Those calorie-laden weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year can really take a toll on a waistline. Even for people who already work out regularly, trying to maintain a regular fitness routine over the holidays can be nearly impossible with the endless barrage of cocktail parties and trips out of town to visit family. But, once the sugar cookie and champagne high has worn off, many of us realize it's time to get back into shape or, at least, back into a routine. Here, a few suggestions that I give my clients, to help get them started (and keep them motivated) losing those extra pounds of added holiday weight:
1. Set Goals -- Decide what you want from your fitness in the New Year. Are you trying to lose weight? Gain muscle? Look leaner? Become a faster runner? Making a list will help you visualize what you want to accomplish.
2. Be Realistic -- Don't make your goals unattainable or impossible. Start out small. If your goal is to drop weight, don't say you're going to drop 25 lbs. in two weeks. Maybe set a goal of two to three pounds at first. Then, once you start seeing those results, increase those numbers, but be smart. The same goes if you're trying to get stronger. Don't say you're going to bench 300 lbs. in four weeks if you can barely get 135 lbs. currently. Start small and build, otherwise you run the risk of getting discouraged and giving up all together. Set yourself up for success! Being unrealistic will only hinder your progress.
3. Plan Ahead -- Decide what will work best for you when it comes to working out. Would you benefit most from a gym membership? Do you need a trainer? Maybe at-home/outdoor workouts are best. Or, workouts done in a class-based setting like CrossFit, bootcamp, or spin. You may find it's a combo of several. Everyone is different, so only you know what will work and if you are unsure, then try out a few. Just keep moving!
4. Keep Focused -- Don't lose sight of your goals. There are going to be good days and bad days. Enjoy the good days, but also enjoy the bad ones. Learn from them and let them help you grow. Just remember why you started this journey.
5. Get a Workout Buddy -- Sharing this journey with someone makes it a lot easier. He can have his own goals, but working out together will give you both that extra push of accountability. Group fitness can be another great option. However, if you do end up going it alone, consider starting a journal or blog that chronicles your progress. Share it with the world and let your Facebook friends or Twitter followers be your partners in this all.
6. Track your progress -- Make sure you keep a journal, regardless of your progress, and be sure to include photos of yourself.
7. Don't make excuses -- Stick to your plan. If you have a minor injury or feel sore on a particular part of your body, work out another area and rehab that sore spot (foam rollers and stretching are great for that). Of course, be smart about it, but don't just stop working out all together. And, no one is too busy or doesn't have enough time. If CEOs, single parents with two jobs, and heads-of-state can find time to workout, so can you. On an incredibly hectic day, fifteen minutes of exercise done in your living room is better than no exercise at all.
8. Eat Clean -- Easier said than done, but the way you eat accounts for about 80 percent of your transformation. That said, don't try and change your food world all in one day. Start by eliminating (or at least cutting down on) foods that are not good for you. Give yourself a cheat day every once in a while, but don't make everyday/meal a cheat meal.
9. Find your routine -- Decide what time of day works best for you to workout. If you're a morning person, then hit the gym before work. It's a great way to start the day. However, if you know you're a night person, go after work. Or, you may have to go when your schedule allows. It could be mid-afternoon. Remember a workout only really accounts for 4 percent of your day -- no reason not to make it happen. Also, keep your workouts short -- no more than 60 minutes.
10. Keep Trying -- If you trip up along the way it's all right. Don't beat yourself up over it. This is a journey and it takes work (and, probably some trial and error). Just recommit and, maybe this time around, set the bar a little lower. Find your "new" realistic path. It's a process, but one you can surely maintain!
Some Great Bodyweight Workouts to Get Started:
Here are a few great total-body workouts that you can do on your own, with no extra equipment, to help get you started. Remember to scale these accordingly. If you are brand new to working out, cut the reps in half and build. If you are returning to working out, take it slowly and don't let your ego get in the way.
As you become more comfortable start setting a stop watch and challenge yourself to get it down faster each time.

ChipPAC revenues were down from year-ago quarter
Post a comment
ChipPAC, Inc., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based provider of semiconductor packaging, test and distribution services, today announced net revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, were $89.9 million compared to $97.5 million in the same period a year ago.
The pro-forma net loss for the quarter was $7.3 million or 11 cents per share, 3 cents better than analysts' consensus, compared to a net loss of $600,000 or 1 cent per share in the year ago period.
First quarter 2001 pro-forma results exclude a previously announced one-time charge of $3.0 million related to the restructuring of the company's labor force.
"We are seeing positive signs that some segments, mainly computing and wireless, are working through inventories quicker than others," the company said. "Power packages have been relatively stable in comparison to other end markets. This resiliency and the prospects for the second half are encouraging based on the new customer qualifications and production ramps being forecasted.
"In general, though, our visibility remains limited as both end markets and our customers are keeping inventories and forecasts at cautious levels. Given current forecasts from customers andour internal estimates we expect revenue in the second quarter to be down 5% to 10% compared to the first quarter of 2001, with a reduced net loss of $0.08 to $0.11 per share."

