Pancakes can do more than just satisfy people's appetites, they can provide a community service. For instance, Kiwanis members are hosting a breakfast with Santa from 7-11 a.m. Saturday at the Betty Ehart Senior Center.The admission may be free, but participants are asked to help out in their community by either donating nonperishable food to LA Cares or contributing money to the Kiwanis' foster children's party.The menu for the breakfast includes pancakes, eggs, sausage, milk and juice. Additionally, children get their picture taken with a major celebrity, Santa Claus.The event, which is part of WinterFest, has been held since 1994 and has been a big draw for residents, Joan Hurd, Kiwanis Club member, said.Pat Soran, another Kiwanis member, said they usually gather truckloads of canned goods and raise about $1,000 for the foster children's party.Hurd credited Santa for luring children and families to the event. She added, "It's a great family event, something for every age."Additionally, it serves worthy causes, Hurd said.Soran said nonperishable food is given to LA Cares because it has the means to store and distribute the food. Additionally, the foster children's party started 10 years ago.

Utah researcher says autism-pollution link needs serious study
Could Utah's high autism rates be related to Salt Lake County's large number of toxic chemical releases?
University of Utah researchers say the question deserves more study after their preliminary review shows children with autism spectrum disorders and other intellectual disabilities are more likely to have been born near industries that emit toxic chemicals or heavy metals.
"If you take this combined with the other studies [showing links between pollution and autism], it's pointing to something that we need to seriously look at," said Judith Pinborough-Zimmerman, research assistant professor in the U.'s Department of Psychiatry.
She and researchers from the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health and the Utah Department of Health presented their findings at The International Society for Autism Research conference last month in San Diego.
They examined the maternal addresses found on birth certificates of children born in 1993 and 1994 in Davis, Salt Lake and Utah counties who were later diagnosed with autism or other mental disabilities. They also mapped the addresses of children without a known neurodevelopmental disorder.
They found that children born to mothers who lived within a mile of what are called Toxic Release Inventory sites that emit certain chemicals and heavy metals were more likely to have those problems. TRI facilities release or dispose toxic chemicals regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA maintains a database of all such facilities and the type and amount of chemicals they release.
• The risk of having an autism spectrum disorder was 3.5 times greater for children born within a mile of a site releasing between 5,000 and 10,000 pounds of halogenated chemicals (dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls and trichloroethylene). There were five such TRI sites emitting at those levels in the mid-1990s.
• The risk of having an autism spectrum disorder was twice as big when living within a mile of one of six TRI sites emitting up to 5,000 pounds of the heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead, nickel and mercury.
• The risk for developing an intellectual disability was similarly high within a mile of those sites.
• Oddly, the odds of developing a speech-language impairment was less for children born closer to a TRI site.
Those particular chemicals and heavy metals were chosen because they are suspected endocrine disrupters, which may cause developmental and neurological problems, said Rod Larson, with the Rocky Mountain Center. Most of the chemicals and metals are also known to affect the neurological system, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
Salt Lake County has the second-highest amount of toxic chemical releases in the country, according to the EPA's TRI database. Tooele is ranked 64th.
Earlier in May, Pinborough-Zimmerman released a separate study showing Utah's autism rate among 8-year-olds doubled from 2002 to 2008. The latest report shows 1 in 77 have the disorder, which is marked by difficulties communicating and interacting socially. Children with autism also often engage in repetitive behavior. Many suffer from sleep disorders, anxiety, depression and other medical problems.
But it's too soon to say that living next to TRI sites contribute to the development of autism, cautioned Amanda Bakian, one of the researchers of the TRI study and epidemiologist for the Utah Registry of Autism and Developmental Disabilities.
She said the team plans a more rigorous study that would include controlling for other risk factors, such as maternal age and socioeconomic status. In addition, they want to include air dispersion models to know whether children with the disabilities were downwind and exposed to the chemicals.
The current review didn't include length of exposure to chemicals and heavy metals, or other sources of chemical exposures in the home or workplace.
It also couldn't account for whether the women were potentially exposed to the chemicals during the first trimester of pregnancy, a critical period of development.
"We need to take this study to the next step and have it peer-reviewed and published," Bakian said.
Other recent studies have also shown a link between autism and environmental exposures, such as living near a freeway or living among higher concentrations of some of the metals and chemicals the Utah researchers included.
Brian Moench, president of the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, said the U. pilot study, along with the others, should serve as a wake-up call. "We need to start paying attention to the kinds of exposures we're allowing our families to be subjected to."
He points to one place to draw the line: Kennecott's planned expansion at the Bingham Canyon Mine. While the company maintains it will reduce air pollution with improved technology, Moench and other environmental and health groups are skeptical.
Because heavy metals don't break down, "the impact on public health increases every single year," he said. "It's time we looked at this and said, 'Can we afford the community [to be] continually exposed to these kinds of emissions?' "
Tracking toxic releases
The University of Utah study looked at sites that, in the mid-1990s, were releasing between 5,000 and 10,000 pounds of halogenated chemicals (dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls and trichloroethylene) or up to 5,000 pounds of the heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead, nickel and mercury.

