Random factoid: Since it's 2015 that means Mechanized Warfare has been around for 10 years this year!
I'm mostly active on Twitter and I've been slacking on keeping this site active and up-to-date. But mostly nothing new going on with this project until I can get a new computer (I had 3 remixes in the works but lost all data when computer "crashed" during the fall). So if I can get a new computer, I'll be able to produce more music without having to worry about this one failing on me again. And that's kind of what I'm waiting for...

Apple to add Chinese search engine Baidu to iOS - reportPlans to add support for Baidu, China's largest search engine, could be unveiled by Apple as soon as next week's Worldwide Developers Conference, according to a new report.
Citing two people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Apple plans to add Baidu as a search option for iPhones in China. The addition is part of an effort to broaden services and increase sales in the country, which has quickly become an important part of Apple's continued growth.
Baidu is responsible for about 80 percent of Internet searches in China. It is expected that Google will remain the default choice on the iPhone, but users in China will now have the option to make Baidu the default if they sho choose.
The addition of Bing would be similar to a change Apple made in 2010, when iOS 4 added Microsoft Bing as a new option for the default search engine on iPhone and iPad. Users can also select Yahoo for their search results, in addition to Google, the default option.
Rumors first cropped up in March of this year that Apple planned to change the default iPhone search engine from Google to Baidu. An executive with the Chinese search company said that Baidu had "reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement" with Apple.
Apple's upcoming OS X Mountain Lion Mac operating system will feature support for a variety of Chinese Internet services, including Safari search using Baidu. Other services that will be added are Mail, Contact and Calendar support for QQ, 163, and 126, Sheet SHaring support for video services Youku and Tudou; and Twitter-like microblogging support for Sina weibo.
China has become a region of focus for Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook, who said in January that the nation's demand for the Apple products, particularly the iPhone, has been "staggering."
On Topic: iPhone
- BlackBerry sells just 1.6M smartphones in Q4 as software, services grow
- JP Morgan predicts Apple will stick with LCD, not OLED, for 'iPhone 7'

First Minister Alex Salmond has said tomorrow's referendum is Scotland's "opportunity of a lifetime."
In his final speech ahead of the vote, Salmond said the reason the referendum was going ahead is because the Westminster politicians "thought they had it in the bag."
"They thought all they had to do was agree to see off Scotland and then it wouldn't matter, and therefore we can have no assurance that we would ever have such a chance again," he said.
"This is our opportunity of a lifetime and we must seize it with both hands".

Don't miss the regional premiere of the "lost classic", London Wall, by John Van Druten.
London Wall explores the tumultuous lives and love affairs of the women employed as shorthand typists in a busy solicitor's office in 1930's London. Pat Milligan (McKenna DuBose), a naïve young typist, falls for the charms of a predatory junior lawyer. Watching with concern is the firm's senior secretary, her too-timid suitor and several others in the office. Presiding over all is Mr. Walker, gamely trying to navigate a new kind of office where men and women must work side by side.
Directed by Village Rep Producing Artistic Director Keely Enright. London Wall boasts a stellar cast of Charleston's finest performers including Theatre Charleston Award winners Becca Anderson, Samille Basler, Robbie Thomas, Jeff Jordan, Bronson Taylor, Lara Allred and Sarah Callahan.
London Wall plays January 23 - February 14 at the Woolfe Street Playhouse. Click here to purchase tickets.

