Your Goals: Setting them and making them real is a process that many of us embrace with lots of energy in January.
Then, as the weeks and months unfold, we slowly lose touch with what those goals were – and what had motivated us in the first place. It's a familiar process, and can be very discouraging.
I am working on putting together next week's Finding Time E-zine and I'm excited to be addressing this very topic with my article "3 Steps Transform Discouragement Into Focused Progress."
In it I offer 3 very practical, doable steps to get you from where you are to where you want to be. (And if you're not already a subscriber to the Finding Time E-zine, sign up for our Finding Time Success Kit in the sidebar. All you need to do is enter your name and e-mail address to receive our FREE time tools!)
Your Goals: How Do You Know What They Are?
One of the keys to realizing your goals is making sure that your goals are truly meaningful to you. This can be complicated, as we live in a world where we are bombarded with information and ideas – often taking the form of things that we "should" be doing or aspiring to.
Does this have a familiar ring? The world tells us, with great frequency, what we ought to feel is important. And if we don't step back and think about it, it is very easy to take on goals that we don't really feel a heart connection to.
And if these are your goals, then you are setting yourself up to fail.
Your Goals: Embrace Quiet and Find Them
For finding the pathway to your heart (and from there to your goals) there are few guides more reliable than Pema Chödrön. That's why I was so pleased to come upon a timely repeat of an interview that Bill Moyers did with her some years ago.
One of the things that she discussed in this interview was turning off external stimuli AND quieting the mind in order to open to what life has to offer.
What she encourages is, to my mind, something like tending the soil to ready it for planting. Before you put in your garden, you pull out last year's roots, stalks, and weeds. The space created offers a fertile place for planting new seeds.
Weeding out the 'should's' and the ungrounded, unreachable aspirations leaves you open to the emergence of your goals. And it's your goals that you are most likely to accomplish.
These are the goals that resonate in your heart. As a gift to yourself, how about going into a deeper quiet, and letting your goals come to the surface?
Here's to your time success!

While sitting in my chair watching KOMO evening news I suddenly had a feeling to turn and look out the window (I live in Edmonds). The color of the sunset over Kingston was stunning. I grabbed my camera and took a couple shots. The color was gone in a couple minutes...and I did not play with the color in this shot...it was that intense.

Heraldry of the World
The largest heraldry site on the net, with presently coats of arms on-line !
State : Baden-WŁrttemberg
The arms show a crozier and a bunch of grapes. Both refer to the many possessions of the Weingarten (meaning vinyard) Abbey in the village. The Abbey acquired some land as early as 1270 and from 1693 rule dthe village by appointing the local judges. The grapes also refer to the oldest seal of the village, dating from the early 19th century, which showed a bunch of grapes. The grapes also indicate the importance of viticulture in the village. In the late 19th century the village used a seal with a resting lion, but as there was no historical reference for this, the lion was not added to the arms in 1963.

Tourism Council discusses Interstate's proposed rate hike
At a January 8 meeting, the Block Island Tourism Council considered whether to weigh in on Interstate Navigation's intention to raise revenues. On November 27, the ferry company filed with the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission (PUC) seeking approval to do so.
If approved, the rate changes would impact the island community through the elimination of commuter discounts for the nearly 900 year-round residents, an increase in one-way passenger fares and a hike in freight charges.
Noting that the town will have "a seat at the table" at the upcoming hearing, Executive Director Jessica Willi asked council members if they wanted "to take a stance" on the issue.
She thought it unfortunate that news coverage of Interstate's proposal might have a negative effect on potential tourism, suggesting the emphasis on higher costs discouraged people from traveling to the island. Council member Brad Marthens said, "We do need to consider whether we as a council should make a statement." He added, "This is something that affects the business community and people as well."
Willi responded that "if freight goes up, the cost goes up on hamburgers." Acknowledging one-way fares would rise 95 cents, she was hopeful that if Interstate succeeded in its quest for more revenue, it might then "allow [the company] to lower other things that might enhance tourism," like discounts during shoulder seasons or offering "more flexibility" in other ways.
Marthens countered, "You can't just raise the price of hamburgers because your [costs] go up. From a business point of view, you reach a point when it becomes no longer viable to have a business here because of rising costs."
President Zena Clark said, "Jess is right; the publicity about this, that it's going to cost more to get to Block Island, is not a good thing." Logan Mott Chase reminded the council that it was "still so much more expensive to go to the Vineyard. Both car and passenger tickets are wildly more expensive." [Passenger rates for the Martha's Vineyard ferry vary widely depending on which means of transportation is selected. *See section below.]
"If there were an opportunity for Interstate to run more specials, Block Island would definitely benefit from mid-week discounts," Clark suggested.
Block Island Chamber of Commerce Director Kathy Szabo said the chamber would take a position but was waiting to hear back from business owners.
With only four of the seven council members present, the group decided to examine the material available on Interstate's filing and, as Marthens requested, put it on the agenda for the next meeting.
Martha Ball cautioned the group that the PUC would look at things differently than island residents would. "They look at it from a state perspective, from what benefits the state." Willi suggested that Chase and Clark, who each have relatives working for Interstate, might have to recuse themselves if the council were to take a vote on the issue.
The PUC has scheduled a public comment hearing on island for April 11, 2013 at 12:15 p.m.. The evidentiary hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. on April 23, in Warwick.
New programs
Discussing new ways to stimulate the tourism economy, Szabo suggested the Tourism Council and the chamber sponsor a "restaurant week," as many mainland communities do. Restaurants could offer packages discounting meals. Szabo suggested a time in June — possibly Race Week — or September, or both.
In addition, she proposed a Harvest Festival for Columbus Day weekend to encourage more shoulder season activity. Marthens thought the ideas excellent. He suggested moving the annual motoring event, which usually takes place in autumn close to the Oar Restaurant. He thought the airport would be a very interesting venue for a fly-in air show that could be combined with the motoring event, drawing many visitors.
Szabo thought it important to "find out more about Cape Air" — specifically about rates and when the airline planned to begin flights to the island. In August 2012, the airline and Rhode Island Airport Corporation received a $900,000 grant from the United States Department of Transportation to introduce summer flights between Block Island and Green Airport in Providence.
The service is meant to run from May to October, with rates contemplated at between $60 and $80 each way. Neither a start time nor a schedule has been confirmed to date by the airline.
Willi reported that hotel tax for October 2012 remained the same, while the total for last summer was up over $20,000.
She also announced the latest edition of the Block Island Magazine was on track for publication in March. Willi noted that copies of the Block Island Magazine "flew off the shelf" at the recent Southern New England Bridal Exposition.
Willi said the monthly meetings held for tourism representatives with Gov. Lincoln Chafee and "experts from around the state," were very interesting. "It was nice to meet with people from historic preservation and state-wide planning and also very nice to have face time with the governor," she added.
The next meeting was scheduled for January 22, at 11 a.m.
*The following are adult round trip prices in season:
Rates (different day) for the traditional ferry from Point Judith to B.I. via Interstate are $30.35 (including the fuel surcharge).
The proposed rate would be $36.45 (including the same fuel surcharge).
The traditional ferry from Woods Hole on the Steamship Authority vessel is $16.
Current high-speed ferry rates from Point Judith to B.I. on the Interstate vessel are $30.35 for different day round trip.
Rates from New London to Block Island on the B.I. Express are $50.24 for different day.
Rates on the high speed ferry from Martha's Vineyard are $79.

