Promote Yourself: The New Rules for Career Success
By Dan Schawbel
"New York Times" and "Wall Street Journal" Bestseller
""Promote Yourself" is a perfect read for young people starting their 'real' job, or veterans who want to up their game."
---Daniel H. Pink, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "To Sell Is Human and Drive"
How people perceive you at work has always been vital to a successful career. Now with the Internet, social media, and the unrelenting hum of 24/7 business, the ability to brand and promote yourself effectively has become absolutely essential. No matter how talented you are, it doesn't matter unless managers can see those talents and think of you as an invaluable employee, a game-changing manager, or the person whose name is synonymous with success. So, how do you stand out and get ahead?
The subtle and amazingly effective art of self-promotion is the razor-thin difference between success and failure. By drawing on exclusive research on the modern workplace and countless interviews with the most dynamic professionals, career guru and founder of Millennial Branding Dan Schawbel's "Promote Yourself "gives you the new rules for success, and answers your most pressing questions about your career:
* What are managers really looking for?
* What do you do if you're stuck at work?
* How do you create a personal brand for professional success?
* How do you use social media for networking to propel your career?
"Promote Yourself" frees you from the outdated rules for getting ahead and lays out a step-by-step process for building a successful career in an age of ever-changing technologies and economic uncertainty. By basing your personal brand on the rock-solid foundation of hard, soft, and online skills that are essential to get the job done right and by knowing exactly what managers value, Schawbel provides you with the unique skills and message that you'll need today and for the rest of your career. "Promote Yourself: The New Rules for Career Success" is the definitive book on marketing yourself and building an outstanding career.
Praise for "Promote Yourself: The New Art of Getting Ahead
"""Promote Yourself" is a perfect read for young people starting their 'real' job, or veterans who want to up their game. Think of Dan Schawbel's new book as everything you always wanted to know about building a career but didn't know how (or whom) to ask."
--Daniel H. Pink, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "To Sell Is Human" and "Drive
""This is a book about freedom. The freedom to chart your own path, make your own ruckus and stand up and say to the world, 'Here, I made this.'"
--Seth Godin, "New York Times" bestseller and author of "The Icarus Deception
""Dan will show you how to communicate your unique contribution, so that you make yourself indispensable."
--Marcus Buckingham, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Now, Discover Your Strengths"
"If you're just standing around waiting and hoping for the boss to notice you, I've got bad news: It's probably not going to happen. High-performing leaders are attracted to activity. You've got to get moving! In "Promote Yourself," Dan Schawbel shows you what to do to get noticed--and get promoted--inside the company you're already with."
--Dave Ramsey, "New York Times "bestseller and nationally syndicated radio host
""Promote Yourself" is a tactical and practical guide to navigate the new world of work. It will inspire you to create your own career path and control your own destiny."
--Guy Kawasaki, former chief evangelist of Apple, "New York Times "Bestselling author of "Enchantment" and "APE"
"Schawbel's book is a game-changer for any employee who is looking to get ahead at work. It reveals the skills and strategies that will turn you into a future leader."
--Stephen R. Covey, "New York Times "bestseller and author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective""People "and "The 3rd Alternative"
"In this remarkable book, Schawbel gives you all the resources, advice and inspiration you needs

Hey guys I currently have a Bandit that Im going to convert into a Rustler and going to buy a Rally VXL for my street vehicle... I saw the Ken Block edition at my LHS and fell in love.
Anyway, I was checking one out the other day and I was curious about the batteries that will fit in it. Obviously it doesnt hold "hump" batteries that my Bandit holds, but are those battery compartments large enough to hold 7 or 8 cell NiMh packs? I would eventually get a Lipo for it but until I get around to purchasing one with a charger, I would like to use NiMh in the meantime.
Just curious because the compartments looked kind of small and although I assume two 6 cell NiMh would work pretty well, does it hold 7 or 8 cell flat packs? Thanks

Although his first song was played on loop for months, the subliminal messaging in 'Free Loop' fell on deaf ears.
Just the subliminal nature of being on stage and making a declarative statement rather than a passive one.
Lifestyle, or sensibility, is the dominant commodity, clothing the subliminal message.
1886, "below the threshold" (of consciousness), formed from sub "below" (see sub-) + Latin limen (genitive liminis) "threshold" (see limit (n.)).
Apparently a loan-translation of German unter der Schwelle (des Bewusstseins) "beneath the threshold (of consciousness)," from Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776-1841), author of a textbook on psychology published in 1824. The scare over subliminal advertising came in 1957.
subliminal sub·lim·i·nal (sŭb-lĭm'ə-nəl)
Below the threshold of conscious perception. Used of stimuli.
Inadequate to produce conscious awareness but able to evoke a response.

