Each day more people die in Syria. Each day thousands of people flee to safety someplace in the battered country of Syria. New figures indicate at least 6,000 more are dead in March, and this raises the total of dead Syrians to about 70,000 since the madness of Bashar al-Assad began two years ago. The longer such conflicts proceed the less interested are the attitudes of those not being killed. It is difficult to identify a demonstration in any Muslim nation which is aimed at the Assad government. It is difficult to identify any group of imams coming together to fight for peace in Syria. The only interested people in this conflict is the government of Assad and insurgent forces which represent a wide variety of views.
The only certainty in the Syrian civil war is that when it concludes there will be another civil war as various factions vie for power. The other certainty is that civilians face another round of violence in which they die as others die to control the country for their own self interests.

In addition, the following organizations offer tuition support for this program:
"As a longtime funder of the Senior Executives in State and Local Government program, I know the value that it provides to elected and appointed officials. For years, this program has stood alone as the source of training, education and inspiration for leaders, including those in the gay and lesbian community.But it wasn't until I was a student that I fully appreciated the depth and intensity of the program. And then again, not until I got back to running a grant-making foundation that I realized how profound and comprehensive my three weeks in Cambridge had been. While the challenges at work have not diminished, my ability to understand and manage them has been forever enhanced because of the program."

text: Air TravelHealthy considerations during air travelAir travel has become so commonplace, that many people think of it as routine as taking the bus was in years past. However, particularly on longer flights, air travel may pose some discomforts you should be aware of. The following are tips, which are especially useful for those traveling internationally, those who may be on airplanes for long periods of time, or passengers crossing multiple time zones.Tips for making air travel more comfortable and more safeCarry medicines in your carry-on luggage and keep all medicines in their original bottles. Before you leave, discuss with your doctor whether you should change medicine dosages, particularly if you will be crossing time zones and your eating and sleeping schedules will change when you reach your destination. Be sure to bring enough medicines that will last longer than the planned trip in case you experience any delays along the way. If you have diabetes, epilepsy, or any other chronic condition which could need emergency medical attention, carry a notification and identification card with you. Have the name and phone number of your healthcare provider with you, as well as a list with names and dosages of all your medicines. Call the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at least 72 hours before your flight if you will need special assistance at security screening checkpoints. Be sure to drink plenty of nonalcoholic, decaffeinated beverages, and water to prevent dehydration. Remember, the air in airplanes is very dry.Relieving pain in your ears during air travelTry taking a decongestant or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine before you get on the airplane, particularly if you are suffering from a head cold or swollen sinuses. If you have high blood pressure or heart problems, you should not take decongestants without approval of your healthcare provider.Swallow often and chew gum during the flight, particularly during take-off and as the plane reduces altitude prior to landing. Drink plenty of fluids.Pinch your nostrils shut and breathe through your mouth. Force air into the back of your nose as if trying to blow your nose.Relieving motion sickness during air travelEat a light meal or snack before and during travel. Avoid alcoholic beverages.Keep eyes fixed on the horizon and avoid rapid head movements. Sleep if you are able to.Sit over the wing section of the airplane as this is the most stable.Talk with your healthcare provider regarding medicine for motion sickness.Other healthy tips to consider during air travelWalk as often as it is safe to during the flight to prevent blood clots and select an aisle seat when possible. Drink plenty of water.If you wear contact lenses, apply rewetting solution to your lenses often to combat the dryness of the air.Stretch calf muscles while sitting.Wear support stockings if you have problems with circulation.Arrange for special meals ahead of time.Arrange for a wheelchair, if needed, ahead of time.Tips for preventing jet lagRapid travel across several time zones disturbs normal body rhythm and produces many physical and psychological stresses on the body. Commonly referred to as jet lag, the medical term is "circadian dysrhythmia," and while this rarely causes any severe problems, you may be uncomfortable for a few days before your body adjusts to your new time zone. The symptoms are usually worse when flying long distances in a west-to-east direction. What are the symptoms of jet lag?The following are the most common symptoms of jet lag. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:General fatigueSleepiness during the dayDifficulty with normal sleeping patternsImpaired mental ability and memoryIrritabilityHeadachesGastrointestinal discomforts, including stomach cramps, diarrhea, or constipationReduced physical activityThe symptoms of jet lag may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Talk with your healthcare provider for diagnosis.How long does it take to recover from jet lag?The rule of thumb is that generally for west-to-east trips, it takes one day to recover for each time zone you crossed. For east-to-west trips, one day is needed for each one and a half time zones crossed.Some people like to break up a long trip with a stopover to help themselves adjust to the new time zone to which they are traveling. It is also a good idea to build in an extra day or two of low-key activities to help compensate for jet lag.Is there any way to prevent jet lag?There is nothing that eliminates jet lag entirely. The following tips will, however, help to minimize its effects and help you to recover more quickly:Drink plenty of beverages to keep yourself well-hydrated during your flight. Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages.Eat smaller meals that are high in protein and low in fat before, during, and just after your flight.Try going to bed earlier than usual for a few days before an eastbound flight. If flying westbound, stay up later than usual.Set your watch to your destination during your flight to begin making the psychological adjustment to your new time zone.If arriving early in the morning at your destination, sleep as much as you can during the flight. Try to make it through the day and go to bed early that evening. If arriving at your destination in the evening, plan to go to bed shortly after you arrive.There are prescription medicines available that may help you sleep. Talk with your healthcare provider about the use of a sleep aid. What is important to know about aircraft disinsection?If you are traveling internationally, you should be aware that, in some countries, aircraft passenger compartments are sprayed with insecticide while passengers are on board. This is done to prevent the importation of mosquitoes and other insects from one country to another. While the World Health Organization has determined these procedures to be safe, they may aggravate certain health conditions, such as allergies, asthma, and certain respiratory disorders.Countries where disinsection generally takes place include those in Latin America, the Caribbean, Australia, and the South Pacific regions. For more information about disinsection procedures, contact your travel agent or airline. Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