Waitrose wins award for 'transforming British pork'
Heather Jenkins, director for buying for meat, poultry, fish, frozen and dairy at Waitrose, received the award – the first time it has been made to a retailer.
Presenting the award at the House of Lords yesterday (November 7), Mick Sloyan, chief executive of BPEX, said: "Heather's support for British pig farming at times of severe volatility of input costs and finished pig prices has been a stabilising influence at times of uncertainty."
Radical overhaul
In accepting the award, Jenkins congratulated the UK pig meat sector for its resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. However, she also called for a radical overhaul of the UK's pig meat supply chain to ensure it prospered in the future.
"There is no doubt in my mind that innovation has to play a significant part in giving consumers what they want and a more viable sector for this industry," said Jenkins.
"I would encourage those who want to encourage a long-term prosperous pig sector to think about a step change that needs to take place now. While culture, strategy and leadership are all catalysts for sustainable change, to my mind the main ingredient is farmers."
She added that farmers needed to work together in a way that had not been done before "to shape the future, building more robust supply chains, encouraging investment at farm level and fostering confidence for the long term".
Meanwhile, Tesco announced today (November 8) that it would work directly with UK beef and pig farmers in a new deal worth £25M a year.

I used this a couple of times when I was staying back with my folks and I'm really impressed. The smell is fantastic and it works a treat - my hair was absolutely "squeaky clean". It's a little bit more expensive than my usual shampoo, but my mum reckons she manages to get it cheap(er) at Tesco every few months (so she stocks up).

Some of the most practical methods for processing post-production water wastes from water-based lithographic printing include:
Quality and quantity of wastewater to be treated are generally the determining criteria for choosing which treatment method is best for a particular production scenario. For nearly all litho producers of wastewater, chemical splitting is appropriate and the least expensive short and long-term solution for reducing or eliminating wastewater problems. The target quality of treated water is determined by the local discharge limits and/or if the printer plans to reuse the water for cleaning or other purposes.
While many printers elect to process only their wastewater and handle waste ink disposal as a separate component of waste management, some opt to add waste inks directly to their wastewater. This will generally increase the amount of suspended solids in the waste stream requiring a more effective and costly way to process the sludge resulting from the chemical treatment. In the end, more wastewater may need to be processed.
It is useful to determine where and how much water is being used. Develop a plant water diagram (flow chart of water usage) and water balance (how much in/out) that is periodically reviewed, updated and used to develop further conservation methods. Use the diagram to develop a written water conservation program that utilizes elements given below that apply to your facility.
Ideally, install water meters at key usage points in the plant and take readings at regular intervals (first of month & end of month) to account for all water used. Key usage points may include the primary incoming water. This may be split into industrial water and sanitary water.
The installation of water meters may also aid in resolving environmental compliance issues associated with industrial discharges of waste water should they arise. Sanitary water usage is typically minimal compared to industrial water usage and is generally not of concern in terms of water usage and wastewater discharge environmental compliance issues. If this is the case, consider placing a water meter on the industrial water line only.
Other key usage points may include the point where industrial waste water enters into the sanitary sewer (as long as this is on the printer's property). If the sanitary and industrial waste water combine into one pipe prior to discharging into the sanitary sewer a water meter installed upstream of this connection to measure the flow of industrial waste water may be in order.
In order to reduce the volume of waste water that must be treated, various measures such as installing flow restrictors on water lines, installing fan type spray heads, using pressurized water for cleaning will help minimize the amount of water consumed.
Additional water use minimization activities include printing job scheduling to minimize the number of times or number of print decks that must be cleaned at the end of a run by scheduling jobs back to back that print like colors.
Form a multi-disciplinary water conservation team to review all facets of plant operation to develop a plant water budget that is tracked and followed. Determine the costs associated with the volume of waste generated as a result of cleaning and correlate this back to plant personnel. An example would be to explain their company profit sharing benefits being reduced as a result of high waste disposal costs.
Multi-stage cleaning processes involve semi-dirty water (previously interim rinse water) to remove the first layer of ink and soil on the press and press parts. Then utilizing water recovered from the previous final rinse to be used in the interim or middle stage of the cleaning process. And finally using fresh water for final rinse of the press and press parts.
Fresh Water from Final Rinse → Water from Previous Final Rinse → Dirty Water for Initial Rinse
The amount of water used in the cleaning process can be reduced by training press operators to:
A wastewater treatment system or filtration system may be cost effective in reducing waste disposal costs. Some companies have found that filtered wastewater, depending on its degree of contamination, may be used to dilute inks when necessary.
For access to vendors who may supply alternative materials and equipment, see the PNEAC Vendor Directory.
A wastewater treatment equipment operating permit may be required by state or local regulations.
A waste treatment equipment operator license may be required by state or local regulations.
An industrial wastewater discharge permit may be required by state or local regulations.
Treatment chemicals used in chemical separation systems may be subject to EPA SARA reporting and/or EPA CAA RMP Requirements (Section 112R).

