Warning: Most people don't often mean what they say.
"How to Efficiently Decode People's Inner Feelings and Emotions Through Their Body Movements, and How You Can Use This Knowledge to Succeed in Your Career, Relationships, and Personal Life!"
What I am about to tell you might shock you.
Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they didn't know is that actual verbal communication accounts to only around 10% (or even less) of the overall means to convey a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or sincerity of people by what they say alone. In fact, words transmitted verbally oftentimes do not reflect what
people really think or feel. The only way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language.
From [Self-Improvement-Millionaires Member Name]
Dear Friend,
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can "see through" the emotions of other people? Let's say you asked a person if he can do an important task. He says "ok." But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, "Is he really willing to do this job?" or "Does he have the confidence to finish this assignment?"
You can't question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not be indicative of what he really feels or thinks.
The ultimate solution? Read his body movements and gestures.
The Body Never Lies!
Through body language, you will be able to decode hidden emotions.
You may even decipher if a person is telling the truth or not. Moreover, you can apply body language techniques to convey your intentions to other people. This will ultimately lead you to a successful career and fruitful relationships.
Body Language Magic: How to Read and Make Body Movements for Maximum Success will teach you how to recognize various emotions or feelings such as nervousness, openness, anger, boredom, doubt, frustration, or excitement simply by observing facial expressions, postures, and gestures.
You can use the knowledge of body language to identify if confidence, dominance, and other characteristics are inherent in people. On the contrary, you may also perform these gestures when you want to convey certain personality traits to subconsciously influence others. Cool, isn't it?
After reading this book, you will never look at the world the same way again. You'll be able to immediately interpret certain actions and adapt to any situation.
Communicating with other people would become a much easier task. You will have a better understanding of people. It's like your eyes will be opened to the world for the very first time.
Check out SOME of the information you will find inside:
Body movements indicating interest.
Body movements indicating that a person is more open to agree with you.
How to know if a person is thinking.
Body movements indicating frustration or dismay
How action-oriented people act or move.
How to know if a person is keeping a secret.
Body movements indicating boredom
Signals conveying excitement
How confident people act or move.
Signals exhibiting authority or power
Body movements that signal anger.
Body movements that signal nervousness or tension.
How to know if a person is having suspicions of you.
Body movements for reassurance.
How a person acts to convey pride.
How to detect a liar.
How to read body movements more accurately.
Actions to make someone like or trust you.
How to build rapport.
How to dominate your counterpart in a negotiation.
The first thing to do in a negotiation.
How to increase your sales using body movements.

Help Maxi and Schnute get relocated to a sanctuary
Following the success of my last petition "Jette lives a miserable life" let's now do the same and be the voice for these two bears, Maxi & Schnute, who live in a terrible, tiny enclosure in Berlin.
For the last two years I have been fighting to rescue bears who often live a horrible life in zoos and circuses. I love bears and I feel especially sorry for Maxi & Schnute.
Maxi is 26 and Schnute in 31 years old. They have been a public attraction at Kollnischen Park, Berlin for many years. The bear pit is far from their natural habitats and at just 480 square metres, the space is not much bigger than a raised flower bed. As you can see from the photo, these are unacceptable conditions for two grown bears to be in.
Berlin ASPCA and welfare officers have been in favour of rehoming the bears for a long time now but international pressure is needed so that these two bears can be relocated to a sanctuary. Please be the voice for Maxi and Schnute and help them to live out the rest of their lives as bears should.

Dear Mayor Wowereit,
Please consinder letting Maxi and Schnute to be resettled to a Sanctuary. The enclosure they live in at the moment is far too small.
They also do not need to be used as a tourist attraction.
These two beautiful bears need to live out the rest of their lives being bears.

Lego Mindstorms NXT Robot Kit
If there's one Bluetooth accessory that can show the potential of this wireless technology while providing lots of fun, it's Lego's Mindstorms NXT ($200 in the U.S.). Basically, it's a bunch of motors, gears, cams and electronic parts that can be put together to create various robots that respond to programs you create and transmit via Bluetooth.
At first, it's a bit daunting to face the hundreds of tiny plastic parts to be snapped together. There are also sensors for distance, touch and sound, as well as three motors to breathe life into your robot. The robot's brain is the NXT controller box, which has a 32 bit ARM processor, 512KB of memory, a small screen and a Bluetooth module. Don't believe the promise that it takes 30 minutes to create your first robot; two hours is more like it.
Once it's together, you can wirelessly tell the robot to move, make noises and even pick up a ball with its claw. You program it using software on your Mac or Windows XP computer: Just drag activities into the interface and customise the action.
The programs are transmitted to the robot in a few seconds from up to 25 feet away. My robot connected on the first try, and a set of six AA batteries lasted for two hours.
Don't like your creation? Take it apart and start over. The only constraint on the variety of robots that Mindstorms NXT can create is your imagination.
Baracoda D-Fly Bar Code Scanner
Whether you're a salesperson needing to check whether a part is in the warehouse or a shopper looking for a bargain, Baracoda's D-Fly bar code scanner ($300 in the U.S.) can help. It accurately scans bar codes on the first try, and connects with a laptop or smart phone via Bluetooth.
The D-Fly can't tell you the price of an item. What it does do is retrieve an item's inventory number and paste it into any open application. From there, you can use the data to comparison-shop on the fly.
After I loaded the required software on my laptop, the D-Fly made the Bluetooth connection and was ready for action in a couple of minutes. I turned into a super-shopper when I went to my local department store with D-Fly and my laptop looking for a deal on a wireless router.

