The Adair County Public Library has invited me to serve as discussion leader for their book club meeting at the end of April. We'll be talking about W. Bruce Cameron's A Dog's Purpose: A Novel for Humans.
This book has been getting extremely positive reviews in many major publications. The ratings on Amazon.com show that most readers really respond to its message about the role dogs play in our lives. There is even an effusive blurb on the front cover from Alice Walker (a Pulitzer Prize-winning author!).
While I understand such enthusiasm – the fact that it's written from a dog's point of view is novel and there are certainly many tender moments – my own opinion of the book is more mixed. Which means that we'll have something to talk about.
I'm not sure why they are promoting this book as a novel, because it's really a collection of loosely connected short stories about how we live with dogs. (Or that's what it should be.) This format is good for folks who don't have a lot of free time, because you can participate in the discussion even if you have only read a few chapters.
The discussion takes place on Tuesday, April 23rd at 6:00 PM at the Adair County Public Library in Kirksville. Hope to see many of you there!

Shooting range owners expand with Hooksett store
By DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
Phil Perry of Auburn checks out shotguns at Shooters Outpost in Hooksett on Monday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
HOOKSETT - The owners of Manchester Firing Line Range have expanded their sales department by opening a 10,000-square foot firearms store stocked with guns, ammunition and apparel.
Jim and Carey McLoud have been busy preparing the space for the Shooters Outpost, which opened Monday in the large log cabin building on Hooksett Road.
"By the time we opened the door there must have been 200 people waiting to come in," Carey McLoud said. "It far exceeded our wildest expectations."
The McLouds bought the building last fall while they were in negotiations to take over Riley's Gun Shop, a Hooksett staple 3 1/2 miles away that has been in business for 50 years. The McLouds said they planned to lease Riley's current location for a few years before moving to the log cabin building, which is less than a mile from Interstate 93.
"I always wanted to own an old-fashioned gun store and that's not what Manchester Firing Line Range is," Jim McLoud said. "This is my dream gun shop."
The deal with Riley's owner Ralph Demicco ended up falling through, and now Hooksett has two gun stores.
"He's endured a lot of competition over the years since he bought Riley's," Jim McLoud said. "He's one of the first to say 'business is business.'"
Demicco did not return messages seeking comment.
The McLouds' long-term plans became much more immediate when a tenant operating in their new building wasn't paying the rent.
"We had planned on leaving him in here for a couple of years because we weren't ready to do this," Carey McLoud said. "He then didn't want to pay his rent so we had to evict him and had to do this all a little bit faster than we anticipated."
The McLouds spent last winter going to trade shows, ordering the products that would stock the shelves and custom-made secure display cases to fill the two-story structure, which was built specifically for a gun store in 1987.
That business and a few others came and went over the next 24 years before the McLouds took over the property, which had a ready-made "outdoors" feeling complete with a large stone fireplace and hearth with half of a stuffed bison, complete with its front legs, mounted above.
The McLouds have also been busy shopping for other items to decorate the store, including antique wagons and toy cars as well as a pair of newspaper front pages from 1934, featuring the shooting deaths of gangsters John Dillinger and Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd.
There is also a custom-made chandelier made of elk antlers hanging above the entrance, which is secured by a roll-up steel door at closing time to protect the wide range of merchandise, which includes firearms, ammunition and reloading equipment.
The McLouds have an established reputation in the firearms business since they purchased the firing range on Brown Ave. in 1999 and many customers were counting the days until the new store opened.
That was reassuring to the couple, who have invested so much time and money into opening a new business when the economy is still shaky.
"As we've been prepping the store, I couldn't tell you how many people have come to the door," Carey McLoud said last week. "I guess any time you open a business it's always going to be a concern whether you're successful or not. I think that we've cornered a market that's not here. We haven't even opened yet and we've got over 1,500 fans on Facebook."
They are also confident in the Hooksett location.
Outdoor retail giant Cabella's was in negotiations to build a new store near I-93's Exit 11, but the deal fell through in 2008.
"We knew that they had done the research to see that that type of business was supported here," Carey said.

WILLIAMSBURG, October 18, 1770.
On Monday the 15 instant, about one o'clock in the morning, departed this life, mournfully lamented throughout this colony, his Excellency the Right Hon. Norbourne Baron de Botetourt, his Majesty's Lieutenant, Governour General and Commander in Chief of the colony and dominion of Virginia, and Vice Admiral of the same. Truly and justly to express the many great virtues and amiable qualities which adorned this noble Lord, as well in his publick as private character, would demand the skill of the ablest penman. Suffice it then to inform such parts of the world as were strangers to his transcendent merits that Virginia, in his fall, sorely laments the loss of the best of Governours and the best of men. Let his distant relations and friends be told that we have all anticipated, and shall, to the latest period, share their griefs and deep afflictions, and that we condole with them, with the warmth of the most tender affection.
Virginia Gazette (Purdie & Dixon) October 18, 1770
About this entry:
The tone of this obituary speaks to Governor Botetourt's popularity and conciliatory skills that temporarily reduced the friction between Virginia and the crown. Following an elaborate funeral, his body was interred below the chapel at The College of William & Mary, an instituion he supported by endowing a medal to be awarded for academic excellence. This prestigious award continues to be awarded today. As a measure of the esteem felt for Governor Botetourt, the General Assembly authorized funds in 1771 to erect a statue in his memory. The statue originally was placed on the piazza of the Capitol, was eventually moved to the yard in front of the Wren Building at the college, and now stands in the rotunda at the Swem Library of the college.

Vanessa Hudgens Covers 'Cosmo on Campus' Autumn 2013
Vanessa Hudgens shows off her boho chic style on the cover of Cosmo on Campus' Autumn Term 2013 issue, on newsstands now.
Here's what the 24-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On her BFF Ashley Tisdale: "Ashley always says she wants me to be more cautious. She thinks I'm too trusting. I think I'm fine the way I am, but she thinks I have a tendency to float around on a cloud, which I kind of do. She's quite protective – she always has my back. If you're my best friend, I'll trust you with my life. There's an assumption celebs only trust friends who are in the same industry, but it's not like that for me. If you click, that's all that matters."
On helping friends after a break up: "When a girlfriend is going through a break-up, you have to go out and dance. With your best friends, you've got to be there for them no matter what. I love taking my girlfriends away from their worries and enjoying life with them. If there's a problem, a bottle of wine goes a long way. It's the same after a long week of filming – a glass of wine and a bit of chocolate makes me happy. And I love a theme party! Give me a theme and I will dress up like there's no tomorrow."
On not loving partying: "I have never liked 'partying'; I love dancing, but that's as far as it goes. It's tough because a lot of clubs are everything I loathe, especially in LA. They're always very ego-filled and people get up to mischief. It's just not a pure environment. I stay away from [drugs] because I know it's smart to steer clear."
The full interview appears in the Autumn issue of Cosmo of Campus, available now on newsstands! The mag is also available as a digital edition on Apple Newsstand.

