i picked this book up on a lark as
part of a buy two get one free deal
at the local barnes and noble. i had
certainly heard of the book before, but
only the title rung a bell with me.
it was published here here in 1998
while i was in grad school.
i never read for pleasure while in uni--
it was one thing i missed a lot despite
the fact that i love being a student.
santiago decides not to follow what
his family wishes for him, to become a
priest, but instead follow his desire
to travel and see more of the world by
becoming a sheepherder. a recurrent dream
of treasures at the egyptian pyramids
prompts the boy to abandon his sheep
to pursue his Personal Legend.
the Personal Legend, as the boy is
told by various wise men he encounters,
is what every person is born to achieve.
it is his destiny in this life which will
make him truly happy. but as humans
full of foibles as we are, we learn
to suppress our Personal Legend as
we grow older. We let fear of failure, fear
of success even, and the small details of
surviving life get in the way.
coelho's prose is straightforward,
clean and simple. prose that i always
admire in a writer. it is the reason i love
ursula le guin's fantasy books so much--
for her simple prose and storytelling.
coelho tells a uncomplicated tale which
every person reading can understand and
relate to--the relinquishing of our dreams--
what would truly make us happy. and the
courage it takes to never give up.
my issue with the story is that it seemed
to get didactic at times. yes, it is indeed
a fable, but in certain points in the story,
the message got heavy-handed for me.
it certainly is a fine line. but overall, i did
enjoy the book. i didn't like it as much as
i wanted to. i was really drawn in at the
beginning, taken by the hand. it reminded me
of many fantasy stories i loved.
it was toward the middle, when i felt
the author's message a little too strongly,
but he led me back again with good
storytelling. i can see why so many people
would have loved this book. it's an inspiring,
thought-provoking tale written in beautiful
prose by coelho.

i liked this book when i read it, but i also happen to think it's probably one of the most overrated books ever. people call it life-changing and all of that, and it just really isn't.

I thoroughly object to this book. It was called life-changing, and fans thought it spiritual when it was just ordinary.

HI-tech spy cam technology that can recognise banned sports fans at the gate and alert security about criminals is being looked at by Melbourne's major stadium chiefs.
Facial recognition technology has the backing of Victoria Police, who say it will help combat violence and mayhem at major events and stop repeat offenders entering grounds.
The system — which scans a patron's image at the turnstile and compares their identity with a database of known troublemakers in seconds — is used at stadiums in the US, Germany and South America.
Stadium bosses in Melbourne have been briefed on its potential and several are evaluating its possible use.
The database could be used Australia wide.
With police trying to stamp out flares, violence and vandalism at sports such as A-League soccer, Commander Rick Nugent said the technology could be a valuable tool.
"Victoria Police support the use of any form of technology that can improve the safety and security of fans attending sporting events at Melbourne's iconic venues and stadiums," he said.
"In general, we've seen improvements in patron behaviour at major sporting events across Melbourne in recent years, but there are always those few individuals who continue to do the wrong thing."
Football Federation Australia issues mandatory five-year exclusions from all affiliated soccer matches for people caught with flares inside grounds and has the power to issue lifelong bans for dangerous behaviour.
But the penalties rely on security and police recognising banned fans and keeping them out of stadiums.
Commander Nugent said facial recognition technology could ensure banned fans never entered stadiums again.
"These venues already have world-class CCTV technology and improved surveillance systems, so facial recognition technology is just another way of assisting police and security monitor events," he said.
Etihad Stadium spokesman Bill Lane said management was assessing the technology.
"We always review as required and support any measure that would assist the police with any public disorder problems,'' he said.
MCC spokesman Shane Brown said MCG management had not made a decision but was always willing to explore new technology.
But Melbourne and Olympic Parks spokeswoman Enna Giampiccolo said the technology was not being considered "at this stage'' and other means were being used.

Video: SunRun President Lynn Jurich on Raising $1.3 Billion for Rooftop Solar
The video is courtesy of The Atlantic, which interviewed SunRun President Lynn Jurich about her company's successful, innovative business model. Great stuff, check it out.
…Lynn Jurich explains in the video above that her company gets money from banks — hundreds of millions of dollars — and then uses that money to finance the installation of solar systems on homes. Homeowners pay on a monthly basis, not up front, at rates that are comparable to or cheaper than the grid (SunRun says).
We still don't know how much money SunRun makes on each home, but we do know that the company's model has exploded. Most new solar is now being installed with the leasing model and other companies like SolarCity and Sungevity are trying to horn in on SunRun's business (even if SunRun remains the largest solar leasing company).
The takeaway from SunRun is simple, though: sometimes the innovations that matter aren't technical but financial (or even social). Of course, developing more efficient, less expensive solar cells helps, but the technology development alone cannot guarantee successful market deployments.

