Spinach Feta Frittata
Recipe by TishT
This is a beautiful frittata. We eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. With fresh fruit or salad depending on the meal. Enjoy
Top Review by The_Swedish_Chef
This was JUST the type recipe that I was looking for, for brunch. My friend did NOT have a cast-iron skillet, which is what I normally make frittatas in, so being able to make the entire thing in a Pyrex pie pan was crucial. We didn't want to add the meat so we made this following the recipe except the ham. It turned out so good and so flavourful that there were no leftovers! I'm so glad that you posted this basic and easy recipe. Thanks!

Boyce and Lolli are preparing to attend a fundraising dinner where President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will be present, when Lyric brings home her new boyfriend (David Alan Grier), a record producer at least Boyce's age. Boyce pulls the man aside and hints that he should just end things now before Lyric starts looking for a commitment, but the man instead proposes to Lyric at the dinner, causing Boyce to react angrily and get thrown out. Meanwhile, Stamps has prepared a "healthy" cupcake he plans to give to the First Lady, in the hopes that she'll give it her endorsement.

Yes Mike, if you have any Fit-Forms, you might be able to use them on Facebook, but it seems that at this time we have some issue with Fit Forms and our Facebook integration because Facebook had changed their API.
I will however raise this to our developers so as soon as it is available you will be notified about it through this thread.

Google Goggles for Android has received a significant update. You may recall that Goggles is an app which can help you search for images captured with mobile devices. The new version of the app (v 1.9) is available for download from Google play store. The updated app will be compatible with devices running on Android 2.2 and higher.
Google Goggles is basically an application that allows you to search by capturing an image. Users can point the camera at any object and the app will extract any available information on the object. The object can be a painting, landmark, barcodes, products etc. If Goggle finds the captured image in its database, it will display associated information on the object. An attractive feature of Google Goggles app is that it can translate a text in foreign language by taking its picture. This is especially useful for travelers who visit foreign locations.
Google Goggles is able to read texts in English, Italian, Spanish, German, Russian, Turkish and Portuguese. Google Goggles also allows users to add contacts by scanning business cards. Users can also scan text using OCR. In a previous update the app had enhanced its compatibility with Android based phones. The app automatically pairs itself with the phone camera and works efficiently in the background for extracting information.
New updates with the app
One of the most visible changes made with this update is that users do not need to enable their search history to make use of the 'Search from camera' feature. Object tracking in continuous mode is much more enhanced and faster. Users will also be able to scan a QR code with URL encoded. The app will display a thumbnail of the page and check if it is a malicious link. A more elaborate coverage of the barcodes is incorporated with the update. If Goggles fails to find an exact match for the search made, the app will search for similar products and list them.

It's easy to get stuck in a rut with salads. For years, I've made almost the same salad every day. (And I probably should add for those of you who are new around here that I've enjoyed that salad for breakfast. Yes, I know I'm a little weird.)
It's always been a green salad with whatever fresh vegetables I had on hand, 1/2 cup or so of beans and1/2 avocado all dressed with balsamic vinegar dressing. Really the only variable has been how much time I wanted to spend chopping different vegetables and if I was using olive oil or chia seeds for the dressing.
Lately, however, I've been getting bored. For a while that boredom caused me to skip my daily salad. I just couldn't face another one. Then I realized the boredom for what it was and decided I just needed to branch out and try new things all the time instead of just when I was making something new for the site.
It's actually been a really fun experiment and you can see some of the inspiration for what I've been eating on Pinterest here. Aren't they lovely? It's kinda hard to stay bored with the idea of yet another salad when you have all that great inspiration.
Today's salad is one of my own creation and one I really enjoyed. It's a fantastic side dish but yummy enough that you could easily enjoy it as the main course. I served it once as written and once with some caramelized tempeh that I had left over. It was delicious with and without the added protein.

- Meanwhile combine quinoa, romaine lettuce, celery, red pepper, yellow pepper and red onion in a large bowl.
- Make the dressing by whisking together the chia gel or oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon, chipotle chili, sweetener, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Toss desired amount of dressing with salad and serve immediately.