I've had a lot on my plate lately and the only time I'm really at my desk is when I'm editing client work, or responding to business e-mails. Construction of our new home is already two months behind due to shoddy work by our contractor, thus leaving Matt and I to pick up the pieces. I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel though… just a tiny, tiny crack of light.
Long workdays and constantly being on the move means that I need sugar and caffeine to keep me going! As cliché as this may seem, donuts + coffee are the perfect pick-me-up.
Adapted from The Breakfast Book. Yields 30 donut holes.
2 Tbsp + 2 tsp milk, warmed
1/2 package dry yeast
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp vegetable shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup sugar + 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Pour the warm milk in a mixing bowl and add yeast; stir and let dissolve for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the shortening and 1/4 cup sugar, stir until they have dissolved before removing from heat. When the water mixture has cooled to warm, add to the yeast mixture. Stir in the eggs and 1 cup flour. Beat well. Add the salt and only enough more flour to make a manageable dough; it should be very soft. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl, cover, and let rise until it doubles in size.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out. Pick off handfuls of dough and roll them into balls. Spread the dough balls out on a piece of waxed paper, about 1 inch apart, and let rise for about 1 hour.
Bring the oil to 365°F in a pot deep enough so the oil comes up two inches of the way. Fry only about 3 – 4 donut holes at a time, until golden all around. Remove and pat free of excess oil. Roll in cinnamon sugar while still hot.
Enjoy with a BIG cup of coffee! Happy Friday!

Facebook has been aggressively rolling out new advertising vehicles over the past few months, but it appears as if the site is going to focus on what it's got going now. In an earnings call Wednesday with investors, Facebook's top officials said that the company is more set on making sure that the types of ads that are currently in place are the kinds that will be relevant for users and generate engagement. However, as some brands improperly use or overuse News Feed ads, users may be less likely to do much more than keep scrolling.

Beyond Facebook's Makeover: If Text Is 'Dead,' How Will Advertisers (Finally) Start Monetizing Photos?
Remember the kindergarten game, "Show and Tell?" Based on its more mobile-friendly News Feed redesign, it appears that Facebook will now be more show than tell — or, to be more precise, it will be burying the tell in billions of pictures. The shift to a "personal newspaper" format with larger and more prominent photo displays is a response to photo-driven behavior that has rapidly changed the social media landscape. Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg says 50 percent of all posts are now pictures, double the amount from just one year ago.
15 Tricks Learned While Getting My App's Facebook Page From 0 To 100K Fans
Running a successful Facebook page is often more about science and accuracy than about socializing. You probably already know this from your personal page: You can post great content at the wrong time or under an unattractive title, and it will hardly be noticed. The AutoCAD WS application Facebook fan page now exceeds 200,000 fans (for a business-to-business app; not a company). I had the honor of working on that fan page from the "create new page" step to the point when it reached 100,000 fans. During that time, I learned a lot, namely that simple tweaks and tricks can leverage your content significantly.
The Dangers Of Facebook Promoted Posts And Suggested Posts
Friends of fans are a valuable group for many businesses on Facebook, and also the ones who see loads of advertising daily through sponsored stories, suggested posts, and promoted posts. While users are sometimes introduced to pages they end up liking, many times, posts from pages they haven't connected with end up being unwanted messages. Social media expert Jon Loomer, in recent blog posts, explained how users aren't shy about voicing their opinion and wrote about how brands can advertise to potential fans without aggravating them.

