text: An Intelligence Test (1 of 2) You probably know by now I was raised by a single father who was a university football coach by profession (and personality). My dad was only 24 years old when I was born so he only knew how to parent like he coached. Like Tom Hanks said in the movie A League of Their Own, "There's no crying in baseball!" Well, there is definitely no crying in football… so there was no crying in our household. You got used to hearing two things in our house: either "Stop your sniveling and tough it out" or "Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about!" The last one always baffled me. If I was already crying I probably already came up with a pretty good reason. Anyway, the point is I was taught to control my emotions, to disconnect from what I was feeling and handle most situations mentally. I have found many people of my generation, and most definitely those before me, were raised with very similar beliefs. The term "emotional" came to mean weak, out of control and even childish. "Don't be a baby!" we say to the little boy who is crying on the playground. "Leave him alone! Let him work it out!" and we admonish the little girl who runs to help the little boy. On the other hand, our abilities to memorize and problem-solve, to spell words and do mathematical calculations, are easily measured on written tests and slapped as grades on report cards. Ultimately, these intellectual abilities dictate which college will accept us and which career paths we're advised to follow. However, this is the conundrum we are discovering: intellectual intelligence (IQ) is usually less important in determining how successful we will become than emotional intelligence (EQ). We all know people who are academically brilliant and yet are socially inept and unsuccessful. What they are missing is emotional intelligence. This will become more and more true in the structure of this new economy. We are now living in a more social economy, where transparent communication, authenticity and social proof are the key values. Success in the new economy is far more relational than it is intellectual. And when it comes to human relationships, it will be your emotional intelligence, not your intellectual intelligence, that will become your advantage. Research vets this out: The U.S. Air Force started selecting recruiters primarily based on their EQ scores and not their academic background. They found a three-fold increase in success by those they hired based on EQ scores alone. This gave them an immediate gain of $3 million annually, and led to the secretary of defense ordering all branches of the armed forces to adopt this procedure in recruitment and selection—something you might consider as well when recruiting for your business. Partners in a multinational consulting firm were tested for the difference in their EQ. Those who scored higher delivered $1.2 million more than their counterparts—a 139% incremental gain. Jobs of medium complexity (sales clerks, mechanics) are 12 times more productive if they have high EQ. Those in the most complex jobs and who are top performers (insurance salespeople, account managers) are 127% more productive than an average performer. At L'Oreal, sales agents with high EQ sold $91,370 more than other salespeople did, for a net revenue increase of $2,558,360—plus they were 63% less likely for turnover. Bottom line is competency research in over 200 companies and organizations worldwide suggests success at work is about one-third technical skill and cognitive ability while two-thirds is due to emotional competence. In top leadership positions, over four-fifths of the difference is due to emotional competence. Now that you know how important this topic and competency is, in the next post I will offer you a suggestion on how to test if you are being a "jerk at work" and in other areas of your life. You might be surprised at what you didn't know about yourself! How were you raised? Praised for intellectual accomplishments or emotional development? Share your experiences in the comments below. Comments comments 33 responses to "An Intelligence Test (1 of 2)" This blog was… how do I say it? Relevant! ! Finally I have found something that helped me. Many thanks! unique and written by them.a professional blog… writer can help a blog to rank higher in the search engines by using important keywords and phrases needed for business marketing needs. be sure the blog writer knows which phrases are best for your blog and that they use them… Great post Darren- I thought this line is the key to the future: "where transparent communication, authenticity and social proof are the key values." Harnessing what neuroscience is teaching us about how we can learn emotional intelligence is the answer and it's also my quest. Excellent post Darren! We realize and agree that in today's new world it's time to get real! Thanks for sharing! @Hayat,I DID NOT accept losing my family. I have been imprisoned unjustly in the highest security prison in the UK because of my attempts to expose the TRUTH and have my family return to me. I have done nothing WRONG or BAD. My wife has made 3 definite attempts to return to me after having LIED to the authorities about me in the first place. My purpose in life at this time and since I lost my family 3 1/2 years ago IS to have my family back with me. I will NEVER accept losing them. Only recently a 4th attempt was hinted at by a mutual friend of both my wife and myself but this has also apparently failed and just today I instigated divorce proceeding against my wife in the hope she will come clean on the whole subject. Billy Shaw, I sincerely sympathise with you. But you lost your family only bcos you accepted loosing them. You will surely reagain them anytime you promised yourself to regain your family. Always remember; your paradise today is in your heart. runescape,mmorpg,gold guide… […]An Intelligence Test (1 of 2) | Darren Hardy, Publisher of SUCCESS Magazine[…]… @Hayat, I have been hurt tremendously by the loss of my family since 2nd Sept. 2008. I have tried to use my EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, as promoted by Darren, to have my family to return to me but so far it hasn't worked. I believe the seeking of happiness is THEE most important search for all of humankind and if more nations were to think along those lines then knowledge and financial security would NATURALLY follow. With academic intelligence, you seek for more knowledge, with financial intelligence you seek for more wealth and with emotional intelligence you seek for more happiness. The world will be a better place if