Five University of North Texas students, including three Computer Science and Engineering students, and business reaped awards at the first-ever LeadingAge HackFest Oct. 25 – 27 in Dallas for designing technological tools that can be used to improve the lives of older adults.
First place — Global EngAge
David Adamo Jr., a doctoral student in computer science, and his four teammates from other universities clinched first place with a videoconferencing app that allows seniors to connect with others even if they can't leave their homes. Seniors can virtually attend community events through the app. The first-place team received $5,000.
"All of this technology already exists. We just created something to make it incredibly easy to use," Adamo said. "Simplicity was the most important concern."
People's Choice Award — AMAZE
Quentin Mayo, a UNT student working on a doctoral degree in computer science, and Mahsa Kia, an undergraduate studying computer engineering at UNT, served on the four-person AMAZE team that earned the People's Choice Award for creating a tool that sends a text message when a senior takes his or her medication.
"We are trying to enrich lives," Mayo said. "We want to give them positive encouragement to take their medication on time. They get a reminder to take medication through a text, and then they are connected through a call with another person."
The People's Choice team earned $1,000.
"Winning this award meant that we got heard and that our product will hopefully one day help the elderly in order to extend their lives even more," Kia said.

Dubbed by our own Brownlee as "one of the greatest fuck ups in hardware history", Microsoft's Xbox 360 failures — the storied "Red Ring of Death" — has cost the company a billion dollars in repair expenses and quite possibly one talented executive. Reporter Dean Takahashi wrote a fantastic investigate piece chronicling the failure — and now his prime source, Robert Delaware, is being fired (fair enough) and sued (harsh!).
From Takahashi, writing for VentureBeat:
Delaware, a 29-year-old Seattle resident, expects to face civil charges from his former employer VMC (which tests games for Microsoft) and Microsoft as well. He will likely have to hire a lawyer. Microsoft spokesman David Dennis said the company does not talk about personnel issues.
"I don't regret it," he said in a phone call on Thursday. "I'll fight it. If they want to come after me, bring it on."
A commenter on VB fairly sums up my feelings on the matter, provided Delaware's information is accurate:
True that violation of an NDA is obvious grounds for termination, but it should be equally important to note that when someone puts their livelihood on the line to become a whistle blower they automatically deserve a fair amount of credibility. And, lets be clear, while there is a lot of people who will report similar things anonymously, it takes a lot of guts to put your name and reputation on the line, people like this should be commended.

Nigella Lawson is a proud feminist. At the weekend, though, the TV presenter professed she fears a desire to avoid being stuck by the stove has made women her age dread cooking. "How can this be good for anyone?" she asked in the Observer Food Monthly. "I also feel that to denigrate any activity because it has traditionally been associated with the female sphere is in itself anti-feminist."
Given women tend to spend many more hours on chores than their less house-proud halves, it's easy to understand why some opt for the ready meal over the ready-in-an-hour meal. But it's perfectly possible to have Delia sitting on your shelf next to Dworkin, the Domestic Goddess beside the Female Eunuch. So here's how you can mix feminism with the other f-word (that's food, folks).
Phwoar! There's nothing hotter than a man in an apron — mostly because it means there's someone to top and tail the beans while you peel the spuds, pressing fast forward on food production. So pick a partner who is more Nigel Slater than Homer Simpson in the kitchen, or pack Mr Can't Cook off to Cordon Bleu with a toque blanche in the bag. Either way, try to split the cooking fifty-fifty.
... are not good approaches to cooking. But like Ginger Rogers, it seems female chefs must work harder than their male counterparts to get the same recognition. As the chef Michael Caines noted in 2011, in many restaurant and hotel kitchens a "macho" culture remains and women are pushed towards the (supposedly less-pressurised) patisserie plate. In fact, just 20 per cent of British chefs are female. Since we women still need to smash the glass casserole pot, don your "This is what a chef looks like" T-shirt and fight to ensure your daughters can thrive in the (professional) kitchen.
American writer Fran Lebowitz, who joked she preferred dead cows to cuddly kittens, was wise to resist the distinction between "male" and "female" foods. There is, of course, no such thing — just good food and bad food. No woman should feel pressured into rustling up a salad rather than a juicy rump, in the same way anything that has ever been marketed as "not for girls" (the Yorkie bar) or female-friendly (Cadbury's Crispello) should be shunned. Recall the brilliant women who love steak — Lebowitz, Nora Ephron and Dorothy Parker — and get grilling. Also, most of the beef cows we eat are male, so you're doing the bovine sisterhood a favour.
Personally, I hate the cloying pastel icing, the glitter and the fact that what were once "fairy cakes" have had an American re-branding. But according to an article on the feminist blog Jezebel, if cupcakes didn't exist the patriarchy would invent them. It claims the cupcake represents domesticity, modesty and sweetness. "Cupcakes represent measured indulgence," it goes on. "They represent prescribed modes of femininity and our cultural fixation on eternal girlhood." Also, Mitt Romney, he of the binders full of women, eats cupcakes. Oh, and brownies taste better anyway.
Betty Friedan noted "no woman gets an orgasm from shining the kitchen floor". Well, no woman has ever reached the ecstatic heights through eating chocolate either, contrary to all ads which imply otherwise. But nor should chowing down on cake mix be a source of guilt. The greatest feminist victory on food would be to break the binge-guilt cycle and make the fridge our friend.