What is scholarly communication, and why should I care about it?
Breaking News --- Open Access resolution endorsed at the University of Northern Iowa
Iowa Board of Regents:
"The Board strongly encourages faculty, students, and employees of Regent institutions to seek to retain intellectual property rights to the articles and reports that they publish in scholarly journals and equivalent types of publications...Doing so on a systematic basis will ensure the widest possible dissemination at the lowest cost. Each institution shall be responsible for providing information, advice, and assistance to faculty, students, and employees to achieve this aim." -- Approved at the May 15-16, 2002 meeting, located under "Copyright Procedures" section.
Scholarly communication is a multi-faceted term that encompasses various aspects of research and scholarship. It can be defined succinctly as "the system of people, procedures, and tools through which the results of research and scholarship are registered, evaluated, disseminated, and preserved" (Ober, 2008). Scholarly Communication includes both the dissemination of and access to scholarship and research in a variety of formats and states of completion, such as published books or journal articles, research results and data sets, and drafts of papers - University of California, Davis, University Library.

Less than a month in office, Ohio's new governor, John Kasich, has given us plenty of reason to doubt his integrity. He tried – and failed – to keep media away from his inauguration. That was a silly little thing, really, but it portends a new era of secrecy in governance. The legislature took a cue from Kasich and imposed onerous requirements on recording committee hearings. I expect that any day now, we'll hear that Kasich is governing the state from a secure undisclosed location.
Then Kasich started driving his bus over state employees. He appointed a raft of (all-white) cronies to help him run the state and gave them pay raises. He fired attorneys who were life-long state employees, not political appointees, simply because they had voted Democratic. (No link on that one; I heard it from the niece of one of the purge's victims.) At the same time, Kasich cut mailroom staffers' salaries by 21%. Such is the new era of fiscal responsibility in Ohio.
Secrecy paired with cronyism and contempt for the little guy … where have we seen that combo before? Um, yeah … George W. Bush. Good times. Brownie, Brownie, where are ye when we need ye?
But what I've really come here to talk about today is The Stupid. The wonderful blog Plunderbund (which I gleefully plundered for the links above) has revealed that along with all his other sterling qualities, Kasich ain't none too smart, neither. As Modernesquire reported, Kasich officially proclaimed Martin Luther King Day to be March 17.
(Image via Plunderbund – and no, it's not photoshopped.)
I suppose we can toast racial equality with a glass of green beer? And route a St. Paddy's Day parade from Selma to Montgomery? Yes, I realize some poor sodding staffer made the error. Kasich signed off on it. The buck stops … oh, right, the buck may never reach Kasich, because he's gutted the state mailroom. Good planning, dude.
In another shining moment, Kasich advised Ohioans last week on how to weather the storm. The worst of the weather hit north of my house, but had I been less lucky, I would have been prepared, thanks to my governor's memorable words:
So, if you need to go somewhere, to a neighbor or whatever, you're going to need to prepare – extra blankets, some candles – I'm not a big fan of candles, but uh, make sure you can control them and blow them out.
(Plunderbund has it all. Oh, do they ever!)
I get that candles can be a safety hazard, especially if you trip over them as, er, ummmm, some governors fall over their words while trying to sound authoritative. But did I miss some super-secret lesson on blowing them out (maybe the boys got it while we girls got the Menstruation Talk)? Is there a special blowing technique? Does it help if you sing "Happy Birthday" first? And what if I want to blow out all but a couple of candles, so that I can have a couple of boyfriends?
Fortunately, Stephen Colbert picked up on Kasich's turnip-esque intellect and pilloried it – and his racism, to boot:
(Click here if you don't see the video in a blog reader.)
(Via Plunderbund, of course. Have I mentioned their awesomeness yet?)
Here's hoping Colbert has bookmarked Plunderbund. For all the horror the Kasich Administration threatens to deliver, it also promises to be an endless seam of comedic gold. God knows we're are going to need some laughs.

New homes expected to be smaller in size
Thursday, June 20th, 2013
Issue 25, Volume 17.
Research by the Canadian Home Builders Association has found that many people now desire smaller homes with multipurpose rooms and energy saving features. Theyre not ready to trade in their two- and three-car garages just yet, though. Plus, a survey of International Furnishings and Design Association members forecasts that McMansions will become a thing of the past and more emphasis will be placed on smaller, more eco-friendly homes. Family rooms will grow larger, as will kitchens. Other rooms in the home will disappear, including the living room.
Many homeowners and potential home buyers realize that with girth comes a cost. In todays fragile economy, the ability to cash in on the dream of homeownership may come at the compromise of a smaller, better-planned home.
Here are some things new home buyers are expected to find in the near future:
The dining room becoming extinct, with larger, eat-in-kitchen/entertaining spaces the norm. The kitchen will be the main room of the home and be renamed the "kitchen lounge."
Separate rooms are evolving into spaces that serve many different purposes.
Although the sizes of bathrooms may be scaled back, the amenities will not. Spa-style bathrooms with luxurious products, high-tech features and televisions will be on the rise.
The master bedroom suite may not shrink in size, but it could be combined to include home office and exercise space.
Expect to see more high-tech offerings, such as voice- or motion-activated devices in the home. Lighting, entertainment gear, heating/cooling systems, and even blinds can be hooked up to a master control system.
Thanks to an increasing number of people working from home, the presence of a dedicated home office is a given in newer homes. Nearly 40 percent of industry forecasters say that they expect provisions for one in every home.
Home storage solutions will also be a vital component of new homes. Builders will create clever solutions for placing storage into more compact spaces.
With aging Baby Boomers comprising a larger segment of home buyers, expect to see more one-level homes, or at least homes where there is a master suite and the majority of the living space on the first level.
Part of what is driving this trend is the cost of homes in relation to space and the increased interest in environmental conservation. Smaller, more efficient homes require less in terms of heating and cooling energy. Energy efficient homes are continuing to be a main priority for buyers. Although the homes may be smaller, they will not be miniscule. And home buyers can expect a host of amenities that will make the smaller size of homes barely perceptible.