emotional literacy is achieved. I was born in the 40's on a farm in a poor family. With 8 hungry people sitting at the table, crying wouldn't get you that last biscuit. Even today my wife tells me I eat too fast because of my childhood. Excellent Article Darren. Keep up the good work. @Billy Shaw, Good for you Billy. We are in support of you! […] We all know people who are academically brilliant and yet are socially inept and unsuccessful. What they are missing is… CLICK HERE TO READ REST OF POST […] @Darren Hardy, i did not point a finger at my brother, i just forwarded your article to him in the hope he begins to recognise the STRENGTH of my emotions. you suggest that I need to change when your article is stressing the importance of EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE? i want my family back and i intend to use my EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE for as long as it takes to achieve that goal. My emotions are high at this time in my life due to the loss of my family and my supposedly high IQ brother suggests that I move on and forget my wife of over 20 years and our 2 daughters as if they didn't exist. i fail to understand your reply to me especially when your article is promoting EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE @Billy Shaw, That doesn't sound like the high IQ (or nice) thing to do Billy. Tell him what YOU learned and where YOU need to change and maybe he will see something in it for him… but not at the end of a finger point. @Barry Schlouch, I love that you worked on your EI. I wish more people would do the same. It's HARD WORK to work through your emotions and issues, but always worth it. It even brings health to your body. I'd guess your family is very blessed to have you in it! Wish more were like you. I am forwarding your email to my brother who believes he has high IQ but I believe he lacks EQ. i am going to forward your email to my brother who believes he has high IQ but i believe he lacks EQ. Stay tuned, Bob! More help is on the way! Kudos for breaking the cycle, Nina! I've ALWAYS been a "walk it off" person myself, but that doesn't have to me uncaring or non-empathetic. Winners put themselves in someone else's shoes and think with both their minds and their hearts before they speak. My number one goal these days is to listen more than I talk. When I do that I am infinitely more effective!! Cheers to you Mr Hardy~You've come a long way!! […] Here's an article by Darren Hardy discussing emotional intelligence. […] I was born in 1941 near Sydney Australia.. My father was never emotionally connected with me..hard worker, drunk regularly and often violent. Mum,sister and I often hid from him. Sober he was no problem but I think because he was a young man in the depression he suppressed feelings, The stiff british upper lip culture didn't help either. So I don't blame him for it….it was the culture then. In Australia we had "cubs" for 8 yr olds which is based on the stories of Rudyard Kipling, and even there we were told not to cry ! So I became a successful (? ) engineer but I believe lack of EQ has held me back, despite trying to 'get it perfect' with additional technical courses.. I still find it difficult relating to people, especially on the phone. So thank you Darren for the wake up call..I look froward to hearing more. yep… I sell heating and air conditioning and I work with the best sales person I've ever met. You know what he knows about heating and air conditioning? Not a whole lot. You know what he has? He is absolutely PASSIONATE about whatever it is he is talking about. his enthusiasim is contagious. Again.. these are boilers…. and air conditioning systems… toally passionate. It was only towards the end of my maths teaching career that I figured this out! Thanks Darren for stressing this point now. So many of us need to be constantly reminded of it for us, our kids and our grandkids. Hi Darren, Very important subject. I was raised not being allowed to show emotions – and being a soft girl they laughed at me every time I was crying since I was a little baby. My father hit me until I was 17. At that time I had collected courage enough to look him into his eyes and say – If you hit me I will hit you again. After that he stopped. But it has been a journey for me to become a decent person, to be tolerant and love my neighbourgh. Very severe illness and the touch of Gods hand has changed my life into a wonderful a positive life. And you know something!! My two girls have been raised with unlimited love and they are now wonderful women in their 30th and have completed my family with two great sons in law and beautiful grandchildren. I feel truly blessed and know for sure that IQ is nothing worth without emotional intelligens. Kudos, Barry! EQ has explained the success of many people. New brain imaging techniques back up what many have written about the power of high EQ and its cousin, Social Intelligence. Also part of the reason for my book, The Intelligent Nurse. Raised in an abusive alcoholic environment. Through many years of counseling and hanging on to the truth of the Bible I am so very blessed to be where I am today! Thanks Darren! I too am looking forward to part 2!! Great post, goes along with being happy and you will do well. Easy ways to boost the bottom line hire those who get along with others, are happy with themselves and know themselves. How were you raised? Praised for intellectual accomplishments or emotional development? Darren, I was raised similar to yourself with a tough it out approach and felt rewarded for working hard. When I met my wife, Deb at age 18 and married with our little boy on the way at 19, it changed my life. The tough it out approach was no longer constructive as a husband and parent for a long term positive relationship, marriage, or friendship. For almost ten years I spent 3 hours every Saturday with a Clinical Psychologist to develop my emotional intelligence. The result = world class health, family (35 years of marriage), career (29 years in business and growing), team and positive influence on others (both of our children now work with me in our family business and we are best friends). Looking back, I would not change a thing. I feel blessed for having the "tough it out approach" childhood. It's help me become the person I am today and I'm able to better understand, connect, and help with people that seem stuck on EQ. Excellent post Darren. Thanks, Barry I like this post a lot. I was rased by a military father and mother who taught my brothers and me along the same principles so i'm working in this. Can't wait for part 2!