Desc: Science Fiction Story: Space Opera
The dark sky was a vast array of moons and long trails of colored space-ether. They striped the sky over the backwater planet with their pale hues, contrasting just enough with color in the blackness to be distinguished. This was a crowded sky and a dangerous place to fly, with all the near planet asteroids, or, even do business as Arra was running for his life. The Follen, the local civilization, hadn't liked him this time or had liked his trade goods too well, having turned on him, even though he'd been here before and leaving with everyone happy. They had been getting greedier on subsequent stops and on this of Arra's sixth visit to the place. Through some sixth sense, he'd acquired from years of trading and selling, he learned they were after his head as a trophy and all his trade goods, this time.
Barely on the top of the last ridge of several he'd been fleeing over, he shouted down at Beverly, his synthetic, just outside the interplanetary ship resting in the canyon below. She was faithfully standing guard at the entrance ramp, waiting for his return.
"Beverly! Get the ship ready," he yelled down to her.
She looked up and stared dumbly at him.
"Right now," he said, and she disappeared into the ship, raising an arm to acknowledge his commands.
Arra looked behind him, again. The tribe was half way up the slope, already. Crimony, they were fast, he thought. If it wasn't for this planet being a low gravity world, I'd be in a heck of a bind.
Arra turned away and began running down slope, now. Huge ten meter strides gobbled up the distance between him and the ship and on reaching the dark space scared hot rod, he hopped up the open bay's ramp and slammed the button to close the clamshell doors. He was safe now. This ship was made of thick, heavy, Black-Space-Iron and was nearly impregnable once the ship was fired up due to the internal drive and speaker voice that protected the whole craft.
Rushing to the cockpit, Arra touched Beverly on the back of her bare neck as he sat down next to her, feeling the softness of her skin and its pleasant warmth. It always felt good to have her close by. Even though she was a mere pleasure unit, having won Beverly in a game of chance, at cards, and knowing she had been designed for only sex and minor other duties, Arra had still grown very found of her. She was a darn good pilot, these days, as well as being a sweet companion. He'd been training her for several years.
"Bringing up speaker volume," she said, "Dark drive active and ready for hover."
"Let's take it up," he told her, strapping in.
The ship tilted coming off the landing sight and viewing the screens as he snapped the heavy aluminum buckles in place, Arra saw why. Beverly had purposely done it to push the natives away from the searing blast point, knocking them all off their feet and back so they wouldn't get hurt too badly. She laughed while doing it and then Arra had the controls.
He focused on the readouts and as soon as the nav'-computer gave its green go ahead, he touched the red launch button and roared deafeningly into the atmosphere until they were screaming through the various thinning layers of upper planet-side gases. And then the sky suddenly went black and the distant colored ethers merged into one shade of darkness. They were safely away.
He stayed attentive as he arced around one of the distant moons and flowed into his directional path, ready for the acceleration that would take them to their next world. The destination had been pre-set.
"You had trouble, I take it?" Her voice soothed him. All the time.
"Yes. I lost the trade goods. They got greedy. We won't be coming back here, again. It was a good source for gold, but I guess we still have other sources. That asteroid we passed coming in should be a good stash for some back up if we need it, next time we pass this way. Damn it, though, I really wanted some gold before we hit Amith 5, this time."
"Then why don't we go get it?" she asked. "The asteroid. It's small enough to fit in the cargo bay and if not, we can probably trim the edges to make it fit. I know you want to get moving, but it won't take long."
Arra thought for a second and then smiled, looking at her. He always got hyper after a death defeating event and she could always recognize it and calm him down. And she was right. He knew he was in love with Beverly and it was probably unhealthy to be, with a synthetic, but it was at times like this he really appreciated her and didn't care what other people thought.
"We won't get as good a price with gold in raw form," Beverly continued, "but that thing's a good sized chunk of money. Anyone would be impressed with it."