I got a nosebleed last night whilst riding. Weird. I've never had one before.
There wasn't a lot of blood.
I was climbing up a local hill onto the moors. It was very cold. The hill is very steep so I was giving it beans.
I tasted blood in my mouth, spat, and saw that the snow where I'd gobbed had gone red. Touched my nose and there was blood on my glove. Got home and there was crusty blood around my nostril.

Potential path as of 5 p.m. ET Thursday
ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada -- Hurricane Emily grew even more powerful Thursday after slamming into Grenada, tearing up crops, flooding streets and striking at homes still under repair from last year's storms. At least one man was killed.
The storm strengthened to a dangerous Category 3 as it cleared the Windward Islands, unleashing heavy surf, gusty winds and torrential rains on islands hundreds of miles away: Trinidad in the south, nearby Venezuela, to the west and Dominican Republic in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.
Venezuelan authorities temporarily ordered some oil tankers to stay in port in the key oil refining zone of Puerto la Cruz, port captain Jose Jimenez Quintero said.
The storm was packing sustained winds near 115 mph and moving west-northwest at around 21 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami predicted the second major hurricane of the Atlantic season would get even stronger.
Emily struck hard in Grenada, especially in the northern parishes of St. Patrick's and St. Andrew's and the outlying islands of Carriacou and Petit Martinique, authorities said.
The damage comes as the island nation is still recovering from last year's Hurricane Ivan, which destroyed thousands of residences and damaged 90 percent of the historic Georgian buildings in the capital.
"Just as we were trying to rebuild ... this is a very, very major setback," said Barry Colleymore, a spokesman for Prime Minister Keith Mitchell. "There's been lots of destruction."
The Organization of American States expressed concern at the prospect of a "severe economic setback" to countries hit by hurricanes, especially Grenada, and called an emergency meeting for Friday.
A man in his 40s was killed when a landslide crushed his home in St. Andrew's, said Allen McGuire, Grenada's consul general in New York City.
In the capital, St. George's, winds blew out windows and caused flooding, Colleymore said. On Carriacou, the storm damaged the roof of the only hospital, forcing the evacuation of patients, officials said. Sixteen houses were destroyed and more than 200 were damaged, McGuire said.
Elsewhere in the country, two police stations and two homes for the elderly also lost their roofs, landslides and fallen trees blocked roads, streets were flooded and crops were destroyed.
The two outlying islands had largely been spared from Ivan, but elsewhere in Grenada many of the homes damaged Thursday had still been under reconstruction, McGuire said.
Prime Minister Keith Mitchell flew over the country to survey the destruction, Colleymore said.
In Trinidad, there was widespread flooding and at least one house washed away in the eastern community of Arima.
Jamaica was under a hurricane watch, while the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Venezuela posted tropical storm warnings as did the islands of Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba.
In Grenada, Mitchell had sought before the storm to reassure citizens that the government would not be caught off-guard -- as it was when Ivan killed 39 people and left a wasteland of ruined buildings in September.

Young Dro say's in one of his raps, that he's "the kinda person that gonna drive a Maserati" Maybe so…But not anymore, because he just had his repossessed.
Apparently Dro leased a $134,000, 2007 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT in January 2008. He was supposed to pay $7,500 as a down payment and then pay monthly payments of $1,606.62.
A law suit filed against him states that Dro defaulted on the lease and now owes the leasing company $61,220.37.
The leasing agency that leased him the car wants the money it is owed, and attorneys' fees.

Hello. My name is Jean-Paul. I am a skilled professional language teacher. I teach French, Spanish, English, Italian, Mandarin and Hindi. (all levels). I am a native French speaker but I also have "native" fluency in English (I have lived in the U.S. since I was 13).
Teaching and languages have defined my life. I seek to make learning FUN as well as effective. If you need straight "bring up your grade" "pass a tough test" help, I will also be there for you.
I love to teach and I love meeting a great variety of students. I believe anyone can learn a language and that it can be fun as well. I am very committed to helping all my students reach fluency efficiently.
I always see learning a language as an exciting journey. I have a Master's degree in French from Arizona State and 25 years of teaching experience. I also worked as a language professor at Elmhurst College, IL and at Indiana University Northwest. I have taught thousands of hours.
I look forward to meeting you live or online. Hello. My name is Jean-Paul. I am a skilled professional language teacher. I teach French, Spanish, English, Italian, Mandarin and Hindi. (all levels).

