So basically I'm taking 2 months off of work in February and I'm buying a car in Ecuador. I plan to bounce from hostel to hostel exploring the continent and photographing as I go. I'm looking for a muse to inspire me and be my model in the beautiful places we discover. If you pay for your flight, I'd take care of everything else while we're there. But this isn't a luxury vacation. I'll be staying in hostels and cheap hotels and adventuring to see the real parts of each country.
MM is filled with creative models that can spark my creativity in exchange for a trip and good time.

Oh my gosh...
If you have any trouble finding GOOD, RELIABLE models, please let me know.
I say this while laying in a noisy hostel bed - killed a cockroach last night. Dirty hostels don't phase me.
Loads of references, including road trips and a trip to Mexico just last month with a photographer and another model.
good luck!

It is not simply a question that the British people are being requested to vote on, but, rather a collection of ideals. A European ideal that is based upon the pillars of inclusive democracy, human rights and a social compact. However, what they are voting upon is based upon a different perception and understanding of such.
A democracy where there is no acceptance of national identity cards, human rights which afford a greater protection to the individual and a social compact which is created around a core of health care and protected opportunity. As evidenced in greater social allowances for those who are in most need when compared to many other parts of Europe, yet designed with British people in mind.
A freedom from a collective European oversight is what is sought by the British people. Is this possible? It is a question that has been posed since the post WW2 era within Britain. Is it compatible with a wider European move towards an agreed federalist style of collective management?
Such considerations lead us along a path which diverges at a certain point. Do we dilute the under pressure federalist model in order to embrace a reticent Britain or do we move closer and enable the possibility of others to depart from such, including Britain?
When British people assisted with the protection of Europe from danger was there a question of dedication to a collective European adherence to basic values? One could venture an answer of, no that was not the case.
As it could be the case currently that a British departure from the EU may not weaken it, but, rather strengthen it. In that they chose a similar shared belief pathway and yet express it a different way. A great friend which expresses themselves in a soi-disant way.
In terms of Ireland consensus reigns supreme across the Irish political landscape with regard to the need for Britain to remain within the European family. Primarily the drivers for this are based upon national self-interest with little reference to the wider European ideals.
Such drivers would include trade, the Irish peace process and the cultural affinity with Britain. Essentially it makes life easier to manage in terms of a vastly improved relationship with Britain following the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
We are now happily contented with our relationship that now exists with our larger neighbour. A departure from the European Union by Britain would destabilise this or at least lead to a need for a realignment and recalibration of this.
However, if such a scenario emerged then perhaps opportunity would present itself. As the only remaining English language speaking country within the EU maybe new commercial and trade prospects could emerge. The move towards Irish unity may accelerate. As currently a small island shares two currencies and then one part would have membership of the EU and the other not.
Scottish independence would then appear on the horizon as a near certainty. This could act as an aid to Irish improvements in terms of how we manage ourselves. A friendly competitive neighbour with a similar population base who shares both the native language, Irish, and English as a language. This could create a dynamic local environment for Ireland within the larger European family.
A new threshold has been reached. A questioning of British identity and not necessarily a true reflection upon the European project. A negative sentiment is not a reflection of the whole. From an Irish perspective it is very difficult to speculate even in terms of the economic spheres. In trading terms alone a continued British membership is not as important as it may appear to be when analysed via the prism of the WTO and the EEA.
Great challenges currently face the EU. A positive or negative decision will clear the table in terms of an active agenda. A British decision to stay will allow for it to be parked for a generation and a decision to leave will be placed into a partial abeyance for a period of time.
Ultimately a British decision to depart from the EU will cause great consternation within Ireland. In particular amongst the political and social elites. As mentioned consensus does indeed dominate the Irish view that Britain should vote 'yes' and stay within the EU. Such views even extend to active encouragement of the Irish diaspora who reside within Britain to vote 'yes'.
At times change is healthy. Thus, from an Irish perspective while a departure may cause unsettlement there are opportunities which could accrue. However, as a federalist this author must comment that when faced with the choice of what is healthier for a Europe based upon core shared values. Then it is better for the British to Bremain.

It was announced on the SURGE Movement Facebook page that our favorite neon-green beverage is back in stores – at least in the southeastern portion of the US. It's currently being test marketed, so if it does well enough it might go national.
Coke has even launched (or re-launched, depending on how you look at it) Surge.com to help you find stores that are selling it. Looks like SURGE is in limited supply in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee. Of course, you can still grab a 12-pack at Amazon as well.
While it's not the full national rollout we expected, seeing SURGE in any stores is a great sign! If you're in the southeast, get out there and buy this stuff! If not, keep buying from Amazon. It's the best way to ensure SURGE sticks around for the long haul.

