Overbooked? Guilty here…We absolutely live a frenetic life with 3 boys, sports, activities, and oh yea, school! It all adds up to busy days that turn into busy weeks and months, and all of a sudden, no one is sure where the time went. I'm definitely against forcing kids to do things they don't want to do for no good reason, but…I'm very much FOR letting kids stay active in sports and activities, even if it adds frenzy to our family life. It also adds afternoons watching sporting events and car rides to and from where you get to catch up. That said, this guest post, from Philip Brown, PhD, a resident expert character education at Wear The Cape, has some great ideas which even busy families may find useful. I definitely think that well-timed "pauses" are good for everyone, myself included.
Wear the Cape describes itself as a "mission-powered brand with the nerve to equate being kind with being cool." More info on them is below this guest post.
5 Tips to Avoid Overbooking Your Kids and Find Life Balance
Dr. Brown advocates, "Saying 'no' when demands become more than we can handle, or to children who may feel that they are supposed to be involved with everything their friends are doing to keep up, is not easy, and can be particularly difficult if our sense of self, who we want to believe we are or should be, seems dependent on saying 'yes' and doing it all."

With summer around the corner, kids will have the opportunity to make and of course, SPEND money. These tips on how to raise money-savvy teens caught my eye, and come from financial security expert and two-time New York Times bestselling author Pamela Yellen.
Pamela suggests the following building blocks for your teen's financial literacy:
* Connect becoming financially savvy with becoming more independent: Teens aren't interested in learning about money to become "financially responsible adults." They're interested in gaining more autonomy and more freedom. Teens are starting to decide who they want to be and how they want to live. They want to be independent and stand on their own two feet.
* Clean up the mess you've made: Maybe some of the ways you've dealt with money with your kids have not been brilliant. Maybe you gave them allowances without any responsibilities to earn it. Maybe you haven't allowed them to make even the smallest spending decisions. Maybe you've bailed them out every time they overspent. Just stop it. It may cause some upset and may need some explanation. But your mission as a parent is to help them develop skills they'll need to be out on their own. Don't sabotage their futures by continuing unhealthy family patterns with money.
* Correct your failure to communicate: Good communication with teens is almost an oxymoron! They're frustrated with their parents, and typically their parents are frustrated with them. "Because I say so!" is no longer an effective explanation, and they're no longer the compliant eight-year-olds you once knew. The burden is on you to get communication channels open so they can hear what you have to say about money.
More tips from Yellen:
* Be a good listener first
* Acknowledge and support your teen's increased autonomy
* Accept their feelings and respect their opinions
* Admit it when you're wrong, and discuss your mistakes and what you learned from them
* Above all, avoid nagging, guilt trips, and lecturing!
Yellen explains, "Avoid any statement that could be accompanied by a wagging index finger, like 'You have to learn this so you'll end up to be a responsible adult, not a deadbeat like your Uncle Harry,' or 'You're not getting a credit card, young lady, until you show a little maturity with your spending.' Your teen will instantly flip into 'I can't hear you' mode. You'll get better results with, 'If you learn to be financially savvy, you'll be able to create a life where you can have and do the things you really want to do. Would you be interested?' Or 'If you're interested in getting your first credit card, I know exactly how you can earn it. Would you like to know?'"