Tour bus carrying children crashes through guardrail in Bethesda; driver killed
Gene Thorp/The Washington Post
Wednesday, September 29, 2010; 11:11 PM
A tour bus carrying children and adults from a trip to Washington crashed through a metal guardrail and tumbled down the embankment of an Interstate 270 spur Wednesday afternoon, killing the driver, injuring about a dozen others and bringing rush-hour traffic to a standstill.
The bus, which carried 11 passengers, was heading north on an HOV flyover about 4 p.m. when it smashed through the guardrail and rolled about 45 feet down the hill, landing atop a Jersey wall along the shoulder of the highway below, officials said. The bus rolled once and landed upright but was never airborne, they said.
The driver of the bus was killed and the others onboard were taken to hospitals, said Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley. The driver was identified as Joseph A. Clabaugh Jr., 66, of Hanover, Pa.
The bus accident caused a secondary wreck between two cars, and one person from those vehicles also was hospitalized, Shipley said.
All of the injured were expected to survive.
Witnesses who spoke to the injured passengers said the people on the bus had spent the day at the National Zoo and Smithsonian museums and were headed home to Carlisle, Pa. Kirk R. Wilson, the mayor of Carlisle Borough, said the children are home-schooled.
A team of investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board was dispatched to Bethesda to help with the probe.
The battered white bus with green lettering remained on the wall with its windows smashed immediately after the wreck. Rescue ladders were propped against its side, and the highway was littered with debris.
Injured and bleeding adults and children, bandaged and looking stunned, gathered on the roadway as medics tended to them.
One woman held what appeared to be an ice pack to her head. A child sat with a large head bandage and was comforted by an adult. Another child with a Washington Redskins ball cap and red hoodie had what looked like a skinned knee.
Officials said the driver's body remained on the bus after the survivors escaped or were extricated from the vehicle. It was removed about 8:30 p.m.
A state police helicopter hovered overhead while police dogs searched around the bus to make sure no victims had been ejected and gone undiscovered. Traffic was jammed on the Capital Beltway and along surrounding side streets.

How to Make My Ankles Slimmer
Fat around the ankles is often referred to as cankles -- fat between the ankles and calves. This type of adiposity is subcutaneous, which means it lays right under the skin's surface. Although it is not harmful to the body, as is deep visceral fat in the stomach, it can cause self consciousness. To make this fat disappear, you need to promote weight loss throughout your whole body while toning your calf muscles. This plan includes both exercise and nutrition.
Step 1
Reduce your daily caloric intake by 500 to 1,000 calories. Aim for the higher number if you want to achieve slim ankles in a hurry. Cutting back by this margin will create about 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss a week. Choose foods that are nutrient-dense, such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, low-fat dairy, beans and whole grains.
Step 2
Perform exercises that plantar-flex your foot. Plantar flexion takes place when you point your toes downward. Running, biking, stair-climbing, jumping rope and hill walking are good choices. To lose weight, the American College of Sports Medicine, or ACSM, recommends 60 to 90 minutes of cardio performed five days a week.
Step 3
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart to do squat jumps. These work your calves, glutes and thighs in an explosive motion. Lower yourself down by bending your knees and stop when your thighs parallel the floor. Jump in the air as high as you can and land softly on the balls of your feet. Lower your heels to the ground and repeat.
Step 4
Position the balls of your feet on a stair step to do calf raises. Keep your legs straight and lower your heels down as far as possible by bending your ankles. Rise up on your tip-toes in a steady motion and hold for a full second. Lower yourself back down and repeat.
Step 5
Turn your toes out to do angled calf raises. Stand with your heels about two inches apart and toes turned out about 45 degrees. Rise up onto your toes and hold for a second. Lower yourself back down and repeat.
Step 6
Turn your toes in and perform calf raises. Begin by placing your toes about two inches apart and heels about hip-width apart. Rise up onto your toes and hold for a second. Lower yourself back down and repeat.
Step 7
Perform a downward-facing dog yoga pose. Lie on your stomach with your hands about shoulder-width apart and feet hip-width apart. Push yourself off the floor to get into the starting position of a push-up. Lift your hips in the air and push your weight back toward your heels. Stop when your feet are flat on the floor. Keep your arms, legs and back straight as you do this exercise. Your body should form a 90-degree angle when you are in the proper position. Hold for 30 to 45 seconds and slowly release.

Re: Most Memorable Fish of 2012
I apologize for not having a picture, I don't take many of the fish I catch. The most memorable this year was an 11" Cutt. I was fishing a new very small stream with a tiny dry caddis. It took at the confluence created by three rocks in a spot I could jump across.
The leaves on the trees were rustling in the light breeze that kept us cool and there was that perfect feeling in the day. When it took my fly I was almost reluctant to spoil the moment but it was a jewel of a fish and actually made my day that much better.
Each smallest act of kindness - even just words of hope when they are needed, the remembrance of a birthday, a compliment that engenders a smile - reverberates across great distances and spans of time, affecting lives unknown to the one whose generous spirit was the source of this good echo, because kindness is passed on and grows each time it's passed, until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage years later and far away.

Politics has always been about networks, but recently these have started to mean technology networks in addition to the more usual ones. I had the opportunity to attend a session on "Impact of technology on the 2012 Campaign Trail". It was a discussion amongst invited speakers on how technology is(a) being used and (b) changing how the campaign teams reach out to voters and try to get their candidate's message across.
Before I go any further, this is just about The Tech and will be a non partisan commentary only representing the current technology strategies of the various campaigns. The right and wrong usage of technology is also not something I want to be covering in this blog.
On with the show…..
Political campaigns are getting increasingly savvy about getting their message across to voters. We have mostly heard or read about how social media and micro blogging are being used to reach out and target voters especially on the Democrats side. So has this changed anything?
Well, actually, yes…. so while there are multiple examples to show how technology has changed the face of political campaigns, my focus in this post is on two areas:
1. Field operations- Back in the "good old days", campaigns relied on index cards and party workers making manual updates to voter information – slow, inaccurate and producing not very actionable data. Now a party worker can go on a door to door campaign and update voter information and responses real time into a central database. (Spoiler alert - Remember the term "real time"). This makes the data that is collected much more actionable. Of course, there are different analytics performed on the data and results in targeted messaging. The ability to use analytics on the database and target the voters based on very granular, specific, information is key.Field operations now become more realistic, efficient, optimized and prepared to be personalized.
2. Gamification - Rewarding or providing incentives to individuals or teams when they achieve certain goals is part of gamification. Political campaigns are leveraging the gamification concept to reward individuals or groups who can motivate or spread the message of the campaign to other voters. This can be considered as the virtual equivalent of planting a 'Vote for X" sign in your yard that influences neighbors and passersby.
Now, on to "realtime". What were significant patterns during the first presidential debate? First, was all the microblogging and realtime analysis of the debate that was occurring. Second, was the virtual conversation on "Big Bird'.
So it seems like the biggest trend in this election is the use of microblogging and the like to track events like the debates in real time. Be it #eastwooding or google hits for Big Bird - there is a lot more voter participation online, expressing opinions and congregating in virtual communities. There is also real time online fact checking from multiple sources – its getting difficult to hide out there….
While they are milling around their virtual watercoolers and exchanging thoughts, and commentaries, voters are extensively consuming and sharing graphics and videos and with each other. With gamification, we will probably see a lot more of video and graphics used in the campaigns. Without getting into details, we have been hearing of the famous political videos related to both parties on Youtube.
So how does all this translate into networkology? To name a few:• Realtime data and trending = Increased network activity, Bursts of data • Gamification and Video consumption = different traffic patterns, higher demand for bandwidth and better quality of experience.• A combination real time data and video gives us varying traffic patterns and profiles, bigger data sets, increased analytic tools usage.
How can networks match up to these trends?Piece of cake - networks need to be able to dynamically grow and contract based on the microblogging or trending activities; very similar to the elasticity required when moving virtual machines between data centers. Have a physical network? Partition it logically to scale up or down with a combination of technologies. For better quality of experience when viewing those graphics and videos or doing gamification, techniques like content caching and traffic prioritization help. When live streaming debates, prioritization of the video streams becomes key.
Coming back to the campaign tactics, there is no single magic potion or silver bullet that parties can use to woo or contact voters. Till they arrive at that single path to get to voters, they plan to continue all known possible methods to persuade voters during this election. While it seemed that the 2008 election saw technology being harnessed as a part of the Democratic campaign, it is not clear yet if there has been anything more than incremental innovation this time around.
A lot of this will become clear post-election. Till then, sit back, relax and watch the show – we'll see how voters respond.

NFB documentary follows queer refugees seeking Last Chance in Canada
Their names are Trudi, Carlos, Jennifer, Zaki, and Alvaro. They're from countries as varied as Jamaica, Colombia, Lebanon, Egypt, and Nicaragua. But what they have in common is that they've all fled homophobic violence in their homelands. They have faced either rejection from their families, arrest, imprisonment, rape, torture, or death threats. And they're all seeking asylum in Canada.
Halifax-based CBC journalist Paul Émile d'Entremont's documentary Last Chance follows their journeys and exposes the ordeals that they endure as asylum seekers. They dream of the freedom of being themselves in Canada, but first they must prove that they are in fact what they say they are.
Although Canada was one of the first countries to accept asylum seekers on the basis of sexual orientation or identity, the film takes a close look at how Canada integrates refugees.
Just prior to Human Rights Day (December 10), the National Film Board of Canada is releasing the documentary Last Chance online at the NFB website. It's being offered for free from Thursday to Sunday (December 7 to 9). (After that, it will be available for purchase as download-to-own or video-on-demand.)

Senator Montgomery Announces New Ethics Reforms
After strong support from Senator Velmaentte Montgomery (D-Brooklyn) to pass legislation earlier this year, the Public Integrity Act of 2011 has been signed into law by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. The ethics reforms will help bring integrity, accountability, transparency and public confidence back to State government.
The ethics reforms will:
• Require comprehensive disclosure from state officials – including lawyers – regarding the outside clients & customers they provide services to;
• Eliminate "pay-to-play";
• Strip public officials convicted of felonies involving public corruption of their taxpayer funded pension
• Require a more detailed disclosure of outside sources of income;
• Establish Project Sunlight, a database of all individuals and firms with matters before the state;
• Require disclosure from lobbyist and their clients of their relationships with public officials;
• And increase oversight of lobbying behavior through a broader definition of lobbying.
The Reform Act also establishes a new Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE), which will have investigative oversight over both the executive and legislative branches. Creating an independent oversight commission with greater enforcement authority will improve the standards of conduct and accountability for all elected officials.

Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet Review: Waterproof Tablet with Best of Bravia Display Technology
Product testers are often in a tough spot when it comes to checking manufacturer claims about features like durability. When conducting an Xperia Z2 tablet review, Sony invited testers to take the device in the shower or shallow end of the pool to test its claim of being the "world's slimmest and lightest waterproof tablet."
The good news is, if you've ever felt you were missing out by not being able to update Facebook (FB) while in the shower, Sony has you covered.
But more important to most users than waterproofing is Sony's leveraging of its Bravia TV technology in the Xperia Z2. The display is bright, crisp, offers excellent black levels and wide viewing angles. Sony is using its TRILUMINOS for Mobile display technology here as well as its X-Reality picture engine, and the payoff is a display that stands out, especially when watching video or playing games.

Camelot ups good cause cash
The National Lottery operator Camelot has announced it will increase its spending on good causes by Ł500m.
The decision means Ł10.5bn will have been spent on lottery beneficiaries by the time Camelot's licence runs out next September.
The National Lottery Commission, which awards the licence, has said the rival bid from Sir Richard Branson's People's Lottery promises more money for good causes.
Camelot said on Thursday that the increased spending on good causes was the result of the "unprecedented success" of the lottery and the impending launch of two new games.
Olympic success
Chief executive Dianne Thompson said the lottery had become a critical source of funding for a variety of groups and organisations in the UK.
Ms Thompson made the announcement after posing for photographers with rower Steve Redgrave and his gold medal winning team mates.
Much of the credit for Britain's success at the Sydney Olympics has been attributed to improved sports facilities paid for with lottery money.
When the lottery licence was awarded Camelot pledged to raise Ł9bn for good causes. That figure was increased by a billion three years ago.
The money is distributed among several groups. Much of it is spent on the arts, heritage, sport and charities.
Camelot's announcement came after news of the resignation of the National Lottery Commission chairman, Dame Helena Shovelton.
She resigned following criticism of her by Camelot.
In her letter of resignation, Dame Helena blamed the intensification of the media coverage during the past few days which has "amounted to a vilification of me personally" for her decision to stand down.

BOULDER, Colo. — There's a reason the Arizona Wildcats undergo media training before the season, rarely saying anything inflammatory in public and generally keeping their emotions inside the locker room.
"All-In," they like to call it.
During Arizona's 88-61 destruction of Colorado on Saturday, Buffaloes forward Xavier Johnson and his teammates found out why.
Johnson was the one who predicted a "20-point blowout" in the rematch Saturday after UA beat Colorado a month ago, saying the then-top-ranked Wildcats "aren't that good." The Wildcats were even better on Saturday than they were a month ago — back when they also had forward Brandon Ashley.
On Saturday, Arizona stifled Colorado into missing its first 15 field goal attempts, out-rebounded the Buffaloes 38-30 and combined those two strengths with unusually good shooting.
Arizona hit 60.3 percent from the field and made 8 of 17 three-pointer attempts (47.1 percent) to easily overcome the fact that it made just 10 of 19 free throws.
"We put it all together," guard T.J. McConnell said. "We jumped on them in the first half. We pretty much did everything well, especially defense. It's what we pride ourselves on."
The victory was significant on many levels for the Wildcats, now 25-2 overall and 12-2 in the Pac-12. It was easily their best overall game since Ashley was lost for the season Feb. 1, with the Wildcats having settled into what was a nine-man rotation Saturday.
The game also moved Arizona two games ahead in the Pac-12 race over UCLA, which lost at Stanford earlier Saturday, leaving the Wildcats in a strong position with four games to go.
It was Arizona's fourth victory over Colorado (20-8, 9-6) in the five times the teams have played since the Buffaloes beat Arizona in the final of the 2012 Pac-12 tournament.
So maybe it's a rivalry on the outside, but Miller is looking inward.
"We have great respect" for Colorado, Miller said when asked if he felt a rivalry with the Buffs. "I don't think you have any of our players saying anything negative about Colorado or 'we're gonna win by 20 or all that.' We don't do that.
"For us, we have to play the right way. We have to compete hard. We respect every opponent, and certainly we respect Colorado."
Predictably, neither leading scorer Aaron Gordon nor point guard McConnell bit when asked whether Johnson's bravado meant anything. And when Miller was asked about whether those words entered at least the back of his players' minds, he offered a faint smile.
"I'll let you guys kinda figure that one out," he said.
In the end, despite the passion of Colorado fans and the ESPN "College GameDay" excitement, the Buffaloes might have been the flatter team.
The Buffs missed their first 15 field goal attempts, failing to hit one for the first 10 minutes of the game and trailed by as many as 17 points before coming back somewhat later in the half.
Arizona was leading 22-5 before Jaron Hopkins hit a three-pointer with 9:48 left in the half to end the Buffaloes' field goal drought. Colorado later scored seven straight points to cut UA's lead to 26-21. The Buffs cut it to six before the halftime buzzer when Askia Booker hit a 10-footer in a crowd of defenders.
But it wasn't enough. Colorado went on to cut the Wildcats' lead to four points in the second half before UA went on a 29-6 run to take control of the game.
"I don't feel we had the most energy," Colorado guard Booker said. "We were giving up layup after layup, and they hit some tough shots. I think we got ourselves back in the game. … We just gave it away in the second half."
UA took a 31-25 lead at halftime, but Colorado cut it to 37-33 three minutes into the second half.
That's when Gordon hit a three-pointer in the corner and scored inside to give UA a 42-33 lead and start the big run.
"That made us feel really good that we had our offense clicking like that," Gordon said. "We're a very good defensive team, so when our offense is clicking, we're very tough to beat."
Gordon, who fouled out and was a limited factor in UA's overtime win over Utah on Wednesday, led the Wildcats with 23 points, and Nick Johnson had 20. Guard Gabe York had 10 rebounds, and McConnell had 10 assists to no turnovers.

Statistics: Scientific method · Research methods · Experimental design · Undergraduate statistics courses · Statistical tests · Game theory · Decision theory
Social statistics is the use of statistical measurement systems to study human behavior in a social environment. This can be accomplished through polling a particular group of people, evaluating a particular subset of data obtained about a group of people, or by observation and statistical analysis of a set of data that relates to people and their behaviors.
Often, social scientists are employed in the evaluation of the quality of services of a particular group or organization, in analyzing behaviors of groups of people in their environment and special situations, or even in determining the wants or needs of people through statistical sampling.
Statistics in the Social SciencesEdit
Statistics and statistical analyses have become a key feature of contemporary social science. Statistics is and has been perhaps most important in economics and psychology that have incorporated and relied primarily on statistical analyses as a method of argument for decades.
Recently, the use of advanced statistical analyses have become popular among the "soft" social sciences such as political science, sociology and anthropology. There is, however, currently a heated debate regarding the questionable uses and value of statistical methods in social science, especially in political science, with many important statisticians questioning the often broad policy conclusions of political scientists who often misrepresent or misunderstand the limited interpretive power that non-robust statistical methods such as simple and multiple linear regression allow. Indeed, an important mantra that social scientists cite, but often forget, is that "correlation does not imply causation."
The use of statistics has become so widespread in the social sciences that many top universities such as Harvard, have developed institutes focusing on "quantitative social science." Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science focuses mainly on fields like political science that are only now beginning to incorporate advanced causal statistical models that Bayesian methods provide.
Statistical Methods in Social SciencesEdit
A number of methods, techniques and concepts have been developed or extensively used in various branches of quantitative social sciences. Those include, in no particular order:
- Structural Equation Modeling and factor analysis
- Multilevel models
- Cluster analysis
- Latent class models
- Item response theory
- Survey methodolgy and survey sampling

What's Buzzworthy: Airplane Movies
What's Buzzworthy: Airplane Movies
Last week, I challenged you to tell me some of the best airplane movies that have kept you entertained on long trips. Sounds like a few of you have had some good in-flight watching recently! Here were a few of my favorite picks:
Bookmarked by tdamji, who wrote: "Not only is this 3 hour+ movie great for in-flight-movie-watching due to the great musical score and romantic qualities which can easily transport anyone to another time and place, but it brings back memories for me because I remember watching it during the 8 hour flight to England, my first overseas trip, which was my high school graduation present in 1998."
Uptown Girls
Menthadict checked this one out from 30,000 feet. She wrote: "A charming, entertaining movie about a girl who grew up too quickly and a girl who hasn't grown up at all. A little music, a little shirtless man, all in all, a nice flick to watch."
Two more, plus a widget with all your picks, so
This original that launched a thousand sequels was tagged by CupcakeGal10, who called it "fluffy and fanciful, with plenty of sneaky grown-up jokes to keep you giggling. I thought I was going to hate it, but I loved it!"
My Dog Skip
Linda McP tagged this one. She said: "My family laughed when I put my headphones on, but I was determined to watch this film and I wasn't disappointed . While It is a real tear-jerker of a family film, it's so much more than just another "boy-and-dog" movie. Diane Lane and Kevin Bacon are well cast as the parents and the adorable Jack Russell terrier, Skip, is just a real scene stealer."
All your picks:

I love chicken pot pie. As I think about it, though, I don't know if I've ever eaten a completely homemade chicken pot pie. There was no sweet granny who let homemade pies cool on the windowsill in my childhood (I'm actually beginning to think that whole stereotypical grandma idea is just a scam). As a kid I loved the frozen Marie Callender's pot pies. However, as I've grown up I've begun to notice the ridiculous amounts of sodium, fat, and weird ingredients involved in packaged frozen foods. Of course once in a while it's fine to indulge. But for a more everyday affair, these mini pot pies are just perfect for portion control and simple ingredients that you can control. Not to mention how adorable and transportable they are!
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Just like chicken pot pie – savory and rich and meaty.
Texture: The "crust" is in between a muffin and souffle. The edges browned nicely for some sturdiness while the filling was moist. The cheese throughout adds a lovely melting texture.
Ease: Super easy.
Appearance: What is better than cute, miniaturized versions of your favorite comfort foods?
Pros: Fun, tasty, easy, cute. Perfect for lunch.
Cons: Uses baking mix, which I usually don't use. However, Trader Joe's makes a lovely baking mix that doesn't have hydrogenated oils. You can always make your own baking mix, too.
Would I make this again? Yes.
I don't like peas (it's a texture thing) so I just used carrots. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you prefer.
How to make Mini Chicken Pot Pies
For the filling:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
For the "crust":
3/4 cup baking mix (such as Bisquick)
3/4 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, flipping pieces as they brown, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Add onion and broth to the pan and bring to a simmer. Add frozen vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme. Heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes then stir in cheese.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine baking mix, milk, and eggs with a whisk until well combined. Spoon a tablespoon of baking mixture into each muffin cup. Top with about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture. Spoon another tablespoon of baking mixture onto chicken mixture in each muffin cup.
Bake 25-30 minutes, or until pies are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes in pan. Using a thin knife, loosen the sides of pies from pan and remove to a cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes longer before serving.

whoa. these are really mini. i love chicken pot pie so i might just have to try this out.
Wow those look so good! Amazing photos too!
I just wanted to say I randomly stumbled upon your site and just spent the last hour drooling over everything! I am trying the potato soup tonight and plan on these soon. LOVE it! Please keep it up – your stuff is great!
Thank you so much!!
Erm… hell ya!! Wow, what a wonderful idea. I want to go cook right now!!
Neat idea! Good use of bisquick 🙂
very easy to make and such a cute idea. loved it. so adorable for small get togethers.
Made this and my fiancee and his daughter loved them! I will def make them again!
I thought this was pretty good. I put it in a pan instead of a muffin tin. Cooked for 30 min and turned out perfectly. This is a great recipe for using up leftovers. I used fresh carrots, some frozen corn, a little spinach and leftover turkey tenderloin. Hubby said it could use more cheese(he says this for all dishes with cheese 🙂 )

His 'Nothin' on You' has prevented Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' from reclaiming the champion title while his new track 'Airplanes' enters at No. 9.
Rapper B.o.B has scored a second week at number one in the U.S. pop charts as his follow-up track lands in the top 10. "Nothin' on You" keeps Rihanna's "Rude Boy" from returning to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, while his "Airplanes" collaboration with Paramore's Hayley Williams enters the top 10 at nine.
The rapper's debut album, "B.o.B Presents The Adventures of Bobby Ray", is a favorite to claim the top spot on America's album chart next week. "Rude Boy" stays put at two on the new singles chart, while Taio Cruz's "Break Your Heart" rises a spot to three.
Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" and "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train rounds out the new top five. Four tracks from TV show "Glee"'s recent all-Madonna episode enter the Hot 100. The cast's rendition of "Like a Prayer" is the chart's highest debut at 27.

Philly councilman's wild, wild, Wildwood days
So here I am in Wildwood Crest, enjoying my morning coffee and flipping through the most recent edition of the Five Mile Sun-By-The-Sea, a local island paper now celebrating its 10th year of publication. There, on page 99, was a familiar face, sort of.
I'll admit I didn't recognize him with that awesome head of hair, but the caption confirms it is Philadelphia First District Councilman Mark Squilla rocking the red swimming trunks of a lifeguard:
"Joe Rullo (owner of SHOOBIES Good Eats) and Mark Squilla (Phila. Councilman) at their summer job at Wet n' Wild Waterslide on Morey's Pier 1984."
Knowing how many Philly folks spend their summer in the Wildwoods, I figured I wasn't going to be the first person to ring Squilla up to rib him about his totally tubular '80s look. Of course, I did it anyway.
"Yes, it's me and Joe Rullo," Squilla said, adding that his daughter tipped him off. "She was down there reading the paper and she called me up. She was hysterical—look at all that hair!" The gold chain-crucifix combo is a nice touch, too. But, what, no Italian horn?
Squilla said his family vacationed every summer in Wildwood on Bennett Avenue, and as he got older, he stayed down for the whole season to work boardwalk jobs with friends. He oversaw the slides at Wet n' Wild—then a much-smaller version of today's Ocean Oasis on Morey's Surfside Pier—from 1981 to 1985.
"It was a pretty happening place. A lot of South Philly girls used to come down there to Wildwood," he said.
Speaking of girls, that savage tan ("Hey, they didn't call me 'Dark Mark' for nothing," Squilla said) and the money he saved from working all summer weren't the only things Squilla took with him when his days as a freewheeling dude-about-the-Wildwoods ended after graduating college in 1985. He met his wife, Brigid, in a North Wildwood bar, and the rest is history.
"I met her at Harry the Hats—that's now Keenan's—and took her over to Moore's Inlet," he said. She was down visiting some cousins and made a few more trips to the Shore that summer. They married in 1989.
So which is the more difficult job, keeping watch over a pool full of obnoxious teenagers or serving on City Council?
"You know, there's a lot of similarities," Squilla said. "You gotta put up with a lot of people. It was good training ground for City Council."
Here's a link where you can read the latest edition of the Five Mile Sun-By-The-Sea, which is chock full of nostalgic photos and first-hand stories from longtime Wildwood residents and fans and is well worth a look. The paper takes its name and masthead design from the original lithograph of the 1910-1915 Five Mile Beach Sun, which then served Holly Beach, Angelsea and the rest of the Wildwoods from offices in the Seacrest Hotel at Oak and Pacific avenues.

El Guerrouj, 31, said he was not ready for the event, which takes place in Moscow in March.
The Morrocan middle distance star said he did plan to run outdoor this year after missing last year's season through injury.
"I will return to the track in the summer to compete in events such as the Golden League," he said.
The four-times world 1,500 metres champion said his comeback had been delayed by a back injury.
He also said he wanted to devote more time to his family.
"My preparations to regain my best performance level have been delayed," he said.
"As a result I will not take part in the Moscow indoor championships."

My original favorite be present pants are the Agility style. They are extremely lightweight and the proprietary Breathe Weave fabric dries so quickly that you never have to leave class with sweaty crotch stains (always a downer) again. They are full length, but slit up the back to the knee, which helps keep you cool and allows you to check your knee alignment easily. They come in an array of gorgeous colors.

Move over Agility, there's a new favorite pant in town! The Mobility style is made from the same lightweight Breathe Weave fabric as the Agility and is cut is similarly flattering. The main difference is that the Mobility pant is cropped above the ankle and slit up the side. This cute style makes the pant indistinguishable from well-designed streetwear. They are great to practice in and you won't have to change before heading out to your coffee date or grocery store run. They are also perfect for travel, especially to yoga festivals and retreats.

I have pledged my allegiance to the Mobility Pant, but in really hot weather I break out the Konas. Same lightweight, breathable fabric and great colors, but cropped at the knee and a little baggier.

The Athens Prefecture was one of the prefectures of Greece. It was part of the Attica region and the Athens-Piraeus super-prefecture. The capital of the prefecture was the city of Athens. After Lefkada Prefecture it was the second-smallest in Greece, but was the most populous and most densely populated. It covered the central part of the agglomeration of Athens. Its extremities lied in the municipalities or communities of Chaidari in the west, Ekali in the north, Penteli in the east, and Glyfada in the south. It bordered East Attica Prefecture to the northeast, east, and southeast, West Attica Prefecture to the northwest, and Piraeus Prefecture and the Saronic Gulf to the west.

Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Living With Testicular Cancer | Resource Guide
A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
If you are male, it is possible to develop testicular cancer with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing testicular cancer. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors for testicular cancer include the following:
You are at greatest risk between the ages of 20-35 years. Out of 100,000 men in this age group, 8-14 men will get testicular cancer. There is also a small increase in risk during early childhood.
Normally the testicles, which are inside the abdomen before birth, migrate into the scrotum by the time of birth. Occasionally though, boys are born with testicles that are still in the abdomen or in the groin, not having completed their journey to the scrotum. This is called undescended testicles.
Having one or more undescended testicles is a major risk factor for testicular cancer. Nearly 15% of cases of testicular cancer occur in men with a history of undescended testicles. They should be moved into the scrotum or removed entirely as early as possible to reduce the risk of cancer.
It should be noted that surgical correction of the undescended testicle does not prevent a future cancerous tumor, but it does make it easier to detect.
Other medical conditions that can increase your risk of testicular cancer include:
Testicular cancer occurs 5 times more often in Caucasian men than in African American men.
Being of a higher socioeconomic status also puts you at higher risk for testicular cancer.

MAC's New 'All About Orange' Collection: What to Buy Now or Snag Later
Buy Now:
All of the lipsticks are limited editions so head to your nearest MAC store to nail the lippies. The blushes are also unique to this collection, as are a few of the nail polishes (Ke Ai and Sweet Pop).
Buy Later:
If you're on a budget (who isn't?), don't worry about snagging the Creamsheen Glasses—they're re-promotes so you may all ready have them in your collection. Nail lacquers Morange and Fiestaware are permanent, so you can always grab those later. The eyeshadow quad also contains basic greys and neutrals that you probably all ready have in your collection, so you can skip that too.

One of the hardest parts of helping human momma rescue dogs is making friends with one and then saying goodbye when they go to their new home. I admit I am a diva when it comes to getting attention from people who come to visit, but there is the occasional dog who passes through here that I miss when they are gone.
One dog I miss and still see occasionally is Shiloh. She was born in our garage on Thanksgiving Day 2011. She was so small that my human momma had to carry her around in her bra to keep her warm when her dog momma pushed her away. The dog momma had so many puppies that she couldn't feed them all and the weak ones would get pushed away so the strong ones could eat. Human momma wouldn't let them die. She was able to save most of them, and Shiloh was the smallest with the biggest heart.
Shiloh needed a momma dog to show her the ropes so I stepped in. In fact, my whole pack taught her how to be a really good dog. Now she's in a home where she's a really good dog, just like we taught her. I'm proud of her, and even though I miss her, it's like human momma said - sending her to a forever home made room for another dog at our house.
Fostering is tough but it makes my heart feel good knowing we are helping the dogs who don't have families as awesome as ours. Every dog deserves to know what it feels like to be loved.