Comment posted Council election candidates' contacts by Ken MacColl.
Surely ability is of more importance than age!
The possessor of the sharpest intellect that I encounter regularly is in his early eighties.He has no ambitions to be a councillor but the idea that he might be barred because of his age is bizarre.
As one 21 year old said, "When I was fifteen I was convinced that my father was a silly old fool. By the time I reached 23 I was astounded how much wisdom he had acquired in the previous eight years."
Ken MacColl also commented
- I would not normally comment upon the "Like/Dislike" facility on this site but , for the two who have indicated "dislike" on my item above, I am intrigued to learn what the objection is. Do they really think that the action by the Tories in this instance is defensible and, if they do, why not have the courtesy to tell us why?
- There is a Tory candidate in the Highland Council area -the Ward is in Sutherland- who is 87 years old and is simply standing because he has been persuaded by Tory HQ that this might "spoil" the SNP vote. This gent lives in Drumnadrochit, 60 miles outside the Ward, and will not be campaigning or bothering with election literature.
How many other Tory candidates are in this category?
And here's a thought! What if he is successful?
Recent comments by Ken MacColl
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
Never got to Vienna, Graeme, although I get the impression that there is a capital much closer to us that still carries delusions of empirical superiority exemplified by the idea that we are better together but we should not get notions above our station.
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
This odd "wheel of (mis) Fortune" appeared first in the columns of the March Scots Independent late in February but attracted little attention at the time from our Unionist Press although it was also published in The National. News seems to come late to some parts of Argyll!
The wheel and its recommendations come from ScotLab activist Robert MacNeil from Tranent in East Lothian, billed as an office bearer in his local branch and of East Lothian CA and advisor to Scottish Labour. His particular reading suggests that in Argyll & Bute the most effective challenger to the SNP was the Tory candidate and you can deduce some of his other assessments from their placement on the wheel. Both Alan Reid and Mary Galraith's chances were dismissed out of hand! The predictions were quickly rubbished by his own party colleagues and indeed Mr MacNeil's standing within his party was also denied.
Can it be that an element of panic is emerging?
- Lib Dem Yellow Box budget stunt degrades House of Commons
Alan Reid, MP, did indeed attend the TTIP hustings in Oban and thereby increased identifiable LibDem support at the event to two. The downside here is that he probably reduced the attendance at Clegg's rally in Aberdeen on Friday night by a significant proportion as well.
This event was organised by a young lady from Lochaber and showed a rare initiative in bringing to public attention a topic that UK,EU and USA authorities appear to wish to negotiate and deliver without any consultative reference to electors. I feel sure that my radical relatives of past generations would have felt serious concern about the way that secretive cabals were dividing up the trade cake and certainly would not have shared the feelings of a political activist present whose only concern appeared to be a wholly spurious suggestion that the publicity for the meeting might be illegal. A better illustration of the lurch to the right on the part of the Scottish (?) Labour Party could hardly be constructed.
- Ashdown salutes Salmond as a hands-on politician
We learned today that Lord Ashdown -firmly in the benefits for life brigade you will see – has written about a dozen books since he disappeared beneath the political horizon. How many of those have made any impact at all remains less clear.
I used to visit this site on a regular basis before the anonymous commentators took it over and at that time there were some serious exchanges on topics of relevance to Argyll but, sad to say, it has now become the blog equivalent of the worst type of UK tabloid with the cleverest(?) contributions coming from those who have not the bottle to add their names to their posts.
- Parliamentary Labour Party moves to take control of any post-election coalitions
The lead story here is surely a bit short on detail though it poses some interesting questions. Does this policy decision rest with the presently elected Scottish Labour MPs or just with those who survive the night of 7th May? Have they hired a big hall or a more modest location? Will the public and the media be admitted?

Some of MS services work for a month after the draft failed, it'll then block you until you pay for the month you skipped and then it'll charge you for the next month.
why are you complaining about this on a forum before you even ask the company that has the issue though ? makes no sense. Call the MS support or use one of their chat or mail options and they'll tell you why and how to fix it.
I'm sorry but instantly going to a third party forum to complain is a bit. bit like complaining about an issue and then not having even tried to figure out what was wrong much less try to fix it.

I'm currently working with jQuery-Tabs to simulate a multi-window inputmask. Thus the tabs are variable and users are allowed to add and remove them and the content in those tabs is always the same input-form.
Now I need to select via jQuery some of those fields. The problem is, that I would need to find out which tab is currently selected and use this info in the selector.
Is there a way to identify the currently selected Tab and use this info in a jQuery selector so I can manipulate the right fields?
Iterating through the tabs and checking properties like 'hidden' is not really an option, because it slows down the application significantly.