My husband and I are taking lessons together and love Jean-Paul's teaching style. He makes learning fun and he is very knowledgeable. He makes each lesson fun and is very interactive. He is very suited to our personalities and is very patient.
Jean-Paul, he is amazing!!! My daughter enjoyed working with him and feels very confident with all very subject matter that she is dealing with. Jean-Paul is very patient and more than knowledgable in all the languages that he teaches. I would highly recommend him.
Just in a couple of weeks helped our daughter accomplish tremendous progress with her French comprehension and speaking skills. She is at the totally new level because of Jean-Paul.
Thank you!
I engaged Jean-Paul to tutor my daughter in an advanced Spanish course that she needed in order to graduate. The interaction, practice of various grammar sections, and the use of conversational techniques used by Jean-Paul attributed to my daughter's better understanding of the language and resulted in her passing the Spanish course with ease!
A big thank you to Jean-Paul! I would highly recommend him as a Spanish tutor to anyone!
Jean Paul is a wonderful teacher. He is patient and thorough and keeps the learning as entertaining as possible. My daughter was struggling with Spanish. After working with Jean Paul she made a full turnaround and even received a 96 on her Spanish final. She has newfound confidence from working with Jean Paul. He is the best!
Jean-Paul is an excellent teacher. I am feeling more confident with French after every meeting. I expect to be somewhat fluent within 6 months. Thanks to Jean-Paul.
My son has come a long way with Jean-Paul. We plan to continue working with him for a long time to come!!
Jean-Paul is a great french teacher. We had a blast during our lesson. Thanks!

Panzura Adds Support for Joyent Manta Storage ServiceProviding platform for unstructured data backed up by Dell hardware
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on 2013.07.04
Inc. announced support for the Joyent
Manta Storage Service, a cloud object platform providing a
solution for unstructured data.
Joyent, one of the first partners added
to the Dell cloud partner program, joins the Panzura ecosystem of
cloud storage providers, giving choice for enterprise customers to
lower cost and increase agility. It is the first cloud-integrated
storage company to support the Manta storage service.
No organization is able to escape
either the worldwide surge in data growth or the increasing
dispersion of people needing access to that data. The combined
Panzura/Joyent/Dell solution lets enterprise customers leverage the
Manta storage service for all their unstructured storage requirements
with Panzura providing a file system to enable worldwide storage
consolidation and distributed file sharing.
Integration with Dell hardware carves
out opportunity for enterprise customers to experience the benefits
of cloud storage from vendors in their field. The solution provides
an archiving, backup, and DR platform with the Manta storage service
as the central data repository.
Benefits of the cooperation:
- Sharing of files across all sites of a
globally-distributed enterprise for access and productivity
- Security from encryption of data
both in motion and at rest in the Joyent Cloud
- Integration with scalable cloud
capacity for all unstructured file storage
- Cloud-based active archiving, backup,
and DR services
"The Joyent Manta Storage
Service breaks the traditional stranglehold of local NAS on the
enterprise," said Henry Wasik, president and CEO, Joyent.
"By connecting Panzura's Global cloud Storage System to the
Joyent Manta Storage Service, our customers get a full-featured
cloud-integrated NAS solution with a global file system and rapid
data access and processing in the cloud. This combination represents
a significant step in the cloud's march to replace local tier 2
storage in the enterprise."
"Joyent Manta Storage Service
represents an exciting alternative for customers looking to offload
and consolidate storage services to the cloud," said Jim
Thayer, VP of channels and business development, Panzura. "By
combining the Joyent and Panzura platform and integrating with Dell
hardware, enterprises can efficiently and quickly access and process
unstructured data with lower cost and a streamlined infrastructure."

21 OCT 2015. South-Sudan, rural areas in Lake State. Yar Weri Acienkoc, unknown age. 3 children, pregnant of the 4th - Gergek village
Manung Agwede is the husband and have anothe wife who lives in Awerial centre (the practice is wide-spread in South-Sudan). Mingkaman is the closest facility (20km away). Yar should deliver in January 2016. She never went to the facility but kids were vaccinated during an outreach activity. She has always delivered at home and she doesn't want to deliver at the facility not to leve the kids alone here. She trust her TBA. She believes that god created two people, man and wife. She is the one taking responsability to deliver kids to her husband. sometimes challange is shortage of food and when they become sick. She coocks, take care of gots, collects water and wood for fire and does agriculture. The husband says that it is completly normal to have multiple wifes, somebody can have up to 5 wifes. To keep the two wives happy he has to distribute them food and money equally, which means that the first wife gets more and have more power. Family of the first wife is also very important and the other wife can visit him at this house too. The husband is now thinking of finding a third wife. South-Sudan has one of the highest child and maternal mortality rate in the world. 1 women out of 30 risks of dieing for reasons related to pregancy and delivering. 1 child out of 10 dies before reaching the age of 5 for reasons related to deseas easily preventable or curable; malnutrition is a key factor.

