(NKJV) Proverbs 10:1
Chapter 10Wise Sayings of Solomon 1 The proverbs of Solomon:A wise son makes a glad father,But a foolish son is the grief of his mother. 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,But righteousness delivers from death. 3 The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish,But He casts away the desire of the wicked. 4 He who has a slack hand becomes poor,But the hand of the diligent makes rich. 5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son;He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame. 6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 7 The memory of the righteous is blessed,But the name of the wicked will rot. 8 The wise in heart will receive commands,But a prating fool will fall. 9 He who walks with integrity walks securely,But he who perverts his ways will become known. 10 He who winks with the eye causes trouble,But a prating fool will fall. 11 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life,But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirs up strife,But love covers all sins. 13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding,But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding. 14 Wise people store up knowledge,But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city;The destruction of the poor is their poverty. 16 The labor of the righteous leads to life,The wages of the wicked to sin. 17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,But he who refuses correction goes astray. 18 Whoever hides hatred has lying lips,And whoever spreads slander is a fool. 19 In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,But he who restrains his lips is wise. 20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;The heart of the wicked is worth little. 21 The lips of the righteous feed many,But fools die for lack of wisdom.p 22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich,And He adds no sorrow with it. 23 To do evil is like sport to a fool,But a man of understanding has wisdom. 24 The fear of the wicked will come upon him,And the desire of the righteous will be granted. 25 When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more,But the righteous has an everlasting foundation. 26 As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,So is the lazy man to those who send him. 27 The fear of the Lord prolongs days,But the years of the wicked will be shortened. 28 The hope of the righteous will be gladness,But the expectation of the wicked will perish. 29 The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity. 30 The righteous will never be removed,But the wicked will not inhabit the earth. 31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,But the perverse tongue will be cut out. 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.(NKJV Notes) Proverbs 10:21 10:21 p Literally heart NKJV Copyright

Google has started to pilot a new quality program aimed at alerting webmasters when their websites are outside of Google's guidelines. Matt Cutts, unofficial spokesman for Google, has an article on his blog outlining the new program.
The Google Quality Program for lack of a better name is aiming to inform webmasters about parts of their websites that they may not even be aware that are outside of the Google terms of service (TOS). A black hat SEO may have gotten a hold of their website and placed bogus pages or code on the website that the webmasters may not even know about.
For those who have had their websites drop suddenly in the rankings or drop out of Google's index altogether and left wondering why, this may just be the ticket that some naive webmasters need to help them define the problem, so that they can track down and fix their sites. Cutt's site also offers some tips for re-inclusion for those who have been dropped from Google.
Anyway, it's good to know that Google is taking a customer-friendly approach in helping webmasters. It makes good sense and good public relations to give webmasters the benefit of the doubt and help those with legitimate websites who erringly hired the wrong person or company to get back into the Google index. Two thumbs up for a customer-friendly approach.

Yale Concert
Duke Ellington And His Orchestra
1. The Little Purple Flower (Parts I & II) 10:47 2. Put-tin 3:58 3. A Chromatic Love Affair 3:58 4. Boola, Boola 3:18 5. A Johnny Hodges Medley: Warm Valley / Drag 8:27 6. Salome 3:28 7. Swamp Goo 4:33 8. Up-jump 3:08 9. Take The 'A' Train 3:33
With the exception of "Warm Valley" and "Take the 'A' Train," Duke Ellington's Yale Concert consisted of pieces new to most listeners and certainly new to the maestro's recorded repertoire. The band felt at home with the Yale audience in the vast reaches of Woolsey Hall and performed with its inimitable blend of relaxation and intensity. There are superb solos from Cootie Williams, Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves, and Cat Anderson. The band's pianist conspires with bassist Jeff Castleman to create for the occasion a blues built around Yale's theme song. Ellington's spoken introductions are part of the entertainment, archly inventive complements to the music. Yale Concert preserves a fine Ellington one-nighter.
with Cat Anderson, Cootie Williams, Mercer Ellington, Chuck Connors, Johnny Hodges, Russell Procope, Paul Gonsalves, Jimmy Hamilton, Harry Carney, Sam Woodyard, and others

