I just did a podcast interview with the guys from Animalball to promote the ENnies and answer some questions. In it, we discuss a bit of the ENnies process, some of this years' issues and controversies, and they then do their best to get me in trouble. Take a listen and see what you think!
And as I mention in the interview, aside from answering questions here and online, I do try to make myself to anyone who wants to talk about the ENnies--whichever podcasts, website, blog, etc., it may be.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on April 20, 2012
This week, anti-gun Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) did her part to thwart passage of national Right-to-Carry laws by putting a "hold" on the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012, and the Respecting States' Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012. In keeping with her anti-gun record, Feinstein took action in an effort to oppose the quick passage of the bills. The "hold" does not prevent passage of the bills; it just prevents the legislation from passing by an already unlikely "unanimous consent" vote. In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Judiciary Committee Chair Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) Feinstein called the bills "dangerous" and said that they would "create potentially life threatening situations for law enforcement officers." She also cited the controversial Trayvon Martin shooting as one of her reasons for trying to sabotage the bills. Feinstein's misguided campaign to thwart these bills is nothing more than an opportunistic jump back into the ring of gun-control at a time she deems politically expedient. NRA strongly supports the measures Sen. Feinstein opposes (H.R. 822, S. 2188 and S. 2213).
These self-defense bills would allow honest Americans to protect themselves while traveling. As of today, 49 states have laws in place that permit their citizens to carry a concealed firearm in some form. Only Illinois and the District of Columbia deny their residents the right to carry concealed firearms outside their homes or businesses for self-defense.

House Prices Fell by 11.3% in 2012
January 11th, 2013
The average price of housing in Spain reduced by 11.3% in 2012 over the previous year, a more moderate adjustment than that experienced in previous months, due to a spike in the number of transactions generated to beat the 31st December deadline for the end of tax deductions and the rise in VAT for new housing.
According to the Spanish Real Estate Market Index (IMIE) for the last month of 2012, released on Tuesday by the appraiser Tinsa, Spanish properties have become cheaper by 33.3% since reaching their highest prices in December 2007.
By area, houses in the capitals and large cities were those which recorded the largest reductions in their prices in December (-14%), followed by those located in metropolitan areas (-13.7%) and on the Mediterranean coast (-12.5%).
Below the average were homes in the Balearic and Canary Islands (-6.6%) and those in other smaller municipalities (-7.7%).
Regarding accumulated decreases, Diario Sur reported that since their highest values reached, the prices of the houses on the Mediterranean coast have become cheaper by 40.1% and in the capitals and major cities by 36.7%. Also, prices have accumulated declines since their highs in the metropolitan areas of 35.4%, in the Balearic and Canary Islands by 27.3%, and the remaining municipalities by 27.6%.

Most of your readers will be reading this article to get an idea of the amount by which their properties have declined, and most of these properties will be on the Mediterranean coast. For the figures are confusing: -11/2%, -33.3%, -12.5% and -40.1%.and the various periods in which these values have declined is not easy to follow.
So rather difficult to see what's been going on!

