawyers tried to discredit their claims of seeing former Chandler police officer Daniel Lovelace chase Dawn Rae Nelson's fleeing car before shooting her to death.
The ultimate question of the trial is whether Lovelace, who is charged with second-degree murder and endangerment, was in danger when he shot the 35-year-old Ahwatukee Foothills mother, who was trying to escape arrest for passing a fake prescription at the Walgreens at Dobson and Warner roads.
Defense attorney Craig Mehrens attacked the testimony of Brandi Gonzalez and Jennifer Gonzalez-Mayterone by pointing out that while they could say in court where Lovelace generally was when he shot, they weren't so certain on the day of the shooting.
Mehrens was nine minutes into cross examination of Gonzalez, a 22-year-old Mesa Community College student, when he gently pointed out the inconsistency, causing her to cover her face with her hands and sob.
Judge James Keppel gave her a break to compose herself. When she returned to the stand, she explained the inconsistency by saying that she "just wanted to stop" the questions of the detective after the shooting because she was frustrated and stressed.
She told jurors she was conflicted by her aspirations to become a police officer and making statements against a police officer, and she also felt bad for Lovelace and Nelson.
Gonzalez-Mayterone, 24, said she didn't tell the detective everything she knew the night of the incident because she was nervous about being involved in a police shooting.
Both woman testified that they saw Lovelace standing on the driver's side of
Nelson's Chevrolet Camaro when the car moved forward and knocked over his motorcycle.
"He took off really fast after the Camaro," Gonzalez-Mayterone said.
They said they could see the right side of his body as he fired the shot.
Lovelace has claimed that he "backpedaled" to get away from the car, believing it would crush him if he didn't, but both women said they never saw him move backwards, only forward.
Prosecutors contend that Lovelace couldn't have been in danger because the fatal bullet entered Nelson from behind.
Mehrens set the stage for planned testimony of a memory expert who is expected to say that the memories of witnesses can be tainted by conversations they have after seeing an incident.
The sisters said they discussed the shooting with each other as they drove to a restaurant immediately after it happened and then discussed it with their mother at the restaurant.
In other testimony, an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer with 25 years of experience testified that officers are not trained to run after fleeing cars to stop them.
Sgt. Steve Harrison said officers are trained to get as much information on the fleeing car and occupants to pass along to other officers.
Harrison also said that Nelson's 14-month-old son, who was strapped into the backseat of the car, was put in danger because the mother was no longer in control of the car when she was shot, making it possible for the car to roll into traffic and be struck.
Lovelace dived into the rolling car after the shooting in an attempt to stop it. A fellow officer who drove up to the scene crashed into it to stop it, according to previous police testimony.

The shine given to Chicago rap phenomenon Chief Keef has cast some of that residual spotlight on others, in this case, Chi-based female rappers/Keef affiliates like Sasha GoHard, Katie Got Bandz and Chella H. Recently, the trio put out the collaboration "I'm Hotta," which is arguably the most energetic, swaggering thing the scene has produced, at least this side of the much more seasoned King Louie. It's a banger. Download it below.

A Taste of Dark Epic Rock
Evanescence and Bush Live in Manila concert review
The crowd got a taste of dark epic rock from Evanescence and 90s rock hits from Bush as both bands gave back to back performances last February 19, 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. After 1 ½ decade British rock band Bush with front man Gavin Rossdale returned to Manila and performed their tunes showing that they're still in the business.
The band released their first album in 10 years called Sea Of The Memories. With the band's name at the background, Rossdale together with his band mates took the stage at exactly 8PM and immediately nailed their first song called Machinehead followed by Baby Come Home, both of these songs were received well by the audience. Early in the set, they played one of their most successful singles The Chemicals Between Us, the reaction from the crowd was great and loud. It's like there's no signs of a hiatus from this band.
Gavin interacted well to the audience, his energy was top the notch and recognized the crowd very much. They did not disappoint the fans by performing hits such as All My Life and Greedy Fly. His voice was not drowned out by the guitars, the live audience was able to witness his soaring vocals throughout the show. One of the highlights was when Gavin went into the audience. He left the stage and ran through the entire venue reaching the hands of the fans and singing up to the upper levels. The crowd at the upper box A and B were visibly enjoying his performance. The concert did end well as they performed The Beatles' Come Together and finished the entire set with their classics Glycerine and Come Down. Bush thanked the audience for supporting them for years and left the stage.
After a half hour of preparation, the main act Evanescence was ready to take stage, as the lights dimmed, the audience shouted with energy and anticipation. They kicked off their show with What You Want from their self-titled third album Evanescence. The excitement of the audience was totally ecstatic. Up next was Going Under from their multi-platinum selling debut album Fallen. Amy Lee's operatic voice dominated the big dome. Their third song of the night was The Other Side and immediately followed by Weight of the World. Unlike Bush, Evanescence rarely talked to their audience. Still, Amy delivered with incredible amount of energy, hypnotizing and soaring vocal style, best demonstrated on their ballads My Heart is Broken and Immortal. She sat down with her piano and did three straight songs, Lost in Paradise, My Heart Is Broken and Lithium. It's so great seeing the softer side of Amy on her piano.

