Summarizing my impressions I must acknowledge that despite some defects which aren't really serious, the EPSON P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer is a revolutionary product that can solve many problems of a modern man. I hope other manufacturers will release similar devices soon, making the competition tougher, the price lower, and the functionality of the viewer wider. I think the P-2000 may be interesting for professional and amateur photographers as well as for people who like extravagant things. I would certainly buy one for myself if the P-2000 could display RAW files from my Olympus.
- Cute exterior
- High-contrast LCD screen

Samoyed – Fluffy Entertaining Pet
May 16, 2010 by Plus Pets
The Samoyed dog takes its name from the Samoyedic peoples of Siberia. An alternate name for the breed, especially in Europe, is Bjelkier. These nomadic reindeer herders bred the fluffy, white, smiling dogs to help with the herding, to pull sleds when they moved, and to keep their owners warm at night by sleeping on top of them.
Samoyeds have a lot of vitality, and well cared for Samoyeds are known to retain their youthful, energetic spirit well into their senior years. The average lifespan for a Samoyed is 12 to 16 years. Being a working breed, they have excellent stamina, and without daily exercise they will become bored and/or depressed, which can lead to excessive barking, destruction, weight gain, irritability, and escape artist behavior.Samoyeds are typically a hardy dog, but do have their share of health concerns. They share a common resemblance with an American Eskimo dog. They may also be mistaken for Husky dogs or Japanese Spitz by inexperienced people.
Samoyeds' friendly disposition makes them poor guard dogs; an aggressive Samoyed is rare. With their tendency to bark, however, they can be diligent watch dogs, barking whenever something approaches their territory. Samoyeds are excellent companions, especially for small children or even other dogs, and they remain playful into old age. When Samoyeds become bored they may begin to dig. With their sled dog heritage, a Samoyed is not averse to pulling things, and an untrained Samoyed has no problem pulling its owner on a leash rather than walking alongside. Samoyeds were also used to herd reindeer. They will instinctively act as herd dogs, and when playing with children, especially, will often attempt to turn and move them in a different direction. The breed is characterized by an alert and happy expression which has earned the nicknames "Sammy smile" and "smiley dog.
When a Samoyed "blows" their coat, the majority of the undercoat sheds and is renewed; the old coat can come out in large clumps, leading to bald spots in some extreme cases. One can comb it deeply, with a metal comb, which will speed up the shedding process and allow the Samoyed to regain its usual appearance more quickly. Frequent combing during a blow will be a great help in preventing matting. Giving a Samoyed a bath is a somewhat time consuming process as the coat is semi-weatherproof and will take some time to get completely wet, then completely rinsed. The Samoyed coat should be dried with cool, forced air (which can be done with a canister dryer, shop vacuum or blow or kennel dryer) as water can be trapped in the very thick undercoat, has difficulty evaporating and may remain in the fur for some time, possibly leading to a "hot spot." Drying the Samoyed coat will also reduce matting caused by dampness in the undercoat. It is important to rinse well, as any shampoo or soap left in the coat after bathing can lead to a "hot spot" or a fungal infection, which is difficult to cure without shaving the affected location. To keep the Samoyed's coat gleaming, dedicated grooming and a healthy diet cannot be overlooked.

Pilafs may be served at everyday meals but are grand enough for entertaining as well. If you like, you could add a generous pinch of saffron threads to the rice just before you cover it and let it simmer. You could also use chicken stock instead of the 22 cup water.
- Yield
- Serves 4-6
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 3 tablespoons olive or canola oil or ghee
- One 2-inch cinnamon stick
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced into fine half Rings
- 2 tablespoons slivered blanched almonds
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Put the rice in a bowl. Wash in several changes of water. Drain. Let the rice soak in water that covers it generously for 30 minutes. Drain through a sieve and leave in the sieve suspended over a bowl to drip. Pour the oil into a heavy, medium pan (that has a tight-fitting lid) and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the cinnamon. Let it sizzle for 10 seconds. Put in the onions. Stir and fry the onions until they start to brown. Add the almonds. Stir until they are golden. Add the raisins. Stir until they are plump, just a few seconds. Add the drained rice and salt. Stir very gently to mix. Add 2 2/3 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover tightly, turn heat to very, very low, and simmer gently for 25 minutes.