This is a eight days lodge safari into some of the best wildlife sanctuaries in Kenya. This trip will start at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport after your arrival, taking you through to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, scene of the greatest spectacle of the animal kingdom - the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest. You will be able to see plenty of wildlife varying from Kenya's big five; the lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and the cheetah among a host of other different animal species. Afterwards, you will proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park, and through the panoramic Rift Valley; the only earth feature observable from space. Then you will enjoy a drive to the luxurious Mombasa Serena beach where you can relax and enjoy a swim at the hotel's pool in the afternoon to cool off from the humid Mombasa weather. You will travel in a private minibus and stay in lodges while on this safari.
Day 1
Arrival - Nairobi - Maasai Mara
On your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met by our tour manager who will brief you about your safari. You shall then depart for Maasai Mara National Reserve arriving late in the evening. Packed lunch will be served along the way.
The Maasai Mara, now The New 7the wonder of the world and 4th preferred tourist destination in the world is a home to wildlife in such abundance and variety that it is difficult to imagine. The most spectacular event of the natural world takes place here; The annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture while being followed on their heels by the predators of the savanna; lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vulture. It hosts over 450 species of animals which include lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephants.
Dinner and overnight will be at Sopa Lodge or a similar lodge.
Day 2
Maasai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, experience the magical Masai Mara; with a morning and an afternoon Game drive, taking your packed lunch in the drive.
The wildebeests are the most dominant inhabitants of the Masai Mara. Their numbers are estimated in the millions. The great migration starts in July each year when well over one million wildebeest along with large numbers of Thompson's gazelles, zebra and other herbivores migrate from the Serengeti plains in Tanzania to fresh pastures in the north and then back south again in October.
Dinner and overnight will be at Sopa Lodge or a similar lodge.
Day 3
Maasai Mara National Reserve.
You will depart for a visit to the Maasai villages after your breakfast and get to learn about the Maasai culture and way of living. In the afternoon, you will check out of the lodge and depart for Mombasa, where you will enjoy a beach holiday safari. You will arrive in the late evening, be checked in at the beach hotel and afterwards, you may take a plunge into the cool swimming pool to relax.
The Masai are so significant due to their culture. Starting from their dress code, the color red is so significant in that they scare away wild animals as they co-exist with them. They believe that God, Enkai, gave them cattle, therefore they believe that all the cattle belong to them. That's the reason why they have been known due to their cattle rustling. Although the Maasai are known for their nomadic life and cattle keeping, they is a group of agricultural Maasai, known as IL Loikop, are look down upon by the cattle keeping group, the Wakwavi since they believe they are the true Maasais created to keep cattle. A Maasai Homestead (enkang popularly known as the Manyattas) is made from cow dung and wooden sticks from the leleshwa plant. Women are the ones responsible for putting up these magnificent homes. However, a homestead contains several Maasai houses which are surrounded by a fence made also by branches of the leleshwa plant where the herds of goats and cows are confined in during the night hours. There are other Manyattas made far away in the wilderness during their Morans as they prepare their headset, the motonyik, before they return home.
Dinner and overnight will be at Sopa Lodge or a similar lodge.
Day 4
Maasai Mara - Lake Nakuru National Park
After enjoying breakfast you will set off to Lake Nakuru National Park and arrive at about lunch time. After having lunch, you will enjoy an afternoon game drive inside the park till evening, in time for your dinner and overnight stay.
Lake Nakuru National Park (188 km²), was created in 1961 around Lake Nakuru, near Nakuru Town. It is best known for its thousands, sometimes millions of flamingos nesting along the shores. The surface of the shallow lake is often hardly recognizable due to the continually shifting mass of pink flamingoes as far as the eye can see. The number of flamingoes on the lake varies with water and food conditions and the best vantage point is from Baboon Cliff. These millions of flamingoes are seeking for their food in the salty deep green waters of Lake Nakuru. Also of interest is an area of 188 km around the lake fenced off as a sanctuary to protect Rothschild giraffes and black rhinos. The protected area is primarily for birds of which 400 to 500 species can be found here including cormorants and pelicans. However visitors coming into Lake Nakuru may also catch a glimpse of Thomson gazelles, impala, waterbucks, buffaloes or even leopards.
Dinner and overnight stay will be at Lake Nakuru Lodge.
Day 5
Lake Nakuru
You will enjoy a pre-breakfast flamingo-watching trip at the lake, which is a very memorable experience especially in the early morning. This will be followed by breakfast, and after breakfast, you will depart for a morning and afternoon Game drive with your tour guide.
Lake Nakuru is one of the Rift Valley soda lakes. It lies to the south of Nakuru, in Central Kenya and is protected by a small Lake Nakuru National Park. The lake's abundance of algae attracts the vast quantity of flamingos that famously lines the shore. Other birds also flourish in the area, as do warthogs, baboons and other large mammals.
Dinner and overnight stay will be at Lake Nakuru Lodge.
Day 6
Lake Nakuru National Park - Nairobi - Mombasa Indiana Beach Hotel
After your breakfast you will immediately depart for Nairobi, from where you will take a flight to Mombasa to enjoy a beach holiday. You will carry a packed lunch and are likely to arrive in the evening. On arrival at the Moi International airport, our tour guide will receive you and transfer you to your beach resort and check you into Indiana Beach Hotel for a relaxing evening.
Dinner and overnight stay will be at the Indiana Beach Apartments or similar lodge.
Day 7
Mombasa Indiana Beach Hotel
After breakfast, you can just laze on the beach where the endless white sands give an illusion of being on different place from the rest of humanity. Afterwards, you may get a chance to visit a curio shop in the city and buy some fascinating products like sea shells, ornaments made from beads like necklaces, bracelets e.t.c that will remind you of your stay here when you go back home.
Dinner and overnight stay will be at the Indiana Beach Apartments or similar lodge.
Day 8
Mombasa Indiana Beach Hotel - Nairobi - Departure

