Winter weather got you down?
You may be familiar with Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as SAD. I won't bore you with the scientific specifics, since any questions can be answered with good ol' google and Wikipedia. But basically, SAD, also known as the "winter blues" occurs when people begin to feel more depressed in the winter time (or any specific season, though it is rarely anything but winter). Having always lived in upstate New York, I've seen a lot of this. Some of my friends are actually affected quite strongly by the change in seasons, and it always seems like such a shame that the weather can take such a negative toll on our bodies and minds. In the winter months, we don't get nearly enough sunlight or fresh air, and many people may actually suffer from a Vitamin D deficiency during this season and not even know it. A professor of mine actually suggested that we get our Vitamin D levels checked, because it is easy enough to take a supplement if they are too low.
I always thought that I was not affected by the seasons in this way. I prefer cloudy days. They make me feel so much more comfortable and cozy than sunlight, which often feels harsh to me. BUT, having said that, I am starting to realize that I might be more impacted by the seasons than I had previously thought. We have had a couple of random nice days in the past month or so, nearing 60 degrees. And these have come between blizzards and weeks of below-freezing temperatures. And on those days, especially when it was also rainy, I noticed that I just felt so much happier and more motivated to do anything. The little bothers in life didn't get to me quite so much and it was a lot easier to get over stressful events when I could just go for a walk without feeling like my face was being whipped off by the wind! So while I do find gray days cozy, I think I (like many other people) really do feel better when I can get outside and absorb even a few rays of sunshine. For me I think part of it is also psychological: spring and summer are happier times in general, and the warm weather is associated with those seasons. So when I walk outside and it smells like spring (even if it's actually January), suddenly I get all of that hope and motivation that typically comes along in April when school is almost out.
Regardless of my own specifics, I think it is important to assess yourself! If you have been feeling blue or hopeless or down in the dumps lately, it's possible that you've got a case of SAD. Now, I'm not saying everyone who is unhappy right now should just go diagnose themselves with this. But the reason I bring this to your attention is because SAD can often be managed. One common treatment is light therapy, which literally entails sitting under a specific type of lamp for about an hour at a time and giving your body a good dose of artificial sunlight. Some people see a lot of improvement with this!
If you suspect that your sadness may be related to the season, I would encourage you to look into it and think about treatment options. I'm trying to keep myself motivated by saying, "It's February now. Spring starts next month, technically!" (Although in New York State, it often feels more like spring starts in late May. But no matter what, we're getting closer and closer!)
Keep your head high; there may be ways around your SADness!

Fans of anime legend Hayao Miyazaki, the wonderful works of Studio Ghibli, or just really good family movies, rejoice: A live-action version of Kiki's Delivery Service has been announced.
The movie will be directed by Takashi Shimizu, who also directed the horror movie Juon (a.k.a. The Grudge) and will star 16-year-old ice skater-turned-actress Fuka Koshiba as Kiki. The film won't actually be based on the classic anime movie, but on Eiko Kadono's original series of children's books, about a young witch who sells her magic abilities.
Apparently, the movie ended up quite different from the books, which the author was reportedly unhappy about. Still, given how insanely popular the movie was (and still is), I'd be shocked if it doesn't influence this new movie in some way.

More often than not we let ourselves be surrounded by negativity. And things keep going wrong and we believe it's wrong and unfair and we feed the cycle till we're buried underneath it all.
After a while, we stop asking if that's how it should be. And then we forget how it all started. We are forever lost in the darkness inside ourselves that was originated elsewhere but placed there. And we believe we deserve it. And we believe it's our own damn fault. And it is. And it's not. It is because we let it grow and take over. It's not because we are not responsible for the environment we live in.
How is it possible to see positivity in a world like ours? Or how can you not let it affect you? But you can. And you should. And it's not selfish. It's ok. To see the world as it is and decide you're going to do better is not wrong. To decide you want to be happy is not a problem. Things will happen and get in the way but not everything we wish for is going to be good for us. So learn to accept things as they come. Blessing or lesson, learn from it and move on.
As they say, there are no bad things that will last forever and so we can say about happiness. Everything shall pass and it's up to you (and me) to take the best from it while it lasts.

On Tuesday, May 8, with the Winterhawks leading the Championship Series 2-1, game four went in Portland at the Rose Garden. Pysyk collected one assist in the Oil Kings 4-3 over-time win, evening the series at 2-2. A pivotal game five was back at Rexall Place in Edmonton on Thursday, May 10. Pysyk scored the game-winning-goal with just under a minute remaining to give the Oil Kings a 4-3 victory and 3-2 series lead. He also gathered one assist in the contest and was named the games 1st Star.