I saw Hal Runkel (ScreamFree Parenting) at a PEP event and have been reading his Daily "ScreamFree eQuips" ever since. This one is so spot on, I had to share it with you. It always makes me laugh that our kids are so technically literate and can text, SnapChat, and Facebook simultaneously, but I can clear the room in an instant when I ask for someone to take the trash out. All joking aside, my boys do help, but as moms know, there's always more to do…
Meghan Leahy's recent article in The Washington Post, "The right response when your child doesn't want to be 'bossed around'" is a great look at autonomy-seeking single-digit aged kids. She talks about independence and how healthy and necessary it can be, even if it's uncomfortable for parents. Leahy writes, "All children who are developing to their fullest potential come to an age when they want to create a space for themselves, a voice and a sense of independence within their families."
Leahy illustrates this approach with a shout-out to a strategy she learned at the Parent Encouragement Program, the family meeting. The idea of getting everyone together once a week to discuss the family agenda and to engage the kids in finding solutions so they have a voice in the management of the family is a great one to remember. I, too, learned about this at a PEP class, where I'm currently also a Board member.
I asked PEP to share some class materials here at The Lounge to give our readers some insight into how how family meetings can be done, and why they're helpful. When I took PEP's multi-week Teens class last spring, they spent a lot of time teaching us how to plan, structure and implement family "councils" or meetings, and WHY they help each kid feel like a productive, useful, problem-solving member of the family team. PEP's curriculum writes, "A harmonious family is orderly…cooperative, efficient, and pleasant, (with) an atmosphere of friendliness, kindness and love."
PEP advocates an "open forum, in which all family members can express ideas, opinions and complaints, and be listened to." Some elements of the meeting can include:
I love it! We used to do this more regularly at our home and have picked it up again recently. There are tons of ways you can personalize it, including a clockwise "compliment circle" where you go around the table and say something nice about the person next to you. That certainly kicks things off in a friendly manner, and who doesn't love to be complimented? I share and then post our color-coded (yes, I'm a details person) calendar on the wall, and it's great to look at the big picture and the little details that drive our busy lives… together.

There's nothing more fun than working on a PR project for a family-friendly product that I view as "MomTastic," and Marimba Chat is a perfect example! I wanted to share this exciting news at The Lounge…
Young kids want to text. Parents want to keep them safe. Until recently, think of the young kids' "digital playground" as mobile messaging without a hall monitor.
Mainstream apps want you to be 13+, so kids either lie about their age and participate in platforms that are built for and marketed to adults, or wait. However…
Here's a news feature detailing the first-ever COPPA-certified messaging app that allows young kids (7-12) to text in a safe environment where parents can monitor everything in real-time. Developed by a father-daughter duo, Marimba Chat gives parents a way to ease their digitally-ready kids safely into mobile messaging. It's a "walk before you run" approach to texting where young kids benefit from learning digital etiquette and practicing and learning from mistakes in a controlled/safe environment.
A great overview, told by 8-year-old Co-Founder Annelise, is here, followed by a story of how this all started.
First-ever COPPA-certified Messaging App
Offers Real-time Monitoring, Identify Verification and Safeguards
So Young Kids can Learn Valuable Lessons on the Digital Playground
Today's kids are growing up in a digital world, and the menu of options available – Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Kik Messenger and so on – requires kids to be 13 or older. Younger kids, aged 7-12, are left to either lie about their age or not play on the digital playground. If kids choose to register with mainstream apps, they are set free in a world designed for and marketed to adults. There is a void of legal, safe options available to them for social messaging.
Why are there age limits? The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) aims to protect children under 13. The rule brings strict requirements and stiff fines ($16,000 per violation) so most companies avoid younger age groups altogether.
Parents struggle to keep up as well. The recent McAfee survey, "Digital Deception: Exploring the Online Disconnect between Parents and Kids," reports that 52 percent of kids spend six hours a day online, but 80 percent of parents say they don't have the time or energy to keep up with their children online.
One father-daughter software development team is confident that their newly minted app will ease young kids into the world of social media with the help of their parents as digital coaches. It started when co-founder and 8-year-old Annelise Schiebler asked if she could chat with her friends online. Her father, co-founder Andrew Schiebler, was surprised that there wasn't already a range of options for young kids.
After more research, the father-daughter duo developed Marimba Chat, the first COPPA-certified messaging app for kids. Andrew explained, "There are very few social networking products made for this age group. Our goal is to give elementary school kids a safe place to chat with their friends and family." Marimba is currently free to download in the App Store.
Marimba is designed to be safe for kids and easy for parents. Highlights include:
Marimba is the first messaging app certified by kidSAFE, an independent safety seal-of-approval program, to be compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Co-founder Andrew Schiebler noted several key areas in which parents can teach their kids "digital etiquette" so they learn and practice safe methods from the start. "We help parents teach kids about online interaction like appropriate language, how to treat their friends, and what to do if they feel threatened. These life skills are just as critical in the digital arena as they are on the school playground."
Kids and technology are here to stay. According to Marimba, kids should be supported by carefully designed safeguards so that their experience is both fun and age-appropriate.

