The Source of Motivation and Determination
When a person persists at a task, we say that person has determination or motivation. But where does that determination come from? Some would say it comes from dedication, commitment, or sense of duty. But I believe that Core Desires are the sole source of both the determination and the motivation that are critical for success. If you are not pursuing a Core Desire, you won't be very motivated or dedicated. You won't pursue something relentlessly unless it is a Core Desire.
Once you learn to unleash the power of your Conquering Force by drilling down to the Core Desires in all areas of your life, you will find your life filled with more joy, satisfaction, and balance. Notice that I said learn. Tapping into your Conquering Force happens automatically once you learn to correctly identify your Core Desires.
Motivation from the outside (extrinsic) usually only scratches the surface. That's why it has little or no lasting power. But when you're driven from within (intrinsic) by a Core Desire, nothing can stop you.
When you know exactly what you want, the Conquering Force becomes available to you at full strength. All great accomplishments are the result of extraordinary determination and drive, both of which come from Core Desires.
You, too, can become an extraordinary person-achieving all your heart's desires-when you harness your Conquering Force. It even creates new talents and characteristics as needed. The Conquering Force engenders enthusiasm, determination, commitment, creativity, discipline, and drive, and it leads to great satisfaction and joy. Any person who is in the process of achieving a Core Desire is already an extraordinary person.
I'm often asked, "What motivates you?" My answer is simple- I'm motivated from within by my many Core Desires. I clearly recognize my Core Desires, and then I act upon them because doing so brings me great rewards and joy. My Core Desires are written on my heart, and what is written on the heart always comes to pass.
A man once told me, "I don't understand how I can be something that I'm not or do something I'm not comfortable doing. I'm not confident, I'm not dynamic-I'm just a low guy on the totem pole. I can't take advantage of opportunities that come my way. How can I make the kind of money I want and need when I can't even earn enough to pay all my bills every month? In the past, I've never earned more than thirty-two thousand a year, and I'm limited because I don't have a master's degree." His list of reasons why he couldn't be more successful or earn more money was never-ending.
I asked him why he was letting his past determine his future. He couldn't answer, so I continued by talking about Core Desires and the Conquering Force. But he confessed that he had no hope and no chance because all the good opportunities had already passed him by. He felt his life was devoid of all happiness and joy.
Many people think opportunity only knocks once; others believe it knocks many times. But I say that opportunity doesn't knock at all. You must knock. When you are driven by a Core Desire, your Conquering Force won't allow you to knock lightly or timidly. You're anxious to get that door open because you want what's behind it, so you knock hard- with force and determination-until the door opens. You might even break the door down or pick the lock-you'll do whatever it takes to create the opportunity.

Celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary here last year, and loved it so much, we came back to celebrate our 6th! Booking the trip was a breeze, as the owner is extremely friendly and accomodating. The house is truly starting to feel like our home-away-from-home (if only!!!!). It is absolutely breathtaking, inside and out. The high ceilings and spacious rooms give the home an open, comfortable feel. My expecting wife got to pamper herself, relaxing in the jetted tub and spending long hours in the hot tub. The private beach access made sure our two toddlers could access the beach safely and conveniently. We even spent a few romantic moments while the kids were sleeping watching the sun rise over the ocean and set over the sound on the two top floor decks. Two trips in two years, and we cannot wait to make it three in a row...and four...and five...!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My family and I recently rented this beautiful property in North Topsail Beach. The home is as impressive as the photos look! The owners have certainly taken the time to make this property a comfortable rental - nice selection in terms of dishes in the kitchen, massive library of books, etc - and were also great to work with. I contacted them a number of times regarding recommendations for our stay and received prompt communication back with helpful information. I would recommend this destination to others and I am sure we will consider returning as a family in the future.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

