Is Hillary Clinton, Presidential Candidate the Britney Spears of Politics?
By: Brian Massey |
You may remember when Madonna crowned Britney Spears as the queen of pop with a kiss. In similar fashion, President Bill Clinton and the Democratic elite passed the presidential baton to Senator Hillary Clinton at about that same time. However, the presidential election cycle didn't get started until 2007. By that time, a cultural sea change was well under way that started with our twenty-somethings and crept into the ranks of thirty- and forty-somethings. The "Baby Boomers" are being assimilated as we speak, and Hillary Clinton faces the same non-starting reign that Britney Spears had after her coronation "The Kiss" was supposed to be the coronation of Britney Spears as the new Queen of Pop Music.

ACLU: Tenn Schools Illegally Blocking Access To LGBT Websites, Allows Ex-Gay Sites
Jim Burroway
April 15th, 2009
According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), as many of 107 Tennessee public school districts could be illegally preventing students from accessing accurate and balanced online information about LGBT issues. The same Internet filtering software however allows access to ex-gay groups. In a letter sent to Knox County Schools, Metro Nashville Public Schools, and the Tennessee Schools Cooperative, the ACLU demanded that they unblock access to LGBT sites.
This is from the ACLU's press release (not yet available online):
"When I found out about this web filtering software, I wasn\'t looking for anything sexual or inappropriate – I was looking for information about scholarships for LGBT students, and I couldn\'t get to it because of this software," said Andrew Emitt, a 17-year-old senior at Central High School in Knoxville . "Our schools shouldn\'t be keeping students in the dark about LGBT organizations and resources."
…In its demand letter, the ACLU notes that websites that urge LGBT persons to change their sexual orientation or gender identity through so-called "reparative therapy" or "ex-gay" ministries – a practice denounced as dangerous and harmful to young people by such groups as the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics – can still be easily accessed by students.
"One of the problems with this software is that it only allows students access to one side of information about topics that are part of the public debate right now, like marriage for same-sex couples," said Karyn Storts-Brinks, a librarian at Fulton High School in Knoxville, pointing out that the software blocks access to organizations that support marriage for same-sex couples like the Religious Coalition for Freedom to Marry or the Interfaith Working Group while allowing access to organizations that oppose marriage equality. "Students who need to do research for assignments on current events can only get one viewpoint, keeping them from being able to cover both sides of the issue. That\'s not fair and can hinder their schoolwork."
The schools in question use filtering software provided by Education Networks of America (ENA). The software's default settings blocks sites categorized as LGBT, which include:
- Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG)
- The Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN)
- Human Rights Campaign (HRC)
- Marriage Equality USA
- Religious Coalition for the Freedom to Marry
- The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD)
- Dignity USA (an organization for LGBT Catholics)
The ACLU is giving the districts until April 29 to come up with a plan to provide access to LGBT sites or any other category that blocks non-sexual websites advocating the fair treatment of LGBT people by the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year.

How do I get my 2 yr old son to start back sleeping in his own bed?
When he was first born, some nights i would put him in bed with me, because i was so scared he would roll over and stop breathing. . . first time mother thoguhts. Last year his father deployed to Iraq and the whole time he was gone my son slept with me because we comforted each other. Now that his father is back, he will fall asleep in our bed and i put him in his room, and he still wakes up in the middle of the night and comes and gets in our bed. Now that we're expecting again, I need him sleeping in his room & through the night. Help! Thanks.

Either you or your husband must consistently keep talking him back to his bed. 1st time you do it, you can say good night. But each time after that, SAY NOTHING, just put him back in his bed, and that's it. He'll eventually get the idea, but it WILL take time and patience, but it'll work w/ if you both are consistent enough w/ it. Good luck.posted 04/25/2011 by gypsyfilly
Thanks for the great advice. :). i hate seeing or hearing him cry, i feel like he will hate me or something. crazy thinking. it makes me feel bad, & i usually give in to him because of his tears. but since we are expecting again, im really determind to have him in his bed ASAP. ill try this, and get back to ya. thanks again. :)posted 05/03/2011 by connersmom1231

Yet another AQUARIUM bought
I have gone and bought a 5th aquarium, its 48" x 24" x 24". What would you put i it
What i didnt mention is i already have a 140ltr corner aquarium, 2 x 48" x 12" x 15" and a 36" x 12" x 15" so its number 5!!!! Its becoming an addiction
Mentioning your tap water parameters may help others suggest communities. And, are you partial to any particular fish or theme? It is easier to find fish to go in a tank when one knows the environment, such as a small river, lake, flooded forest, pond, etc.
Water is p.h 7.2 kh 10 gh 16. It is a completely blank page im open to ANY suggestions apart from marine, i dont have so much spare tiem for the vast amounts of maintainance needed
With the rainbow and/or livebearers, a small river aquascape would be lovely in that space. Fine gravel, rounded pebbles (river rock) of varying size, a few chunks of wood.
Maybe try some other type of rainbowfish..
go look at oddballfish.com
they have a bunch of interesting species there
how about blue eyed forktails??