Anthony Johnson picked up his third consecutive victory at 205 pounds over the weekend at World Series of Fighting 1, and while we described the moment as best we could, words simply don't do justice to this Knockout of the Year candidate. Check out the moment above, in which Johnson, owner of the most cursed retinas in MMA, gets poked in the eye during an exchange with DJ Linderman, then immediately responds by turning Linderman into lumber with a single right straight. Even Johnson's former boss was impressed.
After the fight, Johnson began speculating wildly (our favorite kind of speculation!) about how crazy it would be if the WSOF decided to book him against Andrei Arlovski:
"I thought about that fight too, I'd take it if they offered it to me. I was actually thinking about it today. I was thinking about it today whenever I watched the fights, I watched the whole card today, and I was like it would be crazy if I got to fight Andrei Arlovski…If it happened, I would accept it. Andrei's a great athlete. I remember when he won the title, I remember when he lost the title, I've followed his career. He's a great fighter, a real athlete, a real fighter too, so it would be an honor to fight him. If it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't. That's just something that popped in my head this morning, what if it did happen? That would be crazy."
That would indeed be crazy — especially considering that AJ was competing successfully at 170 pounds as recently as October 2011. Then again, their size difference isn't much of a difference at all. Arlovski was also victorious in his World Series of Fighting appearance, TKO'ing Devin Cole in the first round of the show's main event. Arlovski has now gone four fights without suffering a scary concussion, which is as impressive an accomplishment as anything else that happened this weekend. Check out the Arlovski vs. Cole fight after the jump, and tell us who you think would win the hypothetical moneyweight matchup between Rumble and the Pitbull.

Jeannie & Jubi Hillery
571 Audubon St.
If you ask any serious cook and entertainer what his or her dream kitchen would look like, chances are it would look something like the kitchen of Jeannie and Jubi Hillery. With the renovations complete in January 2012 on their historic Audubon home, which sits on a quarter-acre of land, the Hillerys' luxe kitchen features both great design and great hardware, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, freezer and ice-maker and a six-burner restaurant-quality range by Wolf.
Other top features of the Hillery kitchen include a custom-designed and -manufactured hood, a stainless-steel sink built into the spacious island in the center of the room and a KitchenAid warming drawer. This item ensures that every dish prepared is served hot and satisfying, no matter the wait time, and it is a chef's delight.
Not only can this space produce gourmet-quality meals, but it also makes guests actually feel like they are in a gourmet-quality restaurant. The space is set off by beautiful Holiday beaded inset cabinets in Winter, supplied by Cameron Kitchen & Bath Designs. The inset style lends a modern and sleek air to the room that nicely complements the powerful stainless-steel appliances.
The Hillerys' renovation project was overseen by Cameron and Crane Builders. Sara Hillery oversaw the kitchen design, as well as the custom hood, along with Gerald Johnson of Cameron.

Alexander Ivanov was born in Leningrad (St.Petersburg), Russia in 1950. As a child he spent much of his time in the Hermitage Museum nurturing his interest in classical and ancient Russian art and by the age of 11 began to experiment with painting. At age 16, Ivanov began studies at the Leningrad Art and Graphic School where he received a classical training. It was his new found love of 60s jazz music and the influences of Chagall that began to be reflected in his work and cause problems with tutors and officials.
Given the social and polf itical climate of Russia at the time, Formalism and individualism would not be tolerated; Socialist realism was the only accepted form of art. Unable to live with the repression of individual expression, Ivanov left the art school in 1972, his 4th year and decided to search for freedom by joining a geological expedition to the North of Russia. As he always had a romantic notion, he decided to settle near Archangelsk. There he became absorbed with the traditions and folk art of the region. He adopted forms of Russian icons into his work and a traditional woodwork technique (Lubek) which can be seen in his work ever since.

text: Not only is more and more anemic credit created by lenders as its "sixteen tons" becomes "thirty-two," then "sixty-four," but in the process, today's near zero bound interest rates cripple savers and business models previously constructed on the basis of positive real yields and wider margins for loans. Net interest margins at banks compress; liabilities at insurance companies threaten their levered equity; and underfunded pension plans require greater contributions from their corporate funders unless regulatory agencies intervene. What has followed has been a gradual erosion of real growth as layoffs, bank branch closings and business consolidations create less of a need for labor and physical plant expansion. In effect, the initial magic of credit creation turns less magical, in some cases even destructive and begins to consume credit markets at the margin as well as portions of the real economy it has created. For readers demanding a more model-driven, historical example of the negative impact of zero based interest rates, they have only to witness the modern day example of Japan. With interest rates close to zero for the last decade or more, a sharply declining rate of investment in productive plants and equipment, shown in Chart 2, is the best evidence. A Japanese credit market supernova, exploding and then contracting onto itself. Money and credit may be losing heat and running out of time in other developed economies as well, including the U.S.