My Experience With My Daughter's First Job Interview
Do you remember your first job interview? Well my daughter Chloe will. Yesterday, I took Chloe to her first "real" job interview. Proud and anxious, I tried not to "try so hard" (as I'm often told I have a tendency to do.) So, I played cool and laid back (me laid back – that's a joke.)
Chloe's interview was at the local mall. She went to her interview, while I waited and prayed, at the Chick -fil-A, sipping on an unsweetened iced tea with lemon.
About 10 minutes into the interview, I noticed Chloe and a young man walking toward me. I stayed cool until they both smiled at me, and I hid my face and said "oh I'm not here, you didn't see me, okay?" Really Amy, really? The young man answered me as they walked past me to a table in the back, "oh, that's okay, it's just easier for us to talk here, rather than in the store.
Wow – I felt the "cool-laid back" attitude I was trying so hard to emote, just fly out the window! Now, if you have a teenager – you know how that little incident might negatively effect them, and not in a good way, that's for sure.
So I sat there, not looking behind me, for what seemed like days. Than they both approached my table and the young man sticks out his hand and says, "well it's nice to meet you. Chloe told me who you were." We chatted for a minute and he said "the interview went well, and the manager will be calling soon." Evidently the young man was the Assistant Manager.
So, Chloe had to take off for an event she was late for, and there I was, by myself at the Chick-fil-A. The story of my life. I got home and waited til she returned so I could get all the details about the interview.
Finally at 9:00, Chloe gets home and you will never guess what she told me. Here are her exact words, "Mom, did you not see me giving you the don't act like you know me look?" I shook my head no. "He didn't know who you were." So, I made a fool of myself to this kid who obviously was just smiling at me to be polite – great. So much for "cool."
I knew I shouldn't have asked this next question, but I couldn't help myself. I asked Chloe what he said when they sat down to interview. The young man said, "wow, that was strange." Strange? Really? She informed him that I was her mother and I was here for support. And do you know what that sweet young man said? "Don't worry, my mother came to my first interview too." Maybe I didn't make things as bad as I thought.
The moral of the story is – when you are a mother, there is no getting around embarrassing your teen. Just know it will happen, take the heat, and move on. Because one day, when your child has children, they will remember.
I would love to hear your stories about you and your teenager, just so I know that I'm not alone. HA! Keep your fingers crossed that Chloe gets the job, and that I survive being a parent of a teenager.

What's Trending With Teri Ann
Here's What's Trending Today!
Just when you thought Pharrell couldn't get any happier, under the direction of BAPE founder Nigo, he's joined by the Teriyaki Boyz and other Japanese celebrities for the Japanese rendition of "Happy."
Justin Timberlake and fans from around the globe keep the King of Pop's memory alive by reenacting a bunch of his music videos. "Love Never Felt So Good" appears on Michael Jackson's posthumous album XSCAPE, in stores now. The video is an homage to Jackson and his signature dance moves, featuring numerous scenes from old Michael Jackson videos like "Bad" and "Beat It," as well as Timberlake and a bevy of professional dancers mimicking Jackson's moves.
Edith Pittenger celebrated her 102nd birthday Tuesday by having legendary auto racer Mario Andretti chauffeur her for a few laps around Indianapolis Motor Speedway (where the Indy 500 will be run on May 25)--at 180 miles per hour. "He said 180 is the maximum," she said of Andretti. "I wanted to do 200, but he wouldn't do that...He didn't slow down around those corners; that's what surprised me." Andretti was so taken with Pittenger that she now has a standing invitation to return to the Indy 500 track for a couple hot laps alongside him every year.

Well, I'm new to this site, but I've tried everything that I can think of to fix my prob short of yanking the heads off my motor and starting over. I've got a 71 chev pickup with a 78 chev rebuilt 4 bolt with smog heads. The guy I bought the truck from bought the long block and slapped it in about 1 year age. My problem is the thing detonates like crazy and sounds like a glass jar full of marbles. It doesn't seem too though when you put your foot all the way in it. Only at part throttle and mild acceleration does it occur. It's got an Edelbrock Performer, HEI, headers ,and a Carter AFB carb. Anyone got any ideas?
I have an idea that few people know about. Since you bought the truck from someone else there is always the posiblily there are differenct than stock cam and other parts. If you have a timing light I would check your current timing, and check to see that the timing is advancing on the vibration damper. Then buy a vacuum gauge and try this.
If you have points, set them to 30 degrees, with a dwell meter.
Adjust the idle screws on the carb so that it runs the best and adjust to the factory idle speed.
Connect vacuum gauge to an outlet on the intake manifold.
Turn the distributor until you get the highest reading.
Then turn the distributor back the other way so that it reads one less. If your max reading was 20, turn the distributor until the vacuum gauge reads 19.
I have 4 cars that I have timed this way and it works great as long as your advance is working like it should.
Let us know if it works for you.
I'll try it and see if it works. Just to let you know, I have retarded the timing enough to keep the engine from detonating, but it obviously has noe bottom end and idles like I have a monster cam. My ignition is pointless as I have a stock HEI. Shouldn't it run on 93 octane? I can't imagine th C/R being any higher than 9.5:1 with stock 76cc smog heads.
The vacuum advance mechanism should be getting be getting ported vacuum from above the throttle plates, if it is hooked up to manifold vacuum it will cause part throttle detonation. Check your vacuum source at idle, if it is getting vacuum you have found the problem. There should be a hook up on the carb for ported vacuum.
Already done the ported vacuum thing. It is hooked up to ported vacuum. Any other suggestions?
Check your mechanical advance mechanism under the advance plate for broken springs or corrosion that might cause sticking. Any of these might cause the problem. Worn distributor shaft will scatter the spark and not help things any either, if you can move the shaft at all (even a little) it has had it.
Thanks 4jaw. You got me to really thinking that this may be the prob. I have tried everthing from gallons of octane booster, toluene, retarded ignition, and carb. adjustments from lean to rich. Nothing seems to work so it must be mechanical. I'll let you know how she turns out.
4-jaw; You sound like the guy who can answer a question I have had for years. I have called radio 'expert' mechanics and they him-haw around and have no answer. When do you use manifold vacuum and when do you use ported vacuum to power vacuum advance mechanisms? They do their job at very different times in engine operation.
[ August 12, 2002: Message edited by: firstname.lastname@example.com ]

