Part 1
Vision, Mission, and Culture
The first place to look when setting out to assemble your dream team is at your company. Remember what I said about only getting the staff you deserve? If you want to attract a better quality of person than the ones you currently employ, then you've got to change various things about your company.
It's just like baking a cake. If you've always baked chocolate cakes, but now you want to try an apple crumble, then it's no use sticking with the recipe for the chocolate cake. You've got to get a recipe for an apple crumble. If you don't, you'll continue to produce chocolate cakes. It's as simple as that.
So how do you go about changing your company to attract the type of person you're after? You need to go back to basics and review your vision, mission, and culture.
Yes, that's right. You need to re-examine the very fundamentals of your business. You need to look at its core values and ideals and then change or realign those that would deter would-be team members.
So how do you do that?
Well, start with your company's vision. By the way, it may surprise you to know that the vast majority of businesses don't actually have a Vision Statement. Yes, I know the owner may have a rough idea of where the company is going or where it would be nice for it to go, but the point is most don't have a well-thought-out and articulated Vision Statement that is written down for all to see.
And here's something else that may surprise you: Of those companies that do have a Vision Statement, the vast majority seem intent on keeping it a secret. That's right. No one except a handful of their senior executives know anything about it at all. I often ask the first person I come across when visiting a business—usually the receptionist—what the company's vision is, and do you know what? They never can tell me. I find this shocking, because if a company's people don't know what they are aiming for, how will they know in which direction to aim? How will they know what their progress is and whether they are moving closer to or further away from achieving that vision?
I'm a firm believer in giving people ownership of the overall vision of a business; in that way they will all strive for the same thing. They will also all have similar values and appreciate the same general ideals. They will all identify with the business and with each other as team members.
So, what then should a company's Vision Statement contain? What, for that matter, is a Vision Statement?
Let me answer that by means of an example. I'll use one of my companies, ActionCOACH, as an example.
When I set out to build this company, I built it with the end in mind. In other words, I built it according to how I envisaged it when it was finished. This is very important, because it affects everything you do in your building stage. Your vision, mission, and goals will have to take this into account.
My vision for ActionCOACH is:
World Abundance through Business Reeducation
Notice it is world abundance, not Australian or Southeast Queensland abundance. This sets the tone for the whole company and its future. It also dictates how others see us.
The Vision Statement is the long-term goal of your business. And by long-term, I mean 100 years. Don't mess around with short-term goals here. We're talking about the grand picture of what your business will be like when its finished. Think of it as the strategic intent of the business.
Vision Statements are meant to be living documents. By that I mean they mustn't just hang in the boardroom or some other hallowed place where they never get seen. They should be prominently displayed all over the place where absolutely everyone can see them all the time. You see, it's critical that your entire team identifies with the Vision Statement and accepts it as the team's vision too. Whenever I recruit new team members, the very first thing I discuss with them is our vision. I let them know what we are striving for. If they can't identify with it, I tell them they're welcome to leave then and there.
Let's now consider the Mission Statement.
Again, many businesses simply don't have one. If yours is one of them, then before you do anything else, spend some time developing one. But before you do, do you know what a Mission Statement is?
The Mission Statement states how your business is going to accomplish its vision. It is obviously going to be very much more detailed than the Vision Statement. It should clearly spell out the following:
Who you are.
What business you are in.
Who your customers are.
What makes you different from your competition.
This last point is very important. It's something you need to spend time getting clear in your own mind first. You see, the day you differentiate yourself from the rest, you won't have to compete on price anymore. That's why a Giorgio Armani shirt costs very much more than one from K-Mart. I mean, they might very well be made from the same material and in the same factory, but the Giorgio Armani costs more precisely because of marketing differentiation.
To illustrate what I'm getting at, let's consider the Mission Statement of my company, ActionCOACH.
Once again, this is discussed with every applicant during the interview process. It is explained and talked about at length. Applicants are given the opportunity to ask questions and to say if they feel comfortable or uncomfortable with it. If they don't agree with it or feel it doesn't excite them, they are invited to leave and look for a company that better matches their outlook.
Here are a few great questions to ask yourself when developing your Mission Statement:
1. What do you, as a team, want more of?
2. What do you, as a team, want less of?
3. Describe the kinds of relationships you wish to have with your
Once you have written down your Mission Statement, look over the statements below and check those that are true:
___ Is the Mission Statement future oriented?
___ Is the Mission Statement likely to lead to a better future for the organization?
___ Is the Mission Statement consistent with the organization's values?
___ Does the Mission Statement set standards of excellence?
___ Does the Mission Statement clarify purpose and direction?
___ Does the Mission Statement inspire enthusiasm and encourage commitment?
___ Does the Mission Statement set the company apart from the competition?
___ Is the Mission Statement ambitious enough?
___ Am I excited about the Mission Statement?
Understand that it's vitally important to have a good Vision Statement that is backed up by a comprehensive Mission Statement. But that's not the end of the story because, just like different countries, businesses need to operate within a specific culture. You see, countries have rules and regulations that their citizens collectively establish (through democratic means in most civilized countries), yet they go about their daily lives according to the culture that they happen to have. This means that, while the Italians and the English might both have similar rules and regulations that govern them, they go about their daily lives entirely differently. They eat different food, they speak different languages, and they have different moral codes of conduct. The English, for example, would find it rude to talk loudly in public, whereas the Italians certainly wouldn't. The Spanish don't consider it rude to interrupt while someone is talking, whereas the English do.
Think of a company's culture in much the same way. It's the way the members of that company go about meeting their objectives. It is their guide regarding all those unwritten, yet important, social issues that help give a business its character. It is that guide that lets team members know what is acceptable and what is not. It is a collection of values that lets every team member know what is most important in terms of thoughts and behavior.
Now, here's another thing you need to bear in mind; most companies don't have their culture written down so that everyone knows precisely what's expected of them.
Did you know that, unlike not having the Vision and Mission Statements, every company actually has a culture?
