There's no quicker path to misery than comparing yourself to others. The only person you need to be concerned about being is you:
- Decide for yourself who you are.
- Do the things you love to do.
- Act the way you act.
- Live life as the person you know you are deep inside.
- Follow your own path.
- Sing your own song.
Happy people understand that fulfillment and meaning comes from being themselves, not someone else. What will you do to find the real you and live life as yourself?

Christians to step up hunger strike
Protesters seeking burial plots remain defiant despite lack of government response
March 28, 2011
A hunger strike in Kathmandu by Christians to force the government into giving them burial plots entered its sixth day today, with the government yet to respond to their demands. Dozens of Christian men and women are continuing to go without food or water on a relay basis and are praying and singing hymns around a symbolic red coffin in a tent in central Kathmandu. At a rally yesterday, protest leaders vowed to continue the hunger strike until their demands are met. "Not a single political party or civil group has made any public statement on our behalf. We remain peaceful in prayer despite people ignoring our presence. But if nothing is done very soon, we will bring our dead bodies and bury them in Tundikhel [a grassy parade ground in central Kathmandu]," said Pastor Chari Bahadur Gahatraj, secretary of the Christian advisory group that organized the protest. "We believe Nepal's 2 million Christians are with us. We believe the 400,000 Christians around Kathmandu are with us," he said. "How would Prime Minitser Jhalanath Khanal feel if his father died and we told him he could not cremate him but to throw the body in the Trisuli River?" Gahatraj said. Several rights activists also spoke out in support of the Christians yesterday, including former politicians Daman Nath Dhungana and Padma Ratna Tuladher. "I think it is the Lord's wish that you suffer like this for a just cause, so the foundation in obtaining rights for yourselves and others will be strong. I believe you will succeed in your just demands if you do not give up," Dhungana told the protesters. Pastor Sunder Thapa, president of the Christian Advisory Committee for the New Constitution, said that the protest would grow and spread through the streets if nothing was done after a week of fasting.

Nelly ft. Daley - Heaven
Posted 2 years ago
Tags: Nelly , Hitmaker , R And B Pop
Everyone and their mother knows Nelly puts on for the Midwest (St. Louis to be exact), but just because he roots for the Cardinals and Rams doesn't mean he doesn't have friends in all parts of the world. For example, on Heaven, Nelly teams up with British singer/songwriter Daley, who showcases his bubbly, catchy vocals over the track's feel-good, summery beat. Over the refreshing instrumental, Nelly foregoes the ultra-charismatic flows of his previous hits in favor of a more melodic, pop-oriented style. Heaven is the latest single off Nelly's forthcoming M.O. LP, scheduled to drop later this month.

Petition filed to wind up restaurant group
A petition to wind up Claudio Vigilantes Associated Cuisine restaurant group has been filed in Supreme Court.
The petition will be heard before the court on November 9, when any creditors or contributories are urged to come forward.
It is the company itself which is applying to be wound-up, a spokesman for the company said. The restaurants simply cannot continue in the current economic climate. No creditor has made any application to wind up Associated Cuisine Limited.
Notice of the winding up comes after multiple lawsuits were filed in the last year involving the former Frescos group of restaurants.
Associated Cuisines last remaining businesses, Marias Ristorante and Frescos wine bar, closed down this month.
Aqua, Silk and 64� Bar & Grill at Port Royal have all closed down, while Mr Vigilante retained O Bar, the former Opus Bar and Lounge, which was owned by him and other shareholders.
Last month O-Bar, on Bermudiana Road, was put up for sale.
CH Ltd, landlord for Marias and Frescos, recently took out a writ against the company.
A spokesman for CH Ltd said there were alleged lease arrears or back rent of some $79,000.

What New Years resolution can help me learn financial responsibility?
January 03, 2007 at 1:29 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
I get $20 a week as an allowance from my parents and I usually make some extra money cutting grass for my neighbors during the summer.
At my age, what type of financial resolution should I make that would help to teach me responsibility with money? - Need a Resolution in Des Allemands
Dear Need a Resolution: You should keep your New Year's financial resolution simple since you are just beginning to learn about being responsible with money.
My suggestion would be to open a bank account and avoid the frills and extras as overdraft protection.
The experience of depositing your allowance and summer earnings, reconciling your bank account monthly when your bank statement arrives, the potential experience of bouncing a few checks, and the associated fees that are charged for overdrafts, will help you learn a basic responsibility in learning about cash in the bank, the consequences of not balancing a checkbook, and budgeting.
Students' questions about finances answered - only in the St. Charles Herald-Guide. Financial expert and school board member-elect Al Suffrin, a certified public accountant, takes on the tough questions from parish kids- and their parents - in an important weekly column everyone should read.

Quantum Key West 2013 - Dandy opener in Miami for J's
by Bill Wagner on 22 Jan 2013
J/70 boats in action at Quantum Key West 2013 Leighton O'Connor
The opening day of Quantum Key West Race Week 2013 has been splendid for the participating crews of J boats, who started their respective competitions with perfect sailing condition.
The first day of sailing could not have turned out nicer for the start of Key West Race Week. For many, its why the sailors come back for more every year to this corner of the far western Caribbean. With gorgeous aquamarine waters punctuated by white, torn cotton cumulus scudding across sunlit skies, it's not hard to imagine the sailing is second to none. Today's weather forecasts of light n'ne winds of four to eight knots for Monday and building late in the afternoon to eight to 13 knots from the NW meant the fleet was going to be in for some unusual strategies going around the race course. Would the sailors follow the classic tactics of going into the island, or go left and pray the weather forecasters were wrong?! The chutes and ladders results in the J/70 class were certainly an indicator that ideas ranged across the board.
In the J/70 class, all the sailors were going into the first day of racing with wide-open expectations about what might happen on the race track. With a fleet deeply-laden with talent, the outcomes for the first two races were going to help the teams learn more about how their boats were going to perform against their colleagues. With two races behind them, it was pretty clear one team had the day 'dialed in', with Joe Collings from Ohio and friend Dave Ullman and Tommie Lihan scoring an impressive 2-2 to lead the fleet. Just behind them in second place is Brian Elliott on B-Squared with a 4-7; Bob Hughes on Heartbreaker with a 1-12 tied with Ryan Ruhlman on Spaceman Spiff with an 8-5; and lying fifth is Cole Allsop on Moxie with a 5-10. In the J/70 Corinthian Division, Brian Elliott on B-Squared is leaded with a 1-1, Chris Carroll on Torqeedo is second with a 2-4 and Kathy Parks and husband Paul Parks are third on Sundog with a 6-2.
The PHRF Racers had some incredibly tight racing on the Division Three course. In PHRF 1, a familiar name as at the top of the heap, with Robin Team's J/122 Teamwork sailing to a 1-2 and holds a narrow edge over Jim Bishops J/44 White Gold with a 3-1 and Bob Hesse's J/111 Lake Effect in third with a 2-3. In PHRF 2, Bill Sweetser's J/109 Rush leading the fleet with a 2-1.
In the J/80s Ron Buzil and Andrew Kerr on Vayu 2 from Chicago had a good day, posting a 1-2 to lead their fleet. Second is John Krediet on Participant III with a 2-2 and third is Willy T with a 3-3 for third.
Bill Wagner from Premier Racing had a chance to wander the docks and chat with some of the J/70 teams that are participating in the event. One of them was Tate Russack sailing Diesel. Tate Russack was looking for a small sailboat he could trailer to major regattas around the country. The Annapolis resident liked everything about the new J/70 sloop and pulled the trigger on purchasing one when he learned enough had been sold to sustain viable one-design racing. 'J/Boats has upped the ante on the sport boat market with this design. It's easy to sail, but highly competitive,' Russack said. Russack was pleasantly surprised to see 23 boats show up for the Fall Brawl, hosted by Eastport Yacht Club in early November. He is downright shocked that a whopping 39 boats will be on the start line at Quantum Key West 2013, making J/70 the largest fleet at the annual midwinter regatta. 'It's really amazing how fast this class has exploded,' he said. 'This regatta is filled with a bunch of top-notch sailors. Having a fleet as competitive as this is great; what better way to gauge yourself?'
Russack and his team on Diesel won the EYC Fall Brawl, a very competitive two-day event that ended with the top three finishers separated by just five points. North Sails professional Allan Terhune served as tactician for Russack in Annapolis and will do so again in Key West. 'Allan is unbelievable, like a gift from the sailing gods. I can't tell you how many times we had a bad start and Allen brought us back by calling all the wind shifts,' Russack said of Terhune's performance at the Fall Brawl. While Russack was the winner of the only J/70 regatta held to date, he is not the favorite here in Key West. That's because several renowned professionals such as Tim Healy, Kerry Klingler and Dave Ullman have joined the class. 'We're ready for the regatta. We've done a lot of work with the boat and practiced to hone our skills,' Russack said. 'It's an extremely competitive fleet and all we can do is sail to the best of our ability and let the chips fall where they will.'
Designed by Al Johnstone, the J/70 is a 22-foot sport boat with all carbon-fiber rigging and an asymmetrical spinnaker that gets the boat planning downwind in about 14 knots. Russack said the boat 'lends itself to highly technical sailing' in terms of tuning the rig and adjusting the sail trim to fit certain conditions. These boats are really fun and exciting. When you put the spinnaker up, it's like going to warp speed. The boat just takes off. It also has very good acceleration upwind.'
The J/70 has taken the sailing world by storm with J/Boats having already sold 350 of the small one-design racers. Rod Johnstone, founder of J/Boats, said the company felt there was a void in the market for a club racer that could be ramp launched and garage stored, and clearly that assessment was correct. 'The J/70 is stable enough that an average sailor can handle it and seaworthy enough that it can be raced in any venue,' Johnstone said. 'It's got a great cockpit that easily fits four people and steers really well. We were very disciplined in keeping the boat simple and economical.' Many top-notch skippers that have captured major championships in other one-design classes have jumped into the J/70, including Klingler (J/80), Healy (J/24) and Ullman (Melges 24). Johnstone said J/Boats had sailors of that caliber test drive prototypes and offer input for improvements. 'When the wind hits the sails of this boat it really responds. It's a fast, lively boat that planes quickly downwind and points well upwind,' Johnstone said. 'We feel it's a good family boat because you don't need a bunch of experts to sail it safely.'
Key West will serve as the inaugural midwinter championship for the class and will mark the largest gathering of J/70s to date. 'Key West has always been a tremendous showcase for any new design and we are looking forward to really launching the J/70 to a wider audience with great competition at one of the world's most renowned regattas,' Johnstone said. 'We debuted the J/24 in Key West back in January, 1978 so this is like going back to where it all started for our company.'
Brian Keane, a past winner at Key West in both the J/105 and J/80 classes, is among the owners impressed enough to buy a J/70 and is eager to test his new toy against such a deep fleet. 'It's truly amazing for a brand new boat to be the largest class at such a quality regatta as Key West,' Keane said. 'I'm really impressed with the caliber of sailors in the fleet. This is going to be hot competition and a lot of fun.'
Klingler noted that all the owners are still learning the boat, particularly how to handle the oversized spinnaker that will be critical to success.
Johnstone, who will be racing with son Jeff, said he is 'prepared for mayhem' in the inevitable windy conditions. His other son, current J/Boats president Al Johnstone, was the chief designer of the J/70. Ullman has a somewhat selfish reason for joining the class. Obviously, the West Coast sailmaker wants to sell his product to this suddenly burgeoning market.
Ullman, who is calling tactics for Joseph Colling in Key West, could not think of another class that has grown so quickly. 'I've never seen anything like this, especially in what was considered a down market. J/Boats found the right niche and the right time,' said Ullman, who did not hesitate when asked why the design has been so successful. 'Price point, quality of construction, timing. They just hit it all. Apparently, they've had this on the boards for a while and picked the right time to go.'

The Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART) will hold 2 classes next Saturday to teach dog owners how to wrap their dog's paws if it is injured while you hike or camp. When many of us take our dogs on hikes, we rarely give much thought about what we will do if it injures a paw and can't walk. In this class you'll learn how to bandage these injuries so you can make it back down a trail without having to carry your dog. WASART is an all volunteer organization that "rescues pets and livestock in emergency situations." If you take your dog on adventures in remote places, this Continue Reading

Dog eats rat poison at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill
Yesterday the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog (CHS) reported yesterday that "a Capitol Hill dog was sickened Tuesday after eating what (appeared) to be rat poison left near the playground in Cal Anderson Park."

Here's what she wrote about the incident on her Facebook page: "Look. I know the "wildlife" of Cal Anderson park are large, powerful, and numerous–but don't be an idiot vigilante.

Okay, this is from the other team, but if you like Vice (as long as McCain is healthy) President Palin, here's some info that goes deeper than "I'm a hockey mom, I'm a hockey mom."
"Bush, Cheney give Palin thumbs-up" – AP 9/08/08
On the same day that John McCain released an ad claiming he and Palin would bring change, George Bush and Dick Cheney gave her a big vote of confidence. Does anyone really think Bush or Cheney is looking to change Washington after the last eight years?
For the Bridge to Nowhere…before she was against it
Less than two years ago on the campaign trail, Palin actually ran for governor on a pledge to support wasting federal money on the so-called "Bridge to Nowhere." Once Congress killed the project, she kept the money anyway. But today she claims she was against it all along. Which is it? Read More >>
Friendliness with Big Oil pays big dividends for Palin
Palin claims she stood up to Big Oil, but that's not what the oil industry lobbyists who poured thousands into her last campaign would call it. For someone who thinks we can drill our way out of our problems, Palin didn't bat an eye when it came to helping Dick Cheney's friends in Big Oil export natural gas from Alaska. Read More >>
Standing up to special interests…with lobbyists
As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist tied to indicted Bridge to Nowhere sponsor Ted Stevens to get the tiny town millions in federal earmarks. Putting a Big Oil lobbyist on her ticket as lieutenant governor gave a big boost to her run for governor, too. Read More >>
Playing the earmark game to win
As mayor, Palin hired Wasilla's first federal lobbyist to win the town tens of millions in federal earmarks. As governor, Palin has requested hundreds of millions in federal earmarks for Alaska. As a vice presidential candidate, she says she's opposed earmarks all along. Oh really? Read More >>
An ethics record to rival Dick Cheney
Dick Cheney has had a lifetime to accumulate a reputation for shady ethics, but Sarah Palin is catching up fast. Just like the politician she hopes to replace, Palin has come under fire for politicizing top offices of law enforcement in both City Hall and the Statehouse. Read More >>
A closer look at Palin's record in office
The McCain-Palin team has been touting her executive record as mayor, but did they mean to highlight her experience growing government spending and expanding debt? Read More >>

Hitwise is sharing some pretty interesting data about online searches for offline actions. Querying "printable coupons" and "store locator" have soared in recent weeks.
Last year a similar soar occurred, and while the searches dipped after the holidays – a lift remained and stabilized. This new spike is exceeding last year's spike in a big way.
It will be interesting to see if another lift remains after the inevitable post-holiday drop-off. I'm guessing it will and you'll definitely want to have pages optimized for coupons and store locations if you haven't done so.

9. Where does the equivalence of terms in an economic break down, in Schelling's analysis?
10. What is a closed model, in Schelling's analysis?
Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Schelling describes underlying assumptions as being difficult to account for in economic models of social behavior. What methods does Schelling use for making this accounting, and where does his social science begin to need psychological language for unconscious behaviors? In other words, what behaviors do Schelling's models still fail to account for, and is there a point beyond which these economic models cannot go, in estimating individual behavior or accounting for micromotives behind macrobehavior? Will there always be an ultimate 'theory of no guarantees' behind the models?
Essay Topic 2
Which models are most convincing in predicting outcomes, and which models are least convincing? Describe a case where a model lines up neatly with phenomena, and another case where a model fails to account for behavior.
Essay Topic 3
Schelling seems to be making the point that segregation may be a social problem, but it is being acted out by individuals. Is his account complete, or is there an extent to which social behaviors are influenced by institutions and ideologies and unofficial policies? What role do these things play in segregation?

However, in addition to lightning in the troposphere, there are kinds of lightning discharges which occur above the thunderstorms. Up to now, lightning discharges above storms include sprite, elves (Emissions of Light and VLF perturbation due to EMP Sources, elves), Blue jet and Gigantic jet etc, and all of these discharges are totally named as Transient Luminous Events (TLEs). Gigantic jets were observed in America, Taiwan and Europe regions. Gigantic jet is sporadic compared with sprite, elves etc. Is there gigantic jet in middle latitude region in mainland China?
This images shows: (a) Observed gigantic jet in this paper; (b) Gigantic jet producing storm A and five sprite producing storm B. The two yellow lines represent the range of the line-of-sight extending from the observation site, that is, the camera field of view (FOV). The pink line is the gigantic jet azimuth in the camera FOV.
Credit: ©Science China Press
A recent study entitled "A gigantic jet event observed over a thunderstorm in mainland China", has been published in Chinese Science Bulletin, 2012, Vol 57(36). Detailed analysis of the observed gigantic jet and its associated storm were analyzed by using multiple data sets including low-light level observation, lightning location network, Doppler radar data and infrared weather images. This report was accomplished by the corresponding author Jing YangCa research associate from Key Laboratory of Middle Atmosphere and Global Environment Observation (LAGEO), Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Gigantic jet is a kind of large transient discharge which occurs above thunderstorms. It initiates from the thundercloud top and develops upward to the ionosphere, and connects the thunderstorm and ionosphere directly. Previous studies show that gigantic jet is often observed in tropical or subtropical regions, sometimes over winter thunderstorms. Is there gigantic jet in middle latitude region in mainland China? In addition, previous studies show that gigantic jet and sprites often occurred over the same storm. Is there any special case except this?
A gigantic jet event observed in middle latitude region in mainland China was first reported. The results show that the gigantic jet has tree-like shape, and the gigantic jet producing storm center located at about 35.6‹N, 119.8‹E. Different from other study that sprites and gigantic jets were produced by the same storm, two different storms produced two types of TLEs, that is, the gigantic jet producing storm produced only one gigantic jet event during its lifetime and five sprites were produced over another storm in this study. Also different from results in other studies that positive CGs dominated during a time period centered at gigantic jet, negative CGs dominated during a time period centered at the gigantic jet event and during most of the time in storm life in this study.
Gigantic jet starts from the thundercloud top and propagates upwards to the ionosphere, and it has a direct influence on the ionosphere potential and the electrical environment in the near space. Studies on this kind of discharge will provide an important protection for the space environment.Contact: Yang Jing

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Justin Tuck is his own worst critic.
And right now, the New York Giants defensive end doesn't like what he sees from himself on the football field.
"I do suck," Tuck said bluntly after Thursday's practice. "I am a very honest person."
The 28-year-old was a Pro Bowler last season, notching 11½ sacks and six forced fumbles. But because of lingering neck and groin injuries that have caused him to miss four games, Tuck's production has plummeted considerably in 2011.
He enters Sunday night's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles with 10 tackles and two sacks -- 1½ of which came in the home opener against the St. Louis Rams. In the Giants' 27-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday, Tuck didn't have a tackle or sack. He did have a chance to bring down 49ers quarterback Alex Smith, but couldn't.
"I guess when I say that, I guess it comes from the stats. That's the selfish part of any athlete," said Tuck, adding that injuries have been a factor in his struggles.
"Numbers are ego. I sit here and mope around and tell you guys I suck. But at the end of the day I'm still out there helping the football team win."
Still, Tuck says, stats can be misleading.
"It is more than that. Because I've had games where [my] stats have been great and I've played like crap and vice versa," he said.
Ultimately, Tuck says, he just doesn't feel like himself, and it's frustrating.
"I'm not me. I'm not a very good player right now," Tuck said. "I do look at myself on film and I don't like what I see. It's not the effort. I feel like I'm putting forth the effort, but there's just not some things allowing me to play my style of football."
Tuck said he's not playing "cautiously" or "afraid," he just isn't able to do some things on the football field that he usually can.
"I'm hoping that sooner or later we'll catch up with all the nagging things," Tuck said. "It's not something that's gonna hold me out of a game, it's just little things like I can't put myself in the same position that I normally could."
Tuck still holds out hope that he can return to an elite level by the end of the season.
"I wouldn't come here to work every day if I didn't," Tuck said. "It's getting better. It's just not getting better as fast as I want it to."
Coach Tom Coughlin has noticed.
"We certainly see that he is not to where he needs to be," Coughlin said. "Hopefully that is coming."
Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is optimistic that it will.
"Obviously, he was playing at a high level in the preseason before his injury," Fewell said. "Has he been able to jump back on the bicycle and ride as fast as we want him to ride? No. But I think it's coming. He's always more critical of himself than anybody else. He wants to improve and get better, and he will get better. It just takes time."
Tuck's track record certainly suggests as much. The seventh-year pro has amassed 42½ sacks in 89 career games. He's a two-time All-Pro. And he's been a defensive captain for the last two seasons.
Plus, if there's anytime he'd be motivated, it would be now. Tuck reiterated that last year's "Miracle at the New Meadowlands" -- when the Giants blew a 21-point lead to the Eagles, and wound up missing the playoffs as a result -- is something that will "stick with me for the rest of my life.
"But we can ease some of that by getting a win on Sunday night."
The stats on the back of Tuck's football card may not look great at the end of the season, but the defensive end still has ample time to make them look respectable.
"We still [have] seven games left, so we'll see," he said.

Activision announces Call of Duty: Ghosts preorder bonus
Earlybird gamers will be rewarded with Free Fall multiplayer map
GAMES PUBLISHER Activision has announced that preorders of its upcoming first-person shooter Call of Duty: Ghosts will get a bonus, with earlybird gamers to be rewarded with an exclusive multiplayer map named "Free Fall".
It might not be the best reward in the world, but those interested will find that Free Fall is a night time multiplayer level set atop a deteriorating skyscraper.
"The brand-new 'Call of Duty: Ghosts' multiplayer map Free Fall drops you into a shattered skyscraper on the brink of collapse," the publisher's description reads. "Sideways staircases climb into the night sky, elevator shafts run along the ground, and what were once windows now form a terrifying glass floor, hundreds of feet above the city streets."
Activision said it will make the preorder bonus available through "select retailers", though it hasn't said which yet.
Available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC platforms, Call of Duty: Ghosts, which drops the Modern Warfare bit from the CoD game titles, has a 5 November release date.
So far all we have to go on is a teaser trailer embedded below that talks a lot about wearing masks, why we wear masks and who wears masks.
Many different types of warriors are shown, so we could speculate that Call of Duty: Ghosts is a kind of other-worldly beat 'em up free for all where warriors of all kinds do battle. That would be a radical move away from the Call of Duty franchise though. µ