Travel Inspired Toast
I always enjoy a lazy moment exploring the pages of British lifestyle brand Toast. I'm drawn to their casual images that, this season, feel very travel inspired. Must be the spirits of summer casting their magic spell on me, making me want to throw my journal and a map in a bag, slip on pretty sandals, and head for an exotic destination. The most exotic destination on my calendar is Amsterdam next week, ha ha! The three places that I'd love to visit are Australia, Japan and India. I think about them frequently and the design and culture in these places inspires me so much though they are all three so different from the other. Where do you dream of taking an extended holiday?
I imagine I'll get to these places someday, in addition to Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Poland, Bali, Korea, Scotland… too many to list for me. but for now I enjoy roaming the web for a dose of travel inspiration or some of my favorite catalogs. Toast seems to be inspired by North Africa and of European cafe life, particularly France and Italy, and perhaps a little bit of Greece too. I love the mix of stripes and solids, weaves and leathers, and swoon – shiny metallic linen which is one of the best kinds of linen for dressing up the home in a very subtle way. It's sumptuous.

The Oldest Working Infrastructure in America
Earlier this month, a 100-year-old water main in Philadelphia burst, spewing 13 million gallons of water onto a parking lot, inundating several nearby stores, and causing an estimated $3 million in damages. It's far from the only example of major American cities relying on aging infrastructurewe found some of the oldest still in operation.
By Will Dietrich-Egensteiner
Stone Bridge: Frankford Avenue Bridge
The American Society of Civil Engineers describes the Frankford Avenue Bridge in Philadelphia as the first known stone arch built in the U.S., and probably the oldest stone bridge in the country. Spanning Pennypack Creek in northeast Philly, the bridge was completed in 1697. Today it carries U.S. Route 13. The bridge was built to accommodate the King's Road from Philadelphia to New York and started out as only 18 feet wide, room enough for two lanes of horse traffic. It expanded in 1893 for trolleys, and in 1950 for car traffic.
The Frankford Avenue Bridge, despite being 317 years old, has outlasted 60 other bridges in Philadelphia alone.

Some days before i got an invitation from Innobuzz Knowledge Solutions to take a special class on social engineering attacks.I got this opportunity because in my last job i was the part of my company's social engineering team. ( Ooo... my 3 years experience finally worked ) In my previous posts i told you that i had sent some mails to get some free classes over there, but no one replied. So it was a opportunity for me to know what they are really doing. It was a three hour training session and i can say it was a amazing experience.
After all this i ordered a course kit you can also apply for a course or study material at their web site, which contains various items including the DVD kit and Book, Hacker T-shirt, etc. The book is Practical and point based. It mostly contains the Key and Important points for each topic with Graphics and hence reading the book is easy. The first thing I did was, I googled to search if the book was copied or ripped, however, it was nice to find out that it was original content written by Innobuzz and I must say I was impressed with the quality. Content was fully practical based so any newbie can also easily understand hacking and security.
Trainer Quality-
Trainer was also a technically sound guy and have a lot of experience of security . He was helpful and prepared to answer all the questions. Well need not to say they are working hard . Considering the price of the training program and upon comparing it will other training programs offered in the market, i found innobuzz to provide great value for money.
Training Support-
Now, this is something which I found out as the most amazing part. I have had Training from Appin and others too, but the management's support and interaction with the customers is great. Normally, most of the Training companies, will forget you once you pay, however, Innobuzz turns out to be different on this front and Tech savvy too. After registration, you get many SMS, Emails and Calls to keep track of your progress and to solve any problems or issues you might have! GREAT customer support. This was awesome. If anyone else has also joined, do mention your response by commenting on this. I dont think i have seen this happening anywhere else.
I feel the Infrastructure was decent but they need better chairs ( So healthy people can sit properly and they should extend the classroom sizes.)
Extending the duration of the course would be better since every student would like to spend more time with the trainer to grasp more. Fee can be increased and I think people are ready to pay more, if they can increase the duration of the training program of CISE.

