Do you ever get in a mode when you just need a bit of inspiration, some motivation, and a little bit of pick-me-up?
I know I do…
Sometimes when that happens I go to my trusty bookmarks and rewatch a few videos I have saved. I even start my day this way when I'm just not feeling my best creative, inspired self. I also have a lot of inspiring quotes/stories I may review but there's something about video that really drives home a point, stirs up the soul and gets the juices flowing!
There are 3 in particular that I watch over and over again as they put me in a productive, motivated, determined mode and I hope they do the same for you. So here they are – my top 3 awesomely inspiring videos – and they're short!
Inspiring Video #3
If you've never heard of Nick Vujicic, you need to! This is a guy who was born with no legs and no arms but leads a life of NO LIMITS and he's hilarious to boot!!
He shares his perspective on life, how to overcome challenges, and motivates people all over the world to live a happy life regardless of the obstacles life throws at you.
Never Give Up
Video Link: http://youtu.be/AW579icDRSA (4:11 mins)
Inspiring Video #2
"Success is getting up one more time than you've been knocked down."
You've heard this before I'm sure but if there's anything I know, it's that repetition of truisms like this are good for everybody. I think it only benefits us to hear this message repeatedly to have it really ingrained in our minds.
I like this video too because at the end, it feels as if Gary is talking directly to me!
How to win in life!
Video link: http://youtu.be/GW4tmFa1MuM (2:39 mins)
My #1 Inspiring Video
I remember seeing this video a while back but until J-Ryze (Jason Fonceca from Ryze Online) shared it with me a little bit ago in his newsletter (which you should totally sign up for!), it wasn't on my radar. Now this is the FIRST video I look at when I'm needing motivation to complete projects, simply being lazy or just need some kick-me-in-the-butt motivation!
How Bad Do You Want It? (Success)
Video Link: http://youtu.be/ok8OHYQdDDI (5:51 mins – a bit longer than the others but well worth it!)
Bonus Videos!
Here are two other videos as honorable mentions that I want to share with you guys because I think they are great for a young audience like kids and teens. Don't get me wrong; these are simple, powerful messages we all can learn from. I just think younger people can really take to these and digest them quickly to learn some of life's lessons. I've shared these with my teen niece and nephew and they have taken a liking to them as well.
Bonus #1: Running and Reading
Will Smith, after winning the 2005 Kid's Choice Awards, emphasized the importance of running and reading as a way to develop discipline on a daily basis. Hear why Will says running and reading are important. Good stuff!
Video Link: http://youtu.be/KEMEBBwO6J8 (2:09 mins)
Bonus #2: Life = Risk
This one minute video is powerful in that it can lift you up when you've encountered naysayers, negativity (including self-imposed), haters, or have experienced "failure."
Premise: "If you've never failed, you've never lived."
Video Link: http://youtu.be/hzBCI13rJmA (1:17 mins)
Over to you…
What are your top inspirational videos? I want to bookmark some more good ones for those days I need a pick-me-up! Please share!

Admissions and Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects student privacy. Personally identifiable information is not released without student consent and signature. To review or pick up academic records in person, a valid photo ID that includes signature is mandatory. The college's registration system requires students to create a PIN or password to access their WNC account. The PIN or password is considered the equivalent of a signature.
Students have a right to inspect and review information in his/her education records, the right to seek to amend education records and the right to have some control over the disclosure of information from education records. WNC is not required to provide copies of such records to students. If a student disagrees with some information in his/her educational records, he/she may challenge that information. If the situation is not resolved to the student's satisfaction, the student may request a hearing. If the student disagrees with the results of that hearing, he/she may submit explanation statements for inclusions in his/her file. Contact Admissions and Records for additional information.
When a transcript from another institution is received by Admissions and Records, the transcript becomes the official property of Western Nevada College. Admissions and Records does not release or provide copies of a student's official transcript from another institution to third parties or to the students.
Upon request, students may view their transcript from another institution and take notes in regards to classes, semester, and grades, but may not have a copy. Exceptions to the policy are at the discretion of the Registrar, and are only granted in extreme cases, such as 1) the institution housing the original records has been destroyed and WNC has the only known existing transcript, or 2) international transcripts that the student is unable to obtain.
Full-time students are defined as those who are enrolled in 12 or more credits/units (6 or more credits/units for summer); three-quarter time students are enrolled in 9-11 credits/units; half-time students are enrolled in 6-8 credits.
The National Student Clearinghouse is the authorized agent for WNC for providing enrollment and degree verifications. Students and/or employers or background screening firms requesting enrollment and/or degree verifications may obtain a verification through the Clearinghouse at www.degreeverify.com.
Auditing is a process by which the student pays all the regular fees, attends class sessions, receives all the instruction, and generally does the same assignments and work of a regularly enrolled student, but does NOT receive a grade or credits for the class. Auditors are not required to take exams. The last semester date to change credit to audit, or audit to credit for full term classes is the Friday of the eighth week of the semester (fourth week for summer semester). Changes are processed through myWNC, using the "edit" option located under the "Enroll" section. by submitting a Special Enrollment Authorization from to Admissions and Records.
Classes dropped after the 100 percent refund period that are not "even exchanged" will remain on a student transcript with a grade of "W".
Exchange requests to one full-term class after the first week of the semester for another with the same amount of credits must be submitted during the second week of the semester. A signature or email approval from the instructor must be submitted for any class to add. Even exchange of class/credit will remove the dropped class completely from your transcript. Classes dropped after the 100 percent refund period that are not "even exchanged" will remain on your transcript with a grade of "W", and may affect financial aid for students.
Students are encouraged to read the college catalog and schedule for important policy, procedure, and deadline information. Students are responsible to add and drop courses through myWNC, ensure they have fulfilled all course prerequisites, verify the accuracy of their enrollment, keep their address and phone number and email address current in myWNC and pay for classes by the published deadline. Unpaid students may be removed from class rosters throughout the semester and will not receive a final grade or credits regardless of attendance and completion of course work.

