You don't become an effective Scrum Master or Agile Team Coach (hereafter called the "Agile coach") by taking one or even a couple two-day courses. You have to learn it by doing it. This online workshop is based on the teaching technique called "flipped classroom." Each lesson teaches a key aspect of being a great Agile coach, then the students apply what they learn with their teams and meet online with an instructor for questions and help. Just as important, the workshop is designed to help Agile coaches create a solid support system for the team. This includes creating a set of templates that will support the team's work.

Many people get their CSM to improve their resume. The workshop provides an Agile Team accreditation by the True North Consortium. The workshop is significantly more advanced than the Advanced Scrum Master (A-CSM) course. An A-CSM merely means that people have taken four days of training and passed two tests. An Agile Team accreditation means students have worked with Agile teams for three months and have the tools to support them.
Companies can use the workshop to train their own internal Agile coaches and achieve better results, at a lower cost, than bringing in external Scrum Masters or even Scrum Master coaches. This is because your own staff understand your products/services, your organization and culture better than any outsider.
Note: We have a special licensing program for large companies where you can have as many coaches go through the workshop as you want for as little as it takes to train three or four Scrum Masters.
If you are kicking off new teams there are two types of coaches you can bring in. While it's useful to bring in someone who can actually help with the work, such as a technical or ATDD coach, when it comes to Agile coaches it's usually better to grow your own.There are several reasons for this:
The workshop enables people with a good understanding of Scrum and/or Kanban to become good Agile coaches in 14 weeks. It does this not only with lessons, exercises with their own folks and live with Net Objectives staff, it also provides templates and materials to support them in coaching their teams in Scrum. For more, read Why you should grow your own Scrum Masters instead of bringing in outside Scrum Masters.
Consider this: If you really want to bring in an outside Scrum Master Coach for three months, by shortening the engagement by one week, you can pay for three of your Agile coaches to be in the workshop.
What it takes to be a great Agile Coach
The workshop is based on the premise that just knowing how to do Scrum is insufficient. An Agile Coach must provide support to their teams and coach them in continuous improvement. The workshop includes a Team-Agile support system that both Agile coaches and the development team can use. It encompasses both Scrum and Kanban and is designed around Team Agility. Net Objectives believes that coaches should assist the people they are coaching to create new opportunities and better ways of working. The coach metaphor is used for someone guiding teams because, like a coach, they need to be proactive and encourage the people they are working with to make their own decisions.
Being a great coach requires an understanding of how to coach, of how to solve problems, and of the domain in which you are coaching. The curriculum of the workshop incorporates all three of these facets of great coaching. However, the workshop is not just about being a coach. Systems thinking tells us most of the errors made are due to the ecosystem people make. This ecosystem is not just how the team members work with each other but how they interact with the rest of the company. The workshop includes how coaches can identify and define the specific practices their team members should be using. Effective coaching involves a combination of coaching techniques and helping create a well-defined workflow their teams can effectively use.
The workshop goes well beyond teaching you how to be a coach. It includes understanding how to design a tailored Lean-Agile workflow and agreements for your team as well as how teach key mindsets that greatly improve team effectiveness.
There is also a module for Agile Coaches working in a SAFe environment.
Our Promise
We promise you that we will be responsive to questions and that you will get value commensurate with the effort you put into this program. Contact any of us directly with feedback or concerns. Send an email to email@example.com
Sections and lessons are self-paced so there are no lessons to miss. Students should expect to spend two or three hours a week on each section.
If you get behind, don't worry; just do the best you can.
The workshop is not just about creating better coaches, it is also intended to create an onboarding and leveling up approach. Coaches will be creating documents to describe the approach they create throughout the course. Here is what the documents cover.
Templates for some of these documents will be introduced at the appropriate session and then updated throughout the course. Others should be created by the participants themselves as reminders of their choices. At the end of the course these documents will be reviewed to ensure completeness.
Here are some of the templates that are covered.
The curriculum is designed to take people knowledgeable in Scrum to be good Scrum Masters. It is the equivalent of a three-day course over 14 weeks. The advantages of teaching it at a self-paced, online approach, include:
This also allows for the coaches to build their own coaching materials from templates that we provide.
The Advanced Scrum Master and Kanban Online Workshop assists team-level coaches to become great coaches and to facilitate the Lean-Agile approach the team should be using. While not anyone can go through the workshoip and become adept at being an Agile coach, those with a medium amount of experience can.
Participants are one of the following:

This section is to introduce you to the workshop.
What you will do
Coaching is not about having your team follow a particular framework or method. It is about being effective. Team Agility is a tool box based on Lean-Thinking that contains practices from Scrum, Kanban and XP. Coaches must understand where practices are effective and where they aren't so that they can help teams work effectively. We present Scrum as an example of this thinking so that both coaches and their team members can start with something familiar.
This will become the starting point of the work we do in the course. By starting with Scrum we are not meaning to imply one should start with Scrum. We are starting with it because it is the most commonly known approach. Later in the course we'll learn how to substitute practices when there are better ones available for your team.
Long-lasting improvement doesn't come from adopting new practices, but instead from adopting new ways of thinking and behaving. In this session you will review four mindsets we believe are fundamental to fostering such long-lasting improvements. They keep our eyes focused on the outcomes we want to achieve instead of blindly forcing practices, which would otherwise lead to dogmatism. By fostering these mindsets in their teams, coaches help their teams discover what they need to improve while establishing the right motivations for these improvements. These mindsets further help teams continuously improve their processes and practices because they're focused on outcomes.
Scrum is based on the premise that if you change your organization to follow the Scrum framework, Scrum theory, and Scrum values, then your organization will improve. We actually believe that if you can do this, your organization will improve. However, the cost of changing your organization may be higher and provide a lower return than taking another path that achieves the same objectives as Scrum, but in a way that fits your organization better.
We believe the right approach is to make a decision as to when it's more effective to change the organization to fit a framework or when to follow different practices that meet the same objectives of the framework more effectively and/or efficiently. Of course, this may take you out of the Scrum framework, so you'd no longer be doing Scrum. However, we don't think this matters. We should remember that we should focus on our objective and not worry about the particular method of getting there.
Systems-thinking tells us that the system is responsible for most of the errors that occur. While people have to be both responsible and accountable, the focus of the Team Agility Coach needs to be on helping create the best environment within which their team works. While the Team Agility Coach can't tell the team what to do s/he is responsible for working with the team to create a great environment within which the team works. This includes the team's agreements with themselves and other teams and roles.
Since we trust and respect our people, our focus turns to the system they are in. The premise is that improving the system will improve the work our people are doing. Making our mindsets, our workflows, and our agreements visible and explicit has great value.
Taiichi Ohno said that, "Without some standard you can't say "We made it better" because there is nothing to compare it to, so you must create a standard for comparison"1. He also said that, "standards should not be forced down from above but rather set by the production workers themselves"2. For a team to make their workflow explicit and visible, and to make entry and exit criteria explicit and visible, requires an agreement by the team on the workflow and the criteria. However, in order to reach agreement on these, they must be made explicit. The first attempts at doing either usually reveal the difference in what individual team members believe the workflow and criteria are, which then allows the team to gain agreement and alignment. Once agreed to and explicit and visible, it serves as a reminder, but even more so, allows the team to make improvements.
Furthermore, as the old proverb goes, "seeing is believing". A team who has visibility into what's being worked on, how much is being worked on, and what the work is linked with (e.g. stories to features, features to MBIs), is better able to make decisions that lead to optimal outcomes for the team and for the organization, than a team who doesn't have this visibility.
So establishing agreement within a team on their workflow and criteria, and creating visibility for the team into this and their work, provides information that the team can use to improve their workflow, criteria, and decision-making.
Net Objectives uses a set of agreements, called Guardrails, that we've found effective that we've found effective for people across the organization to agree to. These are:
Although the agreements are the same across the organization, how they are kept will be different. The purpose of a guardrail is not to tell people what to do but rather give them an objective and let them keep the agreement in their own fashion. The Team Agility Coach is responsible for both clarifying what keeping these agreements means for their team while also supporting their team in keeping them. The coach also is responsible for interacting with those outside of the team.
Many organizations attempt to have a single way to do things. Their motivations are often good such as:
Unfortunately, teams often find themselves in different circumstance and have need for different practices. This session discusses both what different circumstances will require different practices and how to get the benefits desired without forcing teams to all work in the same manner.
This session is an extension of the prior session where how teams worked within the bigger picture while retaining a degree of autonomy. In this session the Team Agility Coach looks to see how working with other teams can better work together when needed.
Realizing business agility is used as a guide so that teams can focus on how they need to work in order to optimize the bigger picture. This can involve many things such as creating core teams, loaning team members to others, using shared backlogs and how to work with shared services.
People have a limited capacity at which they can absorb information. It is tempting as a coach or trainer to provide more and more information in the hope that more will be retained. But in fact, the opposite is true. Throwing too much at teams can result in less learning and retention. This is also true in retrospections when a team tries to change too much. Learning in a small, but continuous manner ('kaisen') is usually best. Attempting too much change can result in no change as well as making it harder for future change.
Most people attending the academy are sent from their company with part of the intent being to create an on-boarding and leveling up process for their company. You will review how to create a starting approach for your Lean-Agile teams. If you are an individual coach, use this session to help you determine how to select a Lean-Agile approach for different types of teams. Learn the skill of creating an effective starting set of practices and agreements for teams based on their circumstances.
There is no one-size fits all. Each team-level approach (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, XP) has advantage and disadvantages. Each has its own set of practices which may or may not apply to you. However, each of these approaches were designed as a whole. Just changing practices without attention to this can have adverse effects. In this session we'll go over both how to add useful practices that you may not be doing as well as how to substitute current practices with new ones. Substituting practices requires care that the intentions of the practice being substituted is managed by the new practice.
The key here is not to abandon practices, but to find better ways of doing what you are attempting to have accomplished, getting to the root cause of the issue (which may not be where the problem is showing up) or take on a new practice. This ability to tailor our team level workflow will be used later in the course to create an on-boarding and leveling up approach for our team.
Each of the practices in Scrum, Kanban and XP have a certain intention. For example, sprints in Scrum are a way of focusing on what work will be done, ensuring small stories are worked on, giving a cadence to the team and more. For every practice there are other practices that could meet those intentions. Not all practices work everywhere, however. Therefore it is important that Team Agility coaches understand what alternatives they have to the common practices of Scrum and Kanban. This enables them to provide alternative practices when it makes sense to do so.
This session will introduce participants to a guidebook of practices so they can learn deeper what the intention of each practice is. They will also be taught how to find alternative practices when desired.
Games and exercises great ways to learn about things that are hard for people to face. For example, what they could be doing better or what challenges they are having. In this session we'll learn the following games:
Introducing change is not always easy. People don't necessarily resist change even though we often hear that. Coaches must understand how people learn and approach problems. Many of us tend to believe others think the way we do. This is not the case. Some basic knowledge on human learning and behavior is essential to be an effective coach. This session also discusses how to foster learning and change when working with people who seem to be difficult or obstinate. We'll discuss things like the fundamental attribution error, the Dunning-Kruger effect, double-loop learning, and habit-stacking. We'll also talk about transformation approaches and get clear about how easy it is to overload people with new information and practices. Much of this session will be taught by seeing all of these characteristics in ourselves as well.
What a Scrum Master needs to know. Different levels in what being a Scrum Master is.

Small basic napkins.
So, I had wanted a pretty immediate gratification project for myself this weekend.
Sadly the musical and other things took up that time. I had seen my friend N with lovely cotton fabric napkins and I really wanted to give a few a try.
I got one set done (detailed decorative stitch pictures to come later). One side is my fave purple flowers fabric and the other side is gorgeous batik I got as fat quarters.
Sadly, the fat quarters aren't full enough to make large napkins, so I made two small ones.
I washed the fabric before ironing, cutting and topstitching. The cotton is really soft, but the batik is kinda stiff. I hope that doesn't hamper the utility of said cloths.

April 27, 2007
General Cable Corp. announced today that it has agreed to acquire Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke GmbH & Co. KG (NSW), located in Nordenham, Germany from Corning Inc.
The transaction is expected to close on Monday. NSW had revenues of approximately US$120 million in 2006.
NSW is a global supplier of offshore communications, power and control cables as well as aerial cables for power utility communication and control networks.
The company has been in operation since 1899 and is situated in a location with a deep-sea pier capable of loading cable laying ships directly from their production facility on the North Sea in northern Germany.
NSW has manufactured and installed submarine projects throughout the world, including one of the world's longest hybrid submarine communications cable systems extending 8,600 kilometres linking 15 countries.
"Offshore cable demand is strengthening driven by offshore oil and gas exploration, renewable energy, as well as traditional power requirements to inter-coastal and island areas," Data General said in statement.
Also, after many years of maintenance level spending by global telecommunications carriers for submarine fiber optic cable, network capacity utilization rates have begun to increase.
With global demand for voice, video, and data increasing, telecommunications carriers are now looking to reinvest and add capacity in the global submarine network.

