Weeks ago we posed the questions: What's your secret fitness superpower? And, what fitness superpower do you wish you had? Today, it's Erin's turn for this QOTW!
So the other ladies have let us in on their fitness superpowers for our Question of the Week. Jenn is a kettlebell and shoulder master. Karen is all about core power, and Susan's superpower is being stubborn — an asset for endurance events. I had to think long and hard back on my fitness life to decide on my superpower.
I thought back to playing softball and basketball throughout my childhood. Thought of my days of cheerleading all through high school. Thought of all the fitness classes I've taken and races I've done and endless workouts I've done at the gym. Thought of the days I'd work out on hot summer days at 5 p.m. in the heat all in the name of getting a T-shirt (and, well, seeing my future hubby). Thought of my recently installed pull-up bar and my ability to pretty quickly gain enough strength to do a pull-up. Then I thought of something Kristen said last year when the FBG team met for a group workout. I think she said something along the lines of me being scrappy. And I decided that that is my superpower: I'm scrappy as hell.
Like Susan, I have a crazy amount of stubbornness and sheer determination. And despite being clumsy by nature and awkward in Zumba, when it comes to non-dance athletic and fitness endeavors, I'm fairly coordinated. I'm aware of my body and how it works in relation to equipment and balls (har!) and the ground, so once I'm taught something, my muscles remember. And if I'm not great at something? I'm just determined to improve. And when I put my mind to something I can improve quickly.
Needs Improvement
Like any superhero, though, I've got flaws. I bite off more than I can chew occasionally and have to sit out from injury. I am prone to repetitive stress injuries for whatever reason. And my damn wrists are just small—like no matter how strong I am, I seriously struggle with heavy pots and pans when they're full. My wrists just can't take the torque!
Looking at my strength and weaknesses this way is a good way to come up with a new goal though: I need to try something new to test out my Scrappy-Dappy-Doo nature and coordination, while doing something to gain strength.
Any ideas for what I should try next? —Erin

One of the biggest challenges of living in a new country is adapting to and learning a new language. Trying to make your way in a place where no one can understand you can certainly be daunting, so the faster you learn, the better. Here are our tips for learning a new language quickly and efficiently.
Identify the phrases you will need/use most often
Whether it's greeting people, asking for directions, or finding ingredients in a supermarket, there are some conversational phrases that are going to come up over and over again as you go about your day-to-day life. If you can figure out and then learn the ones that are most essential, you will be able to navigate much better. Learning the rest can come later.
Invest in a learning program
There are many different language programs available. Some focus on conversational aspects of language, while others take a more holistic approach. Some provide auditory instruction, while others use a system of pictures and words. If you take time to research, you are sure to find one that is suited to your needs and your particular learning style. Rosetta Stone is known to be one of the best options: It works quickly; it focuses on vocabulary, conversational language, and the language as a whole; and it places special emphasis on pronunciation.
Immerse yourself
Full immersion has been proven as one of the best techniques for learning a language quickly. As opposed to formal lessons, where you must commit words to memory and then ask your brain to try to assemble them into language, using a new language "in the moment" forces your brain to actively retain the information and use it immediately in context.
Just as when you were an infant learning your first language, struggling to understand others and have them understand you will help you imprint the new words far more firmly in your mind than formal learning ever could. Some experts believe that those who practice immersion can learn a language in as few as 10 days. While you may not learn that quickly, you will learn faster than you ever believed you could.
Let go of your inhibitions
You cannot be shy and learn a new language. You must be willing to try to speak it, however clumsily, if you want to progress quickly. So let go. It's okay to mess up – you are learning. The locals may chuckle a bit at your expense, but they will also be honored that you are trying to learn, and likely very willing to help.
Practice, practice, practice
There is no substitute for practice. If you learn a new language but don't use it frequently, you won't progress. It is also important to practice with native speakers; they can help you when you stumble, and you will unconsciously pick up the inflections, vocabulary and colloquialisms that will eventually have you sounding like a native speaker.

Why Do Individuals Choose Self-Employment?
This paper undertakes an analysis of the motivating factors cited by the self-employed in the UK as reasons for choosing self-employment. Very limited previous research has addressed the question of why individuals report that they have chosen self-employment. Two questions are addressed using large scale labour force survey data for the UK. The first concerns the extent to which the self-employed are self-employed out of necessity, opportunity, lifestyle decision or occupational choice. The second concerns the extent to which there is heterogeneity amongst the self-employed on the basis of the motivations that they report for choosing self-employment. Factor analysis reveals a number of different dimensions of entrepreneurship on the basis of stated motivation, but with no evidence that being 'forced' into entrepreneurship through economic necessity is a significant factor. Motivation towards entrepreneurship is therefore highly multidimensional. Multivariate regression analysis is employed using a method to control for self-selection into self-employment. This reveals significant differences between men and women, with women concerned more with lifestyle factors and less with financial gain. Market-directed 'opportunity' entrepreneurship is more strongly associated with higher educational attainment. Those joining family businesses appear not to value prior educational attainment. Public policy to promote entrepreneurship therefore needs to be tailored carefully to different groups.