Police arrest 27 in East Palo Alto crackdown

This gang crack down seems to be a yearly affair in EPA, as these stories from the Weekly's archive attest--
EPA Gang Crackdown (2011)
Web Link
EPA Gang Crackdown (2012)
Web Link
EPA Gang Crackdown (2013)
Web Link
What has been the long-term effect of these previous crackdowns? While this police action might get a few of these people off the streets for a few days, what will be the real impact of this crackdown? How many will pay a fine, or plead out, being back on the streets of EPA within a few days?
There is some chance that the EPA police might learn something from these guysleading to the identify of those responsible for the murder, and shootings, but then againthis is America .. once Mirandized .. these boys can clam up and there isn't a lot the police can do.

Its better that they do this, than if they did nothing.
on May 29, 2013 at 11:59 am
After EPA had the most murders/capita in the early 1990's there was a crackdown that put about 60 people in prison. The crime rate dropped DRAMATICALLY. Most of those who live in EPA are hard-working with strong families. It's a few 'bad-apples' who are causing all the problems. Ship them out and let us have safe neighborhoods.
on May 29, 2013 at 12:37 pm
Are those incarcerated in the 1990's out of prison now or just getting out? It is well known that gang activity is orchestrated from outside to inside prison and from inside to outside. It's been about 'twenty-years"and the governor is letting more offenders released and more go 'outside'.
on May 29, 2013 at 12:50 pm
I lived in EPA back when it was considered the "Murder Capitol" but that ended up being a farce. Bodies were dumped in EPA from other cities and tagged as murders in EPA. At the time there was a big campaign to move people out of EPA with "Cash for homes" because EPA is a gold mine due to it's location. Silicon Valley wanted to grab the land in order to house their exec's then the bubble burst and folks migrated to Stockton, Modesto, Antioch and Tracy. A new group of folks funneled into city legally & not so legally thus creating a whole different gang culture.

Vostok has always been the N1 problem in Russia.
Sackerson has a piece up about China encroaching on Russia, not quite like Mexico encroaching on the States, as this is a takeover thing, like Islam, whereas the Mexicans are escaping and wanting to integrate.
It's a post by Sackers which seems eminently sensible on the surface but in fact, comes down to treason on the part of Moscow. Let me explain.
The negative language
Derelict ex-collective farms have been taken over by Chinese. There are many mixed marriages and Chinese is the principal foreign language taught at school and university. Here, all Chinese speak Russian and the Russians know a few words of Chinese.
The positive language
The development of the economy depends entirely on relations with China.
This is how Esau lost his birthright to Jacob. It does not depend on Chinese. It depends on the Russians extracting the digit.
Now let's look at this line:
Their presence is beginning to worry the Russian authorities, who see them as new competition.
No one, no one at all, comes into Russia, across its borders, without Moscow knowing about it through the statistics from the region. Our presence [English speakers] began to worry the Russians too and we were kicked out. Russia controls who crosses its borders so it is not right to say they're sitting back, thinking, "Oh, look at all these Chinese sweeping across. Dear me." It doesn't work like that.
That xenophobic language is completely contradicted by the reality that the Russians need the Chinese here.
No it bloody well isn't. Not at all. Not in the least. There are two major "narodni" fears among Russians and you can't live there very long without these coming through loud and strong. N1 is the Chinese encroaching in the East [Vostok] and the other is the Americans coming through Europe. There is a third but it's been less of a threat but is shaping up to be one again – Germany.
The fear of Britain is cultural, not military. English has gripped the motherland as a language and we are not a profession liked by Moscow. LIked by the locals but not by Moscow and many people in general.
Now there is a situation in Siberia which Russians have always feared and though they always had this concept of the red hordes sweeping in – and remember it's happened in history before so they have national memories of these things – then this post by Sackers, if it had gone national in Russia, would have created a storm of protest.
And it's looking very much like the same brand of treason as Brown/Heath/Wilson selling out Britain to the EU. [I'm speaking of the treason of Moscow here, not of Sackers, who is but the scribe who's seen the story.]
There is a concept in Christianity of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. What it comes down to is that you know what's right, what is so and you deliberately turn your back on it, once having enjoyed its fruits or even its possibilities.
Ditto in Russia. Knowing full well that so many died in the GPW, that Russia went into Chechnya and Afghanistan, that the Gruzini [Georgians] are a problem in the country, knowing that Vostok has always been a major fear of the people, for authorities to allow these Chinese in is a gross dereliction of duty to the people of the land.
I'm not saying that the Chinese would not make the economy better. I'm saying that the people of this nation, Mother Russia, are quite clear on this, as clear as we can be that the EU is a bad thing for our country – actually, much clearer because here there are still some blind people, as with the global warming scam.
The authorities are turning a blind eye to the will of the people.