Penélope Cruz, the hot, sexy, middle-aged Spanish actress with superb breasts is in talks to become the oldest ever Bond Girl.
Cruz is in talks to star alongside double Christian-named Daniel Craig in Bond 24 which is due in cinemas in 2016. Filming will begin next year, by which time the lovely Penélope will be 40-years-old, making her the oldest woman to ever play a Bond Girl, if you discount Dame Judi Dench, which you probably would. Cruz would beat the record set by Honor Blackman, who was 39 when she played Pussy Galore in 1964′s Goldfinger. Ms Blackman was five years older than her leading man, Sean Connery.
Naomie Harris is also rumoured to be reprising her role from Skyfall.

When I attend a presentation, the first thing that captures my attention isn't the speaker or the material. It's the person who introduces the speaker.
After giving a few hundred speeches in the past year, I've been struck by the variety of ways that different people introduce the same speaker. Some introductions energize me and seem to leave the audience excited to hear from me. Other introductions inadvertently make it more difficult to deliver a successful speech.
In my experience, the best introductions avoid three mistakes:
1. Don't read the speaker's biography. Much of the time, introducers walk up to the stage with a written biography, and proceed to read it verbatim. This is a mistake for several reasons. First, it's boring. Bios are usually written to inform, not fascinate. Second, a typical bio is far too long to hold the audience's attention. The goal is to pique the audience's curiosity, not cover the speaker's entire life history.
Third, even if introducers are armed with a short, punchy bio, they usually trip up when trying to read the words. This often happens to me when I've tried to read introductory remarks, leaving me mystified: why can I give a 45-minute speech from memory without missing a beat, but stumble through reading a few words that are right in front of me? (One explanation comes from classic research by psychologist Robert Zajonc: the presence of an audience enhances performance for well-learned tasks, but hinders performance when we're novices. We're used to reading silently, not out loud in front of large groups, and the arousal interferes with fluent processing.)