Mastering the art of Exchange 2010 migration documentation
Documenting your Exchange Server 2010 migration is an often-overlooked part of the upgrade process. Learn why it's important and what to include before putting pen to paper.
There is a lot to consider when planning an upgrade to Exchange Server 2010 and each project will be intrinsically different from one organization to another. However, one central commonality is the need to document the entire project if you expect others -- administrators and users -- to understand the objectives and methods used.
Although it may be very tempting to roll up your sleeves and jump right into a migration, don't. Before you even put the Exchange 2010 installation CD into the drive, it's important to establish your existing documentation baseline and then plan how you're going to get from point A to point B.
The initial move and easiest way to create a document, is to take a step back, review existing documentation and update it as needed. Most often, however, a simple update won't be enough and you'll need to create a new migration document from scratch.
The document must take into consideration storage, processor, memory and network requirements not only for the migration project itself, but also for Exchange Server's lifecycle. You'll also need to think about the evolution of supporting software within your Exchange environment, whether Exchange 2010 will need to remain compatible with other server versions during the upgrade and what line-of-business applications will operate in your environment. This tutorial will give you the framework for logically designing, planning and drafting a solid migration document.
Filling in the documentation blanks
You can use existing Exchange documentation as a reference on which to base your new migration document. But don't expect to completely count on old documentation. There are many reasons why baseline system documentation can become out-of-date. And although documentation should be an evolving creature -- changing with upgrades, service pack installs, patches and so on -- not all administrators are diligent in inputting changes as they occur.
Why should you be wary when reviewing existing documentation? Consider the following scenarios:
- You are consulting or have started a new role where you have to upgrade from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. The former IT manager or administrator didn't thoroughly document the previous move to Exchange 2003.
- You have been in charge of an Exchange Server infrastructure that's moving to Exchange 2010. This old configuration has been in place for a number of years, and there have been several undocumented changes.
- Patches, service pack installs and hot fixes don't always make it into system documentation because they may have been installed in a rush.
Layout and audience selection
After you review existing documentation, the next move is to meet with key stakeholders -- the chief technology officer, security managers and other Exchange admins, for example -- who will be involved in the migration. Together, you should identify the elements that you must include and the overall structure and tone of the document.
For example, some companies prefer migration documentation to take the form of a purely technical manual, primarily targeting administrators with a strong knowledge of IT resources. This type of document might get right into the technical information and include the following pieces:
- Hardware design information
- Exchange sizing information (CPUs, storage elements, memory requirements)
- Networking configuration
- Exchange settings (routing, server role settings)
- Specific third-party tools and interfaces
- Coexistence information
- Mailbox configurations
- Eliminated features
- Implementation steps
Other companies may prefer their migration documentation to be all-encompassing and contain project lifecycle planning and reporting, as well as technical elements. For example, a more holistic migration document might contain:
- Project overview
- Mission statement detailing the purpose of the upgrade
- Project goals
- Budget planning and allocation
- Project strategies (communications plan, risk management plan)
- Hardware considerations
- Storage
- Public folder migration
- CPU, memory and networking
- Software considerations
- Software compatibility
- Internal, line-of-business (LOB) software
- Coexistence scenarios
- Mailbox configurations
- Eliminated features
- Implementation steps
Now, let's take a closer look at what each portion of a nontechnical Exchange Server 2010 migration document could cover.
Project overview
Mission statement. The mission statement of a migration document should state the high-level purpose of the entire project. For example, this could consist of a simple statement noting that you're currently running Exchange Server 2003 and that you're moving to Exchange 2010 to take advantage of new features and long-term support benefits. In your mission statement, you may also want to include details on efficiencies or savings gained from migrating to Exchange 2010. Keep the mission statement brief and plan to elaborate on points made here in the project goals section.
Project goals. In this section, go into more detail on your mission statement by addressing specifics of your migration project. The idea here is to create a checklist of sorts that you can refer to throughout the project. A completed checklist at the end of the project will make it easy for stakeholders to get an overview of the steps involved and the overall success of the project. For example, this section could include the following details about how many servers and which servers will be involved in the migration:
- Move 4,000 users based on four sites from seven existing Exchange 2003 clustered mailbox servers to four Exchange 2010 servers with database availability groups implemented for high availability.
- Decommission three existing Exchange 2003 front-end servers and replace them with two Exchange 2010 client access servers.
- Migrate existing CRM and service desk applications from MAPI-based integration to Exchange Web Services.
Budget planning and allocation. Although this section isn't necessary, some companies find it useful to outline the anticipated costs of the migration project lifecycle, including overall budget allocated, itemized costs (e.g., $40,000 for servers; $60,000 for software), any available contingency budget in case you overspend in a particular area as well as information on how your department will report budget changes to stakeholders.
Project strategies. In both large and small migration projects, it's worthwhile to define a number of management strategies for more specific stages of the migration project. There are two main strategies that should appear in the migration document:
1. Communications plan
2. Risk management plan
Since the purpose of your Exchange Server migration is not purely a technical refresh -- it will also benefit your business and customers -- your migration documentation should identify any points in which customers may notice differences with communication or disruptions in email services. Your communications plan should specify this.
Within your documentation, for example, you may want to provide a timeline that identifies when to expect planned outages to services, how long the outages will last and any ways to lessen the impact of these outages on users. It might also be valuable to document less-critical occurrences, such as the fact that users won't be able to send or receive email while their mailboxes are moving to the new server.
A well-managed migration won't seem like a disruption to users or customers. Including details like this can help you make the migration experience more pleasant for the user base.
All migration projects should also have in place a list of risks and a management plan. Before beginning the migration project, you would have identified all relevant risks -- internal technical risks and external influences. The section containing your risk management plan should include how risks are identified and officially placed within the risks register. This will be useful in case auditors want to see how the project was managed.
You may want to use other strategies, including reporting progress and financial management, for example, but standards within your individual organization will dictate those components.
Hardware considerations
Although they may appear a few pages into your migration documentation, hardware details are the most important aspect to include. And, in many cases, this will be the most detailed section of your document as it contains the underlying technical design of your Exchange infrastructure.
Storage. The first entry under hardware considerations, and the key to an effective Exchange installation overall, is good storage design. Your document should capture the essence of your storage hierarchy. Key elements for this section should include:
- Results of a disk IOPS analysis according to mailbox and transport profiles within the Exchange organization. This information is easy to capture if you use the Exchange 2010 storage calculator, which automatically calculates storage requirements according to your Exchange organization size and requirements. You can adjust the tool according to your needs.
- Analysis of RAID-level designs explaining why you've chosen that particular RAID design for your storage volumes. Link this info to the IOPS analysis as well as a database and transaction log table.
- Logical table of your database and transaction log layout (Table 1). When combined with the IOPS analysis and RAID-level designs, the table should give users a good overview of what you're trying to achieve from a storage standpoint.