Ported vacuum for advance,
manifold vacuum for retard.
Of course you only need retarded spark in a high performance application when forced induction is in the picture...or emission controls-yuck! :p
There are all kinds of things you can do with mechanical systems like bleeds and different diameter diaphrams as well as preload springs for the diaphram(s). I experimented with all these things at one time by cobbling together various types of diaphrams together (what am I nuts?) and I always came back to a plain old adjustable vacuum advance canister like they had on early sixties fords. They are nice to have so you can adjust not only the preload but also the total vacuum advance, great for mileage running pump gas.
Then electronics came along and all that adjustabilty went out the window, thank God for the aftermarket black boxes that are adjustable with a laptop. Honestly trying to keep the facory non adjustable stuff is a waste of time, if you can't play with the spark advance, a plain old mechanical distributor (with electronic pickups) is better than the non-adjustable stuff for power.
So you're saying I could move my vacuum source from the manifold to the port on my Holley 3-bbl, 9:1, headers, 3/4 race cam, 354 hemi and get more power w/o detonation?
After tuning it for the change....yes. The ported vacuum source on any carbuerator can be anywhere above the throttle plate and depends on the design itself but basically if it you look at it this way you will understand;
Vacuum advance is for one thing...mileage and response at part throttle.
Race engines use only mechanical advance for this reason, if you introduce any vacuum advance into the equation you can have the vacuum advancing the timing when you least need it....like coming into a corner and releasing the throttle (high manifold vacuum). Also at top end the engine will start to generate some manifold vacuum (due to restrictions) which could cause some advance. This is very dangerous as detonation at this rpm will destroy the engine quickly (6000+). Your ported source will be at atmospheric under the same conditions.
Ideally you want the best of both worlds, vacuum advance when your just cruising around when the engine can use it and pure mechanical advance when you are hard on the throttle....ported vacuum is as close to a linear response to engine load as you can get and is only active when the throttle is open...at idle you get nothing.
Therefore you can run more initial advance in the distributor without the vacuum advance functioning and messing up your highly tuned mechanical advance setup. Usually what would happen is you would have to reduce initial timing to compensate...this kills off the line torque because as soon as you whack open the throttle the vacuum disappears and your left with a compromised timing for the engine.
I may not be explaining it all that well but here is a rule of thumb that applies to all high performance engines.
-Tune your engine using only mechanical advance on the dyno to get the maximum torque.
-once the engine is installed in the car you hook up the vacuum advance (to ported vacuum) and keep adding advance until it pings...then back off with a safety margin for changing weather conditions etc. Of course you need an adjustable vacuum advance canister. The major problem is load is what determines how much timing the engine can stand unless you are using really low compression )like 6-7:1 and big heavy cars can't handle as much vacuum advance as lighter cars under part thottle load.
Soooo....manifold vacuum will add advance in a non-linear fashion and the engine has to be tuned to compensate (reduced timing). You can see this if you hook up two vacuum gauges, one to ported and the other to manifold and then drive around. You'll see that anytime the load is removed vacuum skyrockets....but rpm stays the same and your mechanical advance mechanism is controlling that. this could cause detonation when you least expect it and least need it (high rpm, low load).
Am I making sense?
Really when you have it setup just right you gain a lot of "snap" from the engine since the timing is where it needs to be anywhere in the rpm range and load and the vacuum advance only kicks in when needed (cruise) and when it does, it does so more slowly and predictably. The mechanical advance mechanism is more in control of the timing that the engine sees.
Usually what happens is you end up dialing a lot more mechanical advance in and reducing vacuum advance. The term "put all your timing into the distributor" is very appropriate for power. Non-ported vacuum advance came about because manufacturers were already compromising the tune of the engine anyway by retarding the timing and the engine could handle that. But if you start trying to give the engine the timing it needs and retain the non-ported advance it will throw a wrench into the whole works. This scheme reduces emissions.
Try it and you will see, it helps to have access to a distributor machine or you can hook up a drill and digital tach to the distributor and tune it on the bench.
So what do you think?
4 Jaw Chuck:
You seem to know quite a bit about vacuum advance mechanisms. Here's a (likely painfully easy) question:
Should I be able to detect a broken vacuum advance can (diaphram...whatever) by sucking on the hose?
Some people have said I should be able to, others have said I shouldn't. I tried it out on my car, and I got no suction at all (i.e., I sucked until I was purple in the face!)
Any suggestions?
Check your vacuum advance... It may be advancing the curve way too much.
Your vacuum advance port should not have suction at idle but have suction when throttle is applied.
You should be able to make the advance plate at least move with mouth suction but.....the best way to check is with a suction pump because you need to check for slow leaks by maintaining a constant fixed vacuum and see if the diaphram holds the vacuum. I have been able to generate 18 inches of mercury by the the oral method if you use your tongue to block the hose during sucks.... :eek:
I detect the possibility of this conversation degrading with all this sucking and turning purple and such so I will just back away from the subject carefully.
Thanx 4, all makes sense.