President Obama the first president of The U.S to visit the Island of the Castro's, in 90 years. Apart from Obama having a good time watching a baseball match in the country, he is coming back with something every American will be grateful for. Thanks to Obama, there are hopes for there are possibilities of clinical tests for CimaVax.CimaVax is a both a treatment and a vaccine for lung cancer that's been researched and used in Cuba for 25 years. How the drug works is that it induces the patient's body to build antibodies against Epidermal growth reason receptor; a growth reason that shows cancer cells such as lung cancer cells make.So far, CimaVax has successfully been used in over 5,000 patients worldwide with great results. The drug is not only very cheap as it is available for $ 1 dollar a shot, but research has also shown that there are no significant side effects reported from use of the drug.This is a great discovery by Cuba that U.S cannot afford to miss, going by the fact that lung cancer has remained an issue for the state of America.

How come the Moderator knows If Im a proxy or not?
March 10, 2012 by admin
Filed under Discussions
Question by : How come the Moderator knows If Im a proxy or not?
I dont understand? — A forum moderator banned this person for logging on as a proxy. He didnt banned her, she requested it. But the thing is, he was checking up on her and asked her where is she logging from? Which makes it sound like he is able to stalk people's IP location.
What else do they know apart from IP? Do they also know my computer, network browsing etc.?? I mean where can I find out.
Best answer:
Answer by brisray
It's not hard to identify if a request is coming from a proxy. Some methods can be found here – http://ipmarker.com/dailytips/2011/05/17/how-to-identify-a-highly-anonymous-or-elite-proxy/ Besides which, anyone can acces the proxy server lists not just kids playing games or going to Facebook from their school's network.
Whenever you go to a website a lot of information is exchanged. None of it can personally identify you or where you live.
IP address of the client computer
ID of the client computer
UserID of the client computer
Date / time when the server finished the file request – day/month/year:hour:minute:second zone
Method used for the file request
File requested
Protocol used for the request
Status returned from server to client
File size returned to client
File referrer – This gives the site that the client reports having been referred from
User agent – This is the identifying information that the client browser and OS reports about itself.
This information is mostly used for statistical analysis of how people use websites.
What do you think? Answer below!

It's common after an election for Americans to want to travel abroad. The election cycle is an arduous process. "Democracy is hard," as President Obama said yesterday. People are looking for a getaway. Some more long-term than others.
You need skills to be successful, but which are the hardest to learn if you go straight through school to college? Which are the best skills to focus on if you're planning your own gap year program?
Each year that we send our students out to travel around the world learning skills, we know we're leaving concerned parents behind at home. This year, one of our gap year moms stepped up to blog about what it's like to be a gap year parent.
In every Winterline program, there's a teeny bit of down time. Usually our students decide they'd prefer adventure over resting.

Review for Toyota of Puyallup
AL K. on 01/29/2014
"Best Place for Fast Service"
Toyota of Puyallup is the best place for fast service. They are located in such an easily-accessible area making them fast to get to; they are really fast (less than 5 minutes) to get the car in-processede; they are fast doing the maintenance; and they are fast (less than 5 minutes) in informing the customer what was done & out-processing.

Review for McCullough Auto Care & Towing
Jody D. on 11/17/2015
"Great experience! "
Friendly and honest! I took my older car in for a couple minor problems, while I was picking it up I mentioned needing a quote on my other car. I had had a small altercation with my garage door and had paint on the front side of the car, I had taken it to the dealership and was quoted $1,299.00 for repairs. I was also told by the Cadillac dealership that only 'they' can get Cadillac paint (not true). When the guys came out to take a look at the damage they laughed and were able to wipe off the paint with a compound they had there. Looks great! They didn't charge me anything! WOW! Small town feel in Atlanta.