Mobile accessory review: Olloclip lens adapters for iPhone 4/4S
Aimee Baldridge | Published: Oct 9, 2012 at 01:28 UTC0
Olloclip - compatible with Apple iPhone 4, 4S and iPod Touch 4th Gen
The Olloclip design isn't flawless. Because it's designed to fit snugly on the iPhone 4/4S, you can't put it on the phone when it's in a case. (A version for the iPhone 5 is due later this year.) And one minor inconvenience in daily use is the difficulty of cleaning the rear elements of the lenses. They're exposed and prone to collecting dust and lint when the Olloclip isn't on your phone, but unless you have the fingers of an elf, you can't easily reach them inside the permanently attached mount to clean them.
The front elements are covered with little plastic caps, and the Olloclip comes in a bag that helpfully doubles as a lens cloth, but you'll need a small brush or cleaning swab to rid debris from the rear elements regularly. The Olloclip also covers the iPhone's built-in flash, but given the quality of a typical iPhone flash photo, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
When it comes to lens performance, the Olloclip is stronger on versatility than optical quality. The wide-angle lens is arguably the best of the three optics. It softens the image slightly — more so around the edges — and causes some mild chromatic aberration along high-contrast edges. Neither effect degrades the image quality terribly, however. The image quality is competitive with that of other wide-angle iPhone accessory lenses. Of course, like other wide-angle lenses, it also produces some minor barrel distortion.
The fisheye lens is noticeably soft overall and very soft around the edges (soft edges seem to be typical in iPhone fisheye accessories across the board). Olloclip notes that optical flaws can be caused by a imperfect perfect alignment between the fisheye lens and the iPhone's native lens, and the fisheye design allows you to make a very slight adjustment to its alignment by pushing one side forward in its mount. In my tests, this had very little effect. Another thing I noticed about the fisheye is that although Olloclip describes it as giving a 180-degree view, the actual angle of view appears narrower. Schneider's iPro fisheye lens, which the company describes as having a 160-degree view, showed more of the scene.
The macro lens also has a noticeable problem with image softness, this time around the edges of images, which also show slight distortion. Olloclip recommends shooting a little over a centimeter away from the subject with the macro lens, and that was about right in my tests, but still, the results aren't exactly stellar. If you like selective focus, you might like the Olloclip's macro look, but your area of sharp focus will always be in the middle. You can get better edge-to-edge sharpness from the $15 Easy-Macro rubber band lens or even the $6 Close Up Jelly Lens.
The bottom line? If you're looking for a versatile iPhone 4/4S lens system that's convenient to carry and use, you won't find a better-designed device than the Olloclip. But design is one thing - while It excells when it comes to design, versatility and convenience, The Olloclip falls down when it comes to critical image optical quality.
What we like: Versatile, easy to use, well-made. Decent optical quality from the wide-angle lens.
What we don't like:Macro and fisheye lenses offer so-so image quality, limited area of sharpness from macro lens at close focussing distances, pretty pricey at $70.

New Yorkers love their movies! What else would you expect from Woody Allen's home town? While you can find mainstream theaters in almost every neighborhood, NYC also hosts alternative movies, as well as a wide network of film-makers to be.
Many of the movie theaters in New York show popular releases that are affiliated with the big Hollywood movie production houses (UA, MGM, Columbia Pictures, etc). You can usually see movies from noon to midnight at these theaters for $8.50-$9.50 a ticket. Since many movies sell out on weekends, you may want to reserve tickets in advance by calling (212) 777-FILM or buying through Moviefone.

New vandalism in turtle protection areas at Cape Hatteras has prompted more restrictions near the Rodanthe Pier.
The National Park Service says Sunday morning they found all closure signs and fencing protecting a turtle nest had been removed. The nest itself did not appear to be damaged.
Because of a court ordered consent decree, expanded buffers for turtle protection have been put in place 1.2 miles south of the pier.
The park service says it has also reopened the east side of Cape Point near Buxton to off-road vehicles. That area is now open to ORV traffic from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day.

Reviews for
Magic Mustache
School Library Journal Reviews 2000 March
K-Gr 3-A nose who lives with his parents, two eyes, goes to the market to trade the family's prized pair of eyeglasses for some much-needed food.Instead, he makes a trade with an old ear for a magic mustache that grows a beard that reaches to the sky. The nose climbs the beard, just as Jack, from "Jack and the beard talk," did before him. After two successful journeys in which he steals a golden toothbrush and a magic straw, the nose narrowly escapes the hungry giant mouth with a magic harmonica in tow. All ends well as the various body parts tumble to the ground and form a face (not unlike Mr. Potato Head). Amazingly, the author pulls it all off quite nicely, making the events sound somehow perfectly logical. The text exudes a partly irreverent, partly earnest tone and incorporates lots of wordplay. Appropriately, the art is pure silliness. The watercolor, gouache, and pen-and-ink illustrations show a nose with spindly arms and legs, a baseball cap, sweat socks, and high tops. He plays with his little red wagon, climbs down a ladder, peeks into a soup pot, and engages in all types of human behavior. The playful layout, with lines of type that rise and dip across the pages, adds to the fun. A delightfully wacky romp.-Denise E.

Norman Griffith - Scheduled to Visit against Nebraska
Wow, what a horrible story. I actually read this earlier today.
The artist formerly known as SouthernHawk
Oh my. What a terrible thing. Kind of makes you put all this FB stuff in perspective.
"They'd write things like...Lloyd. See you around....maybe."
--Lloyd Dobler
yes this was mentioned in the Linebacker Recruit thread. horrible story
Is there a link that doesn't require you to be a member or sign in?
The rumor is going about that Norman Griffith had committed to Iowa State only hours before his death (elsewhere in these forums). If so, we've lost one of our own, a young warrior who had chosen to become a Cyclone.
If the rumor is false, it nevertheless appears that Norman was giving us serious consideration.
Which one of our assistants would have been the lead recruiter of Norman? If the essence of successful recruiting is building relationships, this has to be a hard blow for our guy also. I'm thinking of our staff right now, too.
Were the mods here willing to organize and order it, I'd pledge money to contribute to a Cardinal & Gold flowers arrangement. I'd like to send my sentiments to the family.
Whatever monies collected beyond the cost of the flower arrangement could be sent to the charity/memorial of the family's choice.
If he had committed to us as reported, we lost one of our own. If he had not committed and we had offered him, it would be a fine gesture from we Cyclones nonetheless.

I had to read the comments. Is it just me or are there a ton of idiots in Florida? I don't think I've ever seen one post like that in Iowa.
Thanks for the link Dinger.
That is sad. Too often, I have to admit, it seems alot of times these kids - well let's just say it isn't always shocking. Too macho, put themselves in bad situations.
But it would seem that the kid did everything right - and still ended up on the losing end of the deal.
When will our society learn? A factor in the investigation might be he was wearing school colors? Unbelievable! That's worth killing somebody?

