In the first part of our innovation series, we examined the concept of capturing, leveraging, and growing intangible assets for small and medium sized businesses. We care about innovation as it is at least eighty percent of your company's value — more if you are a startup.
In our work, we unfortunately have seen some colossal blunders with intangible assets. To successfully monetize your valuable intellectual property (IP) requires a firm commitment to the following:
Tip #1: Regular Review– Particularly Trade Secrets
Many think that filing for protection is all that is needed for an IP strategy. However, sometimes the best way to protect your IP is to keep it as a trade secret. That requires diligence with employee and contractor confidentiality provisions.
You risk your entire business if you do not regularly review all your innovation and seek professional advice on the type of protection.
Tip #2: Documentation Matters
Whether it's a trademark usage dispute, a patent troll letter, or a software code review for acquisition, proof of ownership or first use is important. Developers often think that they do not have to read open source licenses.
Reading licenses and keeping track of all documentation for inventions or code development will matter when you raise money or sell.
Tip #3: Check for Permission
How many times have you heard about companies being fined for using someone else's song, picture, or video? Copyright infringement is serious and ignorance is not a defense. Again, read the licenses and ensure that you are not using others' works without permission is not optional
Don't forget the flip side and as your brand grows, create process to police your own logos and IP.
Tip #4: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policies
If employees and contractors are bringing their own laptops or phones, issues around storage, file-sharing, and trade secrets can crop up. Don't risk your business — have solid agreements for anyone working with your confidential information. In addition, creating data use, email, and confidentiality policies within a handbook can mitigate problems.
Tip #5: Education, Education, and More Education
Employees and contractors alike must not only sign policies but also understand the value of IP. The management team must understand the value of IP and integrate education into the onboarding process plus regular updates. Remind departing employees of confidentiality and other provisions that will survive beyond their employment during an exit interview.
If all employees know how to spot IP and other legal issues, business risk is minimized while value is maximized.Our new Enterprise Risk Management Software can assist with spotting some of these potential pitfalls and providing education.

These summer days have flown by. But, this morning I finished the sign for Kimberly who was my 200th FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY winner.
At the end of June, I posted her "win" here:
"So, the OTHER winner of a hand-painted sign is:
Kimberly of KBUNTON0824
who would like a sign to say:
belle cuisine de campagne français"
First I painted the door in Annie Sloan's "Old White". For a while I felt that ASCP was over-rated. I do think that flat paint can suffice with many projects. But the wording went onto the Annie Sloan paint beautifully and I'm back to really liking it.
So I transferred the chosen wording onto the sign using a printout of the saying, covering the back of the words in pencil lead, laying it on the door, going over the words, and painting with a fine brush.
Kimberly requested red and white which matches her kitchen.
After sanding the door here and there . . .
I wiped on some Old English Dark Scratch cover, and Minwax Finishing Wax (also dark).
First to dry and then off to Kimberly!
Congratulations Kimberly!
The other winner, my good friend Jan, will have her sign hand-delivered in October when we visit her in McKinney!

Earlier this month, I led a couple of breakout sessions at the UK Serials Group's conference in Torquay.
I knew that I'd have a wide range of people in the room in each session, so I put together a slide deck that would have something for everyone and talked about different subjects to different levels on each of the two days.
Some of the slides won't make much sense without explanation, but others do stand alone, I think. If you're interested, here's a PDF version of the slides stripped of the animations:
Alastair at UHI comments on my most recent Metadata Interchange document revision. His post highlights a couple of places where I can see I need to clarify what I'm proposing in a future revision. I recently purchased a copy of the OmniGraffle diagramming tool, and Alistair's post is a good example of why… sometimes a simple diagram really can be clearer than large amounts of plain text. Misunderstandings aside, I think we agree on most things.
One area where I've felt for some time we all need to express things more clearly is with regard to that thing we call "trust". I usually break this down first into "technical" trust (which allows you to know you're talking to the entity you think you are) and "behavioural" trust (which gives you expectations about the behaviour of a known entity). This isn't the whole story by all means, but does allow us to see that trust isn't a singular property; it's more like a stack or chain of elements that we can build up into something we can actually use.
Any federation can choose to act as a trust broker at many levels; for example, one federation may have strictly enforceable rules controlling member behaviour while another may leave behavioural trust to bilateral arrangements between members (such as the commercial contracts that are usually present in content licensing situations). The UK federation is towards the latter end of the scale: as all federations do, it acts as a broker of technical trust, but mere presence of an entity within the UK federation's metadata has never carried any behavioural guarantees.
What this means is that if you're used to operating in something like the UK federation, your stance is already to treat everyone as a potential ray-gun-toting Martian unless you have some specific reason to view them otherwise. Adding more Martians from other federations therefore doesn't change anything; the important thing that an inter-federation agreement adds is the assurance that the originating federation has registration procedures strong enough to prevent a Martian from masquerading as someone you have a real relationship with, and conversely provides technical trust strong enough to support you in picking the entities you do want to do business with out of the sea of entities you don't care about.
Many thanks to everyone who commented on the previous edition of Some Notes on Metadata Interchange. I'm in New Orleans for the Internet2 Fall Member Meeting this week, and as I expect to be discussing this area with a number of the other people attending I think this seems like a good time to publish a revision. This edition goes into more detail in some areas, as well as improving sections which needed clarification.
I continue to welcome comments and discussion. The next edition might be a couple of weeks away, but will likely go into more detail on what I think an aggregation appliance might need to include.
I've been working with SAML-based identity federations for a bit over four years now. For most of that time, it's been obvious that after basic federations like the UK federation and InCommon were up and running in production, the next big question would be how to break out of the "federation of my close friends" model. I've spent the last couple of years bending ears at conferences with my own particular views about how this might be done.
Impromptu in-person rants of that kind are very useful for finding out whether ideas have any appeal to other people at all, but I've felt for a while that something more coherent might be useful. I've therefore put together Some Notes on Metadata Interchange as a personal position paper on this area.
snomi-v2.pdf is the current version of the document;
snomi-v2-diff.pdf is the same document with change bars from the previous version. This means you can deduce what V1 looked like if that's of interest.
I very much welcome comments and discussion on this document. If you'd like to, you can leave a comment here (if you don't have a TypeKey account, there will be a delay before it's published) or post on your own blog or just send me e-mail.
Some disclaimers: This document does not represent the official position of any organisation or group, nor is it an attempt to describe any consensus view; it's purely a personal summary. It's not a collaborative document, except in the sense that if you change my mind I'll change the text.
I expect this document to change fairly often over the next few months; hopefully, some consensus-building (and even specification-building) efforts can be budded off from it when that seems appropriate; they will probably be hosted elsewhere.
I was recently asked to give a presentation to a group of people involved with service delivery for the UK federation. The result is Technical Statistics: What they tell us, and what they don't.
There are some interesting statistics in there (for example, the high degree to which the fairly young JANET Server Certificate Service has already taken off) but the other theme of the talk was that there is an awful lot going on that we probably can't understand without a lot more direct interaction with the membership.
I've also uploaded the slides to slideshare, if you'd like to give that a try.
I gave a presentation to the second meeting of the McShib group last month covering An Identity Provider's Guide to the Core Attributes (of the UK federation).
I made an audio recording of the presentation. I ran "a bit long" on the day (70 minutes), but once I have edited out the coughing and some of the rambling I'll post a synchronised audio+slides version.