I flew on a Delta Shuttle 737-800 from LGA to DCA. I was totally impressed on take off. The plane seemed to accelerate faster than any plane that I have been on. When reach rotation speed the plane rocketed into the sky (I almost lost my stomach). The plane was half full and most people had only carry on luggage. I not sure if this was why the plane seemed like a rocket or is the plane just over powered.

From April 26 to 28, the first part of ''Improving Hospital Governance in Libya'' project has been completed with the diplomas award ceremony for the 70 hospital managers who successfully passed the final tests of the first national training program in hospital governance. Representatives of the Libyan Ministries of Health, Planning and Finance and Social Affairs, local universities and hospitals, who have been actively involved in the project's activities also attended the event.
During the closing conference, a framework agreement for cooperation in the areas of training and scientific research has been signed between the Libyan Board of Medical Specialties and the European Institute of Oncology (IEO), one among the institutions involved in the projects.
The training program – articulated into10 thematic workshops on hospital management and organization - represents the first component of the whole project. As final output , a Position Paper on Hospital Governance in Libya will be presented next June, prepared by a dedicated working group composed of representatives of the involved Libyan institutions, as well as by Italian and international specialists.
The project is promoted and coordinated by Eni North Africa in the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding for Social Project signed in September 2006 with Gaddafi Development Foundation (GDF) and National Oil Corporation (NOC).
Cerismas, a research institute of the Italian University Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in the area of health care management, is implementing the project activities, with the participation of an excellence network composed of international university institutes, (University of Muenster, Centrum für Krankenhaus-Management), health private companies (Gemelli General Hospital, European Oncology Institute), multinationals (IBM, General Electric, Johnson & Johnson Medical, ItalTBS) and Italian public institutions (Ministero della Salute italiano)

With healthcare costs continuing to increase, individuals have used Health Savings Accounts (HSA) to help manage their health care costs by paying for deductibles and other medical expenses with tax-free money set aside in an HSA, and preserving the use of health insurance for more catastrophic events. This has been an effective strategy because insurance companies offer High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) with low premiums for those willing to pay for routine health expenses on their own. Obamacare threatens this approach by implementing minimum coverage thresholds that insurance plans must satisfy in order to operate.
Currently, using HDHPs in conjunction with HSAs, individuals can contribute money to their HSAs to help protect themselves in the event they have to pay the high deductible. Money is contributed to an HSA and withdrawn tax-free when used to pay for qualified medical expenses. Unlike other health savings vehicles, such as an FSA, the funds in an HSA never expire year to year, so consumers can accumulate substantial funds for future medical expenses.
Under the PPACA, the "actuarial value" threshold will divide health plans into tiers to determine the coverage threshold for that plan. For example, a health insurance plan at the "gold" tier, must have an actuarial value of 80%, meaning the plan must pay for 80% of each insured's medical expenses. The lowest tier, bronze, must have an actuarial value of 60%, or cover 60% of medical expenses. HDHPs currently cover a lower a percentage of an insured's medical expenses and will be required to provide higher reimbursement rates with lower deductibles, which will in turn cause higher premiums. This not only jeopardizes the future of the HDHPs, but HSAs as well, because, currently, HSAs can only be used with HDHPs.
This is important to note. For many healthy Americans, using HDHPs, which allow coverage at a low premium, together with HSAs, has been a way to manage their health care costs. While the sole intention of the PPACA is to not eliminate HSAs, in theory, it does make them less valuable in the future.

Boeing won massive orders in China at the Hong Kong air show Tuesday, including the largest Dreamliner order in three years and a much-needed sales boost for Boeing's new 747-8 jumbo passenger jet.
Boeing won massive orders in China at the Hong Kong air show Tuesday, including the largest Dreamliner order in three years and a much-needed sales boost for Boeing's new 747-8 jumbo passenger jet.
The orders for 43 wide-body planes are worth nearly $6 billion after typical discounts, and more than $10 billion at list prices.
On the opening day of the Asian Aerospace show, Hong Kong Airlines signed a memorandum of understanding for 32 Dreamliners and six 777 freighter jets.
Separately, Chinese flag carrier Air China announced an order for five 747-8 Intercontinental passenger planes.