Lyndsay Williams of Girton Labs has built this prototype "SenseSurface" system which allows you to attach real, physical knobs to a flat-panel display. The magnetic knobs are measured by a sensor plate in the rear, letting you turn the knob itself to control the software dials. It's all a test project now, but I could see some people really getting into this. (Although not on laptops so much as dedicated displays.)

Even if you have NO ideas
Even if you have TOO MANY ideas
Even if you've never started a business before
"I was able to get my first $100 paid client after a week of finishing the material. Through that client, I was able to meet more people who are interested in the service that I provide, and I am currently in the process of booking my services with them."Dennis Aquino
"[This course] gave me an idea to start a business idea! By now, I have earned almost USD 2,000 per month on the side :)"Adhy H.
"I knew that I could give guitar lessons, but for some reason I never went through with it. Moreover, I realized I could charge a lot more and consequently make more money for less work. Now I'm making an extra $500/mo."Stephen
We've all talked about wanting to start a business. "One of these days," we say, "I'm going to do it. I just need to figure it out."
And months pass...then years. How many of us know someone who's been talking about starting something for 10 years? They'll say, "I had that idea years ago!" And yet, they're still dreaming.
It's not just that we WANT to start a business.
It's that we don't know where to START.
What's the right idea? What if we have too many ideas? How do we know we won't be wasting our time chasing an idea that will never actually work?
There are other things that hold us back -- no time, no money to start -- but if we're honest, the FIRST and HARDEST part of starting a business is finding a profitable idea.
Not just any idea, but one that will pay... and not waste your time on scammy SEO tactics or Facebook/Twitter pages that waste months of your time.
Maybe you have too many ideas (a "jack of all trades") -- or you're not sure if you could even find anything that would help you earn money. Maybe you're like one of the many people who send me these questions every week:
I created an introductory mini-course called Find Your First Profitable Idea. It's a step-by-step guide to coming up with an idea that's PROVEN to help you find ONE idea -- just one -- to start your own business.
This is specifically focused on helping you find your first profitable idea -- an idea that will instantly start generating income.
What does this mean for you?
No more getting stuck on too many ideas that you're unsure about. No more wishing for a magical idea to fall from the sky (instead, I'll show you how to take your existing skills and turn them into income).
Think about a friend, or uncle, or parent...the one who's waiting for "an idea" to get started. They've been waiting for 5 years...or 10 years...or longer.
Compare this to someone else who gets excited about idea after idea and jumps into them...only to get bored 6 months later and move on to the next idea. They say things like, "It can't hurt to try, right?" and they wait for an idea to "stick"...but it gets frustrating to jump from idea to idea.
There is a better way -- a way to test your idea BEFORE you waste 6 months of your life on something that won't work.
You don't need a PhD or an expensive certification to earn money. Most of my students are earning money without the help of advanced degrees.
The important part is FINDING an idea and TESTING it.
I'm not interested in jumping from idea to idea. I'm going to show you how to find ideas that are worth infinitely more than that.
"I thought I didn't have any great ideas"
"Before I thought I didn't have any great ideas to make money on my own. Now I realized that it's not about having a life changing idea, but looking into solving problems with the skills that I have or skills that I can/want to learn."DJ Chung
"I never thought I had any skills that people wanted"
"Before I never thought I had any skills that people wanted, now I have an idea that's profitable and have my first 2 clients."Parag R.
That's right. You'll have a profitable idea that's right for you. How can you be sure?
And once you earn $100, you'll know how to earn $1,000 -- and then $2,000, and then thousands per month. I call it "The Tuner Strategy" -- and it begins with earning your first $100.
Think about it: If your goal is to start a business -- even a micro-business! -- the first $100 is critically important. It shows you that your idea is valuable enough for someone to pay for it.
That means we DO focus on:
Find Your First Profitable Idea is my proven, systematic roadmap to help you come up with a business idea you KNOW will earn money -- because you'll have gotten your first client and earned at least $100 with it.
Find Your First Profitable Idea doesn't distract you with advanced business tactics like referral strategies, sales techniques, and detailed pricing. When you're first starting out, complicated material like that actually PREVENTS you from taking the simple first steps you need to take to start your business.
Find Your First Profitable Idea is different. This is specifically focused on helping you find a single idea that will be profitable.
That's it!
If it works, great -- you can "scale" up your earnings whenever you want.
If not, you've only invested a modest amount of time.
This is a rapid "get started today" way to start earning money on the side without committing thousands of dollars for an end-to-end course or investing years of your life into an idea you're not even sure will work.
The truth is, most people can earn thousands/month right now...if only they knew how to find an idea and test it to ensure people will pay for it.
Hoping for an epiphany...
"Before I was hoping for some great idea to pop in my mind and a wonderful epiphany to show up. After reading the material I realized I had to get down to business, narrow my focus and rule out anything that looked good on paper but terrible in practical reality"Diego Polo
"It's quite a shift"
"Ramit thanks for showing me how to get out of my head and into someone else's, it's quite a shift that I thought I had done before, but I hadn't."Andrew McNaughton
When you download your guide you'll get:
You know my philosophy -- "If you're going to make something, make it the best in the world" -- and that's has never been more true than for this Profitable Idea Program.
You'll get over 90 minutes of HD video -- plus over 100 minutes of audio from my private Idea Teardown Sessions with real people finding their own profitable ideas.
If you're reading this you probably already know I help people start side businesses to earn more money. But just in case, here's a little bit about me:
I've written hundreds of free articles for millions of readers and helped people save, invest, and automate their money
My material on earning more has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and ABC News. I'm regularly featured in the New York Times.
Over 10,000 people who have joined my premium programs. And I'd like to invite you to join, too.
My students learn how to start a real business. Here are just a few of the results they've achieved:
"I didn't think that I could generate any leads or clients since I am so young, but even with my not-great original idea I still booked two meetings with potential clients where I found that my age wasn't an issue. Knowing that my age didn't matter as much as I thought it did was a huge eye-opener."Justin Mares
"The fourth person I emailed on my list of leads just accepted my rate at $100 an hour for their event. Booyah! I pretty much just copied your "qualify leads" email? WORKED LIKE A CHARM"Jules
"I ended up with 2 profitable ideas that resulted in $1000 in income within 1 week of implementation."John M.
"I got my first paying client for $50/hour, and he is going to introduce me to others who need the same service."Elie B
"That idea turned into simple Photoshop editing work that turned into a $300-400/week job that works out to $50/hour."Brad
"After going through the "How to Earn1K Materials" and completing the "Find your First Profitable Idea" I realized my passion for marketing could really help small business. I approached friends and family and now have clients on retainer for marketing consulting and have already made over $2,000. The work is fun, and I have you to thank!"Doug Foley
I'm glad you asked. When I created Earn1K, I created the very best product on the market for people looking to earn their first $1,000 on the side. However, after hearing from tens of thousands of people about earning more, I realized that not everybody needed the full Earn1K package.
Some people just want to find ONE profitable idea.
So the Find Your First Profitable Idea program is solely focused on that. We didn't just strip down the "Find An Idea" parts of Earn1K either. We created all-new content, hours of video with new examples and techniques, new case studies, and restructured/expanded the entire curriculum to help you rapidly find a profitable idea.
Earn1K is more comprehensive and includes start-to-finish materials on launching and growing your freelance business, including more complex strategies for referrals, service offerings, lead qualification, client engagement, and more. But it's also more expensive and overkill for some people.
Find Your First Profitable Idea walks you through, step-by-step, to find that first profitable idea. From there, you can scale up, raise your rates, and earn more.
So, you might then be wondering, who is this program for? I don't want everyone -- only the right people.
If you fit the bill, then you can skip this next part. On the contrary, if you're not sure, check out this list to make sure this program is right for you.
If you ARE interested in earning more, then keep reading, because now it's time to see what you get when you order your program today...
Imagine you use this program to identify a profitable idea. You know it works because you get your first enthusiastic, paying client who is delighted to pay for your services. You now have new money in the bank.
What would that mean?
Would you be more confident of your abilities?
Would you be more motivated to earn more and use it to pay off debt, increase your savings, or take an extravagant vacation?
Would you be able to take that first client and "tune" your work into higher-value work that you love...including charging more?
Would you be able to focus on doing the things you love instead of making decisions based on money?
Yes, you would.
For a small investment, you can take your existing skills, find a profitable idea, and "package" your skills to earn you money over and over....for the rest of your life.
And you can earn back the cost of this program -- guaranteed.
PLUS I've got a few surprises for you today...