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

End-of-life plans are uncomfortable but important topics of conversation that parents should have with their adult children. NY1's Money Matters reporter Tara Lynn Wagner filed the following report.
Talking with your adult children about your end-of-life plans, financial and otherwise, is understandably an uncomfortable conversation, which probably explains why so few people are actually having it.
"Among baby boomers, people in their early 50s to mid-60s today, just a third have had a conversation with their adult children about their financial state and their plans and 44 percent of people 67 and older have had that conversation with their adult kids," says Donna Rosato, a senior writer at Money Magazine.
However, there are ways to lessen the awkwardness and still impart the necessary information. Rosato says you can start with very general information.
"At a minimum, you need to let your kids know if you have a will, any financial directives and if you've made funeral arrangements," she says.
Beyond that, if you do want to discuss actual finances, it doesn't mean you need to reveal every last penny. You should, however, fill your kids in about what accounts you have, where you have them and what they'll need to access them.
"You want to make sure you leave your Social Security number behind, you want to make sure you list the different account numbers you have for your bank, your investment accounts, your insurance policies, and who to contact," Rosato says. "It's really important to make that list.
If you plan to leave them money, or help them down the line with a down payment on a home or grandchildren's college tuition, Rosato says that is one area where it pays to be specific.
"You don't want them to be unprepared or not save enough if you're only going to be able to help them with a certain amount of money," Rosato says.
However, if you're not in the financial shape you'd like to be, Rosato says you don't need to share that news just yet.
"Maybe you can save some more or retire later," she says.
Rosato adds if you do confide in your children, they may offer suggestions or offer to help. Either way, she says, unpleasant as it may be, the conversation should leave you and your loved ones feeling a little more at ease.
"If you think about it, you don't want your kids looking for the documents wondering what to do if you are not in good health," says Rosato. "It's going to ease a lot of financial worries for you and give your kids piece of mind too."

Road Trip? Unplug Your Kids!
Getting ready to hit the road for Spring Break or your family vacation?
We know it's easy to silence the 1,000 "are we there yets" and "he's touching me's" by letting your kids tune in to the in-car DVDs or their portable game systems.
But if they do, they'll be missing a lot, right outside the car window — and inside the car, with rare uninterrupted time with parents and siblings.
The National Wildlife Federation has some great ideas for having fun on the ride, including the ever-popular Car Window Bingo.