If you have been to Glasgow at any stage during the past few months, or were at London 2012 in any capacity, or if you have ever chanced upon a local council newsletter or an in-flight magazine or a piece of corporate publicity, or if you ever visit the website of your favourite sports team, or indeed if you exist at all in modern society, then you will be familiar with something called Everything Is Amazing syndrome.
The name, I just made up. The condition it describes, however, is chronic.
Its essential premise is that nothing can be bad, or wrong, or even merely quite good. In communication, it is the rabid proliferation of exclamation marks where full stops would do perfectly well. In media, it is to be found in the proliferation of online articles with headlines like "You Won't Believe These Nine Pictures Of Cute Kittens We Just Found" in lieu of, say, actual news.
In sport, it is the steadfast belief that a catastrophe is never a catastrophe but a stroke of misfortune, that a performance can never be abject or inadequate but merely disappointing.
Everything else, without exception, is Amazing. Those colourful dancers at the opening ceremony? Amazing. That photograph of the two hockey players taking a selfie with Her Majesty lurking in the background? Amazing. Sir Chris Hoy being asked by an officious security guard for identification before he could be allowed to enter the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome? Definitely amazing.
The crowd are Amazing, the venues they are sitting in are all uniformly Amazing, as is, naturally the event itself: The Amazing Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
So, on the day Glasgow opened its doors to the Commonwealth, just how amazing was it? If you were in any of the venues, the message was clear.
Just as at London 2012, excitable comperes were quick to remind everyone of how much fun they were having. The big screen at the judo arena flashed with hyperactive slogans, occasionally with a local bent. "MAKE SOME NOISE!" was the most popular buzz-phrase. Another read: "GIE IT LALDY!", which is really one short step away from "BAWL AT ME, BIG MAN!" In an age when everyone is essentially a subject in their own reality television show, even sitting in a crowd and watching sport has been elevated to the level of performance.
The irony was that the crowd were content to enjoy themselves without cajoling. The shrieking crowds at Strathclyde Country Park for the triathlon and the velodrome for the track cycling were testament to that.
At the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, thousands relished their first experience of Cypriot judo. Elsewhere, however, small pockets of empty seats lay like scars at the hockey and the bowls. At the weightlifting, tickets were still available for sale in the morning.
But empty seats were not really the problem. It was the little things. The extortionate £2.50 charge to use a cash machine, for example. Or the lack of seating in general public areas, forcing the elderly and infirm to chuff and puff in the heat. Or the overweening security checks, surpassing even London in their diligence.
This is before we get to the sport, which oscillated between the exceptional and the esoteric. In squash, the world champion took on a solicitor from Mauritius.
In one swimming event, the same five men contested a heat in the morning before returning for the final in the evening. For all this and more, there was naturally only one word on the lips of Scotland's First Minister. "For the city it's amazing," Alex Salmond said on a visit to the bowls venue at Kelvingrove.
All of which probably seems a little curmudgeonly on Glasgow's day of sporting jubilee. But perhaps some perspective is required here. The Olympic and Paralympic Games in London were amazing events in the most literal sense: they generated moments of joy and waves of fervour and feats of athletic grace that genuinely dropped the jaw. They brought the entire world together. They raised the bar for every subsequent host of a major sporting event.
Glasgow 2014, through no fault of its own, will do none of these things. Instead, it is a charming fortnight, a quirk of the sporting calendar that throws up a few genuine stellar names and a lot of delighted makeweights.
It provides pride and recognition for a great city that is all too often overlooked in the national debate. It is, and will probably remain, the Quite Good Games. And while that may not make the nattiest promotional slogan, in a world polarised to extremes, being the Quite Good Games should be quite good enough.

Aviation safety crosses national borders. Taiwan is an indispensable part of global aviation responsible for managing large numbers of aircraft in the Taipei Flight Information Region (Taipei FIR).
It wants to participate in the meetings, mechanisms, and activities of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in a professional and constructive manner.
As a member of the international community, Taiwan shares in the responsibility of safeguarding regional and global aviation safety and is committed to contributing to the development of global aviation and safety standards.
In September 2013, the director general of Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) was invited for the first time by the president of the ICAO Council to participate in the ICAO Assembly. Taiwan's participation was widely welcomed and seen as consistent with the ICAO's goal of a seamless network for aviation safety.
If Taiwan participates in ICAO meetings, activities, and mechanisms such as the Assembly, it can obtain information on and respond to any major changes in international civil aviation policies and systems in a timely manner.
The Taipei FIR covers 180,000 square nautical miles and borders four other FIRs: Fukuoka, Manila, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. It is located off mainland China's eastern seaboard and between Japan and the Philippines.
In 2015, the Taipei FIR provided services to nearly 1.53 million controlled flights carrying 58 million travelers entering, leaving, or transiting through Taiwan.
The CAA is the sole managing authority for the Taipei FIR. But it has no direct access to the ICAO for the past 40 years, and has only indirectly obtained incomplete information on ICAO regulations and standards related to safety, management, security, and environmental protection.
Taiwan has been forced to use various channels to keep up with the development of these regulations and standards and overcome the difficulties of a lack of transparency, so as to maintain adequate safety levels and service standards in the Taipei FIR.
The important and closely related issues were discussed at the 39th Assembly in 2016-including safety, navigation services, security, environmental protection, and economic matters-require close cooperation among countries.
This demonstrates the need for Taiwan to attend each Assembly on a regular basis, enabling it to keep up to date with important matters and assist each Assembly in ensuring the safe, secure, and sustainable development of international civil aviation.
Taiwan occupies a critical geographical location and handles large cargo and passenger volumes. Taiwan's participation in the ICAO Assembly would help realize the regional one sky concept, as well as the ICAO goal of a seamless sky.
This would benefit the aviation industry in the Asia-Pacific region and the world, and serve the interests of all parties.
St. Kitts and Nevis takes a firm stance in supporting Taiwan's participation in the ICAO.
Ms. Lorna Hunkins, special advisor to Hon. Mark Brantley, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke for Taiwan at the 39th ICAO Assembly on 4th October, 2016.