Alphabet Letter C Crab
Preschool Lesson Plan Printable Activities and Worksheets
Alphabet >
Letter C > C is
for Crab
Animals > Ocean | Seashore > Crab
Holidays and Events >
Here are printable materials and some
suggestions to present letter C.
1. Animals > Ocean | Seashore > Crab
Visit the crab theme lesson plan activities for animal facts, online learning resources, crafts and other activities to incorporate with this alphabet presentation.
2. Alphabet Activity > Letter C is for Crab
Present the letter C crab six-piece online jigsaw puzzle to practice problem solving and view letter C in upper and lower case. Adjust number or pieces using the Change Cut button on the left.
Present and display this color poster of a crab and your option of letter C printable activities in the materials column.
Children Age 3 and under:
* Print a letter C coloring page in standard block or D'Nealian font and a crab coloring page behind it or on a separate page if using finger paints to decorate later. Discuss other letter C words found on the worksheet.
* Finger Tracing:
Trace letter C's in upper and lower case with your finger as you also sound out the letter. Invite the children to do the same on their coloring page.
* Children can trace and color the letter C's. After completing coloring the letter, encourage children to color the crab coloring page and write letter C c and the word crab on the margins.
Children Ages 3+ to 6:
Alphabet - beginning letter C (hard C like K)
1. Present the Letter C Activity Worksheet and Mini Book program. Read suggested instructions for using the worksheet and mini-book.
Letter C words: The worksheet and matching mini-book can be used as part of a Letter C program of activities to reinforce letter recognition, initial handwriting practice and to identify related C words.
Discuss other letter C words (long e sound) and images (refer to activity worksheet above): First 'brainstorm' and ask the children about other words that have that beginning sound and write them on a board (dry erase board) as the children come up with examples. You can print letter C in a different bright color to make it stand out. If you have illustrated alphabet books you can also use images in them. You can also display letter C posters and coloring pages or make a letter C classroom book. For related images visit: Letter C Printable Materials.
*Finger and Pencil Tracing:
*Trace letter C's in upper and lower case with your finger as you also sound out the letter. Invite the children to do the same on your worksheet. Encourage the children to trace the dotted letter with your choice of sharpened crayon, fine tip marker, coloring or regular pencil and explain the direction of the arrows and numbers (on the upper right corner) that help them trace the letter correctly. During the demonstration, you may want to count out loud as you trace so children become aware of how the number order aids them in the writing process.
*Find the letter C's: Have the children find all the letter C's in upper and lower case on the page and encourage them to circle them first. Visit each child to make sure they have identified the letter C's and then discuss the locations with the poster and worksheet.
Advanced independent handwriting practice:
1. Print your choice of printable lined-paper and encourage children to draw a crab behind the page or print a crab coloring page.
2. Drawing and writing paper Encourage children to draw, color and decorate a crab and write letter C c. Share some images of a real crab to inspire the children.
Letter C Word Search & Handwriting Practice
An eight word search game features the crab and letter C words with pictures and handwriting practice.

Made to the same high standards as all of our furniture, each one of our upholstery frames is built to last.
Kiln-dried, engineered hardwood
We use kiln-dried, engineered hardwood in all of our upholstery frames. Often used for structural beams, engineered hardwood is made by pressing thin layers of solid wood together. Kiln-drying removes moisture, minimizing seasonal expansion and contraction. This stable hardwood material resists warping and cracking for lasting durability.
Reinforced joinery
We reinforce every joint in our frames for added stability. Precision-cut parts interlock like puzzle pieces and are reinforced with eco-friendly glues, screws or staples and corner blocks. Reinforced joinery ensures your seating holds together, even with years of frequent use.
Sinuous coil
A sinuous coil suspension consists of s-shaped metal springs that are stretched across the frame. The coils are securely attached with clips that allow the metal to flex while still remaining supportive. Because each coil is independently attached to the frame, you'll barely feel it when someone sits down next to you.

WASHINGTON — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said yesterday it was fining General Motors $7,000 a day for missing a Thursday deadline to respond to its request for information about the automaker's recall of 2.6 million cars for defective ignition switches.
In a letter to GM, the NHTSA said the automaker had so far been fined $28,000 and would be subject to additional daily fines until it answers all 107 questions the agency asked as part of its investigation into why the automaker waited until February to order a recall despite first learning of the defect more than 10 years ago.
At least 13 deaths have been linked to the faulty ignition switches, which can cause the engine to turn off suddenly, disabling the air bags and making steering and braking more difficult.
GM said in a statement it had "fully cooperated" with the NHTSA. The automaker said it had sent more than 271,000 pages of documents to the agency and would provide additional documents "as soon as they become available."
The automaker had not responded to over a third of the NHTSA's questions by the Thursday deadline, the agency said. The 17 pages of questions were submitted to GM on March 4.
The NHTSA said GM had informed the agency on March 20 that it would not be able to respond to all the technical engineering questions by the deadline.
The "NHTSA had no objection to GM taking additional time to respond to technical engineering questions, with the understanding that GM would fully respond to the remaining requests by the April 3 deadline. GM failed to do so," NHTSA Chief Counsel O. Kevin Vincent said in the letter.
The NHTSA said GM also told the agency it was not able to respond fully because of a probe into the recall by former federal prosecutor Anton Valukas, who has been hired by GM.
Vincent said if GM did not fully respond to the NHTSA's questions "immediately and pay all civil penalties," the agency might refer the matter to the Justice Department.