I love unicorns, but like, earnest unicorns, none of this pooping-rainbows nonsense. I want my unicorns majestic and proud, riding around on rainbows and leaving stars in their wake. Yes I know it's a little silly, but I'm not going to hide behind irony so that I can be an adult in a unicorn shirt. I'm just going to wear the damn unicorn shirt.

I am looking for...
|PenPal or Email and Marriage.
|I am looking for a woman who shares the same Christian moral values as me. I WANT a plain, simple girl who does not like lying and deceitfulness. I WANT someone who wants a relationship leading to a one-time, long-term marriage - forever. Some one who understands, marriage is always evolving; that a marriage has its ups and downs. If you do not understand this you are not the women for me. Moved to the Filipino Steps Apart Site. You do not need to be beautiful, pretty is enough. You must have a thin to slim body shape (sorry men are such swine). It is essential you have a good sense of humor and like to laugh. I feel I would require an educated woman or a woman with a fine mind. (a fine mind does not mean devious, deceitful or cunning).

Me, I am an older, wiser type. I am a responsible, fair, loving, loyal, honest, considerate, patient, intelligent, diligent and witty (some say) person. I have and I like people with good Christian values and morals. I have a good sense of humour and like to practise it. I am a fit, energetic person with a good mind and good manners. I am not an overbearing, mean or unnecessary jealous type, in fact I like to be easy going. When I was younger, I was very competitive; I actively took part in sports such as: boxing, tae kwon-do, cross-country running, orienteering, 10,000 meters, hiking and parachuting, but these days I just keep fit but I still like hiking when the mood strikes me. Sometimes I am quite energetic and want to do things spontaneously and other times I just want to sit down and watch a movie, read a book, listen to music or go for a walk in the park.
What I like ...

- The new closed-cockpit version of the revolutionary DeltaWing racecar is on display at Sebring International Raceway ahead of Saturday's Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race.
- The coupe is described as "a no-brainer for safety," by DeltaWing Racing Cars.
- The open-cockpit version will compete in LMP1 in Saturday's race.
SEBRING, Florida — The new closed-cockpit version of the revolutionary DeltaWing racecar is on display at Sebring International Raceway ahead of Saturday's Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race.
The tricycle-shaped car, with ultra-narrow configuration of the front wheels, debuted in roadster format at last year's 24 Hours of Le Mans as the experimental entry added to the 55-car field.
Don Panoz's Elan Motorsports Technologies is continuing development of the car and fielding it in competition.
The open-cockpit car will compete Saturday in the Le Mans Prototype 1 class, the top category, with drivers Andy Meyrick and Olivier Pla.
A showcar version of the DeltaWing coupe is on display at Sebring. It features a new tub and wider driver greenhouse, among other new modifications from last year's experimental entry to make it compliant with 2014 LMP1 regulations.
The driver's position is in the center of the cockpit, rather than the conventional left or right in a two-seat configuration. Not only does it distinguish the car visibly and in perception, it adds safety, according to Elan Motorsports engineer Simon Marshall.
"It's best for us to put the driver in the middle to protect them," Marshall said. "It's going to be good for visibility as well."
The car will debut in the American Le Mans Series later this year, possibly as early as at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in May, according to DeltaWing Racing Cars.
Both the new coupe and the roadster competing at Sebring will feature a new Elan Motorsports Technology 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The entry last year at Le Mans was in partnership with Nissan's Nismo division, which provided the powertrain, and Dan Gurney's All-American Racers Group.
The triangular-shaped car was developed as a prototype for the new IndyCar chassis by car designer Ben Bowlby. After IndyCar chose Dallara as its chassis supplier for 2012 and beyond, the DeltaWing was left in limbo, but received an invitation from Le Mans as the 56th car in the field for the famous 24-hour race.
It ran respectably, but was eliminated after only 75 laps when it was punted off course by another car.
Edmunds says: Last year's Le Mans effort had the novelty of the car, plus the credibility of Gurney and Nismo to help it. Now that it has proven to have a measure of competitive capability, it's up to the Panoz team to show that the car can be a contender, and not just an odd-looking vehicle.

Unanswered: Couple Questions.
Hi. I have been checking out postgresql lately and i have a couple questions.
#1. With a single user database that was on that users computer would security still be an issue?
#2. What would be a good way to distribute a postgresql database(probably on mac to mac's)?
For question #2 I was thinking of just writing an Installer that would use a script to first install a postgresql server, then move all the files into place(like the database pg_dump file) then a second script that restores the database onto the server. How does that seem?
P.S First Post!!