|General store db
*MS distributed transaction coordinator
Table 1. Here's an example of a database and transaction log layout.
Additionally, it's a good idea to document your database layout from an Exchange perspective. For example, explain which databases will go to production, which will go to test and development and where all of these databases will reside in relation to the physical and logical disk layout. You should also include information on which databases are database availability group (DAG)-enabled, if applicable.
Public folder migration. Moving public folder content over to Exchange 2010 can be a huge challenge, especially if users rely heavily on them. It's important not only to document the existing public folder infrastructure and permissions, but also to have a good plan in place for moving them over to the new environment.
CPU, memory and networking. This section is meant to give users or auditors an understanding of why you chose specific hardware for Exchange 2010 server roles. Similar to the storage calculator you used to run an IOPS analysis, you can use Microsoft's Exchange 2010 role calculator to obtain the specifications for various server roles.
You should also take into consideration any networking configuration changes that will occur during the migration. Will firewall configurations change and, if so, how? Will you need additional interfaces? What will the new IP configuration look like? Proper migration documentation should answer these questions.
Software considerations. It's common that you'll need to install supporting software to add functionality or provide increased resilience to the core Exchange Server deployment. You'll also need to support custom software.
Software compatibility. Check with software vendors to ensure that there are tested upgrades available that are compatible with Exchange 2010. Ancillary software often can be placed within one of the following categories:
- Archival software
- Antivirus protection
- Backup tools
- API-dependent software such as EWSAPI
Documenting the supporting software's baseline position in terms of compatibility with Exchange 2010 (as shown in Table 2) will help you avoid migration project delays.
|Current version
|Exchange 2010-supported version
|TotalSpace Backup for Exchange
|Primary backup
|Upgrade available
|AnswerIT Compliance Manager
|Vaulting solution
|Not released
Table 2. Here's an example of how you'd document your inventory of supporting software.
Internal, LOB software. Most organizations run several custom internal applications. Carefully document such applications to be certain that migrating to Exchange 2010 won't crash your CRM or present other problems.
Document all dependencies that systems external to Exchange have within the environment: which systems relay off SMTP virtual servers (including Unix boxes), which systems use mailboxes within the Exchange environment and how those systems connect to determine if you need to change any settings. Additionally, document if you have any third-party systems that integrate directly with Exchange, such as legal casework software or workflow applications, that you may need to reconfigure.
Coexistence scenarios
If your migration project involves a move from either Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, you'll most likely have to manage the coexistence of two server versions during the upgrade. In a coexistence scenario, multiple versions of Exchange communicate with each other and share resources as well as recipient and configuration information.
Also, in a coexistence scenario, certain departments will use Exchange 2003 functionality while others will use Exchange 2010 features. Table 3 lists some coexistence issues you should factor into your documentation.
|Server version
|Additional information
|Active Directory and domains
|When performing the upgrade, grant specific Exchange permissions in each domain within the forest in which you ran Exchange 2003's "domainprep" command. To do so, run setup.com/prepareLegacy-Permissions and document the domains needed to run this and check them off as each operation completes.

|Use native Exchange server management tools to administer the Exchange version and prevent configuration value corruption.
|Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 in coexistence with Exchange 2010

|Native Exchange 2010 role coexistence
|Certain Exchange 2010 roles in coexistence with a previous version are only used when a user mailbox is migrated to the platform.
|Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 in coexistence with Exchange 2010
|Mail-routing topologies
|Installing Exchange 2010 in an existing Exchange 2003 organization changes mail-routing methods. Each version of Exchange will maintain its own routing topology, but you need to understand how mail will be routed between two coexisting server versions. Document existing routing groups with SMTP connectors or Send/ Receive connectors.
|Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 in coexistence with Exchange 2010
|Upgrade from Exchange 2003 Transport
Table 3.Here's an example of some Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010 coexistence considerations.
Mailbox configurations
Many organizations use transport limits and mailbox limits. If your organization does, you should list them in existing documentation. With Exchange 2010, you may want to consider increasing these limits based on recent storage calculations. Carefully document any changes to limits as well as changes to log file paths (IIS logs, tracking logs, transport logs); the virtual directory; authentication settings; certificate settings.
Eliminated features
With the introduction of Exchange Server 2010, Microsoft eliminated a few features. Exchange Web Services has replaced certain Exchange 2003 API features, including MAPI32, Exchange WebDAV extensions and store events. Be sure to document that these features will no longer exist in the environment after the migration is complete.
Implementation steps
The final section of your migration documentation should explain the actual method and steps used to move from Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010. In this section, include time scales, tasks, resources and dependencies. The main point is that you should include a very detailed description of how you will get from point A to point B during the project.
You should now have you a good a grip on creating documentation for your own Exchange migration project. Keep in mind that you may have to adjust certain parts of your document to suit your organization, the migration project and your particular goals.

