7 Ways to Kick Start Your Hustle Efforts
Success comes to those who don't wait and go out and get what they want. And if you don't want to be a person who waits for things and gets the things left by those who hustle, become a hustler yourself. This new habit is pretty easy to form. Just believe in yourself. Be determined. And learn the ways of putting yourself out there. So, let's kick start your hustle efforts.
Here are 7 ways to kick start your hustle efforts:
1. First things first, do your homework
Have a specific type of client in mind that you'd like to work for. Start doing your homework to find out where they hang out at. There's no sense in marketing yourself if you're in the wrong areas.
If you want to work for local clients, look for coffee shops, office supply or book stores, or other places your prospective clients hang out at. Don't forget about online places like Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, forums, or other message boards.
2. Put together a plan of action
Once you put together a bunch of names and information on your prospective clients, it's time to start putting together a plan of action. For example, to cut the amount of time you spend on email outreach, create a template which later you'll be adjusting so it's personalized to them. You might only save 2-3 minutes on an email, but after you send 100-200 of these, you'll see how much time you can actually save over the year.
"Action is the foundational key to all success." – Pablo Picasso
3. Now you contact them
If you're writing an email, go ahead and send the emails out to everyone, as fast as you can without feeling like you're missing something important. If you want to call the prospective clients, make sure you've made some quick notes on paper so you can look at them in case they ask questions like, for instance, how you could boost their profits.
And this is where your expertise and planning goes into action. Point out (quickly) a couple of areas that you could improve and that you'd love to sit down with them for a free coffee (on you of course) to discuss things a bit further.
4. Use Google to find work
Another way you can hustle yourself and find extra work is by googling. I didn't mention this in the above places because I feel like it's severely underused and I'd like to shine a little bit more light on it. The method of finding work here is simple, yet effective.
If you're looking for blogs to design, search Google for "keyword blog" and start looking at every result that comes up. If you feel like you can help make their blog better, find their name and contact them with your skeleton email that I mentioned above. I'd personally go through the first 5-10 pages in order to make sure you've got enough contacts out there.
Out of every 20 you send, you'll generally get 5 or so responses and if you're a smooth enough talker, you can land a couple of sales. Not bad for an hour or so of leg work, right?
5. Start working on free stuff
A great way to get your name out there more as well as show off your skills is to put together some freebies. For writers, you could release a free guide that gives tips to people you'd normally like to work with. For designers, you can release design freebies on sites like Design Moo.
This will allow you to build a reputation as a skilled freelancer, plus you'll get backlinks to your website which is always good and could land you some extra work from people who might want something you've customized a bit (this happens a lot with WordPress developers and xhtml/css coders).
6. Sleep less
Listen, I know a lot of people out there feel like they need 8 hours of sleep in order to function, but in reality, it's just an excuse that people use in order to work less. If you're not where you want to be in your life, you're going to have to change something. Watching less television and youtube videos is a great start, but by cutting out a few hours of sleep every night, you'll be able to accomplish much, much more.
When you sleep less, you'll be able to get emails sent out at night so that way you're on the top of the list in the morning when people open their inboxes. This will increase your open rates and will hopefully land you some more sales. All while your competition is sleeping.
"I've got dreams that is worth more than my sleep." – Eric Thomas
7. Study your competition
Speaking of your competition, are you studying what they're doing? If not, you need to be. A lot of business owners talk about how they don't care about what anyone else is doing, but in reality they do and if they're not personally checking it, they've got a team watching the trends.
By seeing what your competition is doing and building on their successes and making your offers better, you'll be able to stay one step ahead of them.
You can also learn a lot about the direction the market is headed by studying your competition and seeing what they've done right and wrong. Don't worry about what they're doing now – think about what they're going to do in the future and do it first. Put yourself in their shoes and think "what would I do next?" and then go do it.
How are you kick starting your hustle efforts? Please leave your thoughts below!
Sleep is important for an active and productive mind. If u sleep less than you're suppose to, you will feel dead during the day. What's hustling when your brain cells and nerves are starved of sleep?
I'd agree with you on the sleep pattern, those hours could be used for something more effective. What are your thoughts on a sleep plan to reduce your hours of sleep?
Almost a year ago I used to sleep for 9 or 10 hours and I was sleepy the whole day and couldn't so all things I'd planned to do. So, I decided to get up 30 minutes earlier than usual. I did it for for a week or two. Then I reduced this time by 30 minutes, after a week by 30 minutes again, and so on till I found my optimum of 6 hours and a half.
Kim I am kickstarting my hustle by working smarter. I am saying no to more things which leaves me time to do my most important tasks. I don't quite agree on sleeping less because your energy will drive your results. I would however recommend not sleeping past 8 hours. I find 7 hours is my optimum.
Well, for some 7 hours of sleep is quite enough, for some 5 hours, and some 12 hours isn't enough. So, I guess the latter should sleep less. But generally, yes I do quite agree with you on this.