I read Sackerson's piece, but I still don't feel I understand Moscow's angle on this. Do they care so much about such a remote bit of the economy that they are prepared to allow the Chinese to run it?
Isn't this just a symptom of what always happened, happens and will happen? Humans move through migration, mass-migrations, invasions no matter what causes it: Scarcity, war, the Huns, opportunities (gold in California), … It's the story of our human past. At the end we always move and/or we are invaded.
Wasn't Eastern Siberia Asian (China/Mongolian) or belonging to native tribes before the Russians? I'm not sure but it would surprise me if it would not be the case. The Chinese threat is not new. I've been hearing that from a Mongolian (present Mongolia/former USSR). They see the Chinese as the biggest threat to their autonomy. I don't know it is a real threat or imagined. I only know that Chinese have been moving for centuries and I don't think it is any different now.
"… a piece up about China encroaching on Russia, not quite like Mexico encroaching on the States, as this is a takeover thing, like Islam, whereas the Mexicans are escaping and wanting to integrate."
… a take-over thing? I thought the US took over California from Mexico. Sure it is now American but Latino influence never left… Integration? Well the southern states are blended which is quite logical. Los Angeles has about 50% latinos.
Russia fearing the UK? Really?? Why exactly? The other way round works ok as there sure is a is a hint of mafiarchy with wmd about Russia.
Can't they afford new maps without all those pink bits, or is it some weird thing like the French.. fear of English or maybe Franglais or the equivalent?
What happens when the polulation in the region is majority Han? Something like that was part of the justification for the start of WWII.
Thin edge, AKH. They know China's foot-in the-door policy well.
Daniel – yes, that may be so but the analogy was to point out the fear factor.
Moggsy – culturally, yes they do. Many in the country love Britain – after all, it was a country with an Empire. They can't understand what a hole it is now due to the socialists and I didn't try to explain.
Actually my piece is a translation of a French article, though I've added the map because for me a picture is worth etc.
How many Chinese need to cross the river before they ask for a vote on regional self-determination?
Doesn't Vladivostok look vulnerable, geographically speaking?
How valuable would Eastern Siberia be to China in terms of natural resources? And defensive reach?
All true.
Moscows problem is the failure of its population to reproduce effectively. I don't have the stats to hand but their population is in absolute decline.
If you were the offspring of someone sentenced to internal exile/deportation to some far flung military/industrial colony by Uncle Joe wouldn't you be doing your best to get back west and would you care less who then occupied the arid space you left behind?
James you said the thing about this irrational Russian fear of the UK.
But firstly. I had understood education in Russia had been good and anyway surely the general populace's opinion would not count one way or the other, just the president/priministers. Surely they are reasonably educated and briefed better than Mitt Romney.
Banned – needs a post.
Moggsy – the leadership is with the grace of the siloviki – these are not nice, educated people.

Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes
Harold Melvin was one of the driving forces behind Philadelphia soul, leading his group the Blue Notes to the top of the charts during their stint on Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's Philadelphia International label. Despite Melvin's billing out front, the Blue Notes' focal point was lead singer and onetime drummer Teddy Pendergrass, whose surging baritone graced the Blue Notes' recordings during their glory years of 1972-1975 and gave them a truly distinctive sound. Their output ranged from sweeping, extended proto-disco dance tracks to silky, smoldering ballads, all wrapped up in Gamble and Huff's lushly orchestrated production. When Pendergrass left for a solo career, Melvin & the Blue Notes' commercial fortunes largely reverted to the pre-Pendergrass days (of which there were quite a few), although they did continue to record for a time. They never really disbanded, and by the time Melvin passed away in 1997, he'd been leading the Blue Notes for over four decades.

Ok guys, been doing a lot of work to the truck and slowly replacing fluids and checking on leaks and get it up to par. Lord only knows how the PO took care of this truck and even he is shaking his head. Anyway, so tonight I changed the HPOP oil, read a large thread about it and it was 50/50. I thought well, it can't hurt at 263000 miles. Mind you I did the main oil change just recently, and the HPOP was slightly darker than what was on the dipstick, but not enough to get crazy about. I believe it is circulating like the schematics say it should. I also cleaned the screen on the fuel pressure regulator side of the bowl and it was half clogged up with gunk. Cleaned that out and replaced it. Still have the problem when in idle and I push the go pedal down, it revs up to about 2-2.5 and then has problems going higher, if I let off completely, she will stall. I am almost done with my first tank of fresh fuel and it is looking to average maybe 10-12 mpg driving 50/50 hwy /city, driving like a granny and only topping at 60 mph. I am starting to believe my EBPV is not opening to allow me to get more boost and better mpg. I do not have a boost gauge, so I can't give any detail on that, but it just seems I should have more power under the hood. Any ideas or suggestions would be great. My next plan is to do the GPs and injector rings, but this will need planning since I need a garage and a full day. Shoot your thoughts, thanks guys.