"There should be no question in the mind of anyone who appreciates a free and open society that Proposition 42 deserves a 'yes' vote."
– Sacramento Bee editorial, March 31, 2014
Prop 42 enshrines local government transparency into our Constitution.
Proposition 42, common sense reform to give taxpayers the right to attend local government meetings and review information about what local governments are doing with our money, will appear on the June 2014 statewide ballot. The measure protects both the Brown Open Meetings Act and the California Public Records Act – the most critical laws in place that protect citizens' right to know what our government is doing and how it is doing it.
Without Prop 42, Californians will never fully know what's happening at local governments and agencies, most of which have multi-million dollar budgets. After all the scandals we've had in California cities like Bell, where there was widespread abuse of taxpayer dollars, citizens need to have public access to meetings and records.

Yahoo! Rolls Out New Cross-Platform Mail Client
Following in the footsteps of Microsoft, which released a revamped Outlook.com a couple of months ago, Yahoo! has today begun rolling out updated Yahoo! Mail clients for the Web, Windows 8, iOS and Android. In a post made to Yahoo!'s corporate blog by CEO Marissa Mayer, she states that the company's users have long requested "fewer distractions" when it comes to email. While the company doesn't go quite as far as Microsoft did with Outlook.com with its minimalism, the end result is quite nice.
The goals of the revamped Yahoo! Mail revolve around making it easier and quicker to get things done, though the company doesn't go into detail about its design choices or what to be on the look out for. Instead, it'll be up to long-time Yahoo! Mail users to see the subtle and not-so-subtle differences. As I didn't have an account before, I just signed-up to check things out, but was greeted to the old template. It'll take a couple of days for the change to be reflected for all users.
If you're a Yahoo! Mail user and have been able to play around with the latest design, let us know what you think in the comments!
[quote user="OSunday"]
I've never used Yahoo mail, but I do use Gmail and Hotmail and the revamped Outlook style is awesome and has been a huge improvement. If Yahoo's is anything similar it should be similar[/quote]
I've got Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail. I claim they are from different phases of my life. Anyhow, I'm a huge fan of the new outlook.com as well. The new yahoo mail looks so much like outlook.com, but I can't really confirm much because it seems my yahoo account is still in the old style (and full of political propaganda from my grandmother).
Yahoo is not bad. I have had my yahoo email account for almost a decade now. I don't use it as often as I use my gmail account however. The wonders of my android smart phone.

December 21, 2014
A year after a man drowned during his tavern's belly flop contest, James Halbach watched six people launch themselves into the Rock River during the second annual event. This year, no one drowned.
Last year, 52-year-old Dorl "Woody" Gates, 52, of Beloit died after jumping off the Townline Road bridge railing into swift water 20 feet below. He disappeared and his body was found downstream 10 days later.
This year, no one jumped from the bridge. In fact, it's illegal to jump off a bridge in Beloit. Instead, three men and three women leaped from a floating dock into a 20-foot square of water surrounded on three sides by dock and on the fourth side by a pontoon boat.
Halbach said the belly flop contest was in honor of Gates' memory.
Ryan Kelly, an 18-year-old from Beloit, won first place Saturday.