So long as markets require rules to operate, those writing the rules
matter most, writes Dani Rodrik, professor of
international political economy at Harvard
University. Only democratic politicians can make the
world safe, and economists should refrain from
denigrating democracy and the rule of law, he argues
in this commentary, provided to Fortune by Project
Safe Place for (Democratic) Politicians
At a recent launch of my new book, The Globalisation Paradox, the
economist assigned to discuss it had an unexpected
"Rodrik wants to make the world safe for politicians," he huffed.
His point was illustrated by his reminding the audience of the former
Japanese minister of agriculture who argued that
Japan could not import beef because human intestines
are longer in Japan than in other countries.
The comment drew a few chuckles.
Who does not enjoy a joke at the expense of politicians?
The remark had a more serious purpose and was evidently intended to
expose a fundamental flaw in my argument.
Allowing politicians greater room to manoeuvre was found to be a
cockamamie idea by the economist, who assumed the
audience would concur. Removing constraints on what
politicians can do would result in silly
interventions that throttle markets and stall the
engine of economic growth, he implied.
This criticism reflects a serious misunderstanding of how markets
really function. Raised on textbooks that obscure
the role of institutions, economists often imagine
that markets arise on their own, with no help from
purposeful, collective action.
Adam Smith may have been right when he said that, "The propensity to
truck, barter, and exchange is innate to humans."
A plethora of non-market institutions is needed to realise this
propensity. Consider all that is required.
Modern markets need an infrastructure of transport, logistics, and
communication, much of which is the result of public
investments. They need systems of contract
enforcement and property rights protection. They
need regulations to ensure that consumers make
informed decisions, externalities are internalised,
and market power is not abused.
Markets also need central banks and fiscal institutions to avert
financial panics and moderate business cycles. They
need social protections and safety nets to
legitimise distributional outcomes.
Well functioning markets are always embedded within broader mechanisms
of collective governance. That is why the world's
wealthier economies, those with the most productive
market systems, also have large public
Once it is recognised that markets require rules, the writers of those
rules must be determined.
Economists who denigrate the value of democracy sometimes talk as if
the alternative to democratic governance is decision
making by high-minded Platonic philosopher kings,
the ideal economist.
This scenario is neither relevant nor desirable. For one thing, the
lower the political system's transparency,
representativeness, and accountability, the more
likely the rules are to be hijacked by special
interests. Democracies can be captured too, but they
remain the best safeguard against arbitrary rule.
Rule making is rarely about efficiency alone. It may entail trading off
competing social objectives such as stability and
innovation or making distributional choices. These
are not tasks that should be entrusted to
economists, who might know the price of many things,
but not necessarily their value.
The quality of democratic governance can sometimes be augmented by
reducing the discretion of elected representatives.
In well functioning democracies, rule making power
is often delegated to quasi-independent bodies when
the issues at hand are technical and do not raise
distributional concerns.
This is the case when log rolling would otherwise result in suboptimal
outcomes for all or when policies are subject to
short-sightedness, with heavy discounting of future
An important illustration of this is provided by independent central
banks. It may be up to elected politicians to
determine the inflation target, while the means
deployed to achieve that target are left to the
technocrats at the central bank. Even then, central
banks typically remain accountable to politicians
and must provide an account when they miss the
There can be useful instances of democratic delegation to international
organisations. Global agreements to cap tariff rates
or reduce toxic emissions are valuable. Economists
have a tendency to idolise such constraints without
sufficiently scrutinising the politics that produce
It is one thing to advocate external restraints that enhance the
quality of democratic deliberation, by preventing
short-termism or demanding transparency. It is
another matter to subvert democracy by privileging
particular interests over others.
The global capital adequacy requirements produced by the Basel
Committee, established in 1974, overwhelmingly
reflect the influence of large banks. If the
regulations were to be written by economists and
finance experts, they would be far more stringent.
Alternatively, if the rules were left to domestic political processes,
there could be more countervailing pressure from
opposing stakeholders, even if financial interests
are powerful at home.
Despite the rhetoric, many World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreements
are the result not of the pursuit of global economic
wellbeing but the lobbying power of multinationals
seeking profit making opportunities.
International rules on patents and copyright reflect the ability of
pharmaceutical companies and Hollywood, to name two
examples, to have their way. These rules are widely
derided by economists for imposing inappropriate
constraints on the ability of developing economies
to access cheap pharmaceuticals or technological
The choice between democratic discretion at home and external restraint
is not always a choice between good and bad
policies. Even when the domestic political process
works poorly, there is no guarantee that global
institutions will work any better. Often, the choice
is between yielding to domestic rent seekers or to
foreign ones; in the case of the former, at least
the rents remain at home.
Who becomes empowered to make the rules required by markets?
The unavoidable reality of the global economy is that the principal
focus of legitimate democratic accountability still
resides within the nation state.
I readily plead guilty to the critic's charge: I want to make the world
safe for democratic politicians. Frankly, I wonder
about those who do not.

National Weather Service Honolulu Forecast Office
What does this program measure?
The Max/Min Temperature Unit records 24 hour Maximum/Minimum temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. The Standard Rain gauge records 24 hour rainfall in hundreds of an inch.
How does this program work?
The data is measured manually by MLO personnel and and relayed to the Honolulu Forecast office by telephone through the ROSA system.
- A 20-cm rain gauge is recorded 5 times per week at MLO.
- A 20-cm rain gauge is recorded 1 time per week at Kulani Mauka.
- A rain gauge and tipping bucket are measured continuously at MLO.
Why is this research important?
The temperature and rainfall data are transmitted daily via telephone to the Honolulu Forecast office through a network called PRONET which is entered in the AWIPS computer bank to be used as a forecasting aid.
Are there any trends in the data?
The data are used by the Forecast Office as a guide in updating their forecast. The data are mainly used as "real time" data.
How does this program fit into the big picture?
What is it's role in global climate change?
Same as above.