Monday, April 7th (All times Eastern)
Tampa Bay Rays (4-3) at Kansas City Royals (2-3), 8:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Tampa Bay - Matt Moore (0-1, 3.18) Kansas City - Jason Vargas (0-0, 1.29)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Left-hander Matt Moore looks for better luck against the Kansas City Royals on Monday night when the Tampa Bay Rays travel to Kauffman Stadium to begin a three-game series.
The Rays have lost nine of their last 13 meetings with the Royals and were consistently hit hard by them in 2013 while dropping six of seven games, posting a 7.95 earned run average in the season series and allowing at least seven runs five times.
Thus far this season, Tampa Bay has allowed three or fewer runs in five of seven games.
Moore allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings of a 2-13 matchup with Kansas City en route to dropping a 7-2 decision at Tropicana Field in June. He's making his second start of 2014 after losing, 3-0, to Toronto on Wednesday.
In that game, the 24-year-old Florida native allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings.
He's 15-7 in 33 career road appearances.
The Royals counter with fellow lefty Jason Vargas, who makes his second start in a Kansas City uniform since joining the team as a free agent in the offseason.
The 31-year-old California native signed a four-year deal worth $32 million and allowed a single run over seven innings while getting a no-decision in a 2-1 loss at Detroit in his Wednesday debut.
He was beaten, 7-1, in his last meeting with the Rays, surrendering 10 hits and five runs in four innings while still with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
In four previous games against Tampa Bay, Vargas was 3-1 with a 1.32 ERA.
On Sunday at Tampa Bay, Yu Darvish tossed seven innings in his 2014 debut and the Texas Rangers avoided a three-game sweep with a 3-0 win over the Rays at Tropicana Field.
Alex Cobb pitched well in the start for Tampa Bay, holding Texas to three singles with a walk and six strikeouts over seven frames.
Meanwhile, in Kansas City, Chris Sale tossed eight scoreless innings as the Chicago White Sox downed the Royals, 5-1, to avoid a three-game sweep.
James Shields (0-1) was the hard-luck loser, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out six over seven innings.
Alex Gordon had an RBI single and Lorenzo Cain went 2-for-3 in the setback for Kansas City. .

On this day in 1854, Samuel K. Lewis finally received payment for two beeves he had furnished to the Army of the Republic of Texas in November 1842. Lewis, whose place and date of birth are unknown, had moved to Texas in 1838. He was issued an unconditional grant for land in Brazoria County in 1841 and was living in or near La Grange by 1842. In that year, president Sam Houston and Congress were pursuing a policy of retrenchment and economy. Despite their efforts, by the time Texas was annexed to the United States, in 1845, the money owed Lewis was part of a $12 million public debt. Lewis, who also represented Austin County in the House of Representatives of the Ninth Congress (1844-1845), died in 1867.
On this day in 1902, Juanita Shanks Craft was born in Round Rock, Texas. Her long record as a civil-rights activist began when she joined the Dallas branch of the NAACP in 1935. She was appointed Dallas NAACP membership chairman in 1942 and in 1946 was promoted to Texas NAACP field organizer. She and Lulu Belle White of Houston organized 182 branches of the NAACP in Texas over a period of eleven years. In 1944 Mrs. Craft became the first black woman in Dallas County to vote. She was appointed Youth Council advisor of the Dallas NAACP in 1946. Her work with the youth unit became a prototype for other NAACP youth groups throughout the country, as she challenged a series of educational barriers. She died in Austin in 1985.
On this day in 1939, the saxophonist and composer Herschel Evans died of heart disease in New York City. Evans, a native of Denton, Texas, was only thirty at the time of his death, but had already established a formidable reputation in the jazz world. His cousin Eddie Durham, himself a legendary musician, convinced a young Evans to switch from alto to tenor sax. After spending some years in Kansas City, Evans returned to Texas in the 1920s. By the mid-1930s he was a featured soloist with Count Basie's big band, and his musical duels with Lester Young, as on the Basie hit "One O'Clock Jump," are considered jazz classics. Evans also recorded with Teddy Wilson and composed the hit songs "Texas Shuffle" and "Doggin' Around." He was a major influence on such later tenor players as Illinois Jacquet and Arnett Cobb.

Re: Call of Duty: World at War Offical Feedback Thread
You suspect wrong and what you know about cod games could be written on the back of a postage stamp.
What makes CoDWW good on public is what will be stripped for competition use, thus as a result taking the only thing thats good about the game to try and make it better will fail.

GOOD COMPANY; Bam! Crak! It's a Power Player's Party
By SUSAN CAMPOS
Published: October 19, 2003
LOS ANGELES— THE sisters Suzanne and Jennifer Todd have produced movies like ''Memento,'' ''Austin Powers,'' and ''If These Walls Could Talk 2.'' They also produce parties.
There was the bachelorette party, which included a scavenger hunt that sent guests to be photographed on the field at Dodger Stadium. The surprise birthday that turned into a casino night complete with blackjack, roulette and craps. And their famous holiday gift that 200 people receive -- a volume they compile on where to go, where to stay and what to eat around the world. ''If I ever need anything, from a plumber to a diamond jeweler, I call them,'' said Natalie Garner, a fashion designer and the wife of Todd Garner, a partner at Revolution Studios.
Recently they've added another event to their arsenal: once a week, at Suzanne Todd's Beverly Hills home, a group of agents, entertainment executives and certain wives of Hollywood moguls gather to eat dinner and play mah-jongg. A few weeks ago, women began arriving at 7 p.m., and soon a collection of the latest bags from Prada, Gucci and Marc Jacobs -- along with one coveted black Murakami Louis Vuitton handbag -- were crowding each other out on a white overstuffed sofa. Cocktails were offered immediately, but there were few takers. ''The first night everyone drank, but not on the second night,'' said Suzanne Todd. ''They all wanted to stay sharp.''
By 7:30, 20 women were assembled around five tables, and the sound of clacking porcelain tiles filled the air. ''I really haven't seen this mix anywhere else,'' said Barbara Grushow, the wife of Sandy Grushow, the Fox Entertainment chairman. ''Everyone knows who everyone is, but in that room it doesn't matter what your husband does or your title.'' Never mind that these women could package, develop, produce and even score a movie.
After about an hour, the guests headed for a buffet table filled with salad, tamales, pasta, fried chicken and mysterious chili sauce. ''Whatever it is, put it on everything,'' one guest ordered.
When Suzanne Todd started the mah-jongg nights four months ago, everyone sat down for dinner, but the formality has devolved, and now most people mingle as they eat. ''The thing about the food at mah-jongg night versus really having a dinner party is that generally no one cares about it,'' Suzanne Todd said. ''Most of the time people don't even want to stop to eat.''
By 9 o'clock people were playing again, some for stakes. ''We prefer to play for money,'' said Eve Gerber, the wife of Billy Gerber, the producer and a former head of Warner Brothers production. Though she added, ''We can barely buy a Starbucks with the winnings.''
As for networking, it seems to happen incrementally. When they were both just learning to play, Anne Globe, a product placement executive at DreamWorks, met Laura Wasserman, a music supervisor and wife of the late Lew Wasserman's grandson. The two soon realized they had projects to discuss, and exchanged cards immediately. ''We've gotten together twice since we've met,'' Ms. Globe said.
Others choose not to multitask. ''If you want to win there's no time for networking,'' said Angela Janklow Harrington, an executive at Dolce & Gabbana and the granddaughter of the director Mervyn LeRoy.
Ms. Janklow Harrington is fairly new to the game, but has vivid memories of her grandmother playing mah-jongg. She said her father, the literary agent Morton Janklow, was shocked to learn his daughter was playing his mother's game. ''My grandmother played all the time; I think that's all they did for about five decades,'' she said with a laugh. ''Then it sort of segued into pinochle, then into knitting and then into 'Jeopardy!' ''
It was now bedtime for Suzanne Todd's 4-year-old son, Hunter, who came down to say good night and show off a little mah-jongg knowledge of his own. ''Green dragon, four bam, two crak,'' he shouted out.
Suzanne Todd shrugged. ''My mother plays, my husband plays and my other sister plays; everyone I know plays,'' she said.
By 10 p.m. most but not all of the guests were ready to call it a night. Jennifer Todd sees it every week. ''I think it's funny when I leave and I call Suzanne before I'm going to bed and there are still seven women playing mah-jongg.'' It isn't unusual for those last stragglers to stay well past midnight.
''It's like eBay,'' Suzanne Todd said. ''Don't go there unless you're willing to stay.''

Lewis Hamilton loses Spanish pole because of rules on fuel
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has been excluded from qualifying at the Spanish Grand Prix after stopping his car out on the track at the end of qualifying .
Hamilton qualified on pole but will start from the back of the grid.
He was told to stop because there was insufficient fuel in the car for him to get back to the pits and provide a sample, as required by the rules.
The stewards rejected McLaren's argument that not putting enough fuel in the car was "force majeure".
Rules on fuel
Article 6.6.2 of the technical regulations: "Competitors must ensure that a one litre sample of fuel may be taken from the car at any time during the event.
"Except in cases of force majeure (accepted as such by the stewards of the meeting), if a sample of fuel is required after a practice session the car concerned must have first been driven back to the pits under its own power."
The F1 rules require the car to return to the pits with one litre of fuel on board - running less fuel gives a performance advantage.
Although in this case the advantage gained in no way accounted for Hamilton's 0.578-second advantage over second placed Pastor Maldonado of Williams, the stewards felt they had to penalise McLaren.
Their ruling said: "A team member had put an insufficient quantity of fuel into the car, thereby resulting in the car having to be stopped on the circuit in order to be able to provide the required amount for sampling purposes.
"The fuel rig guy put the rig on, but he had the handle set to drain fuel. He discovered his mistake and switched it to put fuel in the car. But as a result he didn't put as much fuel in it as he should have. You have to be able to drive back to the pit-lane and have one litre of fuel left for the FIA to test. He went across the start-finish line 20 seconds before the chequered flag but if they had sat in the garage for three or four more seconds to get more fuel in, they still would have had time to cross the line and complete another flying lap. Sometimes I don't think McLaren think on their feet."
"As the amount of fuel put into the car is under the complete control of the competitor, the stewards cannot accept this as a case of force majeure."
A McLaren statement said: "We accept that the stewards did not agree with our interpretation of force majeure. Our aim is now to maximise the points we can score."
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh had argued that the size of the margin was a reason for Hamilton to be allowed to keep his position.
"It was a massive margin by the situation within F1 at the moment and he undoubtedly deserves to be there," Whitmarsh said.
McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe later tweeted: "To all our fans: so sorry about this error. We are more gutted than anybody. An amazing performance by Lewis throughout Q, ruined."
Hamilton said: "Today's qualifying session was one of the best I've ever driven - the whole car was just rolling so smoothly - it felt fantastic.
"To hear that I'd been excluded from qualifying, was of course extremely disappointing.
"Looking ahead I think it's clear that it's going to be an incredibly tough race for us. Even so, as always, I'll never give up and I'll give it everything I've got. Whatever grid position I start a Grand Prix from, I'll always race my heart out."
The decision gives Venezuelan Maldonado the first pole position of his career, with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso promoted to second place.
The rules on fuel were changed by F1's governing body, the FIA, after a similar problem with Hamilton's car at the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix .

Slow Food in Porto Alegre
02 Mar 12
"Promoting sustainable development means extending the mechanisms of social participation, reinforcing our democracy, defending our values and our cultural specificity." So said Brazil's president, Dilma Rousseff speaking in Porto Alegre about sustainable development, the main theme of the UN conference Rio+20, to be held in the country this coming June.
The Brazilian head of state was one of the guests of the Thematic Social Forum, "Capitalist Crisis, Social and Environmental Justice," held in Porto Alegre at the end of January, in which Slow Food also participated, advocating the significance of food in a sustainable future.
Over 40,000 participants, including NGO representatives, union members, associations and activists from around the world attended six days of meetings and debates during the event put together by the organizers of the World Social Forum, founded in 2001 in Porto Alegre.
The Forum was created to inspire debate between the many different strands in the Brazilian, Latin American and global movement for social change (unions, associations, NGOs, etc.). The aim is to define shared positions and forms of communication, dialog and protest prior to the Peoples Summit, to be held in Rio de Janeiro at the end of June at the same time as Rio+20. The joint demands will be presented at the Peoples Summit, and the attending countries and the United Nations will be asked to respond to 20 years of broken promises and unfulfilled commitments.
Slow Food held a conference entitled Slow Food International and Good, Clean and Fair Development. "We thought it was important that we gave our contribution on the theme of sustainable development, which will be the focus of Rio+20 and is also the fundamental objective of all our actions. To Slow Food, sustainable development must pass first of all through food, through a new model for food production that respects the knowledge and traditions of local communities, people and the environment, flavors and the landscape. We have presented projects from our network as concrete examples, in the hope that they can act as a driving force for a wider change, seeds from which a cleaner and fairer world will grow."

There have been calls recently from predictable sources demanding tougher regulations for genetically engineered crops, but even the briefest glance suggests these alarums are unwarranted, writes Val Giddings.

Paula Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, are being sued for sexual harassment by a former employee of Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House in Savannah, Georgia.
Lisa Jackson served as the General Manager for the restaurant between 2005 and 2010 and claims Hiers, who owns the restaurant with Deen, would often bring "inescapable pornography" to work, while also visiting pornographic websites on the kitchen computer.
Jackson says Hiers even once asked her to bring him a picture of herself when she was younger, saying "You have nice legs." She claims that he also once kissed and spit on her.
In one incident, Hiers allegedly referred to two female employees as "fat girls" and said they shouldn't wear carpi pants or skirts. In addition to those and other sexual comments he made, Hiers was heard using hateful language and would often make racist jokes.
Reps for Deen and Hiers have yet to comment on the situation.
Image Sources:
March 6, 2012
Of course her brother's name is Bubba.
March 6, 2012
Why is Paula's picture at the top of this article, did SHE bring porn into the kitchen?
Also unsure how the "fat girls" comments were sexually harassing. Not a nice thing to say, (not necessarily untrue though, either...I certainly would have expected my boss to let me wear a muscle t-shirt around guests, I can accept that I ain't built for it, lol.)
So the GM put up with this for 5 years, quit in 2010, and is just now (when...jeepers...Paula's already in the headlines) to bring this up...
*Cough cough* GOLDDIGGER *Cough cough*
Lastly, just from one writer to another...the line should read, "Once, (JACKSON CLAIMS) Hiers even asked Jackson to bring him a picture of herself..."
What you wrote, if found to be untrue, or unprovable, is libel, as you state it as fact.
The whole sentence following "In addition" is libel, as well.

Intel Buys Embedded Specialist Wind River
Chipmaker Intel has paid around $900 million for Wind River's know-how in things embedded and mobile.
Intel is taking over 100% of the Wind River stock, which at $11.50 per share comes to $884 million. The California software company will bring its knowledge of embedded and mobile systems under Intel's aegis. Taking over as its new chief is Renee James, vice president and general manager of Intel's Software and Services Group, according to Intel's press release.
Embedded systems and mobile devices are by Intel's account one of their largest growth factors. The market sector includes mobile Internet devices (MIDs), smart phones, and infotainment devices for the auto industry. These devices have been a hotspot for Intel over the last few years, notably through its past ownership of Moblin and its participation with BMW in the Genivi project. Wind River was also working with some customers on adapting Android, such as for Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform.

I've got a lot of time for Danny Seth, he's a very dope MC from London who clearly traverses in his own lane. His name has been ringing out for a while, but I first caught up with him at SXSW 14, since then he's been on my show a few times, dropped a killer verse on G Eazy's album, and he's on the constant grind, performing, recording, connecting.
April 15th is a pivotal moment for Danny and his team as he launches his highly anticipated 'Perception' project with a very exclusive show at the Courtyard, London. This is a very special Arrival night and we are doing this one for free. In order to get involved sign up for tickets here.

Child Support over 21,000.00

Why haven't you done your part as a father? You had millions of chances and you blew every single one of them away. You got certified mail. I hope you report and if you don't you will pay either way like it or not. You might be a deadbeat, a has been and a never was but you are going to be paying this until the world ends. You created your own debt and it's time for you to step up and be a man for at least one of your many kids.
You had your fun, you had your time now it's time for you to pay every single cent you owe.
You will be arrested if you fail to appear in court and answer this complaint sign sealed and delivered to your mailbox.
You can NOT avoid it. You can't deny it. You have NO excuses in this matter and it's sad how you left all your kids to suffer.
A real dad(father) would have sent a recycles piece of paper for a birthday card for their child. You reap what you sow. You made your bed now sleep in it and deal with like a REAL man and take care of the debt damage you created.
#2 Apr 8, 2013
Pay up or go to jail and do not pass go and do not collect 200.00
#3 Apr 8, 2013
I am in child support debt the same amount.......why do men think they have options we do not have? BTW Tony won't answer this...if he even bothers to read it........he yells at me if I mention it
#4 Apr 9, 2013
I hear what your saying but he has no choice, he will have to answer to the judge in court and if he fails to report to court he will be locked up. Also, whether he shows up or not the child support will be increased and taken out his check automatically. I am not playing games especially when it comes to our son.
With all due respect, Tony had 21 years to get his act together, to be frank here (blunt) he still has not got his life together and sadly to say he never will.
Granted our son is 21 now but I sill support him, with college expenses, and everything he needs. I'm a good mother and I always take care of my kids. I would never treat my kids the way he treats his own.
The fact of the matter is we have a son and he needs to step up and do what's right and needed.
We are not getting any younger here and it costs money taking care of kids. Just because our son is 21 does not mean Tony and I are done as parents.
The 21,000.00 debt would have never happened if Tony was working and reporting his income when he did.
I am not doing anything wrong here. This is not personal it's about our son and that's it.
So like I said the court date has already been set up and if he fails to report it's totally out of my hands. No pun intended on him.
Now what really bothers me about him is how he recently tried to jeopardize my freedom by making several phone calls to my PO. That was not cool. especially since our son lives with me and I support him 150%.
It's wrong of him to do what he has done to me and our son. Honestly Heather I don't know how he sleeps at night knowing all these facts.
Well I have to go. It's time for him to buckle down. He had plenty of time to get his child support caught up.
I do not care what excuses he will come up with either. I'm done talking to him and unfortunately so is our son.
Take care of yourself and your kids
#5 Apr 20, 2013
You ladies make me sick. My ex wife owes over 30k in back child support going all the way back to 2002. She's been in and out of jail for drug and child support offenses. So the fact you continue to bash "men" for "not being fathers", it's not just deadbeat fathers, but also mothers too.
#6 May 2, 2013
Shut the heck up who asked you for your stinking two cent opinion? I never said all men are deadbeats, read it again it's in PLAIN ENGLISH!!
I am a woman of true words and I have spoken shut up!

Everyone needs to get a life because Patty "Patricia" had a child support court order on Antonio back in 2002 and Antonio was working at the time in Atlantic City. He failed to report income and failed to pay child support. Patty is not white trash all these comments about her are straight bullshit. Antonio took a gun from a police officer and beat him up and served time in prison and used to write Patty and cried in all his letter like a bitch. He is paying her child support that come right out his Social Security Check your facts people he owes her. Se did raise her son and Antonio was never there deadbeat. Heather tried to get her locked up by calling her parole officer and Patty took Heather to court and Heather acted like she did not know what was going on. So who is the stupid ass now. Keep Patty out your mouth

Single-minded: Meetup group, ministry help Christian adults find friendships and things to do
TV commercials are constantly badgering us to get "connected." Family, friends, fellow Frisbee players — whatever. Buy this device! Use this social-media outlet!
With digital connections taking over society, it's appropriate that some people are using them to fill the voids that technology helped to create. That applies to the faith community as well.
Where Christian singles used to count on finding friendship — and more — in a singles ministry at church, now they're turning to social-networking sites such as Meetup.com. One local Meetup group, 2Gather, prides itself on offering fun activities that can lead to lasting friendships.
"I haven't really found too much in the romantic possibility, but friendships I certainly have," says Michael Koehler, who joined the group late last year. "I've met a lot of really nice people. They're welcoming, easy to talk to and funny, so it's really been a good experience for me."
Koehler, 29, also appreciates the group's "nice, clean fun."
"I don't smoke, I don't drink and I don't necessarily like parties or whatever, so the idea of going to a Meetup group where I knew most likely the other people there wouldn't be drinking heavily or anything like that drew me," he says.
The 2Gather group is a complement to church activities, says Bonnie May.
"It allows me to associate with other people of like faith who are not people I go to church with," says May, who has been active with the group for about two years. "I hear about things that are going on at other churches that I might want to go to that I would otherwise never hear about."
May says the group has a "good cross-section" of different denominations and ages.
Meetup allows people to find groups in their area that focus on things in which they're interested. There are groups dedicated to a variety of activities, philosophies and faiths. Often, people will join more than one Meetup group.
"I was recommended to it by another person I work with," says May, 27. "She was single and trying to get involved. She got involved in a hiking group. I went on the site and found the Christian singles group."
May also joined the Active 20|30 Somethings group.
"They both do some of the same types of activities, like go to the movies or go whitewater rafting," she says.
In the 1970s and '80s, the label "single" had an alluring ring corresponding to a huge demographic, and churches went out of their way to pull people into their singles programs, but it's different today.
"We do have classes listed as singles classes, if that is what people consider themselves to be," says David Harkins, missions pastor at Sevier Heights Baptist Church. "But they're part of the overall Sunday School department."
"We don't really have a singles-focused ministry," says Martha Atkins, who is in charge of small groups at Powell Church.
Church Street United Methodist is one of the few churches to create a strong singles ministry that has lasted.
"I do a monthly newsletter for this group, and they've got all kinds of stuff going on," says Caroline Lamar, the church's communications director. The singles do a lunch bunch, bike rides, yoga, dances, retreats and service projects. Interestingly, the Internet also plays a role in the group's success.
"We do the newsletter through (the website) Constant Contact," says Lamar. "I think there are about 450 emails on that email list."
One of the popular singles activities at Church Street is done in conjunction with 2Gather. 2Gather organizer Jowee Secore says they heard that the church had a regular games night and asked if they could join forces. Now, more than two dozen singles meet the third Friday of each month for a potluck dinner and board games.
Secore, 39, started out as a regular member of the group, but his involvement made him the natural choice for leader when the original organizer left after getting engaged. Secore started looking for Meetup groups after six months of sitting around after a divorce.
"When I decided to come out of my shell, I wasn't searching for a singles group," says Secore, who changed the name from Knoxville Christian Singles to 2Gather. "I was searching for a Christian group that did stuff, an activity group."
He tries to plan events that give people time to interact, but he discourages participants from coming in with the goal of finding a life mate.
"It's like, 'Chill out; become friends first. Let's hang out, have some fun,'" he says.
That philosophy appeals to May.
"I have met somebody there before that I have gone out with a few times," she says. "I don't go into it with that intention because I think that puts a lot of pressure on myself. To me, it's a very safe place for me to go and not feel like I'm always on guard."
Koehler joined 2Gather after realizing that he was spending too much time watching TV and playing video games because all of his friends were getting married and had little time to hang out.
"It's good to force yourself to go out there and, even if you're uncomfortable, start trying to do different things," he says.
Secore likes to stay busy and to help people.
"Life is too short to not be having a good time," he says.

Back pain can interfere with every day tasks. These exercises will help stretch and strengthen the back to relieve pain.
Back pain can be caused by sitting for long periods of time or an injury. Sometimes, a few simple back exercises can help relieve the pain. If you have back problems now or have had them in the past, you will want to check with your health care practitioner before doing any of these exercises.
Hamstring stretches can stretch the back and relieve back pain. Start by lying on your back with one knee bent. Grasp both ends of a towel or other piece of material and place the middle part of it under the ball of your foot on the bent leg. Now, while pulling back on the towel, slowly straighten your leg. As soon as you feel a slight stretch at the back of your leg, hold for 15 to 30 seconds. Return to the starting position. Do this three to five times then switch legs.
Press-up back extensions are good back strengthening exercises. To do these, lie on your stomach with your hands under your shoulders with your palms on the floor. You can also rest your forearms on the floor if this is more comfortable for you. Push down with your hands until your shoulders begin to lift off the floor. Hold this position for a few seconds, then slowly lower yourself back to the floor. Repeat three to five times.
Lie on your back and cross one leg over the other. Pull your knees towards your chest until you feel a slight stretch. Hold this position for a few seconds, then switch legs and repeat this exercise three to five times.
This exercise may look sort of funny, but it's very effective. Get on your hands and knees. Tighten your tummy muscles as you lift one leg off the floor and stretch it out behind you. Hold this position for about five seconds, then switch legs and repeat the routine.

The Police, all over the world, are known as peace officers. They are responsible for maintaining law and order wherever they are found. Invariably, the men and women specially trained to keep the peace, have also been a major source of serious conflicts in many societies.
In the late 1980s, Stoke Newington Police Station in London, for instance, was cited as running a notorious drug cartel aimed specifically at implicating young black men. The system worked like this.
When a black person was arrested in connection with any crime and sent to Stoke Newington Police Station, hard drugs were planted on the unsuspecting victims by officers in uniform and implicated in serious drug offences.
It took intensive media investigations to uncover the plot. When the police cover was blown, it led to major changes in police operations and race relations in Her Majesty's Great Britain.
In Ghana, the Police have always come under suspicion in the way officers handle narcotic issues, especially how hard drug exhibits were handled and disposed of. The arrest, prosecution and eventual dismissal of Deputy Superintendent of Police, Gifty Mawuenyegah Tehoda from the service have opened the Pandora Box.
The former Police officer has penned a petition to President John Dramani Mahama, making series of allegations that have the tendency of bringing the reputation of the service and some of the leading personnel tumbling down.
Mrs. Tehoda claims in her petition that certain officers of the service indeed swapped the cocaine exhibit that turned into baking soda and created so much tension in society recently.
The former officer claimed in her petition that the original exhibits were sold in Accra's drug underworld for $19,000. Apart from naming the officer in charge, Mrs. Tehoda also provided the name of the main link between the Police Service and the underworld trade in narcotic drugs in Accra. One of the leading drug dealers in the underworld was also named.
The Chronicle would like to believe that in spite of the demanding nature of the electoral campaign, which has taken much of his time, President John Dramani Mahama would spare a thought for drug peddling in the country, which is threatening to bring the reputation of Ghana into disrepute.
We would like to believe that the petition from the dismissed police officer constitute enough grounds for a highly-powered investigations into the Police Service to enable the service clean its image.
As it is, the Police Service and its top personnel have come under a cloud of suspicion. If the person who keeps the keys to the rooms that drug exhibits are kept is suspected to have been the same officer who would break into the vaults and take away drug exhibits and sold in the open market in Accra, then we all have a very serious problem to deal with.
The Chronicle is surprised by the cemetery silence that has greeted the serious allegations against very senior officers of the Police Service. We are gradually coming to the conclusion that there is more to the police and drug dealings than meet the eye.
President Mahama has a duty to the state to help unravel the mystery. A wide-ranging commission of enquiry will help cure the Ghana Police of its drug-related illness.

This is my daily foundation. It does not oxidize and turn orange; the color is a perfect match for my skin; it has fantastic buildable coverage; and looks completely natural. It's not cakey, and a little bit goes a long way. It's expensive, but it lasts so long it's totally worth it. Non-comedogenic and safe for acne prone skin. I love this foundation!

I like this product. It's a bit pricey but I do believe that high-end foundation is unlikely to oxidize, which was one of my biggest problem with other drugstore foundation. And really, this product doesn't oxidize. It's easy to apply with kabuki brush. If I want more coverage, I apply it more. But the max coverage it can do didn't give me medium to full coverage. I still can see my acne scars, they are just not red like when I didn't wear this product. I usually use this over my moustouriser. It shines at my face because I hear this product contain crushed pearl. It is not matte. But I think it makes my face glowing and look younger. Even though after few hours my face still get oily and I have to blot it. And this product doesn't make me break out.

I've now come to the conclusion that Laura Mercier face products and myself are just not meant to be. They just never work for me and this mineral powder regrettably, was not an exception. I bought this mineral powder cause my favourite youtuber, Estée from essiebutton raves about this powder and we like a lot of the same face products so I thought I'd give this a go. I bought it for $42+ tax at Sephora in Canada in the shade Soft Porcelain. The shade selection for fair skinned girls has to be the best thing about this powder. I rarely find foundations that are light enough for my porcelain skin in the winter and this one matches it perfectly. First off, the packaging sucks. I cannot believe that for $42, Laura Mercer didn't put this powder in a smoked glass jar, but instead put it in smoked plastic. If Revlon can turn profit putting their products in plastic jars, so can Laura Mercier- no excuses. The next thing which doesn't work about this powder is application. As with every face product I test, I try applying it and using it in every way known to mankind as I did with this one as well. Water based primer, silicone based primer, no primer, 4 different moisturizers, kabuki brush, stippling brush, beauty blender, paddle brush, round kabuki, flat kabuki, angled kabuki, I could just not get this stuff to not apply super patchy with the first few times resulted in me using way more product than was necessary. Now when it is on my face for the first hour in the areas it did apply evenly to, the powder looks beautiful. It provides me with medium coverage, gives me skin the most gorgeous radiance finish- it looks completely airbrushed and my dry, dead, flaking skin looks healthy for once! But literally an hour later, it is mostly gone and the little that remains of the powder has settled in to my smile lines and girl, I'm only 17, this should not be happening to a baby faced, wrinkle- free teen. I tried the powder on my mom just to add a bit more coverage to her liquid foundation and it settled in to all the lines on her face within a matter of minutes. Yikes.... I wouldn't say that this powder has no redeeming qualities because the porcelain shades and the finish of this powder are completely flawless but I could not for the life of me, get it to apply evenly or last. This powder seems to have clearly worked for quite a few people so don't lose complete faith in it after reading this review but it didn't work for me and I will be going back to Sephora for a refund.

Firstly, does anyone else find that this sits in fine lines? I haven't had this problem with Bare Minerals but this does seem to accentuate fine lines on me. Having said that, I do prefer the coverage it gives, especially over my melasma; I barely have to conceal it after applying the powder. And ignoring the fine lines issue I'm having, the overall effect is definitely far more dewy and natural than bare minerals which always looks good when I apply it but seems to oxidise and turn me into an oompah loompah as the day wears on! I should also add that on the second day of wearing this I was asked for ID buying alcohol (you have to be 18 here in the uk). The girl who asked for my ID was probably 20/21 years old and her face was a picture when she studied my ID and realised I was actually 36! So maybe I'm being a bit paranoid about the lines....
As far as application goes, this is really easy to blend on my face. I did find that the perfectionist in me wasn't happy with the initial application and so I found myself layering more on. But purely by chance, my phone rang after the first application the other day, which meant I went back to the mirror after about 5 minutes and found that the product seemed to have settled into my skin better and didn't require that second application that I'd been doing. So now I just put one application on and then wait for the magic to happen!
As far as packaging goes, this is also much better than Bare Minerals. A nice big pot that you can really swirl the product in, and the twist lid doesn't cake up and jam like the bare minerals does.
I have said that I will buy this product again, and I would, despite the fine line's issue I'm having. I think I just need to amp up my moisturising a bit - I tend to suffer from dry skin on my face and I think it's just getting worse with age. But despite my dry skin, this does leave a really dewy/glowy look on my face. I actually thought it was making my skin oily when I first started using it - which pleased me no-end (dry skin sucks!), but then I realised that it just gives me a luminous glow which isn't glittery or fake in any way.
So to sum up, I do actually love this foundation. Within a week of using it I've been age checked, and had a few people tell me that my skin looks great. My boss even asked me if I'd changed my makeup because my skin was looking so radiant (I'm known for my skin issues....I must obsess more than I thought about it!)
EDIT: I should say I've only given this 3 lippies at the moment because of the fine line issue and if anyone else is like me they start with the less than perfect reviews to find out what the issues are. I'm going to try hydrating my face a bit more and will see if it makes a difference, so I'll update when I've given that a go.

my holy grail mineral foundation. the powder is the creamiest and most finely milled out of all the mineral foundations i've used, and extremely airy and lightweight. covers minor redness and undereye darkness with just a sheer layer and can be built up to a fuller coverage with one more layer. only complaint is that none of the colors matches me perfectly, i'm golden fair in bareminerals original, 117 in MUFE HD, porcelain in laura mercier tinted moisturizer, the shade soft porcelain is just a lil too light and not yellow enough, real sand is too dark/orange, rose tender although i never tried is obviously pink. i would mix the two but just can't be bothered on some mornings. it has a pearlescent sheen to it, when i look in the mirror in sun light i can see tiny shimmer particles, but it's more natural than bareminerals original with that almost metallic sheen if you buff too much. tried laura mercier mineral foundation primer(the one that comes in a tube) with the powder but that did nothing and kind of drying my skin out, so now i just apply it on top of sunscreen, it blends easily too. rescently bought a new jar but the packaging doesn't state spf15 like it used to.

I've been using this powder for a couple of years now and I swear by it. Seriously, much better than any other mineral foundation I've ever tried. The price is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for, and there is a lot of product in the containers. They usually last me about 3-4 months, and I use it almost every day and use kind of a lot, since I use it as my foundation.
I have really sensitive, normal-dry skin, that breaks out if I try anything new. This never once broke me out, and covered up my red cheeks in a really natural way. Doesn't settle and get blotchy like some other makeups do.
I highly recommend this, and wish I had all the money in the world to buy LM products.

I LOVE this foundation. I recently switched from liquid to powder.
-Dont need alot to get full coverage look; a little goes a long way
-covers blemishes and dark scarring without using concealer.
-Has a matte finish with a soft glow (not over shimmery).
-Had no negative reaction to this product
-Never feel like I have it caked on nor does it look cakey even after my face gets oily
I get pretty nervous using a new product because I don't just break out here and there I will break out in a painful rash of small under the skin pimples and all over my face or I'll get big painful cystic acne. My skin is so sensitive I can not use Aveeno, Cetaphil and can no longer use Simple face wash.
OIL AT BAY: IDK if this product has an ingredient that helps with oil control but it's not getting as oily as quickly as it used to. It's not advertised as so. My skin care routine seems to be working with my skin issues and my skin has cleared up in no time.
Routine: Olay foaming face wash sensitive skin morning&night
Palmer's skin success fade cream at night
Simple light moisturizer in the morning
Almay Luminous CC primer before applying make up
Advisement: after years of having problem skin I realized that some product dont mix well with others and can cause additional oiliness/dryness/ irritation. As you can see in my routine I use no products that are for controlling acne and my face now seems to be doing fine.

Got it as a foundation after my skin recovers from irritation. the powder itself is soft and silky on the skin, a tiny bit is enough for a medium coverage. it contains shimmers that leaves the right amount of sheen to the skin but not shiny. I use a kabuki brush for the face and a small fluffy brush for spot concealing under the eyes and scarring. I love it for a natural every day look for school. It cuts down the time for foundation. Given the amount of product, it would last for a long time and it definitely worth the try. I heard complaints of this highlighting pores, therefore Girls with larger pores might need a pore-minimizing primer and more buffing in.

Let me give you a bit of background - In just over 2 years I have bought this powder 3 times, using it EVERYDAY to either set make up or wearing it alone. It last the longest I've ever known a make up product to last for.
This powder is amazing, although it's slightly pricy (at around $40 after tax)... When finishing up my last pot I decided to buy Mac's mineralise skin finish natural as it was cheaper and I couldn't face paying the money for the LM one. Although I really liked the Mac one at first, I have now decided enough is enough and I purchased my 4th tub, LM you are now back in my life. (Prompting me to write this review)
I cannot believe I ever strayed away!! Seriously girls, this mineral powder gives you absolutely flawless coverage, its slightly luminous (no glitter or sparkle though… *shudder*), last all day and I mean ALL DAY. Its never cakey, doesn't cling to dry patches, very pigmented and soft and doesn't clog pores.
Its seriously the best mineral powder I've tried, it as very few ingredients which makes it good for my sensitive skin.
And for reference I either use it alone when I can't be um bothered…. But I do prefer it to set my foundation (I'm a full coverage kind of girl). I use the TINIEST amount and buff it over my face with a real techniques large powder brush. And like I said the only word to describe it is flawless!
(PS packaging only got 3 lippies as its so bulky, but then I suppose it is a loose powder)

I love this product. I apply it over the tinted moisturizer. It provides the perfect coverage for my slightly dry over 40 complexion. I was having a terrible time find a foundation that covered without drying my skin. Love it.