For the 7th year in a row, Macy's annual Believe campaign invites customers to write "Letters to Santa at the North Pole" in stores and now online. For each letter collected, Macy's will donate $1 up to $1 million to Make-A-Wish, helping to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. And this year, Macy's is aiming to earn the Guinness World Records title for the "longest wish list to Santa" (therefore, the adorable picture at the top of this post). We've seen the magic this campaign creates and have been touched by how powerful the "star treatment" is for the kids battling serious illnesses. It gives them a short but valuable break from the exhaustion and stress of doctor's offices, tests, scans, and the kind of days kids just shouldn't have to endure.
I hope Macy's wish, and many wishes of many Make-A-Wish kids come true this holiday season.
Letters are being collected through December 24th. You can find a Macy's store near you at this link.
Full disclosure: Macy's is a client of our PR firm, Write Ideas, Inc., but this is such a wonderful, family-friendly message, I love to share it at MomTini as well.
In a recent Thanksgiving post, I mentioned that I've always loved the breakdown of the word, "thanks" and "giving." So this was the perfect time to stumble upon this book, and I wanted to share some of its tips for teaching gratitude to kids. The book, the newest member of our MomTastic Bookshelf, encourages kids to listen to their intuition, which is such a powerful lesson. The author, Kathy Walsh, along with her company, joyohboy, teaches parents to raise peaceful kids, which is such an important charge in our society today. We can definitely mold the headlines of the future by teaching kids today (and every day) how to value peace.
In her book, Gratitude is a Funny Thing, Walsh suggests…
There's lots more, I just loved these tools and wanted to pass along. Check out the joyohboy blog with more articles on mindful parenting. Here's a link to the book on Amazon.
How do you think we can teach kids more about gratitude?
Comment on this post with anything useful for families for Thanksgiving (a tip, a recipe secret, anything to make the holiday special), and you will be entered to win a $25 Food Lion Gift Card (winners to be randomly chosen on December 15, 2014).
We recently shopped Food Lion as a Mom Blog assignment, and wanted to share some of our findings here at The Lounge. Our local store was definitely well-stocked, easy to shop, and reasonably priced throughout the store. In particular, we found the frozen section to have TONS of kid-friendly foods. Our boys are in a constant state of motion or refueling, so we like to keep lots of after school snacks "at the ready." And snacks aren't just pretzels, it's really more like a 4th meal. Plus, with kids, you never know when you'll have 1 or 10 showing up, ready to eat.
Some of the best finds at our store beyond the frozen section are the private label spices – they had tons on hand, and very well-priced. Plus, the produce section is huge, and they had lots of variety. I found some treasures on their site to share with you as you gear up for holiday get togethers:
So, if you'd like to win a $25 Gift Card to shop Food Lion for the holidays, comment on this post, and we'll select winners at random on 12/15/14.

