A third-straight shutout and sixth in the last seven games allowed the No. 6/6 Texas Softball team to extended its season-opening winning streak to 12 games Wednesday night as the Longhorns downed Houston Baptist 5-0 at Red & Charline McCombs Field. Senior Taylor Hoagland and junior Brejae Washington combined for four hits and four runs scored to back senior pitcher Kim Bruins' complete-game shutout.
UT's 12-0 record gives the team the second-longest winning streak to open a season in program history. Helping the win streak has been a Texas offense that has outscored opponents 41-0 in the last 19 innings and 57-2 in the last six games.
Bruins (3-0) recorded her third consecutive shutout, holding the Huskies to four hits while striking out eight, one shy of her career high. She extended her career-best scoreless innings streak to 19.0. Houston Baptist's Keely Shuler (1-1) took the loss, allowing four runs on four hits in two-and-a-third innings. Sarah Shotton came in for the final three-and-two-thirds, struck out six and surrendered one run on three hits.
Texas jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Hoagland led off with a single through the left side, stole second and eventually scored after a throwing error by the Huskies' third baseman on a Washington bunt. Washington moved to second on the error, stole third and came home on a Shuler illegal pitch.
UT tacked on two more runs in the third, thanks again to the bats of Hoagland and Washington. Hoagland launched a solo home run, her third of the year, over the left field wall. Washington followed with a single to left field, and after stealing second, scored on an RBI single by Bruins.The Longhorns scored their final run in the bottom of the fourth inning. Freshman Stephanie Ceo singled and advanced to second on an Erin Shireman single. After a fielder's choice moved Ceo to third, she scored on a wild pitch.
Lauren Schwirtlich tallied two of the Huskies' four hits, but HBU never had more than one runner on base in an inning as Bruins faced three batters over the minimum.UT will be back in action this weekend as host of the Texas Invitational presented by Time Warner Cable. The Longhorns have a doubleheader Friday, facing Lamar at 4:30 and Tulsa at 6:30 p.m. CT.

It all started with making sure that we were over 48" tall. No problem there! Then the next step was to select the matt that we were to use for the ride down the slide. Think of it as your own magic carpet ride! We patiently climbed the stairs to get to the top of the slide and were truly hot by this time. As we approached the top of the slide, a slight apprehension started to be felt, but we pushed forward. Then it was our time to experience the water slide.
We placed the matt into position and gently sat into position. Before we knew it we were off and speeding down the water slide! Between the nervous laughter and hoots of fun we safely made it around the hairpin turns, through the tunnels, and to the bottom of the slide where we plunged into the pool below.
Now, that is how to enjoy a summer's day when staying at the Old Field House Inn!
Skiing in North Conway, NH has just gotten easier with the new Old Field House Inn Ski Club! Are you planning to ski at Mt. Cranmore, Attitash, Wildcat, Black Mountain, or other New Hampshire ski areas next season? We know that it is June, but before we know it everyone will be thinking about the skiing season in the North Conway. So, if you are considering a ski house step back and think again. Both family and individuals are welcomed to participate and details are just being finalized. This sounds so much easier and enjoyable than when I participated in ski houses in the past that I may just have to dust of my skis and get back into the action!
Rumor has it that to become a member of the Old Field House Inn Ski Club, you will only have to commit to a minimum of three, two-night stays with limited blackout timeframes. Of course, longer stays are always welcomed! A non-refundable deposit will be required and as a member of the Old Field House Ski Club, guests will be entitled to a 50% discount off of the room rate. This is only the first step! If you choose to commit to more than three visits, guidelines will be modified and the rewards will be enhanced with no blackout timeframes!

At. St. Mary's Senior Connection, we are frequently asked this question and, based on your particular situation, our response is always the same:
Long term care insurance can be structured in many different ways, so it's much different than any other kind of insurance you may be familiar with. Many factors will determine how we might design a policy to meet your needs and concerns. Factors include your age, your health, your financial situation, your ability to maintain premium payments over many years and why you feel you should have it. Is it to protect your assets? Are you trying to avoid ever having to rely on Medicaid? Do you want to make sure you don't become a burden to your children? Maybe it's all of the above.Our staff will take the time to meet with you personally to determine whether this insurance makes sense for you, and if it can can be designed to be affordable both now and in the future as your income changes.