You see, if you don't proactively decide what your company's culture is going to be, your team members will do it for you. It will just happen; it will evolve over time all on its own. So my message to you is to take control and set one up with the help of your team. This is most important, as you'll want them to subscribe to it.
What types of things should you include in your Culture Statement? Well, it's generally a 12-point statement that includes the following:
Your three most important values as leader of the company.
Your team's three most important values.
Your customers' three most important values.
Your company's three most important values.
Here's what we have in place at ActionCOACH. Once again, it is discussed at length with all new team members at the time of their initial interview. Doing so saves us a whole lot of time and helps us find people who will fit in well with the rest of the team. We always find the right people from day one as a result.
This is our Culture Statement:
Action's 14 Points of Culture
1. Commitment
I give myself and everything I commit to 100 percent until I succeed. I am committed to the Vision, Mission, Culture, and success of ActionCOACH, its current and future team, and its clients at all times. You will always recommend products and services of ActionCOACH prior to going outside the company.
2. Ownership
I am truly responsible for my actions and outcomes and own everything that takes place in my work and my life. I am accountable for my results and I know that for things to change, first I must change.
3. Integrity
I always speak the truth. What I promise is what I deliver. I only ever make agreements with myself and others that I am willing and intend to keep. I communicate any potential broken agreements at the first opportunity and I clear up all broken agreements immediately.
4. Excellence
Good enough isn't. I always deliver products and services of exceptional quality that add value to all involved for the long term. I look for ways to do more with less and stay on a path of constant and never-ending improvement and innovation.
5. Communication
I speak positively of my fellow team members, my clients, and ActionCOACH in both public and private. I speak with good purpose using empowering and positive conversation. I never use or listen to sarcasm or gossip. I acknowledge what is being said as true for the speaker at that moment and I take responsibility for responses to my communication. I greet and say goodbye to people using their names. I always apologize for any upsets first and then look for a solution. I only ever discuss concerns in private with the person involved.
6. Success
I totally focus my thoughts, energy, and attention on the successful outcome of whatever I am doing. I am willing to win and allow others to win: Win/Win. At all times, I display my inner pride, prosperity, competence, and personal confidence. I am a successful person.
7. Education
I learn from my mistakes. I consistently learn, grow, and master so that I can help my fellow team members and clients learn, grow, and master too. I am an educator and allow my clients to make their own intelligent decisions about their future, remembering that it is their future. I impart practical and useable knowledge rather than just theory.
8. Teamwork
I am a team player and team leader. I do whatever it takes to stay together and achieve team goals. I focus on cooperation and always come to a resolution, not a compromise. I am flexible in my work and able to change if what I'm doing is not working. I ask for help when I need it and am compassionate to others who ask me.
9. Balance
I have a balanced approach to life, remembering that my spiritual, social, physical, and family aspects are just as important as my financial and intellectual. I complete my work and my most important tasks first, so I can have quality time to myself, with my family, and also to renew.
10. Fun
I view my life as a journey to be enjoyed and appreciated and I create an atmosphere of fun and happiness so all around me enjoy it as well.
11. Systems
I always look to the system for a solution. If a challenge arises I use a system correction before I look for a people correction. I use a system solution in my innovation rather than a people solution. I follow the system exactly until a new system is introduced. I suggest system improvements at my first opportunity.
12. Consistency
I am consistent in my actions so my clients and teammates can feel comfortable in dealing with me at all times. I am disciplined in my work so my results, growth, and success are consistent.
13. Gratitude
I am a truly grateful person. I say thank-you and show appreciation often and in many ways, so that all around me know how much I appreciate everything and everyone I have in my life. I celebrate my wins and the wins of my clients and team. I consistently catch myself and other people doing things right.
14. Abundance
I am an abundant person. I deserve my abundance and I am easily able to both give and receive it. I allow abundance in all areas of my life by respecting my own self-worth and that of all others. I am rewarded to the level that I create abundance for others, and I accept that abundance only shows up in my life to the level at which I show up.
When thinking about what values you'd like to encourage in your business, take a moment to answer the following questions:
1. In order to fulfill our Mission, what are the most important characteristics each team member must have?
2. What must we as an organization focus on to be our very best?
3. What qualities must we look for in the people we hire? Which qualities do you want each team member to value the most?
4. What are the characteristics that would conflict with the organization as it fulfils the Mission?
Are you beginning to see the importance and value of having in place good Vision, Mission, and Culture Statements? Can you see how these set the tone of the business and affect the types of people who will be attracted to your business?
Part 2
Putting Together the Dream Team
Before we consider ways of ensuring you have the team of your dreams in your business, let's consider for a moment just what a team is. According to the dictionary, a team is "a group of people who are on the same side." It is also "a group organized to work together." But there's more. In old English, the word refers to offspring or family. Isn't that interesting?
In my business, my team is considered part of my family. You should consider yours to be too. You see, if you regard your team members as family, you'll treat them a whole lot differently than what you would if they were just "staff," wouldn't you? Think about it. You may have noticed I never refer to my people as staff; they are members of my team.
Here's another meaning of the word team: Together Everyone Achieves More.
The overall feeling here is one of togetherness. The word conjures up an impression of inclusiveness. And this is important, because when you really think about it, everyone in your company has a unique and equally important role. None is more important than the others. They all have a distinct purpose that plays an important role in the overall well-being of your business. If they didn't, then there's something wrong with your structure. You see, in business there should be no freeloaders. Everyone should have a unique and distinct role to play in helping the company achieve its Goals, Mission, and Vision. It's as simple as that.
But there's another dimension here that needs to be highlighted. Team members not only have to fulfil a particular function within the organization, they also have to fit in with the rest of the team as far as compatibility is concerned. You know the old saying that one rotten apple spoils the basket? Well, it's true in business. It all comes down to your company's culture. Finding the right match is vitally important when selecting team members. That's why I involve my entire team when looking for a new team member. You see, team members are the ones who have to live and work with the new team member, not I.
So how should you go about ensuring that you match the members of your team up well with each other? The first thing to do is to consider the different behavioral styles people have. I do this by means of the DISC Personality Profile.

I love this hairpiece! I put it on right out of the box, no trimming necessary. No one can tell that I'm wearing a hairpiece. My hair did not grow back as thick as it used to be before chemo and is especially thin on top of my head. This piece provides just the coverage I need and has the same straight, shiny slickness as my own hair. My hair is shoulder length, and this piece, although shorter, blends in perfectly. I place it back, behind my bangs. The part looks like my own scalp. I've been fooling everyone!
more colors
not a huge selection of colors. great piece though, wish it was a tiny bit longer and a bit fuller all around
Great summer piece
When I first got the Chameleon I was afraid that it wouldn't give me enough coverage. I was used to a round top and just had to get used to this one only having two clips. I brought it to my beautician and she trimmed and shaped it to fit in with my hair. I have enough hair on the sides and back but unfortunately very little on top. The hair lays flat in the back curling under and the sides are trimmed so that I can wing them back. I had the sides cut shorter so that the hair can be pushed back with a full bang. It would be perfect if it had a little more bang but I still enjoy wearing it and no one knows that it's not my hair. I've tried wigs and pieces and feel more secure wearing a piece then I do a wig and I had a wig made to order costing over $2000.00 which I never wear. I have a short neck and find that wigs ride up on my head where pieces don't do that.
Pros and cons
I like it and I've ordered a few other ones but for the price it's decent I add a row of hair extensions around the outside and I also buy different clips and add 2 to the front and 2 on the back.... I also wash mine and sometimes rub a little powder in it from time to time I think that helps with the shine...
I have 4 hairpieces and it is my least favorite. It seems to just be a glob of weight on my head that all moves together and I can't get rid of the shine.
exactly what i was looking for
The chameleon provides more coverage than i expected. it is exactly what i was looking for
great piece great color. wish it had more hair on the front to cover up the base.

Light Pollution: do we Look at the Heavens, anymore?
Now, we Switch off the Sky.
Since the beginning of human history man and woman and particularly child have gazed into the night sky, and thought of the Gods or the Heavens and our small, yet powerful place in the spinnings of this precious universe.
The night time sky is one of the most beautiful and profound sights known to man. Deep and endlessly vast and black, not flat and gray as it appears now.
Now, we do not remember our place, our magical yet humble place. We watch movies.
Every summer, as a child, I've gone to Vermont or the mountains of Colorado, and I always enjoyed the big sky. No buildings crowding the horizon by day. No lights crowding out the infinity of "up" by night. Now, I watch movies.

For a discussion titled "Amazon: Business as Usual?" panelists at the New York Public Library cited Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson and the Stamp Act of 1765. Questions were raised about the future of democracy, the manners of Silicon Valley and the consequences of religious war.
This is clearly no ordinary time in publishing.
"What's at stake is writing," best-selling novelist James Patterson said Tuesday night at a gathering before some 150 people, many from the publishing world. "It's our livelihood. It's the livelihood of our friends."
As Amazon and Hachette Book Group remain in a standoff over issues such as revenues from e-book sales, with the online retailer restricting access to books by Patterson, Malcolm Gladwell and other Hachette authors, literary agent Tina Bennett moderated an often passionate 90-minute exchange among Patterson and five other speakers. They included publisher Morgan Entrekin of Atlantic Monthly Press, the author and net neutrality advocate Tim Wu, political theorist Danielle Allen and attorney and founder of the music download service EMusic.com, Bob Kohn.
Sympathies, both onstage and in the audience, were strongly with the publisher and traditional publishing. Panelists worried about Amazon's growing power and that its determination to lower prices would put competitors out of business and force publishers to cut royalties, making it harder for authors to work on their books. Bennett said the negotiations between Hachette and Amazon "could change our business forever," and likened her situation to sitting in a hospital waiting room while a loved one was being operated on.
Amazon has provided few comments on the conflict with Hachette and, according to Bennett, declined an invitation to send an official to the library Tuesday. Standing in for the Seattle-based company was David Vandagriff, an intellectual property attorney who on his blog earlier in the day had wondered if he was the only panelist not subject to "Amazon Derangement Syndrome."
Entrekin and others spoke of publishers as indispensable patrons of literary culture, investing in books that sometimes take years to complete and taking on authors who aren't profitable, but have something important to say. "They could make more money just publishing the kind of junk I write," Patterson joked. Vandagriff advocated for authors (including his wife, G.G. Vandagriff) who broke from the industry and published through Amazon, saying they had more control and received much higher royalties. Patterson worried that Amazon was a danger to free expression, even invoking the image of burning books. Vandagriff praised Amazon as an innovator dedicated to its customers.
"What do the people who work at Amazon think of when they get up and in the morning?" said Vandagriff, who on his blog earlier in the day had wondered if he was the only panelist not subject to "Amazon Derangement Syndrome." "They are entirely, completely focused on pleasing and delighting the millions of people who shop there."
A few groans were heard in the auditorium. Fellow speakers onstage responded.
"Are you talking about the warehouses, or the corporate headquarters?" said Patterson, referring to numerous reports that Amazon's warehouse employees endured harsh conditions.
"Jeff Bezos, when he goes to work every day, his job is a different job," Kohn said of Amazon's founder and CEO. "His job is to win a winner-take-all game."
Publishers fret even in the dullest moments, and Bennett asked each panelist to rank the current climate on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 business as usual and 5 a five-alarm emergency.
"3," said Patterson, who has been a leading critic of Amazon among writers and believes their "religious" passion will sustain them.
"4," said Allen, who agreed with Patterson that writers were a strong force against Amazon, but was skeptical that the general public would get involved.
"5," according to Kohn, who said that Amazon was "predatorily" pricing.
"1," said Vandagriff.
"3," Entrekin said, but he was talking about the present, when the industry is relatively stable. The future could well be a 5.

The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for Americaby Douglas Brinkley
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this groundbreaking epic biography, Douglas Brinkley draws on never-before-published materials to examine the life and achievements of our "naturalist president." By setting aside more than 230 million acres of wild America for posterity between 1901 and 1909, Theodore Roosevelt made conservation a universal endeavor. This crusade for the American wilderness was perhaps the greatest U.S. presidential initiative between the Civil War and World War I. Roosevelt's most important legacies led to the creation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and passage of the Antiquities Act in 1906. His executive orders saved such treasures as Devils Tower, the Grand Canyon, and the Petrified Forest.
Tracing the role that nature played in Roosevelt's storied career, Brinkley brilliantly analyzes the influence that the works of John James Audubon and Charles Darwin had on the young man who would become our twenty-sixth president. With descriptive flair, the author illuminates Roosevelt's bird watching in the Adirondacks, wildlife obsession in Yellowstone, hikes in the Blue Ridge Mountains, ranching in the Dakota Territory, hunting in the Big Horn Mountains, and outdoor romps through Idaho and Wyoming. He also profiles Roosevelt's incredible circle of naturalist friends, including the Catskills poet John Burroughs, Boone and Crockett Club cofounder George Bird Grinnell, forestry zealot Gifford Pinchot, buffalo breeder William Hornaday, Sierra Club founder John Muir, U.S. Biological Survey wizard C. Hart Merriam, Oregon Audubon Society founder William L. Finley, and pelican protector Paul Kroegel, among many others. He brings to life hilarious anecdotes of wild-pig hunting in Texas and badger saving in Kansas, wolf catching in Oklahoma and grouse flushing in Iowa. Even the story of the teddy bear gets its definitive treatment.
Destined to become a classic, this extraordinary and timeless biography offers a penetrating and colorful look at Roosevelt's naturalist achievements, a legacy now more important than ever. Raising a Paul Revere–like alarm about American wildlife in peril—including buffalo, manatees, antelope, egrets, and elk—Roosevelt saved entire species from probable extinction. As we face the problems of global warming, overpopulation, and sustainable land management, this imposing leader's stout resolution to protect our environment is an inspiration and a contemporary call to arms for us all.
One of the Best Books of the Year
The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Kansas City Star, The Chicago Tribune, and The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

DEFINITION of 'Group of 3 - G3'
A free trade agreement between Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela. Together, these three countries comprise 70% of the entire population of the Greater Caribbean region. The three countries enacted the accord on January 1, 1995. The agreement covered numerous issues including intellectual property rights, public sector investments and easing of trade restrictions including a 10% lowering of tariffs between the three countries for 10 years (between 1995 and 2005). Venezuela opted to not continue the relationship in 2006 and instead joined the South American trade group Mercosur. Colombia and Mexico agreed to continue the agreement.
Also known as G3 Free Trade Agreement.
BREAKING DOWN 'Group of 3 - G3'
One of the Group of 3's first projects was to construct a gas pipeline that would extend from Colombia to Venezuela. The pipeline – which had an original price tag of $800 million – would enable Venezuela to tap into Colombian gas fields. The project was completed in 2007 and transports 150 million cubic feet of gas per day to the country's gas-deficient western region. Sometime between 2011 and 2014 Venezuela plans to reverse the pipeline's flow in order to benefit Colombia as well.

How to Talk So Your Partner Will Listen
You talk to your partner all the time, but do you communicate well? Probably not, a recent study suggests. Researchers at the University of Chicago found that most married couples don't communicate with their partners any better than they do with strangers.
What gives? Scientists have a theory that because you feel so close to your partner, you overestimate how well you're really connecting; you leave out the important details that you assume he or she knows about you, too.
Recommended Related to Women
By Jessie Knadler You didn't see it coming. You didn't even feel it land — until a split second later when you suddenly realize you've had the wind knocked out of you. What just hit you? Someone's nasty comment, and it's cut you to the core. Sometimes a faultfinder disguises her disapproval as a quasi-compliment: "I would have never had the courage to talk to my boss the way you did." Other times, a jab takes the form of a cautionary tale: "You're going on a cruise? I still get nightmares...
Read the How to Silence Your Critics article > >
Couples who've been together a long time are also quicker to point out flaws in each other, which can cause someone to feel attacked and go on the defensive. They might do this by blocking the attack (saying something like, "You don't know what you're talking about") or by leaving, physically or emotionally. The bottom line is, one tunes the other out. So instead of getting to the root of important issues, more may crop up.
Next time you want to talk about something important with your partner -- and you want them to listen -- try the following tips.
Begin with what you appreciate about your partner. This isn't about lifting them up before you knock them down. Think about what you love about your partner and your relationship. By doing this and then telling them, the two of you will feel you have a more solid foundation. This will help you keep your issue in perspective and help your partner listen less defensively.
Say what you want, not just what you don't want. For example, telling your partner to stop complaining does not tell him what you want him to do. Are you telling him to always keep his struggles to himself, or are you saying this is not a good time for you to talk? It's much more helpful to say something like, "I know you're having a hard time, but I'm so tired that I can't think straight now. Can we talk about this later, after I've rested, so that I can really be there for you?"
Be specific. Saying what you want works best when you are specific. Saying "I want you to show me that you love me" is less likely to get you what you want than saying, "It would really help me feel more loved if you'd give me a hug and kiss every night when you come home."

SVWA Book Club 53rd Gathering: "Travel and Literature - as well as Book Publishing in China" by Jack Quian, 3/15/2008, 2-4pm, Silicon Valley Chinese Art Center
Dear Silicon Valley Women and Book Club Friends,
We are pleased to invite Jack Quian (å°å) to our 53rd gathering. Jack Quian is a prominent Chinese author whose work has enjoyed success on the internet as well as in print. For more information about Jack Quian, please check http://wenxinshe.landaishu.com/home/news_read.asp?NewsID=18228.
Dr. Quian will share his travel adventures as a writer. Traveling gives him a broader worldview and a grander perspective; in return he wrote many books to illustrate the beauties and wonders of the places he visited.
Jack Quian will also talk about his experiences in publishing, including writing, editing, printing, promoting, marketing and distributing a book. This topic will be very helpful for some friends who have advanced to professional writing stage. For the rest of us, it will extend our vision beyond where we are and provide us with the secrets of success.

The main advantages of Bluetooth are that it's compatible and wireless. The disadvantages include that Bluetooth devices tend to be more expensive and they tend to run out of power quickly.Know More
Bluetooth devices have considerably more compatibility than devices that use jacks. This is because many electronic devices have proprietary device jacks, or the technology they use for jacks quickly becomes outdated. Bluetooth devices can connect to any phone, smartphone or any other gadget that's compatible with Bluetooth. Another advantage is that Bluetooth allows a device to be completely free of wires. Not only does this tend to make operating the device less of a hassle, it also allows for more flexibility and range. This makes Bluetooth headsets ideal for exercising, for example.
A downside to Bluetooth has to do with the fact that they are wireless. This means that they have to operate on battery power. Since many Bluetooth devices are small and don't connect over wires, battery power and life often become a problem. The Bluetooth setting on a user's phone might also drain power faster from that device. Another downside is that Bluetooth devices are often more expensive than other kinds. This is due to the extra technology they need to run.Learn more about Technology
The steps to turn on Bluetooth depend on the Bluetooth-enabled device and operating system you are using, but generally one should locate the Bluetooth button and click Enable. For Windows 7 computers, locate the Bluetooth button on the Network and Sharing Center and then click the Enable button to activate it.Full Answer >
Signals transmitted using Bluetooth, a technology for connecting devices wirelessly across short distances, reach about 32 feet. Bluetooth transmission is relatively weak so that it does not interfere with TVs and other electronics. It uses about 1 milliwatt of power, while mobile phones typically use about 3 watts.Full Answer >
Bluetooth works by transmitting data through radio waves that operate at a low power level and a specific frequency to create an uninterrupted connection between two devices. The frequency that Bluetooth operates falls between 2.402 and 2.480 gigahertz and has been reserved for industrial, scientific and medical device use internationally. To avoid causing interruptions with other devices operating in the same radio range, Bluetooth signals are emitted at one miliwatts.Full Answer >
Bluetooth is a form of technology that allows electronic devices to transmit and receive data wirelessly across short distances. This technology utilizes low-power, short-wavelength radio waves to establish a link between two or more devices that support Bluetooth. As a networking standard, it operates on two levels: physical and protocol. The physical level includes the radio frequencies, whereas the protocol level handles the accuracy and means of data transmission.Full Answer >

Made it to Venice!
... But it was worth it! It's actually kind of rough missing church and the temple for such a long period of time. I really thought about that yesterday. I haven't been able to go to the temple for 5 weeks now and I miss it! Even missing church last week made me sad. Absence makes the heart grow fonder for sure. I was glad we were there even for a little while. We spent the rest of Sunday just ...
Just floating along
... to think about it and with some slight persuaion from the girls and Scott our tour manager I did it! When I walked in to the shop the guy got down on one knee and exclaimed 'Ah Bella Ive been waiting for you!' Ive very happy I bought it I got a good discount for sending it home and surprise myself every none and then when I forget I've bought it!
From here we met our tour group back in the square to head off to our 7 course dinner. One of the girls who I've became good ...
Day 4 - Bonus Day!
Today was a bonus day in every sense of the word! We had originally booked flights home for today, not realising in time it was a Bank Holiday so Lyn didn't need to book a day off work. Once he realised, last week when we were all packed to go and were staying in Reading, he decided to extend our flights until the Wednesday!
So, call us mad, but we decided to go to Venice for the day! We had been so impressed with our train ride into Florence we looked at the ...

I ordered buffalo mozzarella with tomato and pancetta after listening to Ni�o talk about how he only buys his buffalo mozzarella from one place in his home town of Salerno. Apparently, the fresher the better and he maintained he could tell how old it was! Slasher had more prawns and squid for mains, while I had black tagliatelle with seafood sauce. Big meals, so could not finish them. However, a nice meal and good waiting ...
Day four, wandering around Venice

(David Liam Kyle/National Basketball/Getty Images)Cleveland Cavaliers interim general manager David Griffin says that the team will look to add players at the trade deadline despite being four games out of a playoff spot, according to Bob Finnan of The News Herald.The Cavaliers fired general manager Chris Grant last week after the team failed to play up to expectations and high-profile signing Andrew Bynum had to be traded. Griffin, who will hold the GM position for the remainder of the season, said the team will be buyers with an eye towards long-term goals over short-term."I don't see how you get better and win more games selling," Griffin said. "We're going to buy to the extent that it makes us better for the long haul."MAHONEY: Maurice Cheeks' dismissal marks latest letdown in Joe Dumars' long line of letdowns The Cavaliers have won their last two games after losing six straight.

It's less than two months to go 'til the wedding, and in my waking hours I am nothing but serene. Everything is progressing nicely, budget looks tight but good, and Mr Fiance and I are getting more and more excited about the big day.
So why are my nights plagued by stress dreams? I know BAB has talked about wedding nightmares before (wedmares, anyone?), but I didn't think it was a real thing until … well, it really started happening to me.
Mug via Etsy seller StudioCicadaHome
T-Swizzy may as well have been talking about weddings with this lyric.
Seriously BABs, night after night I am having nightmares: like the rings haven't arrived, or the dresses haven't been fitted before the day, or who knows WHAT?!
There's clearly a small, psychotic part of my mind which is secretly pooping itself about all things wedding. What I need to figure out, before I go completely insane, is what the heck is bothering it so much?!?
Have you guys been bothered by wedding-related stress dreams? What did you do to get rid of them? Help BABs!

Christmas One Of Top Days For Heart Attack Deaths
More people die from a heart attack on Christmas than almost any other day of the year.

Text messaging can help young people cut down on drinking, according to a small new study.
Holiday Blues can hit hard during the season of celebration. Cleveland Clinic psychologist Robert Rowney says financial stress and crowded travel conditions can trigger depression.
If you live in Vermont, congratulations — for the fifth year in a row, your state has been named as the healthiest in the country.
The United Health Foundation's 2011 America's Health Rankings, released Monday, also put New Hampshire, Connecticut, Hawaii and Massachusetts in the top five.

Hygiene isn't the only thing you have to worry about when it comes to how you smell. Your unique odors may be giving away what your personality is like, too.
While menopause is a fact of life for women, ads for testosterone replacement therapy drugs make it seem as though men suffer a similar fate in their old age. However — jokes aside — professionals, for the most part, believe there really is no inevitable male equivalent.
While most cases of lung cancer occur in smokers, nearly 20 percent of cases strike those who've never touched a cigarette. When it comes down to the facts, 32,000 nonsmoking Americans die from lung cancer every year — so many that experts say it's time to stop calling it "the smoker's disease."
Researchers have narrowed down the task of warding off Alzheimer's disease into a simple one — eating more fish.
In a new study, 260 people with an average age of 71 were followed to see how much fish they ate and how it was prepared. The results showed those who ate baked or broiled fish on at least a weekly basis were much less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease or mild mental impairment.
While surveys consistently show that more than 3 out of 4 smokers would like to quit, only about 10 percent of those who try each year are successful.
Fortunately, new studies show one way to raise those numbers is to treat smoking as a chronic disease — like high blood pressure — for which long-term treatment is offered.
The average American adult drinks about three cups of coffee a day, and while many can't imagine a morning without it, people taking certain drugs may want to think twice.
Studies show that more than a dozen medications — antidepressants, estrogen, and thyroid and osteoporosis drugs, for example — can be affected by coffee, which can block absorption or enhance the effects of the drugs.
If you've ever wondered why some people can get by on just a few hours of sleep while others need much more, scientists may have found an answer.
Research conducted on 4,000 Europeans discovered that those who had two copies of a particular variant of a gene called ABCC9, which influences sleep duration, generally reported sleeping less than those who had two copies of a different version of the gene.

"A debut novel of ambitious scope, Little Flowers raises some interesting questions regarding the consequences of murder, abortion, and pre-marital sex...[Lively] shows real talent and I hope she will continue to write because she brings a fresh viewpoint to the world inspirational novels." -- Scribes World Reviews
"Lively tries to personalize abortion by putting all these struggles in the lives of a likable set of characters...within this framework, Lively tries to render all the characters' struggles sympathetically, even mercifully. It is not a harsh book. To her credit, even the abortionists are not demonized. Some readers will be put off by the overt teaching passages. Others will find these passages reassuring, life-affirming. However, this book was published by a secular press, and that in itself is a small miracle." -- Maryanne Hannan, Southern Renaissance