Many thanks to Julie D., Mom since 1998 (MS'98) for sharing this chilling video created by NAPCAN, an Australia-based organization aimed at preventing child abuse. The video, "Children See, Children Do," is 60 seconds, is an unbelievable, powerful tool that demonstrates how critical a parent's ACTIONS are in teaching his/her child. So many times, we find ourselves flustered and reactive, without realizing the impact our actions have on our kids and on those around us. Kudos to NAPCAN for developing this public service campaign, and I hope you'll consider sharing with your own friends. While some of the examples may seem extreme, the message is clear…
Keeping the house clean & organized is like grabbing spaghetti out of a hot pan and thinking you might actually hold onto a few strands. Especially for Type-A parents like myself who achieve calm and balance when the house is in some kind of order, cleaning seems like an insurmountable hurdle at times.
We're constantly wondering how the kids can be more involved, and have tried a multitude of systems and chore charts over the years. Let's just say we make some progress, but that this "chore" is in a constant state of evolution.
I love this guest post from My Job Chart Founder Gregg Murset, where he shares some inside knowledge on when and how we can get the kids on board. I wanted to share a great line from Gregg's description of why he developed My Job Chart: "Currently there are numerous studies saying the same thing — kids may not know how to work, kids spend too much watching TV and playing video games, and kids don't understand the basic fundamentals of managing money. Now My Job Chart can help reverse these trends by parents and kids working together to turn teachable moments into productive work and smart money decisions."
When and How to Start Chores
By Gregg Murset
You Can Feel It … Most parents get "the feeling" when their children are capable of learning something new or taking on a task. It's no different with picking up responsibilities around the house. Don't ignore your gut and begin recognizing that your kids can be a get help to you.
Start Them Young … The basic rule is – if your children are old enough to take toys out to play, then they are old enough to put them away. The same goes with most other things around the house, even clothes, dishes, video games or items used out at the pool.
It's Your Call … Don't let so-called experts put an age range on particular jobs your kids could be doing. While it might not make sense to someone living in big city why a 10-year old would ever run lawnmower, in America's heartland, it's not uncommon for a 10-year old handling equipment on the farm. If you know they can complete harder chores safely, maybe you should let them try. It's your call.
Understand Why It's Important To Have Kids Do Chores & Receive Rewards … Using chores & rewards to teach our kids about responsibility, accountability and money has been around for decades. It's easy, effective and can change as your child grows. Kids need structure and providing them with a daily routine or responsibilities, only help them later in life.
Be Consistent … When it comes to kids doing chores around the house, often there is only one thing stopping the kids – parents. Whether it's because we get busy and forgot, get tried of nagging or just find it quicker to do it ourselves, parents are often the reason kids stop doing chores. Parents need to be consistent, demanding and set proper expectations when it comes to chores.
Be Fair … Kids understand right and wrong or fair and unfair. Separate the chores evenly or rotate them so the worst chores aren't always with one child. If you are rewarding your children for jobs well done, don't be afraid to compensate one child more than another if the chores they handle are more difficult or are less attractive.
Don't Let Other Things Get In The Way … Dance practice, music lessons, football games, baseball practice and homework are just a few things your child has on their plate each day. As a parent, teach your child from an early age how to manage time and set priorities, by doing all these things plus the daily chores. There are life lessons in everything, don't drop off things around the house because outside activities make life busy. We certainly can't do that as adults, can we?
Stress Saving & Sharing … If you provide a reward for your kids, make sure to stress saving and sharing. Everyone knows how to spend … it's like breathing … you just do it. Saving and sharing takes practice, a plan and often some research. In the long run, however, your kids will see the benefits and continue to do these things as adults. It's like riding a bike – learn it early in life and you can always do it again later. Learn it later in life and it's more difficult.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and while this anti-bullying book is written for kids, there are some timeless lessons that aren't restricted to kids. In fact, I just finished a post for my PR Firm website for today's 2nd Annual Snark Free Day that talks about workplace bullying, so the topic spans from the playground to the boardroom.
Thanks to Bli Marston Dugi, M-PAC, author of "The Principle Gang," a book series on anti-bullying for kids aged 4-11, for this guest post. Dugi says that school is stressful enough without worrying about "that mean kid," and that according to the National Education Agency, 160,000 students stay home from school everyday due to bullying.
He shares some powerful ways that parents can be part of the solution by being present, setting good examples, and being brave themselves. Here's his story…
It is paramount for parents to take an active role in their child's education. Take part in regular conversations pertaining to school at home and interact as much as possible on school campuses. This active role is the first step parents can take to bully proof their children.
A parental presence is the number one deterrent for childhood bullies. Bullies prefer to be sneaky most of the time. It is very easy for parents and teachers to identify the kid that is mean to everyone, but it is very difficult to identify the kid that is quietly mean to just one person. This "quietly mean" child can be the one who causes the most damage. Psychological abuse in the form of damaging words can leave life-long scars that far surpass any physical abuse that one may encounter. If your child has a "best friend" but still seems to be withdrawn or unhappy, evaluate this friendship immediately. Ask what games are being played at school. Ask your child whom they are sitting with at lunch. Ask more than "how was your day?" When you ask more, you decrease the chances of having the "it was fine" or the one answer "good" become another day that a potential problem was ignored.
Mean parents raise mean children. As parents, you need to be aware of those "mean parents" that you may encounter. It is a no-brainer that behavior is modeled, so the unfortunate result is the development of mean kids. Don't spend every day of the school year in the pick-up or drop-off line. Walk your child into school once a week to reinforce a parental presence. Make it a priority to attend a school-sponsored field trip, and attend at least 2 class parties throughout the year. By engaging in conversation with other parents and teachers, parents make themselves "available" to discuss any problems that may be occurring. During this interaction, be on the look out for those mean parents that seem to have a bad attitude every time you encounter them and guide your child's choice of friends accordingly.
Don't be afraid to shake up your social circle. Parents have to be able to openly discuss the difficult issues that arise with each other without taking offense. Children are not emotionally mature enough to always act appropriately, but parents should be. Undoubtedly, problems can and will arise between children of the same social circle that need to be addressed by parents. The key is to deal with these problems directly with the parent whose child is involved and leave out the uninvolved families. Often times, parents are quick to complain to a third party, as they are worried about upsetting their "social circle". Parents must stand together or a greater degree of division will occur between the children.
There are very important tips to share with children to keep them from either becoming a bully or becoming the victim of a bully. These critical messages are very simple and should be reinforced throughout the school year.\
Kids need to be able to RECOGNIZE what "mean" is: hurtful words, pushing/shoving/kicking, alienation, exclusion, facial reactions, etc…
Once a child recognizes this type of behavior, he/she needs to be given the okay to REPORT this behavior to a parent/teacher/counselor/principal, etc. Stop labeling children as "tattle-tales". Tattle –tales save lives.
After an incident has been reported, it is now time to REACT. A child needs to know that the nicer they are to all children, the less chance they have of being bullied. Encourage your child to be the one that reaches out to the child who has no friends.
There are No Bullies Allowed in The Principle Gang, a six-book series that teaches kids (ages 4-11) three anti-bullying principles: 1) Don't be mean, 2) Tell your teacher, and 3) Be a friend. Questions at the end of each book encourage kids and parents/caregivers to engage in thought-provoking conversations about family, friendship, community and fairness. Book 1, Don't Judge a Lizard by His Scales, released in August, and Book 2, Wizard Lizard Rides the Subway, releases this month.
Dr. Dan and Bli Dugi have a combined 50 years experience as a physician and physician assistant team. With The Principle Gang series, they have created a way to connect with young children outside of the exam room. They live in Cuero, Texas, with their daughter, Emmy.