We would recommend this beautiful, well-appointed beach home situated on a quiet, uncrowded beach to anyone seeking rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation from the hurried pace of everyday life. Our party of four adults and two children recently spent a perfect week enjoying a wonderfully relaxing vacation spent watching the dolphins play every morning, swimming in the gentle ocean waves, wandering the blissfully quiet beach in search of shell treasures, spending evenings engaged in fun family competition with the myriad of games provided, and being lulled to sleep at night by the sound of the ocean breeze. It was paradise every minute we spent there and we all remarked how this wonderful beach house felt like home from the first day. The owner is great to work with, offering recommendations for local restaurants and activties and is extremely accomodating and responsive to requests. We've spent many summers at many beaches, but none will ever match this one. We are already anticipating and planning our return trip!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Our beautiful Topsail home was built by my brother and I and our lovely wives so we could continue our family vacation tradition and build lasting memories in this pristine location. We started our vacation tradition many years ago when our children were very young. We were lucky enough to have 5 children between the two of us. The cousins range in age from 21 to 16. The kids have been best buddies since birth and can't wait to spend summer vacations together in Topsail After spending many summer vacations in the Outer Banks; we happened upon North Topsail Island and never looked back. We have spent many years in this house watching our children grow, enjoy each other's company and create lasting memories. We also have had the privilege of bringing the grandparents to the house during our vacations. Our home truly is multi-generational. We spend our time watching the dolphins swim by, lounging on the big front porch, soaking in the hot tub, long walks and runs on the beach in the morning, lots of book reading, and poker and dominoes in the evening. We also spend our Thanksgiving vacation here together, the traditional turkey dinner is even better tasting while looking at the ocean! We all love to cook and enjoy creating new recipes, grilling and eating the fresh local shrimp. This home has been a refuge for our family. We are proud of the home and the memories we have created.

NP Rank:
Archive.org Posts 3,000 Hours of 9/11 Coverage
As the US gears up to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the September 11 attacks, archive.org has posted over 3,000 hours of 9/11 television coverage.
The footage covers September 11-17, including non-English-speaking channels. This means that, yes, you can see footage of the falling man, which originally aired on Telemundo in New York.
You can also read several analyses of both the footage and the public's reaction to the event: for many Americans, 9/11 was a television event, unless you either lived in New York, knew someone who did, or knew someone aboard one of the four hijacked planes. The event was experienced mainly within the confines of a TV screen for anyone not in the areas where the planes crashed, though the emotions stirred up were far more immediate: emotions which gave us the Patriot Act, full-body scans, and two wars in the Middle East.
That's the value of this archive: to see again what we saw then, both in the context of rival broadcasts and the time that has passed.
9/11 Conspiracy Theories
This is also the time of year when conspiracy theorists re-emerge, and the 10th anniversary of 9/11 will be no exception.
Loose Change is perhaps the most famous 9/11 conspiracy film, though it has been debunked many times over.

The governors may have played a political role in the selection of senators, but the Constitution clearly gave the selection process to the state legislatures. I know it would make me feel really patriotic to have Campfield select my U. S. Senator.
You're right. It's the legislature, not the governor. I was quoting from memory - sorry.

Review: Motorola Droid 2
Touch sensitivity on the Motorola Droid 2 was fine, but could have been much better. The phone relies on touch sensitive buttons beneath the screen, and I did not like the choice. I have never used touch sensitive buttons that I felt were better than the real thing. On the Droid 2, they were slow to react, and often didn't feel my taps unless I moved my finger around a bit to find the right spot. I've felt worse (some Samsung Galaxy S phones, for instance), but hardware keys would be a much better choice.
The screen itself is fine, but not the most sensitive touchscreen I've used. Flicking between screens occasionally has no effect whatsoever, and sometimes the screen merely lagged behind my swiping. When you swipe from one home screen to the next, dots at the bottom of the screen tell you at which panel you're looking. I found these to be jerky and tough to use effectively. Again, I wonder if Motorola's flash and dazzle has actually hurt performance, now with touch sensitivity in addition to battery life.

Fitzgerald's stories of Pat Hobby were originally published in Esquire Magazine, and are some of his last published works. They are drawn from his own experiences as a writer for the big studios in Hollywood's Golden Age. The Audio is a little on the poor side so no adjustment necessary.

Although they are traditional fall-decorating fodder, these gourds manage to look surprisingly fresh -- more evocative of modernist ceramics than of paper pilgrim-hat place cards (not that there's anything wrong with those). Mixing painted bowls made from dried gourds with a pair of whole crook necks gives the autumnal standbys a life beyond the Thanksgiving table.

