There are many students who would like to scale the heights of the academic ladder but they are held back by financial hardships. Students in such a situation can get themselves out of the situation if they get grants for college. Grants are free monetary gifts to the students pursuing higher education.
Grants are different from student loans as the beneficiaries are not required to repay. They are also different from scholarships which are mostly provided by certain groups to specific people. Scholarships are usually restricted to certain lines of study and the beneficiaries are usually students with exceptional grades.
The Pell grant is one of the most popular forms of grants. It is a financial aid that is provided by the federal government to help offset the cost of post-secondary education for the families who are in dire need of financial help. Information on Pell grants can be found at the guidance offices at the educational institutions that students plan to attend. The application forms can be found online. Beneficiaries of the Pell grants are not required to repay them after withdrawing from schools or graduation.
Other types of grants are
- Private grants
- Minority grants
- State grants
- Grants for disabled persons
- Grants for women
- Military grants
- Grants for students from disadvantaged grounds
Grants for college are available even for the students who are not qualified for a full amount. Partial grants are provided to students who come from families whose finances fall within the eligible range for grants. Grants have application deadlines that are in advance of a corresponding school year. However, the deadlines are not fixed. They vary depending on the type of grant and the providers. There are grants for college reserved for incoming freshmen whereas others are reserved for graduate students or upper classmen.
If you are preparing to seek a grant, be prepared to devote a lot of your time to the application exercise. Most grant applications are lengthy and they have a lot of requirements. Some of the grant requirements may include:
- Financial statements
- School transcripts
- Essays
- Personal statements
- Reference letters
Grants Hunting Tips
Students who are interested in getting grants should start researching about grants and applying early so as to beat the quotas. It is wise to apply to different institutions. Grants for certain projects might not be available in one state but they can be found in other states hence it is advisable to be flexible and try different places.
Students should extend their search for grants even to unlikely sources such as the companies that their parents work for, and special alumni grants at the colleges that they intend to attend.
Other helpful tips when searching for college grants:
1. Application for grants to school financial advisors may fail to cover all the needs. It is sensible to place applications to as many grant sources as possible so as to cover most of the college expenses.
2. Write a grant application in the best way possible as this is the way to convince the grant providers of your qualification. They reject many grant applications because of poor writing, spelling and skipped sections.
3. Write your application in an enthusiastic way that easily communicates the reason for choosing a certain course and future hopes. Enthusiasm shows dedication.
4. If a photo is one of the grant requirements, it is wise to take a new one in a pose that will create a good impression. A passport sized photograph is preferable due to the official nature of the application.
5. Ask someone to read through the grant application and determine if it has errors.

How can I get over having an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy?
About two years ago my husband and I decided it was time to try having a baby. About two months after that I began having horrible stomach cramps and, long story short, I found out it was an ectopic pregnancy. Even though I put on a brave face and told everyone that it didn't bother me, I was devastated. I was lucky enough to avoid surgery (barely) but it was still hard. For the past year my husband and I have been trying again, but we haven't had any luck. It's just so hard to know that I was so close to what I want so much but instead of it being a joyful experience it's just a painful memory. How can I finally move past this and just be excited about what the future holds?

Im so sorry about your ectopic pregnancy.
Can you find someone in your area who does mother blessings? I truly believe that once a woman is pregnant she is always a mother, you are a mother to a soul a tiny soul that changed you. A mother blessing will allow you to let go and release your ectopic fetus back to the universe. Once you can let go and release then your body and soul can make room for what is to come.
I do hope that you can release your fears and welcome what the universe has planned for you.
Peace and much love.

When people say, "It's what's inside that counts," they're either talking about a sandwich or reciting the world's most unimaginative accounting firm slogan. Get in on the conversation with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for $20 worth of California-style deli food
- $20 for $40 worth of California-style deli food for 4 or more people
A triple decker turkey club sandwich is $12.99, a natural grass-fed backyard BBQ burger is $12.79, an artichoke-heart salad is $10.99, a roasted half free-range chicken is $14.99, and vegetable lasagna is $12.99. The entire menu is served all day.
The Nosh of Beverly Hills
The Nosh of Beverly Hills resolves East Coast–West Coast rivalry with a unique formula: it's a blend of New York–style deli and health-conscious California diner. The result, as the restaurant's website puts it, is "a place for people to meet and talk and nosh." Groups gather over three meals a day, with special dietary menus and plenty of health-centric options to make everyone feel welcome. The chefs take pride in their baked goods made without the use of preservatives, their from-scratch salad dressings, and, especially, their sourcing: all meats, including free-range chicken and turkey, grass-fed burgers, and Niman Ranch roast beef, are completely free of hormones and antibiotics.
Breakfast specials kick off the morning with some lox and cream cheese on a signature bagel or a south-of-the-border treat, such as the breakfast enchiladas. At lunch, the deli serves a repast of triple-decker cold-cut sandwiches alongside a selection of melts. Those who spelunk deeper into the extensive menu will find such dinner eats as grilled salmon served on a bed of Israeli couscous, New York steak with sweet potato, and a brisket plate. This comes alongside a full slate of classic deli staples, including matzo ball soup, pastrami and corned beef, and organic house-made hummus and falafel—all washed down with organic coffee and tea. Parking at the restaurant is free after 6 p.m.

The Peasants' Revolt of 1381
by R. B. Dobson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
4026. The Peasants' Revolt of 1381, by R. B. Dobson (read 22 May 2005) This book, published in 1970, is a compilation of contemporary or near contemporary accounts of the Peasants' Revolt. Fortunately most such accounts are in languages other than English so one did not have to wade thru old English very much. The accounts are not too interesting. The revolt lasted a very short time and the repression was less fierce than it might have been. I did not enjoy the book much but I now know more about the event than I did.

Dear sisters and Brothers,
It is very important for us to build a connection with the Quran. NOT ONLY must we read the Quran, but we must also understand the guidance of Allah (swt) contained within it. In the early stages of our approach to the Quran, reading the translation in ones own language is okay. But, as a Muslim, one of the most important objective of our lives should be to learn the language of the Quran... Read More

ISO/IEC 27001 Certification
ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard that provides the basis for effective management of confidential and sensitive information, and for the application of information security controls.
It enables organizations to demonstrate excellence and prove best practice in Information Security management. Conformance with the standard requires commitment to continually improve control of confidential and sensitive information, providing reassurance to sponsors, shareholders and customers alike.
Re-released in 2013, ISO/IEC 27001 builds upon established foundations as the most widely recognized international standard specifically aimed at information security management. The adoption of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a strategic decision driving the coordination of operational security controls across all of the organization's electronic and physical information resources.
The standard can be integrated with other management system framework standards, such as the quality standard ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 20000 for IT service management.
ISO/IEC 27001 provides a model to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve a risk-managed ISMS. The design and implementation of the management system is tailored to the organization's objectives, information assets, operational processes and governing legal and regulatory security requirements.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the formal specification and defines the requirements for an ISMS. It includes:
- ISMS planning, support and operational requirements
- Leadership responsibilities
- Performance evaluation of the ISMS
- Internal ISMS audits
- ISMS improvement
- Control objectives and controls.

Flu Season Picking Up in Ga.
Winter weather is not the only thing picking up in Georgia right now.
Flu season is also kicking into high gear.
District Two Public Health Spokesman Dave Palmer said that health officials in Georgia are seeing an increase in the number of flu cases across the state.
Palmer said that seeing that is normal for this time of the year.
"Normally about this time of the year, we do begin to see more cases," said Palmer. "Normally flu peaks in Georgia in January and February, so it is time for us to start seeing more activity if we are going to see it."
Palmer went on to say that the flu strain that seems to the most prevalent right now is one that the medical world is already familiar with.
"The dominant stream is the H1N1, which we saw in 2009," said Palmer. "That strain of flu is included in this year's flu shot, so if people have not gotten their flu shot, now is a great time to go and get it."
Flu shots are available at the Stephens County Health Department, among other places.
Palmer said there are other things people should do to help prevent the spread of flu.
"Preventing the spread of germs is one of the best ways to stop the spread of the flu," said Palmer. "You can do that by washing your hands often, covering coughs and sneezes, staying home if your sick and not letting your child go to school if they are sick."
State health officials said that the peak flu season is usually over by late February or early March.

But, one very good thing that has finally arrived to Still Maybe Studios is the beginning of a new body/series of work. And I could not be more happy with the results.

How long should this take and am I in for a hell of a ride?
I have to change out the POS leaking heater core in my 2003 S-10. Just how much of a pain in the butt will I have to deal with and how long will it take approx? If only it where like they did them till the late 80's where it could be accessed at the firewall. Now everything has to be so annoying to get to on new vehicles. :rolleyes:
bumper sticker
The more I am around modern cars the more I like a Model T Ford
Just bypass it at the water pump. you really dont need heeat.
hahaha,this is off topic i know but i just changed the oil and filter on a masda 626 . hahaha.i had to take it to a friends shop to grt it high enough to get to the dang filter. what a joke. i hate workin on these dang imports.or anything with a dadburn computer.
Classic American Muscle is the way to go.....
They usually are NOT fun, and not impossible the question becomes, what do you want to spend . I have done three in my life a 66 vet , full size chevy and a cad eldo ........... hours of time on your head and cramped working environment ...
The chilton labour guide quotes 7.2 hours with a/c
have fun
all data shows 4.1 if under warranty, other wise 8.9 hours.
once you get the right wheel well, all the related wiring disconnected, the dash board and evap housing out, it isn't too hard to do.
you also have to drain the refrigerant from the A/C system.
with no air tools and if you haven't done one before, i would guess around 10~12 hours start to finnish.
when you do it, be sure to use the right screws in each hole. some are longer than others and if a long screw goes in a hole for a short screw, it can cause problems such as binding the temp door.
This why I am stepping back to an old car, my 59 Rambler for my daily driver. See the box on the firewall? It's the heater core, you could change it in about 15 minutes with a friggin adjustable end wrench and a screw driver without so much as a drop light!
Man do I love that car. Apparently I am just not smart enough to work on the late model stuff. My Rambler is simple like me!
hey, get that old rambler back on the road. what a hoot it would be to have it for a daily driver. i like all the old stuff.
I am not a mechanic, I don't have the skills to keep these late model cars going. But this Rambler, crap, even I can trouble shoot and fix it!
Nice Rambler Brian. A buddy of mine has one, 59 with the Continental Kit. He installed an 85 Iroc front Subframe with SBC350/TH350, Built new front fender wells & firewall, floor & trunk pans etc.. Had alot of rot, sat under Pecan trees for (many) years. I haven't seen it in a long time now, don't know if he finished it or not. I'll snap some Pics if I get by there anytime soon. That's the best Rambler body style I ever seen, grill looks like a 55 Chevy.
I changed the heater core in my 1999 GMC Jimmy over the course of 4 days, working on it part time either before or after work (I worked 3rd shift at the time), and it was pretty much a PITA. I did it myself and flushed and cleaned the core myself which is all it needed, it wasn't leaking- just plugged. I couldn't see replacing something like that only because it was plugged as it cost more than the radiator. I also had to install a filter in the heater supply hose and ended up emptying it every 3-4 weeks of all the accumulated junk that complete cooling system flushes didn't get out.
I found our right after buying it (just a month before the flush and clean) that someone had added Ethylene Glycol antifreeze right in with the old Dexcool junk and it reacted badly.
Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll have to just be patient about it. At least I can do bits at a time over the work week to help shorten the time needed for getting it done on the weekend. I got the part already and simply have it bypassed at the moment.

Allice To Be Inducted Into The USTFCCCA Coaches Hall Of Fame
July 18, 2013
USC's recently retired Director of Track & Field Ron Allice will be inducted into the USTFCCCA (United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association) Hall of Fame as a member of the six-man 2013 class it was announced today (July 18). Allice will be honored at the 2013 USTFCCCA Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Monday, Dec. 16 at the USTFCCCA Convention in Orlando, Fla.
Coaches are selected for their significant impact on the history of track and field at the collegiate, national and international levels through their coaching and the legacies of their student-athletes and will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame for their accomplishments. It didn't take the organization long to select Allice who just announced his retirement on June 8 after the 2013 NCAA Championships where he guided the USC men's team to a fifth-place finish.
During his 19-year reign as USC's Director of Track and Field Allice led the men's and women's programs to a combined 25 NCAA top 10 finishes, including the 2001 NCAA women's team title, as well as 32 individual NCAA titles. Complementing the 32 individual NCAA titles, Allice has produced 286 All-American first team selections, including 13 this year, and six conference championships. The program has also produced 18 of the 21 women's school records in the Olympic events and eight of the men's 21 records, not an easy task considering the glorious track and field history at USC.
Allice also excelled on preparing the athletes for international competition and careers in track and field and maintained, if not strengthened, USC's strong Olympic tradition. A USC student has represented the Trojans at the Olympics 54 times under Allice, winning 16 medals.
Among the many male track and field stars to come through his program are 1996 Olympic gold medalist in the hammer throw Balazs Kiss, who also set the NCAA Championship meet record, two-time Olympic 400m IH gold medalist Felix Sanchez and Bryshon Nellum, a 2012 silver medalist in the 4x400m.
Allice's women's teams featured powerhouse athletes who starred on the national and world stages, including such greats as Angela Williams, who won an unprecedented four NCAA 100m titles (1999-2002), national record-setting and four-time NCAA title-winning hurdler Virginia Powell (2005-06), Natasha Danvers, the 400 IH NCAA champion in 2000, NCAA 800-meter champion Brigita Langerholc (2001) and 2000 Olympic medalist sprinter Torri Edwards.
Started in 1995, the USTFCCCA Coaches Hall of Fame exists to recognize coaches who have brought great distinction to themselves, to their institutions and to the sports of cross country & track & field. Each of the honorees exemplifies the qualities of dedication to the sport, leadership and passion for their profession that serve as an inspiration to coaches everywhere in the sport. The rest of the 2013 coaches class to be inducted into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame in December are Al Cantello, Dennis Craddock, Curtis Frye, Jim Hunt and Paul Olsen.

fiberglass doors on steel body?
I'm getting ready to continue working on my project after it's sat dormant for a few months.. last things to go on the body are 4 panels to enclose the new door openings ( made the door openings smaller ), and build doors... I got thinking that, it would be easier for me to get fiberglass doors 'right' faster and easier than metal doors.. by building a wood framework, fitting it to the door openings, and then skinning it with luan plywood and then fiberglass.. is this a good idea or, should I just build the metal doors?
Depends on what you are most comfortable with and what you have available. Personally, I would try to reduce the size of the metal doors you are going to replace because of reducing the size of the original openings. I am more comfortable working with metal than wood/fiberglass and I prefer the lasting integrity of metal fasteners in metal than in wood/fiberglass.
the body is completly custom built, so I have no doors.. I had the body built like I thought I wanted it. then after looking it over, it looked too tall, so I channeled it 6", and then the doors would have extended below the frame, so I built a 6" rocker area, and put in some peices to make rear cab corners, which are 3-4" IIRC..

Featuring Allyson Newton Ho
May 13, 2014
May 13, 2014
On April 23, 2014, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in CTS Corp. v. Waldburger. The question in this case is whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit correctly interpreted the preemption provision of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) to apply to state statutes of repose--which typically impose a final time limit for bringing suit a certain amount of time after the defendant took action--in addition to state statutes of limitations, which simply impose time limits based on when a particular cause of action accrues.
To discuss the case, we have Allyson Ho, who is a partner at Morgan Lewis.

Hopkins dominates Murat; Quillin, Wilder victorious
By Rick Scharmberg and Kurt Wolfheimer at ringside
Photos: Tom Casino/SHOWTIME
48-year-old IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (54-6-2, 32 KOs) scored a twelve round unanimous decision over mandatory challenger Karo Murat (25-2-1, 15 KOs) on Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Murat was busier early on, but Hopkins became more aggressive in round four and was willing to trade with Murat. Hopkins kissed Murat twice during a clinch in round five. Murat was deducted a point by referee Steve Smoger for hitting on the break in round seven. By round eight, Hopkins seemed to be looking for the KO, showing total distain for Murat's punching power. Murat landed some good shots in round nine, but Hopkins looked much fresher down the stretch. Hopkins could be heard saying "I need the knockout" in his corner before the final round, and he tried, hurting Murat several times. Murat slowed Hopkins' attack with some late fouls. Scores were 117-110, 119-108, 119-108.
WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (30-0, 22 KOs) retained his title with a tenth round TKO over Gabriel Rosado (21-7, 13 KOs). Quillin got off to a fast start and dropped Rosado in round two, but Rosado rocked Quillin at the end of round four and got back into the fight. The bout turned again when a Quillin jab opened up a cut over Rosado's left eye in round nine and the fight was stopped due to that cut in round ten. Time was :40. Rosado complained bitterly about the stoppage.
Unbeaten heavyweight Deontay Wilder moved to 30-0 with 30 KOs after demolishing Nicolai Firtha (21-11-1, 8 KOs) in four rounds. A game Firtha came out aggressively, but was dropped twice in round one. Wilder laid him out in round four with a left hook.
Braulio "Unstoppable" Santos (11-1, 10 KOs) dropped David "Thunder" Clark (6-3, 4 KOs) with a brutal right hand – left hook combination in the first round of a scheduled eight round featherweight bout. Clark rose on unsteady legs, and referee David Fields ruled him unfit to continue at the 1:49 mark.
In the opening bout, former National Golden Gloves champion Dominic Wade (12-0, 10 KOs) dropped Roberto Ventura (12-9, 12 KOs) three times, stopping him at 2:08 of the opening round in a scheduled eight round super middleweight bout.
Zachary Ochoa (5-0, 3 KOs) used his reach advantage and his jab to box his way to a unanimous decision over Michael J. Doyle (2-6, 1 KO) in a four round junior welterweight contest. The scores were 40-36 and 39-37 (twice).
Wellington Romero (1-0) won his pro debut, taking a unanimous decision over Victor Galindo (1-3) in an entertaining four round junior welterweight bout. All three judges scored it 40-36.

This decision means the Victorian budget will be one of few worldwide with a surplus, writes Steve Bracks.
One of the strengths of our Government is a commitment to financial responsibility. We have delivered strong surpluses every year, investment is at record levels, and the state's AAA credit rating has been restored and reaffirmed during our term.
For some time we have been clear that external factors have put significant pressure on Victoria's financial position. We have a responsibility to meet those challenges and make the right decisions for the future of Victoria.
That is why we have been forced to fund the Mitcham-Frankston Freeway by a toll.
I apologise to the people of the eastern and south-eastern suburbs who accepted our promise there would be no toll. But I also made a promise to those people - and the rest of Victoria - that we would never compromise this state's financial position. We will not.
We had to accept the reality of dramatically changed circumstances. The extent and scale of the extra pressures on the budget was not known at the time of the last budget - or the last election.
We have faced the worst bushfires in Victoria's history, at a cost not only in fighting the fires but in the recovery of the communities affected. The worsening drought means that now more than 60 per cent of the state is drought-affected, and 1 per cent has been reduced from the gross state product.
The continued deterioration of international markets and the impact of the Iraq war on the world economy has led to a write down of at least another $350 million off the budget surplus since early this year.
The single biggest impact on the bottom line of the budget is the failure of the privatised public transport system. Last December National Express handed back the keys after losing hundreds of millions of dollars because of the flawed privatised model.
There is no doubt the system is performing better, in terms of punctuality and reliability, under private ownership. But the level of Government subsidy is insufficient at present to make the system viable. An extra $1 billion over the next five years alone is needed to keep Victoria's public transport system afloat. These costs are unavoidable.
The combined impact of these extra pressures on the state's finances meant the Government had to make a difficult decision. The decision to fund the Mitcham-Frankston Freeway by a toll was not made lightly, but it is the responsible decision for the future.
We had a choice between stubbornly sticking with our position on tolls - or recognising the reality of the impact of the pressures on the budget.
We had a choice between funding the freeway without a toll - or keeping our commitments on health and education, protecting the environment, and keeping the budget in surplus.
This decision was made by cabinet's Expenditure Review Committee last week and approved by cabinet yesterday morning.
It will mean the road will proceed on time and will be completed by the end of 2008. It also means all other election commitments can be met.
We will not be following the previous government's model of road closures and tolls on existing roads. This will not be another CityLink.
There will be no tolls on existing roads, and no roads will be closed to funnel motorists on to the new freeway.
The toll will be electronic, and the costs will be comparable with CityLink tolls.
This was a difficult decision for the Government. But it means the Victorian budget will be one of the few in Australia - and around the world - to remain in surplus.
It is the right decision for the future.
Steve Bracks is Premier of Victoria.

The 110cc segment in the Indian scooter market has been a hotbed of activity ever since Honda set foot in the market after parting ways with Kinetic Two Wheelers, and has been holding the number one position since, with its Activa. When SMIL landed in India in 2004 as a sole subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, it concentrated on the 125cc scooter segment instead of running for the top spot in the 110cc category. Eventually, it received an overwhelming response from the market, being the only manufacturer to produce a 125cc automatic scooter at the time.
Now, Suzuki is aiming to acquire a hefty share of the 110cc scooter segment as well, with its Let's scooter which is slated for launch in March 2014. The Japanese manufacturer currently sells two scooters – the Access 125 and the Swish, both powered by a 125cc engine. When the Let's was first showcased to the media and then at the Auto Expo 2014, it was clear that the company has been realigning strategies for the Indian market, offering really competitive products.
The Let's scooter's styling seems to be derived from the shape of an arrow (sharp and aerodynamic from start to end), with noticeable Suzuki design traits. The scooter enjoys mid-size proportions that are comfortable for both men and women. Deeply cut silhouettes on the front apron under the scooter's clear lens front indicators flow down in a straight line, giving the Let's a handsome look. The scooter gets a clear lens and halogen-equipped headlamp which is similar to but smaller than the one placed on the Access. Analogue gauges are well laid out with an easily legible speedometer, odometer and an offset fuel gauge set around other predictable icons. Good quality control levers, switchgear and functional mirrors are a delight on this new scooter. The ignition key unit is a one-stop spot from where the scooter seat bay can be opened as well. The scooter also gets a locking system that cuts off key entry via a shutter, restricting access when required. The solitary bag hook is placed in the centre just under the handle, making for an easy access to mount baggage.

Adding a light
I'm adding a new wall light to my bathroom, and would like to either run it off existing switch to main light - or add a new switch next to old one. The old switch has just the one 12/2 with power. (I'd like to avoid daisy chaining the lights together - as access is poor). Thanks for any help. :confused:
So now that we know what you want to do and what you want to avoid...what's the question?
- i forgot that part! :)
how do I wire off of the existing switch? Or can they be run off of the single switch - if so, how? Thanks!
Some older homes are not wired in accordance with current codes and may contain wiring schemes unlike that I described. If the existing wiring scheme is different from what I described then you'll need a different wiring schematic for the new light.
I've got a single pole switch - with the hot (black) on the bottom and the white neutral into the top of the switch, and the ground...... that's it. Thanks.. :)
That being said, you'll either need to
a. runl 14-2 from the new fixture directly to the existing fixture or
b. run 14-2 from the existing fixture to the switch box and from the switch box to the new fixture.
Pipeguy....If I went with your 'B' - how would the switch wire up? I've tried it a couple ways - with no luck as of yet.... thanks for any suggestions!
b. run 14-2 from the existing fixture to the switch box and from the switch box to the new fixture.
The switch wiring doesn't change.
At the existing light fixture: splice the new white conductor to the existing neutral wire (it's white, it hooks to the light and it does NOT go to the switch) and splice the new black conductor to the existing wire that comes from the switch (from what you said earlier it'll be white but it might be marked black or red).
At the switch box: splice the two new white conductors together and splice the two new black conductors together.
At the new fixture: connect the new black and white conductors accordingly. Don't forget your ground wires. I think this is the same as the 'daisy chain' circuit you referred to earlier.
Thanks - Looks like I'll be heading for the attic! :)

Suppose I have a very complicated function TestCodazzi and

TestCodazzi[0, x, y] //FullSimplify /. {x->2, y->3}
returns a totally different answer. Now, there is a lot going on and I
could start testing different parts of my code. However, could
Mathematica show me the instances where it was making certain

Nashville pros on how entrepreneurs can beat the odds
Nashville Business Journal
Feb 24, 2012
With resources like the Nashville Entrepreneur Center and the entrepreneurship centers at Belmont University, Vanderbilt and other institutions, local business leaders feel Nashville is on course toward becoming one of the top destinations in the United States to start a company. But with most new ventures failing in the first five years, how does an entrepreneur ensure his or her idea survives beyond the startup phase?

Hair troubles
I'm growing my hair out for the first time and it is getting to about medium length.. Not long enough to part yet though.
At the end if the day, my hair just gets really frizzy and no longer looks curly.. Help? I use mousse to keep it frizz free, but that only works for a little bit.
I will attach some pictures to slow what it looks like at the end if the day.
Thanks :)
Try using eco-styler gel or curl enhancing smoothie, which can be found at Target. Or you could use Kinky-curly curling custard which works sooo well, but it's kinda expensive. They sell the custard at Target as well.
what hair type are you? Are you just using mousse? I found mousse to be quite drying on my 3c, coarse, normal porosity hair
If you do decide to try out any of the shea moisture line, Walgreens online have a BOGOF for those products
Do you use leave-in? I coat mine in leave-in when it's soaking wet and then plop. I think right now I'm using Garnier Triple Nutrition DC on my ends and the parts exposed to surface air and Beautiful Curls Leave-in and Detangler (the one for "babies and up"-it's really light :icon_smile:) on the rest. It gets sort of heavy and congealed if I don't do it when really wet, though. I think I sort of have to let the excess conditioner get patted out.

How Much Water to Drink? 8 Water Facts and Questions Answered (Page 2)
Do I Need 8 Glasses of Water a Day?
The Institute of Medicine says adult men need about 13 cups (3 liters) per day of fluid; adult women need about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of fluid. (You get about an additional 21/2 cups of fluid from foods.)
"But one size doesn't fit all," says Leslie Bonci, R.D., C.S.S.D., director of sports nutrition at the Center for Sports Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and dietitian for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Your size and activity level affect your fluid requirements. Simply put, the larger and more active you are, the more you'll need.
"The easiest thing that anybody could do on a daily basis is monitor their urine color," says Douglas Casa, Ph.D., A.T.C., who studies hydration at the University of Connecticut. "Lighter urine color—like lemonade—means you're generally well-hydrated. If it's darker, like apple juice, you are most likely dehydrated."
Older adults' fluid needs don't change, but they're more likely to become dehydrated because their sense of thirst declines. Pregnant women and nursing mothers need slightly more water. Some medications, such as antihistamines and certain antidepressants, increase your fluid needs too.

^ Same was here few months ago. I try to use once but did not because of Opera. Not sure how much Opera is important now and should we miss all those great icons because of Opera browser.
Damn, that sucks, they are ubersexy but I'm not gonna give up on them so easily.
Are you hosting the font files on your server or are they located somewhere else? Opera allows to disable referrer and some services which offer these kind of fonts doesn't serve the correct stylesheet if the referrer is wrong/not set
They are on my server. Even locally they won't show. And on the official site is the same. Does't work well with you?
I'm using them on my latest theme without any trouble on Opera (at least on my machine) so don't give up
I don't remind doing anything special to make them work… I grabbed them at fontello.com which is a really useful toll.
Hm… Fontello icons work fine. Will be using those, tnx a lot!
Just to make clear: the icons are from the Entypo set, but I packed them with the fontello.com service. Cheers!
Yeah, got that. Tnx

PATIENTS have long complained of doctors who seem mechanistic, lacking the human touch. Now researchers in Wisconsin have found that in some circumstances at least, machines may actually do a better job.
The researchers, from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and the Dean Foundation for Health Research and Education in Middleton, studied efforts by primary care doctors to diagnose mental illness.
Previous research had shown that doctors often have difficulty detecting mental problems, in part because patients usually visit doctors with ''symptoms suggestive of a medical condition while volunteering few psychological complaints,'' the researchers said. Besides, they said, primary care doctors may be unsure of what questions to ask to discern mental illness and may not have time to ask many questions anyway.
The researchers, led by Kenneth A. Kobak of the Dean Foundation, studied a diagnostic method called Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorder (Prime-MD), in which patients fill out a questionnaire and are then asked further questions by an interviewer. In the study, diagnosis rates for mental illness were similar whether the interviewer was a person or a laptop computer -- with these exceptions: patients were more willing to admit symptoms of alcoholism and obsessive-compulsive disorder to the machines.
The scientists said it was not clear whether the difference reflected underdiagnosis by the human doctors or overenthusiasm for the conditions on the part of the laptops. CORNELIA DEANContinue reading the main story

Chevrolet Volt Lures Customers from Other Brands
The Chevrolet Volt is converting Prius faithfuls to the bowtie brand as nearly seven in 10 new Volt buyers trade in a competitor's vehicle to get one, according to Chevy.
"I owned a Prius for six years and loved it. I was one of the first to sign-up for the plug-in (version)," said Steve Glenn of Santa Monica, Calif. "While I was waiting for it to ship, I learned that the Volt would qualify for the HOV stickers, so I did a test drive. I fell in love then. It's faster, better appointed and gets far better gas mileage than the Prius (or the plug-in). I've driven it over 1,000 miles and I've only used five gallons of gas."
The Volt is pulling new customers in to the brand, thanks to its unique technology and added perks such as government incentives and HOV lane access. In a survey conducted by Chevrolet, 93 percent of Volt owners claim that they would buy the car again. Chevy claims that the Toyota Prius is the most traded-in vehicle of people who opt for a Volt, followed by the Toyota Camry, Honda Civic and BMW 3 Series.
The Volt is peaking interests and pulling in new customers, so despite the controversy surrounding the car, it is raking in some new customers for Chevrolet.

Robot brothers.
Today Gabe is wearing a white t-shirt, red shorts, and brown flip flops.
Last fall, when we were running the Spark Notebook Kickstarter, I spent days upon days on Twitter. We would tweet at people who were tweeting about other planners, and say, "Hey! I saw your tweet about ___ and thought you might like this project too!" and then link them to our Kickstarter.
When we first started, I was terrified I'd get a barrage of replies being like, "Hey stop spamming me."
But do you want to know something crazy?
No one ever said that. There were maybe three people who replied saying, "Aren't you worried people will think this is spam?". And then I'd write back and say, honestly, "Most people just seem to either ignore it or be excited to have been alerted to a project they really do like." And then those people would write back and say, basically, "Oh okay, carry on."
So the consequence I thought would occur from spending all day on Twitter didn't occur.
But a different consequence did occur. And that consequence was that I lost my mind.
There is something crazy-making about copy-pasting the same phrase over and over into a Twitter box for several hours a day. It's boring, but demands your attention. You can do it while listening to an audiobook or watching TV, but you can't totally engage with the other thing.
And it is completely, overwhelmingly, unstoppably addictive.
Even after 4 hours of tweeting while watching Law and Order, with my eyes drooping and my legs screaming for me to move them and take my body outside, I would think, "Okay, well I'll just clear this page and then I'll go."
So I would clear the page, scroll down to reveal a new list of names, and think, "Okay, well I'll just clear this page and then I'll go."
Is this what it feels like to be a robot? If so, then I don't blame them for always taking over in those movies and books where robots take over. I wouldn't want to be a robot either.
Anyways, we are selling the Spark Notebook again. The print run is happening next month and they'll be delivered in June. But final orders are due in next week, which means I'm back on Twitter. Always. And forever. Every second of every day, until next Tuesday.
If you want to buy one, the email alerts I get telling me that there's been another sale are basically the only punctuation during days of tweeting and law-and-order-solving and listening to the new Jon Ronson book that I actually listened to in less than 24 hours because it was so good and, like, what else was I going to do? But that's not important.
What's important is that I am losing my mind, but there is an end in sight. Oh, and then there's this picture of Romeo from Easter which is great:

Amphibians for 20 gal?
Hello, i just recently cleaned out my 20 gallon tank and I was very interested in getting some reptiles or amphibians. just wondering about your preferences on the subject, because to be honest, i have no experience with the subject of reptiles and amphibians.
My budget is not that of a king and my experience isn't the greatest.
thanks for any feedback in advance.
I thought that newts were fairly happy in smaller tanks, but a 20gallon would be as small as I would feel comfy with. You could probably have a few.
Dart frogs would work, too!
I'll be interested in seeing what others suggest too!
i'm a frog guy, so of course i'm gonna say put frogs in it!! or better yet, a paludarium of some sort!!

A leopard Gecko : D Or froggies
There are so many great beginner herps. You can decide what environment you want to maintain and build, and let that dictate what herps you want to look into.
Rainforest terrarium: anoles, grass lizards, etc are a great choice for beginners.
Rainforest vivarium: green tree frog, whites tree frog, red spotted newts, fire bellied toad, FB newt, paddle tail newt,
Desert: maybe a leopard gecko (maybe a larger footprint would be better)
Good luck and feel free to bounce questions back and forth once you get your species picked out!
A cast of vampire crabs and a group of millipedes. I guess they aren't amphibians or reptiles though.
Thanks everyone for all the ideas. I have begun to research some of them and i am really liking some of them. thanks!
Get a pacman.
You will probably have the best luck with species that are native to where you live. and herps that only need a water bowl will be easier than a water feature.
--at least to start
common toad
tiger salamander
grey tree frogs (a favorite)
leopard frog
wood frog
there is really no advantage in keeping exotic species if your budget is tight and experience low. even the common toad can be a great source of entertainment and delight in a simple cage. Make it a fancy cage with live plants and you will learn a ton and enjoy the tank more.

Kevin Levin authored an interesting post recently at Civil War Memory. He notes the following quote from Civil War Talks: Further Reminiscences of George S. Bernard and His Fellow Veterans (A Nation Divided: Studies in the Civil War Era):
The results have been many and far reaching, but none more striking than the growing conviction among thoughtful minds of the world, those of the North included, that the people of the South, however unwise or inexpedient may have been their act of secession, were, under the circumstances that surrounded them, justified in resorting to arms to maintain the right of their States to withdraw from the Union, if they saw fit, as they did to exercise this right. But it is proper to add here that the same omnipotent power, in His infinite wisdom has allowed future events so to shape themselves that all now regard the question of secession as finally settled against the right as claimed by the seceding states and no people of our re-united country are more loyal to it or would go further to defend it than the people of the South and especially the Confederate veterans.
Kevin, along with some of his readers, seem to have the misconception that this attitude among Confederate Veterans, as well as their descendants, is "overlooked." In Kevin's circle of associates, I would tend to agree that this sentiment and tradition is "overlooked." That's not necessarily a criticism - just an observation. But among those of us who are actually descended from Confederate Veterans, and who have grown up in the South and been immersed in her culture, this is hardly anything new or unknown. I've written about it before. Others have as well. In Long Gray Lines: The Southern Military School Tradition, 1839-1915 author Roy Andrew, Jr. writes of the Southern military ethos and notes that . . .
". . . the military tradition in the South is not dead. The Citadel, VMI, and other military colleges and preparatory schools continue to flourish. The corps of cadets continue as distinctive and colorful aspects of several southern land-grant colleges. Southerners have not abandoned the idea that military service instills in youth the values necessary for the moral health and vigor of a democracy. These features of the modern South should serve as a reminder that the exaltation of military virtues is not confined to Prussian autocracy or European fascism. Militarism has shaped the American national experience. It may have helped lead the way into wars and imperialism, but it has also informed republican notions of citizenship, patriotism, and moral virtue. In turn it has adjusted and evolved in American history to accommodate the demands of liberty and equality. (Source here.)
|Scots-Irish Migration Across the South
Another important element of this ethos is the influence of the Scots-Irish in the South. This cannot be overstated. No one better understands this than Virginia Senator James Webb. Though the influence of the Scots-Irish is not confined to the states which comprise the old Confederacy, it is here where it has always been most prevalent:
Their unique soldierly traditions formed the backbone of the country's military, particularly in the Army and Marine Corps. In the Civil War, they formed the bulk of the Confederate Army and a good part of the Union Army as well, and in later wars they provided many of our greatest generals and soldiers. Stonewall Jackson comes to mind, as do Grant, George S. Patton, and a slew of Army chiefs of staff and Marine Corps commandants. Not to mention Sgt. Alvin York, the hero of World War I; Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier of World War II; and David Hackworth, one of America's most decorated veterans of Korea and Vietnam. The intense competitiveness that makes them good soldiers also has produced a legion of memorable athletes, business leaders and even such completely American pastimes as NASCAR racing, which evolved. from the exploits of the daring moonshine runners of the Appalachian Mountains during Prohibition.
Webb also understands the contrasts and contradictions which seem to perplex Kevin and others who share his perspective:
The traditional Scots-Irish culture, like America itself, is a study in wild contrasts. These are an intensely religious people - indeed, they comprise the very heart of the Christian evangelical movement - and yet they are also unapologetically and even devilishly hedonistic.
They are probably the most anti-authoritarian culture in America, conditioned from birth to resist. (It is interesting that Rosa Parks, whose refusal to move to the back of the bus sparked the modern Civil Rights movement, speaks of her Scots-Irish great-grandfather.) And yet they are known as the most intensely patriotic segment of the country as well.
They are naturally rebellious, often impossible to control, and yet their strong military tradition produces generation after generation of perhaps the finest soldiers the world has ever seen.
They are filled with wanderlust, but no matter how far they roam, their passion for family travels with them. Underlying these seeming contradictions is a strong unwritten code of personal honor and individual accountability. (Source here.)
These contradictions explain, in part, what at first glance appears to be irreconcilable ideals: the South's fierce opposition to Federal dominance and over-reaching authority, as well as it's undying patriotism - both of which continue to this day. Part of this is evidenced in the chart below:
"New recruits are also disproportionately likely to come from the South, which is in line with the history of Southern military tradition . . . The South accounts for more than 40 percent of new enlistees—a proportional overrepresentationhere.
The disproportionate number of commissioned officers hailing from the South would lead one to reasonably conclude that the leadership of the U.S. military will be, for the foreseeable future, from Southern states. And, as I've mentioned before, the South, though fiercely patriotic and supportive of the United States military, continues to manifest it's "anti-authoritarian culture." This trait is a particular annoyance to a number of academic historians:
". . . the Confederacy is to this day the greatest conservative resistance to federal authority in American history . . ." ~ David Blight
They simply do not get it. I'm of the persuasion that many can't get it. I've seen this seeming contradiction in my own family. My two grandfathers were only two generations removed from their own Confederate ancestors, yet both served proudly in the United States military - one in WWI and the other in WWII. Both saw combat, the former receiving a personal letter of commendation from President Woodrow Wilson. The one who served in WWII proudly displayed a Confederate battle flag in his home until the day he died. My father in law had a similar experience - the grandson of a Confederate soldier, he lied about his age when he was sixteen so he could join the army to fight in WWII. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge where he was wounded and received a Purple Heart.
Many Confederate Veterans (as well as their descendants) did indeed become loyal to the United States after Appomattox and served the country with distinction. Consider the following:
- Four former Confederate generals served as generals in the U.S. Army during the Spanish-American War: General Fitzhugh Lee, General Joseph Wheeler, General Thomas Rosser, and General Matthew C. Butler.
- After Appomattox, 15 former Confederate officers served as U.S. ambassadors or ministers to foreign countries.
- After Appomattox, seven former Confederate officers served as the adjutant general of their states.
- Former Confederate General E. Porter Alexander was appointed by President Grover Cleveland to arbitrate and supervise the surveying of the boundary of the Panama Canal.
- Three former Confederate officers: Colonel Lucius Q. C. Lamar, Sergeant Major Horace H. Lurton, and Lieutenant Edward D. White, were all appointed justices of the United States Supreme Court.
- Three former Confederate generals served as U.S. Commissioners of Railroads, one of the most important posts in the United States government in the post-war period: General Joseph Johnston, General James Longstreet, and General Wade Hampton.
- Stonewall Jackson's doctor, Hunter Holmes McGuire, returned to Richmond where he became chair of surgery at the Medical College of Virginia. He served as president of the American Medical Association and numerous other organizations. He also founded St. Luke's Hospital and Training School for Nurses, helped found the Medical Society of Virginia, and started the College of Physicians and Surgeons, later University College of Medicine.
- One of Nathan Bedford Forrest's great-grandsons, Nathan Bedford Forrest III (April 7, 1905 – June 13, 1943) was a Brigadier General of the United States Army Air Forces.
- One of the most colorful (and successful) WWII Generals, George S. Patton, was the grandson of Confederate Colonel George Smith Patton, who died in the Battle of Opequon in 1864.
- There are eight major United States military posts named for Confederate officers, including one for General Robert E. Lee.
- Descendants of Confederate Veterans (specifically, the SCV) donated what would become the Manassas National Battlefield Park to the National Park Service.
And that is just a tiny sampling.
Allow me to share a story told to me by my friend and fellow SCV member, Gary Casteel which not only illustrates much of my point, but also illustrates some of the frustrations and justified anger that many of us who embrace our Confederate heritage have experienced. The quotes aren't exact but, I believe, reflect the overall accuracy of the incident.
As many readers here may already know, Gary is a world-renowned artist and sculptor whose work graces many of our nation's most historic parks and grounds - including Gettysburg. A few years ago, he caught quite a bit of flack and criticism for sculpting a *statue of Jefferson Davis and a slave boy by the name of Jim Limber whom the Confederate President had taken into his home. As John Coski explains:
The Davises clearly assumed responsibility for him and there was obviously affection between him and his sponsors. It is less likely that he was "adopted" in any meaningful sense. The evidence suggests that he was a member of the Davis family in the same way that slaves, servants, and other dependents were members of white families—with real mutual responsibility and affection.
Gary was commissioned by the Sons of Confederate Veterans to sculpt a statue depicting Davis, young Jim Limber, and Davis's son, Joseph. The statue brought the usual carping from the usual sources. Gary's own character and credibility was unfairly impugned. At the time this work was being completed, Gary lived in Lexington, Virginia. He related to me how that one day he received a phone call from one of the city "leaders" (name not important) criticizing him for the Davis statue - even subtly insinuating the controversy tarnished Gary's "patriotism." Gary responded by reminding his accuser with words akin to the following:
While you were sitting on your ass in a college classroom thanks to a student deferment, I was having mine shot at in Vietnam - don't lecture me about patriotism.
If I recall correctly, those words ended the conversation.
Those of us who hail from the South and who are descended from Confederate soldiers have no reason to hang our heads or explain anything. Quite the contrary. Our ancestors, and many of the sons and grandsons who followed in their footsteps, have built and defended this great nation for generations and we will continue to do so.
* Gary also recently sculpted another statue. See details here.

well, i went cruising yesterday after i picked up my STi. i did the "mototune" break in, so dont kill me for not breaking my car in. anyways-
i see an audi tt following behind me on the expy, so i punch the gas a little, and he doesnt bite. i exit the expy, and he follows, 2 more turns, and he follows, and then gets in the lane next to me at a light. he looks over, we give each other the nod. light turns green, i dont launch, but when it catches, i floor it. i hear him spinning his tires. just after i shift into second, i look over and see his lights at my front door. look over after shifting into third...and well...he was 5 cars back. owned. with 3 people in my car
later, this new Si cuts me off...then i see black crap spew out of his exhaust (he downshifted and floored it). i hit it, change lanes, and proceed to pull on him like he was standing still.
my friend was really looking for some action, so im behind an rx-7 with a fart can. we pull up at the light...he looks over...my friend is pointing down the street (to signal to race), and he just says "one of my turbos is bad" so i take an easy launch then floor it...he was 3 cars back (he didnt take it very slow for a car with a bad turbo), then 4 then 5...then i slowed down, and he flew by me...i think he was spooked at the light?
all in all...good fun. ive never had that much fun driving before. its actually cool to have people want to race you...and know you have one worthy of racing