Lowbrow Customs was started in 2004 in the bedroom of founder Tyler Malinky. For reasons still murky, he bought a domain name, designed the logo - and did nothing more. A year later, his wife suggested he sell some cool stickers on the site, and the rest, as they say, is history. Lowbrow now produces and sells sweet chopper parts, apparel, and media that is groundbreaking. They (Tyler, and his brother Kyle who joined Tyler early on to help do cool motorcycle stuff) take their customers very personally, and inject themselves and their unique flavor of doing business into every part they sell. Sure, the money helps, but as they have said before, they do chopper-guy stuff because it's fun, they like do to do it, and because being in a business one loves is a surefire ticket to happiness.
Lowbrow has partnered with Wes White, David Bird, and Frank Kaisler to produce educational DVDs, and they are masters of super-cool chopper get-togethers. (The Getdown and the Midwest Moto Swap come to mind.) If they aren't hosting an event, odds are good if it happens in North America, they'll be there and/or be sponsoring the event. Truly a grassroots business, Lowbrow puts the 'home' into 'home-brewed'!

I hate waste. I have great difficulty in throwing away those bits of scrap yarn .I'm utterly convinced it will come in handy, one day. I have a scrap box for all those odds and ends of yarn I can't part with.It is overflowing.
I love lipstick,lip gloss,I never leave home without it. I have come up with this pattern, a lipstick cozy.You can combine scraps of leftover sock yarns( fingering weight)It uses very little yarn 5 to 10grams. It is a very easy pattern ,even beginners will find it a breeze.
tapestry needle
Not nessary
You can use any type of yarn and any crochet hook. It can solve those moments when you just have to crochet but you don't have alot of time .Make a few ,use them as little handmade gifts for teachers ,friends , a stocking filler, perfect for any age.The stitches are UK terms.
Thank you
They are adorable. If you have more yarn it could be a baby bottle cover!
I wasn't sure I needed a lipstick cosy.

Martha Stewart made it public that she joined Match.com in an attempt to find a partner, and she narrowed down her search to two men out of 1,000 date requests.
Stewart, 71, met the men on the Today Show – Stan and Larry, both 68.
Stan, a filmmaker, said of the home mogul "I always really liked Martha. How could you not?" Us Weekly reports. They have met before, as Stan shot her in a commercial.
Larry, an international steel executive, also said "When I read the profile, she expressed the same feelings that all of us this age have."
The next step will be for Stewart to go on dates with both men. She wanted to make clear, however, "None of these have been set up. None of this is fake. I just want everybody to know that because I want other women in a similar situation to mine to realize that it can be done . . . I hope."
Matt Lauer also laughed at his new role, saying "It's now official, I'm [Dating Game host] Jim Lange," The New York Post reports.

Ellen DeGeneres was just as shocked as we were to see Nicki Minaj's bra-less outfit!
The "Super Bass" rapper sat down with Ellen for Friday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," where she opened up about her hatred of undergarments and dished about her departure from "American Idol."
Check out the video above to see Ellen's amazement when she sees Nicki's revealing ensemble -- it's hilarious!
The 30-year-old posted a picture of her outfit via Instagram on Tuesday, as she was on her way to film the pre-taped episode. But the former "Idol" judge ended up showing too much skin, if you know what we mean.