The "low volatility anomaly," as it's called, is real. Stocks with a history of low volatility usually avoid the boom-and-bust trading of other sectors, helping them outperform in the long run. But "boring" is experiencing a mini-boom this year: And when low-volatility stocks become hot, by definition they're on their way to becoming something else.
What's hot: The three traditional defensive sectors of utilities, consumer staples, and health care are the top-performing groups in a pretty strong year for the S&P 500.

Both stocks are part of the iShares and PowerShares exchange-traded funds.
QUANTS SEE OTHER SIGNS that the trend is stretched. Research firm Markit ran data for Barron's last week on the components of the two ETFs mentioned above. They found that the underlying stocks' risk-adjusted returns have been higher than the S&P 500's for three straight years. Ned Davis Research analyst Neil Leeson notes that the PowerShares fund has not only delivered on the promise of falling more softly in a selloff; it is keeping up with S&P 500's advances on good days and even spent a short period during February rising as the rest of the index was falling. "There comes a point when there are enough investors pushing low-volatility stocks higher that they're no longer 'low volatility,' " says Leeson, who expects these funds to cool off. "The characteristics have changed."
The PowerShares fund, whose methodology tracks the last 12 months' least-volatile stocks, may be more vulnerable to a shift in sentiment. Nearly two-thirds of its holdings are in high-performing utilities (31%), consumer staples (24%), and health care (9%). The iShares fund may be more insulated if boring suddenly becomes boring again, in part because it leans less heavily on those groups. The iShares fund also could get a buffer from its efforts to limit constituents' correlation with one another, with some unexpected holdings like Yahoo! YHOO -0.3325942350332594% Yahoo! Inc.

The good news for fund investors is that overcrowded stocks will get booted from these ETFs when the indexes rebalance in favor of steadier hands. The bigger trend, of course, could be just like the search for yield: The more investors pile in, the fewer attractive options there are anywhere, in this case meaning fewer "boring" stocks across the entire market.
The other piece of good news: The long-term trend of outperformance for staid stocks is very much intact. Fund managers and aggressive investors show few signs that they'll cease crowding "high beta" stocks in search of a quick win, which is the source of the low-volatility anomaly to begin with.

