We may all talk about the more altruistic aspects of how it leads us to somewhere we had not been to before..Perhaps how it thrills us to get a FTF. Maybe how finding a nano in some awkward location makes us feel powerful in some way. I think this is all true because this silly thing of hiding and seeking is something we all liked to do as children. When I read the logs posted by geochildren in the BCGA 'news" I wonder about how any cacher could say SWAG is unimportant......I also question why any cacher would take old used stuff and a toss it into a cache. I also wonder why any cache owner would place a cache and then not take care of it. For certain geocaching allows my inner child to come out & play but there are rules in kindergarten...you don't make a mess you clean up after and you take responsibility for what you have done. this is a new thought & I'd like to see responses. cheers and happy responsible caching Back to top Tulameen_TurtlesJoined: Jan 09, 2008Posts: 347 Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2009 9:48 pm Post subject: Re: geocaching and the inner child in all of us We've travelled the whole caching feeling of emotions of why we cache over the past 2 years. But in the end it is all about the adventure with the ability to mark "we were here" in a log book where few others have been. It comes down to where it takes us and how much we can do in a weekend - when we can go from being at the bottom of Botany lookout (near Lytton) Road on Friday night in a tent - listening to the thunder storm and watching the lightening in the distance and waking up to boisenberries in the morning. Then passing by an amazing artists rendention of capturing time as we head up to the Lion's Park built for the community, then travelling up to Lillooet and seeing the Helicopters putting out fires, and heading up the Bridge River to a horseshoe canyon with sheer drop offs and having your heart beat in your throat overlooking it. Then continuing to to the Shulaps and overlooking the 360 degree view that has sat there for a year with no one seeing it - even though it was a cake walk to drive to and sitting there and taking in the whole beauty - then leaving and driving to kamloops watching the lightening storms light up the sky and skirting past the mud slides as they come down as we near kamloops and then heading up to Brookemere and heading up to the Thynne Mountain Lookout for another 360 degree view in the rain, and almost snow and getting there at midnight in the pitch black and scared to walk the few hundred meters to the cache as you never know what might be there to greet you in the trees that you can't see then but having your heart racing as you go for it! Then getting to a warm bed and crashing for a good sleep - and knowing that was one of the best 18 hours of your life! Covering from Lytton to Lillooet to half way to Seton Portage to Kamloops to brookemere to Thynne Mountain to Tulameen. Along with a false 911 call to report a forest fire.. lol (I did cancel it, but then the Thynne Mountain fire was discovered a few days later so still wondering if we saw the real one) It's the people we've met, the incredible places they take us on to see new places and spend the time building memories instead of watching paint dry on the ceiling.

Careful - for many, swag is simply not a factor - the hunt is. When you find hundred of sweaty containers with McJunk in them, swag can lose it's appeal pretty quick. And "old used stuff" is a very ambiguous term. One of the good caches around here is "Spring Cleaning", in which the hider put all the stuff she cleaned out of a dresser drawer, including almost 10 bucks in CT money! Old used dice and golfballs are one thing, but old used Expo 86 pins, pens and compasses are quite another!

I'm always thrilled when I get to log a cache that hasn't been found for a year!! It is even sweeter to post a log saying the cache is in great shape and thanks for bringing me here!! As far as swag goes there are places where trading swag is a HUGE part of the game. I cached in the Kootenays, Oregon, Idaho & Montana this summer and those folk seem to take trading swag very seriously indeed. They log it all...I had to keep careful notes!!! Kids especially are engaged by this aspect. Once in a while I take my grand-daughter caching & there is nothing more dismaying to her than to find a skanky box filled with moldy stuff. I ask her to choose things of her OWN that she might want to trade and she always brings along nice things..things she VALUES. Most of the time she ends up taking her own stuff home (her choice).......she is 5 years old.