In Explorer, since this afternoon, when I click on read more to get the longer version, the header changes to a list of the pages on my blog, including those that are not public. This doesn't happen in Firefox. This is of course rather disturbing since people use Explorer. Does anyone know why this is happening. My blog is: http://www.strandsofmylife.comJanuary 14, 2013 at 11:42 am #11857
Went to your site.
This link:
Showed a dropdown menu on top with a lot of stuff under the content of the page. The whole page was different from other "read more" links of other posts like Eggs Benedict. Is this what you're talking about? I think we need a bit more info.
Please give a link to a correct page and any incorrect pages so we can compare.
Also…the page crashed in IE9 on my PC so I checked your page on validator.w3.org.
Not sure if this has something to do with your issues. Looks like there are some issues with some code in the page.January 14, 2013 at 12:36 pm #11877
Thanks for the answer. That's right. This is the page that is not right: http://www.strandsofmylife.com/strawberry-coconut-macaroons-grain-dairy-nut-and-refined-sugar-free/ while the home page and everything else is right. Idid suspect something has gone wrong with all the code and links in that particular post but how can I identify which part it is?January 14, 2013 at 12:47 pm #11881
How about just making a new post with that content? Sometimes it's just faster to start over.
Let me know how that goes.
ChrisJanuary 14, 2013 at 1:40 pm #11890
Chris, that is probably the best solution but that offer for sale info at the end of the post only needs to be there until 11.59pmEST so then it can come off. I suspect the issue is in that section because there are a lot of links in it. I'll see if the problem is gone when I remove it later today. Thanks.January 14, 2013 at 1:55 pm #11891
Oh, so if that's the issue, there might be an extra closing div </div> or something that's closing everything out earlier than desired.
Good luck. ChrisJanuary 14, 2013 at 2:49 pm #11906
I have done a search for those bits of code but can't find either, and not being very savvy about code, I wouldn't know what else to look for. It all looks normal to me but that might not be saying anything.

How to "Double-Filter" RV Drinking Water
July 10, 2013 by Loloho.com · Comments Off
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our E-mail Digest or RSS Feed. We will then send you the stories that are posted each day in an e-mail digest. We use a service called Feedburner for delivery of these emails. You will receive an e-mail from Feedburner after you subscribe and you must click on that email to activate your subscription. Thanks for visiting and enjoy all the information! RV.Net Blog AdminOn our LongLongHoneymoon.com website, people sometimes ask, "Do you drink the water in your RV?" Our reply? "Yes, and it's delicious." We "double-filter" our drinking water, and it's easy peasy. Here's how we do it. With regard to water sources, often we are reliant on unfamiliar public taps. So we use two products that work together to filter our drinking water. That's why our water is double-filtered. The first is the Camco TastePure water filter. This is simply a large water filter that easily attaches to the hose between the "city water" supply and the RV. It's a big boy and promises to last the entire camping season. We typically use a new one at the beginning of summer. It filters all water before it ever enters our RV. (And by the way, you can save a lot of money on these filters if you buy a two-pack.) The Camco RV water filter does a fine job to help produce great tasting drinking water. (Click the pic for more info.) If you read the Camco fine print, the company promises a "100 micron fiber...

The aging RVer
November 16, 2011 by Larry Cad · 259 Comments