Performer: NETL Research & Innovation Center
Project No: FWP-2012.03.03 Task 2
Project Description
The gasification industry, in an NETL survey, indicates a desired on-line plant availability of 85-95% for utility applications and 95% for applications such as chemical production. Gasification facilities are currently unable to meet these requirements. This has created a potential roadblock to widespread acceptance and commercialization of gasification technologies. Refractory liners (and syngas coolers) are among key components of the gasification process identified as negatively impacting gasifier availability. Ash originating in the gasifier's carbon feedstock is the cause of many problems impacting gasifier reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM). At the high temperatures of gasification, ash changes to liquid, gas, and solid phases which wear down refractory materials and can cause fouling, either of which can lead to unplanned shutdowns for system repair. This research will increase gasifier capacity factor and RAM for lower cost of electricity (COE) via refractory development. Gasifier service life will be improved through both refractory development and research on additives to carbon feedstock that affect ash behavior.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Utah had seven players in double figures Tuesday and knocked off the Golden State Warriors 115-101.
Al Jefferson scored 24 to lead the Jazz, who have won three in a row, and Gordon Hayward came back after missing 10 games with a sprained shoulder and added 17 to the Utah ledger.
Randy Foye added 15 points and Paul Milsap and Derrick Favors score 14 apiece.
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 29 points. Curry was 12-for-22 from the field and 4-for-9 from 3-point range. Jarrett Jack scored 19 points off the bench.
Curry's 3-pointer early in the third quarter cut Utah's lead to one, but the Jazz responded with a 15-4 run that padded their lead to 81-69 with 3 1/2 left in the period. Utah outscored the Warriors 28-22 in the final period.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bill de Blasio, New York City's first Democratic mayor in a generation, has been in office nearly 100 days, a time marked by political hardball over pre-kindergarten, second-guessing over snowplows and an unfortunate attempt to eat pizza with a knife and fork.
A report card, of sorts, on the new mayor so far:
Most of de Blasio's time and energy was spent on his signature campaign promise — to tax the city's rich to pay for universal pre-kindergarten. That resulted in only a partial victory after the surprise entry of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who rejected the tax idea and offered to fund pre-k through the state budget.
De Blasio, however, got all the money he asked for — $300 million — and says all will be forgotten when the first of 50,000 4-year-olds start going to class this fall.
"He got pre-k on the agenda and then got it funded, even if it wasn't the way he wanted to fund it," said Kenneth Sherrill, retired politics professor at Hunter College. "He made something happen that wouldn't have happened otherwise."
De Blasio made legislation to expand the number of workers eligible for sick days the first bill he signed into law. He also withdrew the city's challenge to federal oversight of the crime-fighting tactic of stop and frisk, which allows police to stop anyone they believe to be acting suspiciously. Critics say the tactic is discriminatory because those stopped are mostly black and Hispanic men.
"He's been keeping his promises to his base, he's keeping them engaged," said George Arzt, former press secretary to Mayor Ed Koch. "These small victories add up."
His first crisis came when a gas explosion flattened two East Harlem apartment buildings, killing eight people. Observers believe he effectively projected leadership and compassion, devoting city resources to helping those affected by the blast.
De Blasio has been criticized for his sluggishness in appointing members of his senior staff — the Fire Department, for instance, still does not have a new commissioner.
And the new mayor's political shortcomings were exposed when several of his proposals — including a call to raise the minimum wage and scale back charter schools — were scuttled at seemingly every turn by Cuomo and Albany lawmakers.
Then there were a series of made-for-tabloid controversies de Blasio initially dismissed as "sideshows." Under pressure from "Today" show weatherman Al Roker, among others, de Blasio was forced to admit the city did not plow several neighborhoods effectively during one of the winter's many snowstorms.
He called the NYPD to inquire about the arrest of a political ally. He walked out of a news conference after his security detail was spotted speeding through traffic signals. And then there were the photos of de Blasio digging into his pizza with flatware, which he awkwardly explained by saying that's how real Italians (if not real New Yorkers) do it.
De Blasio, a longtime political operative, remains most comfortable in campaign settings while sometimes stumbling on the nitty gritty of governing. But most observers gave the mayor fairly positive marks for what is often called the nation's second-toughest political job, behind only the presidency.
"There's no one born yet who could manage someplace like this on Day One," said longtime Democratic operative Hank Sheinkopf. "He'll grow into the role."
"If I were grading, I'd put him in the B/B+ range," added Sherrill.
"There is a huge learning curve," Arzt said. "It'll take him about a year."
De Blasio, who was not available to be interviewed for this piece, is expected to devote his next 100 days to implementing pre-k, revamping Superstorm Sandy recovery and rolling out an ambitious affordable housing plan.

As part of VentureDeal's expansive coverage of technology startup company financing deals, we track the nascent equity crowdfunding industry in North America.
Equity crowdfunding portals are those that directly facilitate equity investments in startup companies, contrasted with other crowdfunding portals which enable end users to pre-purchase upcoming products, such as Kickstarter. These portals perform due diligence on startups as well as certify investors as accredited according to SEC guidelines.
Current StatusThe industry received a big boost recently when the SEC finalized regulations regarding general solicitation to accredited investors and proposed rules (PDF) about soliciting to unaccredited investors (quick summary of proposed rules). Crowdfunding portals are anxiously awaiting final rule promulgation to allow issuer startup companies to generally solicit to all classifications of investors.
Equity crowdfunding portals in North America that are generating significant volume are relatively few, as the industry is still in its infancy. Below is a listing of the top technology equity crowdfunding entities that VentureDeal tracks, in rough order according to volume:
AngelList - AL operates a crowdfunding portal that provides both private and public fundraising options for technology startups in major cities in the United States.
RockThePost - RTP is based in New York City and has raised nearly $24 million in crowdfunding financing via its online portal.
MicroVentures - MV has been raising financing for startups for several years and also operates as a broker-dealer.
SeedInvest - advised by the main proponents of crowdfunding legislation, SeedInvest has a strict vetting process for startups that it chooses to promote.
WeFunder - founded in Boston, MA, the portal enables individuals to invest as little as $1,000 per deal and includes a variety of technology and consumer-oriented startup companies.
Fundable - The portal provides the options for startups to raise either equity or "rewards" based financing and includes a variety of technology and consumer startup investing opportunities.
FundersClub - This San Francisco-based site describes itself as an "online venture capital firm" and does not perform "equity crowdfunding" per se, but does aggregate investors online for technology startups.
Crowdfunder.com - Based in Venice, CA - Crowdfunder.com has developed a portal to invest not only in technology startups, but also social enterprises and film & entertainment ventures.
Polliwog - focused on healthcare startups, Polliwog enables investment in individual life science companies or via its publicly-registered funds with a minimum investment of $5,000.
The above-listed sites generally include the same types of information on each deal, such as company description and outlook, deal terms, documents and disclosures and the ability to communicate directly with startup principals.
A number of service providers have emerged to help portals and issuer startups with the various requirements promulgated by the SEC, such as escrowing of investment funds, due diligence, bad actor research, financial statement certification, etc.
To date, industry-wide statistics on aggregate funding amounts have been impossible to obtain, no doubt in small part due to the "private" nature of many of the fundraising campaigns. Additionally, there are no aggregate numbers on investment successes, if any, that can be translated into rates of return on equity.
Crowdfunding, if it is to remain a viable option for entrepreneurs and investors alike, must communicate its results to the market. For the industry to grow over the long-term, it will have to demonstrate that investors are receiving an adequate return for their risky, illiquid investments. Otherwise it risks investor suspicion and fatigue.

