my skills start with my Ear I take on board what the cliant needs are show them the best of the item they have an interest in eg : New Bath Taps,Take Disk Taps they may cost you more to buy the Disk taps will save you money long term. Ideal if you are on a water meter.every drip will put money in the water boards pocket.this is only a small Example of the products cliants get wrong when they would like work carried out. Even buying a Kettle forget the price look at how much Energy you use to Boil the Kettle.

I got the idea from my aunt when ever I would go to visit her she would moan about all the jobs that were stacking up at her house from hanging a mirror to putting down laminate leaking tap to loose shelf's. so I made her write a list of all the problems she had around the house I then gave her a price & did the repairs my aunt now complains she has nothing to complain about. so i now like to tell my Clients to make a list of all the Jobs that need doing from the door hanging off to the loose gate then give me a call I will then come over do all the work for them. End of list. simply CALL me or TX me or Mail me. And I will Do the rest for you

COLUMN: An 8-game football season hurts schools, but not IHSAA
In 2008 the Iowa High School Athletic Association's board of control made a polarizing decision when it opted to expand the football playoffs from 16 to 32 teams in each of the six classes.
Proponents of the shift argued the old system unfairly penalized deserving teams that, by the luck of the draw, got stuck in difficult districts and finished outside of the top two. Those in opposition stuck to the claim that adding teams – a total of four per district, to be exact – to the postseason would do nothing but water down what was already a strong playoffs system. If it's not broke, don't fix it, that kind of thing.
Optimists said the IHSAA was only trying to increase the opportunities for hundreds of kids from Keokuk to Rock Valley. Cynics channeled their inner Rod Tidwell – Show me the money! – and said the additional playoff round was nothing more than a financial windfall for the association.
And now the IHSAA has made it publicly known that it is thinking about making another dramatic change to the football landscape, and it all filters back to that watershed moment in 2008.
Later this week the IHSAA board of control will again meet and decide whether or not to reduce the regular season from nine to eight games. At the crux of the debate is player safety; since the expansion of the playoffs and the tight fall calendar in which the IHSAA abides by, the playoffs usually begin in late October and end the week before Thanksgiving. That pushes playoff qualifiers that keep winning to play as many as four games in 15 days and, well, that passed the border of ridiculous about one game ago.
Dropping one game from the regular season slate would allow the playoffs to begin a week earlier and eliminate the need to play so many games in so few days, or so the theory goes.
On the surface you could theorize the IHSAA is again only looking out for its student-athletes.
The argument could also be made the IHSAA is only looking out for itself.
Losing one regular season game would mean that schools would see the profits from one home game evaporate into thin air every other year. That may not sound too extreme, but if you've been paying attention to the financial dire straits of school districts around the state then you understand that every penny counts.
Webster City Athletic Director Bob Howard estimates that the loss of one non-district game – the gate receipts and concessions that come from that extra home game – could cost the Class 3A school as much as $7,000. Todd Coy, his contemporary at 1A South Hamilton, said that figure could be as little as $2,000 and as much as $6,000, depending on which game was sliced from the schedule.
For 4A programs, where attendance overflows for some rivalry games, the financial loss could exceed $10,000 or $15,000.
We're talking real money here; dollars that are used to buy protective equipment, uniforms and various other necessities for not only football, but a wide variety of sports programs. How do you think schools pay for baseball bats, tennis balls, soccer goals, etc.? Those sports don't bring in revenue, yet they survive because of the money football places on the table.
Perhaps better solutions are staring the IHSAA right in the face – scale back the playoffs or simply move the regular season up a week, to what has confusingly always been known as Week Zero.
Research shows that the expansion of the playoffs hasn't done a great deal to alter the finished product. In the six years since the move, No. 4 seeds are 15-248 all time, a winning percentage of .060. Only one No. 4 seed has ever won more than one postseason game – Pella actually reached the 3A state title game in 2009 – and most of the time those first-round games against No. 1 seeds are blowouts.
Since Class 4A in the western portion of the state went to the district format in 2012, No. 4 seeds are winless.
No. 3 seeds have fared better – 101-248 all time (.407) – with Dike-New Hartford making the 1A finals in 2010 and two others advancing to the semifinals. Still, only 16 teams have ever claimed more than one postseason victory.
Area schools Webster City, South Hamilton and Northeast Hamilton have all benefitted from the expanded playoffs in recent years and I get it – reaching the playoffs is a boon to school pride and prestige. But it's the big picture that is important.
According to the IHSAA, the thought of returning to the former playoff system isn't even up for discussion. It has many, myself included, wondering why?
Here comes Rod Tidwell again.
After some prodding, Howard said WCHS kept approximately $700 from the thousands of dollars in gate receipts from last fall's home playoff game against Grinnell. The remainder of the revenue – somewhere in the vicinity of 90 percent – went into the IHSAA coffers.
Is it possible the IHSAA isn't willing to trim the playoffs because it would cost the organization a significant chunk of change? Is this yet another example of the old saying, "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer?"
I can't answer those questions, but I think the IHSAA should give some answers before its board of control goes behind closed doors and does irreparable harm to our state's football programs.