It isn't often that I give out Link Building advice. This is because I don't really like link building – I find it tedious and sometimes boring, except for when the ideas are around Link Baiting (but that's another post ) . As a result, I am always looking for low hanging fruit (to use a cliché). It amazes me how often you find a simple yet easy strategy that gets you links, very often these are links that you already deserve!
JC Penney Link Building
I bet you are bored of hearing about these guys. So am I. After, how many times would you want to read about the JC Penney fiasco? Well, bear with me. I am using them as the example because it is relevant.
When I first wrote my post on JC Penney, I misspelled their name. Chris Lake (Director of Innovation @Econsultancy) was kind enough to let me know of my error, and I quickly corrected the post. In fact, you can still see the error in the URL for that post:
This reminded me of a strategy that we used a few times before to grab links – after all misspelling is a common problem with a number of businesses, especially with big brands.
Cracking Open The Data
Majestic just released a pretty good Site Explorer tool, which I used to play with some of the data. Unfortunately, as I am not a premium subscriber, I only get to see handful of links – as a result I opened up SEOmoz's Open Site Explorer which gives me a few more on the free version. So lets look at the most common misspell:
As you can see, there are hundreds of root domains, and thousands of backlinks! Is that easy picking? You bet it is. After all, you have already been given the link, just to the wrong domain!
Miss Spelling JCPenny.com
Here are a few choice links to prove that the links exist:
Now that doesn't mean you should ignore other weird and wonderful miss spelled domains, for example, JCpeney.com has only one link:
Pro Tip: Buy those Misspelled Domains!
JC Penney did one thing right – they own the most common misspell JCPenny.com, and it redirects to the home page. However you will be surprised how many brands DON'T own their miss spells. Buy those. Make sure they 301 properly. Other wise you are losing out on so much link equity, as you can see from the example above.
I suggest buying all variations – for example JCpeney.com is interestingly, this is an affiliate owned domain name which redirects to:
International TLDs
If you are a business that operates internationally, (JC Penney doesn't operate in the UK for e.g, as in it doesn't market to the UK) then chances are that you may own most the TLDs. In most cases, I have found businesses redirecting these properly to the live site, if they don't use local domains for their website, but subdomains or folders. However, there are instances I have found that businesses:
- Don't own the Local TLD
- If they own it, don't redirect
- If they redirect, they use 302s
In the first instance, GET those TLDs!
Side Tip: If you operate in the UK, a .co.uk isn't enough, get the Irish Domain (.ie), the Channel Island Domains (.GG and .JE ) Isle of Man Domain (.im). You never know when you need them.
For the second point, if you own it, redirect it! The third mistake is daft, use 301 unless you planning on building a site on the domain.
However, popular US businesses DO get traffic from the UK, and JC Penney SHOULD have bought the .co.uk, – they don't have many links (OK just one), but other businesses and brands may have more – check yours today!
Side Note: Dont Ignore Misspelling, Domaining them is Big Business
The highest sale of a typo domain we've ever seen and the $200,000 sale of a domain that had been donated to a charity headline another big week of domain sales. You may need smelling salts after looking at the whopping $242,400 price paid for the #1 domain, Mortage.com (DN Journal)
Buying up Misspelled Domains should be part and parcel of your businesses Online Marketing. Why? Well, for one, Its stops Lazy Affiliate strategies. (and the practice of TypoSquatting).
Secondly, how many times can you misspell Britney Spears? Loads, Says Google. The big G has been working hard in passing through the right results for misspelling, even using common volume misspells to correct results. (Vanessa Fox has a decent post on this). Although a large proportion of people tend to use search engines now instead of the address bar, people still do type in domains (shock and horror). Dont let them go to the wrong place.
Third, take a look at your Google analytics data. You will often see misspells in them. Isnt that a case and point?
- I am not the only one who has covered this tip. Rand calls them his HeadSmaking Tips.
- Wiep Covers it in his monstrous Solid 69 Link building tactics (he suggests 404 monitoring on point #9).
- Use Aarons SEOBook Spelling Typo generator to some up with suggestions to test.

