Approaching any big project can be a daunting and complex experience. Over on her blog, author Elizabeth Spann Craig gives us nine quick tips for tackling big projects, ensuring that we finish what we set out to do.
Show up. Religiously. It's the only way to get through a project.
Avoid perfectionism….First drafts aren't perfect either. But aren't they better than the blank page?
Craig highlights the importance of finishing what you set-out to do before looking for ways to improve or change the concept. She calls this avoiding tangents:
Avoid going off on tangents….Wait until the project itself is done. For me, it works best for writing, too–I don't edit/fix stuff until the first draft is completely done.
In her list, Craig also mentions the value of remembering the small victories as you go, emphasizing how motivating it can be to reflect on even the smallest of steps. She writes:
Fight the overwhelm….Remember how far we've come since the start of our project. If this is a home improvement or organizing project, it helps to take a picture of the "before," just to remind us. If its writing–remember that blank page the first words we once wrote down.
It's easy to get overwhelmed with big projects, no matter what type they are. To cope, consider reading Craig's brief advice and remember to set goals, work with a timer, avoid perfectionism, skip tangents (for now), and more.
Read all of the advice right here.
Consider that between the ages of 6 and 60, an average woman will spend roughly 287 days rifling through her wardrobe. It's a time-consuming process for men too; they clock in at approximately 13 minutes per day (women average 10 minutes/day). If you accept that time and energy are finite resources, choosing what to wear each day seems to be counterproductive. If you want to reduce your decision fatigue by simplifying this process, you're not alone. As a matter of fact, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Albert Einstein, and Barack Obama have been known wear the same outfit every day. A Sweden-based art director, Matilda Kahl, has become an overnight sensation for wearing the same outfit every day for a year. In an interview with Adweek, she reflects on the power of her work uniform:
Adweek: What was your main motivation behind adopting a work uniform of a white blouse, black trousers and a black blazer?
Kahl: The main motivation was that I understood how much time and energy I'd save if I could just take out the clothing aspect of my working days. We have so many great creative challenges at Saatchi that I'd rather spend my time on that, not picking out a new outfit every morning.
Adweek: Would you say the work uniform has changed your productivity at work?
Kahl: Absolutely. It's not until you don't have to care about clothing anymore that you realize how much energy it actually took up before. Before I had a uniform, I reevaluated my outfit throughout the day, wondering if what I was wearing really did a good job of reflecting me as the creative I want to be. Now, when I have an outfit that I once picked out and that I'm happy with, I can lay all my good energy on my work instead. To only be judged on my creative ability at work and not how well I dress really is a real confidence boost.
This is hardly an original idea. Consider that men have been wearing suits since the 1920s. A capsule wardrobe takes the idea of wearing the same thing every day and gives you the freedom to express yourself. It's about what makes you feel confident. Gaining confidence with how you dress will influence your day – it will impact your prospects, your personality and the way the world perceives you.
But for all its benefits, you might have to overcome some initial resistance to kickstart your capsule wardrobe. In a piece for Harper's Bazaar, Kahl talks about some of the questions she had to confront:
More distant co-workers have even asked if I was in some sort of sect—religious or otherwise…Other than the burning, "why?" the most common question I get is whether or not it gets boring in the long run. It's a reasonable question that probably has a lot to do with the fact that office style is commonly informal in my industry. We have been given the opportunity to reflect our true personalities in everything we wear, every day—to extol our "creative spirits" in everything we do. As if all of that wasn't enough, let's add to the mix the extensive pressure on women to uphold a flawless appearance. Here, we ultimately end up with an unscalable mountain of high expectations. No wonder many people walk around feeling that the world owns them, when it really should be the other way around.
As creative professionals, you should feel empowered to adopt a work uniform. Once you remove outfit-picking decisions from your morning, you free up more time and mental energy to focus on the success of your work.
Often when we set out to better ourselves in our chosen creative field, the first place we turn is to our core skillset. If I am a painter, I will learn a new painting technique. If I am a designer, I will learn a new rendering program. We are taught that the better we are at our job, the further we will go in our career. However, this can only take us so far. Yes, your skills are very important. For example: if you have an amazing idea, but cannot communicate it through your sketching abilities, the idea will be lost. Yet, what good are your sketching abilities if you have no ideas to share? For that you need to develop your thinking, as IDEO partner Michael Hendrix explains in a How Magazine interview:
There are so many avenues. There are lots of online training sites that are great for learning new software — if you need to learn Adobe Premiere so you can create animations, for example. But that doesn't change your thinking. When it comes to these more complex skills, you have to start thinking entrepreneurially. You're starting to ask why something exists in the world, how it might live, how people might interact with it. And by asking those questions, you find you have to learn new things — like psychology, or basic financial skills, or how the supply chain works.
Entrepreneurs are required to have a general knowledge in everything. Unlike a large corporation, they do not have the luxury to assign tasks to specific departments as they are running entire businesses themselves. They still have a greater knowledge in their specific area of expertise, but they also know about human resourcing, raising money, and marketing. IDEO partner Tom Kelley describes how the same idea can be applied to expand your thinking and make you a "T-shaped" person.
At IDEO we like T-shaped people who have a strong core of expertise, but combine it with a genuine respect for, interest in, and preferably experience with, other areas as well… A T-shaped person might be an engineer who does fine art in their spare time, is interested in anthropology and maybe took some under-graduate courses in it, or some other esoteric combination of interests. T-shaped people have more attachment points. They are more likely to make a contribution to a team, and build on the ideas of others.
While Kelley encourages an 'esoteric' combination of interests, Hendrix references the designers Charles and Ray Eames who expanded into other design fields. Their core expertise was based in architecture, but they also designed furniture, produced films, invented toys, and created graphics. Hendrix himself is well-rounded in the fields of design, cultural studies, linguistics, psychology, and cognition. This multifaceted design is a combination of being both a specialist and a generalist. It allows you to expand your thinking as you have more 'attachment points,' as Kelley notes. These are points of connection between different industries and ways of thinking that will lead to new ideas. Ideas which you can then communicate with your skills.