You can unplug the EBPV by the turbo inlet and see if it clears up, do this with the key OFF
So if I'm understanding this thing right, when the motor and power is shut off, the EBPV opens up due to spring inside, but when the ignition is turned on, the PCM detects temp by other sensors and shuts the valve. Is this correct? I will do this tomorrow and report back. Can you anyone give a better description to where this plug is? I seen a plug today that on the drivers side of the turbo where the pedastal, looked to be a two wire. Is this it? Does anyone know the colors of the wire? Thanks again.
There are 2 plugs under the turbo inlet, one goes to the VC gasket, the other is the 2 wire EBPV plug, unplug it with the truck off, no you will not hurt anything running it this way
Two-wire weatherpack plug near the driver's side of the turbo. Wires should be grey with red trace and black with pink trace. Cheers!
Excellant, thank you so much ya'll. I am going out here in a few minutes to try it. I can't wait until tomorrow. Hopefully this changes things. I will get back here within the hour to report.
Somebody beat it with a stick and RELEASED THE BEAST !!!!! Now she feels like a turbo charged diesel, not a sluggish tortoise. The little hill that is by my house, I was lucky to get 35 at the top and the it would stall when I left off the throttle, just a few minutes ago I hit 55 and it didn't stall when I left off. I actually broke the tires loose turning onto another road. I knew them things had more power. Now is a good time cuz I will fill up tomorrow, get my mpgs and fill another tank and compare. Thanks so much guys.
Awesome when things are easy for a change |
That is for sure. We aren't done yet, still need to do a tranny fluid change with filter, rear diff change, new injector orings and new GPs. After all that, I will know when all the fluids were last changed, what was used and the semi stats of the truck. Then it will be on to modding it up. Any suggestions on the above list?
Motorcraft ZD-11 GP's and add a Stancor glow plug relay to the list, that way your GP system will be healthy for many many years

Mika Singh, who rang in his birthday recently, was surprised to receive a gold and diamond studded wrist watch by his friend GS Bawa.
A source present at the gala bash informed, "Kuku, as GS Bawa is affectionately called, is Mika's very close friend. He not only hosted the party to celebrate the big day but also gifted him the expensive watch. The expression on Mika's face, when he opened the wrapper, was to be seen to be believed. He just stood there dumbfounded and did not know how to react. Mika was touched by Kuku's generous gesture."

BAI disciplinary panel recommends life ban for Jwala
New Delhi, Oct 5 : The disciplinary committee of the Badminton Association of India (BAI) has recommended a life ban for leading doubles player Jwala Gutta for her conduct during an Indian Badminton League (IBL) tie in Bangalore Aug 25.
"We have recommended a life ban on Jwala for her role in that tie. Nowehere in Jwala's reply which she sent to us, is she apologetic for her conduct. So we recommended the ban on her. However, if she unconditionally apologises to the president, then she can be pardoned. It is upon the discretion of the president to decide now," BAI's disciplinary committee chairman S. Muralidharan told IANS.
The Krrish Delhi Smashers led by icon player Jwala threatened to forfeit the tie when the Banga Beats tried to replace an injured singles player Hu Yun with Jan O Jorgensen in the eleventh hour. The Smashers protested despite the IBL governing council's go-ahead. Only after the hosts Beats decided to leave out O Jorgensen and play Arvind Bhat instead, did Delhi agree to continue.
Jwala was given a show-cause notice following that and was asked to explain her conduct in early September.
BAI's executive council had decided to appoint a retired High Court judge to investigate the incident when the same tie was delayed by half an hour due to the same issue.

• An unusual nonfollicular keratinization disorder was observed in a father and his son, and in an unrelated woman. The disorder began during the second decade of life and gradually became more widespread and more pronounced thereafter. The dermatosis is characterized by tiny, rough, keratotic spikes giving the skin a raspy feel on palpation. Microscopically, the lesions showed a thick compact stratum corneum without structural changes in the underlying epidermis except for moderate epidermal cell hyperplasia and some reduction in keratohyalin content.

How to Avoid a Bad Logo Design
A logo serves as the face of a business or organization. This is why it is very important to consider the elements that make a good logo design in order to be able to create the right logo. It also goes without saying that logos should look professional. However, not all logo designs are successful in this regard. Many designers make the most basic mistakes and produce amateurish results.
Sometimes, the business owner would decide to personally design the logo himself. This is perfectly okay - only if he is actually capable or skilled in graphic design.
If you choose to commission the job, you can avoid serious business logo blunders by taking into account these two most common reasons why logos can look amateurish:
- Letting the wrong people design the logo e.g., a friend or a relative who knows a little Photoshop or Corel Draw but do not have actual design experience; a logo design contestant found online.
- Outsourcing the task to a company or freelancer that offers very cheap rates. Remember: in hiring other people's services, you only get what you pay for.