Yesterday, I taught one of my favorite lessons (soon to be a future post) connecting the legacy of the Civil Rights movement to today. When I told my students this lesson was one of my favorite lessons. One student raised his hand in the back of the room and said "Mrs. Seideman you said the lesson last week was your favorite on Vietnam" and then another student said "no the impact of WWII on the homefront was." After a few minutes of discussion, most of my class agreed that I claim a lot of lessons are my favorite.
Most people would say choosing a favorite would be easy. For me it's easy to choose my favorite, Ben and Jerry's Fish Food ice cream, my border collie, watching the Notebook, and snuggling with my husband have to be on my top ten list of favorite things to do.
In terms of teaching, I have so many favorite lessons and I will admit I claim them all the be my favorite. My response to my class when they said I always say a lesson is my favorite was good then I am doing my job. Teaching is unlike any other profession in the world-You have the unique power to change a students life in so many different ways. It requires passion, compassion, strength, creativity, and an unbelievable ability to "run" on limited amounts of sleep. All of these characteristics make a good teacher GREAT.
To many teachers get burnt out and forget the real reason they entered the classroom: to make a difference in a child's life. A history teacher in my department who was nominated for teacher of the year said it best "we are there for the kids." When meaningful connections are made with students and the content, schools truly are a special place to be. I am happy I choose my profession and I am proud to say (even in this economic climate) that I am a Teacher.

How controllers shaped games from the ground up April 2, 2014 at 9:30 am
Throughout the years, a myriad of factors have impacted video games, how they're made, and how they're played. Raw horsepower, bizarre business partnerships, and even the storage media have all played a role in shaping the way games evolved. However, the controller itself might just be the single most important factor in deciding exactly what kind of games are developed for any given platform.
PS4 firmware updates finally quell tyranny of the DualShock 4 light bar, disable HDCP March 21, 2014 at 3:11 pm
Not only did Sony announce its new virtual reality headset Project Morpheus this week, but it also unveiled a number of big changes headed for the PS4 later this year. From dimming the DualShock 4's light bar to removing always-on HDCP, these updates are going to make the PS4 better than ever, and answer some of the loudest criticisms from the gaming community.
How to use a PS4 DualShock 4 to play PC games February 7, 2014 at 3:10 pm
The PS4's controller is recognized by Windows right out of the box, but existing games don't automatically work with the new gamepad. Thankfully, there is an open source application available that maps the DualShock 4's controls directly to Microsoft's XInput API — effectively tricking games into thinking you're using an Xbox 360 controller.
Xbox One design team used hundreds of 3D-printed prototypes to fine-tune the console January 22, 2014 at 3:30 pm
The Xbox One is an impressive piece of hardware. Sure, the games look sharp, but the console is pleasing in and of itself. Once a product hits shelves, it's easy to forget that people had to design it from scratch. From toasters to game consoles, the devices we use every day have gone through countless iterations, and an absurd number of man-hours are spent perfecting these technological masterpieces. It's worth taking note of just how many revisions products go through before they see the light of day, and Microsoft's Carl Ledbetter wants you to know just how much work was put into the Xbox One.
I went all-digital with the PS4 and loved it – RIP physical media November 19, 2013 at 3:03 pm
I had pre-ordered my PS4 on Amazon immediately following the Sony presentation at E3 in June, and it was in my hands only five months later. Over the weekend, I installed a new hard drive, desperately tried to connect to PSN, downloaded a ton of games, and played remotely on the PS Vita. The launch experience was a mixed bag for me, but I was left feeling nothing but enthusiasm for the potential of this new generation of hardware.
PS4 DualShock 4 controller is compatible with the Xbox 360 – Xbox One next? October 28, 2013 at 11:46 am
We recently learned that, this generation, the PS4's DualShock 4 controller would work with PCs out of the box, unlike the PS3's DualShock 3. Now, a video has surfaced that shows the DualShock 4 working with the Xbox 360. If the video isn't staged in some way, does that also mean the controller is compatible with the Xbox One?
The PS4 DualShock 4 controller almost looked like the Xbox 360 gamepad, says Sony October 23, 2013 at 3:13 pm
The DualShock 4 and Xbox One gamepad have seen a largely positive response from the gaming industry. The issues from the previous generation have been fixed, and it seems we've reached the pinnacle of traditional console-style controllers. It wasn't an easy task, though. Controllers have been evolving over the last thirty-some years, and these latest models required substantial engineering prowess to outshine everything that came before. I'm excited to hold them both in my hands, but I'm left wondering where we can go from here.
PS4 DualShock 4 works with Windows PCs, Sony keeping eye on Steam Box October 7, 2013 at 10:21 am
One of the biggest brand advantages Microsoft has over Sony during the Xbox 360 and PS3 generation is its controller. Love the Xbox 360 gamepad or hate it, it works wonderfully with compatible PC games — simply plug and play. Meanwhile, Sony's DualShock 3 worked, but it required third party drivers. This time around, Sony is looking to get its DualShock 4 into the world of PC gaming, and will make its controller work with PCs right out of the box.
New PS4 details: 2,000 friend slots, cross-game chat is free for all, DualShock 3 not compatible July 29, 2013 at 3:10 pm
We're only four months away from the presumed launch of the next generation of game consoles, and the internet is clamoring for new information. In response, Sony has deemed fit to post a video answering some of the most burning questions surrounding the PS4. From the number of slots on the PSN friends list to the existence of 3D games, this video from PlayStation Access covers a lot of ground.
Sony's DualShock 4 controller revolutionizes splitscreen gaming and player location April 26, 2013 at 11:38 am
The first concrete bit of info we had about Sony's PlayStation 4 was about its controller, rather than the console. The first piece of PS4 hardware we saw was also the controller, instead of the console. Now, with E3 only a couple of months away, and the PS4's release soon after that, there are still many questions to be answered regarding Sony's next-gen console. So, in what now seems to be a tradition, Sony has revealed some more information about its new controller, the DualShock 4, before it fills in missing details about its new console.