More bang for your buck! Hooker Kara offers regulars loyalty card
A SACKED supermarket worker turned hooker is luring punters to sample her ample goods with her own lusty loyalty card scheme.
Enterprising mum-of-one Kara is serving up an "every little yelps" promotion that means blokes who ring up five romps, get a sixth free.
And Kara - who has gone from stacking the shelves with cheese and pickle to serving up slap and tickle - reckons fellas would be off their trollies not check out her wares.
The Daily Star Sunday was tipped off about her one-woman sex industry price phwoar by a reader who spotted her ads on several adult internet sites.
On one the 26-year-old boasted: "I'm a sexy brunette in my late 20s offering all sexual services from my flat in Leeds and, seeing as money is short this Christmas, I am offering a loyalty scheme for my regular clients.
"It is really simple. You come and visit me for five sessions - half hour or full hour - and you get the sixth one free. Simples. Talk about more bang for your buck. Now get arranging those naughty sessions guys."
A Daily Star Sunday reporter booked a half-hour appointment with Kara at her flat in a tower block on the edge of Leeds last week.
Attractive Kara opened the door in a full-length, black see-through gown with matching black bra and stockings with high-heeled shoes and immediately tried to usher our reporter through to the bedroom.
But our man was keen to extract more details about the terms and conditions of her loyalty card after handing over £40 for half an hour of what she promised would be a "full sex service".
"You give me five sessions and you get something back from me for free"Kara
And she revealed: "I got the idea from supermarkets. I worked for one in Leeds until a few months ago when I was sacked so I need the cash because I've got a daughter at school.
"It is dead simple. You give me five sessions and you get something back from me for free. It gives me the incentive to give you the time of your life and you the incentive to keep coming back."
Brunette Kara - who charges £80 for an hour - persisted in trying to entice our reporter into her boudoir, grabbing her breasts in a suggestive manner and purring: "Come on, it is buy one get one free."
But our reporter - anxious to stick to window shopping - said he was too nervous to take up her offer and said he preferred to chat.
Kara said: "That's fine, love it's your money. I reckon I am onto a winner with this though I don't think it will be long before some other girls are copying my idea, though I am not scared of a little healthy competition."
Keen to close the sale between the sheets persistent Kara made a grab our man's leg but he was not to be seduced by her sexy sales patter.
But before he made his excuses and left Kara insisted on presenting him with a pink loyalty card and signing off the first meeting, adding: "I hope to see you again hun, when you aren't so shy."

Ford has revealed the official fuel-economy ratings for its 2013 Fusion Hybrid midsize sedan, and the numbers are impressive. The Fusion Hybrid will return 47/47 mpg (city/highway), with a combined rating of 47 mpg. That's enough to beat nearly all of the country's other hybrid cars.That number trumps many of the 2013 Ford Fusion's competitors. The 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid is rated for 43/39 mpg, the 2012 Hyundai Sonata and 2012 Kia Optima hybrids score 35/40 mpg, and the 2012 Lexus CT 200h manages 43/40 mpg. The well-known Toyota Prius tops Ford with EPA ratings of 51/48 mpg — but the Prius is considerably smaller and less powerful than the 2013 Ford Fusion.The new car's rating also handily trumps that of the outgoing 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which bore ratings of 41/36 mpg. The 2013 car uses a 141-hp, 2.0-liter inline-four engine and a 118-hp electric motor, with energy stored in a lithium-ion battery pack.The 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, which will share many of its mechanical components with the Fusion, is expected to return 45/45/45 mpg (city/highway/combined) in EPA testing. Earlier this year, Ford revealed that the 2013 C-Max Hybrid will mirror the Fusion with ratings of 47/47/47 mpg.Ford also confirmed fuel-economy ratings for all versions of the 2013 Fusion. Models with the 175-hp 2.5-liter inline-four engine will return up to 22/34 mpg (city/highway). Those with the 178-hp, 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbo-four should manage 25/37 mpg. 2013 Fusions with the 240-hp, 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo-four engine are expected to return 22/33 mpg.Ford has started production of the 2013 Fusion at its plant in Flat Rock, Michigan to supplement capacity from another plant in Hermosillo, Mexico. The 2013 Ford Fusion starts at $22,495 (after destination) and should reach dealers this fall.

My Beautiful Religion is the fruit of a long labor by a team of experts in their field. Conveying such knowledge in line with pedagogic principles rather than in a haphazard manner is vital to provide a healthier and systematic education for children. The volume at hand of the My Beautiful Religion series which consist of Ibadah, dwells on topics like salat, sawm, hajj and zakat. The explanatory method followed by the book is quite simple, comprehensible and even fun. To add greater appeal to the book: Each section begins with a story to enable more interest filled read. The relevant ayah and hadith is emphasized in each section and is given in a separate frame. Given also are the underlying wisdoms behind and the benefits of each deed of worship for human beings. Because of the inherent interest children have towards illustrations, each section is supported with illustrations of relevant nature. Prophet Muhammad –blessing and peace be upon Him-, his friends and the cherished memories of the greats of Islam are offered to the imagination of children. Also used are tables and diagrams, in places relevant, to convey the given information with more ease. Concluding each section are questions through which children can test what they learn. Prayers of Prophet Muhammad –blessing and peace be upon Him- are amply included throughout the book.