"Yes, you're right, as usual, Bev'," he said and popped off his restraints and reached over to her head, drawing her lips to his. Arra kissed her gently on her perfect mouth and let them linger momentarily. "Get us over there, then; I'll get suited up."
She reached out to him, smiling seductively, and touched his chest. It was always sensuous when she touched him in any way. She kissed him back and he got lost in her beautiful dark brown eyes and the way her warm lips felt.
How does she do that? he wondered, tearing himself away and went down into the bay's outer suit-room and got ready for the EVA.
"We're there," the voice in the helmet came over clear and crisp. That sure didn't take long, he felt, wishing she would say something else.
Her voice was a distraction but he liked to listen to it. He knew what he wanted to do right then, but it would have to wait. Work, work, work.
Suited up, Arra picked up the heavy-duty mining blaster and said, "Okay, take the artificial gravity off line and open the bay doors when we're right up to it.
He floated up off the surface of the bay and waited. The ship was backing up against the asteroid, he knew. He trusted Beverly implicitly. She was that good of a pilot.
"Object stabilized," she said. The relatively weak towing beam easily slowed and kept the rock outside from tumbling as it had been for untold billions of years.
"Bay opening," Arra heard her say, all business and concentration, then the clamshell doors opened like some huge maw of a gas giant's whale, and there was the asteroid. The gold mixture of the black and red rock, and expensive raw metal, gleamed under the outer flood lamps of the ship. Sparkles of pure gold reflected light and Arra thrilled at the prospect of how much it would be worth. Possibly more than what he could have traded for. At least he could hope for as much.
This system of planets within the influence of this sun and, as yet, undiscovered solar system was rich with the stuff, and he would have preferred to trade for it with those natives of the forth world, but this would do just as well for what he required of it. His ship needed an update on the drive and that wasn't cheap. He had to stay competitive or loads would go to other ships and he and Beverly would starve, so to speak, in local deliveries. Arra had done that once and never wanted to repeat that kind of duty, again. His ship was relatively small, for a cargo vessel, and he needed high end business. Cargo that paid well. He was ahead of the game these days, doing well, and wanted to keep it that way.
"All right," he began to guide Beverly, "Bring it a bit starboard. Yes, like that, keep it coming. Okay. Stop. Now let it drop a little. Yes. That's it. Okay. Good. I'm going to do a little trimming so hang on a few minutes.
Arra used his blaster and cut the edges of the asteroid, here and there, maneuvering easily though the airless space in and around the floating rock outside and within the bay itself with his eye and voice controls. His EVA suit took care of directions all too easily. After nine minutes had passed, Arra directed Beverly backward, capturing the now motionless asteroid in the ships cargo hold.
"Okay, Bev, turn the gravity back on, slowly. This sucker has got to be really heavy."
The asteroid settled on to the scratched deck plates and bits and pieces of the rock broke off, pinging off into the bay as chunks of it fractured and was jettisoned. The plates didn't creak or buckle, crackle or grown, they were that strong. And then it was fully settled and his suit felt heavy.
"Okay seal it up. Wait for me before we get underway. I'll meet you in the cockpit."
"I'll be waiting," Beverly said, not unsexually, he noticed, as the bay hissed anew with the return of air. Or was it only his imagination? The way she spoke to him.
Removing his helmet, Arra asked himself, again, "How does she do that?" He knew, of course. It was scientifically rendered voice modulation, but it was more fun to wonder. The pleasure units were the masters of making you like them.
They got underway, again, accelerating up to speed, set and double checked all the safe guards so they wouldn't strike some far off tumbling bit of rock. With the speakers on full and in combination with the drive warble, there was no way any asteroid could penetrate the force field, in theory. If there was something too big for the ship to avoid on it's own, it would warn them well in advance.
Funny name for a force field, Arra had often thought. Speakers? Probably because it blasts things out of the way with pulse tech, and forms a barrier with 'M' waves, huh?