Playoff Run Ends For NHS Skaters
Saturday, March 9, 2013MILFORD – Penalties were a difference-maker as a tough North Branford team put an end to the Newtown High School hockey team's playoff run. The Division II state tournament's ninth-seeded Thunderbirds skated to a 5-1 win over the No. 17 Nighthawks in the quarterfinal round at Milford Ice Pavilion on March 9.
Newtown scored first, when Evan Isaacs broke a scoreless deadlock with a power play goal in the second period, but the Thunderbirds reeled off the next five goals – three of which came with the man advantage.
They're In — Nighthawk Skaters Qualify For State Tourney
Friday, February 22, 2013Newtown High School's hockey team, by virtue of back-to-back wins in mid-February, ensured that it will play on once the regular season comes to an end. The Nighthawks earned their seventh and eighth victories of the season to earn a spot in the upcoming Division II state tournament, and also kept their outside shot at getting into the South-West Conference playoffs alive in the process. NHS is relying on some outside help to squeak into the four-team conference tourney, which will get under way on February 28.

08/26/13- Prensa Latina (Habana) - South Africa Praises Friendship with Cuba Johannesburg, Aug 26 (Prensa Latina) South Africa praised today his close friendship with Cuba, on the occasion to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Attack on Moncada Garrison, with an activity full of colorful, emotions, and solidarity. A demonstration of the excellent state of bilateral ties supported to end the blockade imposed by Washington to Cuba, and the release of the anti-terrorist fighters unjustly held in the United States, was highlighted by ambassador Carlos Fernandez de Cosio. The head of the Cuban diplomatic mission in South Africa was responsible for the closing words of the political segment of the ceremony, held in Johannesburg's Brammfontein recreational center in front of more than 200 people. However, far from formalities and protocols, the meeting was marked by the legacy of the South African people to consider all issues of life with songs and dances. This time, with the overflowing joy the event deserved. The evocation to the action that opened the way to the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, the psychological and media warfare of many US administrations, and the collaboration in health and education of the Caribbean island in the world, dominated the speeches. Under the auspices of FOCUS (Friends of Cuba Society), trade unions and social organizations, a group of South African representatives chatted with diplomats from the Island in South Africa, doctors and aid workers in the field of construction. Boti Manamela, general secretary of the Communist Youth League of the southern nation, Venezuela's ambassador here, Mairin Moreno, and figures of the African National Congress (ANC, of government), participated among the guests. sus/iff/ft

This summer, American Apparel's debt had risen to $120.3 million. I wonder if that includes the $100 the company owes me for spending an hour after work sweeping and doing dishes in one of Dov Charney's extra apartments this summer. Somehow, I doubt it.
Working at American Apparel requires an incredible suspension of belief. The belief that you have valuable job skills (you don't), that you're worth more than $9 an hour (you're not), that you were hired for anything other than your looks (you weren't). Employment begins when a "recruiter" (read: hot British model decked out in neon pink high-waisted pants) approaches you outside a Whole Foods and asks if you'd like to join the company.
Admittedly, I might have said no, and saved myself the strange experience of a photo-interview (as in, we take your picture, review it, then hire you). But I was spending the last of my bank account on Whole Foods' overpriced sushi, and an imminent summer of unemployment was slightly daunting.Initially, working for the company didn't seem too far from a normal summer job. After hearing about Dov's creepy antics and experiencing firsthand their bizarre recruiting tactics, I was somewhat relieved to find my location filled with equally recession-fearful college students. The job entailed greeting customers, opening the dressing rooms, trying not to fall asleep standing. And, of course, dressing head to toe in lace and spandex.
Yet while ex-employees and the blogosphere perpetually target American Apparel's dress code as some apex of the company's irrationality, they are missing the larger issue within the company's overall attitude. Dov Charney approaches everything — from dress codes to hiring to store expansions — with a childish mindset, irrationally demanding what he desires at any moment without considering the costs.
For one, each new employee is given a pile of free clothes — after which, I've seen a good 30 percent of the new hires never return for another shift. Moreover, the employees that do manage to stick around are marched through a bizarre series of activities and exercises that are honestly so amusing that they incur mild embarrassment, rather than abhorrence, for the company.
During a "branding meeting," the company flies in various "recruiters" to give the employees rousing speeches on the importance of image in selling clothes. At one mandatory meeting I attended, two bra-less, lace-leotard-clad French models described the art of flirting with your customers, while we all tried not to stare at their prominently displayed nipples. At another employee meeting held on a Sunday night, we were giving two pages of "meeting minutes" and forced to sit through three hours of exceptionally profound advice, such as "put a trash bag in the trash can before throwing something out in the break room." One part of the meeting entailed listening to Dov on speakerphone, personally calling in from California to thoughtfully remind us that any visible piercings would result in immediate dismissal. At around 1 a.m., the heels and pinafore-clad district manager got so frustrated by our lack of responsiveness that she irritably asked how many of us had worked in retail before.
I stared at the 15 glassy-eyed girls in front of me — not one of us raised our hands.
Here lies the problem (or, many problems) of American Apparel. The company is staffed with young employees with no experience who were hired for their looks. Which would be fine, if it were not also run by young managers and models with no intelligence who were hired for their looks. The company is overflowing with attractive French women, who are paid and flown around the world to give lengthy lectures on selling scrunchies, while the sales floor workers quit in droves after enduring one too many "branding meetings."
In early August, Dov Charney flew to New York to assess the East Coast sales (or, as we later learned, to survey his nearly-ruined fleet of stores.) Running around the sales floor with his posse of spacey Am Ap drones, he manically rearranged our store, and then insisted it stay open until 3 a.m. that night. I'm pretty sure the next day half the employees changed their availability to exclude closing hours.
Housing his traveling group of mannequin-dressers in company-owned apartments, Dov had various cutlery, lamps and assorted bedding shipped to the store to furnish the residences. Two of my coworkers, while clocked in as sales associates, were taken off the sales floor to carry an air conditioner up to one of Dov's apartments. The employees, whose combined weight must have been 200 pounds, later told me that the apartment was a six-floor walk up.
Which brings me to my own Am Ap apartment experience. After all the employees refused an offer to clean one of the apartments during our shift (aka for $9 an hour) Dov finally called and told my manager he would pay two of us $100 for the hour. (Approximately what we make in a week.) Jumping at the opportunity to pad our meager paychecks, my friend and I walked over to the apartment and quickly began cleaning. As I swept the floor, my friend washed the dishes and chanted "I have a college degree" to herself.
Three months and one paycheck later, I have yet to see our hard-earned dollars. Admittedly, after pestering my manager three times, I've largely given up on the money, leaving NYC and the company behind as I begin my last college year before true unemployment begins. Yet as I watched the company emerge in national headlines for bankruptcy, rather than for another sexual-harassment lawsuit, I doubt any ex-employee is very shocked. Dov Charney may make fantastic shiny leggings. Nevertheless, he runs his multinational company with the maturity of a 15-year-old who is bored by financial consequences, but knows that he likes see-through shirts.