Another Ben-Gurion Sir, – You report that Prime Minister Netanyahu mentioned two
principles enshrined by Menachem Begin – supremacy of the rule of law and that
there can be no civil war under any circumstances."He knew that a civil
war was the end of the Jewish state," Netanyahu said ("Ulpana on his mind, PM
invokes Begin at 'Altalena' memorial," June 11).In fact, by allowing
Yitzhak Rabin, on the orders of David Ben-Gurion, to fire on the Irgun arms ship
Altalena without retaliation, Begin took away the right to preserve life. Those
who died bringing much-needed arms to the nascent state died for nothing,
because today we see that the same pattern is expected of us.Netanyahu
did not follow the High Court ruling on Ulpana because it was the law – there
was no ruling on the legality of the Jewish homes. He brought in Kadima to
enable him to destroy these homes while ignoring all illegal Arab building
throughout our land.His so-called sweetener for the Ulpana residents is
that he will build more homes. But he has also made clear they will only be in
those parts he is expecting to keep after his so called peace process is
enforced.Our prime minister continues the humiliation by begging the
terrorist Mahmoud Abbas to talk to him so that he can hand over Judea and
Samaria. Everything he does is with one eye on Obama to see if it is
acceptable.Ben-Gurion was a dictator, just as Netanyahu has shown
himself to be, and like Ben-Gurion our current prime minister brooks no
interference in his rule, no matter how it must be enforced. This, more than
Begin and the volunteers on the Altalena defending themselves, could be the end
of the Jewish state.EDITH OGNALL Netanya A breather for us Sir, – In
your editorial "The Syrian conundrum" (June 11) it is clear that there is a lot
of handwringing about the bloodshed in Syria. That is admirable from a moral
point of view, but from a practical point of view the chaos in Syria and other
Islamic countries has for Israel been a boon.The fact is, there is no
truly democratic and pro-Western faction in any Islamic country that is
significant enough to actually take over that country. All the blood and
treasure squandered in Iraq and Afghanistan testify to that.The only
real way forward for the region is for its native inhabitants to wake up and
realize that their adherence to an ethic of hatred and domination will only
bring ruin. Meanwhile, the infighting among those who would gladly train their
sights on Israel or other foreign targets gives the rest of us a
breather.DAVID KATCOFF Jericho, Vermont Answered before Sir, – Susan
Hattis Rolef ("Who's afraid of Richard Wagner?," Comment & Features, June
11) somewhat naively asks, "Why was Wagner, who died in 1883, singled out among
all the German composers, many of whom were known for their anti-Semitism?" The
answer has been provided countless times before, which is why it is rather
amazing that she doesn't even mention it.More than others, Wagner penned
and published vicious anti-Semitic essays, including "Das Judenthum in der
Musik," first under a pseudonym in 1850, and again in 1869 under his own name,
as well as "What is German?" in 1878. In addition, Hitler openly admired Wagner
and much of the latter's anti-Jewish polemic was used in Nazi
propaganda.One may still argue whether we should separate the man from
his music, but the ban in Israel on Wagner's operas and compositions is indeed
based on his open and public Jewhatred and his being part of the inspiration for
Hitler and Nazi racist theory. To ignore this fact is not only disingenuous, it
is downright historical revisionism.GERSHON HARRIS Hatzor Haglilit Hill
of beans Sir, – Kevin Zdiara ("When delegitimization is met with silence,"
Comment & Features, June 11) has every right to get lathered up about the
crisis of delegitimization of the State of Israel and to decry the danger of
being silent about it. But even though he has every right, he is dead
wrong.Israel is not being delegitimized.Even if there were
independent boycotts against us that were organized in a hundred countries it
would still not amount to delegitimization.The weapon of delegitimizing
a country is something that can only be wielded by governments, and it's people
who are responsible for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement,
not governments.While Zdiara advocates protest and expressions of
condemnation against those who seek to boycott Israel, the most strategic policy
is silence.The expression "silence is golden" means silence has a
tremendous psychological value. It is worth its weight in psychological gold. It
denotes self-confidence and steadfastness.Nothing that vile, boycott-
advocating bigots can say makes any more difference than a hill of
beans.YONATAN SILVERMAN Tel Aviv Europe's dilemma Sir, – A sure-fire way
to fail to solve a problem is to misdiagnose the cause. This is precisely what
Charles S. Maier does ("Europe needs a German Marshall plan," Comment &
Features, June 11).After World War II Europe was in ruins. There was an
acute shortage of everything and a huge pent-up demand. What was lacking was the
machinery, tools and organization for production.The Marshall Plan was a
brilliant concept that provided the capital to kick-start a European economic
revival.Today, much of Europe is in shambles because of excessive debt –
a predictable result of the false premise that one could operate a common
currency without a common government.No amount of money in additional
loans can possibly solve the problem caused by this basic structural
defect.There are only two possible solutions: One is the abandonment of
the euro, that is, a return to the status quo ante, with each country having its
own currency. The alternative is a political union of the European countries
involving the abdication of national sovereignty to a government of
Europe.I do not believe that a single country containing such diverse
populations, with different languages and different cultures, could survive. On
the other hand, a return to individual currencies would be chaotic, but would
work.What is certain is that each pitiful effort to delay the inevitable
will make the eventual collapse more painful.STEPHEN S. COHEN Ma'aleh
Adumim Department's reputation Sir, – An unfortunate exchange that took place in
one of seven sessions of an international workshop conducted recently by the
Department of Middle East Studies of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev received
some publicity due to a column by Seth J.Frantzman ("Incitement U:
Confronting hate at Israel's academy," Terra Incognita, June 7) and a response
to that column ("Unfair portrayal," Letters, June 11).I am proud to
serve as chairperson of BGU's Department of Middle East Studies, which for the
past 17 years has hosted hundreds of Israeli and international scholars, who
have always been deeply impressed by the pluralistic, open-minded and diverse
academic environment of our conferences and workshops.Throughout the
workshop in question, attended by a large number of international scholars,
participants engaged in profound critical debates in an air of mutual respect. I
am certain that one incident, which I indeed regret, does not blemish our
excellent reputation in the field.DANIELLA TALMON-HELLER Beersheba

What's above your fridge?
I'm trying to figure out what to put above our fridge when we remodel.
Ideally, I'd have a cabinet with vertical tray dividers. But, that requires a side panel to the floor, which I refuse. (I need access to the calendar, etc., on the side of my fridge.)
I'm no fan of the really deep wall cabinets, either. It's hard to get stuff out of the back.
I'm actually thinking of putting a standard 12" deep wall cabinet above the fridge. But, build a hidden soffit behind it so it's flush with the tall panty beside the fridge.
Or, I might just keep open space above the fridge and continue to store my baskets there.
So, what do you have above your fridge? Pictures, please, if you have them.
We struggled with this, as well. Our old kitchen had the fridge standing free next to the base cabinets, and a 12" cabinet above it. The before kitchen:
I knew I wanted to get rid of the uppers on the rest of that wall so had to deal with the fridge. I have storage for trays/sheets elsewhere, so the storage above the fridge, if I opted for it, would be for larger things like cake platter, cake carrier, large plastic/metal bowls, seldom-used small appliances (little crock pot, etc.). I knew I didn't want a 12" cab up there -- not useful enough. I could either:
1) leave a freestanding fridge with no cabinet above (and have to order the new fridge with stainless sides to avoid the two-tone look).
2) leave a freestanding steel-sided fridge and hang a shallow or deep cabinet above it (we used Ikea cabs, which hang from a rear rail and don't require the side panels). This meant a 24" upper cabinet would be set back a bit from the front of the fridge, or else any blocking used to build it forward would be visible. And it would require a side panel on the cabinet.
3) drop a panel next to the fridge and use a deep cabinet above. This would allow us to build out the 24" cabinet forward, to bring it flush to the fridge. But Ikea didn't have a deep enough/tall enough panel, so we would have had to come up with a solution for that.
4) our eventual solution, which has been fabulous. We built a wall to create a fridge alcove. The blocking to pull the cabinet forward isn't visible. The wall is about 5" thick, so we lost that amount in base cabinets on the other side. But it wasn't a noticeable loss functionally and gained us a lot aesthetically:
You can mount thin cork boards inside your cupboard to serve as bulletin boards to replace the frig door or side. I used those 3M Command sticky things that hold up pictures but can be removed later without damaging the surface.
I have a 24" deep cupboard with one horizontal shelf over the frig where I store large-diameter serving pieces. Stacking the bowls and platters allows me to store more of them than in a vertically divided cupboard. My pans and trays are in a lower tray cupboard. I can reach the lower shelf on tiptoe and the upper shelf with a stool.
Why do you have to run the side panel to the floor in order to have your vertical tray storage cabinet above the fridge? No matter what type of cabinet you put up there, you can have a side panel that stops at the bottom of the cabinet.
You can bump out a 12" cabinet with a soffit or other, and if you ran the side panel all the way back, no one will know it's not 24" deep... But I prefer to block out from inside the cabinet, with a box or something, then you have the option to use as much of it as you like.
Over one fridge, we have 24" deep storage where I store an extra fridge shelf and all of our vases...Things I don't need often. (We have our tray storage in a base cabinet, where I can access them and see them easily and quickly.)
Over the fridge and freezer set, I have our cookbooks. The top section is actually 24" deep and I just keep the books at the front, and the bottom shelf is a 12" deep section that's attached to the deeper one above. Our fridge and freezer aren't very tall, and this means we can remove one shelf if we ever want to put in taller units.
I don't have a photo of the inside of this fridge cabinet:
And here are the cookbook shelves over the set:
I'm not quite sure why you couldn't put whatever is currently on the side of the fridge onto the side panel instead. I would think it would look funny to have the cabinet hanging in air without something going to the ground. Even if the cabinets is only 12" deep it's going to be sticking out at least 24" from the wall. Having the fridge enclosed on both sides is just a much nicer look in my opinion. Otherwise if you really want the fridge completely freestanding, then put nothing above it.
I went with a 24" upper and put one shelf in. Under the shelf are sheet cake pans and the cardboard for cakes and stuff. Above the shelf I divided with Rubbermaid dividers and put in all the cookie sheets, trays, and odd things like the cake box. Several of those things extend back longer than 12" I can usually reach the cookie sheets and muffin tins without a step stool, but if a taller person is present, I ask them to reach stuff.
We had the 12" uppers before over the fridge and had a traditional upper and lower to the left with a landing spot counter. In that configuration, the top of the fridge ended up as the repository for cereal boxes and general junk. It looked like junk. The little bit of counter also collected junk since it wasn't actually a prep area. Now it looks like this:
The cabinet to the left is a broom closet on the top and 2 drawers below.
A totally useless cabinet that I need a ladder to reach. One of the first things that is going is the huge refrigerator. We are getting counter-depth that will allow access to this wasted space OR we are tearing out the cabinet and going with a tall Liebherr.
The cab has a lift-up door. We store the Julien over-sink strainer (big!), a tray for carrying stuff outside when we eat on the deck, spare Wolf Range knobs (black ones and more red ones), water filters for the fridge (you save $ when you buy multiples, so I usually have a pile of 'em), oven broiler pan (rarely used), cheapo "granite-ware" roasting pan and covered roaster.... It's a good place to store stuff I don't need too often.
The cab above my fridge is full depth & taller than usual because of the 10+' height. 1/3 of the width is dedicated to vertical tray dividers & the other 2/3 has ROTS for things that I seldom use. Even though I need to use a ladder for most of the items on the ROTS, it's far more convenient than the usual stationary shelves.
Our fridge faces the island so DH wanted a tv set put into the cabinet above the fridge. The doors nest back. Works great for him as he likes to watch the am news while he has his breakfast at the island. The kitchen is open to the family room so the TV over the fridge is actually slaved off the family room TV...no need to try to watch 2 different programs in what is essentially the same space.
Linelle--my Coconut and your sweetie could be twins!
I was planning on a setup exactly like a2gemini with tray storage in a cab as deep as the fridge, but I switched to a built-in fridge at the last minute. With my shorty ceilings, I don't have any room for a cab above now.
Sorry, no photos, but we have a TV up there.
Tray storage is over the wall oven, so lower and more accesable.
Over the fridge we have a custom cabinet that's the depth of the fridge. The front half is an open bookshelf like box (in fact I intend to convert it to bookcases should we tire of the TV there.). It's on the end of the cabinet run, so the back half is accessed by a standard cabinet door. We installed a metal mesh drawer set from Container Store in there and use it like an overhead "junk drawer". Got the duct tape, some screwdrivers, neighbor's keys, flower cutting shears, etc. yes, it's above my head, but the drawers come all the way out. You grab what you want and slide them back into the rack.
Deep cabinets, one shelf each (sorry no photos).
The top sections on each side are full of our better china. It's handy for parties but out of the way for ordinary days.
The bottom sections have two uses. In the back are vases--I get them down periodically but not all the time, so I don't mind that it's tricky to reach them. The front are cereals-- we use them all the time, they're easy to access as the cabinets come all the way to the front of the fridge, and they're lightweight so safe to lift down from overhead.
andreak100: It's the one surface in the kitchen (other than the floor) he's allowed without being yelled at. Although I'm relenting about occasional lounging on the peninsula.
jerzeegirl, that's where my liquor is too. I can barely reach it on my tippy toes (tipsy toes).
Those of you who have things like tray dividers above your fridge - are any of you short? I'm trying to decide if I will regret putting baking pants/muffin pants/cookie sheets up there. The new fridge will be 70inches tall, and I'm only 5 feet tall. The current plan is to put all that stuff in a lower cab roll out tray divider, but I'm wondering if I should consider putting them above the fridge. I tried doing a mock up with my current fridge, but it's hard to tell. Plus, even if I can reach the trays to pull them out, I surely don't think I could reach the handle on the cabinet to open it (without a stepstool!)
oliver, yes, I anticipate needing a step stool to reach above my fridge. But, this won't bother me too much because I'll store seldom-used items up there. And liquor. Liquor will go up there. Depending on the day, that may or may not be seldom-used. ;-)
Oliver, I put the tray dividers above my fridge and I can just reach the trays and pans and I am 5'4". If something slides towards the back of the cabinet at all, I have to get out the stool.
Speaking of which, found a little 9" Simplify Folding Step Stool at Home Goods this week. Fits right next to my trash under my sink and makes it easy for me to pull out and get the things on the top shelves of my cabinet that I can't reach!
We built a full depth pull out shelf in the cabinet above the fridge. I keep big stock pots and other, oversized, seldom used pots there.
I am 5' 2'', and when the shelf is pulled out, I can reach almost everything in the tray without problem. A few items in the back center require a stepstool, but I almost never need them.
Here is the shelf pulled partly out. Notice that one can reach from the front and from the side.
Works very well for me. These big space hogs would not be welcome tenants in more accessible spaces, and smaller items up here would soon end up stuffed back and unreachable.
Currently a cabinet we can no longer open since we had to replace the fridge a couple months ago. We measured to make sure the fridge would fit, but forgot about the hinges that stick up in front of the cabinet doors. OOPS. It's OK, this is the "before" kitchen. It's all going away in the spring.

Our Endless Numbered Days
It always seems to surprise readers that writers don't have a huge amount of say in the covers of their books.
Our Endless Numbered Days: An Excerpt
This morning I found a black-and-white photograph of my father at the back of the bureau drawer. He didn't look like a liar.

Crab Wood
She pointed out sticks for me to pick up. The sticks needed to be long, but not too long; thick, but not too thick; and straight, without leaves. It was August in England, and although we'd had a fine summer, it had been raining all day and the sticks were muddy. I picked them up without complaining. My daughter didn't speak much, even though the idea that we should recreate the US cover of my novel had been her suggestion. Still, I was happy to be spending time with her, because she is seventeen and I don't get to do that very often any more.

Joe Tex
I grew up indiscriminately loving all the songs that came on the radio, but it was the fact of the radio itself, the little box on the floor by my bed, that brought the music to life and made it a kind of magic for me.

Julia Elliott and Jeff VanderMeer in Conversation
Robots may search for love, but there's nothing wilder than human nature in this genre-bending short story collection from debut writer Elliott . . . This book will take you to places you never dreamed of going and aren't quite sure you want to stay, but you won't regret the journey. —Kirkus

Darcy Steinke and Elizabeth Gilbert in Conversation
"[Sister Golden Hair] absolutely dazzled me . . . a searingly accurate portrait of a time and a way of thinking—a moment in American history when gleeful abandon had decayed into regular old abandon, and when new cultural freedoms suddenly seemed more dangerous than intoxicating."

Sent Traveling
Plagued by doubt, I pick at my prose, searching for answers. If I keep scratching, the text will bleed. I stop writing. Though the novel is nearly done, a crucial element is missing and I am uncertain how to proceed.
An Interview with Martha Baillie, author of The Search for Heinrich Schlögel
"Baillie delivers a work of magical realism that captures the experience of postcolonial guilt…and gives voice to a silenced past."

Tonight I'll be standing in a room of people and, for all I know, the only thing they'll know about me is that I'm the woman wrote that one book, the one about getting kidnapped and raped by a man I used to love.

Find online courses made by experts from around the world.
Take your courses with you and learn anywhere, anytime.
Learn and practice real-world skills and achieve your goals.
Note: This course represents the trainer's experience with the Getting Things Done® methodology, and that they are not trained by, associated or affiliated with the David Allen Company.
According to Harvard University researchers Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert – "about 47 percent of people's waking hours are spent doing anything except being in the moment and focusing on the current activity…"
Another current research study shows that over the past 30 years, procrastination at least occasionally has quadrupled with a whopping 95% of those polled. Also 52% procrastinate regularly with 20% of all students saying they are chronic procrastinators.
This means you're not alone, but it's not good news either…
Too many a time do we read general solutions about how to focus our mind. However, we cannot truly tackle these problems until we look at you and how you tick. Want to learn how you can finally tackle both yourself and your habits by digging into your own brain?
There is really no 'one size fits all' solution until you can tackle YOURSELF.
That's right, and that's what we're going to do in this video training course.
Focus can be lost in many ways, and in this video training course you will learn how to focus your mind on how to get things done in relation to you and how you tick.
|Section 1: INTRODUCTION.
In this specific video, we'll kick start the video course with getting you in the right mindset so that the rest of the system will be easy to implement. You'll learn how the system works so that you can speed things up faster.
|Section 2: Getting Things Done!
In this specific video, you will learn more about who you are and how you tick so that you can begin tackle and improve yourself. What's the point of this? Well, did you know that the way you process data is different to the person sitting next to you?
Like I talked about in the previous video, people process data differently. Let me give you some examples. Some people think by gut and just go with the flow, and they tend to be scattered all over - at least when someone of a different personality looks in. They have sticky notes all over their desk. Then some people think by using their senses through gaining facts.
After you've gone through videos 1, 2, 3, and 4 - it's time to figure out your weaknesses which often lead to bad habits. You can only break your habits when you know more about your weaknesses in this area. Everyone has weaknesses and it's ok. Breaking them will help you regain your laser sharp focus, and help you complete things which often lead to success. And success can be in the shape or form of moving you closer to your end goal.
So now you understand who you are, and your bad habits. You're ready to change them and get the breakthrough you've been waiting for. We often spend time getting distracting especially while on the computer, and in this specific video, you'll be given a way to analyse how you spend your time.
So now you understand who you are, and your bad habits. You're ready to change them and get the breakthrough you've been waiting for. We often spend time getting distracting especially while on the computer, and in this specific video, you'll be given a way to analyze how you spend your time.
At this point you should really know who you are in terms of the way you tick, understand your bad habits and where you are spending the most time. It's time to break free from your bad habits! And that's what you'll learn in this specific video.
Video #6. How to Remind Yourself About Your Main Focus
Now this road isn't going to be easy - and no one usually breaks and stops their habits right away. As humans, we will often break our habits and go back to them. There are rare cases of people breaking their habits, however for the most part people will eventually go back into the state of distraction. So how do you remind yourself about your main focus so that you can get it done? That's what we'll cover in this specific video.</p>
It's too easy to set unrealistic goals - and because of this - we don't get things done. How do you set realistic goals? What is realistic to your friend or family member may not be realistic to you. Have you ever thought about that?
As I said in video #6, this road isn't going to be easy. You are going to eventually get back to your old habits. One way to combat this is having an accountability partner, or someone to make sure you are doing the right thing. But I will say that ultimately that person will quit being your accountability partner because they can't be accountable to themselves or they are too busy.

Roy Brown is a great instructor. His course gives bullet point clarity on the issues a person might face when focusing on one's goals, and gives clear and concise bullet point solutions on how to focus on over coming and achieving your goals. I have learned a lot. Thank You!
This course is excellent for all and specially for student community !
Understanding how our own personality works, and tapping into our own strengths, this is a relatively quick course to set our feet on the right path to accomplish the goals we set for ourselves and not get bogged down or lose focus. THe production quality was good, would have liked to had a bit more than an audio like more visual images - sample spreadsheet was good, the links to the website good. THe instructor was well prepared and the course well planned out.
I am very satisfied with this brief and clear class. It gave me some other perspective and good tools for tracking my time in efficient way. I recommend everyone who got a little extra time to check this course
I learned so much about myself and my current challenges and opportunities when it comes to becoming really productive. I think everybody should go through this at least once. The Syllabus is clear and 100% accurate you learn what the title of the lecture indicate. Thank you!