one for me please : 41 orchard
posted on: Thursday, March 29, 2012
I've had a bit of a thing for clouds lately so I'm favouring the cloud name sticker with it's gentle blue tone (there's a choice of blue or white) but I also like the name plaque. Adding a plaque over each bed, especially when the beds are arranged side by side, would be a quick, fun way to personalise each child's little area. Oh the choices!
41 Orchard also have a range of nursery wall stickers in a variety of motifs including animals, transport and trees. Do you have wall stickers in your nursery? Do you think I should get matching name plaques or mix it up a little? What would you do? I'm all ears :)
9 comments:
Hi Bron, I am trying to make my two sons sleeping together but it's a bit challenging since one wakes the other. How do you deal with it? they sleep ok in the same room?ReplyDelete
LOVE this idea! I do have wall stickers in both girls rooms not their names, but "designs" i think they are such a nice touch.ReplyDelete
I cannot remember where I saw it (Rosie Pope's TV show?) but there is a room in NYC of two little girls sharing their room and they used name plaques for their respective spaces. Both different to reflect their personalities. It was gorgeous!!
I know R is still little and just forming her personality, but I am sure that you will find something great to represent the little sweetie that she is becoming and you know M's personality well!! Cannot wait to see what you pick!!
I'm dying for their "Fame Name" might have to get that for one of the girls rooms... BTW. I am thinking about totally switching up Ruby's room in August (when she gets her "big girl bed") I want white... taking away those pink walls and going white. If you have any good girlie rooms that are basic white send them to me or post them!! PLEASE!! xo
LOVE those name plaques above! They'd be super cute above each of their beds. It's funny, I've been admiring anything 'cloud' related you've posted lately as I'm going with clouds in Soph's nursery I'm in the middle of decorating. I got some cute cloud decals the other day and am slowly adding other bits and pieces... can't wait to see how you decorate your little one's space xxReplyDelete
LOVE their designs!ReplyDelete
Mariella -- we did a sleep program with the preschooler when he was 6 months old and he has been a heavy sleeper since then. When she cries (not very loudly, but loudly enough to wake me up) he doesn't wake up. And she doesn't wake up when we talk in low voices in the room, which is what we do when it's his story/bed time.ReplyDelete
Marla -- I will keep your white plans in mind!
I love personalized wall decals, particularly if they are sharing a space. That way they'll have a piece of the room that is just for them. I absolutely ADORE my 41 orchard J for my babe's room, and I can totally relate to not knowing which to choose from the site. I must have changed my mind 50 times before settling on the J with the birds. I don't think, however, that you need to get matching ones. Maybe different styles in complimentary colours?ReplyDelete
I have a jungle frieze around the walls and matching animal decals on the cupboard doors. It really makes the room.ReplyDelete
I think individual name plaques (non-matching) would be nice for your little ones; try to reflect their different personalities!

"Listen, Jay, Conan and I have children—all you have to take care of is cars. I mean, we have lives to lead here. You've got $800 million, for God's sakes—leave our shows alone."
Here is my take:
A few years ago, Craig Kilborne left the show that follows Letterman on CBS, and CBS behind the scenes went after Conan, prompting NBC (Never Believe Your Contract) to sign Conan to the deal where he gets the Tonight Show in 2009.
Come 2009, Jay decides he's not ready to retire so NBC decides to keep him happy and give him prime-time- that doesn't work out so well, so, weasels that they are, they ditch Conan. Oops! That didn't work so well either - Jay looks like an ass and loses his audience.

The return of Rodney Carney to the 76ers organization (More on that on Friday) means that Ed Stefanski's signed player roster for the 2009-10 Sixers now stands at thirteen players. That number is two below the maximum of fifteen players allowed by the NBA and one below the number of fourteen that Stefanski has mentioned he will carry on the Sixers roster this season.
Stefanski has said in the past that in September during Sixers training camp at St. Joe's University there will basically be a "tryout" for the final one or possibly two spots on the Sixers opening night roster.
With that in mind, we here at Philadunkia took the time to assemble a list of prospects and free agents we'd like to see invited to Sixers training camp in order to participate in the "tryout" process for the remaining opening or openings on the Sixers roster. Several of our suggestions may even be able to make positive contribution in this upcoming season.