There's a fantastic thread over on the SHARP-L list: "Google and Yahoo - illiterate monks?".
The SHARPists have been discussing Google, electronic texts, and the future of the printed word. There's over a dozen messages so far, and they're all worth a read.
The lecture, "The Political Economy of Reading", [PDF] the second of the John Coffin Memorial lectures in the history of the book arranged by the University of London, is now published.
It is published under Creative Commons, a new form of limited copyright, that enables researchers, teachers, and students to dowload, copy, and circulate it without risk of running into the normal restrictions.
Kathleen writes "Judge Marjorie O. Rendell, First Lady of Pennsylvania has stated, "The only way to hold on to our freedom is to give it away -- and liberally -- to those who come after us. In your own sphere of influence, in your own way, I invite you to join with me and give back meaning to the word "citizen." Concerned by a recent study that demonstrates a decline in understandidng of the First Amendment, Judge Rendell advocates citizenship education.
"The Future of the First Amendment,� found that educators are failing to give high school students an appreciation of the First Amendment's guarantees of free speech and a free press. The study by researchers from the University of Connecticut questioned more than 100,000 high school students, nearly 8,000 teachers, and more than 500 administrators and principals."
Here's the slides from the keynote of the Canadian annual information literacy conference.
WILU report - As we may think.
The second part of that title was taken from the paper by Vannevar Bush (1945). They use his vision of the scientist in a technically connected work to reflect on the situation now (when not just scientists, but citizens more generally have access to the internet and cheap devices such mobile phones). They argue that this connectedness has raised issues and challenges that Bush did not envision.
Another key part of our argument presents information literacy as not just a personal attribute, but as a soft applied discipline, leading to its application in a field of social action.
An Anonymous Patron writes "The Chronicle: Colloquy Live Transcript Colleges are among the most wired environments anywhere. Most professors say the Internet has enhanced teaching and scholarship. At the click of a button, scholars can connect with students, comment on colleagues' work, and locate and obtain research materials. But at what cost?"
Way back in 1993 Jamie McKenzie asked What will we find when we visit a School library in 2005? Well, since it's now 2005, let's take a look back at some of mcKenzie's imaginations regarding possible futures of a smokestack information system we still call "libraries."
The Worst Case Scenario: The Information ATM. McKenzie says banks were forced to change by the arrival of new technologies, de-regulation and a marketplace driven by client demands for convenience, quality and customization. The worst case scenario is that new technologies and electronic access to information threaten to eliminate both school "libraries" as we have known them and those who have been serving as information "tellers." Jamie goes on... "Imagine the impact of Information ATMs on school and community libraries - small, hand-held PDAs with wireless connection through satellite to all the information centers of the world." The words "independent of time and place and subject discipline" pose the greatest promise and the greatest threat.
The Best Case Scenario: Media Specialists as Pilots, Information Mediators, IT Managers and Curators. Thanks to having access to so much information, at least four emerging roles offer considerable promise. Media Specialists as Pilots, Media Specialists as Information Mediators, Media Specialists as IT Managers and Media Specialists as Curators.
"Libraries of the Future" finishes with a conclusion that could be written today:
"The time-honored tradition of introducing students to literature with book talks and dramatized readings deserves protection. So does the careful coaching of individual students so that passions meet with good books and reluctant readers develop appetites for books. The basic point is the necessity of adjusting roles to meet the challenges of new technologies. Media specialists can maintain a leadership role as schools move into the next century with school media centers serving as the core of an active learning program dedicated to student inquiry, investigation and research."
Anonymous Patron writes "Article: Technological Means of Communication and Collaboration in Archives and Records Management: This study explores the international collaboration efforts of archivists and records managers starting with the hypothesis that Internet technologies have had a significant impact on both national and international communication for this previously conservative group. The use and importance of mailing lists for this purpose is studied in detail. A quantitative analysis looks globally at the numbers of lists in these fields and the numbers of subscribers. A qualitative analysis of list content is also described. The study finds that archivists and records managers have now created more than 140 mailing lists related to their profession and have been contributing to these lists actively. It also "estimates" that about half of the profession follows a list relating to their work and that archivists seem to like lists more than records managers. The study concludes that mailing lists can be seen as a virtual college binding these groups together to develop the field."
Anonymous Patron writes "Slashdot Points The way to This One thay says Three University of Wisconsin-Madison professors, among the top researchers in learning through game-playing, explained the advantages of games over traditional teaching tools Thursday evening."

Report newhousenews.com
"The moment of truth came in October when a textiles team invited from Colonial Williamsburg concluded that, yes, the suit was indeed American made. That was all Mount Vernon curator Carol Borchert Cadou needed to hear before she was jumping up and down, right there in the presence of Washington's clothing. She terms the finding a "blockbuster.""
Anonymous Patron writes "Search engines or card catalogs is a study from The University at Buffalo School of Informatics. A major national study conducted by the University at Buffalo School of Informatics and the Urban Libraries Council found five years ago that increased Internet use in the U.S. had not produced a reduction in the public use of libraries.
The study presented a new consumer model of the U.S. adult market for library and Internet services, one that consisted of "information seekers" who used both resources, but in different ways.
With Internet use continuing to grow by leaps and bounds, the UB researchers now are poised to undertake a much larger national study to see what, if any, changes have taken place over the past five years."