It really did happen overnight. If you haven't heard my story or know my name I am the yoga teacher who dared to ask a student to turn off her cell phone in class. This student happened to be a Facebook employee, the class happened to be at the Facebook Fitness center in Menlo Park and she happened to ignore my request and started typing away—in the middle of class.
I just looked at her, I wouldn't call it a "glare", nor a "dirty look" as you may have read. I paused in talking and just looked, for about one Mississippi. I was surprised. I didn't need to say anything; I had made the general announcement at the beginning of class to turn cell phones off, saying more wasn't needed. She got the message and finished her work email outside and came back to class a few minutes later.
When I was hired by Plus One to teach at Facebook the cell phone in class issue came up. I was told by my manager that I could ask the students to put cell phone on silent, off or "airplane" mode during my class. This is what I did.
This student chose to ignore my request. To me, that is rude. There was no discussion with my manager about what to do if the student did use their phone in class. So is it rude to point out that someone is being rude? I don't think so. I stand by my actions and it was clear to the student that I asked for phones off. It was not an emergency. From what I have heard and read people are sick of cell phones being everywhere.
My look, according to my termination papers, was embarrassing to the student. That was not my intention; I thought it was the least disruptive way to handle it. I didn't think that incident wound get me fired. I will just say it was not my favorite place to teach yoga, let's leave it at that. So that's what I did, it's done, I can't undo it. I don't want cell phones in my classroom, period. I understand there are some rare exceptions.
The media hurricane all started with a blog titled "I was fired from the Facebook gym for asking a student to not use her phone during class" that was posted on Elephant Journal at noon Saturday July 7th. I take full responsibility for what happened next, but I never knew what a storm it would turn into.
A few days after the blog posted I was interviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle and CBS local news. I was excited to see the Blue Iris Studio, the owner and my friend Darcy Elman, and myself on the local news. I quickly let go of my hair, skin and outfit not being perfect. I thought that might be the end of it, it was just the beginning.
The next morning, after a restless nights sleep, I rolled out of bed to check my Facebook and email. I was on MSN. My stomach turned over, Darcy called me on my way to work, I was on the cover of the San Francisco Chronicle business section. The spotlight was on and growing brighter.
I'm not going to lie: the attention was exciting and faltering. The support poured in from all over. Yes, excitement is fun but also very un-grounding. Excitement about things outside of your control is temporary. I can see how it would be easy to get caught up in your own press and what everyone else is writing and saying about you. I was doing my best to practice steadiness and point out a growing problem in our modern culture.
I kept saying out loud to myself "I am the same person. I am the same person. I am the same person." It didn't take long for the phone to start ringing and emails from reporters wanting an interview started filling up my email box. Reporters from ABC, CNN, local papers, it didn't stop all day long. I had a headache. It was 3:00 p.m. and I hadn't had lunch yet. That was Monday.
The next day I woke up early again and went straight for the mat. ABC National News was calling me for a phone interview at 8:30am. Now was the time for yoga, I did some sun salutations, a child's pose and then sat in hero's pose on a block. I felt my sitz bones heavy on the earth. Within a minute I felt more relaxed.
This is why I do yoga. Thank goodness when this happened to me I'd done yoga for fifteen years. Years and hours of practicing my steady seat and I still have more to do. I wouldn't have been ready for this even a few years ago. It's a challenge to stand up for what you believe in, but always worth it. I don't mind that everyone doesn't agree with me. That is what made the story so interesting, that and of course that it took place at Facebook.
Without yoga I feel that ungroundedness, I don't sleep as well, my mind is cluttered, I worry. After yoga the volume has been turned down. I feel like myself. I'm more centered. That is what brings me back to the mat each time. When I do yoga I am better able to serve my students. And when life happens and the wind blows, I hold steady to what is important.
I am standing up for myself and standing up for the kind of environment that the majority of my students want and need. It's not about what I want (although if I'm distracted everyone in the room can feel it) it's about the fact that 98% (San Jose Mercury News) of students don't think it's okay to have a phone in class.
Last week I spoke about this with all of my students; they all want and need a space that is clam, quiet, supportive, where they can pay attention to themselves. They have lives full responsibilities and stress: work, traffic, maybe kids at home. They need a space to just be, to work out the stress, a space that is as free of distractions as possible. Yes, the world still happens outside the yoga studio, but we can try our best to show up on time, leave cell phones out of the room and do our best in the asana. That's all I ask: please leave your shoes, cell phone and bad attitude at the door.
Beyond the physical and immediate benefits, yoga brings greater awareness to our own behavior. The practice of paying attention to where our feet are or how our thighs turn out or in starts to make us more aware of how we move our bodies. We then become more aware of how we move off the mat, and finally yoga makes us aware of how we move in the world, in all of our actions.
Yoga is about mindfulness too, connecting to ourselves, our own breath. Technology has made us so busy connecting, commenting and reading Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and emails that we forget the people in our presence. We ignore person next to us, the person across from us at the lunch table, and we are constantly multi-tasking. When we multi- task we do both things poorly.
Obviously I feel like it's an important issue. Have cell phones made us a ruder society? It looks like it's a big contributor. We've let the cell phone disconnect us from the present moment, over and over. I've become more mindful of my own cell phone use in the past week and I feel less scattered. I always turned my iPhone (yes I have one too!) to silent in class and when I was asleep, but now I find myself leaving it in car when I step into the store. I haven't missed anything important.
My challenge for you is to try this too: Turn off your phone and turn on your life.

do you use freelancers in order to write articles to your site?i consider using freelancers from the site - Fiverr.what do you think? do you have experience from this site and can recommend?
I have used them but they write rubbish. They actually use best article bot and do manual spinning. The spin ratio is something around 30 to 40 percent. Just think some professional writers take from $15 to even $650 per article and they take just $5. Don't ever use them
Man, if they were using spinners, they could have made the content into something that's readable by humans. When you talk about content, I wouldn't want to spin it at all. I'll just write what I have to write and share it. Another thing would be making it easily shareable. Anyway, about your problem, I think it's best that you could ask someone from your network first before you decide to outsource writers. Either that, or you have to learn how to write things for yourself.
If you want Genuine or unique article is quality, now a days some people spinning the article this not recognize by Google, and its be spamming to your article, so be careful. So go for quality article.
There is already an active thread discussing fiverr in this forum. Please post your questions, comments in that thread. This thread is closed.

Oxford: The well liked Bollywood icon, none other than Amitabh Bachchan has played many characters from the plays of the famous William Shakespeare. Still, when he was shown the famous First Folio of the plays dated 1623 at the ancient Bodleian Library, the actor was simply enthralled and rendered almost speechless.
"It's incredible," he simply said, while moving his hand over the pages that have the famous dialogues he had performed in quite a few stage performances during his career straddling over four decades. The actor was on a short visit to Oxford in order to respond to the invitation granted by the university's Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies (OCHS).
At the university there was a reception hosted especially for him and he was also shown around the ancient university and that also included the famous Bodleian Library, which was also established in the year of 1602.
"A great actor is touching the work of the great playwright," remarked Richard Ovenden, Keeper of Special Collections of the Library, as the
famous actor Bachchan turned the pages of the inestimable Shakespearean document.
"We often have scholars coming to see these rare collections, but this is the first time that a great actor is visiting us to see the work of Shakespeare," Ovenden added. The work seen by the Indian icon is titled 'Mr William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies', also
known to students as the First Folio.
Bachchan was received at the OCHS by the director of the institution, Professor Gavin Flood, who is an expert on Hindu. The Bollywood
actor added: "I am particularly struck by the long-standing and profound links between India and Oxford, and how, through the OCHS, the field of Hindu Studies is flourishing here". The principal goal of this centre is the study of Hindu religion, languages, literature, culture, philosophy, society, history, and arts in all periods and in all parts of the globe.