2x NCAA Championship coach, Billy Donovan, feels all young players should work on pivoting in the low post. He believes it gets players to feel comfortable inside and it teaches valuable footwork needed to excel in the game of basketball. Coach Donovan also likes this drill because it will force a young player to score with his or her non-dominant hand.
Player Movements: The player will drop step towards the baseline in the first series to simulate a defender playing on the high side of the post. In the second series, the player will drop step to the middle to simulate a defender playing on the low side of the post.
Drill Setup: 2 chairs, 2 basketballs, 2 people (one to rebound, one to place the ball back on the chair). Each chair will be placed between the first and second hash mark located above each block. There will be a ball placed on each chair.
Drill Tips: It's critical that the player drops the foot before picking up the basketball. If the player picks up the ball, then drops the foot, he or she will be called for a traveling violation because that player is changing pivot feet. Coach Donovan also wants the player to pick up the ball with both hands to get him or her into the habit of catching a post entry pass with two hands.
The previous clip can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "AAU Basketball Skills Series: Billy Donovan's Father and Son Workout." To view the latest video selections on Youth Basketball Training, click here.
UT-Arlington Head Coach, Scott Cross, talks about "caboosing" the hedge man who is defending a ball screen. Watch as Coach Cross uses an effective drill to practice this technique. It allows players to work on post entries, reverse pivoting, skip passes, and ultimately ball screen offense and ball screen defense.
Player Movements: There will be a group of guards located on each side of the floor. One guard is on offense and the other guard is on defense. A post man and post defender will be on the ball side block.
The guard, with the ball, will enter the ball into the post. That post player will reverse pivot and skip the ball to the opposite guard, who is just above foul line extended. The post player will then follow his skip pass and run into the ball screen.
Once the man guarding the ball screener retreats after hedging. Coach Cross wants that ball handler to "caboose" or attack. The big setting the screen will go opposite and be ready to catch a second basketball for a jump shot.
Drill Essentials: Coach Cross emphasizes two important concepts with the ball screen. The first is the guard with the ball must create separation so that the ball screen will be an effective one. That guard will step into the defender and force him back to create that space. Secondly, the ball screener must put his chest into the shoulder of the man guarding the ball to get the most out of the screen.
Drill Tips: What Coach Cross means by "caboosing", is the guy with the ball, who receives the ball screen, will wait until the hedge man retreats to attack the paint.
The previous clip can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "5-Star Coaching Series: Practice Drills and Ball Screen Offense." To view the latest video selections on Screening Drills, click here.
Highly successful Oklahoma Women's Basketball Head Coach, Sherri Coale, runs players through a two ball dribble drill with the cones. Using this drill will help develop your players' ball handling ability as well as their shooting ability.
Player Movements: The drill begins with a player doing an alternate dribble with two basketballs towards the first cone. That player will pass the basketball on the outside (right) hand to the coach on the right side of the floor. Immediately after the player passes the first ball, she will cross the second ball over from her left to right hand and attack the rim for a right-handed lay up. That player will then come off the second cone on the block, simulating a pin down screen for a corner 3-point shot on the right side. The corner 3 will come from the same coach, who received the first basketball at the start of the drill.
Coach Coale tweaks the drill at the end of this clip. The drill starts the same way, but instead of going in for a layup, the player will pull up for an elbow jump shot. After shooting the jumper, the player will simulate setting a back screen and will step high for a top of the key 3-point shot.
Drill Setup: Place one cone at the top of the key just about the 3-point line, have a coach with a basketball at the free throw line extended, and put one cone on the block which is on the same side as the coach
Drill Tips: When switching sides, the coach will move to the left side of the floor. The player will pass the ball from the left hand, cross the ball over from right to left, go in for a left-handed layup, and come off a pin down screen for a 3-point shot in the left corner.
The previous clip can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "AAU Coaching Girls Basketball Series: Perimeter Player Skill Development." To view the latest video selections on Women's Basketball Player Drills, click here.
Legendary college basketball coach, Rick Majerus, provides you with a scenario involving a dribble hand-off between an average skilled post player and one of the top scorers being chased. Enhance your defense by knowing which players to focus on in a dribble hand-off situation.
Player Movements: #5 in blue screams "Hand-off!" so his teammate, who is denying #2 in white, knows it's coming. Just like with a ball screen, the man guarding the big will aggressively hedge with a hand up onto the guard receiving the ball. #5 and #2 in blue should have no concern for the big handing off the ball. The point man in the triangle zone is responsible for the big rolling or popping after the hand-off.
Drill Essentials: As always, everything begins with communication.
Drill Tips: The two main points of the aggressive hedge are to 1) challenge a potential shot and 2) to prevent the guard from turning the corner and getting into the paint.