Most Read Stories
At list prices, the Hong Kong Airlines order is worth $8.5 billion. With standard discounts, the actual value estimated by aircraft-valuation firm Avitas is just over $5 billion.
The Dreamliner order consists of 30 of the larger model 787-9s and two VIP versions of the initial 787-8 model.
It's the first Dreamliner order commitment this year. When finalized, it will bring the 787 sales tally up to 875.
Sales had slowed after the many program delays, and recently Boeing had lost orders due to cancellations, so this deal comes as a welcome reaffirmation of confidence in the new jet.
Hong Kong Airlines is part of the HNA Group of airlines, the largest of which is Hainan Airlines.
The order confirms that the larger 787-9, seating 250 to 290 passengers, is gaining appeal with airlines. Though at the moment it accounts for less than 30 percent of total Dreamliner orders, many analysts believe it could eventually be the more popular version.
The Air China deal buoys the prospects of Boeing's latest and largest version of the jumbo jet, which has faced slow sales.
Air China becomes the third airline to order the passenger version.
That order is worth $1.6 billion at list prices. With the expected discounts, based on Avitas data, the real value is about $830 million.
The new 747-8 features a new wing, an upgraded flight deck and modified versions of the 787 Dreamliner's General Electric engines.
It carries 467 passengers in a three-class configuration.
Air China is one of the world's largest airlines and has been flying earlier models of the 747 since the 1980s.
Previously, Germany's Lufthansa had ordered 20 of the new passenger planes, and Korean Air had ordered five of the passenger models and five of the freighter models.
In addition, there have been eight orders for the VIP version of the airplane.
The government of Kuwait has ordered two of them, including the first one that rolled out of Boeing's Everett factory to great fanfare last month.
For the rollout, that jet sported an orange, red and gold paint job designed to appeal to Asian airlines.
Boeing also has 74 orders for the freighter version of the 747-8, which is to deliver first to air-cargo carrier Cargolux of Luxembourg around midyear.
Although Boeing has a definitive agreement with Air China, it will not immediately book the order. It will await formal approval from the Chinese government, which is expected soon.
When the order is booked, the total 747-8 sales tally will rise to 112.
Asian Aerospace, China's biggest commercial-aviation show, runs through Thursday.

300 Buried Alive In Taiwan Village

TAIPEI: About 300 people are estimated to have been killed by a massive landslide that wiped out much of a village in southern Taiwan, news agency reports quoted a government official, as saying on Friday.
The tragedy is said to have taken place in the village of Hsiao Li.
The official death toll in Taiwan from "Typhoon Morakot" till last weekend stood at 116.
The worst floods in decades washed out roads, snapped bridges and sent low-rise buildings crashing into rivers, according to the latest statement by the disaster agency.
Pressure is mounting on Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou to expedite operations to rescue hundreds of residents of remote mountainous villages buried or stranded in the aftermath of the typhoon.

My Body Rebels Against Me
Saturday, April 06, 2013
When I say calorie in minus calorie out doesn't work for me, I mean it. My body will adapt my metabolism to nearly any input I give it. In my past two years of maintenance, I've learned a lot about how my body responds.
If I decrease calories and increase exercise, I get sleepy. That's my body trying to preserve my calories so I use less fuel. How do I reverse this? I have to eat. Almost immediately after I eat, I feel more alert. Whenever I feel my energy dragging or needing a nap, I know that my body is trying to put me into low power mode. It's rather frustrating because there's all these calories in my fat just doing nothing, and my body would rather I took a nap.
I cannot eat 200g of carbohydrates, whether that is simple or complex carbs. That causes my body mechanisms to override my appetite control. I don't have a shutoff valve. Wheat grains causes my stomach to bloat. Starches are ok in moderation.
I wish I understood how to get my body to burn the stored fat better. If I exercise more, it wants to put me to sleep. If I eat fewer calories, I'll start maintaining on fewer calories. It's really hard to keep the calories high when I eat only clean freggies and protein. Grains are extremely calorie dense and it's easy to go over 2000 calories, but it's pretty darn hard when you don't eat grains.
I lost 2lbs this week, but my bodyfat and measurements are the same. It was probably just water loss and not any real gains. But I know I AM stronger as I am pushing a heavier weight than before. So, how can some muscle not have been built? I'm scratching my head.
I think my bodyfat is not really what I estimate it to be. I use bioimpedence, and yes, I know it is inaccurate. I just want a ballpark figure, but I think my ball is out of the stands. The reality is more likely my body shape isn't what I expected it to be because my bodyfat is higher than I think it is. 28% is the high side of normal, and if it's higher...well...then I'm still overweight.
I'm a little farther from my goal than I thought when I woke up this morning.
So now what do I do? Work on strength, or fat loss? I don't believe I can do both. Even if I theoretically lost all the fat today, I'd still have a body shape that I don't want.
I have an idea...but...I'm going to do an n=1 experiment before I say more.

Then my bodyfat should be a lot lower. I definitely carry the weight in all the wrong places!

Any body fat estimate is going to be inaccurate. Besides, for women the "healthy" ranges are nearly meaningless because a % cannot take into account WHERE the fat is stored. We have breasts, bigger butts, and padding to protect our reproductive organs, and that skews the numbers. So, my point is: focus on strength training. You may not be able to change what your body does to store fat, but you can certainly change what your body is capable of doing!

Leigh Peele (leighpeele.com) had a blog where she posts pictures of men and women at different body-fat levels, and suggests that pictures may be a better way of estimating body fat % over time. Do you have comparison pics you could use to see your progress? I started taking pics a while back, and when I did my recent deficit to lose some body fat, I could really tell the difference. And it also showed on my bioimpedence scale (which for me I think overestimates my body fat %). I went from 27% to 23% while losing 10 lbs. And feel really good about how I look now.
I know you can do this! You have such a great way of experimenting with your habits, so just stick with it, give it the time, and watch the results!

Have you ever read Covert Bailey's "Smart Exercise"? He describes the Krebs cycle in very simple terms, and talks about the best time to take in carbs while exercising to burn more fat.
But, as we all know, everyone's body reacts differently. I hope you find what what works for you.