The association between maternal smoking and adverse child health outcomes has not been systematically explored in less developed countries, especially in Nepal where over a quarter of women of reproductive age smoke tobacco products. This study aims to quantify the effect of maternal smoking on acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptoms among children aged below five years, using the 2001 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey. It is hypothesized that children born to mothers who smoke frequently are at higher risk of developing ARI symptoms. Four-level random intercept logistic regression models were used to disentangle the independent effect of maternal smoking on children's ARI symptoms, controlling for potential biological, socioeconomic, seasonal and spatial variables. Maternal smoking status had a significant effect on children's ARI symptoms; the effects were significantly higher (adjusted OR 1.41; 95% CI 1.02–1.96) among those born to mothers who smoked more frequently than their counterparts. Furthermore, a strong spatial pattern was evident in the prevalence of ARI symptoms, after adjusting for maternal smoking and relevant control variables. The findings underscore the importance of designing exclusive public health intervention measures to prevent tobacco smoking within households, for example through awareness campaigns highlighting the adverse effect of maternal smoking on child health.

The Game Of Summer Love -DoroGiro- Part 2Part Two, Giroro's POVThe Game Of Summer Love -DoroGiro- Part 23 years ago in Romance More Like This
"N... Nii-chan.." Damnit, I shouldve known listening to Keroro would get me into trouble. It wasn't even worth it. It was barely any fun, and Zeroro had to get hurt again.... I don't know why we stick around sometimes. I could be sleeping peacefully, but now I'm in trouble. That idiot.
Well, Garuru continued to scold us. The same old "You should've known better." routine. I love my older brother and look up to him, but sometimes I wish he'd cut me some slack. Just let me be when I got into trouble. But I guess his military training makes him act so serious and diciplined.
"Well, what do you have to say for yourselves?" I looked up at my brother. I really didn't know what to say to make this situation easier on me... Why can't Keroro just man up and tell him? I realised I was going to have to be the one to apologize. I hate doing that.. It hurts my soldier's pride. It's a miracle what happened next. I guess distractions can be good once in a whil
The Game of Summer Love -DoroGiro- Part 3Part 3- Zeroro's POVThe Game of Summer Love -DoroGiro- Part 33 years ago in Drama More Like This
I've been trying to hold back tears since that moment. I'ts hard.
I mean, I kissed him. I just wanted to so badly... I couldn't help it! And now he hates me! He's probably disgusted, we're both boys, why do I feel like this? He's just the only one that ever cared; He remembers my name. He's nice to me. He let me come to him for help and i blew it. Now he hates me forever! I... why did I do that? I'm such an idiot!
I turned and looked at him. He saw me and faced the other way. See? He still hates me. It was so awkwardly silent the entire walk there. When we finally got to the door, we saw Garuru-dono again. He was on the phone.
"Alright, Outo-san. I'll tell him. I'll see you then." He looked dissapointed. He then saw us.
"I've finished alerting all of your parents of what happened. Please go into the room and take a seat." We all headed into the room, anxious at what our fate would be. Me especially. I was so cold.... why couldn't they let me sleep a bit