Proposals include simplifying the deer licensing process by eliminating the current deer hunting permits. Successful applicants would be issued a deer license, similar to the way elk, antelope and other big-game licenses currently are issued.
Other proposals include giving hunters who are successful in the drawing the opportunity to buy discounted licenses, including junior, senior and combination licenses, which are available after March 31 annually; and expanding youth hunting opportunities for quality and high-demand deer hunts.
The proposals and various options are available for review on the Department Web site, www.wildlife.state.nm.us in the Public Comments and Hunting sections. http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/documents/deerrule.html
Comments can be submitted to Barry Hale, the Department's deer program manager, by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by regular mail at New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, P.O. Box 25112, Santa Fe, NM 87505.

"This is an excellent recipe! Everyone enjoys it. The second time I made it, I used pancetta instead of prosciutto. The prosciutto is definitely better, but pancetta was ok. This recipe is so dinner party perfect!"
"Great recipe! This sliced up nicely & made great leftovers!"
"My family really liked this! I made the recipe as written, except that I used 1/2 the amount of cornstarch instead of the flour. Cornstarch seems to dissolve better than flour to me. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!"
"My family and I loved this soup. I used canned chicken instead of cooking my own, and I did not use the pie crusts, which cut way down on the calories & fat! After I broke up the cream cheese into the liquids, I used a stick blender to incorporate it all. I did have to cook the soup on high for about 3 hours to get all the veggies tender. The tas..."
"This was very good & so quick & easy. I used chicken, but think it would also be good with ground beef. Thanks for posting!"
"We really liked this casserole! I had leftover cooked brown rice in the freezer & leftover leg of lamb in the fridge. This came together very easily & was very tasty. Thanks!"
"Delicious recipe! My husband loved it! Thanks!"
"This is the best ratatouille recipe I've tried! So easy & not soupy. Thanks!"
"We loved this recipe! It has less sugar in the sweet potato part, and you can use more or less of the topping as you please. Thanks!"
"Very good! My daughter's boyfriend's first taste of grits, and he really liked it. This was good left over, too. Thanks."

On the heels of the Photo Gallery upgrade comes some changes to the Trailers & Videos pages for movies.
If you are familiar with the layout from the past, you'll notice that the changes we made are not breathtaking, but we do think that they make the feature cleaner and easier to use. Gone are the separate buttons for viewing the videos, as the same functionality is done with a simple link on the video's title instead.
For videos that are on third-party web sites (the Quicktime videos, for example), they are no longer viewed in a popup window, but rather a new full-sized window that is either a new tab or a new window, depending on your browser's settings. This new approach is more mobile-friendly, and it should make the feature more compatible with browsers that are trying to prevent popup ads from being shown (and detecting the popup as an ad instead of a video window).
The example above is from the Trailers & Videos page for Noah, which is opening in theaters tomorrow. If you would like to see a list of active movies that have trailers and videos available, head over to the All Movies page in Now Showing that is sorted by media.