Open Source/Open Science 1999
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Long Island, NY, hosted the first conference to deal directly with open source and science. The conference was appropriately titled "Open Source/Open Science".
There are many similarities between the Open Source (or Free Software) movement and the scientific method, having in common the free exchange of ideas. Publishing one's theories and experimental results to confirm or rebuke a given idea on the mechanisms of Mother Nature is one of the methods used to advance science. Posting your software on an FTP site for others to download, criticize (or compliment) and return enhancements and bug fixes to be included in the source-code base follows the lines of the open aspect of scientific research.
Because of this close parallel and the fact that scientists strive to use the latest technology available and often invent new technologies to advance their research, a conference on the subject of open-source software and its use in science was considered appropriate. The fact is, scientists have been relying on GNU/open-source/free software for a long time now. Growth of its use and reliance on this software is escalating each year.
The conference was held on October 2, 1999 on the Laboratory campus. The first goal was to highlight the use of open-source software in science; the second was to encourage the private domain to contribute their software technology to the open-source code base. Finally, it was deemed appropriate to couple this event with a public relations outreach to the local and national community by informing them of the exciting work going on at BNL. Since open-source software can be used by anyone from grade-school kids running Linux on their PCs to weather-forecasting supercomputers, this proved to be a great opportunity for the public to relate to the science done at BNL and other national laboratories and universities nationwide.
During the day, a single track of invited talks was given. Complementing these talks were tours of the research facilities where open-source software plays a major role. They include two of the four RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) detectors, the Information Technology Division, the Neuroimaging Research Facility and the National Synchrotron Light Source. A call for abstracts was issued for open-source software projects used in research; 14 abstracts were submitted. A room full of X terminals served off a Linux PC was used to demonstrate each. abstracts.
The invited talks were broken into four groups. The first one was called "Introduction to Open Source and Open Science". Bruce Perens talked about open source, and Dan Gezelter, a chemist who directs the Open Science project at Notre Dame and is in charge of the http://www.openscience.org/ web site, gave an introduction to his open-science project.
The second set focused on large-scale computing. Yuefan Deng started this section by describing the modest Galaxy Beowulf cluster built at the State University of New York, Stony Brook. This was followed by Tom Throwe of BNL with a talk on the RHIC Computing Center (RCF). The goal of the RCF is to amass 1000 Intel nodes to process in "real time" the data generated by RHIC's four detectors at a continuous rate of 60MB/second. Kent Koeninger, from SGI, gave a talk on the open sourcing of the XFS journaling file system—a key component needed for large-scale computing facilities like the RCF, which will be processing petabytes (a million gigabytes) of data on a yearly basis. Malcolm Capel of BNL's biology department talked about the use of Mosix to manage a 16-node Linux farm. These PCs are used to decode genetic structures from data collected through X-ray diffraction techniques at the National Synchrotron Light Source.
The third set was dedicated to analysis and visualization software. Bill Horn from IBM talked about OpenDX and how it became open-source software. Jon Leech of SGI presented the open-source efforts on OpenGL and GLX. Mark Galassi of Los Alamos National Laboratory presented his work on the GNU Scientific Library. Finally, Bill Rooney of BNL closed this section by presenting the open-source efforts in medical-imaging research.
The final section focused on the political arena. Jon "maddog" Hall titled his talk "It ain't Open'Til It's Open". Immediately following, he moderated a panel discussion on "overcoming the obstacles faced by the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Science Foundation and national facilities like BNL in using and contributing to open-source technologies". Panelists included Larry Augustin of VA Linux, Oggy Shentov of Pennie and Edmonds, a NYC law firm specializing in intellectual-property law, Michael Johnson of Red Hat, Bruce Perens of technocrat.net and Fred Johnson from the DOE. The panel discussion proved to be a lively one. Fred Johnson stated he was taking close notes of all that transpired and would be reporting back to the DOE.
The conference was deemed a success by all. Over 200 people were in attendance. Vendors displayed their computer equipment, software and services. Red Hat and VA Linux provided major sponsorship funds. Several members of the Laboratory directorate attended the meeting. One of them told me a few days later that he thought the event would be looked back on as a turning point in the Open Source movement in science.
When not building detectors in search of the quark gluon plasma at BNL with the PHENIX experiment, Stephen Adler (firstname.lastname@example.com) spends his time either 4-wheeling around the lab grounds or writing articles about the people behind the Open Source movement.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

