Rcarter is banned. There will be no more hatin.
Rcarter is banned. There will be no more hatin.
Oh Man I can't fathom the amount of hate he will unleash on you for such an outstanding and outlandish comment! We will pray for you and I quote ( In Jebus name Heyman)
You really think that Rcarter guy is the only one who is a master of the ways of hate? I heard he learned from the current HOTY Yankee. I also think the ban was facilitated by a troll from that other surf forecasting site that shall not be named considering I read some of his posts and he has been way crazier in the last few months than he was to that Tunerfish tool.
we have to wait 3 days for him, he will be back

For nearly five years, the state's non-unionized management-confidential employees have been caught in financial limbo - their pay frozen even as co-workers received raises, with no clear end in sight. These aren't politicians (or) . . . political appointees . . . nor are they unionized workers. They are career civil servants, often the most trusted and valued people in an office, who have been relegated by the long freeze into second-class workers. If there's a segment of the state workforce that has good cause to feel demoralized, they are it . . . ."

Have you even imagined of installing incompatible android apps on your device. Due to regular updates, most of the Android devices face compatibility issues with the applications in the Google PlayStore. Users generally feels frustrated and gets really unhappy if they find the application that they have installed on their device is incompatible. If you are one among them, your search is going to end here. The other day, I was searching for installing Temple Run on my Galaxy Ace, and but because of incompatible issue, I ended giving-up and searched for alternative games.
While browsing for sources, luckily I found some random source and found a way that helps us to install apps on your Android Device that are incompatible. The only thing that you need to do on your device is to tweak a file on your device. All you need to do is to have your android device get rooted, install apps like Root Explorer.
Articles related to Install incompatible Android Apps
- Best Rooted Android Apps to be installed on your Device
- Best Free iPhone Travel Apps to Organize your Trip
- Proven Tips to Increase Android Battery Life
Make sure that rooting will nullify your device's warranty and we don't personally encourage it. In order to make incompatible apps, compatible for your device, you need to root it down and then follow these steps.
How to install Incompatible Android Apps
- You have to clear data by following these steps – Settings -> Applications -> All -> Market -> Clear Data.
- Install ES File Explorer or Root Explorer app on your device from Google PlayStore. Now, open the file manager application which you've installed. I've used ES File Explorer app in this tutorial.
- Go to Settings -> Root Settings and then enable the Root Explorer and Mount File System options.
- Next, you have to search for "build.prop" file in your /system folder and open it.
- This is most important point, make sure you backup the build.prop file (just copy and paste it in external memory by renaming the file).
- Switch back to original location of build.prop. Open build.prop -> ES Note Editor -> Search ro.product.model and ro.product.manufacturer and follow these steps.
- ro.product.model = Galaxy S3
- ro.product.manufacturer = samsung.
- Though you are using some other devices, we change these lines to pretend that you are using Galaxy S3. Now after changing those lines, top on menu button and save it.
- You are almost done with the process, now you need to Clear your device's cache and restart it back.
Now, you can happy download and install incompatible android apps on to your device and use them without any obstructions. This is yet another benefit of rooting, since we are allowed to get access to memory aspects, we can install any sort of application on our devices, if you root it. Hope you liked my tutorial on how to install incompatible Android apps from Google Play store.

12. Dr. Jim Watkins (2)
He was not a neurologist or something fancy like that, but a very junior member of one of the emergency rooms of the large hospitals in London. He was not very well paid, so when his superior had asked, who would take this additional job on Saturdays – the research and the glory, a new dimension not only of computer game but of knowledge about the human mind, he had agreed.
And now he was watching the monitors of the test runs of this new computer game and this pretty girl shagging some figments of her imagination.
How sick can this world get?
He had tried the game himself, doing a short game of Star Trek. He had been a smashing Mr. Riker, and the game had felt as real as anything. It had certainly been more interesting to play than to watch other people play…
But, oh well, he was very well payed for the few hours watching the test runs, and it was easy work, just watching the monitors, checking pulse, blood pressure and stuff like that.
He looked back at the smiling face of Ms. McCourt.
He would take a heart. He WOULD ask her out to dinner.
Now he smiled himself, imagining a lovely dinner and joking about the game, teasing her a little about what she had experienced. Promising to be even better in real life…
No, he told himself, reining in his fantasy. That would not do at all!
But he would gather up his nerve and ask her out. He would do that, he promised himself.
He left the room to look at another test person.

Have you ever heard the saying, "It all started with a simple idea"? Don't most great things that happen originate as a thought inside someone's head? Once that person tells another, the thought gains momentum, and as more people hear about the idea, they start to take action. Before long, the idea becomes reality, and something great is born. Recently, a good friend of mine came to me with an idea. She and another landscape architect were in the beginning …

With the passing of Labour Day our 2014 Writer In Residence program is now rolling into action. While Rosemary Nixon's official 'Welcome & Program Launch' won't take place until Thursday, September 18, Memorial Park Library is now openly accepting manuscripts to begin scheduling consultation appointments. For free, professional feedback on your work all you need is a library card and the submission guidelines.
On top of invaluable one-on-one time with a highly experienced, award-winning author, the Writer In Residence service also features a long list of public programs designed to inspire, teach, and connect communities of aspiring writers. These are filling quick so make sure to get registered now.
Rosemary will also be offering 3 opportunities to 'Exercise Your Imaginative Muscle', all of which will take place at Memorial Park Library from 6 - 8 pm. Here are the dates:
These are drop-in. No registration required. Spend an evening triggering "your imagination through writing prompts ranging from creating defamiliarized characters to developing suspense" and learning new tools to strengthen your writing skill.