Rumors have been flying about a new wrestling promotion from Jeff Jarrett, possibly backed by country singing star Toby Keith. In a new video, Jarrett and his wife Karen say they'll be able to tell us something April 7. That date is no coincidence, as it's the day after Wrestlemania.
Making things more intriguing, legendary broadcaster Jim Ross retweeted a fan question about whether he had an offer from Jarrett and Keith.
Jeff's former company isn't in great shape, with names including Sting and AJ Styles leaving in recent months. Keith was among the many rumored to be interested in buying TNA from the Carter family. After nothing happened there, Jarrett announced he was leaving the promotion he founded.
I think most wrestling fans would agree competition is good for business. The Monday Night Wars propelled pro wrestling to new heights, and the business hasn't been the same since. But it's going to take a lot to break WWE's stranglehold on the industry. The WWE Network is only increasing their presence in households, urging even casual fans to pay $9.99 a month for film library access and monthly pay-per-views. Vince McMahon not only won the wrestling wars, he can now charge people to watch the footage of his victory.
Many of TNA's stars may jump ship. But that promotion has been around more than 10 years and never come close to threatening WWE. I'm not sure what splitting its roster in half would get you, but it is hard to imagine it would be something that goes toe-to-toe with WWE.

There are lots of business process management tools that can be downloaded from the Internet. Process management tools are important applications that can make business planning, processes documentations, and business modeling easier. Managers could make use of these tools to systematize and organize their work flow processes and automate important business process documentations. Business process management tools are usually packaged as a stand alone application or a part of business software suite package. It is important though to remember that to effectively use BPM tools, one should have a clear understanding of the work process itself so that the right tools can be applied.
For enterprise mapping and modeling, the right business process management tools are analysis and modeling software. By using business analysis tools, managers can have a powerful application to efficiently optimize their processes and business solutions. Usually, analysis and modeling software is used to reinforce existing enterprise rules engines. These applications can be deployed enterprise-wide in order to unify different process flow of companies and to automate the interaction of different programs for tighter data integration.
There are also specific business process management tools that have the ability to manage particular areas of concern in an enterprise. There are asset management tools, budgeting and financials software, and other similar applications that target specific work flow segment of a company. Niche businesses can also make use of management process tools that could cater to their own niche. Healthcare professionals and administrators can utilize software that specifically integrates work flow process and data sources of medical institutions.

Lake Retba, in Senegal looks like it's made out of a deliciously sweet strawberry milkshake, but if you were to take a sip you would get a nasty surprise as the pink color is the result of lake being extremely salty... almost 40 percent in some places. More specifically, the pink is attributed to the salt-loving organism Dunaliella salina.
The area's number one export? Salt.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- An exhibit of ornate bronze door panels created by Renaissance sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti will be displayed in the United States this spring.
Three of the 10 panels Ghiberti made for the Baptistery in the Piazza del Duomo in Florence will tour the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Art Institute in Chicago and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The New York Times said the door panels depict scenes from the Old Testament and are so well done that Michelangelo himself said in 1542 that they were "grand enough to adorn the entrance to paradise." They have since been known as "The Gates of Paradise."
High Museum Director Michael Cohen called the works "a turning point in Renaissance art."
The panels are the originals. The Times said the doors in Florence are reproductions that were installed in 1990 so the originals could be kept in a climate-controlled environment to prevent deterioration.

Today, U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) and U.S. Senator Herb Kohl (D-Wis.) announced that YWCA of Greater Milwaukee will receive more than $5.7 million to help Milwaukee residents enter the workforce and maintain economic security.
Congresswoman Moore said, "The sad facts are that many low-income people are forced into jobs where they can't get sufficient training or that don't pay enough to support families. Programs like this one at the YWCA are perfect because they recognize that many folks need training to enter the workforce as well as support to help them along the way. I'm thrilled that this funding is coming to Milwaukee to help people get and keep good jobs."
"The financial stress of unemployment or even a low-paying job doesn't just weigh on the worker; their families and those who depend on them for food and housing are also affected," Senator Kohl said. "Many non-custodial parents who have lost their jobs are finding it increasingly difficult to pay their child support. The funding provided by this Department of Labor grant will support the YWCA of Greater Milwaukee and their partners in providing job skills training and other employment supports so they can find well-paying jobs that will allow parents to continue to provide for their children."
The YWCA of Greater Milwaukee received the funding for its Supporting Families Through Work program from the Department of Labor's Enhanced Transitional Jobs Demonstration Project grant program.
Transitional jobs are short-term jobs that give participants on-the-job work experience along with an array of support services to help them overcome barriers to employment.
The funding will be used to help participants get necessary jobs skills, enter the workforce, and complete high school or get a GED. The program also focuses on career development and helping participants meet family obligations, such as child support.
"Our more than 15 years of experience managing employment and training services has shown that with the right program model we can effectively bridge job seekers with meaningful employment," said Paula H. Penebaker, President and CEO of YWCA Greater Milwaukee. "This grant is a tremendous opportunity to empower others to provide for their families and move beyond poverty, and would have not been possible without the leadership of Senator Kohl and Congresswoman Moore. We are deeply grateful for their support and commitment to helping individuals with significant barriers to employment obtain the skills they need."
Both Moore and Kohl wrote to Labor Secretary Hilda Solis in support of YWCA receiving this funding.