By The Hays Daily News
The Fort Hays State University softball team, ranked No. 17 in NCAA Division II, went 4-0 in road doubleheader sweeps against Truman State (Mo.) University and Lindenwood (Mo.) University on Friday and Saturday. The Tigers defeated Truman State 1-0 and 4-0 and beat Lindenwood 11-1 in a contest called after five innings because run rule and won the second contest 3-2. The Tigers improved to 27-5 overall and 9-1 MIAA.
Against Truman State, senior ace Maddie Holub threw the second complete game no-hitter of her career and hit a homer for the contest's only run in Game 1. She faced two batters over the minimum. In the second contest, Holub homered again, her 13th of the season, tying Jessika Anastos' single season school record set back in 2008. Freshman Paxton Duran threw her fourth shutout of the year.
Against Lindenwood, FHSU scored three runs through the first two innings and then tallied five runs in the fourth inning. Holub was perfect through the first three innings under she allowed a hit in the fourth inning, ending a streak of 10 no-hit innings. She moved to 14-1 overall.
In the second game, Duran worked five innings and improved to 11-4 with the victory. Holub pitched the final two innings for her third save. FHSU broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning when Jenna Lang led off with a double and scored on a two-out bases loaded walk from Holub.

Adult human pancreatic endocrine stem cells: Induction of beta-cell differentiation through chemical genomics and transplantation of encapsulated cells as an integrated approach to the treatment of type I diabetes
Read more
Funding Type:
Early Translational I
Grant Number:
ICOC Funds Committed:
Public Abstract:
Type I diabetes (also known as juvenile diabetes) is an autoimmune disease in which the body's white blood cells destroy the cells in the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin. Insulin is important in signaling to cells in the body that there is a lot of sugar circulating in the blood. Without insulin, the cells in the body cannot take up that sugar and use it for energy. This results in the body's cells essentially starving to death and also leads to persistently high levels of blood sugar, which causes damage to many organs in the body over time. One approach to definitively treating type I diabetes is to replace the insulin-secreting cells, also known as beta-cells. We have been studying for many years the issue of whether there are endocrine stem cells in the adult human pancreas that can become beta-cells. A couple of years ago, we demonstrated that such cells exist. However, to turn that finding into a therapy, we need to be able to control the process by which the endocrine stem cells form new beta-cells. To turn the endocrine stem cells into beta-cells, we propose to use a method called high-throughput screening. This is the same method that large pharmaceutical companies use to discover new drugs. Essentially, it involves testing thousands of small molecules for their ability to cause a certain biological process to occur, in our case causing endocrine stem cells to differentiate. Once we have found initial candidates for molecules that can promote beta-cell formation, we will use chemical approaches to optimize the initial candidates. At the end of the process, we hope that have an efficient process that causes the stem cells to move along the path to becoming functional beta-cells. The final part of solving the problem of developing a new treatment for type I diabetes is to find a way to reinsert the new beta-cells into the body. Because people with type I diabetes have an immune system that kills beta-cells, which is why they have diabetes in the first place, any transplanted beta-cells will also be eliminated by immune attach. Thus, we have been studying a device into which the cells can be placed and that protects them from immune attack. This device, called a macroencapsulation device, surrounds that cells with a semipermeable membrane that allows insulin to exit into the bloodstream and nutrients to enter, but keeps immune cells out. We have tested this device in a mouse model of type I diabetes and it works well to protect beta-cells from immune destruction. By combining the human endocrine stem cells, high-throughput screening, chemical optimization, and macroencapsulation, we hope to be able to move towards a small human clinical trial.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Diabetes is a major public health problem that affect citizens throughout the world, including California. The goal of this proposal is to develop a new therapy for diabetes, based on transplanting human endocrine stem/progenitor cells in the context of a macroencapsulation device that will protect the cells from immune rejection. Successful development of this approach could lead to elimination of the need to inject insulin and also to elimination of diabetic complications such as blindness and kidney failure. There are substantial economic benefits to California as well. The project is being led by a local biotechnology company that is focused on drug development. Success would lead to growth of that company and increased employment for scientists and other personnel involved in the project.