Work on strength and worry less about the fat loss. The fat loss will happen when you gain the strength. If you gain muscle, you'll be changing your BF%, regardless of whether you lose fat (but you will).
Maybe eat more bananas? I eat 1/2 a banana in a breakfast protein shake, or 1 banana in my shake after I work out. In the evening I have another one with more protein. I'm finding that I'm gaining muscle on about 1900-2100 calories/day. I'm sleeping well at night, and my muscles are easily recovering.
I think you're off from what you'd expect because you can't have gained muscle yet. You might feel the pump, but not real muscle growth. And you're probably retaining some water in your muscles. Try to eat to maintain your body weight and just focus on strength training (not fat loss) for four-six weeks. Then you'll have a better idea of how things are going, and can make adjustments from there.
I've done this for a month, and I'm not cutting calories yet, but I am trying to eat better food.
Some ladies on the NRoL4W FB page were talking about how to eat enough calories, and some just use a lot of coconut oil, avocados, etc... I eat a higher fat diet to compensate for the lower carb, and it has done me well, I think. The grains are just too addictive, and not at all satisfying.

Hello, 1st post
I just bought a Marin Ignacio with a Sturmey Archer 2 speed kickback hub. It is my first road style bike.
I really like the bike, but think I would like to play with the gearing some. They are listed as direct drive and an overdrive of 138%. It is advertised as coming with a 44t/17t gear ratio, but mine came out of the box with a 44t/24t.
I area of Florida I live is very flat. I am not really using the overdrive gear except for easier starts, but have to shift almost immediately. I am also wanting a easier / faster cruising gear.
What do you guys recommend? Would correcting the rear sprocket to a 17t give me more of what I want? What would happen if I changed the front to something like a 50t?
Thanks for any help

|W-P Graduate Desiree Washum among students recognized by Gov. Heineman
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 06 December 2012 18:27
Four graphic design students from McCook Community College were honored by Governor Dave Heineman last week at the State Capitol Building.
Trisha Rickel, Kasha Messersmith, Veronica Waddell and Desiree Washum were among those honored by the governor and Nebraska Education Commissioner Dr. Roger Breed.
"It was exciting to see our students recognized for their outstanding performance at the National level," said Lorrie Mowry, PBL Chapter co-adviser.
In June, she took 10 students to San Antonio for national competition, and they brought home ten, top-10 finishes.
"I'm proud of our students and the excellent education they are receiving at McCook Community College," Mowry said.
The two-member team of Trisha Rickel and Kasha Messersmith were recognized for placing first in the national Phi Beta Lambda desktop publishing competition while the team of Veronica Waddell and Desiree Washum, placed third in the nation in the same category. They are all graphic design students of Becky Meyers at MCC.
"I'm very proud of these students, it was a great opportunity for them to compete in this event," said Meyers. "It's more impressive what they accomplished when you consider they were competing against students from both four-year and two-year schools."
Last week's ceremony recognized students from Nebraska career student organizations who placed in the top three at the national level. The ceremony was followed by a reception at Governor Heineman's residence.
The national PBL competition took place in June in San Antonio. In addition to Mowry, the other PBL co-advisor is Janet Stalder.
Washum is the daughter of Misty and Richard Gilliam, Palisade.

Time to dance off the turkey, people.
This Week In Live Music: Fleetwood Mac, Sky Ferreira, & More
Hey, it's kind of cold! Sounds like a good excuse to huddle up inside your neighboring music venue for some soul- and body-warming music. These shows could very well save your life:
This Week In Live Music: Chromeo, Wolfgang Gartner, King Tuff, & More
Few cities embrace Halloween like San Francisco, and we partially credit the reliable abundance of live music events during the holiday. But, let's be honest, we're all just a bunch of weirdos who love to dress up, get down, and tip a few. Here's just where to do that this week.
A Wedding at The Great American Music Hall
When it came time for Jeni, who works at Pandora, and Mark, who's in a band called the Hustler Van Band, to decide on a wedding location, they opted for San Francisco's oldest historic night club venue that fit their eclectic taste and love for music: The Great American Music Hall.
Five Shows to Cure Your Noise Pop Hangover
Allen Toussaint, Wednesday, Yoshi's (Oakland)
Even if you have never heard of jazz legend Allen Toussaint, you have heard Allen Toussaint.
5 Shows to Open Your Heart and Wallet For This Week
May we suggest chasing your Valentine's Day love tonic with a musical back? We've got one V-Day concert on the docket and a bouquet of shows later in the week capturing our hearts, minds and ears:
Los Campesinos! Conquering the World One Gig at a Time
When the seven musicians involved in Los Campesinos! sing in unison, the effect is jarring, like hearing an entire generation of 20-somethings speaking all at once. They seem to speak for a world of youths with an exuberance for life and honest expression and exclamatory punctuation, subtlety be damned.
The infectious yet carnage-minded pop punk outfit from Cardiff, Wales, plays Great American Music Hall Friday night, and fans will be bouncing off ornate pillars and singing along to the band's anthemic songbook if past gigs are any indication.
Gigs of the Week: Lana Del Rey, Young the Giant, The Tubes, Ruthie Foster and More
Six shows to get you through this second week of February.
Five Live Music Shows to Buzz About This Week
Milk Carton Kids at Cafe Du Nord, Tuesday
This minimalist duo has won praise from folks at NPR and Spinner while perfecting a specific blend of Americana, 1950s classic folk and compelling narrative. They've been compared to Ryan Adams and Iron & Wine, and it fits — their soft hush affects on multiple levels, a mind/body/soul trifecta.
Seven Questions for Starfucker
Catchy, upbeat, danceable, addictive - Portland-based electro-pop group Starfucker (or STRFKR to some) is on the up-and-up. They took a minute to chat with us before swinging through the Bay Area later this week.
Welcome back to San Francisco! What's been happening with you guys since the last time you were here?

Sunday, January 20, 2013 Nightly, National, Synchronized Prayer ~ JESUS PRAYED FOR YOU!
John 17: 20-26
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
Dear Jesus, We praise You and love You. Thank You for being everything we need. Thank you for praying for us before our bodies were even formed. Thank you for bearing the burden of our sins, for suffering such a violent and painful death, for taking the burden of our sins upon You and asking God to forgive us as we helped place the nails in Your hands and feet. By Your stripes we are healed. By Your blood we are forgiven. We are in Your hands and cannot be removed. Jesus, the love the Father has for You is in us and You are in us. We have everything we need. Help us not fear or worry about anything. Let us fix our eyes upon You. Let us fall deeply and completely in love with You. Help us put You first and seek You first. May You be our joy and our crown. Precious Jesus, we pray Your blood over our lives and this prayer in Your holy and strong name. Amen and Amen!
Your Presence is Heaven to me! http://youtu.be/kQAwpMFS_9o
Welcome Family in Christ!
Thank you Debbie fpr leading us tonight with this comforting post. Knowing that I am being prayed for by Jesus comforts me. Thanks for this uplifting post. Hope to stay up long enough to be on but not real sure. I will be with you in my thoughts and prayers. Love and God Bless Maggie
Thank you, Debbie,
We must constantly remind ourselves that our strength is in the Lord. To love and to serve Him is our honor. For as just written here, He loved us and prayed for us before we were created.

Tomorow is a big day for our country. Many are concerned where this administration is taking us in the next four years. Certainly their true intent is not being revealed. Following tomorrow's ceremony, Mr. Obama may implement the remainder of his plan to transform our nation and I'm positive that none here on FC will be in compliance.
Our time to stand for our values and beliefs is approaching and more than ever, we must continue to prepare for whatever God will ask from us. I think that we have become different people in our past time on FC in our honest and persevering prayer. All hasn't been for naught. We are moving closer to being what God wants us to be, what we were created to be.
We must keep our eyes on the prize, the Kingdom of God, and not of this world. I especially enjoy this directive from Acts 5:29, We must obey God rather than men." Already there are many voices telling us what to think, what to do. We must ask God to let us hear His voice alone so that we know the right thing to do.
Thank you Debbie, I look at the problems facing so many and as Carol says remind myself the Lord gave His life for so many. I pray more often than I use to and depend on the Lord to lead me daily. I need him moreso in my life than ever.
+ Maggie, thank you. Take care! I know the colder temperatures make us all sleepy! Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers!
+ Maggie, thank you. Take care! I know the colder temperatures make us all sleepy! Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers!
+Carol, the Holy Spirit is inspiring you to write some beautiful things! Thank you for your post. I agree completely with what you said. As Maggie always says, God is in control and we can put our trust in Him. He will not leave us or forsake us. I always pray that no matter what comes, that He gives me the strength to always stand in His truth without fail. If indeed what is coming is what we think is coming, we will need supernatural strength.
Amen Deborah! Me too! Welcome everyone, good to be with you.
Thank you Debbie for leading us tonight. I agree with Maggie, it is indeed comforting knowing that Jesus prayed for us before we were born. We all are truly born blessed!

Today our home (in CA vs TX) pastor, Dudley Rutherford, reminded us that the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade is this Tuesday and over 55 million babies have been killed since the Supreme Court enacted this law. He also reminds us that there is a Biblical verse that condemns this nation and catch this it is Exodus 20:13 (2013)
Wow, Janette, I just got the chills reading what you wrote. 55 million babies...my heart aches and my soul cries out to the Lord.
Debbie, he went further and connected our 40 years with the 40 years of the Jews wandering in the wilderness.
The Freedom Connector is back I am here to pray Will read the posts
Very interesting.
Barbara, welcome! Glad you are here with us. I've been having trouble reloading my page as well.
As we prepare our hearts for prayer let's declare this Scripture out loud...
Ephesians 6:10-20 (NIV1984)
The Armor of God
As we prepare our hearts for prayer let's declare this Scripture out loud...
Ephesians 6:10-20 (NIV1984)
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Janette, what a connection from Pastor Dudley! The number 40 has much significance in the Bible, but I didn't see the relevance on my own.
Debbie, thank you. As Maggie, I realize that my inspiration is from the Holy Spirit. As all of the Prayer Warriors, I am asking for the right words. Whatever is spoken at this site may influence someone and we want it to be right.
Let us begin prayers for our nation and each other.....
Welcome back dear prayer partners. I invite you to post your thoughts and prayer requests for discussion and agreement.
Please pray for my sister. Her diaphragm is tipped and the doctors are doing tests to find out why. We are praying that it is not a tumor causing this.
Your sister has been in my prayers.
Thank you Barbara. How is your son?
Debbie, I'm sorry for your concern for your sister. She is in my prayers.
From my prayer book:
"Our prayers ascend to heaven's throne
Regardless of the form we use;
Our Father always hears His own
Regardless of the words we chose."
"God is always availabe to hear the prayers of His children."
Thank you Carol! That is beautiful.
Some of my posts disappeared. I have been having some trouble with Freedom connector today. It has really been a strange day today. I woke up to frozen pipes this morning. They didn't get fixed until almost three o'clock I am glad that it is Sunday, because I always have all my food prepared for Sunday. I had just enough water in the tea kettle for a cup of coffee. Then two days ago my facebook was hacked.

