Speak Wells Reminders: Presentation Strategies with You in Mind
When I work with clients, I always say:
"Do these exercises a few times a week and they will become second nature." But, no matter how good-intentioned we are, work and life get moving and we forget. Here's your chance to get a reminder!
Being reminded is proven to kick start good habits, according to Charles Duhigg in his book, The Power of Habit. He outlines that all habits follow the same three steps:
- The Trigger (Reminder): the event that starts the habit.
- The Routine: the behavior that you do, the habit itself.
- The Reward: the benefit that is associated with the behavior.
How often will I send the reminders?
The emails are random, so you won't anticipate when they will come and they will be a surprise. Hey, that sounds like fun! They will be sent at some point between Monday through Friday 8am -7pm EST. Maybe three times a week…twice a day, once a week, who knows? The plan is to keep you on your toes. Use an email address that you will check during the work day – we'll only send you the reminders, no other emails, never spam, etc.
They will be useful, of course, and fun! Sometimes you'll get a quick read, an image, a gif, a video link, maybe a written exercise, a posture shift, who knows? It's going to be different every time. Maybe even a little irreverent, but always work appropriate.
You'll be able to give feedback, too. If you want more of one kind of reminder, let us know. We will be expanding and tailoring as we go and can make them work for you, so long as you tell us what is working for you. Maybe we will even create an app? That would be cool!
You'll get strategies in these areas:
- Boosting confidence and handling nerves
- Building vocal power – pace, volume, articulation and more
- Presentation creation, organization, optimization and delivery
Want in on the fun? Complete the form below. The first reminder will be hitting your inbox soon!

Les Parfums Louis VuittonAfter joining Louis Vuitton as Maître Parfumeur in 2012, third-generation perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud embarked on a four-year, around-the-world journey to find the elements that would create the perfect Louis Vuitton collection. The new collection features seven fragrances, all inspired by travel.
Described as "the traveler's faithful companion," Rose Des Vents transports us to a field of roses in Grasse, a town on the French Riviera.
Turbulences, inspired by discovering faraway lands, is a combination of tuberose, jasmine and leather.
Dans La Peau, sparked by the power of desire when traveling, combines natural leather intertwined with accents of apricot, jasmine from Grasse, France, and Sambac Jasmine from China.
Inspired by getaways that reconnect us with nature, Apogée, blends petals of jasmine, magnolia and rose with a base of subtly smoky guaiac wood and sandalwood.
Contre Moi, described as "evoking the fusion of two travelers," blends vanilla with orange flower, rose and magnolia petals.
Matière Noire, which translates to black mater, is inspired by the thrill of exploring the universe. The fragrance combines patchouli and Laos agarwood.
Inspired by the contribution of light to travel, Mille Feaux opens with scents of raspberry and leather.
To learn more about this collection, visit Louis Vuitton at Aventura Mall or call the store at 305-932-3887.

It wasn't enough for them to dominate the US 17 corridor from the Ravenel Bridge all the way to I-526 with their habit-forming chicken filets and a drive-thru line that I swear sometimes wrapped around the building twice. Now they've opened a new location in the Oakland Market shopping center just north of Highway 41 and are bringing it straight to Sonic.
But Sonic isn't taking things lying down. "You wanna do chicken?" it said to the brash newcomer. "Oh, we can do chicken all day long:"
And Sonic ain't stopping there. This weekend, they took the gloves off altogether:
Aw, snap. What you got to say now, chicken boys?

Slash talks new album World On Fire
September will see the welcome return of Slash with his second album featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators, World On Fire. It will be released as a special fanpack edition on September 15, before its standard release on October 13. And after a batch of Summer US dates, including dates with Aerosmith, the band will hit Europe for an arena tour in November.
But ahead of all that, Slash has given Total Guitar writer Stephen Lawson the preview scoop on the guitar playing and gear behind the new record and why it finds him and the band on a creative roll.
What was the writing process like for this album?
"I wrote the majority of the music when I was on the Apocalyptic Love tour. You know, just sitting around in dressing rooms and hotel rooms for a year, I accumulated all these ideas. Then in September [2013] I sat down and went through everything I'd recorded on my voice memo on my phone and picked out about 20 different ideas then we went into pre-production in October and just started jamming.
"We were there for a couple of months, holed up in Mates rehearsal studio in Los Angeles. There was the whole writing process then once we had all the songs down we rehearsed the shit out of it, and then we brought the producer, Mike Baskette, in. And so we went through another phase of fine tooth-combing everything and getting the arrangements together. Myles came down and started working on his vocal parts… and by the time we were done with all that we were ready to go in and just bang the stuff out. It was a very quick process in the studio.