No matter your field, you undoubtedly have a home-base somewhere on the Internet where you describe your products or services, be they under the umbrella of your personal brand, your company, or an organization you work for. Whether it's a website, blog, e-newsletter, or Twitter feed, there's surely some corner of the web in which you're trying to sell something, even if it's just your resume.
In all those cases, writing strong online copy is key. You can't convince a reader of anything (buying your e-book, reaching out with a job interview, or sharing your article on social media) without effective, compelling writing. Writer and graphic designer James Greig has some interesting insight into the mental shift required to write great online copy. Namely, stop making it about you. Rather, focus the lens on your "customer," whatever that means in your work.
What superpowers does your product give people? Have a read of this opening paragraph from the description of a new cycling jacket:
"We've gone all out to produce the finest waterproof in cycling. We've re-thought how to keep you comfortable. When the rain comes and doesn't stop, this is the jacket. We have spent the greatest amount of R&D time ever on the Gills Jacket, and we're hugely proud of it."
Count them: four mentions of "we"… and only one of "you". This is the copywriting equivalent of shouting "Me! Me! Me!" Yes, it's reassuring to know how much R&D time has been put into the jacket. But the reader is more interested in how the jacket will make him feel, not how the company who made it feels about it. I see this problem with a lot of copy on the web… It's back-to-front. So how do we fix it?
Basecamp's Jason Fried nailed it with this 3-sentence blog post: "Most copywriting on the web sucks because it's written for the writer, not for the reader. Write for the reader. That is all." Improving your copywriting really is this simple: construct your sentences with the emphasis on "you" rather than "I" or "we". Make it about your reader, not yourself.
This isn't just about being selfless ("the customer's always right," and all that). When you keep the reader firmly fixed in your mind, whether that's your site visitor, Twitter follower, client, buyer, or whomever, you start thinking about the implicit reasons for people to engage with your work, rather than the explicit ones. That makes for a much stronger sell. As Greig writes,
The first iPod wasn't marketed as "a 5GB MP3 player" (boring/techy) but as "1,000 songs in your pocket" (wow/that's cool).
Whenever you're writing something online that you want to have some sort of actionable effect, engage with the problems and desires of the people who you'd like to be reading what you're writing. Selling a WordPress template targeted at lifestyle bloggers who don't know how to code? Think, and write, about how simple the template is to install and how it'll showcase their photography and juice their traffic stats. Marketing your services as a social media consultant for small businesses? Focus your pitch on how much time you'll save your clients so they can focus on their sales strategy. You'll give yourself an instant advantage over "me"-focused competitors.
Your awesome work deserves eyeballs online. You just have to sprinkle it with a little copywriting gold dust.
It's What You Can Contribute from Andreessen Horowitz on Vimeo.
Ben Horowitz, cofounder and partner of famed venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, delivered the commencement address at his alma mater Columbia University last month and offered up some pretty unconventional career advice. The gist: don't follow your passion.
If you poll a thousand people who are successful, they'll all say that they love what they do. And so the broad conclusion of the world is that if you do what you love, then you'll be successful. That might be true. But it also might be the case that if you're successful, you love what you do. So which one is it?
Horowitz broke down a few reasons why blindly following your passion in hopes of finding success and fulfillment can be inadvisable:
Passions are hard to prioritize. Are you more passionate about math, or engineering? Are you more passionate about history, or literature? Are you more passionate about video games, or K-Pop? On the other hand, what are you good at? That's a much easier thing to figure out.
Passions change. What you're passionate about at 21 is not necessarily what you're going to be passionate about at 40.
You're not necessarily good at your passion. Has anybody ever watched American Idol? Just because you love singing doesn't mean you should be a professional singer.
Following your passion is a very me-centered view of the world. What you take out of the world over time, be it money, cars, stuff, accolades, is much less important than what you put into the world.
And so my recommendation would be, follow your contribution; find the thing that you're great at. Put that into the world. Contribute to others. Help the world be better. That is the thing to follow.
His advice is a variation on the classic Venn diagram for business success, which aims to identify what business idea satisfies the following three requirements: what you're good at, what you love, and what there's market demand for. Passion is just one third of that equation. Honing in on what you feel fired up about is important in internally searching for a career path that will sustain you financially and intellectually, yes; but it shouldn't override factors like what you're the most talented at and what there's a need for in the world.
You know that saying "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life"? Here's the thing: what makes you love what you do isn't just a deep-seated passion for the work. It's also a certainty that what you're doing is making an impact and is a positive contribution to the planet.
It can feel uncomfortable to show unfinished or freshly-made work to others, but that kind of peer-review research plays an important role in the creative process. It's a way to get our work out in front of those who will actually see and use it, regardless of whether that means asking a friend or family member for their opinions or conducting a professionally-run lab study with a one-way mirror.
Unfortunately we often mistakenly believe that feedback can only prove or disprove immutable truths about the work. We present our ideas to a few people, then take the opinions we garner (good or bad) to be the gospel about what it is we've created. If those we show the work to don't like it, we throw it away. If they do like it, we consider that a sign we've done a good job and are finished.
In actuality, this is a constricting perspective to have, because design research isn't meant to be a science. When it comes to creative endeavors, like design or writing, the value of any type of feedback is less about defining the hard truths and more about gathering meaning from what it is we create. As Jon Freach writes in The Atlantic:
If we don't study the world, we don't always know how or what to create…Design research is not 'a science' and is not necessarily 'scientific.' It gives (us) and (our) clients a much more nuanced understanding of the people for whom (we) design while providing knowledge that addresses some of the most fundamental questions we face throughout the process.
Freach goes on to explain that what we should expect from research is for it to help us identify patterns in the work we do as well as the behaviors of those who encounter our work. Paying attention to how someone interacts with what you've built, or if they reference similar things they've seen or experienced, are good ways to draw-out patterns we can then either build-off of or try to deviate from. He also believes that it should be used to better understand the relationships between what we do and who it's for. Not only should we pay attention to how people react to our work, but what their reaction means for them: will they remember our work, and does our work make something in their lives easier or more entertaining? French writes that the best feedback works by "providing knowledge that addresses some of the most fundamental questions we face throughout the process."
In order to get that knowledge and discover new ideas for our work, we must always seek simply to "ask simple questions about obvious things [that] can lead to unexpected answers and rich insights."
Your work isn't meant to always live in your computer or notebook. But you won't really know that unless you take the work and put it out into the world.
Empathy is a competency that allows you to read people…This isn't as easy as it seems. Sometimes, the smartest resisters often look like supporters, but they're not supportive at all. They're smart, sneaky idea-killers.
Carefully reading people will help you understand the major, and often hidden, conflicts in the group. Hint: These conflicts probably have nothing to do with the topics or decisions being made at the meeting. It is far more likely to be linked to very human dynamics like who is allowed to influence whom: headquarters vs. the field; expats vs. local nationals; and power dynamics between men and women, and among people of various races.
Empathy lets you "see" and manage these power dynamics. Many of us would like to think that these dynamics — and office politics, in general — are beneath us, unimportant, or just for those Machiavellian folks we all dislike. Realistically, though, power is hugely important in groups because it is the real currency in most organizations. And it plays out in meetings. Learning to read how the flow of power is moving and shifting can help you lead the meeting — and everything else.
Empathy is what separates a good leader from a great leader. Great leaders need empathy in order to show their people that they care for their wants, needs, and development. They are key to organizations largely because they are able to effectively nurture relationships – and the most empathetic of leaders recognize the signs of abuse of power (and prevent it from manifesting) well in advance.
The ability to walk in other people's shoes, to understand their perspectives (not just rationally, but also emotionally) begins with self-awareness. If you're not sure where you fit on the Empathy-scale, Lou Solomon, author of Say Something Real, suggests asking yourself the following:
- Are you keeping the small, inconvenient promises that fall outside of the spotlight?
- Do you invite others into the spotlight?
- Do you isolate yourself in the decision-making process? Do the decisions you're making reflect what you truly value?
- Do you admit your mistakes?
- Are you the same person at work, at home and in the spotlight?
- Do you tell yourself there are exceptions or different rules for people like you?
Operationalizing something as complex as empathy can hard, especially since you've been told your whole life to "treat people how you want to be treated." As well-intentioned as The Golden Rule is, it's fundamental flaw is that it assumes alignment. To bring empathy into your life, focus instead on treating people how they want to be treated. In doing so, you automatically ascertain what the other person values in a relationship or interaction. And you do so without question or judgement. This doesn't mean making painful compromises or giving in to unreasonable requests.
To truly breath life into your organization and dramatically improve your chances of success, you must be present, aware and empathetic. Meeting people where they are instead of assuming that's where you are.

Very few cars can match the style of the Corvettes that came with chrome bumpers. From the frank, wide-eyed front end of the late-'50s C1s to the muscular smugness of the early sharks, they embody the central tension between elegance and raw power that has always defined America's sports car. Unfortunately, for those accustomed to modern performance vehicles, driving one of these vintage Vettes in "spirited" fashion can be a truly terrifying experience. Indeed, given the heart-pounding fear that comes from combining razor-thin tires with sudden rear-wheel camber shifts while cornering, perhaps it's no wonder Chevy long called itself "The Heartbeat of America."
There are modifications that help, but they never quite fix the problem. In 2004, I was in the throes of modifying a 1971 Chevy Corvette 454 convertible to make it more amenable to the sinuous roads of the North Georgia mountains where I lived, and had only mixed success. Poly bushings and hard springs helped, but they also revealed massive frame flex-until I put in a heavier rear sway bar, going over an uneven road would pop the rear of the convertible top up out of its latches.
It was around that time that I was wandering around Knoxville's Corvette Expo and noticed a tent exhibiting Corvette frames. Built by a company named Street Shop, they looked like C2 and C3 frames, only they weren't-they had C4 suspension . . . and rack-and-pinion steering . . . and Dana 44s. And they had my attention.
Laying The Framework Like many great ideas that seem to suddenly burst on the scene, Street Shop is the result of several years' labor by a committed entrepreneur-in this case, Tray Walden. Walden, an Alabama native with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science from Auburn (and a matching MBA to go with it), was working at a CD-manufacturing plant when he made the decision to leave the corporate world in 2000. "I've been gone almost as long as I was there," he tells me about going into business for himself, "and I haven't missed it for a day." And so it was that he was in a position to create and sell the aftermarket frame that he first showed at Carlisle in 2001.
The idea for the frame, however, goes much further back. An inveterate racer, Walden had been taught to weld in his teenage years, and had been building frames and rollcages for drag cars even while working at the CD company. What he had not done, however, was anything for a Vette, even though he owned two. It hit him one day when he was standing in his garage between his black '67 coupe and his matching black '94.
"You know," he mused, turning first to the midyear, then to the C4, "if I could have that, and make it drive like that, I'd be pretty happy." After combining his engineering experience with his ability to fabricate what he designed, he had the first frame. Intended as a one-off for his own use, the frame fit under his '67 without modification and accommodated C4 suspension and brake parts.
Enter Jim Hornaday, a Corvette aficionado par excellence who lived nearby. Hornaday managed to talk Tray into displaying the frame at Carlisle. Several orders, hundreds of frames, and three patents later, Street Shop is alive and well, and still making the latest incarnation of that frame, along with several more-advanced variants. Available for '53 through '82 Vettes, all of the Street Shop frames start as a pair of mandrel-bent framerails made from 4x2x0.120-inch tubing. From there, though, almost anything is possible.

Final Score: UCLA 49, Rice 24
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The Jim Mora era at UCLA got off to a great
start as the Bruins defeated the Rice Owls, 49-24, in the season opener at
Rice Stadium.
Running back Johnathan Franklin finished with 214 rushing yards and three
touchdowns for UCLA (1-0), falling just shy of his career-high of 216 yards
set against Washington State in 2010. Redshirt freshman quarterback Brett
Hundley was impressive in his first start, finishing with 202 passing yards,
68 rushing yards and three total touchdowns. Hundley hit on 21-of-28 passes
and was picked off once.
For Rice (0-1), Taylor McHargue completed 17-of-28 passes for 172 yards with
two touchdowns and an interception. He also led the team in rushing, adding 95
yards and a score on the ground. Sam McGuffie paced all players with eight
catches for 63 yards.
After the Bruins forced Rice to punt on its first possession, they wasted no
time putting points on the board. On their first offensive snap of the season,
Hundley took off on an 72-yard touchdown run. A blocked extra-point off the
foot of Ka'imi Fairbairn kept the UCLA lead at 6-0.
On the ensuing Rice drive, a McHargue pass was intercepted by Sheldon Price,
which helped set up an 11-yard touchdown pass from Hundley to Jerry Johnson,
making the score 12-0 following yet another blocked PAT.
Following a three-and-out by the Owls, the Bruins struck with another huge
play. This time it was Franklin ripping off a 74-yard touchdown run and, after
the first successful PAT of the night, UCLA took a 19-0 lead a mere six
minutes into the contest.
Rice responded with a six-play, 80-yard drive, which was capped off by an
eight-yard touchdown reception by Luke Wilson from McHargue, to cut its
deficit to 19-7 with 6:08 remaining in the first quarter.
A 53-yard field goal from Chris Boswell with 2:18 left in the first quarter
brought the Owls to within nine, 19-10.
Rice's comeback attempt continued early in the second quarter. On a drive
extended thanks to a muffed punt by UCLA, McHargue rushed in for a one-yard
score to make it 19-17 at the 13:08 mark.
UCLA responded with an 11-play, 71-yard drive, but it had to settle for a 27-
yard field goal by Devin Lucien to extend its lead to 22-17 with under 10
minutes to play in the half.
The Owls had a chance to respond with a field goal on the next drive, but
Boswell missed a 43-yard attempt.
The Bruins made Rice pay for the miscue as Franklin ripped off yet another
long touchdown run (78 yards) to bring their lead back to double-digits,
29-17. In the process, Franklin became the first player in school history to
have two rushes of at least 72 yards in one game.
A 40-yard run by McHargue on the following Owls drive helped set up a three-
yard touchdown pass to McGuffie to bring the deficit to just five, 29-24,
with under two minutes before the break.
Following an interception of Hundley, Rice was on the move to try and add more
points before intermission, but a Turner Petersen fumble was picked up by
Damien Holmes who returned it 44 yards for a touchdown, giving the Bruins a
35-24 lead heading into halftime.
After a frantic first 30 minutes of the game, the first score of the second
half didn't come until 12:29 left in the fourth quarter when Hundley connected
with Joseph Fauria on a four-yard touchdown pass, making the score 41-24
following a failed two-point conversion attempt.
UCLA put the game out of reach with 22-yard Franklin touchdown run midway
through the fourth period.
UCLA out-gained Rice 646 yards to 358. The 49 points is the most the Bruins
have scored since putting up 51 in a win over Oregon State on Oct. 22, 2005.
Rice's Cameron Nwosu set an NCAA record with three blocked PATs in the game.

A 23-year-old Fort Walton Beach High School graduate died Thursday morning after he was struck by a subway train in New York City.
Bobby LeGrand Guin was waiting for the train about 5:15 a.m. to head back to his home there when the accident occurred, according to his grandmother Eileen Guin, who lives in Florosa.
Media reports have stated that Guin jumped onto the tracks to retrieve some cash and was struck by the northbound "A" train, but authorities have told the family the investigation is ongoing and that they aren't certain how he ended up on the tracks.
"There is no indication that he jumped onto the tracks," Eileen Guin said. " … What went viral on the news is unbelievable … There wasn't a real eye-witness and he wasn't one to carry cash on him. He used a credit card for everything."
Guin moved to New York, where some of his friends were living, last November, she said.
"He was thinking he might stay a year," Eileen Guin said. "It was a good place to make contacts."
He earned a bachelor's degree in business research from Florida State University and was looking for work in that field. In the meantime, he landed a job at a restaurant in the Lincoln Center and was doing well, she said.
"He was just enjoying himself," Eileen Guin said.
Guin's mother and younger brother visited him just last week, and said he was extremely cautious in the subways.
Guin had spent his entire life in the Fort Walton Beach area, and attended Northwest Florida State College before heading to FSU.
He enjoyed skateboarding and listening to music, and he was always an excellent student, Eileen Guin said.
Stephanie Thetford, who taught Guin's pre-calculus and AP calculus classes at Fort Walton Beach, remembered him as a kind and smart student.
"He always had a smile on his face, just happy-go-lucky," Thetford said. "Everybody liked him."

Not even to mention the Peruvian restaurants or numerous Colombian and Venezuelan diners with their famous corn pancake arepas.
If come mealtime you're not sure what kind of food you want to eat, we recommend you walk along these diner havens:
Calle Uruguay: on this strip located between Balboa Avenue and 50th Street you can find a wide variety of restaurants for all tastes, as well as bars and nightclubs with varying ambiences.
Old Town: all kinds of restaurants have outdoor seating on the now-bohemian streets of the former capital or tucked inside old colonial buildings that will allow you to imagine what the city was once like.
Amador Causeway: from the bars and restaurants serving up global flavors on the islands at the end of the strip you will have a great view of Panama City, the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, and the Bridge of the Americas.
Crossing over the Bridge of the Americas will take you to to the beaches and mountains in what we call "The Interior" or countryside provinces. Along the Pan-American Highway you will find roadside stands dishing up traditional and international fare, particularly Colombian and Venezuelan.

Many a temple and sacred site in eastern Asia is guarded by the presence of stone sculptures carved in the likeness of a powerful, lion-like dog. They often flank the main doorways of temples and other places of importance to prevent evil spirits and bad luck from entering. These muscular statues are also a sign of strength and are believed to bring good luck to all who walk past their fierce gaze. They are designed to make a big impression and this is exactly why Foo Dog sculptures are an excellent addition to the entranceway of a backyard, home, and business.
Garden guests will feel a sense of awe and excitement as they walk past sculptures of the Giant Foo Dog of the Forbidden City. Inspired by the massive Foo Dogs that guard the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, the fierce dogs in these statues also wear power orbs and are set on top of regal, ornamental plinths. You can also put one or two at the front door of your house and business to make guests feel as if they are walking into a royal, mysterious palace.
While the Giant Foo Dog sculpture also works as powerful interior decor, the smaller (yet no less exquisite) Chinese Guardian Lion Foo Dog statues look breathtaking when put on display inside the home, office, or business.

My dumbest moment (one of them, at least)
I'm quite sure I posted it before, but maybe it was on another forum.
Years ago I wanted to make a microwave soup. So I opened the cup, loosely put the lid back on as per instructions, put the thing into the microwave oven and set it to 4 or 5 minutes. When it was ready I took it out and was surprised that the cup was all wrinkled and a funny smell came from it. I removed the lid, looked into it and realized that putting water into the stuff was essential, even for an instant soup.

I have an assignment due tomorrow which is using Access 2010 for their base program. I have Office 2013 and in my other classes, I have turned in in Word documents, Excel spreadsheets with downward compatibility turned on and this has not posed a problem.
In saving the file in Access 2013, I cannot see where to make it downward compatible.
Does anyone know if it is possible to open a 2013 Access saved database with defaults into Access 2010? (I don't have 2010 to test, just 2013).

Organised religions say - Damn! We hadn't thought of that. We don't want to encourage that sort of thinking or we'll lose all our supporters. If we don't have any supporters then we're buggered.
So they come up with the idea that taking your own life is a sin and if you do it then you will be thrown into the pits of fire for all eternity.

Because of the stigma and very often the secrecy in which suicides are carried out it is shocking and hurtful for those the person leaves behind as it can be seen as a form of rejection and abandonment as well as desperation. This is the true reasoning behind the stand that religious bodies put up against suicide because it does literally devastate families and the larger social circle, not least because it often involves some extreme form of violence to ensure success.

Pendant Cross
Ethiopian Crosses
Christianity most likely arrived in Ethiopia in the first century. The conversion of King Ezana in 330 c.e. led to its official acceptance and the minting of coins bearing one of the earliest uses of the cross as a Christian symbol. Although the silver pendant crosses in the Museum's collection are from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, their forms have a considerably longer history, as the much older copper, wood, and iron crosses here demonstrate.
Hand crosses, which are used by priests, are either hand-held or suspended from a cord around the neck. They are kissed by the faithful to receive a blessing. Processional crosses are carried on long poles in religious processions. Prayer staffs are used to mark rhythms during sacred dances and as supports to lean on while standing for long hours during Orthodox church services. Together, all of these crosses are emblems of the Ethiopian Orthodox church's ongoing authority.

I installed the latest Firefox 22 nightly and when I open links in a modern app thats pinned to the desktop it tries to open in modern Firefox, I want it to open in desktop firefox.
How do i stop it.
Use the (desktop) Default Programs app and make any browser except Firefox Nightly your default browser then Nightly will always open as a desktop app. If you keep Nightly as your Default browser it will still open any link shortcuts in Desktop mode it will only automatically open imbedded links in Modern UI. If you want to run Nightly as a desktop app just put a link on the desktop. I recommend you don't put Nightly on your task bar because it seems a litte tempremental especially after an update. I am guessing there are still issues with the Nightly install? Remember Firefox Nightly is alpha code and is never going to be as stable as the current release, Stay away from Start Page links as far as possible and everything should be as you want it?
Edit: Find and install the (unofficial) 64 bit version of Firefox Nightly, it doesn't support Modern UI at all and is as good if not better than the 32 bit version.

My kids loved this soup. I tout it had the texture of cream of wheat but had a rich flavor, and tasted like cauliflower and cheese (what a shock!) but I thought it was a little bland. Without an immersion blender I probably wouldn't have made it....I love immersion blenders!

Made this today and it was probably the best soup I have ever had! I treated it like potato soup & served with a small dollop of sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onion, & bacon bits on top. My husband couldn't tell the difference.YUM!!

Pas-de-Calais is a department in northern France. Its name is the French language equivalent of the Strait of Dover, which it borders.
Saxon colonization into the region from the 5th to the 8th centuries likely extended the linguistic border somewhat south and west so that by the 9th century most inhabitants north of the line between Béthune and Berck spoke a dialect of Middle Dutch, while the inhabitants to the south spoke Picard, a variety of Romance dialects.
This linguistic border is still evident today in the place names (toponyms) and family names (patronyms) of the region. Beginning in the 9th century, the linguistic border began a steady move to north and the east, and by the end of the 15th century Romance dialects had totally displaced the Dutch.
Pas-de-Calais is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from parts of the former provinces of Calaisis, formerly English, Boulonnais, Ponthieu and Artois, this last formerly part of the Spanish empire.
Some of the costliest battles of World War I were fought here. The Vimy Memorial commemorates the Battle of Vimy Ridge and is Canada's most important memorial to its fallen soldiers.
Pas-de-Calais was also the target of Operation Fortitude during World War II, which was an Allied plan to deceive the Germans that the invasion of Europe at D-Day was to occur here, rather than in Normandy.
Its principal towns are, on the coast, Calais and Boulogne-sur-Mer, and in Artois, Lens, Liévin, Arras, and Saint-Omer.
The principal rivers are the following:
Pas-de-Calais is one of the most heavily populated departments of France, and yet it has no large cities. Calais has only about 80,000 inhabitants, followed closely by Boulogne-sur-Mer and Arras. The remaining population is primarily concentrated along the border with the department of Nord in the mining district, where a string of small towns constitutes an urban area with a population of about 1.2 million. The center and south of the department are more rural, but still quite heavily populated, with many villages and small towns.
Although the department saw some of the heaviest fighting of World War I, its population rebounded quickly after both world wars. However, many of the mining towns have seen dramatic decreases in population, some up to half of their population.