Security is always an issue. Even with a single user database. It is less of an issue with a single user db, but, it still is an issue.
You should ensure that the pg_hba.conf configuration file is set to disallow external access to the server.
You should ensure that the postgres user does not have admin access to the machine.
For question 2, The scripting approach is the usual one taken.Lou

without protection -- to face Kansas City at Gillette Stadium.
In fact, Joseph has not missed a minute since the practice clash that would have ruled out weaker players for a match less than 72 hours away.
"I injured the nose in practice [that Thursday]," said Joseph. "I was going up for a header, and [Revolution forward] Jamie's [Holmes] elbow caught me."
After practice, Joseph was rushed to see a familiar face: his doctor. Joseph broke his nose last season, with most of the trauma occurring to the cartilage rather than the bone. Joseph attempted to play with a protective mask on his face, but memorably cast it aside when it impaired his breathing.
"The doctor was surprised to see me again, especially so soon after the last one," said Joseph. "He took me for an X-ray and then sent me to another doctor, a specialist."
The specialist told Joseph that the source of his pain was in the orbital bone. Rather than the cartilage, the bone, located just above the cartilage that comprises the nose, is more easily remedied.
Doctors broke the bone again that Friday to reset it in order for Joseph's nose to heal properly.
"It was painful for a few days," Joseph said.
Combative in central midfield, Joseph has to be wary of a mistimed aerial challenge that could force him to the sidelines. Or worse, force him to don the mask once again.
"I'm trying to stay out of the corner kicks and the penalty area," said Joseph. "I don't want to make it worse. The doctors wanted me to wear a protective mask, but I didn't want to wear it."
Although he did not miss any time for the potentially catastrophic collision, Joseph is still recovering from the blow.
"I'm definitely to the point now where I'm feeling better," said Joseph. "I should be 100 percent in the next week or so."

Support » Theme: Chun » Cannot change size and form of menu
3 years, 6 months ago
I love this theme but I am having a slight problem with the menu. No matter what I do in css with either the primary menu or the portfolio menu, I cannot change the font size, nor can I add a box around the primary menu. It seems that no matter what I put in the menu css that it doesn't register on the actual site. I know I am using the right css because other changes I make on the site show up just fine, it is only the menus that give me this problem. Any help at all would be appreciated.
Hello there,

Research on Multi-LEDs-Based UV Communication System
This paper introduces the theory of UV communication system. The UV LEDs driven by DC serve as the light source in the transmitter. The receiver containing the filter and photomultiplier tube is designed to realize the photoelectric detection. The design scheme and principles of UV communication system are described in detail. The experiments are carried out under different test conditions. The authors have analyzed the relationship among the communication distance and the bit error rate, as well as the data transmission rate. Furthermore, the results show that the system can meet the needs of short-range wireless UV communication.

Complaint Review: Midland Credit Management, Inc.