Note: Given the plethora of posts today, please make sure to click here for Yankeeist's Yankees-Rays Series Preview in case you missed it.
After carrying the offense for the first five months of the year, Robinson Cano — along with any last shreds of hope he may have had at winning the MVP — has really hit the skids in September. Cano's still in the top 10 in the AL in fWAR, but he'll have to completely turn it around during these last few weeks of the season if he's going to have any shot at MVP consideration. While certainly far from the entire story, part of the Yankees' current 1-6 slide and 5-6 record in September can be attributed to the vanishing act Cano's bat has pulled.
So what's going on with Cano? Here's a look at the numbers:
Obviously the usual small sample size caveats apply, but those are some pretty ugly rate stats for Cano thus far in September. He's been the worst everyday performer in the Yankee lineup by far; the only players with worse wOBAs in September are Greg Golson and Colin Curtis.
He's obviously barely walking and striking out a bit more frequently, though it seems like everyone on the Yankees has been K-ing much more often of late. Oddly enough, his line drive percentage is actually up from his season mark while his ground ball rate is down — given his .243 BABIP, it appears Cano may be suffering from a bit of bad luck, but it doesn't change the fact that it's been an ugly 44 plate appearances for Robbie.
Of course, Cano is far from the only culprit on offense. Here's a smattering of Yankee wOBAs for the month of September:
Francisco Cervelli: .524
Lance Berkman: .487
Alex Rodriguez: .463
Curtis Granderson: .399
Brett Gardner: .333
Marcus Thames: .310
Mark Teixeira: .308
Jorge Posada: .298
Austin Kearns: .279
Derek Jeter: .248
Nick Swisher: .230
On the strength of reaching base eight straight times in the first two games at Texas, Cervelli is somehow leading the team in wOBA for the month, but that obviously won't last. Berkman and A-Rod have clearly come to play since returning from the disabled list. And Grandy's played well in the last 11 games. Aside from those four, the rest of the lineup has been decidedly below-average, which isn't a surprise given how the team's played of late.
I know that guys like Cano, Tex and Swish — assuming he can get healthy — can turn it around. Truthfully, they really have no choice, considering that their bats have carried the team for much of the season and if the Yankees are to go anywhere in the postseason they'll need to continue to rely on that trio producing big hits, especially given how silent they were in the 2009 playoffs.

According to Ben Carpenter, a Wall Street veteran with a new career-development book, young people shouldn't necessarily be encouraged to "follow their dreams" or "feed their passion." Rather, they should be focusing more on what they're good at.
"I know it can be difficult to sacrifice your greatest passion for what's actually viable in the cold light of day," Mr. Carpenter said in a press release.
His new book, "The Bigs: The Secrets Nobody Tells Students and Young Professionals About How to Find a Great Job, Do a Great Job, Start a Business, and Live a Happy Life," advices young job seekers to ask themselves some hard questions: What are my talents and skills? What careers match up with them? In what fields might they be most in demand?
While "some people are lucky" in matching their passions with their careers, he recommends "pursuing a career path that you're reasonably sure will pay dividends, rather than placing a shaky bet on being able to beat the odds."
Mr. Carpenter argues that it's naturally easier to find a job that matches your skill set and also likely more fulfilling — though less "entertaining" — to have a long career doing a job well rather than finding "a long string of disappointments and unmet goals."
As far as passions, "work is work" and 40 hours a week at any job eventually becomes "drudgery." The "lucky" coveted jobs often lead to unpredictable hours, extreme pressure and unreasonable expectations.
"On the other hand, if your strategy is to match your skills to a job, you'll probably put more thought and research into your search, and your perspective will be more balanced," Mr. Carpenter wrote.
The book arrives as the NRF has rolled out its "This is Retail" campaign and other recruiting initiatives to overcome the perception that retail doesn't offer "richly rewarding and diverse career opportunities." Said Matthew Shay, CEO and president, of the launch of campaign last year, "Across the country, too many people still think retail is low-wage, low-tech, and low-talent. And if we don't start to dispel these myths, then we won't be able to compete for the high-quality talent our industry needs."
Should retailers position their companies as a more practical career choice for high school and college graduates?
The path to ruin can be "follow your passion." I can't tell you how many people have come up to me at trade shows after a speech and tell me "I am really good at buying things—that's my passion" but don't know how to run their business and make a profit.
20 years ago this month I walked out of a stable job as an executive in the retail business because the owner said the greatest asset a business has is its customers. I said, no your only asset is your employees. I'm out.
It took me a few months until I went to a Tony Robbins seminar to hear him say that you need to brand yourself so you stand out with customers. The Retail Doctor was born.
While I liked to talk, I didn't have a passion to talk. While I liked to give advice, I didn't have much experience getting paid for it.
It took work, it took time, it took adopting skills and always looking for how to improve. It has become my passion but wasn't my passion.
No regrets.
I would say to young people that your passion should be to learn, not a skill you "like" doing. The JK Rowling, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg stories are exceptions—not the rule, and even they had to struggle.
Rather than choose practical over passion, I have encouraged my children to blend both. Work takes up the majority of waking hours, so we should be doing something we are passionate about. Personally, I can imagine few things worse than working (and I know few people who work only 40 hours a week) in a job that failed to inspire. My advice has been to find fields where you want to work and then adapt your talents to positions in those fields. If you take the passion out of work it becomes drudgery.
I didn't know I had a passion and I stumbled into my career—because I could type. That was not unusual for women in the '60s. My passion is curiosity. That's why I went for my MBA; I wanted to know what companies did with the research results I provided. I didn't know I was an entrepreneur until I guessed the conglomerate was ready to sell off the company I worked for. Then I asked my colleagues to join me and buy the company. It was instinctive.
So if you're young and don't think you have a passion, go for what you're good at that will give you gratification. Look for a company that you can respect, where you can learn and where you will enjoy the people you work with. When you're young there are many roads you can take and opportunities to restart. No one should think they have only one chance at being satisfied in their career.
There's a movie, "Sliding Doors", that illustrates how random life can be. It's not a super-great movie, but the message is spot on. What would have happened if you chose the other door? If you're young, you still have a chance to step in and see for yourself.
Pragmatism ruled when I was at the career-deciding stage. My passion, music, was not going to pay the bills. My degree in engineering was not opening any doors. But my part-time job in a supermarket paid well and I was offered a management-track position.
Somewhere way in the back corners of my head I can still hear "Work is work. Fun is fun. Work isn't fun. Fun isn't work." Not sure where it came from, but pretty sure I didn't come up with that on my own.
Today I see youth who drift after graduation because they don't think they can work at a job that is beneath their dream. Maybe we gave them too many trophies as kids. Entitlement is a career path inhibitor.
I see other young graduates donating a couple of years to public service agencies such as AmeriCorps and Habitat for Humanity, just to name a couple. They are the smart ones, the ones who won't be stuck waiting for the dream job to show up.
I've been in the grocery business all my life. One regret might be that I was not aware of some really cool grocers like Publix, Wegmans, HEB and WinCo when I was in college, and that working for one of them is really a huge step up in class compared to the sterile publicly held chain stores. I believe I would have done well with one of them or a privately held regional chain.
At first I was horrible at my jobs after college and was fired. Then I hooked up with a company doing site location analysis. I was bad at it but loved it. Decided I was going to be the best at it by outworking and outsmarting my coworkers. In my opinion, I went from being the worst employee to the best. The result was that I was recruited by a competitor for a really well paying, cushy management job. Within six or seven years I kept up the workaholic pace and was moonlighting nearly every weekend and using up all my vacations. By the time I was in my early-40s I could have easily retired but I was having too much fun. I wasn't ready to give up the recognition and encouragement.
My advice is to find something you love and just go full throttle. The money will soon follow. Once you realize you have a fatter wallet than your boss, his boss and most of your colleagues you can tolerate just about any difficult situation. Confidence is bliss when you have no fear of being fired. More advice for the young is, think about if you were guaranteed not to fail, what job would you pick? Go do that job.
David Livingston, Principal, DJL Research
Deciding on a career path is one of the most difficult decisions a young person has to make. How many of us know at 17 or 18 years of age what we want to do for the rest of our lives? Or maybe we do not know what we want to do to start out in life. Those that do are fortunate. But I wonder how many who did know are still following the same dream.
I believe strongly that if you have a passion you should follow it. "Take your passion and make it happen" were the well-known words from a song whose title I forget as I am writing this. Was it from Rocky?
Ed Rosenbaum, CEO, The Customer Service Rainmaker, Rainmaker Solutions
The question posed by this article is like that of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Not sure there is a right answer but am going to take a shot at it.
The real question is, is your passion something that is just a dream, or something that you feel is something that is real, obtainable and you are willing to pay the price to achieve? On the hiring side, most people who say they are passionate about something are not truly passionate about it, meaning they are not willing to pay the price to make it a reality. Along with the passion, one also needs to have the talent and be willing to develop the skill (these people are few and far between).
In most cases, if people will focus on what they are good at, they will find themselves being very successful and then have the ability to pursue their passion as an avocation.
Some time in my early teens my Mom said don't go into retail. At the time she worked for Sears, Roebuck & Company and as a woman had found the road to advancement difficult. The good news was shortly afterwards she got the promotions she deserved.
At 16 I got a job at supermarket and found I loved the work and never left the retail food industry. I earned an associate's degree in food distribution, then a bachelor's degree in agricultural and food economics and finally secured an MBA. During that time, I transitioned from supermarkets to c-stores.
I was also fortunate to work initially for an entrepreneurial organization and help grow it, and then a major oil company and help them begin the transition from gas stations to convenience retailing. Both helped prepare me to take the next step.
Like Bob, a little over 20 years ago circumstances allowed me to found a consultancy that specializes in working with retailers and suppliers in what has become the convenience, retail and fuel marketing industry. I am one of the fortunate ones—I found an industry I love and have been able work in it throughout my career.
It is through people following their passions that our economy gains new technologies, creates new industries and grows small businesses, sometimes into global enterprises, i.e., Apple, Google, IBM—to name just a few.
I have faith in young people and their passions to excel, along with their idealistic egos, which often enable them to succeed. There will always be someone in business saying "No." The truly passionate will disregard this advice and either soar to success or reach a point where reality sets in and then fall back to a job that fits their skills. The important thing is to have tried.
I'm in the "follow your passion" crowd.
Karen S. Herman, Founder/Retail Design Strategist, Gustie Creative LLC
My passion for the food business started at 4 years old working by my dad's side, and really what could be better than that?
I have through the years filled up a bucket list of jobs/careers that I needed to try. At 18 I wanted to go to USC and become a comedian/actor, and my practical dad said NO. He told me "you will drink a lot on the beach, and probably flunk out. Go into a business degree, or anything else, and get something secure for your family someday." He was right about one thing, as I probably would have drank on the beach, but I wouldn't have flunked out. Anyway, I got my degree in business from Ohio State(Go Bucks), and eventually managed the business and then bought out my Dad in 1999.
Previous to owning the store, I entered an amateur show and won, earning a $10 bill signed by my friends, and still have it today. I was asked to MC a comedy show at a local resort for the summer, and ended up doing stand-up for 3 years, and got paid for it. Had a blast, and afterwords I continue to do stand-up for local charity events (okay, one item on the bucket list done).
Believe it or not, I wanted to wait tables in a restaurant, and moonlighted when I was first married to make extra money. Loved it, as it the ultimate test of your ability to offer great service, and I made good money doing it (scratch off another bucket list item).
The point is, I never lost my passion for other things, even though I love the food business, and I took the time to do these things without it causing me to lose focus on the prize of owning my own business. I now blog here, and work for 3 brokers on hot deals, and love doing consulting as well.
It takes passion to do any job well, and I encourage anyone to follow their dreams, with a dose of reality thrown in. Life is short, so pursue your dreams, and remember to focus on the prize, thru hard work, and your dreams will come true.
I wanted to be an architect, and followed that right up until I got my first college midterm back...at which point I realized "following my dream" would likely lead to compromise, disappointment and low salaries. So I vote with Ben, though the obvious question is, why you wouldn't also be "passionate" about something you were good at (I would like to think I'm ALMOST as good at working a spreadsheet as a t-square)?
But enough about that: I want Mr. Shay to tell us more about how "retail is low-wage, low-tech, and low-talent" is a myth...which part of it?
I'm one of the lucky ones and have been doing what I love since I was a kid. I just do it more serious—and for more money today. That said, why can't what we're good at and what we're passionate about be the same? For many, it is.
By the way, I do have a passion for playing ice hockey. I recognize I'm not that good at it. I'll never be pro, but I have a blast playing with my friends three mornings a week. By the way, we're in our 50s.
I hang around a lot of entrepreneurs who chose their path. They were good at business in general and adapted their skill to the business they are in. They didn't go out and say, I'll be a retailer specializing in (fill in the blank ___). They play to their strengths, which is business. They then pursue a business that they can be passionate about.
Shep Hyken, Chief Amazement Officer, Shepard Presentations, LLC
They usually go together. With some exceptions, most people are passionate about what they are good at. I was always a good writer and liked it. As I grew older, I become more passionate about writing. It led to a career. No regrets.
Meanwhile, it is wrong to encourage young people to follow their passion for some skill or career if they don't have the talent for it. One can be passionate about playing the piano and not have the skill for a career as a pianist. That was my story. I still like playing for myself though.
I liked what Steve Job's said relating to this piece and your questions.
The retail industry provided its own passion—so much happened and is happening that there is no end to the opportunities! I was lucky to stumble into this industry and experience for the last 30 years (it will be in 2015).

Mild cramping and discomfort can be normal during early pregnancy as the pregnancy implants and your uterus grows. Any menstrual-like cramping and bleeding can indicate a miscarriage and should be checked out by a doctor.posted 01/04/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

My New Shoes (Day 15)
View MUSIC2HISEARS's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from MUSIC2HISEARS
Saturday, March 09, 2013
Today is my 15th day in the Winter into Spring 5% Challenge 2013. And my first challenge as a Teddy Bear. So far 15 days in, I'm down 4 lbs and feeling great! The first two weeks were not without issue though.
First I tweaked my knee working out. I had just purchased a pair of Nike Musique IVs to do Zumba in and didn't think it was the twists and turns of Zumba, but still found myself avoiding the classes that had me doing much with my knees. But I also was doing the Biggest Loser Ultimate workout video while wearing my old ASICs running shoes, and there were a lot of squats and lunges that could wear on a knee, too.
But I started to notice that not only my knees were bothering me, but my ankles, too. And it wasn't while doing the Zumba, it was while walking or doing the BL Ultimate. It was just getting harder and harder to workout without hurting in some way or another. I was starting to dread my workouts.
Then one day recently, I received an email from Flylady.net. Oh, I get lots of emails from her daily and usually all testimonials to her great plan, but the month of March's new habit is getting dressed to the shoes...lace up shoes. So in one of her morning musings (as she calls them), she talked about the importance of the shoes, and how they get us going and keep us going throughout the day. But the thing that stood out the most was that our shoes don't last forever, and that they do break down and cause us more pain and injury than one would imagine.
Shoes have a lifespan, and according to Flylady.net, when you wear them everyday that lifespan is actually only 3 to 4 months. While it did surprise me, it didn't. You see a coworker who is a runner had actually stated once that you should replace your running shoes every 300 to 400 miles. As a non-runner, I thought that I wouldn't reach that many miles anytime soon. I thought that my measly 1 to 2 mile walks a day would allow me to stretch out that shoe wear another 9 months.
But, I don't just walk for fitness in my trainers. I walk at work. I walk at the store. I walk the dogs. I do aerobics and circuit training in them. I basically live in them when I don't have to wear dress shoes to work (which is about half the work week). My shoes were getting more of a workout than I had originally given them credit. And my knees and ankles were trying to tell me that the shoes I bought this time last year were no longer viable to a healthy workout. In fact, they were impeding my workout.
I had noticed last workout that I wasn't able to balance myself very well while doing lunges. Running shoes and cross trainers should offer enough stability to help keep your balance during crucial steps, moves, and turns. They should offer enough arch support for your type of foot.
Several years ago, as I would walk my dog, I found myself having to plant my feet more often than not due to the constant pull of the dog on the leash (we were leash training at the time). One morning, I woke up unable to put weight on one of my feet. I had not done anything to hurt myself. It was the same old routine day in and day out. But, one thing stood out: I was putting constant undue pressure on my feet when trying to guard myself from getting yanked into a face plant by the dog. This caused Achilles Tendinitis in my ankle, and it is something that just doesn't go away.
After resting it for awhile, I finally had to have orthotics made to fit my foot, because the tendinitis wasn't the only thing wrong with my feet. I'm flat footed, too. When I found that out, I started doing some research and found that ASICS makes running shoes made specifically for people who over pronate, or better known as flat footed.
My first pair felt like butter on my feet! Oh, they felt so good and made walking so much easier. My tendinitis didn't flare up as often and my knees didn't ache so much after walking the dog. Even having to constantly plant my feet to keep him from pulling me down didn't hurt.
But, I only bought new trainers every year, usually in the spring, which means sometime in the middle of that year, my ankles would start to ache and swell after walking and my knees would start to hurt again. I would get discouraged and cut back on my walking, if not cutting it out completely.
So, here I am a year into the same pair of ASICS and finding myself back in the same shoes, no pun intended, with achy, swollen ankles, tired and sore feet, and knees that tell me it's time to quit. Then I receive that email from the Flylady. I should have reacted that day, but I didn't. I kept working out in the same old, tired shoes, with the same old results of aches and pains.
Well, last night I said enough was enough and took the Flylady's advice and bought a new pair of running shoes. Yes, they are ASICS again. At first, after my heart recovered from being overcome by the prices, I wanted to just buy the cheapest pair they had. But I didn't, they were not shoes made for stability and were made for a neutral foot. I finally decided on a mid-range pair that when I first slipped my feet into felt like nothing my feet had ever stepped into. I could tell immediately what my feet had been missing out on for months: proper support.
Needless to say I purchased that pair on the spot. Sure I wanted to cry as the cashier rung up my sale, but I reminded myself that the cost of medical care for my feet was even more costly. They were well worth the price.
Today, my knees don't hurt, my ankles are not swollen and achy, and my feet are thanking me. Sure, my 44 year old feet are still telling me that I had been bad for way too long and are aching a little. But, today I plan on taking the dog out for a long walk to break in my new trainers. Then to test them with the BL Ultimate and the constant need for lunges and squats.
All I know is that I won't go a year without buying a new pair of running shoes again. My feet are way too important to me to not keep them well pampered and supported. My whole body relies way too much on them.

Glad to hear that you listened to your feet! I think I need a new pair pretty soon too, luckily I'm not to the stage of pain, but the shoes just don't feel like they used to. Thanks for the reminder of how important this is.

Bugzilla – Bug 11
qsub -k option works in reverse of documented behavior
Last modified: 2009-10-15 22:00:46 MDT
You need to
log in
before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
One of our user support folks reported the following:
Based on the 'qsub' manpage, I am led to believe that:
"#PBS -k e" should keep stderr, discard stdout
"#PBS -k o" should keep stdout, discard stderr
I find that the opposite is true: I must use '-k o' to get error messages.
Is this a known issue with PBS? I haven't noticed anyone using it, but
for debugging purposes, I think this could be a good alternative to for
those that use "#PBS -j n".
-------------- example ----------------------
ksharkey@krakenpf5(XT5):~/scratch> cat test.pbs
#PBS -l walltime=00:00:01,size=8
#PBS -N qsubOptions
#PBS -k o
echo hi
sleep 100
ksharkey@krakenpf5(XT5):~/scratch> qsub test.pbs
ksharkey@krakenpf5(XT5):~/scratch> cat qsubOptions.e174148
=>> PBS: job killed: walltime 20 exceeded limit 1
ksharkey@krakenpf5(XT5):~/scratch> cat qsubOptions.o174148
cat: qsubOptions.o174148: No such file or directory
I've been able to reproduce this on TORQUE 2.1.11, 2.3.5, and 2.4.1b1.
in your example, the file should be in the user ksharkey's home directory, but
you are running cat in ~/scratch. What #PBS -k o tells torque to do is to copy
the stdout file into the user's home directory on the execution host rather
than copying it to the submit directory back on the submit host (that is, k -o
means "_keep_ the stdout file on the execution host, do not copy back to the
submit host"). With NFS mounted home directories #PBS -k o would have no
effect if one were to submit a job directly from their home directory and use
the default name for the stdout file. Since you did not specify a -k option for
the stderr file, it was staged back to the submit directory as usual.
This is my interpretation of the man page anyway
Yes, this is how it should work. -k means keep on the exec host, it does not
discard the files, just doesn't transmit them back to you.
Should be closed as INVALID.

He's always up for a great time, and Will Ferrell revisited his college glory days on Monday evening (October 14).
The "Old School" star donned the Tommy Trojan mascot attire and served as a drum major for the University of Southern California marching band.
Their comic chemistry is a huge box office draw and now Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly will reunite for "Devil's Night."
According to TheWrap, the comedy follows Leonard and Gabe, who used to be best friends until one October 30th night destroyed their relationship. Fifteen years later, the pair are brought together on "Devil's Night" to save their town from supernatural forces.
He's not usually one for television commercials, but Will Ferrell couldn't resist channeling his Ron Burgundy vibe for a new series of Dodge Durango spots.
The "Old School" actor stands next to a white horse and the new 2014 SUV and extols the virtues of the Durango's 360-horsepower.
He's the king of awkward comedy, and Will Ferrell brought his signature flavor of funny to the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards last night (September 22).
The "Anchorman" hunk was joined by his three young sons as he came out on stage to present a pair of trophies.
Heading out early to work on his fitness, Will Ferrell went for a run down Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles on Tuesday (August 27).
The "Anchorman" star sported a black T-shirt, black and red running shorts, and a baseball cap as he carried his water bottle along with him.
Taking an unusual approach to film promotion, a tell-all memoir written by Ron Burgundy will hit bookstores in November.
Titled, "LET ME OFF AT THE TOP!: My Classy Life and Other Musings," by Will Ferrell's "Anchorman" character will be released just one month ahead of "Anchorman: The Legend Continues."
It's easily one of the most-anticipated films of the decade, and "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" has just dropped a full trailer for all to enjoy.
Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner are back with a 1980s-flavored adventure that's set to hit theaters on December 20th.
Whetting fans' appetites for more of Sand Diego's top news anchor, Paramount Pictures released a new poster for "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" on Tuesday (June 18).
With the release was the quote, "Here's a poster as an appetizer to trailer coming tomorrow. Yes I'm in a kimono smoking a cigar while writing this."

Comsewogue School District Hosts Rally Against State Testing
School & Education, Local News
Teachers, parents, students, and community members all gathered at Comsewogue High School to demand that the Common Core State Test be either scrapped or overhauled.
On Saturday, parents, teachers, students, and community members gathered on the football field at Comsewogue High School in Port Jefferson Station to rally to end the Common Core state testing that reflected poorly on students and teachers alike.
According to state education officials, only 37.5% of students in grades 3 through 8 passed the newly updated math tests this year, whereas in 2012, 75.4% of students passed the exam. The spiraling trend was also seen in English, where 39.6% of students passed this year, when 67.2% passed the year before.
Those at the rally called for the test to either be stopped or changed to accurately reflect the students' academic success without having students tested into the ground.
"There are people in positions of power who are hurting our children, and as the adults in the room, we have to make it stop," said Beth Dimino, President of the Port Jefferson Station Teachers Association.
Superintendent of Comsewogue School District Joe Rella also supported the rally and the frustration felt by school and community members across the board.
"Children will not understand how they went from doing very well to failing in three years," wrote Rella in a letter to parents after the poor test results were announced. "The commissioner is telling them that they aren't learning less. They won't understand. I don't understand!"
Assemblyman Al Graf also joined the fight for education reform. Graf, who also has a degree in elementary education, has set up a petition on his site, Fix New York Schools.
In his petition, Graf writes, "complying with the regulations to receive funding from the Federal Government's Race to the Top Program costs far more to implement than we actually receive from the Federal Government. Competing for the Race to the Top funding is tantamount to spending ten thousand dollars to get a two thousand dollar grant which does not make sense and is fiscally irresponsible."
"We need to return to what has worked in previous years," Graf adds. "Government should not be tinkering with the education experience of our children, while ignoring the voices of the professionals in the classroom."
Graf's petition already has over 3,300 signatures.

State testing has long been unfair, simply because all children do not test well. I agree that something needs to be done, but don't know what changes that they should enact to evaluate students.

How do I get my very independant 15 month old daughter to play with me?
She is perfectly happy to play by herself all day. I'm a stay at home mom and would love for her to interact with me just as much as she interacts with her toys. When I try to get her to play, she just walks away babbling. Am I doing something wrong?

My 15 month old daughter is the same way! I just move her from room to room with me and tell her about what im doing (folding laundry, dishes, ect.) i try to give her something that partains to what im doing. I give her clothes to fold if im folding and stuff like that. She definatley still plays by herself but it makes me feel like we are at least playing by ourselves together! Every once in a while she climbs in my lap with a book and it makes it that much more rewarding!posted 01/18/2009 by leslie_linn
My 4 yr old daughter is the same way, and always has been. What I have found over the years is that if I offer a few ideas, she will often take me up on one: Would you like to play PlayDoh with me? Can I read to you? Can I play dolls with you? But as often as not, she's content to play alone. I just try to stay close by so that when she does share something she's doing I can react enthusiastically. I am also more careful about saying "not right now" or "later" on the occasions when she does ask me to read or play, even if it is somewhat inconvenient at the time - with her, the moment is quickly lost if you put her off. Now that my daughter is older, I am glad she has the skill of being able to play alone happily. It's much better than the opposite extreme, even if it's sometimes hard for us moms!posted 01/14/2008 by lizzy_v
The best thing to do is act like you are having fun, laugh or shriek, playing with a toy or reading a book and she will run over to see what you are doing. Then talk to her about the toy or try to read the book to her.posted 11/05/2007 by SLizS
I think the answer to this problem is to pretend to be sad and tell your daughter that you don't liek to play by yourself..and in all you can play with her but she could learn a lesson too!posted 12/06/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I was really looking forward to reading the answer to this question. My 15 month old is the EXACT same way. Sorry I can't help, I'm in the same boat.posted 09/13/2007 by alanapuleo

Distortion Pedal
I'm looking for a distortion pedal to add in front of my AC30.
With singled coiled guitars you get a fantastic overdrive but I'm wanting to play heavier.
Think old school punk, old green day (dookie), sex pistols, even soaring queen leads which I can't achieve with single coils, (chimey and not enough gain). The hard rock +classic rock bands like Guns n Roses . I'm also looking for a fuzz though (Hendrix, The Black Keys). I'm not sure if there are any '2 in 1' pedals or if there are any great deals out there for two (like a big muff + a distortion pedal).
Just a nice crunchy sound which would also be great for leads.
Preferred new (musoscorner.com.au) but don't mind if its used.
Budget would be around $150AUD (don't think I could get two pedals for this budget)
I was looking at getting a RAT.
You will probably have to settle for either a fuzz or distortion. I know some high end fuzz pedals can get pretty close to a punkish distortion.
However, I didnt really like the Rat I tried. But I didnt play with it for long.
Though..... If you are interested..... I have a big muff pi. I hate it. Just dont like fuzz pedals. I opened it up thinking about modding it but never got around to it. Its missing some screws but its in perfectly working condition. If you are interested in it, I would sell it dirt cheap. Just PM me.
You sir must not like fuzz,
Rat is officially the best thing ever and can get pretty fuzzy and a big muff will always do you right. Id reccomend a rat to start with for an ac30, works for me, I use a musket which is a muff clone pedal.
Listen to some demos online first.
The Rat can certainly get to GN'R levels of dirt that I know. However for a fuzz I'd recommend something else entirely, although the Rat can also work kind of as a fuzzy distortion.
By the way, Queen leads were always achieved with single coils ;) But Brian May wired them weirdly and was in essence able to combine the singles on his guitar to humbuckers.
Yea it was a complete impulse buy. And I played a rat shortly after buying it. Never liked the fuzzy dirt.
TS, Its been a long time since Ive played the rat. But looking up some demos I think It might fit in with what you want well enough to get away with.
Though, my Muff is big and fuzzy and definitely for sale. :p: Gotta love shameless plugs..
Suhr Riot
I'm not a fan of fuzz pedals either. I discovered this after buying a Big Muff Germanium Pi - it sounds great when I'm just jamming around, but it doesn't really suit my style that well for the songs I record.
TS - The EHX Big Muff Germanium Pi could be a good one for you to look at. It's a good fuzz pedal as well as a good overdrive pedal. It works well with my AC4, so I'd guess it would be even better with your AC30.
whoa... you joined here in 2001.....
I cant remember the bowing smiley.. but I would post it if I did.
Big Muff =/= Fuzz
excuse my ignorance... but wwwhhhhaaaatttt??? I thought Big Muff was the fuzz standard on which all other fuzzes are judged.
You would be wrong.
Big Muff is more of a cross between a fuzz and a distortion.
Fuzz Face or Tone Bender would be the standard, and even that's up for debate depending on the type of fuzz you want.
Everything is up for debate!
EHX describe the Big Muff I have as a distortion, every review I've ever read about it describes it as a fuzz. I don't think there's really a definitive place where fuzz becomes distortion & vice versa, all pedals are different and there's a lot of pedals that sit somewhere on the curve between the two sounds.
Yep - I believe November 2001 was when UG was updated with the ability to sign up as a member. There are a couple of other guys from around that time that are still here, but there aren't many of the original UGers left - and TBH, I've come & gone a few times over the years so there are newer members who could reasonably argue they've been here longer than me due to never having left.
Thanks for some of the suggestions guys! Anyone got advice though on just a nice crunchy distortion pedal? Forgot to mention the only overdrive/distortion pedal I own is the SD-1 which definietely is not suitable.
Talk to Tim Green of Toyroom FX.
He's greeny23 on here.
Have him build you a King of Tone
If you want versatile try grabbing a Dr Scientist The Elements. They're a bit more than your budget will allow (Going by the PGS price, shipping is cheap too) but they're plenty versatile.
Otherwise, for distortion I'd recommend the Hardwire SC2. Good, versatile distortion pedal. Won't do your fuzz but it'll get you the distortion tones you want otherwise.
+1 on the riot
Crunchbox, lovepedal superlead, wampler pinacle.
This page needs more rat
Riot > Rat
I have a Rat and love it for exactly this. :shrug:
Though I do not agree with darkwolf on the whole Muff aint a fuzz debacle, the Tim Green suggestion is a great Idea.
Plus you live in Australia so it would be even better. He has ToyRoom FX. Go to there website, and send him an Email describing what you want. He can build it. Plus, it would be hand built by a bad ass. So its a double win

Very few people can lay claim to having a miniature nature preserve in their backyard. There's the local wild bird population; the privacy afforded by tall, thick brambles; the lack of grass that needs mowing; and, of course, the clear and present threat of a fire fueled by a highly flammable layer of shrubs and close proximity to a 5,000-acre natural area that had not seen a wildland fire in 60 years.
Joanne and Dick Bierschenk, residents of seven-year Firewise community Cragsmoor, NY, had that precise situation on their property. Their home was selected as a Firewise "demonstration" house.

Good game but bad for bugroman9441 | July 7, 2013 | See all roman9441's reviews »
The game concept is like fleet command which i love so much. But the game is lack of unit not so many unit available . And the animation of it seem to be bad even fleet command release on 1999 look better than this game. But some how I'm still found that this game is the best fleet command out there in the market with the fair price. But lack of save option kill me

This graffiti artist/break dancer talks about how she got into a bad relationship, got pregnant, and then found redemption in Jesus Christ and a new lease on life.
"My name's Kristy. I draw. I dance. I break dance. I do illustration and murals. My company is Formulated Lines and I love doing it.
"I love various types of dancing, but definitely break dancing is the most passionate. What drew me to break dancing was the fact that there were no girls I knew that did it. I had a brother growing up, and everything he could do, I could do too.
"I just got into the whole New York culture, and from doing that, I met a lot of other friends that were from up North. A lot of my friends that I became really close with were African American.
"Yeah, I looked different and, yeah, everything else about me is different, but that is who I am, because I love all this stuff, all this hip-hop.
I grew up in church my whole life. When I was probably around 16, you start to be a teenager and, 'Oh, I know everything.' That's where God kind of started fading away. I prayed, I still knew He was there, but I'm like, 'OK, I'm going to do what I think is fun.'
Read her complete story at CBN.com
Do you ever think that there is no end to the problems you face? Do you feel that with each step forward, adverse circumstances pull you two steps back? If so, then welcome to the majority. Like most people Kristy Burchard feels the same way. A wise person rightly said that pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. You have to decide how much suffering your pain is going to inflict upon yourself and those around you. Here are a few suggested ways of thinking that will help you turn adversity into a positive experience.
Adversity is a Symptom, Not a Cause
Frequently adversity is a symptom of some other, deeper problem. You just lost your job, and you may think this is a devastating turn of events. But do you try to figure out why you lost a job? What made you so dispensable? Was it the right career for you? Similarly, if you are sick or your loved one is sick, try to figure out why the sickness has happened. Is it your lifestyle? Is it the environment around you? Is it simply your attitude? As physical pain is a symptom of some malady, your adversity is a symptom of another problem. Although your first priority is to handle the current situation, you should make a mental note of the source of the problem. Unless you solve it, you'll keep getting into similar situations.
Adversity is a Lesson
The busyness of our lives doesn't allow us time to pause and appreciate the people we have around us. Adversity often awakens us to the treasures that are far more important than money and material possession: our health, our family and our friends. Sudden financial losses teach us that we shouldn't base our happiness on money. An illness teaches us to be humble and lead a healthy life. A sudden loss in the family makes us appreciate the cycle of birth, life and death. Such things may seem superficial, but you should learn from adversities if you don't want them to control your life.
Adversity is Guidance
Sometimes adversity comes to your life to suggest that it's time to change course. For example, when someone leaves you there is no use sulking and blaming yourself (and even the other person, frankly). Instead you should take it as a sign that a newer and more enlightened relationship should be sought that is more meaningful or constructive. Or maybe you should invest your time in other pursuits for the time being."
I was complaining that I had no shoes till I met a man who had no feet," Confucius said, and this is so true. Rather than getting bogged down with our own problems we should pay attention to people who happily survive, and even prosper, despite all odds. When you open your eyes and have a look at the larger world, you'll be happy to know how well life has treated you.
We at BNz wanna thank Kristy for her testimony and her story. Indeed Kristy you've overcame adversity and we wanna thank you for sharing your story of inspiration with so many others that seek the very same will-power and motivation.
Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortunes; but great minds rise above them.

The farther along I get the more baby buying crazy I've become. I haven't actually bought anything yet, but I've got my researched list ready.
I was thinking, since I won't know what works best for little one and I until he/she arrives, I'd buy the small bottles of different brands I want to try out (like buying small packages of different diapers.)
So what are YOUR preferred brands. For EVERYTHING baby care related! Do you use the name brands? Or does the store brand work better for you? I want the whole list!