Olympic champion Hanyu wins world figure skating title
HELSINKI (AP) Yuzuru Hanyu pulled off a remarkable comeback to win the world figure skating title on Saturday, a boost to his bid to retain his Olympic title next year.
Hanyu was fifth after the short program but produced a world-record free skate score of 223.30 points, landing four quadruple jumps, for a winning total of 321.59.
Short program leader Javier Fernandez of Spain, skating last, dropped to fourth with a fall and other errors, giving Hanyu his second career world title after victory in 2014.
Hanyu, who was in tears of joy after learning his score, praised the passionate support from Japanese fans.
''After the short program, I was quite depressed. I was so deeply depressed,'' he said. ''But the fans and the team believed in me.''
Still, Hanyu suggested his struggles on Thursday could foreshadow problems at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
''I still feel it's very difficult to put out two clean programs,'' he said. ''Toward the Olympic season, it's important to skate clean both in the short and the free, these two programs together.''
The silver went to countryman Shoma Uno with a 319.31-point total on a strong day for figure skating in Japan, which has won six of the 12 world championships men's medals awarded over the last four seasons.
China's Jin Boyang was the bronze medalist for the second straight year, scoring 303.58.
''I just want to focus on my program and make it perfect, and I did it,'' Jin said. ''Whether I got a medal or not, I was quite happy.''
Three-time world champion Patrick Chan was fifth behind fellow veteran Fernandez, while U.S. champion Nathan Chen finished sixth after attempting a record six quad jumps in his free skate, with mixed results.
The 17-year-old Chen previously complained of problems with his skate boots: ''Whatever happened, happened, and I just have to put it behind me.''
Sixth place for Chen and seventh for Jason Brown meant the U.S. joined Japan as the only two countries to earn the maximum three spots in the men's event at the Olympics.
Saturday's free skate illustrated the relentless march in men's figure skating toward ever more quad jumps, which demand huge power and control from a skater.
The final six skaters to take the ice attempted 24 high-risk quad jumps between them, with three falls - two of them for Chen - and a few more awkward landings.
Also, Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir survived a slip by Moir on their free dance to win the ice dance, completing a triumphant comeback season.
After spending two years away from competitive skating, the 2010 Olympic gold medalists went a full season unbeaten for the first time in their career. They finished by breaking their own record score with a 198.62-point total for a third career world title.
''We've never had a quote-unquote perfect season, never had that kind of run of golds, and at this point it's fun to have on our resume,'' Virtue said. ''But more than that, what we've been able to accomplish personally as athletes has been the most satisfying.''
There was a nail-biting finish after Moir slipped and dropped to one knee during a spin sequence. That caused Virtue and Moir to lose ground to second-placed French pair Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron. The Canadians were subdued as they left the ice, but their five-point lead from the short dance was enough to keep them ahead of the French.
''It's not the way we thought we would win. Maybe that was part of the reaction (after the skate), but we're so excited and it means a lot to us,'' Virtue said.
Papadakis and Cizeron took second with 196.04 after breaking their own record in the free dance with 119.15.
The United States won its only medal of the worlds as siblings Maia and Alex Shibutani took bronze with 185.18.

If you're a poacher hoping to smuggle rhino horns through a U.S. port, Uncle Sam wants you to know you're barking up the wrong tree. And he has a new team of elite, hard-nosed cops to help him deliver that message: Butter, Viper, Lancer and Locket.
The first class of "wildlife inspector dogs" graduated this week from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Detector Dog Training Center (NDDTC) in Newnan, Ga., where they spent 13 weeks learning to identify the scent of endangered species — whether it's South American rosewood or African elephant ivory. The four graduates, along with their human handlers, will soon be stationed at key ports around the country, where they'll join a nationwide effort to stem the illegal trade in plant and animal parts.
"The recent rapid growth in the global trade in protected wildlife is pushing some species perilously close to extinction," says Ed Grace, deputy chief of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of Law Enforcement, in a press release. "Elephant and rhino populations in particular are declining at alarming rates. The battle to stop wildlife smuggling is one we simply cannot afford to lose, and using dogs and their phenomenal sense of smell to catch smugglers will give us a real leg up in this effort."
Dogs already have a long history in law enforcement, from hunting fugitives to helping police detect bombs and drugs. But while they've been man's best friend for millennia, their high-powered noses are increasingly ingratiating them to Mother Nature, too. Florida wildlife officials train dogs to sniff out invasive pythons in the Everglades, for example, while conservationists at the University of Washington train them to track endangered native animals by smelling their scat. On a small island in Australia, sheepdogs have even been entrusted to protect a population of endangered penguins.
But the task facing Bullet, Viper, Lancer and Locket — as well as future NDDTC cadets — is much broader than patrolling a single ecosystem. They will soon accompany agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the front lines of an expanding battle, one that pits international crime syndicates against a wide array of rare wildlife.
This comes on the heels of an unusually fruitful wildlife-trade summit held in Bangkok last month, one that highlighted both the gravity of the problem and the emerging possibilities for containing it. Conservationists pulled off several victories during the 2013 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), including new trade protections for sharks, turtles, elephants and great apes. But as critical as such regulations are, they're only as effective as their enforcers. The U.S. is a major market for illegally traded wildlife, and human officers can only inspect so many packages.
"On an average day, I as a human being can physically inspect, if I'm pushing myself hard, anywhere from 70 to 100 packages," FWS wildlife inspector Denise Larison says in a video about the new dog program. "And as you can see, the dogs can do 70 to 100 packages in a matter of minutes." While a human would need to unwrap and unpack each box to thoroughly examine it, the specially trained dogs can smell through packaging, allowing them to inspect potential contraband far more efficiently.
And as FWS inspector Amir Lawal points out, the dogs don't just lighten the workload of their human partners — they can also lift their spirits.
"This gives me a chance to combine my two great loves, wildlife and dogs," says Lawal, who works at the port of Miami. "I can't wait to get started in the field with my new partner to stop illegal wildlife shipments."