Things like a wool Irish sweater, a pea coat, 'regular' jeans. These are what I'd call classic.
Most Helpful Girl
definitely. I wear a lot of classic pieces. sometimes I wear trendy pieces if they are cute and complement my shape. but it seems that a lot of those baggy tops are in fashion and they tend to add bulk and I just don't like them, so I avoid those.10|10|0

Government of the Republic of Fiji
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
A Better Fiji through Excellence in Foreign Service
7th August 2012: Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola together with Foreign Ministers from eleven Pacific Islands States yesterday called on the Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Prime Minister's Office in Singapore.
At the invitation of Singaporean Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Law K Shanmugam, Ministers from eleven Pacific Islands States including our own Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola are in Singapore to participate in the Singapore – Pacific Ministerial Study Visit from 6 to 10 August 2012.
The Ministerial Study Visit was opened by Minister Shanmugam at a welcome ceremony yesterday morning 6 August at the Singaporean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministers later paid a joint call on Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, during which they discussed Singapore's relations with the Pacific Islands States and developments in the South Pacific region. Minister Shanmugam hosted the Ministers to dinner last night.
Over the next few days, the Ministers and delegates will be briefed by various Ministries and government agencies on Singapore's development experience in areas such as public administration, education, health, transport and water management. This is the first such study visit that Singapore has organized for Ministers from the Pacific Islands States.
Meanwhile Fiji and Singapore are continuing their discussions on areas of cooperation that include training and climate change. Singapore has indicated its willingness to assist and the Foreign Ministries of both countries are now discussing specifics of the assistance.
Technical assistance from Singapore usually comes under the Singapore Cooperation Programme (TCP) and Third Country Training Programmes (TCTP) such as offered under the Colombo Plan.
Both Fiji and Singapore are members of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). AOSIS is an intergovernmental organisation comprising of low-lying coastal and small island countries whose main purpose is to consolidate the voices of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to address climate change. Both countries have cooperated closely on the work of AOSIS under the Framework Convention on Climate Change, particularly in the negotiations of a successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol.

How to reschedule an appointment time without deleting the existing entry.Asked by naturalbodz on April 24, 2016 at 11:17 PM
I am using the appointment scheduler and have to move a persons time slot to another time, although I did not want to delete the existing entry as it has a payment attached to it.
I have tried to go in and edit the existing entry via the view submissions area although all the appointment slot boxes are shaded/non select-able and therefore can not do what I needed to do. Is there another way to do this at all?
JotForm Support
Hello Steve,
I just went to your submissions and I was able to select a different appointment.
Could you please try again and let me know if the issue persists?
Thank you!
Thank you it seems to allow me to do it now. I had previously tried several times and it wasnt working but is all good now. Not sure if you guys did something in the back end or it was just a glitch at that time, but thank you and for your quick response. :)
JotForm Support
On behalf of my colleague you're welcome.
Thank you for letting us know that it is working as you need now, and yes it should be a temporary glitch; however, if this happens again, please do let us know and we will be glad to help you.

In a recently published paper Kenneth Krysto and colleagues confirm three intercepted and 137 introduced amphibian and reptile taxa that have been found in the state of Florida. Remarkably only two (1.34%) were the result of biological controls, four (2.68%) came from zoo escapes; 18 (12.08%) came from cargo; and totally unsurprising, 125 (83.89%) came courtesy of the pet trade.
Florida holds the record for having the largest (56 taxa) established non-indigenous herpetofauna in world, Hawaii is a distant second (31 taxa).The origins of the non-native species spanning span the globe, and includes species from Australia, Oceania and Indonesia, Asia, the Mediterranean, Africa, Madagascar, South America, the Caribbean, as well as other states.
The literature suggests that about 10% of non-indigenous species that are transported to a new area actually become introduced, and 10% of those become established, and 10% of those become pests. This model was developed for British plants and animals, but exceptions to the rule are introduced birds in Hawaii, where more than half of the introduced species became established. The number (43 species) of non-indigenous lizards in Florida is spectacular, considering Florida has only 16 native lizards. This may be due to a combination of their popularity in the pet trade, but also the climate and microhabitats available in Florida.
This report is likely to have consequences for the pet trade and exotic animal business. It also raises the issue of ignoring non-native species or trying to do something about them. The flora and fauna at any given location is the result of co-evolved species, species that have adapted to each other over geological time. Humans have altered those communities in the blink of an eye, with little regard for the consequences. Ignorance is an enemy and released pets that become established can also become pests, and some are capable of causing serious damage to ecosystems. This paper makes for fascinating reading.

introduced into Florida in 1964 by an animal

My period just recently came, but before I get to the part about my boyfriend and I, let me tell you (for those who don't know) the symptoms of a premenstrual syndrome. Symptoms include feeling tired, having trouble sleeping, having an upset stomach, headaches, backaches, joint or muscle pain, trouble with concentration or memory, tension, mood swings, crying spells, anxiety, depression, and many more. I basically have ALL of these symptoms, and it is literally the worst thing ever. All I want for him to do is to stay by my side, to comfort me, to show that he really cares. He says he loves me, and that he believes that I'm the one whom he wants to be with his entire life, to build a future with. But sometimes, his actions don't really show it... Like this one. How can you love someone and really want to be with them, if you're not even going to stay with them through every second, good AND bad? How can he really love me if he doesn't want to help me during the times I really want someone by my side? Someone please help me...

