That's what we do here in The Healthy Habits Coaching Club!
If you click around the tabs above, you'll learn why I created this club - and find all the details and information you need to come join us!
IN A NUTSHELL, THOUGH (for those of y'all who just want to cut to the chase...)
For more details and specifics, please click around the tabs above. And if you still have questions, please don't hesitate to drop us a line and ask!
"Nicole Burley's Healthy Habits Coaching Club is a fabulous resource and support system for people looking to make healthy lifestyle choices part of their daily lives. Nicole provides a bounty of ideas, suggestions, recipes and inspiration."
The Healthy Habits Coaching Club is a place for you to get healthy and lose weight - but, more importantly, it's a place for you to actually maintain your results for the long-term.
How many times have you lost weight only to quickly regain some, all, or even more than what you lost?
How many times have you gone on a cleanse or a detox or a re-boot only to immediately revert to your old eating habits as soon as the regimen was over?
When I had my private coaching practice, I heard this ALL the time. You are not alone! Most people are really, really good at losing weight - but they are completely in the dark about how to actually keep the weight off once they've lost it.
It's not a surprise. We're taught how to 'diet'. We're taught to be always trying to lose weight.
But we're not often taught how to live a happy, healthy life and enjoy a happy, healthy relationship with food!
This club and all of our wonderful members take a long-term view of health and weight loss.
We want results that last - and we want to feel peaceful and joyful around food.
We are sick of yo-yo dieting and jumping on every new nutrition fad and fitness trend. It's exhausting, it's demoralizing and it doesn't even work.
It doesn't even work, you guys!!
We want to practice a very simple collection of proven healthy habits, day in and day out, because THAT'S how you lose weight and keep it off - and THAT'S how you actually enjoy your life along the way.
It's not sexy, it's not flashy - it just works.
You see, when you get right down to it, health and weight loss is actually not that complicated. Here's how you do it:
Don't stop after 10-days, or 30-days, or 90-days.
Don't. Stop.
But...most people stop.
They stop because they don't have the right mindset, or the right support, or they don't see the results fast enough and so they get bored.
And so they grow impatient and impulsive - and they turn to yet another unsustainable get-thin-quick program (or detox or diet or cleanse) that doesn't actually work for the long term.
Most people want to believe that there is a magical method out there that will allow them to avoid doing the regular, day-in and day-out stuff that brings lasting results.
But it's an illusion - as you have probably discovered time and time again.
Well, I'm here to tell you.....
And so I created The Healthy Habits Coaching Club to give you a place to stay focused, motivated, and inspired about the day-in and day-out stuff.
The Club is a place where you will learn how to lose weight healthfully - and then actually, joyfully, easily keep it off.
The Club is a place that will give you a simple collection of healthy habits that you can practice day in and day out.
The Club is a place that will give you all the support, accountability, and encouragement that you could possibly need to keep going this time.
As you move on to the next section, I'll tell you exactly how the club works and all the features you'll get to enjoy!
"In Nicole's Heathy Habits Coaching Club, I have no choice but to get real about my health and my diet. The best part is that there is no judgment. If you need to make a healthy life change, this club is the best community to help support that change."
The club has 3 main features that all work together to maximize your results and long-term success. Don't worry - they're all super-easy and, dare I say, incredibly fun.
Your membership in the Club gives you exclusive access to my specific sequence of Monthly Moves. This is the effective day-in and day-out stuff I've been talking about.
A Monthly Move is a simple, doable, proven healthy habit that you will work on for 30 days straight. I'll send you a new one every month - right to your email inbox!
FACT: The best way to make healthy changes in your life that will actually stick for the long-term, is to incorporate them slowly, one at a time.
You're not going to have to change everything all at once. Why? Because it won't last!
This Club is about getting results that last - which means doing things in a way that works.
I'm going to help you go slow and steady - one change at a time - so that your new habits can last for the long-term.
If you ever get stuck, though, you have all your fellow club members to turn to. And - remember - I will be right there alongside you, as well!
We will make sure that you have all the information you need - and that you don't lose steam!
Click here to see some examples of the Monthly Moves you'll be practicing!
Keep in mind, these are only excerpts of the FULL Monthly Moves, which you'll have access to as a club member!
This means the whole grain and nothing but the grain!
Whole grain breads, chips, crackers, cereals, and pastas DO NOT COUNT for this Move.
Eat the whole grain in its whole grain form.
Ideally, you want to see the word 'WHOLE' as the very first word in the ingredient list. This means that it contains predominantly WHOLE grains. You don't need to throw out perfectly good food, but start becoming aware of what may be lurking in your kitchen! Commit to shopping differently on your very next shopping trip.
For the next 30 days, MOVE your body for at least 30-minutes every day.
Wait - what? Only 30-minutes? What's THAT going to do?
A lot.
Whatever your current stance on movement, exercise, physical activity, I would encourage you to read through this Monthly Move and see what kinds of thoughts bubble up for you. BODIES and physicality and weight and movement can be complicated sometimes. It's important, in my opinion, to unearth all of your thoughts and feelings about it - so that you can truly act in your own best interest.
I want to start off by telling you what makes me really sad about poor sleep.
Sleep is one of the greatest things you can do for your health - and yet it is usually the FIRST thing that gets compromised when life gets hectic. We think we don't really need it because, in the short-term, it seems like we can get by with less.
We seem to take pride in getting by on little to no sleep - and it's never made sense to me!
It's like taking pride in using less OXYGEN than everyone else. Who cares? No one is keeping score. The only one who suffers is YOU. And, at least in my book, it's not okay for you to suffer in your life - at all - if you can help it. And - I promise - this is something that is within your power to control.
As you keep reading, I'll tell you about the next awesome feature of The Club - which is actually my favorite!
The Healthy Habits Coaching Club features a private online community that exists on Facebook. This is where you're going to find all the support and encouragement you need to stay focused on your day-in and day-out healthy habits.
This is my favorite part of the club!
The private Facebook group is where you can declare your goals, track your meals and your exercise, ask for advice, play along with group challenges, and make connections with other club members that will both lift you up and keep you accountable!
If you check Facebook even once a day it's easy to participate in the private group (And - ahem - speaking for myself, I know that I check Facebook way more than once a day!).
I actually hang out in our Facebook group quite a bit, so I'm frequently available to you to answer questions, issue fun challenges, and encourage your success!
And, of course, you'll be in the company of all your fellow club members who will always cheer you on - or listen to you vent!
Here are some examples of the kinds of things we chat about in our group!
And now, as you read on, I'll tell you about the final feature of the club - which is where you can really kick things up a notch.
Once a month, we come together for an hour-long group coaching session via teleconference. These sessions are never the same twice, but they are always a blast!
This is your chance to raise your hand and volunteer for a little one-on-one coaching with me about your unique circumstances and challenges. I try to get to as many club members as possible - so if you've been stuck or stymied in any way at all, you are wholeheartedly encouraged to raise your hand on these calls and we'll talk it out!
These group sessions are hugely beneficial for everyone - not just the folks who volunteer - so, if you aren't quite ready to raise your hand and ask a question, you are more than welcome to sit back and listen, and reap all the benefits from hearing other club members speak up and share!
The tele-gatherings are generally held on a Sunday night at 8:30pm EST (always subject to change). If you can't attend live, NO WORRIES. A recording will always be made available in our Facebook group. You won't ever miss out!
And if you have a question you'd like to ask, but you can't make it to the session, you can always email it to me and I will answer it on the recording so that you receive a proper response.
"The Monthly Moves are awesome. I'm always amazed at how such a simple little tweak to my daily routine can have such an impact. And working on these habits one at a time has been so much more effective than trying to change everything all at once - which usually gets overwhelming, and then I quit. This feels like it can last. Nicole's Healthy Habits Coaching Club has done wonders for me - far beyond what I thought I was seeking when I joined."
Start anytime, stop anytime - stay as long as you like. All you need is the internet - and a desire to take charge of your health!
Absolutely. I am delighted to offer you a 30-day, no-obligation free trial. Cancel any time before your 30-days are up and there's no charge at all. Easy-peasy. Most folks tend to stick around, though ;)
No worries at all. You never have to do anything you don't want to do! The Monthly Moves are all based on proven healthy habits where there is scientific consensus about their effectiveness. That said, if there's a Move that's just not doin' it for ya, you are welcome to revisit a previous Move or select something that feels more appropriate for you. As long as you're working on SOMEthing, you'll be doing just fine!
Nope. Start anytime, and stop anytime. You are always in charge.
Yes! But then I would strongly recommend making an effort to attend our live monthly tele-gatherings. Having some sort of social support is extremely beneficial when you're trying to change your habits - and, if you aren't on Facebook, you won't be able to enjoy all the encouragement, information, and connection that the group provides. If that's the case, I would encourage you to make use of the tele-gatherings that are included in your membership - so that you can ask me questions directly, raise your hand for some coaching, and maximize your success in the Club.
The monthly tele-gatherings are generally held on a Sunday night at 8:30pmEST. You'll receive the schedule with exact dates when you join. I realize that finding a single gathering time that works for everyone in the club is highly unlikely (!) - but we've managed to have the most success with Sunday evenings.
If you are not able to join us live, fear not! Each gathering is recorded and made available to you within a few days. You will be able to benefit from hearing the discussion, Q&A and coaching that transpired.
You are also invited to submit a specific question to me in advance, if you can't attend live, and I will move mountains to answer your question at the gathering so you can hear it on the recording. No worries.
"This is a group of loving, supportive, encouraging, and funny people! I carry them with me on days I can't get online and check in with them when I am struggling."

Aquarium stand sizes.
Hello every one,
I am building some sump filtersl, and would like to get some usable stand dimentions( the open space inside the stand). i know there are many verations for the same size tank. i am looking for around a 30gal-180gal, if you have larger and use a standard size stand i could use the mesurements. please when you reply remember to in clude unit of mesurements, i will then convert them to what I need.
You could make a stand, I personal can build them if you want aslong as you can pick it up around boston. I don`t know the stand deimensions, but somebody else might
The stand dimensions are going to be dictated by a number of factors too many to mention here.
Mainly though the size of the display tank and the size of the tank you are using as a sump. There is also the viewing height, do you want? or need a high stand to accommodate the sump.
Have a look at this video.

Recurring Role
In this episode Monk willingly goes in the lift but later on we find out that he has a fear of lifts.
After examining the footprints left by the perpetrator, Monk simply concludes that they are "big." But the depth of a footprint is an excellent indicator of weight.
When Stottlemeyer and Disher are in the office trying to figure out how Dale could have committed the crime, the overhead lights are down low and there is a lamp on (which would mean that it was night), but the overhead lights outside Stottlemeyer's office are on full brightness.
It seems odd that Monk just blurts out to the two lemonade girls what his psychological condition is. It sets up the running lemonade gag but otherwise it's rather awkward.
In the game of Clue, only the guesser is supposed to look at the answer cards.
If Dr. Vezza was conceived during the blackout of (November) 1965, he would turn 36, not 37, in 2002. Maybe the writers forgot about the nine months between conception and birth?
This episode is chiefly an amusing riff on Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe: what if the fat genius had been evil? Unfortunately, since there is really only one other character (other than the regulars cast members), it's not too difficult to figure out who the actual culprit is.
Why does Monk go on the elevator if he is afraid to? He gives us a list in "Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man" and elevators are on it.
When Disher talks about sending Sharona undercover, he asks, "You still have your license, don't you?" He doesn't seem to be trying to insult her or imply she's a lousy nurse, but the whole point of her hanging around Monk at all those crime scenes is that she's his nurse. It just seems odd that Disher would wonder if she has her license.
Given Dale's smarts and legal expertise, it seems unlikely that he will be convicted even if Vezza turns state's evidence. Unless he was foolish enough to leave some evidence that he was blackmailing Vezza, it'll be pretty hard to make a case. Will Dale return in a future episode as a free man, perhaps?
Why does Monk go to the judge's office with Disher? Monk says in the previous scene that they can't make a case. And he doesn't try to convince the judge they have a case. So. . .why is he there?
Monk: If Biederbeck is too big to get out of the room, how did he get in there in the first place? He's like a ship in a bottle.
Monk: These two chairs are from the judge's house, one of them, the killer stood on to turn off the smoke alarm. But there's a problem with that chair, it isn't broken. A witness saw and I quote, a very very fat man stand on the chair. Sergeant Cargill, how much do you weigh?
Sgt. Cargill: Two sixty-five.
Monk: Will you stand on the chair please? (Sgt. Cargill puts one foot on the chair and breaks it) So how could a very very fat man stand on the chair and not break it? If he were fat, but not heavy.
Stottlemeyer: You killed a child five years ago.
Vezza: Accident.
Stottlemeyer: While performing surgery, you were so doped up you couldn't see what you were doing.
Vezza: Accident.
Stottlemeyer: You were charged with manslaughter, facing 15 years minimum, you jumped bail before you could be convicted.
Dale: If you screw with me, I'll eat your heart on a stick.
Disher: What about liposuction?
Stottlemeyer: What?
Disher: Liposuction. Yeah. He--he lipoed himself down to--I don't know--like four hundred pounds. Down the elevator. Crossed town. Killed the judge.
Stottlemeyer: (playing along) Well, how did he gain all the weight back?
Disher: (Pause) Reverse liposuction?
Stottlemeyer: Let's keep our reverse-liposuction theory to ourselves. Okay, Randy?
Vezza: Biederbeck, you're an abomination. An odious, gluttonous, putrid freak of nature.
Dale: Wow, it's been a long time since anyone called me that.
Benjy: (about Monk) Can I take him to school? Like, for show-and-tell?
Sharona: (to Monk) We really have to work on our not-embarrassing-Sharona skills.
Dale: There's not a prison in the country that can hold me.
Monk: There are very few shopping malls that can hold you. But nonetheless, we're going to give it a try.
Sharona: (trying to get Stottlemeyer to initial a contract) I'm trying to take care of business first.
Lt. Disher: Bet that's not the first time you've said that.
Sharona: Bite me.
Sharona: Do you know who asked me out? I'll give you a hint. He's a doctor.
Monk: Kevorkian?
Sharona: Very funny.
Dispatcher: Does he have a weapon?
Judge Lavinio: He doesn't need a weapon. He's Dale Biederbeck!
Sharona: This is what normal people do on a Sunday morning. They hang out, they relax, they eat brunch. They don't sit at home and get back in their room forty times.
Benjy: Mom, we're not exactly normal.
Sharona: (looks at Monk) We are compared to some people.
Sharona: Don't you ever wonder why you don't get invited anywhere?
Monk: No, not really. . . .
Sharona: Adrian, can I ask you something? And if it's none of my business, I'll shut up.
Monk: I doubt it.
Sharona: If you were wondering, he's really that fat. He's Orca! He's horrific!
Dale: The Internet, Monk. It's the fat man's best friend.
Monk: Go to hell.
Dale: No doubt I will. I just hope it's handicap-accessible.

Press release
Zombie Epic Crosses into Blockbuster Hollywood Franchises
IDW Multi-Title Event Starts in January 2011 with Acclaimed Creators
San Diego, CA (October 8, 2010) – A first in comic book history, IDW Publishing is proud to announce INFESTATION! Starting in January 2011, INFESTATION will infect STAR TREK, GHOSTBUSTERS, TRANFORMERS and G.I. JOE comics with zombies, zombies, and more zombies. To help create this multi-dimensional saga, IDW is teaming up with fan-favorite writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (The Thanos Imperative, Legion of Super-Heroes) and artist David Messina (TRUE BLOOD).
"This is definitely one of those 'there's no way they'll ever do this' kind of events," said IDW's Chief Creative Officer Chris Ryall. "But not only are we doing something fans never thought they'd see, we're doing it in a way that should confound and exceed their expectations. And doing it with real pros like Abnett and Lanning just makes it that much sweeter, especially knowing what they've got planned as a follow-up to this event."
Setting the stage for this massive event, Abnett and Lanning will pen INFESTATION #1, launching in January 2011. This initial 32-page story begins in IDW's own ZOMBIES VS. ROBOTS universe, where something goes terribly wrong and ultimately infests the worlds of TRANSFORMERS, STAR TREK, G.I. JOE, and GHOSTBUSTERS with zombies and infected robots. From there, the story spins ferociously into each of the four properties throughout February and March, and culminates in April's bombastic finale, INFESTATION #2.
In February, TRANSFORMERS: INFESTATION #1-2 and STAR TREK: INFESTATION #1-2 will ship bi-weekly. The TRANSFORMERS title will also be written by Abnett and Lanning, with fan-favorite Nick Roche handling the art. STAR TREK will be written by mainstay writers Scott and David Tipton and illustrated by Casey Maloney (Zipper).
March will see the release of the bi-weekly G.I. JOE: INFESTATION #1-2 by writer Mike Raicht and artist Giovanni Timpano, as well as GHOSTBUSTERS: INFESTATION by Erik Burnham (THE A-TEAM: WAR STORIES) and Kyle Hotz (Marvel Zombies).
Artist John K. Snyder III (PHOENIX WITHOUT ASHES) will provide covers for the two INFESTATION issues, as well as 1950s sci-fi film-inspired images for each of the four involved series.
To further commemorate this "decade in the making" event, IDW will be releasing special incentive patches with every issue. Each embroidered, sew-on patch will feature "infected" logos of the four titles. Additional incentives include a painted cover by ZOMBIES VS. ROBOTS co-creator Ashley Wood for INFESTATION #1, as well as a special 16-page sketchbook featuring zombified versions of the perennially popular characters from these four universes, as illustrated by artists associated with each property.
The entire event will make its presence felt on the cover of the January Previews catalog, showcasing a special INFESTATION "quadrtych" image of Snake Eyes, Mr. Spock, OPTIMUS PRIME, and Dr. Peter Venkman under attack from a zombie by LOCKE & KEY artist Gabriel Rodriguez.
"We've found a way to involve all of these diverse titles in a massive storyline that has ties all the way back to the early days of IDW," continued Ryall. "I think fans will be amazed by what we've pulled together here, as well as the stories that will come out of this once-in-my-lifetime event."
Infestation Schedule:
INFESTATION #1 ($3.99, 40 pages, full color) will be available in stores on January 19, 2011.
TRANSFORMERS: INFESTATION #1 and #2 will be in stores on February 2 and 16, 2011, respectively.
STAR TREK: INFESTATION #1 and #2 will be in stores on February 9 and 23, 2011, respectively.
G.I. JOE: INFESTATION #1 and 2 will be in stores on March 2 and 16, 2011, respectively.
GHOSTBUSTERS: INFESTATION #1 and 2 will be in stores on March 9 and 23, 2011, respectively.
INFESTATION #2 will be available in stores on April 6, 2011.
No thanks!
Buying this will only encourage them to move on to vampires next!
Lame. Keep the Trek Universe on its own – it does not need lame crossovers to other IPs. They tried this with the X-Men and it didn't work.
If I were still able to afford to buy comics I'd probably cave and buy all of 'em. I'm a glutton for punishment like that.
I would like to see a Ghostbusters vs. Zombies event. It would fit there. If I recall correctly, they even fought Cthulhu (and one Google search later):
Lighten up guys this looks like fun and it won't mess with the canon. I'm interested in how they get the different universes together. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't GI Joe and Transformers supposedly already in the same "universe"? I know Zombies have been a little overdone recently but a good Zombie story is still a good story.
Zombies in Trek. Hmm. Simple. Target Photon Torpedoes on to the Planet and Bobbared it. Zombies gone for good. End od Comic.
The second cover is pretty lousy. Kirk and Spock weren't drawn very well and why is Kirk holding a TMP/TWOK phaser? And the emblem on Kirk's shirt is a combination of the command logo and the TNG version.
I'm pretty certain that these movie companies and whatnot are watching my youtube account and my friend's youtube account, because over a year ago, he came up with this concept for a Star Trek zombie like film and he called it Star Trek Infestation. This is not the first coincidence of this nature………
Ooh! Vampires AND lens flares! Can't wait.
Still seems like a bad idea. Up next, sparklely vampires….
Maybe because it's a slightly different universe? Have you seen/read Marvel Zombies?
How can people nitpick without seeing the whole picture/product/package?
Oh right…because we're Star Trek fans.
The creature on the first cover looks like the M-113 Salt Vampire
@7. Darkwing – November 24, 2010 – I think that happens too.
Back between seasons 2 & 3 of "Chuck" I posted a thread on IMDb musing about what might happen to Chuck if the Intersect crashed – what eventually happened to him when that did actually occur in season 3 was suspiciously similar to what I & the respondents to that thread had posted…
Hmm… ¬_¬
The Trekking Dead? I think I'll pass. Still, with Zombimania in full swing (lurch?) it's not surprising. Worse things have been done to Trek. I guess.
I hate crossovers. Trek should not be treated in such a juvenile manner. EPIC FAILURE for this.
Oooh, can I play too?
Yeah, I know I could of thought something up, but really…who cares?
#6 I believe that is the Starfleet logo from The Motion Picture, since he looks like he is wearing a uniform and away team jacket from TMP. It kinda makes sense that he has a TMP phaser.
#1– they more tried that in Nemesis with the Remans/Shinzon's need for Picard's blood. Hell, making the Remans genetically engineered vampires might've actually made Nemesis a decent film… Maybe…
@6 it could be TMP emblem for Federation uniforms…
and I have to agree. That second cover is pretty awful. The arm is just in too awkward a position, as if he is clenching it too close to his chest or has T-Rex arms (toss in "Meet the Robinsons" quote … "I have a big head and little arms"). The artists needs a little anatomy refresher course.
Wait, didn't they already do zombie Vulcans on Enterprise??
That said, I love the zombie issues of these comics. I can't wait to see what they do in Trekverse. :)
Jesus, how simple is this for people out there to understand.
Putting Zombies in Star Trek is like putting Ewoks in Star Trek.
"The horror…….The horror….."
Oh noes! Star Trek is being treated as something less than 150% SERIOUS F*****G BUSINESS ™!! Gaze upon IDW's works, ye Trekkies, and despair!
Seriously guys. Take a step or two back and ask yourselves: Is this really worse than space hippies, airheads in go-go boots stealing Spock's brain, or Scott Bakula prattling on about watching a gazelle give birth?
This might actually be (gasp!) fun. Silly, but fun.
Usually IDW does a great job getting the characters' faces accurate. But Kirk's face on this cover in particular just doesn't look at all like William Shatner. Though his movie-era looking hair was well drawn. :-)
And those are definitely TOS uniforms Kirk and Spock are wearing.
Not a huge deal really. But it just isn't at the same level of quality we've gotten used to from IDW in regards to TOS comics. The cover is lousy, but its what's inside that counts most.
He's dead Jim?
The second cover looks like the TMP costumes, but colored wrong. The inks are better than most IDW art, but the layout's a bit dull. Overall, I prefer this to the other cover–at least the actors are on the cover!
Guys: "The second chapter of a bi-weekly Infestation tie-in! Admiral Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy fight for their lives against mobs of zombie colonists!"
Admiral Kirk. TMP uniform. Explains the phaser too I guess. haha
I've said it before, and I'll say it again – I think it's a great idea – It's not canon… It's just for fun. Trek and zombies are two of my favourite things anyway so I'm very interested in reading these when they are released.
@23: He's undead, Jim.
Does anyone remember the TNG / X-Men crossover novel "Planet X" and how uncomfortable it made us feel? Curiosity is natural, but I suspect we'll regret this foursome in the morning.
Yeah, but we also got Spock nerve-pinching Wolverine!! :D
@28: Yeah, I read that novel. I put it down to Michael Jan Friedman's drab writing — he's like the literary equivalent of unflavoured baby food.
This looks fun and doesn't look like it's supposed to be canon anyway.

FAU hopes to double NFL draft picks; Early offer made
Day one of the draft. Owl Country can stand down.
Saturday should be the day, unless some team takes a big chance on Rob Housler on Friday, when rounds 2 and 3 will be conducted, which is highly doubtful.
Glad to see The Voice is taking the safe route this time around.
This was his tweet: "As the draft begins, we wish the hopefuls the best."
You see, Howard Schnellenberger's previous draft predictions have been more a curse than accurate.
I remember he told us scribes that LB Shomari Earls would be a top 5 pick. Earls didn't even get signed as free agent.
Then there was the audacious boast that Rusty Smith would not just be picked, but would be a first round pick. This was made back before Rusty's senior season.
The Voice was pleased when Smith got picked, in the 6th round, so it wasn't a total bust.
FAU has a chance to move out of the Belt basement as far as draft picks are concerned. Right now the Owls are tied with North Texas as having one draft pick.
The Belt leader? Troy, who has 12, including two first round picks. The will add 13 as Jerrel Jernigan is likely to get taken.
Rivals has this conference-by-conference breakdown on draft picks.
Jernigan and Housler could be the only Belt players drafted.
Here's some meat for those of you who live in fantasy land.
The Owls have made an early offer to a LB from Orlando.
Now, before you start dreaming about him taking FAU to the Sun Belt title, read between the lines. This is the first offer of what are expected to be many, and many from bigger schools.
Signing Day is more than nine months away. So, please, get a grip.
FAU is smart to get their foot in the door, just in case something happens. But need I remind you that even a lot of kids who sign don't show up – Karl James, Willie Huggins, Rocky Angrand, James Oboh, and I could go on and on.

Asian Currencies Drop Most in Four Weeks on Europe; Yuan Weakens
Asian currencies fell the most in four weeks on speculation Europe's debt crisis will sap demand for riskier assets, overshadowing China's decision to widen its currency trading band for the first time in five years.
Malaysia's ringgit fell the most since March 20, snapping a three-day rally, after the cost of insuring Spain's bonds against default surged to a record last week. South Korea's won retreated from a one-week high after the central bank trimmed its 2012 growth forecast and the yuan slid the most in three months after People's Bank of China weakened its daily reference rate.
"A weakening in Europe's economy would hurt export sentiment since Asia exports a lot of goods to Europe," said Sean Yokota, a currency strategist at UBS AG in Singapore. "Risk aversion encourages people to buy dollars and Treasuries as a safe haven, and that hurts Asian currencies."
The ringgit weakened 0.6 percent to 3.0720 per dollar as of 3:55 p.m. in Kuala Lumpur, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. India's rupee fell 0.7 percent to a three-month low of 51.65, the won lost 0.3 percent to 1,138.63 and the Philippine peso lost 0.4 percent to 42.785. The yuan dropped 0.2 percent to 6.3147, touching as low as 6.3250.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index, which tracks the region's 10 most-used currencies excluding the yen, fell 0.24 percent, the most since March 20. The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index of stocks declined 0.8 percent.
Outlook Dims
Yields on Spain's 10-year notes exceeded 6 percent today, approaching the 7 percent level that prompted Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek bailouts. South Korea's central bank lowered its 2012 growth forecast today to 3.5 percent, from a December estimate of 3.7 percent, amid volatile oil prices and concern about Europe's debt crisis.
The People's Bank of China weakened its daily fixing for the yuan by 0.13 percent to 6.2960 per dollar after doubling the limit of the currency's moves to 1 percent from the reference rate. The yuan fell to as much as 0.46 percent versus the fixing, not making use of the new limit. The trading band was last widened in May 2007, to 0.5 percent from 0.3 percent.
"The message of this move is that the renminbi's appreciation story is over," Qu Hongbin, chief economist for China at HSBC Holdings Plc, said on April 14 after the announcement. "Greater two-way volatility will be the name of the game going forward."
Yuan Volatility
Yuan volatility has risen since February as bets for appreciation waned amid an economic slowdown and Chinese officials said the exchange rate may be near its equilibrium. Three-month implied volatility jumped as much as 50 basis points today to 2.9 percent, the highest level since Jan. 6.
Indonesia's rupiah depreciated 0.6 percent to 9,194 per dollar. Global funds cut ownership of local stocks by $44 million last week and trimmed their holding of local-currency debt by 540 billion rupiah ($59 million) in the four days through April 12, according to stock exchange and finance ministry data.
Elsewhere, Taiwan's dollar slipped 0.1 percent to NT$29.564 versus the greenback and Vietnam's dong appreciated 0.4 percent to 20,838. Financial markets in Thailand are closed for a public holiday.

Death by Parking
Death by ParkingBook 6: Parking Goes to the Movies
Chapter 8 - We Dine in a Dump - And I Find a Common Thread
Private Detective Paul Manning is investigating the death of Laura Jefferson, former wife of film director Dickey Jefferson and fiancée of mob-connected Mario Palucci. She was killed hours after hiring Manning to help her with a parking business venture. Her father, William James, then hired Manning to find her killer. Palucci also hired Manning, but his reason for finding the murderer was revenge.
Manning and his girlfriend, Shirley, are in New Orleans, where Jefferson is on location. Manning heard from an operative in Chicago that William Jaymes, with a "y," was in fact trying to pass himself off as Laura's father. And Manning was working for him to discover her murderer. What next?
His client Palucci was found murdered on the movie set at St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. As Paul and Shirley returned to their hotel, he looked over her shoulder, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. There was a voodoo doll halfway down to the door to their suite. It was in a hangman's noose and dressed exactly like Manning.
Voodoo was everywhere in New Orleans, even hanging on the door to our hotel suite. I reached up and pulled the doll off the cord that held it and carefully opened the door. Shirley was behind me, hanging on for dear life.
I flipped on the lights and found the suite empty, just as we had left it. No one had been inside – no one alive, that is.
Oh, please. This voodoo baloney is just that, baloney. After all, the sounds we heard at the cemetery during the "shoot" came from a tape recorder. The living dead don't need electronics to make strange sounds.
I poured each of us a drink, and Shirley began to calm down. I'm sure I would in a few minutes.
"Paul, I know voodoo isn't real, at least I think I do. But just the idea of it can be frightening. And after what Dickey Jefferson's leading lady, Leticia Jones, said tonight, it's scary."
The words of the "Voodoo Princess" were still very clear. "They don't want us to make this movie," the actress had said to Jefferson. "I told you not to mess with voodoo."
I told Shirley that if she were uncomfortable, she could take the first flight back to LA, but I had to stay and see this through.
"Not on your life," she said. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. At least I have a big strong detective to protect me."
Right – but who was going to protect me?
Shirley insisted that the "big strong detective" move a dresser in front of the door before we went to bed. She slept like a log. Me, not so much.
I had set a 9 a.m. meeting, at the Café Du Monde in the French Market, with the ne'er-do-well who got me into this in the first place, Larry Jorday. Shirley said she would sleep in and wasn't frightened any more, at least not during daylight hours.
My old buddy Jorday was sitting sipping a cup of chicory coffee when I arrived. There was powdered sugar on his lip. He had just finished a beignet. He ordered a cup of coffee for me, and I sat down.
Larry was a good-enough guy, but he wasn't sure which side of the law he was on. Usually it was "complicated," and I discovered that he easily slipped back and forth between the two sides.
"Before you say anything, Paul, I have a confession to make. I knew William Jaymes, with a "y," was not Laura's father, but he paid me a lot to keep his secret. Now that Laura and Palucci are dead, I figure all bets are off. I'll be straight with you."
I didn't say a word. I just stared at him. I was hoping the stare would make my point. It seemed to.
"OK, OK. Laura had been in LA for about five years and was involved on and off with Palucci – that much is true. She didn't like his involvement with the mob, so she broke it off, and as part of the "settlement," Palucci gave her some parking garages to run in LA. He figured as long as she was sort of involved with his business, he had a chance of getting back in good with her.
"After she was killed," Jorday said, "Jaymes showed up and told me he wanted to become close to you so he could monitor your activities. I think he was involved in Laura's death and needed to know how close you were getting.
"I didn't think it would hurt, and he did have the big bucks."
"You slimy little weasel, Jorday. You probably got Mario Palucci killed, or certainly did nothing to prevent his death," I said. "If I had known what was going on, I could have tried to protect him. I know you were on the train from LA with him. You probably fingered him to Jaymes and set him up for murder."
"No, Paul, I swear. I did nothing of the sort. Jaymes already knew who Palucci was. It seemed to me as if Jaymes was in business with him. Something about parking cars."
I told Jorday to stay in New Orleans, and went to the nearest phone. I called Detective Lt. Henri Lebec of the NOPD homicide squad and brother of "Voodoo Princess" star Leticia Jones. He agreed to meet me for lunch.
Uglesich's is a dump. They call it 'a New Orleans Tradition,' but it's still a dump, in one of the most run-down parts of the city, south of Canal Street, on Baronne. I walked to the front of the restaurant and saw for myself. It is the standard by which all dumps in New Orleans are measured.
Lt. Lebec was standing in line outside. He was dressed as usual in a $1,000 suit, a white shirt, classic silk tie, and wing tips. He could have been a lawyer. I looked at him with question marks in my eyes.
"'Uglesich's is a tradition," he said in his lilting Jamaican accent. "It has the best Cajun sandwiches in the city. Have the oyster po'boy."
We ordered at the counter (like a pub in the UK), and Lebec paid right then. "It's a madhouse to try to get back to pay after you eat."
They shucked the oysters right after we ordered and deep-fried them on the spot. Talk about fresh, and really good.
We sat on a bench outside after lunch. I brought Lebec up to speed on the voodoo doll and what Jorday had told me.
"Of course, the 'educated' don't believe in voodoo," Lebec said. "But, then, it can be frightening. Most of the deaths caused by voodoo are by literally frightening members of the native Cajun population to death.
"I did some research on your Mr. William Jaymes of Chicago. It seems he is a mover-and-shaker in the 'Windy City. He is 'connected.'"
Lebec pushed his nose aside with his finger, the international sign for the mob.
"Like most large cities, we have mob-related activity here in New Orleans. They are mostly Creole and do use voodoo to keep many of their 'soldiers' in line. I suggest that what we saw at the movie set and the doll at your hotel was their fine handiwork."
Ah, yes. A few years back, I had had some brief interaction with fellows from New Jersey who had names ending in vowels. There were money-laundering and murder, and a lot of rich folks. Now I have two murders, strange happenings in New Orleans, and a high-roller from Chicago.
There was Dickey Jefferson and his movie, but I didn't think that was a motivator in this case. There was one thread that tied virtually everyone, and the mob, together – parking.

How has the best-selling author of Naturally Thin and Skinnygirl Dish bounced back so soon? "There's been no real drastic anyÂthing," Bethenny, who weighs a healthy 118 lbs, tells Life & Style. "I've really been eating, just not like a crazy person." The 5-foot-6 natuÂral-food chef has a new mantra, "Taste everything, eat nothing."
Hmm… what do you guys think about Bethenny's motto?

Tactics Of A Workplace Serial Bully Boss
"Then there is another type of bully boss which most people would not even perceive as a bully. The "closet" bully boss is actually much more prevalent and more dangerous than the ranter or raver described above. This type of bully boss is very cleaver in their ability to hide their bullying behaviors and to manipulate the perception of bystanders against the "target"."

What is an Abdominal and/or Small Parts Ultrasound Study?
An abdominal ultrasound is an ultrasound exam of the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and bladder. A small parts ultrasound is an ultrasound exam of the thyroid, breast or testicle. High frequency sound waves are used to obtain imaging and can help diagnose a variety of conditions including gallstones, kidney disease, cysts verses solid masses, and to evaluate blood flow to body organs.
Why Did the Doctor Order This Exam for Me?
Pain, nausea, or vomiting, abnormal lab values, or enlargement of certain body parts are some of the common reasons to undergo an ultrasound.
What do I Need to do to Prepare for the Exam?
If you are having an abdominal ultrasound, you will be asked to not eat or drink after midnight on the night before the exam. If you are having a small parts ultrasound, no special preparation is needed for this exam.
What Should I Expect when I Arrive?
There are currently two areas where ultrasounds are performed. When your exam is scheduled, the doctor's office will specify if you need to check in at Forest Park Imaging or at Mercy Medical Center - North Iowa's East Campus Radiology/Imaging Services desk.
At that time, your personal and insurance information will be updated. You will need to provide your doctor's written order. Once you are registered, you will be asked to sit in the waiting area. A technologist will call your name and take you to the ultrasound room.
Who will be in the Exam Room with Me?
A registered sonographer will perform the exam in Radiology's lab, which is accredited by the American College of Radiography. There also may be a student from the Radiology School assisting the sonographer.
What will I Experience During the Exam?
The sonographer will ask you some questions regarding your medical history and the problems that you are experiencing. The sonographer will explain the examto you and make sure all your questions are answered. You will be asked to lie down on your back on a cart. Warm lotion and a transducer (a hand-held device that transmits sound waves) will be rubbed along your abdomen, thyroid, breast or testicles. The entire exam could take between 30 to 40 minutes.
What do I need to do After the Exam?
Following the abdominal and/or small parts ultrasound, you will be able to resume normal activities.
When will I get the Results of the Exam?
You will receive your results from your ordering physician. You may receive a letter, a phone call, or have a follow up appointment with your physician. If you are unsure of how you will receive your results, please contact your physician's office.
We are very concerned about any anxiety you may have about your exam. We are happy to answer any questions you may have. If you have questions call 641-428-5122 or 1-800-433-3883, ext. 5122

It's no news that floral shirts have been having a banner year. But here's a whole new way of looking at the popular pattern. Designer Michael Bastian switched up some swatches in his summer collection for Gant, resulting in this quirky statement piece. It's a fresh take on the "Fun shirts" made by brands like Brooks Brothers, which have become something of a modern-day classic. Sure, it might not get regular wear, but bold guys can certainly pull it off for a truly unconventional off-duty look. Plus, it's on sale.

The problems associated with poor indoor air quality are well documented, but you may be surprised to learn how simplistic and cost-effective the solution can be through understanding the role that electrostatic air filtration can play
The importance of proper indoor air filtration:
Indoor air filtration is your first line of defense in achieving good health, but is often overlooked. This is reflected in the minimal provision for air filtration in the design of our heating and air conditioning equipment and a legacy of indoor air quality issues. The most efficient way to filter your indoor air is through your forced air heating and air conditioning filtration system. Your furnace filters are built into the return air ductwork, trapping airborne dust particulate as air passes through the filter material. Forced air (HVAC) systems are passive; as long as the fan is running, they are constantly filtering all the air in your home.
Electrostatic air filters versus replacement fiberglass furnace filters:
The most common type of replacement furnace filter is the inexpensive paper or fiberglass filter that slides into your heating and air conditioning ductwork. A fiberglass air filter will only trap enough of the larger particulate out of the air to keep your heating and air conditioning equipment from clogging up, but do very little to increase the quality of your indoor air. Electrostatic furnace filters are at the top of the list (just under the expensive HEPA indoor air purification systems) in effectiveness when it comes to removing allergens and other harmful pollutants from all of your indoor air.
Not only does the Lifetime electrostatic furnace filters help with the air quality in our buildings, they can also effectively cut dusting by as much as 50% and cut your energy bill by almost 15%, carpets, draperies, walls, windows and upholstery will stay cleaner longer.
What makes the electrostatic air filters so much more efficient?
As the air passes through the Lifetime electrostatic air filter it produces friction that creates a natural electrostatic charge between the honeycomb pattern of polypropylene and the layers of bonded polyester fibers in our replacement furnace filters. The electrostatic charge attracts minuet household dust particles to our Lifetime electrostatic furnace filters like a magnet. These dust particles consist of irritants and allergens such as bacteria, dust mites, pollen, fabric lint, plant & mold spores, human & pet dander, tobacco smoke, etcetera.
Our electrostatic furnace filters are backed by a "Lifetime" warranty
The Lifetime electrostatic air filters are constructed to the highest quality and consist of a sturdy aluminum frame, exterior aluminum mesh sandwiching two layers of woven mono-filament over another two layers of bonded polyester. As dust laden with bacteria, mites, pollen, lint, spores, dander, tobacco smoke and other airborne particles passes through the first two layers, an electrostatic charge occurs, which forces the airborne particulate to collect on the other side. The Lifetime electrostatic replacement furnace filters are also extremely easy to clean by simply back flushing with water.

Jul 12, 2013: Spencer, IA: During this week's Senate hearing on the long-term implications of Shuanghui International's acquisition of Smithfield Foods, Ag Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow wanted to know how the proposed deal would affect the U.S. food supply, its security and safety. Stabenow said this deal might be the first acquisition of a major food and ag company, but she added, "…I doubt it will be the last."
Daniel Slane, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, warned that China's "end game" is to dominate the U.S. domestic pork market. He says China will take Smithfield's state-of-the-art technology and convert their production from backyard farms to industrial scale production. Slane charged that, once the Chinese "digest all of this and get their industry up, they'll try to export it to us."
Smithfield CEO Larry Pope testified that the business side of things wouldn't change. He said all management, contracts and processing plants will remain the same.
Stabenow asked Pope what's to keep China from exporting pork to the U.S. or to other major export markets like Japan. Pope replied that the Chinese are not interested in exporting pork to the U.S. since their domestic protein needs are so high.
Chinese pork consumption per capita has grown by 25% in the past 15 years, while U.S. consumption shrunk by 10%. China is responsible for 50% of the world's pork consumption.
Pope repeatedly stressed that China is concerned about ensuring future food supplies, not taking over global pork trade. But Stabenow replied, "….Mr. Pope, they could feed their people by opening their markets to U.S. pork products."

Remembering Doug Fieger, the power-pop maestro who had the Knack
Of all the rock critics working, I think my former Chicago Tribune colleague Greg Kot best defined the struggle of the music critic: to walk that fine line between being a judge and a fan. Music is an art, so you can't get too clinical about it; a critic has to find herself emotionally invested at some level, or why write? Yet a critic can't be too much the fan, or else risk going too far in the direction of cheerleader.
I try to walk that balance. But in a few cases, the musical heroes of my childhood cause me to break that rule. When I do, it's because they so changed the course of my life that I admit, straight out, that my vision remains skewed. And with the Knack's Doug Fieger (second from left on the album cover), I stand accused of bias. Willfully, joyfully and unabashedly accused.
This past summer, thanks to Sharona Alperin (yes, of "My Sharona" fame), Fieger and I were introduced and he sat for me for an extensive interview, even though the brain cancer that claimed him on Feb. 14 was giving him one hell of a tough day. Still, he seemed ever optimistic, and Strat-through-a-Vox sharp, quoting Shakespeare at one point, and mounting a well-reasoned argument against the music critics of old who misunderstood the Knack. It may be the last extensive interview he gave. I don't know.
In 1979, when "Get the Knack" stormed to the top of the music charts, the Knack were accused of being Beatles rip-off artists, of making prefabricated pop. What the critics didn't know, and what Fieger strove to make clear to me, was how the band worked ceaselessly, playing close to 200 shows of the material that would become "Get the Knack" before a note was ever committed to tape.
Singing and playing the whole album in the studio—yes, live—The Knack recorded their debut in a few short weeks. "My Sharona" was mixed in 15 minutes. Yes, 15 minutes. Certain producers today spend 15 hours trying to get the perfect kick drum sound. Compare today's Pro Tooled, airbrushed pop to the Knack's first effort, made by four musicians rehearsed to the point of airtight precision. I'd argue in that respect, the recording technique behind "Get the Knack" had more in common with any early Ramones album than, say, something prefab.
Yes, the Knack sang about adolescent crushes and sticky-sweet stuff. But as Fieger also explained to me, the songs came from an almost singular source: his deep infatuation with Alperin. Sharona, a teenager at the time, became his muse, and thus inspired almost every song on the record. Fieger was in his 20s at the time, and fell in love hard and fast. He described their love-lust as burning like a bright flame, one he sensed could not last. Lucky for us it still left a luminous vapor trail in the rock and roll firmament.
When the follow-up album "But the Little Girls Understand" was released, you could well have titled it "But the Critics Don't Understand." Rock's intelligentsia pounced again, saying the Knack had now copied themselves. But how could that be? It was recorded at the same time as "Get the Knack," with the band intending to release a double-album debut, which would've been a first for a pop-rock band. Capitol vetoed the idea, and Fieger's clever stab at history bit the dust.
After doing the interview, I emailed with Doug, prayed for him and tried as best as I could to cheer him up. I let him know in no uncertain terms what a difference he made during my adolescent years, when songs from his first two albums routinely peppered the set list of my high school band. When we talked he seemed tired, but unbowed; he'd made it much longer with the cancer than others in his condition. He even confided to me about coming back and touring again in 2010. And like a dork, I asked him how much he'd charge me to record in his home studio.
Now he's gone, fled to the music of the spheres. I feel the loss, but also the joy of knowing that "Get the Knack" is there for me to cue up anytime I need to hear it. If you don't have the disc, go buy it. It's a power-pop masterpiece, every song a winner. And because it was recorded live—with Fieger singing all his lead vocals in the studio as he slammed down his rhythm guitar tracks—it sounds as fresh in 2010 as it did in 1979.
In my next blog, I will run interview material with Fieger, some of which I promised to keep confidential until the appropriate time. As for being a Knack fan, I make no apologies. It's one of the perks of being a musician-blogger-freestyle writer in the 21st Century. You can wear your heart on your sleeve from time to time, and not worry about some editor's errant red pen crushing a hole through it.

I am 29 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and the doctor informed that my baby is breeched.
The doctor informed me that I still have time for my baby to turn. she also told me that I can encourage the baby to turn by going for walks and doing breathing exercises , i.e, taking deep breath ( inhaling through nose), waiting for three seconds and exhaling,this gives more room for the baby to turn. Is there any thing else I can do to also encourage the turning of baby. I want to avoid c section as my first born was a natural delivery and I want my 2nd to be also natural.

You still have plenty of time for that baby to turn. Don't even sweat over it!posted 01/16/2012 by wannabe_mommy_24
Don't worry about it much yet! My baby was breech at 29 weeks, and turned by himself at 31 weeks:) I didn't do anything to try to get him to turn, he just did totally on his own:) So most likely your baby will turn naturally too, but if he/she hasn't turned by 34, your doctor/midwife can try to turn the baby from the outside.posted 01/16/2012 by babyboon1
It's still early days and most likely the baby will turn. If hasn't turned in the next month, here's an article outlining the things you can do to encourage it. If need be, the doctors can turn your baby via an external cephalon version. Or you could deliver the baby vaginally in the breech position if the baby doesnt way too much and the neck and legs are in a good position. Good luck. http://pregnancy.about.com/od/breechbabies/a/breechbaby.htmposted 01/16/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

B110 Brilliant Debut!
Although sales of the 2nd generation Sunny (B110) started in January of 1970, the racing debut was in the 1970?11?23 Fuji Speedway 200 miles race. "TS" class race is the 1300cc class.
It didn't seem much of a threat to the Mazda Capella rotaries and the mighty Toyota KE Corollas, but when preliminary round ends, a drastic reversal of fortune was hinted at. Suzuki Makoto marked the time of 1:42:28 and took pole position. The crowd at large still expected the factory Toyotas would have the advantage, as they had dominated the Sunny B10s (Datsun 1000s).
On race day, in the first corner is was Corollas, 1 2 and 3. However, on the last corner, the Sunny slipped in and it was all over. Victory for Sunny!

Cherry X Debuts (E10 FWD family - pulsar was the N10 member of Cherry series)
For some reason the Cherry X A12 engine was tuned to a higher level than in the Sunny 1200. Rather than the Weber carbs in the engine, Lucas fuel injection (from the GTR PGC10) was fitted. This was reported to delivered more torque than the carbed engine.
- TSA Class (1300cc) A12s were at 1270cc.
In the rain, the Cherry X went to head of the pack, with Suzuki's Sunny in 3rd nearly 30 seconds behind. The race ended:

Make That a Double Shot
I turned my disastrous experience of opening a cafe into a novel.
Also in Slate, Nathan Heller rates the coffees made by the three big chains: Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and McDonald's.
After this piece ran, I received no fewer than 500 e-mails. Most readers had their own entrepreneurial disasters to share—some safely in the past, some still unfolding. One letter was from a photographer whose dreams of a professional studio gradually mutated into a "Santa photo concession" at a shopping mall; another, from a couple stuck running the only English-language bookstore in Vietnam. Yet another, about the perils of running a shop with one's spouse, ended with something like "I dream of divorce every day. … Oh Christ, here comes my husband, gotta—." At least one letter has become retroactively upbeat. It had come from an antsy student running a startup out of his dorm room. Before writing this, I went back to check on the name of that startup and let out a little gasp.
Ground Upis a novel, not a memoir, and it's inspired less by my own real-life bumbling than by what you might call the spiritual sum of these letters. Everyone in it is staggering after a dream, both the precious Cafe Kolschitzky and its corporate nemesis Jumpy Joe's Java. Even Mark and Nina, the bourgeois couple obsessed with amassing bohemian cred, have some stunningly wrongheaded ideas—but, like every other victim of the cafe dream, mean well. (They simply can't fathom why the world won't reward their selflessness with love and money.) Today, when small businesses on the Lower East Side and elsewhere are taking as much of a beating as the big ones, I hope both the article and the book read as a little salute to those still ready to take the plunge. Plus, now you can get a much better deal on rent. Buyer's market and all. In fact … let me run the figures here. … Oh my God, Lily, we can totally do this!
You know that charming little cafe on New York's Lower East Side that just closed after a mere six months in business—where coffee was served on silver trays with a glass of water and a little chocolate cookie? The one that, as you calmly and correctly observed, was doomed from its inception because it was too precious and too offbeat? The one you still kind of fell for, the way one falls for a tubercular maiden? Yeah, that one was mine.
The scary part is that you think you can do better.
I never realized how ubiquitous the dream of opening a small coffeehouse was until I fell under its spell myself. Friends' eyes misted over when my wife and I would excitedly recite our concept ("Vienna roast from Vienna! It's lighter and sweeter than bitter Italian espresso—no need to drown it in milk!"). It seemed that just about every boho-professional couple had indulged in this fantasy at some point or another.
The dream of running a small cafe has nothing to do with the excitement of entrepreneurship or the joys of being one's own boss—none of us would ever consider opening a Laundromat or a stationery store, and even the most delusional can see that an independent bookshop is a bad idea these days. The small cafe connects to the fantasy of throwing a perpetual dinner party, and it cuts deeper—all the way to Barbie tea sets—than any other capitalist urge. To a couple in the throes of the cafe dream, money is almost an afterthought. Which is good, because they're going to lose a lot of it.
The failure of a small cafe is not a question of competence. It is a sad given. The logistics of a food establishment that seats between 20 and 25 people (which roughly corresponds to the definition of "cozy") are such that the place will stay afloat—barely—as long as its owners spend all of their time on the job. There is a golden rule, long cherished by restaurateurs, for determining whether a business is viable. Rent should take up no more than 25 percent of your revenue, another 25 percent should go toward payroll, and 35 percent should go toward the product. The remaining 15 percent is what you take home. There's an even more elegant version of that rule: Make your rent in four days to be profitable, a week to break even. If you haven't hit the latter mark in a month, close.

There's a lot of buzz around Windows 8 for technology lovers, and for good reason. Microsoft is making it's next operating system dramatically different than previous incantations, and it sounds like we'll be seeing a lot of this OS in the future on a lot of different platforms, ranging from desktops and notebooks to tablets, and possibly even more.
For those that haven't seen any coverage at all of Windows 8, the new operating system boasts a completely redesigned interface similar to Microsoft's latest phone OS. The interface is dubbed 'Metro' and is essentially a big collection of tiles, each one referencing a different app or widget. Much like on a smart phone, you can display stocks, local weather, and new emails within these widgets, and clicking on them goes into the full application.
While this doesn't seem extremely natural for a desktop or laptop environment, it compliments tablets and other touch-screen devices with very easy navigation between apps and information. Fortunately, you have the ability to swap between the Metro desktop and the much more familiar traditional desktop.
Windows 7 is a pretty solid operating system with a lot of improvements including how well it runs. We've seen Windows 7 run on some pretty low-end hardware, but it wasn't designed for mobile devices like tablets. Microsoft says that Windows 8 will have better performance compared to Windows 7 especially on tablet and netbook hardware. Most impressively, the boot up time for Windows 8 is typically less than a third of what Windows 7 needs on comparable hardware. Some tests show boot up times at an impressive 10 seconds or less.
While it's taken users a few years to accept the change, the Ribbon-style navigation of Office 2007 and 2010 is not going away. The revamped Windows Explorer now lets you navigate and manage your files and folders with the ribbon interface, giving you faster access and more customization so you can access the buttons you need.
Following the latest trend made popular by smartphones and now web browsers, Windows 8 will boast it's own app store. The Windows Store will have a collection of free and paid apps that you can shop around for, and you can even try paid apps before purchasing them. Apps are rated by users and include everything from widgets for the Metro-style desktop to news aggregators to games.
Your apps and some of your data, such as your address book, photos, and other data, can be synchronized to Microsoft's cloud, letting you access it easily just by logging into another Windows 8 device with your Windows Live ID. All of your settings and preferences will synchronize over as well.
We're sure to see additional features and more information over the next few months leading to the launch of Windows 8. The real question will be will it be worth upgrading, and will it hold a candle in the tablet world next to IOS and Android. Only time will tell!