Eight held in child rape probe
Related Articles
Published: 06 March 2013
The group, including five men aged 23, two aged 24 and one 21-year-old, were held after officers swooped at around 5am on Wednesday and police have urged any more potential victims to come forward.
In total, nine addresses in Newham, Redbridge and Havering in east London and one in Hertfordshire were raided.
Detectives are investigating claims that the girl fell prey to "exploitative" behaviour between May and November last year, when she was allegedly groomed and raped.
Detective Chief Inspector Adam Lowe said: "These arrests are part of an investigation into rape and serious sexual assault carried out by a group of men in Newham and the wider east London area. Our inquiries continue.
"I would urge anyone who has been a victim of this type of offence or who believes they have any information to please contact police on 020 8217 6531, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Patterson Companies Inc.'s (PDCO - Analyst Report) fourth-quarter fiscal 2013 earnings per share (EPS) of 62 cents per share (up 6.9% year over year) was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. In the reported quarter, profit grew 2.4% year over year to $63.6 million.
For fiscal 2013, EPS of $2.03 was also in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate and exceeded the year-ago EPS by 5.7%. Profit edged down 1.2% year over year to $210.3 million, which included a $6.1 million increase in interest expense from fiscal 2012.
Revenue for the fourth quarter grew 3.1% year over year to $964.9 million, but was lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $967 million. For the fiscal year, revenues increased 3% year over year to $3,637 million, slightly missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,639 million.
Segment Analysis
Revenues from the core Patterson Dental climbed an impressive 6.4% year over year to $636.9 million, led by strong sales of equipment and software. Within Patterson Dental, sales of consumable and printed products grew 2.4% to $339 million in the quarter.
Sales from the equipment and software offerings jumped 13.6% to $228.6 million, on the back of strong growth across all categories. Other services and products grew 4.2% year over year to $69.3 million.
Revenues from Patterson Veterinary segment inched down 1.5% to $204.4 million. Barring the change in a distribution agreement related to nutritional offerings in 2012, sales increased by roughly 2% in the quarter.
Revenues from Patterson Medical segment dropped 4.9% year over year to $123.6 million due to soft sales in the overseas market. The division continues to be adversely impacted by the uncertainties related to the global healthcare economy. Despite such uncertainties, the segment is geared to grow in the long-term on the back of its advanced products portfolio as well as utilize the underlying favorable demographics.
Gross margin was 33.6% in the fourth quarter, almost in line with the 33.5% in the prior-year quarter. Operating margin declined to 10.8% from 11.0%.
Balance Sheet and Other
Patterson exited the fourth quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $505.2 million, up 6.9%, sequentially. Long-term debt remained flat at $725 million.
In fiscal 2013, Patterson repurchased roughly 5.2 million shares under its share buyback program. In addition, the company announced a share repurchase program in Mar 2013 to buyback up to 25 million shares. About 24.4 million shares are still available for repurchase before the authorization expires in 2018.
Patterson also increased its quarterly dividend by 14% to 16 cents a share from 14 cents in the fourth quarter. This lifted the annual dividend to 64 cents per share.
The company divulged its EPS guidance in the range of $2.10–$2.20 per share for fiscal 2014, assuming stability across external as well as internal environment. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for EPS for fiscal 2014 is pegged at $2.24.
Management has undertaken an initiative to transform its information systems and will be investing about $55 to $65 million over the next 5 years. Half of the amount will be capitalized and amortized, while about $10 million will be used for this project in fiscal 2014.
Our View
We remain on the sidelines regarding Patterson's in-line fourth quarter results. Except the core Dental business, all other segments underperformed. The Dental business is poised to grow as dentistry shifts to a digital platform.
The Veterinary business failed to impress due to major internal issues which dampened top-line growth. However, the segment is geared to grow in fiscal 2014 as the demand for veterinary care is on the rise in the U.S.
The guidance provided by the company also appears to be bleak given the difficult macroeconomic condition in the global dental market. Management has assumed that the North American dental market will remain stable throughout fiscal 2014. We believe that a lot remains to be done by Patterson in the near-term to boost results as well as investor confidence.
The company carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Medical/Dental Supplies companies worth a look are Luxottica Group SpA (LUX - Snapshot Report), Conmed (CNMD - Analyst Report) and Becton, Dickinson and Company (BDX - Analyst Report). The former carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), while the other 2 stocks carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Don Imus, below, and Walter Cronkite were among the 32 members elected to the inaugural class of the New York State Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame on Thursday night. The Gambling family, whose roots in New York radio date to 1925, was honored with three inductions: John B., John A. and John R.