St. Paddy's Day is still a few days away, but longtime South Boston breakfast host, former state Sen. Jack Hart, got a jump on the festivities this week.
Hart emceed the Southie Boys & Girls Club's annual St. Patrick's Day luncheon at Anthony's Pier 4 this week and gave a little glimpse of the type of political fun we may be in store for at the big March 17 bash.
"It was so cold in Boston today," Hart started.
"How cold was it?" the crowd obliged, in Johnny Carson audience fashion.

There are lots of things I hate about my girls getting older - the fact that with each passing year they are closer to moving out on their own, the fact that time is passing by at warp speed with no signs of slowing, the fact that it means I'm getting older too... Luckily, there are also lots of things I enjoy about my girls growing up. We have some fun birthday traditions in our family, like awesome birthday parties, video slide shows featuring photos from the past year and a tradition that is particularly dear to my heart- the birthday photo shoot.
I look forward to my girls annual birthday photo shoot with great anticipation. With the exception of Sunshine's first birthday, I have done each birthday photo shoot for my girls and I absolutely love doing so. It can be very difficult to photograph my own girls - they sure know how to push my buttons and if they don't want to have their picture taken, there is no way in heaven or hell I can make them cooperate, but in the end, I have always managed to get at least one image that captures my sweet girls at their newest age. And sometimes when I'm really lucky, I get lots of great images.
At the beginning of this year, I did Miss Mo's birthday photo shoot in honour of my baby turning two. (I still cannot believe she is a 2 yearold child! Where is time going!?) Miss Mo has always been my difficult child to photograph and when she wokeup from her nap in a grumpy mood, I was sure the session would be a disaster. I love being wrong in cases like this! Her second birthday photo shoot ended up being one of my most successful shoots to date and I got so many awesome images that I cannot decide for the life of me which ones to hang on the wall.
My favourite thing about doing birthday photo sessions is that it allows me to freeze the moment in time, to capture forever just how my girls were at a certain age. That is exactly what I managed to do with Miss Mo's recent birthday photos. I captured my spunky, sassy little girl and I have the pictures to prove it. In the years to come, I will always remember how full of attitude she was when she turned 2. (And believe me, it is a lot of attitude!)
Do you do a birthday photo session for your children each year? Do you go to a professional photographer or do you snap a few yourself?

Professional Advice Is the Key to Success
Without a business model, a start-up now is no more than a dead duck
The big consulting companies are reporting more pleas for help from high-tech firms trying to craft professional business plans. Many young firms are seriously inept at making business models and plans, and a dire need for cash has sent them to the consulting departments of local accounting companies.
During the wild flight of the high-tech industry it was enough for an investor just to glance at a business plan's cover before agreeing to invest in a start-up company. Now, the entrepreneurs know that without a professional analysis of a firm's operations, an understanding of the market in which it is to operate, and the formulation of appropriate business strategy, start-ups have no chance of survival.
"During the era of euphoria," says Ido Kapner, a senior business planning consultant at the Kesselman PWC consulting firm. "The investors, who were venture capital funds and `angels,' just needed some sort of plan and did not pay much attention to the details."
Kapner recalls that there were some companies that received business plans via fax or e-mail without the client ever meeting the author of the plan. Michael Burshtine, a managing partner of Kesselman, says the entrepreneurs are not the only ones to blame for that phenomenon.
"Even though they had no experience in business management, they were trying to solve problems that the greatest executives could not have coped with," he says. "The entrepreneur had to cope simultaneously with technological, administrative and marketing aspects and also educate the market to adopt the products that he had developed. Many of the entrepreneurs simply asked an English-speaking colleague to prepare a business plan because they didn't have any money. Afterward they raised capital, in many cases much too easily, and that complicated matters even more."
There are currently about 900 start-ups in Israel that obtained investments from VC funds. Several dozen of these start-ups closed during the past year and a few hundred more will close over the next two years, according to industry forecasts.
In addition to these, there are hundreds of start-ups that have not yet raised funds from VC funds. In order to progress to the next stage of their development, many start-ups have to change their business models and formulate a clear strategy.
It costs $10,000-$15,000 to prepare a business plan for a start-up and several tens of thousands of dollars to prepare a business plan for a telecommunications tender or a big business deal.
Eran Shalev, a partner and department head at KPMG-Somekh Chaikin, says that in the past few months there has been a change in the approach of small companies. "The essential change is in the business plans of the small companies," says Shalev. "The large accounting firms set up departments that provide these companies with comprehensive services covering financing, accounting, taxation, consulting and payroll. One has to really get to know the technology companies in order to build them an appropriate plan.
"One of the characteristic problems of many business plans was the general definition of the market in which they were operating, and this led to the drawing of erroneous conclusions. A company that developed solutions for the cellular Internet, for example, calculated the forecast of its operations without isolating the field in which it was operating. The calculation was made like this: If the whole market amounts to $20 billion, it is enough to capture 1 percent of it to have revenues of $200 million," explained Burshtine. This formula resulted in double errors because not only were the forecasts overoptimistic, it also turned out that the overall view of the market was inapplicable.
"A business plan must have several legs to stand on," Burshtine continued. "The first is the correct definition of the market and the establishment of correct data. One has to be hooked up to expensive databases and small enterprises cannot bear such costs. Even obtaining the correct data does not solve the problem because the information does not always address the specific needs of the company.
"The second pillar is a clear-cut definition of the product and the need it comes to fill. An awful lot of ideas are not ripe enough and a lot of companies spread themselves out over too many fields.
"The third pillar," says Burshtine, "is the situation of the project in the correct stage of its life cycle. A young company is expected to provide in-depth information regarding development costs and the financial forecast. A company that is already three years old should have long-term forecasts, even at the expense of the depth."
Burshtine notes that companies that have been around for a while eventually provide excellent forecasts compared to those of younger companies.
Benny De-Kalo, a partner in the De-Kalo Ben Yehuda investment house, says that investors do not expect the business plan to describe the market in 30 pages, but rather to focus on the financial forecasts. "They [the investors] want to know how much money is needed, what it will be used for and how long it will last," explains De-Kalo. "If there is no such forecast for 12-18 months, you've got a problem."
De-Kalo does not order a business plan for start-up companies on their first round of capital raising. "There's no need for it," he says. "The investors also know that at the seed stage the plan is only worth the paper it's written on."
"Nowadays there is a need for a model that shows revenues and profits," says Shalev. "It's not enough to prepare a plan that is a marketing paper, like in the distant past."
Kapner notes that one of the main questions asked by potential investors is, "When will we see the first dollar of revenues? There's no doubt about it, profits are back in fashion."