I am sitting here tonight comtemplating that in two days I will "celebrate" my 67th birthday. On this event I am looking at our current and future RVing situation and wondering what the near future holds for this "aging RVer"?? With today's modern medical advances, 67 is not really "old", but for certain, I have noticed a difference in my abilities to live the RV lifestyle. In particular I have become keenly aware of limitation on my efforts to keep the motorhome clean, and polished. In the past I would spend hours washing, waxing, and meticulously cleaning the coach, taking pride in removing even small spots. This year the days have flown by and my RV sits in the driveway with a nice even coating of road dirt. Believe me this is something that in years past, would not have happened. Yet I simply cannot find time in my day to get the dirt off like I used to. My thought is that there used to be 24 hours in a day. Now it seems more like 18 or 19. Obviously this is a reflection of my diminishing energy level and reduced ability to get everything done that I want to do. My brain still works, at least I think it does, but my physical body just doesn't get things done as quickly as it used to, nor does it keep going as long as it used to. This situation is of course, a source of great frustration to me, and something I have to live with every day. So, I not only adjust my daily schedule to accomodate my reduced stamina,... Read more
Centenarians on the increase in Arizona
August 19, 2011 by Bob Difley · 14 Comments
By Bob Difley Want to live a long time? Drive your RV to Arizona. The US Census reports that there were 832 centenarians in the state in 2010, a 27% increase since 2000. According to Anne Morrison, director of education for the University of Arizona's Center on Aging, "Once they've hit 85, the healthy ones have shown they're strong enough to overcome problems," Morrison said. "If something hasn't taken them before that, they're good beyond 100." In all, residents between 100 and 104 increased from 598 in 2000 to 772 in 2011. Those from 105 to 109 increased from 42 in 2000 to 53 in 2010. There are a lot of contributors for the increase in old folks, like the improvements and discoveries in medical care, nutrition, and exercise. People smoke a lot less than previously, eat healthier food, and are generally more knowledgeable about their health and how to maintain it. And, believe it or not, falling down from slipping on ice or snow and breaking bones was a contributing factor to a shortened lifespan–and one of the reasons Arizona had such good numbers, there is not much of that down there. "They're starting to experience the vulnerabilities of aging, but they're camping, hiking, biking," said Melanie Starns, assistant director of the Arizona Department of Economic Service's Aging and Adult Services division. That's good news. It means that a lot of the things that we RVers like to do–camping,... Read more
It's the little things that make a boondocking lifestyle – Part 2
August 5, 2011 by Bob Difley · 26 Comments
By Bob Difley Last week's post (of the same name) triggered the unlikely discussions of electric blankets and the CPAP (sleep apnea) problem for boondockers. But it was more than that, it was a discussion of what is important for our personal enjoyment. So let's dig some more into how to cope with our individual quirks and idiosyncrasies (Qs & Is) when boondocking and exploring those destinations way off the beaten path. I'll start with my wife's Qs & Is (since I don't have any). As a health and fitness nut enthusiast, a most important requirement for her is access to fresh fruits and vegetables (FFV). Let me emphasize fresh here. It was never a question of whether we would orr would not continue to eat FFV when boondocking, but how would we accomplish it off in the depths of the primeval forest way out in the desert where we liked to camp–miles from the nearest organic food or farmers market. Supermarkets were few and far between in most of the places we explored and they usually left her dissatisfied and the local stores were usually deficient in the FFV category–especially the fresh part–if they had any fruits and veggies at all. The longest we could eke out the FFV supply before they withered into the inedible class was five days. As a result we had to build into our schedule and finances long trips to the nearest urban center for restocking. So off we would go, driving sometimes as far as 50 miles one way, and... Read more
What's to Love About Pickleball?
June 25, 2011 by Rex Vogel · 6 Comments
"It's the fastest-growing game in the country," said Robert Hayes, a devout pickleball player and president of the Venture Out Condo Association. "I love the game."