- 0Dec 16, '02 by Motivated, SNThis was great. It confirmed what I have always believed; that perception is EVERYTHING. I will probably be working in LTC for awhile; although it was something I never wanted to do. But I am working on changing my perceptions and this will definitely help. I will try to always remember it. Thank you.
- 0Dec 20, '02 by GromitI have to admit that as soon as I started reading it, I thought of an accident victim (severe head trauma), someone approaching the age of Methusela, or a baby.
It definately made me think. I'd rather it were a baby, for a patient that was of old age, and in this condition, that would be very depressing.
- 0Dec 21, '02 by Steph2078Betts,
Thankyou so much for sharing that with us. That was a very moving speech. I loved it!! I am not a nurse yet... however I am working in the hospital setting right now. There is a patient that is described in your speech, but is actually only in there early 30's. She requires constant care and sometimes there just isn't enough time and people to help. Also sometimes I see that the nurses, for whatever reasons do not treat some patients as they should be treated. I actually brought this to my work for everyone to read, so mabye they would think differently in the future.
Thanks for sharing!

Muscle cramps
|AGE Not significant factors
|GENDER Not significant factors
|LIFESTYLE Not significant factors
|GENETICS Not significant factors
Muscle cramps are sudden painful spasms in a muscle or group of muscles.
© Jupiter
Muscle cramps affect almost everyone from time to time. Painful spasms, often lasting only a few minutes, make the affected muscle become hard and tender. Muscle cramps may occur in any muscle in the body but they are most common in leg muscles. When abdominal muscles are affected, the condition is also known as a "stitch".
Muscle cramps often develop during physical exercise, possibly as a result of reduction in the oxygen supply to the muscles or a build-up of chemical waste produced by muscles during exercise. Another possible cause is the loss of salt and water that occurs due to heavy sweating during hot weather or strenuous exercise. Muscle cramps may also develop if you have been sitting or lying in an awkward position for a long time. Sometimes, there is no obvious cause.
Cramps are not the only cause of attacks of muscle pain. If you develop recurrent muscle pain in your calves when walking, you should consult your doctor; the cause may be lower limb ischaemia, a disorder in which the arteries that supply blood to the leg muscles become narrowed.
The immediate self-help treatment for muscle cramps is to stretch and rub the affected area and to apply a heat pad. You should drink plenty of fluids and eat something salty. If you regularly have cramps at night, your doctor may prescribe a low dose of quinine, an antimalarial drug that effectively relieves the symptoms.