Yesterday DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart had to testify before members of Congress in regards to a series of illegal sex parties that DEA agents participated in. The sex parties took place in Columbia, and involved prostitutes that were paid for by cartels. According to Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), Michele Leonhart 'looked the other way' and instead of punishing the parties involved, gave them 'essentially a vacation.' Per The Hill:
Both Republicans and Democrats took shots at Leonhart, with some calling for "new leadership" at the DEA. She'll be back on Capitol Hill Wednesday testifying before what promises to be an equally hostile House Judiciary Committee hearing.
The Justice Department's inspector general released a report on March 26, accusing DEA agents of participating in sex parties funded by the drug cartels they were supposed to be investigating.
The top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), called the sex scandal "deplorable."
"The inspector general's report details conduct that is deplorable for anyone, let alone law enforcement officials serving the United States of America," Cummings said at the hearing.
To be fair, the sex parties occurred before Michele Leonhart took control of the DEA in 2010. With that being said, many of the DEA agents still work with the agency, and there were allegations at the hearing that not only is Michele Leonhart refusing to fire them, she has tried to protect some of them. Michele Leonhart fired back saying that she is offended by their conduct and behavior, and she is trying to 'fix the system.' Those are just empty words though, proven by the fact that not only are many of the DEA agents still on the job (none were ever fired, although at least one has retired), many of them received promotions. Per the Huffington Post:
At a hearing held by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart also admitted that "a number" of agents who were involved in prostitution were promoted between the time the incidents occurred and the time they were fully investigated. None of the DEA employees involved were fired.
Michele Leonhart will say whatever it takes to save her own backside, and to maintain 'business as usual' at the DEA. If she really wanted to 'fix the system' her agency would constantly be involved in scandals. The Drug Policy Alliance has started a petition calling for the termination of Michele Leonhart. You can sign it at this link here. Below is the language of the petition:
Recent revelations show that the DEA has been secretly tracking billions of U.S. phone calls for decades. And several agents were just accused of having sex parties with hired sex workers funded by drug cartels.
This is outrageous, and yet another example of how drug prohibition breeds corruption. It's time to end the war on drugs and hold the DEA accountable for their actions.
DEA Chief Michele Leonhart has stood in the way of sensible drug policies for too long.
I urge you to fire Michele Leonhart and rein in the DEA.

Amid growing tensions in the South China Sea between the United States and China, with China building man-made islands and declaring the territory belongs to China, the communist country just conducted tests of its latest intercontinental ballistic missile.
#China Tests New Multiple-#Warhead Missile, Raising Concerns in Washington https://t.co/ezL4Dsnsxg pic.twitter.com/pGawDt88Ur
— DefenceTalk.com (@defencetalk) April 21, 2016
According to the Free Beacon, "the flight test of the new road-mobile DF-41 missile took place Tuesday with two multiple, independently targetable reentry vehicles, or MIRVs, that were monitored in flight by U.S. military satellites and other regional sensors."
"U.S. Strategic Command commander Adm. Cecil Haney said Jan. 22 that China's multiple warhead missiles are part of a significant investment in both nuclear and conventional forces," the Free Beacon reported. Haney reportedly said in a speech, "China is re-engineering its long-range ballistic missiles to carry multiple nuclear warheads."

The Free Beacon, describing the situation in the South China Sea, added, "The Pentagon has said China is covertly building military bases on disputed islands in the sea. Beijing has accused Washington of militarizing the sea by deploying warships and bolstering regional alliances." The U.S. military refuses to accept China's declaration that the waters now belong to China as a result of its construction of the man-made islands.

"The new missile poses a significant strategic threat because it is larger than other road-mobile ICBMs and the new JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile," the Free Beacon said. It added that the new missile is able to carry up to 10 warheads, although the one tested indicated only two dummy warheads were aboard at the time of the testing.

Defense officials told the Free Beacon the tests are a part of a larger buildup of China's nuclear arsenal that also includes the retrofitting of older warheads. Rick Fisher, a China military affairs analyst, warned, "But what is much worse is that China and Russia are increasingly coordinating their military forces against the Untied States and that China's program of enabling North Korea and Iran to become nuclear missile powers is nearing completion."

London, Aug 2 (ANI): Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have decided to ban some functions of Blackberry phones due to security concerns.
The UAE is set to block emailing facility, internet access, and instant messaging service to other Blackberry handsets.
Saudi Arabia is to ban the use of the Blackberry to Blackberry instant messaging service.
Both countries say they are unable to monitor such communications via the handsets since the Blackberry handsets automatically send the encrypted data to computer servers outside of the two nations.
The UAE ban will come into effect in October, while Saudi's move will begin later this month.
Abdulrahman Mazi, a board member of state-controlled Saudi Telecom, said the decision is intended to pressurise Blackberry's Canadian owner, Research in Motion (RIM), to release data from users' communications "when needed", reports The BBC.
The UAE's telecoms regulator, TRA, said the lack of compliance with local laws raised "judicial, social and national security concerns".
While RIM is yet to comment on either case, the decision may unsettle some 500,000 Blackberry users in the UAE, and 400,000 in Saudi Arabia. (ANI)

First Team News
Fernandinho's Brazil earn last-gasp win
Fernandinho completed 90 minutes for Brazil, as the Selecao left it late to kick-off their Copa America adventure with a 2-1 win over Peru.
Trailing by a goal to nil after just three minutes, Dunga's side had to come from behind to secure victory and had to wait until injury time to achieve it, courtesy of a Douglas Costa strike.
The triumph leaves them level on points in Group C with Venezuela, who surprisingly defeated Colombia 1-0 earlier in the day.
Brazil headed into the clash seeking a ninth title in the competition - but they got off the worst possible start.
Christian Cueva opened the scoring early on, capitalising on a dreadful attempted clearance from goalkeeper Jefferson and smashing the ball into the back of the net.
The lead would last just two minutes though, as an inspired Neymar found himself unmarked in the box to convert a header into the bottom corner from Dani Alves' cross.
Having become the youngest player to score 44 goals for Brazil, he then sought his 45th and saw one effort hit the crossbar on 53 minutes.
The Barcelona forward was involved again to help snatch the win, cutting inside before teeing up Costa, who slotted in at the near post to extend his side's winning streak to 11 games.
Brazil face Colombia next on Wednesday.

The Power of Real-Time Data
As the home furnishings industry grows, expands and changes form, we're witnessing the evolution of business enhanced by technology and real-time data. And, there's no better example than Moe's Home Furnishings. They're a step ahead online with visible inventory that solves for customer pain point (out-of-stock items) before the pain becomes a problem.
For those of you who are new to digital, real-time data is most simply defined as information that is presented as it is acquired. The truth of this is that real-time doesn't necessarily mean in this moment, but it's certainly more accurate than traditional methods. Real-time data may or may not be customer facing. And, it is as applicable in a traditional store as it is online.
Real-time data matters to retailers because it allows merchants to identify and respond to trends as they happen. This provides an opportunity to capitalize on consumer behavior – while simultaneously offering a more personalized shopping experience. This translates as product placement changes, pricing changes both online and in store and so forth.
A wonderful in-store example is Dragonfly, developed by Black Swan. The system uses in-store cameras focused on a display that synthesizes movement to create a heat map that shows customer interest and interaction with product. The real-life benefit of this type of data is that store associates can evaluate and adjust displays accordingly – as interest moves and changes – for more effective and profitable merchandising.
Amber Engine has created a technology that allows for data transfers between home furnishings manufacturers and retailers, including dimensions, product specifications, options and imagery. Retailers can leverage the information online as well as in store for a more personalized shopping experience based on customer wants and needs.
This type of digital integration addresses consumers' growing expectations of connected businesses. As our reliance on devices increase, people expect a stronger and more diverse digital experience from retailers. And that's not just on their dot com.
In a 2016 Forrester study titled "Real-Time Data Drives the Future of Retail," consumers revealed they want store associates equipped with devices enabled to check inventory, deliver product data and reserve inventory at another physical location. In short, they want technology to enhance the shopping experience for an easier, more efficient and personalized exchange.
The challenge for retailers is transitioning legacy systems and updating existing technology. The change can be costly and time consuming, but the payoff is worth it. No one can dispute a business evolution that creates a happy marriage of brick and click.
But, in the move, remember to keep your customers in mind. They want an enhanced customer experience, online and in-store. So, it is the retailer's responsibility to anticipate and solve for potential problems, before they occur. In turn, this creates improvements in operational excellence – which means that when real-time data is used to benefit the customer, everyone wins.

Artisan startups are kind of the untold story on the Triangle's startup scene.
There are tech startups, who've gotten plenty of attention, financially and otherwise. There are biotech startups. There are cleantech/green startups.
And then there are companies like Bound Custom Journals, CityFabric, The Makery and Seam Happy that make items (and platforms for those items) that are both functional and beautiful, but find their business models a bit more of a hard sell to investors who are more familiar with startups built on MySQL than startups built on paper and fabric.
To help artisans get on the road to long-term viability, there is a new incubator called Kindred opening in downtown Raleigh. At 131 S. Wilmington St., which will take on a boutique-y look, artisans will receive one-on-one mentoring, monthly business workshops and have space to display and sell their wares.
The partners behind the nonprofit incubator are EntreDot, a business mentoring association, and Michelle Smith, founder of indieNC, a blog on NC designers and artists, and the Rock & Shop, an 8-year-old biannual music and shopping event. Michelle is a product designer herself, and recently created the window display for the new West Elm store in Durham.
Kindred's grand opening, with champagne and a costume party, is planned for Oct. 27. In the meantime, founders are still looking for help in the upfit of the building. They have also launched a Kickstarter campaign to help pay for modular shelving units and lighting. (Check it all out here.)
The growth of artisans in North Carolina is reaching critical mass, according to Michelle.
"It's kind of at the tipping point now. Because of the success of companies like Etsy, you have events like the Rock & Shop and you have designers who've been creating products for a long time," she said. "We're trying to bring the focus onto these types of companies."
More of Michelle's thoughts and info on Kindred after the jump:
Kindred will be able to have 30 artisans in the mentoring program and an additional 20-30 artists as consignors. Application process is already open and it is a juried process open to all North Carolina artisans. Shelf space, which comes with mentoring, starts at $50 a month and 30 percent commission. (The pricing sheet and brochure is here. Email [email protected] for application forms.)
When Michelle started the Rock & Shop back in 2004, she hosted it at the YWCA and had 30 vendors, not juried. Now, she says, she can host it across three venues in one day. She can have 100 vendors, and have applications for three times as many. For the next Rock & Shop, she plans on holding it in conjunction with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham.
Through her experience as an artisan, scaling up her business when it got great press in magazines, then scaling down when she had her baby—she said she recognized the different business skills you need to have to maintain your craft.
"In general, a lot of these artisans make these products are very creative, very artistic types of people. There's that cliche of the starving artist. They're driven by their art and they see their business as an art form versus just pursuing a business for financial reasons. That's really what we're trying to address. We're trying to give them the tools they need."
They often get to a point where they don't necessarily have the role models of successful businesses that are much larger in scope that are doing the types of things they're doing. But that's starting to happen. Etsy is a great example. We want to help these artists realize that they can grow if they want to grow to that level.
One of the struggles we have is scaling up—A business can't grow if it is exclusively hand-made. A lot of these artisans, they're the only ones working on this product but they can't grow if they're only hand-making by themselves. The perception from artisans is that they need to keep it handmade, but we're trying to tell them they can grow into a cottage industry, and even partner with manufacturers."

30 Days of Discipline (PDF) Review: Victor Pride's Boot Camp for Winners
It can be said that the first step in rebuilding anything is to tear down the original. If you've never been in the military, that's the idea they bring to boot camp. They break your will to build you back up with the right set of skills and disciplines to function in the larger military machine.
That's the principle behind 30 Days of Discipline. It's a 30-day plan to bring more control into your life. It teaches control by having you follow a set of disciplines every day. Each of these is something most men don't normally do, but when it becomes a habit, it becomes part of your life. Some may even see it as 30 days of hardship.
Performing the requirements is entirely at your discretion, which makes it even more of a challenge. But if you can do as instructed for a mere 30 days out of your life, it can put you well on the path to becoming a more focused and disciplined person – a person bent on success.
Keeping the idea and the objective in mind, here's my 30 Days of Discipline review.
Victor Pride
This is the man behind 30 Days of Discipline. So who is Victor Pride? I was curious about that, too. "Victor" is the man behind a website he calls "Bold and Determined". As sort of a counterpoint to feminism, his site is written for men. Specifically, men who want to take charge of their lives and excel at achieving success in whatever they choose to do.
Victor Pride is a macho guy, you might say, who's into bodybuilding, business, and getting what he wants. But he is also concerned with the male role in modern society.
In short, he's in many ways a motivational speaker for a man's right to be a man. His is an appealing story because he's undergone the whole transformation himself, from skinny and underpaid to brawny and pursuing his dreams. The hard work and results he found in working out set his mind to applying the same disciplines to all his pursuits in life.
So I decided to take a good look at Victor's book, and what I discovered is summed up in this 30 Days of Discipline review.
I saw that, at the end of the 30 days, you should feel you've gained a few things. For one, pride in taking on the challenge and following through on it. Of course, you need to have some goal, some purpose, on which to focus your new discipline. If you've completed 30 Days of Discipline with no goals defined for yourself, it's little more than an exercise. Victor Pride and his eBook has the goal of changing your life.
This eBook has you practice 12 different habits, because scheduling various tasks around your personal life and other interests is vital to your success. It's not about becoming a robot or a workaholic. In fact, you're even allowed a day of rest.
If you're like most of us, you probably have several things you want to accomplish. Quit smoking, get in shape, be more confident, learn a second language – it all boils down to the same sense of discipline that's important to attaining any of these goals. What the 30 Days of Discipline PDF does is make focus and self-management a core part of the way you attack your life challenges.
The Hard Part
Sticking with it for 30 days is harder than you might think, especially if your self-discipline is not good to start with. If you're looking for a quick fix, try a hypnotist. If there's one thing you should get out of this 30 Days of Discipline review, it's that the program outlined here takes real effort, and Victor Pride doesn't sugar-coat it.
Learning self discipline is about forcing yourself to do things you don't want to do. Getting by in real life is not about taking your time and being comfortable. If you think it is, you're either very lucky or not accomplishing much. If you're not interested in real commitment, this eBook is not for you.
One of the fundamentals you find here is getting out of bed early, before anyone else. If you're one of those people who can't get to work without a good night's sleep and a couple cups of coffee, it's a rough road, at least in the beginning.
Another part of the program is daily exercise. You don't have to take off to the gym or go out jogging as part of your routine. The author had the foresight to include an effective bodyweight routine as one of the essential habits of the program. If you've let yourself go, you'll struggle, but it's an important part of the take-charge attitude.
The exercise routine here is not about serious training; it's about serious self-discipline. It's about breaking down the mental barriers, not the physical ones.
Getting to bed early, daily exercise, and 10 other habits may eat up a lot of your time and focus. Some, like good posture and dressing well, make sense. Things like taking a cold shower every day seem like torture. The whole experience could be difficult, even lonely. It can be hard to explain to your family and friends. But you're in boot camp now. If you can tough out the first two weeks, 30 days isn't much of a sacrifice for what you stand to gain.
Providing Structure
The main purpose of the eBook is giving you a productive framework to build your life around. It enables you to get things done and succeed with what you want from life. If you complete the program, you have already acquired the mindset that will help you stay with it.
If you're someone who has a normal job but wants to reach for more, then this ebook is for you. It will help you to find the strength and focus to pursue your own vision, such as starting your own business or finishing that novel you always wanted to write. It's for someone who wants to embrace life without following somebody else's routine. You have to understand that your life is your responsibility, and develop the self discipline to work hard at it.
After 30 Days
Say you've gotten the 30 Days of Discipline PDF and managed to stick it out for the duration of the program. You probably have no intention of staying with it for the rest of your life. That would be obsession. The idea is to bring self discipline into your life in a meaningful way, and embrace the behaviors that you've found work best for you, your lifestyle, and your objectives. Exhausting yourself or spending months in seclusion is probably not the optimal outcome.
But the tools are there. For instance, one of the book's recommendations is to keep a notebook handy for recording your thoughts. It's not an original idea, but very few people do it. The point of following the 30 Days program is that this becomes one of the beneficial habits you take with you long after the cold showers are over.Access Now