My first impression of the center of Lisbon wasn't as good as I had expected. I got out of metro Rossio to walk into a hectic crowd of tourists staring clueless at their city maps, hoping to find their way to the streets with english menus.
As much as I understand the utility of maps, I don't share this necessity. I didn't have a map. I rarely have one. Instead, I'll start somewhere in the center and then just walk until my legs won't carry my body anymore.
I get lost many times, but as long as you're cautious, getting lost is a good thing. It's the best way to discover a city from a different angle – getting off the usual tourist track that focus on the top historical buildings to hit an alternative road that leads you through completely different stories.
Many buildings were decorated with tiles, but this one was my very favorite one.
The paving stones on Lisbon's old streets are characteristic from Portugal.
I found orange trees exposing these juicy fruits, right there, on the streets.

U.S. PV manufacturer GeorgiaSuniva, Inc., has teamed up with DMSolar, a leading solar distributor in Mexico.
The Atlanta-based company, which is majority owned by Chinese giant Shunfeng International Clean Energy, recently partnered with DMSolar on several solar projects in Mexico totaling more than 2 MW.
The companies' latest project, a 300 kW rooftop intallation in in Leon, Guanajuato, went live in November. SMARTPV, the installer and integrator based in Guadalajara, selected Sunivas 330 W Optimus panels for their high power density, a requirement for end-user and energy owner Acopol, a Mexican manufacturer of commercialized goods.
"Our partnership provides high-quality solar products to the growing solar market in Mexico," said Pat King, Suniva's VP of distribution channels. "Many local companies are realizing the significance of high power density and how it will yield a stronger solar investment Sunivas technology is ideal for this market.
DMSolar Director Yusef Kanchi added, The Mexican market we work with seeks American-made, high-quality, high-powered products and we have found that Georgia-based Suniva is our go-to company for both quality and power.
Suniva operates manufacturing facilities in Georgia and Michigan.

Become Your Own Life Coach
The not-so-new realm of life coaching has been growing for several decades and has become extremely popular and widely available. But finding a coach, making the time for an appointment, and sharing our innermost hopes and dreams is a step too far for many of us.
Perhaps we are shy, worried about uncovering "true" desires that cause us to make mistakes or necessitate hard work, reluctant to part with the money, or simply procrastinating. So is there an effective way we can use the wisdom of life coaches at home?
In essence, life coaches look at our current situation and help us identify and achieve personal goals. In doing so, they use many methods and approaches. Some draw on business consulting and leadership training. Others are based in areas such as sociology, psychology, mentoring and counseling.
To become our own life coach, we must identify what we are seeking, then define and make the positive changes needed to maximize our ability to attain them. These changes may center on our career, finances, lifestyle, self-confidence, organizational skills, relationships, or any other area of life.
Martha Beck, author of Steering by Starlight, says her life-coaching philosophy is based on finding and fulfilling our "destiny," as she puts it. "Most of the time we're off-center, and we don't feel quite right so we're always seeking something," she says. "We think certain things will give it to us, most of them culturally defined – a lot of money, a bigger house, whatever. Those usually don't fulfill the need, so we keep looking. You play your life like a game of 'getting warmer, getting colder,' consistently making choices that you hope will make you happier in a deep way."
When acting as your own life coach, take these pages out of their playbook:
- Be completely non-judgmental when exploring your ambitions. Don't get irritated if you start to daydreamthis is exactly how you will discover your heart's desire. Write down all the ideas you think of, no matter how wacky they seem.
- Remain totally committed to the project, never forgetting how important you are. Give yourself support by acting as you would toward a good friend. Don't get bogged down or stressed; take regular breaks to gain perspective. Encourage yourself, show empathy, and recognize your achievements. When you believe in yourself anything is possible.
- Be discreet. There's no need to share these thoughts with everyone. They are personal to you, and you may get confused by well-meaning advice from people who think they know what's best for you. The time for advice is once you have made your plans more specific.
- Be available at all times. Keep a notebook always at hand for ideas and insights, rather than pushing thoughts away for being "inconvenient." This is particularly important at night and first thing in the morning, when many of us have moments of clarity.
As for the process itself, people vary in what suits them best. You may prefer a stream-of-consciousness writing session, pouring everything onto the page then analyzing it afterward for significant points which can be developed into actions. Or you may like a more structured approach, for example, listing your major life areas, with any problems written under each heading.
In addition to highlighting problems such as feeling isolated, overstretched, or lacking purpose, ask yourself what you feel most passionate about in life. When were or are you most happy? What would people say your strengths are? In order to focus on what you truly want, ask questions such as: Where do I want to be one year from now? Am I ready to make positive changes?
Life coach Gina Pickersgill from London, UK, explains her approach: "I try to get the person to realize where they want to go, and then to come up with their own solutions to get there. I challenge clients to accept that they have choices and can change. I try to help them get clarity about what they want, then I make them commit to specific goals and an action plan."
There are, of course, dozens of self-help books available to help with these sorts of projects. Many are excellent. But there's always the danger of getting caught up in the process and avoiding the crucial "action" stage. Unless you feel completely stuck, the suggestions above may be all the background you need to go ahead and create your plan. As Rudyard Kipling put it in the famous poem, "If you can dream, and not make dreams your master … yours is the Earth and everything that's in it."
With a concerted effort it is possible to guide yourself, take control of your own direction, and empower yourself to create a more fulfilled life.