"The one thing about this record is that it was almost like it wrote itself, it was very effortless. And that happens very rarely, when there's a certain energy that carries the creative process and it's almost like you're not in control of it and you just ride that wave. That's how this record was. I can't think of any outside influence other than just going with this creative flow."
It must have felt good knowing how easily everything was coming together…
"It's the way that I learned to work a long, long time ago and it's a tried and true way: just do the work before you get in the studio so when you're in the studio it just happens. I could never imagine sitting in the studio – I know a lot of bands who do this and some great records have come out this way – where you just go in with a couple of ideas and then it all just happens in the studio, but that's a crap shoot and I just don't have the patience for that."
In your own words, you have a great 'musical camaraderie' as a band - is there a lot of kidding around in the studio?
"Yeah, we work hard but we have a really good time. We enjoy each other's company and we love playing. Even considering the number of hours we put into it, it's still relatively painless. I think everybody enjoys the challenge of getting things to work and seeing what new ideas are happening, getting inspired by one another.
"It's funny because I never really analyse it, I never really give it that much thought, but looking back on it, what do we do? We go in, we just start jamming, we hang out, 'Here's the idea…' The guys come up with their own way of playing it and it just morphs into something."

TokBox is a web-based video conferencing service that has raised $12 million in a third round of funding. TokBox is also releasing a new set of APIs for embedding a video conference into other websites and services.
Developers can embed about 20 participants into a video conference directly into a website. ?People are always invited to go to silo destination sites for video conferencing, and that?s just not the real world,? stated TokBox VP of Marketing Micky O?Brien. ?They want to engage with others around an activity, and they want to do it immediately.?
As web-enabled video is captured by TokBox, it is sent to TokBox servers and compressed. Then it is streamed through Flash. This third round of funding brings TokBox to a total of $26.4 million. This round of funding was led by DAG Ventures with participation from Bain Capital and Sequoia Capital.

(WASHINGTON) -- The fate of two recent rulings by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and a federal district court judge on the power of big college athletic conferences and compensation of its players may rest on the most famous deliberative body in America: the United States Congress, which, until now, has yet to speak up on the ramifications of the decisions.
In a series of interviews with ABC News, members of Congress exposed another significant rift on a prominent national issue. The difference this time? Political parties have nothing to do with it. Republicans and Democrats alike expressed either fear of or support for the growth of college sports in light of the rulings.
In the first major decision from Aug. 7, the Division I board of directors gave the five richest athletic conferences the right to set their own rules on the value of scholarships and student health insurance arrangements, among a slate of new powers. And in Oakland, California on Aug. 8, a district judge issued a 99-page ruling, commonly known as the O'Bannon ruling, arguing that the NCAA's policy of prohibiting payments to college athletes violates antitrust laws.
Voices from all over the country have warned of further enlarging the already large influence of big-time college sports in America, where around $16 billion is fought over annually by university administrators, the NCAA, television networks, coaching staffs and students.
"My general sense is that both of these decisions are due to the inertia and abdication of the NCAA in terms of trying to catch up with reality, in terms of what's happened to TV revenue, marketing, merchandise, video games and everything else," said Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., whose district covers the University of Connecticut, a perennial basketball powerhouse. "In both instances, clinging to a model that is overtaken by events decades ago has resulted in a situation where I think it's kind of an unstable and negative path."
The O'Bannon ruling centers on the use of player likenesses in video games, which became a hot-button issue after former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon complained of his figure being used in a video game without being compensated in any form.
"When the [O'Bannon] lawsuit was started…it was an outlier opinion. Now, it's sort of evolved to the point where more people are accepting the fact that the athletes should get the share," said Rep. Luke Messer, R-Ind., a former linebacker at Division III Wabash College. "We're not going to go back to world where money is taken out of this process. The question becomes how we best allocate those rewards."
Few congressmen have been more active in pursuing legislation on behalf of college athletes than Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, who presides over the third district in Ohio, home to Ohio State University, where she was formerly the senior vice president for outreach and engagement. Beatty has helped introduce two bills in Congress that address health and scholarship concerns in college athletics, including support for concussions and for athletes at risk of losing scholarships because of injuries.
To Beatty, the rulings last week are an extension of a slate of ongoing debates about the NCAA's responsibility in protecting the livelihood of students.
"It sounds like [the NCAA] has been listening to some of the things we've been saying in Congress," she told ABC News. "We don't do business the same as we did 30 or 50 years ago. I don't think we should hold student-athletes to the exact same standards we did decades ago."
Senators also are reacting to the two rulings. In separate statements to ABC News, Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Bill Nelson, D-Fla., agreed it's time for the NCAA to be more accountable for the financial well-being of its most prized athletes.
"While recent rulings have shaken the foundation of the NCAA, we should seize this opportunity to examine how we prioritize and reward work…in our nation's colleges and universities," Brown said. "I stand in solidarity with all NCAA athletes to ensure they get the education, health care and support they deserve.
Nelson struck a more personal tone in advocating for the players.
"So many of these players come from families that don't have a lot of money. Many of them don't have the same opportunities that others do," he said. "I think they should be given stipends, especially if they're contributing to the financial well-being of the university.
Yet as with the rest of the congressional agenda, a deep divide exists between those supporting player compensation and big conference autonomy, and those who believe the rulings send big time college sports even further down the financial rabbit hole.
"There's bound to be a way for us to address the problem without making broad rules," said Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Ala. "The vast majority of college administrators and coaches are dealing with students for whom their college experience is a lot more than just playing sports."
If the legal system usurps the authority of university executives, Byrne said, "we start destroying what's been a real strength of America, with the best higher education system in the world."
"I think it's going to be the end of college athletics as we see it," said Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn.
Roe, along with Byrne and Messer, sits on the Education and the Workforce Committee in Congress, responsible for overseeing much of the controversy surrounding these subjects. The committee held a hearing on May 8 to examine the possibility and consequences of college athletes unionizing.
Roe's main concern was the fate of mid-level and smaller schools in less-wealthy conferences, in which most athletic departments barely break even. As the richer schools and athletic departments have become more independent, the nature of their participation in organized college sports has been remodeled.
"What you've created is a semi-pro or low-level professional league," he added.
The debate over the rulings could result in congressional action, including an antitrust exemption for the NCAA in negotiating with universities. What's likelier is hearings and floor discussion on the rulings, particularly in a Congress that struggles to debate and act on even the most boilerplate issues.
"I've certainly been trying to talk it up with some of my colleagues. … I just don't see any appetite to weigh into this among majority members," Courtney said. "The outcome is chaotic in terms of where things are headed."
"It's an important cultural issue … but my hope is that it gets resolved by the private parties," Messer added. "If Congress has to intervene, it'll be because the NCAA has failed to intervene."
To Rep. Byrne, mere discussion of and attention to the O'Bannon and Big Five rulings among Congress serves the right purpose.
"I think that's probably the most important role we can play," he said.
Pushing federal action after the decisions could have a counterproductive effect on the triangular relationship between universities, the NCAA and Congress. Interference by the House or Senate may actually impede what all parties hope are smoother negotiations between athletic conferences, athletes and the NCAA.
What could be at stake is something more symbolic and morally urgent than a $5,000 stipend awarded to players used in NCAA-sanctioned video games: the two rulings could be a slippery slope leading to bigger, more expansive rewards for the athletes and schools best positioned to benefit from them.
Post-O'Bannon, the use of the term "student-athlete" might effectively be a smoke screen, a way to disguise serious threats to the structure of higher education in America.
"We love our sports in this country, but it's gotten a little crazy," Roe said.

33381Re: [John Muir Trail] Sawyer Permethrin (anti-mosquito clothing treatment)
Expand Messages
- Jul 24, 2013So we're starting on the trail SOBO on Jul 30, planning to exit on Aug 21. 'To Permethrin or not to Permethrin', that is the question. We have head nets and will be wearing trekking pole gloves, long-sleeved shirts and pants, (socks, obviously!) and boots.
An additional concern about Permethrin treatment is that for most of the day, we'll be wearing our shirts right next to our bodies, with no base layer between skin and shirt. When our shirts get wet with sweat, and are pressed against our body, will our skin be absorbing the Permethrin?
John and others, for our particular dates and this particular season, do you think we will regret *not* treating our clothes?
We're planning to take a small amount of Deet, anyway, just in case - although, again, would much rather not use it. And I'm confused as to whether we should we take 98% Deet which they sell at REI or 30% Deet?
We leave for Yosemite on Friday, so have to make these decisions soon. All input would be greatly appreciated!
Marian and Steve

The Kingman Spyder MR100 is a semi-automatic paintball marker that is built and designed for woodsball. This military style marker has a stacked blowback design that makes efficient use of gas. It can work with both carbon dioxide and compressed air.
The complete set comes with the marker, mask with anti-fog lens, a 20 ounce carbon dioxide tank with pink valve, black harness, six pieces of heavy duty paintball tubes and a squeegee and cup oil for cleaning.
The Spyder MR 100 is a .68 caliber military type marker that can run with carbon dioxide or compressed air. The unit has a polymer clamping feed neck and two finger trigger.
The body of the marker is made from aluminum making it very durable. The two trigger system makes it easy for players to shoot and the gun also has a vertical fore-grip for better stability.
This marker also has a rear velocity adjuster that allows users to adjust the velocity according to their preference.
Users of this paintball gun will experience a relatively long trigger pull, but can use just one finger to pull the trigger. Paintball players will set 8 balls per second rate despite the long trigger pull.
The Spyder MR 100 boasts of an Eko Valve system that is built for an efficient use of air source. This feature lets players fire up to 1600 shots with the 20 ounce carbon dioxide tank.
Players can barely feel the kick of the gun after firing shots which means that the players will not experience any slowdown despite rapid firing.
This marker can also shoot at 280 to 300 feet per second.
Ease of Use
The marker comes with a harness that can be adjusted to suit the body type of the player. The unit is light enough to carry around for long use as it only weighs 4.5 lbs.
It also has a car shoulder strap making it easy for players to transport this marker.
This military type paintball marker comes with Aluminum multiple side picatinny rail mounting system allowing users to mount additional tactical accessories.
Some users however complained that there are only a handful of upgrades available at the market for this marker.
The body of the marker is built with aluminum making the unit very durable. This paintball marker also comes with one year warranty.
What the users are saying
The Kingman Spyder MR100 has received a rating of 4.5 out 5 stars from Amazon buyers, one of the best reviewed paintball guns in the market. Almost 70 percent of the buyers have given a rating of 5 stars as they are very pleased with the performance of the marker.
"All I have to say about this product…is DANG! This marker is fantastic. I use this marker w/ a 21 inch barrel and can easily get head shots at long distance. GET THIS MARKER"—Amazon buyer comment
"I am loving this gun no problems so far. Shoots at 300+ fps. After turning the pressure down so I can play at the park its still a great. Would buy again from this seller"—Amazon buyer comment
The only complaints from buyers were about the accessories—the mask and the harness which they claimed were not durable.
"I really like the gun, love the stock that it comes with. The rest is all simple. The harness broke, so we know that's cheap. The mask is simple, and the Hopper feels like a plastic box. Still for the price, its pretty decent,"—Amazon buyer comment
• Aluminum body which makes it durable
• Eko Valve system that allows players to shoot 1600 with a 20 ounce carbon dioxide tank
• Easy to use and lightweight
• Can shoot at 280 to 300 feet per second
• Options for upgrade
• Can be used with carbon dioxide or compressed air
• Accessories of the set are not durable
• Some users complained that the upgrades available for the unit is limited
The Kingman Spyder MR100 Pro Paintball Gun Marker Mega Set is perfect for those who would like a military type paintball gun especially for woodsball players. The marker's Eko valve system allows players to shoot more with just one refill of the 20 ounce tank. Alternatively, you may want to just purchase the marker and buy the other accessories such as the mask, loader and harness since these accessories do not match the durability of the marker.

Thanks to the power cut, I don't need to use my alarm clock.
As much as I enjoy sleeping like a log, it's terribly aggravating when you have to wake up sweating coz the fan's stopped working.
(Oops, just remembered what we used to say at inlingua... Pigs SWEAT, humans PERSPIRE.)
The heat has increased multifold, not just coz of the sun, but also coz of the approaching IPL. Bouncing youngsters have started betting on who will win or lose in the league. I hear Chennai is the top favorite, but I personally know nothing about the teams, except that SRK's gang is called the Knight Riders (Kolkata) and liquor baron Vijay Mallya has a squad, too. I could probably search a wee bit if you guys wish to know... Happy to help! ;-) Hehe...
(I'm good enough to be Vodafone's brand ambassador, right? Just like Sallu-bhai gushed "dobara mat poochna" to mediapersons in his Chlormint ad.)
News at my end is that I've had my first ever pedicure this week. It's a stupid process if you ask me, takes too much time and effort (and money and paraphernalia!) for too trivial results. Of course, my feet looked yummy after the entire episode, but am I doing it again? Not anytime soon... I might consider a massage or a facial or face clean... Been ages since I did that...
Life @ work is peaceful at the moment. The boss has realized (after scolding me for delaying a job 3 days) that it can wait another week. So, I'm cool right now, well aware that this is the calm before the storm. I'm busy making my shopping list which includes a book, some garments, a pair of shoes, a watch (and some private items that I cannot mention here).
I recently visited the Modi Ganapati temple in Narayan Peth coz my mum insisted we should go there. It's a cute little shrine, with an equally cute deity. There were lotsa old folks seated there listening as a woman recited some lessons and spiritual instructions. I also noticed some pamphlets and boards announcing the beginning of summer camps and "sanskaar varga" (which is something like a summer session where kids are taught the strotras, arts and crafts for a fee). I wonder why parents and elders cannot impart the same knowledge to their tots. Are we too busy or we ourselves unaware of our mythology and religion? Food for thought.
Practice makes perfect is a lesson I firmly stand by these days, coz I'm going gung-ho with the Snake application on my cell-phone. My latest high score is 42,000 N.O. (I believe that's the sign in cricket indicating not out. Not too well-versed with cricketing terms and gestures either.)
Something's on my mind; it's not really bothering me, but it's just that I have a need to know... Somebody I know celebrated her birthday a few days ago. I did not wish her. Do you think she missed my call? I hadn't really forgotten, in fact, I'd purposely not remembered. We haven't been in touch for a long time, and even the rare occasions when we did interact, it wasn't smooth and friendly. Rather, it felt formal, something that you did consciously, as when you're treading on thin ground, not sure what to do or say...
The gap widened, the distance grew too large to bridge... She did not make an attempt to maintain contact, and even my efforts were not rewarded too generously. So, I decided I won't be a pushover. Why act like a pile-on if someone wishes to move on? Seems like that's ok with her as well... (Deep inside I know it's not... But then, I can't be the only one driving this relationship.)
Kiska hai ye tumko intzaar main hoon na,
Dekh lo idhar toh ek baar main hoon na...
Khamosh kyu ho, job hi kehna hai kaho,
Dil chaahe jitna pyar utna maang lo,
Tumko milega utna pyar main hoon na...
That's her favorite song... Fits aptly in this situation, na?!!
I'm there Sarikadi... Just a phone call away...
Wish you a belated happy birthday.
Wish you a great weekend, readers. I'm sure I'm gona have a blast!!
Be back soon!!

Coastal Dynamics and Landforms
Clarendon Press, 1997 - Science - 366 pages
This is a comprehensive reference text for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and instructors and working professionals in the coastal field. It provides a thorough survey of our present state of geomorphological knowledge across a very broad spectrum of coastal types, including topics, such as the form and processes operating on cold coasts, deltas, cohesive cold coasts, and coral reefs, that have rarely been included in general coastal texts. There is also a detailed discussion of the nature, origin, and transport of beach sediment, and the possible effects of future sea-level changes on coastal environments. Anthropological influences and managerial implications are discussed in several of the chapters. All the material draws upon up-to-date research and scientific findings.

These Doll Tips were compiled by Leslie Holley and donated to The Royal Doll Report
We will be adding more to them over time as Doll Collectors let us know what works for them .
By Leslie:
While these tips have worked for some
We must insist you use sound judgement with your own dolls.
We are not responsible for any disasters.
Stains on clothing:
While on a hot July trip in Virginia,I had a solid white cotton blouse stained with my makeup as it was so sweltering hot on our site-seeing trip.When I got back to the hotel,I looked through my bag and found my Maybelline non-oily mascara remover(has to be non-oily). This took the Elizabeth Arden foundation out of the tight cotton weave perfectly,so much better than any brand name stain removers I had used before.So when I had a tricky stain here and there on a doll's dress,I turned again to the Maybelline non-oily remover.
I use a Q-tip dipped straight into the bottle and applied to the stain,let soak a bit,then take some warmer water and a clean Q-tip and do a little light scrubbing,alternating till the stain looks gone. Now if this is a vintage dress,you are liable to make the cleaned area cleaner than the rest of the dress,so do keep that in mind if it cannot be washed.This is a great pre-wash tip,or spot cleaner tip on a newer dress. Many of the older doll dresses cannot be washed,especially old taffeta,unless you have nothing to loose.I have washed and pe-treated Nisbet My Princess gowns successfully and Effanbee Diana bride gowns.This spot cleaning really came in handy on the new Franklin Mint's Royal Wedding Gown ensemble,mine arrived with some dusty stains and what looked like ink spots,all removed with this treatment and following their instructions for cleaning also. I have NOT tried this on dark color fabric!!! Only the light bridal gowns.As always,dust dirty dolls!
Dingy Veils:
I have many friend say their vintage Danbury Mint Diana Bride dolls veils came out well,when washed in the sink.They did not remove the tiara holding the veil,but laid the doll carefully on her back with the head in the sink so the veil could be washed,then towel dried.I have not tried this,I imagine it takes great care and patience,and lots of towels under the doll and for the drying of the wet veil!
This Method was tested by Dani on her Sarah Ferguson Doll Veil
Cleaning A yellowed bridal veil
Things You'll Need
Baking soda
Distilled water
Lemon juice
Rinse the veil in a mixture of warm water and lemon juice. You can heat the water on the stove, but do not bring it to boil. Be very gentle with the veil as you saturate it in the lemon juice and water mixture. Add as much as 1 tbsp. of lemon juice for each cup of water. This will start to kill any mold or mildew on the veil as well as remove any musty odor. It will also help whiten the veil.
Run hot water mixed with baking soda through the veil. As before, use the 1 tbsp. per cup ratio. Heat this mixture up and pour it through the veil over a sink. You may need a partner to hold the veil out for you so that you can be sure to get the mixture though every portion of the veil.
Rinse the veil with distilled water. This will get the lemon juice and baking soda out of the fabric. You can either pour the distilled water through the veil
Press the veil dry between a white towel. This will absorb a great deal of the water before you hang the veil out to dry.
If you can place the doll Covered up with the veil uncovered in the sunshine, since sunshine will interact with the lemon juice rinse to brighten the veil.
Rumpled gown:
I have heard of steam from a shower,tumble on low heat in the dryer for a short bit,and a few others.I have not had this problem so I don't think I will offer but one tip here.Most dresses will settle out on the bride dolls over time,mainly the Danbury Mint Brides.What I have done on these,and other dolls,is a trick my Grandmother used on her china dolls,use cotton balls in the sleeves to give them that "poof",or try tulle netting.This works great on busts too,should your doll need a little extra!
I have known people to get dolls that smelled like old cigars from sellers,or worse.Some have suggested putting the doll in a bag with a dryer sheet overnight,others have mentioned Fabreeze fabric freshner.I think a good general doll cleaning from top to bottom would be a good thing,then try the latter,though I can not attest to the possibility of staining from a fabric softener sheet or spray on smell remover.Check labels.Send in suggestions.
E-mail suggestion sent by Mona: "Another tip for freshening cloths.I use the new Dryel for home dry cleaning and it has been great for the gowns.Do them inside out and you can cover any beads, etc.Since doll clothes are so tiny,I just snip the sheet in to quarters and use them as I need them … storing the unused ones in a tight jar or zip bag.No hats, etc … just the clothes."
Thanks Mona for the tip!
Styling doll hair:
You need a doll brush first and foremost! A wig brush or wire brush for doll wigs.A variety of sizes is a good thing to have,scalp a few Barbie brushes from the kids or relatives too.A new and unused eyelash brush/seperater works good on little bangs.Curved sissors,sharp ones are also a good thing to have to trim stray hairs. I read in an issue of a doll magazine,on restyling doll hair,vintage mohair.While this predates the Diana dolls in my collection,the concept was good,to use a fabric softener mixed with water and set with rollers.So I figured on synthetic doll hair,why not use the human leave-in conditioning spray,which is mostly water anyhow.This works!It will bring back luster to dull older hair and you can restyle the damp hair using white hair nets from newer dolls.Hair nets have to be white,I tried a colored one once and it stained a vinyl doll.You can buy small hair rollers for dolls or just tuck the hair into the style you want,or comb into place wet and apply the net till dry.If you want,a light finish of delicate hair spray to set,but I have not seen the need for this.
Cleaning a dirty doll:
As always,follow the manufacturer's recommended instructions.If none are with the doll,call them up. Always try dusting the doll first with a large new soft brush,like a big blush brush(never used)to loosen any dirt. Most vinyl dolls can be gently washed with warm water and mild soap,being careful around painted surfaces. Same holds true with porcelains,be very careful around any painted surface.Most eyes on porcelains are acrylic and a Q-tip with a little water will do the trick,too much and you could loosen the lash glue or remove eye paint.
Can't get Diana to hold her purse?
So many lovely dolls in vinyl and porcelain,all with handbags to match.I am too afraid to wedge a purse between a porcelain thumb on a $200 doll,and want my vinyl Diana to look like she is holding her evening bag.So I came up with several little solutions.Use the silver stretchy elastic that comes in the box with each doll.Snip it to fit under the purse flap and around Diana's wrist and tie it off.Hide the knot under the purse flap if possible.Or,use magic thread,the sheer thread from the fabric store,or a thinner version of the silver elastic.If all else fails,you can always tuck it under her arm!And give her a nice bouquet of flowers to hold.Looks better anyway.I do all of the above.
Swaying Doll on stand?
I must say,this happens with Franklin Mint porcelains more than any other doll.
The solution that works is to buy a basic doll stand known as a "saddle" stand.It is a metal base with a center pole,inside this is a clamp that will when pulled out,fit between the dolls legs and groin.What you want is that part that pulls out.On the bottom of the one I purchased at Wal-Mart,it has "Doll stand 7 1/2 in".So you will take the swaying FM porcelain off her stand,remove the wire that ran up her dress and into the FM stand's pole.
Now replace it with the new saddle part and insert this into the original FM stand.
She should now be sure-footed.

Welcome to Cisco Support Community. We would love to have your feedback.
For an introduction to the new site, click here. And see here for current known issues.
I have few questions regarding the Teaming as there are few problems that are bugging me with teaming i have raised them in here but no proper solution how ever Active/Passive combination has solved my problem
I have gone through cisco DC design document for the same.
â¢Switch fault tolerance (SFT)-With SFT designs, one port is active and the other standby using one common IP address and MAC address. â¢Adaptive load balancing (ALB) -With ALB designs, one port receives and all ports transmit using one IP address and multiple MAC addresses.
I just want to know when do we use SFT with technical justification and when do we use ALB if some one can provide will be a great help for me
Go to Solution.
Hi Faisal,
By the terms you are using (SFT and ALB), it appears you are talking about Intel NIC's. The first thing to keep in mind is that much of the confusion you are encountering is because each vendor has there own terminology for types of teaming, as well as different ways of doing things.
Since many of these "modes" are proprietary, we must rely on the vendors to provide us accurate descriptions on how "their" solution works (unlike teaming based on 802.3ad, aggregation, which is standards based, and well defined, documented and understood.). To this end you really have to rely on the vendor to provide the best guidance, as they are the only ones who really know what their code is doing.
Looking specifically at some of the modes you mention, we can take a look at an Intel link that discusses their teaming here: http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-009747.htm
At the link above, from what I can see, SFT describes simple Active/Standby type teaming, while ALB is a proprietary Active/Active teaming. The problem is, the vendor that has developed the software does not provide (at least not in the descriptions at this link) enough information to make an intelligent decision. Add to that, that since this is not standards based (and openly documented to the world), they can (and do) change the operation at any time with a new release of code, and your understanding of what "was" is no longer valid with what now "is".
So to try to answer you're final question: "I just want to know when do we use SFT with technical justification and when do we use ALB if some one can provide will be a great help for me", for an official answer, I recommend you go to Intel and ask them this question, as they are the only ones that truly know what their teaming algorithms are doing, and can thus make such an authoritative recommendation.
As for my opinion (and that is all you can really get from anyone other then Intel), owing to many reasons I've already discussed in previous threads, SFT (Active/Standby) is the safest way to go. It is the simplest and least likely to have unexpected interactions with upstream networking devices. If you want to use Active/Active, use a teaming method based off of 802.3ad and be sure to only connect the NICs to a common logical/physical upstream switch, and configure the upstream switches NIC-facing ports to match the 802.3ad setting on the team).
As I've noted in other threads in this forum, I am not saying you can not do proprietary forms of A/A teaming such as ALB (I've tried most of them at one time or another myself). I'm just saying there are too many variables/unknowns for me to ever generically make a statement such as "ALB will always work and is recommend in this or that specific situation". I -can- make that statement with A/S (SFT) and 802.3ad types of teams.
Maybe someone else on this list has a more definitive answer, but that is the best I have.
Thanks, Matt

Look out, Oscar: Jack's behind the wheel.
Don't know how I missed this from last month's Variety, but in an interview with Peter Debruge, Jack Nicholson (most-nominated actor ever) gives his contrarian take on the Oscars that is typically blunt, not at all original, but realistic. And he speaks from a front-row perspective:
"I'm a big supporter of the Oscars from the beginning because I look at it for what I believe it was intended. However, for a very long time — and I don't voice this very much — I'm disturbed by what they call the 'Oscar race.' I've noticed that it's gradually spread, as though it were an election.
"This thing totally possesses the movie business for three months — and it's now spreading to five months. Well, this cannot be really good for movies. [...]
Nicholson's complaint is that so many filmmakers — actors, directors, writers — are so distracted by the Oscar attention for their previous films that they can't concentrate on the ones they're still making. He recalls the overlap between the Oscar campaign for "The Aviator" and work on "The Departed" — which went on to win Oscars for director Scorsese and for Best Picture of 2006:
"Marty and Leo and all of 'em ... I knew they wouldn't do anything for the three months between when we started and when the Oscars were over — and of course I was correct. And then the day after the Oscars, I landed on them, and from there on in, it was wonderful..."
In 2002 it was announced that "Oscar season," which some found so protracted that the ceremonies themselves seemed anticlimactic by the time they were held in late March, would be shortened by a month, beginning in 2004. Harvey Weinstein, then co-chairman of the Disney-owned Miramax, where he was (in-)famous for mounting massive and often successful Oscar campaigns ("The English Patient," "Shakespeare in Love"), told the New York Times:
''It took a long time for these small, indie movies to find parity in the Oscars with the big studio movies.... And this shift will only benefit the movies that get out to thousands of theaters in December and penalize those smaller movies on the back end.''
Coincidentally or not, Weinstein and his brother Bob (who left Miramax in 2005 to form The Weinstein Company) have not been listed as executive producers on any Best Picture nominee since "The Aviator" (2004).

Rug was true to size but colors were much bolder and brighter in person. the green was very pea soup/brown green and blues and red very bright. I ended up reselling it at a yard sale as the color was too harsh for my taste.Read More
I love that its not as green as its shown in the pic. I bought it for the pops of red which is my accent wall color in my dining room. The rug fits perfect with my decorRead More
if you are not sure of the product do more research as it may cost much more then you think to return it and thats why i usually buy from the other well known big web-site, lost money hereRead More
I have been looking for the perfect rug and couldn't find one for a long time until My good friend suggested overstock and I am glad I did. This rug came in the mail in no time and its so pretty and perfect in my Living room!Read More

Open Health Data Powers Healthy Access by Toothpick
This month sees the launch of Healthy Access, an open data project by Toothpick.com, offering a score for over 300 areas in England based on access to health services.
The new service was developed in collaboration with the Digital Catapult. Through its Digital Catapult Centre, it was able to provide Toothpick with access to data scientists who could collate and turn open data into a manageable dataset. The two organisations worked together over several months to develop a scoring system for each local authority in England.
Why Healthy Access?
Healthy Access provides a gauge on the relative ease of living a healthy life in different parts of England. We launched the project with the knowledge that prevention is key to solving our future health crisis, and that individuals making the right health decisions depend on the right services being available.
In its first phase, Healthy Access takes into account access to dentists, access to GPs, quality of hospitals, walking and cycling behaviour, and access to green space. Our aim for the project is to provide a simple to use platform where local citizens can comment, reflect and influence decision makers in order to make sure that their local area offers the right provisions for them to stay healthy.
Healthy Access builds on a foundation of open available health data, with commercial enterprise level data layered in to complement the picture.
During our journey in building Toothpick, we have come across some pervasive problems with access in UK healthcare. In 2014 we surveyed a thousand dental practices and only 10 per cent had NHS appointments available in the next seven days. Meanwhile we frequently come across disturbing open data such as the recent finding that the main reason children are admitted to hospital today is tooth decay. Uncovering this type of data has strengthened our resolve to help collate and visualise this kind of data – to inform, stir debate and provide a hub for these conversations to take place.
Get Involved
Data has been a hot topic in the health and digital health space for some time. We are now truly in the age of BIG data, which has become invaluable in helping organisations shape the future of healthcare. Data is no longer only an asset for the enterprise grade multi-national. In fact, as in Toothpick's case as a data-led digital SME, we have collected the most comprehensive set of consumer and real-time dental data in the industry by monitoring our products over a four-year period. We know many other digital SMEs doing the same thing.
As well as being a visualisation of Open Data, Healthy Access is therefore also a platform for data-led organisations to partner with us and bring their expertise to the table. On the dentistry side we will incorporate a true real-time indicator of supply and demand data for each region, using our real-time feeds for over 3500 dentists in the UK and search behaviour data on Toothpick. DrDoctor has provided us with great data on access to hospitals. Patient.co.uk will provide us trending healthcare topics per area, allowing us to paint a broader picture around a particular score.
We are now urging local authorities and like-minded organisations to get involved by becoming content partners and displaying their local scores on their websites. We want to empower local organisations to use big data to enforce change. Anyone can download a banner showing their local Healthy Access Score, put it on their website and start the debate in their community.
We also welcome users to rate and comment on health in their area, giving them a forum to promote change.
Launch Partners
"Working with Digital Catapult has allowed us to create an engaging open data application, built on solid analysis from leading data scientists, and have it beautifully visualised in an engaging and understandable format. We would encourage anyone to take the opportunity to work with them and harness the vast reserves of open data available in the UK.
Our hope is that Healthy Access will mature into a trusted platform for feeling the pulse of the state of the nation's health. Organisations already vocalising their support include Patient.co.uk and NHS Choices, along with local boroughs and councils."