What does the door of a public restroom, a QR code, and email marketing all have in common?
(yes, that's a serious question.)
Last week I was at Blowfish Sushi in San Francisco. Unrelated to this blog post, but this is BY FAR the best sushi place I've even been to in my life. Thanks to Tim Hayden for taking me there (2x!)
Anyway … One beer and four glasses of water later, I found myself making my way to the men's room. I was just about to open the door when I saw this:
Holy cats … this is awesome.
Bathrooms, QR Codes, and Growing Your Email List
Rarely do I see a QR code / email list growth campaign executed as well as this one. There are 5 things that I absolutely love about this poster. From top to bottom:
- What's In It For Me? One of my biggest pet peeves in email marketing – or any marketing for that matter – is when there is no value offered for me, the consumer. Messaging such as "Like us on Facebook!" or "Follow us on Twitter!" or "Sign up for our Email List!" without any mention of what I'm going to get in return is just … well … silly. The poster tells the WIIFM right away – "Enjoy a sake cocktail or dessert on us."
- What am I supposed to do? Too often I see marketers making a critical mistake by assuming people know what to do when they see a call to action – the QR code in this case. The messaging on the poster makes it pretty clear what action they want folks to take – "Just sign up for our e-mail list by scanning this code with your smart phone." I'm not sure if this was intentional, but notice how they omit the acronym "QR"? My bet is most people don't even know what "QR" stands for. Do you? No reason to take up valuable real estate with two letters that don't make sense to most of your audience.
- The QR Code: It's large. It's in the center of the poster. It's clear. If you are going to ask people to pull out their smart phones and scan a QR code, be sure it's large enough! Note: Unfortunately, because my flash went off when I snapped this picture, the QR code will not work. Sorry!
- The Promise: I normally am not a fan of messaging such as "we never spam," but I think it works in this case. The addition of the "Don't be shy" adds a bit of humor to the promise.
- What if you don't have a smart phone (or know what a QR code is)? I'm still not sold on the fact that the average person (a) knows what a QR code is, (b) knows what to do when they see one, and/or (c) has a QR code scanner on their smart phone (if they do, they don't know where it is). That's why I love it when marketers add messaging that gives consumers options. In this case, they give people an option to go to their Twitter page and opt-in for their email list there. Try it. Go to the Blowfish Sushi Twitter page, then click on this link in their Twitter bio to subscribe to their email list. Pretty slick, huh?
BONUS: Did I mention this poster was on the men's room door. Great location. Why? It's the place that nearly everyone – well, at least all the males – will go at least once in the time they are at the restaurant!
I'd love to hear from the marketing folks at Blowfish Sushi SF. How effective has this poster been at growing their email list? What do the metrics look like – scans to clicks on URL to email opt-ins?
What do you think about this approach to grow your list? Do you have any list growth tactics you've successfully implemented? If so, leave a comment below – I'd love to feature you in an upcoming blog post!

Speaking of growing your email marketing list, did you know that my buddy Jason Falls and I just wrote a book that has an entire section dedicated to growing your email list? In The Rebel's Guide to Email Marketing: Grow Your List, Break the Rules, and Win, we also talk about a few ways to "break the rules" and still grow your list.

Reminder: There is no such thing as "best practices" when it comes to email marketing. Best practices are those that are best for your audience.

Picked up a new P Johnson piece today. Trying out the latest Loro Piana 3ply blue-grey weave s120s. Open weave super light and its navy with a grey thread. Matte yet lustrious.
Fully handfinished, half lined, notch lapels, soft shoulder, welt/flap pockets, kissing buttons, button fly, 2inch cuff and the best touch...
Patrick added some camo pocket detailing as a little surprise (he knows me well)
LOVE the camo detailing.. ill try to get a better picture tomorrowpost #23163 of 5804912/14/12 at 2:57am

I tend to agree - useful thoughts - thanks
I think the weight - in particular - is genuinely out of place here - thats why I was curious to hear what others thought and interested in overall impressions rather than details.
I suspect if it was a slightly lighter weight (btw I think that most Oz suits are too fine /light these days - I've seen some respected forum brands second hand - they don't wear {longevity and drape/fall} well - they wear well in terms of hot climate) and grey or navy it wouldn't be a problem here.
I'm not sure about "not for business" here - outside a very very narrow range of businesses/fields (or possibly even companies) any suit and tie is "dressed up"
Any one else care to chime in?
It's very English. Straight lines, sharp silhouette. Quite different from the soft shouldered Neapolitan style preferred by the iGentry. It's also very well cut, which a lot of American suits aren't.
I can see how this might jar a little on this forum.post #23164 of 5804912/14/12 at 3:38amFor those interested Mr Nice Guy Nelson has put some photographs of Double Monk up on his splendid Tumblr site (well worth checking out for a daily dose of Melbourne beauty).

$35 for professionally shortened and cuffed trousers isn't expensive - how much an hour do you expect to buy this expertise for?
How much an hour do you earn, with no rental overhead,electricity, phone etc, every hour, not dependent on customers walking in, every day every week of the year?
Do you get paid when you are sick and on holidays?
Fair point given the overheads mentioned and we are talking about City prices. Note however, besides measurements and fittings on site, Argy's complete all alterations off site in their warehouse in Surry Hills.
I mention expensive and it's all relative. I'm accustomed to the cheap rates charged by tailors out in western Sydney (Parramatta, Fairfield & Cabramatta).Quote:
How much are Leiluna charging for repairs? If you're pleased with results and costs from your current tailor then I don't see why you would change.
Don't get me wrong though, Argy's certainly do a decent job. Andrew Wilkes is the man you need to talk to. From my conversations with Andrew, I understand that Hugo Boss and Harrold's also send their alterations over to them as well -- I've seen the backroom full of their suits. I get my tailoring done at Argy's purely for convenience sake (as I work within Chifley Tower).