|Does not Spoil
|Can be planted as Flower
|Dropped by
|Stacks up to
|Butterfly, flutter by.
Butterflies are harmless insects commonly found in Grasslands. They spawn from Flowers and Evil Flowers and will slowly flutter around the map, often landing on other flowers when they come across them. At dusk, they will return to a nearby flower to despawn. Butterflies do not spawn in Winter.
Butterflies usually drop Butterfly Wings when killed (98% chance), and occasionally drop Butter instead (2% chance). They are considered innocent creatures and killing one directly adds 1 point to the player's naughtiness level, which causes Krampus to appear. Catching butterflies with a Bug Net will not affect naughtiness.
Butterflies take one blast from the Ice Staff to be frozen and cannot be put to sleep.
Hunting Edit
Butterflies fly away when approached, making them quite difficult kill.
The best time to attack Butterflies is when they stop to land on flowers. This means hunting in an area with lots of flowers will provide many more opportunities to hit them; they will be on the plant for a few seconds, giving the player an opportunity to attack and kill them. Butterflies also sometimes flutter around in place and can be easily hit. Walking close to a flower seems to spawn a Butterfly more frequently.
It's possible to hit moving butterfly by closing distance without issuing attack command and then pressing force attack button (Ctrl+F). Look at the butterfly's shadow for determining it's position. Walking cane makes it even easier.
Butterflies can be caught in a Bug Net, which has the range to hit a moving butterfly. The Walking Cane can do the same but requires more dexterity from the player. With the Bug Net, the player can click on the moving critter at a distance or approach it manually and press spacebar to automatically chase and catch it.
When captured, butterflies become an item in inventory, which stacks to 20.
As an inventory item, Butterflies can be used to plant new Flowers by right-clicking them on the ground. Planting Flowers is useful for creating butterfly farms, or for providing Bees with Flowers to produce Honey quickly. Maxwell himself says, "It's a flying flower." when examining a butterfly.
- When two butterflies spawn from the same flower, attacking one will cause the other to die, but it will not drop anything.
- When a stack of Butterflies is killed in the inventory, only 1 point of naughtiness will be added instead of the cumulative total.

What causes selfishness (The psychology of selfishness)
By M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.
what causes selfishness
"Selfish people are weak and are haunted by the fear of loss of control"
Selfishness is putting your goals, priorities and needs first before everyone else even those who are really in need.
Buy what makes people selfish?
The truth about selfishness
Selfishness is sign of weakness, the selfish person fears to give some of his time, money or effort to others because he is afraid of the consequences that might happen on making such a sacrifice.
The person who is always busy and who never gives few minutes of his time to the people in need is actually afraid of wasting his time because of believing that he has no control over his life. When that person gives away some of his time he feels insecure because of not being sure whether he will succeed in completing his own tasks or not.
If that person didn't fear to lose control of his life or if he was confident enough to believe that giving five minutes away won't hurt his progress then he wouldn't have been selfish.
Selfishness and unmet goals
All of us have dreams and goals but some of us believe that they might not be able to reach them and that's why they save all of their resources to themselves just to ease some of the insecurity they are feeling.
Lots of selfish people have big unmet needs which make them feel insecure and the result is being afraid to give anything away not to remind themselves of their lack of control over their lives.
How to get over selfishness?
1) Understand that in most cases selfishness is weakness.
The book The ultimate guide to getting over depression was released by 2knowmself, the book provides a 100% guarantee for feeling better else you will be refunded. 2knowmysef is not a complicated medical website nor it's a boring online encyclopedia but it's a place where you will find simple, to the point and effective information that is backed by psychology and that is presented in a simple and obvious way.

State Senator Greg Brophy's bill would let Colorado parents buy alcohol for children
DENVER - Parents could buy alcohol for their children at Colorado bars and restaurants if they were 18 and older but not 21 yet, under a proposal by a Republican lawmaker.
Sen. Greg Brophy is introducing the bill for the legislative session that begins Wednesday. He says he thought of the proposal because he and his wife recently took their daughter to dinner to celebrate her 20th birthday, and she couldn't have a drink with them.
Brophy says he also wants parents of returning servicemen to be able to buy their children drinks at bars or restaurants.
He says the bill would allow parents to buy their adult children drinks in any place that allows on-premise alcohol consumption. Wisconsin has a similar law.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving President Opposes Bill
Yet, this concept of drinking and dining with dad, doesn't sit well the president of the Mothers Against Drunk Driving, whose teenage daughter was killed by an underage drunk driver.
"When people under the age of 21 drink alcohol with their parents, they actually drink more frequently and in larger quantities," Jan Withers, president of MADD, told 7NEWS.
That's why she's asking the sponsor not to introduce the bill.
"It's a huge endorsement and it's one that's contrary to our laws," Withers said.
Brophy responded by saying, "I recognize there are maybe people who don't like it. But again I have to ask…If you're trusted to vote, if you're trusted to carry a weapon in the service of your country, why can't we trust you to buy a beer at the bar?"
"Showing them a responsible way to consume alcohol is actually an important part of growing up," Brophy added.