There is just something about slowing down, taking a deep breath and filling my lungs with sweet air that smells like pine, jasmine and earth. Yesterday I loaded up my grandmama , picked up some milkshakes and headed to the river landing where we sat under trees and took in the beauty of the fast moving river and the old oaks with spanish moss hanging down. People must have thought we were strange sitting in the car with the windows down, drinking our shakes, laughing and talking like there was no tomorrow… not in any kind of hurry, just being in the moment.

A teenage boy plans to lay a complaint with Human Rights Commission after his high school forced him to cover up his traditional Pasifika tattoos.
Marli Atu received the tatau - the pattern telling the story of his blended Fijian and Samoan heritage, as well as his close connection to Maori culture- last November as a gift for his 16th birthday.
Students are banned from having visible tattoos at Glenfield College, a decile 6 school on Auckland's North Shore.
But the Year 12 student said he felt "shameful" when teaching staff at the school told him to wrap his tatau with a bandage.
"This is more than a tattoo. My tatau is my culture, my ancestors, my heritage, my whakapapa. And I felt shameful I needed to hide my culture with a bandage, like it was a disease," Marli said.
"I know the school didn't mean it that way but the tattoo rule is inadvertently offensive to minorities like Pasifika peoples."
He refused to put a bandage on and instead wears a winter jacket to cover the tatau - designed by ta moko artist Inia Taylor - in the summer heat.
When told to cover up, Marli says he tried to challenge the school rules by raising the cultural significance of his tatau.
"I understand the rule: it's to keep the school uniform tidy. But these tattoos are not skulls and dragons. Tatau and ta moko are taonga [treasure] to Pasifika and Maori," Marli said.
"I was told if I was allowed to show my traditional tatau, any student would be allowed any tattoo. The rule was the rule and if I didn't cover up, I was going to be sent home."
Principal Paul McKinley said Marli was a "very talented and popular student" at Glenfield College for the past three years.
He said the school regularly reminded students and parents of the rules, including the ban on visible tattoos.
"There are many good reasons why such a rule is in place. Our parent body expects all our students to present themselves in a way that reflects well on them and the college," McKinley said.
"The college, however, is also mindful of its obligations under the Human Rights Act 1993 and makes exceptions when there is a genuinely held cultural or religious belief."
McKinley said the Board of Trustees usually required independent confirmation of the significance of the tattoo to the culture, or the religion, and as well as independent confirmation the student had a genuinely held belief and the tattoo was "not just a fashion statement".
He was disappointed the family did not approach him or the board seeking a waiver, but had chosen instead to speak publicly through the media.
"My door is always open should they wish to meet with me to request a waiver on cultural grounds."
Marli said the option of seeking a waiver on cultural grounds was never mentioned to him, as he would have taken the opportunity.
While an exemption was good, the 16-year-old now planned to challenge the school rule through the Human Rights Commission, so other Polynesian youth didn't have to go through what he did.
His stepfather Danny Codling - a boxer who won bronze at the 2002 Commonwealth Games - supported the teenager's stance.
"We weren't told about any other avenue [like the waiver]. But it's like telling someone to cover up their family tree," Codling said.
"His mother and I have brought him up to be proud of where he comes from. Maybe we can pave a path for other boys and girls to be proud of their culture, too."
A spokesman for the Human Rights Commission declined to comment on the matter, at this stage, because of the likelihood of a complaint.
Asking someone to cover up traditional tattoos with cultural significance such as tatau, or Maori ta moko, had caused controversy before.
In 2013, Claire Nathan missed out on a job with Air New Zealand in the cabin crew because she had a visible ta moko on her lower arm.
The airline's policy was that frontline staff who dealt with customers could not have visible tattoos.
In 2011, a claim of discrimination made by a woman whose employers asked her to cover a tattoo was dismissed by the Human Rights Review Tribunal.
Claire Haupini was a casual worker for a spit roast company in Auckland and
was asked to wear a shirt with longer sleeves to cover up ta moko on her lower arm while working at a corporate function.
The tribunal heard the request left Haupini angry, distressed and humiliated and brought her to tears on several occasions.
But the company argued the employer's request that a tattoo be covered for work purposes was a means of achieving a legitimate objective relating to the appearance of staff.
The tribunal ruled there was no racial discrimination and later awarded costs of $15,000 to the spit roast company.