An Interview with Eric Sprinkling
"Any experience that you can get working alongside or observing x ray techs and other medical professionals is something that you should pursue if you are interested in this field."
Eric Sprinkling is the lead x ray technologist at Doctors Express Urgent Care in Seattle, Washington. He earned a Certificate in X Ray Technology in 2003 and a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication from Portland State University in 1999. Eric has been an x ray technologist for 6 years.
Eric became an x ray tech after working as a registration clerk in the emergency room at a hospital. He enjoys his current position because he is able to work in many medical environments and has the opportunity to learn from co-workers, radiologists and physicians.
In your own words, what is an x ray technologist?
An x ray technologist is an allied healthcare professional who works in support of individual doctors or an entire hospital to provide diagnostic imagery, or x rays. X ray techs might operate equipment in operating rooms, pain clinics or in doctors' offices.
X ray techs usually earn hourly wages, and the amount of money you make depends on your level of experience and the cost of living where you work. In Washington state, for example, x ray techs can expect to make between $22 and $30 an hour. Different workplaces also offer different levels of compensation. The best place to learn more about the job and job prospects is on the website for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
If a student said to you, "I am interested in becoming an x ray tech," what would your response be?
I would tell the student that you should be aware of where you want to work once you finish an x ray tech program. Depending on how many hospitals and clinics there are in your area as well as how many students graduate as x ray techs, the ease with which you find a job can vary quite a bit. Going to school is always a big financial investment, so make sure that there are enough jobs available in your community before you make the commitment.
What level of education is necessary to become an x ray tech?
In order to become an x ray tech, you need to earn a 2-year degree. You can also opt to earn a 4-year degree and become an x ray tech or a physician's assistant, which will give you more options in the long run.
Are there any licensing or certification requirements to become an x ray technologist?
Yes, you need to become certified to work as an x ray technologist. At the end of a 2-year program, students take a long test that includes about 200 questions. You have to meet a minimum score on that test in order to earn your certification. There are also continuing education requirements that you need to fulfill once you enter the field.
Why did you decide to become an x ray tech?
I decided to become an x ray tech while I was working in the emergency room as a registration clerk. After a couple of years, I decided that I wanted to fulfill a more clinical function. I talked with co-workers who were already x ray techs, and it sounded like a good fit for me. It is also a very flexible career that you can use to take on more responsibility if you want, so I liked knowing that I would have additional options for the future.
What were the biggest misconceptions that you had about becoming an x ray technician?
Before I started working as an x ray technician, I didn't fully understand how much contact we have with patients and how much we see in a hospital. You can be present during procedures that are difficult to watch, or you might see a lot of blood or see patients vomit, pass out or be in pain and distress.
I also think that people often don't realize how much responsibility x ray techs have in patients' health and diagnosis. There is much more detail to our job than it may seem.
What do you enjoy most and least about being an x ray technician?
I enjoy that I am able to work in a variety of different settings as an x ray technician. Before I started working at the urgent care clinic here in Seattle, I worked at a pain clinic in Boston. I was able to learn a lot from the radiologist who ran the clinic, and I feel like I am able to learn and gain new skills in this field.
The thing that I least enjoy about my job is working with doctors who are under a lot of stress and have high demands. Sometimes doctors have expectations of you that you simply cannot meet until you have worked with them and learned their system.
What is a typical week like for you?
At the urgent care clinic where I currently work, I fulfill many duties in addition to working as an x ray tech because the clinic is not comprehensively staffed. I register patients, do triage, take insurance information, do lab work, take patients' vitals including blood pressure, temperature, height, weight and record their allergies and known medical history.
Everything that I have described up until this point is work that is not typically performed by x ray techs. After I have helped the patient get in the door, I bring them to the doctor, and if the doctor orders an x ray, I will perform the x ray. After the x ray is taken, I will bill the patient, and I might collect their payment as well.
X ray techs who work in hospitals have very different work days. Often, you will walk into your department at the hospital and you will be told where you will work for that day. When I worked in a hospital, I would deliver x ray equipment to my work area, and if I hadn't worked with the particular doctor who I was assigned to, I would ask my colleagues if there was anything unique to their process. Then I will perform the x rays requested by the doctor. In hospitals, you can bounce between different departments on a daily basis or be assigned to 1 department for many months at a time.
How do you balance your work and your personal life?
I don't have a hard time balancing my work and personal life because I currently work part time. My wife and I have consciously chosen to work less and make sacrifices in terms of salary and our standard of living in order to have more time to do the things we enjoy. I have a young daughter as well, so working part time means that I can be around for her.
What personality traits do you think would help someone succeed as an x ray tech and what traits would hinder success?
To succeed as an x ray tech, you should be patient, detail-oriented and able to communicate clearly. Most of the time, you work by yourself, but you also follow the directions of doctors and radiologists, so good communication is a must. It is also important to be patient with them and know that they are very busy. And since you are responsible for producing high quality images, being able to notice the small details will help a lot.
On the other hand, being arrogant or over-confident will hold you back from succeeding as an x ray tech. There is always something you can learn in this field, and if you take the attitude that your co-workers are simply your co-workers rather than people you can learn from, you will not be as successful in the long run.
Looking back at your formal education, is there anything you would have done differently?
I don't regret the path I took, but I did things a little differently than most students. I spent 4 years earning a college degree and then spent another 2 years earning a technical certificate to be an x ray tech. Though I value my education a lot, I would be able to make the same amount of money with or without my bachelors degree.
Are there any extra-curricular experiences that you think a student interested in becoming an x ray tech should pursue?
Any experience that you can get working alongside or observing x ray techs and other medical professionals is something that you should pursue if you are interested in this field. If you can find internship opportunities in any kind of medical work environment, you will be able to see what the day-to-day job and routine is like for medical professionals.
What classes did you take during your schooling that you have found to be the most and least valuable for the work you do today?
In my x ray tech program, I spent about half of the program taking classes and the other half doing clinical work. The clinical work was certainly the most applicable to my job, but the class that I enjoyed the most was physics. We learned how radiology actually works and what it is doing to the patient's body to produce an image. I found this fascinating.
The least valuable class that I took taught us about the mechanics of the machines we use and how to repair them if they break. Since I have worked as an x ray tech, I haven't had to repair any of our machines, since we call in a specialist to do this.
What words of advice or caution would you share with a student who is interested in becoming an x ray technologist?
If you are interested in becoming an x ray technologist, I would advise you to do your research. Make sure that this is the field you really want to get into, and make sure you understand what kind of educational program you need to complete to begin your career. The American Society of Radiologic Technologists and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists are 2 great resources. On their websites, they provide information about the continuing education requirements that you need to keep your certification up-to-date as well as information about the field, job prospects and job duties.
I would also recommend that you talk to multiple x ray techs before you make a decision about entering the profession. Everyone has a different experience on the job, so don't take just 1 person's experience as the way that things work everywhere.

Eye on the birdie
Salceda wins big at badminton tourney
Jan Salceda is one versatile badminton player.
The Grade 11 Sisler High School student placed first in the boy's singles competition at the provincial badminton championships, which took place May 2 and 3 at College Louis-Riel.
In 2013, Salceda, paired with his older sister Patricia, won the mixed doubles competition at provincials. In both tournaments, Salceda went undefeated.
"He has a tremendous ability to read his opponent on the other side of the court and make his shots adjust to them," said Sisler badminton coach Jan Watters.
"If someone isn't moving around enough, he will move them right and left. If they're smashing really well, he'll challenge them and put drop shots on them. If they're really good at the net, he'll drive them deep. He's really good at reading his opponent and making decisions based on that."
Salceda started playing badminton as a child in his native Philippines. At age seven, he and his family moved to Canada, and his parents signed him up for club badminton with Archie Chawla at the Winnipeg Winter Club.
Salceda, who also plays with the Rockets Badminton Club at Maples Collegiate, said his greatest strength on the court is his footwork, a skill that was stressed in club badminton.
"My coach would make us do at least 45 minutes of footwork, twice a week," Salceda said.
"My footwork is better than most. I use that as an advantage. I make them run more around the court, so they'll lose their footwork."
Despite winning the provincial boy singles crown, Salceda said he prefers doubles because in singles "you have to cover the whole court and you get down on yourself more."
Still, Salceda said he's able to keep his composure on the court.
"I just talk to myself when I play. I just ask myself to calm down," Salceda said. "When you play, you have to make sure you're not hotheaded, because if you are, you'll start making worse shots and it gets harder from there."
Watters said other coaches have commented on how gentlemanly a player Salceda is.
"He's so sportsmanlike," Watters said. "He may beat his opponent, but he does it in a way that never humiliates the other person or makes the other person look bad. He could wind up and crank a shot and just let you have it but he doesn't. He just hits a good enough shot to get the point."
Salceda, who also plays volleyball, said he plans to continue his badminton career next year.