Xero Personal
It's an exciting day for us at Xero because we get to talk about Xero Personal for the first time.
We've been working on Xero Personal for some time. We need to talk about it now as it's about to go into external partner testing. It will be available in early 2010.
So what is Xero Personal all about?
One of the first reasons we looked at doing a personal edition is because many small business owners blur their personal and business expenses. Rewards points on credit cards are a good example of why this happens. So a key function of Xero Personal is to allow business owners to separate their personal and business expenses. Personal will work great on its own but it will also complement Xero Business.
The second reason is because this space is a good opportunity – ripe for a new business model. Looking at the state of the personal finance software market it's undoubtedly becoming a hot space. A recent example is Intuit's recent $US170 million acquisition of Mint. Personal products generally fit into two camps.
- Those that are stand alone and require some sort of advertising based model for revenue. There has been some great innovation here but we really don't like cluttering things up with an advertising based model.
- Those solutions that are provided inside online banking. The problem with this approach is the difficulty to innovate and try new things as they are constrained by the requirements of working inside the banking environment.
We wanted to do something that hasn't been seen before. A hybrid that leverages our great relationships with banking partners, while allowing us to innovate on our own platform. As we discovered with Xero Business – it comes alive when connected to a bank. So we wanted that for Xero Personal. Connecting to banks allows us to do some really exciting things and make it very easy for our customers.
What does Xero Personal do?
In terms of what the software does, we wanted to go past the initial hit of just classifying transactions and seeing the depressing reality of what you spend your money on. We want to create a new service that people use each week to set their goals and track progress. We want to change how people save and how they act with their money. All of us were blown away when our interaction team walked us through the early designs several months ago. We think we've built a tool that people will enjoy using again and again.
In New Zealand we're working closely with the BNZ. It's been so much fun working with their team. We intend to take Xero Personal to market with other banks around the world over time. We've designed it to support bank branding and provide a collection of widgets that can be displayed inside online banking. Xero Personal still works great without a bank connection – but working with banks and getting data moving around automatically will be an even better experience.
Xero Personal is a new code base, but we reused a lot from Xero Business. We're excited to be able to get many more people to have a Xero experience with this product.
How and when?
Stay tuned for more information over the coming months as we complete testing and get into production.We'll let you know as soon as it's publicly available and how you can get it – early 2010. You can register your interest at www.xero.com/personal and we'll email you updates.
Any questions, please let us know.

Why can't you guys get feeds working for all banks? ANZ Money Manager got it working years ago!
will you be able to integrate with Mint.com and/or and Australian service provider? i have several bank accounts acros borders and would like to get a snapshot of my finances across markets. USA and NZ and AU.
I've create template like you but using different color, thanks for giving a best idea.
Check out http://www.budgettrak.com. Xero should join forces with these guys in NZ. They have qif downloads, goal tracking and automatic learning of categories, GST and non GST items reports and has the ability for an advisor to see how you are doing as well. Visually not exciting but functions are brilliant.
There is one major problem with all this online software that makes it extremely difficult for me to switch from MS Money. None of them support split transactions, and the ASB version has a poor category selection.
For me there is virtually no point even entertaining the use of any financial management software (online or otherwise) until I can split the transaction. If I go to BP and buy $30 worth of smokes and $30 worth of petrol… what category do I use? If I go to Bunnings and buy potplants, a lawnmover and fan heater and some nails… what category? If I pay my all my insurances once every year to the same provider, how do I break that category down into Life, Vehicle, House, Contents, Landlords, Business and Boat insurance?
ASB have closed ears on this matter… my fingers are crossed that Xero will listen and deliver!!
How much is Zero Personal, you have no pricing on the site. A bit dubious with hidden prices.
Hi Steve, the pricing is different depending on where you are located and is listed above the sign up form at the bottom of this page- https://www.xero.com/personal/.
This looks like a great tool. I just signed up for the free trial. I was looking for something like this that would help me manage my finances better. What kind of feedbacks did you guys get using Xerox Personal with American banks? With banks such as Bank of America or Well Fargo
Am enjoying Xero personal after finally dumping my Psion 5mx with a money app which I have been using for years. I have now got about 9 months of data on it and find it frustrating that there is little in the way of reporting options to drill down into my historical data. Are there any plans to extend the reporting?
Hey guys,
When are you expecting to be able to release connecting to banks in the uk?
[…] The service is expected to launch to the public in early 2010. For more information, visit the website. […]
[…] out of me publicly berating Xero. So, I really appreciate you taking the time. What happened was, Xero Personal is one of the product suites that you've had at Xero for people to manage their personal […]