It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas. Everywhere you go for the next month, those songs will be playing: ''White Christmas,'' ''Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,'' ''Silent Night.'' Sometimes it's enough to make you scream. And yet, every once in a while, you'll hear a new version that puts flavor back into those old chestnuts.
Maureen McGovern has done it, and her achievement may be the most remarkable of all because she's a pop singer smack dab in the middle of the road. When you listen to her sing such familiar tunes as ''Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,'' you can't help comparing her with the Crosbys, Sinatras, and Streisands. But Christmas With Maureen McGovern stands up to the challenge. Drawing upon her experience on Broadway and in nightclubs, McGovern brings an extra smidgen of personality to her singing with her sharp theatricality. You truly believe that she's ''dreaming of a white Christmas'' as her voice floats softly through the tune. And on ''The Christmas Tree,'' she's as crisp and clear as a winter night. A-

So I just started a campaign of CotCT. I picked urban ranger archetype (pure archery build) and human favored enemy.
I'm thinking about changing back to vanilla ranger (with GM permission) before the 3rd level so that it doesn't really effect anything other than class skills.
I try not to read ahead since I do have access to the books through a friend but I've been asked not to. I do know that there are at least two non-urban settings that wouldn't really count as communities and Korvosa (to my knowledge) is the only community. Would vanilla ranger with a urban terrain focus be better so that I can still get a bonus outside Korvosa (even if it's only +2)?
Also, any other tips on archery rangers in CotCT would be taken under advisement. And I know of the switch hitting build that is considered better than pure archery but I have a barbarian, inquisitor, and oracle to hold the front lines. What we needed as a 4th was a ranged/skill player.

This Mustang Parts Installation Guide Works For
Tools Required
Installation Time: 3 Hours
10602 & 10604 INSTRUCTIONS:Remove all parts from package. Before removing stock rails from engine, fuel pressure must be released. Stock rails have a valve (like a tire valve) that can be used to relieve fuel pressure. If center valve is pressed in, fuel will spray out of valve so make sure some method is utilized to capture fuel. After removal of stock rails, carefully examine the stock o-rings on the fuel injectors for any cuts or damage. Replace if necessary.
10602 only:Note that one rail has a nipple with two 0-ringson it. This is the driver's side rail. Put small amount of lubricant on o-rings. Take the blue aluminum adapter bracket and gently push it onto the o-ringed nipple. Attach it securely with two supplied M5 x 15 long stainless screws. Once rails are assembled to engine, the stock fuel sensor will attach to this bracket with original screws.
10604 only:Both rails are the same and can be used on either side.
10602 and 10604:Study how you want to plumb the rails. You will need a crossover hose assembly which may go on either the front or the back of the engine. If you want to use it on the front, where the crossover hose connects to the front of the driver's side rail, you may need to substitute a90° 3/8-NPT to -6AN fitting in place of a straight 3/8-NPT to-6AN fitting. This is required to raise the hose up high enough to clear the thermostat housing. When you have determined your plumbing arrangement, screw the supplied stainless inlet fitting into the end of one of the rails.
This fitting is designed to connect to the stock Ford fuel inlet line. If you elect to plumb a different fuel line, you will need to buy the appropriate fitting. On all pipe fittings, use pipe thread sealant. Do not use Teflon tape as it can shred and get into the fuel system and clog the injectors. Screw the 1/8 pipe plug into the reducer fitting. Screw the reducer fitting into the end of the other rail. You can thread a stock Ford bleeder valve (removed from your stock rails) into the reducer fitting in place of the pipe plug if desired. When threading the supplied stainless inlet fitting into the rail, determine the position that you want the fitting to end up. Holding the rail in a vise with protective jaws, turn the fitting until it stops. Then back it off about a half turn, and then turn it back in. Keep repeating this procedure until the fittings in the desired position. Do not over tighten or you may split the fuel rail.
Lubricate o-rings on injectors and press into manifold. Place rails onto injectors and press down firmly until they bottom out. Place supplied stainless clamps over top of rails and tighten down with supplied M6 stainless screws. Stock screws may be used if desired. After all fuel line connections are properly made and tightened, turn ignition on. Make sure in-tank electric pump is running.
Check for any fuel leaks. If leaks are detected immediately turn off ignition and fix leaks. Once engine is running, again check for any fuel leaks and fix at once. After vehicle has been driven, continue to check for any leaks. Failure to adequately address fuel leaks could lead to an engine fire and catastrophic damage so this is extremely important.