A A+F Academics: The teachers are great and they really care about your academics. The career center is helpful in finding jobs and internships.
A A+F Academics: The professors are really friendly and some are on a first name basis with their students. They are easy to contact for help and the class sizes are small.
A A+F Academics: Nursing students get a lot of attention and resources. It's a difficult major but at the end of each semester I always feel that it is worth it.
A A+F Academics: USF has a lot of great professors that genuinely want their students to succeed. A lot of professors are super easy to talk to.
Academics: the school has no anthroplogy major, which is dissapointing.

Most students come to the University of San Francisco for the city itself. But with modern, extensive facilities and dedicated professors from an impressive array of disciplines, students come away with great courses in specialized departments. The most popular majors are that of business/marketing and social sciences, though the nursing program is rigorous, as are the physical science majors. However, many students come to USF for liberal arts-based majors. The University also provides many ways to make the most of your time and tuition money while attending USF, particularly with the dual-degree program in education and the 4+3 law program, the latter of which enables students to minor in legal studies (and with suitable LSAT scores, students are offered automatic admission into USF's law school).
Academics are certainly not every student's main concern, but USF is by no means a party school. The University boasts many compelling guest lecturers, student video screenings, poetry readings, etc. In this respect, academics carry over into most aspects of campus life, even recreational activities and off-campus events like student-produced plays and writing workshops. With facilities like the on-campus writing center and computer labs placed throughout Main Campus, students can easily get help with papers, projects, foreign language tutoring, and more. A benefit of USF's small population is the attention paid to details and to students. The average class size is anywhere from 15 to 25 students, though lectures often have more. All the resources are there; students can easily find opportunities for academic success at USF.

Understanding the nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy is one of the most pressing issues in cosmology and fundamental physics. The purpose of the Euclid mission is to study these two cosmological components with high precision, using a space-based weak lensing and BAO survey as its primary science driver. Such a survey will permit to address in addition, galaxy evolution, Milky Way and will provide the community a unique all sky imaging and spectroscopy legacy survey.
Weak Lensing provides a measure of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe and of the impact of dark energy on the growth of structures. Euclid will also measure Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs), and in correlation with CMB data the Integrated Sachs Wolfe effect, both imprinted in the three-dimensional distribution of galaxies, as well as Galaxy Cluster counts. The later probes will provide an independent measurement of DarkEnergy and Dark Matter properties.