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
Being a twin has stood actor Shawn Ashmore in good stead career-wise. When, aged nine, his identical brother Aaron landed a part in a commercial but then fell ill on the day of shooting, Shawn took his place. "Being twins, that was easy," says the actor, for whom the substitution marked a first step on the road to screen stardom.
Shawn Robert Ashmore was born one minute after his sibling on October 7, 1979, to parents Linda, a homemaker, and manager Rick. Living in Richmond, British Columbia, at the time the family relocated soon after and the boys spent the first decade of their lives in Edmonton, Alberta.

Did you follow the Whole Life Challenge at your neighborhood CrossFit? After weeks of intense workouts, modified diets, and keeping each other accountable, the CrossFitters at CrossFit Surf City finally completed their challenge, and we've got a winner!
Our very own Heather M. competed in and completed the challenge and is sharing her thoughts about participating, as well as the fantastic Workout of the Day, inspired by Contiki!
Check out all the details!
Guest Blog Post by Heather M., Contiki Marketing Specialist
Eight weeks ago, Contiki and CrossFit Surf City partnered and challenged fellow Crossfitters to live their life to the fullest by participating in the Whole Life Challenge. For eight weeks CrossFit Surf City students modified their diet by cutting out sugar, artificial sweeteners, grains, starches, corn, soy, dairy, alcohol, soda, juice, and any artificial or processed ingredients or foods.
Students were also challenged to work out, mobilize, and take fish oil supplements daily. Each student was accountable for judging their adherence to the rules daily – ultimately holding themselves accountable for the results they desired. As an incentive, Contiki awarded the most-improved student with a Costa Rica Unplugged tour. CrossFit Surf City also created a Costa-Rica themed WOD (workout of the Day). Check it out below!
The Contiki WOD – The Contiki Costa Rica
8 min AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible)
- 8 lunges (Day 5 is the Hike get ready to get some elevation)
- 1 Rope Climb (You must repel or you'll have to Ride the Falls on Day 6)
- 8 Pull Up (Hold on Tight for the ZipLine thats Day 7)
- 8 Burpee Box Jumps (Surfing Practice for Day 10)
- Check out photos of the CrossFit Group getting their Contiki WOD on here!
The numbers are in and the story of the winner (or winners to be exact) is sure to get your holiday spirit stirring. As a fellow athlete and CrossFit Surf City Whole Life Challenge participant, I can attest that the tight-knit camaraderie of this group of athletes is unparalleled. Each participant truly supported one another with cheers, delicious recipe suggestions, advice, and genuine care for each other's well-being.
Case in point, the official winner of the CrossFit Whole Life Challenge, Darcy Lewis, gifted her Contiki Costa Rica Unplugged prize to Kelly Niles because "she was an inspiration to us all, demonstrated an incredible amount of willpower, and kept making me trying my hardest." A heartwarming story like this gives us all the true meaning to living life to the fullest!
Congratulations to Darcy, Kelly, and all participants. We made it!
Check out photos from the intense Whole Life Challenge Finals here at CrossFit Surf City's Facebook page!

Anyone heard from or about Maria lately? I sent an inquiry about a pattern, no reply, and I see some posts on her site from customers who are having trouble reaching her. Just curious and concerned, since she has been quite engaged in the past....
------Viking Lily 545
Viking Ruby
Bernina Activa 210
Brother 1034d
I emailed her on Saturday (9/25) and haven't heard back yet. Previous to that, I've emailed a couple other times and its taken at least 3 or 4 days for her to get back to me.
I'm still waiting on patterns I ordered almost a month ago.
What I've noticed is that I haven't seen any new Onion pattern for almost a year now.
Before joining PR: 1 sewing machine
Since joining PR: 6 sewing machines, kilometers of stash and tons of fun
I hope all is well with her. She hasn't posted a review here for almost a year
Here is a good site - it is in Denmark, and they have wonderful fabric and all sorts of patterns including Onion and Multisnit. They do ship abroad, and the prices seem reasonable to me. Worth a look. I haven't ordered but look at this site often, and yearn.
Onion Patterns at Fjolner in Denmark
------"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
--Dalai Lama
I have sewing machines
I have ordered from Fjolner, and their service is terrific, personable (the guy who owns the place likes to converse), and pretty darn fast. It seems a very nice business.
Oh, thanks Elona! Good to know. :)
I finally just saw a credit card transaction from them that posted today. I ordered on 9/2, sent them a message on 9/16, and was told that my order shipped on 9/4. She told me to wait until 9/25 to see if I got them. As I said earlier, I emailed on 9/26 and haven't gotten a response yet.
For my first order, the same thing happened. However, when she did "re-ship" them I got them in less than a week and never did see the first shipment.
I figured the first instance was because I placed an order just before they took a holiday, but now that it's happened again I don't think I'll be ordering from them anymore. It's frustrating!
Maria was on a trip with the school she's teaching at without any internet. I guess she forgot to put a notice up on the site.
------read my blog:
Thanks, Tini. Glad to read that Maria is OK.
------With a great wardrobe that's still in the flat-fabric stage.

Manage the change – manage expectations – upskill users
For those who have no experience of them, online meetings may be surrounded by an air of mystique that is fuelled by quite strongly prejudicial views. Some of that negativity comes from fear of change, some comes from a poor previous experience and some comes from simply not knowing what an online meeting is like.
One obvious solution is to explain what synchronous communication is. It requires all participants to be available at the same time. It's live, it's real-time. Its opposite is asynchronous communication, which frees up participants from the need to be available at the same time. It's self-paced. Face-to-face communication is synchronous, as is the telephone, chat rooms, video conferencing, instant messaging and web conferencing. On the other hand, all forms of recorded media are asynchronous, including books, CDs and podcasts. But asynchronous communication can also be two-way, as with letters, email, discussion forums, blogs, wikis, etc. Self-paced e-learning is asyncrhonous. Virtual classrooms are synchronous.
To be 'online' implies a state of connectivity, typically through a device such as a computer that is connected to the Internet. Face-to-face communication is clearly not online. Most traditional media, including print publications, tapes, CDs, radio and TV can be regarded as offline media.
Being between a rock and a hard place
When you ask people to meet for learning or to transfer information online for the first time, you are asking them to adopt a way of working that they may regard as innovative and unproven. You may meet boundless enthusiasm, but you are almost bound to meet some resistance. Some will see the two words "meet" and "online" as a contradiction in terms.
When they are managing the introduction of new things, many people use a well-known model that is described in a book by Geoffrey Moore. It is especially relevant to people in sales and marketing. He speaks of "crossing the chasm" between the first 2.5% to take up a new idea or technology, he calls them "innovators", and the next group – the 13.5% whom he calls "early adopters".
Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey Moore. Harper Business; Rev. 1999 ISBN-10: 0066620023
Crossing your own particular chasm
You are likely to run into a number of different barriers before you can say the project to introduce online meetings has crossed the chasm.
Managerial Commitment
You may struggle to win support for online meetings without the involvement of senior line management. They are likely to be interested in setting targets, and so it is useful, if you are the person who is driving the change, to provide reports to managers, hold briefings and make sure you keep you commit them to gving you feedback.
Technical Commitment
You'll need to "do your sums". Estimate the benefits in comparison with conventional meetings and other potential investments in business improvement. Find the most influential sponsor you can. You may need to sell online meeting as a leading edge project, or play it down according to the culture of your organisation. It is essential to create the conditions where IT support is behind what you are trying to do.
User Commitment
You must provide satisfaction and you may even have to provide rewards (tangible and intangible) to encourage people to take part. You'll need to ensure the meetings tools are accessible and easily available to all when they need them. People must have the time, budget and tools to reach mastery quickly. Look for local support and champions (advocates). It may sound like a paradox, but try to maintain personal contact with them face-to-face and not just online.

Adoption Strategies
To help to recognise the stages that people may be passing through towards trust and support for online meetings, we have adapted a model of change that appeared way back in 1986 in a magazine article by American academic, Diane Dormant. The ABCD's of managing change. In M. Smith (ed.), Introduction to performance technology. Washington, DC.: National Society for Performance and Instruction.
Stage 1 Ignorance:
At first people don't know what they don't know. They are indifferent to the use of online meetings because they have no knowledge of them. You need to take a leaf from the book of the advertising professional. Do not go too deeply into logical argument or persuasion. Expose people to intriguing messages, slogans and eye-catching statistics. Be brief, be lively and positive. Try viral marketing using the full range of social media (Twitter, Facebook, and so on). Publish good news stories and act as Champion to pass on messages about new methods of meeting that will resonate with those who hear them.
Stage 2 Anxiety:
Raising awareness won't stop people from fretting over how meeting online will affect them personally. Will they have difficulty and spend time dealing with problems? Will the system crash? Will they look foolish in front of their colleagues or managers? Will they come away from meetings with all boxes ticked? Will they miss important information if the participants are not physically present? Now you need to take on the personality of a counsellor, reassuring participants with honest and authentic facts. Respond with sympathy, or pre-empt real fears by revisiting all the positive benefits of meeting online. If you are introducing online meetings as an enterprise-wide change, then you might think of giving vent to concerns through focus groups, road shows or FAQs on a website where you can gather questions, concerns and misapprehensions and then deal with them at future stages in this model for change.
Stage 3 Curiosity:
As long as you continue to answer questions in a cool, calm and open manner, people will move on from "how does this affect me?" to "go on then; show me". This is an important shift from self-protection to accepting that there is going to be a change in how they do meetings. As Champion you must now explain the process, features and benefits of online meeting in some detail. You might put together some case material such as video talking heads or a panel of witnesses – trusted colleagues who have piloted the change. As soon as it's available you should use qualitative data about the results of meeting online. Demonstrate how webinars (for example) can reduce time spent in meetings while increasing the amount of useful information that a participant can process, make meetings more dynamic and focused, and so on. Show it as more inclusive, closer to individual needs, more flexible, accessible and effective and participants will soon be ready to try it out for themselves.
Stage 4 Readiness:
Once they are ready to take part, people may still be unsure about how colleagues or managers will react to what they are doing. Now you become trainer/coach, teaching people how to take part, deal with resistance and derive maximum benefit from meeting online. As they learn from one another, participants will themselves become advocates and fend off the "nay sayers". Look out for positive shifts in attitude due to emerging and measurable results, and make capital of them.
Stage 5 Acceptance:
Ready, willing and able to use new methods of meeting, participants now begin to enjoy personal benefits. You may be hearing technical or procedural questions, or the exchange of suggestions for improvement. Now your role is implementer, as people relax, introducing more challenging or more ambitious activities that use the new methodology.
A continuous performance improvement approach permeates the project. Listen for and act upon ideas for modifying materials and procedures. Ensure any defects are fixed and watch the project gets ever closer to the personalities and preferences of users.
Stage 6 Fatigue:
As people become regular and practised users, they may experience a sense of boredom or dissatisfaction. The sense of novelty and innovation has faded and they want greater challenge, more variety or more ambitious forms of interaction. Now you pass into the ultimate role of maintenance. Keep manuals, reusable items such as welcome slides, action plans and agendas, as well as the software, hardware and success stories fresh and up to date, otherwise disillusionment will set in. Encourage participants to express their own suggestions and assurn them that they will be shared and given consideration.
Above all, each link must be reinforced between the newly-adopted methods of meeting and the goals of the organisation. No-one should stop striving for other, even more effective and innovative ways of reaching those goals.
Cultural differences
In 2004 a study of executives from 303 companies concluded that the best meetings involve lots of sharing of documents and visual information. The greatest productivity comes not from presenting and reviewing data, but from having everyone on the same page working towards a common goal.
Online meeting tools do this very well. The British seem to take to it better than their French and German counterparts. UK business managers more than others said they thought viewing documents together was the greatest benefit in driving productivity.
French and German managers rated being able to see facial expression. Even with video it is difficult to observe body language and facial expression. However with a little knowledge, skill and practice you can use various features and techniques in a virtual meeting in order to pick up other cues to test mood and motives.
We are not recommending that you go online to socialise or meet new people for the first time. However our opening premise was that online meetings might save you from ruin at times when it is not possible to meet in the conventional way. In those circumstances, there are many useful tricks and techniques you can apply for building rapport and a team-working spirit.
What next?
Part six of this ten-part series is about designing your meeting, using the right combination of media. We'll talk about the use of text and imagery and how to achieve a good balance and engage people without over-engineering the design. We'll post it in a couple of days time, so do please come back.
We're hoping you will add your own ideas to these blog items too, so we can create of it something that is representative of the experience of a wide range of practitioners and helps us all to understand what works and what doesn't.

Women who are nearing retirement age or already there can get some advice for what can be a scary next step in their lives.
The book, "Project Renewment" is specifically designed for the largest generation of career women to ever retire.
Authors Bernice Bratter and Helen Dennis wrote the book to give the pre-boomer and baby boomer generation of pioneer women a trailblazing retirement model.
The term 'renewment' is coined because so many of these women reject the word 'retirement', and the authors hope to grow a grassrooots movement of women's groups along with the book.
A book signing event with Helen Davis will be held at the Orlando Marriot in Lake Mary on February 8 at 4PM. The event is free and open to anyone who wishes to attend.
The event is being hosted by the Symphony Financial Team, and they are planning to start a Project Renewment women's group after the event.
To reserve a place at the event please contact Jen Ferguson at 407-792-5576 or email@example.com

what does that mean? does that mean he doesn't trust eli not to throw picks? I don't think we are anymore likely to lose the ball on a pass play vs a run play at the moment.
I agree with that, I think we started to towards the end it's just that Donnel was stripped twice, that said in my opinion, our defense was the reason we lost that game.
I thought our offense was fine, wish we could run the ball more effectively (besides Hillis when it was 2nd or 3rd and forever) I'm a little sick of just WIDE open Receivers in our secondary with no...

I don't think hysteria is warranted (or useful in any situation) but a healthy and HIGH level of concern for the way this has all been handled thus far definitely is warranted.

Manufacturing Bloom
December 07, 2009
A few weeks after the 2008 presidential election, United Steelworkers President Leo Gerard got a call from an Obama transition aide frantic for advice on the collapsing auto industry. Gerard put his numbers guy on the call, a former investment banker named Ron Bloom, who proceeded to offer a detailed disquisition on the financial situations of GM and Chrysler. Unlike other experts the transition team had consulted, Bloom was refreshingly blunt about the companies' prospects, which he deemed grim.
What's So Great About Fiat?
March 31, 2009
Announcing his auto industry plan yesterday, President Obama had this to say about a possible Chrysler-Fiat merger: Recently, Chrysler reached out and found what could be a potential partner -- the international car company Fiat, where the current management team has executed an impressive turnaround. Fiat is prepared to transfer its cutting-edge technology to Chrysler and, after working closely with my team, has committed to build -- building new fuel-efficient cars and engines right here in the United States. Which made me wonder: What's up with this Fiat turnaround of which the presiden

2012 Fantasy Football DEF Rankings – Week 9
With an exciting eighth week under our belts, here are the LestersLegends 2012 Week 9 fantasy football team defense rankings.
1. Green Bay Packers
The Packers rank 12th in scoring defense (21.3 ppg) and 13th in total defense (342.1 ypg). They are tied for the lead league with 26 sacks. They face the Cardinals, who rank 31st in scoring offense (15.9), 31st in total offense (289.9), and have allowed a league high 39 sacks.
2. Chicago Bears
The opportunistic Bears rank seventh in total defense (316.0) and second in scoring defense (14.3). They face the Titans rank 24th in total offense (326.6) and 21st in scoring offense (20.3). If the Bears' league-best run defense can contain Chris Johnson, there is trouble for the Titans.
3. Detroit Lions
The Lions rank ninth in total defense (326.4) and 23rd in scoring defense (24.9). They face the Jaguars, who rank dead last in both categories (250.9, 14.7).
4. San Diego Chargers
The Chargers rank tenth in total defense (326.6) and tied for ninth in scoring defense (20.6). They face the Chiefs, who rank 12th in total offense (367.3) and tied for 28th in scoring offense (17.1). They rank second in run defense, and the Chiefs often forget to get Jamaal Charles involved.
5. Seattle Seahawks
Seattle ranks fifth in run defense, which is the only thing the Vikings have going for them. They also rank fifth in total defense (312.0) and third in scoring defense (16.8). Ponder is out of sync and playing in Seattle won't help.
6. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens had a bye to try to figure out how to deal with all the injuries. They get Cleveland, who ranks 29th in total offense (314.8) and 25th in scoring offense (19.3).
7. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings are reeling a bit, but had some extra time to lick their wounds. They rank 11th in both total defense (331.8) and scoring defense (20.9). They get the Seahawks, who rank 30th in total offense (303.0) and 27th in scoring offense (17.5).
8. Houston Texans
I don't love the match-up with Buffalo from a defensive standpoint, but this is the team that ranks third in total defense (283.0) and sixth in scoring defense (18.3).
9. Miami Dolphins
They are truly an underrated defensive unit. They rank 22nd in total defense (363.0) and fifth in total defense (18.0). The Colts move the chains, but only rank 24th in scoring (19.4).
10. Denver Broncos
The Broncos are playing some really good football. They rank eight in total defense (319.3) and 14th in scoring defense (21.7). They get the Bengals, who are middle-of-the-road in both total and scoring offense.

I never thought I'd ever see MMA-style fighting on the floor of a subway train. Click on the source to check it out. It's pretty effing intense. It's also absolutely horrifying. Ladies, seriously, there is no reason for you to be conducting yourselves like this in public.

|This one is alright but I'm a bit upset that we didn't climb La Cosita, Right instead. We only had time for one more route and the sustained finger crack that is La Cosita, Right looks like a ton of fun. Left is fun if you're in the mood for stemming and a few fun lie-back moves.

text: Change For BetterIt was a slow process. A frightning, uncomfortable, slow process. Not painful, no... In a way it was, pleasurable? Becoming something else, becoming something new. Like a clean slate. I had no name, no identity to hold high. No pictures, no recordings or writings or drawings. It's not like I hadn't existed before, it is just that noone cared much for my existence. Who would care for me anyways, a slithering parasite on the face of the planet, squirming with all the other slithering parasites. It wasn't until now I actually had a chance, a chance to be something. But who knows how long this would last, my new form. My long white mane, my tall figure, my eyes- those purple eyes. I never knew sight before, and now with this new-found sense I realize that I had been really missing out. Color and shades, the light and even the dark, all things I was blind to. It's a sad fact, that some creatures are born into a world of darkness, lacking hands to touch or a voice to sing with. Almost

Well I was, but less than a week from release with only one screen shot, Ubisoft not even making the effort to reconcile whether the game will run on Windows XP, and Rocky being too afraid to even post his review of the game -- my enthusiasm, and even hope is a bit dashed at the moment.

Many Fans later noticed that there is conflicting information on Steam (the spec was changed several times) on various e-tailer outlets, and asked Ubisoft for clarification (on the forums, via snail and email, and by phone) as yet no one has received a clarification that was promised 'soon' nearly a month past...
If you have official, final information I'm sure a lot of people would love to hear it...

Well, now its been delayed Not too surprising really, based on the lack of communication from them so far. Though they have clarified some things, no LAN, and XP support is coming after launch as a patch.
Gawd, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it could have been a late cancellation -- but if those four scream shots are actual PC material; epic yuck and what a disappointment... Not a visual improvement from the MexBox with the typical ghetto 'over-the-top look-at-me' camera based post-processing effects (I supposed the 'Ghosts' now have surgical camera eye replacements), and an additional three weeks waiting for crap I don't want...I hope I lose all interest by then...

Scratch the southern Peruvian city of Cuzco off my visit-now list. I don't want what happened to Jennifer Wolfrom, Meghan Doherty, and Jed Wolfrom (on their hiking trip) to happen to me. And you gotta love the embassy's response. Why fly the American flag if not to help Americans who were just savagely beaten? Not that I would be traveling right now.

Colombia seemed dangerous both times i went. And Panama had an ominous feeling to it. Of course, it was the 80s!!!!
I was in Panama in the latter part of the 1980s; I never really got the feeling there was anything particularly dangerous about the place….except at the end of course…I was transferring out of there when all hell broke loose…..k
I am glad they are okay… I would only take a trip like that with an experienced local guide.
Why would anyone think that State would help an American citizen after Benghazi?
It will get better now that Kerry, a Vietnam veteran, is in charge. NOT!
I have a terrible premonition about John Kerry…I don't think things will end well for him…I guess we'll see though…k
