Patricia from A Little Hut wrote in about her new limited edition artwork and I'm so glad she did. When artists write to me asking for their work to be featured, I give them so much credit because I know how hard it can be to put yourself out there before a crowd. It's scary. You don't always know how you'll be received, who will come (if any) once the announcement has been made. I am absolutely flattered whenever someone takes the time to write in to show me what they do, so thank you Patricia.
Patricia's artwork is completely handmade using an original block print, printed on 100% linen with delicate embroidered details. There are three designs to choose from, all of which you can see on her website. Her company, A Little Hut, also has a small card collection for Spring, shown in the image above.
Don't you love this, handmade goodness from those that follow their dreams by launching a little business doing something they love? Raise a glass to Patricia everyone :clink: :clink: cheers to your lovely work!

I have had the case of the sniffles for the past couple weeks. It has not been fun. I'm someone who absolutely refuses to take medicine until it's absolutely necessary, especially antibiotics.
However, yesterday morning, I woke up completely frustrated with my on-going sinus issues and checked into the CVS Minute Clinic {after a lot of positive encouragement from Twitter, thank you!}. The wait took forever, but eventually I met with the {super nice} nurse practitioner who gave me some antibiotics and I was on my way. It may be all in my head, but after one pink little pill, of the 12 given to me, I'm feeling better.
Tomorrow will be a new day.
I hope you are enjoying your week,
P.S. If you are looking for some motivation, check out Katy's video about avoiding the comparison trap. I really enjoyed her words of wisdom!Pin It

I currently have 9 handguns, 1 rifle and 1 shotgun. I'm shopping for another handgun as we speak, (Model 10 S&W). The wife stopped concerning herself with my gun addiction long ago.
Just tell her that you need one for each day of the week, so you need one more.
There are two handguns in my household. For now...
Here are just a few....Not countin the 2 HK P7PSP, the HK P7M8, the Walther PPK (German made), the HK P30, the Tarusus Judge, and don't tell you wife about these.

man law #372 states:
The only limiting factor in how many guns a man may own is determined by the size of his gun safe. A man may purchase a larger gun safe if said safe becomes unsafe, out dated, or his buddy's is nicer than his. If wife damages safe due to anger over the number of guns inside of it, then she must purchase a new safe of greater size to compensate for embarrasement when buddies laugh at his beat up one. A new safe may be purchased if the old one was given to a family member as a gift. A man may own 2 safes if a buddy has purchased a new one and offers the old one to him as a gift. All safes may be stocked to within 95% capacity of firearms, and 5% ammo.

Buy once!
I am late on the draw with the "shoes & purse thing". But use that against her.
When my wife busts my chops about this kind of stuff (i also have a weakness for baseball cards and anything Detroit Tigers) I tell her that if this is all she has to worry about then she is in good shape. At least I am not at the bars and out with other women.
I own:
handguns = 3
rifles = 2
shotguns = 1
I know that this isn't a lot but every few months I am selling, trading, and buying something else. It is a viscous cycle.

On an island, in the land of Aztlan, stands a teocalli, like the temples of worship in Mexico.
Then he turned to view the teocalli, which he found not unworthy of his regard.
At a given signal, all three bodies of soldiers commenced to converge towards a single point, that being the teocalli.
In the midst arose the huge mound of the teocalli, menacing, formidable.
teocalli, among the ancient Mexicans a spirally-terraced pyramidal structure surmounted by a temple containing images of the gods.
Inside these were kept the idols of the gods to whom the teocalli was sacred.
Some cut themselves with knives, others climbing up to the summit of the teocalli flung themselves headlong down the staircase.
He was then conducted to a teocalli some three miles from the city of Mexico.
Such an erection was called a teocalli or "abode of the gods."
The Spaniards surround the teocalli and you will be killed or taken prisoner.'
1570s, from American Spanish, from Nahuatl (Aztec) teohcalli, literally "temple, church," from teotl "god" + calli "house."