Here's a daunting question: what is your proudest work-related accomplishment?
When that question was posed to me at a recent Washington Global Health Alliance dinner, several answers came to mind, but I landed on one specific example because it best shows the impact of the work we do here at IDRI and why I chose to work in the field of global health.
To me, it's difficult to overestimate the importance of building capacity for in-country vaccine development and production.
Six years ago, IDRI began to transfer our adjuvant technology to Gennova Biopharmaceuticals, a leading Indian biotech company. As you may know, adjuvants are key components of today's vaccines, boosting effectiveness by stimulating the immune system. They can also improve a vaccine's reach through 'dose-sparing' – reducing the amount of vaccine needed for a dose and increasing the available doses of a vaccine supply many times over.
Within about a year's time, Gennova built a new facility in Pune, India, and we completed the transfer of our technology, including training scientists in adjuvant manufacture and quality control. Last year, Gennova shipped us the first batches of adjuvants made under current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) at their site in India. They sent us some vials to check through our quality control (QC) procedures.
Those adjuvants passed QC with flying colors and now Gennova can make adjuvants for use in vaccine trials for malaria, leishmaniasis, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. This means they are now self-sufficient and can help solve infectious disease issues in India, without reliance on the developed world.
Most importantly, this technology transfer prepares the world to be better able to respond in case of a pandemic. In 2009, I remember waiting, for hours, in a line that stretched around the block trying to get a pandemic flu vaccination for my daughter. If vaccine supplies were short here in the developed world, imagine what it must have been like in the developing world, where people were waiting for help that didn't come.
Now we are enabling countries to produce adjuvants and develop their own vaccines. And, in case of a pandemic, we'll need multiple adjuvant producers to cover all needs, so developing countries will play a key role in protecting the entire world.
I believe the issues of global health are going to be best solved with local input and leadership. In addition to India, we've transferred adjuvant technologies into Brazil, Romania and now Africa. The people in the countries where infectious diseases are most burdensome understand the problems best and can respond better to local needs. They have great scientists, but often lack resources and technologies. That's where we can help.
Transferring technology is empowering and that's an accomplishment I am proud to say I'm a part of.

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week! Today I wanted to post a review on a new hair product I recently picked up, the I.C.O.N leave in replenishing spray!
For the past few months I have been switching off between the WEN cleansing conditioner and the Macadamia "Flawless" cleansing conditioner, both of which are sulfate free and overall have really been great for my hair. However, I always like to put some sort of serum or spray onto my hair after cleansing, to keep it sleek and frizz free during the blow dry process. Normally I use "Its a 10" miracle spray, but when I ran out I decided to try something new, and what do you know?! I found something that I love even more!
This leave in conditioner is absolutely amazing and makes my hair so silky smooth. I have been using about 3-4 sprays, focusing on the hair from my ears down. The consistency isn't too thick, allowing for my hair to quickly absorb it. It also doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy or dirty!
Using this product with my WEN and Macadamia cleansing conditioners, I really have found my perfect hair care routine.
Interested in trying the I.C.O.N spray out? Check it out here.
Thanks for reading!

Book synopsis:
Forever stylish Vanessa E. Vasa was honing her observation skills when she bumped into Lanky Ella Lanesbury. Or rather Ella bumped into her, twice. When Ella reveals a conundrum, Vanessa is enlisted to help with the aid of her stoic lady's assistant, Mildred Ypres. Follow Vasa and Ypres as they humorously navigate London's Mayfair in their first, but hopefully not last, adventure.
My review:
Do you like British humor?
Do you like short stories that are extremely funny??
Then follow the link at the end of this review to buy Vasa and Ypres: A Mayfair Conundrum.
This book was hilarious. From the beginning scene where Vasa announces to an airplane full of people (through talking to her assistant Vpres) that her boobs are not even to investigating her frenemy Ella's conundrum to the hilarious ending, it was nonstop with the laughs.
It is written with a very dry British humor, so you do need to be familiar with that type of humor or have that sense of humor yourself. I, for one, greatly enjoy that type of humor so this book was great.
At 78 pages, this book will be perfect for the beach or sitting by the pool!!!
Will I read this book again? Yes
Will I reccomend this book to family and friends? Yes but only if they like dry British humor and understand it.
Age range? Teens on up.
Amazon links. Please remember that prices can and will change.
Kindle Unlimited (Yellow button that says "Read for free" on it. You need a subscription for this)
Kindle (Orange button that says "Buy now with one click" on it. Comes standard with any Amazon account)
Disclaimer: I received Vasa and Ypres: A Mayfair Conundrum for free from Vasa and Ypres for my honest review. I received no financial compensation for this review and all opinions are mine and mine alone.

Crusaders Lose Second Straight Conference Contest
Wilson, NC - New day same result for the Crusaders of North Greenville University as the Crusaders drop their ninth straight game stretching back to last season.
NGU was outshot once again this time by a margin of 21 to six. Barton forced four saves from goalkeeper DJ Baker, as the sophomore was bombarded all night.
Barton's first goal came just two minutes in as Erik Pajunk would score his fourth goal of the season unassisted on a breakaway goal.
Dante De Luca would add his third and fourth goals of the year in the 26th and 67th minutes respectively, his second goal off a free kick that deflected of an NGU defender. Barton would end their scoring in the 74th minute as Austin Tausch scored his first goal of the season.
The change in formation did nothing to help the Crusader's offense as NGU managed just one shot on target from junior Thales Wieczorek.
The Crusaders (0-5, 0-2 Conference Carolinas) will return home to host Limestone College on Friday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. in Pepsi Stadium.

Describe yourself in three words…
It's always one of those common interview style questions that potential employers like to throw at you!
My answer:
Honest, passionate and determined.
My biggest passions are running, teaching and shopping! I've been a city girl for the last 10 years now and live in Manchester with my amazing hubby and puppy Rupert.
I'm pretty new to the world of blogging, but I love words and having been an English teacher for the last 9 years, it seemed like a great way to share my journey and use language (and a few pics) to share the love!
Last Summer, I decided to fully step into the world of social media and share my experience as a runner, living with the incurable degenerative disk disease of the spine. I desperately wanted to help encourage and inspire others living with pain by sharing my honest thoughts and feelings.
In September 2016, I was overwhelmed to have been selected by UK Women's Health Magazine to be a top 5 finalist in 'The Body 2016' competition. Something that was beyond my wildest dreams and although I didn't win, the support and encouragement that I have received since then, has spurred me on to share tips on running, fitness, nutrition, health and beauty.
My motto and all time favourite hashtag… #nevergiveup
Would love you to follow my journey to my first marathon!