I am 49 yrs old from India.Was diagnosed with stage 3C in July of 2011.I was devastated as was not expecting this.I have taken 3 chemo followed by debulking surgery and then 3 chemo.I responded to my chemo really well.My CA125 came down with each chemo.it was 308 initially..now after my followup after treament I had a CT scan which shows a few subcentimeter nodes on my pleura.And my CA125 is 33.6 as done a week before.A month before it was only 8.I have yet to see my oncologist and I am so sad.I will have to go back through all the process once again.Anyone can help me and tell me what will they do this time?Has anyone gone through similar circumstances?
I am really depressed now.
You have an awesome bunch of people here.
Apr 03, 2012 - 10:25 pm
that you are going through this battle too. As a stage 2b survivor, my journey has been somewhat different than yours but there are 3C survivors on this board who can probably relate to your experiences and respond back to you with information. I totally sympathize with your feelings of sadness over having to go through this process again but you can do it! I'm hoping and praying for an excellent outcome for you this time around. I want to mention that I have a friend who is a nine-year stage 3C ovarian cancer survivor who has not let cancer get in the way of her living life to the fullest. She and her husband enjoy traveling to other countries regularly each year and she enjoys her time with family and friends.
Take care and please keep us posted.
Apr 04, 2012 - 3:34 am
I really hope all goes well.
I hope I take some inspiration from your friend.
Thanks for your kind words.
Apr 04, 2012 - 3:00 pm
I had a recurrence in January after having NED for 7 months. I am now halfway through my second series of chemo treatments - gemzar/carbo this time. They seem to be working, as my CA-125 has gone from 85 to 10.
I know it's very hard not to get depressed. Somehow you'll find the extra energy, strength, and faith needed to keep on fighting to survive, just like Kelly's friend. (That story has inspired me!).
Please let us know what course of action your oncologist has planned for you. We're here for you, and we care.
Apr 04, 2012 - 5:16 pm
I know that the news of a reoccurance is almost worse than the initial diagnosis. I just had a 9 month remission and now I am back on chemo. I am still having a hard time dealing with it even though my doctor is optimistic. I am taking Loxidox (doxil). They tell me it is actually made in India. Other places have temporarily quit making it so it has been hard to come by. My doc says I can take it for years and it has few side effects. It does not make you sick or lose your hair. They have a patient that had been on other chemos for years and then started this one 4 1/2 years ago and she is still working and traveling.I dont know what stage she was at diagnosis. There are several good drugs out there and I am sure the doc will pick out what is best for you. Good luck and keep in touch!
May 03, 2012 - 5:10 am
I am now on Caelyx.I had a pleural effusion and a very bad cough.Tapping had to be done two times.I had just 3 months gap between my chemotherapy.

"May the Force be with you."
Those six words sum up a multi-billion dollar franchise, connect millions of devoted fans and set the entire foundation for one of the most beloved stories of all time: #StarWars. In the vast cosmic landscape of George Lucas's sci-fi epic, #theForce is the universal glue holding everything together.
Aside from a literary device acting as the catalyst for the unexplainable, there's more to the Force than meets the third eye. Although camping in the territory of the unknown, the religion, or energy, or metaphysical "higher power" has more in common with widely recognized religions than one might imagine.
The impact has been significant and far reaching, so much so that 176,632 people in the UK identified themselves as Jedi in the 2011 census. The world over, people are seeing meaning in Lucas's creation, not so much as a hierarchical set of structures, but an inspiring and morally invigorating philosophy. But where did the inspiration come from? And is there real value in a Jedi way of life?
The Evolution Of The Force In The Star Wars Story
The context of society at the time Lucas scripted the original Star Wars movie, A New Hope (1977), goes some way to explaining how the Force came into fruition. Written during the counterculture of the early 1960s and mid-1970s, Lucas was heavily influenced by the revolutionary movement of the time.
The changing attitude toward religion reflected the subversive nature of those transitional years; people were looking outside of organized religion, instead crafting their own bespoke view of the intangible. Lucas himself has said that he intended A New Hope to "awaken a certain kind of spirituality" without endorsing a specific religion.