People have observed that this blog can from time to time be characterised as "a nearly impenetrable thicket of geekitude". I can't really argue with that, and I have no intention of making any kind of New Year resolution to "mend my ways".
On the other hand, I do sometimes wonder about rating my posts in terms of a new metric: how many Wikipedia entries would you have to reference to explain this to the man on the Clapham omnibus?
One of my favourite cartoon sites — xkcd.com — also finds the need to peg the MOTCO-meter once in a while. Responsible Behavior is a good example; I have to rate it a four at least:
Do you agree? More interestingly, what do you think the answer will be in ten years?
I am now a (very junior) notary in the thawte Web of Trust. An assurance from me is worth 10 points towards the 50 required for a personal e-mail certificate with your own name on it.
More details are available for those who are interested.
[Updated 20100118: Thawte recently closed down their Web of Trust and stopped issuing personal e-mail certificates. This article is now of only historical interest.]
As part of one of the more deeply nested yak shaving exercises I've been working through recently, I have added MicroIDs to various pages on this site. For example, the header for the main index page for this blog now includes the following elements:
<!-- MicroID for '/' variant of URL -->
<meta name="microid"
content="mailto+http:sha1:b887e662ed3d811e665ef4a034e018a521a5467d" />
<!-- MicroID for '/index.html' variant of URL -->
<meta name="microid"
content="mailto+http:sha1:ed938d07588303f4eeee45adfef090221e0c692e" />
A MicroID is a very simple way of making a verifiable statement about the ownership of a page. The specification goes into more detail, but essentially the value you see is constructed by independently hashing your e-mail address and the URL of the page in question, concatenating those results and then hashing once more.
The way you use a MicroID in practice is as supporting evidence for a claim of ownership to some third party who already knows your e-mail address. If you say "I own that page" to such a third party, they can compute the same MicroID value from your e-mail address and the page's URL and then check for a match within the page's <meta name="microid"> headers. You can see this claim checking by looking at the "verified" links in my claimID profile.
<meta name="microid">
MicroID is an improvement on the perhaps more obvious approach of just embedding your e-mail address in the page because it doesn't reveal your e-mail address to things like spam address harvesters. It also improves on a simple hash of the e-mail address by including the URL in the calculation because all pages owned by the same e-mail address are thereby given different MicroIDs. This in turn means that pages can't be grouped together, even anonymously, by web spiders. Looked at from this point of view, a MicroID is a salted hash of the e-mail address.
I'm pretty sure that you could do the same job with one or even two less hash operations (for example, the URL is known by definition, so hashing it serves no purpose that I can see), but for static pages performance is not a concern. If I was running a large content site with dynamically generated pages, though, this aspect of MicroID might put me off a little.
Note that although a MicroID looks a little like a digital signature (of the URL) it really isn't; in particular, a MicroID can easily be repudiated because anyone knowing your e-mail address can generate MicroID values "for" you and put them on any pages they please. In other words, you can use it to help confirm ownership of something by a claimant, but not to prove ownership by someone who denies the connection.
Generating the MicroID values for blog pages in particular was made simpler for me by Phil Windley's MicroID plugin for Moveable Type. I did have to tweak it a little to correspond to the current MicroID spec, as Phil's plugin as distributed generates what is now thought of as a "legacy" format lacking the scheme and algorithm specifiers.
I've previously mentioned my Networkshop 35 presentation in Exeter, and the fact that some of the material I prepared went unused because of lack of time.
As an experiment, I've narrated the unused slides and they are now available for download in one of the following formats:
The presentation is a little under 20 minutes long. Please let me have feedback if you find this kind of thing useful, or for that matter if you find my voice too soporific or annoying. I'm considering doing more along these lines, and it would help to know in advance whether I'd be wasting my time.

Bangalore ATM attack: Man resembling assailant spotted in Andhra
In the latest development, Andhra Pradesh PSU bank officials on Sunday claimed to have possibly spotted the unidentified assailant, who had brutally battered a middle aged woman in an ATM kiosk here on November 19.
Zee Media Bureau
Bangalore: In the latest development, Andhra Pradesh PSU bank officials on Sunday claimed to have possibly spotted the unidentified assailant, who had brutally battered a middle aged woman in an ATM kiosk here on November 19.
The assailant of the brutal ATM attack incident could be involved in murder case of another woman, sources informed today.
The bank officials in Andhra Pradesh`s Anantapur district today said to the police that they have a CCTV footage of a man resembling the attacker of a woman bank officer at an ATM kiosk in Bangalore.
The footage, captured on November 11 and 12, shows the man bearing a striking resemblance with the attacker of the Corporation Bank officer Jyothi Uday.
The man was seen withdrawing money on two occasions from the ATM of the bank in Kadiri town of Anantapur, police said.
He was wearing the same shirt and also carrying the same bag as was seen in the footage of the gruesome attack at the ATM kiosk, police said quoting the bank officials.
"The bank authorities have informed us that the man (in their ATM CCTV footage) bears a resemblance to the accused wanted in connection with the attack on a woman in a ATM kiosk in Bangalore. We are in the process of collecting footage," a senior police officer said.
The matter is being further verified as the Bangalore assailant is also suspected to be behind the murder of an elderly woman in Dharmavaram town of Anantapur on November 10 and then using the ATM card of her son and withdrawing amounts from the ATM centre in Kadiri town, the officer explained.
Apart from Andhra Pradesh Police, a team of Bangalore police is also in touch with the bank officials, he said, adding that no one has been arrested so far for the Bangalore and Dharmavaram incidents.
"As of now there is no evidence to connect this man (shown in the Kadiri ATM) of having a role in Dharmavarm murder incident, but we are further investigating all angles," according to the officer.
Around 4-5 teams of Bangalore police were trying to trace the assailant and on November 20 picked up a man from Hindupur town of Anantapur to whom he allegedly sold the mobile phone handset of the victim.
In the barbaric ATM attack incident, Jyothi Uday, 38, manager at Corporation bank`s Mission Road branch, was attacked by an unidentified assailant with a machete inside her bank`s ATM kiosk.
The ATM kiosk, unguarded at the time of incident, is located just metres away from a police station.
The assailant had hit the victim on her head and ran away with cash (Rs 2,500) and her mobile.
The woman was rescued by some passers-by after noticing blood coming out of the kiosk, whose shutters had been downed by the assailant before he fled.
The woman had undergone a three-hour long surgery. Paralysed on her right side, the bank official is right now recovering in the hospital where she was admitted after the attack.
Earlier, during the investigation, Police Commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar had said, "Police officials have been dispatched to different locations to track down the assailant, who cannot be a first timer."
Cops on Friday had announced a reward of Rs one lakh to anyone providing information leading to the assailant`s arrest.

Le Grenier Ratings and Reviews
The food at Le Grenier is always top notch. This last time, for the Beaujolais Nouveau dinner, it was superb. The management and wait staff are ALWAYS wonderful to customers. And the ambiance is so relaxing, so comfortable. The monthly wine tastings are also great, both the wine and the learnings, along with the free hors d'oeuvres. It's my family's favorite place on Capitol Hill.
Had dinner here with my 12-year-old daughter and her BFF while in town for the weekend. Server incorrectly wrote down or entered our order, so my beet napoleon never came. The girls enjoyed the escargot but I've had better; their steak frites was good, and the roasted cauliflower salad was exceptional.
Last minute find when train delays threatened to spoil an evening. Looking for something near Grand Central and this lovely spot popped up. Authentic French Bistro cooking in a lovely setting of rustic wood, hanging birdcage lamps and exposed brick. The server/manager was delightful, and had knowledgeable food and wine recommendations. Whether it was an understaffed night or what, we couldn't tell, but there was just no way to describe the service. Different servers, no communication with each other, entrees waiting over 30 minutes, something just fell apart. As this was such a find, and only the first time here, I'm assuming this was a one-off and wouldn't hold it against Le Grenier and intend to recommend and visit again.
We were celebrating my daughter's birthday. I had purchased a "deal" on Travelzoo that was a scam. The cost for that same deal in the Restaurant was cheaper. On top of that the server was confused and caused a great deal of drama around the deal I had purchased. It was embarrassing for us and ruined the special occasion we were celebrating. I finally gave up and told the server to charge us whatever she wanted so I ended up paying $60 more on top of what I had already paid for the deal. Over Over, the Restaurant was very run down, with average food and below average service. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Went to the restaurant after purchasing a travelzoo brunch package. The food was fine, nothing spectacular, but the service was poor. We weren't even acknowledged for the first 10 minutes of us being seated. It wasn't until after I asked who the waiter was that a guy that passed by our table several times was pointed out as the waiter. His attentiveness was poor and his lack of interest in hospitality made the experience subpar. Overall, the food wasn't good enough that I would go back in spite of the service.
The offer states it is for brunch but it is definitely NOT clear that it is from a VERY limited price fixe menu.
We suggested allowing us to order whatever we wanted and just apply the $45 credit. We would have spent way more than $45 to be able to eat what we preferred but we're rudely told we would forfeit the whole amount if we did so.
NEVER going there again despite the fact that it was a cool place for Sunday brunch.
Le Grenier was a find of my wife's. We are here on vacation for a month and had already tried several restaurants that were not to our liking but were pleasantly surprised by Le Grenier. A very good menu, good wine list, patient, knowledgeable staff and spectacular food. There were several dishes we are anxious to try so we will be back.
We were in DC for just 4 nights and ate here two of those--enough said! Funky H Street bistro with contemporary spin on classic French cuisine. The Salmon Flip Flop (grilled salmon, goat cheese tart, and cucumber sorbet) is highly recommended! Be warned that wine by the glass portions are tiny. It is best if you can see your way to buy a bottle.
Highly recommend- my friend and I ate dinner here for the first time for my birthday on a Saturday night and it had steady business but was never overcrowded. Our server was great- very French and vaguely annoyed by everything (as the French often are) but attentive and never rude.
Our food was INCREDIBLE. We started with a crepe for an app, then I had the salmon with a delicious goat cheese tart and my friend had some of the juiciest, most tender pork I've ever tasted.
Music and decor is very fun. This is a neighborhood gem! :)
We were so disappointed in our meal at Le Grenier, both the food and the service. After being seated, it took 25 minutes for a waitress to take our drink orders. It took another 25 minutes to take our food order. Our drinks didn't arrive until we were almost done with our appetizer. All told, we sat for over 50 minutes with a completely empty table, and no one apologized for the delay or even refilled our water during this time.
As for the food - I ordered the salmon dish, which turned out to be not so much a dish, but rather three random items sitting totally separately on a plate: a piece of salmon (overdone and under-seasoned, and inexplicably buried in arugula); a small dish of cucumber sorbet (fine, but why?); and plain goat cheese tartine (so salty and dry as to be inedible). My husband's chicken dish featured tough meat, an unseasoned and watery stew, with a sprinkling of canned olives. Despite being hungry after our wait, neither of us finished more than half our meal. Still hungry, we took a chance on dessert, and got a Nutella crepe that was somehow both rubbery AND soggy, and fairly tasteless as well.
We were shocked that a neighborhood place with so many great reviews was so disappointing - we were hoping to find a great local date night spot!
Another strange thing - we were seated in chairs with completely destroyed backrests, like a cat had clawed them up. At first we thought this was just an (odd) aesthetic choice, but none of the other matching chairs were similarly damaged.
This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to in my life. It practically ruined my weekend. Their French decor and music is so inauthentic it sounds like a prelude to a brothel. The staff stare at you while you eat, as well. I would recommend to no one. This was not a win for H street revitalization.