Name brand Blu-ray players break the $200 barrier
Blu-ray players from Samsung and Sony have been spotted for less than $200, confirming earlier rumors of Blu-ray price drops this fall.
EngadgetHD has been keeping a close eye on the prices of Blu-ray players, and recently noticed that both the Samsung BD-P1500 and Sony BDP-S300 have fallen below the $200 mark at certain stores (RadioShack and Amazon.com, respectively.) This is right in line with previous reports of falling Blu-ray prices, and while the BDP-S300 is pretty old, the BD-P1500 is currently Samsung's most recent Blu-ray player. In many ways, these cuts are more important than the budget players we've seen from Insignia and Memorex , since for many people it's a lot easier to drop $200 on Blu-ray if they know they're getting a "Sony."
EngadgetHD's link to RadioShack is no longer working, and we couldn't find the BD-P1500 on the site by searching--we're guessing they're sold out. But if you can find the BD-P1500 for $200, it's a much better deal than the BDP-S300. When we tested the BDP-S300, we found it painfully slow and it only supports the older Profile 1.0 standard.
The BD-P1500, on the other hand, is currently Profile 1.1 -compatible and is upgradeable to Profile 2.0 , and considerably faster to use than the BDP-S300. The BD-P1500 is also on deck to get DTS-HD Master Audio decoding in the future, which means you'll be able to get high-resolution soundtracks using most HDMI-equipped AV receivers.
Samsung's BD-P1500 Blu-ray player dips under $200Sony's BDP-S300 1080p Blu-ray player sinks below $200

Dictionary » S » Speciation SpeciationDefinition noun, plural: speciations The process in which new genetically distinct species evolve usually as a result of genetic isolation from the main population.
Due to Genetic Isolation, the differences in gene pools among species become so great that they cannot reproduce through interbreeding. As a result, new species are formed with a genome that is genetically distinct from the main population. The ways in which new species are formed are as follows:

Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome and Greater Trochanteric Bursitis
UW Health's Sports Medicine doctors treat a wide range of common athletic injuries.
Iliotibial band (ITB) friction syndrome and greater trochanteric bursitis (GTB) are typical overuse conditions frequently observed in individuals that participate in running and bicycling. Both conditions are usually associated with repetitive hip and knee flexion (bending) and extension (straightening).
The ITB is composed of fibrous connective tissue which extends from the lateral hip downward, crossing the knee joint on the lateral side before inserting into the front and outside of the shin bone (tibia). The muscles that insert into the upper portion of the ITB are the gluteus muscles posteriorly (back) and laterally, and the tensor fascia lata anteriorly (front) and laterally. Tightness, secondary to weakness in these muscle groups, may be a contributing factor in symptoms of both ITB friction syndrome and GTB.
In simple terms, the ITB can be viewed as a large rubber band extending from the lateral hip to the lateral leg, which functionally crosses two joints, the hip and the knee. It is believed that the repetitive rubbing of the ITB across the lateral aspect of the knee bones causes the inflammatory response and pain.
The greater trochanteric bursa is a fluid-filled sac that essentially serves to lubricate the gluteus medius muscle as it inserts into the bony prominence of the lateral hip, called the greater trochanter. This facilitates fluid movement of the gluteus medius during function.
Signs and Symptoms
ITB friction syndrome is an achiness or pain typically found over the lateral (outside) aspect of the knee. The onset of this pain usually occurs toward the middle or end of running or bicycling. It is not unusual for the pain or achiness to continue for some time after completion of the exercise.
Symptoms of GTB are usually noted over the lateral aspect of the hip. Similar to ITB friction syndrome, achiness and pain is usually evident toward the end of running or bicycling, although the symptoms may persist well after conclusion of the exercise.
Potential Predisposing Factors
- Excessive bow-leggedness (genu varum)
- Insufficient strength of core muscles such as the glutes and abdominals
- Overpronation (hypermobility) of the foot/ankle joint with impact
- Leg length discrepancy
- Improper training
- Insufficient warm-up and/or cool-down
- Insufficient post-exercise stretching
- Overtraining
- Running on a crowned surface or short track
Treatment and Prevention
- Initiate and maintain quality warm-up and cool-down
- Consistent stretching of ITB and hip musculature
- Individualize running shoes/orthotics based on foot/ankle function
- Evaluate core muscle strength as it relates to symptoms
- Avoid crowned surfaces/running same route every time
- Evaluate running regimen for poor progression
- Consider decrease in training