How to keep your car running smoothly between maintenance appointments
Maintaining your cars service history ensures that the vehicle continues to run smoothly and holds its residual value. Car maintenance, however, is not just about fixing things when they go wrong and sending the car into the service department once a year. By maintaining a regular, simple maintenance schedule, you can minimize the work that your mechanic has to do. Here are some simple tips to help you keep your car running smoothly between maintenance appointments.
Look after your tires. The tires are a critical part of the car. They ensure that the handling is correct and that your car stays on the road. As such, it is important to ensure that they are in top condition. Check the tire pressure regularly against the manufacturers guidelines and adjust where necessary. Aim to check tire pressure at least monthly. Rotate the tires from the front to the back to ensure even wear and tear, too.
Clean and maintain the battery. The more miles that you drive, the more demands that you place on the engine and its components. The car battery is no exception. Battery posts and cables are subject to wear and corrosion, as deposits can build up on them. Take time to clean the battery, using a simple toothbrush to remove deposits. Battery fluids may also need checking and replenishing on an ongoing basis.
Check your windshield wipers. There are many parts of the car that you may take for granted until you need to rely on them. Your windshield wipers seem very simple and basic, but you rely on them to keep you safe when driving in rain. Check the washer blades for tears or cracks, and replace them as soon as they show any sign of wear and tear.
Check all your lights. Your headlights and taillights ensure that you can drive safely in the dark or during bad weather. They also help other drivers to see you on the road. A single missing bulb or blown fuse could spell disaster. Check all your lights as often as possible, and replace worn-out bulbs and fuses right away.
Top off washer fluids. The supply of windshield washer fluid ensures that you can quickly and easily remove any dirt or grime from the glass. Ensure that you regularly top off fluid levels. It is also important to ensure that you are able to use this fluid during cold weather, so add the right amount of antifreeze to the water.
Simple maintenance tasks like this can keep you safe on the road and can ensure that you do not make repair bills more costly. Take time to develop a simple maintenance routine, and you will quickly reap the benefits.Brought to you by: American Profile

We had à good stay at Coretta's Place.
It was situated near Manhattan and the Subway.
We had à wonderfull time at New York Shaun,
With the whole familly !
The appartment has a good location. Hancock street is very quiet and just a 10 minute walk from the nearest Subway. From there you are with the A expres line in about 20' in mid Manhattan. In the house itself we saw deferred maintenance. The main double bed was in such a condition that we put the matrass straight on the floor. Based on the positive reviews the appartment therefore was quite a surprise. The second twin bed in the smaller room was also in a bad shape. Instead of that we used the sofabed, which we moved to the kitchen! At first sight it all looked quite clean, but at a second look this was not the case, especially in the kitchen area (closets, oven, microwave). After all, we had a good week, due to our own adaptations and care.
The apartment is spacious and clean. Bathroom is a bit small but absolutely adequate. The bed in the second bedroom was a bit narrow for our 14-year-old twins so one of them slept on the sofa bed which was perfectly ok. Coretta was very nice and easy going. The neighborhood is safe and sound, very quiet and neat street, and the apartment is only a few blocks away from the A train to Manhattan. We stayed for 9 nights and enjoyed it very much.
A very pleasant stay at Corettas in Brooklyn. Price vs quality was very good and everything was nice, clean and tidy. You can really feel at home her, making your own breakfast and also dinner if you want.
The concept of living in Brooklyn as a home-base was excellent!
Coming back from Manhattan to Bed-Stuy in the evening was really nice.
Going with the Metro late nights was no problem, feeling secure the whole way.
A quiet place with a bunch of friendly and helping people.
Small restaurants nearby and several stores to by food and others.
Next time we'll go to New York - this is the place to book!
Thanks Coretta and thanks Wimdu for good services and a reliable concept.
It was superb!
Det var kanonbra!
Das war wunderbar!

Lovely apartment. Lots of space, lots of storage, enough privacy options by the three rooms. Well stove and quick sound wave, all that is required of material to cook yourself delicious. Well bring some herbs.
It was just climbing every day because we were on the third floor but the stairs are not too steep. Pleasant neighborhood. Not very rich so not too many nice restaurants to go but simple tables and takeaway. Easily accessible by subway, but if you do not want to be in the southern part of Manhattan, have to look, walk and move to eg. 4 or 5 in Fulton. Count three minutes to an hour. But in return, you have a base for all of New York. Coretta and our hostess was friendly and helpful! A must so if you are with 3-4 people.
Heerlijk appartement. Lekker ruim, veel kastruimte, voldoende privacymogelijkheden door de drie kamers. Goed fornuis en snelle degelijke magnetron, alles wat aan materiaal nodig is om zelf lekker te kunnen koken. Wel zelf wat kruiden meenemen.
Het was wel even klimmen elke dag omdat we op drie hoog zaten maar de trappen zijn niet al te steil. Prettige buurt. Niet erg rijk dus ook niet veel gezellige restaurantjes om te gaan tafelen maar wel eenvoudige en afhaalmaaltijden. Goed bereikbaar met de metro, maar als je niet in het zuidelijke deel van Manhattan wilt zijn, is het even zoeken, lopen en overstappen op bijv. 4 of 5 bij Fulton. Reken op drie kwartier tot een uur. Maar in ruil daarvoor heb je een uitvalsbasis voor heel New York. En onze gastvrouw Coretta was vriendelijk en behulpzaam! Een aanrader dus als je met 3-4 personen bent.
The apartment is large en beautiful. It's a floor of a typical brownstone house, built in 1850, located in a very nice street. By staying in Brooklyn you see something of this district too, which is worthwhile. The subway is nearby; line A brings you to Manhattan.
Coretta, we thank you for your hospitality!
Good quality / price ratio for this apartment where we spent 1 week. In addition to what is noted, there hairdryer, ironing board and iron.
The express subway (Nostrand Ave) is 10 minutes and close to Manhattan. There is also the Manhattan bus nearby.
Coretta are friendly and accommodating. She lives in 2 steps of the apartment which makes things easier.
Here we have a glimpse of real life in Brooklyn
Bon rapport qualité/prix pour cet appartement dans lequel nous avons passé 1 semaine. En plus de ce qui est noté, il y a sèche-cheveux, planche et fer à repasser.
Le métro express (Nostrand Ave) est à 10mn et proche de Manhattan. Il y a aussi les bus de Manhattan dans le coin.
Coretta est sympa et accomodante. Elle habite à 2 pas de cet appartement ce qui facilite les choses.
Ici, on a un aperçu de la vraie vie dans Brooklyn
We had a great stay in this lovely apartment. The area is very nice, safe and quiet. The subway is very near and connection to all highlights of New York is easy. Thank you Coretta for the great service and if we will visit new york again, we will definetely stay in your apartment.
Free Wifi, clean apartment, the host is friendly and no issues at all.
100% recomendable
I gladly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to enjoy a stay in this genuine NY area. The apartment is spacious and comfortable and was properly cleaned up upon our arrival. The kitchen includes all the devices necessary for preparing simple dishes and there were also some basic food stuffs in the fridge and the pantry. The neighbourhood felt safe and everyone we met was very keen to help us since we often needed to ask for directions. Coretta and her husband are both very nice and they stayed up until 4 am to welcome us and hand over the keys when our flight was 8 hours delayed, which we are very grateful for. Much quality for such cheap price!!

Prolific yet unpredictable, Ty Segall is a standard bearer for the most recent group of artists who have managed to resuscitate garage rock and punk, genres that some thought had already been mined of all their freshness by several previous such returns. The Ty Segall Band's In the Red release Slaughterhouse is one of three recordings on which Segall appears in 2012: he also recorded Twins under his own name via Drag City and Hair with White Fences.
There's little doubt that Iggy Pop and the Stooges are patron saints of Segall and company. The singer's throaty cries also channel Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Eric Burdon in places. Yes, he has collected the right records; but Segall's isn't living the garage punk experience secondhand. The seemingly restless creativity that fuels his prolific streak also inhabits the nervous energy and chaotic spirit of Slaughterhouse, Twins, and Hair. All three recordings exude a swaggering ebullience that can't be faked or finessed by hype proliferators.

Stem cells are mother cells that have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. One of the main characteristics of stem cells is their ability to self-renew or multiply while maintaining the potential to develop into other types of cells. Stem cells can become cells of the blood, heart, bones, skin, muscles, brain etc. There are different sources of stem cells but all types of stem cells have the same capacity to develop into multiple types of cells.
Pluripotent Stem Cells (PS cells)
These possess the capacity to divide for long periods and retain their ability to make all cell types within the organism. The best known type of pluripotent stem cell is the one present in embryos that helps babies grow within the womb. These are termed embryonic stem cells. These cells form at the blastocyst stage of development. A blastocyst is a hollow ball of cells that is smaller than a pinhead. The embryonic stem cells lie within this ball of cells. Recent research has enabled scientists to derive pluripotent cells from adult human skin cells. These are termed induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells.
Fetal stem cells
These are obtained from tissues of a developing human fetus. These cells have some characteristics of the tissues they are taken from. For example, those taken from fetal muscles can make only muscle cells. These are also called progenitor cells.
Adult stem cells
These are obtained from some tissues of the adult body. The most commonly used example is the bone marrow. Bone marrow is a rich source of stem cells that can be used to treat some blood diseases and cancers.
Scientists first studied the potential of stem cells in mouse embryos over two decades ago. Over years of research they discovered the properties of these stem cells in 1998. They found methods to isolate stem cells from human embryos and grow the cells in the laboratory.
Early studies utilized embryos created for infertility purposes through in vitro fertilization procedures and when they were no longer needed for that purpose. The use required voluntary donation of the embryos by the owners.
Stem cell research is improving by leaps and bounds. These may soon become the basis for treating diseases such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart failure, cerebral palsy, heart disease and host of other chronic ailments.
Stem cells may also be used for screening new drugs and toxins and understanding birth defects without subjecting human volunteers to the toxins and drugs.

I think they can take it allot further than this if they really put their minds to it.
*a lot
The word 'stem' does not occur in the New Testament of the Bible, and such a Hebrew word as "stem", found only in Isaiah 11:1, also means "stock", found also in Job 14:8 and Isaiah 14:24; the latter of thrice mention noting a bad ending, aka groundead to the point of extinction.
Also please notice doing cures in Luke 13:32 is not yet perfected; For in perfected mode there are no diseases to cure.
So, can we move on, from the law law principles to perfection, as noted to do in Hebrews 6, and notably by leaving IMPerfection for perfection has no such IMP-y pre-fix.
Is stem cell transplantation is successful in heart and liver treatment?
just wasn't clear if the stem cells are being transplanted or as written (Scientists first studied the potential of stem cells in mouse embryos over two decades ago. Over years of research they discovered the properties of these stem cells in 1998. They found methods to isolate stem cells from human embryos and grow the cells in the laboratory.) in-vitro studies are performed. and the organ is generated in-vitro and then transplanted as a whole. And if the stem cells were able to mutiply to make all cell types i really don't think there would be any dreadful disease existing.
Just want it to know whether it will help for cancer or not?

i have been taking prescription allergy drugs for the last ten years , oral and nasal,and it has been a constant struggle.I tried all the top brands and all they seemed to do was to fill my throat with phlem and if i stopped taking them i would devlope a severe sinus infection.I have been taking nasal support for about 2 months now and i can honestly say it really works. not only does it clear my nasal passages but it also eliminates the phlem.no more steroid nasal spray for me !!!
Works without a doubt
Posted by Reviewer2029418 on Sep 14, 2009
I have been taking this product for 5 years, religiously everyday. It works. Have stopped the singulair and only use this and a nasal wash called salt aire sinus relief. I have suffered allergies for 40 years and am constantly outdoors. No more suffering - period; regardless of the time of year.
Posted by Reviewer2935881 on May 11, 2008
This really helps my allergies a lot. I don't react well to the products out there on the market. I use to see an allergist who prescribed medication and gave me shots to help my resistance to allergies. It didn't help. I feel that this is a safe product to use.

I have suffered with alergies for 54 years and have gone to many specialist and tried many prescriptions and natural remedies and this product has them all beat .
works well for me
Posted by Reviewer1889230 on Nov 20, 2010
I use this when my sinuses, are swollen typically during the allergy season in the fall. This works well to relieve the pressure and keep my sinuses clear. This works better for me than antihistamines and decongestants because the nasal support relieves the symptoms with no following respiratory or sinus infection.

Think back to the subject or subjects that gave you the most trouble in school. There was, I'm sure, something that you just could not seem to understand, no matter how hard you tried. It happens to the best of us.
Now, think of where you are in your training. If you're lucky, things are going well. If not, you may be in one of the inevitable training slumps that we all endure.
Landings are one example. Certain ground reference maneuvers are another, especially some of the commercial maneuvers. The same thing happens in instrument training.
One of the best tools to learn whether or not you fully grasp something is to try to teach it. Sit down with your instructor, or with another pilot, and try to teach the subject that you are struggling to comprehend. This will force you to go through all of the steps, and use the tried-and-true building-block process.
Take Eights on Pylons, which is a ground reference maneuver. With the Eights On, you have to compute your pivotal altitude, which is based on groundspeed. To know what the groundspeed is, you need to have an idea of what the winds are, which might require a check of the weather. Once the pivotal altitude is computed, you need to explain how to set up the maneuver, followed by what is going to happen based on the winds.
When NDB approaches were common, the failure rate on NDB approaches on checkrides was relatively high, because it isn't the easiest maneuver to fly or understand. But, if you can discuss it and teach it, the NDB approach suddenly becomes much easier, and that kind of confidence is something you want to have when you are flying one in low IFR conditions for the first time—especially if it is the first low IFR approach you are flying by yourself, as it was for me.
It doesn't matter if the subject is practical or academic. The reality is that somewhere along the way, you will likely have a bump in the road. By trying to teach the topic, you are forced to study it in a different way, and further, you are forced to try to fill in the gaps you have versus just trying to gloss over them.
I've used this approach for myself as well as for students with great success, and a good instructor will also let you use it as an opportunity to get the most that you can out of your learning experience.—Chip Wright

One of the things I learned from my father is that a crisis is both a danger and an opportunity. That's in the Chinese characters. And how you take advantage of the opportunity of the crisis rather than become despairing because of the danger. Is something we're facing all the time, particularly at this time. It's a philosophical approach I think that is very much needed and alive here in the city of Detroit.
"That's in the Chinese characters." This passing reference by the 96-year-old Chinese-American philosopher Grace Lee Boggs got us wondering. What exactly does she mean? And what do those characters look like?
As it happens, explains our Public Insight Network colleague Melody Ng, the Chinese word for "crisis" consists of two characters: 危 or wei (pronounced "way") and 机 ji (pronounced "gee"). Wei means dangerous or precarious. Ji means opportunity or chance.
Bound up in the meaning of "crisis" are both danger and opportunity (see update below). In each trying moment, there's a chance for something positive to occur. Today being Chinese New Year, the Year of the Dragon, what a most auspicious thought to carry forward as we encounter our own crises in 2012.
UPDATE (Jan 31, 2012): Since posting this story, we have since heard from several people on Facebook who dispute Boggs' interpretation of the meaning of the two characters. Michael Barreto pointed us to an article by Professor Victor H. Mair who takes a much different position on the interpretation of wēijī from Grace Boggs. On the one hand, he offers a better interpretation of jī as "incipient moment" instead of "opportunity":
"Aside from the notion of "incipient moment" or "crucial point" discussed above, the graph for jī by itself indicates "quick-witted(ness); resourceful(ness)" and "machine; device." In combination with other graphs, however, jī can acquire hundreds of secondary meanings."
But since there are other kinds of interpretation, better and worse, is Grace Lee Boggs' father, a native speaker, really wrong in hers? Professor Mair even offers alternatives for someone looking for jī as "opportunity":
If one wants to find a word containing the element jī that means "opportunity" (i.e., a favorable juncture of circumstances, or a good chance for advancement), one needs to look elsewhere than wēijī, which means precisely "crisis" (viz., a dangerous, critical moment). One might choose, for instance, zhuǎnjī ("turn" + "incipient moment" = "favorable turn; turn for the better"), liángjī ("excellent" + "incipient moment" = "opportunity" [!!]), or hǎo shíjī ("good" + "time" + "incipient moment" = "favorable opportunity")."
Though Grace Lee Boggs' interpretation may not be linguistically accurate, this conundrum reminds us that connotations of meaning are culturally subtle. Meaning can be hidden, reinterpreted, and even evolve within a language as it travels. Though it is dangerous to create posts like this one, it does point to the depth and complexity of language, especially as it crosses cultures. That's a marvelous thing.

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: The craziest thing I have ever done was at the Standout Productions' retreat this past January in Virginia. I completed a rope's obstacle course. First, I climbed a tall telephone pole, stood at the top, and jumped off in under a minute. Next, I climbed a rock wall and zip lined through the woods. Then, I went horseback riding... All in seven degree weather!
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: I am definitely not the next Betty Crocker, however I do enjoy cooking. In addition to making dinner occasionally, I love to bake a scrumptious old fashioned Pineapple Upside Down Cake.
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: If I were handed 10 million dollars, I would go on an Around the World cruise. I am passionate about all walks of life, therefore this would be the perfect opportunity for me to explore outside of America and learn about other cultures and ways of life. I would also love to visit awe-inspiring natural wonders and historical sites.
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: If I could meet one celebrity, I would like to meet Barbara Walters. I would like to meet her not only because I feel she is a very knowledgeable person, but also because she has excelled remarkably in her career. As a famous American journalist, writer, and media personality, I would like for her to give me her most valuable insight regarding broadcast journalism as I begin to pursue my career.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: I feel that the most unusual thing about me is my family. We are all very close friends and get along well despite my parents divorce. We have a large extended family that loves and cares for each other unconditionally. People find it very unusual that we dine and vacation together regularly.

General Tips
- Eat before you're hungry and walk before you're tired. –Len Thompson
- You can do anything for half a day. If it hurts to walk and [and it also hurts to] run, run. –Martha Schoppe
- Be patient. Be patient. Be patient. It's fun when over 1/2 the people leave you at the start then slowly you pick them off. I like around 200 calories per hour. And have fun. Don't overthink things. Enjoy your time in the woods. –Lanier Greenhaw
- Start slow, comfy shoes, 300 cals per hour, drink to thirst, enjoy the journey, don't quit even when brain gives good excuses. –David Hill @dogsrundenver
- 1. Stick to the plan. 2. Start slow. 3. Garmin alerts for food. 4. Drink. –Brad Barber @bradbarber788
- Tell everybody you know so you can't back out. Then anytime you question why you run, just put more sugar in. Oh, and lubricate your feet and your delicates. A LOT. –Lee Shane
- Relax and have fun. Always better to have some friends to run your first one with. –Alan Bauler
- Run when you can. Walk when you have to. You can always do another 10 miles. What goes in, comes out. You can do it. 90-percent mind. –Joann Oliver Lynch
- Trust in your training and enjoy the view. –The Range of Motion @RangeOfMotion1
- Wear sunscreen. Prepare to run on quads that feel like they have separated from your femur (they haven't). Eat whatever looks good whenever you are hungry but keep those nasty gels in the tank with some regularity. Drink when thirsty. Smile! –Jason Walsh
- Take care of your feet...any hot spots...change socks, shoes or both. –Sean Flannery
- Don't stop, don't sit, don't lie down. Stay on your feet to rest. Walk if you have to, but keep going. –Bee Yen @kamoterunner
- Take all advice with a grain of salt. –Boog Ferrell @boogferrell
- Before you focus on super long runs (>20-25 miles), perfect your stride as best you can. No point in logging (or slogging!) tons of heavy miles with crappy mechanics. You'll only be prolonging recovery, beating yourself up more than you should, greater risk of injury, and practicing/further teaching your body inefficiency. Speed work also enhances stride efficiency. Before you "run long," run right! Focus on leg turnover: 180-188 "revolutions per minute." Being light on your feet is gonna lessen the chance of pounding your legs harder than they have to, thus, decreasing the risk of injury and being able to efficiently "flow" over varying terrain. And, when you're tired in the later stages of an ultra, a higher cadence is going to help you "slow down less" (which is what we all want, right?) – Jacob Rydman
- Do general strength and core work in your training. –Alex Beecher @Baristing
- Don't freak out, don't neglect speed work, specificity and strength and conditioning. Warming up, cooling down and stretching are indispensable, do it every day! If your ultra is flat, do two hill sessions a week, if your ultra is hilly, do two flat sessions a week. –Levente Dorogi
- Learn Chi Running! –Damian Stoy
- One month before your first 50, complete a 50K healthy. Recover, resume training with no runs longer than 20 miles, and you will be fine. On race day, concern yourself only with finishing. Don't worry about who's ahead of you, who's behind you, or any of that other bullshit. JUST FINISH. Have fun, respect the course and the distance, and just finish. At your next 50 miler you will smoke it. –Gene Gatens
- Do your training runs prior in the 15-to-25-mile range at race pace. –Paul Winkelblech
- Run few 50Ks before. If you can finish 50K with some spare time before cut offs, you can finish 50 miles with proper nutrition and strategy. –Olga Nevtrinos
- Get in a few 20-miler back-to-backs. –Khara Tina Hamilton
- Do at least two 35-mile training runs prior to the event. –Mike Kendig
- Back to back loooong runs every weekend. Example: 20/10, 25/10. This helped me enormously. And train tired every once in a while. –Jennifer Ward
- Patience. Don't worry about people passing you and running faster early on. Stay relaxed and race your race. – JP Bordeleau
- It's OK to walk or hike, just do it with a purpose. –Eric Lee @MtnRunner_ELee
- Hold back till past the halfway point. You'll still have lots of miles to cover. Be sure to fuel and hydrate in the days before the race, not just on race day, get plenty of rest. Enjoy! – Tricia McLendon Lieberman
- Slow down, then slow down again. Eat early and eat often! –Chris Swenke
- I just ran my first 50-mile and the best advice I got was the pace myself the first half so that it felt slow. Walk or hike the climbs to save energy. If you have legs left, you can push harder in the second half. – Shelby Berg
- Easy-chair pace. If you feel like your breathing hard or exerting any effort, you're going too fast! –Rachel Corrigan
- Take it easy, power walk hills until mile 30 when the race really starts. Don't forget to enjoy the race and trail. –Ed Cushing
- Log more time on your feet. Know the course you are running. Learn to walk and powerhike on your long runs. Hike the ups, run the downs. Pace and eat! – Rob Howard
Mental Strategy
- Don't let anyone convince you that it is a total slog—you will be mentally engaged. –Andrew Wellman @aj_wellman
- Don't ever consider the possibility that you won't make it. Assume that you will and put all energies into making it so. –Dan @danieltyree
- When you a hit a dark spot, keep moving forward. It will subside. –Travis Honaker @webgems13
- Imagine you are training for 100 miles on those long runs, that will make 50 seem like a piece of cake. – Lee O'Breasail
- Sit down beforehand for at least 10 minutes and think through the race, every checkpoint, how you'll feel and convince yourself of a finish and nothing less. Stick to it. –Mark Howlett
- Break your run into 5-mile checkpoints. This keeps your mind from freaking out. Don't forget, it's OK to take little rest stops as needed. –Christopher Sheehan
- Just keep going until the finish. I felt tired after 25 miles, but kept going, and I really never got to feel more tired then I already felt. I just reached a steady state and kept running in it. Good luck! –Marjolein Baas
- Be patient and the finish line will come to you... And left right left right … —Ryan Hopkins
- Be prepared for the emotional roller coaster, but remember that you CAN do it!! –Mellisa Davis Warden
- I did my first 50M a few weeks ago, and kept telling myself "As bad as you feel, understand that you're going to feel worse, but you're also going to feel better." It kept me going through the "bad patches." –Jeff Mannion
- I locked myself out of my car 15 minutes before my first 50M; no wallet, phone, hydration, fuel, change of clothes, sunscreen, etc. I was problem solving throughout the race (coat hanger, locksmith, slim jim, etc.)—never getting into the BMW until the next day. Realize you really don't need everything you think and just be mentally prepared for anything. Finished strong, running the entire trail race in a little over 10 hrs. –Gerry Smerka Jr.
- Really dial in your nutrition plan—it's probably just as important, if not more, as the training itself. –Brett Zugnoni
- Find the right fuel. Real food if possible. Drink enough. SLOW DOWN. –Christopher Sheehan
- Eat the most in the beginning while your stomach can handle the food. Go for salty foods @ mile 10... sweet foods in the beginning. –Heather Poast Live Barefoot
- Eat, even when you're not hungry, keep eating gels. – George Katsikaris Jr.
- Puree food to get it broken down and it is awesome. –Dustin Young
- I consumed nothing but gels every 25 mins or so and drank 8-10 oz of water every hr or so along with a salt capsule every hour. I also took 2 Advil at mile 31 and washed them down with a half can of Red Bull. I also drank coke and ginger ale at the aid stations but ate nothing but the gels! –Troy Brady
- Don't eat too much too fast. So practice eating. –Travis Cowan
- Always do an ice bath for 10 minutes afterwards w/ a glass of wine or a beer do a little yoga before and after the race. –Heather Poast Live Barefoot
... And Most Importantly, Don't Lose Your Sense of Humor
- Bring whiskey. –Matt Smogor
- Poop before the start. The rest is easy. –Davide Ferrara
- Be very nice to your spouse. You're going to need the brownie points! –Anthony Tieuli
- Training is overrated. –Christopher Sipe
- Lots of praying. –Jeff Yeaw

I read an article at teatimeworldwide.com about removing the caffeine from "regular" tea. 80% of the caffeine is released from the leaves in the first 30 seconds. So all you have to do is steep for 30 seconds and then discard the water and steep again. This way you can enjoy your favorite tea without buying special "decaf" tea. Also if you reuse the leaves like I do only the first cup has the caffeine. Sounds pretty simple to me. Hope this is helpfull.

Autonomy's Blood on Whitman's Hands Too
There is a narrative that she's trying to present to the world:Turnarounds are hard and messy I let Mike Lynch go when I sensed issues at Autonomy (the former CEO) We are very angry by these accounting wrongdoings and are doing our best now to clean them up This was a deal done by my predecessor I'm doing the best I can under the circumstances to turn this thing around
There is some truth to this narrative. Leo Apotheker, HP's CEO before Meg, was hired by HP in September 2010. This was before Meg was on the board. And it was Leo who wanted Autonomy and convinced the HP board to pull the trigger on it in August of 2011.
However, an inconvenient truth missing from Whitman's account is that she joined the HP board in January 2011. Her job as a director was to be a fiduciary for HP shareholders in overseeing Apotheker. She fully blessed his plan to divest the PC business as a director -- and then later reversed herself once she was CEO by saying it was important for the company to retain control of this business unit.
Whitman was also the one to give the A-OK to the Autonomy deal. This was a deal that lots of other companies had looked at and passed on. Autonomy had already drawn a lot of interest from shorts.
And yet Whitman didn't just green-light HP buying it for its current substantial market cap of $6 billion. She and the rest of the HP board approved paying an 80% premium to get control of Autonomy.
It seems like, in hindsight, HP's board had a case of 3Par-itis. HP had gotten into a huge bidding war with Dell (DELL) over 3Par just prior to Apotheker being hired. Rather than face a similarly long and drawn out bidding war for Autonomy, HP tried to flex its muscles by paying a huge premium and scaring off other potential bidders.
Where was the board? Where was Meg Whitman?
Of course, today, we're hearing them cast blame on Autonomy's auditors -- Deloitte -- and people like Mike Lynch. We're also hearing them complain about their own investment bankers and lawyers who, no doubt, deserve blame. Yet, HP's board -- which is clearly still the most dysfunctional board in corporate America -- is again at the heart of a major self-inflicted blunder.
Meg Whitman deserves tough questions. So does Chair Ray Lane. So does Marc Andreessen and the rest of the HP board.