No one, including Smithville head coach Keith Schrock, saw this coming.
The Smithville boys? Champions?
"We were last in the Wayne County Athletic League two years ago and seventh last year," Schrock said. "We have some good young runners ... the boys are up and coming if they stay with it."
To Schrock's surprise, the future came Saturday when the Smithies shocked everyone by winning their first McCay Relays title in nearly two decades. In fact, the Smithies' last boys title came back in 1985, which capped a three-year hold on the hardware.
"We only won three events, but we placed in every event," said Schrock. "We showed our balance. We had a bunch of guys (run well) -- it was a team effort. It was a typical track meet where you're a little disappointed in one area, then someone else guts one out."
The Smithies' three wins were key in ending Orrville's seven-year reign on the meet. Smithville scored 79 points to top the Riders (67), who slipped by Revere by two points. They were followed by Woodridge (53), Tallmadge (51), Triway (50), Buckeye (34) Norwayne (29), Fairless (7), New London (5) and Chippewa (2).
Smithville's three wins came on the track behind the same four runners. Derek Cramlett, Kyle Indermuhle, Nate Karhan and Kris Kendle hooked up to win the 400 relay (46.1) over Tallmadge, the shuttle hurdles (68.2) over Tallmadge and the 800 relay (1:37.8) over Orrville.
After that, Smithville relied on its depth and a trio of seconds to pull out the win in the 46th running of the meet.
"It's been an uphill battle," said Schrock, reflecting on the past couple years. "Coming into the year, I felt we had a good team and then we beat Loudonville, and then beat Orrville and Massillon a week ago.
"I'm not ready to say we're back, but it's a great start."
From Schrock's vantage point, it served as a learning experience, too, when it was time to accept the team trophies along with their female counterparts, who won the girls portion of the meet.
"Our girls were all lined up in a group," Schrock said. "They know how to accept a trophy. The boys were along the track, two here, three there."
Orrville picked up a trio of wins from its squad, starting in the pole vault as Justin Holiday, Tom Longworth and Nate Hartzler combined to go 32-0, with Longworth tying Norwayne's Zack Wiles for top honors with a vault of 11-6.
The Riders won the 1,600 in 3:37.3 over Norwayne behind the foursome of Brandon Troyer, Joe DeVault, Cody Rayl and Andrew Brown, while the Riders' foursome of Kelley Heater, Michael Shoup, Jonathen Sidle and Brown nipped the Smithies by a tenth of a second with a 1:40.7.
Triway won four events, winning both throwing events behind Jarrod Long, Matt Hess and Kevin Bicker. With Long throwing a career-best 50-5 in the shot put, the Titans totaled 136-11 to beat Orrville, while Long spearheaded the discus with a toss of 140-9 to lead Triway to a 398-7 total over Smithville.
"It was raining hard," said Long. "We were hoping to break the discus record, but with the rain it was hard. We gave it our best shot."
Despite the weather conditions, Long had a great day in the shot put.
"My best throw was Tuesday (48-2) and before Tuesday it was 46 feet," Long said. "Things are getting better and better."
With a trio of 18-foot jumps from Bryce Campbell, Tyler Chapman and Darius Wallace, Triway nipped Revere by four inches in the long jump with a combined leap of 54-6 1/2. The Titans tied for first in the high jump with Revere, going 16-9, with Joe McCartney, Hess and Bicker.
Despite the rainy weather, there were two records set. Woodridge's 6,400 relay won in 19:09.8 and then turned around and lowered the distance medley time to 9:56.5

Record crowd tipped for Stoner farewellMark Fogarty
Published: October 14 2012 - 3:00AM
REIGNING world MotoGP champion Casey Stoner's farewell appearance at Phillip Island later his month is on track to draw a record-breaking crowd.
With pre-event ticket sales at a record high, organisers of the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix are preparing for possibly the biggest attendance in the event's 15-year history at the oceanside circuit.
Stoner, 27, returns from a two-month injury lay-off in today's Japanese GP at Motegi, the first of two races before he defends his Phillip Island title for the final time. He is retiring after the season-ending Spanish GP at Valencia two weeks after the October 26-28 Australian GP.
His absence from Phillip Island next year is causing concern that the event will be nowhere near as big a drawcard over the final four years of the AGPC's contract.
With no Australian successor to Stoner on the horizon, AGPC chief executive Andrew Westacott admitted that a good show this year was vital to maintaining interest through to 2016.
''Experience shows that there's a drop-off [without a front-running Australian in the field]. When Mick [Doohan] retired in 1999, there was a drop-off of about 10 per cent from a crowd point of view after his departure,'' he said.
Bidding for a record sixth consecutive win at the swooping 4.4-kilometre Phillip Island circuit, Stoner's final race in Australia is expected to threaten the three-day crowd record of around 115,000 and the biggest main race day attendance of about 55,000, both set in the late 1990s at the peak of five-time world champion Doohan's success. ''Pre-event ticket sales are just light-years ahead of anything we've experienced,'' Westacott said. ''We're going to get a bumper crowd, probably in excess of 105,000-110,000 there across the weekend.''
Although attendance at the Phillip Island round of the MotoGP world championship, which was first run in 1989 and returned after six years at Sydney's Eastern Creek Raceway in '97, is dependent on the weather and will be further influenced by Stoner's performance in qualifying, Westacott doesn't rule out the title-holder's farewell ride in his home race attracting a record race crowd of 60,000.
''And we have the capacity to be able to cater for that size crowd. If it's up to 60,000, bring it on,'' he said.
Stoner, having missed the past three races due to injury, yesterday qualified seventh fastest on his Honda for today's Japanese Grand Prix. ''Physically I'm a little sore but not so bad. I'm just struggling to lift the bike out of the right-hand corners and it's making setting up the bike more difficult than it should be,'' he said.
Yamaha's MotoGP points leader Jorge Lorenzo took pole position after a record-breaking qualifying run of one minute 44.969 seconds, smashing the qualifying lap record of 1:45.267 set by Stoner last year. Lorenzo's nearest rival in the championship, fellow Spaniard Dani Pedrosa, was second fastest on his Honda. With AAP