Diplomats on four legs (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Jack Khoury 05/09/05)
Source: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/573811.html
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
"To a great extent, the Arabian horse might be the most effective diplomat," says Bobby Shapira, horse rancher and founder of the Festival of the Arabian Horse in the Galilee, while examining the horses and colts that pass by. Shapira, one of the best-known breeders of purebred Arabian horses in Israel, explains his statement, one that put a smile on every face in earshot at the festival in the Druze village of Julis on Saturday.
"Look at the crowd and the competitors. There are people here from all over Israel. The common denominator is a love of horses, in general, and of Arabian horses, in particular. Jews and Arabs sit side by side, smiling and talking. Some of them are part owners of ranches or are partners in breeding and raising horses," Shapira says.
A total of 106 "diplomats," as Shapira calls them, came to Julis on Saturday to participate in the eighth Festival of the Arabian Horse, organized by the Israel Arabian Horse Society. The society was founded to promote the breeding and development of the Arabian horse, to insure that horse-breeding traditions pass to future generations and to tighten standards for certification by the society. "There are no impostors here. Every horse has a certificate, recorded bloodline and genetic profile," society officials explain.
One example of good relations between Arab and Jewish involved in the care and breeding of Arabians is the case of Prof. Michael and Dahlia Kreindler of Carmiel, owners of two champion horses shown at the festival - Sinjabi and Adham al-Asawad. Basam and Samira Halabi share all the responsibilities for boarding and grooming the horses at the Zohar Ranch in the Western Galilee.
"We are partners in every sense, and especially in terms of loving horses. We have become one family as a result. There are many examples of similar cooperation between Arab and Jewish horse owners and breeders."
"Look around and you will see happy people of every ethnic persuasion - Jews and Arabs, and all for the sake of the horse. There is no doubt that this sport, like any sport, can be used as an example of closer ties between both peoples and, in my opinion, nations in the region. This is an opportunity to persuade relevant institutions to support this branch of sport," says Julis Local Council Chairman Nadim Amar.
Horse breeding and ownership has blossomed in the village of Julis and other Galilee villages. "A few years ago, there were three Arabian horses in the village, and now there are about 30. Breeding of purebred horses was once considered to be the sole realm of the wealthy, but this has proven to be untrue," says Sheikh Salim Tarif, a Julis resident and one of the festival organizers.
It costs about NIS 500-600 to own a horse. However, buying an Arabian horse is more expensive - prices start at NIS 9,000. A horse named Lubnah holds the record for the highest purchase price in Israel - $500,000. Arabian horses have sold overseas for as much as $2.1 million.
There are those in Julis who dream of a racetrack, but festival organizers made do with the local soccer field. Stalls and tents were erected for the many guests, who were offered Turkish coffee and baklava while Arabic music played in the background. This atmosphere provided a backdrop for the exhibition of horses and foals of various ages, who passed before the eyes of two female judges from England and Switzerland, and a male judge from Italy.
The horses are divided into categories by age, and points are granted based on a horse´s appearance and performance in walking, trotting and galloping; basic structure; head and neck shape; and general behavior.
"A horse has to be well-built and well-trained to win," explains groomer and handler Haled Sinati. "It is important to stress that this is a sensitive, highly- intelligent animal, and any type of treatment can influence the animal, for good or for bad, just as it can in humans. If we want them to be ´diplomats,´ we must make sure that the diplomats are in a good mood," he says. (© Copyright 2005 Haaretz. 05/09/05)

Gameloft is no joke when it comes to releasing mobile games. In fact, most of Gameloft's mobile titles would also make worthy console ports. Unfortunately, a few of the best Gameloft titles are still not available on Blackberries.
Gameloft just released one of their most popular titles, 9MM HD, for use on the Blackberry Playbook!
9MM follows John "Loose" Kannon as he works with his team of "hardened cops" to clean up the streets. Kannon and his crew are not afraid to bend the rules to get their job done, and it leads to his team stealing millions from an drug lord after brutally executing him. As it would turn out the murdered drug lord's brother launches a deadly vendetta against Kannon's team and chaos ensues.
9MM includes jaw-dropping visuals, intense shooter gameplay and most importantly- bullet time (slow motion). 9MM also features online multiplayer, and a complete hip/hop soundtrack with music from Apathy, Beanie Sigel, Freeway & Jake One.
9MM is currently available for $0.99 from the Blackberry App World. That's a great price by the way, consumers with alternate platforms (Android, iOS) have to pay $4.99!

|Kotaro Kiriyama
|Moody, Ala.
|"Drop shotting" — suspending a soft plastic bait such as a plastic worm above a weight in order to give the bait action without necessarily moving it horizontally.
|Kiriyama says that drop shotting first came to the west coast of the U.S. from Japan about 15 years ago. It was created on Japan's heavily pressure lakes where bass are over-fished. He believes drop shotting is best suited to tough conditions or when a subtle presentation is required to tempt wary bass.
|Kiriyama has drop shotted his ways to several second place finishes, including the 2001 Bassmaster Western Open on the Columbia River, the Georgia Tour event at Lake Seminole in 2001 and the California Invitational on Lake Shasta in 2000.
|When to Use:
|Summer is the best time to drop shot, says Kiriyama. The fish are typically deeper and do not feed as actively as in the spring.
|Where to Use:
|Kiriyama favors drop shotting on and around offshore structure such as rockpiles, sandbars, and points. It's a good technique for deep fishing, but he says it can be used from eight inches to 80 feet of water, wherever the fish are suspended.
|All aspects of the drop shot outfit must be lightweight, says Kiriyama. He uses 6- to 10-pound-test Gamma fluorocarbon line, a Shimano Stella reel and a Shimano Final Dimension 6-foot, 8-inch medium-light rod. He says that a reel with good drag is mandatory to ensure positive hook sets and to control fish when they near the boat.
|A 1/0 Owner Drop Shot hook and 1/4-ounce X-Metal tungsten weights make up Kiriyama's terminal tackle. He will use more weight when he is fishing deeper or the conditions demand it and lighter when fishing shallower. Kiriyama's bait of choice is a 4-inch Jackall Crazy Ninja worm.
|Once he has located suitable structure, Kiriyama will cast his rig past the target, let it fall to the bottom and then begin working it by dragging it so slowly that it is hardly moving at all. He says that the most important part of fishing the drop shot is keeping the tungsten weight in contact with the bottom to feel the cover's exact contours. When a fish bites, he will neither jerk the rod nor sweep it for the hook set. He describes his hook-set as "somewhere in between" a jerk and a sweep. Many anglers find hook-setting success by raising the rod tip smoothly and firmly and reeling very quickly at the same time.
|One More Thing:
|According to Kiriyama, the biggest mistake people make when drop shotting is fishing with the hook upside down. Having the hook inverted will result in many missed fish as it will be pulled out of their mouth. When properly rigged, the hook should look like a "J" on its back and ride with the hook pointing up. To rig it right, he uses a Palomar knot, holds the hook upright, and slowly tightens it making sure that the hook maintains proper position. Running the tag end of the line (where the weight will be attached) through the hook eye after tying will help stabilize the orientation of the hook.

Italian premier pampers Putin's girls
Not even the summer holidays are an excuse for Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to take a break from hosting important foreign guests.
This year, two rather elusive visitors to his luxury villa on the Sardinian coast have attracted considerable interest in the Italian media.
Building on his apparently good ties with Vladimir Putin, Mr Berlusconi invited the Russian president's two daughters to spend several weeks at his sumptuous La Certosa residence on the island's Costa Smeralda.
And Katya and Masha, as they are affectionately known, can hardly complain about the level of attention they have received.
One of Mr Berlusconi's own
They have not been short of things to do.
According to local reports, Barbara and the two girls usually start the day with a boat trip. The Berlusconi family also own a private beach, fitness centre, tennis court and cinema.
Barbara - who studied Russian at school - is also said to have been showing the girls, aged 17 and 18, the lavish night life at the millionaires' clubs in Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo - under the careful watch of their bodyguards.
The media, however, have been denied direct access to the trio and have had to satisfy themselves with long-distance shots of their well-guarded holiday spot.
Locals said Mr Putin had allowed the girls to visit on the condition that Mr Berlusconi made sure there were no pictures taken of them.
The Italian premier - who also fills the post of foreign minister - is meanwhile said to be limbering up for another diplomatic engagement - the marriage of Spanish premier Jose Maria Aznar's 20-year-old daughter, Ana, in early September.

Scottish football: Barry Ferguson turned down other offers to become Clyde player/manager
Last Updated: 24/06/14 3:13pm
Barry Ferguson has told Sky Sports News he turned down offers to play in England and abroad to become the new player/manager of Clyde.
Ferguson spent the second half of last season in the dug-out at Championship Blackpool, with the club avoiding relegation by two points.
The former Rangers and Scotland midfielder has signed a three-year deal with Clyde - succeeding Jim Duffy, who left to take charge at Morton - and he cannot wait to get started.
He told Sky Sports News: "I had a few offers to keep playing down in England and abroad but once I met the board they were ambitious.
"They are in the bottom tier of Scottish football just now but want to get up through the leagues. I am ambitious too and I want to achieve that so the board were happy.
"I got a good feeling. I know they are part-time and having been full-time for the past 20 years it is going to take me a few weeks to adjust. But I do not look at the job as part-time as I have no other commitments. If I can get out into the community to help Clyde and help them get out of League Two then I will do that.
"We have got a good group of players and if I can add three or four more players to that then we will have a right good chance."
When asked about a possible return to Ibrox in a managerial role, he said: "Listen, I have got a job to do with Clyde and that's all I'm concerned about; making Clyde a better team and getting them back up the divisions."
Ferguson was speaking at the launch of Clyde's new pink kit which will be worn by the team this season in support of the 'Think Pink Scotland' charity which raises breast cancer awareness.
Clyde director Bobby Gracey said: "We are delighted to be able to assist in raising awareness of breast cancer, which affects both men and women, whilst doing everything we can to financially contribute to the excellent research work being undertaken every day at Glasgow University.
"In addition to wearing the pink strip, Think Pink Scotland will be our official match and ball sponsor at a league home game, when further fundraising efforts will take place."

Terrorism is powerful because it makes people afraid. But on a macro political scale fear has not guided the U,S, to the best objective strategy for stopping the threat. It is natural after the trauma of violence to conclude that the perpetrators are inherently evil and therefore cannot--and should not--be reasoned with. The policy result of this collective reaction is to take extraordinarily extensive and expensive measures to avoid having any contact with designated terrorist groups, and to make sure not a single penny ends up in terrorist hands. Public support for severed diplomacy, "material support" prohibitions on conflict resolution, and full-scale preemptive war is a manifestation of natural fears, misdirected. While defining and alienating enemy groups may help our brains cope with the confusion of trauma, it makes the task of solving the actual problem more difficult.
In the world of foreign assistance, partner vetting is an operational issue that reflects this larger political context in the US. USAID and other federal agencies must follow certain vetting procedures in order to avoid indirectly financing terrorism, such as requiring local grantee organizations to provide the U.S. with identification information for their staff. There is nothing wrong with the intention behind such a precaution, as real dangers exist. But by placing so much energy and attention on monitoring every development penny and partner, the U.S. risks losing the much larger opportunity to stop terrorist recruitment at its source by playing a significant role in improving the lives of communities at risk.
In the conflict-affected hot spots around the globe where the U.S. is seeking real impact through development, local people already assume that providing one's personal information in order to apply for U.S. grants exposes them to the U.S. intelligence and counter-terrorism apparatus. This means the small fraction of groups in Pakistan or Iraq or Yemen that are willing to take US money is already more pro-Western than the majority of society. But it is in the hinterlands where there is healthy skepticism of US intentions where the U.S. desperately needs to be seen as playing a more constructive role in addressing poverty and global inequality.
Placing even more invasive reporting requirements on local organizations may succeed in preventing pocket change from reaching terrorist groups. But it is not going to help the US catch any additional terrorists, and it will further isolate U.S. development dollars and strategies from the majority of at-risk communities who need help the most. That is neither good development nor effective counter-terrorism.
If the U.S. is to succeed in stopping terrorism, policymakers and public opinion shapers have to chart a clear vision to direct people's fears (and hopes) toward addressing the roots of the problem itself, not just further isolation of our enemies. The game will truly change when even the critics of US policies recognize the U.S. hand in genuine improvement in the lives of the world's poorest and most disaffected communities, and when the trauma of violence leads us to call for the safety of all people who live in fear.

Harvard Medical School researchers found MRI scanners, which take internal images of the body, can have the same effect as standard anti-depressants.
The team employed a rarely-used type of scan known as EP-MRSI which tends to be used for brain scans.
But UK experts said they were sceptical about the findings and said more research was needed.
The team found rats experiencing stress and exhibiting helplessness - the rat equivalent of despair - recovered significantly when exposed to EP-MRSI, the journal Biological Psychiatry reported.
The scientists carried out the study after doctors reported similar effects in human patients with bipolar disorder.
Lead researcher Dr Bruce Cohen, a psychiatrist at the McLean Hospital in Massachusetts, which is affiliated to Harvard Medical School, said the findings had the potential to revolutionise depression treatment.
"The rats behaved as if they had received an anti-depressant. It's a non-drug way to change the firing of nerve cells.
"That's why the implications of this work have the potential to be so profound."
But William Carlezon, who also took part in the study, added it could also mean that some forms of MRI could be damaging to patients.
"Renewed caution is warranted when high-speed MRI is used to diagnose or study disorders involving the brain.
"People assume when they are getting an MRI that nothing is happening, that you are simply getting a picture of the brain.
"But in actuality the body is being exposed to magnetic and electrical fields.
"They may cause other effects we don't understand yet."
But consultant psychiatrist Cosmo Hallstrom, of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said the report should be treated with caution.
"Not many rats are like patients so we have to be careful when we interpret findings based on animal models.
"I have not heard of MRI scans having this effect nor have I heard of any of the millions of people who have them suffering harm. I am surprised by the findings, we need to look into this further."

Canada Law
Ask a Canada Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello,Under Canadian Employment law a person can be "constructively dismissed" as a result of the behavior of her employer. A constructive dismissal may occur where an employer's conduct creates a hostile work environment which renders the employee's continued employment intolerable. You are entitled to a reasonable notice period or pay in lieu of notice which is linked to the number of years you have worked at the dental company. If ending the relationship is an option you would like to pursue, you may wish to engage a lawyer to conduct a thorough review of the circumstances so as to determine whether you have been constructively dismissed. In this setting you will also be able to explore the appropriate notice period. At that point you may wish to approach your employer with the information gained from the lawyer or you may wish to have the lawyer correspond directly with your employer. Unfortunately in this setting I am only able to give legal information, which means I can't apply the law to your circumstances. That being said, please feel free to ask any additional questions you may have about what I've written so far.MDJ
I am still on long term disability. This weekend I have accepted a new position, with a new company. I am waiting to hear from my LTD case manager as to how I proceed with resigning from this position. Do you have any advice on resigning? My position has been covered since I left on medical leave. Does this require the 2 weeks notice? I have been with the company for 4 years. Your advice would be to seek legal aid to complete further investigation? Thank you! Rebekah
Hi Rebekah,You have a couple of options.1. Because of the hostile work environment, you may be the one entitled to a notice period, which in the circumstances would mean pay in lieu of notice based on the amount of time you worked at the dental company. If you took this position, you would inform your current employer (personally or through a lawyer) that you have been constructively dismissed as a result of the "intimidating, condescending, unprofessional" conduct during your medical leave making it "uncomfortable and impossible" for you to return to your position and are entitled to pay in lieu of notice of termination. If you take this position, you would obviously not be required to give notice because you are essentially saying they wrongfully terminated you by their actions. The risk with this option is if they disagree, they may dispute your claim and take the position you quit, which may not be resolved quickly. I would recommend talking this option over with a lawyer in detail.2. If you simply want to be done with the situation, 2 weeks notice is the standard in normal circumstances but you may be walking away from something you are entitled to under the law. Again, talking the situation over with a lawyer would help you to judge your chances of success.
A rough estimate of the notice period is approximately 1 month for each year of service. But this is a rough estimate which changes based on the nature of employment, the manner of dismissal, the difficulty of finding a new equivalent job, etc. Having a new job to go to doesn't change a constructive dismissal but it can impact the amount of notice pay you'd receive. So very roughly 4 months worth of pay. You'll have to decide if that's worth the cost of hiring a lawyer and going through the process.

Debut novelist and National Speaker explores the Psychology of Sexual Fantasy
In the cautionary tale, Cuba After Dark, B. White shows us why the forbidden so erotic.
As part of the book's launch, White is encouraging both men and women to start talking about their sexual fantasies. On Twitter, and on his Facebook page, where his book is already "liked" by nearly 4-thousand people, White is calling for individuals to start dialoguing about just how far an individual should go to give his/her lover what s/he wants. This is something even researches haven't yet been able to pin point.
"I often wondered if the consequence of taking action on a sexual fantasy would be more severely damaging than not taking that action," says White. "That thought turned into Cuba After Dark."
Not since Dr. Ruth Westheimer, who brought sex "out of the bedroom," has sex been such a popular topic, thanks in part to the breakthrough work of best selling author, Esther Perel and her book, Mating in Captivity. Perel asks some of the same questions put forth in White's new sexual fantasy, including, "Why is the forbidden so erotic?"
White shows us why in his cautionary tale, Cuba After Dark. This fascinating story brings the reader to a mysterious sex-fueled cabaret in the catacombs of an ancient slave castle in Cubawhere budding hotelier, husband and father, Don Nightengale, offers couples an erotic fantasy for their benchmark 40th Birthdays. The fantasy – or risk -- played out in Cuba After Dark: Is this what men really want?, is the ménage a trois. "I wanted to write a novel that takes a look at the desires of both sexes," White said. Studies have shown that fantasies of a threesome are among the top five most common male fantasies and among the top 10 for women. While White's novel is about sexual risk, it's truly a tale of the psychology of playing that risk out. "My novel looks at what happens when one partner wants to push the boundaries of sexuality and the other does not. It asks an important question -- how much can we really ask of the person we love?"
White's erotic tale is a fictional account of the scientific research that suggests that if the fantasy is something in which both partners are interested then it's fine to play out that sexual fantasy. But, if the fantasy is something about which one partner "is not accepting, then the person has to decide between his sexual preference and his marriage," says David Barlow, director of the Sexuality Research Program at the State University of New York.
In his blog, which will launch in next two weeks, White will continue to look at the intellectual side of sexual fantasy, exploring the current research and sparking the conversation. "I want to talk about the paradox of being human: we want adventure while at the same time we want and need security in monogamous relationships."
B. White, a national speaker, insurance executive and former restaurateur, was raised in New York City and grew up with a passion for the hospitality business. After college, he traveled through Europe with a punk rock band where he experienced a unique inside perspective to club life, chronicling his stories of late night debauchery through a journal. In the late 90s, he made his imaginative stories come alive and opened two restaurants, Pierrot Bistro and Donna Bella's, in New York City's East Village. A combination of all the above set the tone for Cuba After Dark. White lives in Westchester County, New York with his wife and three children.
Cuba After Dark is available for download through Amazon on Kindle, Nook, iBook, Smashwords and is also available for purchase on-line as a paperback. For more information or interviews, please contact,Cari Shane at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Baltic Adventure: Boudicca Cruise Review by Senior Canadian
Overall Member Rating
Baltic Adventure
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Newcastle (England)
My requests for wheelchair assistance when needed were met; the cabin was very comfortable and spacious for one person; food was excellent with dining room service to match although if you were not quite finished eating and taking a break, you had to tell the waiter or your plate would be whisked away. There seemed to be coffee & tea available 24 hrs a day at no extra charge with snacks in the morning & afternoon tea with goodies every afternoon.
My first experience being on a English speaking ship & being told that I had an "accent", a Canadian amongst about 900 Brits!
I appreciated receiving "Your Cruise Log" a great souvenir of the trip.
The land tours that I took were well organized and met the qualifications outlined in the brochures re physical ability required to do them. All in all I would recommend this cruise to More the older traveller with some disability who wants to travel with like people and feel very much at home.
Plenty of comfortable sitting areas for reading; chatting; napping or pursuing your favourite handicrafts; varied lectures; evening variety entertainment and several lounges for pre or after dinner drinks. My favourite was the Observatory Lounge & my favourite waiter, Jennifer who made sure that I safely reached my seat on rough sea days. The Captain reminded everyone to use the hand rails for safety but there were no hand rails from the elevator to the front of the lounge where I liked to sit so Jennifer was there for me & saw me safely to the elevator when I was ready to return to my cabin. Less
Published 10/28/11
Cabin review:
Quiet location; poor lighting at desk; TV could be better angled to be watched from the bed as the chair wouldn't be my first choice when watching TV; lovely warm & easy to manage duvet instead of sheets & a blanket; tea & coffee tray a nice surprise; plenty of closet & drawer space for one person and the cabin was roomier than I expected.

How the 49ers Beat the Slary Cap
By Allen Barra;
Published: January 8, 1995
CARMEN POLICY GIVES SO MANY interviews from his car phone, a lot of football writers think his voice naturally has static in it. But while Policy, the president of the San Francisco 49ers, sometimes sounds fuzzy, his message comes through loud and clear: the salary cap that was supposed to insure more even competition in the National Football League has been transformed in his wily hands into an instrument of domination.
When the N.F.L. salary cap went into effect last year, most football observers thought the 49ers, who had the largest payroll in the N.F.L., would have to dismantle the team to get down to the spending limit. Instead, they compiled the best record in the league, gained home field advantage throughout the playoffs and are the odds-on favorite to win their fifth Super Bowl in the last 14 years. They also have a payroll that's more than $20 million lighter than last year's $58.6 million.
The salary cap is the single biggest sports issue of the 90's. The debate over it has shut down two major sports, baseball and hockey, and came close to ending the N.B.A. season. Pro football is the only sport where the cap is firmly in place, and sports fans everywhere would do well to take a hard look at what it's doing to football before deciding whether they want it in other games.
The salary cap is supposed to "level the playing field," making it impossible for the richest teams to buy championships. The 49ers and Cowboys, it was often said, had raised the cost of competing so much that so-called small-market teams could scarcely show a profit. With spending limits, competition on the field would even out; there would be no dominating teams.
Probably no one believed any of this. First, since pro football derives so much of its revenues from merchandise sales and network television money that are shared equally, the revenue gap between large- and small-market teams has never been as pronounced as it is in baseball. Teams like the Cowboys and 49ers had not simply outspent their rivals but outsmarted them too. Second, as a historical matter, every season has been dominated by a couple of powerful teams. The cap wasn't going to change that. In essence, as football people immediately understood, the salary cap was just a gentlemen's agreement not to compete too hard off the field.
What nobody understood, however, was how the cap would backfire, making the rich and smart clubs like the 49ers richer and smarter, actually tilting the playing field further in their favor.
UNDER THE SALARY CAP AGREEMENT, EACH team was allocated $39 million for players, with $4.39 million set aside for benefits, leaving $34.61 million for salaries. "The moment we saw the figure," says one N.F.L. executive, "we knew there'd be chaos. We hated it. Most of the front office people I talked to hated it. Our bosses loved it, so we shut up."
Carmen Policy, who is known as the "King of the Cap," or just "K. C.," for "King Cap," hates the salary cap less than almost any other N.F.L. executive, largely because he started trying to love it sooner. After the cap was adopted, Policy turned to a special "capologist," an accountant named Dominic Corsell. With an assistant general manager, Dwight Clark -- he's the former 49ers All-Pro receiver who made the famous leaping, finger-tip catch to beat the Cowboys in the 1981 N.F.L. title game -- Policy and Corsell formed the nucleus of a Caponomics Think Tank. From November of '93 to September of '94, they manipulated bonuses and deferred payments until they had slashed an incredible $20.55 million from the payroll, getting under the cap, in the words of one amazed rival, "by about 72 cents."
The 49ers, though, had more on their minds than trimming the payroll. They had set their sights on beating the Cowboys, the team that had kept them from the Super Bowl the two previous years. To do that, they would have to get well below the cap to find extra money to lure big-name free agents.
The capologists quickly focused on a loophole in the cap big enough for a defensive lineman to bust through. Policy laid out his strategy in a meeting with the team's owner, Edward DeBartolo Jr. He urged signing the team's stars to contracts with sizable, pre-cap bonuses that wouldn't count against the $34.6 million total; DeBartolo agreed, and reached into his own pocket to give numerous veteran 49ers unanticipated Christmas presents.
And that wasn't all. Policy also noticed that the salary cap agreement ended in 1999, with no provision for prorating deferred payments over the life of the contract. So the 49ers renegotiated contracts that deferred payments until after the pact expires, and none of these payments counted against the cap.
The best example of the 49ers' methods is Tim McDonald, the highly regarded safety who had signed a five-year, $12.75 million deal before the cap was put in place. While specific figures are not available, McDonald agreed last year to a substantial cut in his base salary in return for an extra year on his contract and a signing bonus that doesn't count against the cap.

I am on probation and one of my terms is 'not to consume or possess any alcohol'. I understand I'm not supposed to drink, but my husband likes to have a few beers on the weekends in our garage with our friends. Does this mean he cannot have beer a...
In most states, the legal definition of "possess" is much broader than the way we typically think of the term. Legally speaking, you can be in "possession" of the beer in your garage by having the right to exercise control over the beer, even though the beer belongs to your husband, because you share the residence. "Possession" can be joint: you and your husband share the residence and the right to exercise control over the items, like the beer, in the residence. Technically speaking, you have joint possession over the beer in the garage.
Having said that, I reccomend that you speak with your probation officer about this. If your probation officer is okay with your husband having his beer, he/she will not seek to revoke your probation because of it. The probation officer can monitor whether you are consuming alcohol with breath or urinalysis testing.

At least 61 children have tested positive for HIV after receiving blood transfusions at a paediatric clinic near Shymkent in the country's south.
A further 12,000 children are now being screened for exposure to the virus.
Kazakhstan's health minister and the regional governor were both fired over the scandal last week.
Donors paid
The children are thought to have been infected either through unsterilised equipment or through contaminated blood.
The BBC's Stephanie Irvine said that donors are paid for their blood transfusions in Kazakhstan and local authorities are searching for a number of donors who may be HIV carriers.
The first cases emerged in July and all those infected were between two months and 10 years old.
According to the Kazakhstan Today news agency, charges have been brought against the former regional health director, two of his deputies and five doctors.
Investigations are also taking place into the forged signatures of six donors who had been paid for their blood, the agency reported.
HIV prevention officials in Shymkent told Agence France-Presse that at least 2,700 children may have come into direct contact with the virus.

Abdel Kader Arnaout (Syrian 1936-1992)
signed and dated in Arabic (lower left)
glue and painted rattan on canvas
35¼ x 24in. (90 x 59.5cm.)

Hong Kong +852 2760 1766
Shanghai +86 21 6355 1766
As a point of departure Arnaout took Islamic motifs, but later developed them into his own visual language. By the 1980s he began to use found objects such as mosaic pieces taken directly from Syrian craftsmen, and would experiment with unusual materials used in furniture and other everyday objects. In this piece the woven rattan is taken from a chair, of a type commonly found in every cafe or school classroom, is mounted on canvas, becoming the centrepiece of this composition. In so doing Arnaout celebrates the creative process behind the craft as well as the intrinsic beauty of the ordinary object.
Arnaout was one of the first artists in Syria to use such mixed media techniques in his work.

Today, after charging it from a completely flat battery, I decided to try the power-on again, and now it works. Seems all is well.
That's awesome. I'm surprised there's no damage to the device, considering I got an ink stain under the screen of my Touch after a relatively minor spill.

HPN hosts NBAA June regional forum
Static display at HPN featured 30 aircraft.
Panorama Flight Service Pres Gene Condreras plays host to friends and colleagues at Enzo's Antichi Sapori restaurant in Armonk NY.
Nearly 2000 people attended the NBAA regional forum at HPN (White Plains NY) on Jun 8—largest NBAA regional forum ever held.
The day-long event, held at the Panorama Flight Service facility, included 30 aircraft and 130 exhibitors and featured industry leaders who spoke on the importance of HPN to business aviation and the local economy.
NBAA Pres & CEO Ed Bolen said, "The airport—home to 80 businesses and 1300 direct jobs—has doubled passenger traffic over the past 5 years and is benefiting Westchester and Fairfield counties with an estimated $600 million in direct and indirect employment."
Bolen used the occasion to criticize the DoT for its stance on the block aircraft registration request (BARR) program. Changes to the program, scheduled to take effect Aug 1, limit participation to aircraft owners with legitimate security concerns about data being publicly available. NBAA, with AOPA and EAA, is considering filing for an injunction to prevent changes to the program taking effect.
Next NBAA regional forum will be held on Jul 14 in San Jose CA.

PANAMA CITY, Panama.–The completion date for the locks on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal has been postponed until June 2015, said the Panama Canal Authority.

As for the locks on the Atlantic side of the Canal, they are still scheduled for completion in March 2015.
Originally, the Panama Canal expansion programme was slated for completion in 2014, but was delayed to April 2015, said a release.

Teasing more about the possible storyline, the film's star Hayden Christensen says, 'It's gonna be mother hunting son and possibly even maybe sister hunting brother.'
Hayden Christensen had always shown optimism about "Jumper" sequel and he has not changed his mind. Met at the premiere of his latest starring-film "Takers", the actor tells MTV Movies Blog that talks about making "Jumper 2" are happening, claiming "We're talking about it right now actually."
Asked where the story could go in the sequel, he says, "Hopefully somewhere a little darker." He further explains, "I think there's a lot you can do with it. It was sort of set up in a way it's gonna be mother hunting son and possibly even maybe sister hunting brother," before adding "We're talking about it, trying to figure it out."
Before "Jumper" was even released, there had been an idea to make it three-set movies. Back in 2008, Christensen confirmed the plan, stating "It was set up to become that - a trilogy - if it did well. And I think they're happy with how it did so they want to make another one. But I don't think they're rushing to get into production."
"Jumper" follows Hayden Christensen's David Rice who could teleport himself anywhere in an instant. Because of his unique ability, he is hunted by 'Paladins', people who dedicate their time to kill any 'Jumper' like him. Chasing Rice is Roland Cox, played by Samuel L. Jackson, who believes that only the Lord Almighty should be able to be everywhere at once.
Directed by Doug Liman, sci-fi adventure flick was not adored by critics but it performed well at box office. The film raked in a total of $222.2 million globally as of press time and was named the 28th highest-grossing film worldwide for 2008.

About the Book
As a photographer I have always been influenced by "the Process". Shoot the subject, process the image, print the image, then finally present or display the photograph. In the past year I have discovered and I'm exploring the possibilities of "mobile photography". Photography has always been "mobile" for me, the concept of doing all four steps of "the Process" without going to the studio is new and intriguing. Using my phone as a processing lab and publishing platform is a freeing experience.