At the Hostess Appreciation Linda gave me this beautiful 3D pin she made. She actually used the Sizzix Big Shot along with the Flower, Daisies#2 & cut the pretty pink fabric with it. She also used one of our Antique Brads to put it together. Don't you just love it.

I received this beautiful accordion file at my Hostess Appreciation. Kelli made it just for me. Make sure to check out the inside also. This uses retired designer series paper, brads, Basic Pearls, buttons, ribbon & several punches.
Kelli always does a beautiful job. Thanks so much for the beautiful gift.

My Hostess Appreciation is suppose to be about me thanking my Hostesses but I received a couple gifts that day. This treat box or gift box is one of them. Thanks Barb.
Make sure you check out the next picture to see what is inside.
Barb used a couple retired Stampin' Up! stamp sets. Did some sponging, used Basic Pearls, the oval punch, scallop punch & scallop border punch along with some dazzling diamond glitter. Just beautiful.

I forgot to show you the little box I had for everyone to play the Left Right game. I was just a simple box using the Big Shot & the Fancy Favor bigz xl Die. I really didn't decorate it much but had little gifts like eyelets, chipboard & ribbon in them. I then punched holes & used a ribbon to make a bow & close them so everything wouldn't fall out if it fell as they passed them back & forth.
You could add punched pieces to them or use designer paper to dress them up more & use them for birthday favors at a birthday party, for May Day, a gift for Mothers Day or Fathers Day, Christmas, a Wedding Favor or any occasion? How about a just because?

Love this card Nancy did using the Embedded Embossing Technique. Also love how she lightly colored it using the Stampin Pastels on the background. I am going to need to buy the Lattice die soon as Barb continues to show me cards using it. Darn it Barb! She used the Big Shot, Lattice bigz die, Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder, white tafetta ribbon, silver brad, small flower punch, oval & scallop oval punch. Thanks so much Barb.

I was just wowed the other night at Open Stamping. Nancy brought these for a couple of us ladies. As much as I love Peeps I have to try not to open them as this package is so cute.
She used some retired Designer Series Paper & Satin Ribbon, linen thread, Decorative label punch, oval punch, several circle punches, Boho Blossom punch, Blossom Petals punch, Big Shot, Little Leaves sizzlet die, etc. Didn't she do a wonderful job?
Easter is almost here. Are you ready? Easter Blessings from Michele Schmidt, Waterloo, IA

My friend Nancy has been coming each Open Stamping night with several new items. I just love this. This would make a wonderful little gift for someone to just quick grab an appropriate card when they need one. You could even make a little box or tin to put them in. Stampin' Up! sells some cute Square envelopes to fit 3x3 cards. These can not be mailed but would be perfect to put with a gift or hand to someone. Thanks so much for sharing Nancy.
Open Stamping was so much fun last night. You will have to check my blog on Easter to see the gorgeous stamped gift I was given by Nancy.

Hope this helps warm up your day. Nancy stamped this card using a retired Stampin' Up! stamp set, a circle & oval punch & a couple brads. Isn't it adorable? Thanks for sharing Nancy.
Tonight is Open stamping at 6pm. Hope to see several of you there. Michele Schmidt, Waterloo, IA

Here is the last of my pictures of the Hostess Apreciation Event. Seemed to be another successful day. At the end is the projects we made.
Here is the start of STAMP (bingo). We played 3 games each with 3 winners. Then we played Blackout for a larger prize. Boy did I get lucky. With all the Stampin' Up! items they could make their card out of it came down to 2 or 3 left when we finally got a STAMP Blackout. We almost had 20 Blackouts at the same time. I would have had to quickly come up with some prizes if that had happened.
Sometimes I would really like to know what is going on in these pictures but this is just 2 fun loving & crazy ladies having a little fun.
Project 1: Card with large Paper Clip bookmark
Kelli Hansen & Nancy Carpenter were over one night & asked if I needed any help with anything as they knew I was a bit behind. I asked if they would want to come up with a card using a 4 in paper clip to be made into a bookmark. They worked very well together. Came up with the card & even cut all the pieces & bagged them up for each person. I just had to have the Snail adhesive, stamps & ink ready. Thank you both so much.
This used the following Stampin' Up! products:
Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit die, retired cardstock, retired grosgrain ribbon & retired designer series paper, Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, Scallop Edge Border punch, Fancy Flower punch, couple small circle punches & flower punches, Fun Flowers Bigz L Die.
The second project was an Inspiration Tin that could also be made into a little scrapbook or brag book if they would like instead.
Each side had 4 spots to fill. I thought it would make a good Graduation gift which I am using mine for but I also think it would be a great Mother's Day gift also. I am even making some using other retired designers series papers to sell this year.
Stampin' Up! products uses: Current & retired cardstock & Designers Series Paper. Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit die, Corner Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Photo Corners Punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Dotted Punch, Fancy Flower Punch, Modern Label Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Define Your Life stamp set, Smarty Pants stamp set, God's Blessing stamp set, Word Play stamp set, some retired Stampin' Up! word stamp sets, sponges & inks.
Thank you to all my Hostessess. I could not do what I do without all of you. I also want to thank my mother, Kathleen Hansen, for all her help over the years with a place for me to have all of you over and all the punching & cardstock and ribbon cutting she has done for me. I love you all.

Bondic… on my list of things to try out for better home repairs
We have been trying to reduce/reuse/recycle better, i.e. to get to a place where we have less but the things we have we like more. Minimalism if you will. I haven't tried Bondic but I plan to try it for the next plastic repair job.
Anyone else tried it?