Doesn't work without the remote
Can't play a DVD without the remote which my 4 year old has lost - what a stupid design
very poor product
This is not a good dvd player , I purchased as an impulse buy as could not be offered anything else as out of stock of other players . It is so cheap looking and so overpriced , I dont know how maplins have the gall to sell it . Also you can not play the dvd function without the remote which is crazy . The case that comes with it is very cheap also .....someone is making alot of profit from a very poor product . I will definitely be taking it back for a full refund .
this is the third time I have tried to post a comment. I noted this TV/DVD player at the local store and my friend purchased one. I could not find the product on the web site, only by product code.! The device works simply on mains or 12 volt without extra devices attached so ideal for my campervan. The aerial provided works inside the house and van with the TV transmitter's being 10 miles away. The picture is good but sound poor and headphones help with the unit. As reception poor on camp sites I use a satellite dish and the shop were helpful with ideas and advised fitted over a back seat saving space and holes in the vans roof. The instructions for the fitting and sockets useless if non existent. the hanger?? had a tight spring release which has now broken, but as I do not know its use not of concern yet. Appears good product but poorly advertised and poor instructions. ideal for the limited space in my van, but will have to use like a laptop as remote sensor on front of the base unit.
Not that good
Bought this for campervan trip around France . Sound is very quiet and tinny. Had to be within 1 foot of it to hear speaking. You also have to be looking exact right angle to see anything. So not comfy viewing or good for 2 people to watch. Despite the sound being so quiet they managed to make the DVD drive itself really noisy. The casing is cheap and clunky. Oh and yes, you can't play DVD without the remote, which is ridiculous as it's wafer thin and just fell down side of chair in campervan so I have to now unpack loads of stuff to find it just to play a DVD. Sorry maplin but this has not been a nice consumer experience for me
Not happy
Purchased for hospital patient for the TV but even with more powerful aerial no connection. DVD works but was only purchased for TV. For me waste of money too late to get refund.
A good product overall
I bought the product at Easter. It works well as a DVD player, but the supplied aerial is a no-no in my part of the country--once connected to the home TV aerial it auto tuned very quickly and easily, but even once tuned, the supplied aerial is still a non-starter--where I live. I have connected to the TV at home with the HDMI--this will show the DTV, but have not yet got the DVD to work via the HDMI on my home TV--not sure if this is because I have not yet found the right setting--I have emailed Maplin--hope to have a reply sooner--rather than later.
Rather Disappointing
The feel is bulky and plasticky. The aerial supplied is a joke, as with most similar devices. That said, the unit does play most DVDs (not all of my own recordings on DVD-RW) and (with a decent aerial) tunes in TV. Picture is OK. I was specially disappointed to find that you can't play DVDs without using the remote control. There are buttons on the unit for play, stop, forward, reverse, volume etc but no "OK" button to allow you to get off the DVD menu and start playing a track. I suppose at least that it means you're less likely to lose the remote. The internal speakers are very tinny, but sound is OK on headphones. There seem to be lots of other functions but I haven't tried them. So overall it does the job but quality and design are unconvincing. Don't know how long it will last, especially the DVD drive.