USC's Startup Accelerator Targets 10 Companies, Starts In May
More details on the University of Southern California's new Viterbi Startup Garage, the brand new startup accelerator being backed by the United Talent Agency and Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, have emerged, with the school saying that it plans to provide grants and mentorship to approximately 10 companies for a 12 week session starting in May. The startup accelerator will actually based based at USC's Information Sciences Institute in Marina Del Rey.
The school said it started the accelerator because entry-level and accelerator opportunities in Southern California have "always been sparse", complaining that most graduates that ultimately spin-out and launch their own startups do so for the most part in regions other than Southern California.
USC said that the accelerator will be open to any USC undergraduate or graduate students or USC alumni who graduated in the past 5 years; at least one member of the founding team must be an enrolled student in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering or a USC Viterbi alumnus. The school said that applications for the first program will be accepted through Monday, April 22nd.
The effort isn't the first time that USC has linked with a Silicon Valley venture capital firm; the campus also has the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation, which has been looking to help spin out and create innovation on campus, which was funded by Sequoia Capital's Mark Stevens, a USC alumnus.

Entering Wednesday, he is batting .339, second on the team behind the red-hot Deik Scram. Skelton credits much of this success to working with Whitecaps hitting coach Benny Distefano during extended spring training.
"I had a lot of help with going to the opposite field, trying to hit the ball the other way," Skelton said. "After that, everything just came easy."
Things weren't always so easy for the 2004, 14th round draftee. As a skinny kid straight out of high school, he played his first two seasons in the Gulf Coast League and didn't hit above .200 either year. Skelton attributes lower back issues to the reason he struggled those first two years, and was determined to prove himself in 2006 at Oneonta. Fully healthy, his bat improved. Skelton hit an even .300 in 42 games in the New York-Penn League, belting 22 RBI and scoring 20 runs. He has only continued to improve since then.
West Michigan manager Tom Brookens has watched Skelton progress, having also coached him last year at Oneonta.
"He's probably got one of the purest swings of anybody on the team," Brookens said of Skelton's left-handed stroke. "He's got a real nice swing and makes good contact."
It is not only his swing and his average that has impressed Brookens. Skelton's discipline at the plate and grasp of fundamentals has caught the skipper's attention.
"He's a tough out. He doesn't give at-bats away. He puts the ball in play," Brookens said. "I know as a manager when we have men on base and I see him coming up, I don't care if it's a right-hander (pitcher) or a left-hander, I feel good about it because he has a solid approach at the plate and puts the ball in play."
In addition to his bat, Skelton is constantly working on improving his game behind the plate. He lists taking control of a pitching staff as one of his main goals for this season. Whitecaps pitching coach Ray Burris says that Skelton has done well at making adjustments with the pitcher on what the hitter is giving them at the plate.
"And that's the sign of an individual who wants to win," Burris said.
Brookens has noticed an improvement as well in Skelton's handling of the staff.
"From a year or two ago he has done better (at calling a game). He does really pay attention to that part of the game," Brookens said. He understands that if he is going to move up as a catcher he's going to have to learn how to do that better and he does do a good job."
A sweet swing and a solid defensive game happen to be the repertoire of the player currently holding the catching position with the organization's big club, a guy by the name of Ivan Rodriguez. As Rodriguez continues to climb in age, the club will be in the market for a new catcher within the next few years. While that may be on Skelton's radar, it does not affect how he handles himself or his game.
"I try not to think about what's going to happen in the future," Skelton said. "I try to go day by day, just out there working hard."
He has met Rodriguez, though, which Skelton called an honor, and has always admired his style.
"I always liked him growing up," Skelton said. "I wanted to be him and have his game. He was always a defensive guy who could hit .300, so if you can hit and catch that's a big plus.
"He's one of my childhood idols."
Skelton's physical makeup may give some pause in his ability to compete as a big-league catcher. Listed in the Whitecaps media guide as 6'1" and 185 lbs., Skelton has a thin, skinny frame not often seen with catchers. He is on a weightlifting regiment through the team to bulk up a bit, and is also on a special diet.
"They want me to eat everything," Skelton said.
He credits the weightlifting in helping him improve not only his defense, but his offense as well.
"In high school I wasn't really an opposite field hitter," Skelton said. "Now I'm actually driving the ball opposite field instead of just lazy bloopers. Lifting weights is a big plus."
Bulking up may also help Skelton add some power to his offensive game. He currently has only four home runs with the Tigers' organization, his first with the Whitecaps coming on June 1 at Lansing.
Looking back to his defense, Brookens does acknowledge that Skelton's frame can have an effect on his catching game, specifically blocking balls.
"They'll hit him and ricochet off him, I say it's like hitting a metal pole," Brookens said.
However, Brookens does not see Skelton's size as a main concern, pointing out that there is no rule that says catchers have to be a prototype big guy.
He also calls his arm strength average but progressing, and compliments him as an excellent base runner with above-average speed for a catcher who can steal a couple bases. Ultimately, Brookens says that Skelton's future lies in his own hands.
"He has the talent, it's really up to him how far he goes because we really like him and he's got something that a lot of catchers don't have, and that's a pure swing and a good approach," Brookens said. "He's a good kid and we like him a lot, the organization likes him a lot and we think he's got the potential to make it to the big leagues one day, we really feel that good about him."