Beyonce bump watch is getting bumpier every day, as new photos of a very pregnant Bey at a screening for her DVD "Live at Roseland" show the preggo mama-to-be all aglow.
Beyonce has been proudly displaying her baby bump since the VMAs, but she talks about how, back in mid-August, before they had announced it, that it was very hard to hide.
She shared before the screening of her concert DVD, "The whole time I definitely was thinking, 'Everyone knows, everyone can see.'"
We don't think anyone noticed then – there were no Beyonce pregnancy rumors floating, so she apparently kept things under wraps pretty well.
Bey performed in August at New York's Roseland Ballroom and really thought her cover would be blown: "When you're pregnant, it's a little bit harder to breathe, so it was hard doing all the choreography and singing at the same time."
Of her new DVD, Bey has a special baby keepsake because she was pregnant at the time of filming. She shares, "[I hope he or she will say] I can't believe I was in that belly!"

Drew Barrymore's Pasta
On a recent episode of Ellen, Drew Barrymore showed us how to make a pasta dish that she invented at home herself. It is a tomato based pasta that uses "Harissa" - a Tunisian hot chili paste made out of a mix of peppers, spices, herbs and oil. I am quite into spicy food so I thought I would give it a try.
The paste is very earthy and deceivingly spicy. Coming out of the tube it looks like harmless tomato paste but I tried a little bit and I was on fire. So please do not put in too much if you don't like spicy food. You can substitute it with tomato paste.
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Makes 4 servings
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
350g fusilli
400g cherry tomatoes (halved)
2-3 cloves of garlic (sliced)
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil (shredded)
1 tablespoon dried chives
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons onion salt
1 tablespoon Harissa
2. Lower the heat and add the cherry tomatoes (do take a step back because the oil might splash a bit). Let them saute for 5 mins then add chives, parsley and onion salt.
3. Add fresh basil to the pan every 5 mins.
4. Add black pepper to taste and simmer another 5 mins, then add a tablespoon of the Harissa paste. Cook another 5 mins.
5. Drain and add cooked pasta to sauce, mix well and serve.

Will Organization Destroy Your Creativity?
- Marty Marsh
You know, many creative people hate the thought of being organized. They view any sort of organization as a structure that's meant to hamper their creativity, to put restrictions on it and tie it down. I suppose there are those rare individuals who honestly cannot handle much organization in their creative life. However, before you decide that you're one of them, you should try to add some level of organization and see how it actually feels and works out for you, because organization can do a surprising amount of good for creativity.

Does Your Business Need a Good Spring Cleaning?

Over the years I've discovered that most things in life can be improved with a good spring cleaning. Your business is no different. Your business is the same way. Whether it's piles of old files that need to be thrown out or relationships that are no longer serving you, sometimes it's good to take stock on what's working and not working in your business, clean out what's not working so you can open up the space to more of what you DO want. And yes, this sounds sort of woo-woo, but it actually does work.

As small business owners and entrepreneurs dedicated to making our businesses a success, we need to be focused a lot more on the "done-ing" than the doing.

The Art of Nagging

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Defenceman Mark Fistric has agreed to a three-year, $3.8 million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks.
The Ducks announced the deal Wednesday with Fistric, who has become a regular on the blue line in his first season with the overall NHL leaders.
Fistric has five points and a plus-8 rating in 27 games with the Ducks, who signed him as a free agent in August. The hard-hitting defenceman is second on the Ducks with 123 hits despite playing in only about half of their games this season.
The former first-round pick didn't crack Anaheim's lineup until mid-November when defenceman Luca Sbisa injured his right hand.
Fistric also has played for Dallas and Edmonton during his NHL career. He scored six points for the Oilers last season.