Consumer Alert
What You Should Know About Mortgage Rate Locks
October 1, 2003
As mortgage rates begin to rise, so do complaints about "rate locks." If you're in the market for a mortgage or are refinancing your home, please follow these tips:
Get your rate lock commitment in writing. If you choose to lock an interest rate, ensure that the rate lock commitment is in writing and that you retain a copy of the commitment. Ask whether the commitment is from the actual underwriting lender. Do not accept a rate lock commitment from a mortgage broker.
Verify that your rate lock commitment is from the mortgage lender, bank, or credit union. Remember that only mortgage lenders, banks, and credit unions are authorized to issue rate lock commitments. Mortgage brokers are not allowed to issue rate lock commitments. A mortgage broker, however, can obtain/arrange a rate lock in writing from the actual underwriting lender. Ask your mortgage broker to provide you with a copy of the rate lock commitment from the underwriting lender.
Provide all documentation to your lender or broker in a timely fashion. Throughout the mortgage application process, provide all required documentation to your lender or broker in a timely fashion and well before the rate lock expires.
Contact your lender or broker often throughout the mortgage application process. Call your lender or broker regularly during the mortgage application process to verify that the transaction is progressing smoothly.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- NASCAR has fined Joe Gibbs Racing's three crew chiefs $50,000 each for bringing unapproved oil pans to Michigan last week.
Mike Ford, Dave Rogers and Greg Zipadelli also were placed on probation Tuesday through the end of the year, as are JGR competition director Jimmy Makar and the car chiefs for all three teams.
NASCAR discovered the unapproved oil pans in the cars of Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano during a pre-practice inspection Friday at Michigan International Speedway.
Hamlin won Sunday's race, while Busch finished third.

Should you start your new business during the holidays?
A popular holiday song calls this "the most wonderful time of the year," but does that apply to starting a business? While it obviously depends on the type of business, starting up during the holidays usually involves considerations that don't apply at other times of the year. "If you're planning a business, retail or otherwise, you must know the seasonality of your product or service, be realistic about how much business you can expect to capture in the first [few] months and not have [unreasonable] expectations," says Ed Crow, president of E.L. Crow Inc., a market development consulting firm in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania.
Some issues to consider:
- Seasonal sales. Although many retail operations can take advantage of the holiday season to kick-start their businesses, be realistic about those sales and what they mean for the future. Don't let seasonal buying patterns mislead your revenue projections. If your business is subject to seasonal sales fluctuations, be sure your plan realistically reflects both early and long-term sales projections.
- Customer contact. Business-to-business operations may find it difficult to reach customers during the holiday season, especially during the last two weeks of the year. "It's a totally different world between December 15 and January 15," Crow says.
- Holiday distractions. You'll have to deal with distractions both on a personal level and with your employees. A new business requires tremendous energy and focus; be prepared to sacrifice some of your personal holiday fun. And plan to accommodate your employees' personal needs during this time of year.
- Weather. Winter storms can devastate even the best start-up plans. A severe snowstorm can take the "grand" out of your grand opening. Downed power and phone lines can halt regular operations, keep customers away and prevent suppliers from making deliveries. Have a weather contingency plan in place before you need it.
- Year-end issues. While you're dealing with start-up tasks, your customers and suppliers are dealing with year-end chores such as inventory, taxes, and a range of other internal and external issues with a December 31 deadline. Realize this can affect your operation in ways you may not have anticipated.

"I just want things to go back to normal."
When there's a shift in our lives, disorientation often follows. And it seems like the harder we try to get back to the predictable security of the mythical Land Of Normal, the less we recognize the street signs and landmarks of the terrain around us.
Just as Mrs. Lot learned when she looked back as her family was fleeing the doomed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19:1-26), there is no going back.
God is always calling us to move forward. There's no way to get there except by moving through the crossroads of transition. Business writer and consultant William Bridges, author of Managing Transitions: Making The Most Of Change, says that every transition includes three phases:
1. Letting go of the old ways and the old identity people had. This first phase of transition is an ending.
2. Going through an in-between time when the old is gone but the new isn't fully operational. We call this time the 'neutral zone'; it's when the critical psychological realignments and repatternings take place.
3. Coming out of the transition and making a new beginning. This is when people develop the new identity, experience the new energy, and discover the new sense of purpose that makes the change begin to work.
He notes, "Because transition is a process by which people unplug from an old world and plug into a new world, we can say that transition starts with an ending and finishes with a beginning."
Once we discover ourselves in transition, there is a very real pull to attempt to rectify some of the unfinished business we left behind in our Old Normal. With God's help, coming to terms with those regrets is an essential piece of the first stage of the transition we're facing. Each one of us carries the sorrow of our own accumulated "if onlies":
"If I had only finished college instead of getting married, I'd have a better career"
"If I'd have only spent more time with my kids, they'd be…"
"If only I'd have eaten healthier and exercised, I wouldn't be fighting Type II diabetes"
"If only I'd have sold my house before the market crashed…"
We can never turn back the clock to undo less-than-sterling decisions. But oh, how we wish we could! Books like Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, movies like Peggy Sue Got Married and TV series like Lost touch a deep chord in so many of us because these stories (and dozens of others like them) capture our deep longing for a "do over".
I wonder how many times Adam and Eve replayed the moment they bit into the forbidden fruit throughout the rest of their long lives (Gen. 3:1-7). Or Esau cursed himself for his impatience at trading his inheritance and his father's blessing for a bowl of lentils (Gen. 25:24-34). Or bitterest of all, the howling accusations Judas heard in his soul after he betrayed the best Friend he'd ever have (Matt. 27:1-5).
Regret tethers us to the past, and sets us up to be haunted by our sinful choices as well as coveting the imaginary idea of what life might have been like "if only". One anonymous writer noted that his regrets gave what little power he had to a past that didn't exist. Woulda coulda shoulda are the words of regret, not hope.
Most of us deal with old regrets by either trying to wish them away or resigning ourselves to continue to lug them around with us. Even if we hate the baggage, some of us are tempted to comfort ourselves with the idea that at least it's our old familiar baggage. It's been our companion during our journey to this point, right?
But God's purpose for us in transition is to help us embrace our past in order to advance us into the uncharted territory of our own neutral zone. The Holy Spirit is waiting there for each one of us, just beyond the overwhelming regrets, beckoning us forward into the crossroads with seven words that change everything:
Follow Me. I make all things new.
Ladies, please register today for "Freedom To Flourish", the women's workshop taking place at TCC from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 3. We'll be talking about spiritual growth and maturity during each season of our lives – as well as the transitions that move us from one to the next.