The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center A Taste for the Modern Exhibition.
by hispanic_arts , July 21, 2011—12:00 AM
The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center A Taste for the Modern Exhibition.
This past Sunday I had the pleasure of visiting Vassar College in my hometown of Poughkeepsie, NY. While at the campus I visited the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center and I was able to view A Taste for the Modern Exhibition. The exhibition is about Modern art collected and donated to Vassar College by alumnus Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller, Edna Bryner Schwab, and Virginia Herrick Deknatel. The exhibition has some beautiful works by Paul Klee, Mark Rothko, Henri Matisse, Francis Bacon, Yves Tanguy, Joan Miro, Ralston Crawford, Nobuya Abe, Genichiro Inokuma, Rufino Tamayo, Karel Appel, Bradley Walker Tomlin, Louise Nevelson, Larry Rivers, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne, Georgia O__™Keeffe, John Marin, Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, David Smith, Odilon Redon, and many others. I was very impressed with the large collection of John Marin__™s water colors on exhibit and my favorite work was a charcoal and hot pink lithograph titled ___Aztec Landscape___ created by Rufino Tamayo.
It is always such a pleasure for me to visit the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College and I try to visit it several times a year. On each visit I learn something and feel that they do have one of the finest art collections in the Hudson Valley. I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful Art Museum.
The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center is a teaching museum, major art repository, and exhibition space on the campus of Vassar College, in Poughkeepsie, New York, USA. It was originally founded in 1864 as the Vassar College Art Gallery. It displays works from antiquity to contemporary times. Vassar was the first college or university in the country to include an art museum as part of its original plan. The current 36,000-square-foot facility was designed by Cesar Pelli and named in honor of the new building__™s primary donor Frances Lehman Loeb, a member of the Class of 1928

Selfishness:-But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Irresposible:-I feel that there are two kinds of people on earth. One who never fails to remember the birthdays for his love but sneaks from his duties and responsibilities of the relationship. He invariably escapes from his responsibilities and fails to stand by his failures and wrongdoings. Then there is another group who might not remember the anniversary dates but discharges his duty and is loyal and responsible to his family and profession. He stands tall in accepting his failures just as he takes charge of his accomplishments. I would say the latter is a responsible kind. And the former is not so responsible for they are largely driven by things which affect them directly. Most are too much occupied with themselves, they hardly cater to people who care for them. Being responsible is not all about remembering dates but also about a generalised disposition of duties towards family and society. When I say that I am a responsible person, I mean that I know how to lead my life keeping my family happy and proud, keeping work place ethics and profile in tact and abiding by the society norms .
I the difference between both are being responsible to our actions and decisions made even if it is wrong or right. I know some who are responsible and others who are not. Most responsible people take responsibility for their actions and decisions, they dont blame other people if their decisions are wrong. They stand up for their word and they also stand up for its consequences. Irresponsible people are likely to blame other people for their wrong decision and actions.
Denial is dangerous
It's human to deny what we find unpleasant or frightening. But when it prevents us from seeing facts and facing their implication then it will not help our loved one or ourselves.....
Using denial as a coping strategy will always fail eventually.Denial will prevent the family from taking the steps possible to "get ahead" of all the issues to follow -- like starting medications that could prolong the patient at the highest levels possible for the longest time possible.Denial can prevent completion of legal forms allowing your loved one or your family to be in control of medical choices, property matters and inheritance issues.Denial will cause major lasting conflict within your family.Denial can cause unwanted outcomes. For example, your loved one could need nursing home care due to delayed care that could prevent the progression to the situation where only skilled nursing can care for them.Denial causes stress to the caregiver -- even to the point of a serious heart attack, stroke or other fatal event, leading to nursing home placement for your loved one anyway.
selfishness Irresponsible Denial Dangerous these qualities will lead to the risky behavior
Betrayal (or backstabbing) is the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations. Often betrayal is the act of supporting a rival group, or it is a complete break from previously decided upon or presumed norms by one party from the others. Someone who betrays others is commonly called a traitor or betrayer. Betrayal is also a commonly used literary element and is often associated with or used as a plot twist.

Looking for a quick way to boost your confidence, relieve anxiety, and get yourself ready for the challenges ahead?
I was feeling mopey and weepy. Summer was coming to an end and it was almost time to say goodbye to my youngest son as he went off to college. Not only that, I would soon be saying goodbye to my oldest son as he ventured forth to his new job in another city. I was feeling weak and sad—my head down, my shoulders drooping—and I was having trouble holding my tears back. Then my husband said to me, knowing that I needed a reboot, "Go do your power poses!"
We were standing in a gazebo in a park in Westcliffe, Colorado, waiting for our son to finish his soccer practice. I walked to the edge of the enclosure, looked up into the blazing blue Colorado sky, raised my arms straight over my head, opened my heart, adjusted my legs to hip-distance apart, and waited. I still felt sad (I adore my sons and miss them when they are away), but the weak and wimpy in me began to shift instantly. I repeated a few affirmations to juice up my empowerment, kept my eyes on the sky, thanked the Universe for taking care of me, and let that moment deliver to my open arms the strength that was mine, already inside of me, needing my body to unfold and let it rise up. I could hear Wayne Dyer whisper, "I am, I am."
"This a wonderful day. I've never seen this one before." - Maya AngelouTweet It!
As I stood there in my open-hearted pose, a flood of positive emotions quickly replaced what I had just been muddled in. Truths I hadn't had access to just seconds before were now clear to me: It was good that my sons were heading out into the rest of their lives, both excited about the adventures that lie ahead, that they had prepared hard for. Their growth and evolution is a beautiful thing, and I've gotten to be a central part of all that. And it was clear to me that contracting my body and heart around the sadness of their impending departure had left no room for the positive emotions to touch and remind me of all that is true.
I learned about the science of power poses from Amy Cuddy, PhD, and I learned about their practical application from my yoga teachers. In her book, Presence, Amy Cuddy describes her scientific research showing how our posture literally changes our minds—it affects our confidence, power, self-perception, as well as how others perceive us. The open-posture poses she studied not only changed her subjects' minds, but also caused important shifts in their physiologies by raising testosterone levels (the hormone associated with power and confidence), and lowering cortisol (the major stress hormone).
Yogis have taught for millennia that the body, when opened and balanced through yoga practice, is primed for the flow of energy, love, and power. Energy flows through the powerful body- and heart-opening postures involved in sun salutes and the warrior series. And we feel strong and empowered—and grateful—when we walk out of class.
I don't think it's an accident that open-hearted postures lead us to greater presence and personal power. Gratitude, a primary emotion of the heart center, opens our hearts to what is true and good, right now—to the grace that is all around us in this moment. It's our bodies leading us to receive the power of the present.
I don't think it's an accident that open-hearted postures lead us to greater presence and personal power.Tweet It!
Any open posture will do to power up your presence. You can stay seated with shoulders engaged and pulled back, arms opened out to the sides, body unhindered, heart open. Perhaps your feet are up on the desk in front of you, or your arms are draped over the backs of some adjacent chairs. You can also stand with your body in an open, receptive pose and raise your arms and face to the sky, heart open, eyes facing up, like I was in the park in Colorado. It is equally effective to simply imagine yourself in an open posture. As Cuddy showed in her work, even people who can't move or are wheel-chair-bound can receive the benefits of this practice through visualization.
If you are new to this you may feel vulnerable in your openness, but try to stay with it. Trust yourself. Just thirty seconds will shift you into a completely new state of being. When I need a reboot, I hold the posture, breathe deeply, affirm my strength, and wait, listening for the shift. Repeat as necessary.
Try it and share your experience with us.

This curved, notch-neck scrub top has a banded front yoke and curved shaped neck facing that keeps the neckline loose but still modest. This top also has banding at the top yoke. It has a dropped shoulder with reinforced stitching. There are two front patch pockets, one is a signature WonderWink triple pocket. WonderFLEX is a cotton-rich, premium fabric. It has enough give to be supremely comfortable while maintaining its shape for a polished look.
Overall Rating:
I love the fit of this top. It looks crisp and professional.
I liked it, but am waiting on a different size, since I sent it back for an exchange
Wonderflex is the MOST comfortable scrubs ever made and I have been nursing 32 years and I have worn a multitude of scrubs!
Love this top!!! Has a slimming, flattering style, unlike so many scrub tops that seem so "box like". Fabric is slightly soft but sturdy, slightly giving material which is high quality and washes well. Minimal ironing needed. Would love to see in soft print styles. I have been a nurse for 38 years (!) so do not like many of the "jazzier styles" , and like to keep a professional but comfortable appearance. Thank you so much for this style! LOVE IT and am buying more.....
This top has a perfect fit and is very comfortable.
Measures the fullest part of your chest.
Bend to one side to the natural crease of your waist and measure across this point.
Standing with feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and rear.
Measure from the bottom of the crotch seam to the bottom of the hem along the inside seam.
The top feels like: A junior fit scrub top is made to sit closer to your sides and natural waistline. The sleeve length is shorter and ideal for anyone with a petite frame. If you like a shorter length, you'll find most junior fit scrub tops fall just at or above your hip depending on your height.
The pant feels like: Junior fit scrub pants are meant to feel more like a pant you would wear when you're off duty. The rise, or how high the pant sits on your waist, is lower and may be closer to your hip line. A more streamlined cut means the leg line of this pant is closer to your own leg line, fitted through the hip and thigh.

Let's Wait Awhile
"Let's Wait Awhile" is a song by American singer Janet Jackson, released as the fifth single from her third studio album Control (1986). It was written and produced by Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, with Melanie Andrews also serving as co-writer. It is also the first song Jackson co-produced. Inspired by a conversation Melanie Andrews had with a childhood boyfriend, the song speaks of sexual abstinence and postponing intimacy within a relationship.

The song received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praised the track's sweetness and Jackson's tender delivery. It was also praised for its meaningful message, considered to be a teaching tool to encourage sexual abstinence. In the United States, it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary singles charts and became a number one hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Outside the US, it reached number three in the United Kingdom, where she made her debut on the BBC's Top of the Pops on March 26, 1987, and number four in Ireland, in addition to charting within the top 40 in several other countries. It has been included in two of Jackson's greatest hits albums, Design of a Decade: 1986–1996 (1995) and Number Ones (2009).
A music video for the song was directed by Dominic Sena and tells a lighthearted, accompanying story of a couple in love. Jackson has performed the song live in all of her tours, beginning with the Rhythm Nation World Tour 1990 through the Unbreakable World Tour (2015-16), receiving praise for her vocal performance. The single has been covered and sampled in numerous songs throughout the years, while also being featured on the soundtrack of a telenovela in Brazil. In 2004, Serbian singer LoOney and Lud samples "Let's Wait Awhile" in Geto Riba, from the 2006 album, U Ime Igre by Lud.
Background and recordingEdit
While writing for her upcoming breakthrough album, "Control", Janet Jackson's manager John McClain introduced to Jackson the record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to work and produce with her the majority of the album.[1] "Let's Wait Awhile was one of the tracks they penned together, along with Melanie Andrews. Jackson, Jam and Lewis also produced the track and provided rhythm arrangements, while the latter two with Andrews were responsible for vocal arrangements. Jackson alone provided digital bells and background vocals, while Jam and Lewis were responsible for drum programming, digital keyboards, acoustic piano and percussion. It was recorded and mixed at Flyte Tyme Productions, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota.[2]
Composition and lyrical interpretationEdit
"Let's Wait Awhile", written by Jackson, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Melanie Andrews, Janet's best friend, is a simple love song, as described by Jam and Lewis.[3] Lyrically, it talks about abstinence[4] and waiting until the right moment to have sex.[5] Janet along with her friend, and co writer, Melanie Andrews was inspired to write the track after talking about how she (Melanie) was unsure if he really wanted to have sex with her boyfriend. She advise her to wait awhile and after that discussion she was inspired to write the track. "I connected that song to millions of young people who might need encouragement to think rather than act, to pause rather than move.[6] Jam further commented, "The theme of the song was Janet's idea. She's not a preachy person. She's not telling people how to live their lives. All she's doing is offering an opinion."[5]
In addition to serving as an anthem to sexual abstinence, the song also became a hit during the height of the AIDS pandemic.[5] Some school teachers adopted the song as a teaching tool to help steer students toward sexual abstinence.[3] The song was also a precursor to a sexually liberated Jackson who emerged on the Rhythm Nation 1814 track "Someday Is Tonight", a sequel to "Let's Wait Awhile", which can be looked at as Jackson's readiness to go further in their relationship.[7] On her album janet., several songs revolve around the theme of sexual intimacy as well.[7] On 20 Y.O., the track "With U" was written as a follow-up to "Let's Wait Awhile". According to the song's producer, Jermaine Dupri, "With U" takes place after the act of intimacy the two have put off, which results in "romantic confusion".[8]
"Let's Wait Awhile" is written in the key of C♯ major, set in a rock ballad tempo of 87 beats per minute.[9] Janet's vocals span from the low note of G♯3 to the high note of C♯5. The introduction follows the chord progression of F♯–D♯7–C♯/D♯–E7–D/E–E7–G♯, while the verses follow the chord progression of F7–D♯7–F7–D♯7–F7. The key of the song moves up one semitone to D major at the last chorus of the song.[10][11]
Critical receptionEdit
"Let's Wait Awhile" received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Ed Hogan of AllMusic saw the song as a "sweet soft departure from the hard funky veneer of [previous singles] "What Have You Done for Me Lately," "Nasty," and "Control."[3] Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine praised "how perfect her tremulous hesitance fits into the abstinence anthem 'Let's Wait Awhile', also noting that it "would've been a great place to end the album."[4] Norman Riley of The Crisis praised the track, calling it "pleasing and surprising".[12] Nelson George of Billboard picked the track as one of the album's highlights, calling it "somber".[13] Danyel Smith of Vibe praised the track, writing that "on the fragile [ballad], Jackson's tender, hesitant delivery conveys all of the trepidation and wonder felt by a young girl on the brink of losing her innocence.[14] Wendy Robinson of PopMatters praised the track for "showcas[ing] Janet's ability to combine a gorgeous melody with a meaningful message."[15] Nick Levine wrote for Digital Spy that the "seemingly gooey '80s ballad has a hard centre," referring to the song's lyrics.[16]
Chart performanceEdit
The song became a success in the United States, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, behind Club Nouveau's "Lean on Me". It became Jackson's fifth consecutive top five hit on the chart. It also reached number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for one week, her fourth single to top the chart.[17] "Let's Wait Awhile" was placed at number 48 on Billboard's Hot 100 Year-End Chart of 1987 and at number 42 on the year's R&B chart. The single also peaked at number two on the Hot Adult Contemporary charts.[18] In the United Kingdom the song was released in March 1987 and peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart a month later, spending ten weeks on the chart. It became her second top-three single there and her most successful at the time, along with "What Have You Done for Me Lately".[19] The single also peaked inside the top-twenty in Belgium, Canada, Ireland and Netherlands.[20][21][22][23]
Music videoEdit
The music video was directed by Dominic Sena and is set in New York City. The actor and martial artist Taimak Guarriello was cast to play Jackson's love interest after receiving a call from a modeling agent, who informed him that Janet wanted him to play her boyfriend.[24] The video follows Jackson and her boyfriend (played by Guarriello) going out for a romantic night on the town. In the middle of the video, her boyfriend wants to end the evening by taking their relationship a step further, but Jackson wants to wait until they are both ready.[25]
Live performancesEdit
Jackson has performed the song on most of her tours. It was performed on the 1990 Rhythm Nation 1814 Tour.[26] Jackson included "Let's Wait Awhile" during her Janet World Tour in 1993-95. During some shows, the singer asked a prayer to her brother Michael Jackson.[27] According to Greg Kot from Chicago Tribune, she sang it "as if to say she's still the one in charge" following her female-powering themes throughout her career.[28] During the 1998 The Velvet Rope Tour, she sang the song sat on a stool, accompanied by a guitarist.[29] The medley at the October 11, 1998 show in New York City, at the Madison Square Garden, was broadcast during a special titled The Velvet Rope: Live in Madison Square Garden by HBO. It was also added to the setlist at its DVD release, The Velvet Rope Tour – Live in Concert in 1999.[30]
For the performance of "Let's Wait Awhile" on the All for You Tour in 2001 and 2002, she was in the center stage to sing the song. Denise Sheppard from Rolling Stone called the number "mellow", and commented "Without question, [it was] one of the night's most beautiful and verklempt moments arrived out of nowhere forty-five minutes into the set. It was the first time that a break in the action occurred - no dancers, no music -- and as a close-up captured Jackson looking genuinely happy, the audience spontaneously burst into what became a five-minute standing ovation. Looking on, shocked by the sincerity of the moment, she shed sincere tears, simultaneously overwhelmed and overjoyed. 'I love you so much, Vancouver. Thank you'."[31] The February 16, 2002 final date of the tour at the Aloha Stadium in Hawaii, was broadcast by HBO, and included a performance of it. This rendition was also added to the setlist at its DVD release, Janet: Live in Hawaii, in 2002.[32]
For her first tour in seven years Rock Witchu Tour in 2008, she included "Let's Wait Awhile" in its setlist. Phil Gallo of Variety praised her vocals during the performance of the song, praising her "startlingly full-bodied" vocal performance on the track.[33] In contrast, Marsha Lederman of The Globe and Mail perceived that the performance was "a bit bumpy and she seemed to be struggling a tad as she held her hand up to her ear in an effort to catch the right notes."[34] On the Number Ones: Up Close and Personal tour, Jackson used a diamond-encrusted lavender gown to perform a ballad medley of "Nothing", "Come Back to Me" and "Let's Wait Awhile".[35] Annabel Ross of Sydney's "Everguide" praised Janet for "hitting some impressive high notes herself."[36] Joanna Chaundy of The Independent agreed, calling it "the highlight of the show's first half since her voice was more audible and still in fine form."[37] The song was also included in Jackson's 2015-2016 Unbreakable World Tour; writing for the Hartford Courant, Thomas Kintner pointed out that the performance showcased "that even though singing is not the most evocative part of [Jackson's] repertoire, it generates smallish vocal flourishes to augment her pleasant baseline tone".[38]
In 1987, the song was part of the international soundtrack of Brazilian telenovela "Brega e Chique" (English: "Tacky and Chic").[39] In 1988, smooth jazz/fusion guitarist Paul Jackson Jr. covered the song for his album I Came to Play. In 1989, jazz fusion saxophonist Nelson Rangell covered the song on his album Playing for Keeps.[40] In 1990, Hong Kong Singer Cass Phang covered the song for her album "With Love". In 1994, Booker T. & the M.G.s covered the song instrumentally on their album That's the Way It Should Be. In 2001, Ashanti covered the chorus on the Big Pun album Endangered Species. Destiny's Child sang the song live as a tribute to Jackson during MTV's MTV Icon special during the same year.[41] In 2002, smooth jazz guitarist Norman Brown covered the song instrumentally on his album Just Chillin'.