September will feature a visit from Calgary's Poet Laureate, the kick-off of our Writer In Residence service, and a team of U of C researchers coming to crack codes of science fiction. In October two fantastic Calgary authors launch new books at Memorial Park. In November it's all about Walls, as local author Marcello Di Cintio's 'Travels Along the Barricades' has been chosen for One Book One Calgary.

September through the end of November is a special time at Memorial Park Library. For three glorious months Calgary Public Library cardholders have access to the guidance and expertise of their very own Writer in Residence. If you haven't taken advantage of this wonderful service in the past, go directly to our 2014 Writer-in-Residence page to meet this year's resident - Rosemary Nixon.
Not only does this program offer Calgary's aspiring writers free manuscript consultation, but also ninety days of public programs designed to inspire, teach, and connect. Registration for Rosemary's workshops, presentations, and readings will begin next Monday, August 18, and are likely going to fill up quick.
For individual manuscript consultation, we can begin submitting work at Memorial Park Library after September 1, according to the submission guidelines. Two weeks later, on Thursday, September 18, join us for the 2014 Writer in Residence "Welcome & Program Launch" as we kick things off at historic Memorial Park Library. Starting at 7 p.m. Rosemary will read from a selection of her works and outline plans for her residency. A reception will follow.
As always with the delicate act of absorbing writing wisdom from a professional, knowing a teacher's work will multiply a student's grasp by inordinate amounts. To get the most out of this year's Writer in Residence, here's your homework:
Are You Ready to be Lucky?
Are You Ready to Be Lucky? If so, meet Roslyn, a spirited divorcée eager for new beginnings.
Meet Duncan, a British conman with a penchant for collecting ex-wives. Meet Floyd, a hard-living contractor who can fix anyone's house but his own. Irritating, vulnerable, hopeful, they ricochet off one another, trailing a mess of family and friends, all of them trying to beat the odds and find happiness. With razor-sharp wit, Rosemary Nixon takes on the chaos and absurdity of friendship, marriage, divorce, and betrayal—and the heart-pounding, breathtaking, always astonishing complexities of luck and love.
Kalila chronicles the lives of Maggie and Brodie, whose joy collides with devastation when their daughter's birth also heralds the news of her congenital heart condition.
In this startlingly inventive novel, Rosemary Nixon braids light and darkness into a narrative chain pulled exquisitely taut. Through Maggie and Brodie's shifting viewpoints; the isolating impenetrability of hospital life; and the mediation of physics, music, and family, Nixon propels the reader into unmapped emotional terrain where a shell-shocked family grapples with the horror, joy, and mystery of impermanence. The result is a spellbinding tale, provocative for the emotions and the intellect.
The Cock's Egg
Magic and witchcraft are as much a part of the African landscape as are ghostly white egrets fluttering into blue jungle clearings, or copper-coloured frangipani blossoms growing against white-washed mud walls. Dislocation, isolation, and desire are hauntingly encompassed in these wonderful stories of Canadians living in a foreign landscape. And always the witchcraft of the cock's egg shapes myths, permeates lives, and maps a country whose changing face finds its inhabitants stealing power through the transformation of the body.
*Available only in Central Library's CHFH Local History room.
Mostly Country
With this first collection of short stories, Rosemary Nixon's Wadden joins Manawaka and Agassiz on the landscape of Canadian fiction. Wadden, where farm and town, church and post office draw the limits of experience and escape. In prose of unnerving clarity, the individual lives of interwoven families unfold and overlap. There are: Fay Leichty, who lives at the very centre of the community in shamed silence; Kevin McClancy, unable to cross the boundaries of the Mennonite church and family; Rita Steckley, who during an encounter with a boy and the town tough, discovers the cruelties of desire. And many more. Through memory, through fantasy, through differing versions of events and places as far away as Zaire, Mostly Country creates the people of Wadden. A reading experience to be enjoyed.
*book summaries lifted off rosemarynixon.com
Tell someone you're a "writer" and there's a 99% chance you will encounter the same exact series of questions from whoever you're talking to.
"What do you write?"
"Uhh... fiction?"
"Oh. Have you p******** anything?"
For most unpublished writers the answer to this comes out as a sigh, followed by some mumbled list of unquantifiable chapbooks or blog work or estimate on the number of rejection letters piling up in the bottom drawer. Whether or not the validation of that 'P' word is important is entirely subjective but like any other career path becoming a writer is subject to the tired catch-22 of experience. I can't get p******** because I have no CV. My CV is empty because I haven't been p********.
Breaking this cycle usually requires a lot of patience, hard work, and study. And after all that mastering of craft and process is established there remains that mysterious obstacle of HOW to approach submitting work, and to WHOM? The answers are different for every writer but are all out there for the taking. The Canadian Writer's Market is one really good resource to start with (it's also available to borrow from the library as an OverDrive eBook). On top of providing tips on the nuts and bolts of submitting work for publication, the 'Market is mainly a directory listing the diverse places willing to accept unsolicited submissions. One listing you will find right here in Calgary is for filling Station magazine, "a literary and arts magazine publishing innovative poetry, fiction, [and] non-fiction". I point out fS not only because the quarterly is always a great read, not only because they will be launching issue 59 at Shelf Life books on August 7, but because on Friday, August 8, the magazine's current fiction editor Emily Ursuliak is offering a workshop titled How to Submit to Literary Journals. The workshop aims to help you find destinations that suit your work, make the best first impression, avoid mistakes, write cover letters, get organized, and deal with rejection.
For complete details on the "How to Submit to Literary Magazines" workshop check out the listing on the AMPA website.
And when unique, specialized workshops like this aren't running, the library opens everyday with tons of helpful resources like these:

The Canadian Writer's Market: the Essential Guide for Freelance Writers
Pick up a copy of Tender Buttons, any edition of the countless reissues published since 1912, turn to any page, and you are bound to encounter some of the most strange, beautiful, and wise combinations of the English language you will ever read. It doesn't seem possible for a century old book of poetry to come off the page as fresh and vibrant as the most innovative work being produced today, but Stein's welcoming and accessible approach only seems to brighten as the 20th century grows distant in the rear view.
When it comes to classic literature the notion of timelessness (seems like this could've been written yesterday!) is automatic, a given necessity of its survival, but out of all the world's most bonafide 'classic' authors very few have had the same sort of magical ability "to capture 'moments of consciousness' independent of time and memory". The act of reading Gertrude Stein doesn't feel the same as what we normally refer to as 'reading'. It starts with the word on the page but somewhere along the way Stein gives readers complete freedom to fly off in their own direction.
100 years later poets from all over the world continue to respond to Gertrude Stein's resounding, foundational masterpiece. This Sunday, on the 68th anniversary of Stein's death, July 27, Calgary's Poet Laureate derek beaulieu hosts an evening dedicated to poetic responses to Stein's work.
The event takes place at Loft 112 - 535 8 Avenue SE. Starts at 7 p.m.
The lineup of poets will include readings by Christian Bök, Natalie Simpson, Nikki Sheppy, Rachel Shabalin, Anj Fermor and Helen Hajnoczky.
You can read the full text of Tender Buttons at Project Gutenberg.
For a list of upcoming events at Loft 112, check out the full schedule, which includes dates and times the Loft is open for 'drop-in' - a place to get out and write and meet other writers and share ideas.
The second weekend of August might be a good one to stick around town, as the 4th annual WHEN WORDS COLLIDE festival descends upon Calgary to bring together a huge range of readers and writers from all over the world. Regardless of the genre you're trying to master or love to read, When Words Collide has more than 60 expert panelists/presenters lined up to share tips and information on everything from science fiction to historical fiction to nonfiction, from inspiration to editing.
It appears as though this year's program of workshops, pitch sessions, panels, social events, blue pencil cafes, and merchants has caught on and filled up quick, but they are now taking names for a waiting list, the 'Merchants' Corner' is open to the unregistered public, and on the Thursday leading into the big weekend you can catch 5 featured WWC guests live at the Fish Creek Library.
Thursday, August 7
7 - 8:30 p.m.
Second Floor Open Area - Fish Creek Library
Join us for readings by international bestselling authors: Jack Whyte, Jacqueline Guest, Brandon Sanderson, D.J. McIntosh and Mark Leslie.
The authors will follow up the readings with a question and answer and autograph session.
It's pretty convenient to throw a party this week and call it a 'Stampede' party. Or throw a poetry reading and call it a Stampede reading. It's even easier if you've actually "wrangled some of the best darn poets in Cowtown" for a lineup of powerhouse performers that couldn't be described as anything but a stampede, regardless of our being in Calgary during the second week of July. This is exactly what the wonderful folk at Shelf Life Books have done for their 'Stampede of Poets', which'll git goin' tomorrow night - Wednesday July 9 - at 7 p.m.
Here are the poets prepared to get on their saddle and run you over:
Sheri-D Wilson
Weyman Chan
Kirk Miles
Erin Dingle
David Eso
Juleta Severson-Baker
Richard Harrison
You may have also seen Stampede of Poets described in this week's FFWD, which offers the insight of Wordfest executive director Jo Steffens on Calgary's literary nightlife, as well as a roundup of Cowtown's hardest working literary organizations. And if you haven't come across the Calgary Herald article on Sheri-D Wilson's powerful new book 'Open Letter', read it here. Happy Stampede week y'all.
As the summer heats up it's only natural for a cool off on some of our creative endeavours. We've got music festivals to go to. Road trips to drive. Friends we don't normally get to see. Gardens to tend to... but Calgary's community of writers that work to inspire, guide, and befriend you never let up!
Over the summer here at the 'Nook we'll focus on ways to keep your focus over the summer and quite likely come out of August feeling sharper than ever before.
"SIZZLING SUMMER WRITING" (at the Alexandra Writers' Centre Society)

Stay tuned for more cool, fresh ideas to keep your writing sharp over the summer, including WHEN WORDS COLLIDE, a festival for readers and writers from August 8 - 10. And don't forget that any of Calgary Public Library's 18 locations are the perfect place to cool off and get some writing done on a hot summer afternoon.
The Honey Pot, by Alan Riddell, 1969Since the grand opening of Loft 112 it seems that the center for writers and artists has something great going on every night. Whether it's musical performance, comedy show, literary reading, or just hanging out in a place with good vibes, the Loft certainly seems to be the creative hive it was opened to become. This Friday, June 27, Loft 112 is hosting what looks to be an extra special event:
"The Vancouver-based painter, photographer, performance artist and curator Michael Morris will speak about concrete poetry and the creation of the mail art archive Image Bank and other networks. This event is free and open to all, starts at 5:30 p.m., and will be followed by a reception."
Before going any further I should mention that the beautiful piece of typewriter art to the right (The Honey Pot, 1969) is not the work of Michael Morris, but Alan Riddell. For a look at Morris' beautiful work, go here. I've thrown The Honey Pot in here to show my all-time favorite piece of concrete poetry and to celebrate the 2014 publication of 'Typewriter Art: a modern anthology'. The library copy of this long-awaited collection of poetry and art created entirely using typewriters will be here soon and I wanted to make sure all concrete poetry/typewriter art lovers out there had a heads-up...
In this book readers will find not only Alan Riddell's beautiful Honey Pot, but also more than a century's worth of the most innovative, interesting, and beautiful pieces of typewriter art from all over the world. From the butterfly of Flora F.F. Stacey (1898) all the way up to the impossibly fluid work of Stephanie Strange.
Also included is the work of Calgary Poet Laureate derek beaulieu, who, as this blog comes full circle, is a volunteer on the team that turns the wheel of Loft 112 and likely had something to do with the visit of Michael Morris. According to the anthology, beaulieu is "currently archiving a great many examples of typewriter/visual poetry" in order to salvage so much of the work that only appeared in obscure journals in the 1960s and 70s.
What do two shy editors, one 800-kilometre Camino de Santiago explorer and a 240-pound tattooed motorcyclist have in common? These Calgary authors – Naomi K. Lewis, Rona Altrows, Patricia Klinck and Robert Chomany – have just won awards for their books in New York City from two of the biggest book award programs in the world. Come see the books and hear the authors on Tuesday, June 24, 7pm at Shelf Life Books (4th Street and 13th Avenue SW).
Calgary publisher and writer Tag Goulet will emcee the evening, presenting the three award-winning authors who will talk about their books. Bob Chomany will talk about BawB's Raven Feathers. Patricia Klinck will read from Each Step is the Journey: The Call of the Camino. Editors Naomi K. Lewis and Rona Altrows and will present Shy: An Anthology.
Shy: An Anthology, edited by Naomi K. Lewis and Rona Altrows
The pages of this anthology are filled with personal essays and poems of thoughtful musings, raw memories, and humorous self-examinations by authors and poets who have been labelled by the world—teachers, parents, and peers—as shy. Here, they proudly own up to their shyness, and their message is clear: they don't need to be "cured"! Why should they, when nearly half of North Americans consider themselves shy? Editors Naomi K. Lewis and Rona Altrows have enlisted writers from across the continent and have created a moving anthology that will appeal to all, either because we are shy or because we know someone who is.