Clive Barker Art Book Featured on Kickstarter
Olympian Publishing founder Thomas Negovan hopes to raise $35,000 on kickstarter for a book entitled Imaginer: The Art of Clive Barker. Negovan intends to include more than 75 art pieces in the finished 160-page book.
Reportedly, this will be the first comprehensive volume profiling the artwork of Clive Barker. This book is meant to accompany the "Clive Barker: IMAGINER" art show which will open on January 18, 2014. We've embedded a video about the project above. Here's more from the Kickstarter page:
"There have been marginal explorations of Clive's artwork in the past, but the most important part of this project is that the book is composed of entirely ALL NEW and ULTRA HIGH RESOLUTION image captures. The detail is impeccable, and Clive flatteringly declared the difference in detail of the new captures compared to previously printed ones like the difference between "chalk and cheese". (Which means they're really, really good!)"

Offensive Explosion Lifts Mocs Past Catawba
Twelfth-ranked Florida Southern scored 15 first half goals en route to a 26-6 win over Catawba Sunday afternoon at Shuford Stadium in Salisbury, N.C. With the win the Moccasins improve to 8-3 overall, while Catawba falls to 2-7.
The Mocs scored the first six goals of the game, including two from Megan Asper and Rachel Ziter, to take a 6-0 lead eight minutes into the game. After an Indians goal, Lorianne Hoover connected with Caitlin Chase for her second goal of the game. After the two teams traded goals three times, Chase found Kate Culhane cutting towards to cage for her first collegiate goal. The Moccasins scored three unanswered goals in less than a minute to take a 14-4 lead with 2:56 left in the first half. After a Kim McConnery goal, Hoover scored an unassisted goal to give the Mocs a 15-5 lead at the break.
The Moccasins' attack continued in the second half, as Ferree connected with Hoover scored a man-down goal just over a minute into the half. Two minutes later, Chase connected with Asper for a goal to extend the Mocs lead to 17-6. Kortney Kavanagh scored the Indians final goal to cut the lead to 17-6. The Moccasins had seven players contribute as part of nine unanswered goals for the 26-6 final.
Florida Southern had 14 different players score at least one point led by Chase, who tallied four goals and five assists. Asper, Caffrey, Katie Ferree, and Ziter each netted three goals. It was Caffrey and Ziter's first career hat trick. Maureen Cromer scored one goal and dished out three assists in the contest.
The Moccasins set program highs in goals (26), assists (20), points (46), shots (44), and ground balls (37).
Asper led the Mocs with nine draw controls, while Megan Colucci picked up five. The Mocs had nine players pick up at least three ground balls lead by Mara Mason, who picked up six. Lindsay Holdway made three saves in 54 minutes of action.
The Moccasins return to action Friday when they host Converse at Bryant Stadium. Game time is 1 p.m.

Chris Pronger doesn't appear like he'll ever return as an NHL player, but he still has a future in the game and is likely headed to the Hall of Fame after he officially retires. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
2013-07-06 11:33:00
Chris Pronger has been sidelined with post-concussion syndrome and an eye injury since late 2011 and it appears the ailments will keep the hulking defenseman from ever returning to NHL ice. But that doesn't mean Pronger has completely stepped away from the game loves. The 38-year-old spent much of the 2012-13 season scouting defensemen for the Flyers.
THN's Ken Campbell caught up with Pronger at the 2013 NHL draft in New Jersey to discuss his new role with the Flyers, his future in hockey when he does officially retire and his health.