Just because you've failed, it doesn't mean you're a failure.
Failure is a cold, depressing, unforgiving place. J.K. Rowling's Dementors personify the condition brilliantly:
Most of us, at some time, have been there. And our fear of failure is so great, that we tend to edit out of our lives any sign of weakness, any indication that we might be heading in that direction. We avoid situations where we might be seen to fail. Or adults do at least.
Babies don't. For them, failing is absolutely normal. How many times do they struggle to get to their feet, and then take those first few steps, only to fall? That's not failure. It's a learning experience. And it just makes them more determined to succeed next time. And when they do succeed, that look of sheer delight as they turn to you, says it all. Triumph!
The same with language. Babies copy sounds, learn to make words, then small sentences, and realize their power. 'Me want cup.' It's wrong of course … but who cares! It's a step on the road to communication, and we celebrate with them.
It's why young children are usually great at learning foreign languages, and most adults aren't. When you're young, failing is just part of learning, so you're free to experiment, and you don't feel bad when you get it wrong. But as adults, we hate to expose ourselves and let others see we might have made a mistake. We learn to be unadventurous.
And yet most of us yearn for adventure. The high points in our lives, the moments we relish, are when we took on a challenge – physical, mental, spiritual – and proved to ourselves that we could still triumph. Starting a business is, for me, one of those adventures. I know it's likely that I'm going to fail at times – it wouldn't be an adventure if it was safe. But I'm an adult. How do I guard against the danger of total failure? How do I make sure that even if I miss my footing, I don't go crashing down onto the rocks below?
My strategy is to start by planning my destination – exactly where I want to be a month or a year from now. Let me illustrate by showing you the destination for my new business, Coloring The Wind (which is selling 'finely-crafted inspiration', poetry presented as wall-art). The first target has to be that I can afford to support myself – or there'll be no business. This 'destination statement' would be too vague:
There's no time-scale. And 'viable' is entirely subjective – it could mean something entirely different to me than to you. (I may even have two different points of view myself .. depending on the spin I want to give 'viable' at the time!) This is better, but still not good enough:
But what's a 'decent living wage'? Again it's subjective. And my destination doesn't define how I'm going to make that payment. Perhaps I could do it by borrowing from the bank – but that's not the intention. So here's an example of a destination statement that works.
Fine. So that's the destination. Now how am I going to get there in the 30-day period? I list my key responsibilities (usually around 10-15 of them) for the period, and for each one I set measurable targets – targets that'll help me to reach my destination. Here are mine:
- Find talented creatives ready to contribute
- Reach agreement with at least 5 poets
- Reach agreement with at least 3 visualizers
- Publish new products in store
- Release at least 10 new products
- Diversify product lines in store
- Set up store with at least 1 stream for poetry which is not entrepreneur-oriented
- For each product, introduce at least one variant to poster format (e.g. stationery, cards)
- Learn how to use Zazzle effectively
- Spend 8 hours researching Zazzle best-practice: then revise this objective
- Win support of CTW advocates
- Contact 50 potential advocates, asking them to share CTW's info
- At least 25 advocates have shared CTW info at least 4 times in month
- Contact each advocate at least once a week
- Build CTW mailing-list
- At least 150 subscribers
- At least 75 per week open newsletter, and click on a link at least once
- Set up marketing affiliates
- Blog and mail subscribers once to explain benefits of affiliation with CTW
- At least 5 affiliate CTW shops opened on Facebook or blogs
- Manage CTW social media campaign
- Spend no more than 3 hours a day on CTW blogging / social media
- Publish at least 1 blog-post per day
- Merge CTW Facebook/Google+ pages into a single page driven by users
- Prepare to hire CTW team
- Preliminary achievement plans for CTW positions published by Aug 17
- Manage essential administration
- Complete declaration to US tax authorities so that Zazzle can pay us.
This is the basis for an Achievement Plan for my job. The next step is to add a list of the priority Personal Qualities I'll need to get the job done. I draw these from my summary of Personal Qualities and later, I'll check my performance against the descriptors in the Personal Qualities Framework. I'm listing:
So what do I do next? I stick this list of responsibilities and qualities right under my nose, so that every couple of hours, I can pause for a minute, think about what I'm doing, and make sure that it's helping me to meet at least one of my targets. It stops me from getting distracted.
Then, at the beginning of each day, I run through my list of targets and work out my priorities. I'll also be looking for any early warnings that I might fail to hit a target. What am I going to do about it? Should I change the target? If so will that stop me from reaching my destination? Or should I just find a better way to do it? Do I need to ask someone for advice? Is there something I need to learn?
When you set measurable targets, there's always the risk that you won't hit them – and I probably will fail – or at least need to readjust – in some areas. But the point of this achievement-centred approach is to spot problems early, and to address them before they become catastrophes. That's how to fail successfully – and how not to be a failure.
So now it's your turn. What's your Achievement Plan?

Microsoft begins restoring Sidekick data
Microsoft has begun the process of restoring data to Sidekick owners who have been without it since a massive outage began at the beginning of the month, the software giant said Tuesday.
In a statement, Microsoft said it has posted a tool to T-Mobile's Web site that allows Sidekick owners to restore their address book.
Although it initially feared that much data might be lost, Microsoft said last week that it expected to be able to recover most, if not all, of the information. However, the company also said that the process of bringing back the data will go beyond this week. … Read more

I can't speak for every etsy shop owner- but from this one little shop owner- the best thing you can do when you like what you've recieved, is to tell the person! It only takes a few minutes to give good feedback :) What makes me LOVE selling on etsy- is when customers send photos.
I recieved photos this week from a customer who ordered a couple of months ago. She special ordered appliques from me- and how cute is this?!
It really made my day to see how cute they could be- and how she liked them enough to send me photos!!
Also- all is well here in Colorado! The snow is melting and I'll be posting soon with more updates from my "summer" break!