And are ultimately destroying it
In every era, there are certain people and institutions that are held in the highest public regard as they embody the prevailing values of society. Not that long ago, Albert Einstein was a major public figure and was widely revered. Can you name a scientist that commands a similar presence today?
Today, some of the most celebrated individuals and institutions are ensconced within the financial industry; in banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms. Which is odd because none of these firms or individuals actually make anything, which society might point to as additive to our living standards. Instead, these financial magicians harvest value from the rest of society that has to work hard to produce real things of real value.
While the work they do is quite sophisticated and takes a lot of skill, very few of these firms direct capital to new efforts, new products, and new innovations. Instead they either trade in the secondary markets for equities, bonds, derivatives, and the like, which perform the 'service' of moving paper from one location to another while generating 'profits.' Or, in the case of banks, they create money out of thin air and lend it out – at interest of course.

Disclaimer: Nope.
Author's Note: Uhm... I was supposed to have finished this story last year. ._." But I never really thought about it...For those of you who actually read it, I'm terribly sorry.
Note: This is a very confusing chapter. Be warned. This is the first thing I've written for at least a month and a half. I apologize in advance.
Moments Chapter Three
Catharsis Skies
By the time they were twelve, it was already too late.
Kyo Sohma stood at the window, small face pressed against the crystal pane. The sky was broken glass, each streak of rain a new crack on its surface.
And yet, somehow, it was him that felt shattered.
Why, you ask?
His dilema, like most things, starts with words.
It's the last one that hurts. He flinches, and his fingers dig like furious worms into the earth. Every part of him fluctuates, radiating anger and fear in short, sharp spurts.
Hard leather digs at his neck; his face moves with the direction of the foot, and his cheek slaps against the cold, wet ground. Mud and blood intermingle on his lips.
"Hey, kitty kitty," comes a snicker, and he recognizes it as Oro Sohma, a big teen of sixteen. "Say sorry and I'll let you up. Whaddya say, kitty? Huh?"
Kyo opens his mouth to release a string of curses, but the only thing that trickles from his lips is mud.
"Lookit that, Oro! He's shaking! The little pussy's shaking!"
It was true. He is shaking. He is scared. He bites his lip, pushing his face further into the ground to hide the involuntary flow of tears.
He was scared.
So, so scared.
"Fuck off." he forces out. Cringing slightly, he brings his fingers up, worming them under the Oro's heel to push the shoe off his neck. Getting to his feet takes him longer than he would have liked, but he manages.
The boys, now a small circle of bad intentions, howl mockingly. "You hear that, Oro?" they snicker. "He thinks he's tough! He thinks he's going to wipe the floor with you!"
Their words are all the incentive Oro needs.
It was a exquisitely planned jab to the stomach that sends Kyo sprawling first. Then Oro has him by his hair, white fingers tearing at red strands like blood on milk, and he slams him down, nose colliding with the dirt, only to be brought back up for a swift knee to the rib cage.
"He's out," Oro smirks, wiping mud from his cheeks. "He's not getting up."
But he does. With a grunt, and then a snarl, Kyo Sohma sways onto his feet a changed man.
Gone now were the tears.
His left eye is shut and swelling by the second, his nose leaks crimson, and his fists tremble like a new born lamb.
The boys laugh again, but this time it is subdued, less certain. "What was that, Oro?" they tease, now poking at the incredulous teen. "You can't even beat a little kid? A brat? A pussy?"
The vein in Oro's forehead bulges, and the ice of his blue eyes hardens as he charges.
This time, when he swings, he was going to make sure Kyo stayed there.
His fist swings over his target in botched shot, but it was perfect for Kyo. Bringing his arms up he wraps them around Oro's elbow and jerks downwards, smashing the elbow against his knobby knee, a solid hit. Oro flinches back, and Kyo briefly entertains the idea that the teen might retreat.
A spark wgoes off in his brain as a fist clips his chin, sending him reeling. He barely has time for a ragged breath before the fists were upon him, smashing him again and again in his eyes, stomach, mouth; anywhere they could land.
The spectrum of pain was astounding.
This time the boys were quiet. Waiting. Watching. Daring him to get up.
And what did he do?
Did he lay there and cry, like he wanted to?
Did he go still, like they expected?
Of course he didn't.
Because Kyo Sohma is a soul that lives to defy.
Biting his tongue, tasting the rusty, black, earthy taste of blood in his mouth.
Hearing the blood pounding in his ears.
Kyo stands.
And then they are angry. Snarling, gnashing their teeth together they glared down at him, this boy who would not stay down.
"What's going on here?"
Like a pendulum, their heads swung, even Kyo straining to look.
Red clashes with purple.
His heart stops.
"Oh, it's just Yuki," Oro exhales, relief spreading along his features. "Hey, you wanna help us out here?" He jabs his thumb at a wide-eyed Kyo. " He won't stay down. "
The group hoots in agreement, eager to see blood. The tall boy steps forward, and Kyo is struck with how undeniably beautiful he has become.
His face has lengthened out to match the wideness of his eyes, and melted silver sheen of his hair has become softer, more dignified. He's tall; very, very tall, with long, graceful legs that Kyo can't even dream of having.
He's beautiful.
So, so beautiful.
And he loves him.
And although Kyo's body feels like it is full of fire, like it has been consumed by it, there isn't even an inkling of warmth in Yuki's eyes as the silver and lilac orbs settle on him.
And when he steps forward, there is still no warmth to him; only the frost of fear that seizes Kyo's heart.
And when he glances at Oro and nods slightly, he is devoid of all feeling.
And when that first punch, that first rod of contact is made, he feels only ice.
"Stay down. Please."
It is a whisper for him, but he does not hear it.
And then, he feels nothing at all.
By the time they were twelve, it was already too late.
Things have changed.
Where once there was warmth and laughter there is only hate and animosity between them.
Kyo would like to believe he doesn't love him anymore.
But he does. And he hates it. Because he's always taking the fall. He's always getting hurt. And he's sick of it.
But he loves him.
And he always will.
The youth turns, eyes slowly ungluing themselves from the glass.
Yuki stands in the doorway.
In his hands are flowers.
Somewhere distantly, there is the sound of breaking glass.
Kyo's heart hurts.
Gone from Yuki is the confidence from before. Now, standing before Kyo, he looks like a porcelain doll, fragile and in desperate need of a glass shelter.
Too bad you already broke my heart.
His legs are stiff, and awkward, but he progresses forward nonetheless. The flowers are produced robotically.
What Yuki wants to say: I'm sorry. I had to do it. Otherwise, they would have beaten you all day.
What comes out: "Next time, I won't be there to save your sorry ass."
Yuki speaks coldly, gaze indifferent.
And then?
Something in Kyo snaps.
"Who the hell," he says, "do you think you are?" His voice shakes, grabbing Yuki by the mouth. The anger is thick and dangerous and threatens to consume him, but he doesn't care. "I was getting beaten out there. Beaten like - like a dog. Like a mongrel. Like trash. And that's all you can say to me? After you helped them do it? 'I won't be there to save your ass next time'? Fuck you! I thought we were friends!"
I thought that, maybe, we could be more.
There is an apology, there, at the tip of Yuki's tongue. He can taste it: sorrow and salt on his tongue.
But he swallows it.
"You thought we were friends? Princes don't mingle with lepers. So why would I do the same with you? Cat."
It's a low-blow; he knows this. But his blood is pumping, and venom courses through his veins.
The pain is evident on Kyo's face.
"Get out," Kyo hisses. He clenches the flowers in his fists.
Yuki is only too happy to oblige.
Later, when the anger has faded from him, Kyo looks down at his clenched fists. Trickles of blood spatter his palms from where the thorned stems had dug into his skin. Looking up, he realizes the flowers are roses.
Twelve beautiful red roses wrapped in ribbon. Tied at the base is a card. It is blank, but he can still the scratches and futile erase marks and the faint, grey outline of two huge words.
I'm sorry.
That night, when he cries, it feels like the sky cries with him.
By the time they were twelve, it was already too late.
Kyo was madly, madly in love with him.
There is no going back.