8875 Aero Drive Suite 200
San Diego, California
- Phone:
- Web:
- Category: Credit & Debt Services
Midland Credit Management (Midland Credit Management, Inc.) Midland Credit Management is threatening and abusive San Diego, California
Rather than writing the whole story, I will share with you a letter that I wrote to their company.
To: Midland Credit Management Inc.
8875 Aero Drive Suite 200
San Diego, CA 92123
July 31, 2008
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in response to a threatening, abusive and distressful phone call that I received from Midland Credit Management on July 30, 2008 around 8:45am. Prior to this call, I had been under the impression that my dealings with MCM had ended in late 2007. Let me first give you a history of my experience with your company.
In 2004, I was contacted by a representative from Midland Credit Management who stated that they could help me to pay off a debt that I had acquired with a credit card company while I was in college. At no time did they tell me that they had purchased my account, nor did I give them authorization to do so. The representative claimed that they could help me lower my debt and avoid legal action from the CREDIT CARD COMPANY (not MCM) if I agreed to make monthly payments of $25.00 to MCM. Being nave and just out of college, I had no clue about what was involved with paying off debt, and I decided to put my trust in your representative. I paid $25.00 a month for about a year, until I was contacted by a representative who said I would now have to pay $50.00 a month. Again, not knowing any better, I agreed and began paying this amount for another year or so.
Eventually, I stopped receiving monthly bills in the mail from MCM. I made several attempts to contact the representative I had last spoken to, but I received no response. Months later, when I did finally get in contact with someone, I let them know that I was not comfortable making payments to a company that was not even sending me bills or monthly statements. There was no way I was going to arbitrarily send a check to MCM each month without receiving some sort of confirmation that my account was actually being paid off. Still, even after this conversation, I did not receive bills. Again, I refused to send checks to a company when I was not even certain that my money was being put toward my debt. Finally, in late 2007, I received a phone call from a MCM representative regarding my lapse in payments. I explained the reason and he agreed with my logic. I asked about the payments to MCM, and if there was really any reason to make them considering that the credit card company had not contacted me in over three years, and I believed that the debt was listed as a charge-off on my credit report. He told me that, unless I just wanted to clear the debt for personal reasons, that there was no reason that I should continue paying Midland Credit Management. I confirmed that I did not feel that MCM was helping me in any way, and that I would not continue making payments. He confirmed that this would be okay, and I believed that my relationship with Midland Credit Management was effectively ended.
Now, nearly a year later, I am once again hearing from your company. This time, the woman I spoke to was very verbally abusive. I told her about the 2007 conversation that I had with your representative, and she told me that MCM had PURCHASED my debt and that I was legally obligated to pay that debt to your company. At NO TIME was I aware, nor did I give authorization, for my debt to be purchased by your company. I did not ask for MCM to do that, and I did not sign any binding documentation to allow it. The woman threatened me with legal action, and refused to listen to anything that I had to say. I told her that she had no legal authority, and that she should stop personally threatening me. She said that she knew I had a job, because she called there prior to calling me at home, so I should be able to make monthly payments. Not only did I tell her that she was NOT to call me job again, I also found this statement to be HIGHLY offensive and presumptuous, as she has absolutely no knowledge of my financial situation. I let her know that I am pregnant and that she was really upsetting me, but she continued to make threats and be very aggressive. Several times I asked her not to call me by my nickname Ali but, instead, to call me Mrs. Barbieri. She did not abide by my request, but rudely called me Ali throughout the conversation. In all, she left me physically ill and emotionally distraught.
After the conversation, I researched your company online and found a MULTITUDE of requests for class-action suits, stories exactly like mine in which the person had NO knowledge that their account had been purchased, and innumerous complaints about your shady business dealings. It is imperative that you are aware that I will not continue to make any payments to your company, have every intention of contacting a lawyer to have MCM deleted from my credit report, and will pursue further legal action if MCM continues to harass me and cause me undue emotional distress. It is now very clear to me that Midland Credit Management has a history of questionable business dealings and poor customer service, and that you are NOT a reputable company.
Very Seriously,

Dental implants are also known as fixtures or endosseous implants. Surgically placed into the skull- or jawbone, these components act as an orthodontic anchor or an anchor to secure a facial or dental prosthesis. Last-mentioned can be a denture, crown or bridge.
To make this process work, material like Titanium is used to bond intimately to the bone, a process called osseointegration. The fixture is left to osseointegrate and heal for a certain amount of time, whereafter an abutment, bridge, denture or artificial tooth is added.
To sum up, dental implants are surgically secured replacements for roots of missing teeth. Acting as supports for a replacement tooth (crowns) or even a full set of teeth.
As already discussed, there are three common options when it comes replacing teeth. These are bridges, removable dentures, and dental implants. Each of these alternatives offers their advantages and disadvantages, but if your number one priority is appearance, then implants will be your best choice. Let's look at the options in more detail
A removable denture, or flipper, is precisely what the name implies. It looks just like the retainer often worn by teenagers, with an artificial tooth attached. It can be inserted and taken out as you wish. The main advantage of a removable denture is the fact that there is no surgery involved, and therefore, it can be used immediately. As they are not fixed in your mouth, it is possible for them to move in your mouth while eating sneezing or even eating. This can cause the dentures to crack and eventually break. In some cases, these dentures have to be taken out while eating, which many people might find embarrassing.
A bridge is a more long-term option to deal with missing teeth as it supports the replacement denture using the real teeth as anchor. The dentist will produce three dentures, all linked together. This treatment has the advantage of being somewhat cheaper than an implant. Nevertheless, many dentists do not like bridges since it weakens two completely perfect molars or incisors. Bridges might likewise not be as aesthetically pleasing as the three dentures can often seem like one big molar.
Implants are the closest things to a real tooth. The method involves inserting a steel or titanium screw directly into the jawbone. After recovery, a replacement denture is securely attached to the screw. Dental implants can be slightly more expensive than bridges, and because of the healing time, it can also take longer. However, this offers the most realistic appearance, and it lasts much longer. Furthermore, you do not have to damage other molars or incisors during the process.
In conclusion, dental implants are the very best possible option to change a missing molar or incisor. In spite of the additional expense and time they require, they supply the most durable and lifelike solution.