Check out the Heinlein Group Publishing web site for my guest blog post.
Let me know what you think.
Check out the Heinlein Group Publishing web site for my guest blog post.
Let me know what you think.
When you're an entrepreneur you're always looking out to know if what you're being told is what is actually being sold you. Well, Apple is calling it's new iPhone 4 display "Retina Display" and according to Bryan Jones and his blog post "Apple Retina Display" Apple is living up to it's marketing.
Good, glad that that is settled. Now where is my debit card, I need to take a trip to the AT&T or Apple store.
As an entrepreneur and startup there is one thing that you work on: if you can't do it yourself, hire someone to do it for you. Creating new documents can take time, but designing templates, or finding someone else's designed templates, can save you time in the many tasks that
Inkd is just one such company the designs iWork templates, including a number of sections of free templates, both free to download and upload your own designs.
StockLayouts is another iWork Pages template web site with nicely designed templates for business use.
Check out both sites and see if you can reduce the amount of time it takes you to get your marketing up and out the door.
If anything, you can get some great ideas from them to try out yourself. It may take longer, but you'll increase your Mac and iWork skill set and get things done yourself.
If you design a product or service be aware that there are both positive and negative consequences to your product design. Notice here the comments about "The Club" for preventing car theft. It actually ENHANCES the chances of being stolen. Why? Check out this article "What car thieves think about The Club" about engineering and auto theft prevention.
So, definitely have someone take a look at your product before you put it to market to see if you're not helping the wrong persons.
Here's a good laugh for the day.
As any entrepreneur will tell you, and using a Mac, it's about getting who you are out into the market among the rest of the businesses that you compete against. It's also about connecting the dots when it comes to knowing your customer.
First. You have to have a product or service that you intend to sell to your ideal customer. This is a given, so I won't belabor this point.
Second. You need social media to attract your customers to you. If you go to the Cool Infographics site you'll find lots of sweet ways of showing information that you can learn from. But Willis Wee's post about one graphic he described social media and how it is changing business communication. As an entrepreneur you need to address, as time and resources permit, to working some of these social media channels. But remember, the channel is NOT the customer, it is just that, a channel. What flows IN the channel is the communication between you and your customers and fans. It's how you communicate with them.
So where do you start first? I enjoy Derek Sivers blog posts and when you watch his TED talk about How to start a movement he gives you some insights about your first customer. He says basically to connect with them. Hint: It's the people that are eager to connect with you in the first place, not necessarily those that you think you need to or are chasing. So be careful who you may casually dismiss. Why, because of the next item.
Third. You're looking for your 1000 fans. The Long Tail is the number of customers as a young business have, and in the beginning very few. The chance they you'll be another Britney Spears or Rolling Stones or a company like Apple is very slim, sort of the "Top Head" to the left of the of the graph versus the long tail to the right. Not that you can't or could not get there, but the greater the success the greater the risk and efforts. Most are looking for the just the first sale, but by using the social media tools you can get your 1000 fans that will follow you on a regular basis. The 1000 fans are those that you will have the most influence with and those that will influence you and what you do. You need to be "the farmer" to them and take care of them like an organic farmer does to his land, keep them healthy with health interaction.

I've been wondering lately how many people are like me and still trying to figure out what they want to do 'when I grow up' – (yes at 41 I still don't feel like I'm grown up! Scary thought isn't it.) Truth is at the best of times I have a short attention span with most things. I'm one of those people who dives head long into things finds out everything I can about it – I mean, I devour knowledge, I should have been a professional university student really. The upside to this habit is I am damn good at trivia – seriously you want me on your trivia night team. The downside is that once I've learned what I can and it's exhausted my interest I'm on to the next thing, not exactly a good quality when it comes to a 'career.' Sure I've got lots of things that I'm good at but that doesn't mean I want to do them day in and day out.
I've been doing tons of reading about finding your dream job/career and the gurus out there all recommend to start where you are – what are you doing now that you love. Hmm let me see well – I'm a mum and at the moment I'm doing a lot of laundry, picking up toys and wiping bottoms. As much as I love my kids and wouldn't change being at home with them – doing laundry and wiping bottoms is definitely not my passion. So digging a bit deeper might be needed. If I'm really honest with myself and look back over my life there are a few things I've done pretty consistently and that I love to do even after all these years.
1) Cooking – baking to be more precise! Experimenting in the kitchen is fun to me – however cooking dinner every night is not fun – yeah I know, I'm weird but I love cooking new things and playing with recipes to see if I can make them better. Cooking for the family tribe because I have to, doesn't equate to fun most days. Hence why having a business revolving around quick, easy, delicious meals was a good fit!
2) Helping others succeed. When I write that down it seems a bit cheezy – but it really is something that makes me feel good and I like doing it. Doesn't matter if it's my kids, my husband or family or friends, can even be a total stranger – if I've helped someone reach their goal, even if it's in the smallest way it makes my heart sing. Often I do this by sharing all the seemingly random things I've learned over the years about business, parenting, cooking or whatever! Again having a business where I can help others build up their own biz is right up my alley!
3) Technology – I am a technology geek. I am unabashedly proud of it too! I love a good 'toy', I love that I can talk to people all over the world through my computer. I love that I have a world of knowledge at the tips of my fingers and I REALLY love that I can work from home through technology and be with my kids at the same time.
So those are my top 3 'passions' – my next step is embracing these things and turning them into my 'dream' business – because here is the thing – one of my biggest passions is running my own business, being my own boss and turning ideas into successes. Yes I am an entrepreneur at heart – heaven help me I come from a long line of them! This is probably a good thing too especially when I like being at home with my kids – don't get me wrong there are definitely plenty of times I wish I could go to work and mix with other adults and well let's face it just have a break from the kiddos. But to have to go to work everyday, nah not for me! That's where having a work from home business is perfect for me because I still get to mix with adults and be there for my kids – to me it's the best of both worlds!
Now it's all well and good me prattling on about what I'm thinking about, but what I've found is bouncing ideas off others works much better than going around in circles in your own head so what I'd love to know is what you do you think? Are you still a work in progress? Do you want to own and run your own business or do you already do that? What are your passions? Have you turned them into your career or business? I'd love to hear your stories and dreams too. Please leave a comment below or on my Facebook page I'd love to learn from you