PCTEL Releases ProsettaCore™ Software Developer's Kit (SDK) To Beta Test Customers
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in antenna and scanning receiver solutions, announced today that its joint venture, PCTEL Secure LLC, released its ProsettaCore™ security solution as a Software Developer's Kit (SDK) to beta test customers. During the beta test, the customers will evaluate the solution, provide feedback to PCTEL, and negotiate the terms of their potential license. As previously discussed during PCTEL's first quarter earnings release conference call, the beta test customers include government, defense systems integrators, and semiconductor entities.
"We are excited about this milestone," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "This program has been on track for 15 months. During that period, we created and filed three patent applications, developed a prototype that demonstrated the pervasive security threats to Android-based, mobile devices, and now we have delivered the ProsettaCore product in the form of a well-documented SDK which third parties can incorporate into their mobile solutions. We are pursuing three business paths: the licensing of the SDK to significant players in the industry, the packaging of a security test environment, and our own development of security solutions for SCADA applications," added Singer.
The ProsettaCore solution allows for a trusted execution environment whereby multiple distinct security policies can run on Android. The tools provided help the developer create simple XML policies and burn them into the image. For example, the target could have a "Personal Use" policy, and a "Secure" policy, each having different configuration files, apps, access privileges, and more.
ProsettaCore adds a thin layer around Linux to enforce Mandatory Access Control (MAC) security policies at both the operating system level and below, while still allowing for complete compatibility with existing Linux and Android security models and applications. In fact, the ProsettaCore model allows for applications to be placed into secure categories without the re-engineering associated with traditional isolation architectures, which reduces cost and time to market.

Former city comptroller accused of bribery, corruption in Ohio
BY MITCH DUDEK AND FRAN SPIELMAN Staff Reporters August 15, 2013 7:30PM
Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel announced on April 20, 2011, that Amer Ahmad (left), would be his comptroller. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Updated: September 17, 2013 8:27AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to order an audit of the work of his former comptroller, Amer Ahmad, after learning Thursday of a federal indictment accusing Ahmad of money laundering, bribery and other public corruption charges related to his previous position as deputy treasurer in the state of Ohio.
The indictment alleges that Ahmad, 38, used his authority in the Ohio treasurer's office to direct state business to Douglas E. Hampton, 39, a securities broker from Canton, Ohio, in return for payments from Hampton.
"We have no reason to believe and have no knowledge of any such wrongdoing during his tenure in Chicago," Sarah Hamilton, communications director for the mayor, who's on vacation, said in a statement. "But we will take any action that is needed — including conducting a review of Finance Department activities over the last two years — to ensure that Chicago taxpayers are protected."
Ahmad and Joseph Chiavaroli, 33, of Chicago, allegedly concealed those payments from Hampton by passing them through the accounts of a landscaping business in which Ahmad and Chiavaroli held ownership interests. Hampton also allegedly funneled in excess of $123,000 to Mohammed Noure Alo, an attorney and lobbyist who is Ahmad's close personal friend and business associate. As a result of the scheme, Hampton allegedly received about $3.2 million in commissions for 360 trades on behalf of the Ohio Treasurer's office. Ahmad and his co-conspirators allegedly received in excess of $500,000 from Hampton.
Contacted Thursday evening, Ahmad texted a Chicago Sun-Times reporter a copy of a Market Watch story that stated he planned to plead not guilty Monday in federal court.
While working for Emanuel, Ahmad played a pivotal role in disbanding the Department of Revenue and folding it into the Department of Finance, which came under Ahmad's control. He also dramatically reduced the amount of outstanding fines owed to the city by going after scofflaws. The move generated an additonal $70 million in 2012 alone.
Earlier this year, Ahmad served as the point man in Emanuel's controversial decision to phase out Chicago's 55 percent subsidy for retiree health care by 2017 while continuing that coverage for the oldest retirees.
The plan will free taxpayers from a $108.7 million-a-year burden. Thirty thousand retired city employees will be forced to switch to Obamacare.
Emanuel praised Ahmad's work in a new release issued last month announcing his resignation, saying: "Amer has played an integral role in my efforts to reform government, strengthen the city's finances, and professionalize our approach to fiscal management."
Before joining Emanuel's administration, Ahmad had worked as a corporate finance investment banker for Wasserstein Perella, the firm where Emanuel made his millions. He also worked at William Blair & Company and KeyCorp Bank.
Ahmad's abrupt departure immediately followed an unprecedented triple drop in Chicago's bond rating and preceded the unveiling of Chicago's 2014 preliminary budget.
Ahmad said then that he was leaving the Emanuel administration to work in the private sector. City Hall sources said Thursday the federal investigation and impending indictment had nothing to do with Ahmad's abrupt departure from City Hall.

Year of the Horse
Today is the Lunar New Year and the Chinese Year of the Horse. The horse is part of a 12-year-cycle of animals that make up the Chinese zodiac. These interact with the five elements: wood, metal, fire, water, earth. 2014 is the year of the wood horse. So Happy New Year or in Chinese, pronounced: Gong Xi Fa Cai(Mandarin) and Gong Hey Fat Choy(Cantonese)! Denver Broncos fans, it is the year of the Horse so Go Broncos! Have a Have a Happy New Year and enjoy the Super Bowl this weekend!
Oh and information on this image: I captured this horse in a pasture in Grand Teton National Park, grazing among the wildflowers near a stand of aspen trees. Wonderful scene and some beautiful horses. I used a long lens and captured this horse from a distance with a shallow depth of field.

Sunset: Idaho side of the Grand Tetons
I've seen many views of the Teton Mountain Range from the Wyoming side, but tonight I'll be showing you the Idaho side of the Grand Tetons. Ryan Wright and I had spent evening having dinner with some of his wonderful cousins in Victor, Idaho, which is in the southern end of Teton Valley.
The Idaho side just seemed much more laid back then in bustling town of Jackson, Wyoming, which is the resort town for Grand Teton National Park and home to some bustling ski areas in the winter. I think I could definitely live on the Idaho side.
If you ever venture over to Victor, be sure to stop into Wildlife Brewing for some great beer and good food. I highly recommend you try their homemade Elk Sausage for an appetizer! Wow!
After dinner we headed over to near Driggs, Idaho. The area is mostly a farming community and is nestled in the community is the Grand Targhee Resort . We found this wonderful view of Grand Teton along a dirt road and setup quickly for the sunset. The evening was perfect as the sky light up with reds and oranges with the added clouds in the sky for some drama. The pasture land with some abandoned homesteads made for a perfect foreground to the alpenglow lighting up the Idaho side of Grand Tetons. I am tempted to say I like the Idaho side better, but won't. It's just unique and a different view of a wonderful mountain is always refreshing!
Capture Notes:
- For this sunset, just like a sunrise, I used a Graduated Neutral Density filter to balance the brightness between the upper part of the image where the sun is hitting and the lower part that is not illuminated by the sunlight yet. This allows the image to be balanced so you can capture the photo in a single exposure. I prefer Singh-Ray filters and use the Lee Filter Kit System to hold the filters in place, which is especially useful for long exposures. I prefer the Singh-Ray Filters because they don't leave any unusual color casts like some of the cheaper competitors. They are worth the money.

Bullish on America
There is plenty of farm and pasture land on the eastern plains of Colorado. Farming and ranching is still very prevalent on the eastern plains so it's not uncommon to see herds of animals grazing in the pastures along the side of the road. Driving along a this dirt road as I was heading back to the highway I noticed this lone bull grazing. It just looked like the a wonderful scene to capture. I could tell by the way the bull was licking his lips he didn't want anything to do with me so I quickly took a shot and went on my way. Just another slice of Americana out on the plains of Colorado.

Catching Some Rays
During my fall trip to the Grand Tetons there was a large open field with bison and horses just out grazing in the morning sun about mid-morning. I noticed these two horses just standing in the middle of the pasture with their eyes closed facing into the sun. I'm sure the warmth of the morning sun felt good . It just looked as if they were "catching some rays" and taking a mid-morning nap.

Bullish Memories
My dad and I were driving down Colorado Highway 50 heading home from a long weekend trip fishing down along the Gunnison River (my trip to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison earlier this year) and I was just staring out the window watching the miles pass. I noticed this red barn coming up which started to peak my interest.
There have been many times in the past driving along that I wish I would have captured some sunset, some cloud formation, an abandoned car along the side of the road and I decide to keep driving. Inevitably I start kicking myself for not stopping a few minutes to capture the image.
We approach this red barn and I notice there is this single bull standing out in front of the barn. What a great scene! I yell over to my dad to STOP the car. Dad yells out "What's wrong?!" I swing open the door, run out to this field along the side of the road, dSLR in tow and snap this scene. I think this bull is asking who this nut job is. I get back to the car and my dad is shaking his head and I'm smiling ear to ear!
This weekend I've finally had a chance to really dig through the images from the trip down to the Black Canyon. I can't believe I passed up this image in processing. My dad's been asking me for pictures from the trip so I've decided to put together a book for him from our trip. It was a special weekend together, that male bonding weekend. This image is going in the book. It's just one of those crazy fleeting memories together. Hopefully it brings a smile to his face. I know it brought a smile to my face.

Odd Couples:
"[A]n amazing story. . . . [A]n easy and enjoyable read. . . . It is ambitious, it is an excellent natural history chronicle and it is a nice encyclopedia of sexual differences. Overall, a good one for the library."--D. J. Hosken, Current Biology
"Looking at some of the most amazing creatures on the planet, Odd Couples sheds astonishing light on what it means to be male or female in the animal kingdom."--Northeastern and Southeastern Naturalist
"[T]his accessible volume is well organized, and its impressive helpings of technical details never impede readability."--Adrian Barnett, BBC Wildlife Magazine
"In observing the differences between genders, Darwin proposed both individual and natural selection. In this well-written, fascinating volume, Fairbairn explores how the two kinds of selection work to produce the 'odd couples' of the title. . . . [Odd Couples] should appeal to lay and professional readers alike."--Choice
"Odd Couples is a very informative and enjoyable book for anyone interested in animal life history. . . . I can recommend it for any interested naturalist whether professional or nonprofessional."--Roger D. Applegate, Canadian Field Naturalist
"Be prepared to be entertained and fascinated by this stimulating and provocative book. It is certain to spark your curiosity. Fairbairn lakes us on a romp through the animal kingdom. . . . This book provides ample incentive for continued investigations."--Ann Hedrick, Ecology
"Odd Couples present[s] a fun and enlightening plunge into the natural history of some very exceptional animals, along with an authoritative and accessible summary of current evolutionary theory on sex differences."--Robert Cox, Reports of the National Center for Science Education
"If you want to find out why adult male elephant seals can weigh more than four times as much as an adult female, whereas female blanket octopuses are truly enormous compared to their tiny male partners, this fascinating book is for you. Daphne Fairbairn not only introduces us to some exceptional animals but she also provides evolutionary explanations for why males are much larger (or much smaller) than females of their species. A great topic and a great read for layperson and biologist alike."--John Alcock, author of Animal Behavior: An Evolutionary Approach
"Odd couples indeed! Fairbairn takes us on a journey through oceans, grasslands, beaches, and backyards, plunging us into the worlds of nature's most weird and wonderful creatures, all to answer one question: why are males and females different? By tackling extremes--such as male octopuses forty thousand times lighter than their mates, and parasitic male seadevils who fuse themselves to the bellies of females--she deftly illustrates how a common set of concepts can connect them all. A thoroughly enjoyable read."--Doug Emlen, coauthor of Evolution: Making Sense of Life
"A fascinating natural history account of some extreme and unfamiliar examples of sexual differences among animals. A real eye-opener."--Mark Elgar, University of Melbourne
"This unique, ambitious, and engaging book educates general readers about animal behavior, physiology, life history, and evolution using sex differences as its theme. Quite an achievement and a pleasure to read."--Allen J. Moore, University of Georgia