Review for Toyota of Puyallup
DELBERT S B. on 04/13/2016
"Great group of people helping the customer, no negativity."
One comment, I have stated this before. Carwashes are free and they do a good job, but when the vehicle sets in the parking lot with the windows dripping wet. Have some one wipe the window or have towels available for the customer to dry their windows.

Ronda Rousey's loss to Holly Holm has been top of mind for a lot of MMA fans and even non-MMA fans who know her from her photoshoots and movies. Take a look at the kick that was heard and seen around the world... that knocked her out a few months ago.
Apparently, that wasn't enough to keep her off an elite list that puts her in the running for the AP's Female Athlete of the Year.
Check out the Tweet that verifies it from the Associated Press (AP) itself:

Tuesday Tunes: The Go! Team
As the story goes, The Go! Team really were never meant to exist. Ian Parton was just a dude who wanted to sample songs and create these DJ'd soundscapes. He released their first album in September 2004 and people liked it so much that they wanted the band to play live and at festivals. The problem was that there wasn't an actual band.
So he recruited one, cobbling together a six-piece collective led by a super charasmatic lead who went by "Ninja". Add a Japanese chick drummer, a Japanese guitarist, and a bunch of white dudes and voila! You had The Go! Team, one of the most fun, energetic, "let's go to the show and dance our asses off" bands of the mid 2000s. This is one of those bands I listen to frequently -- Thunder, Lightning, Strike remains in my regular rotation -- but whenever I play them for other people no one really reacts. Maybe they're one of those contextual bands for me, a band that signifies a certain time and feeling in my life that makes me blind that they're actually not great? I don't know. But I love them.
The Go! Team released a new album this year without any of the familiar members of the band. It's not bad, but I miss Ninja's freestyling. Besides, one of the things that really drew me to the band initially was their diversity. A British band led by a black female freestyler backed by two Japanese women as conceptualized by a white dude in his basement who was obsessed with old 70s samples? That was awesome.
I was lucky enough to be at this Coachella show. It was so stupid fun, dancing in the dark with a slew of strangers as Ninja ran around the stage like crazy.
Not all Go Team songs had lyrics. Some were just instrumental jams. Junior Kickstart is just rad.
Another live version of The Power is On. One thing that made The Go! Team fun was the songs sounded different from show to show. They really weren't polished enough to execute with machine-like efficiency night after night. Instead, they were incredibly spontaneous, which made it even more exciting.