Can we cluster two different edition of windows using VCS
Created: 25 Sep 2012 • Updated: 27 Sep 2012 | 2 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi guys,
Can we cluster two different editions of Windows server 2008 R2 X64 (such that one is standard edition and the other is enterprise edition) using VCS.
Thanks & Regards,
Discussion Filed Under:
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Hi Majid,
With VCS you can cluster different editions of Windows. VCS just checks to make sure that all node are running the the same OS type and architecture. As long as both servers are running Windows 2008 and are either 32 bit or 64 bit, then VCS will be fine.
You need to keep in mind that VCS will not be able to get around any limitations that are imposed by the specific OS edition being used. As long as the application being cluster is not affected by the difference in OS edition then you should not have any problems.
Thank you,

The most subversive and gloriously unexpected novel you'll ever read about the end of a marriage and its aftermath. Funny, sad and exquisitely written, it is guaranteed to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.
Always let the meat rest under foil for at least ten minutes before carving...
Meet Lizzie Prain, ordinary housewife. Fifty-something. Lives in a cottage in the woods with her dog Rita. Likes cooking, avoids the neighbours. Runs a little business making cakes.
No one has seen Lizzie's husband, Jacob, for a few days. That's because last Monday, on impulse, Lizzie caved in the back of his head with a spade. And if she's going to embark on the new life she feels she deserves after thirty years in Jacob's shadow, she needs to dispose of his body.
Her method appeals to all her practical instincts, although it's certainly not for the faint-hearted. Will Lizzie have the strength to follow it through to the end?
Blackly funny and achingly human, Season to Taste is the extraordinary story of how Lizzie Prain reclaims her life.
About the Author
Natalie Young worked for The Times for several years, and was then Books and Arts Editor of Prospect magazine. She is now a full-time mother and writer.
Read Caroline Baum's Review
One day Lizzie Prain, a fifty something housewife living in a cottage in the British woods, decides to murder and eat her husband Jacob. She does so methodically, following the encouraging notes she has written herself about how to get over her disgust.
This very dark premise sounds like a real recipe for success but it did not work for me. I found Lizzie's voice insufferable. She irritated me so much I would happily have boiled her myself.
I only mention it because this book is bound to attract attention given its shock value, and I am sure other readers will find its grotesque mixture of the nasty and the homely appealing.
For me it's not a patch on books in the food and crime genre like The Debt to Pleasure by John Lanchester.

Cairo — Potential presidential candidate Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has said that there is no room at all for authoritarian or nondemocratic rule in Egypt's future.
Sisi added in a statement late on Sunday that, Egypt will not march backwards, pointing out that no one can control the fate of the Egyptian people, who revolted twice in the past three years, against their will.

The attendees of the 85th Annual Academy Awards arrived at the ceremony and the Vanity Fair Oscar party in chauffeur-driven limousines, town cars, and S.U.V.'s. This is not simply a convention born of pomp or lethargy—it's practical. Given the extensive street closures, the phalanxes of aggressive photographers, and the general vagaries of Los Angeles traffic, the only way to ensure that celebrants get to the big night on time is to shuttle them there. And with about 1,000 vehicles in this star-studded parade, it is not a day you want to be on the road—barring you're in something fast, elegant, sporty, and European, lined with fragrant, baby-soft leather, powered by a potent V-12 engine, and costing in the neighborhood of $300,000. We tried these out this year at V.F.'s various Oscars-preceding festivities, so that you could benefit from our wisdom and snatch one up for next year. Behold:

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I think it's impossible to make any kind of summary about me, or at least I haven't succeed. Maybe you could try?
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Struggling with my thesis and the last exam.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
I'm good at making things in a hard way and notice things too late or too slowly.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I haven't ever ask nad nobody never told, so at least nothing irritating, I think.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I haven't had lately any time to read anything besides references to my thesis. I used to read detective and sci-fi novels, so I probaly would read them, if I had more time.
Same thing as with the books, comcerns also with movies, except there isn't any movie references to my thesis, unfortunately.
Well, luckily music can be listenned while typing and thnking, hearing it is another story. Almost anything works except finnish schlagers, rap and modern r'n'b.
Italian food works always.