Three Types of IT Providers
In the pursuit of increased productivity, businesses are expanding their use of new technologies at a rapid pace. Nowadays, staying on top of every IT process that requires regular support and maintenance is a full-time job in and of itself . Luckily, there are a number of different professional IT support services that can help–but how do you tell them apart?
When choosing the IT support service that is best suited to the needs of your business, it helps to know all of the available options. Below, we'll walk you through the three most common types of outsourced IT providers–break-fix, project oriented, and managed services–to get a better sense of what each one brings to the table.
1. Break-Fix IT Provider
Like the name implies, break-fix IT service providers are there to fix problems as they arise on an on-call basis. For the most part, these will be one-and-done services like repairing a broken server or removing a computer virus. One of the benefits of break-fix is that your company won't have to enter into an extended contract with an IT service provider. This is great for highly technical business owners who know exactly what services they need, but may not have the time to do the work themselves. From a customer's perspective, there are still quite a few instances where break-fix is the best option:
- A small franchise or agency of a larger organization, where the parent organization makes most decisions about technology but the local owner is still responsible for day to day operations; branched insurance agencies are a good example of this type of business.
- A startup business that needs to spend their money on their core business to grow.
- A business may want to outsource minor IT work to a break-fix service in order to keep their internal IT department from becoming bogged down with non-critical assignments.
The business model of break-fix IT has come under fire in recent years for its reactive approach to problem-solving. Because break-fix IT companies are only paid when something goes wrong, they have a vested interest in suggesting solutions that put more money into their pockets rather than what is best for the customer. For example, a break-fix IT specialist might be called in to remove a computer virus from an employee's laptop, whereupon they notice that all of the businesses' computers are running inadequate anti-virus software. Rather than tell the business owner about the underlying security risk, they decide to keep the information under their hats, ensuring a steady stream of future work.
2. Project-Oriented IT Provider
Even companies with minimal IT needs will from time to time have a decent sized technology project that requires outside help. Project-oriented IT providers specialize in one-time services like setting up a new network, migrating old software solutions to new cloud-based solutions, or switching from a traditional phone service to a VoIP system.
Project-oriented IT providers and break-fix IT providers are similar in that they both focus on handling one specific project, rather than providing ongoing IT support. However, the scope of the projects that project-oriented IT services perform are generally much larger than those of break-fix companies.
Even if your business already has an in-house IT department, recruiting a project-oriented IT service is a great way to make sure that you aren't spreading your resources too thin. Your current IT staff is probably capable of setting up a new network, but seeking outside help can expedite the process and ensures that your IT employees can stay on top of day-to-day operations. Hiring a project-oriented IT service is also a great opportunity to bring in a team that has an area of expertise that you don't have internally.
3. Managed Service IT Provider
Managed service providers (MSPs), unlike both break-fix and project-oriented IT providers, will manage and monitor a business' IT infrastructure for a predetermined monthly fee. These companies perform regular server maintenance, manage network security, update business software, monitor system performance, provide support desk services, as well as any other tasks necessary to keep your business running smoothly. In many cases these providers are going to include software such as anti-virus, anti-malware, spam filtering, desktop remote control software, and other tools in their monthly price. Most MSPs are also going to give you a response time guarantee, which you won't get from a break-fix or project based company.
Now, not all MSPs are alike. There are three main kinds of managed service providers, with each playing a specific role dependent on a company's size and technology needs. In Part II of this series, we'll be taking a closer look at the different MSPs to see what sets them apart, and which one is best suited for your company's needs.
Which one is best for you?
If you're a fresh start up company, funds are limited and you're likely running in the red. A break-fix solution mixed with projects where necessary is probably your best bet to limit costs as much as possible. If you're a larger organization with an existing IT team, project based providers can be an excellent way to bring in expertise on a specific issue or upgrade path when needed. For all other companies struggling with their internal IT or lacking proper technology management outright, a managed service provider can be a highly cost effective alternative – especially those offering project based services on-top of their monthly support. No matter which one you choose, we strongly suggest that you select a provider who isn't trying to juggle break-fix services with the responsibility of being your companies IT department; they truly are two different business models entirely.

I own a driving school (10 vehicles) and a limousine service (6 vehicles) along with 3 family vehicles... these guys can fix just about anything... they are fast, friendly and very accommodating and when I bring a limo in for service they don't disturb the drunks in the back and they also keep their hands off of the women too... Paul (the father) is a mechanical genious... he teaches and speaks around the county as well as having a few patents on injection cleaning and anaylzing equipment... nothing like it on the market... without these guys my life would be hell on wheels, but with them I have never had a down day in 30 years...

After moving here, my car suddenly developed a problem. A local gas station mechanic told me I needed a new something-or-other (transmission, I think) and it would cost hundreds of dollars. I refused to have him do it and asked a friend for the name of their mechanic. They told me to take it to Paul. I left the car after telling Paul that it needed a new whatever, fully expecting to pay the hefty price which had been quoted by the first mechanic. When I picked it up later the same day, Paul informed me that the problem was a small valve which cost $4.00! I knew then I had found an honest mechanic. My family and I have been taking our cars to him and now his son, Brad, for over 20 years.

I have taken a variety of cars that I have owned to this shop while I lived in the area. I now live in an RV and travel the country. If I need work done on my truck, a Ford F-350 diesel, but can wait until I am in the area, I do. I have recommended this shop to all of my friends and my family. My wife feels very comfortable when she had a car to bring here. She felt that she was treated well and the car was properly repaired.

Everyone at Auto Clinic is absolutely wonderful, and I never want to take my cars anywhere else. With other mechanics, I have felt very taken advantage of, especially as a woman who knows very little about cars. Brad and his staff at Auto Clinic are always honest, respectful, helpful, accomodating, and skilled, and I always feel that I can trust them completely. They always do a great job with my car, and what they charge is always very reasonable (and much lower than most other mechanics). All the men and women that I know that go to Auto Clinic can't say enough positive things about them. I highly recommend them to everyone I know!!

They wish they'd simply wrapped it before they tapped it.
You can't say they didn't warn them. After Measure B's condom mandate was passed last year, it was pretty evident that policymakers in California were going after the porn industry, but more specifically, all of the pornmakers that were filming anal and vaginal sex scenes without their important latex costars.
San Franciscan BDSM production company, Kink.com, was fined almost $80K earlier this week for their super lax condom use policy on porn sets. Charged by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation with unsafe work conditions, officials have stated that their "use them if you want to" policy puts performers at a dangerous risk for contracting STDs and AIDS.
Mike Stabile, a spokesperson for Kink, has stated they are being targeted by a group that is against the porn industry in general. This isn't just a buttoned-up law to get condoms on more shlongs, but a "crusade on morality," he claims. But those on the side of the jimmy hat witch-hunt also have some pretty solid reasons to be so concerned. Both Cameron Bay and Rod Daily, Kink performers, tested positive for HIV in 2013, briefly halting the porn industry. If porn stars opted out of condom use on the set of Kink because their employer allowed that type of apathy, it's hard for the employer to deny the link between disease and practices.
This isn't the first time Kink's more questionable business practices have raised an eyebrow. Just last year, CEO Peter Acworth was arrested for cocaine possession during a firearms search of the 200,000 square foot Armory where Kink videos are filmed. Acworth plans to appeal the fine of $78,000, and he very well might avoid footing the enormous bill. After all, Measure B's mandate only covers L.A. County, and Kink's dungeons reside in the cool, free-lovin' Mediterrean climate of golden San Francisco.

Unanswered: Views and stored procs.
Is there any performance loss by setting up a view and creating a stored procedure to return a recordset from a view versus setting up the stored procedure to return the recordset from the tables directly?
What way should I do this?

You could loose a few milliseconds the first time the procedure is loaded into the procedure cache ifyou use the view, but the difference is too small to care about, and probably too small to measure.
Using views can make an application much simpler to understand, particularly if there are a lot of complex things going on in the SQL. I would recommend using views, as long as you don't go nuts with them. In other words, don't build a view as a SELECT * FROM myTable unless that somehow might buy you something down the road, but feel free to take that fourteen table join on forty columns and make that puppy into a view pronto!

Thanks for your reply Pat. The reason I asked is because I thought I read somewhere that a view is "compiled" each and everytime it is executed. This seems to be the equivalent of running a query where each time the query is run, it is first compiled then put into action.
The whole purpose of a stored procedure, is that the procedure is compiled once, when it is first executed, hence better performance is the outcome compared to sending a "SELECT ...." SQL statement.
So, it seems that using views would be a performance loss comparable to sending a SQL statement rather then using a stored proc.
Do I make any sense?

Fencing 101
My neighbor and I discussed the matter via e-mail and agreed that my contractor Brent should take a look and recommend how to proceed. Brent discovered that the fence posts on the neighbor's side were rotting away and the fence was in imminent danger of falling over on my garden, so his first recommendation was that we install some bracing to keep it from doing so. Rather than installing a completely new fence, we've determined that we can dig new holes near the old posts and install new posts, then attach the fence to those.
The only plant casualty has been the neighbor's redtip photinias, which have already been cut down to stubs so the fencing crew can work around them. The Head Gardener and I will leave it our readers to decide how we feel about that.

The fencing itself looks like it is in pretty good shape. Too bad the posts did not hold up as well. Lucky for you and your garden that the problem was on your neighbour's side!

Ha, I think I know how you feel about the bushes AND the fence! My fence is doing the same thing!! Trying to find someone to fix it has been a whole new slog.

I was exceedingly glad that they didn't need to do much of anything on my side! They took down the braces and that was that.

Vincent leading way in bullpen's turnaround
OAKLAND -- After a rough start to the season, the Mariners' bullpen has solidified itself over the past 10 games and veteran right-hander Nick Vincent has played a big role in that improvement.
The 30-year-old right-hander is one of manager Scott Servais' primary late-inning options, but he gave up six hits and three runs with one walk and one strikeout in 3 2/3 innings over his first three outings in Houston and Anaheim.
But in four appearances since, Vincent hasn't allowed a hit or walk in 4 1/3 perfect innings, while striking out eight.
"Nick is throwing the ball really well," Servais said prior to Thursday night's series opener with the A's. "He's probably our most reliable guy down there right now and that's what we saw last year for long stretches. He's making pitches, expanding the strike zone."
Vincent said he fell into a predictable pattern early, but is mixing things up better now and getting back to trusting a fastball this is difficult for hitters to pick up.
"Early I was just throwing fastballs away and cutters away and hitters were just sitting away," he said. "Now I'm using both sides of the plate and trusting the catchers. We're getting on the same page better each day."
Vincent doesn't throw particularly hard, with a fastball that sits in the 89-90 mph range. But his swing-and-miss production has always been impressive with a career 9.66 strikeouts-per-nine innings rate. He posted a 9.70 figure last year and is at 10.13 in the early going this season.
"He lives on the edges of the plate and can expand the strike zone when he needs to," Servais said. "He's deceptive. The hitters do not pick up the ball well."
Vincent said some pitchers, like former teammate Mike Montgomery, have delved into improving the spin rate on their pitches to heighten the effectiveness. Vincent said he just needs to focus on his mechanics.
Why hitters have a hard time picking up his pitches is a trend he's not trying to overanalyze.
"It has to be something I do with my glove hiding the ball and not showing it too early or something," he said. "Whatever it is, I just want to keep doing it."
Worth noting
• Shortstop Jean Segura is reporting to Double-A Arkansas for a rehab assignment as he recovers from a strained right hamstring. Segura will play his first game at designated hitter on Friday. He will play several games at Arkansas before likely rejoining the Mariners on Tuesday in Detroit.