Nosler vs. Barnes X
November 17, 2007, 07:50 PM
What does a barnes X slug have over a Nosler Ballistic Tip or Boat Tail?
Edit: This is from a hunting aspect
November 17, 2007, 08:08 PM
A barnes x bullet is solid copper and will hold together on bigger animals a lot better than the nosler ballistic tip.
November 18, 2007, 07:40 AM
I have actually spoken with ballistic specialists from both companies.
Nosler states the weight retention of their Ballistic Tip(depending on velocity) will be between 40 and 60 percent.
Barnes states the weight retention of the TSX or (X bullet, which are now in limited supply) to be upwards of 90 percent.
I took a fairly large bull elk this season with the 130 gr. TSX in 270 Win from 150 yds. Muzzle velocity 3175 fps. Entry hole as expected, bore diameter. Exit hole, 2 1/2". Animal went about 20 yds and dropped. Hit was just behind the shoulder.
Don't have any first hand experience with the Ballistic Tip, but from all the research I have done it is a lighter game bullet in the smaller calibers
Hope that helps
November 18, 2007, 07:34 PM
I can't speak to the efficacy of the Noslers, but they have always been very accurate in my rifles. However, I was blessed with the rare recovery of a Barnes XLC this year I fired out of my .308 Weatherby. I took the bullet out of a very large cow elk.
She was running full speed from right to left, and the bullet entered about 6" behind her left front shoulder. Shot was about 50 yards. She was quartering away when I hit her, and the bullet destroyed the near lung, traversed her chest, destroyed the far lung and lodged in her neck. I'm not sure how far the bullet actually travelled, but it must have been a good 22-26" of elk chest and flesh, maybe more. Load was 180gr travelling at about 2650fps, using 44gr of 748.
She dropped in a heap and was suffocating when I came up to her. A 10mm 135gr Nosler JHP (at 1450 fps - a great coupe de gras load) to the noggin ended it humanely. After we gutted her, we noticed her esophagus was completely filled with pink, foamy blood. She was done.
This Barnes XLC did a serious number on her, expanded to .63, and retained weight was 179.6gr - 100%. Gotta love it.

Tradition is an important and vital part of any holiday. Traditions of course are what bind humans together in the form of rituals and allow us to recognize the cyclical nature of the world. While we live in a linear existence, traditions allow those that we have cherished and loved to live on in our hearts and memories. Tradition is also why we love Christmas music, especially Christmas music from the great singers of the past.
Bing, Frank, Dean and of course Ella are the people we choose to listen to because they were the voices in the early days of radio and television that lulled and cooed the population through bad and good times, through depression and boom times, through war and in peace and in love and through loneliness. People are emotional and associate sensations with these feelings and connect them to the voices of the people they heard so they play the music for their children, and their children. While not all music from that era is recognized by younger generations, the Christmas music almost always is recognized by all even if they now the names of the artists are not.
Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas is a compilation of carols and songs that will bring the kids and folks together around a tree, underneath a holly bow or a piece of mistletoe; togetherness with a familiar voice that resonates through the moments of our lives. The Christmas carol in itself is a traditional and communal song sung near Christmas or in the winter season. This tradition of singing Christmas carols dates back to around the 13th century. Many of the oldest songs in the caroling tradition are based on medieval chord patterns and structures, which gives them a certain uniqueness of sound that immediately allows us to make a differentiation between these older styles of musical expression from the more modern chord structures. This antiquarian sound allows for us to know that these songs have roots far into the past and therefore has meant something to our ancestors and their ancestors in some form for centuries. This is important to our sense of tradition and family.
Pipe organs, drums, bells, harp and, of course, church choir-style choruses make us think of the Christian tradition. The songs on this recording are all centered by the Christian tradition. Carols however actually have a deeper past and the art was actually a pagan tradition first. A "koros" was a circle of singer and dancers that would accompany the dialogues within Greek drama. Ella is her normal magnificent self with range, command and confidence about her interpretation of the carols. She is complimented by the chorus, but her voice is the main attraction as the chorus compliments her singing as another instrument to back her up. Most of the choruses by the choir are sung in different time from Ella's own chorus, which gives layers and complexity to the music. The recording retains the feel that the choir was in a church setting even though the recording was produced in Capitol Studios, Hollywood on July 17th and 18th of 1967. This compilation was rereleased in 2007 for Capitol Records and offers a retrospective of this recording session 40 years later. If you love Ella and appreciate the Christmas caroling tradition this is an excellent recording to listen to this holiday and future holiday seasons.

Cat Carol ornament and more!
|The Cat Carol is a Christmas song, written by myself, and performed by Meryn Cadell. It also features performances by talented artists such as Ken Myhr (guitarist from Cowboy Junkies, Jane Siberry), Erica Buss, and Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies).
I am constantly amazed by the response the song generates whenever it is played. The Cat Carol has a traditional appeal, but theres an underlying humour which keeps it from getting too sucky. It crosses boundaries of age and audience, and has become a Christmas classic.
The first year it was released, it was the most requested song on Toronto's Q107 rock radio (!). Since then it has received regular airplay across the country during the holiday season. It's been highlighted several times on that fine show, Definitely Not the Opera, and I'm told it was the number one requested Christmas song on CBC radio for many years in a row!
The song also made an appearance in the Christmas episode of After Y2K, a fabulous web-comic featured at Geekculture.com, the project I'm currently involved in. Be sure to check out the Joy of Tech comic too.
You can purchase The Cat Carol on its own CD on this page with a unique 4-page digital booklet and illustrations. You can also purchase a downloadable mp3 version at the top left or bottom left of this webpage.

Cat Carol toddler t-shirts and more!
|The Cat Carol
The cat wanted in to the warm warm house,
but no one would let the cat in
It was cold outside on Christmas Eve,
She meowed and meowed by the door.
The cat was not let in the warm warm house,
And her tiny cries were ignored.
'twas a blizzard now, the worst of the year,
There was no place for her to hide.
Just then a poor little mouse crept by,
He had lost his way in the snow.
He was on his last legs and was almost froze,
The cat lifted him with her paw.
She said "Poor mouse do not be afraid,
because this is Christmas Eve.
"On this freezing night we both need a friend,
"I wont hurt you - stay by my side."
She dug a small hole in an icy drift,
This is where they would spent the night.
She curled herself 'round her helpless friend,
Protecting him from the cold.
When Santa came by near the end of the night,
the reindeer started to cry.
They found the cat lying there in the snow,
and they could see that she had died.
They lifted her up from the frozen ground,
and placed her into the sleigh.
It was then they saw the little mouse wrapped up,
she had kept him warm in her fur.
"Oh thank you Santa for finding us!
"Dear cat wake up we are saved!"
..."Im sorry mouse but your friend has died,
theres nothing more we can do.
"On Christmas Eve she gave you her life,
the greatest gift of them all."
Santa lifted her up into the night sky,
and laid her to rest among the stars.
"Dear mouse dont cry you are not alone,
you will see your friend every year.
"Each Christmas a Cat Constellation will shine,
to remind us that her loves still here."
|Here's a snippet of a very kind review by Christopher Thelen from the Daily Vault. (You can read the full review here.)
Thanks Christopher!
And some more kind words from Jack Lafreniere...
Thanks Jack!
But to be fair here's "Another view of the Cat Carol"...
Oh well, I guess you can't win 'em all.
Wishing you all the very best,

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday said that he did not leave behind the people hailing from Seemandhra region and have been taking steps to ensure their protection in Hyderabad.
Addressing TDP-BJP combine meetings in Patencheru, Kukatpally and other wards, Naidu said Hyderabad belongs to everyone who lives here. He also praised TRS for changing its stand towards settlers and said people from others regions had played a major role in development of Hyderabad.
Naidu claimed that it was during his regime that Hyderabad city got a new identity. Besides construction of Hitec City, the TDP regime improved city's infrastructure and brought it on par with other international cities. He said that the victory of TDP-BJP combine in GHMC elections was essential to continue the development process. He alleged that the previous Congress regime and present TRS rule have pushed the city in backward direction. City's revenues were badly hit and Hyderabad's professionals lost their significance at the global level, he said.
