Re: Share how you got started ECing
I guess you could say we started ECing around 8 months. I could just tell my DD hated pooing in her diaper, so I started sitting her on the potty when I knew she needed to go. I never even considered doing it for pee, never heard about EC until I saw this forum about six weeks ago. So then I started offering her the potty throughout the day and cueing her, and she's gone almost every single time she's on the potty. Now she hasn't wet her diaper during the day for the past two days and I'm really excited, but kind of stunned, she's only 12.5 months. She really loves it and gets so excited when she goes on the potty, it's so cute and amazes all of our family because they can tell she likes it!

Re: Share how you got started ECing
We started around 2 months. I had read a little about EC & got a BBLP when I was pregnant. DD hates to be wet so we were doing like 30 diaper changes a day. I started putting her on the potty at each diaper change and every time she woke up. DD seemed to like it mostly (at least more than she liked a wet dipe ) and we were using way fewer diapers. Then she started waking me up at night to pee & there was not turning back.

Re: Share how you got started ECing and EC tips
We started at 2 weeks, although planned to do it from birth (unfortunately had to recover from difficult delivery ). I can't remember how I found out about it, but then read Diaper Free, told my husband about it and he also was up for it!
Currently doing it part-time - usually on timing, once DD wakes, at diaper changes, before and after going out. We had a really successful 2nd & 3rd month, catching loads of pees this way, some poos (DD didn't poo that often, every 4-5 days, so it was hard to know her signals!) but the last couple of weeks there's been lots of misses! It is still difficult to read here signals, especially the pees, but are getting better at the poos recently as she's becoming a bit more regular!
We cue only with psss for both pees and poos. We have a couple of potty bowls, sometimes we use the sink or toilet. At first she would be really fussy on the potty, but now she loves sitting there!

Re: Share how you got started ECing and EC tips
We started when my daughter was 5 months. I'd been reading about it and had tried when she was younger but she hated the potty....but when she was 5 months she sit on the potty on her own, she didn't pee every time she nursed anymore...it was just easier with her. We've slacked off quite a bit in recent months though and I'm trying to get her back into it. She's actually got a rash we've been having trouble getting rid of so it seems like the perfect time to get up the nerve to let her go diaper free and hope we get her on the potty quickly! lol

Re: Share how you got started ECing and EC tips
3 children back, I started later (about a year). Not very effective (wasn't trying too hard either).
2 children back, I did it a little more and from about 2 months she didn't wear a diaper at bedtime and stayed dry most nights shortly thereafter. I think it was easier for me to do with a girl because I figured gravity would pull the wet below her if she was going to have an accident.
With the current baby, 6 months, I started at about 2 weeks. He almost always goes first thing in the morning and right after each nap. I'm not brave enough to keep his diaper off at night because it is a "he" and he sleeps on his back or side and we co-sleep. I don't want to have to wash the mattress pad under him and all the sheets/blankets on top also. So, I guess I'm lazy.
I use the infant b'jorn for him and the next size up for the next one. For the baby, I sit it on the bathroom counter, say pssst and turn on the faucet. If he doesn't go right away, I carefully get the water to body temp. and sprinkle a little down there. I tell the kids I'm getting him washed off To get him off of there I reach for the leg that is the opposite side as my arm and get him off by tilting him toward my arm (otherwise he kicks and squirms and knocks the potty seat off). Also, if it's just potty, I just dump his in the sink and rinse it. BM I dump into the toilet. (Still exclusively BF)
Actually, I use his b'jorn to give him his bath also. Put it on the counter, take off his clothes and sit him on there. I can use the wash cloth and wash under his neck, back, tummy, front diaper area... Then I get him off and wash off his back diaper area. Then I wrap him in the towel and wash his hair. It works very well!

Re: Share how you got started ECing and EC tips
I'm pregnant now with my first child. I wasn't interested in EC at first, but my husband got excited and got me interested in it when my parents told him that they had EC'd me from birth. They said that they themselves were EC'd from birth and that it was "common knowledge" passed down from my grandmothers. They would make a certain whistle as a cue to pee and a "nn nnnn" sound to poo. I'm interested in some other methods of doing it, but I may get my mom to help me out with this child so I can learn from her.

What is a BBLP?

Registered Users
began @8 mo w/1st & @BIRTH w/2nd
I will try to keep this as BRIEF as possible but email me if you need help or have questions.
Began EC with 1st child (boy) at 8 months old. We were considered late-starters. Read "Infant Potty Training" by Laurie Bouke. Started out fantastic, used a BBLP. Had lots of strikes/pauses along the way. We started nighttime EC at apx 9 months old and that was awesome, too. Pees were always easier and he was 100% by 18months excluding accidents. Poops weren't really consistent until after 2 yrs old. I was a bit obsessive at first and that hampered the process. I've learned how to be a much more patient person. EC changed our lives forever (for the better) in ways I could have never imagined!
Began EC with 2nd child (girl) from birth. More amazing and natural than you can ever imagine and I HIGHLY recommend it! Held her over a pre-fold (with a lap pad underneath) while nursing because I was afraid to hold her over a potty bowl. But after a week I switched to a plastic mixing bowl with soft rounded edges (we keep several around the house) and that's what we still use (day & night). By 3 wks old she was holding her pee/poop and expected me to be there for her. She is now 2 months old and I will leave her diaperfree at times during the daytime. For peace of mind, I often keep her in FuzziBunz. However, I only use a single layer microterry "doubler" instead of the regular inserts as she only pees 1 or 2 diapers a day (and then she usually only pees a little and holds the rest in until I can get to her). She never poops in her pants/diaper (only skid marks occasionally or little spurts). I can also hold her over a sink or toilet. Now we don't need the potty bowl during nursing sessions either (only at night). Our cue sound is "pssss" then "pee/poop" depending on what comes out. Funny, but I'm starting to feel pretty stupid using a cue. She knows what she's doing and apparently I was the only one who really need any "training"!!!
Occassionally I will speed up the process by dribbling a little distilled water on her girl parts (especially at night when I'm TIRED). That (or maybe a little wipe with a cloth) will also help you know if they are done or if there's more coming out.
If you are starting EC, I don't recommend charting for more than 1 day, if that. Let your instincts take over and NO OBSESSING. R-E-L-A-X & enjoy the ride! Some type of cloth diaper is a MUST (or no diaper at all). Starting from birth is definitely the way to go if you can!
All the Best,

Re: Share how you got started ECing and EC tips
I'm sure someone has already responded??... but, just in case... BBLP is a Baby Bjorn Little Potty. You can find them at Babies R Us online, I think. Or ebay or maybe The EC Store (online). It is the smallest potty "chair" out there for sale. But still too big for small infants (then you can just use a mixing bowl or such).

Re: Share how you got started ECing and EC tips
We started at 2 weeks. A friend of our who used to live at a co-op with my husband and I gave me the Diaper Free book when I was pregnant and my husband read it and got really into it. He was the one really pushing for us to do it... I on the other hand was completely overwhelmed with being a new mommy!
After two weeks I decided to try it and it actually worked! I was so excited.
We would use the sitz bath tub next to the bed first thing in the morning, and then the sink the rest of the time. Now we use a little potty or a seat on the big potty.
We make a hissing sound for pee and grunting for poo. And signals have never been to helpful (aside from the obvious "i'm trying to poop face"), so we've used the timing/instinct combo... much to my surprise (I'm not sure why!) our instincts are pretty right on!
We have never been too hard core about it, mostly we just like to keep it casual and fun.
Lately (like the last 6 months!) our DD, who is almost 11 months, has been pretty cranky about sitting on the potty, like screaming every time we put her on, so we haven't been doing it too much. But we've discovered that she likes to read while on the pot (just like her Daddy ), and that has been saving us lately.
Just today I caught three pees! I haven't caught that many in months. Hooray for ECing!!!

A man and a woman were arrested Thursday afternoon following gunfire during a road rage incident on Interstate 70.
A man and a woman were arrested Thursday afternoon following gunfire during a road rage incident on Interstate 70.
Independence police spokesperson Tom Gentry said the two were arrested for taking shots at another vehicle while the two vehicles traveled on I-70. Gentry said multiple shots were fired and that at least one bullet struck the victim's car, hitting the tire.
No one was injured during the conflict, Gentry said.
"There were multiple shots fired by the one car at the other and at least one bullet struck the victim's vehicle, flattening the tire," Gentry said.
The incident began on I-70 near the Lee's Summit Road exit as the vehicles were traveling east. The vehicles traveled as far as Missouri 7 in Blue Springs before turning around and heading back west on I-70. Gentry said police thought multiple shots were fired while the vehicles were traveling both ways.
Police pursued the vehicles before stopping a gold, four-door Honda on Lee's Summit Road just north of I-70 near the intersection of East 41st Street, across from St. Michael's Episcopal Church. The male driver and his female passenger were taken into custody and are being held with charges pending.

Adelanto man killed on I-15
DEVORE � An Adelanto man was killed when his vehicle struck a utility trailer then drifted into the center divider on the northbound Interstate 15 just below Kenwood Avenue on Sunday, said officials.
At about 2 p.m., officials were called to the collision and found Joseph Damore, 90, with traumatic injuries, California Highway Patrol officials said.
Damore was traveling in his Kia Sorento at about 70 mph when for unknown reasons he allowed the car to drift to the right striking a utility trailer on the left rear side, officials said. Damore's vehicle continued to drift to the right until he crashed into the center divider, authorities said.
Damore was transported to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center and then transferred to another hospital where he was pronounced dead as a result of his injuries, said San Bernardino County Sheriff's Coroner's department officials.
The CHP is still investigating the incident.
Tagger held by citizen until police arrived
ADELANTO � After watching a man graffiti on a block wall, a citizen called police and held the tagger at the location until deputies arrived, said San Bernardino County Sheriff's Adelanto station officials.
At about 1:30 a.m. on Monday, a man noticed a suspect � later identified at Gabriel Magana, 26, of Adelanto � tagging on a wall near the area of Aster Road and Bartlett Avenue and called police, authorities said. The caller was able to keep Magana at the scene until deputies arrived and took the man into custody, according to reports.
It was learned that Magana was responsible for more tagging throughout the city totaling damages in excess of $400, officials said.
Magana was booked into Victor Valley Jail on vandalism charges. The investigation is still open.

Far from it.
In fact, this may be a 'what I don't do again' post OR a " YES it worked" post...future will tell.
According to my measure, the heels should be rasped back to that black line/marker.
I would put my knife with slight pressure and he yanked back.
Boom. Yes.
I stopped there, it was enough...
Below is from Cheryl of ABC Hoofcare -which is sort of the method I've applied above.
I say sort of, because I have not attended her school or classes..just self studied.
when continued long term.
But, you have to find why the horse is landing toe-first. The horse is
doing this intentionally because it is uncomfortable to walk "normally"
which is a heel first landing. This is the way the leg is structured to
do. To not load the heel is "unnatural" and requires the wrong tendon and
muscles for forward motion.
Reasons for toe-first-landings come from avoiding pain in the heel.
1. Disease in the sensitive frog and it is inflamed
2. Disease has weakened the structural strength of the "live frog"
which supports the compression of the digital cushion when the pastern
is coming down
(Not in our case, I truly don't think)
3. Bar has grown inward into the sole (bar pool which is in the
navicular or fulcrum region.
(yup!! we have bar issues)
4. Bar has grown out over the sole and has stopped the ability to
5. Arthritis developed in the coffin joint from years of improper
hoof movement
(Quite possibly good be another reason..although I've seen him move out better in snow/cold)
6. Damages to the tendons and other sensitive parts within
(Quite possible)
7. The capsule is not balanced and has a long toe
(I think YES on club....maybe...)
8. The capsule is not balanced lateral medially with tall

9. Idea's can be from many locations of the body that are not
(Poor Lazaroo has so many issues, so YES, but one thing at a time)
scratching off what we discovered is fine. But, then we might not be
seeing what we are looking at or recognizing some of the clues. It is
frustrating but we have to do this for them to rebound and be
comfortable in their own feet.
When bar is trimmed and not laying out or into the sole. And the sole
is free to grow without being inhibited from bar, fungus, disease.
Having the frogs integrity on the surface not hiding another story
beneath with fungus reducing the strength of the live frog. Finding
inflammation within the corium from damage, metabolic failures and
compression (abscessing, bruising, IR). Then you have to look at the
bones and I always suggest having every horse you own have x-rays so
you have a basis and then if things deviate you can see it is new or if
things don't improve you know problems existed when you got them.

Debt doesn't need to be a four-letter word. Used wisely, it can give us a better life -- a home, a car and education.
But South Florida's average credit card debt of $4,555 is among the nation's highest, according to a recent survey by Experian, a credit information firm.
Here are six steps to help reduce debt, courtesy of the nonprofit Financial Planning Association:
Get a clear picture of what you owe and the interest rate each creditor is charging. Then plan, prioritize and be patient. Experts recommend paying off the largest or highest-interest-rate debts first. But you might feel better with paying off a smaller debt first.
Control your spending for what you really want. To monitor your spending, go to the free website DoughHound.com that was started by a Davie couple, Jillian and Daniel Tobias who managed to save $80,000 to travel the world.
Set a debt-reduction goal and reward yourself for reaching it. Then set a new, higher goal -- with a bigger reward.
Don't tempt yourself. Rather than leaving excess funds in your checking account, use it to pay down debt. Give yourself a weekly or monthly allowance to function as a spending ceiling.
Look for support from family and friends who share your debt reduction goals. Distance yourself from big spenders or people who spend money to feel good.
Watch out for profiteering debt settlement organizations that promise a lot, deliver less and charge plenty along the way. Be aware of debt consolidation loans that won't necessarily change the spending behavior that got you in trouble.

Chelsea are the latest club to consider a move for Toni Kroos should his contract wrangle with Bayern Munich rubble on.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho is on the look-out for a new creative spark in his midfield, having seemingly lost faith in Oscar, and wouldn't flinch at shelling out the £150,000-a-week Kroos is currently demanding from Bayern.
The German midfielder's current deal expires in 12 month's time, and with no new agreement on the horizon, a host of top European clubs have been alerted to his potential availability.
Kroos has already ruled out a move to Manchester United, insisting he will remain at Bayern next season, however that decision could soon be taken out of his hands.
With the Bundesliga champions seemingly unwilling to elevate Kroos into the top bracket of earners such as Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Phillip Lahm, the 24-year-old will be allowed to discuss terms with other clubs as early as January 2015 if no new deal is agreed.
Bayern are unlikely to allow Kroos to move for free in a year's time, and may take the decision to cash-in on the playmaker for as much as £25million this summer.

Aluminum Alloy 4Pcs Metal Wheel Tire Valve Stem Cap Auto Parts Air Cover Spare
The valve of the tire valve is used as an inflatable port and valve for air discharge, and the air is not leaking.It is also a device for checking the tyre pressure.Valve mouth can be divided into two types: one is metal, the main body is brass;A rubber mat for the main body of rubber.The main body of the valve is equipped with a valve that works like a one-way valve, and the compressed air can be used to fill the inner tube without air leakage.The valve cap can also be used as a wrench to wring in and out of the valve core.The metal valve has a bridge pad and compression nut on the mouth to improve the bond with the inner tube.The shape of valve mouth is curved and straight pipe, and the valve nozzle is only used on flat rim.When the rear wheel is a double tire, the tube valve can be used to inflate the tire.
complete life if you ignore the existence of the valve is apparently not so wise, little it's about our car can be normal, safe on the road, different material of valve mouth also have their own different characteristics.While we hope that through this article, can let you have new understanding of valve and more comprehensive understanding of in-use vehicle life more attention to the use of valve conditions, to ensure that our own transport safety.

I am honored to introduce Sean Conrad as my guest blogger this week. Sean is with Halogen Software a firm that I have personal experience with. Thanks Sean!
Today's business climate is forcing a shift in the role HR plays. Instead of providing administrative support, HR is becoming a strategic manager of the organization's greatest asset – its people. Driven by this shift, the industry is seeing more companies implement integrated talent management processes.
So why has talent management become a strategic imperative for companies?
1. The C-Level is Demanding Succession Plans and Workforce Analytics
Succession planning isn't just about identifying successors for a handful of leaders. It's about identifying the key competencies and skills an organization needs to succeed, both today and tomorrow. It's about identifying the company's high-potential, high-performing employees across all key functions, and grooming them for advancement. Every company needs to know who their top performers are and work to develop talent pools. These talent pools are your lifeblood, whether you're growing, looking for a successor for a key role, or downsizing.
Executives also need analytic data on everything from retention to skill gaps to goal alignment/progress, and talent plans that align with strategic plans. This data allows them to make informed decisions on when/where/how to invest in talent to ensure the organization is able to meet its strategic goals.
2. Companies Need to Secure Top Talent
While the current recession is giving us a temporary reprieve, experts still agree there is a global talent shortage looming, and some fields continue to experience talent shortfalls. The ability to retain and attract top talent will become critical as economic recovery sets in. Companies need to have integrated talent management processes in place to ensure they can attract, identify, develop, reward and retain top performers, and address any skill shortages before they become critical.
3. Need to Keep the Changing Workforce Engaged
Whether it's because of generational differences or employment lifecycle differences, employees from different generational groups need different things from their managers and organizations to keep them engaged and performing. These different requirements make it imperative for organizations to efficiently and effectively align goals, give employees timely performance feedback, provide performance-based development opportunities, and appropriately reward performance.
4. HR Needs Data to Support Their Strategic Role
As HR plays a more strategic role in organizations, HR professionals need integrated talent management processes that deliver data to inform their strategic talent management plans and support organizational goals. The key is to be able to aggregate and analyze the data to provide relevant metrics that assist in organizational management. You can't get that from a manual, paper-based process.
5. HR Needs Freedom From Administrative Burden
Effective HR departments focus on strategy. To do this, they need to reduce the time they spend on tactical or administrative tasks as much as possible. While automating talent management processes and forms saves HR significant and invaluable time both in administering the process, it's not a panacea. Regardless of whether or not the processes are automated, good business decisions should come from the analysis of the data.
6. Clear and Significant ROI
More and more research, by companies like the Hackett Group, the Aberdeen Group, IBM, HCI and IDC, is showing the strong link between mature, integrated talent management processes and financial results. Truly successful organizations realize that the only true sustainable competitive advantage they have is their people, and they use strategic talent management to maintain this advantage.

Please Note: This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Excel versions: 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, and Excel in Office 365. If you are using an earlier version (Excel 2003 or earlier), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for earlier versions of Excel, click here: Can't Copy Data between Workbooks.
by Allen Wyatt
(last updated January 8, 2019)
Neil has Excel installed on several PCs in his office. On most of these he can copy data from one workbook to another workbook with no problems. On one of the PCs, although he can copy data from one worksheet to another worksheet in the same workbook, Neil cannot copy data to a different workbook.
More than likely this has to do with how the two workbooks are opened on the problem machine. If you open the workbooks in two different instances of Excel, then copying and pasting between instances is not the same as when the workbooks are opened in the same instance. If you open the two workbooks in different instances of Excel, then when you go to paste information into the target workbook, you get the results of whatever formulas you are copying instead of the original formulas. (This is just one example; there are other pasting differences as well.)
The solution is to make sure that the workbooks are opened in the same instance of Excel. The easiest way to do this is to make sure that once the first workbook is open, you open the second workbook by using the Open dialog box within Excel. If you, instead, use the Windows Start menu or a Desktop icon to open the second workbook, you are opening a second instance of the program.
If this doesn't solve the problem for you, then you should make sure that there is no macro running in the target workbook or worksheet when it is activated. Look for code in the ThisWorkbook module and any other worksheet module in the target workbook's VBA project. If you do find a macro there, then it could be that the macro is altering what is in the Clipboard or clearing it out entirely. You'll need to do some detective work to figure out if this is the case.

I want to bring a date from worksheet 1 to worksheet 2 and place it in a particular cell B5. I am able to move the date to other cells on worksheet 2 but not to the cell where I want it to go B5. When I use the function "=Worksheet1Li" to move the cell contents of L1 to cell B5 of worksheet 2, what appears in B5 is "Worksheet!L1" and not the contents of L1.

didn't see below - THANKS to Wei Wang for finding this problem... I read this before but didn't know to what he was referring. I really like my Excel 2000... it doesn't reset my Sort Criteria, and can be set to remember the last 9 files I opened even when I do a disk cleanup.

I'm no expert - and this problem drove me nuts. Not sure if for others, but there was a macro that I don't think I put in.
Had to get to VBA editor/projects? then saw this under macros for "This Workbook"
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = True
End Sub
When I deleted this all copying from one workbook to another worked fine.
I found it by disabling all macros after I reinstalled Excel 2000 (I'm sure this can be done in Excel 2007 but I never saw how - the option pops up when I open a file in 2003 [now I have to figure out how to stop this warning]). Then I could copy. After clearing this is works fine with Excel 2007. I'm going to keep Excel 2000... I think MS does too much 'user friendly' junk with 2007 that I have to waste time figuring out how to disable - also glad to have my old shortcuts back (like Ctrl-V for print preview, and Ctrl-C to close a file).. icons at top are nice but my hands are already at the keyboard so I don't have to move the mouse.

I encounter this error, "destination folder contains all kinds of 'names'"
2015-03-26 17:17:31
Wei Wang
I had this problem. The cause is as follows. Each of the following assignments clears the clipboard when the workbook is activated.
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With Application
.DisplayFormulaBar = True .DisplayStatusBar = True
End With
End Sub

I have a user with Excel 2013 installed on her workstation. However when she opens files that were built in Excel 2003 and tries to copy and paste the data into 2013 a conflict happens on the workstation and the system locks up. Is there a way stop this?
2014-09-08 10:18:57
John H
On a daily basis, I open two different workbooks; I need data on two screens. I have been using MS Excel 2010 Ver 14.0.7128.5000 for years and until last week I never had this problem, did an update get pushed out?
Why would MS not allow this operation to occur?
I found a work-around on line "paste into the second workbook via paste data as a link and then copy again and paste in the proper location".
Again Why?
2014-02-16 18:24:59
Craig DeGeer
I have added a macro in the ThisWorkbook module that is affecting the ability to copy data from the sheet with the code to another worksheet in the workbook or from another sheet to that sheet with the code. So, I know that the code is the issue, I just don't know if there is any way to avoid this problem.

Mr Paul Anthony Malycha
Your "Please Note:" at the top of the article includes Excel 2013 version.
I have Excel 2013 and can not open more than ONE workbook in each instance of Excel.
I understand this has been built into Excel 2013 by Microsoft. I am not sure it was a very smart thing to do as Workspaces can no longer be created which was a useful operation, for me anyway!
I would like to be corrected if anyone knows how to set-up Workspaces with multiple Workbooks in Excel 2013?
2013-10-05 21:34:06
Another place to check is the form of workbook. I often update older workbooks saved as .xls and all my boilerplate formulas,, etc. are in an .xslm workbook. Excel won't permit that - and gives an error message about the number of columns and rows not being equal. Save the target workbook as .xslm, close it, reopen it, and start copying.

You probably spend the bulk of your days brainstorming ways to increase your revenue and expand your business. But sometimes, you don't give much thought to minimizing spending and its implications to your bottom line.
Along with expansion comes waste or unnecessary costs, particularly software licenses and various SaaS services and products, if you're not careful. While pinpointing the source of SaaS-related unnecessary costs can be difficult, below are some tips to help you monitor your SaaS costs.
Ask the Most Important Questions
Do you really need this SaaS product? If you stopped using it, how would it affect your operations? If the user can't convince you or the team about the product's value, might as well spend your resources on something else.
Encourage Innovation to a Certain Extent
Start by making it clear that you're on board with using secure SaaS products to improve your business operations. Make sure that your team knows how to buy SaaS products, perhaps by creating guidelines regarding the most basic terms and factors to consider.
Monitor Key Things
These include point persons (in your team or vendor), costs drivers (contacts, data, licenses/users, etc.), frequency of payments, and payment methods (credit card statements, invoices), as well as terms of agreements and renewal dates.
Make a List
While it might take some time and digging, especially if you have a big organization, it will benefit everyone. Your team will appreciate the effort, especially when it is time to locate important details about your SaaS products and vendors.
Set Up Reminders
Once you have managed to organize everything, you can set up reminders or notifications in advance to help your team in managing SaaS vendors, renewals, and costs. Once a team member receives a reminder about a SaaS product he's using, he must review his usage, evaluate the effects of using vs. not using the product, and depending on his evaluation, renew the contract. This way, you'll feel more secure knowing that your SaaS costs are always justified.
Managing SaaS vendors and monitoring related costs should be a team effort, one that requires transparency, constant collaboration, and tools to make sure you're using your resources well. Remember these tips to safeguard your bottom line from unnecessary costs and unexpected renewals.

Adults need seven to nine hours of sleep according to the National Sleep Foundation. Getting to bed at the same time each night and waking up naturally without an alarm clock can help you feel more alert during the day. You won't feel fatigued, suffer from forgetfulness or look tired.
Some important things to remember to establish an easy sleep routine are:
1. Don't exercise late at night. Working out only increases your heart rate and causes you to overheat.
2. Keep your room temperature at 65 degrees or less, otherwise your body may become too warm causing you to wake up during the night.
3. Eating prior to retiring may cause indigestion or heartburn. It is recommended to eat 2 -3 hours prior to going to bed. If you want a snack, eat foods that relax you. Foods full of tryptophan cause drowsiness.
Also you can try natural sleep supplements such as; hops, passion flower extract, valerian or cat nip alone or combined for more potency. Melatonin is also available in capsule form and available at most pharmacies or health food stores.
If you want to have some tea or warm milk before bedtime, limit the amount to prevent waking during the night to go to the bathroom. Make your bed as comfortable as possible. You may consider a memory foam mattress topper to establish equal body pressure, especially if you sleep on your side.
The most important thing that you can do to establish a routine is allow yourself time to unwind from your daily stress and activities. Read a book, listen to some mellow music or write in a sleep journal. Keeping a sleep journal will determine what has helped you establish your easy sleep routine. If you feel you may have insomnia or another sleep disorder you should talk to your doctor. He may recommend alternative medication or he may refer you to a sleep specialist for further treatment.

Today i saw Aconcagua. It's the highest mountain on earth outside of the Himalayas – almost 7000m – and I've wanted to climb it for some time. The flight from Buenos Aires to Santiago this morning crossed the Andes not far Aconcagua. The Himalayas are snowed over and can't be climbed during the few months of the year that the Andes can be summited. So anyone standing on top of Aconcagua can claim to be the highest person on earth at that time. That's cool!
The flight is a short 2 hour hop from the east to the west coast of South America. Most of the flight is over Argentina, which is flat and uninspiring between Buenos Aires and the Andes. During the last half hour of the flight the Andes rise up from the flatness, top out on snow-capped peaks right underneath the wings and then drop spectacularly back to the thin strip of habitable land on the other side – Chile.
As one goes south from Santiago the thin strip of land gets narrower as the Pacific and the Andes get closer to each other. Puerto Montt seems to be the last space for a town before the mountains start to plunge into the sea.

Transferability & forecasting of the Pedestrian Index Environment (PIE) for modeling applications
Kelly Clifton, Portland State University
There have been important advances in non-motorized planning tools in recent years, including the development of the MoPeD pedestrian demand model (Clifton et al., 2013, 2015). This tool and others are increasingly requested by governments and agencies seeking to increase walking activity and create more walkable places. To date, the MoPeD tool has been piloted with success in the Portland region using data unique to Metro, the metropolitan planning organization. However, there is increasing interest from planning agencies within and outside of Portland and Oregon (e.g.: City of Tigard, OR; Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities, MN; San Francisco Public Health Department, CA) about adapting the pedestrian modeling tools for use in their own jurisdictions. Local governments desire to apply these tools for a variety of planning and forecasting purposes, not only for regional demand modeling. Unfortunately, other regions often do not have uniform access to the same kinds of pedestrian environment data as Metro, particularly at such a fine-grained scale. Important challenges remain in model development that must be overcome if these tools are to achieve widespread application. Among the most critical needs are the standardization and forecasting of model inputs, particularly measures of the built environment. In this next phase of our pedestrian modeling work (see Clifton et al., 2013, 2015), we propose focusing on making our measures, models, and methods more transferable to other locations. Specifically, we will re-evaluate, compare and test our pedestrian index of the environment (PIE) measure using data resources more commonly available to planning agencies across the country. Next, we will re-estimate our pedestrian trip generation and destination choice models using this new PIE variable. The updated MoPeD will then be ready for further validation in Portland and testing in other regions (Twin Cities) and contexts (suburban Tigard). This process will also consider how PIE may be forecast to reflect future planning scenarios. These tasks will balance data availability, scale, computational capacity, and behavioral realism. This proposed project continues our team's efforts to advance pedestrian demand modeling tools available for planning analysis and forecasting. In the past 5 years, we have completed 2 projects funded by NITC/OTREC (in partnership with Metro) to improve the representation of pedestrians in travel demand models. As a result of these projects, we have created a framework model of pedestrian demand (MoPeD) that integrates into trip-based regional models (Clifton et al., in press), estimated models for pedestrian trip generation (Clifton et al., 2013) and destination choice (Clifton et al., 2015), and developed a pedestrian index of the environment (PIE) measure (Singleton et al., 2014). This proposed work program represents the next logical step in the MoPeD's enhancement and is critical to enabling its utility beyond the Portland region. The project team remains the same, continuing an 11-year collaboration on pedestrian modeling between Dr. Kelly Clifton (PI) and Dr. Robert Schneider.

TV Shows - Arthur
Arthur is a long-running educational television series for children, that airs on PBS. Arthur revolves around the lives of Arthur Timothy Read, an anthropomorphic aardvark, his friends and family, and their daily interactions with each other. The series often deals with social and health-related issues that affect young children. There is a strong emphasis on the educational value of books and libraries as well as relationships with friends and family members. The television series is based on the Arthur book series, that are illustrated and written by Marc Brown.

Arthur Comments (You must Login to Comment)
|Arthur COULD HAVE worked if it followed the formula of the first two seasons, especially season two, when Arthur established itself and was its best season. All these special episodes and treating it like the majority of crap on TV (i.e. drama shows) sharply downgrades the quality. It is supposed targeted to children with child-friendly and relevant issues toward growing up. Arthur boned the fish pretty quickly, with the decline starting in season 3 (fewer episodes per season). It accelerated gradually as Arthur went through the 2000s, but there were a handful good episodes and moments in the series. The plug should have been pulled before 2002. Arthur became so old and burned out. As for Kate talking and Pal too, my issue is the fact that Pal speaks with an annoying British accent. Fact- Arthur is actually produced in CANADA (Maple Leaf country). I don't remember Kate ever speaking her first word. I gave up on Arthur in 2002, just as it was going from good/okay to awful. The Christmas special (which I saw only once) and all the other special episodes (aside from what I said earlier) just don't fit in well with the series. It became too serious, politically correct, and preachy. I know children shouldn't be subject to that. The fun factor really went downhill as more of these episodes were produced. I cannot believe Arthur is still produced in the current day. -- Submitted By: (ProfessorBone) on December 27, 2013, 6:04 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|I just read a line in Wiki: "The series is often noted for dealing with social and health-related issues that affect young children, such as the death of a pet, dyslexia, and more recently cancer,[5] Asperger syndrome[they cited an episode titled "George and the Missing Puzzle Piece"] and Alzheimer's disease[cited an episode called "Grandpa Dave's Memory Album"]." If they seriously gave George Asperger's and Grandpa Dave Alzheimer's I will cry. I will also be surprised if no parents have complained yet. -- Submitted By: (Liva148) on August 1, 2012, 4:40 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|I saw the episode when Arthur hit DW. Secretly, my first thought was "'Bout damn time." That DW is a bratty little pain in the rump. I was the elder sibling of two (and actually nearly the same age range). Frankly, I would imagine that if Arthur and DW were for real, those two would be in 'knock-down, drag-outs' all the time. Also, having been an older brother, as I watched the episode- like other posters- I was a bit miffed that Arthur was treated like a felon when in reality DW kinda brought the whole situation on herself by breaking Arthur's plane and not getting her comeuppance from the parents for disrespecting someone else's property. In the end, was Arthur wrong to hit DW? His anger was justified, but perhaps the 'violent' response was unnecessary. In my analysis as both a parent and a sibling, BOTH children should have been punished for their respective roles in the altercation. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on January 5, 2012, 12:56 am - (1 votes) - Login to Vote
|Thank you! I was hoping I wasn't the only one who approved of Arthur hitting DW. But they undo any sense of justice being served by having Binky hit Arthur later on! And everyone coming down with diverse diseases? It's a parade of "Very Special" episodes. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on January 6, 2011, 12:56 pm - (2 votes) - Login to Vote
|I agree with you Mr.Zimpy, the best Arthur episodes was the earlier seasons mostly s1 and s2. The rest of Arthur I think is about Franice is jewish, Prunella's blind friend, etc. I also agree Arthur hitting D.W. was the only best part of that episode because DW deserve it. -- Submitted By: () on January 3, 2011, 4:28 pm - (2 votes) - Login to Vote
|Arthur used to be one of the best shows I ever saw on television, then it became a serious show, with everybody wither having a disease, such as Binky being allergic to peanuts, and Mrs. Mcgrady being diagnoses with cancer, George being dyslexic, Jenna wetting the bed, DW going deaf. Then it had stupid aesops, like the bleep episode, DW told her mother to fuck off, and she didn't get in any form of trouble. I tell you, if I told my mother to fuck off I would have been brutally beaten to a bloody pulp. It taught me that its okay to curse to your parents. The episode where Arthur hits DW is one of my favorite because that evil bitch finally got what was coming to her bratty ass. I stopped watching this show since then, but it does not have any of the good quality of the old episodes. -- Submitted By: (Mr.Zimpy) on January 3, 2011, 5:58 am - (2 votes) - Login to Vote
|One more I like to add, I hate it when celebate their brithdays in one episode just to be ignore it the next. Example: DW said to be 4 years old in previous episodes, in one episode celebates her 5th brithday, then the next episode and all future episodes turn her back 4 again. At least do like the Simpson did and celebate her 4th brithday again if you going to keep it the same. Or like King of the Hill and keep her age 5. I understand cartoons don't age but acting like they age one year in one episode just not to exist again really the other boning point. -- Submitted By: (SSM) on December 31, 2010, 8:43 am - (1 votes) - Login to Vote
|It boned when that infamous episode "Arthur's Big Hit" aired. D.W. is real pain in the ass and keep on bothering Arthur and messing him up even after he said not to touch his plane and to leave him alone. She still touch it anyways and thrown it out the window, breaking the plane. Although Arthur was wrong for hitting D.W. out of anger (she deserved it though), and punishing him (by 1 week without him) rightfully, nothing happens to DW except, "we deal what she did" , translation nothing happens to her. After that, everyone acts like Arthur is a monster, he tries to explain his side of the story but they don't want to listen, keep saying "she just a littie girl" crap. Even Buster don't want to hear Arthur even though he witness DW bothering Arthur. When Binky hits Arthur for no reason, his mom instead of making him feel better, she mocks him saying, "Now you know how she feels blah blah blah". It's not the same thing, Binky hits Arthur randomly (due to peer pressure from his friends), while Arthur was provoked, two completely different situation. Arthur parents never even teach DW about respecting other people boudaries (that why Arthur hitting DW happens), and every one of Arthur act like DW is innocent even though they know DW is a real pest. After that, the show went downhill for me. -- Submitted By: (SSM) on December 31, 2010, 8:28 am - (3 votes) - Login to Vote
|How I loved this show as a kid! Not long ago I tried watching a recent episode and the voices for some of the characters (like Arthur himself) had been changed. And it just seemed all different...not funny like the older episodes. -- Submitted By: (dontstopmenow) on June 3, 2010, 9:39 pm - (1 votes) - Login to Vote
|"Arthur" has now been around for well over a decade. Boy is this series a mixed bag. When it's at its best its easily my favorite of any show of this type, but when it's bad it can be really bad. For me, it's come close to boning so many times, but it's never quite seemed to get there. And some of the most recent material, such as the episode about Mrs. MacGrady having cancer, has actually been really good. -- Submitted By: (Agent0042) on November 5, 2009, 4:54 pm - (1 votes) - Login to Vote

This is another scenario I wrote for my fantasy lit course, but I don't want to give away too much about the context or prompt. Read and discover for yourself.
Emilia was still upset by the time Daniel got home from wherever it was he had stormed off to after their fight. She wasn't sure how he'd decided to deal with his anger—getting plastered at the bar, perhaps? Or maybe just some good ole reckless driving to blow off steam and clear his mind? Whatever it was, she was sure it had been foolish and dangerous. That was just how Daniel behaved under emotional distress.
As for Emilia, nothing she'd done had been able to abate her own ire and distress. Her favorite indie album, which could usually calm her and put her in a more pleasant mood no matter the situation, had failed her. Her yogic meditation, a go-to stress reliever and relaxation technique, had also failed her. She had finally surrendered and gone down to the wine cellar.
It had been months since Emilia had drunk even a drop of alcohol, so resorting to the stuff was no trifle. It wasn't that she'd ever had a drinking problem—no, quite the opposite—she had previously indulged only rarely but had nevertheless made the decision to abstain completely in order to live more health-consciously. But she knew that tonight a glass of wine was just what she needed.
She poured herself a generous amount and took a seat in the living room, careful not to spill any of the deep red liquid on their pristine white sofa. When she had swallowed the last drops, she thought, why not have another? It wasn't as if Daniel would be stopping after just one whiskey.
She could feel the tingling effect of the alcohol spreading throughout her body already and had an idea—an idea which led to her swapping her yoga clothes for a swimsuit (one that reminded her of the trip she and Daniel had taken last spring to Hawaii and thus only succeeded in flaring up her anger again), grabbing her wine glass with one hand and the bottle with the other, and settling into the delicious hot bubbles of their outdoor jacuzzi.
As she waited for Daniel to come home, Emilia felt simultaneously more irritated and more detached from the situation. She supposed there were some things even booze couldn't touch, though it was helping a bit. If anything, she'd gained an understanding and appreciation of Daniel's methods. The longer he was gone, the longer she waited in the hot tub, and soon the wine bottle was emptied of its contents.
Growing bored, she returned to the house. In her altered state of mind, she had come up with the brilliant idea of giving Daniel the silent treatment. He would certainly be surprised to find her intoxicated, and when he tried to question her about it, she would refuse to give him answers—a taste of his own medicine. If he could leave a fight unfinished and go drink away his troubles (when he knew she couldn't stand this sort of coping), she would do the same to him in return.
She still had half a glass of the pinot noir left, and she arranged herself and it in the living room, where Daniel would see her upon entering. The sight of Emilia sprawled across the white sofa in that scarlet bikini, the towel beneath her not doing much in the way of keeping the cushions dry and her fingers wrapped around the stem of her wine glass, was sure to send him into a shock. She laughed at the thought of it. He would think she'd gone mad.
Her laughter continued to bubble up and spill out of her until she heard a car door slam outside, when she forced herself into stoic silence. This alert of Daniel's arrival brought back the sick feeling of anger in her stomach—anger he had caused. Well, no matter; she would show him, and he'd be sorry about their fight, about leaving.
Presently, the door opened, and Daniel stepped through it. He didn't seem drunk. She wanted to inspect his appearance for anything that betrayed where he'd just been, but she refrained—she wasn't going to look at him in any way that was obvious.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him remove his shoes and coat and toss his keys on the entry table. When he stepped closer, he sighed faintly but gave no indication that he noticed or cared about the state of her. He continued on into the hall. Emilia was furious.
She stood and walked after him, making sure to bring her glass of wine along.
"What, you don't have anything to say?"
Her sneering question was met with silence. Daniel reached the end of the hall and started up the stairs without pause.
"Really, Danny?" she asked derisively, following him upstairs. "You're ignoring me? How mature."
She didn't mention, of course, that she had planned to ignore him, and she was keenly aware of how immature she appeared at the moment.
Daniel entered their bedroom and began to undress. Emilia stood in the doorway.
"So you're just going to go to bed and refuse to acknowledge me."
He continued to swap his day clothes for pajamas without so much as looking at her. She couldn't believe his nerve. She stepped into the room and closer to him.
"God, you're a coward, Danny. You know that?"
At this, he threw his dirty clothes towards the hamper in frustration. Finally she'd gotten a reaction out of him.
But instead of blowing up on her like she expected he'd do, Daniel stood abruptly and left the room. She scurried after him back downstairs and through the house to the kitchen, where he poured himself a glass of water. He stopped short when he saw the corkscrew on the counter. She waited for his response. He picked it up and twisted it in his fingers, brows furrowed—in anger or contemplation, Emilia couldn't be sure—then put it away in a drawer.
He leaned against the island counter on his elbows, head in his hands, and she stood across from him. A long silence elapsed.
"Say something, Danny."
He raised his head, the look on his face morphing into one of resolve. Once again, he left the room with her trailing behind him.
She was so furious that it didn't register where he was headed.
"I can't believe you. You don't even care, do you?"
Daniel stopped in front of the door to her personal yoga studio, his back to her and his posture tense. He paused.
"Em," he said finally. His voice sounded strange, and she couldn't make out his tone. She waited for him to continue. Instead, he pushed open the door.
He stepped in and audibly let out a breath he'd apparently been holding.
Emilia glanced at the state of disarray she'd left her normally immaculate yoga studio in. In her earlier frustration, she hadn't bothered to tidy up after herself and had even kicked aside her blanket and blocks—which were now strewn across the room.
"Yeah, shit. Even yoga couldn't repair the state you left me in."
He ran a hand through his hair and took off again, moving at a brisk pace.
"Would you stop walking away from me?" Emilia rushed down the hall after Daniel, who was headed towards the back of the house. He didn't stop or turn. "Okay, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that. It wasn't all your fault. We both—"
"Em?" Daniel asked, a bit too loudly, still striding away from her.
"Danny?" Emilia's voice was quiet.
Daniel yanked open the sliding glass door.
"Em?" He was shouting now. He stepped out onto the back patio.
"Danny, what—I'm right here. Why are you–?"
She stopped midsentence, unable to comprehend was she was seeing.
Daniel was rushing over to the jacuzzi, frantic. She was sure he was still yelling, but she could no longer make out what he was saying. And there was a girl in the hot tub. Why was there a girl in their hot tub?
Emilia felt suddenly very hot and dizzy.
The girl—whoever she was—lay face down in the water, Emilia noticed as she drew near. That wasn't right, was it? And Daniel was screaming and crying and getting into the jacuzzi and pulling the girl up by the armpits and still wearing his pajamas and Emilia thought this was absurd and wished he would be quieter he would wake the neighbors they hadn't liked it very much last month being woken up at two a.m. but that had all been in good fun just laughter and squeals of delight when they'd decided to go skinny dipping and there was a dog barking now Danny's screams were so loud he was saying her name but she was right there and the water was red the jets were off the timer must've run down there was blood and the girl was wearing a red bikini that reminded her of Hawaii and Danny kicked an empty bottle of wine on accident as he drug this girl's body from the hot tub in his wet pajamas but who was she and why wouldn't Danny look at her I'm right here why won't you look at me?
Daniel collapsed in a heap at the edge of the tub, holding the girl in his lap, his back to Emilia. He was sobbing and repeating Emilia's name.
"Dammit, I'm right here, Danny!"
She circled around to face Daniel, who was pushing the unconscious girl's hair out of her face—but no, she wasn't unconscious; she was dead.
And with a shock of recognition that was less shock and more of a confirmation of what she had already known but pushed away, deep down within her, until it was like she'd erased it completely, Emilia saw herself and remembered.
"I'm dead." Her voice was almost a whisper.
Daniel touched a gash on the dead girl's forehead, and Emilia brought her fingers up to her own, remembering the heat and the dizziness and her drunkenness and slipping—slipping and falling and that sudden pain in her forehead and then watery blackness.
"Danny, I'm dead," she half-choked. "I slipped and fell. I was drinking. It's been so long, and I had so much. I don't know how—"
And the dizziness was back. The world was spinning, and she couldn't talk, couldn't breathe. Her vision went dark. The last thing she heard—and she heard it as if she were underwater—was Daniel's voice—Daniel, who was in so much pain, who was sobbing against that cold, lifeless body he'd pulled from the hot tub—telling her, "Emilia, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." And she had wanted him to be sorry, hadn't she?
But she was the one who was sorry.

TORY leader David Cameron is to press the Government to fast-track the redevelopment of New Street Station.
He said that there had been "an appalling bureaucratic delay" in the long-awaited modernisation of Birmingham's premier rail station.
The Leader of the Opposition was in the city to give a keynote speech at the Local Government Association conference at the ICC.
He arrived by train at the station where he was greeted on a dingy platform by city council leader Mike Whitby.
New Street Station is one issue where the pair are in full agreement, but as readers of later editions of yesterday's Mail will know they are at odds over elected mayors.
As well as hitting out at Government red tape over the rail station, Mr Cameron repeated his belief that Britain's big cities should have elected mayors.
Mr Cameron said: "When you walk through Birmingham visiting places like the International Convention Centre, The Mailbox and then New Street Station, you go from the very best in development and regeneration to the very worst.
"I will be keeping the pressure up on this government to sort this mess out. If the people of Birmingham say there is one thing in this city that they all agree needs to be fixed to give the city a better outwardlooking face, they would to a person say New Street Station."

Netflix Picks Up Gareth Evans' 'Apostle' Starring Dan Stevens
Who knows when or if we'll ever get The Raid 3, but at least a new movie from Gareth Evans is happening. Last year we learned about his latest revenge movie, Apostle, that would star the red-hot Dan Stevens from Beauty and the Beast, The Guest, and Legion. Now that movie has a home that promises Evans will be able to make it exactly as he wants to.
Netflix has acquired global distribution on Apostle, which has now added Lucy Boynton (Sing Street), Michael Sheen, Bill Milner (Son of Rambow), and Kristine Froseth (of the Let the Right One In TV series) to the cast. Details on the plot remain slim, and they'll probably stay that way because Evans' movies are pretty straight-forward. Stevens plays a man who journeys to a remote island to rescue his sister from a cult, who have definitely messed with the wrong dude.
Hopefully we'll see Apostle later this year or early next, and fingers crossed Netflix gives it some kind of theatrical release, as well.

So, I just got the call from my kidney coordinator. I guess this is the call that we've been waiting for since I started testing in January. This is the call that Jami has been waiting for since she found out that her kidney was failing and she would need a transplant. This is the phone call that changed everything.
I'm approved to be a kidney donor.
I will be giving Jami my left kidney (which functions at 46%) on Tuesday, June 19. I'm keeping my right kidney (54% function).
As the curtain falls on my journey to being a kidney donor, I want to say thank you. Thank you for standing next to me and cheering loudly. Thank you for supporting me when I was weak. Thank you for giving so generously so that I can give also. Thank you for challenging me. Thank you for the hugs. Thank you for the tears. Thank you for the silence as we waited. Thank you for holding my hand and renewing my heart. Thank you for everything.
I feel like Thank You isn't a strong enough. Thank You doesn't say everything. But, it's all that I have to offer and I hope you all know how much more deeply it goes than that.
I am so thankful and humbled by this opportunity that's been presented. I told myself that I would embrace this opportunity and go as far as I can. It looks like "as far as I can" is going to be all the way. We are doing this. This is happening for you. I'm honored to give you a second chance at life. I want nothing in return except for you to have the most amazing life. Surround yourself with love and great opportunities. Be spontaneous and open to everything GREAT life has to offer you. Life your life open and free and with wild abandon. Enjoy everything. Spread kindness. Soak up the moments that count.
Meeting you has caused me to challenge myself. I challenged myself to "walk the walk". This opportunity has changed my life. I've learned the importance of compassion. And how to be truly selfless. I feel like I've gained a whole new understanding of what it means to be a Christian. Would Jesus donate his kidney to save someone's life? You better believe it. I know that he would.
Thank you for your friendship and all of the heart to heart talks. I love my sister-wife. 🙂 Xoxo
I'm still all in.

Our school is taking part in a new project called Schools Across Borders. Where we as students can connect with and talk to students from countries such as Palestine and Burma where there is conflict to see what their lives are like and what we can do to help.
Yesterday as part of SAB we went to City West for a talk on the program and to talk to students from Palestine and Burma in person and see why this is important to them and also to talk to the other schools involved in the project. We got to talk to NGO's and see what work they are doing and how it can help us in our project. It was a really good day as we got to see what the other schools are doing as well as seeing why it is important for us to be doing the project.

Web 2.0, Cisco WAAS & the Customer
It's clear the growing power of Web 2.0 and online communities have in bringing transparency and feedback to what was once a fairly closed IT community, or at least one that required conferences (and late night beverages) for honest information sharing.Enter blogging, and other Web 2.0 mediums. For Cisco and its WAN optimization solutions (brand name WAAS), the result today from Network World's community blog site was clear — customers are happy with Cisco's WAAS solution, and the results are clear and representable.You can read them here: http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/28002 More so, I think this speaks to the current — and still growing — power of Web 2.0 communities, and the power to "tell it like it is". I personally look forward to seeing where these communities will take all of us in the broad world of IT going forward.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Growing in Love
One of the events was a barbeque for my research group on Wednesday. Although the grill was shut down by the fire marshal (eek!) it was fun and I spent most of my time hanging out with my fellow grad students. I did talk a bit with this undergrad that my co-advisor Vassilis introduced me too. He's new at UCLA and new to our group as well, so Vassilis probably wanted me to talk to him and make sure he felt welcome.
So I was describing the evening to my best friend on the phone afterwards, and after I mention my talk with this guy she sort of paused, and then said:
"I just think it's really impressive how you don't even like, look at other guys, or wonder for a split second what it would be like to be with someone else. It's like you don't even have to make a choice--Jay's it for you."
I was taken aback at this (just because it kind of came out of no where). My response was that well, of course. It would be like considering someone else for my best friend! A person's best friend has been with them through all sorts of fun and drama, the big excitements and the devastating tears. To me, it's like that: why would you even want to consider someone else? Since then I've been thinking about it a little more.
When I was single, I would hang out with guys and I would think, "Hmm, he's smart and funny, I kinda like him." In college I would tell my sisters and my best friend about mini-crushes that I had and we would debate the pros and cons of that person. But it's true that, now, I no longer have those thoughts. I don't wonder about whether some rando and I would be more compatible, or what it would be like to date them. It's not that I don't force myself not to, it just literally doesn't happen--and the only reason I'm even thinking about this in the first place is that Nicole brought it up.
Yes, Jay and I are very serious, but it goes beyond that ... I don't need to look any further. I've found the best, for me. I really don't like the term soul mate, because it seems to imply that there is only one person for you, which I don't believe, or even worse, that you are not complete without them. I am my own person without Jay, and if I ever have to live life on my own I will still be 'complete'.
With that said, for who I am now and what I want to be, Jay is the one I want to share my life with. He completes me, he is better where I am weak and vice versa. We share dreams and goals. We respect and support each other. We have three years of shared experiences and helping each other through tough times. Why would I want anyone else in the face of that? Why would I even think that?
The below video, although funny, makes the point somewhere in the middle that "love is nothing to do with destined perfection, the connection is strengthened, the affection simply grows over time....
And love is made more powerful by the ongoing drama of shared experience and synergy and symbiotic empathy or ... something."
I think that really says it all. How could someone different offer me that same shared experience, the support of being there? As soon as if I'd ever wondered what it would be like to have a different best friend or a different mother. It's not even a thought.
You don't fall in love with someone--you grow in love. Together.

IN FACT, I had to TALK you into liking Jay over the phone from like 2947692476 miles away when you were in CA and I was in MD :P
I kind of agree with you. I mean, I'm sort of at a place where I can recognize that another man is attractive but not want to be with him because I've got someone way better (sort of like how I can appreciate that another woman is attractive but not want to look like her, because it's not me.) But I do think it's healthy to flirt. Just a bit. Not like heavy flirting, but just to remind yourself that in comparing him to other men, he always comes out on top. Or maybe I just like to make men think they'll have a chance and then crush their souls and be like "Taken! Sorry boys!" and boost Tim's ego in the process cause he has what other people want and can't have :P
I have a theory about soulmates btw. I'll have to tell you about it sometime (maybe in a blog post??) cause it fits in with my theory of reincarnation too. But the point Tim Minchin is also saying is that if you'd never met him, there would have been someone else eventually who would have shared experiences with you, etc.
Anyway. Regardless of all this soulmates don't exist crap, I still love this quote:
"The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you
Not knowing
How blind that was
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere
They're in each other all along"

I am not a particularly big fan of the song, but the video is pretty awesome. I got this video from Neatorama, who got it from Dark Roasted Blend, who got it from GHost Dog, who got it straight from RJD2. This, of course, means that I am at the top of this particular blogging food chain. Huzzah! Anyway, the video is rad, and the parts where it looks like the guys is using heelies is apparently just the radness of the dancing, not actual heelies. Enjoy!!

Im am seeing a constant decline in content, effort and quality of your blog site. Please be more orginal, insiteful and entertaining. As of late your works have disappointed me and Im sure most of your readers... all 6 of them. I recomend either a complete and total overhaul or shooting yourself.

Wow! Why weren't you posting when the content, effort and quality of my blog site was awesome?
Sorry you don't like it, but I also pretty much don't care. I post stuff that I think is funny or cool, and that's how it is going to stay. My 6 readers will probably agree that this is a good plan.