PARIS (Reuters) - Slovakian teenager Anna Schmiedlova deprived Venus Williams of a likely third-round meeting with her sister Serena at the French Open when she beat the American 2-6 6-3 6-4 in the second round on Wednesday.

Hoping to protect his identity in the entertainment industry, Will.i.am is suing Pharrell over his use of the phrase, "I am."
According to legal documents obtained by Rolling Stones, the Black Eyed Peas member claims that he owns the copyright to the words "i am," and doesn't want them used in a way that could cause mixed signals to fans or anyone else.
He has a ton of irons in the fire, but it seems there's always room for one more hat on Will.i.am's hat rack.
The Black Eyed Peas mastermind has been made a partner over at memBrain Licensing, a Beverly Hills-based licensing and strategic marketing firm.
Though his week-long tour was designed to tout Britain, Prince Harry seems to have charmed everyone he's encountered while in the States.
At a fundraiser to benefit the red-haired royal's charity foundation on Tuesday night, will.i.am praised the young prince.
Hoping to echo the success of the original 2011 film, a new trailer for "Rio 2" hit the web on Tuesday (May 14).
The animated sequel follows Blu, Jewel, and their three kids in Rio de Janeiro. When Jewel decides the kids need to learn to live like real birds, she insists the family venture into the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit in with his new neighbors, he worries he may lose Jewel and the kids to the call of the wild.
He's always up to something cool, and Justin Bieber's latest project is a cameo for Will.i.am's newly-released music video for "#thatPOWER."
The "My Humps" hitmaker enlisted the Biebs for the project, but decided to try something new with a whole hologram vibe.
Showing some love to his French fans, Will.i.am showed up in Paris for some promotional duties last night (April 16).
The "Scream and Shout" stud hammed it up with some friends on the street while trying to forget that he's currently being accused of ripping a track from Arty & Mat Zo without permission for his own song "Let's Go."
Giving fans a treat for their ears, the new track from will.i.am and Miley Cyrus is available for a listen a day early (April 15).
"Fall Down" which will be released on itunes on Tuesday, will appear on the Black Eyed Peas member's upcoming album #willpower.
Just in time to help rehabilitate the Bieb's image, will.i.am and Justin's song, "The Power," hit the Internet on Friday (March 15).
The collaboration features the 19-year-old pop star singing the chorus, which includes the feel-good lyrics, "I'm alive and I'm lovin' every second, every minute, every hour, bigger, better, stronger, power."

Personalized Dachshund Christmas Stockings.
This is 18.5" Velvet Christmas stocking with a Dachshund photo wearing a festive Santa Hat !
Orders for Personalized Christmas Stockings placed today by 2 PM
Measured along the diagonal from the top left hand corner to the toe, the stocking measures 18.5 inches, and the width along the cuff is 7.5 inches.
Materials: The stocking is made from white velvet velvets with silver bling metallic twist rope on the cuff for that Christmas BLING BLING effect! The inside lining is from soft white polyester satin material. The cuff is trimmed with silver rope to give the Christmas stocking that special luxurious effect.
Lining: YES. This stocking is fully lined in polyester satin.
Names can be personalized on the cuff of this Christmas stocking with metallic embroidery thread to compliment the colors of the stocking and the design on the stocking.
The FREE personalizing option includes:
We have a sample picture of the stocking monogrammed in metallic embroidery thread ... click on the thumbnail image in the top right hand corner of this page to see a larger version.
Each name is machine embroidered with the first letter in upper case and the remaining letters in lower case.
For group orders of 2 or more stockings, we will do our best to adjust the font size of the letters so the monogrammed letters are uniform in size. Since the cuff of these stockings is narrower - we have about 4.5 inches width on the cuff to personalize your names. For example, if your order has the names Mom, Dad and Christopher, we will embroider the longest name first and then adjust the font size of the shorter names to match the font size of the longest name, otherwise the shorter names will appear to be disproportionately large. If you want the largest letters available monogrammed on the cuff, please specify SHORT versions of names, such as Mom/Dad/Chris instead of Mom/Dad/Christopher.
Please provide the names to be monogrammed on the stockings in the Personalizing box; separate each name with a comma. Select the font style in the Personalizing Method drop down menu.

