You have reached your mid to late forties or fifties and you take a hard look at yourself. You're not happy. Things have not turned out as you expected and life has been hard. You don't feel as if you have accomplished anything and crushing sense of your own immortality envelopes you. So much to do and so little time. So much that hasn't been done and will never happen.
Things should be getting better but they aren't. Your reactions to life's difficulties should be easier now – but most of the time, you just can't deal with the issues. Curve balls come out at all angles and dodging them is getting more and more wearing.
Your hair is getting grayer, your vision is failing and your waistline no longer exists. Blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems may be issues. You've never weighed so much in your life. It's almost like another adolescence – only this one your mother didn't prepare you for and no one taught a mandatory class on it with the boys in one room and the girls in the other. This transition time is preparing you for the last part of your life, not the beginning and that is probably what makes it so hard. There is an exercise many self-help experts suggest you do when you want to measure to what extent you have attained your life's purpose. You pretend you are on your deathbed looking back on your life and examine your past and ask yourself if you are dying with "your music still in you." Most would probably say yes and it would be an opportunity at that point to decide what you still want – and need – to do with what is left of your life – right up to that actual time you are lying on that bed taking your last breath with your life flashing before you.
I myself have done this exercise. I myself have reprimanded myself severely for not focusing on what is truly important to me – what I have to do before my life on this earth is done. I am a failure – a "wannabe" and a "should've been." So many times I have beaten myself up over my procrastination, stagnation and lack of direction.
But just last spring, I seemed to be surrounded by friends, relatives, and employees that were graduating or had children graduating from both high school and college. Never have I seen so many fresh and eager faces ready to start new lives. It made me think back to when I was just getting out of high school, my uncertain future looming before me. .
I mentally put myself back in that time – in that place where I was a tall, skinny girl looking ahead – and not having a clue as what I would be doing with myself. A future that was very uncertain at that time due to the death of my father and the loss of his farm. As I put myself back into that young girl's shoes, I imagined a stranger, a fortune teller, approaching her and telling her, that gawky, naïve farm girl, what direction her life was going to take.
I imagined the two of them sitting under an old tattered satin tent around an ancient rickety table with a crystal ball between them, knees almost touching and both staring deep into the unknown.
"You are going to graduate from college," the old woman would begin and already I would have begun to doubt her because no one in my family had ever gone to college and I certainly didn't want to go. A waste of time and four years, I had always said. Then my disbelief would grow as she would describe this wonderful job I was going to have in another part of the country, the three beautiful children I would bare, the different relationships and loves I would be involved in, and the cozy four-bedroom home I would buy and furnish on my own.
She would tell me how beautiful and confident this awkward child would grow up to be where even at the age of almost fifty, I would be tall, healthy and strong with only a touch of gray in my beautiful curly hair. Fifty to me at that time so long ago would seem almost dead.

Between the nanoscopic (the realm of atoms and simple molecules at most several nm in size) and the macroscopic (our everyday world, consisting of everything larger than 1µm) lies the mesoscopic*: a scale dominated by interactions among large molecules and within cells and cell systems.
Cells are in essence living factories of enzymes and molecules. Understanding these processes and ultimately learning to control or even mimic them promises to lead to breakthroughs in next generation (e.g. regenerative) medicine, targeted drug treatments, and green chemical technologies. Harnessing the power of cells -- mastering meso space -- is the key to solving many of the technological quandaries facing humanity today.
Meso-Control of Living Cells: Applications to Stem Cells
Leading the world in the exploration of meso space is Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS), founded in 2007. As one of only five research centers selected by Japan's education and science ministry under its World Premier International Research Center (WPI) Initiative, the institute aims to advance the integration of cell and material sciences -- both traditionally strong fields for the university -- by creating a uniquely innovative global research environment.
The iCeMS seeks to integrate the biosciences, chemistry, material science, and physics to capture the potential power of meso-control of functional architectures and stem cells. Cells in living organisms have acquired these tools to control the mesoscale realm through the course of evolution, thereby realizing clean chemical reactions in ambient environments to perform functions such as energy conversion, cell growth, and differentiation.
Research falls into the following four broad categories: 1) Chromatin architecture/function and meso-control; gene expression control with bio-functional chemicals/materials, 2) Cell membrane architecture/function and meso-control; ion channel/transporter/receptor with bio-functional chemicals/materials, 3) Intracellular delivery of bio-functional materials; control by external signals, 4) Cellular environment architecture/function and meso-control; nano/meso/micro-engineered materials with bio-functional molecules.
Embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are at the heart of this research. Ultimately realizing their full potential, by applying artificial meso-control strategies to ES/iPS cells, could result in unprecedented abilities to shape the course of future technology development.
Globally Visible, Truly Open and International
The iCeMS aims to make such breakthroughs possible by bringing together the world's top scientists in a premier research environment. Open office space and common laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art research instruments encourage interaction and an increased exchange of ideas.
A ground-breaking shared use imaging lab, including Profs Akihiro Kusumi and John Heuser, is available even to non-institute researchers. This Center for Meso-Bio Single-Molecule Imaging (CeMI) also serves as a development platform for emerging imaging technologies such as terahertz optics.
All of this exists in an open environment supportive of new ideas and young as well as female scientists. Institute management has been streamlined to allow for quick decision-making and budget approvals. English is the official language. An active global recruitment effort aims to put the institute at the center of career development plans for the world's brightest junior investigators.
In addition, the institute has launched the iCeMS Kyoto Fellow program, targeted toward attracting the best new scientists in the field. These 5-year positions include start-up and operating budgets to cover the fellows' own research groups and other related expenses.
Solid Science, Steeped in Tradition
This vigorous work takes place in one of Japan's premier national universities, against the backdrop of Kyoto, a city steeped in traditions dating back well over a millennium. And in spite of its relatively recent establishment, the iCeMS has already produced a notable catalog of scientific achievements (see here for details on all 18 PIs and their research groups).
Institute Director Prof Norio Nakatsuji's lab carries out cross-disciplinary research on ES/iPS cells focusing on control of pluripotency and differentiation, and also on the germ cell lineage. His group is still the only to have succeeded in establishing human ES cell lines in Japan. Recent publications: Dev Cell 17, 775 (2009); Development 135, 2969 (2008); Nat Biotechnol 26, 739 (2008).
Prof Shinya Yamanaka's lab, renowned for its success in generating iPS cells from adult fibroblasts, aims to 1) understand molecular mechanisms underlying iPS cell induction, 2) develop new methods for iPS cell induction to increase their safety, and 3) screen for novel factors involved in iPS cell induction. Prof Yamanaka is also director of Kyoto University's Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA). Recent publications: Nature 460, 1132 (2009); Science 322, 949 (2008); Cell 131, 861 (2007). Recent honors: Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award (2009), Gairdner International Award (2009).
Prof Akihiro Kusumi's lab has developed the world's fastest single-molecule tracking technique and applied the method to the study of the plasma membrane in living cells, allowing for a number of unprecedented observations and fostering a new basic understanding of molecular diffusion, interaction, and signal transduction in the plasma membrane. Prof Kusumi is also the CeMI director. Recent publications: Biophys J 95, 435 (2008); J Cell Biol 177, 717 (2007).
Prof John Heuser is the pioneering world leader in quick-freeze, deep-etch 3-D electron microscopy. His techniques allow for examinations of meso architectures such as cell membranes at unprecedented high resolution. Recent publications: Nat Cell Biol 11, 219 (2009); Science 320, 382 (2008).
Prof Motonari Uesugi's lab has discovered various small organic molecules, modulating gene expression or cellular signaling, for use as chemical tools to control stem cells (e.g. "fatostatin" that blocks fat synthesis in cells, a finding that received wide international press coverage: Chem Biol 16, 882; 28 Aug 2009). Recent publication: J Am Chem Soc 131, 4774 (2009).
Deputy Director Prof Susumu Kitagawa's lab is creating novel porous coordination polymers for application in a pioneering cross-disciplinary field combining cell membranes and porous materials to examine and control cell functions. Recent publications: Nat Chem 1, 695 (2009); Nat Mater 8, 831, (2009); Nat Mater 6, 142 (2007). Recent honors: Thomson Reuters Moving Fronts for his highly influential paper (2009), Humboldt Research Award (2008).

Suppose $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are two functions. What is intuition or idea behind the convolution of $f$ and $g$? After taking the convolution we will get a new function. What is the geometric relation between $f$, $g$, and $f*g$ ?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I suspect this can be answered by a google search or a wikipedia search on the site. Usually people think $f*g$ as an "average" of $f$ with $g$, such that $f*g$ has at least as nice properties as $f$ and $g$. I am sure other people at here can give a much better answer, but hopefully the meaning of it will be clear if you encounter Fourier series or Fourier transform, since that's where they appear most naturally and frequently.

College Hockey:Cats Continue Cheel Playoff Mastery
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Since it was built in 1991, Clarkson has lost two playoff games at Cheel Arena, both coming at the hands of the Vermont Catamounts. Make it three.
Vermont defeated Clarkson for the third time in four ECAC playoff matches Friday night, 3-2. The win puts Vermont in good position to upset Clarkson in the first round of the playoffs for the second time in three years.
Vermont netminder Shawn Conschafter made 27 saves and continued his mastery over the Golden Knights.
"It feels good to get the win here but we have to keep an even keel," said Conschafter. "Tomorrow is going to be a battle and we need to be ready. Tonight was big and we set ourselves up well for the weekend."
The two teams skated to an even first period with neither team registering a goal. Clarkson managed 10 shots, with Vermont answering with six. Clarkson had quality scoring chances in the period but was the victim of misfortune.
Just 52 seconds into the game, Clarkson's Trevor Edwards had a point-blank chance in front of Conschafter but pulled the puck wide of the net. Two minutes later, Jean Desrochers had a wide open net off of a rebound but was unable to convert, hitting the post.
Vermont weathered the first-period storm and struck with the initial goal in the second, as Phil Youngclaus scored the first of his career at 7:03. Youngclaus took a Jeff Miles pass and slapped a shot from the top of the right circle. The shot weaved through traffic and beat Clarkson goaltender Mike Walsh to the high glove side.
Vermont then shut down the Knights, only allowing six shots for the period.
"Our freshmen played real well tonight," said Vermont coach Mike Gilligan. "Our 'D' played well too, [Conschafter] wasn't forced to make as many tough saves as he did [in the playoff series] two years ago. I felt as this could have been a one-goal game. Friday is important, tonight was a good win."
The game appeared as if one goal would have won it, as Clarkson came out lackluster in the third. Vermont capitalized and scored its second goal of the night, on the power play, at 3:15 of the third. Jeff Corey followed his own shot and beat Walsh top glove-side corner for his seventh goal of the season.
Clarkson continued its sloppy play but managed to make the game interesting in the waning moments. Kevin O'Flaherty scored his 13th of the season, blasting a slapshot past Conschafter with 1:47 left.
A UVM penalty 37 later seconds gave Clarkson life, but this was quickly erased, as Chris Bahen tripped, losing the puck to Vermont's Jaime Sifers. Sifers lofted a shot from his own blueline which landed in the vacated Clarkson goal, restoring the Cats' two goal lead with 58 seconds to play.
Clarkson answered with a goal 28 seconds later, as Randy Jones took an O'Flaherty pass and beat Conschafter to the glove side. But it was too late for the Knights, who could not muster another goal in the last 30 seconds.
"They're a good team," said Conschafter, "and I expected that last-minute barrage. Our 'D' played well tonight and hopefully we can keep it up tomorrow night."

Meet the Family
Take a closer look at our family of products and get to know where each gets its character and flavour, as well as what food goes well with it and how you can turn a bottle of
Stonewell Cider into a delicious meal.
Stonewell Medium Dry
Our pioneering and most popular cider which pays homage to the Celtic ciders of Wales and Brittany, and recently received the Great Taste 3 Gold Stars, and was named in the Top 50 Products out of 10,000 entries. This is Stonewell at its very core, and was the foundation for all of our success.
Stonewell Dry
This cider bites back at its sweeter cousin, with the dry bite of dozens of apples. A fantastic accompaniment to any food, this offers something less sweet to a pallet that favours it. It also recently received the Great Taste 3 Gold Stars, and was named in the Top 50 Products out of 10,000 entries.
Stonewell Tobairín
At just 1.5%, this devilish delight brings all of the great taste of our other cider, with only a fraction of the guilt. This little beauty is still an up-and-comer, but we see great things in its future, and are sure it will be as popular in homes and pubs, as it has proven in hotels and on the 18th at many golf courses.

The 24-driver field for Saturday night's Budweiser Shootout was set with a drawing on Thursday night. By the luck of the draw, Carl Edwards won the pole.
"It's been a long time since I've been on a pole," Edwards joked with drawing M.C., Kenny Wallace.
Kevin Harvick won the second starting position to start alongside Edwards on the front row, despite not being in attendance at the drawing. Suffering from the flu, Harvick – last year's Budweiser Shootout winner – was represented by crew chief Gil Martin.
Harvick, like several other drivers, won't be able to start the event in the position that was drawn for him. Harvick and the No. 29 team will start the Shootout in the back of the field after going to a backup car, since Richard Childress teammate Clint Bowyer wrecked the No. 29 car in practice earlier in the day on Thursday.
Other drivers who will have to start in the Budweiser Shootout in the back, despite their draw, in a backup car include Greg Biffle, who drew the fifth starting position; Mark Martin, who drew the sixth starting spot; Kurt Busch, who drew the 22nd starting position; and Denny Hamlin, who would be in the back anyway, since he drew the 24th and final starting spot.
"That's good, because that's where I'm starting anyway," Hamlin said of his draw and his backup car start.
Harvick wasdn't the only driver who had to have someone else draw for him. Joey Logano was in attendance at the drawing, but Greg Zipadelli had to draw for him, since Logano is only 19 years-old and numbers were concealed in Budweiser bottles.
Starting positions, not considering drivers falling back in backup cars, for the 2010 Budweiser Shootout are as follows:
1. Carl Edwards
2. Kevin Harvick
3. Brian Vickers
4. Ryan Newman
5. Greg Biffle
6. Mark Martin
7. Jeff Burton
8. Matt Kenseth
9. Jamie McMurray
10. John Andretti
11. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
12. Bobby Labonte
13. Tony Stewart
14. Ken Schrader
15. Michael Waltrip
16. Jimmie Johnson
17. Kyle Busch
18. Derrike Cope
19. Kasey Kahne
20. Juan Montoya
21. Joey Logano
22. Kurt Busch
23. Jeff Gordon
24. Denny Hamlin
The Budweiser Shootout is slated for 8 p.m. ET on Saturday. It can be seen live on FOX.

If bad news travels far and fast in shale, the results of a study by Balcombe Parish Council on shale oil in Balcombe, West Sussex prove how when the news doesn't fit the catastrophist narrative, simply ignore it.
Let's go back to the infamous Battle of Balcombe back in January:
After earthquakes in Lancashire and tales of poisoned water and flaming taps in the US, "fracking" for gas or oil in the English home counties was never likely to be easy. And so it proved when oil executives faced the fury of a village hall full of West Sussex residents in a clash over a controversial technology that energy companies believe could open up major reserves of energy from underground rocks.
Miller and his two PR minders, all dressed in black, gritted their teeth as the film spoke of "red nasty water oozing out of the hill", "radium in waste products", "methane in drinking water" and how "our heaven has turned into our hell".
I have the curse of a long memory, so I also recall this laughable contribution to the debate from Michael White. He's the Political Editor of the Guardian, which should scare everybody:
An oilman I know slightly said in the pub that the "flaming taps" problem widely associated with techniques of hydraulic fracturing – fracking – became a problem only after rural folk in Pennsylvania went drilling for oil in their back yards (as Americans do) in an amateur, "mom and pop" fashion.
It went downhill from there.But journalists of MW's stature judging matters of great national interest from a man I met in the pub, doesn't lead to informed debate, or is that the point. Scare, fear, frighten and alarm sell papers. Throw in some famous British sneering. Facts? They, as Ed Davey can attest, can be safely ignored.
There are facts aplenty in a short and readable report that Balcombe Parish Council published the other day. The conventional wisdom is that in such a leafy and rich bastion of middle England, any change at all is automatically a change for the worst and fracking just ain't' going to happen because of pedestrian NIMBY concerns. To hell with billions of pounds worth of oil, the CW says it will stay in the ground because of local issues like traffic, noise and visual impact. But as usual, those concerns are inflated. The Guardian is eager to present fear, but will stop printing reality when it doesn't match the narrative. On traffic, let's consider the thousands of truck visits:
The number of vehicles travelling through the village has been counted on several occasions in recent years, and is about 10,000 vehicles per day. The number of vehicles per hour varies through the day with the largest number in the morning rush hour. On the London Road vehicles passing the school amount to about 4,000 per day. Using national statistics about 200 of these will be Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV).
The estimated numbers and types of vehicles associated with the exploration well were set out in an appendix to Cuadrilla's planning application. This indicates that there will be between seven and eleven weeks of activity, with the largest vehicles being those delivering and collecting the drilling rig to and from the Lower Stumble site. The extra light vehicle traffic will amount to approximately 30 vehicles per day added to the existing 3,800. The extra HGV traffic is expected to be 30 vehicles per day during the most active two weeks, and an average of 10 vehicles per day for the remainder of the period, to be added to the existing 200 per day
That could be an extra truck every twenty minutes. Worth leaving $100 a barrel oil in the ground for? But what about the noisy new neighbours?
In accordance with Government policy, it is a condition of planning permission at this site that noise emission (measured at the nearest residential properties) must not exceed 55 decibels between 7.30am and 6.30pm from Monday to Friday, and between 8am and 1pm on Saturday. At all other times it must not exceed 42 decibels. The only exception is when drilling is in progress 24 hours per day, but even then the sound level must not exceed 42 decibels between 10pm and 7am.. When drilling is in progress, other than in an emergency, Cuadrilla is prohibited from withdrawing or reinserting the drilling string, installing a casing or placing cement in the well between 10pm and 7am.
OMG! 42 decibels sounds awful! Shut the whole thing down. But credit to the Parish Council which unlike the Guardian provides that rariity in the shale debate, informed background:
To put these sound levels in context:
40 decibels = the sound of a refrigerator
50 decibels = the sound of moderate rainfall
60 decibels = conversation, or the sound of a dishwasher
Since some antis, including bizarrely many in Lancashire and Ireland, obsess on a perceived desertification potential from fracking, I assume that local residents aren't planning to legislate against moderate rainfall anytime soon.
Finally, the big one: Visual Impact. I live in a part of the world where getting planning permission for a roof extension is a multi year exercise that is mostly about planning department jobs more than anything else, but I can sympathize with those who think it's going to a sea of derricks and hundreds of wells. The reality? Far different, and far too boring for the Guardian to print:
Visual Intrusion
The site is well screened by trees but visual intrusion will be at its highest while the drilling rig, which is approximately 30 metres (100 feet) high, is in position. The rig, which will be in place for up to six weeks and will be removed once drilling is complete, will probably be visible from some properties on the south side of the village, the road and the railway. If the exploration is successful and Cuadrilla wishes to further develop the site, it is expected that a landscape assessment would be undertaken and that further screening and landscaping would be required as a condition of planning permission.
All in all, pretty boring news But no one will ever learn about it from the UK national press, who will continue to describe shale gas as "controversial" no matter how much evidence to the contrary.

Each game is a battle. Each win is regarded a victory in terms of not only a won-loss record, but in terms of progress.
For Boston College basketball coach Steve Donahue, just starting his 3rd season in attempting to turn the Eagles back into a factor in the soon to be shark infested waters of the Atlantic Coast Conference, progress comes in slow increments, many of them not even seen on the scoreboard.
The scoreboard at Conte Forum on Sunday afternoon said BC, 61, New Hampshire 59–in overtime.
This was hardly a stop the presses moment. New Hampshire is a middle of the road America East team that lost by a dozen point to Bryant University, which gave the Eagles a common bond. They also lost to Bryant this season.
Which should tell you what level that BC is at right now. They aren't a very good ACC team.
In fact as veteran Associated Press stringer Ken Powtak, who has seen the best and worst of BC basketball over the last several years, asked, "Where would BC finish in the America East (New Hampshire) Northeast Conference (Bryant) or the Ivy League (Harvard)?
Probably not even Donahue, who spent 10 years building Cornell from an Ivy League doormat into an NCAA Sweet 16 team, would argue the point if the answer was: not at the top.
Donahue knows there will be as many false steps as steps forward. The Eagles came into Sunday's game with losses to Bryant and Harvard still in their memory banks, but posted wins against Penn State and Auburn, which gives them an edge in the ACC-SEC-Big Ten challenge, but a deficit in the ACC-Ivy- America East showdown.
Donahue says the progress made has been slow and painful at times. "We're really 13 months into this and I started with only one scholarship player," said Donahue, acknowledging that his first season was played primarily with former coach Al Skinner's players, which helped BC climb over .500 and garner an NIT bid. ""We are still a program in transition. We're not there yet. But we are going to get better."
Donahue says he is much further along than he was in his third season at Cornell. "My goal at Cornell was to get competitive,"" said Donahue. "But we're at a much higher level now."
What is similar for Donahue is the grind of making it work. "Early on, I lost my head at Cornell," said Donahue. "I'm not going to do that here. I know where we've got to be. We're not there yet. We have to get better players and continue to develop."
Donahue knows there will be frustration at the pace of progress. "" I don't expect alums and fans to completely understand," he said. "That's not their job. I want them to know we are going to get this going, they'll see. They will look back. and say he was on the right track. We're 're very close to being competitive in this league. We don't have enough pieces right now, but we do have the pieces that are going to make us a very good ACC team next year. I am confident of that."
One of the pieces Donahue has is guard Alex Dragicevich, a transfer from Notre Dame who is sitting out this season, who Donahue says would be the Eagles best player if he were eligible this season
Donahue says sometimes progress is not obvious. " I cant judge my progress on the scoreboard," he said.
Sometimes he must send other messages, such as giving forward some bench time because of what Donahue felt was a lack of effort on the defensive end.
"I sent a message to Ryan last game," said Donahue. "He got it."
Yes, he did, scoring 23 points and pulling down 19 rebounds in Sunday's win over New Hampshire as well as being very much a factor down the stretch.
The progress, says Donahue might indeed be hard to see, which means another long winter at the bottom of the ACC pack this season.
Right now they are 5-5 with their next challenge coming against the Big East I Providence College, coached by former BC assistant Ed Cooley.
After that comes a Patriot League (Holy Cross)( and Ivy League (Dartmouth) showdown.
And then the Eagles will be into their ACC schedule beginning with NC State on January 5.
Donahue says it won't be pretty, even if some wins come. But his message is clear: Hang in there, the fight goes on and progress is being made.

Some time ago I got motivated to change my life for the better. I started wondering, where do I begin and it suddenly hit me – Facebook! There's that sinkhole that eats free time away. It violates my privacy and clears my memory blank on how to communicate with human beings vocally, vividly, normally. The easiest way to escape the problem is to solve it!
Join me on this journey.
1. Attention maniac
I travel a lot. I do photography a lot. And one day when I was trying to take a picture somewhere in the middle of the Spain I caught my mind on one obsessive though whether or not I will get "likes" from my friends and comments! And how wide my smile should be to get more and more attention? I love comments! Wait a minute?! What?! "So you actually travel across the globe, admiring the new wonders of life from its difference of perspective just to post pieces of it for your 2000 friends' amusement ?!" – I told myself and was amazed how stupid it sounded. And yes, I declared myself an attention maniac. I didn't like the way it sounded. So I'm in the process of changing it.
2. Photoshop your life
A great waste of time on Facebook is when people spend their precious time to photoshop/add a filter to almost each picture taken to make their life seem more than it actually is. May I just skip the part when I gush and tell how ridiculous of a time waster that is? And why would anybody want to photoshop their life? So anybody else would feel worse in comparison?! I Guess so. But if that trend is strong enough then there will be one day when somebody else's life will seem more interesting, more successful than the one you have… And you will spend huge amounts of time admiring their adventures, travel stories and their moments of brilliance instead of creating your own…
3. Employer check
"Pictures of last night ended up online – we're screwed…" How many of you guys wake up on Sunday morning just to discover some wild pictures from last night "Hangover" type on Facebook ?! How much time did you spend untagging yourself from this nightmare? What would your boss say if you were seen on the top of the table dancing your tush off half naked?! Imagine that. Do you really have that extra time to worry about such nonsense?!
4. Friendship that matters
Ever wondered why life has a tendency to cross some people away from your picture? There is a good reason for that. So why would you desperately want some people who have nothing to do you with you of today only because you shared some old memories 10 or even 20 years ago to be back in your life?! What's the purpose?
Keep in touch with those who matter the most in your life.
5. Social for real
I failed to remember when was the last time I actually gathered together with my friends on a weekly basis. What happened?! What amazed me the most is a response of one of my Facebook friends Kat on one of my emails. I asked how she was doing and all that I received in reply was simple: "Check my Facebook updates! Everything is there so nothing is the mystery". So Kat, no offense, in a reply here I will just say that I value the friendship that matters and those who have 2 sec to call me back just for the sake of it. That's why Not only I get rid of old clutter once in 6 months I also getting rid of highly unsociable "friends" 😉
6. TMI (too much of information)
I will not be the first who will say how ridiculous some posts in the news on Facebook are. So here is a simple question: how badly do you crave for an unnecessary information overload? How badly do you have to know if your cousins daughter have peed all over the map with more photos on subject to come? How badly do you need to know how many drinks your younger brother had consumed last Friday night? If somebody has no idea how to stop this madness of sharing every little detail of their daily life at least respect yourself enough to gain the control on the amount of incoming useless and unnecessary information!
7. Time waste
The greatest thief in your life is a bad time management. More on that in our previous post.
1. I have an announcement to make
First of all, make sure you make an announcement so your friends are aware of your desire to no longer be a time waster. Make a post. State the reason. Share it.
2. Save the contacts
Make sure you found the time in your day to save the contacts or any other valuable information.
3. Deactivate or delete?!
There is a difference. Deactivation of your page is a temporary matter. Deletion – once and for good. Which step is more appealing to you is completely up to you.
4. Click and decide.
Now when you learned the difference between deactivation and permanent deletion of your Facebook profile there is one thing left to do. Click and decide to be free from time wasting land. Here is the link which will make you Facebook free!
My sister had an experiment. She deactivated her Facebook profile for the summer period. First she felt the urge to come back after two days of silence to check some updates, statuses and pictures of friends. Then she just stated the fact that she will not be manipulated by that silly habit anymore. So the fear of losing friends and not being invited to any parties or fun events – gone completely. None of that ever happened. She created a limited circle of those friends who stayed in touch with her even after she quit Facebook for good. And my sister cannot be happier about it! You can be happy as well. Choose a wise time management over a time wasting. You have a freedom to be yourself here and now…

Where to Stay
Locals recommend visitors stay Southside at Hotel Highland or Downtown at the Tutwiler Inn. The Five Points South area, just south of downtown, is a vibrant neighborhood that encompasses the University of Alabama at Birmingham and plenty of blocks with upscale restaurants and boutiques. Birmingham is not public transit-friendly, so unless you are staying close to your hotel, you'll need a car to get around.
Don't try getting a hotel room on Talladega weekend unless you book way in advance.
Locals call the Tutwiler Inn the Tut.

Senior middle blocker Carly Wopat joined her on that list against Washington on Oct. 20. The pair are two of just 10 active Pac-12 players to have reached that plateau and becomes the 13th and 14th Stanford players since 1986 to accomplish the feat. The pair are just the second classmates in Cardinal history to each tally 1,000 career kills (Foluke Akinradewo ('08) and Cynthia Barboza ('08) were the first).

SPREAD OFFENSE: Stanford setter Madi Bugg has controlled the offense this season, ranking second in the Pac-12 and 11th in the nation with 11.57 assists per set, spreading the love amongst her teammates in the process. Five Cardinal players are averaging at least 2.30 kills per set - Carly Wopat (180k/3.00kps), Brittany Howard (178/2.87kps), Rachel Williams (171k/2.80kps), Jordan Burgess (163k/2.59kps) and Inky Ajanaku (140k/2.41kps).
CLIMBING THE CHARTS: Senior Carly Wopat already ranks among the top 10 in school history with 543 career blocks. Recently, she moved from sixth place to fourth on the Cardinal's career charts, passing former All-American Kerri Walsh ('99) and Laura Olesen ('90), and needs 36 more to match Cardinal great Foluke Akinradewo ('08) with 579. Her 1.37 career blocks per set average would be third in school history behind Bev Oden ('92).
SENIOR STATEMENT: Senior outside hitter Rachel Williams is one of the Cardinal leaders this season with 2.80 kills per set. She posted double-doubles in three consecutive matches (vs. Pacific, Florida & Texas) and leads the team with seven overall. Her 21 kills against then-No. 8 Florida are the most by a Cardinal player this season.
DOMINANT DEFENSE: Junior libero Kyle Gilbert has led the defensive side of the ball for the Cardinal this season and ranks second on the Pac-12 charts with 4.75 digs per set. She collected a season-high 29 digs at California (9/25), leading all players. Gilbert is averaging 3.87 digs per set for her career, ranking second in program history behind Gabi Ailes (4.57).
HOME SWEET HOME: Maples Pavilion gives the Cardinal a true home court advantage as Stanford has won 24 consecutive home matches dating back to the start of the 2012 campaign. Stanford's last loss at home came against Michigan on Dec. 3, 2011 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
LEADING THE CONFERENCE: Senior middle blocker Carly Wopat leads the Pac-12 and third in the nation with a .484 hitting percentage this season. Sophomore Inky Ajanaku is third in the conference with a .414 attack percentage, and 18th in the nation. Wopat is also ninth in the Pac-12 with 4.03 points per set.
HEAD COACH JOHN DUNNING: Now in his 13th season at the helm of the Cardinal program, head coach John Dunning is one of the most accomplished coaches in the collegiate volleyball world. Dunning has four national championships under his belt, has taken teams to nine Final Fours and carried six of his 12 Stanford teams to the national championship match.
MILESTONE FOR DUNNING: John Dunning secured his 700th career win during the 2010 season and will likely capture win No. 800 during 2013. In 29 years as a head coach, he is 793-167 (.826), giving him a winning percentage that ranks amongst the top-5 all-time for Division I coaches. Dunning is 356-65 in his 13 seasons on The Farm, leading all active coaches in the conference by winning percentage (.847).

No unmotivated worker left behind
By Paul Moomjean 09/26/2013
California is not the greatest example on how to run a state. Currently, the Golden State's unemployment rate (8.7 percent) is way higher than the national average (7.4 percent), according to the United States Department of Labor; and according to one study by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, California ranks 47 in the nation in school test scores, with only 22 percent of eighth graders proficient in science. Those numbers, by the way, are a strong indicator of only the worse is yet to come. Obviously, higher unemployment and a state on the decline educationally will only lead to more economic problems and less-qualified candidates. But don't worry, California, Gov. Jerry Brown is going to try to make it all better by raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour over the next three years. If you can't get people to earn their own raises, thank God the government will do that for them.
California Assembly Bill AB10 was sent to the state Senate and approved on a party-line 26-11 vote, with Democrats leading the charge. The Democrats are arguing that the bill will stimulate the economy.
"If you give people a couple more dollars an hour … to spend in their communities, spend it they will. They're not going to put it into a hedge fund," said Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego, according to The Associated Press. "Nothing will make small businesses happier. This will stimulate the economy as well as helping people's lives."
I can understand why Block believes giving people "more dollars" would stimulate the economy, but he misses the bigger point. Those dollars are being taken from the business owners who pay the "people" he's talking about.
Let's play a game of logic for one second. If giving people "more money" will stimulate the economy, then taking away money from business owners must, in theory, not stimulate more jobs, because jobs cost employers money.
So if the employers are losing money, then they can't hire more people, which means that, in reality, we will lose more spenders. Right? What am I missing here?
In fact, the California Chamber of Commerce agrees with me. "We have it tagged as a job killer, given the increased costs businesses will be faced with," Jennifer Barrera, a spokeswoman for the California Chamber of Commerce, argued right before the bill went to vote.
What Barrera understands is that when you take money away from mom-and-pop stores and small franchises, then they will have to hire fewer people and/or increase costs. You cannot have your minimum wage and eat it, too.
Thomas Sowell, perhaps the brightest economist in the world today, argues against the minimum wage as well:
"It would be comforting to believe that the government can simply decree higher pay for low-wage workers, without having to worry about unfortunate repercussions, but the preponderance of evidence indicates that labor is not exempt from the basic economic principle that artificially high prices cause surpluses. In the case of the surplus of human beings, that can be a special tragedy when they are already from low-income, unskilled or minority backgrounds and urgently need to get on the job ladder if they are ever to move up the ladder by acquiring experience and skills."
Sowell understands the other repercussion, which is that raising the minimum wage will decrease motivation in urban and poor areas. Why go to school? Why acquire new skills? Why work harder? If the government is going to make sure I make more money, despite my lack of effort to obtain it, then I can just sit around waiting for my next raise.
Obviously, the war for higher wages has been a major issue lately. A few weeks ago I wrote about the fast food workers striking to make more without offering to add to the business in the areas of innovation or, heck, just working harder. They believed their very existence required a raise.
Sadly, much of this stems from our failing school system not preparing our kids for higher-wage jobs to begin with. Mix that with apathetic workers and you have a recipe for disaster.
What Brown really should call this bill is No Unmotivated Worker Left Behind.

The weigh-in for the Saturday AC card topped by Bernard Hopkins, defending his IBF 175 pound crown against Iraq-born German resident Karo Murat unfolded on Friday afternoon in AC, and the main eventers both made weight.
Hopkins, who turns 49 in January, was 172 1/2 pounds, while Murat weighed 174. They jawed some at each other during a poseoff, ahead of the Golden Boy promotion.
Readers, who do you like to win the contest? Murat's skills seem to be decent, but could "decent" EVER beat Hopkins, even at age 48, 49, 50, etc? As Hopkins himself has said, Murat has to hope the ageless wonder lost something in between his last fight and now, and got a visit from Father Time, and has deteriorated. We doubt that...Do you? Could Murat pull off a massive upset? Fire your prediction, including whether you think Hopkins will 1) actually gun for the KO he promised or 2) achieve his first stoppage since 2004.
Hopkins chatted with Steve Farhood after he stepped on the scale. The man calling himself "The Alien" chuckled that Murat made a throat-slash gesture, referencing his old "Executioner" nom de guerre.
Did he see anything in Murat's eyes? He said he saw fear, but "Murat is coming to fight." He said coming in light was a "statement," and yelled to Adrien Broner to take note.
On Saturday, he said, he will end his KO drought. He last stopped a foe in 2004, when he dropped and stopped Oscar De La Hoya.
WBO 160 pound champ Peter Quillin of NY was 159 1/4 pounds, while challenger Gabriel Rosado of Philly was 160 on the dot. They did a staredown and Quillin barked hard at him. Farhood talked to Rosado first after the scale session. Rosado didn't want to divulge what Quillin was saying, and said he's used to it, and he will talk in the ring. He said he's comfy at 160 now, in his third middleweight fight. "I'm going to take the title back to Philly," and said the fight wouldn't go the distance. "He gonna be on his ass."
Then, Quillin talked to Farhood. He said he'd get arrested for beating up a "sucker" in the street but he will be able to beat Gabe up and not get incarcerated. He too said he looks for a KO win.
Alabaman Deontay Wilder was 224 pounds, while foe Nicolai Firtha of Akron, Ohio was 252 1/2. That fight is scheduled for ten rounds or less, emphasis on "less." Wilder chatted with Farhood, and was asked about him chowing on the scale. He said he likes to be an entertainer, and a "silly guy." It was strawberry shortcake, for the record. The 29-0 with 29 KOs Wilder said he's excited and feels no pressure.
Danny Garcia chatted with Farhood before the weigh in, and again after. The 140 pound champ said he was looking forward to a great night of fights. Next for him? "I'm just resting," he said. He's training kids, he said, and owns a barbershop. He looks to fight in the first quarter of the year, he said. No possible foes were mentioned. He will Tweet on fight night, which kicks off on Showtime at 9 PM ET.
Murat is coming to fight, and yes he will be coming forward, walking into right hands and left hooks. Murat gave hopkins the throat slashing sign, careful what you ask for.
Hopkins may get him out of there as a statement.
Appreciate this ATG while he is here.
I will be watching and taking notes while this master professor breaks down another boxing lesson.
I'm on a one fight winning streak, and am ancient enough to remember the night Sugar Ray Robinson became old , his reflexes were shot, and is apt to happen an upset occurred a l5 to 1 underdog fireman from Boston beat him--not once, but twice....Hopkins doesn't need the money, and that's always weird, but I got a feelin he might go through that transformation which signifies irreversible athletic decay....
"The Alien" Haha, it's so ridiculous it's awesome! The way Smoger kept pushing Murat around I was waiting for HIM to start taking swings at Murat too. That was the most entertaining B-Hop fight I've watched in a long time.
I thought so too. The last several years the only guy Hopkins KO's is his audience - puts me to sleep usually. This one was entertaining and he was letting his hands go a little. The other "Alien" is Richard "The Alien" Grant who got KO'd by James "The Hammer" Butler after beating him shortly after 9/11 on firefighter appreciation night. The ALien went to hug him and Butler coldcocked him with knuckles. The Hammer was a pure psychopath.
That pure psychopath is locked up for life. May he rot in his cell and then go straight to H€LL. And BURN, babaeee, BURN!!! And then satan can flush dat Harlem Hammer BYYTCCCH's ashes down a big commode. Holla!
I thought it was too early to take a point from Murat.
Smoger spent the night shoving him around like he was a hard case.
Which encouraged Bhop to do a bit more clowning than usual.
Otherwise Bhop went "Buck wild " on offence....although the Iranian was durable and hungry.
It didn't matter how good Murat really was. Or who he was(a complete no-name)
Bhop had the entire partisan crowd shrieking howling and squealing with glee for the entire 12 ruonds
I though it was interesting that When Bhop got hit low twice on the blind side he never complained.
Maybe because he new he was winning.
This fight was an entertaining romp...even for a non Bhop fan like myself.
23 title defenses is no joke...but can he beat a live 175 pounder with the punching power of a middle weight?.
I wanted to see Rosario win simply because he's an interesting fighter.
But it appears he still would have received the shaft had he not suffered a cut.
What a shame...l had the fight even at the time of the stoppage.
Wilder did well against a bigger guy showing good pacing, movement and evasive skills.
Wilder showed he can even counter while moving and pivoting in reverse.
Breland has taught the string bean how to use his reach and his feet while knowing where to duck if he misses a heavy punch
Far from perfect....but its good to see an enthusiastic prospect growing in confidence fight after fight. In another fight or two against stiff opposition I'd like to see him against Tony Thompson.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Chelsea Dunn got the scoring started in the 7th minute when she scored on a header from Jordan Dolbin. From that point forward the game was pretty much a stalemate until Breann Kinworthy of Missouri Valley netted a goal just before halftime.
The Wildcats (7-4-3) will return to action on Saturday Oct. 23rd when they face Lindenwood University at 5:30 p.m.

ODESSA - Chance Douglass allowed only four hits, and Randall took advantage of four El Paso Ysleta errors Saturday for an 11-1, five-inning victory to take the Class 4A area-round best-of-3 baseball playoff series in two games.
The Raiders (22-9) advance to play District 4-4A rival Canyon in a one-game playoff set for 5 p.m. Friday at West Texas A&M.
Much like the first game of the series, Randall controlled the Indians (16-14) with dominant pitching. Douglass held Ysleta hitless through the first three innings and never allowed the Indians to get on track at the plate.
The Randall hitters, on the other hand, routinely pounded away at the Indians pitching staff. Seven Raiders batters combined for eight singles, with Clayton Sykes producing a pair of hits.
The offensive output helped Randall take a five- run lead in the second inning and hold on for the series victory.
Douglass improved to 7-1 on the season with the victory.
Seminole 6-8, S-Fritch 2-12 PLAINVIEW - The Sanford-Fritch Eagles took advantage of eight Seminole errors and went on to defeat the Indians 12-8 Saturday afternoon to win game three and win the teams' best-of-3 series.
Combined with Friday's opening-game win, the Eagles (16-11) earn a berth in the area regional quarterfinals against Crane. The teams will square off in a single game Friday at 7:30 in Lubbock.
Seminole ends its season at 19-11.
The Eagles got plenty of production from their offense in the third game, registering seven hits while benefiting from 11 unearned runs. Sanford-Fritch scored five runs in the second and four runs in the sixth inning.
Seminole committed four errors in the fourth inning as Eagles starting pitcher Jake Walker doubled and third baseman Shiloh Reed singled. The Indians suffered two more errors in the sixth as Walker added a triple and first baseman Cade Carr singled.
Walker started for the Eagles and was replaced by Armando Gallegos in the third inning. Telly Henderson came on in the fifth and finished up.
Seminole won the opening game 6-2 as Chris Espinoza pitched a three-hitter against the Eagles.
The game was scoreless going into the fifth inning but the Indians got five runs with two outs in the fifth, thanks to two Eagles errors.