F-Zero is a fast-paced racing game set in a future where life across the universe is integrated. A racing league featuring machines capable of speeds unheard of and the ability to hover over courses has contestants from all over the galaxy competing at a shot for the Grand Prize. At least, this is what most people would gather from reading the introduction and comic found in the original manual for the game, but really there's a lot more background story to this series than meets the eye, mostly told through character bio's and dialogue found in later games.
You begin this famed racing saga in Grand Prix where you choose between 4 machines each with their own performance attributes, i.e., Speed, Power (Machine Vitality) and Weight which affects acceleration. Then you choose from one of three Leagues and three Classes which vary in difficulty based on your experience. Once preparations are set you'll be thrust into the first race of your chosen circuit.
And thus, the countdown begins and you're off going up against other top contenders and a host unknown pilots who want to make a name for themselves. Only your reflexes and an S-JET boost which you acquire once per lap completion will help you come out on top. Along the way you'll come upon useful track mechanisms such as Dash Zones and Jump Plates, not to mention obstacles like land mines, magnetic railing and different types of terrain. Any collision whatsoever will decrease your Power Meter, so be sure to make the most of appointed Pit Runs to restore energy. In the end you want to rank in the top three by the end of the last lap in order to qualify for the next course. It's a good thing the controls are spot on because some of these races can be pretty demanding.
One of my favorite things about this game is the one of a kind soundtrack. Each theme, perfectly complimenting the visuals of its respective course while amping you up, makes for very exciting game play. Like me you'll probably find yourself coming back to these unforgettable classics time and time again.
In terms of replay value there really isn't much besides Practice Mode where you can run through courses; a few of which are exclusive to Grand Prix. There's also a Records viewer which can be used in order to challenge yourself and friends at best times, but I'm sure that won't be for everyone. To an even lesser extent try playing some of the less popular machines for an added challenge.
Everything considered, this is a five-star title that still holds the standard for what a racing game should be. People will gripe about its lack of multiplayer, but this is a standalone experience in my opinion and a split-screen would have just made for lackluster gameplay. This is by far, as they say, "the fastest, most punishing race in the history of the galaxy."
This is the first installment of the F-Zero series originally launched for the Super Nintendo in the early 1990s. Recently relaunched only for the New Nintendo 3DS family of handhelds following the Nintendo Direct on March 3.

Q. How do I access research from graduated Southern Scholars?
I'm a Southern Scholar with the assignment to look at a past student's work, particularly in my field, and Dr. Peach said that I could probably find the research here online.
All of the Southern Scholar's honors projects can be found in Southern's institutional repository, KnowledgeExchange@Southern. Here is a direct link to the Scholar's works: http://knowledge.e.southern.edu/senior_research/

Someone visited the sauna yesterday and cooled down in the lake -
but it wasn't me!
Everybody doesn't need fuel on the trip.
Great pics of your spring break. The schools here are closed all this week for spring break too. The weather is going to be mild so they should have a good time. There are only 6 school aged kids in town so we don't see them that often. The one high school girl travels over 200km a day to go to school, the younger ones about 90km. a day to the elementary school. A lot of time on the school bus but that's what happens when you are so far from town.
I have said it already but your fireside meals look delicious! What a fun sports break you have had Ella!

How's it going? I watched the hurt locker then my housemate made me curry. Pure nice. Need to tell her I'm moving out :\
If anyone needs to get anything off their chest or blow off some steam that's fine.
i've got a dilemma, DD
got a chance to do some work experience this summer at a local scientific institution. emailed them to see if they had anything on the off chance, and the guy has said he can give me a desk, a load of data (about either sharks or crabs and their migration patterns) and see what i can come up with.
only problem is - he can't pay me ANYTHING AT ALL
it would look real nice on my CV and stuff, but i kind of feel like i should be getting paid for doing work, whether it is interesting or not. usually i would reject offers like that on principle but i can't see myself doing anything more worthwhile, and as i say it would probably guarantee i can get some PAID work experience somewhere next summer.
what do you think?
depends how long it's for an how strict they are
If its only a few weeks or maybe a month and you don't have to be there at certain times, that's fine. Maybe try and negotiate some expenses?
If its a three month placement and you're relationship is akin to an employee or you are doing work normally done by paid staff, that's kinda bad. Excludes those who cant afford it and exploits you. It's your call dude and I know this stuff matters to you.
I mean
I the deal is basically here's. desk and some data, good luck! That doesn't sound like supervised work.Loui_Tacceh this'd this
it sounds like the work would be as much as grouchy thinks is necessary
with that amount of leeway for a research assignment I'd be tempted to do it, and I'm very much against the pathetic culture of exploitation and hypocrisy being waged on the unwaged
- Loui_Tacceh this'd this
- DarwinDude and twentynine this'd this
i know i know. just a bit pisstake-y as i know guys at uni who are basically doing that but with space data and getting £200 pw for it. also i know little to nothing about crab or shark migration patterns and mostly offered myself as a mathematics guy - i mean some guys i spoke to today were amazed that i knew about fourier transforms ffs - and am kind of intimidated by this. not really sure what i can get out of it outside of something on the CV
space data is totally fetishised, no?
migratory patterns are a bit less sexy even if they are (arguably) more relevant
yeah space data is bullshit tbh also. it was just an example
Any chance your findings would feature in a journal article?
If so you could insist on an authorial credit.
Still not the same as being paid but at least you'd have 2 lines on the CV out of it rather than just the 1.cocodaLOL this'd this
I'm going to watch Game of Thrones later. My daughter has expressed interest in watching it.
I'm looking forward to some excellent awkwardness during the sexy bits.
i'm watching the sopranos and there was a loud sex scene (richie and janice)
my mum came in with some clothes and casually asked what i was watching.
kill me now
my knee really hurts and it looks proper jank, like three seperate grazes
kind of like africa, australia and britain if they were all mixed up on the map.
Had to do a make shift plaster out of a squeezed (unfragranced) face wipe folded up and cellotape until I got to work. Surprisingly effective.
about to start writing some non-DiS shit
mute-branches should put his talents to similar use imo
I'm going to LONDON tomorrow for FOUR DAYS
It's exciting. I hope all those London people/Cockneys aren't as unfriendly and rude as my gran says they are.

Playing baldurs gate
Had to have a little break as its doing my head in. Going for a few drinks at TEN O'CLOCK. Ridiculously late. Who meets at 10?!
As good an excuse to link my favourite blog
Who posted Baldur's Gate yesterday:
GREAT review
Theres nothign better than reading a RPG review by someone funny and having little jumps in your stomach when you GET the HILARIOUS jokes. Ahhhh
ye DON'T YOU READ MY POSTS?!
moving back to Scotland in a few weeks Was nice knowing you guys, keep in touch.
Nah doing a masters
Although I'll be living with my parents. My parents who are btw the best housemates I've ever had. They've already got holidays, gigs and plays lined up to take me to. They're redecorating a room exactly how i want it, giving me free driving lessons, cooking me delicious meals, letting me use their extensive record collection and watch all their tv channels. Better than spending all my money on some grotty flat share. Don't even care about them being a bit scared to let me out at night cause I'm basically done with going out past about 1 o'clock. And they're both funny and interesting and normal. Actually can't wait to move in with them.DarwinDude this'd this
Then after that me and me bf are moving to Spain or South America
then I'll get a job. Probably just gonna do a phd tbh.
I tried to record a DJ set using my laptop
but I kept getting the pitch bend and volume confused. I gave up after 14 minutes.
Hey G,
3rd day of unemployment, pretty good. Ate chili con carne for breakfast, cycled through Wandsworth and went to see World War Z, then cycled to Haymarket and saw Before Midnight. Don't understand why people go to work when they could be having awesome days like mine :/
Get off chest: I fancy 3 people at the moment... one I think likes me back but she lives quite far away, one only likes me when she's drunk, and the other I just don't know but I'm working on it.
add. to that last part, I still think of my ex more than all those put together though.
Might give her a call. I still have so much chili left, it's great.
hope you're ok
Go with your heart EthanPickledOeuf this'd this
so in conclusion that would be my advice to Julie Delpy's co-star
As for you I would actually say the same thing. And dont be needy x
In Before Midnight Jesse called Celine "baldy"
That's what I used to call my ex :(
Ugh someone please delete me from the internet.
Well he wanted to move to Chicago to raise his son
but Celine was having absolutely none of it. Something about feminism.
remember all of the bad times, and why it ended, that's all. We all look back with rose-tinted glasses. (sometimes I think to myself 'hey was Carly all that bad?' for instance...)
Sometimes to feel safe in a time of uncertainty we want to go back to things we know, but the real challenge is keep going forward and coming out of the other side. You're an amazing chap so I have every confidence that things will all come good. I may be a little biased but those are my thoughts anyway.
Hey mate
Pretty mich got a lot on my mind atm. What to do?
I passed my driving test today and got a place in college.
Things are looking pretty great, hopefully this time next year I will be in a comfortable job living like a proper person.
Also got a practice space in Dublin and going to start having music fun with friends.
That's so good!
Hope you're celebratingPickledOeuf, furio, Lo-Pan, and TheWza this'd this
Sign language exam tomorrow that's pretty difficult to prepare for.
Other than that I'm pretty good.
I'm so tired
Wish I had something to get off my chest :(
If you can manage it, try to get some good sleep Bam, especially given how tough stuff has been of late
IME it tends to make everything better. Things i am furious about on a Monday night, i will laugh about on a Tuesday morning so long as I've had good sleep. Things which make me despair will still make me feel sad after a good sleep, but my sense of humour generally returns and leaves me feeling less sad and despairing. Obviously, this is just my own experience, but i don't think anybody ends up worse off if they get a few nights of good shuteye. X
Yeah I will go to sleep soon
But that does mean tomorrow comes sooner.
Thanks PO you are lovely :)
I now what you mean about the tomorrow stuff
I use insomnia as a procrastination tool mostly. Only recently realised that whatever shite the next day may hold in store is better tackled with a clear head and a fresh face.
I have realised it
Just not put it into practice yet.
Yo - i've decided I'm going to start making music again properly
What type of music should I make?
Sounds good
I'm going with that
Make bossanova.
No one does that these days
hey DD
my stupid job isn't giving me enough hours and its stressing me out because i want my overdraft cleared before i start third year so i can concentrate on my degree like 100%.
also I watched Manhattan last night and it made me a little sad I'll never be rich or successful enough to live there.
ok so my wife got home and we took Oppen for a walk in the local park which has a city farm in the middle
and I got a peacock to respond to my peacock impersonation!! :D
I'm in bed
I love being in bed. I might watch some netflix and try to sleep well tonight as i have another busy day tomorrow.
(DD, v excited about you coming back to glasgow. X)
I'm coming to Glasgow soon
Got a flat in the "west end".
End of July I think!
Will you be there?
I live in Glasgow too!
Or Maryhill?
Get it fucking round yeez
"the west end" crosses the Clyde now?
kind regards,
wza, merchant city eastjustanothersheeldz, fitzcarraldo, and PickledOeuf this'd this
- cocodaLOL and ElthamsmateOwen this'd this
i took my car for its MOT yesterday morning
and it cost me loads and loads of money and i didn't get it back until 5pm today. i had to go to slough and buy new wheels and everything.
just as well i decided to take it on a day when i had two days off in a row and didn't need to go anywhere
just got stopped and searched walking home from my run
and i had a load of biscuit wrappers in my pockets and the police quizzed me about some of the bands on my mp3 player. they didn't know that chino moreno was in palms anyway, the dicks.
They quized you your music?
And did they ask you to rank radiohead/national/weezer albums?
Oh no forgot to reply
Was watching Joanna Limmy's Nile
hahaha imagine putting dee dee one of those mad boat hings

This week the City of Edinburg is asking citizens to include walking or biking into their daily commute to work or school.
Edinburg will join other cities across the nation to celebrate its second annual National Walk to Work Day on April 2. The City has also officially proclaimed April 3 through 9 as Walk or Bike to Work and School Week in Edinburg.
�Livable communities which are walkable and bike-friendly and transit-oriented development are the way of the future,� said Mark Pe�a, chairman of the Edinburg Environment Advisory Board (EEAB) and coordinator of its CoolCities campaign. �Livability also significantly impacts a city�s ability to attract new businesses, residents and tourism. That�s what this initiative is all about � the sustainability and future success of our community.�
Since 2004, National Walk to Work Day in the United States of America has been held on the first Friday of April and is endorsed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the American Podiatric Medical Association.
For the second year in a row, the City of Edinburg, as part of its CoolCities initiative has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the city, and has issued an official proclamation celebrating National Walk to Work Day and Walk or Bike to Work and School Week in Edinburg. The city is promoting a minimum 15 minute walk to work each way, according to Pe�a.
�Taking the pledge is free, and pledges are simply a way to encourage citizens to make a healthy commitment to walking and biking and highlight some of the many health, environmental and economic benefits of these activities,� he said.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council (LRGVDC) is partnering with the city in support of this initiative and offering free bus rides on Rio Metro in Edinburg from Friday, April 2nd thru Friday April 9th, 2010.
The City is inviting citizens who are interested in being a part of this celebration to take the Walk or Bike to Work and School Pledge by committing to walk or bike to work and school at least once between April 2nd and 9th, 2010. Pledge forms may be picked-up at either the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce at 602 W. University Dr. or the Edinburg World Birding Center at 714 S. Raul Longoria Rd.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about A Simple Guide to Self-Publishing. I haven't worked on the marketing of it as I should, there has been something holding me back. Just a niggle, but it has been there.
So what is this niggle?
It wasn't something I was fully aware of at first, I thought it was self-publishing nerves, the doubts that we all inevitably have. What if our work isn't well received, what if (and you know how I feel about them) you get poor reviews?
It wasn't nerves.
When I spoke about the guide, I found myself having to explain the book more in-depth than I feel necessary. Was it that I hadn't nailed the blurb enough to create a short explanation? Did the fault lay with me?
Nope, not that either.
As I read blogs, and chat on twitter, I find myself (hopefully) advising people on the steps that they can take to make their own self-publishing experience a little easier. There is something very strange about what I am telling people, IT ISN'T IN THE BOOK.
And that's the problem.
My guide isn't as comprehensive as my knowledge. It certainly takes you through the basic steps, and I can, quite happily, hold my head up and say my guide does exactly what I set out to do. It is great for all of those who want to consider self-publishing that haven't already got a blog – for those truly at the beginning of their long journey. I know this because I have spoken to many people who are at that very stage. I think as 'bloggers' we fail to realise the amount of knowledge we gain from one another about various areas of the industry. I am not even convinced when we sign up for our blogs we know what the purpose of that blog will eventually be.
So I'm thinking…
I interact with writers on a daily basis, each at different stages of their career, each with their own goal. The one thing they all have in common is that they have already done the hard part, they have opened up to the world that they write. they want to have their work read. So the question I am now left with is, what can I do for them?
I have several options;
* Write 'A Guide to Self-Publishing'
* Forget about the writing a book thing and just continue to throw out advice as and when someone asks
* Update the existing guide, filling it with everything. It will intrinsically make it less 'simple', but it will certainly answer all the questions.
So what do you think? I have to say I am slightly stumped by what to do. My gut tells me to make 'A Simple Guide' free, once I have written a more comprehensive one. The idea being you will download the first one, like my interpretation of the process, and then buy the new one. However, I really like being free with my information, and I love helping people. At the end of the day, self-publishing is the one industry that says 'hey, look at me, im free' but when you take a closer look, free it definitely isn't.
The problem with writing a more in-depth guide is I know it will be extremely time-consuming. On such a tight schedule, can I afford to undertake a further project? Sure, I say I have more to add, but I would never add the information without checking it several times first. I would say my writing tends to be 90% research, that is a LOT of time.
As writers we are always seeking perfection. Our last draft is never final in our minds (even if it is on the shelves of Waterstone's). I don't think my doubts are that. I want to be proud of what I have done, and I am, I just think I could do more.
Am I rambling? I would love to know your thoughts. Oh and yes, this is self-doubt. (For the record I am afraid of writers that do not show self-doubt, there is something icky about them!)

A business can only be listed on the Better Business Bureau after being carefully scrutinized and proven to be authentic. Though not a governmental organization, the BBB helps consumers find businesses that can be trusted due to their reputation and consistent delivery of high quality services or products.
One of the things the BBB does is create standards that help protect consumers and businesses. These standards are carefully monitored and regulated, which is why the organization is able to give a list of businesses that comply with these ethical standards.
The organization monitors various advertisements created by businesses and carries out research to establish whether they are true or false. Businesses that publish factual advertisements are highly ranked on the BBB listing.
This organization continually plays an active role in encouraging ethical behavior among various businesses. It holds various trainings on how businesses can build and maintain good relationships with consumers in order to achieve mutual benefit, according to the Better Business Bureau website.
The BBB not only monitors businesses but also works to ensure that charitable organizations stay accountable. This helps donors know where and how their money is used.
One of the best ways to ensure safety in the marketplace is to check whether a business is listed with the BBB or not. If not listed, sending an inquiry through their website may help anyone acquire important information regarding any business.

Taking this course actually resulted in a lifestyle and diet change for me. While in conversation with individuals who have diabetes I am even able to bring things to their attention things that they were unaware of. There were so many things contained within the course that I was oblivious to. I have become an unofficial spokesperson suggesting people take this course. I believe that this course should be part of Junior High and/or High School programs so students/people can learn at an early age what preventative measures they can introduce into their lifestyles to prevent diabetes.

Well constructed easy to follow course loved it. Thank you professor.

I've completed only the first week and I have learnt so much about this common disease that everyone talks about and knows not so much. Thanks to the University of Copenhagen for making this available to all of us and me, so that I can know much more and help myself and my family.

I've known Jordan for about 10+ years now. I've always known him for taking great care of his pets. As long as I've known him all of his dogs we're kept well fed and In good shape... Always took them on nice long walks and kept them nice and bathed. He would be a great dog sitter.
About Jordan
Flexible schedule & loves dogs
I'm passionate about animals, dogs specifically. I'm 24 and I've cared for dogs since i was around 18-19 years old. I love dogs because they're super intelligent and playful. Dogs give you a reason to be responsible and by having to take care of them as you would yourself it teaches responsibility and character at a young age and I'm sure that my own dogs have helped me grow as ...

"Do you want me to leave?" Lucy asked. As much as he wanted to go further with her, there was no way he could bring himself to go all the way. What was he thinking?
"I'm getting a little tired of this game, Nick." Lucy scolded him as she got dressed. Nick wanted to kick himself for even taking her to his house, he should have thought about this better.
"Lucy, I really like you…but I think we are moving too fast?" Nick said, more of a question than a response. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed as he followed her to the door.
"I won't wait forever." Lucy said, kissing him gently before she left. Nick sat in his living room, trying to make sense of everything. The pink envelope caught his eye on the coffee table, the one he had found in the hotel a few nights ago.
"I'm coming for you…" he read. Nick still wondered what it meant. Who was coming for him….and when? Nick decided to go for a walk to clear his head….and that's when he found another envelope taped to his door. This one looked just like the other….pink with glitter. His hands shaking…he opened the note.
"I'm here…" he gasped. Nick dropped it and stepped back, his heart racing…looking around as if someone was going to attack him right now. He turned to go into the house, and that's when someone placed their hand on his shoulder. Nick screamed bloody murder, his body trembling.
"Nick…what's wrong?" a soft voice asked. Nick turned to face them, not opening his eyes. If they were going to kill him…Nick didn't want to see who it was.
"Look at me…" the voice said again. Nick finally opened his eyes and gasped.

It's about time.
That is, it's time to stop wondering and visit the "About" section of our website if you have questions about Santander Consumer USA (SC), the Dallas, TX-based consumer lender.
We'll tell you most everything you need to know, whether you're a borrower with a long-term relationship to SC or the company has just begun servicing your auto loan originated elsewhere.
And it all starts with the About section, where SC provides customers links to a company overview, fact sheet, press room, financial overview and our blog, as well as information about the company's charitable foundation, internships, careers and customer-facing social media channels.
Why does this matter to SC customers and interested non-customers, alike?
Quite simply, the section is useful, generating about millions of page views a year, according to Google Analytics, about nine percent of visitors to the website.
Even if most of the sessions are the "Contact Us" page, we know we're connecting with our customers.
It's not hard to appreciate why that page generates so much traffic since it contains mailing addresses, phone numbers, business hours and other information useful to customers and others.
The Overview, meanwhile, tells the story of the small group of entrepreneurs in the auto industry, including the company's former chairman and CEO, who started out in 1995 after leaving the dealership environment to focus on the finance side of the industry. That startup's growth to a multi-billion-dollar enterprise and part of a global bank (Santander Group) is a classic American success story.
Of course, there's a lot more to that story, including the company's initial public offering in 2014.
For even more about Santander Consumer USA, visit the Investors section, which provides news, events, financial information (including quarterly and annual reports), stock information and more.
Some other About pages and brief descriptions are:

Revolution and food
It has to be faced, but the Left is essentially middle class. All that thirst for justice and high principles just seems so connected to pissing the parents off. I know it was for me. But in the seventies something odd happened. Instead of championing the proletariat/working class/ordinary people, they dumped them. I think it may be connected to the rise of the credit card, sky sports and televised talent competitions, but it could also be that the Left realised that the 'working classes' didn't want to be championed.
So what did the Left turn to? Animals. Veganism, vegetarianism, environmentalism, deep ecology. Call it what you will, it comes down to cuddly animals and the fact that the animals can't tell their 'rescuers' to 'fuck off'. It's the moral certainties of the left combined with the animal sentimentality of the english: an unstoppable combination. For the last forty years there's been a war going on and few people have noticed.
'Meat is murder,' dead hunger strikers, the battle with hunters, transporting of animals, veal, foie gras, fire-bombing of restaurants and butchers. The inability to eat anything that looks like it may once have been alive: fish with the heads on or (god forbid) have bones, meat with blood, animal fats, freshness as a quality for fish, hanging as a quality for meat. Anything sold with plastic around it (including pot noodles) is the triumph of vegetarianism.
I don't accept Hugh Fearnly-Wittingstall's argument that we have a contract with these species that keeps them going provided that they give us meat. But I don't think we can eat meat by pretending that it wasn't once alive. My area's wildlife is being decimated by minks released into the wild by animal liberationists. It's true that I've watched minks and thought them to be cute small otters. But me, the mink and even the 'cuddly' polar bears know that meat (and fish, and game) tastes good.
How can you define yourself by what you don't eat? All moral indignation and squeamishness about blood. Where's your adventure and sense of possibilities. Dip the bread into the roast tray and just enjoy.

Born adventurers, Sagittarians dread the idea of spending their lives in one place. And why should you? You have the entire world at your feet and are never afraid to shoot for the stars. You crave adventures and new experiences and excitement, above all.
World travelers as you are, those of you born under the sign of the Sagittarius are know-it-alls and you have every right to be self-confident. You are, after all, the great philosophers and adventurers of the zodiac.
We love you for your free spirit and spontaneity and admire your independence and idealism. Not everyone can understand you, though. What you perceive as spontaneity, others can see as irresponsibility. What you think is straightforwardness, some may consider rude and aggressive. And you're also not a huge fan of commitment.
You may not be perfect, but you are definitely one of a kind. Here's what we think best describes you:
- People love you because you always see the best in everyone!
- They also love spending time with you because of your happy-go-lucky nature and optimistic outlook on life.
- Your friends can easily confide in you because they know you will never judge them. Your open-mindedness and enthusiastic nature are what makes you a good listener and an even better friend.
- You are definitely the star of every party with all your fantastic stories.
- Speaking of stories, you have no shortage of amazing tales due to your adventurous lifestyle and creative thinking. You don't have to be a world-traveler to know what the world is really about.
- But you really love traveling, though. You are aware that the real beauty of existence lies in exploring our planet and you see magic everywhere. There is not a single dull moment in your life and you are always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow.
- If you could choose how to live your life, there would definitely be no 9-5 jobs and running errands would be a thing of the past. You strongly dislike mundane activities and don't understand people who are afraid to leave their comfort zone.
- On the other hand, you can get pretty irritable when you get stuck in a rut and that tends to happen often – not by your choice, of course.
- The only problem is that you get bored easily and constantly need something to hold your attention.
- This is also w-hy you have some serious commitment problems.
- At the same time, you really want to find that special someone but are afraid that no one will be able to understand your need for freedom and independence.
- Some people also find you irresponsible…
- …although you would never describe yourself like that. You just don't want to spend your life on trivial things when there's a whole new world waiting for you out there.
- You do, however, perform well under pressure and you get the job done, sooner or later.
- Fortune always seems to be on your side and you have no problem whatsoever with taking risks.
- You'll make some bad choices and turn down some great opportunities, but what matters to you the most is that you have lived your life according to your own rules.
- Speaking of rules, you also don't have a problem with breaking them.
- Knowledge and curiosity are your biggest allies and there's nothing you love more than to spend an evening with a good book or someone who shares your philosophical and spiritual views.
- You are a strong advocate for justice and never doubt yourself when it comes to what's wrong or right.
- You are highly opinionated and always speak your mind. Nothing could ever persuade you to be dishonest – even if that means that someone is going to end up hurt.

Half of those surveyed said they are only waiting for the minimum pension.
A recent study by ING show that up to 75 percent of Poles do not save for their retirement, although the vast majority of them expect their standard of living in old age to get worse and give the most common reason for this as lack of available funds (42 percent).
Every fifth Pole says there is no need to save for retirement, according to the research.
According to a report by the Office of the President, pensions may amount to only 20 percent of the last salary. Other calculations indicate levels of 30 or up to 40 percent.
Today's pensioners get the first retirement pension in a range of 55-60 percent of their final salary. (jh)