Pediatric Endocrinology
The following describes endocrinological conditions in children, including diabetes. For specific information regarding your child's health and treatment options, please contact your Hurley physician or medical professional.
Hurley is the best in the region at treating infants and children with endocrine conditions, especially pediatric diabetes.
Our dedicated team of specialists–a Pediatric Endocrinologist, Certified Diabetes Educator, and Registered Dietician–provides diagnosis, management, and extensive follow-up regarding all pediatric endocrine conditions, including diabetes, growth disorders, thyroid deficiencies, and multiple hormone disorders.
There are two main types of pediatric diabetes:
Type 1
- Type 1 Diabetes means that a person's body produces little or no insulin.
- Children with Type 1 Diabetes must take insulin every day and are often very sick, requiring hospitalization. They also need to be closely monitored, especially when using an insulin pump.
- The majority of Hurley's pediatric diabetes patients are Type 1.
- Type 1 Diabetes is a difficult condition for the whole family as well as for the patient. Hurley's pediatric endocrinology team recognizes this as they follow patients from diagnosis through their college years, offering emotional support as well as medical care. Our specialists also go into the community and visit local schools to educate students and school personnel about this lifelong chronic condition.
Type 2
- Type 2 Diabetes means that a person's body makes insulin, but the insulin doesn't work the way that it should.
- Because of the increase in childhood obesity, more children are being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
- Type 2 Diabetes can be managed by healthy eating, increasing activity, oral medications, and sometimes taking insulin.
Pediatric Diabetes Education Classes
Hurley Medical Center offers diabetes education for children during their appointments at the following three locations:
Hurley West Campus
(Hurley Pediatric Specialist on duty)
1125 S. Linden Rd., Suite 500
Flint, MI 48532
(810) 262-2140
Hurley Children's Clinic

Flint, MI 48503
(810) 262-9773
Grand Blanc Medical Center
8203 S. Saginaw St.
Grand Blanc, MI 48439
(810) 953-1699
Obesity and diabetes
The major reason children develop diabetes is because they are obese. Children who are obese are more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes, along with other problems. There are many ways to fight obesity and diabetes, including exercising, playing sports, eating healthy foods, managing weight, and adopting a healthy relationship to food.
Bariatric Surgery
If your child is morbidly obese or has other chronic weight-related conditions, one alternative is bariatric surgery. At the Hurley Bariatric Center, we recognize that weight loss surgery isn't for everyone, and that each of our patients is unique with their own personal story and goals. That's why our team of highly-skilled bariatric surgeons partner with patients of all ages to help them choose a custom-tailored plan that's right for them for successful, sustained weight loss. We provide pre- and post-surgical emotional support, nutrition and exercise counseling, and all the information patients need to make this life-changing decision, as well as 24-hour post-surgical care by our expert surgeons and staff.
If you are interested in knowing more about bariatric surgery at the Hurley Bariatric Center, please click here to register for an FREE upcoming seminar, view the complete schedule of seminars, or to inquire about our surgical options.
Diabetes and metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a condition that includes a number of risk factors specific to cardiovascular disease, and it significantly raises the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and/or stroke.
Hurley Center for Health Outcomes
Hurley Center for Health Outcomes teaches people of all ages how to control and even prevent diabetes.
Patient- and Family-Centered Care
At Hurley Medical Center, we are committed to Patient and Family-Centered Care, a new way of providing healthcare. Hurley doctors, nurses, Certified Diabetes Educators, the patient, and the patient's family become partners in managing the patient's healthcare needs and treatment. Hurley pediatric endocrinology team encourages our young patients to take responsibility for their diabetes, empowering them to pay attention to their bodies' needs and to make decisions about their medication doses as they grow and their activity levels change. The Hurley team also provides ongoing teaching, explaining the reasons for the medication and helping patients learn about themselves, their bodies, and their blood sugar.

"Our daughter was diagnosed with a reading/spelling disability in the 6th grade. We knew we needed to intervene immediately, so we enrolled her at Tampa Day School and their specialized reading program...As a parent, it's difficult to measure a child's improvement, but this one thing I do know, our daughter started devouring books, which had never happened before."
—Deborah D., Parent of a TDS Student
"I've loved this school since the first day I came two years ago. Back then I was failing in math and history. I was welcomed with open arms by TDS staff and fellow students. I felt like I was home. I used to be bullied when I went to public school..Back there I had no friends but at Tampa Day School I had friends the first day."

Artist Information
The duo Spiral Tango, William Simcoe (guitar) and Elisabeth Williams (flute) met at a tango dance in Albany, New York. William had come as a pilgrim, to play tangos on the guitar and be inspired by the dancers. Elisbeth was among the tango dancers, but she was also drawn to tango as a musician. They decided to try some tango music for guitar and flute. Encouraged by their tango dancing friends and by the joy of music making they began to perform together for tango events and in a variety of venues and ensembles. In 2005 they decided to record together, and the result was the CD "Mis Suenos de Tango", released in April 2006. Spiral Tango has been greatly inspired by their artist friend, Argentine composer Jose Luis Merlin; they play many of his works for solo guitar and for guitar/flute duo. They also play works by contemporary composers Diego Collatti and Roberto Di Marino and their own arrangements of tango classics, including works by Astor Piazzolla, Carlos Gardel and Abel Fleury. In 2008 Spiral Tango performed at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, for Tango Night at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, for the Oneonta Guitar Festival , and for the Classical Guitar Academy of Milan, Italy.