Ciao Tiago Abbiamo trascorso una settimana fantastica in Lisbona, l'appartamento era perfetto e abbiamo avuto un'accoglienza molto calorosa da Carla. Possiamo solo consigliare l'appartamento, che è anche nel centro di Lisbona. Carsten Kristoffersen
Hello Tiago
We had a fantastic week in Lissabon, the flat was perfect and we had a very warm welcome by Carla. We can only recommend the flat, which is also in the Centre of Lisbon.
Carsten Kristoffersen
Ottima posizione, vista perfetta, gente! Assoluto must per Lisbona!
Great spot, perfect view, friendly people! Absolute must for Lissabon!
We had a wonderful time in this little appartement in Lisboa! Everything was clean and cozy! The appartement is directly in the Barrio Alto so we could do everything by foot. We also cooked two times in the kitchen and had super nice evenings in the appartement with the two little "balconys"! We can definitely recommend this place!
Clara, Lena, Theresa, Laura
The Apartment is prefectly located, clean and has everything you Need. Filipe and his Team Are very friendly and helpfull. He also allowed us to Check out two Hours later, which was very kind. I highly recommend the Stay there.
We spent some days in the studio and really enjoyed the nice view of the kitchen-window. It is no worth cooking in the apartment as going out for lunch is really cheap and the kitchen is just equipped to prepare a quick sandwich or pasta, not a hole meal. Clean bathroom and rooms, only the bed is, in my opinion, very uncomfortable and not like written "getting out of the bed will be difficult" in a positive sense. Communication with the host was very easy, friendly and cooperative!!
For the last days we had to move to another apartment as they started with some demolition works next door. But this may occur at any place and WIMDU really did a good job to solve this problem. Thanks a lot for this!
We felt like beeing at home with our two children (14, 15) in Graca flat. It was nice, clean, all functioning kitchen and bathroom, good view from 4.th floor and little balcony with river view in large distant but real lisboa atmosphere, we can recommend it to other familys, also for 6 persons. Internet was little bit slow and in tv there were some english channels. The communication with housekeeper was great!! We would come again!
Nice apartment and very friendly and helpful hosts. Only we were missing a wardrobe or some shelfs to store our cloths. The area was perfect to start exploring Lisbon. At night a bit loud.
nice location, everything was fine. thanks to some frensh party people was noisy that days. bathroom is very small and on suite!! was clean but somehow very used. maybe you like to bring your own pillow.
It is a spacious, clean and well located (short walk to Bairro Alto, Viewpoint, Rossio, etc.) ikea flat. Marisa estimated our arrival time pretty right, so the check-in went smoothly and on top we got a lot of good advice what to do, see and how to get around! :) If you plan on cooking in the flat you might bring your own salt and pepper from home, if you don't want to buy it. All the kitchen supplies are available but there is nothing like salt, tea or coffee.
The bed is comfortable. Not sure about the couch, if you are more than tweo people, but it will work for a few days I guess. If you have a light sleep you better bring earplugs (it's a quiet neighbourhood and not loud at all, but if there's noise outside you can hear it).
I can definitely recommend the flat as homebase for a short trip to Lisbon and the Short Stay Flat team and service is wonderful! :)
The apartment is on the 2nd floor and located well where the restaurants as well as best ice cream parlour is. You need to be relatively fit to stay in this neighbourhood as there are a lot of steep gradients!
The apartment itself is ok we paid around £50 a night and for this price I was expecting more. The kitchen itself looks very nice however it was not well equipped with basic items such as bowls, salt and pepper, sugar not provided. This is a must as we had to then purchase from new even when staying just for three nights. The apartment bathroom needs toilet roll holder, there was some mould, also needs a place where you can place where you can put shampoo, soap etc. No toiletries are provided.
We did not manage to get the TV working but that was not the end of the world as we were on holiday - a message in portugese was mentioned on the screen which we couldn't understand and unfortunately was not fixed whilst on our stay. We were also charged 8 euros for the 3 nights and I have just realised now that it should have been 6 according to the description. A light was not working in the apartment as well.
Overall its an OK place to stay given the price maybe we have too much of a high expectation having stayed in 5 different countries with Wimdu. Some small improvements will go a big way.

Lifelines provides quality outdoor and experiential learning opportunities to help students grow personally, professionally and spiritually. Lifelines experiences are life changing and gives participant's valuable tools needed for life.
Have you ever been lost? Unable to finds your way, bewildered as to place and direction. This describes a majority of people today and often defines college students. Internally we know we need a guide. Not someone to tell us where to go but someone who will listen, ask good questions and help us explore the next steps. We also know that some of the most important lessons we need to learn will only come through experiences that impact our heart not just our head.
Lifelines uses the outdoor experience in order to help students grow in relationship with God, in relationship with each other, in character and leadership. Lifelines staff act as spiritual guides who work to find out where students are at and help point the way to a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
The outdoors is a neutral meeting ground and a great place for students to see God in all that he as made. Psalms 19:1,2 tells us, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge."
Lifelines resource teams are set up to be teams of experts that can help resource the larger ministry of Cru, formally know as Campus Crusade for Christ. These resource teams are set up with the ability to travel to different campus to minister or bring students to there location where they are surrounded by outdoor resources. One of the things Lifelines does best is to help open doors to different groups on campus for Cru staff to minister to. It is hard to turn down a free trip white-water rafting or rock climbing. Through a whole day of experiences relationships are formed that spiritual journey's often started.
Another area of focus is to provide leadership development for the ministry of Cru. Lifelines will be involved in training campus directors, helping STINT (short term international trips) leaders understand how to facilitate groups and deal with team conflict.
We believe full spectrum of ministry includes wilderness experiences and process learning. This type of ministry was used often by Jesus himself with his disciples. These Lifelines resource teams will help give students from cities like Boston to those in your back yard the opportunity to experience God and learn from life.