EW's critic includes a gritty Boston thriller, an animated classic in the making, and a refreshing new take on family among the year's top new releases. Plus: The five worst he saw in the past 12 months
1. The Social Network
It's been a long time since we saw a movie that's a zingingly scripted, boldly acted, intricately executed thriller for the brain and a brilliant topical riff on what's really happening in America. Jesse Eisenberg, in the finest performance by an actor this year, plays Mark Zuckerberg as a magnetic jerk-hero who invents Facebook not just because he feels like an outsider, but because he has an idea to rewire who we are. Eisenberg speaks Aaron Sorkin's genius-on-every-level dialogue with a speed-of-thought blunt sincerity that has you hanging on every rudely intoxicating word. In the twin lawsuits that frame it, the film sees Zuckerberg as pitiless but, in his misanthropic grand-scheme way, justified. Yet he is left, in the end, alone, and that's hooked to The Social Network's most teasing perception: that a world that turns ''friends'' into a system may drive us as far apart as it draws us together.

By Phillip Jordan
When volunteers arrived at Sunday night's opening ceremony and dinner at the Cambodiana Hotel in downtown Phnom Penh, members of each of the 21 partner families stood waiting to greet them.

The combination of hugs, smiles, bows and handshakes that ensued had been long dreamed about by those on both sides of the encounter. Tomorrow, those dreams will start to become 21 houses.
More than 300 volunteers from 13 countries will work in Cambodia at the 26th Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project. Most of them gathered Sunday night for the week's opening celebration.
Red, white and blue ribbons—the colors of Cambodia's flag—covered the banquet hall. Musicians and dancers, dressed in traditional Khmer clothing, performed throughout the dinner. Homeowners-to-be studied these new volunteers who had traveled long distances to help build their homes. Conversations flowed, with hand gestures supplementing unknown words of different languages.
"I hope you are ready for an amazing experience this week," said Bernadette Bolo-Duthy, national director of Habitat for Humanity Cambodia. "One that will have you working across cultures and communities.
"Remember, you are not only making a difference in the lives of these 21 families, but we hope that they, and this week, will make a difference in your lives as well."
Youth volunteers at work
The Mekong Build already has made a difference in the lives of some of the project's youngest volunteers. Thanks to a pair of Habitat Cambodia partnerships, about 70 youth volunteers are among those joining in the build week.
Fifty-three of the youth come from Cambodia. Some live near Phnom Penh, but many traveled from provinces throughout the country. Others come from Malaysia, New Zealand, India, Australia and China. Most are students; all are between 18 and 25.
A local university's service-learning program and a national young-professionals service network helped Habitat recruit the volunteers. Habitat's Asia and Pacific area office sponsored each participant, hoping to get more local and regional youth interested in volunteering—and to have youth from different cultures meet people.
On Sunday morning, all of these volunteers were together for the first time, finding common languages—or smiles—to communicate with each other. After a training and orientation session, the volunteers took buses to the Steung Meanchey dump—the soon-to-be-former home of the families partnering with Habitat this week.
It was a sobering visit for many of the youth. The unrelenting stench and sheer size of the mountainous dump—and the stark poverty of all the communities surrounding it—quickly overwhelmed the senses.
Rottana Noun, however, felt almost at home. The 23-year-old lives in Phnom Penh, and for the past six months has been helping two or three times a week in the makeshift villages around the dump. She volunteers with a locally-run organization that distributes food in the neighborhoods.
As Noun got off the bus Sunday, a pair of girls immediately recognized her and ran to hug her waist.
"This is why I was interested in helping build," Noun said. "My dad told me about the Habitat project, and when I realized the families they are building with came from near the dump, I said, 'Wow! What a connection. I have to do this!'"
Savin Kan, 21, volunteered for the Carter project in Cambodia because he has not seen the poverty that faces many families in the country's capital. Kan is from Sihanoukville, on Cambodia's southern coast.
"This is only my second time here," Kan said. "I just wanted to come volunteer and do what I can to help."
Noun says she's happy to see so many young people from her country taking part in the project. "A lot of times we don't think about these kinds of people," she says. "It's good for us to see the other side of our own world."

Two types of asexual reproduction are found in sea anemones. These are longitudinal fission and pedal laceration. A third type, budding, is mentioned here with reference to zoanthids, a group related to sea anemones.
NOTE budding is also found in hydrozoans (see LEARN ABOUT HYDROIDS: REPRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT). A fourth type of asexual reproduction, transverse fission (strobilation) is found in jellyfish polyps (see LEARN ABOUT JELLYFISHES:REPRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT). All 4 types result in the formation of genetically identical clones.
|Research study 1
A clue to the origin of aggregations of Anthopleura elegantissima was provided by early observations that the members of a given aggregation have identical colour pattern and sex.
A clone or clones of Anthopleura elegantissima growing
|Research study 2
Although Anthopleura elegantissima is commonly seen in its aggregated or clonal form, another form also exists, larger in size and solitary. Both types sexually produce planula larvae, but the solitary form does not propagate asexually by fission as does the clonal form. Whereas the clonal form occurs more often on the tops of boulders exposed to surf, the solitary form inhabits more protected areas, is usually lower on the shore, and may be partly buried in sand. The solitary form is reported to reach sizes of up to 20cm basal diameter. Although the issue remains controversial, the latest detailed genetic study of the 2 forms now suggests that they are different species.
NOTE the larger solitary species, common on rocky shores in central and southern California, is now formally designated as Anthopleura sola n. sp. As noted above, it differs from the sibling species A. elegantissma mainly in its larger size and absence of asexual reproduction. The authors recommend "sunburst anemone" as its common name. Their paper includes useful comparative descriptions of all 4 species of Anthopleura. . The photograph on the Left, courtesy J.S. Pearse, shows a single A. sola surrounded by a presumed clone of A. elegantissima
Several large Anthopleura in an aquarium tank...possibly the larger solitary A.
|Research study 3
|Aggregations of the intertidal sea-anemone Anthopleura elegantissima are formed through asexual division (longitudinal fission) of individuals. To divide, the 2 halves of an individual appear simply to crawl away from one another and, in time, to split in two. The offspring are genetically identical clones, and these often exist on the shore in large aggregations separated from one another by distinct interclonal boundaries. Fission takes between 1-8wk, and occurs generally once per year during autumn and winter when food is scarce. Clonal aggregations may take years to become established, but can persist for several decades.
|Research study 4
An aggregating anemone Anthopleura
|Research study 5
|Research study 6
After the polyps of Anthopleura or Corynactis divide, they move slowly away from the colony centre to provide room for further growth. Laboratory measurements of polyp movement in Corynactis californica at the Bodega Marine Laboratory, California indicate a mean rate of 5mm . mo-1, much slower than in actiniarian polyps such as Anthopleura. Corallimorpharians apparently lack the basilar muscles present in actiniarians, so perhaps some of the movement is by "tidal" flow from increase in mass in the central part of the colony. The authors also report fission rates in the laboratory (at Santa Cruz, California) of once every 2mo, a rate that is intermediate between actiniarians and scleractinians.
The corallimorpharian Corynactis californica
Research study 1
Research study 2
Research study 3
Research study 4
A more detailed laboratory study by the same author as in the foregoing Research Study on 3 species of Metridium collected in Bodega Bay, California provides comparative information on maximum size attained and asexual reproductive proficiency. Metridium exilis is a small intertidal species (typically 0.2cm2 pedal disc area) that reproduces asexually by binary fission (longitudinal fission). Ad libitum feeding on adult brine shimps increases the rate of asexual reproduction, but has little effect on maximum size (1.2cm2 as shown in the accompanying graph). The author notes that sexual reproduction in M. exilis may be quite rare.
Metridium senile is a larger species (to 45cm2), lives from mid-intertidal to shallow subtidal regions in Bodega Bay, and reproduces both sexually and asexually, the latter by fragmentation (=pedal laceration). Experimentally inflicted lacerations indicate that regenerative capability is excellent. All lacerated fragments of column and pedal disc grow to tentacled state within 3wk (seawater temperature not given).
NOTE examination of 356 individuals collected monthly over 2.5yr reveals no evidence of gonadal development. Thus, intertidal populations likely consist of a few clones
NOTE the process is described in older literature referred to by the author and goes as follows: the ends of the torn fragment curl together, fuse, and the piece increases in height. Tentacle buds appear, lengthen, and a mouth forms. This, combined with internal development of gastrovascular cavity, pharynx, and mesenteries eventually leads to an individual that is indistinguishable from a sexually produced one (see drawings on Right)

Jamason's Story
18-year-old Jamason was diagnosed with asthma as an infant. He never really understood the dangers of secondhand smoke until it triggered a severe asthma attack. Jamason never smoked cigarettes. Even when friends tried to talk him into having one cigarette, he would reply, "It's just not cool to smoke."
Jamason's worst attack occurred when he was 16, at a fast food restaurant where he worked. He was sweeping close to some coworkers who were smoking, and he started having trouble breathing. He called his mother, frantic for help. She found him at work gasping for air. He was hospitalized for 4 days.

Jamason and his mother Sherri talk about the day Jamason had to go to the hospital after having a severe asthma attack at work, triggered by exposure to secondhand smoke. Recounting the drive to the hospital, Sherri said, "I just held his hand, and told him just squeeze it every now and then so I know he's breathing." In this video from CDC's Tips From Former Smokers campaign, Jamason admits that after such a severe attack, he was afraid to leave the hospital because he knew that outside, in the real world, people smoke.