Arguably, without the infusion of the Force, Star Wars wouldn't have been such a success. As well as framing binary opposites of good and evil without much grey between — a device that served the story well — the mystical power also provided a powerful sense of hope. Hence the title.
Throughout the original trilogy, the Force is depicted as an unknown and mystical entity. Obi-Wan tells Luke of the power it holds, of the "light side" and the "dark side," and encourages him to embrace good, not evil. Furthermore, the original trilogy introduced both sides of the spectrum; the Jedi Order and the Sith. Obi-Wan describes the Force as:
"What gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together."
The prequels deviated from the metaphysical, and attempted to provide a biological framework for the Force in the form of midi-chlorians, which are microscopic life forms that live within the cells of all beings. However, attempting to describe the Force from this perspective only served to frustrate audiences, proving that sometimes, things are best left unexplained.
A Tale Of Good And Evil
Two of the franchise's biggest characters personify the Force in different ways. The first, Anakin Skywalker, begins his life by being labelled the "Chosen One." He has exceptional power, but falls victim to the dark side through fear, later becoming the iconic Sith Lord, Darth Vader. Anakin's timeline illustrates the thin line between powerful master and evil genius.
However it is Yoda who aptly warns Anakin in their first meeting of the perils and consequences of fear, predicting the character's own journey before it happens. He says:
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
That in itself is very similar to the Buddha's Four Noble Truths, which are:
- The truth of suffering (Dukkha).
- The truth of the origin of suffering (Samudāya).
- The truth of the cessation of suffering (Nirodha).
- The truth of the path to the cessation of suffering (Magga).
Buddhism: An Inspiration For The Force?
Although Lucas intended on tapping into the common essence of all religions, those core beliefs binding different branches together, the Force and its surrounding belief system has by far has the most striking resemblance to Buddhism. Lucas himself identifies as a "Buddhist methodist," and the roots in Eastern philosophy are evident.
There are remnants of Taoism (similarities between light and dark and yin and yang), Zoroastrianism (the fight between good and evil forces) as well as some links to Western Christianity (the "may the Force be with you" is similar to the greeting "the Lord be with you") and Stoicism. But it is Buddhism that has most of an impact on events in Star Wars.
The biggest link lies with two aspects of the Jedi religion; mindfulness (the act of being present) and meditation. These are the two cornerstones of Buddhism, a faith which is built on the principals of looking within at the True Self, that introversion is the key to enlightenment, and that the practice of mindfulness opens the heart and mind.
While many Jedi have the attributes of Buddhist monks, Yoda directly takes on a role of spiritual master (he's even reported to be based on Tibetan Buddhist teacher Tsenzhab Serkong Rinpoche). His teachings, to Luke in particular, align with Eastern philosophy. He focuses of clearing the mind to focus, on non-attachment to things and one memorable quote — "Try not! Do, or do not. There is no try" — reflects the Zen style of teaching to a tee.
The Jedi Consensus Phenomenon
Having an ethos based on real life spirituality is all well in good, but did Lucas succeed in inspiring a generation? The answer is a resounding yes. As mentioned earlier, in the 2011 census, almost 180,000 people voted Jedi as their religion. But the story goes much deeper.
10 years earlier, a number of English speaking countries joined in the movement to register themselves as Jedi. As well as being one of the earliest indications of a "viral" movement instigated by the Internet, a number of countries had significant results. In England and Wales, the 2001 census recorded 390,127 Jedi. In New Zealand, more people even voted Jedi over Buddhism (1.5% and 1.2% accordingly).
Although initially started as a tongue-in-cheek, anarchic way of refusing to share such information, there are those who see a deeper meaning in the Force and its surrounding ethos. The Church of Jediism, for example, has 200,000 members worldwide.
The Force Is Strong With These Films
The allure of the Force has remained strong; even the title of last year's The Force Awakens illustrates its continued importance in the franchise. Rogue One will tackle the Force from a different angle, set in a time when people didn't believe in its existence. Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen), though not Force sensitive, is a big believer in the Jedi ethos — something that helped him overcome his blindness and become a formidable warrior.
Although little is known about the plot of Star Wars 8, it is expected that the Force will play a big role. There have been rumors that Luke Skywalker will reveal the origin of the Jedi Order and the Force, as well as training Rey in all things Jedi. Furthermore, due to Rey's uncanny Force-sensitivity, there has been speculation that Rey may in turn train Finn (there have been allusions to his Force-sensitivity, too).
Whether viewed as a gimmick, pseduo-religion or a genuine inspiration, Lucas's creation has had a significant impact on popular culture. From the late '70s to present day, the way of the Jedi has inspired generation after generation.
Can it continue to do so with Star Wars 8 and beyond? Well, as a masked Sith Lord once said: "Don't underestimate the Force."
Is the Force a narrative gimmick? Or a real life inspiration?

IT'S one of the oldest games in Scotland but rugby is booming like never before.
Family-friendly and more sensibly priced than football, it's our fastest growing spectator sport.
Success for professional side Glasgow Warriors and the popularity of Sevens tournaments are fuelling record attendances.
And this weekend the Scotland national team are in action with a friendly against the USA in Houston - with every minute of the exciting action available for free on the Daily Record website.
Our site www.dailyrecord.co.uk is the only place to see the match, right here.
And after a bumper year for the sport, the game will be the perfect way to cap the season.
It's Scotland's first match under new head coach Vern Cotter and a chance for his side to show the world what they are made of.
Glasgow Warriors' great run to the final of the RaboDirect Pro12 tournament has been a highlight of the year.
Thousands packed the stands at Scotstoun Stadium for their play-off match.
Although the Warriors lost to Leinster in Dublin at the weekend, they still had reason to be proud of the 29 per cent increase in crowds on the previous year.
Warriors spokesman Jeremy Bone said: "We are working hard to get people into the game and attract families.
"We made our first final this year which certainly helps but there are also some really good young Scottish players coming through."
The Emirates Glasgow Sevens in May was a huge success - with fans donning fancy dress outfits.
And huge crowds are set to cheer on Scotland at the Rugby Sevens in the Commonwealth Games at Ibrox Stadium next month.
The final sessions are a 50,000 sellout.
The boost in popularity also extends to playing the game. There was a major jump in participation last year, with 2328 teams and 47,589 players registered by a club or school – with further increases expected.
So it's no wonder sport generates £100million a year for the Scottish economy.
Scotland's most capped player and record points scorer Chris Paterson is delighted to see the sport in such rude health.
He said: "It's great to see these numbers coming to the game and taking part.
"The game gets far more exposure at the top end now, and we want to extend the sport to everyone.
"We want people at all levels to get the maximum fun and enjoyment out of it."
And he predicted that viewers on the Daily Record website will be in for a treat.
He said: "It will be a great game. The USA have a lot of top players at big clubs in Europe and that will have an influence on the game but Scotland are above them in the world rankings.
"It will be a fast and physical game as the US play a quick style of rugby."
Former Scotland and British Lions prop Peter Wright praised the Record's coverage of the game.
He said: "Rugby is a friendly sport where both sets of fans mix and it doesn't have that tribalism that football has.
"It's absolutely fantastic that the Record are showing the game live because it's not great when broadcasters don't show the games.
"I was really chuffed when I heard the Record were showing it.
"Any media group willing to promote the game is a good thing."

"I like little flecks of blood adorning my doorsteps", a half smile playing on her lips. I managed a bloody smile which would have mortified anyone else other than Jessica here. Please let the poor bleeding man in.
"Come on in", said she. I bumbled onto the Oriental rug that layered the lounge. Yes she had a lounge. I plopped myself onto a comfy-looking couch that beckoned to me, trying not to get the blood to leak out between the fingers of my cupped palm.
There are some things in life that you just can't juggle together. You can't You can't adopt a pet and expect to live out your couch potato dream of a lifestyle. And you cannot pinch close a bloody nose, pry a self-administered wedgie out of your ass crack and try and make it look inconspicuous. You just cannot.
Fortunately for me, it was Jessica's toned derrière who stared at me as it bounced away.
All those squats and kick-boxing lessons begging for attention. Besides, when you have your head tilted back, trying to pinch close, a nose leaking blood, you'd welcome anything to take your mind off the throbbing pain.
She sauntered back a few moments later with two cubes of ice nestled inside a handkerchief and a steaming mug of what turned out to be hot chocolate.
"Tilt head forward, doofus. Do you want all that fresh blood to run down your throat.", she smirked, handing me the ice pack. I accepted it and held it gratefully against my nose.
"Attila the Hun was thought to have died of a nosebleed on the day he tied the knot, you know.", said Jessica, gingerly sipping down on the chocolate.
"More due to his alcohol related liver cirrhosis culminating in his esophageal varices rupturing", she added delicately.
A shot her a glazed look from under the cold, wet, drippy handkerchief.
"The veins around his stomach exploded", she continued "..which was somehow related to his liver being over-saturated with ethanol, allowing blood to flood his digestive system and.."
"..hence the nosebleed", she finished with a flourish.
"One moment indirectly responsible for the fall of the greatest empire the world has ever seen and the next moment; dead, gagging on your own blood", she whispered, snuggling into her end of the sofa, drawing her legs up so that her chin rested on her knees.
"That's just one theory anyway. Another one says that he was assassinated by his young bride", she said sucking a bit of cocoa off her little finger.
"Oh and I did not kill him", she glared at me.
Nice of her to bring that up. I was hoping that this would be a one-sided conversation and that I wouldn't have to do much of the talking. I wouldn't have said much, even if her door hadn't ambushed me and bashed my nose into my brain.
And Jessica would've scored perfect tens if the guys at Andrews were allowed to hold scores up when she passed them by. I was here only because of Neil. She knew it and I knew it. Three years, we spent in the same class and I don't even remember having anything go beyond a 'How've-you-been-friendly-smile' routine. Damn you, social anxiety disorder.
Everything that I knew about her, was known by everyone. She was the kind of person whose love life would be discussed in huddles among girls all over the campus. Pieces and snatches of information from different sources which if pieced together would form a healthy, hit-scarred Wikipedia page.
"He had a Business Studies paper the next day and so he asked me if he could stay over to save up on the travel time", she continued, ignoring the brief foray into my psychological history and the blatant violation of her privacy.
"I agreed. We bunked in my parents bedroom. I don't think that he was here that night because of the paper at all. Neil was never the one to mug up stuff on the eve of an exam. He wasn't even his usual horny self. I remember watching him pretend to study, his mind clearly on something else. He fidgeted with his phone and paced around a lot that night. It was as if he expected something to happen. I tried asking him about it but he shrugged it away. Then at about a quarter to one the phone rings. It must have been bad news because he sounded angry. He said something about not telling him something and that they were in big trouble. Then he storms off without so much as a goodbye. The next thing I know, I'm entertaining a horde of policemen walking all over my carpet. There's my end of the story. Happy, Sherlock ?".
I waited. As if there was anything else that I could do besides being a mute goat.
"It was some dude called Errol. I heard him say it when he answered it."