Each Step is the Journey: The Call of the Camino, by Patricia Klinck
The origins of the Camino de Santiago cannot be found in books. Its story is woven from legends and myths told by the ancients over the centuries and retold by pilgrims. Those who answer its call are often in search of a greater good, a more powerful truth, a fuller understanding. But what is its true meaning? What can this age-old pilgrimage—declared the first European Cultural Route and a UNESCO World Heritage Site—offer us in the twenty-first century?

Bawb's Raven Feathers, by Bob Chomany
In 2008, a 6'4", 240-pound tattoo-covered bike enthusiast (whose hobby is "wrenching on motorcycles") signed up for Facebook. Like many of us, Robert Chomany was disappointed by the daily drab of "what I had for breakfast" and complaints about the weather. Unlike most of us, he was determined to make his page a better place. He decided he would try to put smiles on his readers' faces each day with his pure and simple inspirational poetic musings. As the days, months and years passed, his audience began asking when the book would be coming out, and soon after that, Bawb's Raven Feathers was born. In fact, three volumes have been quietly published and a fourth is due out soon.

Talk:Eternal Deceiver (4e Paragon Path)
From D&D Wiki
The "rise" part has been fixed. Racial paragon paths like this one typically don't have power sources, by which I presume you mean keywords like "Arcane" or "Primal." The "spend two healing surges without regaining hit points" is worded that way because spending healing surges is part of the power's cost. Even if part of the power involves regaining hit points, it should still be worded that way.

What's your retirement plan? PLUS my entrepreneurship library giveaway!
Entrepreneurship gets in your blood. It's a thrill, building a business and being in charge of your own enterprise. It can be a hard habit to break.
— Carol Tice, Will Today's Entrepreneurs Ever Retire?
You've heard it before: I love my work so much I would do it for free! Okay, maybe.
How about: I love my work so much I would do it forever! Ouch.
When you're driven by passion and a big, bold mission, it's hard to imagine yourself not working until your last breath. Or is it? It's harder still to imagine a plan for working yourself out of a job when you're struggling to stay in control of your current business plan.
But planning for retirement – or, at the least, that time when you might want to have more fun – is an important part of your long term goal setting.
How would you make business decisions differently if you knew what retirement looked like?
How do you envision retirement as of today?
- Sipping cocktails on a far off island beach?
- Hardcore philanthropy?
- Ceaseless travel?
- Going back to school?
- Ease, rest, and relaxation at home?
- Work as fun instead of working to fund fun?
Bottom line: you're not building a business or income stream just for today or tomorrow. You're building a strategy for long term gain and satisfaction.
Entrepreneurship Library GIVEAWAY
Want to win a library of 6 books to support your entrepreneurship and help you build that strategy for long term gain & satisfaction? Thought so. I'm giving away a copy of Drive by Daniel Pink, Start With Why by Simon Sinek, Linchpin by Seth Godin, Taking the Leap by Pema Chodron, Uncertainty by Jonathan Fields (forthcoming), and The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau.
These are books and people who have transformed my business.
Here's how to enter:
- Visit our giveaway sponsor's site, Business on Main, and take a look-see at this article on entrepreneurship & retirement (link will open in new tab).

- Giveaway ends Monday, August 1 at noon Eastern. Winner will be selected at random and contacted by email.
- One entry per person.