In SEER*Stat, a variable is a dictionary entry which contains format groupings assigned to data values (values of data fields in the tumor record). Variables provide a mechanism for grouping individual data values into one statistic ("Ages 65+" is a grouping commonly used for analyses by age). A unique dictionary of variables is associated with each SEER*Stat database. The following terms are used for the 4 types of SEER*Stat variables:
- Standard Variable - Standard variables are the variables distributed in a database, they cannot be modified or deleted in SEER*Stat. These are created when the SEER*Stat database is created by processing the text data via SEER*Prep. A default set of format groupings are defined for most standard variables. For example, the year of diagnosis variables in the SEER 9 databases are distributed with one grouping for all years combined (1973-2015) and separate groupings for each individual year. Some variables, like histologic type, do not have any default formats, just a range of unlabeled values.
- User-defined Variable - a variable that you define based on one variable. Typically, you would create a user-defined variable based on a Standard Variable. For example, the "1973-2015" grouping for year of diagnosis would be inappropriate if you selected only 1992-2015 for your analyses. You would need to create a user-defined version based on year of diagnosis with separate groupings for the individual years (1992, 1993,...,2015) and, if desired, a single grouping for "1992-2015" combined.
- Merged Variable - In essence, a Merged Variable is a type of user-defined variable. A Merged Variable is a variable whose format groupings can be based on 2 or more variables. As an example, this may be used to create groupings to show cancer in specific age-sex combinations: "Women <50", "Women 50+", "Men <65", "Men 65+".
- Calculated Variable - A calculated variable is a variable that is not coded in the database; that is, the field is not on the tumor record. SEER*Stat determines its values based on the values of other variables and system specifications. For example, Age at Prevalence Date is a calculated variable used in Limited-Duration Prevalence sessions. The values of this variable are determined from the prevalence date selected for the analysis and either date of birth or date and age at diagnosis. User-defined variables based on calculated variables are displayed in a separate folder labeled "Calculated."

Rose Autumn Dress
Added Jan 19, 2012
by kihli
Zurich, Switzerland
The pattern is No. 119 from Burda 8/2011, without modifications except that I made it fully lined, and put a handpicked lapped zipper instead of an invisible one, for a more "vintage" feeling.
I struggled a bit with the collar, but with the help of some handstitching it went fine!

I love this pattern and plan to do it in teal twill wool fabric. How did you line it? I was thinking of underlining only since the raglan sleeve and the pleats at the top seem tricky to line. Could you please show the inside of your dress to see the lining?
1 Reply
Feb 3, 2012, 10.40 AMby kihli
Thank you! I just finally uploaded a photo of the inside. For the upper front part, I made a new pattern piece, converting the top pleats into a single bust dart. Then I stitched the neckline facings directly onto the lining and joined dress and lining at the neckline. The facings for the armhole and sleeve were sewn to the dress on the outside before putting the lining in, and stitched to the lining inside later, without turning them over. Does that sound logical? Let me know if the explanations are not clear enough!

Your power comes from a wide variety of generating facilities from all over the Midwest. NPPD uses a diverse mix of generation resources including coal, natural gas, wind, water, and nuclear power.
The power system is an interconnected grid that distributes power as needed from a wide variety of sources. From the power plant, electric energy is delivered through a series of lines and substations where the voltage is reduced to the proper level for end-use customers.
NPPD is a member of the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), a regional transmission organization. The Southwest Power Pool's primary focus is to ensure reliable power supplies, adequate transmission infrastructure, and competitive wholesale electricity prices.
NPPD is holding a variety of meetings to engage various stakeholders (property owners/tenants, elected officials, wholesale customers, agencies and interest groups, community/area and business leaders, and media).
The public involvement process includes:
-- Public Outreach Meetings
-- Public Open Houses (Study Area, Corridors, Alternatives)
-- Online Public Meeting
-- A Formal Public Hearing
At each phase of the Project, public input is used to help determine the opportunities and constraints throughout the routing process. Currently we are in phase 3 of the routing process.
The next three posters show examples of routing criteria NPPD has used in the past when siting a new transmission line. If you have any other examples, please share them with us through the comment form.
Throughout the routing process, NPPD coordinates with federal, state, and local agencies to help determine what environmental resources might be impacted by the Project. These resources include, but are not limited to: agricultural lands, sensitive, threatened and endangered species, cultural and historical resources, and water resources.
NPPD strives to build positive, long-term relationships with landowners and tenants. The goal is to navigate through the process of Right-of-Way permitting, easement acquisition, and post-construction so that these relationships can remain positive for years to come. This is why it is important to know how this Project affects you.
In the Engineering section we will explain the following; the type of structures that will be used on the project, typical structure locations and a description of the construction process.
In agricultural land, the line will generally be located along either section or half section lines. The structures will be spaced to minimize impact to agricultural operations. If center pivot irrigation systems are used, the structures will be spaced so that they do not interfere with their operation.
Stay Involved, Here's How!
NPPD wants to hear from you and answer your questions.
Your input is important to us.
You can continue to stay informed and involved by:
-- Visiting the website
-- Sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
-- Calling 1-888-677-3412
-- Following project news in NPPD newsletters, newspaper, and radio

Working toward a healthier weight is one of the best choices you can make to improve your health and well-being. There are many benefits to exercising, including having more energy and getting stronger. By keeping your weight at a healthy level, you can lower your risk of getting diseases such as:
Even losing a few pounds can have health benefits.
It can be hard to start a new fitness program. But before you begin, check with your doctor to see if it is safe for you to exercise and be sure to follow their instructions. Because you are trying to become more active, you should start gradually with exercises that you enjoy and that are not too tiring.
Keep in mind the following physical activity guidelines for healthy adults. Your fitness plan should have aerobic activities (cardio) AND weight training activities. You can meet the guidelines in one of these three ways:
In addition to doing weight training twice a week, you can achieve even greater health benefits by doing:
Aerobic Activities
Aerobic activity or "cardio" is any activity that gets you breathing harder and your heart beating faster. You should be moving at a moderate or vigorous intensity for at least 10 minutes at a time. Examples include:
Medium level cardio means you are working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat. One way to tell is that you will be able to talk but not sing the words to your favorite song. Moderate level activities are:
High level cardio means you are breathing hard and fast, and your heart rate has gone up a lot. If you are working at this level, you will not be able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath. Vigorous level activities are:
A rule of thumb is that 1 minute of vigorous-cardio is about the same as 2 minutes of moderate-cardio.
Muscle-Training Activities
There are many ways you can do muscle-strengthening activities, whether it is at home or the gym. You could try:
When weight training, be sure to exercise all of your major muscle groups:
Be sure you build up over time. That is, increase the amount of time and intensity of your exercise slowly. When beginning an exercise program, 5-10 minutes of activity may be all you can do. If you want to do more high level activities, slowly replace those that take medium effort. For example, replace fast walking with jogging. Also, be sure to stretch at the beginning and end of each workout.
I recommend you write down the type of exercise you do and for how long you do it in a notebook. That way you can see your progress. Do not be discouraged if you do not see results right away. Keep your focus on the process and celebrate the small steps along the way.