In starting the holiday during the Civil War, Lincoln sought not only to encourage gratitude but a humility to repent. The current civil strife over sexual wrongdoing will require similar penitence.
When he proclaimed the national holiday called Thanksgiving in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln did more than ask Americans to be grateful for God's blessings during a time of civil strife. He also asked them to express "humble penitence" for their "disobedience." The idea of confessing one's failings and regretting them is no longer part of Thanksgiving. Yet given the current civil strife over so many public figures being accused of sexual wrongdoing, perhaps humility and repentance should be on the menu this holiday.

The Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DLBA) has announced that their communications manager position will be taken on by new hire Hazel Quimpo, a Long Beach resident, who will manage traditional public relations tasks as well as develop the voice of the organization and continue the growth of its social media presence.
"Hazel's background in both traditional and digital media is a welcome addition to the DLBA team," said Kraig Kojian, president and CEO of the DLBA, in a statement. "Her proven experience will help keep both existing and new developments in Downtown Long Beach on the nation's radar."
A CSULB alumna, Quimpo brings her experience in events, PR, community management, and marketing to the DLBA. She has managed events and coordinated marketing at a local level for both the Museum of Latin American Art and the Long Beach Museum of Art. Following her time at the two museums, she launched the Orange County and Long Beach communities for Yelp, where she grew their newsletter to over 500,000 subscribers, according to the DLBA.
In 2012, Quimpo started her own business as an events and media consultant, where she met the CEO of Santa Monica-based tech startup, Sensay, and became their fourth employee. Under her management, the Sensay community grew from zero to over one million users before the company closed a $5 million round of funding, according to the DLBA.
"I am very passionate about the Long Beach community, and Downtown in particular, so joining the DLBA team is very exciting to me," stated Quimpo, who wants to focus her career on local endeavors. "Keeping all of the development and events in Downtown Long Beach front and center in the media is one of my main goals, as well as continuing to be the go-to source for the latest DTLB news."

Offshore-investing Mitt Romney has withheld nearly all of his tax records, as we now know. But it turns out that he may have to reveal some of his most intimate financial information after all, and the timing couldn't be worse.
This week, someone very knowledgeable about taxes—an anonymous tipper, who I can't name or I'd have to kill you—let me know about some sweeping legislation approved by President Obama in 2009. The complicated series of reforms were designed to catch tax evaders who hide money in overseas tax havens, but the only part that's relevant to our interests is IRS Form 8938.
Form 8938 will require Romney to detail all his money in overseas accounts, at the risk of criminal penalty, and could cause a lot of trouble for Romney's campaign this fall.
Romney promised to release his tax returns for 2011 as soon as they're done, and he's filed for an extension, which gives him until October 15, about three weeks before the election. In the words of my source, Romney's taxes must include Form 8938, which requires him to "list the maximum value of each of his non-US investments as part of his tax filings."
Previously, we've seen estimates of part of Romney's overseas fortune. But this form is more specific than what we've seen before. It requires taxpayers to include "any financial account maintained by a foreign financial institution" and "any stock or securities issued by someone that is not a US person, any interest in a foreign entity, and any financial instrument or contract with an issuer or counterparty that is not a US person."
For at least a week, Form 8938 will drive the news cycle as reporters pick through every cent Romney has invested in offshore tax havens. Basically, it's going to be a very bad week to be Mitt Romney.
This raises a bunch of questions: Why would Romney October Surprise himself like this? Did he not even know Form 8938 existed? Will he try to dump the returns in August, during the Olympics, when he believes nobody is paying attention?
Form 8938 turns Romney's impending tax returns into a very specific threat to his own campaign; the information could be potentially more damning than anything we've seen before.

Shirley B. - Shreveport LA, USA - May 9, 2009
"My son and two granddaughters live in Singapore. My son teaches school there. When he first went there, I sent a "have a great school year" basket. It has become a tradition to do this-over 10 years, now. The place where I usually go to send my son's annual ''have a great school year'' basket, told me they could not do it any more. I was frustrated, to say the least. I don't ''do'' computers-except what I HAVE to. But, I typed in-send a fruit basket to Singapore...this place is what I chose. I am SO glad I did. The communication was pleasant/professional, the basket was sent expediently, and it had all the things that were suggested. My son LOVED his ''have a great school year'' basket. I am extremely pleased with Giftbasketsoverseas, and shall use them again."