The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Music, computer, internet, pizza, coke, rye bread.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
How things should be done even if I have done a decision once.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Lately there haven't been any typical Friday night.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I think there isn't anything that would surprise or interest anybody.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
Well... you shouldn't, but you can!

Now that it's a public company, it's probably time to take that mobile thing seriously. LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) has rolled out fresh new mobile applications for both iOS and Android as well as a new mobile Web site built using HTML5 technologies.
hat's of course a bit unfair to LinkedIn, which had a mobile presence long ago and has recently spoken about how much usage its services see from mobile devices. But the new apps are a substantial improvement over the older ones, with a cleaner design and a simpler interface better suited for quick interaction on a mobile screen. Those who prefer mobile browsing will also get a much cleaner experience with the new site, currently available at touch.linkedin.com.
Mobile applications are key to other social networks, like Facebook and Twitter, which see a huge percentage of traffic from smartphones. LinkedIn is a little different in that it's a professional service that most people don't update quite as much, but the company has been trying to drive more frequent visits with products like LinkedIn Today and updates are a key section of the redesigned mobile app.

China to try ex-police head for defection, bribery
BEIJING A trial next week for a flamboyant former police chief marks the latest step by China's leadership to contain the fallout from a messy political scandal that disgraced a senior politician and complicated an unexpectedly bumpy handover of power to new leaders.
The Intermediate Court in the Chengdu announced Friday that Wang Lijun would stand trial Tuesday for defection, bribery and other charges. A police chief who was unusually fond of publicity, Wang was a longtime aide to prominent up-and-coming leader Bo Xilai. Wang's unexpected flight to the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu in February set off the scandal that led to Bo being suspended from the Communist Party Politburo and his wife being convicted last month of murdering a British businessman.
Dealing with the fates of Wang, Bo and his wife has consumed the leadership's attention when it had hoped to concentrate on preparing for a handover of power to a younger generation of leaders at the party congress this fall - an event that always occasions tricky backroom politicking.
Though no dates have been announced, the congress is widely expected to be in the latter half of October. But the scheduling seemed to suffer another complication when the next top leader, Vice President Xi Jinping, suddenly dropped from public view this month and remained unaccounted for Friday for the 13th day. The government has refused to comment.
Xi's absence has reportedly prevented senior leaders from holding a Politburo meeting that will set the dates for the congress and confirm the agenda for a larger meeting that will announce the party's verdict on Bo, once the popular head of the inland city of Chongqing and a contender for a leadership spot.
With so much unsettled, the leadership appears determined to characterize Wang's case as one of individual wrongdoing rather than symptomatic of divisive infighting within the party.
"They would certainly keep this as an individual case with no implications for Bo Xilai and therefore no implications for party factional struggles and so on," said Joseph Cheng, a political science professor at the City University of Hong Kong.
Wang worked with Bo, first in a northeastern province and in Chongqing where Bo made Wang police chief. The two staged a crackdown on organized crime that grabbed headlines and made them both national figures but that later was criticized for trampling on civil liberties.
For still unexplained reasons, the two men had a falling out early this this year, and after Bo removed him as police chief, Wang fled to the U.S. Consulate in nearby Chengdu.
During a 33-hour stay, Wang told U.S. diplomats that he suspected that British businessman Neil Heywood, a business associate of the Bo family, had been murdered in November in Chongqing and that he had evidence to prove it. Though it's unclear if Wang sought asylum, his indictment charges him with doing so. But U.S. diplomats explained to him that under U.S. policy, American embassies and consulates may not grant asylum.
In the meantime, Bo had sent a phalanx of officials to surround the consulate and retrieve Wang. Wang only left the consulate after negotiating his own handover to a vice minister of state security who came from Beijing to retrieve him.