The teams then fly to the Twin Cities for the return leg on Sunday. Head coach Teitur Thordarson had the choice of playing the home game first or last and went against conventional wisdom by choosing the home game first. Thordarson made the move because it forces the Thunder to travel twice, flying out to Vancouver for Friday's game and then back home for Sunday's rematch. The Thunder and Whitecaps split their three games this year, with each team taking 1-0 road wins early in the season before a scoreless tie on Sept. 7 at Swangard. The last time the teams met in the playoffs, in 2000, the Thunder prevailed in extra time. The 'Caps enter the playoffs on a high after a 3-2 road win in Seattle Saturday. Eduardo Sebrango, Justin Moose and New Westminster-born Jeff Clarke scored for the 'Caps in what is their final USL game against the Sounders. Seattle is graduating to Major League Soccer next year, and Whitecaps brass hope that their next meeting will be in that league if and when Vancouver gets an MLS expansion franchise. The Whitecaps' victory was also meaningful because it allowed the team to clinch the fan-based Cascadia Cup for the third time in club history. Sounders, Whitecaps and Portland Timbers fans started the trophy and award it to the team that wins the head-to-head series each year. Vancouver previously won the award in 2004 and 2005. The Whitecaps withstood a furious early attack from the Sounders, as keeper Jay Nolly had to parry off shots from Leighton O'Brien and Sebastien Le Toux in the first four minutes. Nolly wasn't so lucky minutes later when Le Toux took a flicked pass from fellow striker Roger Levesque and slotted it past Nolly. The Whitecaps got all their goals early in the second half, with all three coming in a 13-minute stretch before Roger Sakuda narrowed the margin and set up a frantic final 25 minutes. Clarke's winner came off a diving header from Moose's corner in the 67th minute. © Burnaby Now 2008 Previous Next

For the Annawan-Wethersfield Titans and the Mercer County Golden Eagles, the playoffs start a week early.
For the Annawan-Wethersfield Titans and the Mercer County Golden Eagles, the playoffs start a week early.
Entering the final week of the regular season, the Titans are 7-1 and the Golden Eagles are 8-0. They face off at 7 Friday night at Wethersfield Memorial Stadium.
A Mercer County win makes it the outright champion of the Lincoln Trail Conference. An A-W win would mean a three-way tie for the title (assuming Stark County gets past Monmouth United) as all three teams would wind up 8-1 and all would have one win in their own personal three-team round robin.
"A share of the title would be huge for the program," A-W Coach Brandon Johnston said at midweek.
Johnston knows a win would mean more to the Titans than just a piece of the LTC trophy.
An 8-1 finish probably means a home game in next week's opening round of the IHSA playoffs. A 7-2 mark would make a home game something of a coin flip.
"We've told the kids there's a lot on the line Friday night," Johnston said. "There's the conference title, a home game to start the playoffs and, of course, a better seed in the playoffs."
The headline match-up in tonight's game is Mercer County's defense versus A-W's offense.
The Golden Eagles have given up just 44 points in their first eight games (22 of them in last Friday's win over River Valley).
The Mercer County defense has pitched five shutouts this season. The other nine teams in the conference have combined to produce just three.
On the other side of the line, the A-W offense has been hitting on all cylinders in recent weeks.
In fact, the Titans have scored 41, 41 and 41 in the last three weeks, a feat both noteworthy and unusual. In the game prior to starting the string of 41s, the Titans scored 40.
Running back Micam Smith has been a large part of A-W's offensive surge. He's rushed for 200 yards in three straight games.
"He's obviously played well," Johnston said. "But a big part of it is the guys up front also have been getting the job done."
Johnston said his Titans will have to be sharp on offense against the Golden Eagles.
"We have to be able to move the ball," Johnston said. "Their defense has been a strong point over the last couple of years, but it will be important for us to keep the ball away from their offense.
"We've gotten to the point where we're happy with where we're at, but we know we have to take another big step this week. And I think one of the biggest things will be playing mistake-free. We can't give them extra possessions."
Johnston named his starters for Friday's showdown.
Jake Bennett will be the quarterback. He'll be joined in the backfield by tailback Micam Smith and fullback Gunner Ince.
The line will include tackles Ben Foster and Tucker Nichols, guards Jordan Morey and Andrew Draminski, and center Blake Vincent.
The tight end will be Eric Bryan with Tanner Nichols and Trevor Lay starting at wide receiver.
The defensive line will feature Draminski and Vincent at the end spots and Carter Pillen and Foster at tackles.
The linebackers will be Brett Meier, Ince and Morey.
The secondary will be made up of corners Bryan and Lay, and safeties Bo VanOpdorp and Smith.

Flourysh necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 246 diseños de 61 diseñadores freelance.
Prophecy.co.za is an innovative online shop in South Africa. We sell computers, computer components, computer accessories, and other related electronics.
We also run a popular technology discussion forum
Our current site can be seen on http://www.prophecy.co.za (online shop) and http://www.prophecy.co.za/forums (Forum)
Our primary target audience is computer enthusiasts we build their own computers. They vary in age, but with a concentration of 18 to 30, and 80% are male.
However, we do want to expand the brand beyond this audience, and therefore want a logo that will be widely accepted.
We are looking for a clean, professional, "web 2.0" logo. The logo does not need to be similar to our current logo, we are looking for a new design.
- We are no longer stating
- Blue as main colour, secondary highlight colour (maybe red / orange? but we are flexible on the secondary colour - you are the designers!)
- Professional looking - we want to inspire confidence
- Modern, clean, relatively simple
- Cutting edge / high tech
- "high touch" feel - "really good design"
- visually appealing
- More simple and memorable than our current logo, less complex / busy than the current logo
- We will need the .psd files, in addition to Vector images.
Where will the logo be used?
- Both on the Shop and on the Forums - primary place customers will see it is online
- Logo will be used on merchandise (clothes, mugs, mouse pads, etc) - must be suitable for this, IE be simple (especially for embroidery for clothes)
- Logo will be used on shipping boxes - once again, a relatively simple design is better.
- If the logo looks good laser etched, that's a bonus!
- The ideal logo would be suitable to be adjusted / modified to be a Favicon
In summary: the ideal logo will be simple & memorable, leaving an impression of a proffesional and high-tech business.
Edit: Added 04 September - Just to be perfectly clear, we are moving away from branding ourselves as "The Prophecy Forums" and "The Prophecy Shop" and changing just to "Prophey.co.za".

This morning I had coffee with a lady from one of the emerging Asian private equity fund of funds. She told me that her team considers the Australian LP obsession with management fees quite bizarre. I am hearing this from every side at the moment.
There is a growing sense that our local LPs would rather negotiate low fees than deploy their capital in high quality private equity funds. I can't help remembering Colonel Cathcart in the novel Catch-22, who encouraged the squadron chaplain to pray for "tight bomb patterns." Whether or not his bombs hit a target was irrelevant to the mad Colonel, it was achieving tight patterns that mattered. Tight bomb patterns would look good on the aerial photographs and hopefully attract the attention of the top brass.
Overseas, management fees are relatively far down the mid-market LP agenda. To quote Sandra Pajarola from Partners Group*, "When investors complain about fees, they are mostly talking about huge funds. But there are only about ten of those globally."
Australia is a strange outlier in this respect. Many of our LPs appear absolutely obsessed with management fees. It's not uncommon for them to raise the question of fees in the very first meeting or phone call. So why is this? I have a few theories:
- Just 4 - 5 asset advisors control the majority of Australian LP capital. A strong personality or thought leader can have an influence on industry terms and conditions that would be impossible in the United States or Europe.
- Perhaps ironically, the earliest financial backers of Australian private equity were large union retirement funds. They are notoriously fee conscious.
- Our super (pension) funds are required to publish fund management expense ratios, or MERs. Unfortunately they often measure MER on drawn down, rather than committed capital. On this basis PE management fees will always appear disproportionately high and may draw the attention of the fund trustees. It takes a long time to discover whether a PE team has delivered good performance, but the management fees are evident on day one. And fund trustees are the top brass.
In the long run Australian LPs will lose this fight. The best performing managers will increasingly raise their money offshore (witness Quadrant's latest fund) and Australian LPs will struggle to access the local top quartile.
. . . at least they will have their tight bomb patterns.

Destructoid, Jonathan Holmes - "Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure is one of the most unusual games I've played this year. There is not much about it that follows any sort of familiar trajectory.
It's a story driven, rhythm-action RPG set in Paris. The main character is a skinny teenage burglar who doesn't care about money. He's a lot more interested in foiling the plans of the reincarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte and putting down his Putty-like foot soldiers with one-hit knockout punches.
While the game is packed with lavish 2D/3D cut scenes, the occasionally voiced dialogue doesn't always match the language of the corresponding subtitles. Every once in a while, the actors will say a phrase in French, but the subtitles will be in English, and vice versa. Maybe that was done intentionally? With a game this weird, it's hard to know where the "bugs" start and the "features" begin."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The honorary Oscar winners at the 4th annual Governors Awards include a stuntman who broke 56 bones during his performing career, a documentarian who has made movies for six decades, the founder of the American Film Institute and a philanthropist who has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for arts, education and health-related causes.
Hal Needham, D.A. Pennebaker, George Stevens, Jr., and Jeffrey Katzenberg will accept their Oscar statuettes from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Board of Governors at a private ceremony Saturday at the Hollywood and Highland Center. Clips from untelevised dinner program may be included in the Academy Awards telecast on Feb. 24.
Here's a look at the honorees:
HAL NEEDHAM was behind the wheel of a car flying 30 feet in the air when he realized he'd put too much gunpowder in the cannon he'd used to make the vehicle flip in the 1974 John Wayne film, "McQ." Needham broke his back and punctured a lung when he landed, but still felt his Cannon Turnover invention was a success.
"I just backed the powder way down and it became a real slick way of turning a car over," the 81-year-old said in a recent interview.
The veteran stuntman and inventor, who went on to write and direct action classics including "Smokey and the Bandit," won the academy's Scientific and Engineering Award in 1986 for another of his creations: The Shotmaker Elite, a camera car and crane equipped with its own generator.
"That just goes to show you that you don't have to be the smartest person in the world to figure out what works and what doesn't," he said.
He quit performing stunts when he made "Smokey" in 1977. He regards the film among his proudest achievements. His last film credit was in 1999 for the TV movie "Hard Time: Hostage Hotel."
For the past year, Needham has been traveling the country promoting his memoir, "Stuntman!: My Car-Crashing, Plane-Jumping, Death-Defying Hollywood Life."
He said he was "in a little shock" when he learned he'd be receiving an honorary Oscar for his entertainment contributions: "I never figured someone like me, with my background and everything, I didn't figure it would get to this point, but I'm happy it did."
Still, he says stuntmen don't need annual recognition from the Academy Awards, as some have suggested.
"Stuntmen bring a lot to the film industry, especially in action films, but if you start trying to give an Oscar for a stuntman, say he doubled a star, I think that takes away from the star's value," Needham said.
D.A. PENNEBAKER has been making documentaries since 1953, and he was nominated for an Academy Award for 1993's "The War Room," yet he's still overwhelmed when he considers his honorary Oscar.
"It's sort of a cross between a Nobel Prize and being the fourth batter for the New York Yankees," he said in an interview from his home in New York.
The 87-year-old said he's always been "a little uncertain about the idea of films competing or any work of art competing against other works of art," but understands that awards are ultimately good for business.
"Anything you can do to increase the awareness of these (documentaries) — including giving me an Oscar — is probably useful. But in a way it's kind of like giving somebody a moose," he said. "You're not sure what to do with it, but there it is! ... Especially for directors, when you win the Oscar, then the thing sits on your head and says, 'What are you going to do next?'
Pennebaker and his wife and partner of 30 years, Chris Hegedus, are currently at work on a project "that some people think is ridiculous and we think is really fantastic" about an attorney who hopes to get an oppressed animal legally declared a person. The maker of the seminal 1967 Bob Dylan film "Don't Look Back" is also considering a future music project with the band Yo La Tengo.
GEORGE STEVENS, JR., was 11 years old when he attended his first Academy Awards, and he wasn't too happy about it.
"I gave up a very important twilight double-header that the Hollywood Stars baseball team was playing because my mother told me that I was going to accept some award" if his father, director George Stevens, won for 1943's "The More the Merrier." ''Casablanca" won instead.
The younger Stevens' second trip to the Oscars was better: He was with his dad, who won for directing 1951's "A Place in the Sun."
"Driving home, the Oscar was on the seat between us, and I was young and quite excited," Stevens, 80, recalled. "(My father) looked over and smiled and said, 'We'll have a better idea of what kind of film this is in about 25 years.' And that affected my life. What he was talking about was the test of time."
Stevens went on to dedicate his career to honoring and preserving just such timeless projects, helping establish the American Film Institute in 1967 and the Kennedy Center Honors 10 years later. He continues to produce the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, a job he now shares with his son, Michael. But Stevens remains so dedicated to the task that he's flying to Los Angeles for a few hours to accept his Oscar, then immediately jetting back to Washington, D.C. to put on the Honors program the next day.
"I'm thrilled that the board of governors chose me, in part because I have so many shared values with the board of governors and the academy in terms of films of quality and film preservation and training opportunities for new filmmakers," Stevens said. "That makes it especially pleasing."
Stevens, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his own 1963 documentary short, also continues to make movies. He and his son are working on a documentary about Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Herblock.
JEFFREY KATZENBERG says he doesn't really deserve the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, the academy's recognition of philanthropic contributions.
"The only thing I did was ask everybody else, and they're the ones who did it," the 61-year-old DreamWorks Animation chief said in an interview, humbly downplaying the more than $200 million he's helped raise as chairman of the Motion Picture and Television Fund and the millions more of his own money he's given to support arts, education and health care.
"I feel as though this is their award," he said, "and I feel like I'm accepting it on behalf of my own community here because they are the ones that have responded and allowed me to succeed in supporting all these great charities."
Katzenberg first learned about being charitable from his parents, whom he described as "generous givers." As a young professional, he followed the examples set by Lew and Edie Wasserman, who introduced him to the Motion Picture and Television Fund, and lifelong philanthropist Kirk Douglas, whom Katzenberg characterized as "a great inspiration."
"He's one of the most generous people I know, and I asked him why he did it," Katzenberg recalled. "He said, 'You haven't learned how to live until you learn how to give.' And when those words come from Spartacus, you listen."
Katzenberg was nominated for an Oscar as a producer of 2002's "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron," but says his proudest moments have stemmed from giving.
"The most moving and most tragic and, in a way, most rewarding for me personally was after 9-11, we had this amazing telethon where all of the talent of movie and television and music industries came together and did this unprecedented two-hour live concert," he said.

alz.org >> Funding & Collaboration >> Partnerships
Text Size
As a global leader in Alzheimer's research, the Alzheimer's Association operates in a spirit of inclusiveness, seeking partnerships throughout the scientific community to propel the field of Alzheimer's research forward. We lead through innovation, bringing together government, industry and academia to increase funding and accelerate discovery. Key partnerships, such as our longstanding relationship with the National Institute on Aging and sponsorship of the World Wide Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, continue to move us closer to new prevention and treatment interventions.
Our partnerships have resulted in:
1. Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
2. Alzheimer's Association Business Consortia (AABC)
3. Alzheimer's Study Group
4. American Academy of Neurology Foundation
5. Animal Model Consortium
6. Biomarkers Consortium
7. Cerebrospinal Fluid Quality Control Program
8. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Healthy Brain Initiative
9. Coalition Against Major Diseases
10. Everyday Technologies for Alzheimer Care
11. Food and Drug Administration
12. Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center Health Research Alliance
13. Health Research Alliance
14. Multi Domain Intervention Trials for Memory Disorders
15. National Institute on Aging
16. Research Roundtable
17. Working Group on Technology
Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)
The Association is a major sponsor of ADNI, a global, field-wide collaboration to standardize brain imaging procedures, ensuring that images obtained by different researchers at various locations will capture the same medical and scientific information.
The initiative also hopes to determine whether imaging, possibly in combination with lab and psychological tests, can offer a way to detect the earliest signs of Alzheimer's, track disease progression and monitor response to treatment. Learn more »
Alzheimer's Association Business Consortia (AABC)The creation of the AABC in 2014 was facilitated by the Alzheimer's Association to increase the effectiveness of small companies in diagnostic, therapeutic and service sectors focusing on advancing the Alzheimer's field. Modeled after other successful consortia, the AABC focuses on streamlining dialogue between companies, fostering collaborations, and sharing resources and information.
Alzheimer's Study Group (ASG)With no national plan to combat Alzheimer's in the United States, the Alzheimer's Association along with congressional leaders called for the creation of the independent, nonpartisan Alzheimer's Study Group (ASG). The ASG evaluated the government's current efforts and presented recommendations, which included the creation of the Alzheimer's Solutions Project within the federal government, in the publication A National Alzheimer's Strategic Plan.
This report led to the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA), signed into law by President Barack Obama on Jan. 4, 2011. NAPA creates the first national framework for a strategic plan to overcome the Alzheimer's disease crisis and to ensure the coordination and evaluation of all national efforts in Alzheimer's research, clinical care and residential and home- and community-based programs and their outcomes.
American Academy of Neurology FoundationThe Alzheimer's Association and the American Academy of Neurology Foundation together established The Robert Katzman, M.D., Clinical Research Training Fellowship. The fellowship supports the clinical research training and career development of promising scientists.
Animal Model ConsortiumThe Alzheimer's Association and other stakeholders joined forces to develop a better animal model of Alzheimer's disease, resulting in a "triple transgenic mouse" incorporating three human Alzheimer's genes. For the first time, the triple-transgenic model formed both plaques and tangles–the two hallmark Alzheimer's abnormalities–in approximately the same brain regions affected in humans. Animal models allow scientists to examine how proteins such as beta-amyloid and tau interact to cause Alzheimer's and can be used to test future therapies.
Biomarkers ConsortiumThe Association is a member of the Biomarkers Consortium, a private-public partnership aimed at accelerating the development of biomarkers. Biomarkers are an area of intense focus by researchers as they have the potential to measure the physical changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer's and help track the progression of the disease.
Cerebrospinal Fluid Quality Control ProgramEstablished and funded by the Association, the Cerebrospinal Fluid Quality Control Program works with scientists to standardize the measurement of protein levels in the brain with cerebrospinal spinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers. As investigators around the world start using CSF biomarkers in clinical trails, standardized measurement is imperative for accurate and consistent data.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Healthy Brain InitiativeThe Alzheimer's Association partnered with the CDC to create a national public health "road map" to help Americans sustain cognitive health as they age. Learn more »
Coalition Against Major DiseasesThe Association is a member of the Coalition Against Major Diseases, which focuses on the development of tools and methods that may further development of new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. These tools are made publicly available for use by scientists and commercial developers in the hopes that sharing will help to facilitate breakthroughs. Recently, the Coalition developed a shared database containing information from 11 Alzheimer's clinical trials; this database continues to expand.
Everyday Technologies for Alzheimer Care (ETAC)
Established by the Alzheimer's Association and Intel Corporation, this collaboration aims to develop new technologies that may compensate for functional impairments, enhance care and treatment strategies, foster independence, and improve the quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers.
Sponsored by:
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)As part of an effort to expand the field of Alzheimer's research with new talent, the Association has partnered with the FDA on a research fellowship program that places young academic clinical scientists. Through its partnership with the Association, the FDA has also expanded its FDA Advisory Panel to include individuals living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers as consultants. This provides an opportunity for those with the disease to offer their perspective on topics such as clinical trial design and guidelines for clinical research.
Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center Health Research AllianceThe Association and Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center work together to further Alzheimer's treatment development. As part of this partnership, the Association reviewed its funded grants to identify potential Alzheimer's treatment targets. Of 14 targets identified, 12 were pursued by the industry and one by the Harvard drug discovery program.
Health Research AllianceThe Association participates in the Health Research Alliance, a consortium of non-governmental funders of health research. The consortium's health research database makes it possible to assess what areas of Alzheimer's research are currently being funded and where investments will have the greatest impact.
Multi Domain Intervention Trials for Memory DisordersThe Association has invested in the first large-scale prevention trial for dementia: The Multi Domain Intervention Trials for Memory Disorders (MAPT). The study will evaluate the efficacy of a multi-domain intervention (nutritional, physical and cognitive training) and omega-3 treatment in the prevention of cognitive decline in people aged 70 years or older. The study is also collecting imaging and biological data for use in future prevention and treatment trials. Final results should be available in 2013.
National Institute on Aging (NIA)
One of the Association's most productive and long-standing collaborations is with the NIA. Our partnership stimulates federal Alzheimer's research initiatives and helped establish the critical infrastructure necessary for clinical studies, including the nationwide network of Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers, the National Alzheimer's Genetics Study, the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) and the National Cell Repository for Alzheimer's Disease (NCRAD). One of our strongest NIA partnerships supports the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), a groundbreaking federal investigation to identify and standardize strategies for earlier diagnosis and disease monitoring. ADNI's overarching goal is to speed development of effective treatment and prevention strategies. The Alzheimer's Association and the NIA also collaborated to issue new 2011 criteria and guidelines for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Research RoundtableThe Association convenes the Research Roundtable to facilitate the development of new treatments and overcome obstacles to scientific discovery. Members include thought leaders from the industry, academia and regulatory agencies. Learn more »
Working Group on TechnologyCreated by the Alzheimer's Association, this initiative was borne from our Everyday Technologies in Alzheimer Care grant program. The Working Group on Technology and its members promote funding and sharing Alzheimer's health technology research findings that can assist individuals affected by Alzheimer's and help them retain independence as long as possible.
Next: Research Roundtable »