It has been proven, for example, that for UPS sources the average period between failures (MTBF) for devices on which preventive maintenance is carried out twice annually is more than 20 times longer than for devices on which preventive maintenance is not done at all. When realizing preventive maintenance, you identify and solve eventual problems before they can cause actual damage. Preventive maintenance results in minimization of operational risks while optimizing operations, i.e. ensuring maximum utility while maintaining optimal operating costs.
Unfortunately, even when carrying out preventive maintenance, you can come across unexpected defects on technological devices. Defective states are often caused by external factors that the person operating the device cannot influence. It does not matter whether the human factor is involved or if it is a matter of the weather, or perhaps the failure of the device itself, the basic requirement is always to get operations back to normal both quickly and safely. The longer the downtime, the more damages occur. For such cases, we offer a reactive maintenance service. We work with customers to determine device importance based on risk assessment, or rather the impact of the device not working. Following on this assessment, we apply the corresponding reactive maintenance service so that the customer can achieve the required level of maintenance. Reactive services consist of ensuring the warranty period after receipt of the requirement (request) from the customer, phone assistance, guaranteed launch of repairs and a guaranteed deadline for completion of repairs or eventual securing of a replacement solution that ensures secure operations. To achieve maximum added value when implementing product failure services, it is best to combine it with a remote monitoring service.
Customers who are aware of the importance of their technological infrastructure as it relates to their business, choose one of our service/maintenance programs when caring for their devices. Our service programs represent a complete set of maintenance care for technological devices, which derives from our properly designed and executed maintenance strategy in combination with our repair services, designed based on risk assessments, that guarantee availability and response time. Our service programs include remote monitoring. Individual service/maintenance programs are defined as part of logical wholes based on quality and type. By taking advantage of our service program, the customer saves on resources and optimizes maintenance costs. Meanwhile, they boost device operational efficiency, which leads to lower operating costs and greater infrastructure availability. The service results in cost-optimized, flawless and worry-free technology operations with increased efficiency.
This service helps persons running technologies boost the qualifications of their operations personnel and thus ensure the highest possible availability of the technologies they run; all while improving operations efficiency and security. The service consists of providing combined theoretical and practical training on the topic of technological infrastructure operations for individual technology units and/or devices, or possibly for other activities tied to infrastructure operations. The trainers are internal and external experts who have relevant certifications for operations of wholes or individual technologies. We offer the service in the form of pre-defined topics and on specific technologies, or in some cases as individual training sessions based on the client's specific requirements. There is always the option to run the training directly at a specific customer work-site.
The service does not just offer programs for operations personnel based on individual technology units, but also programs for managers and admins of technological sites who are looking to boost availability, optimize operating costs and increase the quality of services provided.
The trainers (training staff) are later available for further phone and written consultations and are also available in the event of further questions related to the training topic. The aim of the Training and Education service is rapid, measurable ROI for training and learning programs purchased.
The CFM service consists of transferring responsibility for your data center operations to us. The service consists of four basic components: a 24 × 365 service center; a center of excellence; ensuring and managing basic activities 24 × 365; and subcontractor management.

Why a Poor People's Campaign?
"I think it is necessary for us to realize that we have moved from the era of civil rights to the era of human rights…[W]hen we see that there must be a radical redistribution of economic and political power, then we see that for the last twelve years we have been in a reform movement…That after Selma and the Voting Rights Bill, we moved into a new era, which must be an era of revolution…In short, we have moved into an era where we are called upon to raise certain basic questions about the whole society." - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, May 1967

- A once a year 10 mile walk
- Seen as a classic fell race
- Skirts Howglls & Baugh Fell
The Sedbergh ten mile, sometimes known as the 'Wilson run' after Bernard Wilson who started the race, is nationally recognised as a great and challenging school run. It is only open to walkers on Ten Mile day, usually a Tuesday in March and the school organises a walk/run round the course in the morning. Enquiries should be made to Sedbergh School or Where2walk. The route is described by my brother Barry.
I was at school at Sedbergh and have never had any doubt that the Sedbergh 'ten mile' course is the best cross country course in Britain and probably the world. It also makes a fine walk. However I had not been round the course since I left school in 1973 so maybe it was time for one more go and on 'ten mile' day this year the sun was shining.
I drove to Sedbergh and met a fellow old Sedberghian in the car park who had just completed the course. Follow the Orange flags, he said, and when they disappear soon after Cautley, aim for Plantation. Good advice, as it turned out.
I set off from outside Lupton House and ran east along the road, turning off at Ten Mile lane and soon reaching Green Hill, the sun shining but a chilly wind blowing in from the east. Green Hill was bigger and steeper than I remembered and I was soon walking. A steep muddy path led down to Thursgill and this was followed by a long and equally steep slog up the other side. I jogged along a path wending its way pleasantly through the bracken and finally descended to Cautley. Now for the most difficult section over Baugh Fell.
The orange flags disappeared as I made my way onto Baugh Fell but soon the familiar sight of Plantation appeared and I ran slowly towards it. There is a path over this section but I didn't find it. Past Plantation now and back on the path to 'Muddy Slide' and Spectators Hill. I cut right to miss Muddy Slide and then walked as fast as I could up the other side. Downhill now as I made my way to Danny Bridge. It was a pleasant road run from there and I managed to get back in a time of just under two hours. Feeling chuffed I retired to the local coffee shop.
Later I watched the race and I have to say it was fast. I was standing at Library Corner when Jonny Campbell shot past, narrowly missing a van, and powered down the final straight beating the record by two seconds (his time was 1 hour and 8 minutes). A fantastic achievement, particularly as the record has only been beaten once since 1899, the golden age of Pumphries and Grandage.

My overall health has greatly improved. I have lost 65 pounds and 36 1/4 inches overall. My goal this year is to run in a 70 mile relay. My energy level is at an all time high and most days I can out play my kids. I enjoy shopping for clothes and I can fit in my wedding dress again!*
They gave me a vision of what I could be, what the rest of my life could look like. What I could look like. I had expected the whole experience to be something I had to endure, rather like an ongoing root canal, but it wasn't like that at all. It was fun, it was positive, and I enjoyed every minute of it.*
I needed a kick start and to re-focus. I have to replace my indulgent bad habits with healthy ones … and Lifestyle Fitness Camp helped me do just that. My cholesterol went from 248 to 218 in that short time … so it is headed in the right direction.*

A few pictures of what the general 3-5 inches of rain during this week created; pour-offs. These waterfalls occur when heavy rains work their way down mountain rivulets, streams, and gullies to the highways below. This is a very common sight the the Arkansas mountain country. These are near my home in Murray valley. Yesterday, Saturday 11/26 we registered another 1/2 inch rain the the gauge.
Hannah's Rock
Posted in Farms and Homes, tagged Hannah Rock Hannah Hollow rock garden Parthenon Arkansas on November 27, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Since the leaves have fallen, two giant slump rocks on the south side of the Little Buffalo River are exposed again. These rocks are off Murray Road about one mile west of Parthenon, Arkansas. These huge rocks; approx. 90 feet tall and 40-50 feet wide and deep, have fallen from Henderson mountain thousands of years ago (pictured below).
Directly across the Little Buffalo in Hannah Hollow is another equally large slump rock, this one had fallen off Reynolds mountain, and had a good soil buildup upon it from its years of gathering falling leaves. The old woman who lived there used the boulder for her garden for more than 20 years. She had a ladder leaning against the rock which she would climb up to plant and tend to her vegetable garden. Every evening she would pull the ladder down so that the fruits and vegetables were safe from garden pests such as raccoons, rabbits, turtles, squirrels, etc. With a half acre garden 30 feet tall with nothing but sheer rock walls surrounding it; it was a safe place.
View of Mt. Magazine from Hare Mountain
Posted in mountains, tagged Mount Magazine Hare Mountain Ozarks Ouachitas on November 27, 2011| Leave a Comment »
The following is a picture of Mount Magazine (AR's highest point) in the far distance, from Hare Mountain south of my home. Looking in the distance across the Arkansas River valley, just to the right of center you can see Mount Magazine on the horizon; in the Ouachita Mountians that run from southern Arkansas into southern Oklahoma and just beyond the Ouachita's is northeastern Texas. Hare Mountain, where I took this picture, is an infamous location where the first black-bear to hiker attack took place in 1990. The hiker from Wichita, Kansas was seriously injured. he had been sleeping in a tent with his food supply when the bear attacked. He is fine today and still hikes.
Rain today, snow tomorrow; the Buffalo yesterday
Posted in The River, tagged ponca boxley float water level mistletoe and arkansas on November 26, 2011| 1 Comment »
It is 60F this morning at 9:00 AM here in the Murray valley; there is rain and fog in the mountains; and the pour-offs are still running good. We are supposed to get about 1-1.25 inches of rain today and then a light dusting of snow on the higher peaks tomorrow. I'll be there for pictures. There was 1o" of airspace under Ponca Bridge on Friday and the river was floatable and clear at Boxley (a Class II-III ride). Beautiful !!
Drove to Compton yesterday, saw a few Elk (the rut his mostly over for the year) and took a few pictures of the Buffalo River at Ponca and Boxley; included below. The roads out of Compton towards the Hemmed-In Hollow Trailhead were impassable due to the week's heavy rain; couldn't get to Erbie either. Instead did some shopping and worked around the house.

TWO bright sparks at a Cradley Heath school struck silver in a national science competition.
Ormiston Forge Academy pupils Natasha Chifamba and Sherriff Shakoane took second place in the STEM challenge.
The pair reached the finals in Manchester after winning the West Midlands regional stage of STEM – an acronym for science, technology, engineering and maths.
Sherriff, aged 14, and Natasha, aged 15, were pitted against other regional winners to calibrate and programme a LEGO NXT robot to follow a track in an allotted time.
They then had to present their robot and the problems they came across to the other groups and the Lord Mayor of Manchester which won them a glass trophy and certificate.
Natasha said: "There were many difficulties - the robot's sensors were over sensitive and the steering wasn't smooth, but we worked together and overcame them.
"In the nick of time we managed to get their robot to follow a complex track at a competitive speed."
Proud teacher Jenny Onafowokan said: "They did a fantastic job, worked hard and performed well under pressure.
"To do this well in a national competition is credit to their team work skills and the way they conducted themselves."

Absolutely! In fact, the power of storytelling is palpable. It can make a difference between really standing out and simply fading away into the crowd of competition. Why?
Because no other business has your story.
Storytelling is one of the most powerful and yet overlooked ways to engage your audience in a meaningful way, both online and in offline traditional marketing.
As part of your content marketing strategy, it is a tool that will set you apart because here's the truth:
