And walking the long red carpet to the magnificent Grand Théâtre Lumière is a memory Squibb says she will never forget.
After too many uses of the adjective "amazing," the standout moments were few, but June Squibb definitely came out on top.

Here's a quick look at the NFL games for week 8:
0-7 Colts at 3-3 Titans
Indianapolis (+7┬Į); under 43┬Į
Look for the Colts to bounce back after last week's humiliation and keep it close. Tennessee is over rated in my opinion.
2-4 Jaguars at 4-3 Texans
Houston (-10); over 41┬Į
Jacksonville is ripe for a letdown after last week's upset, and I'm not a fan of teams having to play on the road after a Monday night game.
1-5 Vikings at 2-5 Panthers
Minnesota (-3┬Į); under 47
Not sold on the Carolina defense; look for Adrian Peterson to have a big day.
5-2 Saints at 0-6 Rams
St. Louis (+14┬Į); under 48┬Į
New Orleans does not play nearly as well on the road as they do at home, and a ripe for a bit of a letdown after last week.
1-5 Cardinals at 4-2 Ravens
Baltimore (-11); over 43
Ravens will be fired up, especially on offense after last week. Arizona is a notoriously bad team when playing on the east coast.
0-6 Dolphins at 4-2 Giants
Miami (+10┬Į); over 43
The Giants play down to their opponents and should win easily, but Miami covers the spread.
3-3 Redskins at 4-2 Bills
Buffalo (-4); under 47
Washington's defense is fine but their offensive line is decimated. Buffalo has made a huge step forward with their OL this year compared to last season.
5-2 Lions at 2-4 Broncos
Detroit (-3); over 43
The Lions are a young team that is for the first time having to face adversity after having tasted success. Denver's defense is bad, Willis McGahee is out with a broken hand, there's nobody for the quarterback to throw the ball to, the line can't block and they have tape on Tebow after his first start; Detroit's losing streak ends here.
5-1 Patriots at 5-2 Steelers
Pittsburgh (+3); under 52┬Į
There are plenty of reasons to go either way in this game, so I'll just settle with the home underdog – but I wouldn't put any money on either team. If anything I'm more confident in the under.
3-3 Browns at 5-1 49ers
San Francisco (+9); over 38┬Į
Another game I don't feel strongly about against the spread either way, but I do like the over in this one.
4-2 Bengals at 2-4 Seahawks
Cincinnati (-1┬Į); over 36┬Į
Again, I usually go with the home team when the visitor has to travel far but I'll make an exception in this case; I just don't believe Charlie Whitehurst can get it done against the Bengals defense.
3-3 Cowboys at 2-4 Eagles
Dallas (+3┬Į); under 48┬Į
Another game in which I'm much more confident in the under/over than the point spread. As we saw, the Dallas defense is legit. In the last four games they are giving up 19.5 point per game, and if it wasn't for Tony Romo blunders that number would be just 15.8 ppg.
4-2 Chargers at 3-3 Chiefs
San Diego (-3); over 44
Yes, the Chiefs are hot and Matt Cassel is healthy, but KC is facing San Diego at the wrong time. The Chargers are embarrased over that second half performance against the Jets and are back home, where I believe they will take care of business Monday night.
Three-team (9 points) teaser [3 units]:
Vikings-Panthers under 47
Saints-Rams over 44┬Į
Bengals-Seahawks over 31┬Į
3 units:
Lions -3 at Broncos
2 units:
Rams +14┬Į vs Saints
Cardinals-Ravens over 43
Dolphins +10┬Į vs Giants
Cowboys-Eagles under 48┬Į
1 unit:
Colts-Titans under 43┬Į
Texans -10 vs Jaguars
Vikings -3┬Į at Panthers
Vikings-Panthers under 47
Ravens -11 vs Cardinals
Dolphins-Giants over 43
Bills -4 vs Redskins
Pats-Steelers under 52┬Į
Browns-49ers over 38┬Į
Bengals -1┬Į at Seahawks
Chargers -3 at Chiefs

Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite A665D-S5175
Source: PC Mag
The Toshiba Satellite A665D-S5175 is a competent entry-level media center laptop that has a smart list of specs and a few clever features, but it doesn't hold up when measured against other laptops in the category. For better performance and a slightly better feature set—offering features like WiMax and WiDi—the Editors' Choice Sony VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ is a smarter choice, for less money.
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 01/31/2011
Rating: Total score: 60%
ATI Radeon HD 4200: Onboard graphics adapter (RS880M chipset) with UVD2 (PIP support) and DX 10.1 support (compared to the older HD 3200). Beware, possibly no 2D acelleration in Windows XP (as the HD3200).
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
P960: Slow clocked quad core CPU for mid size laptops (due to the 25 W TDP). Single threaded applications and games suffer from the low core speed.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.6 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.

The Weekly DBT Diary Card helps individuals record and manage their emotional intensity from zero to ten (with ten being the most extreme, and zero meaning essentially not present at all), in the morning, afternoon, and in the evening— while in the Women's Treatment Program (WTP) at McLean Hospital's Hill Center. They were exceedingly strict—thankfully—by way of their insistence that all patients fill in the diary cards and write in a daily mood journal (also very useful), and because keeping up a practice can be challenging when it is emotionally difficult and there is less time strictly dedicated to the betterment of one's mental health, it is too easy to slip up; to start forgetting to keep this practice up, especially if you run out of blank diary cards.
Since I push DBT like nobody's business, I thought it was only fair to make one of my own, and then realized how helpful it may be to share. I created one in Excel, which allows me to save the diary cards electronically, and easily look at the sum of each emotion's rating for the week—or longer—and in conjunction with my mood journal, I am able to observe which emotions rendered which outcome. The PDF is nice if you don't have Excel, or just prefer to go the pen and paper route (I often do).
Try to stick with it. It is so illuminating.

Amazon binds itself more tightly to the enterprise
By Paul Miller on April 8, 2015
Amazon Web Services (AWS) spent years being dismissive of anything that didn't run in an AWS data centre. Private and hybrid clouds were, we were repeatedly and vehemently told, 'false clouds.' There was no value in doing anything cloudy any way but the Amazon way. Non-cloudy workloads were, simply, anachronistic. Left alone, they'd get on with the […]

Private cloud silliness
By Paul Miller on May 23, 2014
Private clouds are real. It's well past time to grow up and accept this. Not every IT workload is most logically run in a cloud, now or in the future. But, for those workloads where cloud is advantageous, it seems likely that public cloud will eventually supplant both private cloud and hybrid cloud deployments. Public […]

Can the cloud do 'in perpetuity' ?
By Paul Miller on January 15, 2014
Cloud computing is great, right? As a way to get something up and running quickly, affordably, and with a minimum of fuss, it can rarely be beaten. But some of the most compelling attributes of the public cloud are best suited to ephemeral or (relatively!) short-term use cases. You can spin up a cloud server […]

The enterprise hybrid challenge is hidden in the cloud utility model's basic notion of hardware as software, whereas legacy application topology, […]

Survey lifts covers on Cloud Promiscuity: good thing, bad thing, or who cares?

The rationale for hybrid cloud (mixing a public cloud service like Amazon's with something running in your own data centre, colocation site or hosting facility) is reasonably well understood, but why might companies choose to use more […]

Europe Sets Course for Cloud
By John Taschek on January 31, 2012
There's a perception that cloud computing has become a "mature" technology, a perception shared by few but anticipated by most everyone else with the exception of those trying to preserve their self-interests. I don't blame them – each person inherently protects self-interests. They're wrong though. Cloud is not mature. It is evolving. The paradox is […]

The Buffalo Sabres Stampede Past Premiere Games
The Buffalo Sabres finished up their European tour, where they outscored their opponents by a score of 8-3, with a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings earlier today. This win concluded a trip where the Sabres easily beat their opponent in both of their contests.
The first contest of the season, against the Anaheim Ducks, was also won by the Sabres by a score of 4-2.
When the Sabres return to Buffalo they will come home with a 2-0 record, a power play unit that seems to have clicked quite well, and the feeling that they just beat two teams that are supposed to be some of the tougher teams in the league.
Through two games, Thomas Vanek leads the team with five points after scoring twice and adding three assists over the course of opening weekend. While newly named team captain, Jason Pomminvile, and rookie, Luke Adam, round out the top three in points with four a piece.
One major factor that has lead to the Sabres' early success has been the team's power play unit. The Sabres scored on three, Vanek twice against Anaheim and Drew Stafford once against Los Angeles, of eight chances in the two games played.
Along with the success on the man advantage, the Sabres have received support outside of the big names like Vanek and Pominville. Six different skaters, including Ville Leino and Paul Gaustad, found the back of the net and were apart of the 12 different skaters that recorded at least one point this weekend.
The Sabres seemed to be hungrier than both the Ducks and Kings, outplaying both teams in front of the net and finishing several rebounds. Along with solid offensive production the Sabres received stellar goal tending from Ryan Miller, who made 60 saves on 63 shots over the course of the two games.
The Sabres will return to The First Niagara Center for their home opener against the Carolina Hurricanes on October 14th, where they will look to continue their strong start.

Bjoern Werner Recovers Fumble That Falls Right Into His Lap in Florida-Florida State Matchup (Animation)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/24/12
Florida State defensive end Bjoern Werner is having himself quite a game against Florida. The junior German-born Seminole has sacked Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel three times in the battle for the Florida Cup, and he took part in a game-changing series of events that put Florida State up 17-13. Driskel was running a read option when signals got crossed between he and his running back Mike Gillislee. Somehow, during what should have been a handoff to Gillislee, the ball popped up in the air and into the waiting arms of Werner. Werner had read the option perfectly and was awaiting Driskel if he chose to hold onto the ball. Gillislee had nowhere to go either, and instead of either getting stopped for a loss, Werner gladly took it upon himself to catch the fumble and carry it eight yards towards the Gators end zone. Just three plays later, Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel scored from one yard out on a quarterback keeper. Watch Werner's recovery in the animation below.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - November 11, 1971):
Built in the first-quarter of the 18th century, this two-story wood frame structure is significant historically as the boyhood home of Samuel Huntington (1731-1736), a signer of the Declaration of Independence, President of the Continental Congress, and Governor of Connecticut. The main house remains largely unaltered and is a notable example of vernacular architecture.
The Huntington House is no longer endangered. Structural repairs have now been completed. The foundations were inspected and about 40% were rebuilt, and all sills were inspected and repaired/replaced as necessary. In addition, floor joists were repaired or replaced as needed, especially in the kitchen; new subfloors were installed in kitchen and NW room, salvaging original floor boards where possible; and the chimney was rebuilt. Exterior repairs, including clapboard repair, window restoration and painting, were completed in 2002 and the exterior of the structure is now weathertight. This landmark is now in satisfactory condition.

Baltimore's first Thai restaurant, appropriately named Thai Restaurant (3316 Greenmount Ave.), has a new owner, Thossaphol Mettawiparee. This is his first involvement with a Thai eatery; his restaurant background includes the now-closed Cafe des Artistes, Peerce's Plantation and Michael's Cafe. The former owner, Tussnee Singparu, had to sell the Thai for health reasons.
On the "if it ain't broke" theory, Mettawiparee is keeping the Thai's chef, with his own wife working as sous chef . The menu is the same, and he's using the former owner's recipes for sauces, but he says he's upgraded the ingredients. The kitchen is using breast of duck instead of whole duck in the duck curry, for instance, and jumbo shrimp. Look for a new decor, a new wine list, with wines chosen for their compatibility with spicy, multi-flavored Thai food, and new desserts.

America's Next Top Model
ANTM Cycle 19 Judge Kelly Cutrone on New Hottie Rob Evans: "He Offers the Magic"
At the premiere party for America's Next Top Model Cycle 19 on August 22 in New York City, we caught up with sophomore judge Kelly Cutrone. She was in excellent spirits and seemed to embody the new energy that the revamped ANTM has to offer.
Read on for Kelly's insight into hottie judge Rob Evans's "tough luck" background, and how impressed she was with the viewers' input while filming.
Wetpaint Entertainment: What did Rob Evans bring to the judging panel?
Kelly Cutrone: Duh. D-U-H. [Laughs] He's an amazing person. I'm 46, and I love Rob and I'm not into young guys. I'm not like a [Jennifer Lopez] kind of girl. He is someone who I kind of wanted to offer the torch of lineage, you know I'm really into tribal culture, and so when I moved here, there were really selfish people who were so nice to me. With him, I wanted to be a person who really supported him. He's an African guy who was born to a white Irish mother, raised on his own without a dad, became a prize fighter, and then became a supermodel who's on TV! So I was like, "Robbie, do you have a bank account? Do you have all these things?" So what he offers is this magic. He offers the magic. He's the kid, he's the tough luck— you know, he's the Annie. He's that kid. And two years ago, he was in the middle of nowhere, and two years later, he's on America's Next Top Model, he's opening Givenchy, he shoots Calvin Klein, he was in Jeremy Scot's show.
For the girls on the show, he was that touchpoint. You're not gonna get a touchpoint with Tyra [Banks], she came from South Central, but that was awhile ago, I came from upstate New York, they're not going to have that with me, they think I'm this queen of the blackness. So for Robbie, he represented something doable for them, their own transformation.
What was your reaction to the new viewer-based voting format?
The viewers were awesome! I kind of thought, it's kind of like when you call the bank and you get the recorded message. I thought they were so good that they might un-employ us.
Did you find yourself agreeing with their picks?
Yeah, they were right on, they were spot-on. My favorite couple was this straight couple who ate popsicles while they gave the reviews, which you'll see throughout the season.
We'll be watching!
Catch the premiere of America's Next Top Model Cycle 19: College Edition on Friday, August 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

Elise Alley, on 16 April 2014 - 03:38 PM, said:
This is the expected behavior. The first button the customer should see should be the "Buy Now" button. Then, once their registration or log in is complete, they should see the "Purchase" button. You can change the label of the "Purchase" button in the Stripe settings, Exchange > Add-ons > Stripe settings. So, you can change "Purchase" to something like "Pay with Credit Card" if that makes the next step seem more obvious.
That would help a lot -- I'll do it. Thank you.
Also Stripe-Add-on-related, I think: I would really like to be able to add a line of text to the Registration screen at the top. I would also really like to add a line of text to the screen that appears after they submit their registration info. Is there possibly a reasonable way to do either of these things?
Elise Alley, on 16 April 2014 - 03:38 PM, said:
As for the other issue, we're kind of moving away from Stripe. So can you please post your other questions back in the Exchange forum? And when you post there, can you please (always ) include a link to your site so I can take a look?
Most definitely, I will post that question there, and will send a URL by private message.
Thanks very much,

Once you learn this technique for making freezer paper stencils, you'll find a 101 ways to use them. It is a fast, inexpensive technique that allows you to make more detailed designs than traditional appliqueing will allow. Materials listed below are to go with our Snowflake Quilt. The pattern for that will be available later in the week.
Note: The paint can bleed through your fabric, so if you are stenciling a t-shirt or other clothing, make sure to place a heavy piece of paper inside your shirt so the paint does not bleed through from the front to the back.
12 Navy 9" Squares of Fabric
Freezer Paper
Snowflake Pattern Copied on Card stock at 120% (click here for tips on enlarging)
White Fabric Paint (preferably one that has you iron to set the color)
Sponge Stencil Brush
Small, Sharp Scissors
Wash your fabric! This step must not be skipped in order for the fabric paint to adhere. Due to the high contrast of Navy and White I also used a 1/4 cup of vinegar when washing the blues to help color set the fabric. Remove fabric promptly from the dryer to reduce/eliminate wrinkles. Iron if needed.
Cut out 24 9" Navy Squares (I used three different navy fabrics and cut out 4 from each print). Set aside 12 squares (2 from each print).
Cut out 12 8" squares of freezer paper. I cut mine as I would fabric with a rotary blade.
Lay 2 freezer paper squares on top of each other, wax to wax so they don't slip, and then carefully fold the squares in half. Repeat 5 more times.
Cut out Snowflake Pattern (enlarged 120%) on Card Stock. Fold the snowflake in half with one set of the mid points standing straight up/down.
Carefully center the pattern piece onto the folded freezer paper, aligning the folded sides together. Trace the snowflake half onto the folded freezer paper. Cut out the freezer paper... keeping the negative portion (ie the outside portion not the flake). Remember to save the center piece of the snowflake (the little hexagon)! I found that by folding the two square of freezer paper together wax to wax they did not slip and I was able to cut out two at a time. If you find this awkward you can do each one separately.
Once you have all your stencils cut out it is time to iron them onto your fabric squares. Set you iron to the hottest non-steam setting. Iron your fabric square to be sure it is smooth. Then center the freezer paper stencil onto your fabric square. Right side of fabric up, wax side of freezer paper down. You should have a half inch border around the stencil to help you align your stencil properly. Iron your stencil in place. Be sure to add your little hexagon piece (note keep the little hexagon rotated the same direction on all pieces... as shown it is parallel to the mid hexagon section of the snowflake body). Repeat 11 times.
Set up your paint work station. You will need a mat to keep your surface clean (a piece of freezer paper wax side up works well, uncurl it by rolling it in the opposite direction), your fabric paint in a flat bottom paint pallet (again you can use the freezer paper wax side up on a plate), a sponge stencil brush and a flat surface for your squares to dry on (I used basic cookie racks).
Dip the brush in the paint, dab it off on the side of the pallet to reduce excess paint, and apply to the fabric square in an even up and down motion. Do not slide the brush or you will pull up the edges of the stencil, be especially carefully around the center piece. Repeat until the entire snowflake has been covered in an even coat of paint. You can try different amounts of paint for different effects. I was happy with a single coat with some fabric visible through the paint, if you would prefer a more opaque design you can apply a second coat after the first coat dries.
Move the square to a drying rack, wipe down your work surface and continue with the next fabric square. Be sure to follow the directions on your fabric paint bottle for drying instructions. Ours required 24 hours of air drying time followed by ironing with a piece of fabric over the design to set the color. Once the paint is dry to the touch you can remove the freezer paper.
Now you are ready to begin on your quilt.
My first nephew was just born this weekend. Yay! They didn't tell us the sex of the baby so I didn't want to make a quilt until I knew. Going out today to get the supplies. I was thinking since he was born in the winter, having a winter theme would be neat. I'm going to stencil one of your snowflakes in the middle. Perfect timing. Thanks!