I've read several great posts over the last month that all address the theme that you need to 'stop caring' in order for your blog to grow and prosper. Each of them make the point in different ways that your blog will be more successful when it's about you and it's sharing your thoughts. 'Stop caring' about what other people think and focus on what you're passionate about. Conceptually, I think it's great advice. But for me; the theme is missing one important element. I need to focus more on not being afraid rather than stop caring.
Maybe I'm warped and narcissist but the fact is that I do care what other people think about what I write. Honestly, if I didn't care I wouldn't bother. I'd rather talk to people than blog to them. Why am I blogging? Well, I want to get my ideas out there to be seen as a thought leader and I'd like to make some money doing it over time. There, I said it. Don't hate me for it.
Here are 3 'stop caring' blogs that made a lot of sense to me.
Here's a summary of the key advice Sean shared in his blog (it's the first one in the list above).
So…my big nugget of advice for you, regardless of whether you're just getting started or have been in it for a while is to stop caring.
Stop caring about how many subscribers you have.
Stop caring about how you rank from a search engine perspective.
Stop caring about how many followers you have on Twitter and how many retweets you get.
Stop caring about whether your blog post is going to go viral.
Stop caring about whether your friends, mom, boss, or wife likes your blog.
Then…when you've stopped caring about those things.
Start caring.
Start caring about content that is meaningful to you.
Start caring about making sure you are passionate about your topic. If it doesn't turn your engine, don't write it.
Start caring about your time. Spend it efficiently and effectively.
Start caring about writing things that help you grow.
Start caring about sharing the experiences that you have inside of you.
All of that advice is great. But as I chew on the advice and try to make it my own I keep focusing on the idea that I need to stop being afraid of what others will think about what I write. I care a lot. That won't change; or I should say, that if I stop caring I'll simply stop writing. Writing is hard for me. It's not fun or cathartic. I want to write because I care about what you think. But sometimes I don't write because I'm afraid of what you will think.

summertime saturdays.9Saturday, August 16, 2008
This was probably my kids favorite Saturday morning during the entire summer. Because they got to eat fruit loops. Only at grandmas. Still nice and slow. With actually nothing planned all day. Fresh fruit for me. Sweet pineapple, ice cold watermelon and juicy ripe peaches. Oh! And coffee. That I drank out of one of my parents souvenir coffee cups. Australia today. Does anyone else have parents that collect those souvenir coffee cups from the places they visit? I wasn't a fan of them for a long time, but now I treasure them. And the stories that go along with them. I just might have to purchase a Florida coffee cup.

One of my favorite mugs is a souvenir mug I got on vacation...it's got palm trees on it...good memories! Have a great week!ReplyDelete
Your kids were no doubt in heaven today! My fave cereal to eat at Grandma's was 'Sugar Pops' which now have been renamed 'Corn Pops' (as if that makes them less bad for you!).ReplyDelete
Oh, and you and Keana Lee are ON, once school gets going I am meeting you girls at Knit One pronto!!

Our family does T-Shirts that usually are only worn by the little ones. At one time my whole family had matching St.Thomas shirts. There might be a picture somewhere...ReplyDelete
Speaking of travel, coffee, and souvenirs.,.my mom is a globe trekker and I am trying to convince her to bring back coffee beans from each place she goes instead of T-Shirts.
I agree with MadMad, your photo makes the Fruit Loops look de-lish!
the girls just got home from camp grandma where they ate froot loops and trix for 10 days....needless to say, they were a bit disappointed with the choices i offered!ReplyDelete
enjoy your vacation, leslie.
my kids' favorite saturday morning of the summer is always the one when they get to eat fruit loops! driving to the beach, we always sleep in a hotel 1/2 way (the drive is SO long) - and in the morning, they get to eat fruit loops from the breakfast buffet. once-a-year. why are the fruit loops so much better than the waffles and pancakes and sausages and bagels and eggs we feed them every weekend morning!?ReplyDelete
My foster mum used to collect tea towels from all over the world. Some she would hang on the walls of the kitchen. I thought she was a bit daft, but now I see where she was coming from.ReplyDelete
one daughter collects spoons and the other pins , from wherever we go. the baby , well we don't have one for her yet. personally i love fruit loops! i never eat but i do love 'em! glad you are having fun!ReplyDelete
That's why we love our grandmother's. Spoil us they do. I have fond memories of visiting my grandparents and sitting in their kitchen and eatind Yodels and RingDings - something we never had at home!ReplyDelete
I've recently found your blog, and are making your Toast and Toasty mitts! I just had to comment and say, YES! My parents (who live in South Florida where I'm also from) collect mugs from places. I only drink from the souveneir ones when I visit :)ReplyDelete
Thanks a ton! It is definitely an fantastic webpageReplyDelete

Ubuntu Linux has millions of fans. What's not to like? A free operating system with ten thousand free applications, websites covering everything you might ever want to know, tutorials, active forums, and more. Yet for all these benefits, situations pop up when you want a faster, lighter operating system. Perhaps you have an older computer, or maybe a netbook or a mobile device. Wouldn't it be great to have a lightweight Ubuntu? That day has finally arrived. Lubuntu offers a way to stay in the Ubuntu family -- with a product that performs better and uses fewer resources.