I hope to keep working but shift to about half the hours. I am saving right now to make possible. I don't want to every totally stop working; I watched my FIL's health deteriorate from that.
I plan to spend the free-time with my family or traveling.
Realistically, between college and economy, despite best practice, retirement will involving working on my part.
What I hope for? To be reading a ton for pleasure, editing and writing about 25 hours a week, spending more time in my garden — so I can chase away the %&#*($^ squirrrels that stole my tomatoes while I was on vaca, still going to the Ozarks with my geezer friends and drinking maragritas and hanging in the creek a couple of times a summer, going to the long-saved for trip to Japan with my husband and (college aged) son.
Having wrinkly knees without shame. NOT getting Botox or plastic surgery. Getting more cats.
Chasing kids offa my lawn with a holographic cane.
Writing meticulously researched articles about how the future has dovetailed or deviated from sci-fi books published in 1990 to 2020.
Occasionally being mutton dressed as lamb. Not caring about it.
Being able to travel to friends' art exhibits in other cities.
Spending a month in Italy. Touring Ireland. Blogging humorously about it. Taking lots of pix with my digi-bindi.
Being busy, happy and fulfilled.
Celebrating 40+ years of yearly Girly Parties (it's a thang) with my girlfriends from college. In Thailand. (So, far, we've done it since 1993.)
I don't think I could ever fully retire either. I love my job and I love being an entrepreneur. That said, there are so many things I would love to do if money was not an issue. The main thing would be that I would love to help people and the environment in one way or another. If I could retire with a bunch of money I would use my design skills to help non-profits and people. I would love to have a BIG garden, and allow the public to stop by, relax, and enjoy. I would also love to travel.
I don't foresee 'retirement' in my future. Between the economy, long-term parenting obligations, and just being a lousy financial planner who would rather make stuff then retire…its probably not going to happen.
My hope is that I will be able to play with any ideas I wish. Build anything I design. Cycle through all of my renaissance souls delights. And continue to learn more and more.
I have a taste of what it is like to really do work that you love so I don't think I will ever truly retire. My "work" might be more charity oriented at that time but I think that work is so good for the mind and soul that I always want it to be a part of my life!!
Honestly, I've not thought much about retirement. But, I am approaching two major life changes: getting married, and turning 30, and it my future is definitely on my mind. Honestly, I love what I do (metalsmithing) and imagine that I will practice as an artist and later as a teacher for many years to come, even into retirement age. My *hope* for when I "retire" is to stay physically active and be physically fit, as well as continue to teach and practice my craft. Retirement will simply give me the TIME to travel how I want to, and relax and enjoy my golden years. That's the plan, anyway!
Great Article!
I don't know that I will ever really retire – but, we need to be prepared in case we have to retire. I tend to think I will always have something brewing. But, 70 is not 35. Some people are tired at 70 and 80. It's hard to say.
I do know a number of people that had to go out on disability when they were in their 50's – and you can't work after that. Some choose to stay on disability, others have to. I've been told you can't even volunteer because if the disability insurance people find out they will pull your care.
Retirement isn't always beaches and golfing and we need to be prepared. Hopefully we can all make it the some of the best days of our lives!
I can't imagine retiring completely. But, I would like to have the option to retire, which I definitely don't have financially at the moment. I also can't imagine that my hands will still be able to take the work I do when I'm in my 70s or 80s, so I'll have to be doing something a little differently by then.
I sculpt art dolls, design mixed media projects, teach art and write tutorials/workshops. I definitely see my business continuing on for the span of my life, but with varying focus. In the last year, I have been drawn more to electronic content–art lessons in pdf files and similar formats. I would like to eventually automate the delivery process for these files and then I see no reason why I cannot continue to sell them forever :]. I would love to one day be able to make art for just my home and family if I want to though as right now, I still make physical art to sell.
I know when I had my children, I craved more flexibility in my work schedule in order to spend more time with them. I imagine I might have similar feelings when I have grandchildren. So, to me, my ideal retirement might look like doing meaningful work that I want to do, including more teaching and mentoring, and spending as much time with my grandchildren as possible.
This is an interesting topic.
I am a new entrepreneur (my second career) and my first career was in non-profit management (animal welfare). So, the upshot is I do have some retirement savings, but not enough to retire fully and until my business gets up and running in the black I won't be able to put aside more savings.
To be honest, though, I'm not sure a retirement with no work would suit me. My new career (goldsmithing/jewellery design) is one I can continue long into the future and that was one of the attractions. I would like to make enough to travel, and if I can dream a little, so that my husband can retire early.
I don't know if I'll be able to fully retire. I might limit my hours, volunteer, or do philanthropic work but I don't see myself sitting on a beach for years on end.
Well, I'll put it this way: I don't want to work forever, in terms of the paycheck to paycheck, day to day way I & many of us currently work. I do want to create, to 'work' at what I love, in some way…I would always want to do something.
Awesome giveaway and topic to reflect on! Thank you! I was surprised by the number that never plan on retiring.
I'm addicted to learning and experiencing. So retirement would be all about adventure for me. Scaling back on the work, spending more time exploring and trying new things. My grandma is 93. She just gave up scuba diving a few years ago. She makes jewelry, throws pots, sings int he choir, and plays piano. It's incredible! The list of things she still wants to learn is unbelievable. I love that attitude.
I am stuck right now with my career and business and I'm in my early 30's… Its har to imagine retirement when I am so focused on the here and now. I hope that when i come to that point i will still have the energy to keep pursuing life with vigor.
Agreed…I don't see retiring, instead, shifting how I spend my days to include more time for friends, family and hobbies.
I intend to make my knitting business my main income and really don't see myself retiring. I love to knit, I love to create new knitting patterns. Heck, I even bring knitting with me on vacation.
I can on "hope" that I will have a retirement for myself and husband. I don't want to plan that I will have SS when I do retire. My other "hope" would be to teach my daughter to make smart investments with her money as she grows. I didn't learn any money planning until I grew older. Even now I'm still learning. I put just a little each week in savings and that's all I can do. I'm self employed. I sell vintage clothing & now this year started to make pottery. I seem to cross my finger a lot and hope for the best. It gives me hope to see that I like some many others need some help and we can learn from each other! Keep moving forward
I'm building my business right now and hope I can live from it next year. Right now I don't see myself retire. I think only physical conditions can hold me up to do my business until I die.
I would love to be at a point where I'm at retirement age with no desire to retire..
Until then, I should make sure I have a set pension plan!
I don't think I'll ever completely retire. I need to be making things, I can't stop!
My plan is to build my business in a way that it can almost run by itself. That I don't have to be there 24/7, that I can eventually do just the fun stuff like creating!
I have also started investing money in real estate with my boyfriend, which I want to do more of. Create passive income so I can travel and create forever!!!