Wittes and other moderate-minded experts of diverse political views appear to agree on the need for policy makers to find a middle course between the Bush and Amnesty International extremes. The best hope for moving toward a decent detainee policy is for the winner of the 2008 presidential election, and the 111th Congress, to look to such experts for guidance.
These experts include (among others) Jack Goldsmith of Harvard Law School, one of the few high-level Bush Justice Department officials handling terrorism issues to leave with his reputation intact; former Clinton Justice Department officials including Walter Dellinger of Duke Law School and Neal Katyal of Georgetown Law School; Elisa Massimino, Washington director of Human Rights First; Kenneth Anderson of American University Washington College of Law; and Curtis Bradley of Duke Law School, who served in the Bush State Department.
Then there is Bill Clinton, who would make a perfect chairman for a national commission on detainee treatment. In a little-noticed National Public Radio interview last fall, the former president outlined a sensible approach to the hypothetical interrogation of a captured terrorist mastermind who is thought to know the plans for an imminent attack:
"You don't need blanket advance approval for blanket torture. They can draw a statute much more narrowly, which would permit the president to make a finding ... if they really believe ... the only way they can get a reliable piece of information is to beat it out of someone or put a drug in their body to talk it out of him, then they can present it to the Foreign Intelligence [Surveillance] Court, or some other court, just under the same circumstances we do with wiretaps. Post facto.... But I think if you go around passing laws that legitimize a violation of the Geneva Convention and institutionalize what happened at Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo, we're going to be in real trouble."
Even the wisest experts on these issues disagree about many things—most of all, perhaps, about whether federal courts should have the power (denied by the Military Commissions Act) to hear full-fledged habeas corpus challenges to the military's detention or treatment of non-Americans captured overseas. But many of them appear to agree about some big things:
"Deferential [judicial] review of anemic procedures yielding decisions with enormous consequences for the liberty of individuals captured under murky circumstances," as the forthcoming Wittes article asserts, "is not a recipe either for justice or for public confidence in American prosecution of the war on terror in the long run."

5 Signs You'll Keep Your New Year's Resolutions
by Toby Amidor in Small Steps, January 16, 2013The new year brings New Year's resolutions. If you're making the same ones year after year and they're not sticking, it's time to rethink your strategy. But if you've been successful so far, these 5 signs will let you know that the resolution you made this year is a promise you can keep.
#1: You Made a Specific Resolution
In order to become healthier, you want to make specific and achievable short-term goals. These goals become habits over time. Instead of making a resolution that you'll lose 50 pounds this year, make a more specific goal on how you will achieve it. Some specific goals include:
- I will eat 5 servings of vegetables 3 days a week.
- I will go to Zumba class twice every week.
- I will switch from white to brown rice.
- I will make time for breakfast every day.
Here are more examples of small goals that pave the way to bigger changes.
#2: You've Set a Realistic Resolution
In order to set attainable goals, ask yourself the following questions:
- Is there anything that will stand in my way?
- Do I feel capable of achieving my set goal?
- Am I motivated or excited to perform the tasks needed to achieve your goal?
#3: You've Set Reasonable Time Frames
I have heard the following goal countless times: I will hit the gym for 1 hour each day. After about 2 to 3 weeks life continues and you start going to the gym 4 days a week, then 3, then 2 and if you make it once a month it's a miracle. Instead, take a good hard look at your work schedule, family commitments, and personal life and set a time frame that you can really stick to.
#4: You've Make Yourself Accountable
Whispering a promise to yourself is one thing, writing it down is a whole other ballgame. Once it's on paper and hanging on your bathroom mirror or refrigerator door, it acts as a reminder of a promise you made yourself.
The website Stickk.com is an online contract you can make. The website was developed by Yale University economists who tested the effectiveness of making commitment contracts through field research. You can even up the stakes by putting some money on the line—and donating it if you fail to achieve your goal.
#5: You're Tracking Your Progress
Monitoring and measuring your progress helps give you a visual on how you're doing. You can keep a food diary or there are many online or smartphone apps that can help you keep track such as My Fitness Pal, Spark People, Fit Day, Lose It! and USDA's Choose My Plate.
If you're already started making any of the following excuses, chances are you'll never stick to your resolution—and January isn't even over!
- I'll go to the gym or start my healthy weight loss plan tomorrow.
- I'm too tired.
- I don't feel well.
- I have too much work to do.
It's never too late to re-make your resolutions so they're do-able.
TELL US: What's your New Year's resolution and have you kept it so far?

I am in love with this body wash. It smells so fresh and so clean. I know that the company markets this product for men, but it smells so good! This really gets you squeaky clean and the fresh scent lasts a really long time. I rinses clean and doesn't leave a residue. This body wash its perfect for summer because its light and the scent is so refreshing. It does smell a little manly and it can be a little drying so I use a lotion after using this. This is definitely my new favorite. I never thought I'd use a men's body wash but I love this stuff and I will continue to purchase this.
Love this stuff!! Smells so good, makes me feel fresh and clean. Don't quilte get the original scent of Irish Spring, though. I repurchase often.
UPDATE: I've now replaced this with J&J's Vanilla Oatmeal Baby Wash for winter. Its super gentle, smells delicious, and leaves my skin baby soft and moisturized. I'll probably switch back to this during the summer months since its so refreshing.
I first tried the original version and loved it, so thought I'd pick this one up next. Its the newest version. Its a pearly, dark blue that lathers to a thick, white lather. Smells almost exactly like the original bar and liquid soap versions, but maybe a little softer. Leaves me feeling clean without any stickiness, and leaves my skin feeling very comfortable. Comes in an 18oz plastic bottle with a flip top and sells for about $5. Sits on the top so you don't have to mess with it much to get it out of the bottle. Wish it came in a pump version.
INGREDIENTS: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Decyl Glucoside, Fragrance, Glycol Distearate, Laureth 4, DMDM Hydantoin, Polyquaternium 7, Citric Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, External D&C Violet 2, FD&C Blue 1

We hung out sunday night. kissed goodnight. he texted me after and we back-and-forthed for a bit.
We hung out on Monday night. (i texted him to initiate the hangout) Kissed a lot.
On Tuesday, the only contact was I "liked" his new facebook profile picture.
Wednesday, today. I wrote on his wall, said "so my girlfriend asked to see more pictures of your face and now she TOTALLY wants to make you her sex slave..."
To which he replied: "hahaha ohh man."
KEEPING IN MIND THAT HE'S VERY SHY! Do I:
a) text him tomorrow afternoon: "happy thanksgiving, elliot. say hey to your evil puppy for me."
b) text him friday: "so, am I always going to have to text you first, too? =P"
c) wait until he texts me (possibly indefinitely, probably till Monday when he gets home)
d) other: specify in comments.
Well I would go for choice a I suppose. This seems like it would make way for a casual friendly conversation hopefully. How do you feel about that option?
Definitely choice a! You want to talk to him..so don't make it a chore analyzing when you should do what you want, do what you want when you want :)
I cast my vote for A. Looks like it's unanimous :P
B seems incorrect, as he texted you first after you made out, no?

It seems weird that your showing her pictures of the person you're having an affair with.
it's not cheating- we're in an open relationship.

Good grief, that is some real impressive display of technique… Are you sure this was airbrushed or crafted out of glass?
It's hard to not be taken aback by this tribute to this charming princess, especially when this could have easily belonged in a church built to honour Disney characters.
What really draws (cough, lame pun, move on) my attention here is the magnificent sunset and array of colours in the background, and in addition to that, the exquisite looks of both Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty's outfit just cannot be denied. They have such an incredible display of lavenders and dark purples that it immediately demands your attention.
Topped off with gnarled branches, and you've got a recipe for a stunning tribute. There is simply too much to like to list here, so I'll just go ahead and give this a spot in my "Honorary Class" deviations, whatever that means to you. A truly amazing work of art, and well deserving of a Daily Deviation. Bravo, mate!