Citation: Gomez-Landesa, E., Rango, A., Bleiweiss, M. 2004. An algorithm to address the MODIS bowtie effect. Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing. 30(4):644-650. Interpretive Summary: When using raw MODIS data on a PC-Windows computer, overlapping data occurs which causes erroneous snow cover maps, especially on the edge of the image. Because many investigators prefer to use raw satellite data for snow mapping, we developed an algorithm to remove the data repetition, or "bowtie effect" from the MODIS data. Users of the algorithm can now map the snow cover on their own machines with their preferred snow mapping techniques. The results of this algorithm compared closely with methods used on UNIX machines. Those who will profit from this algorithm are scientists and user agency investigators who do their own snow mapping on small, PC-based computers.
Technical Abstract: A snow cover mapping and snowmelt runoff forecasting system is currently being operated at the USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range. Snow-covered area is being used as an input for snowmelt runoff forecasting and has been traditionally derived from NOAA-AVHRR (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) channels 1 and 2. Both the snow maps and the snowmelt runoff forecasts are being sent to water resources agencies and companies for decision making in water management. The quality of the snow maps can be improved using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on board the Terra platform. MODIS channels 1 and 2 are centered in similar wavelengths as AVHRR channels 1 and 2 but with 250-m resolution instead of 1 km off AVHRR channels. The recent implementation of MODIS data has been complicated by the so-called "bowtie effect" of the MODIS instrument, which causes an overlap of the satellite field of view producing a data repetition. This effect increases with the distance from nadir and can be especially dramatic at the edge of the image.

[UNDER-17 WORLD CUP] Once again, the USA didn't make it past the first hurdle of the knockout stage at the Under-17 World Cup. Indeed, it matched its worst
defeat ever in its 14 appearances at the FIFA world championship when it was routed by Germany, 4-0, in the round of 16 Thursday in Queretaro. The scary thing is that it could have been a lot worse.
The loss capped a horrible season for the men's national team program. The senior national team's season of discontent ended with a 4-2 loss to Mexico in the Gold Cup, and the U-20s failed to qualify
for the world championship in their age group.
HORRIBLE DEFENDING. U.S. U-17 coach Wilmer Cabrera mentioned that Germany was "very clinical in their finishing," but the fact of the matter is that horrible defending by the USA gifted the Germans at least three of the goals. If the Germans had taken all their chances, they could have easily had 10 goals.
LACK OF PATIENCE. Considering a nucleus of the team had been together for almost two years, the USA showed a remarkable lack of cohesion. The Americans had plenty of the ball -- they finished with a 22-19 edge in shots -- but they displayed a maddening lack of patience on the ball.
ANOTHER KNOCKOUT DEFEAT. The loss marked the fifth straight tournament, dating back to 2003 with Freddy Adu, at which the USA reached the knockout stage but fell at the first hurdle. Only in 1999 when the USA with Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley and Oguchi Onyewu beat Mexico, 3-2, in the quarterfinals has it won a knockout game.
Knockout Stage Results
2011 Germany 0-4
2009 Italy 1-2
2007 Germany 1-2
2005 Netherlands 0-2
2003 Brazil 0-3
1999 Mexico 3-2
1999 Australia 2-2 (7-8)
1993 Poland 0-3
1991 Qatar 1-1 (4-5)
WORST LOSS SINCE 1993. The only other time the USA lost by as many as four goals was in 1993 when it lost to Oman, 4-0, in its opening game of the tournament.
June 30 in Queretaro
Germany 4 USA 0. Goals: Guenter 20, Weiser 40, Yesil 43, Ducksch 50.
USA -- McIntosh, Acosta, Fehr, Carroll, Amon (Smith, 46), E.Rodriguez, Dunn, Guido, Koroma, Arriola (Melo, 54), M.Rodriguez (McBean, 57)
Germany -- Vlachodimos, Weiser (Born, 79), Roecker, Guenter, Perrey, Yalcin, Can, Yesil (Khedira, 69), Aycicek (Schnellhardt, 58), Ayhan, Ducksch.

This is an 'optimistic' thread. I was reading a post in the sketch group about synaesthesia and it got me thinking-- Does that help the person in their art? In any way?
I'm deaf myself and I really do think it makes me more visually observant and I have powers of concentration like nothing else
How about the rest of you? Do you have anything that improves your work in any way? I'd be interested to see what you guys say. Post away!
Oh and before you ask, I DON'T sign. Plenty of deaf people don't sign! I have a cochlear implant and I was raised oral.

Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore rose to fame as a child star who has been very open about the emotional/physical problems that she faced. Drew Barrymore is one of the most known actresses in Hollywood, she has always has a full schedule of new movies to film.
Being the daughter of a Beatle certainly has its perks, and Stella McCartney had plenty of famous faces in the house as she showed off her 2014 Green Carpet range at London Fashion Week on Sunday evening (September 14).
Always a fan, Sir Paul McCartney showed up to support his little girl, flirting up a storm with Rita Ora throughout the night.
She chooses her projects carefully and always seems to make the right call, so when Drew Barrymore decided to come up with three new perfumes everyone took notice.
Named Cherished, Radiant and Sultry, the "Never Been Kissed" actress' hat trick of scents is her debut in the celebrity fragrance realm.
It's a sad time for Drew Barrymore's family, as her half-sister Jessica Barrymore was discovered lifeless in her car on Tuesday morning (July 29).
According to a report, the 48-year-old woman was seated in the vehicle surrounded by "dozens of white pills," and when a neighbor couldn't wake her, she called the police.
Showing off her little angels, Drew Barrymore shared an adorable snap shot with her daughters on Thursday (June 12).
The doting mother posted the photo of the trio, featuring Olivia, 20 months, and Frankie, 1 month, on Twitter in honor of a great cause.
They've been busy with media duties all week and last night (May 21) Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore teamed up for the Hollywood premiere of their new film "Blended."
The "Happy Gilmore" guy was in good spirits as he hammed it up outside the TCL Chinese Theatre with costars like Terry Crews and Bella Thorne while Zendaya worked her red carpet magic for the paparazzi.
Her new movie "Blended" comes out this week and Drew Barrymore is introducing the world to her daughter Frankie on the cover of People magazine.
The "Wedding Singer" babe gave birth to her little one on April 22nd and she and husband Will Kopelman are thrilled at their expanding family.
After being married to Tom Green, Drew Barrymore can put up with pretty much anything, so it's no wonder she was willing to endure Billy Eichner in the latest edition of "Billy On The Street" while plugging her new flick "Blended."
Eichner began, "I'm standing in front of Central Park where hundreds of mentally ill people talk to squirrels every day while Claire Danes jogs past them. And this is a big day on 'Billy On The Street' because we have an amazing guest here. Please welcome the one and only Drew Barrymore!"
Showing some love to their German fans, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore showed up at the Berlin debut of their new flick "Blended" on Monday night (May 19).
The "Billy Madison" star was in good spirits as he welcomed his "50 First Dates" costar to the arrivals area outside CineStar Theater while fans and shutterbugs looked on.
Stopping by "Ellen" with her "Blended" co-star Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore couldn't help but gush about her new baby girl, Frankie.
Frankie was born on April 22, and is the second child for the actress and her husband Will Kopelman.
She's basking in the glow of motherhood after giving birth to her second daughter in April, and Drew Barrymore took a moment to chat with the June 2014 issue of Redbook about her wonderful life.
After posing for David Burton and Diego Uchitel, the "Blended" star opened up about making time for her girl friends and working with Adam Sandler again on her upcoming flick.

Hello everyone! Greetings from Sheppard AFB here in 106 degree TX.
While I do not yet have a WRX, after test driving a number of sedans and wagons, I have already made up my mind to purchase a WRX wagon (like the extra space and the "sleeper" quotient) once I am released from Active Duty here in August. I have owned MANY sports/muscle cars over the years(my last ride was a 2000 Contour SVT), but have never owned a forced induction vehicle before;my only turbo experience is with a Grand National a friend had in 1989-alot has changed since then. I've done ALOT of searching here and on some other sites, and have some questions for those of you in the know.
First, what do you guys think of dealer installed options such as their short shifter and boost guage(I believe perf. package #1) and the Subaru dealer installed "performance" exhaust? How about the factory subwoofer and speakers? I figured I would have the dealer do it and roll them into my monthly payments.
Second, I have read much about uppipes and am curious: I've heard that the Perrin pipe is superior to others because you don't have to have the turbo removed to install it, just jacking up the motor is sufficient. Any thoughts on that?
Third, I've read alot about the intake mod(s) that people here seem fond of...any thoughts on what part#'s I need to cover up the holes made by removing the silencer and what is the K&N panel (or other brand) part#?
Fourth, anyone have an opinion on use of the CRO2 system for use specifically with the intercooler sprayer?
Fifth, Has anyone used the boost controller from Dawes? It seems like a nice straightforward design-almost "goof-proof". Will this controller set off any CEL's and how do you reset the computer? What is the lightest set of rims out there now and where do I get them? I'm looking for 17" and possibly 18" if the ride doesn't turn into something approaching a "go-kart".
Any and all opinions are appreciated-Ied I figured I'd do my homework now so I can order the parts ahead of time that way I can purchase a WRX and have the parts waiting for me to be installed by the time I get home on leave. Thanks guys!

ESPN's Joe Beninati and Quint Kessenich debate the strengths and weaknesses of the Long Island Lizards. After a 2-5 start, LI has elevated their expectations by winning three straight and are in the playoff hunt.
Check out their past debates on the Boston Cannons and the Chesapeake Bayhawks.
Six Reasons why Long Island can win the Steinfeld Cup
1. Left-handed Larceny: Goalies have to be super tough on Championship Weekend, and right now Drew Adams (.575) is the man. He is the most difficult to score upon in the pro game.
2. Meet your Match: The Lizards attack trio of Matt Danowski, John Grant Jr., and Tim Goettelmann presents a match-up nightmare for defensive coordinators. More often than not, the rejuvenated "Monster" Goettelmann will have a defender he can bulldoze to the crease. Danowski and Grant Jr. are tough covers no matter who has them.
3. Pie in the Sky: Stephen Peyser (31 pts) has taken his offensive game to a new level this summer. He's always been explosive, but this year he stays fresh longer, and that could be a big boost playing on back-to-back days.
4. Defend 'til the End: The Lizards have all the defensive pieces necessary; it's a very long list. Nick Polanco and Brian Spallina still intimidate, Parker McKee measures up, Long Ellis is ready to be a starter, Ricky Pages is good in transition, Brian Karalunas has fit right in, and they have an excellent corps of fast and physical short-stick D mids in Mike Ward, Danny Cocchi, and Mike Unterstein.
5. Good Luck Charm: The best I can tell, Spallina and Gavin Prout are the only two players to hoist the Steinfeld *** four times. Spallina is not used to waiting this long (He last won it with Philly in '07), so he could be extra ornery in Annapolis.
6. Double trouble: The 2-point goal is alive and well on Long Island. I know that total-point production comes down in the playoffs, but if a late 2-pointer is required the Lizards have long-range capability. Danowski and Peyser have combined for a dozen long range bombs.
*** Joe refuses to call it the "Steinfeld Cup", insisting it's not a Cup but a trophy. I think he's jealous that Quint's monicker for the 40-pound trophy has become lexicon. And if you listen to ESPN shows, you'll notice that Beninati never calls it the "Steinfeld Cup", it's always Q.
Six Reasons why Long Island may not win the Steinfeld Cup
1. Too much reliance on headline midfielders Stephen Peyser and Stephen Berger. Peyser has emerged as an MVP candidate with 21 goals, and Berger has bagged 19, but the rest of crew is struggling: Keith Cromwell (hurt), Chris Fiore (5) and Zach Brenneman (2).
2. Transition defense: Long Island plays rookies Jay Card (Hofstra) and Ryan Young (Maryland) at midfield, and those natural attackmen sprint directly to the substitution box on a change of possession, leaving the Lizards vulnerable to fast breaks of the 4-on-3, 5-on-4 or 6-on-5 variety. Pushing the tempo pays off: The Lizards are 1-5 when surrendering more than 10 goals.
3. Gang Green has committed a league-high 55 fouls for 57 minutes after 10 games. The damage has been nearly two goals per game. With the EMO, LI is just 6 of 28 (21%). The Lizards are minus-14 in combined specialty situations.
4. Face-offs. FOGO Greg Gurenlian got hurt early in the 2011 campaign. Veteran Peter Vlahakis played in three games, winning just 29 of 75 draws. LI now relies on Stony Brook rookie Adam Rand (42 of 97 = 43%).
5. I'm old. I'm sore and I'm tired. Championship weekend favors youth and fresh legs. Athletes who can play two elite games on consecutive days. John Grant Jr. is 37 years old, Brian Spallina is 33, Nicky Polanco will be 31, Chris Fiore is 30, and Tim Goettelmann is an 11-year veteran.
6. The Lizards aren't straight shooters. The guys in green are shooting just 24% — good for fifth in the league. Meanwhile, Boston shoots the pill at a 29% rate, and Hamilton clicks at a ridiculous 33%.
Joe Beninati and Quint Kessenich cover MLL for the ESPN networks. You are guaranteed to see memorable things when you attend MLL Championship Weekend in Annapolis, Md., on Aug. 27 and 28. Southwest Airlines gets you there cheap.