Is Oklahoma State the team that finally ends KU's Big 12 title streak?
The warning signs scream the end of a streak.
Oklahoma State is a bad matchup for Kansas. Oklahoma State won at Allen Fieldhouse. At ALLEN FIELDHOUSE! Oklahoma State has won seven straight Big 12 games. Kansas lost to TCU two weeks ago.
If you're a betting man, it might be time to invest in Marcus Smart.
But before we get to the keys to Wednesday's game and what Kansas has to do to defy the odds, let's remember this.
Kansas always wins these games.
The ones that you might describe as must-haves. Down 19 to Missouri and in jeopardy of watching the Tigers exit the Big 12 as champs? Got that. Texas starts 11-0 in the Big 12, including a win at the Fieldhouse in 2011. The Jayhawks win the league outright. At Oklahoma in 2009 in late February with first place on the line*, Kansas won that too.
*Worth mentioning some dude by the name of Blake Griffin missed that game. That may have helped.
This run started in 2005, and that one game Kansas always wins was against a top five Oklahoma State squad at the end of February. The Jayhawks were down six with under four minutes to go, and they naturally came back to win and take over first place outright.
Bill Self ALWAYS gets it done in these games. He's got eight rings that says so.
BUT… If there were ever a time for this streak to come to an end, it would be Wednesday night. And it would be with the team that, as John Gasaway pointed out with his must-read Tuesday Truths, is much closer to the field than any KU teams of the past.
Here's what has to happen for Self to have a legit chance at No. 9.
1. Make Oklahoma State go at Jeff Withey.
The Cowboys used logic to knock off the Jayhawks at the Fieldhouse.
A shot near Withey is not only best for KU's defense, it's also best for KU's offense. So the Cowboys stayed away.
Outside of second-chance opportunities, the Cowboys attempted only seven layups or dunks in their halfcourt offense and went 1-for-7 on those attempts.
The beauty of this approach was that it wasn't really outside of what the Pokes usually do. They are a jump-shooting team.
According to Hoop-Math.com, 38 percent of their attempts are 2-point jumpers, 32 percent are threes and 30 percent are at the rim. In comparison, KU attempts 42 percent of its shots at the rim.
The team that has the most similar offensive approach in the Big 12 is Kansas State, and KU was able to bait K-State into entering the Withey zone last Monday. He had five blocks.
It helps that K-State has true big men in Jordan Henriquez and Thomas Gipson. The more Oklahoma State plays its statue, Philip Jurick, the better for KU. He only played 15 minutes in the first meeting, partly because of foul trouble — he had four.
The matchup nightmares for Withey are against big men who can shoot from the perimeter. Against Oklahoma, he didn't want to go out to guard Romero Osby on the perimeter, and Osby took advantage.
The one nice thing for Withey against the Cowboys is that the players he will guard are not threats to shoot, especially Jurick.
2. Improve ball-screen defense.
The word is out in the Big 12. If you don't have a big man who can shoot, bring Withey away from the basket by ball-screening with his man as much as possible.
Self has his team guarding ball screens differently, depending on whether it's in the middle of the court or on the wing.
The Cowboys like to run a lot of ball screens on the wing, and the Jayhawks were burned a couple times in the first meeting.
KU's goal is to hedge with the big man and force the guard toward the sideline or to show and recover. The key for the big man is to not allow the ball-handler to turn the corner and to recover quickly. Here's an example of a failure to keep the ball on the sideline or recover that turns into a Markel Brown three because of forced help.
Here's an example of how Myck Kabongo used a high ball screen to set up Ioannis Papapetrou for an open three.
Oklahoma State's shooters will not be so giving.
The key for KU is to try to cut off passing lanes to shooters when Smart does penetrate, stay on his hip and try to funnel him to Withey.
Then let Withey be Withey.
3. Hope Le'Bryan Nash doesn't go off.
Six of the open threes Texas took were attempted by Kevin Young's man. Another was on Perry Ellis.
It's likely that whoever is guarding Markel Brown is going to be hugging Brown on the perimeter. Remember what Brown did the first time around. Whoever guards Phil Forte will likely be stuck to him as well. Marcus Smart, like Kabongo, is going to force help.
And like KU played it against Texas, the four man is the logical choice to play sort of a safety role, as Young was doing in the clip above that led to Papapetrou's open three.
It's never a great game plan to hope something happens, but the numbers support the Jayhawks in that they can hope Le'Bryan Nash will not burn them from deep. Nash has made only 9 of 41 of his threes this year. Nash is dangerous when he attacks and he could burn KU if this is his approach.
If he settles for threes, that's a risk that could pay off for the Jayhawks.
4. Rebound.
If there was a statistical anomaly to KU's loss in Lawrence, it was that the Pokes dominated the offensive glass, getting back 45.2 percent of their misses and scoring 26 second-chance points that afternoon.
At the time, the Cowboys were the worst offensive rebounding team in the Big 12 during conference play. They have since risen to eighth.
Kansas is the second-best defensive rebounding team in the Big 12, but a poor performance on the boards is not unusual. Texas, for instance, grabbed 40.8 of its misses on Saturday. Luckily, the Horns could not throw it in from anywhere and scored only eight second-chance points.
The key, obviously, will be keeping Smart off the glass. He simply out-muscled KU's guards in the first game and pulled down eight offensive rebounds. That's another reason why KU needs Withey in the paint. He needs to rebound. And when he's forced to help, the guards and Young will need to do a better job of boxing out.
Last year, Thomas Robinson could do that on his own. This year the Jayhawks have to do it collectively.
5. Confident KU must show up.
The perception is that the Jayhawks are back after pounding K-State and Texas, but those games happened in the Fieldhouse. Now, the Jayhawks have to prove that their swag can travel.
The swag-o-meter tends to hit 360 Ben McLemore dunks when they're making shots. McLemore, in particular, needs to make shots. Naadir Tharpe needs to continue playing well. (Tharpe had a quiet, yet solid, three assists and no turnovers in 15 minutes against Texas.) Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson need to hit open jumpers.
What gets lost in all the bricks from the three-game losing streak is KU's defense was very un-KU, and that factored into the offensive struggles.
That's why most of the keys on Wednesday center around defense. Good defense usually leads to good offense, because it gets the Jayhawks easy buckets. Withey blocks move the swag-o-meter. This team thrives off those buckets his defense creates.
A Withey block and a couple jumpers falling early would be very beneficial for the Jayhawks in the confidence department.
Smart made them pout. Their pride needs to motivate them to get payback.
So there you have it, five things that must happen to keep Smart from doing back-flips. It's as tough as any must-have Big 12 game the Jayhawks have had. Oklahoma State is not a great matchup and has not lost a conference home game.
The streak could very well end.
Or Self could do what he does.
Collect rings.