Linda Ramone, the widow of the Ramones guitarist, Johnny Ramone, has said that she plans on doing a biopic of the band.
Speaking with Rolling Stone magazine, Linda added that she's not sure what the basis of the film would be.
"It would be nice to do a Ramones movie," she said. "I will do one no matter what. Maybe it will be just based more on Commando. I'm working on it right now. We're in discussions, which is always a fun time."
Commando, the possible foundation of the flick, is the autobiography written by Johnny, which discusses his time with the band.
She added that she had someone in mind to play her deceased husband.
"Of course everybody would want Johnny Depp to play him, because he's cool and looks good. He's super nice to me and he used to always talk to Johnny if we'd go to the Viper Room. His band opened up for the Ramones years and years ago."

LOGIN TO myHadassah
November 7, 2013, the Senate passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would ban employment decisions on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill passed the Senate in a bipartisan vote of 64-32, but it now moves to the House, where it faces tough opposition. Thank your Senators for standing up against discrimination and urge your Representatives to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)!
In 29 states it is legal to be denied a job, fired, or passed over for a promotion on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Hadassah is a long time advocate for equal rights—for women, minorities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community—and vigorously condemns discrimination of any kind. In 2006, Hadassah passed a policy statement on LGBT Equality, supporting the passage of state and federal civil rights legislation to protect against hate crimes and discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Hadassah was proud to join with other religious organizations in a joint letter urging Congress to pass this legislation. "Our faith traditions hold different and sometimes evolving beliefs about the nature of human sexuality and marriage as well as gender identity and gender expression, but we can all agree on the fundamental premise that every human being is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect in the workplace."
In order to respect religious liberty, the legislation does include an exception for religious organizations as defined in the Civil Rights Act. This afternoon, the Senate voted down an amendment that would have expanded this exception, which would have potentially opened the door for a wide range of employers to discriminate.
ENDA is a common sense piece of legislation that will ensure all workers—regardless of race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity—are protected from discrimination. Make your voice heard! Urge your Representatives to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act today.

Streamlined Parameters Panel for P8/Pro2010
by, 08-07-2010 at 02:17 AM (2092 Views)
A PDF of this tutorial can be downloaded HERE (right-click, save as).
This is a hack or modification to the Poser UI to give a more streamlined Parameters Panel and save you some real estate so that you can see more dials at one time. This is for Poser 8 and Poser Pro 2010 only.
Think of this as a "flat" style. You "turn dials" by clicking and dragging across the dial name. The "nudge arrows" are retained. This modification may require you to expand the width of the parameters panel a bit but I think that the savings are worth it!
It does give up one thing, the dependent parameters icon, simply because I could not get it to align properly. You still can "Edit Dependencies" from the dial menu. If someone wants to fool around with this tutorial and get the icon to align properly, comment on this blog!
This tutorial is intended to instruct you how to modify your own program. I will not share modified files but this is easy and you can do it on your own! Follow these instructions to the letter.
This was written using a PC. I don't know if this works similarly on mac. If a mac user wants to try this and it works, please comment on the blog.
Tools Required:
- A text editor (please use something other than Notepad that comes with windows). Notepad++ is free software under the GPL license and I highly recommend it: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
- Photoshop. I am unsure if Paint Shop Pro or Gimp or other programs will work correctly.
Backup the Original Files:
Head over to Runtime/UI in your main Poser 8 or Poser Pro 2010 installation and backup these files (copy and paste them somewhere, zip them up or what-have-you):
You may need to restore them before applying any future Poser Service Releases.
Close Poser
Close the Poser application while doing this in order to see the changes.
Part One: Modify the PSD
- Open photoshop and load 24000_parmDialPrefs.psd.
- Do a Select All (Ctrl+A).
- In the Layers Palette, select 24005_DialGradient and in the Edit menu, choose Clear. Do not delete this layer, change the opacity or anything else. You must use Clear.
- Do the same for orig_20004_Dial (you may wish to re-hide it), 24004_Dial and 24006_DialBackground.
- Save 24000_parmDialPrefs.psd.
Part Two: Modify the XML
- Open parmDialPrefs.xml in your text editor.
- From lines 3 to 4, replace this:
with this:Code:
- At line 28, replace this:Code:
with this:Code:
- At line 37, replace this:Code:

- At line 45, replace this:Code:
