Nothing like a little Snoop Dogg to put some Zappos in my dayIn business models, the secret on April 14, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Ahhh the thrills of being a business owner. Thank you Zappos, Snoop Dogg, Start Ups Live and most importantly my team for all the inspiration.

Zappos.com – "The Road To A Billion And Beyond"In business, business models, leadership, management, the secret on April 14, 2009 at 11:03 pm
I am absolutely exhilarated to to be visiting the Zappos headquarters tomorrow in Vegas. My company team has been vigorously studying the phenomenal Zappos culture which we do our best to emulate each day. I have personally been a fan of Zappos since about 2002 after discovering the site was the fastest loading site on the web. Being the geek that I am I was fascinated and had to know how they did it. I think their upload time was under 3 seconds and with a homepage full of graphics. Completely impressive.
Zappos.com is all about their WOW effect "delivering 'WOW' through service". From their lightening speed delivery times, Monopoly Game, Culture Book, sending flowers to a grieving customer, 100% satisfaction guarantee free return policy, upload times, in house Life Coach – Dr Vik! and now Zappos Insights helping businesses achieve "The Road to a Billion and Beyond."… Zappos WOWs me.
A little something from their Monopoly "Wow" cards:
"Take a leap of faith on a new venture, pay each player $50"
"Take a step outside of your comfort zone, collect $150"
"Reap the reward of taking a risk, collect $50"
Future Billionaire Girl in the making!
Venture money is dried up not because of the economy, but because all the money went to Twitter. Ha!In business models, fundraising on February 13, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Twitter raises 35 million this week in addition to what they already have. Woo hoo. No business plan, no monetization model. Now that's setting an example. Here I thought Bart Simpson was a bad influence. Go Start Up go. Take the money and run to Switzerland. When did being a business stop being about making money and start being about raising money?
Costume change to "I've Got a Golden Ticket"In business models, fundraising, sanity on February 9, 2009 at 9:46 am
Considering this blog was always intended to be a positive resource for business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs and just plain and simple geeks I've altered the title a bit. It was called "I'm Gonna Get Funded Damnit" as a satire to all those people who are overly concerned with raising money rather than making money. Lets forgo business models and focus on fundraising! – What! Hello, businesses are here to do two things; Solve a problem and make money – Done. So I changed the name to something a bit more mystical. Seeing that so many people search the term "golden ticket" maybe that's what we're all looking for. But don't you see the Golden Ticket is within us all if we just forge ahead and trust our instinct. Sometimes it may be scary and other times exhilarating, but if we never try how will we know if we would have succeeded. Okay, enough with the Gandhi talk. Hope you find the tips, tools and perspective you need from this blog and enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
Authentic online business success stories in this crazy web 2.0 worldIn business models on December 31, 2008 at 9:20 am
As for me; I'm onto web company number 3 and plan to power network my way through this recession and continue to build a billion dollar organization.
Secrets to their Success has been very helpful over the past decade. I can't believe how consistently raw and straight forward it always is.
Not kidding. Reading these people's candid interviews on how they made their money online and the tools they used to do it has taught me so much over the years and helped me apply the same tactics. And the interviews are kept up weekly so I am constantly reading the most up to date information of what works.
Um yea… the banks ran out of monopoly moneyIn business models on December 5, 2008 at 1:25 am
I know people are going through really hard times, but as an entrepreneur I can't help but be so excited. Right now is the true test to see how strong our businesses were built. Apple Google Virgin Air were all built when money was tight and people weren't spending. This just forces us to build organizations that " make an enormous and positive difference,' as Branson says.

air fryers, AOVE, baking, chocolate olive oil cake, Deep fried olives, Deep-fat frying, EVOO, health benefits of EVOO, Mediterranean Diet, North American Olive Oil Association, Olive Oil, poaching, Spanish Olive Oil, The Olive Oil Diet
On opening the cupboard in my Spanish friend's kitchen recently I was surprised to find only one type of oil – Extra Virgin Olive Oil. "But where are the others?" I asked. "What others?" she replied, completely mystified. "Sunflower, Corn, Rapeseed, Olive Oil" I listed (and I hadn't even started on sesame, peanut, coconut …)
After several minutes of me explaining how I use each oil my friend looked at me aghast. "But I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for all those things" she concluded genuinely perplexed. Which got me thinking, researching and experimenting and here are 3 things that I discovered, and that you might not know, about cooking with EVOO:
- Frying
Perhaps the most controversial area of cooking with EVOO is whether or not it's suitable for deep-fat frying (although nowadays many of us either avoid this at home completely or use an air-fryer which uses only a spoonful of oil). The short answer is YES. Arguments tend to focus on the smoke point of an oil and those refined oils (such as sunflower, corn, vegetable and ordinary olive oil) tend to have a smoke point of around 220 degrees C while EVOO is usually quoted as having a smoke point around 190 degrees C. When you consider though that this is also the ideal temperature for deep frying chips, you can see why those skinny fries served in many Spanish bars not only taste so good, but are also pretty healthy.
In addition to the huge volume of evidence about the value of EVOO as part of a Mediterranean Diet, there are also plenty of studies showing the nutritional value of cooking certain foods with EVOO.
Fat soluble vitamins such as Vitamin E (in Carrots for instance) are more readily absorbed by the body when cooked in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Fish and shellfish similarly benefit from EVOO cooking as higher levels of both Vitamin E and polyphenols are absorbed by the body than would be the case eating fish and olive oil separately. Similarly, the antioxidants in olive oil help to prevent the breakdown of Omega-3 in the fish.
- Baking
EVOO can be used to bake everything from breads to pastry and cookies to cakes. Where you have to be more careful is
when switching from butter, margarine or lard (which are solid fats) to olive oil (which is a liquid). In this case, simply reduce the amount to three quarters of the original quantity. Thus, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of butter, use 3/4 cup of oil (or 150 mls of oil for 250 grams of fat for those who prefer weights to volume). Although of course there are many fabulous recipes available, where the author has done the hard work of conversion for you such as The Olive Oil Diet by Dr. Simon Poole (a full-time GP and renowned international commentator on the Mediterranean Diet) and Judy Ridgway (acclaimed food writer and olive oil expert).
- Poaching
Yep, you read that correctly! This method of cooking is the exact opposite of deep frying as the food is cooked very slowly on a low heat, submerged in olive oil. This long cooking time breaks down the connective tissue in the meat resulting in a beautifully moist, tender texture.
You might think that submerging food in oil for a long time would result in a finished dish that is greasy but, in fact, the opposite is true.
The oil's function is to keep the liquid inside the meat and as we all know that oil and water don't mix so the oil forms a thin layer on the outside of the meat without being absorbed into it. There's a great sounding recipe for Confit of Chicken in the most recent issue of the North American Olive Oil Association's (NAOOA) blog. They also advise that fish, garlic cloves and onions are delicious made using this technique and that the oil is reusable after cooling and straining.
So there you have it, three great new ways to add super healthy Extra Virgin Olive Oil into your cooking.
Until next time.

Professional Skin Retouching Photoshop Tutorial by Jessica Kobeissi
In this extensive tutorial Photographer Jessica Kobeissi demonstrates her skin retouching techniques for one of her fashion portraits. Essentially, Jessica uses the frequency separation technique. However, she names the Low Frequency layer as Skin and the High Frequency layer as Texture. Then she goes into the Skin layer to blend uneven tones with the healing brush. (Note, you can use a variety of tools and brushes here such as the paint brush, clone tool and mixer brush.) After that Jessica carefully clones away parts of the texture layer.

Oclaro demos CFP2 LR4 transceiver and speaks on six panels
At the OFC/NFOEC 2013 show in Anaheim (19-21 March), optical components, modules and subsystems developer Oclaro Inc of San Jose, CA, USA is highlighting its 100G networking expertise with a live demonstration of its LR4 CFP2 transceiver in booth 2701, several new product introductions, and participation in six panel discussions and various technical paper presentations.
Oclaro says that CFP2 transceiver technology is being widely adopted in optical networks because it features low power consumption in a form factor that is half the size of first-generation CFP products. The live demo demonstrates interoperability with a Xilinx Virtex-7 HT FPGA (field-programmable gate array) and is reckoned to be the first demonstration featuring an MSA-compliant CFP2 and an FPGA with a direct 25Gbps x 4-channel electrical interface according to the recently released OIF CEI-28G-VSR specifications. Using a direct electrical interface without a separate gearbox lowers the overall system cost and is expected to accelerate the overall deployment of 100Gbps client-side interfaces.
"To deliver on the promise of 100G and beyond, our customers are demanding higher density, lower power and increased performance — all of which are enabled by higher-data-rate solutions such as CFP2 transceivers," says Tadayuki Kanno, president, Oclaro Japan Inc & general manager, Modules & Devices business unit.
"By using the Xilinx Virtex-7 HT FGPA and Oclaro CFP2 optical modules at 25.78Gbps, we have demonstrated a robust integration of 100G networking systems through real-world CFP2 implementations," says Gilles Garcia, Xilinx's director of Wired Communications. "Reducing bill of material cost, power, footprint and board complexity are achieved through the combination of Xilinx 28Gbps-capable GTZ transceivers and Oclaro optics, thereby enabling the move towards a smarter network."
Announced last September, Oclaro's CFP2 transceiver is roughly 50% the size of all other CFP solutions on the market, claims the firm, increasing system front-panel port density from 4 ports to 8 ports. The smaller size is achieved by reducing the number of electrical lanes from 10 to 4 by applying a 25Gbps per channel electrical interface instead of 10Gbps and hence removing the gearbox from the module. To achieve the smaller size, more integrated in-house optical components are used, based on Oclaro's optical device technologies. In addition, the CFP2 transceiver can optically interoperate with first- and second-generation CFP transceivers, allowing users to quickly and cost-effectively transition to CFP2 designs as market requirements evolve. The CFP2 is designed to be fully compliant with the relevant MSA, IEEE and ITU-T specifications.
Oclaro's participation on OFC/NFOEC panels
During OFC/NFOEC, Oclaro is speaking on six industry panels and presenting several technical papers, some of which are highlighted below:
- 18 March (16:00) – 'Executive Forum: The Future of the Optical Component Industry', speaker: CEO Alain Couder;
- 18 March (9:30) – 'Executive Forum: Building Massively Scalable Optical Networks', moderator: Per Hansen, VP product marketing Optical Network Solutions;
- 19 March (12:00) – 'VIP Industry Leaders Networking Event', speaker: Per Hansen, VP product marketing Optical Network Solutions;

- 19 March (15:00) – 'Market Watch: High Speed Pluggable Optics for Data Center', speaker: chief commercial officer Yves LeMaitre;
- 20 March (13:00) – 'Market Watch: Components looking for the Booster Rocket', speaker: Robert Blum, director product marketing Photonic Components;
- 20 March (09:15), Paper – 'Uncooled (0 to 85°C) and full C-band Operation of a 10.7 Gbit/s InP Mach-Zehnder Modulator Monolithically Integrated with SOA', speaker: A. Nakamura, Oclaro Japan;
- 21 March (14:15), Paper – 'C-band Operation of LGLC Tunable Laser with Low Filter Current and with Stable SMSR against Filter Deviation', speaker: A. Nakamura, Oclaro Japan.

This is a technical demonstration of the dynamic system rig – there is also a link to the actual Dynamic Rig maxscript and on the BBF website .
Dynamics, in 3D animation, refers to a rigged system that moves secondary to a main object and usually does so automatically, where the animator can control certain characteristics to their liking. Real life representatives of this would be how the tail of a dog sways with its movement or how the feather of a quill dances as an author writes. Aspects of movement the animator would control in 3D would be things like how much the dynamic should sway and how rigid it would appear.

| Get my pies
outta the oven!
We just bought a house that needs a good amount of cosmetic work and my wife asked me to get the living room done first.
I get the many cracks and dings patched and sanded, wash all the walls and ceiling with TSP. The ceiling is straight up dingy and dark, so I put good coat of Kilz Original which is very thick and oil based and takes time to put up and spatters like crazy with a roller.
I get all the prep work done and my wife is getting antsy and a little upset with me for taking "too long" in her opinion to get this done. I'm kind of a perfectionist who doesn't want to do a task unless it can be done properly and she's from the opposite side of that spectrum who just wants to "get it done" no matter how it looks.
So she has her dad come over to help me paint because apparently I'm not working fast enough. He's slapping blue tape up all loose and crooked (ARRRGH) and is just a bull with a roller, SLOPPING paint everywhere on the walls. There are sags and drips and roller marks EVERYWHERE. All the careful prep I did before, it's like none of that even matters now.
Anyone ever go through something like this? This is why I don't often ask for help and maybe that's an issue I need to overcome and not be such a perfectionist, but having to work with someone who is just slopping paint all over the place is very tough for me.
I'm on your side here, I'd rather it done right & take a little longer, than it be done sloppily.
Luckily, my wife & I are mostly on the same page here.
The Enemy's gate is down.
|It's not you,
it's me.
I hate when people try to help me with stuff like that. Especially my father in law.
Love the guy, but I have my way and he has his.

|Experienced Slacker
The bold lettered item is the source of the problem.
My guess is you already reached the same conclusion, but if not, that is my humbly submitted answer .
|Unapologetic Old
School Curmudgeon
Yes, I am the same way. Either do it right or not at all. And some times my wife will get upset because if I don't have time to do it right I wont do it.
You need to have a conversation with her, in the future I will not do any projects with anyone else, I don't want or need help. If you cant handle the extra time, then we wont do it at all.

|Thank you
Very little
maybe her dad is just telling her in his own way he doesn't like doing this stuff, but can't say no, so he does it half assed in order to not be asked back LOL
I know a lot of guys that can do the work but won't so they don't have to do it, then go play golf...
"My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them." Winston Churchill
Just finished doing our master bath for my wife. She knows I do it my way or it will not get done. She had others help her twice in the past. She did not like how it turned out. Now, she just lets me do it my way.
You can always consider it a textured finish.
Yes...I have gone through EXACTLY what you're talking about. I'm a perfectionist just like you, and this led to MANY arguments. It literally sent me through the roof every time. First, the criticisms that it's taking too long. Then comes the hack who thinks they're going to save the day and fuck it all up.
I feel your pain. Sadly both my dad and my FIL are extremely talented and capable at all sorts of home repairs and construction projects.
They just don't work the way I normally do. I'd often rather work alone.
One day I will miss having them to lean on...that's what I remind myself.
Yes, Para does appreciate humor.
The worst part is how much longer it takes to fix all of those drips and sags,after you get pissed off from looking at them for months and months.
I helped my parents flip houses when I was growing up so I know how to do a lot of home repairs, I just have to "be in the right mood" to do a project.
My husband had never even hung a picture before we got together. Right now he is attempting to paint the basement. I told him the jist of what he needed to do, then told him to watch some YouTube videos. He did come up & ask me to grab 1 of his hats because he was getting "dirty" (I assume he means paint is splattering) I really want to go check it out, but then I will tell him something he needs to do, then he'll get mad at me so I'll just wait til he's finished or comes hollering for help.
I am proud of him for attempting it, regardless of how it turns out
|His Royal Hiney
My wife has learned there are some things that I need to finish by myself. Other things she needs to light a fire under my ass. And still other things she needs to subcontract it out.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I would loose my shit, thank God this would never happen in my case. If it did I would throw his ass out of my house and make a complete ass out of myself. Luckily my lady knows how I roll and allows my OCD to flow.

I would tell him thanks, I don't need that kind of 'help'.This message has been edited. Last edited by: nasig,
I hear you and sympathize. My Father always taught me that the least expensive way to accomplish a task was to spend the time to do it correctly the first time and spend the money for quality products and tools needed for the job.
So it drives me absolutely nuts to be working for someone who grew up on a farm and will spend 100 dollars in labor to "save" a nickel. What this means is that if duct tape or bailing wire will sort of work that is what you use even if that "fix" only lasts for a day or two.
I've stopped counting.
|Resident Knuckledragger
Wifey is all about the bandaid fix, I'm about doing it the right way the first time.
This is the only true problem we have in our relationship.
|Striker in waiting
Stupid question, and yes, I'm married, but is there a "safe" way in your particular marital dynamic to tell her, "I told you so"?
That would be rewarding, but I'm guessing not possible.
I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888

This zippered pouch tutorial will make a wonderful beginner sewing project, especially if you are new to sewing zippers. It's easy and quick to make. And just think of all the color combinations you can choose! Woo-hoo! And I'm adding a free Zipper Pouch PDF Sewing Pattern. (Yep, totally free, for everybody.) Get it now!
You can't have enough zippered pouches. They are my favorite items to sew, and they make perfect holiday gifts. Follow this easy, step-by-step tutorial and sew one of these beauties yourself!
The little lined bag I sew last time is easy to make, so I thought you'd like to try one too: here's your chance to tailor one totally to your likes - grab your favorite fabrics and make one! You can choose the size, the color, anything! (But just in case you don't want to second-guess your dimension choices, I'm also giving you a free template to use: a fixed-size PDF pattern. Scroll further down to get it.)
- a zipper (no shorter than the length of the fabric pieces - CreateForLess has good ones, and they are not expensive!)
- 4 pieces of cute fabric (2 for lining and 2 for outer)
- optional: a small (1" wide, 2" long) piece of fabrics folded into a pull to add to the side of the pouch
- thread
- pins
- sewing machine
- the free zipper pouch pattern/template - see below
But then in time this tutorial got popular, and many of you have asked me for a real, PDF sewing pattern. Well, it was not fair to keep you waiting any longer - here it is, your free zipper pouch template. It should help you make these cuties even faster.
Yep, totally free - this is your zipper pouch PDF pattern. Download it for free from Craftsy HERE:
And if you are looking for some adorable new fabric, you can check out these cute fabrics by peek-a-boo. (They've also got gorgeous animal prints!)
2) Sew through all three layers. (Use the zipper foot if you like, I didn't.)
3) Press the fabric away from the zipper. Topstitch the fabric along the zipper to prevent getting it caught by zipper teeth. Some say this is optional, but I ALWAYS do that. It makes the pouch soo much prettier!
4) This is how the topstitched part looks like:
5) Repeat on the other side of the zipper: sandwich the zipper between the 2nd outer piece and the 2nd lining piece.
Carefully: the top the zipper should face the right side of the outer fabric. Double check to see if also the two outer pieces are facing right sides together. Do they? Good, go on!
Now sew the stack together, just like you did the first time (sewing through all 3 layers).
6) Topstitch along the zipper, just like you did the first time.
7) This is how it looks like now:
10) Insert a pull if you like. Note: The loop should be facing inwards!
12) Now, turn the pouch right sides out:
15) Voilà! Here it is, your brand new zipper pouch!
Save for later:

Of course at points during the day I had to reluctantly rip myself away from the flow of Lily to attend to other things:
1. Lunch meeting with someone who briefed me on a new project I may be working on
2. Make and answer VHouse-related calls
3. Do a little research for une femme française qui arrivera le 23 mars. Elle filmera un documentaire et je travaillerai avec elle.
4. Eat, drink and bathe
Sometimes one has to find the discipline to sit down and work on something. But in the case of Lily I think there may be times when I will have to find the discipline to 'dis-absorb' myself from it and do other things.

Shut down ryan international school gurugram, because this is not the first murder.
0 have signed. Let's get to 200!
I have started this petition not only for 7 year old innocent Pradhyuman Thakur who was brutally murdered in ryan international school Gurugram washroom ,and also not only for 6 year old Devansh Kacrora who was found unconscious and afloat in the ryan international school Vasant Kunj, water tank and was later declared dead but its also for all the parents and would be parents. The parents pain of loosing their child is indescribable, only the one who has gone through it can feel it.
The last time also in 2016 when devansh's was found dead in the school water tank the school management had no answer to any of the questions. The cctv camera showed the class teacher leaving the classroom unattended and laughing and chatting with the other teachers outside, in the meanwhile three students including devansh left the classroom , when the teacher was back the two students who had gone out wth devansh informed her that he had not returned but she didnt pay any heed.
The school management didnt even attend the child's funeral and the end to this was his poor parents running in and out of police stations and courtrooms. Till date justice is denied, and no action has been taken.
And now in 2017 a gruesome murder of seven year old pradhyuman. He was the only son, he was his sister's little brother. An innocent child who wrote a poem for his mother a few days back on mothers day, little did anyone know a family would ruin like this. Seeing her son with a slit on his neck ,drenched with blood all over ,calling this a nightmare for her would also be an understatement.
The question is WHY? WHY ITS RYAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL EVERYTIME. This can't be a co-incidence. Yes, people would think that future is unpredictable and if it happened with two children its not gonna happen with everybody but if we come together to sign this petition of shutting down Ryan International School and all its branches at least we can safeguard a few more innocent lives in future. Me being a parent this issue has startled me as my child will also be going to school next year onwards i am extreamly worried about his safety. If we together raise our voices to shut down Ryan International School and all its branches firstly and the most important it would give justice to the parents of devansh whose parents are fighting for the same for the past one year and also to pradhyuman and his family, this will not bring their children back but will definately give them hope that humanity still exists .This punishment would also proove exemplary to other schools where we are sending our children and will serve as a deterrent to the rest of the schools as well So that such transgressions will never be repeated
Thats why,i am starting this petition asking parents ,would be parents and everybody to please sign my petition and lets all of us together speak up and get justice for devansh and pradhyuman. Thankyou.

A female Ayurveda doctor from Thrissur in Kerala has lodged a complaint with Thripunithara police alleging that she has been harassed and tortured in an alleged religious counselling centre for marrying a Christian guy. The 28-year-old who did not wished to reveal her identity, has made serious allegations against Yoga and Charitable Trust in Kochi.
According to the complaint, she was misled to the centre by her own family. The Udhayamperur police have registered a case against 6 people including the woman's brother-in-law, Manoj Guruji, who runs the yoga centre and 4 others.
Last year the woman got married to a Christian man inspite of immense opposition from her family members. Under the guise of reconciliation, Manoj and his parents invited the victim to their sister's house at Avoli, Muvattupuzha on July 28 and from there they took her to the Yoga and Charitable Trust at Kandanad run by Manoj Guruji on July 31.
"Manoj had arranged the entire conspiracy, torture and he misled me to accompany my sister for yoga learning there. Then for 22 days, I was subjected to torture and cruelty by the accused. The 2nd accused introduced as an advocate of High Court, the 1st accused claimed as Guruji and the accused 3 to 5 were the counsellors. They illegally confined me there, confiscated my mobile phone and belongings, tied my hands, mouth, legs using cloth from behind and assaulted repeatedly.
They threatened me with the evil consequences of marrying a Christian and when I objected and tried to escape from illegal confinement they physically assaulted me and outraged my modesty by tearing my dress. There were classes regarding the evil spirits of Christianity and Islam and they used to promote enmity towards Islam and Christ", says the woman in her complaint.
Further, she adds that Guruji even showed photos of her husband claiming that he is being followed by his men. "Guruji threatened me that if I go with my husband they will kill him. They induced me to marry a Hindu which my father will arrange. There were such 65 girls illegally detained and tortured and many had complained about sexual abuses. I was forced to do the works of housemaid including cleaning and preparing dishes for 65 inmates. I spent my time there in tears but I was not allowed to contact anyone outside. The above 65 inmates were undergoing incarceration there and the 1st accused told that no court or police will touch them and that they are running this business for the last 15 years.
On August 21, I pretended as I agreed to their terms and my parents took me to my elder sister's house at Muvattupuzha from where I escaped and joined my husband", the women narrates he agony in the complaint.
Taking things further, Thrippunithara CI has handed forwarded the complaint to Udhayamperoor SI. The Udhayamperoor SI have registered a case against the Yoga and Charitable Trust which falls under their jurisdiction. The woman has filed a case against the alleged trust in Kerala High Court, which will be considered on Tuesday.

In early 2016, I agreed to ghostwrite a book for a retired fire lieutenant, which became a Writestream Publishing LLC release on May 31, 2016. Entitled, To Guard My Every Neighbor: Inside the Fire by Lieutenant Keith Schneider, part of the book's purpose was to call attention to the problem of PTSD in first responders. Working closely with Keith and gaining a full understanding of the life of a firefighter (along with police, paramedics and 911 call center employees) opened my eyes. Although I knew about PTSD in military veterans, I had no idea that those who serve their local communities in uniform also suffered from it.
Through my efforts to promote the book, I made a contact with a man named Don Prince, via the HOW Foundation of South Florida, with whom one of my best friends, Theresa Bonnie, had a close contact: Executive Director Sarah Crane. Sarah connected me with Don, whose information I passed along to Keith as a resource and possible partner in book promotion.
As much as I love what I do, which offers me the convenience of working from home, at times it feels as if I'm in a vacuum — social media, Skype and other methods of communication aside. I know I am on purpose and never doubt that I'm on the right path, but it's always nice to receive what we call in Tasha Chen's community, "evidence."
Yesterday, I received the best possible evidence when Don Prince contacted me "out of the blue" with this welcome message:
I wanted to share with you that because of your introduction to Keith he referred my name and number to a firefighter who was struggling and needed help up in his area. We were able to get him into a trauma retreat a few weeks ago and he had an amazing transformation and experience in those five days… You never know how you are able to someone just by a simple introduction.
I replied:
Don, thank you for letting me know! I believe seemingly small gestures can lead to amazing outcomes, and this is another wonderful example of that. I am so happy for the firefighter and grateful to you for your dedication in assisting him and others who need it!
To which he responded with an answer that made my day:
It is an amazing feeling… to be honest because of all this you probably saved his life in the big picture. I don't think he was going to hold on much longer.
We never know what a seemingly small action can lead to. In this case, I followed a lead with the intention to promote a book and raise awareness about a critical issue for first responders…and received the best possible feedback on my work.
The man in question who needed help is now creating magnificent photos like this one to help with his healing.
Here's a bit about Don Prince from his bio on the 11th Hour Retreat website:
Don is a person in long term recovery from many years of an alcohol addiction. He is an International Master of Addiction Coaching (IMAC) and a Nationally Certified Advanced Clinical Intervention Professional (NCACIP). He is the father of two amazing children, a husband and has an unparalleled passion for helping others to achieve their dreams and goals in order to excel in life and prosper.
He has been instrumental in opening a select few recovery related businesses and organizations, most recently co-founding the 11th Hour Retreat, in addition to co-founding a first responder specific addiction treatment facility that was exclusive to public safety professionals, opened a hair salon in Delray Beach, Florida which hired stylists in recovery and gave them a new start in a safe working environment and started a recovery coaching and intervention practice that has grown to reach those in need from coast to coast.
And the mission of The 11th Hour Trauma Retreat:
The 11th Hour Trauma Retreat is an intensive PTSD/Trauma resolution therapy program specifically designed to help first responders, veterans and their families who have been affected by trauma.
The 11th Hour program was developed to jumpstart the healing process so that those suffering from trauma can reclaim their lives, continue in their careers, and most importantly, reconnect with families and loved ones without feeling isolation or shame. Feel free to browse around the site and explore the therapy services that the 11th hour offers.
For more information, visit their website: www.11thHourRetreat.org. Contact them here.
Thank you, first to Keith, for his courage in sharing his own personal journey via his book, To Guard My Every Neighbor: Inside the Fire, and to Don, for all of his work on behalf of first responders, veterans and their families dealing with the effects of PTSD. I'm also grateful to Don for letting me know about this man's successful treatment. I don't know who he is, and most likely never will, but I'm grateful he is now on the path to recovery and that one simple gesture led to an "amazing transformation." It's the best evidence of all.

Education secretary's letter renews debate over corporal punishment
Robert Bird still remembers the paddle that was used to whack him after he skipped lunch detention at Liberty High School and mouthed off to a school official.
Its handle was wrapped with white boxing tape. It made for a better grip.
"It helped," Bird, now a 17-year-old senior, said of the punishment. "I haven't gotten the paddle or in any type of trouble since freshman year."
Texas is one of 15 states where corporal punishment, which generally involves school administrators striking students' bottoms with wooden paddles, is explicitly legal.
But if outgoing U.S. Education Secretary John King Jr. has his way, the practice would be a relic of the past. On Nov. 22, King wrote a letter to education leaders across the country and called on districts and states to abolish the practice.
It's unclear how much weight King's recommendation will have, as the Obama administration appointee steps down Jan. 20.
Officials in several school districts that allow corporal punishment say they will continue to use it judiciously as long as the state or their local school board authorizes it as a disciplinary tool. State Rep. Alma Allen, D-Houston, filed a bill to end corporal punishment in Texas, but such efforts have failed in the past.
On Nov. 22, King called on districts and states to abolish the practice.
The Texas Education Agency has no policy on the form of punishment that's permitted, and any changes to corporal punishment's legality would have to come from the state Legislature.
Illegal in 28 states
In his letter, King said research has found that corporal punishment often makes children more likely to engage in misbehavior; the majority of students who are physically punished are students of color or disabled; and students who are physically punished often grapple with substance abuse and mental health issues later in life.
"While some may argue that corporal punishment is a tradition in some school communities, society has evolved and past practice alone is no justification," King wrote. "No school can be considered safe or supportive if its students are fearful of being physically punished."
In addition to the 15 states that allow corporal punishment, another seven do not expressly ban the practice. It's illegal in 28 states.
While the use of corporal punishment has declined sharply, more than 109,000 students were physically punished during the 2013-14 school year, according to an analysis of federal civil rights data by the Education Week Research Center.
More than 300 of those students were in the Houston area.
Among the Houston-area school districts that used corporal punishment as recently as 2013 were Magnolia, Barbers Hill, Dayton, Liberty, Cleveland, Anahuac, Hempstead, Royal and Hitchcock ISDs. Some of those districts, including Dayton ISD, have since abandoned the practice. Magnolia ISD, which educates about 12,500 students, relies less on physical punishment. In 2013, 18 students in the district were subject to corporal punishment, but in 2015-16 only five were.
Barbers Hill ISD, which is located just east of Baytown, paddled 52 students in 2013.
"Barbers Hill ISD's policy has allowed corporal punishment since its inception as a district in 1929. Our community honors a parent's right to choose what disciplinary methods best work for their child, and any parent may opt out of corporal punishment," said Superintendent Greg Poole.
Ethical concerns
Shanna Hagen-Burke, department head for educational psychology at Texas A&M University, said corporal punishment works for a handful of children. It punishes misbehavior, and some students will not act out again as a result. But for most children, it makes their behavior worse.
"Not only are there ethical concerns, but it can create a lot of fear and intimidation," Hagan-Burke said. "In young children particularly, if a student is paddled, you're teaching them to be physically aggressive."
Hagan-Burke said that while research has shown corporal punishment to be ineffective and at times detrimental, other studies have shown more effective ways to change children's behavior. One such approach is to treat social behaviors like an academic skill, she said.
"If you're teaching a child a math problem - you ask 'What's 2 plus 2?' and they give you the wrong response - your reaction wouldn't be to punish the child, it'd be to reteach," Hagan-Burke said.
But those sort of behavior lessons and interventions can be more difficult to provide in smaller districts with fewer teachers, counselors or behavioral specialists, Hagan-Burke said.
Nowhere has corporal punishment been used more than in tiny Liberty ISD, about halfway between Houston and Beaumont on U.S. 90. Though only about 2,100 students attend schools there, 140 were physically punished in 2013. That's nearly half of all students who were physically disciplined in the Houston area that year.
'Rare intervention'
Superintendent Cody Abshier wrote in an email that corporal punishment is one of "a broad array" of tools the district uses to handle misbehavior. He said it's used only with permission of the parents and in the presence of a witness.
"While corporal punishment is a rare intervention for students in the LISD, it remains within the Trustee-approved techniques to address disciplinary incidents," Abshier wrote.
Haylee Ford, a senior at Liberty High, said about half of her male friends have been paddled. But each had been given a choice: a few days of in-school suspension or spanking via wooden paddle.
"Sometimes I don't think it works," she said of paddling. "But they got to choose, so that makes it fair."
Hagan-Burke said that regardless of whether it works on some students or parents approve, corporal punishment does more harm than good.
"I certainly had parents who would have supported use of corporal punishment, but as an educator my job is to rely on my judgment for what's best for the child," Hagan-Burke said. "I think perhaps it's a different world; we know more now than we did then. Fifty years ago, we were probably smoking in the classroom with kids, too."

PC Repairs in Kent -
What do they do?
Why do I care?
The Internet is actually based on numbers. Computers are very good with numbers, unfortunately people aren't. Welcome to the domain system, Domain names are an easy way for people to remember where the web site is (the computer converts the Domain
Name back into it's original number). Each Domain name ends with a particular "top
Level" two or three character domain.
IE .com, .co.uk, .biz etc etc.
Each domain name is unique within it's top level domain.
Therefore Kent PC's.com is unique and different from Kent PC's.co.uk
The domain is the address of your website or email on the Internet.
With email the domain is the bit after the @ sign.
So your website may be www.Kent PC's.com and you email may be joe.bloggs@Kent PC's.com
So even if the domain name wibble.co.uk has gone there may be another top level domain where it is still available wibble.biz or wibble.com, as you can see from the list above there are a fair number of top level domains.
When you add to that the ability to make minor changes to the domain name to create
a large number of similar names that are still unique. So if wibble has been used
we could have thewibble.co.uk or wibble-
Contact us to check domain name availability and possible alternatives.
If you have an existing domain name hosted with another company, not a problem we can transfer the domain to our server.

Newcomers to the frozen treat find the best there is…
by Blake Desaulniers
Long having been a frequent visitor to The Valley Isle, I've seen the array of kiosks, trucks, and store fronts offering shave ice. Not a part of my childhood, not once had shaved ice ever chilled my taste buds. I equated it with cotton candy, not a dietary staple, and not even a rare treat in adult years.
September 2015 turned out to be an exceptionally hot and humid month on Maui. In fact, the whole summer had been a real cooker, they said. At least three degrees hotter on average than any year since records were kept, post WWII.
You started to sweat the moment you walked up the jetway at Kahului. The usual pleasant rush of warm and fragrant air that you learn to anticipate after having been on the island a few times, had been shoved aside by four hurricanes out of the south Pacific that passed east of the islands and north, and cut off the usual trade winds that blow cloud away from Maui. The air, instead, hung almost unbreathable, heavy and thick, You started to sweat before you stepped into the arrival lounge and it didn't stop.
We'd been on island several days and had been out to the upcountry for a look around, and to shoot some new photos. Afterwards, we stopped in at Paia to find some food. Linda wanted a smoothie, and I thought that would be OK. But when we walked into the Paia PicNic company, we were too late in the day to get one.
We walked a few yards up the street, and past one of the multitude shave ice vendors you'll find on the island. A few more yards and we knew we'd be unable to get smoothies. What about a shaved ice, I asked.
Linda crinkled her nose—the same reaction I've had when briefly thoughts of shave ice crossed my mind.
Yet despite our gut reaction to the idea at first blush, we turned into the shave ice shop. It was the extraordinary heat that drove us to do it, I have no doubt.
As it turned out, shave ice is not a bad treat at all. A big enough hit of cold to lower your core temperature a bit. Shave ice, impregnated and saturated with colorful, intense, tropically flavored syrups. We liked it. It was good. How come we'd never tried it before?
That one experience set us on a bit of a mission. We would seek out the best shave ice in Hawaii.
The shave ice in Paia was pretty good. We were excited. I happened to mention this to a manicurist in Kihei. She pointed us to Ululani's at the north end of South Kihei Road. An excellent recommendation, as it turned out.
Ulanani's is rated the best shave ice on Maui and with good reason. The shave ice is cold, fine and drenched with the perfect amount of flavor. I'm not a coconut fan, having been subjected to the dried, candied junk sold in North America, mainly as a confection, and the stale coconuts offered in grocery stores and at produce stands.
But coconut on Maui is a different thing. Fresh drinking coconuts sold at roadside are full of mild, slightly sweet coconut water. The flesh of these coconuts is delicate and light, not at all like the products we get on the mainland.
So coconut flavoring in Maui has to meet a high standard.
The coconut syrup they use at Ululani's isn't like the coconut sold at other shave ice shops. It's creamy, as though they mix real coconut milk into the syrup, instead of just recreating the flavor. Ululani's is the only shop we found that uses this syrup and it makes a delightful difference.
Ululani's offers the same wide range of flavors you'll find at most shave ice stands. You can choose any three to go on your order, also typical of most shave ice outlets.
Ululani's has outdoor picnic tables with holes cut in the top so you can put your bowl of shave ice down securely. You won't have to chase it around the table and make a big sticky mess. That's nice.
We tried a number of other shave ice shops in Kihei and in Kona on the Big Island. None of them match the quality of Ululani's.
While still offering a cold, sweet treat these shops served ice that was variously not shaved fine enough, or was not cold enough, so that when the server poured on the syrup the ice turned slushy, and lost that wonderful fresh fallen packed powder snow appeal that you get at Ululani's.
Still, all in all, shave ice turns out to be just what the doctor ordered on a hot afternoon after an 80 km bike ride, or after cooking on the beach. We are now becoming habituated, and connoisseurs of the treat. And so far, we have yet to see better than Ululani's on South Kihei Road in Maui.

the big brother thread!
lolz. i havent seen any until tonight. that raver man is hilarious. oh dear. awful but hilarious.
It's a woman!

Post of the day there mate
so thats where sarky went!
didnt know she had a twin sister tho
Charly has gone fos sure
she's a cunt.
ho is bog bother?
there's not enough car-crash TV in Sweden
or at least I don't think so
Emily from Big Brother...
God bless Popjustice.
What a scary bunch of individuals. Laura to win!
"this sums up the hospitality area of V festival"
The diary room chair is pretty ace. I'd have to have left the house by now with all that squealing. Why do girls screech so?
Laura will win
willhill.com thinks so.
i want to shoot the twins.
the twins kind of make me glad to be asexual
When she sleeps, she looks like Lou Reed...
laura =
best accent in world. i could happily spend all day with someone that welsh.
i concur
i need a welsh friend.
my views so far...
that one whos related to someone famous is blatantly a transexual
and the tron-esque diary room chair is great
I liked it when the old woman
who used to be a don at cambridge based her intelligence on knowing who amy winehouse is.
Channel 4 are fucking evil
Did nobody think about the consequences of putting 11 women in the same house? Their periods will all synchronise and it will be all out BITCH WAR.
Honestly. What telys will do to get viewers these day.
How long until they find her myspace? It's going to turn up any minute now.
"Interests - The Kooks, The Fratellis, Babyshambles, Razorlight, blah blah blah"
The all-female Big Brother house will be given three men to choose from on Friday night.
The 11 women will get to eyeball the potential male housemates before they make their choice.
Putting the decision to a vote could spark tension between the women, who include a former lapdancer, twins, and a member of the Women's Institute.
A Channel 4 insider said: "The female housemates will have a difficult decision to make. They'll get to choose one man from a shortlist of three to move in with them into the Big Brother house."
The women could get to watch tapes of the three men on plasma screens before they decide who they want to join them.
HAHAhahaha. And let the bloodbath commence. I might have to watch this one!
they only ever give them a minute to decide these things
I say give them half an hour or so that they actually argue before having to choose.
most physically attractive male applicant it is then
Them twins
With their dizzy screeching and their paedo-chic lolly-pops. I can't wait for one/both of them to get a slap. Twats.
It xould be a good idea
if it were say rose_kitten and mirrilondon (as the older two), sophiacherryx , smilingcrazylady, sarkyfox, doubtful, peevee and wishpig (as the twins) marilyninthesky, soup100, squirrel, klaire, frf, slicky, lotf, kayleah etc
i mean it would be watchable then
huh! how so?
they are just people that i actually would be more interested in as people, rather than just channel 4s idea of eye candy
me thinks you are applying whatever is in your own mind
to my own motives.....thus an accusation.
i was just pointing out that the idea
of big brother could be improved by its execution
he doth accuse too much
....anyway the point should be.....would you not tune in to watch said dissers antics and japes?
its would be like payback time
with the rest of the country being bombarded with 'specialist' musical chatter and talk about art films and books they'd never heard of.
they're all probably too well adjusted to provide any conflict or riduiculous stupidity. I'll stick with the quasi-psychotics thanks very much
i would tune in to see said DiSsers get their baps out though. PHWOAR
hmm good point
perhaps things would liven up if we say released RnR Massacre into the house with them......or bamos
i personally would be dissappointed if they got their bangers out
i would expoct them all to have too much respect for themselves to do that, apart from sarkyfox of course
Giving birth in the house
is probably only one or two series away
would you exercise self respect or would you show off as smezzer wants?
I do hope the answer is that you would kep your dignity 9 am of course assuming that you wernt being sarcastic)
why do they all need to talk so fast?
and why are they so squealy?
I really couldn't stand to spend any time with a group like that. I'd either have to kill myself, or kill them.
I actually
turned over last night and enjoyed the sight of Caroline Spelman, Simon Schama, Greg Dyke, Sarah Teather and Roy Hattersley a great deal more than those frightful people.
It was like eating too much chocolate at once - it was good for the initial five minutes, but the next half hour made me sick
We know Emily.
she lives bout 15 minutes away from me.
Is she meant to go to Bristol Uni?
If so, she is lying about being a drama student.
I dunno.
she does drama with my sister at The Old Vic.
first of all - jamie, you cunt.
second of all - i've been watching live streaming all morning. and i watched last nights repeat of BB.
the twins are possibly two of the most retarded people i've ever seen in my life. one of them actually screamed 'OH EM GEE' at the bedroom.
then, they did one of the cheers from Bring It On.
they make me lol but wow they're thick.
ALSO charley wears the worst bikinis ever. who is she related to?
I watched the first episode
I usually get sucked in an start enoying Big Brother. This year, I won't be watching any of it. All women in a house? Worst idea ever.
This year, I am finally on the side of everyone else in the 'Big Brother can do one' camp. Fucking wack. Worst. Idea. EVER.
Big brother was a guilty pleasure of myn
but like it or not its usualy the male charecters which are alot more interesting, funny and so on...... with the lack of male charecters its just crap, they will synch and the will only be a string of 5 or so episodes per month watching.
it so isn't.
the best thing about watching BB is the bitching. it's hilarious. putting a massive group of girls in there first? just fucking wait. it's gonna kick off soon enough. girls are awful in general and they've picked some fucking choice ones. i can't wait. then, they'll throw a man in there. and he'll shit himself. THOUGH i hope to fuck he's gay, because, then they'll all go faghag and i will actually shit myself laughing.
It's just shit. Squealing shit. Annoying as fuck.
the squealing is annoying, yes.
squealy girls should be shot.
but, i guarantee it will get better.
no it depends...
as i said if it were the Disers above I am sure I would be hugely entertained
squealing or not......its even amusing to ponder who would squeal most
the posh indie girl
went to the same halls as me the year after me :O
Lesley has
apparently asked to leave in the diary room. I hope she goes I find her rather annoying...
Is there any point in me watching this tonight?
I saw the bloke going into the house, but it all seemed quite boring.
...or shall I just watch Trading Places, vintage Murphy.