Students Lose Financial Aid for Failure to Make Satisfactory Academic Progress
Mark Kantrowitz
August 29, 2011
There is also a loophole in the rules concerning satisfactory academic progress that may allow a student to regain eligibility for financial aid by changing majors or degree programs or by transferring to another college. Depending on the college's policies, classes that don't count toward the new major may be excluded from the determination of satisfactory academic progress. This can effectively reset the student's eligibility for federal student aid.
It is a good idea to start by reading the college's satisfactory academic progress policy. All colleges are required to have a written satisfactory academic progress policy. The policy may be found on the college's web site or in the course catalog. The college's financial aid office can also provide a copy of the policy upon request. The college's written policy must explain the procedures for regaining eligibility for financial aid and the appeals process.
Can students whose families had a zero EFC still receive financial aid even if they fell below satisfactory academic progress? Are there special entitlements for these kinds of people? I ask, because my family is essentially broke and I fell below SAP by only .007ths of a point. — Julie R.
No. Students lose eligibility for federal student aid if they are no longer maintaining satisfactory academic progress, regardless of financial need. There are no special exceptions to the satisfactory academic progress requirements for low-income students.
This is unfortunate, because low-income students often lack the resources to continue paying for college on their own without financial aid, not even for a semester or two. Low-income students are also unlikely to qualify for private student loans. This contributes to lower college-degree attainment rates by low and moderate income students, as compared with middle and upper income students. Low-income students who get bad grades are about half as likely to graduate with an Associate's or Bachelor's degree as upper-income students with bad grades.
Students should always file an appeal if the failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress is due to extenuating circumstances.
If a low-income student cannot afford to pay for tuition without financial aid, the student should ask the college about taking classes at a local community college. If these classes are accepted for credit by the student's college, it will help the student regain eligibility at much lower cost.
Students who fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress are still eligible for the education tax benefits, such as the Hope Scholarship and Lifetime Learning tax credits. The education tax benefits may be claimed by filing a federal income tax return, based on amounts paid for postsecondary education.

What are they?
Nosebleeds are a common occurrence in childhood. They may occur from trauma to the nose, dry nasal passages on non-humid days, from inflammation due to allergies, and, of course, from nose picking. They may also occur for no particular reason that can be identified. These episodes of nosebleeding can be quite distressful for parents because just a few drops of blood can have a deceptive appearance of being a large amount, so a nosebleed that lasts for five minutes may appear like the child is hemorrhaging.
What are the symptoms?
Bright red blood coming from the nose
What can/should be done at home
The most common reason for a nosebleed to not stop bleeding is improper technique in getting it to stop. When a nosebleed occurs:
- Tilt the head slightly back and preferably keep the child upright, either standing or in a chair. Keeping the head higher than the heart will decrease the amount of blood pooling that can occur in tissues that have a lot of blood vessels, such as the nose.
- You want to stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the site of bleeding. Pinch about halfway up the nose, where the bone and cartilage meet. If pressure is applied only at the opening of the nose, you catch a lot of blood, but do not apply pressure in the correct spot.
- Keep pressure on the nose for at least 10 minutes, and no peeking. This is where most adults fail because 10 minutes can be a long time to hold pressure to the nose. It is difficult to resist the urge to "peek" just to see if the bleeding has stopped. Each time this "peeking" is done, the clot that was forming inside the nose gets ripped away, and bleeding may start all over giving the appearance of abnormal bleeding.

The India Fund, Inc. Announces Expiration Of Semi-Annual Repurchase Offer
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The India Fund, Inc. (NYSE: IFN; the "Fund") announced today the expiration of the Fund's semi-annual repurchase offer for shares of its common stock. The repurchase offer and withdrawal rights expired on Friday, September 14, 2012. The Fund offered to repurchase up to 5% of the outstanding shares of its common stock for cash at a price approximately equal to net asset value as of September 21, 2012.
As of Friday, September 14, 2012, 38,799,849.94 Fund shares were outstanding. The repurchase amount of 5% of Fund shares represents approximately 1,939,992.5 shares outstanding. The preliminary count by BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., the Fund's transfer agent, indicated that approximately 10,884,951 shares (approximately 28.0541% of the Fund's outstanding shares) were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Fund's repurchase offer. This determination is subject to final confirmation and the proper delivery of all shares tendered and not withdrawn, including shares tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure. 420,919 shares are estimated to be subject to this guarantee. Since more than 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares were tendered, the Fund will accept shares tendered on a pro-rata basis. It is expected that approximately 16.48% of the non-odd lot shares tendered will be accepted for payment. Shares will be repurchased for cash at a price equal to their net asset value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on September 21, 2012, subject to a repurchase fee of 2% of net asset value per share, which will be deducted from the repurchase price.
The Fund is a closed-end management investment company and its investment objective is long-term capital appreciation, which it seeks to achieve by investing primarily in the equity securities of Indian companies. The Fund conducts semi-annual repurchase offers and is traded on the NYSE under the trading symbol "IFN." Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited serves as the Investment Manager to the Fund. The Investment Manager is an affiliate of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC.