Then two days ago my facebook was hacked. this morning some very strange things appeared on my news feed They were messages in Arabic and when translated they tid not make sense. Thanks to some folks here on FC I was able to get rid of them "I think" Maybe we should have a little prayer. I don't know how one exorcises facebook though. Anyway the good news is that the manager has raised the thermostat so I will be warmer at night. It is supposed to go into the minus temps tonight and it is well on its way.
Well dear friends, thank you for being with me tonight. I love you all. Good night.

24 "'"The Lord bless you

25 the Lord make his face shine upon you

Barbara, I'm sorry you had so much trouble today. I pray tomorrow will be better for you. Stay warm tonight. Our temps are going down below zero too!
God bless.
Barbara, Our prayers are working, the other side is growing concerned.
evil is so arrogant.
making mistakes.

Hi there,
Welcome to Just Answer!
I would like to help you and your Ragdoll cat but need a bit more information in order to better assist you.
Is it one back leg or both that are effected?
When did this start?
Is she indoors only or does she go outside?
Ask Your Own Cat Question
replied 7 years ago.
She is an indoor cat. It is only her right back leg. She seems to be hobbling around a bit better this morning. Yesterday, I couldn't find her in the house. She had found a quiet place in a closet, away from the dogs and stayed there all day
replied 7 years ago.
Could you please go and carefully check her feet - is the back RIGHT foot cooler in temperature than her other feet?
Are there other animals in the home?
Ask Your Own Cat Question
replied 7 years ago.
We have 3 dogs and one other cat. All paws feel the same temperature
replied 7 years ago.
Are there any tufts of hair that are matted together?
Does she ever get into fights with the other animals?
Ask Your Own Cat Question
replied 7 years ago.
No, she was groomed recently so everything looks good. She doesn't fight with the other animals. We have a large home and the cats have a very large space of their own. The dogs are very calm. Im thinking she may have gotten her paw stuck somewhere and twisted it?
replied 7 years ago.
That's definitely possible!
There are a few things that I would consider in a cat this age.
1. She may have stretched or ruptured her cranial cruciate ligament. This is something humans get as well, but in humans it is called Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
The cranial cruciate ligament is one of the structures that stabilizes the knee joint. It is prone to problems. If the cat is in motion, and the lower leg is held still (by going down a hole, getting caught on a string, etc) while the upper leg keeps moving forward, there will be damage to this cranial cruciate ligament.
The symptoms seen are usually a sudden onset of hind-end lameness, with toe touching seen at standing and walking, but the cat often carries the leg when running.
Here is more information about this problem:
2. Your cat may have a fracture (broken bone) of one of the bones in the leg. I have seen this many times with a cat getting their toes jammed under something, and then twisting somehow and causing a fracture, usually in the foot area. Symptoms are a sudden onset of non weight bearing lameness, just as you are describing. X-rays would help to diagnose this.
Here is more:
3. It is also possible that your Ragdoll has dislocated her hip. This is a common dislocation and again could happen if she trapped his toes under something and then pulled. It is unlikely but certainly possible. With this, again you would have the symptoms of non-weight bearing lameness.
Here is more:
4. And the last thing that I would be thinking about would be a puncture wound.
This can happen from a sharp sliver, or a bite from another animal. When a bite occurs, what happens is that there are 2 puncture holes - one caused by the upper and one by the lower canine tooth. The animal's teeth have a lot of bacteria on them, and these bacteria get placed deep below the skin when the bite occurs. The hole is small and quickly scabs over, leaving the bacteria below there.
The most common type of bacteria in the cat mouth is Pasteurella multocida - and it LOVES to grow in a warm, moist environment that has no oxygen present. And that is exactly what you have with a bite wound!
So, the bacteria multiply, and the body sends in white blood cells to fight the infection, and soon you have a big pocket of pus and bacteria: an abscess! The abscess grows bigger until it ruptures and the pus pours out. This relieves the pressure and allows the hole to close over which then allows the process to start again. Bite wounds, ideally, should be treated with antibiotics within 24 hours of the bite. This prevents the bacteria from multiplying and forming an abscess in the first place.
Here is more information:
So, in summary, there are a number of different conditions that can all give these same symptoms you are describing in your cat.
In order to diagnose this, a veterinarian would have to perform a thorough orthopedic examination, and a neurological exam. The vet might well suggest an x-ray. For this part, it might be necessary to give your cat a pain killer to allow proper positioning for the x-ray without hurting her. I do think your cat needs to see a vet to have this looked at. Something is going on, and the sooner it is diagnosed and treated the better.
Unfortunately, there are NO safe pain killers that you can give at home to help your little one. Tylenol, advil, and aspirin are all very toxic to cats and should NOT be given!
So, since your cat seems to be in pain, I think you are better to see an Emergency Veterinarian today rather than waiting until tomorrow.
If this has been helpful, please accept my answer and leave feedback.
If you need more information, just click on reply and I will still be here to provide it!
The above is given for information only. Although I am a licensed veterinarian, I cannot legally prescribe medicines or diagnose your pet's condition without performing a physical exam. If you have concerns about your pet I would strongly advise contacting your regular veterinarian.