I was lucky enough to hear Barde at the Mariposa Festival in Toronto in the 1970s. And I was smart enough to buy their first album, which I have kept in excellent condition. I was blown away by their performance at Mariposa, and I wish that I had bought their second LP when it came out. In any case, I plan to convert the one I have to CD so as to preserve it, and so I can listen to this GREAT band more easily and not have to worry about caring for the LP. If you want to hear an innovative, energetic, and truly original Celtic sound, listen to Barde!
Barde was the first major Canadian Celtic band. Their first album "Barde" 1977 was heralded as a departure for Celtic music. Influenced strongly by the Chieftains and the Bothy Band, these Montreal musicians (Richard Chapman, Chris Crilly,Pierre Guérin, Toby Kinsella, Ed Moore and Eliot Selick) recorded and toured throughout Canada and the Eastern US from 1977 to 1980. After then there was a parting of the ways for three of the members. New non-Celtic musicians joined for a couple of years of touring and one more album: "Voyages." This final album is generally regarded as an unfortunate departure from the band's strength into more inward-looking compositions and concerts featuring rock sidemen. A bright flame of innovative arrangements of ancient music, Barde's Celtic albums featured intricate melodic and rhythmic resurrections of Renaissance, Baroque and classical influences. Vocal arrangements were often choral and grand. Barde was considered to be at the forefront of both the Celtic revival in North America and the adventurous new experiments in pan-Celtic fusion. This was the first Celtic band to include African percussion and a deftly disguised quasi-orchestral approach to this exciting music.
Following appearances in New York and Chicago, Rolling Stone listed Barde on its 1979 New Year's Wish List. Enthusiasm for Barde's music has not faded in the thirty years since its demise. An advertised 1998 reunion concert in Montreal sold out in a day. One admirer even chartered a plane to Montreal, only to find that the venue had been shut down for late-night noise complaints. It is rumoured that all the tracks from the first two albums are to be uploaded in the near future. Let's all keep Googling.

04 Apr New Yarns: Springtime Edition
With the weather warming up, we're getting fabulous new spring fabrics and starting our spring sewing classes, but you can still knit when the weather gets warm. And to help you do it, we've got some exciting new cotton and cotton blend yarns to inspire you.
HiKoo Tee Cakes: This super-bulky yarn is made from cotton jersey strips, the same fabric as t-shirts, so it's soft and wonderfully weighty. If you like the giant stitches of Malabrigo Rasta, this yarn is a great spring and summer option for dramatic accessories. It also makes for great baskets and bags. Depending on the fabric used, the thickness, weight, and even color of this yarn can change, so be sure to get enough for your project.
Espresso: Why should wool have all the fun? This chainette-plied, cotton-acrylic blend, bulky yarn comes in vibrant variegated colors. Check out the pattern book for Espresso on Ravelry or in the shop for tons of inspiration; the simple but stunning Cimone uses just two skeins!
Modern Cotton: We've carried Modern Cotton in the past, but are so excited to offer some more complex colors to compliment the kid-friendly hues. This worsted weight cotton and rayon blend has awesome shine and drape. We love it for baby blankets and sweaters for all ages.
Indigo: If there's one yarn that makes us think of the beach, it's Indigo. Made from recycled jeans (the yarn is 95% cotton, 5% non-animal fibers like pocket linings and zipper tape) and in the shades of denim you'd expect, along with a few perfectly complementary brights, this yarn is soft (and will only get softer as the fibers get broken in). The Indigo pattern book (available in the shop) had the same beachy thought that we did, and the sweaters and accessories are perfect for the shore. The textured, matte-finish yarn is also great for washcloths and market bags.
Weekend DK: Spring is a great time to work with thinner yarns; the resulting fabric is cooler and lighter, and a thin yarn can give you a great drape. We love Classic Elite's Firefly and Bella Lino (linen and rayon blends), but wanted to introduce a light, washable, kid-friendly yarn. Weekend DK blends acrylic and cotton for a soft, machine washable yarn that's great for sweaters, bags, and even wraps. We chose a combination of bright and subtle colors (we love that green!) perfect for the many uses of this versatile yarn.

I think I may have found an answer to my boot problem. After reading the tutorial on system image restore I saw this statement. "You can fool it into thinking that simply by marking the 7 partition as active. May be as well to make it a "secondary" system partition , by copying across the...