How can I protect my assets from my husbands' ex wife?
Question Details:
I currently have a Will with my husband and my 2 children as beneficiaries. If my husband and I have our name jointly on things, i.e. car notes, second mortgage, time share, etc., if I die first, will his ex wife have the right to take a percentage for her children? If so, is there anything that I can do to prevent that from happening?
The ex-wife and her children would have no claim at all on your estate, none whatsoever, and it doesn't matter if you die before your husband or not, or whether you have a will or not.
If your husband dies first, all the joint assets become yours "by operation of law" at that time, whether or not there is a will and without probate, they never go into his estate, as long as you have set up the joint tenancy so there is survivorship. The ex's children can't touch any of that. The same happens if you die first, of course, the property all becomes your husband's.
There are two ways to keep the assets out of the ex's children's reach: one is for your husband to have a will that specifically disinherits those children. The other would be to put the assets into a trust (or matching husband-and-wife trusts) that is irrevocable, leaves the assets in your control during your life and then gives them to your children after both of you have passed on. This kind of arrangement has to be worded properly, but that's all in a day's work for a competent wills and trusts lawyer.

The Holiday Train will visit northeastern Pennsylvania on Saturday, November 27 at Steamtown National Historic Site in downtown Scranton from 6:00 – 6:30 p.m., and visitors are advised to plan to arrive at least 15-30 minutes early. Juno-award winner Melanie Doane, one of Canada's most talented and diverse musicians and entertainers, will provide entertainment on this year's train. The train will then depart Scranton for Binghamton, New York on the former Lackawanna Railroad's mainline, expecting to cross the historic Tunkhannock Viaduct between 7:00 – 7:15 p.m.
Now in its 12th year of operation, the program has raised more than $4.8 million and almost 2.3 million pounds of food since the first Holiday Train ran in 1999. Thousands of people gather trackside at depots, railroad crossings and other unusual venues along CPR's route to enjoy the arrival of the brightly decorated trains lighting up the winter night. The musicians, who ride in vintage private cars at the end of the 14-car train, hop out and climb aboard a boxcar in the middle of the train that opens to reveal a stage where they perform live holiday concerts and invite crowds to sing along. Canadian Pacific encourages visitors to donate money and/or nonperishable food items that, in the Scranton area, go directly to the United Neighborhood Centers of Northeast Pennsylvania. Additionally, the Canadian Pacific will present a check at each stop.
This year, the CP Holiday Train is launching an activity program aimed to increase awareness of hunger issues by making children part of the solution. "Decorate & Donate" is a fun and educational way for schools and families to help feed their communities. All donations raised in our community stay in our community.
It's easy to participate:
1. Print and decorate one or more of the Holiday Train designs available at the CP Holiday Train website (www.cpr.ca - click the Holiday Train link and click on "Decorate & Donate" on the right side of the screen). The more creative, the better!
2. Wrap your art around an empty box, big or small, to be filled with food or cash donations.
3. Take a picture of your artwork and send it to the CP Holiday Train web site – they will post it for you on the CP Holiday Train "Decorate & Donate" photo gallery.
4. Bring your filled "Decorate & Donate" boxes to the CP Holiday Train at Steamtown NHS on November 27 and present them to the United Neighborhood Centers representatives.
From I-81, follow exit 185 (Central Scranton Expressway) to Lackawanna Avenue, and follow the signs to the park entrance at Lackawanna and Cliff Avenues; remember to plan on arriving at least 15 minutes prior to show time! For additional information, "B-roll" video, entertainer bios and digital images, visit the Holiday Train page at www.cpr.ca.

In addition to the 30-credit-hour major, all students must complete a 6-credit-hour cognate minor in business management. Students may select from any of the following management courses:
|Course Number
|Course Name
|Organizational Change Management
|Process Improvement Management in Organizations
|New Venture Management
|Supply Chain Management
|Managing Business Creativity
|Managing the Communication Process
Other courses in the McCoy College of Business may also be elected upon advice of the graduate advisor acting in consultation with the graduate advisor for the College of Business.
All students are required by the Graduate College to successfully complete a comprehensive examination before graduating. In The Department of Engineering Technology this typically takes the form of an eight hour written examination. The examination will include questions from both the Technology Management major and the Cognate Minor. Students may not apply to take their comprehensive examination until 18 semester hours of the major and/or Cognate Minor have been completed.
It is critical that new students contact the Technology Management Graduate Advisor as soon as feasible upon admission to the program. The Graduate Advisor will assist the new student with transcript evaluation, identification of deficiencies, and specification of necessary prerequisite course work. The Graduate Advisor will also assist the new student in selecting appropriate courses for their first semester of graduate enrollment and with such substantive issues as degree audit preparation. Interested parties may contact the Graduate Advisor or the Engineering Technology Department Chair for information regarding the Master of Science in Technology Management Degree at Texas State University.
The majority of graduate level Technology Management courses are offered one-night-a-week throughout any given semester. This is done to facilitate the enrollment of working professionals who may hold full-time positions, and whose working hours tend to be during the daytime.
A limited number of graduate Research/Instructional/Teaching assistantships may be available from time to time. Research Assistants typically work with faculty on research and other special projects. Instructional Assistants are usually involved with instructing undergraduates in a laboratory setting. A Research or Instructional Assistant's workload will never exceed 20 hours per week. A Research or Instructional Assistant may become eligible for a Teaching Assistantship after completing 18 semester hours toward the masters degree. Teaching Assistants typically teach freshman level courses under faculty supervision. A Teaching Assistant's workload will never exceed two undergraduate classes per long term. Stipends available for assistantship positions will be determined by university guidelines. Those interested in applying for assistantship positions should contact the Technology Management Graduate Advisor for details and application instructions.

It's surprising how much we, as a community, think about what's happening in a woman's uterus. Focusing on your own reproduction makes sense, but what troubles me is when the business community wants to talk about it, too.
It seems impossible to talk about the advancement of women in business without someone dropping the word "baby" into the equation. It's high time companies take their eyes off our navels.
That is why I found Sheryl Sandberg's suggestion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, so disappointing. Ms. Sandberg, the chief operating officer at Facebook Inc. – and the unofficial figurehead for many women in business – suggested that companies should ask women directly about their family plans. Given that companies are naturally self-interested, how in the world does she imagine that this is a good idea?
Research consistently shows that even women who take little or no time out of their careers for children encounter "maternal wall bias," where they are viewed as less capable. According to research published in the Harvard Business Review, mothers are 50 per cent less likely to be promoted compared with childless women and will see their salary reduced by $11,000 (U.S.).
Ms. Sandberg's remark underscores her failure to understand the discrimination to which a woman may be subjected, said Natalie MacDonald, a partner at Grosman, Grosman & Gale in Toronto, and author of Extraordinary Damages in Canadian Employment Law.
"Disclosure of a woman's plan to have children at any time throughout the employment relationship, either during the hiring process or thereafter, could enable the employer to discriminate against her, by either terminating her employment, or treating her differently, both of which could have significantly negative repercussions for the woman," Ms. MacDonald said.
The inference of Ms. Sandberg's statement also appears simplistic. Will companies only ask these questions to married, heterosexual women? Will they also ask potential employees if they plan to care for aging parents or sick partners? What repercussions will exist if an employee decides to change her mind after being hired?
Each time business leaders focus on how reproduction affects women's work, the less seriously women are taken.
While business leaders focus on babies and their impact on productivity, governments wring their hands when we decide not to have children. Falling birthrates negatively impact a country's economy given that "today's babies are tomorrow's taxpayers," as one New York Times columnist astutely observed.
So when the U.S. birthrate plunged to a record low in 2011, pundits theorized on how to reverse the trend either by offering financial incentives or de-emphasizing our pre-occupation for happiness.
Not everyone views this trend toward fewer children as carrying dire economic results. Paul Ehrlich, a professor of population studies at Stanford University in California and well-known demographer, argues that falling birthrates in the developing world is "the best possible news."
"Babies in the developing world grow up to become super consumers," said Prof. Ehrlich, who argues in a Proceedings of the Royal Society online article written with his wife, Anne, that overconsumption by the rich along with overpopulation carries devastating results.
The solution, according to the Ehrlichs, comes down to granting women access to education, job opportunities and modern contraception (and back-up abortions if that fails). That gives countries the opportunity to take full advantage of women's brains.
Yet, we continue to find it challenging to separate the decisions of educated, professional women and what society expects their uterus to do.
Even Ann-Marie Slaughter, the doyenne of the movement and author of an Atlantic magazine essay, "Why Women Still Can't Have it All," recently wrote about the trend of University of Pennsylvania Wharton School graduates (men and women both) who appear considerably less likely to have children than they did 20 years ago. Ms. Slaughter, a professor at Princeton University, counsels graduates to reconsider this decision not to have children and suggests society must "redefine" success. I tend to agree, so long as "redefining success" is not code that mothers should be content with an average job.
We need to stop seeing women as either baby factories that generate our future work force, or as primary caregivers. Both images work to keep women out of the C-suite. For the record, I love my children more than anything but I'm more than just a uterus and the sooner that more people understand that, the quicker we can all get down to business.

I really want a newer 9-3x or 9-3 Sportcombi... does it make sense to buy Saab now?
Don't get me wrong. I'm the first person to say that just because a company is bankrupt and may not make new cars for several years doesn't mean you shouldn't buy one.
However... I've heard tales that there aren't enough parts for the newer model years. And so if you get in an accident, you may drive around with missing doors and roofs for a few months until you find one...and then you'll pay an arm and a leg for it. Is this true?
Also, prices... does it make sense to pay $28K for a 2011 9-3x with small miles? Or $18K for a 2010 9-3 Sportcombi with 35,000 miles? This is what I'm seeing in the greater Boston area. Does the "Saab-is-bankrupt, sell-me-your-car-for-cheap" argument work with the dealers? Or do they know that there are Saab enthusiasts that want to pick up one those rare last models sitting in the lots now that that dealerships have cut and run?
Let's put it it this way... biggest bang for the buck, what should I be looking at in a 9-3x or a 9-3 Sportcombi? Is there a better year for the money? What's the worst deal you can think of? The best deal?
I have to get rid of the ol' Beast.. my trusty 2001 9-3 which is still running even though if it was any other car, it would already by dead. Were it not for the fact that this car is a Saab, I would feel worried that the power steering leaks through about once every two days, and the car shudders at high speeds probably due to bad bearings or bent axle or something. But it plods on. Even though sometimes doesn't crank. And so I wait about 5 minutes, and then it cranks. Did I mention that since Sunday, it is loud as hell ever since the air condition briefly died on me while going uphill in 95 degree weather? It was originally an occasional growl... and the AC didn't work for 30 minutes... but now the AC works great, but the growl has become a continuous series of growls and roars, depending on my acceleration. And the car plods on!! haha....
Still.. it's time to move on. Must get a new car. This just isn't acceptable for passengers and the occasional use by my girlfriend. Especially the non-starting part... even though my repair guy set up a wire connection under the hood where I can jump the wire to the battery's positive terminal and it instantaneously cranks. She doesn't like to get her hands dirty, and she fears electric shock.
Time to get a new car...
I've thought about buying a Subaru Impreza or Outback.... but my lord, those cars are UGLY. And the Impreza wagon doesn't have Turbo unless you get that ugly WRX.
Help. Guidance. Suggestions please.

This thread is devoted to converting my Golf MK6 naturally Aspirated to Turbocharged. This is my 1st Vortex thread, and I figure it'll be somewhat of a diary (to start), but I'm also looking for conversations. I have a lot to learn and appreciate anyone with wisdom or well-intended opinions.
Please be civil.
Little background:
Fall 2011 - Bought used 2010 Golf MK6, and installed a Carbonio CAI, AWE Catback, and a few other small mods. Love the way the car sounds and pulls. No dyno. Had a tune from Speed Tuning in MD - waste of money.
Jan 2012 - Visited C2 in KY, drove the bunny, and spent a lot of time w/ Chris Collier. 1) The car was a monster! It was also beautiful. 2) Chris is the bomb. Very, very smart. Does amazing engineering work. He is very patient and an apt teacher. Would do business w/ him blind.
Feb 2012 - Moved East and found AP Tuning in PA. They sold / installed HEP SRI & UM Tune. Brought car and did the work. Took 4 days! (First MK6 & funky ECU...) But the craftsmanship at the APT crew is tops! They do serious work, are passionate, charge very fair rates. Dyno pull @ 180 / 165. Pulls strong and steady, and sounds like Frankenstein in a cave. Love that SRI.
June 2012 - Dropped my car off @ APT for a BW Turbo / UM Tune. Car's been there 3 weeks this Sat. Can't wait to see / drive it again.
Here's the setup on the install:
Bluewater Performance T3 Manifold: In-house / Made from Sch. 40 steel
V-Band equipped
Turbocharger: Precision T3 (was not given model #)
Turbo Intake Piping: 2 2.5 Stainless (medical grade)
Side Mount Intercooler (SMIC): BW SMIC / Treadstone Core.
Includes all necessary piping:
Tial 38mm Wastegate: Tial Sport F38 Wastegate (recirculated to DP)
Wastegate set to 10 psi
No Boost Controller *
Bosch 550cc High-Impedance Injectors
Forge 007 Diverter Valve
* I don't need a boost controller because, even if I could, I do not want to run more boost (yeah, you read that right). The 2.5 engine is supposedly OK to 300 wHP (according to: Blue Water, United Motorsports, AP Tuning, and Integrated Engineering). As you'll read later, power is only one part of the larger picture / objective.
In addition to the turbo installation and tuning, we added a Blue Water Oil Cooler kit and gauges (pods) for Boost, Oil Pressure, and Oil Temperature. We also added a Treadstone turbo blanket ** and heat wrap for DP to mitigate heat contagion to the engine bay and filtering into intake temps.
** Yes, I did a lot of research on the pros & cons of any turbo heat reducing equipment. The final logic was that reducing ambient charger heat was better for all other components (including the compressor) including oil. Speaking of oil, this blanket is designed to reduce central oil temps between the turbine and compressor. The only risk is coking (cooking) the oil in the turbine housing. But if the turbo is cooled down properly and not driven w/ insanity, it should be OK. (Hope the gauge reads oil temp relative to turbo area.) Worst case... I simply take the blanket off (when it's cool).
There are other mods we're doing such as upgrading the brakes to cross-drilled & slotted rotors, better pads, and SS lines. (I'm also having a large hole drilled out near the pedals in case I have to stop the car w/ my feet.)
Lastly, we're upgrading some bushings to try and firm the car up under heavy acceleration.
That's it for openers.

Ezra Zygmuntowicz -- Farewell, Friend.
Yesterday, I found out that Ezra Zygmuntowicz had passed away.
Ezra and I first met in the #Caboose family. The first time we got to spend time together, in person, was at RailsConf 2006.
(photo credit: Jarkko Laine)
A few weeks later, he emailed me to ask about getting a job here at Planet Argon. We couldn't afford him so he continued to pursue other paths… and a month later was helping found EngineYard.
(…one of those things that I still find myself asking, "what if we could have?")
Back when Planet Argon had a hosting department, Ezra and I collaborated on various deployment best-practice projects. He was always helping our team figure out how to make deployment easier. Some of us might remember his famous nginx configuration (the closest version I could find). He was an active contributor in the Ruby on Rails Deployment group that I started. He was always around to help the community.
Ezra always seemed to find time for the community… whether on mailing lists, at conferences, commenting on our blogs, or chatting over IRC.
When Ezra and his family moved to Portland, we made several half-assed attempts to schedule time to catch up again in person. It never happened and our interactions were limited to keeping up on Facebook
His passing is a great loss to our community.
To his friends and family, I am sorry for your loss.
To his son, (should you ever discover this), your father helped pave the way for hundreds of thousands (if not millions?) of software developers around the globe—whether they know it or not. He was constantly looking for innovative ways to solve problems. His talks at conferences were always fascinating… and the rest of us would sit back and think, "where does he come up with these ideas?!"
He was a trailblazer.
He will be missed.
Thank you for everything, Ezra.
Update: If you would like to contribute to the memorial fund for Ezra's son, Ryland, please visit this campaign on indigogo.

Linkin Park Will Tour With Thirty Seconds To Mars
As Linkin Park adds Thirty Seconds to Mars to the Carnivores tour on August 8. In an interview with Billboard.com Linkin Park explanins. "We decided to poll our fans to see who they'd like us to tour with, and five or six times in a row I think Thirty Seconds to Mars has either been the most popular band they wanted to see us tour with or #2. I've never seen them out of the top three. So it's been a long time that our fans wanted to see us tour together."
Mike Shinoda also described the Carnivores tour production as "more-video based," incorporating James Jean's artwork for The Hunting Party. "It adapts with the show," Shinoda explained. "I think in the context of a live show it's important to have something that lives and breathes with the show… One of the challenges that I posed to the production team was… if we decided to play something different, if we decided to extend a part, whatever we decide to do, I want the artwork to change with the performance. So it needs to be malleable."

The Who Wants Your Videos
The Who's 50th anniversary is coming up, and to celebrate they're calling on their fans to send in their videos. Rolling Stone reports that the band is asking for video and audio footage, bootlegs of live shows, photos and more to be submitted as part of the anniversary celebration. The band will then pick from the pool of artifacts and select the best to include in forthcoming anniversary-related releases — with credit, of course. The fans who submit such treasures will be given two VIP tickets for the band's upcoming tour as well. Fans with worthwhile Who memorabilia should email the band at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wovenwar Release New Video For All Rise
In an interview with AllMusic, Gilbert talks about All Rise, stating, "That song, the lyrics were written by Shane and detail his past struggles in the music industry. A lot of people took them as relating to our situation, but it's written by Shane and painting certain people in the industry as vampires who are there to suck the life out of you to make a buck."
The bassist continues, "That song is cool and anthemic because you can really apply the chorus to any sort of situation or whatever that you're trying to overcome. That song came together really fast; it was the first song we had a proper demo for, and Shane came and stayed with me and we wrote the lyrics and melody for it in one night, recorded the whole thing, and it was the first moment where we really realized that things were going to work with the new band."
ICP Juggalos Go Too Far
Two juggalos have been arrested for attempted murder and assault after reportedly deciding that their housemate, a fellow Insane Clown Posse fan, had disrespected the Detroit duo.
According to DelmarvaNow, Paul Martin Hurst, 33, and Cary Lee Edwards, 35, brutally attacked housemate Zachary Swanson, 31, leaving Swanson with fractures to the nasal area and face, 11 broken ribs, a lacerated liver and bleeding in his brain. Additionally, the two alleged attackers also tried to carve an Insane Clown Posse tattoo off of Swanson's arm, also setting the arm on fire.
The charging documents in the case state that the burning was "an attempt to remove a tattoo that Edwards did not believe that Swanson earned." Sadly, due to the violent attack, Swanson's arm had to be amputated below the elbow.
Billy Corgan Planning A Multi-Volume Collection
In a new posting, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins writes, "My next planned release will be the start of a multi-volume collection of home demos from 1985-1990, which, if those who work for me can be believed, has over 800 titles to consider."
"A word of caution, as these 'works' are all over the place in terms of quality, etc, as I was just a kid of 18 when I started making my own recordings; and not only do my influences show a little too hard in places, but so do my inadequacies as a sound engineer. To help avoid confusion then over what would be on the records, short sound clips of every release will be made avail; as many are instrumental or 'vibey' in nature and may not appeal to everyone (I didn't really start singing my own songs until I was 19)."