My oldest male cat had a seizure this evening. This site was the first place I could think of to go after the seizure had passed. Dr. Lucy was fantastic and she was spot on!
I must tell you I found this site by accident and was amazed when I asked a question of the Veteranians online. I wish I could have found it sooner it could have made such a difference in the outcome of my pet's surgery. However, I am passing along the information to my sister-in-law (a cat-rescue person who is also a nurse), and perhaps it will help someone else who may experience the same problem. The doctor who answered my question was amazing, and while it didn't come it time to change the outcome of my situation, it is reassuring to know the caliber of Vets/Doctors that you have at JustAnswer. Thank you for being there.

"I always thought film critics were full of shit," began Ethan Coen (pictured, right) while accepting an award Sunday night at the festive New York Film Critics Circle dinner in Times Square. He paused a healthy moment as the audience roared. "But this year you've shown a lot of taste and discernment." He then generously thanked the critics for their support of his and his brother Joel Coen's (left) new film. We'll have some iPOP images on indieWIRE on Tuesday, but here's one from my seat as the Coens accepted one of their three awards on Sunday night, including best picture, director and screenplay. I was thrilled to be seated with The Carpetbagger himself, David Carr, who offers a terrific rundown of the evening's big winners over at his New York Times blog. As always, the NYFCC dinner was a classy, entertaining affair, celebrating the best of the year and saluting the hard work done each week by New York's many terrific film critics. Cheers!

text: I have decided to host a fishing contest in Animal Crossing tonight. Get me your friend code / town name / character name and I'll add you. The gates open at 7 p.m. Make sure you have enough room in your inventory for four fish. Rather than a simple contest of "who can catch the most fish in __ minutes." I thought it would be more fun to see who can catch a set list of fish first. I will post the fish list on the bulletin board in my town and the winner gets fabulous prizes! Fish will be handed over to me before prizes will be awarded, so no cheating!

Monday marked the first day in stores for Three Twins Ice Cream's latest flavor: Sergio Romo's Mexican Chocolate. I got to check out the ice cream last night during the launch party at Mijita in the Ferry Building — tough assignment, I know.
The San Francisco Giants closer was the guest of honor, and Romo's flavor is surprisingly good. Not surprising in the sense that Three Twins came out with a great new flavor, their ice cream is fantastic … but I'm more of a Lemon Cookie guy. I usually don't go for chocolate ice cream or anything with cinnamon (except snickerdoodles, which are impossible to dislike).
But the flavors mixed really well, and the texture had a little something extra due to the cinnamon. It's also organic, for those of you who pay attention to that sort of thing. You can grab a pint at Whole Foods, select independent corner stores, natural food stores, and all of Three Twins scoop shops in Northern California.
Romo saved his 36th game on Sunday, and spoke afterward about how cool it was to pitch on the Yankee Stadium mound right after future Hall-of-Famer Mariano Rivera. He appeared similarly humbled when he and Three Twins founder Neal Gottlieb spoke about the new partnership, since there's a political angle to this new flavor that neither Romo nor the ice cream company based in Petaluma is shrinking from.
"I really want to thank Sergio for saying yes to this ridiculous idea, and for inspiring it with his t-shirt that he wore after the World Series parade," Gottlieb said. "Because we really feel like it's an important conversation to have in this country that is based on immigrants and is founded on people not just from Europe, but all over the world coming and building this country."
Each ice cream container reads:
"I just look illegal" is what Sergio Romo's shirt read when he marched down the streets of San Francisco after throwing out the last pitch of the 2012 baseball championship. We're continuing that conversation with Sergio Romo's Mexican Chocolate, which we like to say "only tastes illegal. We're also donating 1% of the sales of this delicious, made-in-America flavor to a Mexican environmental non-profit.
"This is something that not only means a lot to Neal and his staff at Three Twins Ice Cream, but also myself and my family as well," said Romo, who wore a black Team Mexico hat turned backward throughout the event. "Go figure, a little kid like me gets his face on an ice cream pint."
Romo tried the ice cream, and at 2:30 into the 3-minute video below, Neal referenced how Romo's dietary habits might change after the debut of Sergio Romo's Mexican Chocolate.
"He's going to come back looking like Sandoval next year," Gottlieb joked at 2:30 into this 3-minute video.
"Nah," Romo said while shaking his head.