Curriculum Vitae
My work focuses on representations in mass media (both news and entertainment) and their linkage to culture and public opinion. My research includes work on news media sourcing and perceptions of public opinion on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. More recently, I am looking at ideological messages on authority figures and gender in the superhero genre. I received an Interdisciplinary Certificate in Political Communication from the University of Washington, and my work integrates research from Sociology, Political Science, Communication, and Psychology.
As a Professor of Practice, much of my work centers on being an instructor. I teach Sociology of Mass Media, Political Sociology, and the Senior Seminar in the Sociology Department. I teach Political Communication, Democracy and Citizenship, and Public Issues in America in the Political Science Department.
I run the Sociology Internship Program. I strongly encourage undergraduates to work at an internship before graduation, and my students have had wonderful experiences (and job offers) from their internships. Former internship activities have included such things as researching legislative bills, working on a documentary film, working on public opinion surveys, and supporting victims of domestic abuse. If you want to learn more, please email me and visit our internship website.

The Rockbox firmware alternative for the iPod and other MP3 players
Rockbox firmware brings new features to the iPod and a few other MP3 players. We'll show you how to install Rockbox on an iPod, and with a little tinkering, you'll have the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files, customize the user interface, and add plug-ins.
Over the past few years, Apple's iPod has taken the market by storm, mutating from a simple MP3 player to a lifestyle object. Not all the standard firmware functions are popular with users, however. Something particularly annoying is that the iPod totally lacks some features, such as the ability to play Ogg Vorbis-formatted files.If you don't mind a little tinkering, you can talk your iPod into doing some things that Apple never intended it to do.
To help you rock your iPod, the Rockbox project offers a firmware product called Rockbox. Rockbox has several features that the iPod lacks, for example, the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files, the ability to customize the user interface, and the option of extending the default software portfolio with plugins.

A Pelican will set sail from Weymouth to the icy shores of Antarctica today (Sunday 23rd September)
The Tall Ship Pelican -- a sailing ship used to train local youngsters -- is attempting to re-enact legendary explorer Ernest Shackleton's Endurance voyage almost 100 years ago.
Endurance sailed from Plymouth in 1914 but never made it home.
Pelican isn't set to return until June 2013.
The voyage follows the original route of Endurance and it will be a Shackleton-themed jounrey with archive film footage and genuine artefacts on show.

Few programs have had more success at running back than Wisconsin, and 2014 prospect Jeff Jones could be the latest in line.
While camping with the Badgers on Sunday, Jones (Minneapolis/Washburn) picked up an offer from the Big Ten champions. He spoke with both coach Bret Bielema and running backs coach Thomas Hammock while in Madison.
"Meet with (Bielema) went great. He seems like a nice guy," Jones said. "He's running this program good. The last two years they went undefeated (at home). He's doing a good job of getting kids who want to compete.
"… Coach Hammock was telling me about the tradition here and the last few years they've had a real good running back. The offensive line will always be great here."
Jones also added an offer from Iowa State recently, and the Badgers and Cyclones join Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State and Minnesota on Jones' offer list.
"Pretty much everyone is pretty high on my list," Jones said. "I just got to get out there and see what these coaches and programs are about and then from there I can make my decision off of academics and the weight program and how much the coaching staff likes me and wants me to be there."
Notre Dame has not offered Jones, but the 6-foot, 190-pound rising junior plans to visit the Irish this summer. He also hopes to make it to Iowa and Michigan State in the near future.

A Dog's Day Trailer (2001)
16 May 2001 Drama, Foreign 74 mins
A local ruler bows down to the pressure from democratic forces and is forced to hand over a part of his province to a democratically elected leader. He also presents his pet dog to a poor peasant and his wife. For the poor peasant and his wife, the dog is not a mere dog, but a symbol of the royalty which had always inspired in them feelings of respect, admiration and blind worship. They bathe the dog in a very ceremonious manner and take much care of it. They even desist from tying it up. But when the dog bites and kills a duck and then a boy, it leads to problems. The democratic leader orders the arrest of the dog, followed by the arrest of the poor peasant. Then follow protests, talks, negotiations leading to more interesting developments.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Overheating on 2006 Dodge Magnum
My car ran hot one time Never had the problem before. I had it towed to the dealer. They said I needed $1400 in repair. Replace fan module, thermostat and gasket, oil cooler and sensor. I have never had to do that much for a car running hot. I did not drive it after it ran hot, had it towed. Should an engine running hot cost that much? What likely caused the problem?

I don't have experience with Dodge but I work on a range of cars (Jaguar) that have a fan control module. On the Jaguar there was an updated module and primary cause of failure was water could enter the module and cause it to fail. I don't see any recalls or service bulletins regarding either the oil cooler or cooling system. The oil cooler issue seems totally unrelated (do they see a leak), and the thermostat replacement may be suggested to replace just to ensure your engine does not over heat again. Has it been determined the cooling fan relay is bad? I don't know which sensor they are suggesting be replaced, but I would ask them to explain why each component needs to be replaced and how they are related to your over heating problem. Thermostat, and control module or fan relay is understandable.
the mechanic thinks its a blown head gasket.