October 01, 2004, FridayIn a legal filing, Walter Cronkite, the former CBS news anchor, said a Florida television production company misled him and tarnished his reputation when it persuaded him to appear in videos that promoted prescription drugs and other products. The production company, WJMK, which is based in Boca Raton, Fla., filed suit against Mr. Cronkite in September after he tried to end a contract he had signed to appear as the host of a series of videos, including some called American Medical Review.
November 11, 2003, TuesdayWhile alternative energy is a serious subject, it is always nice to have a reporter who at least has some sense of humor. I had given Elinor Burkett (June15) too much credit when I made what I thought was a jocular remark about being an old man. I should have pointed out that I tore my Achilles' tendon playing tennis at 85 and expect to be back on the court later this summer. Old man indeed! Walter Cronkite New York
July 13, 2003, SundayAs someone who grew up in western Massachusetts, my blood boiled when I read Walter Cronkite's suggestion that rather than build a wind farm in his backwater, ''inland New England would substitute just as well.'' The article reflects his discomfort with his Nimby position, and he pleads, ''Be kind to an old man.'' I am neither for nor against the Cape wind farm, but I am incensed by someone of Cronkite's prominence who thinks that ''inland'' would substitute ''just as well.'' Arthur Clark...
June 29, 2003, SundayIt's a sad day when Walter Cronkite is reduced to pleading kindness to an old man as his last and best argument against a proposed wind farm in Nantucket Sound. This is a case of a bunch of rich environmental poseurs who have been put in the very uncomfortable position of having a chance to put their beliefs where their mouths are, and who are failing miserably. Alexandra Coe Minneapolis
June 29, 2003, SundayAn obituary of the television news anchor David Brinkley last Friday misidentified the CBS newsman whose broadcast was overtaken in the ratings by NBC's ''Huntley-Brinkley Report'' in the late 1950's. He was Douglas Edwards, not Walter Cronkite.

Americana Resort and Waves Indoor Waterpark - Niagara Falls, ON
One-Night Stay for Two Adults and Up to Four Kids with Dining and Arcade Credits and Up to 4 Water Park Passes. Combine Up to Five Nights.
Family-Friendly Resort with Indoor Water Park Minutes from Niagara Falls
Retractable roofs are most commonly found on sports stadiums, but the designers of Americana Resort and Waves Indoor Waterpark have used the technology to perfect the water-park experience. At the onsite Waves Indoor Waterpark, the retractable roof lets in the sun on warmer days and keeps the park at a pleasant 84 degrees in the winter. The water park has thrilling three-story tube and body slides, gushing fountains, and heated whirlpools scattered throughout the 25,000-square-foot facility that you can enjoy year-round. When the weather's nice, you can also make a trip to the spectacular Horseshoe Falls, just a 10-minute drive away.
You can use your C$10 dinner credit at the onsite Jack Tanner's. They serve classic fare with some specialties, including the Niagara burger, which has canadian bacon, cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, and crispy fried onions. Enjoy a nice, casual dinner along with TVs attached to every booth, and an outdoor patio is lined with potted flowers.
Superior rooms feature two queen beds, providing enough space to accommodate a family of four or a group of traveling All in the Family reenactors.
Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks
At Niagara Falls—considered by many to be one of the world's seven natural wonders—water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, with segments located in both New York and Ontario, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of Niagara Falls' photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.
The iconic Maid of the Mist has ferried raincoat-clad passengers around the base of the falls since 1846. The tours run from April through October, depending on the river's ice conditions. Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps away from the cascading water.
A 10-minute walk from the falls, you'll see the neon glow of the Clifton Hill neighborhood. Its Fallsview Boulevard has plenty of Vegas-style kitsch, including glitzy casinos, indoor water parks, restaurants, and soggy Elvis impersonators.