Specialized's tig-welded Stumpjumper, designed by Tim Neenan, was the first mass-produced mountain bike. Before the Stumpjumper, mountain bikes were being hand built, or around-town bikes were being individually modified to make them trail ready. The process was expensive and there was a long wait time for a custom bike. The Stumpjumper was mass-produced in Japan based on the design for a custom-made bike originally marketed by Tom Ritchey, Gary Fisher and Charles Kelly. It sold for $750, and had French touring parts (brakes and cranks), Japanese parts (hubs, shifters/derailleurs), motorcycle-sourced brake levers, and a BMX stem and pedals. Despite the steep price, especially for the early '80s, once the box arrived, the bike had to be built almost from scratch.

MagicJack VocalTec Communications' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Okay, now that we have got that out of the way. I will go over some of the major items in the most recent quarter. Firstly, the company reported revenue in Q2 of $38.6 million compared to $28.8 million in the same period a year ago representing growth year-on-year of almost 34%. Sequentially, compared to Q1 2012 revenue growth was almost 10%, if one excludes the approximately $2.5 million in revenue associated with the implementation of international prepaid billing rules from the Q1 numbers.
Secondly, reducing costs is a [man] curve at the company. So let me discuss improvements in several of the cost categories. Advertising expenditures have been reduced over the last few quarters, we continue to use very cost effective remnant TV advertising and the efficiency of these short form TV swaps is clear from our ongoing sales volumes.
With respect to network costs. As we expected, we have been a beneficiary of the recent FCC access charge reforms. Net-net the cost per customer is about $1.50 per year, while our renewal rates might be the best in the industry. On the G&A line item, we did also share improvement here mainly due to reduced legal expenses. As a result operating income for Q2 was $10.3 million up from $3.3 million in Q1 2012 again excluding the IPP one-time items in Q1.
Next, let me turn to our share repurchase program. Our share repurchase program continues to be very successful and we are now down to 19.4 million shares outstanding at the end of the quarter. In terms of our new product pipeline, let me discuss a few of the exciting items we are focused on here. So as many of you know, we are gearing up for the production of the magicJack WiFi for fourth quarter introduction. The company is also completing the rollout of the magicJack APP for the Google Android platforms. We have been very pleased with the success of the magicJack APP on the Apple iOS devices. We will also be adding texting to our apps later this year and at that point, we will really start promoting the apps. We will seek ways to monetize the apps next year in 2013.

A percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTHC) is a way to look for something that might be blocking the flow of bile or for other problems in the liver or bile ducts. Bile is a fluid made by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps the body digest fats. The bile ducts are the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and to the small intestine.
To make blockages show up on X-rays, a dye is injected directly into the drainage system of the liver. As the dye moves through the ducts, it can be seen on a TV screen. If there is a blockage, the dye shows where the blockage is. Causes of a blockage may be a gallstone, cancer, or other growth.
There are 2 main procedures for looking at the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts: PTHC and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
ERCP is the test of choice because:
PTHC is used when:
Before the test, be sure to let your healthcare provider know if you:
For clear X-ray images, the stomach must be empty. You may be asked not to eat or drink anything after midnight the day of the test, or for at least 8 hours before the test.
The test is often done at an outpatient clinic. It usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour.
You will be given a local anesthetic to prevent pain. You will also be given a sedative that will relax you and may put you to sleep. You will lie on your back on a table that tilts. The upper right side of your abdomen will be cleaned and then a long, thin, flexible needle will be inserted through your skin high on the right side of the belly into the liver. Dye will be injected through the needle and into the liver. Your healthcare provider will watch the dye moving through the bile ducts on a TV screen. Still X-rays will also be taken. If a blockage is found, your provider may insert a thin flexible tube, called a catheter. This will allow bile to drain into a bag outside the body or into the small intestine.
After the test, you will need to rest in bed for at least 6 hours. This is necessary to make sure there is no bleeding from the site of the injection.
Possible side effects of the dye include:
You may notice soreness for 1 to 2 days at the site where the needle was put into your skin.
The benefits of PTHC are:
Call your provider right away if:

After adding the above code, when I restarted sshd, it stopped and did not started again due to some error.
1. anyways, I have added a user through useradd, and he has sftp access by default. I also made him to be the only user to su to root, and disallowed root to login. Is this a good practise??
NOW, I am facing some permission problems. I am using nginx webserver.
- I have my folder structure like this: /home/username/public_html
- Owner of "home" and "username" is root. Fine!
- Owner of public_html is "nginx". Okay!
Now, I am unable to upload files as user "username" in public_html folder (which belongs to nginx). However, if I change the owner of public_html to "username", it works fine.
2. So, my question is how do I make my "username" to be able to add/delete files in folders of other users, except root ofcourse.
Thank you