Rating Change #6
Applied Materials Inc (AMAT) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, weak operating cash flow and disappointing return on equity.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- AMAT's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.22 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.48, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- 46.40% is the gross profit margin for APPLIED MATERIALS INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 11.40% trails the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $603.00 million or 14.34% when compared to the same quarter last year. In conjunction, when comparing current results to the industry average, APPLIED MATERIALS INC has marginally lower results.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 40.9% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $489.00 million to $289.00 million.
Applied Materials, Inc. provides manufacturing equipment, services, and software to the semiconductor, flat panel display, solar photovoltaic (PV), and related industries worldwide. The company has a P/E ratio of 9.2, below the average electronics industry P/E ratio of 10.5 and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Applied has a market cap of $13.76 billion and is part of the technology sector and electronics industry. Shares are down 1.6% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday.You can view the full Applied Ratings Report or get investment ideas from our investment research center.

Francesca Caccini (September 18, 1587 – c. 1640) was an Italian composer, singer, lutenist, poet, and music teacher of the early Baroque era. She was the daughter of Giulio Caccini, and was probably the most famous and influential female European composer, in any genre, between Hildegard of Bingen in the 12th century and the 19th century. Her opera, La liberazione di Ruggiero, was the first opera by a woman composer.
Caccini was born in Florence, most likely receiving her early musical training with her father. Her first recorded appearance in public is as a singer at the wedding of Henry IV of France and Maria de Medici in 1600; her father took part in organizing and composing the music for the sumptuous entertainment involved. In 1604 when the entire Caccini family visited France, Henry praised her singing effusively—"you are the best singer in all of France"—and asked her to stay at his court; however the Florentine officials denied his request, and she returned to Italy, where her fame continued to grow. Shortly afterwards she attracted the attention of Claudio Monteverdi as well, who praised her singing and instrumental performance. In 1607 she married a member of the Florentine Camerata, Giovanni Battista Signorini.
In her early life Caccini performed with her parents and brother and sister, under the name Concerto Caccini. Later, as she became more of a virtuoso performer, she formed a Concerto delle donne (similar to the Concerto de donne of Ferrara) with her sister Settimia Caccini and the Roman performer Vittoria Archilei (1550 – c.1620). She performed in the second opera ever, Jacopo Peri's Euridice, although the parts she sang were by her father Giulio. At this time she was sometimes referred to as La Cecchina.
During this time she was also developing her skill as a composer. In conjunction with the librettist Michelangelo Buonaroti the Younger (grand-nephew of the artist) she wrote the music for many intermedi at the Medici court, and she also began writing in the then-new form of opera. By 1618 she was one of the highest paid employees of the court, and was receiving more than her father had.
One of her greatest successes came in 1625 when she wrote an opera for a visiting prince from Poland, Ladislaus Sigismondo (later Władysław IV). This opera, La liberazione di Ruggiero dall'isola d'Alcina, was also performed in Warsaw in 1628; this is the earliest verified performance of an Italian opera outside of Italy.
Records of her later life are sparse. Florentine records show that a Francesca Caccini, wife of a senator, died in 1640, which would imply that she remarried if this was her; alternatively that may have been someone else, and she may have died earlier. A death date of 1630 is given in some sources.
Francesca wrote five operas, four of which have been lost (only La liberazione di Ruggiero has survived). Of her numerous smaller compositions, sacred, secular, vocal and instrumental, the only surviving collection is her publication of 1618, Il primo libro delle musiche, which contains pieces for one or two voices and basso continuo. They include madrigals, canzonette, settings of sonnets, strophic variations, as well as several sacred pieces which can be classified as early Baroque motets. In style they are monodies, and in some ways she exceeds her father in melodic and harmonic daring; clearly she was writing for her own voice, and for her own virtuoso singing capabilities much of the time.