There is nothing quite like the drama of a Game 7 in the NHL playoffs, especially when it's a Game 7 in a roller coaster series in which the first three games went to one team and the next three went to the other.
And that's what we've got: The Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks are going down to the wire for the second straight year.
As franchises, the Kings and Sharks have been defined by their recent playoff results. By virtue of winning the 2012 Stanley Cup and advancing to the semi-finals last year, the Kings are the plucky, blue-collar worker bees who have just enough talent to get into the playoffs every year and then physically wear down their opponents.
The Sharks, by contrast, are as consistent as metronomes season after regular season, but they just haven't quite put it together in the playoffs.
That all looked to be changing this spring when the Sharks romped to wins in the first two games of this series – unexpected beat-downs that drove Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick from the net and had him sporting one of the ugliest goals-against averages in recent playoff history. L.A. lost Game 3 in overtime.
But the past three games have featured a far different version of Quick, the one who won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2012 and had been the goalie of record in 25 playoff victories over the past two years – the most in the NHL over that span. That a team with the Kings' playoff pedigree had played so poorly was a mystifying development. The fact that they've played their way back into the series shouldn't come as that much of a surprise.
"They played better than we did the last three games, and we played better than they did in the first three games," said Sharks centre Logan Couture. "In my mind, if it gets to Game 7, it doesn't matter how it gets there. You're going for one game. You've played all year for home ice. I'm sure our building's going to be loud – and we've got to go win a hockey game and turn this thing around."
Only nine teams in NHL history have ever fallen behind 3-0 in a series and battled back to even terms. San Jose was involved in one of those series – in the 2011 second round, when the Sharks won the first three and then lost the next three to Detroit.
They should take heart: In that deciding seventh game, the Sharks beat the Red Wings 3-2 and won the series. They didn't have much left in the tank for the next round and fell to a Vancouver Canucks team that was on its way to the Stanley Cup final, but they did avoid a historical collapse that would have likely cost some people their jobs.
Six times, the team that rallied from a 3-0 deficit failed to complete the comeback. The exceptions: the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, the '75 New York Islanders and the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers, a team that included Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, two players now with L.A.
And while the Kings may have the momentum, San Jose has a distinct edge on home ice, losing only twice there to Los Angeles in their previous 14 meetings, regular-season and playoffs.
The Sharks played Game 6 without their top defenceman, Marc-Édouard Vlasic, the Canadian Olympian who'd been injured on a hit from the Kings' Jarret Stoll the game before. They also switched goalies, from Antti Niemi to the rookie Alex Stalock, on the grounds that Stalock was a better puck-handler and that Niemi had been inconsistent all year and didn't inspire a ton of confidence. Stalock did fine in his first start, and got a little unlucky on the winning goal, in which the Kings' Justin Williams appeared to push Stalock (and the puck) into the net.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan – to his credit – warned his players a week ago that, until they actually closed out the Kings by winning the fourth game, they could take nothing for granted. The Kings have outscored San Jose 16-8 in the past four games, and several of San Jose's top scorers, including Joe Thornton, need to get untracked.
"We need a Game 7 performance from everybody," said McLellan. "Our big guys are going to have to find a way to get on the board at some point. We have done it before, and can do it again."
Kings coach Darryl Sutter summed it up in his own phlegmatic way: "There's really no difference if you're down three or up three, it's still about closing it out. Somebody is going to win Game 7. Somebody is going to lose."Report Typo/Error

Leave it to Joss Whedon to launch a nerd-baiting rumor fest with 22 words dropped into the middle of a normal interview at someone else's movie opening.
Crave's CinemaBlend website posted video of the interview at the premiere of Iron Man 3, in which Whedon, writer and director of Marvel's The Avengers and the sequel due out next summer, says, "I've got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act, they're in the movie."
Sure, there are a lot of siblings in the Marvel universe, but Wanda and Pietro Maximoff (Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver) are long-time Avengers in the comics and may make a good fit for both Whedon and Marvel. (Marvel has made overt references to cross-over movies and Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are both mutants and Magneto's children.)
Whedon's comments come about 2:00 into the interview below. Watch it and see if you can read anything into his answer or his body language.

In a recent survey of British businesses, a quarter of them admitted that they had lost business contracts due to the lack of language skills among their staff. The survey of more than 500 companies in the UK also found that 1 in 10 of them needed to call in translators in order to understand foreign documents as none of their staff were able to read them.
Companies involved in manufacturing, catering and leisure are those most in need of employees with knowledge of foreign languages, and 20% of the companies surveyed said that they would pay higher salaries to staff with language skills.
The most useful language for business, at least in the UK, is quickly becoming Mandarin Chinese, and by 2050 Spanish could challenge English as the language of global business in the Americas.
Do you think it's better to employ people who already speak other languages, then train them in the other skills they need, or to employ people with the other skills, then train them in the languages?

To find out if the Windows Scripting Host is enabled on your PC:
- Click Start | Run | cmd
- Type wscript in the command shell
You can protect yourself from these malicious programs if you have up-to-date antivirus code resident. This is becoming an absolute requirement in corporate environments. If you don't have that level of protection, you might want to block the vbscripting threat by disabling the Windows Scripting Host which is the agent that executes the .vbs files. There are several methods which are compatible for Windows NT / Windows 2000 and Windows XP:
- Rename or delete the WSH executable : wscript.exe
Its normally found in the system32 folder.
- Block WSH from executing .vbs files by removing the file association
- Right-click My Computer
- Select Open from the menu
- Select the View tab
- Select Options
- Open the File Types tab
- Select VBScript Script File from the list of file types
If its not there, then WSH is not installed or has been disabled. If its there
- Click on the Remove button to remove the ability of WSH to run .vbs scripts.
- Another alternative if you want to know when a script has been activated, you can use the Edit button to change the default action for .vbs files from Open (running) them to Edit . That is open script in Notepad.
- Dynamically disable / enable WSH using Symantec's Noscript.exe freeware program.
- Disable scripts using freeware AnalogX Script Defender program. AnalogX Script Defender will intercept any request to execute the most common scripting types used in virus attacks, such as Visual Basic Scripting (.VBS) and Java Script (.JS). It can even be configured to intercept new script extensions as needed! It's very simple to use and helps to ensure that you do not inadvertently run a script no matter what email program you use, or even if you get it via another method.
