By Gary Cokins, Founder of Analytics-Based Performance Management LLC
I hope that you enjoyed my last blog on the topic of modeling. Perhaps it gave you some cause for thought about the type of business models you use in your own performance management systems. In this blog I am turning my attention to decision management.
I like to think of myself as a technical person. We techie-types are fact-driven. We embrace technologies of all flavors including computer hardware, software, mobile devices, the Internet, and social media. We prefer tangible and hard evidence to support a position or argument. We like research studies and the use of analytics to gain insights and foresights as well as to solve problems and pursue opportunities. But darn it there are all those other types of personalities to that sometimes just seem to be in the way of us fact-oriented types.
Decision agreement – possibility or delusion?
Just consider the USA campaigns for President. Both candidates refer to studies by think tanks that contradict different studies or surveys. Imagine if these think tank research teams were forced to be in a room and not emerge until they reconcile their data and assumptions and instead were forced to reconcile their results and conclusions. My imagination would lead me to believe that they could never emerge with a common agreement. Why? Because they are people with emotions, pre-conceived notions and positions about what is right or wrong.
So how do we resolve this? How do we use information that is unbiased to draw unarguable conclusions? Maybe it is not possible and is just a pipe dream. Maybe we might not want agreement because we always want open forums for debate regardless of the conflict and tension it creates. Argument can be good. It reveals ideas not previously considered.
There is hope
Inevitably, however, decisions must be made in order for any organization to advance and improve. One area of information management that has caught my eye is as the concept of "decision management systems" advocated by James Taylor, CEO of Decision Management Solutions. Taylor's belief is that traditional systems are too inflexible, fail to learn and adapt, and cannot apply analytics to take advantage of "Big Data." This is because traditional systems ignore decision-making and keep analytic systems separate from operational systems. He advocates decision management systems that are agile, analytic and adaptive.
Decision management systems make assessments based on an evaluation the interdependencies of variables such as time, quality, service level, capabilities, capacity, and cost. Cost is particularly relevant because money stated in financial terms, like the return on investment and spending is usually an overriding determinant of decisions.
Taylor defines decision management systems as being:
- Agile – so they can cope with rapidly changing business conditions and new regulations.
- Analytic – so they can leverage an organization's data to improve the quality and effectiveness of decisions.
- Adaptive – so they can learn from what works and what does not work to continuously improve over time.
In Taylor's mind the role of analysts, now popularly referred to as "data scientists," is to use business rules, data mining, analytics workbenches and optimization suites (that all leverage in-memory database technologies and high performance analytics) to build systems that manage decisions rather than making individual decisions themselves.
Technology is no longer the barrier
The challenges in implementing a decision management system are daunting. The least obstacle is technology which currently exists and is proven. Instead, the major obstacles are social and cultural barriers. We return to people. Leadership, so often mentioned as essential to drive change, will need to demonstrate more vision and inspiration. Exponentially increasing data mean C-suite executives can no longer make as many decisions alone as before. They still need to make the big strategic decisions, but need to let the other multitude of daily decisions be made by their workforce and partners.
The title of this blog is "The Soft Stuff is the Hard Stuff." Few of any of us were trained in the field of behavioral change management. We'll need to get better at it. Most likely this will come in the form of on-the-job training, but gaining competencies in it will be essential for any organization's performance improvement.
Look out for my next blog, in which I turn my attention to the annual budget.

The O Music Awards are full speed along and, 15 hours in, everyone still seems to be having fun! Don't believe me? Tune in now: the team is currently in Biloxi, Mississippi, poolside with a bunch of bikini clad girls and the Neon Trees, waiting for the Flaming Lips to set up for their sixth performance. Just nine hours, two cities, three more shows, and the record is theirs!
The Lips and friends seem, so far, to be having a blast. After kicking things off with a performance of their own (Show #1) and before bouncing from Memphis to city two, Wayne Coyne dropped in on Sun Studio where Karmin performed a stripped down version of their "Brokenhearted." Unlike the host, he did not know all the words, but the huge grin on his face suggests that he will soon enough. (Watch the video above.)
And forth into the evening, after a stop with Gary Clark Jr. in Clarksdale, Mississippi (Show #2), the band joined VH1 favorites Grace Potter & The Nocturnals for a show in Oxford (Show #3) and what could probably have sufficed for a full evening's mischief were there not more cities to stop in and shows to play and records to break. Together, they lit sparklers in abandoned gas station parking lots ("How could you have a better time than this," wonders a giddy Potter); sucked helium and sang Lionel Richie's "All Night Long"; and then played a little game Potter calls "Basic Instinct" wherein she attempts to tie-up Coyne with a long, silk scarf. "What happens then?" Coyne asked, sounding more bemused than concerned that, lashed down to the bus, he might miss the rest of his shows and fall short of his eight show goal. Five to go!
Luckily, he slips free in time to join Neon Indian in Jackson, Mississippi for Show #4. There, just ahead of sunrise, they revisited Lips classic, "Do You Realize" and sounded only a little bit tired. Not so bad! And then to Hattiesburg they went, to meet Hunter Hayes and to play "Do You Realize" again (Show #5). "You realize," he sings again, looking ever more disheveled but no less happy, "the sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round."
And the show goes on! Will they make it? Tune in now on OMusicAwards.com and you might catch the Lips live in Biloxi (Show #6; or at 3:45pm ET to see them in Baton Rouge; or for the grand finale, recording breaking Show #8 in New Orleans at 7pm ET. And all the while between, there are bus shenanigans and performances from Givers and Grimes. Don't miss a second!

Emraan Hashmi's recent run of success at the box office has people calling him 'Hit Man Hashmi' and the actor says it is better than being called serial kisser.
"It's better than serial kisser. Please give me that term ('Hit Man Hashmi'), and everyone use that because I am sick of 'serial kisser'. I think 'Hit man Hashmi' is something I would take right now. I can use it for my entire career," the 33-year-old said here.
Emraan's recent hit films include "The Dirty Picture", "Shanghai", "Jannat 2" and the most recent, "Raaz 3."
The actor's success ratio is being compared to that of Salman Khan, who has been ruling the box office with films like "Dabangg", "Bodyguard" and "Ek Tha Tiger". And Salman recently called Emraan the most underrated actor.
However, Emraan considers himself luckier than Salman.
"I think I am luckier because I am kissing and crossing that mark. I think I am luckier than Salman. He's very unfortunate he doesn't get to kiss," Emraan said.
Emraan is currently shooting for "Ek Thi Daayan" and romantic-comedy "Ghanchakkar".

|Phrozen, nemra, Cyberpsychooo, samicute, ffkhan, .Nabi.
his movie are based on reality. what ever he is doing that u must found in the society but no one accept the fact.
his movies always have sense and moral behind it
In his career not even a single movie got flop cause of his acting not because of kissing.
what the ... how can heh be luckier the salman khan just because he kisses on screen that just wrong
dont worry , ur true fans love u coz of ur acting n u r seriously way better than other soc alled actors in the industry right now... love u !
Sorry but I don't understand why a person is given such a tag because it is not up to him whether he should kiss or not - isn't that something that's written in the script and not in his control or are you guys saying he asks to do kissing scenes?
Edited on:21 September 2012 at 7:44am
He is a brilliant actor and a kisse too ;)
he is really talented as no one can do the roles which he has done...
yeah then he have to stop kiss scene
Then stop doing kissing scenes, if the 'serial kisser' tag matters that much to him.
awww poor guy and I guess the best thing for him to do in other to get the serial kisser tag off himself is to stop doing less kissing...not that I watched anything of him nor have I ever see him kiss.
Salman Khan's another move to remove obstacles between him and Shah ...
What made Salim Khan ask the makers to remove Bajrangi Bhaijaan song ...

The silver Star By Jeannette Walls Two girls strike out on their own across the country after their mother abandons them.
In fact, very few of the current Supremes were raised with a silver spoon.
He never lived to bury his parents, to see his daughter or his son marry, or to celebrate his silver wedding anniversary.
Old English seolfor, Mercian sylfur "silver; money," from Proto-Germanic *silubra- (cf. Old Saxon silvbar, Old Frisian selover, Old Norse silfr, Middle Dutch silver, Dutch zilver, Old High German silabar, German silber "silver; money," Gothic silubr "silver"), from a common Germanic/Balto-Slavic term (cf. Old Church Slavonic s(u)rebo, Russian serebro, Polish srebro, Lithuanian sidabras "silver") of uncertain relationship and origin. According to Klein's sources, possibly from a language of Asia Minor, perhaps from Akkadian sarpu "silver," literally "refined silver," related to sarapu "to refine, smelt."
As an adjective from late Old English (cf. silvern). As a color name from late 15c. Of voices, words, etc., from 1520s in reference to the metal's pleasing resonance; silver-tongued is from 1590s. The silver age (1560s) was a phrase used by Greek and Roman poets. Chemical abbreviation Ag is from Latin argentum "silver," from the usual PIE word for the metal (see argent), which is missing in Germanic.
"to cover or plate with silver," mid-15c., from silver (n.). Meaning "to tinge with gray" (of hair) is from c.1600. Related: Silvered; silvering.
silver sil·ver (sĭl'vər)
Symbol Ag
A lustrous ductile malleable metallic element having the highest thermal and electrical conductivity of the metals and used in dental alloys. Atomic number 47; atomic weight 107.868; melting point 961.8°C; boiling point 2,162°C; specific gravity 10.50; valence 1, 2.
Symbol Ag
A soft, shiny, white metallic element that is found in many ores, especially together with copper, lead, and zinc. It conducts heat and electricity better than any other metal. Silver is used in photography and in making electrical circuits and conductors. Atomic number 47; atomic weight 107.868; melting point 960.8°C; boiling point 2,212°C; specific gravity 10.50; valence 1, 2. See also sterling silver. See Periodic Table. See Note at element.
Wealthy; affluent: a silk-stocking neighborhood (1812+)
used for a great variety of purposes, as may be judged from the frequent references to it in Scripture. It first appears in commerce in Gen. 13:2; 23:15, 16. It was largely employed for making vessels for the sanctuary in the wilderness (Ex. 26:19; 27:17; Num. 7:13, 19; 10:2). There is no record of its having been found in Syria or Palestine. It was brought in large quantities by foreign merchants from abroad, from Spain and India and other countries probably.

I'm not trying to start any "oh this game's better than that" flame. EQ2 could be a very good game as far as gameplay goes, and I imagine since it is so popular that it is infact, a good game. What I can be sure of however, is the that EQII stutters like mad on a 6800 card. I don't know about you, but I find it very difficult to enjoy a game that stutters and chokes. Before I bought either game, I sat down and read the nvforum comments on them, and my decision to buy warcraft was based on the main reason that it didn't stutter, and you could concentrate on
having fun with the game
rather than dealing with a stutter. That's all I was trying to point out.

Victoria and Albert Museum: Ethical Fashion/Conscious Style
1 Recommendation
hanahula's recommendation
As we become more aware of the negative environmental impact of certain chemicals and materials used in design, the working conditions of those who mass-produce garments and the possibilities for reusing, recycling and rethinking these materials and processes, the term "ethical fashion" has become a part of our fashion vocabulary. The Victoria and Albert Museum's website offers a thorough introduction to the topic, including interviews with designers and links to websites of organizations committed to making "ethical fashion" more than just a buzz word.

Ann Everett Mott Williamson
Yazoo City
Ann Everett Mott Williamson died peacefully in her sleep at The Blake in Ridgeland, Mississippi. She was born June 10th, 1926 in Yazoo City, Mississippi to Norman Albert Mott and Mary Margaret Luckett Mott. Her siblings include her brother Norman A. Mott Jr. and her late sister Louise M. Yerger.
Ann was a vivacious woman who loved to regale her family with stories from her travels. She studied at many schools across the country, following her father from state to state as he served in the United States Army during
. Her adventurous spirit eventually led her to explore many foreign destinations, including Australia, New Zealand, Russia, China and many countries in Europe. She became a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority while attending
Louisiana State University
. She graduated from the University of Mississippi with a BA degree in Business Administration. Later she received a Masters in Education from Mississippi College and taught for many years in the Yazoo City public school system.
In 1949 she married Robert Chapman Williamson, who went by the name "Kit," a fellow graduate of the University of Mississippi who served three years in the United States Army, part of which was in the Pacific theatre. They had four children: Robert Chapman Williamson Jr. of Jackson, Ellen Williamson Meyer (Ray Meyer) of Atlanta, GA, Mott Williamson of Midland, TX and Mariann Williamson of Atlanta, Ga. Other survivors include her four grandchildren: Sarah Ann Williamson, Robert "Kit" Williamson III, Claire Williamson and George Williamson. Ann lived an amazingly full life.
She worked as a school
and as a
for the Yazoo City Herald, where her father was the owner and publisher. She was a devout Catholic, a
devoted mother, grandmother and a gracious host who strived for the quintessential Delta party.
Being an avid golfer and a tiger at bridge were among her favorite pastimes. She was a Lector and Eucharistic Minister at St. Mary's Catholic Church, a charter member of the Sarah Woolwine Circle of the International Order of King's Daughters, as well as a member of the Junior Auxiliary and the Ladies Golf Association.
Her family would like to express the deepest gratitude to Ann's devoted caregivers: Georgia Taylor, Shirley Burns, Katherine Cooper, Mattie Bracy, Maggie Williams, Genora Boddy, as well as the compassionate staff of The Blake at Township, Sta-Home Hospice and Gwen Windham, MD.
Visitation will be held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Yazoo City from 9:30-11:00 am, with services to follow at 11:00am and internment at Glenwood Cemetery. Stricklin-King Funeral Home will be handling the arrangements.

Feb. 15, 2011
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M Soccer head coach G Guerrieri signed a new contract with the university, which was approved by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents last week, extending his leadership of the team to the end of 2016. The contract is funded through gifts and revenues generated by the Department of Athletics.
Guerrieri (Tulsa '85) finished his 18th season with Aggie soccer in the fall, leading the team to its 11th Big 12 Championship and 16th NCAA Tournament berth. He holds an impressive 303-90-21 record at A&M since the program began in 1993. Under Guerrieri, the Aggie soccer program has earned a spot in the NCAA postseason for 16 consecutive seasons, advancing as far as the Elite Eight four times, and taking 10 trips to the Sweet 16.
"G has done a terrific job building our women's soccer program into one of the very best in the country," Texas A&M Director of Athletics Bill Byrne said. "He has done it with class and integrity and by bringing in quality young people who excel on the soccer pitch, as well as in the classroom and in our community."
With Guerrieri at the helm, the Aggies have been ranked among the top 10 in the nation every year since 1995. Texas A&M soccer has been a constant in the top 25 every week for the past 16 seasons. Guerrieri recently signed 10 high school seniors to national letters of intent, ranking No. 5 among recruiting classes in the U.S.
Guerrieri and his wife, the former Terri Markham, live in College Station with their three children - a daughter, Emily, and two sons, Alan and Conner.
The A&M soccer team continues its spring campaign Feb. 26 as it hosts Guerrieri's alma mater, Tulsa. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. at the Aggie Soccer Stadium. For more information on Aggie soccer, log on to AggieAthletics.com.

Maintaining a Positive Attitude in Challenging Situations Attracts
The Power of a Generally Positive Attitude
Success -- i.e. luck -- will flow in every direction when our attitude is generally positive. It not only brings us constant luck and leads us in the right direction, but it is infectious and affects others.
In the wonderful English story 'Pollyanna,' a young girl sees everything in a positive light, and as a result, everyone around her from the stodgy, grumpy, and cynical are charmed. In fact, their lives are suddenly turned around through the wisdom of this happy individual. That is the power of having a continuous positive attitude; that can-do spirit; that observance of life from the brighter and truer side. It even sees negative as positives in disguise; as great positive potential ready to burst forth.
Naturally, The Mother's Force gains special entry and has greater affectivity through such an instrument.
Power of Positive
Attitude in City of
Perhaps the most powerful way to evoke sudden good fortune is to shift your attitude from the negative to the positive. If you have a wanting attitude towards others, life, or your own self, and then reverse it, benefit will quickly come your way. Often it comes in an instant.
It turns out there is another way to evoke powerful life response through one's attitude. It is by maintaining a generally positive one. If for example, you are straining to accomplish something in your life, and yet you maintain a positive attitude that things will work out fine; that you will succeed, bringing a solid confidence to your efforts, life will conspire and give you all that you wished for and more.
There is a wonderful example of this life principle and dynamic in the American film City of Joy, which is set in India. In the story, Hasari Pal, an Indian farmer, arrives in Calcutta with his family, desperately seeking work. Lost in the teeming masses as they move about the city streets, Hasari is not only frantically looking for shelter, but is hoping to find any type of work to support his family.
At one point, Hasari is alone with one of his three children, and in a tender and inspiring moment one of them asks if he will ever find work. Hasari responds that he is fully confident he will find employment soon, despite what looks like a desperate situation. Quickly a series of dramatic events transpire, the end result of which is that within 24 hours he finds employment as a cart driver (a "human horse"), which gives him a source of employment for years to come, fulfilling his earlier wish and then some.
It turns out that Hasari's employment not only takes him off the street -- providing a comfortable place to live for his family -- but enable him to save for his daughter's dowry, who will marry into greater fortune for the family. In addition, through his job he is put in position to help overcome the wickedness of the local mafia boss and his cronies who dominate that part of the city, including the cab company he works for.
In other words, Hasari's focused intention in a desperate situation married to an enormously positive attitude attracts a result within a day that changes his life forever, affecting not only himself but the collectives he is part of. That is the power of taking to and maintaining a generally positive attitude towards the conditions one encounters. Life then instantly moves in favor, overcoming obstacles, while fulfilling your fondest dreams.
There are countless examples where a generally positive attitude attracted positive circumstance. Here are several:
One female business owner when confronted with difficulties or challenging situations, tended to take a positive, optimistic, calm, and forgiving view of things, which continually attracted their quick resolution, as well as unexpected, sudden surges in sales.
An individual who had deep admiration and positive attitude for the Indian people, and was always happy to speak with them through call centers constantly had positive experiences where the technical issues quickly disappeared.
A young English girl, who had the tendency to see everything in a positive light, not only charmed the stodgy, grumpy, and cynical around her, but through her positive attitude and influence, caused their lives to quickly turn around for the better.
A man at a family gathering did not give into others who were mocking a young woman's looks he once dated, attracting her sudden arrival as a now beautiful grown woman, which had the effect of causing another woman the man desperately loved to suddenly fall in love with him, which culminated in their happy marriage.
It is one thing to overcome one's own negative attitudes, and thereby attract sudden good fortune, it is another to maintain a positive attitude and do the same. In fact, each moment is an occasion for us to remain positive, cheerful, and confident, which will evoke the most positive results from the field of life. It is the miracle of "Life Response" in action.
Taking a Positive View of Things in 'House of Eliott'
In 'House of Eliott' one dimension of Life Response -- i.e. sudden good fortune -- is clearly revealed. It is the power of taking a positive attitude in a crossroad moment. E.g. on numerous occasions when Evie was confronted with a situation, serious or not so, we see that she takes the more positive, often optimistic point of view. Life immediately responds with positive results thereafter. Positive attitudes expressed as optimism, forgiveness, etc. attract powerful response from life. It happens in critical or the most mundane of situations.
In examining life response, one can readily see how a transition from a negative attitude to a neutral or positive one will attract life response. (E.g. in Pride and Prejudice we see Darcy, Eliza, and Mr. Bennet make such transitions.) Here in HofE we see quite clearly seen how simple moment to moment positive reactions and decisions to circumstance attract the sudden onset of positive conditions for that individual (including the collective they are part of). A situation presents itself as somewhat problematic, and the person has a positive take on things. Life responds with sudden good fortune. It is not a transition of that person's consciousness from the negative to the positive; but taking what could be deemed as a problematic situation, and taking the positive view of it. Such situations and the positive reactions and choices of individuals (in particular focusing on Evie here), and the powerful positive response of life is readily portrayed in HofE.
When there is a very difficult situation, and a person reacts to the intensity with calm and equality -- thereby attracting luck -- that is one thing; but the opportunity to take a positive view in common life experiences where there are lesser or greater challenges to ours sensibilities, is another. The latter occurs so much more often, and thus affords us endless possibilities to attract life response.
We could list out 10-20 of such circumstance in a day and see how we have reacted. We can learn from that. Then on another day we can make the effort to react positively in each of those situations, and see how life responds for us in the hours and days that follow. The response can even happen instantaneously.
Dan in Real Life
Life presents us with many challenges, some of which arise through negative circumstance. In particular, it can be quite difficult to remain positive when the social atmosphere is wanting -- e.g. if people around us are behaving in ways that are detrimental or even harmful. And yet those who are able to maintain the right outlook in these circumstances, who are immune to and do not participate in the negative social activity, gain an interesting power over life, as they tend to quickly attract positive conditions. Let me illustrate with a film I watched the other day.
In Dan in Real Life, Dan Burns is a newspaper advice columnist, a widower, and a father of three daughters in the New Jersey suburbs. One day Dan and his children take a trip to the Rhode Island home of his parents for their annual family get together. After they arrive at the large house, situated on a bluff overlooking the bay, Dan takes some time off and goes to a local bookstore. There he meets a woman named Marie who mistakes Dan for an employee. He then proceeds to gather up several books for her, and in the process, hits it off with her. Suddenly love blossoms.
When Dan arrives back at the house, he lets his family know that he has found a potentially very special person. They are thrilled to hear this since it has been three years since he lost his wife. However, a short while later, his brother's new girl friend arrives on the scene, and it turns out to be none other than Marie! She too was on her way to the family get together when she met Dan at the bookstore.
There then begins a tense situation in which his brother and Marie are somewhat romantically interacting at the home, even as Dan is now has fallen in love with her. After several days, the situation becomes unbearable for both. Because he appears so miserable, Dan's mother suggests that he call up a local girl on a blind date and ask her to come to the gathering. When the rest of the group learns that she is coming, they recall that she was a physically unattractive young girl, and so they begin mocking her for being an ugly duckling. At one point, they go as far as to launch into a rollicking, impromptu sing-along in which poke fun of "miss piggy face." All except Dan, that is.
A few minutes later, so-called ''piggy face" arrives at the house, and shockingly turns out to be a beautiful woman. Immediately, Dan and her are physically attracted to one another. As a result, Marie becomes very jealous, which has the further effect of turning the emerging, partial love she felt for Dan into a full-blown blossoming of her emotions. This in turn compels her to truly seek out the relationship with him, once she breaks off with his brother. In the end, Dan and Marie fall deeply love and are blissfully married.
The moral of the story? Because Dan did not give into and participate in the mocking sing-along of his soon to be arriving date ''piggy face," he attracted instead a beautiful woman. Furthermore, her arrival compelled Marie, the woman he loved, to commit to a relationship, which culminated in their marriage. That is the power of remaining positive in a negative situation -- in this case, in the face of social pressure to act falsely. The effect is that this person, the exception in the crowd, is propelled to the heights through complete emotional fulfillment. When we follow our own positive instincts and do not give into the social imperative of the herd, we release positive energies that attract the very best of conditions. In that way, we develop "true individuality," which tends to lure the infinite potentials of life in our direction.
Right Attitude that Attract Success with Indian Call Centers
W hile others have known the opposite, I have had very positive experiences with technical support originating in India. I can only attribute it to one thing; the deep respect I have had for the Indian people, and the close collaboration I have had with them in commerce and deed and thought.

W hen your have positive, supporting feelings towards others -- even if their capacities are limited -- positive circumstance will still invariably follow. That's because life always responds to your positive intentions and attitude with sudden good fortune. Hence the Indians have unfailing solved the most intractable of my technical problems. We can remember that lesson each time we interact with any person or party whose help we need; or for that matter, any problem or circumstance in life.

OldSchoolTama's Virtual Pet Log
Posted 12 May 2012 - 11:53 AM ( #361 )
15th Anniversary iD L
Took my guy to TamaX-TV for his costume change on the 5th. Introducing...Patchi Dancers!
He was ready to go to the matchmaker on the 6th after earning his last happy sign.
He and Himetchi were married.
They had a baby boy. I named him Patrick. He evolved into Ahirukutchi after an hour.
Tamagotchi iD L
I took my guy to the matchmaker on the 5th. He and Watawatatchi were married.
I named their baby girl Ryoko ("bright child"). Though I didn't get a picture of this happening, for some reason, she evolved into Paletchi after the hour.
On the 6th, she evolved into Sabosabotchi…again.
Rats! This is what I get for having such a hectic schedule: constant repetition of characters because I lose track of care misses/am under time constraints. I'll get better at it, I promise! Just need to get through this semester. I finish on the 17th, by the way.
Thanks for reading!

Posted 25 October 2012 - 04:07 PM ( #362 )
So I pretty much failed at logging during my last semester of nursing school, which went from June to mid-August. It was very hectic, but I've graduated with my second Bachelor's degree (yet another 4.0 GPA that term...good way to finish ), taken my state licensing exam, and am now a registered nurse. What have I been doing in the last couple of months after finishing that prevented me from logging, you say? Well, I'm currently working toward that perfect nursing career in the form of applying for jobs all over the state, volunteering, interviewing, and working related jobs that will be a stepping stone to that perfect nursing career. It might not be a straight shot, but I'm going to work hard and see it through. Also, I've been taking it easy. I'm currently getting back into shape and training for my very first 5K run. Practicing violin when I can. Watching K-dramas here and there. Was led (by one of my classmates from nursing school who is Korean) to what's now my favorite K-pop group of all time: DBSK. Don't even get me started on them because I will talk your ear off, haha. Coincidentally, I am listening to them as I am writing this. Expect occasional mention of their awesomeness.
Anyway, yes, I was chilling these past couple of months too. A girl's gotta rest! I'm back now and will slowly be catching up. A word of warning: the accounts until I get all caught up are going to be fairly quick and patchy because I played with my Tamagotchis only here and there in May, not at all while I was finishing up school, and then a bit after school finished. All I have to go on are the pictures I have, so I'll do my best. It just feels weird to start logging in the present day and not log about what happened when I last left you. So I'll get started!

15th Anniversary iDL
Patrick evolved into Spacytchi, whom I've already gotten, if I remember correctly. I married him off to Lovelitchi and they had a baby boy. He evolved into Ahirukutchi after an hour of care. The next day, he evolved into Sunnytchi. I ended up with Sunopotchi.
Tamagotchi iD L
In the last entry, my gal had evolved into Sabosabotchi. She eventually evolved into Furawatchi. I married her off to Mametchi and they had a baby girl. The girl evolved from Momoirotchi to Paletchi to Sabosabotchi to (I kind of saw where this was going, based on my track record)...Furawatchi. Though she's a great character, I'm hoping for better luck next time in getting a unique character.
P.S. I'm selling some of my Tamagotchis to help me raise funds for my 5K run. Learn a little more about it HERE!
Be back soon for more logging. Dear readers, old and new, thanks for stopping by!

Things have been a bit hectic. So much, in fact, that I passed right over my 5th anniversary of being here (August 8, 2007) and my 2nd anniversary of being a Guide (December 3, 2010). The 2nd anniversary of my log is right around the corner too (January 17, 2011)! These thoughts just occurred to me fairly recently. Time sure does fly by when youre having fun and Ive certainly had a lot of great times here. So if you have time to reminisce with me, check out the rest of my log because I sure do from time to time. I love hearing from you guys so please feel free to send me a PM or leave a comment on my profile if it strikes your fancy.
I will catch up...eventually...

15th Anniversary iD L
There's a gap in pictures between the last date I logged and this date...and I think I have a pretty good idea what happened: life and school. In any case, we pick up where we left off, with the adorable Sunopotchi. We celebrated Kuchipatchi's birthday today.
Tamagotchi iD L
After a series of interesting events, from the battery running out to my Furawatchi almost running away on me (I am such a fail at care-taking sometimes), I married off Furawatchi to Kuchipatchi and they had a baby girl. She evolved into Rolutchi after an hour of care.
Just activated the clover icon to set her straight. Phew!
Can't remember which adult character I decided to go for but I have a feeling it's Uwasatchi because I wanted to "store" her under the book icon in her Henshinjo outfit, which I haven't done yet. Want to find out if I accomplished that? You'll have to check back next time! (Now I'm going back through my pictures to see if it actually happened, so I will be the only one who knows...for now. Tee hee. )
Been getting a strong Tamagotchi itch lately but haven't had the chance to settle down to run one yet. I'd also like to get caught up with logging before I start one up. So I'm just settling for making Tamagotchi-related purchases to lessen the urge for the time being. Keep checking back for log and purchase updates! Awesome readers, old and new, thanks for stopping by!

We celebrated Guriguritchi's birthday on the 20th. The home was bursting with treats and decorations for his special day.
Sunopotchi had an exciting day as well, collecting all of his happy stamps throughout the day.
He was then ready to visit the matchmaker, where he found his bride-to-be, Giragiratchi. They were married in a lovely ceremony.
To be continued...
Posted 10 December 2012 - 02:12 PM ( #365 )
After all the festivities, Sunopotchi became a father to a baby boy! The new baby boy evolved into Ahirukutchi after an hour.
Tamagotchi iD L
We were also celebrating Guriguritchi's birthday on the regular iDL's side too. Rolutchi had evolved into Hineonetchi and was due to evolve into an adult at any moment. Sure enough, she transformed during the day into...Uwasatchi, as expected! Stay tuned for Henshinjo adventures...
Just have this last batch of May pictures to catch up on, and that would bring me up to speed (if you recall, I went on a Tamagotchi hiatus around June, when my last semester of nursing school started up, till around October, after taking my state licensing exam to become an RN)! Told you I'd catch up soon. Keep checking back for more! I couldn't resist so I've started up my 15th Anniversary iD L again AND I've got my Morino running. More to come...

15th Anniversary iD L
Ahirukutchi evolved into Kujakutchi on the 21st, and into Gozarutchi on this day (must not have gotten a picture, silly me). Next update will explain what happened with Gozarutchi on the 24th.
Tamagotchi iD L
Lots went on with Uwasatchi on the 22nd. First, happy items. In my usual fashion, I feed my Tamagotchi a meal item first before the dessert happy items. Old habits die hard, I suppose. The actual happy items are the pumpkin pie from TamaBakery and tiramisu from TamaCafe.
Double dessert, lucky duck.
An additional happy item is the teal dress from TamaMori.
Next, Henshinjo to become Reporepo Uwasatchi.
To be continued...
Posted 11 December 2012 - 03:57 AM ( #367 )
Uwasatchi earned her final happy seal not long after her Henshinjo visit.
The matchmaker was available for an appointment today so Uwasatchi visited and as soon as she stepped in, her eyes fell upon the dashing Hirotchi. He was smitten as well and so they were married.
She came home with an egg and from it, hatched a baby boy. The baby boy evolved into the toddler, Nannokitchi.
That's all for now. Stay tuned for more updates!
Posted 11 December 2012 - 07:32 PM ( #368 )
Not 100% sure what caused the sudden cut-off of pictures for this entry. Chances are, I
The Gozarutchi on my 15th Anniversary iD L went straight to the matchmaker without repeating any of his happy items because I had gotten him before, alter ego character and all. He married Antoinetchi and they had a baby boy. It's quite possible that he ran away on me at some point because I started again later on (see below, regarding my vacation).
The Nannokitchi on my regular iD L evolved into Bokuhoshitchi. I'll admit that I was a bit bummed, since I have already obtained all the adult characters from the Bokuhoshitchi line, including the Henshinjo characters.
In September, after passing my RN licensing exam, I went on a trip. I had brought along a couple of Tamagotchis, including my 15th Anniversary iD L, which I started up. Surprisingly, I managed to raise a Mimitchi but not surprisingly (and unfortunately too), I didn't hold on long enough to get her stored under the book icon. Better luck next time! Must brush up on my Tamagotchi skills. Couldn't even manage properly during my vacation, when I actually had more free time!
With all that said, I'm caught up! That wasn't too bad, eh? Although, it's easy to do that when you don't run a Tamagotchi for about 6 months. Wow, has it really been that long? Well, I've got a couple up and running now, as I mentioned a few days ago, including a vintage, so keep an eye out for updates! As always, thanks for your patience and for stopping by!

15th Anniversary iD L
...and so we begin again. I restarted my 15A and a cute egg appeared. A few minutes later, it hatched to reveal a baby boy.
Nothing out of the ordinary occurred, though I did take some pictures of him throughout the baby stage.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...
He later evolved into Ahirukutchi.
Haven't broken this one out in a while. As always, I chose the white egg and it hatched after a few minutes.
To be continued...
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:57 PM ( #370 )
I had forgotten how low-maintenance the Morino is. After I fed him and filled up his happy hearts (can only be done by playing the game), his meters didn't empty for a while.
There is also no baby-to-toddler stage. The motion sensor feature is always great. Saved the little critter from being stomped on later in the day.
We'll see how long I can keep this going...I have a few days of work later in the week and you all probably are familiar with the fact that I shy away from pausing.
Present-Day Notes
So I was sorting through some Tamagotchis to take along with me on my trip out of town for work and I discovered that my precious TMGC+C wasn't working due to battery corrosion. Such a n00b mistake. I hadn't checked on my +C since my hiatus began several months back and when I thought to open it up again, the old batteries were in there and...well, you know the rest. >.< I was sad and pretty much resigned to buying another one (they're reasonably priced on Ebay at the moment). Meanwhile, in a fit of panic, I brought out my entire collection to open everything up (as best as I could anyway), make sure everything still worked, and take out any batteries. After coming back from my trip, I decided to try and see if I could fix my +C. Don't know why that didn't occur to me earlier. I used a bit of vinegar to remove the worst of the corrosion on the one terminal in the Tamagotchi that was affected and when I put new batteries in, it worked! Phew! As much as I would have liked a brand new +C, this particular one holds a special place in my heart because it was my very first color Tamagotchi and I got it for a fantastic deal. Who knows? If the right time comes, I might buy another one (the white ones look awesome) so my +C can have a friend. Anyway, I've decided to run it again, for old times' sake, and in celebration of its revival. Keep an eye out for that!
Look forward to purchase updates in the coming weeks!

Freshening up in the morning before the big change...
He evolved into the Ura character, Kujakutchi.

To my dismay, I saw this screen in the morning and had to start over.
Later on, he called for help as a giant frog came hopping along. I saved him just in the nick of time!
Stay tuned for more adventures...

My 15A evolved into Otogitchi, as expected. Didn't snap a picture of him on the 12th because I was working and travelling. On the 13th, I took care of his happy items: Katsu Curry from the Restaurant, the TamaMori Visor from TamaMori, and the Miracle Baton from TamaDepa.
Look forward to a trip to the matchmaker next! For now, sleep!
Couldn't keep up with this one while I was at work this week. Gonna have to try again sometime this weekend.
Short update for now. Thanks for stopping by!

Away to the matchmaker today after getting the 4th happy symbol!
Otogitchi married Meloditchi and they had a boy, who evolved into Ahirukutchi at the end of the hour.
Stay tuned for more! Vintages are in store (take 2 with the Morino)...
Posted 21 December 2012 - 01:25 AM ( #375 )
15th Anniversary iD L
Ahirukutchi evolved into Sunnytchi.
I decided to try for Meistertchi, which involves getting no more than 1 care miss. I had gotten him before, but he wasn't stored as his alter ego, Risurisu Meister.
Here's to the return of my +C! So I mentioned in an earlier entry that I rescued my +C from doom and thereby avoiding shelling out money to buy a new one. In celebration, I decided to start it up again.
Due to the weather, I couldn't get all the happy items, so I did as best as I could.
To be continued...
Posted 21 December 2012 - 02:24 AM ( #376 )
My +C evolved into Sakuramotchi.
I'm pretty sure I started up this guy once again on this day but it seems I didn't take any pictures of the critter. It's the same sequence as before: no baby to toddler stage and not too demanding. I'll update soon when more happens.
I was in an extra nurturing mood today so I decided to start up another low-maintenance vintage. I didn't have a specific goal adult character in mind. However, I wanted to be as hands-off as possible, in the hopes of getting characters besides Kuriten, the perfect-care adult, or Futagotenshi, the twins.
At start-up, we had Obaketchi, the final "death screen" on the Japanese P1 and P2. This is the lead-in scene for the Angelgotch. This is the equivalent of the spaceship on the US version, and is the "egg" stage.
5 minutes later, Obaketchi 2 appeared. This is the Babitchi stage.
Eating and playing the game
Eating again...and trying to avoid the bat (by tapping the screen)
A little more than an hour later and after a short nap, Obaketchi 2 evolved into Maruten.
That's all for now. Thanks for reading!

15th Anniversary iD L
Sunnytchi evolved into Meistertchi, as expected. Happy items and trip to TamaX-TV tomorrow!
Sakuramotchi evolved into Chamametchi. Couple more days and she'll evolve into an adult.
Kind of a so-so day for the little guy. He was attacked by predators at least once today, while I managed to save him on another occasion. He quickly bounced back from injuries, thankfully enough, and was seen inching around the screen quite happily.
It's always harder to catch the "praise" opportunities in any stage besides the adult stage, because they don't call for it. How do I know I missed it? There's a pile of poo next to my Angel (they usually leave a "present" after a praise opportunity, whether you catch it or not).
Later in the day, Maruten evolved into Takoten, the unhealthy teen.
Although it saddens me to neglect my Angel, I'm moving toward characters I don't usually get. Stay tuned…
Thanks for reading!

Happy items for Maisutatchi/Meistertchi. Sweet éclairs from TamaBakery, TamaMori hat from TamaMori, and Miracle Baton from Tama Depa.
Upon review of my pictures, looks like I visited TamaX-TV on the 18th, so stay tuned for that!
Since it takes 2 days on a +C, rather than 1 day, for the teen to evolve into an adult, Chamametchi just took it easy today. She planted a mystery seed out in the frozen ground, hoping that something wonderful will sprout up in a few days. Here's hoping!
No new pictures of my Morino today. Saved him from predators a couple of times. Otherwise, we're just waiting for his next stage in life.
My Angel evolved into Pukuten (AKA "Chubby Angel"), the most healthy character you can get from the unhealthy teen character. She's rather cute!
That's all for the 17th. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Meistertchi kicked off the morning by cleaning up the house for his big transformation and wedding day.
Once the place was spotless, off we went to TamaX-TV, where he morphed into his alter ego, Risurisu Meister. Adorable! He earned his final happy sign shortly afterward.
To be continued...
Posted 23 December 2012 - 04:59 AM ( #380 )
With even more confidence, Meistertchi went to meet his future bride. He and Lovelitchi were married.
They had a baby girl who evolved into Tororotchi. She looks rather bored, doesn't she?
Before my gal evolved into an adult, we went outside to check on our tree. Up, up, up, it went! The weather was pretty good in the morning but it turned snowy as the day wore on. Chamametchi evolved into Marotchi.
Oh, my dear Morino. It's a wonder that you've made it this far. Thank you for being so patient and understanding with me.
"You're forgiven...for now..."
As I mentioned in a previous post, only adults will beep for praise. Managed to catch a praise opportunity today. After getting praise, my Angel promptly left a present. Just look at that grin!
Stay tuned for more updates!

No. 16 Bruins rally to beat No. 23 Huskers 41-21
LINCOLN, Neb. Bo Pelini didn't like the looks on his players' faces when he turned to them on the sideline while No. 16 UCLA was erasing the Cornhuskers' double-digit lead in the third quarter.
"It was like they saw a ghost," the coach said.
What the 23rd-ranked Huskers - and the record crowd of 91,471 - saw were the Bruins making the biggest comeback by a visitor to Memorial Stadium.
In a flashback to their embarrassing performance against UCLA at the Rose Bowl a year ago, Nebraska defenders flailed away as Brett Hundley and the Bruins wiped out an 18-point first-half deficit and beat the Huskers 41-21 on Saturday.
"I think in the second half I kind of got the sense that we needed to try and hold onto the lead," Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez said. "I think we were trying to, but we should have just gone out there and tried to just blow them out."
It was the Huskers (2-1) who got blown out in the second half.
The 18 points marked the biggest deficit overcome by a Nebraska opponent in Lincoln since, according to the university yearbook, Washington State erased a 20-0 halftime deficit to win 21-20 in 1920. Memorial Stadium opened in 1923.
Hundley threw three touchdown passes as the Bruins (2-0) lit up Nebraska for 35 points over a 16-minute span.
Nebraska's defense, which has struggled in the biggest games in the past year, allowed 236 yards in the third quarter and 504 for the game.
"The second half was a lot like last year," Pelini said. "We made the tackles in the first half. I don't know how many tackles we missed in that second half but it is a lot. We missed tackle after tackle after tackle."
UCLA's win came six days after Bruins receiver Nick Pasquale was killed when he was struck by a vehicle while he was walking in his hometown and a day before coaches and teammates travel to San Clemente, Calif., for his memorial service.
"You can't believe how tough it was on them," Bruins coach Jim Mora said. "You never want to say you won one for somebody. We didn't win one for Nick. What we tried to do today is go out and play with the type or energy, enthusiasm and passion for the game that would reflect what he meant to us."
The Bruins wore No. 36 patches on their jerseys in memory of Pasquale. The Huskers wore No. 36 decals on their helmets, and there was a moment of silence for Pasquale before the game.
The Huskers, wearing alternate black jerseys instead of their traditional home red, looked to be in total control in the first half.
Then they couldn't stop Hundley and a UCLA offense that gained 653 yards while beating them a year ago at the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins started their barrage with Paul Perkins' 10-yard touchdown run to cut Nebraska's lead to 21-10 at halftime.
Jordon James scored from 3 yards before Hundley threw TD passes of 28 yards to Shaquelle Evans, 12 yards to Phillip Ruhl and 3 yards to Nate Iese.