(Credit: Tom Tingle/The Arizona Republic) For player Don Bogle, a Mesa resident and one of the game's 350 ambassadors for the USA Pickleball Association, the sport is "addictive," The Arizona Republic reported. "You get such an adrenaline rush that it's like a runner's high," he said. Many people unfamiliar with the game marvel at the recent growth of a sport that was created 46 years ago. The game's biggest surge has evolved over the past five years since the Pickleball Association, an all-volunteer group, was founded, said David Johnson, the association's spokesman. "They've put a lot of effort into building the sport and promoting its growth throughout America and Canada," said the Seattle-area resident who turned his part-time pickleball equipment-sales business into a full-time enterprise two years ago. "And when snowbirds are introduced to the sport in places like Arizona they go back home to states like Michigan and introduce it to their friends. Michigan is now one of the more popular states to play pickleball," he said. "We hear a lot from recreation departments interested... Read more
Just do it: The active RV Lifestyle
January 29, 2011 by Bob Difley · 10 Comments
By Bob Difley You've been working hard all your life and now as retirement approaches, so do the day dreams of RVing around the country, wandering two-lane back roads, visiting small town America, exploring our national parks, boondocking in the forests and deserts, and snoozing in a camp chair by a babbling brook full of rainbow trout. Relaxation. You deserve it after all those stressful years. Kick back, enjoy doing nothing. And then all of a sudden you look in the mirror and find that 20 extra pounds of softness has accumulated around your middle. What is happening? What has taken its toll is the frantic activity of work, raising a family, mowing the lawn, all those activities not associated with an RV lifestyle have vanished, leaving an activity–and calorie burning–vacuum. Just setting up your camp chairs is not enough exercise. That's the bad news. The good news is, that once you've gotten the relaxation-means-doing-nothing out of the way, a whole new world of calorie-burning physical activity opens up enabling you to stay active, keep in physical condition, and feeling good without all the stresses you once felt. The RV Lifestyle offers myriad opportunities for physical play, of which only a small smattering follows: HIKING – Hiking is a wonderful way to see the surrounding area, places you can't get by vehicle, hidden canyons, following mountain streams, wildlife watching, finding hidden Alpine lakes. The beauty of it is that all... Read more
Dressing Up a Hiking Stick
August 31, 2010 by Barry & Monique Zander · 16 Comments
The Never-Bored RVers' regular Wednesday article (depending on availability of Internet connection) "Do you ever get tired of your RV life?" is a question that we are frequently asked by non-travelers. Your answer to that question probably isn't exactly the same as ours; however, we all are likely to say something like, "We enjoy our life on the road. If we didn't, we'd quit." To earn our appellation of "the Never-Bored RVers," we find lots of normal chores to focus on when we're not visiting new places and discovering new attractions. And as "camper-RVers," we gravitate to sites outside urban areas in natural settings, where we partake of our favorite diversion, hiking. From time to time in future articles we will recall for you some of our most interesting hikes — like "The Miracle of Romero Ponds" and "Saved By Cow Dung" — but before getting to those, we'd like to acquaint you with Monique's Collection: European hikers have for many years attached medallions to their hiking sticks. About a decade ago, a few gift shops in and around national parks began carrying their own medallions to commemorate hikes on area trails. As veteran hikers, we began buying and attaching medallions to Monique's hiking stick about seven years ago. But first, the tale of the sticks: Mine is a seasoned REI expandable aluminum pole, beat up from years on narrow paths through often-savage terrain. Monique's, on the other hand,... Read more
Technology Top 5 for 2009
December 29, 2009 by Chris Guld · 11 Comments
by Chris Guld, www.GeeksOnTour.com Jim and I are always learning about new technology – it's what we've done since the early 80s – and there is plenty to keep us occupied. But, 2009 has been remarkable when it comes to the proliferation of useful technology tools. There's something qualitatively different this year about technology and gadgets. People are actually *using* them. You don't have to be a geek to want this stuff. Not all my top 5 are brand new this year, but this is the year they've gone mainstream. Everyone I know had at least one technology item on their holiday gift list this year. You should also know that this is my personal list – I use a laptop computer a *lot* and I don't listen to very much music, otherwise I'm sure some of the fantastic new music players would be on my list. Every item shown below we have purchased and are currently using. If you are interested in buying one yourself, the links provided will take you to Amazon. They have good prices and good service, and, these links will tell them that you heard about it from Geeks on Tour – maybe we'll get enough credit to buy our next toy (a USB Video Camera)! Ok, here they are – in reverse order: #5: USB External Hard Drives I put this in last place only because they aren't sexy. But, OMG are they useful. They've gone mainstream this year because the capacity has grown and the price has dropped. ... Read more
Round Belly? Crunch It
October 28, 2009 by Lynn Difley · 503 Comments
By Lynn Difley The most common question I am asked by students and fellow Rvers is what is the best thing I can do to trim my belly? It seems a universal annoyance, the fact that as we age, our six pack turns into a keg shape and refuses to reduce no matter how we frown at it. First of all, let me say that there is no way that a 60 year old belly is going to be as flat as a 20 year old belly. Read more Read More →
Start the Day Right: Eat Breakfast
October 21, 2009 by Lynn Difley · 3 Comments
"I don't have the time or inclination to eat breakfast first thing in the morning. I'd rather get my walk in and some miles down the road before I eat. I figure it's just that fewer calories I'll eat in the day," said a student in answer to my question, what did you eat for breakfast?" If you agree, and make a habit of skipping the first meal of the day I want you to reconsider and take into account the following. Read more Read More →

Book Review: The Poacher's Son
By Sandy Amazeen Apr 22, 2010, 22:04 GMT
Set in the wilds of Maine, this is an explosive tale of an estranged son thrust into the hunt for a murderous fugitive---his own father.Game warden Mike Bowditch returns home one evening to find an alarming voice from the past on his answering machine: his father, Jack, a hard-drinking womanizer who makes his living poaching illegal game. An even more frightening call comes the next morning from the police: They ...more
Maine game warden Mike Bowditch was having problems, his job cost him a longtime girlfriend, paid so little he was perpetually broke and seemed a never-ending string of poachers and stupid tourists. After virtual silence for two years Mikes father, Jack leaves a strange message on the answering machine prompting a series of hard choices between job and family. Jack stands accused of a string of charges including murdering a state trooper and a paper company executive after a confrontational town meeting. While Mike knows his father is an alcoholic and known poacher, he cannot believe Jack is capable of murder and sets out to find the real murderer despite considerable resistance from the law enforcement community.
Doirons debut novel is a promising start to what is likely to be a series set in the Maine north woods and told as someone familiar with the countryside and its people. While an in-depth look at the value and price of family ties, this is also an evenly paced, nicely plotted murder mystery set in the great north woods.

Many celebrities have causes but far too many seem more interested in the public relations of giving back rather than the act itself. Alicia Keys is not one of those celebs. Spend a little time with her as we were lucky to do for her Guest Editor role on iVillage and it's clear helping others is deeply important to her.
"My mother, I think what she taught me the most, was empathy," Alicia told us during a recent in-depth interview at a New York City hotel. "She had this poster of the golden rule, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' And boom, I remember it being in the house. And she would always reference that in different ways, like, 'How would that make you feel?'"
That empathy ultimately led Alicia to create the Keep a Child Alive charity, devoted to providing medicines in India and Africa to families with children who have HIV/AIDS. "I understand what it feels like to be afraid and I understand what it feels like to not have what you wish you did. And, I understand what it feels like to be ignored and I feel all those things really deeply so it means something to me to be able to listen to somebody else and to be able to do something for somebody else."
Watch as Alicia talks about what it will feel like presenting an award to one of her greatest role models, Oprah Winfrey:
On Thursday, she'll do something for someone who has been giving back her entire career -- one of her biggest sources of inspiraton, Oprah Winfrey. Alicia will be presenting a special award to Oprah at her 9th annual Black Ball event, a fund-raiser for Keep a Child Alive, which will also feature performances by Beyonce, Carole King and Alicia herself, and will be hosted by Whoopi Goldberg.
"I think she's (Oprah's) the first person that ever showed me that you don't have to be some greedy jerk to be successful," said Alicia. "You can be just as successful by doing things that really do something for somebody."
So what's it going to feel like to present an award to someone she considers one of the biggest sources of inspiration in her life? "I'm so grateful for her reminding us of so many things," says Alicia. "To be able to celebrate her, honestly, is going to be really emotional and exciting and I feel -- I don't know how I'm going to feel. We'll see. I'll try to hold myself together."
She might pinch herself, but who could blame her!
Thank you, Alicia Keys, for what you are doing to help those less fortunate, for continuing to shine a light on the plight of HIV/AIDS, for showing you can be successful by doing things that really matter and for joining us this week as Guest Editor of iVillage.
You truly are a girl on fire, and you've helped so many of us see the "fire" in our own lives!

Something to root for, or at least watch for, this weekend: Derek Jeter has the highest batting average ever (.337) against the Angels. But if Jeter goes 0 for 9, his career average against the Angels will drop to .332, and Cookie Rojas (.333) will once again have the highest average against the Angels. If that happens, you might detect a little glee in Victor Rojas' announcing.

Positive portents still for gold and silver
With South African gold output continuing to fall, exacerbated by the power problems being experienced there, the gold price is being underpinned by production losses and the continuing 'managed' devaluation of the US dollar.
Posted: Monday , 25 Feb 2008
With gold and platinum very close to historic highs and palladium and silver close to recent peaks, observers, and investors, will be watching the precious metals markets closely this week and picking up fast on what may be seen as any defining trends.
This morning, all four precious metals initially moved to slightly ahead of Friday's closing levels with silver perhaps the best performer in percentage terms, but the European markets had not opened at the time of writing.
What are the portents? Overall still positive for all we would feel. In supply/demand terms gold is likely to remain strong, with one of the world's largest producers, South Africa's Gold Fields, for example, forecasting a 20-25 percent fall in its March quarter production due to the power outages earlier in the month and only being able to continue to operate at around 90 percent of its ideal power supply levels. Indeed the miner puts ongoing production losses as a result of the continuing electricity cutback at 15-20 percent and predicts nearly 7,000 job losses as a result.
Gold Fields is unlikely to be unique among South Africa's deep gold miners so we can expect similar losses elsewhere and with South Africa still probably the world's largest producer last year, albeit by a tiny margin over China, these losses have to be significant for the market helping to underpin the price.
But what of China? As South African production falls, Chinese output continues to rise, but so, according to reports from the World Gold Council does China's appetite for gold as a consumer. The country has now moved into second place in the gold consumption stakes overtaking the US, but still well behind India, and seemingly this growth has been apparent despite the rising metal price. But this is indicative of a huge trend as the Chinese domestic economy continues to grow at a huge place bringing more and more people every day into the potential gold owning bracket.
As to Chinese production, it too may have been hit in the first quarter due to the unprecedentedly bad and cold weather which hit the country ahead of the Chinese New Year. No figures have been forthcoming on this so far, but it is unlikely that only the country's coal producers have been suffering from the vagaries of the climate.
Overall though it will probably remain the strength of the US dollar which governs the principal movement pattern in the gold price and there is no sign yet that the semi-controlled dollar devaluation policy being exerted by the US Fed through interest rate cuts is drawing to a close. Analysts are looking for another half percent cut, although there is the possibility that if this doesn't occur there may be a blip in the advancing gold price pattern.
As we noted here in the article on silver on Friday - Positive on silver - despite chronic oversupply - silver is continuing to be dragged upwards by gold - or perhaps dragged is not the right word as the recent advance has been stronger in percentage terms than that for gold. As the gold price rises, the jewellery and investment offtake for silver will likely rise too as those who are being priced out of the gold market at the lower end of the earnings spectrum could well be persuaded to enter the market for silver instead, secure in the knowledge that of late at least silver has moved upwards alongside the gold price - and in some periods has outperformed its yellow cousin.

Distant RelationshipEveryday I wait by the phone. Hours are longer and it feels like time is endless. It feels like I have so much time when I have very little. I wait for him day by day counting down until I get to see him again. In his arms I feel safe and secure. Away from him I feel like nothing. I am stressed and sick of time. At night I lay in bed tossing and turning thinking about him constantly. I miss him terribly and at school it's hard to concentrate. My world looks black and white and people around me are smiling and laughing and getting everything they want. They don't know how lucky they are and yet they take everything for granted. I would do anything just to see his smile. I miss the little things he use to do and say when I was with him. People tell me I should brake up with him and find someone new but I could never do that because without him I wouldn't be myself. I would be lost in endless darkness.
No, no, no... you have *ONE* life, don't waste it sitting by a phone.
Go, life life, learn, play, enjoy. If you are with a good man, he'll want you to life life and grow. Every time you talk to him, have a new story, a new adventure, a new skill, a new talent. Go discover yourself!
You can not rely on some else to color your world. Because then the world is only painted in *their* colors. We all have something special to offer the world. You have your own unique pallet to offer the world. Find out what your 'something' special is.
There is a saying, "Boring is a state of mind." Living in the country has nothing to do with quality of life. You are responsible for giving yourself a good life experience. Do your best!
Honestly, I am quite pragmatic as well. That's ok though. Being happy or fulfilled doesn't mean you have to go prancing around like a grinning idiot. lol
Being positive or negative is a choice. You simply decide to see both sides and give the positive side of things the benefit of the doubt more often then not. It doesn't mean you ignore the negative side.
Just start with little things. Be engaged with life. Make an effort to connect. Look around and SEE things. It is really that simple. So. It's a boring day, raining and you are stuck in a classroom. Instead of staring at your pant leg and fantasizing about your far-away guy, look around. Notice that a classmate changed her hair, and comment. See that the rain dances down the window and draw a sketch of it. Notice the temperature and write a journal entry about cold weather. See that your teacher threw wet books on her desk, offer to give her a tissue. Simple, small things. Then at the end of EVERY day, look back at your day and remember 10 things that made you happy that day. It's amazing how much you can find if you look. :)

Who attends seminars? All sorts of people who hope to gain all sorts of insights.
Businesses are big customers on the seminar scene. Large corporations, having gone through the economic and emotional trauma of downsizing, often decide that hiring out training and motivational seminars is more cost-effective than developing them in-house. Sometimes they send their employees off-site to attend these events; sometimes they invite the seminar presenter into their own facilities. Smaller companies are good seminar customers for similar reasons. They don't have the in-house means to develop training and motivational programs, so they rely on outside sources.
What's Inside
- Introduction
- Target Market
- Startup Costs
- Operations
- Finding Presenters
- Income and Billing
- Marketing
- Resources
More articles on import/export businesses »
The most popular training topics include customer service and creative problem-solving, but they can also encompass internal communications and even math or reading 101. Leadership, self-motivation and sales motivation are also perennially popular topics.
Professional and civic associations are always on the lookout for keynote speakers to set off their annual conventions as well as to conduct workshops and conferences. Business networking groups are prime candidates for programs on motivation, time management, organization, positive thinking and goal-achievement. Medical societies want to hear about insurance issues, new surgical techniques and office management.
Don't underestimate the benefits of targeting small, local groups that have nothing to do with business. Churches and temples, senior centers, and men's and women's clubs can make terrific audiences along with singles clubs, single parents' groups, local sports clubs, civic organizations, networking groups, writers' groups, book clubs and garden clubs. Their budgets are likely to be smaller than those of corporate America or national associations, but you can gain invaluable experience, both in working with an audience and in market research. You can also gain prime exposure from these gigs. You never know what contacts you'll make that will lead to more lucrative engagements down the line.
Another valuable--and voluminous--market is the mass market--the public at large--which has a voracious appetite for self-help programs of every description. Take a look at the magazines on display at your local supermarket and at the bestselling books on view in your local bookstore. You'll get a quick idea of what people want: how to make money or save money, afford a home, find true love or save a marriage, raise successful kids, be successful, deal with stress, get healthy, lose weight, gain self-confidence, and again--the real key to all the rest--how to get and remain motivated.
Choosing Your Seminar Topic
The best way to start is by thinking about what you know, what you enjoy and what your potential customers need or want. Then test your ideas against the following:
- Your topics must be things you or your presenters are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about.
- You must have a large customer base from which to draw.
- You must have a well-defined topic.
- Your topics must address your audiences' wants and needs.
The most popular presentation topic for National Speakers Association (NSA) members is motivation (43 percent), followed by communication (35 percent) and business (30 percent). Rounding out the top 10 topic areas are leadership, change, customer service, management, inspiration, team-building and presentation skills.

Pixar will earn yet another number one debut this weekend.
Their latest effort, Brave, topped the box office on Friday with an estimated $24.5 million — far above the rest of the competition. While the result is a touch behind Cars 2's first day of $25.7 million (on the way to a $66.1 million debut), since Brave is not a sequel, it will likely hold up a bit better over the rest of the weekend. The Scottish adventure will reach the box office highlands with about $67 million this weekend. READ FULL STORY

2014 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Week 13 Breakdown
New Cowboy Stadium with Jumbo Screen
Image by Princess Stand in the Rain
According to Wikipedia, the Cowboys Stadium was designed by the Dallas-based architectural firm HKS. Besides the Cowboys, the new stadium will be used by college football teams and other organizations for other sporting and non-sporting events. On March 10, 2008, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, joined by officials and coaches from Texas A&M University and the University of Arkansas (Jones' alma mater), announced that the two schools would renew their rivalry with annual games at the stadium, beginning October 3, 2009.[6] In addition, the Cotton Bowl will be moved to the stadium once it opens. Originally estimated to cost 0 million, the stadium's current construction cost is .15 billion, which would make it one of the most expensive sports venues ever built. To aid Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones in paying the construction costs of the new stadium, Arlington voters approved the increase of the city's sales tax by one-half of a percent, the hotel occupancy tax by 2 percent, and car rental tax by 5 percent. The City of Arlington will provide 5 million in funding, and Jones will cover any cost overruns. Also, the NFL will provide the Cowboys with an additional 0 million, as per their policy for giving teams a certain lump sum of money for stadium financing. There will be a separate section for Texans who are blind or deaf.
Although the stadium had yet to sell naming rights, many fans started referring to the project as "Jerry World" or "Six Flags Over Jerry" in reference to Jerry Jones and Six Flags Over Texas, which is near the new stadium.[10] There was also a petition by some fans to have the stadium named after longtime Cowboys coach Tom Landry. On May 13, 2009, Jerry Jones announced the official name; the Cowboys Stadium. A pair of nearly 300 ft (91 m)-tall arches will span the length of the stadium dome, anchored to the ground at each end. The new stadium also includes a retractable roof, glass doors allowing each end zone to be opened, and a center-hung video display board. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said the screen will be the largest high-definition television screen in the world. The 160 foot by 72 foot, 11,520 square foot scoreboard will replace the 8,736 square foot screen that opened in 2009 at the renovated Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri as the world's largest. This system was implemented by mechanization consultants Uni-Systems. These Kinetic Architecture fundamentals will be employed in order to create a quick conversion of the facility to accommodate a variety of events. When the design was officially unveiled on December 12, 2006, it showed that, from inside the stadium, the roof (membrane installed by K Post Company of Dallas)[14] will look very similar to the Texas Stadium roof, with its trademark hole. However, it can be covered by the retractable roof panel to protect against the elements. A Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame is planned for the Hall of Fame level. The drawings also include a site for a large sculpture northeast of the stadium, close to Randol Mill Road. Excavation work at the stadium site began in May 2006 near Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Until it opens, the Cowboys will continue to play in Texas Stadium. This stadium will host Super Bowl XLV in 2011, beating out bids from the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.[15] It will also host the 2009 Big XII Football Championship and Cotton Bowl, the 2010 NBA All-Star Game and the 2014 men's Final Four.

Sailing out of San Diego this spring? Get ready to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery.
San Diego's Board of Port Commissioners this week unanimously voted to ask operators of cruise ships and other vessels sailing near the city to slow their speeds beginning March 1.
The port's new speed limit -- 15 knots for cruise ships; 12 knots for cargo ships -- will apply to a broad area extending 20 nautical miles from San Diego's Point Loma.
DEAL WATCH: Seabourn, Holland America roll out new deals
ALSO ONLINE: Royal Caribbean ship collides with whale
ALSO ONLINE:Have cruise prices bottomed?
A statement from the port says the speed limit is aimed at reducing air pollution in the region. It cites studies that show ships emit less pollution when traveling at slower speeds.
The speed reduction is voluntary, but the port will encourage participation by tracking vessel speeds and issuing regular reports to the public on which ships are not complying. The port also is changing the way it assigns dock workers to ships to encourage participation.
The Port of San Diego is following in the footsteps of two other California ports that have added similar speed restrictions -- Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Among the ships sailing out of San Diego this year are the Carnival Elation and Spirit; Holland America Zaandam, Ryndam and Statendam; and the Celebrity Mercury.
Cruise Loggers, have you sailed out of San Diego? How would you rate the experience?

Bureau . Schofield Hall 201 . Eau Claire, WI 54702
phone: (715) 836-4741
fax: (715) 836-2900
EAU CLAIRE — Students and faculty from the Augusta Middle/High school will present a public presentation of interdisciplinary projects titled "Your Town Augusta" from 1 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 14, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 15, at the Augusta Middle/High School. The opening program will be at 1:30 p.m. Friday.
The presentation is the culminating event for a two-year project funded by a National Endowment for the Humanities Schools for a New Millennium Grant and directed by University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire faculty member Dr. Katherine Lang, associate professor of history, and co-director Dr. Roger Tlusty, professor of foundations of education, through the Center for History, Teaching and Learning.
According to Lang, the goal of the project, which ends in May, was to get students engaged intellectually by having them do hands-on research projects about their own community.
"The 13 Augusta teachers, who participated in graduate coursework as they guided their students through this process, engaged their students in primary and secondary source research, helped them connect local history to bigger themes in American history, and built an Augusta wing of the Virtual Museum of the Chippewa Valley. Teachers assessed student projects in a way that emphasized humanities content and the research process, as well as presentation," said Lang. "I am very impressed with the quality of many of the student projects."
The Virtual Museum of the Chippewa Valley, originally created by Tlusty and several classes of his teacher/students, is an archive of digitized images in a searchable database. It spans approximately 150 years of history and presents digitized images of "slices of life in the Chippewa Valley of North and Western Wisconsin." The site, hosted by CESA 10, is intended as a teaching and learning resource.
For more information, contact Lang at (715) 836-4765 or email@example.com.

The Deal: Europe, Asia Stocks Flat Ahead of German Elections
LONDON ( The Deal) -- European and Asian markets were flat on Friday ahead of federal elections Sunday in Germany, Europe's largest economy.
In the U.K., Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) announced that it had raised about 630 million pounds ($1 billion) through a further selldown of a stake in Direct Line Insurance Group, the country's largest home and car insurer. The lender now owns about 28.5% of the company after selling about 300 million shares at 210 pence apiece to institutional investors.
Shares in Direct Line Insurance fell 5.40 pence, or 2.48%, to 212.60 pence, while shares in Royal Bank of Scotland shed 4.10 pence, or 1.11%, to 364.90 pence.
The U.K.'s benchmark FTSE 100 was little changed, down 5.48, or 0.08%, at 6,619.91.In Germany, the DAX was almost flat, down 6.81, or 0.08%, at 8.687.37, on the last trading day before Sunday's national elections in which German Chancellor Angela Merkel is vying for a third term against Peer Steinbrück of the center-left Social Democrats. A new national opinion poll released Friday in Germany showed the Social Democrats advancing 1 percentage point to 28%, still 10 points behind Merkel's Christian Democrats and its Bavarian sister party. She may be forced to form a government with a party other than the current junior coalition partner, the pro-business Free Democrats, who appear to be struggling to reach the 5% threshold needed to enter parliament In Asia, the Hang Seng rose 385.06, or 1.67%, to 23,502.51, while the Nikkei fell 23.76, or 0.16%, to 14,742.42. Standard & Poor's futures shed 0.20 to 1,717.20. --Written by Renee Cordes

DivineSublime All Will Be Well
Yep, hanging in there. I have a lingering cough from a cold I had over new year, and I kind of wonder if it's the poison leaving my lungs? I cough a fair bit, so my lungs feel congested.
Anyway, it's okay. I've made it to day 19, and truth be told, I don't miss smoking much. I occasionally am desperate for a cigarette, but it's definitely in certain circumstances, and each time I do something without a cigarette, and make new habits, it's absolutely fine.
Benefits so far? Hmmm.
• Money – have saved money for sure
• Smell – I love the fact that my flat smells of roses and whatever oil I have been burning, no cigarette smell in sight (whiff)
• Pride – I feel good about myself for having done this, it's a definite ego-boost, a sense of achieving something that I set my mind to
• Freedom – I don't have to check my cigarette pack before coming home to see that I have 'enough'; I don't have to be a prisoner to the little white sticks of death. I do like that, I really do
The other thing I've been doing is looking at people who are smoking. This isn't nice of me, but the majority of them look old – they look lined and it looks like they don't care about themselves. No one, but no one, looks glamorous dragging on a cigarette as they walk along the streets. It's not a good look most of the time. I am not going to look like Audrey Hepburn smoking, I am going to look like someone who's had a hard life and has given up on herself.
So definitely hanging in there. I want to make it to three weeks – truth be told, I'm kind of surprised at myself for doing this with such determination!

The Joiner History Room is an archives that has many items of museum quality. Our historical materials date back to the hand written minutes of the first session of the County Commissioners in 1837. As there has never been a fire to destroy any of the county valuable historical files, they have been meticulously preserved to meet the needs of today's researchers. The collection includes Civil War papers, newspaper files, old photographs and numerous boxes of manuscript materials.