A variety of distance learning option are available such as online, telecourses, USB and a partial in class partial online option called hybrid.
An online course is a course that you can take using your computer and the Internet. Online courses are generally not self-paced and require students to participate in online discussions on five out of every seven days at a time that is convenient for them. They do not require students to come to campus.
Hybrid courses combine traditional classroom instruction with online instruction. Some of the time usually spent in the classroom is spent outside of the classroom, generally online using ANGEL. It is a great way to take advantage of the flexibility of online learning while still having the structure and direct contact of a traditional, face to face class.
A Telecourse is a semi-self study, self-paced, distance learning class that combines VHS videos of lectures and materials with study guides, assignments, exams and other information into a complete take-home bundle. There is a Required Orientation where students will meet instructors, receive a syllabus, and course requirements will be discussed. Orientation Sessions are held in the Haselwood Library, on the Bremerton campus, during the first week of every quarter. Exams are generally scheduled, requiring on-campus visits or an exam proctor.
USB-drive courses are self-contained courses delivered on returnable USB memory stick drives. The courses are designed to provide students with little or no internet access a more interactive experience than a telecourse, but not as interactive as an online course.
USB drives are available at the appropriate Division offices on the Bremerton Campus or through the instructor. Please see the Class Schedule Planner for information on where to get your USB drive.

Examining Ohio's Dangerous Intersections
NEW CARLISLE -- Nearly one thousand Ohioans are killed in crashes every year, and 40% of them happen at intersections.
One of the most dangerous ones in the state is right here in the Miami Valley.
But what's being done to make sure more lives are not lost? Our Hilary Zalla went to find out.
"It's just so easy, in the blink of an eye," says Tammy Walkup, who lost her brother-in-law.
Skid marks and three crosses at the corner of State Routes 235 and 41 in new Carlisle are reminders for Tammy and Scott Walkup that life is precious.
"He had a laughter that would fill the room," says Scott.
Scott's brother Tracy was driving to work one morning. Hours later, Scott and his wife were told the unthinkable, "that my brother has been involved in a fatal car accident, and uh, yeah, pretty much it..."
It's been a year and driving the intersection doesn't get any easier for the couple.
State Routes 235 and 41 is considered the most dangerous intersection in the Miami Valley. On average, there is a fatal crash there at least once every two years.
Jeff Caldwell, a retired homicide reconstruction officer who now owns Professional Driving Systems, says "your job it to try to get on the road and be safe."
He adds most of the danger most likely comes from drivers going too fast not paying attention.
The biggest problem at that intersection is right angle crashes, where the driver and passengers get T-boned.
Scott notes they've tried rumble strips, traffic lights, and excavating the area. Tammy believes, "it's time something a little more drastic is done so other people don't lose a loved one."
ODOT District Traffic Engineer Craig Eley says, "we look at locations that are safety concerns of the public."
Eley says ODOT has been looking at the intersection of 235 and 41 for a while. Next summer, they plan to start building a roundabout.
"The crashes will be less severe, if there are even crashes," says Eley.
ODOT says it should almost completely prevent fatal crashes, which is something Scott and Tammy hope for everyday.

Marian Hossa scored both goals for the Hawks on Saturday night against the Predators. | Mark Humphrey~AP
Related Stories
Updated: February 23, 2012 8:24AM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Coach Joel Quenneville said a playoff-like mentality was needed Saturday against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. It's because they were playing a Central Division opponent, and there isn't a better division in the NHL.
"It's arguably the best in a long time," Quenneville said.
With the Predators beating the Hawks 5-2 on Saturday, the Central became the first division to have four teams with 60 points or more. The Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues and Hawks rank in the top four in the league in points. All four teams are among the NHL's hottest.
"Right now, we're all up there, and Nashville is a couple of points back," Quenneville said. "So it's pretty amazing at this time of the year that that's the way it is. I don't see it changing."
The impressive thing is that all four teams are different, with the Hawks and Red Wings leaning more toward offense and the Blues and Predators relying on defensive styles. The Predators also have one of the top power plays in the NHL.
"There is something to be said about [the differing styles]," Quenneville said. "[The Predators] have kind of a pack mentality, where everybody works together well. It's a very solid team game. You have to work for your space."
Starting Tuesday, the Hawks have 10 games left against the Predators, Blues and Red Wings. They all have the potential for four-point swings with home ice for the playoffs there for the taking.
"Everybody has their strengths to their games," Quenneville said. "When you play each other, hopefully you make some hay because that might be the differential between the teams getting any separation."
Travel problems
The Hawks' travel woes didn't end when they flew out of snowy Chicago late Friday night. Thunderstorms and potential tornadoes in the Nashville area extended their flight time and arrival.
The Hawks appreciated the turnout at the United Center on Friday as fans braved the conditions to attend their 3-1 victory against the Florida Panthers.
"I live about 10-15 minutes from the rink, and it took me an hour and a half to get through it," forward Patrick Kane said. "It's good to see all the fans come out, especially through a snowstorm like that."
Goalie Corey Crawford was the last to arrive at the United Center, according to Quenneville, who said no one will be facing any fines for their arrival times.
In the stands
The Hawks stuck with the same lineup as John Scott, Sami Lepisto and Bryan Bickell were healthy scratches.
Predators All-Star defenseman Ryan Suter missed his third game in a row with an upper-body injury.