The Groupon Guide to: Harebrained Schemes
These days it seems like everyone has some kind of harebrained get-rich-quick scheme. Use this handy guide to sort out whether a scheme is destined for failure or straight for the bank:
Scheme: Your neighbor Robert wants you to open a flower shop with him.
Verdict: Harebrained. Robert inherited the flower shop from his father, but in order to keep the shop's best customer, Mrs. Winifred Downing, you'll have to pretend that Robert's father is still alive and court Mrs. Downing in his guise.
Scheme: Your boyfriend, Calvin, wants to get married.
Verdict: Harebrained. Calvin will use the marriage as a contract to bind you together both financially and spiritually. Once you've signed the paperwork, Calvin can move into your house and even use your toilet.
Scheme: Your older cousin, Harrison, wants to build an airplane in the front yard and charge local children to take rides in it.
Verdict: Legitimate. This is a business opportunity you won't want to pass up, just to see every other family in the neighborhood raking in money with their front-yard aeronautics companies. Sign over all of your bank accounts and government bonds to Harrison as soon as possible.

You have an opinion and it deserves to be heard. If you don't express it, you could be pigeonholing your career. Become a workplace contributor by speaking up in office meetings. Here's how to do it with poise:
- Sit in a different seat.
Offices may hold meetings in the same format and at the same time every week. This does not mean you must fall into the routine of taking the same seat. Just as taking a different role on a project will help you see a different perspective, so will taking a different seat give you new insight to solving a problem. Isn't this what you need to affect change?
- When you agree with someone's opinion, take it a step further by adding your own twist.
It can be stressful to be the first person to speak up. The downfall of not speaking up is an opportunity lost. Chances are that great idea you failed to vocalize will roll off the tongue of someone else. If this happens to you, agree with the input AND sprinkle on more perspective of your own.
- Let your head thoughts become table thoughts. This may lead to a brainstorming session.
Many of us feel we must wait until our thoughts are crystal clear and perfect before we can say them. This is not true. Transferring thoughts out of your head and onto the table where others can hear may lead to a productive brainstorming session. It will feel good to be the catalyst of that!
- Challenge someone else's opinion, gracefully.
This is an area where most of us may feel threatened. Remember you were hired for the talents you bring to the organization. State your deviation while being clear and concise. Only you will know if your organization can handle what you have to say.
- Be ready to support any idea you put forth.
Always be prepared to take further action on your ideas. How many times have you seen a co-worker suggest a great idea and look surprised when she is placed in charge of it? Don't be that person. Suggesting ideas comes with great responsibility.
Don't pigeonhole your career by not speaking up at meetings. Own your ideas, voice them, and don't be afraid to refine them once they are out of your head. After all, you are a part of the organization.
Your alternative is to remain silent, but no one will hear you.

Is the purpose of testing to verify that the software works or is it to try to break it?
0This question is asked many often. However there is no one answer. Reading a lot of reactions – in one of the Linkedin community groups – I noticed that the answer is strongly related to the (test) experience of the responder. A number of the reactions endorse this question and of course other people have another opinion. (more…)
Automatic testing Oracle Service Bus using Hudson, maven and SoapUI
Improve your unit-tests with jMock2
Writing unit-tests should be part of your development process whether you write them before or after the actual coding I leave that up to you. On of the pitfalls of writing unit tests is that the units become to big.
The unit your are testing, a method in most cases probably uses some other beans or services to do its job. In your unit test you don't want to test those other beans but just your method. Because you use decoupling you can easily override the interfaces of the services in your test case and inject those services in your instance you are testing. This is an example of a mock object.
This is maybe good for one or two mock objects but it gets tricky. Who test the mock objects? You will soon get a lot of logic in the mock objects. To reuse them they need to be extracted from the unit test. You don't have checks if the mock objects are really called. There are several frameworks that will do this mocking for you. You supply them the interface and they will give you an implementation which can be injected into the bean thats being tested. (more…)
Automated SOAP testing with maven and the SoapUI plugin
Currently there are few tools that can support testing SOAP interfaces. Both Jmeter and SoapUI are suited for testing soap interfaces. SoapUI is explicitly created for testing SOAP interfaces and Jmeter has a SOAP support since version 2.3.x. I have worked with both tools and I prefer SoapUI. It has an intuitive user interface and is flexible. (Please also have a look at the blog of Jeroen)
You can run SoapUI stand alone but I prefer to integrate these kinds of tools with an automated process. Below you will find instructions for running SoapUI as a part of a maven build. This makes it possible to run your automated SOAP tests in Maven with a build process like Hudson. Combined with automatic deployment it is possible to support an agile software development process that supports frequent delivery of versions and continuous testing.
Maven supports SoapUI with the Maven SoapUI plugin. (more…)