It's highschool, it probably won't last and you won't find very mature guys in highschool. Personally I would care about my girlfriend and want to stay with her... But I've talked to girls who are insanely fucking rude and obnoxious during their time of the month, to the point where they will literally snap at me mid conversation. Homie don't play that.00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
I'm sorry you have PMS symptoms during your period. I have them too, so I can relate to that. It's a terrible thing. But some guys don't know how to behave themselves while being around girls on their period. I think it's just his age. I mean, I don't know how old he is, but many guys under the age of 18 get quite embarrassed by thinking about periods.
However, talk to him about your feelings. Tell him that you need him, especially during your period. That's the only thing you can do. If he doesn't change over time, you have to consider if he is really the one you want.
Oh and for your information: not all men are embarrassed by periods. They are completely natural, but guys just feel hopeless during those days. There's nothing they can do to make you feel better, so maybe your boyfriend is feeling that as well.00|00|0

I had a boyfriend once but he was a player and it also was my first relationship so I guess the bad experience made me fear kissing. I also find kissing gross (probably because of the bad relationship too). How can I get over it without practicing on someone? I don't have a boyfriend at the moment either.

We believe that marketing systems should be refined for continuing returns over time. We are proud to say that our work is never about one-time benefit, but about the refinement of systems that will return more and more profit to our clients for years to come. We don't provide one-time fixes, we refine / build strategic systems that contribute to the bottom line from then on out.

The Indian chapter of the International Advertising Association (IAA), which recently completed its annual general meeting, has elected a new managing committee. Sam Balsara, Chairman and MD, Madison Communications, has been elected as President of the committee for the year 2005-06.
The other members of committee include Pradeep Guha as Vice-President, Mukul Upadhyaya as Honorary Secretary and Ashok Nerkar as Honorary Treasurer. Members include M G Parmeshwaran, Goutam Rakshit, Ramesh Narayan and Ishan Raina. Hormusji Cama is a co-opted member, while Roger C B Pereira and Pheroza Bilimoria, who is a past president of IAA and now serves on the IAA World Board, are special invitees.
Commenting on the responsibility, Balsara said, "With the presence of such strong industry associations like Advertising Agencies Association of India (AAAI), Indian Newspapers Society (INS) and Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) and clubs like The Advertising Club, Bombay, the IAA India Chapter needs to identify the unique and distinct role that it can play in the advertising and marketing fraternity. Probably, it will be in the area of global practices, exploiting its global reach across 93 countries, and access to 6,000 key decision makers."
The major item on the agenda of the IAA in the current year is the holding of the IAA World Congress in Dubai on March 20-23, 2006 and the IAA, India Chapter hopes to play a key role in taking a large delegation from India to this Congress.
The Dubai Chapter, which is one of the largest Chapters of IAA, has lined up an extremely rich fare in terms of global speakers and relevant topics, and the Congress would also give Indian professionals an opportunity to check out the opportunities available in Dubai because of rapid progress made there in the last few years.
Also on the cards is a series of dinner meetings exclusively for IAA members and their guests to be addressed by 'International Indians'. The first guest in this series will be Harish Manwani, former Marketing Director of Hindustan Lever and currently President Asia, Africa, Middle East & Turkey, based in London.
The India Chapter was initiated over 20 years ago with a view to foster a healthy environment for the growth of globalisation in the communications industry. The India Chapter currently has a membership of around 40 members.

The 2013 Jeep Wrangler is just as ready for adventuring as it looks--and surprisingly tolerable for the commute.
Automakers love to point to their vehicles and say that there's nothing like it on the market. That's usually utterly false, but in the case of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler, it's the whole truth.
From the outside and conceptually, the Wrangler has been kept as true to its past as possible, within the bounds of vehicle regulations. Seemingly miraculously Jeep has managed to preserve features that will surprise you in 2013--like the ability to completely remove the top, or flip the windshield down. And within the iconic look, flat sheetmetal, exposed hinges, and toughness-on-wheels look is a cabin that looks more modern--and is far more comfortable than you'd guess.
Two-door Jeep Wrangler and four-door Wrangler Unlimited variants are offered. A couple of years ago, Sahara trims get a new body-colored hardtop, and last year the new top scheme was extended to the Rubicon. Now for 2013 a new Moab edition has pretty much the same look, but without the Rubicon's front locker and super-low 4:1 'creeper' transfer case.
Last year Jeep introduced its Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 to the Wrangler, along with a new five-speed automatic transmission, and it's made this a A six-speed manual is still offer, too. But together, the V-6 and automatic combination can now dash to 60 mph in a much faster 8.4 seconds for the Wrangler Unlimited (or 7.7 seconds for the two-door Wrangler. There's surprisingly strong passing pep, and revs are kept low. About the only complaint we have is with the old (but very rugged) recirculating-ball steering gear and its dullness. Well, that and its 16-mpg EPA city rating.
The sacrifices might well be worth it when you take to the trail—pretty much any trail—and experience the Wrangler's reason for being. The tough body-on-frame chassis and solid front and rear axles that established the Wrangler as one of the most capable off-road SUVs on the market continues to wow, with lots of clearance, a rugged underbody with protective skid plates, and terrific boulder-scrambling prowess. The traditional four-wheel-drive system is also supplemented with some modern tech, including an electric sway-bar disconnect that permits impressive wheel articulation without the expense of floppy on-road cornering.
Refinement has been improved incrementally on the Wrangler in recent years, and last year's powertrain changes brought more of a transformation. The Wrangler no longer either keeps with the parts-bin look inside; instead its instrument panel is modern and curvy yet upright, with soft-touch materials provided in a few spots where they'll be noticed.
When you don't mind a little turbulence and wind in your hair, with the top removed (and even in some low-speed cases, the windshield folded down) the Wrangler can hit the spot, bringing the sensations of a convertible in a very capable off-roader—it's the only four-door convertible SUV. The removable tops are one of Jeep's best features—though they allow lots of road noise in the cabin, they can completely open the cabin of both the two- and four-door models, turning a hardtop Jeep into a convertible SUV. Jeep has improved its soft top design, making it much easier to use, and the Sahara's body-color hardtop is now offered in the Rubicon.
The lineup includes base Sport, popular Sport S, showy Sahara, and super-off-road-focused Rubicon. Across the upper trims there's a wide range of choices in top configurations--including a body-color hardtop now offered in Sahara, Rubicon, or Moab form. Wrangler models can be equipped with air conditioning, navigation, automatic climate control, and streetwise alloy wheels. And this year, new Alpine speakers are available. Its utter flexibility, along with those options and others like Bluetooth connectivity, MyGIG music storage, Sirius Satellite Radio, heated seats, automatic climate control, and a hard-core off-road package have us still quite amazed at all that's offered—more than any other off-roader.The 2013 Jeep Wrangler costs as little as $23,190, but those base prices can be misleading, as Sahara and Rubicon models cost thousands more, and you'll want a number of options to make the off-road package (and appearance) complete. At the top end, Rubicon models can top $40k--a price point that could create a little anxiety if you're headed out to scrape against boulders and brush.

Please confirm that you want to add Football Simplified to your Wishlist.
This exceptionally "easy to understand" course is designed for those who want to understand the basics of football, but have not found a source to explain it to them in a simplified way. After taking this course you will be able to:
Have the freedom to watch this amazing course from any device such as tablet, smart phone, computer etc. Enjoy =)
Greeting by your instructor Dan Padgug
This lays out the foundation of the course and why I created it.
Here is where I go over the objective of the game and the key elements that make it up..
The basic elements that make up a football team are introduced and the differences between them.
The strategies used by the various elements of the team are addressed.
Various terms commonly used are revealed and defined.
Finally, I end this course with a questionnaire to get a feel for if this course met their needs, and I give them the opportunity to contact me with other questions they may have that weren't addressed.
There was one misstatement made in this course. Can you find it? If you do, email me at:
firstname.lastname@example.com and I will give you a 50% discount on my next course. Good luck!
Growing up in the Washington D.C. area, I was exposed to sports at a very young age and quickly grew passionate about watching and playing football, baseball and basketball. As I got older and evaluated my strengths and weaknesses, I determined I wanted to use my gift for taking what others perceived as complicated concepts, and turning them into ones that were simple to understand. My teaching certificate as well as Bachelor's degree from Arizona State University helped me fine tune the skills I would need to do this effectively.
This has manifested itself in many ways.....from understanding and explaining how relationships worked to explaining what a "first down" was to someone from another country who had never been exposed to American football before.
After teaching a class on "Football for Beginners" at a local Community College in Jacksonville Florida, and receiving such a positive response, I decided to make this course available online. Hopefully you will enjoy this as well as the other courses I plan to put together in the future.

Income Risk, Coping Strategies and Safety Nets

WIDER Discussion Paper 2002 022 Copyright � UNU/WIDER 2002 *Centre for the Study of African Economies, Department of Economics, Oxford University This study has been prepared within the UNU/WIDER project on Insurance Against Poverty, which is directed by Dr Stefan Dercon. UNU/WIDER gratefully acknowledges the financial contribution to the project by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. Discussion Paper No. 2002/22 Income Risk, Coping Strategies and Safety Nets Stefan Dercon* February 2002 Abstract High income risk is part of life in developing countries. Climatic risks, economic fluctuations, but also a large number of individual-specific shocks make these households vulnerable to serious hardship. For example, details are given on the various shocks and events causing serious hardship to rural households in Ethiopia in the last twenty years. Not surprisingly for Ethiopia, climatic events are the most common cause of shocks, but many households suffer from other common or idiosyncratic shocks related to economic policy, labour or livestock. Rural and urban households in developing countries face substantial risk. Households in risky environments have developed sophisticated (ex ante) risk-management and (ex post) risk-coping strategies, including self-insurance via savings and informal insurance mechanisms while formal credit and insurance markets appear to contribute only little to reducing income risk and its consequences. Despite these strategies, vulnerability to poverty linked to risk remains high. In this paper, I focus on the opportunities available to households to use risk-management and risk-coping strategies, and on the constraints on their effectiveness, by reviewing some of the recent literature on savings as insurance, income diversification and smoothing, and informal risk-sharing arrangements. Risk and lumpiness limit the opportunities to use assets as insurance. Entry constraints limit the usefulness of income diversification. Informal risk-sharing

Tsume-Do was a martial art created in the 12th century, born from the efforts of the Lost to become more civilized. [1]
Creation Edit
Daigotsu had realized that those who could gain Blackened Claws from their Taint found it hard to resist using the claws in lieu of other weapons. The sensei Daigotsu Kurai taught a style that emphasized discipline in the use of the weapons, the Tsume-do. [1]
Style Edit
The stances were predatory-like, and spectators watching the techniques had a feeling of being the prey in front of naked aggression. Practitioners often employed psychological warfare on their opponents by growling and threatening their opponent in most obscene ways. [1]

I had the chance to watch the sun come up the other day. From darkness suddenly the sky starts to light up and it's as if gazillion lights have been switched open to reveal a new day. I breathed in the fresh morning air and I couldn't help but feel happy. Mornings have that effect on me. Everyday I am thankful that I have been given another chance to be with the people I love and be able to do the things that I love doing. I am also grateful for another day to correct my mistakes and maybe start all over.
Everytime the year comes to an end, I always feel hopeful that the new year will bring new opportunities. Excited to find out what life has in store for me and my family. Always wishing and dreaming about what I can do and where I can go with my kids. Its a time when we plan vacations and holidays.
After the clock strikes midnight, hubby, me and the girls would jump around the house clanging our musical toy instruments and dancing around like crazy people. We usually have dinner at my parents house and drink champagne and hot chocolate. My sister would be there and now that my brother came home for a vacation - the family is again complete. We would be reminiscing about the past when we were kids and joke around who was the naughtiest, who did the most daring tricks. My mom and dad would each be cooking their best recipes and they would have a contest as to what tasted better. The kids would be dancing around and hubby would be twirling me around as if in a waltz. We are a crazy bunch - but you know it's when I am with them that I am at my happiest.
Many things happened to me this year, some unforgettable, some I want to forget, some I can't simply put out of my mind, and some I should remember but always forget, some made me laugh, a few made me cry, some made me feel excited and some made me feel all sorts of things at the same time.
This year I was surprised to "meet" a lot of good people here in the blogosphere. It amazes me that we could be oceans apart, come from different countries, speak a different language...but have a lot of things in common. Some of them became my good friends and some even become part of my extended family. Life is really full of surprises and I found it in a lot of corners too!
"Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!" - William Arthur Ward
Don't fret about the coming year...instead be hopeful. It's a time to shed old fears and weave new dreams. Let life happen with no fear... only acceptance that change is inevitable. We can only control so much so in our lives, so why spend those precious moments worrying? and lastly Live, Laugh, Love...it's the elixir of LIFE.
Happy New Year my dear friends!

Safeway 1st Grocer to be Founding Member of The Sustainability Consortium
Safeway, Inc. yesterday became the first U.S.-based retail grocery chain and manufacturer of private label merchandise to join The Sustainability Consortium.
Safeway, Inc. yesterday became the first U.S.-based retail grocery chain and manufacturer of private label merchandise to join The Sustainability Consortium, a science-based group of companies working to develop a more sustainable global supply chain.
The company joins other retailers and consumer product manufacturers that have become members of the consortium and its product "life cycle" mission including social and environmental considerations.
"We believe [the consortium's] mission is a good fit with Safeway's efforts to provide its customers with a larger selection of sustainable products and services," noted Larree Renda, EVP, chief strategist and administrative officer at Pleasanton, Calif.-based Safeway. "The company is committed to becoming the premier retailer in the grocery sector with an unrivaled reputation for pursuing growth through leadership in environmental, socially responsible and ethical business practices."
Co-administered by Arizona State University and the University of Arkansas, the consortium will research and publish findings on the life cycle impacts of various categories within nonfood, food and agricultural categories. These findings will identify environmental opportunities throughout the supply chain for Safeway, creating both a map and compass for how the grocer sources product.
According to Safeway, forward-thinking solutions are required at all levels of business to solve complicated and interrelated problems. Taking a systems approach to supply chain and employing science to solve environmental issues isn't new to the Safeway supply chain, but broadening the scope and depth of the company's work across multiple categories will be an important part of its sustainability initiatives.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one tool the consortium will use for analyzing emissions, waste and the natural resources used from soil to kitchen in different food and nonfood items. Safeway is interested in aggregating the data for primary sectors such as agriculture, dairy, packaging and fishery through industrial food processing to retail delivery. This data will be leveraged in creating the food retailer's companywide supply chain policy encouraging sustainable purchasing and manufacturing practices throughout the organization's direct and indirect buying.
In joining the consortium, Safeway, Inc. joins supplier partners such as General Mills, Procter & Gamble, and PepsiCo to play leadership roles in modeling life cycle inventories, with the goal of better understanding the complete scope of the industry's social and environmental footprint. This effort will help refine existing efforts at the grocer to continuously improve performance. Through its membership, Safeway will work with CPG companies, nongovernmental organizations, academia and government.
In developing Life Cycle criteria, the consortium will consider the impacts food and agriculture have on those customers who shop for their food and nonfood items at Safeway.
"This important research will build an important bridge to creating the standards for metrics by which our industry measures itself against sustainability goals uncovering key opportunities to eliminate waste and preserve natural resources," said Linda Nordgren, Safeway group VP of supply chain and strategic sourcing. "Creating actionable data on the life cycle impacts of food and agriculture will assist Safeway in creating its Environmentally Preferable Purchasing policy."
Safeway operates 1,725 stores in the United States and western Canada and had annual sales of $40.8 billion in 2009.
The Sustainability Consortium is an independent organization of diverse global participants that work collaboratively to build a scientific foundation that drives innovation to improve consumer product sustainability. It develops transparent methodologies, tools and strategies to drive a new generation of products and supply networks that address environmental, social and economic imperatives.