The Art of Depression
Over the course of my life, I have dealt with something that doctors call "Depression." This mental disorder has cost me countless friendships and important parts of my life. It has affected me in many ways, from my eating and sleeping patterns, to my interactions with others like family and friends. I didn't know I had it until my Junior year of High School. It slowly became worse till I couldn't really handle it. It started by just feeling sad out of the blue. Then, it gradually started to suck up my energy; I became constantly tired and irritable. I distanced myself from others, I isolated myself in my room for hours crying without a reason, I even stopped enjoying what I used to. When anxiety came, friendships started leaving. This made me push friends loved ones away, to the point of complete loneliness. Slowly, I was reaching rock bottom, suddenly I would find myself thinking about suicide or self-harming. I was sinking in a bottomless pit and there was nothing I could do about it. Got treatment and everything seemed to have "improved." Now, I am a sophomore in college and it still haunts me. This semester has been very tough for me, lots of feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, darkness, and self-destruction.
People fail to realize that depression is not an emotion or just a feeling. For me, depression has been everything that is holding me down. Slowly, it has consumed and extracted the happiness away from me and from everything I love. When I told my friends I had depression, there was an awkward and uncomfortable silence. When I told my parents, they went into denial, they said that it wasn't a real issue and that everything was in my head. Depression became a taboo in my life, I didn't want anybody to judge me or feel sorry for me, so I thought I could fight it alone. I was very wrong. This is something that I have to live with for the rest of my life.
This is a series of 8 self-portrait photographs that try to portray what depression and anxiety feel like to me.

A Founding Father, a Victorian novelist and a Russian revolutionary encounter each other and hash out their views of scripture, the nature of God and the true meaning of existence. Directed by Mark August, this perceptive comedy is a blistering battle of wits written by Scott Carter, Executive Producer of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher." This upbeat work examines what happens when great men of history are forced to repeat it.

It's a tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat that has simultaneously shocked, awed, and delighted audiences across the world. An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to 19th century London seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd, played by Damon J. Bolling, to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop played by Alaina Beauloye, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up, and the carnage has only just begun. This dark Tony Award® winner for Best Musical features music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and is based on the 1973 play "Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street" by Christopher Bond.

The bathroom is probably the first room you think of when it comes to health, and the last room you think of when it comes to technology. But as health and fitness become increasingly connected, it makes sense that more and more smart home devices are popping up in the bathroom, starting with the humble scale. Yes, some smart bathroom scales can tweet your weight (with your permission, of course), but that isn't really what makes them smart. The main reason to pick up a smart scale is because it can give you a clear picture of your health and fitness without making you do a lot of work.
Unsurprisingly, the best smart bathroom scales are compatible with the best fitness trackers. When you pair a Wi-Fi- or Bluetooth-connected scale with a fitness tracker, you typically use just one app to see data from both devices. Add in a heart rate monitor or at-home blood pressure cuff, and you have even more information being collected and correlated, no spreadsheet and daily note-taking required.
Maybe you don't want to track your weight over time, but chances are, your doctors and health care team do. Or maybe it's not you, but someone in your family who needs to keep an eye on their body weight. Smart scales are smart enough to know the difference between a few different users and can track their weights separately and privately. Sharing data among family members and doctors is usually an option, too.
When you start using a smart bathroom scale, your weight is automatically logged every time you step on. Many of the best scales also measure body fat, and some track bone density and water percentage. Some can even read your resting heart rate through your feet.
While many people want to track their weight and the number of steps they take in a day to get a better sense of their health, some people are a little more, shall we say, excited, to get on the scale every morning. Athletes and people who train regularly will want a scale that has not only great features, but a lot of other companion apps and tools that can help them on their journey.
Physically fit people who like the Polar brand of runner's watches and fitness trackers will find the Polar Balance pretty dreamy. The scale itself doesn't have any wow factor, but the Flow companion app is superb. It makes specific suggestions each day for what you can do to attain your weight goal, such as eating four ounces less pizza or running an additional 29 minutes. Flow is one of the most intense fitness and health tracking apps, calculating your training intensity day by day, charting your VO2Max and lactic acid threshold, and more. It's not for the casual couch potato. If you're already a Polar user, the scale is a great addition. But if all this talk of VO2Max makes your head spin, you're much better off with a smart Wi-Fi scale that has a simpler user experience.
Wi-Fi vs. Bluetooth
Smart scales are either Bluetooth-enabled, or both Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-enabled. Wi-Fi scales generally cost more because they require more components to work. They are also much more convenient.
To get your daily weigh-ins off of a Bluetooth scale and into the app where they'll be tracked, you need a Bluetooth device by your side. If you leave your companion smartphone, fitness tracker, or running watch in the other room, you're out of luck until it's within Bluetooth range. (Some scales can save a recorded weight until the next sync, but the cheaper ones do not.) A Wi-Fi-enabled scale doesn't have this problem. It syncs your data as long as it has a decent signal from your Wi-Fi router. In my experience, Wi-Fi syncing is also more reliable, whereas Bluetooth syncing fails from time to time.
Pregnancy Mode
Women who are pregnant or who might become pregnant have unique needs when it comes to tracking their weight. Plus many pregnant women do not want impedance measurements, which are taken by way of mild electrical impulses sent through the feet to estimate body composition (i.e. body fat, bone density, and water percentage). People who have an implanted health device, such as a pacemaker, are often warned not to use impedance scales either.
While a few scales that support impedance measurements have an option to turn them off, only one scale, the QardioBase, has a full pregnancy-tracking mode. When enabled, impedance is shut off, and the scale flashes a happy face every time you step on it, rather than showing your weight in numbers. The companion Qardio mobile app helps new moms slowly work back to their pre-pregnancy weight, if that's their goal.
Having personally tested and rated a number of smart scales, I'm not at all surprised to see the direct correlation between price and rating. The best smart scales cost more. What makes them more expensive is support for Wi-Fi syncing and a lot of time and energy invested in creating a great app experience.
The least expensive scale to make this list, the Health o Meter Nuyu, costs under $50; it has the fewest features and the most limitations, but it's still a good place to start. Some of our top-rated picks cost close to $150 each. Before you invest in any smart scale, it's good to know the sweet spot of the price range is between $99 and $129.
Fitness Underfoot
If you're looking for a new bathroom scale, I highly recommend buying one that's smart. There's real value for individuals, families, and health care providers to be able to track weight accurately and effortlessly over long periods of time. No matter your needs, you're sure to find a scale that suits them on this list. And make sure to check back soon. New versions of some of our favorite models—the Fitbit Aria 2 and the QardioBase 2—are hitting the market, and we plan to review them as soon as they are available.

Unanswered: dbsqlexec and insert triggers....
Hi All,
In the application I am currently working on I insert rows into a sybase table using dbsqlexec. The table has an insert trigger. Sometimes the insert trigger fails but dbsqlexec does not return an error even though the insert trigger failed. Is there any way to catch the trigger error? I have tried calling dbresults after the dbsqlexec but that too returns a SUCCESS status.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

There are two things to watch for: (1) Whether the zinc oxide would harm the fetus, and (2) Whether the zinc oxide would stimulate a miscarriage. (1) As long as the zinc oxide is not nano-sized, very little should be absorbed through the skin. Zinc oxide is a recommended sunscreen for pregnant women. Please note that you cannot just compare one form of zinc (i.e., dietary forms) with another. (2) Yes, zinc is a recommended daily nutrient for all people, and the dosage increases for pregnant women; the body uses zinc to generate new cells and new tissue. However, too much during pregnancy can be dangerous. Because I don't know the limits - and I have seen no data regarding how much zinc oxide (in the non-nano form) actually absorbs through the skin, I will be applying zinc oxide in my homemade sunscreen, but in moderation.

LJUBLJANA, March 19 (Reuters) - Slovenian banks had joint net profit of 38.8 million euros in January, down from 43.5 million in the same month of 2016, the Bank of Slovenia said in a report on its website which showed profit was down partly due to lower interest rate income.
It said the amount of bank loans, whose repayment has been delayed by 90 days or more, kept steady at 1.9 billion euros in January or 5.8 percent of all loans, unchanged from December. (Reporting By Marja Novak; Editing by Elaine Hardcastle)

Hey Grant,
I've been dedicated to changing my life and using you and your systems for about the last 6-12 months…because of your
10x way of thinking I recently left the company I was with where I was a 25% owner. The other partners didn't "get it" no urgentlcy to make $$ no desire to be great and dominate.
I found a company that has similar thought processes to you and now me. I "sold" myself to them based on telling them how I've really internalized your teachings and was ready to help some company "blow up"
They made me an offer, everyone I trust said take it. But being more confident and bold(like you teach) I countered and asked for twice as much..they gave it to me! Plus some extras that I didn't even ask for! Amazing!
Fast forward to my first week in the field and I've sold three of my first 5 prospects and set the company record for a "net sale" then broke my own record the next time out!!! In short , I'm on fire!! Your stuff has awakened the confidence in me that has been lying dominant for the past several years. Thank you for being a mentor and spreading such a positive and influential message.
Side note…the sale that I broke the record with had me at the negotiating table for 5 plus hours (our avg. time spent is about 2)
The longer I sat there the more I thought about how you say that salespeople don't sell because they underestimate the time and effort it takes to close. So I decided I would do "whatever it takes" and it worked. "If they ain't asking you to leave, they ain't asking you to leave"
I plan on making this my best year ever and will be looking forward to more good stuff from you.
Sean a.k.a the Flanman
Best email I've read from you this year…just gave me a new perspective…thanks Grant!
Preach it Grant!
Thanks Grant…Viewing your videos and watching Young Hustlers..I just joined an MLM and love the product but I had no guidance and support. I have been watching your info for the last 2 months ..You have been the guiding star…I will keep you updated…Thanks again
I started blogging recently and have been putting in ten time the effort as I want to stand out!!
And this blog post just makes it more easy…
Sean- now THAT is a great story !
way to go
Don't join an MLM. Unless you're in there early you'll just be making other people money and you'll be annoying your friends and family.
p.s.- my offer still stands at 500
Dear Ass-clowns,
I have learned a lot from your material, and I have truly begun to take leaps and bounds from the confidence and conviction that I have begun to develop from Grant. However, the price of your Sales University is highway robbery, and casts a shadow over your entire campaign that makes it look like a giant scam.
Going to post every half hour for a week , you know what lets do one better …every 15 mins
Why do you feel this way ? Shouldnt education be your greatest investment?
I've tried posting stuff on twitter relentlessly. I've also tried instagram, but it never goes anywhere. I kinda feel like it's a waste of time, unless I'm doing something wrong? I'm open to suggestions. The only thing I've found that works in my line of work to get leads or sales is phone and email prospecting. These both in high volume results in projects for my company to estimate, especially when I call major metropolitan areas.
Don't start a business – there might be competition out there for the same product or service you're selling. So unless you're a thought leader bringing out new products that no one has ever seen, you'll just annoy people with your marketing efforts. Don't accept a sales position with a company because you're in direct competition with the other sales people and will only be making the company money and annoying the sales people. I'm not writing this to be harsh, only to show you that what you just said told me something important about you.

Congrats on your success!
I think one key is to keep posting relevant infomration of value. Grant is posting tid bits of valuable information and leveraging it with all of his other activieites. Plus some "shocking" and "attention" getting comments and statements. I agree – if your providing a real value to your audience – don't stop. When the "haters" as Grant calls them come out it means your moving in the right direction. Thanks Grant for your posts!
Sing it GC!
You could be right. I read this: Don't join an MLM. Don't do it. If you're not one of the first then you will not make money. And after a bit of thought I responded with my own comments. If I misread or misunderstood, no worries – hopefully both of our comments will be of use to someone.
I think you're missing the point Charlene. Good luck to you.
Yea I understand you feel that way. You got the 7 Top Sales Secrets right? Have you been back recently to watch it? They edited most of the pitch out.
Grant has a lot of great material but the thing that pissed me off was paying $300 for his webinar rerun that was basically a giant commercial to sell his sales university access for $4,000. I have gotten better material for free off YouTube Grant videos. I just expected a little bit more from his webinar for that cost. I can only expect the university will let me down as well.
I had this same feeling initially when I started in sales. At first I wouldn't even have spent $500. And then I made investments and seen a huge return. When I quit thinking about the $500 or $4,000 and started thinking about the $200,000 I was missing, I did what I needed to to learn the skills to get what I wanted.
Yes, very negative – which is what I read in the comment I was replying to. "Don't go it because you'll only annoy people". Me? I think she should stay in that MLM, rock it to the point of being an outstanding leader and focus on being online branding herself so if something happens with that company she can move easily to another one.
That's good. The marketing just came a little too heavy for a paid product the first go around. Happy to help~
DJ Perry
Don't start a business…don't be a salesperson…wow what negativity. Yeah competition is tough with salespeople and tougher with starting a new business, but if you're good at what you do the rewards for succeeding at these are very high, hence the reason a lot of people go for it. Sales is a field to be studied just like any other field and the reason people fail is because they don't study. You wouldn't expect to attempt surgery without learning how to be a surgeon, and so you shouldn't attempt sales without putting in the effort to learn the craft. As for a business, new businesses with improvements replace and put old companies out of business all the time, just look at fast casual dining. Like Grant said if you expect to stay in business as a company you have to dominate the industry and hold on to that grasp, and yes it is hard to dethrone the current leader of any industry or product, but it's doable.
My man! You ready for the new Whatever It Takes coming out on Friday? Another great episode.