I have a question. I tried freezer paper stenciling but I kept getting paint on the stencil and the lines weren't nice like yours. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Psychology Press are delighted to announce their new, upcoming and key Industrial, Organizational and Work Psychology books. Browse our latest 2015 catalog to find out more.
Just Published "[This] is the only textbook I know of that presents multilevel regression modeling and structural equation modeling as part of a combined framework. … The revisions … prepare readers to understand both procedures and to conduct both types of analyses. … The changes make the book a better teaching tool. … It would be an excellent choice for students who take my multilevel regression modeling course … [and] … my design of experiments course." – Laura M. O'Dwyer, Boston College, USA
Just Published Intraindividual variability (IIV) of human development and behavior across the entire life-span is explored in this new book. Leading researchers summarize recent findings on the extent, role, and function of IIV in human development with a focus on how, when, and why individuals change over time. The latest theoretical, methodological, and technological advances are reviewed. The book explores the historical and theoretical background and challenges of IIV research along with its role and function in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
NEW Item response theory (IRT) has moved beyond the confines of educational measurement into assessment domains such as personality, psychopathology, and patient-reported outcomes. Classic and emerging IRT methods and applications that are revolutionizing psychological measurement, particularly for health assessments used to demonstrate treatment effectiveness, are reviewed in this new volume.
Just Published This book provides an up-to-date review of commonly undertaken methodological and statistical practices that are based partially in sound scientific rationale and partially in unfounded lore. Some examples of these "methodological urban legends" are characterized by manuscript critiques such as: (a) "your self-report measures suffer from common method bias"; (b) "your item-to-subject ratios are too low"; (c) "you can't generalize these findings to the real world"; or (d) "your effect sizes are too low."
This state-of-the-art volume provides insight into the recent developments in survey research. It covers topics like: survey modes and response effects, bio indicators and paradata, interviewer and survey error, mixed-mode panels, sensitive questions, conducting web surveys and access panels, coping with non-response, and handling missing data. The authors are leading scientists in the field, and discuss the latest methods and challenges with respect to these topics.
William D. Crano, Marilynn B. Brewer, and Andrew Lac, co-authors of Principles and Methods of Social Research, 3rd Edition, are the Psychology Press Authors of the Month for September 2014. William D. Crano is the Oskamp Distinguished Chair and Head of the Department of Psychology at Claremont Graduate University. Marilynn B. Brewer is Professor Emeritus from the Ohio State University and a Visiting Professor of Psychology at the University of New South Wales. Andrew Lac is Research Professor of Psychology at Claremont Graduate University.
This is the first book to demonstrate the application of power analysis to the newer more advanced statistical techniques that are increasingly used in the social and behavioral sciences. Both basic and advanced designs are covered. Readers are shown how to apply power analysis to techniques such as hierarchical linear modeling, meta-analysis, and structural equation modeling.
Reasoning research has long been associated with paper and pencil tasks in which peoples' reasoning skills are judged against established normative conventions. However, there has been a recent revolution in the range of techniques, empirical methods and paradigms used to examine reasoning behavior. New Approaches in Reasoning Research brings to the fore these new pioneering research methods and empirical findings.
This book reviews the latest techniques in exploratory data mining (EDM) for the analysis of data in the social and behavioral sciences to help researchers assess the predictive value of different combinations of variables in large data sets.

Dr. Gregory Tassey is Senior Economist at NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and author of several ground-breaking books, including The Economics of R&D Policy, Technology Infrastructure and Competitive Position, and The Technology Imperative, which have established government's role in creating science and technology policies that foster national economic competitiveness.
In his latest work, The Technology Imperative, Dr. Tassey describes the ongoing process of globalization of the technology-based economy, identifies the causes and impacts of technological underinvestment within national economies, explains how increasing global competition raises the costs of poor national policy choices, and assesses the national technology investment strategies of the United States vis-à-vis other leading industrialized countries.
At this ITIF Breakfast Forum, Dr. Tassey will present major findings from The Technology Imperative, including that:
- Globalization has changed the dynamics of technology-based competition, with one implication being more rapid shifts of market shares amongst national economies;
- Corporations have become increasingly global in their R&D, manufacturing, and marketing strategies (partnering as much with foreign-based companies as with domestic ones);
- As a result, competition among uniquely domestic industries across national economies has become an anachronism, and;
- These points collectively mean that competition among governments has become a critical factor in determining global market shares among nations. Global economic playing fields can be tipped by proactive government policy, so that the role of government is now a critical factor in determining which economies win and which lose in the increasingly intense process of creative destruction.

Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 28th June 2009
I am writing this post on Friday evening as I will be on holiday in Northumberland when you read this post having a well deserved break with my family. Northumberland is a great place in the UK that we visit every year. Great beaches and great castles, my children love it!
This week I totally cleared my home office out and had it decorated. The new carpet was fitted today so now I am through to the exciting part, which is buying all the new furniture for my office.
I already have my eye on a nice chair and desk from Ikea and I cannot wait to get back into my office.
Here are my collection of links for this week.
- My first link for this week is a great post from the Geek Girls Guide titled Hacking Mail and iCal for GTD. I came across this blog via Twitter when I started to look at some other people who post with the #GTD hashtag. Twitter is an awesome resource for finding information relevant to your interests. Great post if you use a Mac and Mail.app and iCal as I do!
- My second link is a link to an audio interview with Kelly Forrester and David Allen talking about the benefits of Twitter. Generally a positive review from David Allen about Twitter and interesting to hear David's view on Twitter. You can follow David Allen on Twitter @gtdguy and also be sure to follow me @masontech.
- My third link is a link to a good post from the PC Authority website with a long title,
Is email wasting your day? The two-minute rule for Outlook, and other tips to feel like you've achieved something each day. Good article that is based on the GTD principle of the 2 minute rule. Worth reading.
- My fourth link is a link to a post from the Simplicity is Bliss blog titled The Digital Tickler File Problem. Now, I have never implemented a Tickler File due to the fact that my workflow does not involve a great deal of paperwork or date sensitive work so I have had no need for one. However, this looks at the ways you can implement a Digitial Tickler System and the author even makes some application recommendations to help you achieve this. It is Apple Mac based so apologies to my Windows readers!
- My fifth and last link is a link to another Mac tip so I apologize for the heavy Mac influence in my links this week. The link is to a great tip about Making the most of Mac Command-Tab. I mainly use Expose to switch between open Apps but reading this I may try to start using Command-Tab to keep my hands on the keyboard. One of the reasons I get on with the Mac so much is the never ending supply of shortcuts that can just make you work smarter!.
Well, I am going to finish packing for my trip and I hope you have all had a great weekend and I will be back next week!

Personal development seminars help you to acquire an attitude of accepting or overcoming the limitations that you have set for yourself. At personal development seminars you will meet people who are trying to make changes to their lives as you are, and who can sympathize with you. It is like working on a team, each participant has some insight to offer that will assist the rest of the people in the seminar.Reply

There is no clearer sign of Mitt Romney's growing inevitability than his recent string of big high profile endorsements. In just the past two days Romney has gotten the important endorsement of the Republican Party's most significant current and former leaders, representing a broad spectrum of critical Republican constituencies.
Today, Romney was officially endorsed by Rep. Paul Ryan (WI). Not only is Ryan the Chair of the House Budget Committee, but he is widely seen as the driving force behind much of the policy thinking in the Republican caucus. This endorsement importantly comes right before the Wisconsin primary next Tuesday. From Ryan's endorsement:
REP. PAUL RYAN: "Mitt Romney. Here is the point, we vote on Tuesday here in Wisconsin. Lots of my friends, family and supporters are asking me, who do we think we should vote for? I have two criteria I'm using to make my decision to vote in our primary on Tuesday. Who is the best person to be president? Who will make the best president? And who has the best chance of defeating Barack Obama? In my opinion, Mitt Romney is clearly that person. Here's the other point: I spent a good deal of time with Mitt Romney and his staff recently going through our country's fiscal situation, talking about just what it's going to take to get the country back on track. And I am convinced that Mitt Romney has the skills, the tenacity, the principles, the courage and the integrity to do what it takes to get America back on track. So I believe that he's the right person for the job and I think this primary has been productive. I think it's been constructive up 'til now. I think it's made the candidates better. But I think we're entering a phase where it could become counterproductive if this drags on much longer. And so that's why I think we need to coalesce as conservatives around Mitt Romney and focus on the big task at hand which is defeating Barack Obama in the fall."
Just yesterday, Romney received the endorsement of Sen Marco Rubio. While Rubio is technically only a junior senator, he is very popular with the Republican base and viewed as one of the party's best potential choices for VP.
In addition, Romney also recently officially received the endorsement of former President George H.W. Bush. It has long been clear the Bush senior favored Romney but it was only recently that he gave his officially endorsement. Bush Senior along with his son are the only two living former Republican presidents.
If there is actually is such a thing as the "Republican establishment" or the "Republican elites," it consists of these individuals, and they are lining up squarely behind Romney to try to bring this primary fight to an end.

THE Kabwe Municipal Council yesterday swang into action and seized about 69 goats in four townships.
This follows complaints from members of the public whose plants have been eaten in gardens by livestock.
Council public relations manager Anne Mumba said the council moved into action to confiscate goats in townships after several warnings to residents to secure their animals.
Ms Mumba explained that the council had gone round communities sensitising the residents on the need to have their animals secured.
She said despite the sensitisation programmes, some residents had continued to let their animals stray into the streets and destroying fields.
The council had given the animal owners an ultimatum that had come to an end.
She said the council was keeping the animals and had given owners of the animals an ultimatum which ended yesterday to pay K450,000 fine, failure to which the animals would be auctioned.
She urged everyone in the communities keeping livestock to ensure that their animals were in secure areas to avoid been confiscation.
Ms Mumba said the goats that were confiscated had become a nuisance as they were destroying people's crops.
The Public Health Act requires that animals such as pets and livestock should be kept in designated places.

Whether you're a marathon runner or just starting out, wearing the right sneakers is key before you hit the track.
Top runners' favorite shoes
Whether you're a marathon runner or just starting out, wearing the right sneakers is key before you hit the track.
We asked some of the best runners from the 2010 to 2012 Long Island Marathons for their top running shoe recommendations.
Dan and Shaun McGrath, speedy brothers from Lynbrook who are both past winners, said they prefer something lightweight but with enough support to run serious distances. Lindsey Block of Huntington's feet felt free as she finished before every other woman in 2012 in her non-constricting Brooks Green Silence shoes.
Check out their recommendations and the picks of other men and women who have been among the first to cross the finish line.

When Hollywood ladies such as Heidi Klum, Katie Holmes and Maria Shriver decided to trade in their "ball 'n' chain" husbands for single life, the tabloids ran rabid.
In that vein, to celebrate the recent union between Fresh Arts Coalition and Spacetaker, the on-trend local arts organizations (now collectively Fresh Arts) threw the TMZ-friendly Ball 'N Chain Gala at Winter Street Studios, where guests were encouraged to don costumes nodding to matrimonial disasters, pop culture nuptials and other wedding faux pas. And partygoers' sartorial statements - think scary monster makeup, '80s tulle veils à la "Sixteen Candles" and dyeable heels - made for a splashy, festive affair.
For example, Fresh Arts founder Marita Fairbanks traded in her blonde locks for a hip grazing brunette wig in homage to Kim Kardashian and her short-lived marriage to Kris Humphries, enlisting Houston artist Kasi Kubiak to design her altar-recalling puffy-sleeved gown adorned with tabloid photos of Kardashian in wedding attire. (Kubiak herself also wore a similarly frilly white number.) Meanwhile, Paul Brockman and Scott Green wore mother-of-the-bride get-ups that more closely resembled the "women" from the Bud Light "Ladies Night" commercials than, say, Duchess Kate's mum, and honoree Sixto Wagan channeled the late Lady Di as a young bride with a full-skirted, taffeta confection. (The evening's other honorees - George Lancaster, Mathew Dirst and Rich Levy - wore demure suits.)
With the band Klockwork and live armadillo racing, among other entertainment, the overall scene created a diverse reality for attendees including Vivian Wise, Nick Day, James Bell, Amanda Fox, Estela and David Cockrell and Rosemarie and Matt Johnson
Chaired by Eleanor and Dan Gilbane, Mark Sullivan, and Jennie and Justin Segal, the boisterous bash raised more than $91,000 for Fresh Arts.