Do you like paranormal romance? Did you at one point enjoy Anita Blake? Well, My Wicked Enemy just pwned Anita Blake, but don't take my word for it see for yourself! I read this in a day, I couldn't put it down!
Our heroine is a terrified (rightly so) woman who experiences intense migraines. She's seen something she shouldn't (a ritual sacrifice) and it on the run from her guardian (the bad guy). Carson took nothing with her, and that includes her medicine, in hopes to escape. Being in a hurry might seem like a disadvantage now, with a pulsing multi-colored migraine rearing its ugly head and a man who's stalking her through the streets, but it will in fact be a blessing in disguise.
Nikodemus is a warlord, a fiend with natural leadership, and he is the one stalking the pretty and petite Carson Philips through the streets. Killing her is on his to-do list, just below mage Magellan. He can't believe how easy it is to track the witch. Her magic is fluctuating all over the place. One minute it's there and the next it's almost as if she were a human. When he corners her, Nikodemus asks just one question, "Why shouldn't I kill you?"
The answer leads them through a dangerous adventure that spins out of control as they face mageheld fiends, evil mages, skitterish warlords, blood twins and more! The book starts out like it ends, by taking your breath away.
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Marked interracial because the heroine is a witch and the hero is a fiend.

My question is dont most people not have their passes yet? because i bought weekend one back in june..should i be expecting my tickets soonish?
All festival passes, camping decals, and shuttle and parking passes will be shipped out in March 2012. Signature will be required – please keep that in mind when entering your shipping address. We will not ship to P.O. Boxes.
ahhh thought i read that somewhere thank you
Also, let it be known that although the buyer pays immediately, sellers on Stubhub don't get paid until buyer receipt of tickets / passes. This helps deter the collect and run fraudsters.
schazzlewaffle, where are you getting those stubhub sales charts from? You in the business or something? I've sold on stubhub before and had access to what the selling prices were going at as a seller when my listing was active and still for sale, but never noticed any fancy charts.
I list a few of my Lakers tix on there every now and then. When you post anything, they show you recent Sales, all current listings, and price alerts that buyers have set. Pretend like you are going to sell Coachella passes, get to the set your price screen, copy into Excel, Pivot Chart, done.
Who even knows what GA camping means, lol.

prices are completely cratering on ebay. I just saw a festival pass w/shuttle and car camping sell for less than $550. sounds like a pretty fair deal. taking fees into account the seller probably didn't make much if any money. Now may be the time to pounce
-those with wristbands on the wrong arm
-those who tied their wristband too loosely
-or that they would tug at them while scanning to make sure they were not re-applied.
To the best of my knowledge none of the above were denied entry. After Saturday, scalpers were buying wristbands for $50 to scalp only for Sunday's performance. They'd cut the pass with scissors. I don't think i had anyone even touch my wristband now that I think about it.
I also remember the Led Zeppelin 2007 reunion one-off show to claim that they would check all cards against IDs. Total poker bluff since people from 40-50 countries were attending. That show was in an AEG owned building, but I can't tell if they were directly involved with that particular rule.
I clasped my wristband a little loose and I tied it with a rubber band, it was pretty noticeable, only one security questioned me and I told him it wasn't tight enough, he let me through. Another bluff they told was getting scanned everytime you exit the fest, if you waited until after whoever closed the Coachella stage they didn't scan at all. Not being able to get within a mile of a festival without a wristband was also a bunch of bull from what I hear throughout the weekend last year.
I actually saw a few people get denied because they didn't have their wristbands on. And I saw quite a few people standing in the "fix my wristband line" because they were getting sent over by security.
Fix my wristband line looked miserable
Two of my friends had wristbands clasps malfunction on Thursday night. The locking system just popped open. One of my friends went to the "fix my wristband" line right away and got it resolved. The other tied the wristband and went two days before security finally told him to get it fixed. Every time I went through security they pulled on my wristband to test for fraud. I guess it is really a game of chance, but they were trying to enforce the rules. I imagine it was a clusterfuck to do so, though.
Buying from a 3rd party for a wristband they don't even physically have until March sounds a little unnerving. I guess most transactions go smoothly but I'd rather wait until March when they have them. If there's a flaw to that logic let me know.
As it happened, I was thinking "F@&$! Half my day is now shot running around to solve this." But I was in an out of the Tennis Gardens in 10 minutes. Fortunately, I had all my documentation in order...
Today's lesson: Dont buy on Fridays (payday), as today's sales prices increased from yesterday for both weekends for the first time since last Friday.
Hold out. My girlfriend bought a ticket last year off of facebook.
If you check the page, every so often someone posts, "i can't go, selling my ticket." Well, she jumped on it and became friends with that person. She sold her the ticket for face value. Safe way to do it because you have their facebook info at least. Sure, someone could make up a profile, but i think you would be able to tell. Anyway, it's kind of a long shot but i'd go this route if i had no ticket.
Trending down again. Weekend 2 pricing similar to weekend 1 now.
Thanks for keeping track of pricing. Much appreciated.
For what it's worth, I just scored a ticket for a friend off of eBay for only $485. Prices are dropping

UAE. Majid Al Futtaim Holding LLC, the leading shopping mall, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East and North Africa, released today its trading results for the full year ended 31 December 2011, announcing the best performance of its business operations since the group was founded in 1992.
The company's revenues reached AED 18.7 billion, a 10% increase on 2010, at the same time its EBITDA from recurring operations grew by 18% year-on-year to reach over AED 2.7 billion.
Majid Al Futtaim Holding continues to maintain a strong balance sheet with total assets valued at over AED 35 billion and a net debt of around AED 7.5 billion. An investment-grade rating of BBB was assigned by both Standard and Poor's and Fitch Ratings, which is the highest credit rating assigned to any privately held corporate in the Middle East.
Commenting on the company's performance, Iyad Malas, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Holding, said: "2011 was another outstanding year for us. Diversification across business segments and geographies has been a key driver in ensuring strong operating performance. In particular, strong performance in Dubai helped to offset any softness resulting from regional turmoil. As we have continued to expand and develop our business, we have taken steps to ensure that we have a corporate governance framework commensurate with the strength and scale of our business. To that end, we have adopted the principles of the United Kingdom's Combined Code of corporate governance and continue to ascribe to international best practice reporting."
Business Units' Performance
Majid Al Futtaim Holding's strong performance in 2011 was driven by the robust operations of all of its three business units.
Majid Al Futtaim Properties, the leading MENA region developer, owner and manager of shopping malls and developer and investor of hotels and mixed-use developments, saw its revenue increase by a strong 21% to AED2.8 billion and EBITDA rise by around 19% to AED 1.7 billion, contributing about 62% of the group's EBITDA. The company's malls hosted over 130 million visitors throughout the period.
Majid Al Futtaim Retail, the business unit which holds an exclusive 75% interest in and operates the Carrefour franchise across the MENA region also saw a significant rise in sales during 2011, with revenues rising to AED 15.2 billion. The business' EBITDA rose by 20% to AED 927 million and contributed 34% of the group's EBITDA.
In 2011, Majid Al Futtaim Retail opened 7 new hypermarkets and 12 supermarkets, expanding its portfolio to 43 hypermarkets and 35 supermarkets in 11 countries across the Middle East and North Africa.
Majid Al Futtaim Ventures, which is responsible for developing new businesses that complement and reinforce the Holding's leadership in its core businesses, also achieved positive operational growth contributing a revenue of AED 1 billion, with an EBITDA of AED 168 million.
Growth Plans
Supported by its resilient assets, strong balance sheet and stable access to funding, Majid Al Futtaim Holding has embarked on a solid long-term growth plan that includes expansion in both existing and new markets.
"We continue to focus on a prudent and sustainable growth strategy, which has built us a reputation for being a reliable developer and partner that can deliver projects on time and within budget. Within the coming 12 months we will complete the construction of two shopping malls (Fujairah City Centre, UAE and Beirut City Centre, Lebanon), and expect to start construction in Cairo at our Mall of Egypt Project. We will also progress our strong development pipeline of new shopping malls. In addition, Majid Al Futtaim Retail expects to open around 15 new Carrefour hypermarkets and approximately 25 to 30 new supermarkets in 2012" Mr. Malas commented.
Majid Al Futtaim Holding has established a very strong financial position to support its existing businesses as well as its dynamic expansion plans.
In 2011, Majid Al Futtaim Holding established a USD 2 billion Reg S EMTN programme, which was filed with the London Stock Exchange in June 2011. The company also set up a US$1 billion Sukuk programme in early January 2012.
"We are constantly looking into options to diversify our sources of long-term funding," Mr Malas said. "Having set up the EMTN and Sukuk programmes, we can now wait for the right market conditions and choose whether to issue a sukuk or a conventional bond. The company has a strong liquidity position to amply cover its needs for at least the next 18 months, and is under no pressure to do any issuance before the conditions are favourable to do so," he added.
In July 2011, Majid Al Futtaim Holding raised USD 1 billion from a group of banks. The facility was mainly used for early refinancing of a USD 1 billion loan maturing in July 2012 as well as to further strengthen the company's liquidity position.

Where are you comfortable? Have you built up a routine that you don't deviate from? Do you ever get the feeling that your feeling of comfort comes at a cost? It does. The comfort that you once sought, and have now obtained, could be the main reason you are not as far along as you'd hope for.
Most articles begin with an assumed problem to solve, which is a bit presumptuous, but this concept is fairly immune from being too presumptuous because it is so ubiquitous. So many of us have given in to some routine comforts that we would now have a struggle giving up. This is not so much about comforts like air-conditioning in the summer, but is more about those such as eating extra every day to forget about problems, or almost needing a certain new episode of a show on TV to make up for another uneventful day.
This also includes having a social comfort zone, where you resort to spending time with people who don't empower you much, and who you mainly just stick around to not feel lonely, or something of that nature. This type of comfort zone is a crutch that has no long-term value. The things that are a struggle to you now are things you won't regret later, while the things that you do for temporary comfort today are the things that you will be disappointed about later.
Why Is Your Comfort Zone Unproductive?
Your comfort zone is unproductive because you feel less risk in it. It shields you from reality in some regards. Your comfort zone might involve being with certain races of people or certain language-speaking people you prefer over others, but those other races of people are still all over the place. Therefore, staying in that comfort zone makes you start to fear interactions with those outside of it, which leads to reduced self-esteem due to worry of public relations with the "other people", leading to less drive toward your goals.
Any sort of comfort zone based on a weakness or general desire to postpone adaptation is one that makes your goals harder to achieve. You have numerous daily opportunities to go outside of this zone, and all you need to do is take a couple of them every so often. This will keep you from building up aversion to one risk or another. A comfort zone you are in for a day is not a problem, but one you are in for half a year could be having drastic effects on your productivity.

It's finally setting in: Trump is Trump and he's not going to change because of winning the nomination.
Democracy in America is under attack. Politicians in dozens of states are turning back the clock by denying the vote to their own citizens.
Photo ID requirements, shortened early voting periods, limits on poll worker assistance, proof of citizenship requirements, restrictions on same day registration and disenfranchisement of former felons — all disproportionately deny voting rights to people of color, people with disabilities, students, low-income workers and seniors.
Proponents of voter ID laws claim that voter fraud is commonplace, yet multiple studies have shown that the problem is essentially nonexistent. And anecdotal evidence held up by these politicians is consistently debunked as myth.
Voter identification is a convenient euphemism for voter suppression. A full 11 percent of voters currently do not have ID. Most of them are seniors, people of color, people with disabilities, the poor and students. In fact, about one out of five nonwhite citizens and citizens over age 64 do not have government-issued ID. This is not about reducing fraud but part of a coordinated campaign of subtle intimidation intended to suppress the political will and empowerment of millions of Americans.
Election reform is desperately needed, but instead of restricting the right to vote, we should be expanding it by implementing a modern and accessible system for holding elections.
There are more than 30 million Americans with disabilities of voting age, yet the Federal Election Commission reports that there are more than 20,000 inaccessible polling places. Some are located in basements or buildings without ramps, and others only offer machines that are outdated and unworkable for a person who is blind, deaf, or physically impaired. Too many citizens with disabilities can only cast their vote curbside, or are denied the right to a secret ballot when they have to speak their vote out loud for someone else to mark down. If impediments were removed and people with disabilities began voting in the same proportion as other Americans, fully 3.2 million more people would be casting ballots.
It is the duty of our policymakers to remove the barriers to participation for all citizens, including those with disabilities. Modernizing the system with automated registration, online access to records, and accessible voting machines would allow more than 65 million eligible Americans to participate. Investing in a uniform, simplified process for voters would eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic processes, save states money and save election officials time. Right now, state legislators are instead committed to doing the opposite.
Requiring photo ID and imposing other restrictions on the right to vote will not strengthen our democracy. It will only serve to exclude many American from participating in the important decisions that face us all as we work to create an America that is as good as its ideals.

The issue isn't winter—it's that we all have a home.
The new head of the Environmental Protection has a history of suing the agency for trying to do its job.
By Wendell Berry
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.
Wendell Berry is a poet, farmer, and environmentalist in Kentucky. This poem, first published in 1973, is reprinted by permission of the author and appears in his "New Collected Poems" (Counterpoint).

Cliff/Tim Horn/others who may know--Tim's presentation on Skype?
(1/3) > >>
Cliff or others who know:Could Tim Horn's presentation be viewable to members not in Montreal via Skype?If someone brings their computer and we have a video camera, if the hotel has WIFI, could all of that be set up so that it's viewable on a Skype conference call?Is something like this even doable? Dumb idea?RAB(Who is computer illiterate.)
The Canuck:
RAB,This is certainly doable. I'm not familiar with those type of set ups but would think there are better options software wise for this than Spyke.The Canuck(Who won't set it up though)
If I'm not mistaken, Skype is a bit limited. In theory, all we would need is someone's laptop, with a camera, but Skype only allows for the host, and four additional participants.(for a conference call)However, another recording platform would work. Maybe something like YouTube. Record the conference, then upload it for viewing, but again there is the problem of length.I'm not very well versed in such manners, but I'll bet that Bailey might know how to do this.
I can upload up to 100mb per video on youtube with no time limit since i have director status there.It wouldn't be an instant viewing thing, but it's possible to get it posted quickly, however, I won't have a computer up there to work with., though anyone who does, can edit the video to compress it and then shoot it to my youtube account.
Skype might be difficult to do, just because of what Lisa said (the limitations of the number of participants). But Dingo's idea sounds good, (or maybe even Poz would be interested in posting it on their website). We would need someone who has a digital camcorder, but I would be surprised if someone didn't bring one. The quality may not be fantastic as compared to a professional production, but it would definitely be doable.Good idea!

Spain adopts energy saving measures to combat oil price hike
Spain announced Friday a series of energy saving measures, including a lower speed limit and cuts to train ticket prices, in response to the rise in world oil prices due to unrest in the Middle East.
"The goal is to reduce the consumption of oil and gas to reduce our energy bill which has risen in recent days and which we do not forecast will drop," Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba told a news conference.
Spain is one of the European Union states most dependent on fossil fuels for its energy needs and the spike in oil prices has added to pressures on inflation and the country's trade deficit.
Under the measures which will come into effect on March 7, the speed limit on Spain's highways will be reduced to 110 kilometres (68 miles) per hour from 120 kph.

China pollution 'threatens growth'
Shirong Chen, BBC Online
The man in charge of protecting China's environment has warned that pollution and the demand for resources threaten to choke economic growth...
His comments came ahead of China's annual session of parliament, which opens on 5 March...
Mr Zhou's comments came in an essay posted on the website on the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
"In China's thousands of years of civilisation, the conflict between humanity and nature has never been as serious as it is today," he wrote.
"The depletion, deterioration and exhaustion of resources and the deterioration of the environment have become serious bottlenecks constraining economic and social development."
China, he said, would suffer unless issues of air and water pollution were prioritised.
He suggested that his ministry should take on a greater role in tackling greenhouse gas emissions and that new development projects be assessed for their impact on climate change.

Denmark Targets Fossil-Fuel Independence Through Wind, Biogas
Christian Wienberg, Bloomberg
Denmark's government presented a plan to invest in renewable energy including wind power and biogas as the country seeks independence from oil, gas and coal by 2050.
By 2020, Denmark will more than double its wind power capacity to 42 percent of total energy production, the Copenhagen-based environment ministry said today in an e-mail. The Nordic country also wants to cut energy consumption by 6 percent by that year.
The government will provide subsidies for biogas production, increase bio-based additives to fuel, promote new land-based wind turbines and expand existing offshore ones. It also wants to increase efficiency requirements for energy producers. Both homeowners and companies will pay more for electricity and heating, the ministry said, adding that it doesn't expect the measures will hurt the country's competitiveness.

Cook Medical Scraps Expansion Plans Over ObamaCare Medical Tax
The Democrats who wrote, passed, and support the "American Care Act" probably thought that companies would just roll over and willingly pay a higher tax rate for their medical devices. Alas, the Real World has intruded on the Dem fantasies of collecting more tax money to spread around to their campaign contributors and voters
(Fox News) An Indiana-based medical equipment manufacturer says it's scrapping plans to open five new plants in the coming years because of a looming tax tied to President Obama's health care overhaul law.
Cook Medical claims the tax on medical devices, set to take effect next year, will cost the company roughly $20 million a year, cutting into money that would otherwise go toward expanding into new facilities over the next five years.
"This is the equivalent of about a plant a year that we're not going to be able to build," a company spokesman told FoxNews.com.
He said the original plan was to build factories in "hard-pressed" Midwestern communities, each employing up to 300 people. But those factories cost roughly the same amount as the projected cost of the new tax.
"In reality, we're not looking at the U.S. to build factories anymore as long as this tax is in place. We can't, to be competitive," he said.
Surprise! Who could imagine that increasing taxes could cause a company to change its behavior rather than rolling over in docility? Liberals might say that a 2.3% tax on medical devices isn't a big deal, but when that increases costs on a company by $20 million dollars, which is real money when you get outside the Washington, D.C. bubble, things have to be changed. And that cost also tends to be passed on to the consumer, who might think twice about making the purchase, and go with that product that was made in another country and is not subject to the tax.
But the Cook Medical spokesman said the impact is greater than just a 2.3 percent uptick in taxes. He said the impact on actual earnings is another 15 percent, and he projected the company's total tax burden next year will rise to over 50 percent.
Wouldn't it make more sense to decrease taxes, meaning people would purchase that product in greater numbers, a product made in America by (hopefully) American workers, so that the company can make more money, which means more tax money is paid to the state and local governments through sales tax and, because earnings are greater, more income tax to the state and federal governments? In Liberal World, they'd just prefer the money goes straight to the federal coffers, and damned the consequences.
And let's not forget that with more sales, there would be a need for more production, so the companies would expand, people would work. Oh, and it means people would pay less for the medical devices they need, devices that may just be better quality than those imported.

Global organizations are at the frontier of the language phenomenon with English having securely claimed the lingua franca (common language) position in international business for nearly three decades. How firms manage the English language stipulation and how employees experience and respond the English language stipulation, but especially in one e-commerce high tech giant, Rakuten, is the subject of this talk. An in-depth and longitudinal study of Rakuten's English language mandate provides the context for illuminating the ways in which language can shape the globalization process of a workforce both linguistically and culturally.

Discuss the benefits and tradeoffs of navigating a career as a double minority with leaders who identify as both African-American and LGBT. This panel will focus on the business solution needed to address the challenge of African-American professionals who feel the pressure to cover and assimilate fluidly in corporate environments.
Saturday, February 6, 2016, 10:45am - 11:45am
Determine what role media personalities and executives have in shaping the perception of African-Americans and explore the role that the media plays in constructing what it means to be "African-American." The portrayal of African-Americans in the media either reduces or re-enforces stereotypes and biases, which has an impact on employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.
Saturday, February 6, 2016, 1:30pm - 2:30pm
Explore the growth of African-Americans in Hedge Fund, Private Equity, and Real Estate fund management with the Founders/CEOs of leading alternative investment organizations.
Saturday, February 6, 2016, 1:30pm - 2:30pm
African-American executives and entrepreneurs in beauty, fashion, retail, and advertising/marketing today are affected by what is arguably a higher competitive bar. People used to launch and run businesses based on a good idea, gut instinct, creativity, and hard work. In the current marketplace, however, two key factors have changed the game: one, low barrier to entry has created lots of competitive noise—and two, data-driven marketing puts creative entrepreneurs at risk of being outsmarted and outspent by expensive algorithms and established brands. Can African-American entrepreneurs and executives still win by operating on the classic principles of their pioneering predecessors? Or are the former tenets of profitable business (a great idea, focused execution, and hard work) now no longer enough? If a comprehensive strategy, real capital, and access to top talent are now mandatory requirements for success from the start, where does that leave emerging African-American business stars?
Saturday, February 6, 2016, 2:45pm - 3:45pm
With more unicorns (startups valued at $1 billion or more) today than ever before, value is being created in new markets where it is vital that African-Americans take part or risk being left behind. Here, we'll focus on the unique challenges that African-American entrepreneurs face and how to develop the untapped creativity and talent of a community that continues to shape American culture.
Saturday, February 6, 2016, 2:45pm - 3:45pm
With what seems to be an endless stream of un-prosecuted incidences of police brutality directed towards young African-Americans and the commercialization of incarceration with the growing market of private prisons, this panel will focus on what the business community must do in response.
Friday, February 5, 2016, 6:30pm EST
The Black Business Showcase Reception will be a display of African American Entrepreneurship resulting in job and wealth creation. We believe HBS should be the center for African American Capitalism in the United States and what better way to display this then to highlight the individuals who are actively disrupting industries or creating value through entrepreneurship. We have selected early stage and growth stage companies across the country who represent this year's conference theme of Transcend: Redefining Expectations.
Join us after the opening keynote as we create a classy yet jazzy environment where individuals can mingle and get to know the entrepreneurs as they connect with new and old friends.
Event is included with general conference ticket. The reception will include:

The Social Club, a barbershop that impacts community and the natural environment with a single location in Detroit, has created a concept that goes well beyond haircuts, shaves. By cultivating a voice and destinations; The Social Club has been able to expand into all realms of the modern gentleman: Fashion, Music, Lifestyle, Grooming and others. At The Social Club, we follow these traditions and create new ones, all in the name of rebuilding a great American community.
The Social Club is committed to offering a hassle-free, yet high quality experience, without the pretensions of a salon. We represent the traditions of the barbershop culture and our expertly trained personal groomers provide classic men's cuts and straight-razor shaves to a discerning clientele.
My first three business plans‑were rejected by Wayne State University, which is where I was determined to establish my first Social Club. In 2012, my wife and I, Gabrielle eventually succeeded in opening the Social Club Grooming Company, built with reclaimed lumber from blighted Detroit homes, on WSU's main campus. We've partnered with a local park to build a greener city and already, clippings of cut hair have been used as fertilizer for 200 new trees. I take pride in the diversity of both my staff and clientele. The barbershop has historically served as a community hub, and I plan to recreate that experience for all Social Club members, while disrupting the industry. Meet my team, who is just as passionate as I am about this opportunity.

AikiWeb News: Sensei/Shihan as Teacher in Japanese by Peter Goldsbury

I think Jun's initial error was probably confusing shihan with hanshi. It's a well-known misconception in general MA circles that shihan is the reverse of hanshi. Hanshi, I believe, acually contains the characters for "example" that Jun had in mind. Hanshi is the highest title issued by the ZNKR (and other organizations), preceded by kyoshi and renshi. Kyoshi was discussed in the article as a general translation of "teacher." I would guess that renshi is based on the character for "train" as discussed in example 19.
Personally, I would also have enjoyed a discussion of the traditional koryu teaching licenses, though I realize that this is outside the scope of Aikido terminology. The only one I noticed was kyoju, which forms the first part of kyoju dairi, the teaching license that M. Ueshiba received in Daito Ryu.
As far as the article's subject of Japanese terminology for martial arts instruction, I found it interesting that none of the words listed as meaning "educate" were used in the Aikido but that many of those from the "teach" and "instruct" meanings were. If we look at the English definitions of these words, we find that "educate" and "instruct" both come from Latin roots, but that the former means to "train, bring up, or rear" and the latter means to "build, prepare, or equip." "Teach" has roots and parallels in Anglo-Saxon, English, Greek and Latin and means "to show, point out, direct, indicate, or guide."
"Train" literally means to "drag or pull along behind" and therefore I try to avoid using it when referring to Aikido practice. It's difficult to always do so, though, since that word is by far the most commonly used one in English. It is also vaguely suggestive of Behaviorism and animal training. I like to think that the study of Aikido is above that. In lieu of "train," I prefer "practice," which means "systematic exercise for the purpose of acquiring skill and proficiency." To me, "practice" better connotates the student actively learning instead of passively following like a well-trained dog.
Since the Japanese do not use any terms meaning "educate" in Aikido, it might be the case that they also prefer not to think of the teaching of Aikido as "training" but instead as "preparing, equiping, pointing out and guiding."
