"Do one thing every day that scares you."
― Eleanor Roosevelt
Expand Your Comfort Zone
Back in February for my birthday, I went on a spontaneous trip to the Kauai Island in Hawaii simply because I've never been there before.
After watching a video on the top ten most beautiful hikes in the U.S., I discovered one of them is in Kauai.
Without hesitation, I purchased my airplane ticket to Kauai without having made any definite plans.
My only strategy at the time was to hike the Kalalau trail along the Napali Coast.
As for any trip, I had only one goal – to expand my comfort zone.
Because that's the only way for me grow.
As the day for my trip got closer, I started to create more rigid arrangements by booking a stay at a local hostel which I have never done before.
By staying at a hostel, I would be forced to mingle with other guests.
To further push myself out of my comfort zone, I didn't reserve a car rental as I planned to hitchhike, walk, or take the bus to get around the island.
When I landed in Kauai, I started walking to the hostel from the airport with my 35-pound backpack.
The distance from the airport to the hostel is seven miles and my initial thought was to walk as far as I can before hitchhiking.
But strolling along the side of the road and next to the beautiful beach, I got the "hiker's high" and ended up walking the entire distance.
And of course, during my journey, I took a few breaks to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
After settling into the hostel and eating dinner at a local barbecue place, I took the initiative and mingled with others guests in the common area.
Fascinated by everyone's unique and interesting stories, I sat on the edge of my seat hearing them all.
When the time came for me to share mine, I told them my plans of visiting Kalalau trail by hitchhiking or taking the bus.
Upon hearing that, one of the men offered to give me a ride to the trailhead because he also had plans to head to that part of the island.
Right then and there, I found my ride to the trailhead.
Before that, I didn't know how I was going to get there, but I knew I would find a way.
After a few hours of hiking on the trail, I met five local Hawaiians (from the Island of Oahu) whom I instantly became friends with.
After building rapport, they invited me to stay with them on the beach.
Coincidentally our flights both leave on Sunday (I hiked in on Friday), therefore they offered me a ride to the airport if I stayed an extra night and leave with them.
I gladly accepted their offer and hiked together to the beach.
The trip was an amazing adventure. It went better than I could have ever planned for it.
My birthday present for myself was memorable, which I'll never forget.
This was all possible because I strategically pushed myself out of my comfort zone so that I would be in foreign and uncomfortable situations.
Deep down, I knew I could handle any challenges that came my way.
Not having a car made me resourceful by walking, hitchhiking, or taking the bus.
Having confidence in myself, I was still able to make new friends in new places and leverage my network by adding true value to them.
Compared to coming back home where I have all that I'll ever need, everything else just becomes relatively easy.
I have grown as a person because I "survived" the discomfort that I put myself in.
This empowering feeling encourages me to further push myself to learn and grow.
Your Current Comfort Zone Was Once Uncomfortable
Everything you comfortably do now was once uncomfortable.
Take walking for an example.
You were too young to remember this, but you fell countless times before you learned to walk.
Before you were able to walk, you had to crawl.
And in your early stages of learning how to walk, you fell down, a lot.
Although it was uncomfortable, you didn't stop or give up because you didn't know what quitting was.
That same thought never crossed your parents' minds either.
You persisted and eventually, you learned how to walk.
Take a look at your current skill set.
All that you know now, you had to learn it over time.
And with practice, you became better at it.
Find Comfort In Discomfort
If you can find comfort in discomfort, then you will have mastered life.
The life that you have now is easy and comfortable.
If you want to go somewhere, then you can simply drive or fly there without breaking a sweat.
If you're hungry, then you can go to a restaurant or a local grocery store to buy what you want.
But with comfortability, you pay a steep price for complacency.
Without having to face difficult challenges, you become weak and soft.
Throughout the course of your life, you will inevitably face tough challenges and obstacles.
When those times come, how will you handle them?
Will you grow in the face of adversity or will you be crippled by them?
Can you rise above the challenge?
If you welcome these challenges into your life, then you will learn and grow.
When it comes to building muscle, you must "break" your muscles apart so they can rebuild themselves back together to get bigger.
You will feel moments of discomfort when you workout.
That's when your muscles are working intensively with the lactic acid build-up, hence you have the "burn" feeling.
Your mind is telling you to stop, but you don't because you know that's part of the process.
This concept applies to every growth you experience.
Know that when discomfort comes, embrace it, and understand that it's there to help you grow.
Create Challenges By Design
Challenges will inevitably come into your life.
But what if you can better prepare yourself for those moments?
By equipping yourself now with challenges to learn and grow, you can better prepare when life unexpectedly throw moments of chaos at you.
You will then have increased your capacity for dealing with difficult challenges.
And if in those tough times you can stay equanimous knowing that you can handle them, then hardships won't intimidate you.
That's what true confidence is – the ability to face the unknown and know that you can handle it.
Experience is the only way for you to become confident.
Having dealt and survived difficult challenges, you better equip yourself for the present moment and the future.
Certainty doesn't exist because no one knows what will exactly happen in the future.
Although you don't know the outcome, you can better prepare for it by becoming more resilient, grounded, and courageous.
These are some of the attributes that you learn from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and face the unknown.
Experience Growth
Step outside of your comfort zone by starting off small to build confidence with small victories.
Everything great started off tiny.
The Great Wall of China was built one brick at a time.
The tallest tree in the world was once a tiny seed.
A marathon race is completed with one step at a time.
And for every great skill you have, it didn't start off so great.
Let's take a look at professional athletes.
The natural "talent" that you see in them are skills they have practiced for years.
You can't see that because you haven't zoomed out far enough.
Michael Jordan was one of the greatest NBA players of all time.
But he wasn't born a talented basketball player.
He had to put in years and years of deliberate practice of the fundamentals of basketball – dribbling, shooting, rebounding, defending, and being a team-player.
Being the first to show up to practice and the last to leave, Michael Jordan dedicated his whole life to playing basketball.
Hence he became one of the best and won multiple championships with the help of skilled and supportive teammates.
Another example is Michael Phelps.
Determined to be the most decorated swimmer ever, he performed ridiculous swim workouts twice a day.
Other Olympic swimmers thought it was not humanly possible to do two of those intense workouts per day.
But to Michael Phelps, impossible was just a mere suggestion as he shattered the normal human expectation.
As a result, he has won more gold medals than any Olympic swimmer in history.
Every "successful" person you know, you only see their wins.
You rarely see the blood, sweat, and tears that go with their success.
Focused on the fame, you don't hear about all the work they do when they're not in the spotlight – when no one is watching them.
You only want the secret recipe for overnight success.
But the truth is that there's no such thing because you must earn it.
And if it's important to you, then you'll make the time and effort.
Otherwise, you won't. It's simple as that.
You have to want it for yourself because it must come from within.
Whatever goal you have for yourself, be realistic and challenge yourself by taking incremental amounts.
For example, if you haven't run a mile in years, don't sign up for a full marathon.
Start off with a one-mile run because that goal is more realistic, yet outside of your comfort zone.
Eventually, you'll get stronger and faster. Soon you can complete more difficult runs.
Closing Thoughts
Expanding your comfort zone is the only way to make you grow and improve your life.
And if you're not growing, then you're dying.
Look at all the plants and trees in nature; they're either vibrantly blooming or slowly decaying.
Before reaching their highest potential, the plants and trees were once a small seed buried underground.
Yet somehow they found a way to grow out of the dirt and reach the surface with proper nutrients and nourishment.
If it wasn't for the soil covering them, they wouldn't have been able to grow.
The same concept applies to you.
Without challenges, you cannot grow.
And without growth, you become stagnant and fall behind because your competition is constantly improving.
It's easy to be complacent because you're comfortable and safe.
But when tough times come, you won't be ready for them.
Learn to use challenges as a tool to help you better prepare for life.
It will bring you more joy because you'll live life close to the edge.
What you seek is outside of your comfort zone, so step into it, and embrace the discomfort.
You'll learn that the only way for you to evolve is to do things you've never done before.
After reaping the benefits, you'll make conscious efforts to constantly push yourself out of your comfort zone.

Yes, much as adults do, says a West German study at Heidelberg University. Only they cannot assess pain and communicate it. So far, the medical profession had maintained that infants do not have a fully developed nervous system and are therefore unable to sense much pain. Not surprisingly, a 1998 study conducted in the United States showed that only 6.7% of infants who were subjected to lumbar or morrow punctures were given pain killers. The rest only got sedatives.
Animal experiments and observations of babies have recently revealed that the psychological mechanics of pain perception is fully operational immediately after birth. The Heidelberg scientists studied reflexes typically connected with the experience of pain before coming to this conclusion. Their advise to pediatricians: if surgery is performed even an new born, sufficient pain suppression measures are required.

If you have been reckoning leading one of your company squads to an quaint location for a team building exercising, and have been researching on the Net about workable locations to move for the same, then you plausibly might have come across the team building Ireland connection. Over the last few days, Ireland has set itself as a superior position for team building activities, and any Net enquiry on commended positions for team building practice is likely to disclose this team building Ireland link. And while it is for the most part European companies that first learned the suitability of Ireland as a location for team building actions, many more companies beyond Europe are more and more chasing suit in holding their team building actions to Ireland.
Of course, the conclusion as to whether Ireland is the complete location for your team building exercise counts on a number of elements – chief among them being the skillful team building activities you have in mind. If your estimate of a team building activity is something like offroad driving, archery or moving target shooting, then by all means, Ireland is the best point to get for these types of actions.
Moving to Ireland for a team building action is not as challenging as it first fathoms. The first step in taking your team building action will be work out what you want to achieve in terms of team building, in line with the winner mantra of going with an goal in intellect. Having made up your mind on what you want to achieve through the team building effort and formulated it into a reasoning statement, you need to function out what team building practice would be complete for the kind of team building goals you have on your argument. The following stride, having worked out what team building utilization will be abstract for the team building goals you gain on your affirmation is to straight off to go shopping for a Ireland team building workouts service provider, who will serve you in its accomplishment. To do this, you can initiate a simple Internet hunting on a germane search term, like for instance 'team building Ireland' and realize the number of firms providing such servings in Ireland. You can also think of exercising a more placed Internet research on the kind of actions you purpose to apply for your team building like for instance 'Archery Ireland' or 'blind fold driving Ireland' if archery and blind fold driving occur to be your team building activities of selection. A targeted Internet research – like 'Archery Ireland' and 'blind fold driving Ireland' is in all probability to yield you speedier solutions than a more inferred lookup on 'team building Ireland', though the later could open your intellect to team building actions you had not considered of before.
Once you discover a team building activities facilitator in Ireland, and commit them for some of the bundles they offer, all you will have to concern yourself with is how you will experience to Ireland because once you are Ireland, the team building actions facilitator you solicited up with will normally take guardianship of everything – including your catering and accommodation – resulting you to condense on your team building campaign.

Open Web Asia 2010 in KL
Open Web Asia is a conference bringing together Asia's brightest web technology minds to put a unique spin on the latest in internet developments, and this year it lands in Kuala Lumpur with an impressive list of guest speakers and much promise for interesting ideas. The theme for the two-day even is (perhaps unsurprisingly) "Web Innovation in Asia" and (perhaps also unsurprisingly) the focus will be on mobile applications, cloud computing and location-based services. Guest speakers will arrive from across the region and beyond, representing companies like Google, Yahoo, TechCrunch, Digg and Amazon.
The inaugural OWA in Seoul in 2008 was a roaring success with over 500 participants, and 2010 marks its first landing in Southeast Asia (first of many, hopefully). If you're at all involved with the web and interested in what its Asian future will look like, it could be worth dropping by Crowne Plaza Mutiara Hotel, KL, on 13-14 July.

Location: Akron, Ohio.
Nickname: Zips.
Last year's ranking: No. 103.
What was said:
I believe Akron will improve upon its 4-8 record in 2007 if the offense can find some consistency, an elusive trait last fall. The quarterback position, led by the junior Chris Jacquemain, needs to improve, and a receiver needs to step up to replace Arthur's production. Though questions marks remain on that side of the ball, the defense should be good enough to keep them in MAC games, and a .500 season is possible. If Akron gets two road wins out of the trio of Kent State, Eastern Michigan and Temple, it will finish 6-6; if they don't, the Zips will be under .500 for the third straight year.
Re-ranking: No. 94.
2008 record and recap: (5-7, 3-5). The Zips lost four games by a touchdown or less, a trend that has come to define the last three Akron teams. Last fall was the worst yet: Akron either held a fourth-quarter lead or was tied with less than two minutes remaining in four of its final five defeats, a stretch that dropped the team from the top of the East division to its final fourth-place standing. Frustrating fans even more was the fact that, when on its game, Akron was as good as any team in the MAC; the Zips scored more than 30 points seven times, including in three consecutive weeks in November. In total, the Akron offense averaged an even 30 points and 396.7 yards per game. Unfortunately, the defense allowed similar totals of 31.2 points and 397.6 yards per game. Still, despite the team's shortcomings (especially on defense), Akron entered the second weekend of November at 5-4 (3-2 in conference play) and, with three consecutive East opponents to end the season, a great chance at the division crown. For the third consecutive year, things did not end as planned for the Zips. Will 2009 be any different?
High point: A 42-28 win over Syracuse on the second weekend of the season was good for program prestige, even if the Orange was terrible. Akron's most dominating MAC performance was a 47-30 win over Toledo, as the team burst out of the gate to a 21-0 first-quarter lead and cruised to victory.
Low point: Three consecutive losses to end the season. The losing streak began with a devastating 43-40 quadruple overtime loss to Buffalo. The two teams finished regulation tied at 24-24 but combined to score 35 points in the extra frames, with the winning points coming on a Bulls field goal after Akron fumbled in its opening possession of the fourth overtime. After another slim defeat at Ohio (by 49-42), the Zips couldn't prevent a 21-point fourth-quarter run by Temple in a 27-6 loss.
Tidbit: After 64 years of playing its home games at the Rubber Bowl, a stadium whose name paid homage to Akron's history as United States' greatest rubber manufacturer, the Zips will move into the brand-new InfoCision Stadium in 2009. The estimated cost of building the new home field is approximately $61 million. According to my best estimate, the Rubber Bowl cost around $600,000 to build, making Akron's new stadium about 102 times more expensive to construct than its previous one. Is that in line with inflation?
Tidbit (MAC edition): Akron has a winning career record against only four of its 12 MAC opponents: Ball State (10-8-1), Buffalo (8-2), Eastern Michigan (16-11) and Kent State (29-20-2).
Former players in the N.F.L.: 8 – C Andy Alleman (Miami Dolphins), CB Brandon Anderson (Indianapolis Colts), LB Chase Blackburn (Giants), CB Reggie Corner (Buffalo Bills), QB Charlie Frye (Seattle Seahawks), WR Domenik Hixon (Giants), LB Jason Taylor (Miami Dolphins), CB Bryan Williams (Cleveland Browns).
Top five N.F.L. players from Akron: Not a great list for the Zips, though Jason Taylor could someday find himself in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. When a name like Red Daum gets thrown out there, you know you're in trouble. Our top three are Syracuse, Purdue and Washington.
1. DE Jason Taylor (Miami, Washington; 1997-present)
2. S Victor Green (Jets, New England, New Orleans; 1993-2003)
3. S Dwight Smith (T.B., New Orleans, Minn., Detroit; 2001-present)
4. QB Charlie Frye (Cleveland, Seattle; 2005-present)
5. RB Red Daum (Akron Zips; 1922-26)
Conference: Mid-American, East division.
Head coach: J.D. Brookhart (Colorado State '88), 27-33 after five seasons at Akron. Though the Zips have never been terrible under Brookhart, he has been unable to recapture the stellar play of his first two teams (2004-5), which combined to finish 13-11. The 2005 team, which won six games by 10 points or less, won both the East division and the MAC championship; that team also participated in Akron's first and only bowl game since joining the F.B.S. in 1987. The last three seasons, however, have seen Akron go 14-22, making the 2009 season a big year for Brookhart and his staff. Prior to being named only the program's fifth head coach since 1961, Brookhart spent seven years on the staff at Pittsburgh (1997-2003), all of which came under Walt Harris. His tenure began as the tight ends coach (1997-98), after which he coached the wide receivers (1999). In addition to coaching the wideouts, Brookhart added the offensive coordinator duties for his final four seasons (2000-3). This period saw the Panthers never finish worse than 7-5 in any season, largely because of terrific receiver play (Larry Fitzgerald, for starters) and the program's most potent offenses in more than 20 years. As detailed in last year's preview, Brookhart ended an impressive career as a Xerox salesman to enter the coaching profession in 1995, when he accepted an unpaid assistant position under Mike Shanahan with the Denver Broncos. Though he impressed with his strong first two seasons, Akron has slid into mediocrity over the last three. That makes 2009 a huge season for Brookhart, who earned himself some time with an early MAC title but must deliver with at least a .500 record to show the Akron administration that he still has the program headed in the right direction.
Tidbit (coaching edition): Akron made two high-profile additions to its offensive coaching staff. The first is the aforementioned Walt Harris, who was named the team's quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator. Brookhart's mentor has been out of coaching since being fired as the coach at Stanford in 2006. With his 13 years of head coaching experience, Harris is an excellent hire for the Zips. The second hire was Shane Montgomery, the former Miami (Ohio) head coach, as the team's offensive coordinator. Montgomery, who was the Miami offensive coordinator before serving four years as its head coach, brings a wealth of MAC experience to the table. He'll be a tremendous asset in conference play.
Returning starters: 15 (9 offense, 6 defense).
Key losses: After finding himself buried on the depth chart as a junior, the 2006 and 2008 all-MAC running back Dennis Kennedy had his best season yet last fall, leading the team in rushing (1,321 yards) and total touchdowns (18). This marked a great comeback season for Kennedy, who led the team with 931 yards rushing in 2006 but was a rarely-used asset in 2007. He was also a valuable weapon in the passing game, finishing third on the team with 31 receptions and fourth with 314 yards. Kennedy, as well as the backup Andrew Johnson (278 yards), benefited from a strong offensive line, one spearheaded by the three-time all-MAC left tackle Chris Kemme. After earning second-team honors as a sophomore and junior, Kemme was a first-team all-conference selection in 2008. Kemme was a four-year starter for the Zips, first as a right tackle (2005-6) before moving to the left side. At tight end, Merce Poindexter finished tied for second on the team with four touchdown receptions. The Akron defense lost five starters off last year's team, including the all-MAC linebacker Kevin Grant. Last year was the second consecutive season that Grant, a four-year starter, earned all-conference honors. Grant also led the team in tackles (85); though it was the first time he led the Zips in stops, it marked the fourth straight season he finished among the top four on the team. In the secondary, Bryan Williams (not to be confused with Rep. Brian Williams of Ohio) made a seamless transition from all-conference running back to all-conference safety, as he repeated as a third-team all-MAC honoree, albeit at a different position. In 2007, Williams led the team in rushing with 728 yards and led the MAC – and finished second nationally – with a 31.9 yard kick return average. This total set an Akron record and was the second-highest single-season total in conference history, trailing only the 32.9-yard average by Marshall's James Williams in 1999. In addition to his sterling 29-yard kick return average last fall, Williams had 64 tackles (fifth on the team) and an interception. Others losses on defense include linebacker/bandit Doug Williams (69 tackles, 2 interceptions) and cornerback Brandon Anderson (42 tackles, 1 interception).
Players to watch: The senior quarterback Chris Jacquemain's play took a big step forward last fall, when he improved upon his sophomore totals in yardage (2,748, up from 1,623), touchdowns (20 from 11) and completion percentage (58 percent). Each of those totals ranked among the top five single-season performances in school history. Only twice as a junior did Jacquemain not throw for at least 200 yards in a game (161 against Bowling Green, 166 at Temple); not surprisingly, Akron lost both of those games. It's very clear that Jacquemain is the most important player on this Akron team: When he's on, Akron's offense is one of the top groups in the conference; when he not, the team struggles. Though the receiver position was a major question mark for Akron heading into 2008, the seniors Deryn Bowser and Andre Jones put that issue to rest with sterling breakout seasons. Bowser, a juco transfer, led the team with 64 receptions and 785 receiving yards. Jones, a former starter in the defensive backfield, finished second on the team with 47 catches for 678 yards, but led the team with 7 receiving touchdowns and his 14.4 yards per catch average. Wideout depth continues with Jeremy Bruce (29 receptions for 345 yards) and Dashan Miller (16 for 187)/ Unlike in the months before the start of the 2008 season, this position is an area of strength heading into the fall. Replacing a standout of Kemme's caliber on the offensive line will be difficult, but Akron does return four starters on the line. Replacing Kemme at left tackle will be the junior Corey Woods, who has started all 24 games of his career at the opposite tackle spot. Like Woods, the junior Mike Ward has started 24 straight games at left guard, giving the Zips an experienced, powerful left side of the line. Moving into Woods's old right tackle spot is the sophomore Jake Anderson, who enters his first season as a starter. The most accomplished of the six returning starters on defense is the junior lineman Almondo Sewell, an all-conference pick as both a freshman and sophomore. Last fall, Sewell led all Zip linemen with 62 tackles and 2 sacks. With another all-conference campaign, Sewell would join Kemme as the only Zips to earn all-MAC honors three times over a career. He'll be joined on the Akron defensive line by the senior nose guard Ryan Bain, a former Iowa transfer. If Bain can overcome a series of painful back injuries that have limited him since arriving on campus prior to the 2008 season, the Akron front three (the team runs a 3-3-5) will take a tremendous step forward. Adding depth, and potentially taking a starting role, are the sophomores Joe Rash and Dan Marcoux. The leader of the Akron defense is the junior linebacker Mike Thomas, the team's leading returning tackler (81, 8.5 for loss). Though undersized (5-foot-10, 215 pounds), Thomas always seems to find a way to be around the ball, as illustrated by his two and a half sacks, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. The secondary returns three starters: strong safety Jalil Carter (free safety last fall), free safety Wayne Cobham (moved from rover) and cornerback Miguel Graham. It will be interesting to see how Carter and Cobham play in their new spots. Graham, a senior, led the Zips with three interceptions last fall.
Position battle to watch: I'm interested in seeing how Akron rebuilds its linebacker corps. The only known commodity is Thomas, who will move to Doug Williams's open bandit spot. He's a terrific player, but he'll need some help. The favorite to step in at middle linebacker is the junior Sean Fobbs, who has limited starting experience (two starts last fall). Fobbs has prototypical middle linebacker size (6-foot-1, 240 pounds) but will need to put a total game together if he is to come close to replacing Grant's totals from a season ago. Currently sitting at No. 2 in the middle is the senior Al-Teric Balaam, who had 21 tackles in 11 games as a backup in 2008. On the strong side, the likely starter is the athletic sophomore Aaron Williams. An offensive player in high school, Williams took quickly to the defensive side of the ball with a 47-tackle rookie season. In a normal defensive scheme, I would have issues with Williams's lack of size (only 205 pounds). However, Akron's look brings a hybrid linebacker/safety down near the line of scrimmage, which will allow Williams more opportunities to rush the quarterback. That rover spot, held by Cobham in 2008, features a battle between the junior Shawn Lemon, a starter on the line last fall, and the freshmen Troy Gilmer and Will Fleming.
2009 schedule:
Sept. 5 @ Penn State
Sept. 12 Morgan State
Sept. 19 Indiana
Sept. 26 @ Central Michigan
Oct. 10 Ohio
Oct. 17 @ Buffalo
Oct. 24 @ Syracuse
Oct. 21 @ Northern Illinois
Nov. 7 Kent State
Nov. 13 Temple
Nov. 20 @ Bowling Green
Nov. 27 Eastern Michigan
Game(s) to watch: Akron will need a strong November if it hopes to win the East. Last November saw the Zips stumble out of the MAC race, so I'm interested in seeing how this year's team fares down the stretch. This team must likely win three of those final four, especially with three games coming at home. A win over Indiana in non-conference play would also be a big boost; same with a second straight win over the Orange.
Season breakdown & prediction: Much like another MAC team coming up on the Countdown (spoiler alert: Toledo), I can see Akron winning its division and advancing to the MAC championship. However, I can just as easily see the Zips again crumbling in the season's final month and finishing fourth in the East. Hedging my bets? Yes, definitely. There is no doubt that Akron is among the most talented teams in the MAC – especially on offense – and a team that, on any given Saturday, can beat any conference opponent. However, I can't place them higher than fourth in the East, ahead of only Kent State and Miami (Ohio). Why? Because of a below-average defense, a unit that leaves me no reason to believe it will be any better this fall than it was a season ago, when it ranked among the bottom three in the conference in rush, pass efficiency and total defense. If Akron is to reach six wins and a shot at bowl play it will need to both split non-conference games against Indiana and Syracuse (giving it an even 2-2 mark out of the MAC) and win three of its final four. Doable? No question. But I can't see this team doing any better than 6-6. More likely, I see a repeat of last fall's 5-7 mark.
Dream season: After a four-year hiatus, Akron returns to the top of the East division with an 8-4 regular season record.
Nightmare season: The Zips go 4-8, matching the program's worst mark under Brookhart. The poor finish costs the sixth-year coach his job.
Where do Akron fans congregate: The best Akron message board can be found at ZipsNation.org. For recruiting news, check out ZipsReport.com, part of the Scout.com network.
Who is No. 92?: Our next school was ranked by the Princeton Review as the No. 1 best value among American private colleges.

June E News
|Back to E-News
Plymouth Rock Foundation's E-News – June, 2012
by Dr. Paul Jehle, Executive Director
Lessons from Bunker Hill
June 17 is "Bunker Hill" Day in Massachusetts. Recently, there has been a battle as to whether State workers get it off as a holiday, though it is not observed State-wide for anyone else. The battle over State paid holidays is significant, but it distracts us from real lessons of patriotism, valor and Christian conviction. It is unfortunate that what our forefathers fought for was the liberty to provide for ourselves, yet today we fight over preserving entitlements for public servants. It is a symptom of where we are as a nation.
Let us take a moment to peel back the pages of history to remember a few lessons from that day in 1775. After the battles of Lexington and Concord in April, Colonial Militia (about 15,000) came from town after town to surround the British in Boston. Since the geography of Boston has changed since that day, it is important to note that Boston itself was on a small peninsula of land. Across a short body of water another peninsula had Charlestown at its tip. On this peninsula there were three hills named Moulton, Breed and Bunker. The Colonial Committee of Safety had overheard the British talking about taking possession of Charlestown and this entire peninsula.
Colonel Prescott then brought 1,200 men to begin the work of putting up defenses against a British assault. Though work initially started on Bunker Hill, as the map here demonstrates, they thought Breed's Hill was more defensible and closer to the British assault from the water. Thus, though the initial plan was to defend Bunker Hill, the actual battle took place on Breed's Hill. When the British saw the colonists working to defend the Hill on the night of June 16, they began a bombardment. In the morning, the bombardment continued, with little effect. However, Prescott saw they could be flanked and sent Militia units to defend the flanking positions, knowing they could be surrounded without a route of retreat.
When Elbridge Gerry saw Joseph Warren, Chairman of the Committee of Safety, arriving, he told him he was too important to expose his life to harm. Warren replied "it is pleasant and becoming to die for one's country." Warren was the author of the Suffolk Resolves, the legal papers of interposition declaring that the King had violated the Constitution and resistance under authority was legitimate. He was also the second major-general of Massachusetts forces. Warren was thus perceived as the one who should take command, and Putnam and Prescott said they would take his orders. He replied "I come as a volunteer." Such character of service is what we need today if we are to recover our liberties and stand on conviction of principle.
The colonial militia put up their defenses, desiring to avenge their brethren already killed at Lexington and Concord. More than three thousand British began to land, while the colonists may have had fifteen hundred. The British set Charlestown on fire, but this simply set aflame the hearts of the colonists to defend their liberties. Due to the lack of ammunition and the danger of being over-run, Prescott ordered the men to hold their fire "until you see the whites of their eyes." The first assault up the hill was thwarted, and the British retreated. The hearts of the colonists now knew, with God on their side, farmers could defeat soldiers!
But the British weren't done. However, their second assault was also thwarted, and they retreated with their dead lying everywhere along the hill. They reported that their divisions sent to flank the redoubt were met with such resistance that only a few of each division were still alive. The British were now fueled by their pride. They despised the colonists, and especially their religion. They had burned the church in Charlestown, and the smoke, providentially, had blown right in their eyes as they ascended the hill – the wind suddenly changing. The third charge was massive, and the colonists had little ammunition left and only 50 bayonets, while the British fixed their bayonets for the charge. When they did, the colonists were overrun but the danger was to maintain a route of escape.
Once the signal for retreat had been given, it was the Militia units sent to the flanks that covered the retreat, along with two key providential events. Major John Pitcairn shouted "the day is ours" but as he took the hill he was killed by African-American Peter Salem. The British were so stunned that they temporarily paused, allowing many colonists to retreat. The second was Joseph Warren being shot in the head. Though the British rejoiced, knowing whom they had killed; the Americans protected his body - thus allowing more to escape. What has been lost to history, but captured in John Trumbull's painting, is that Peter Salem, a freed African-American slave, was the hero of the battle. The British had 1,054 killed or wounded, while the Americans 450. "We'll sell any hill at this price" said the colonists.
So what lessons can we learn from Bunker Hill? First, we must have discipline and resist our enemies in submission to God. Second, though the battle was lost, it was the pivotal inspiration for the rest of the War. Though we may lose battles in today's culture war, we must persevere. As Ward, one of the American officers noted as a result of the battle, "we shall finally come off victorious, and triumph over the enemies of freedom in America." May this be true today as we fight spiritually and then in every practical way possible to preserve our liberties.

Sony's new PlayStation 4 VR headset is out now - here's everything you need to know before buying it
Darren Weaver/Business Insider
Sony PlayStation VROn Thursday, Sony's long-in-the-works Project Morpheus officially comes to fruition with the launch of PlayStation VR, a $399 virtual reality headset that attaches to the PlayStation 4.
The PlayStation VR is the most accessible, easy-to-use option in the nascent VR medium, and it's going to win a lot of converts (like me!) just by being so darn easy to use.
I've spent the past few weeks with PlayStation VR - here's what you need to know if you're thinking about buying one:

We learnt a few things... lower the shelf in the top oven otherwise the yorkshires will hit the roof and burn, they turned out to be MONSTERS! That the meat will continue cooking after you have removed it from the oven so what was medium-rare will end up being medium-well. And finally that even when you think there is not enough there is more than plenty. The meat was kindly supplied by Country Valley Foods and was absolutely delicious! A little card in the delivery told me that the beef is sourced from a small group of local farms less than 3 miles from the factory and that it was expertly cut by Colin. I have a big joint of beef topside ready for Christmas dinner too. I don't actually like turkey but the rest of the family do, so my parents are also cooking a turkey crown and bringing that over with them.
I am being a little lazy this year and buying shop bought puddings. I really do not need the pressure of producing the perfect cakes this year along with doing the whole dinner thing. We tested two of the frozen M&S desserts and they were amazing! I do love a good slice of black forest gateaux, mmmm! I have also had a little rearrange of my tea shelf, isn't it pretty.

New Delhi, Feb 26 (ANI): Congress leader Sajjan Kumar was on Friday granted bail by the Delhi High Court in connection with the two cases registered against him in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
The Delhi Police earlier on Thursday suspended Kumar's personal security officer (PSO) after he informed his seniors that Kumar, accused in 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases, was "missing" for at least two days,
The PSO, Constable Ram Niroha, reportedly approached his seniors at Delhi Police's security wing on February 19.
The Karkardooma Court had on Tuesday (February 23) issued a fresh non-bailable warrant against Kumar and slammed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for its failure to arrest Kumar and others accused in the case.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Lokesh Kumar Sharma had refuted the plea of the investigating agencies to issue a proclamation against the accused on the ground that he was absconding.
The CBI, which arrested one out of 12 accused, said that it conducted raids at Kumar's residence four times after the warrant was issued on February 17, but failed to apprehend him. It also asked the court to declare the former MP and other accused as absconders.
The court issued fresh non-bailable warrant against Kumar and 11 other accused for March 10.
The court said on Tuesday, "So far ground work is concerned; CBI does not seem to be serious enough to apprehend the accused. CBI wants to complete only paper work. These are all stereotype reports."
The harsh comments of the court came followed by the CBI acceptance that it failed to apprehend the accused despite conducting raids.
The CBI had on January 13 charge-sheeted Kumar and others in the two cases accusing them of making provocative speeches, leading to the killing of 12 persons in the riots that followed the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984. (ANI)

BT has joined PlusNet in offering a standard speed (512kbps download) ADSL broadband service at under £20 per month. At the time of writing (3 March 2004) the main difference appears to be that BT's offer restricts the download volume to a maximum of 1 gigabyte (Gb) a month, while PlusNet make no such restriction, though their conditions do say that their service "is offered for residential use only", suggesting that they at least make some assumptions about usage - I was unable to find terms and conditions at their website. 1Gb a month equates to 30-40Mb a day, and should be more than enough other than for users who are surfing continuously 24/7!
PlusNet's service also includes web space and email addresses.
At the time of writing the BT low price service ("Broadband Basic") had not yet appeared on their consumer marketing website, only in a press release. Of course the real catch in all this is that only those close enough to an ADSL-enabled exchange can benefit from price competition for the service; I continue to campaign for better arrangements for all our rural areas!

- Court: Intellectual Property Archives
- Area(s) of Law: Copyright
- Date Filed: 08-10-2012
- Case #: 11-C5233
- Judge(s)/Court Below: Conlon
Opinion (Conlon): Hearthware produces a halogen oven under the trademark "NuWave." Hearthware made two infomercials advertising its halogen ovens. In 2010, E. Mishan & Sons (Emson) began selling a halogen oven under the trademark "Super Wave." Emson hired a production company to produce an infomercial for the Super Wave. While no footage from the NuWave infomercial was used in the Super Wave infomercial, there were many similarities, such as, time-lapse photography of the cooking process, use of many of the same foods, upbeat and enthusiastic hosts, and suggestions that their products may be used in an RV, dorm, or boat. The Super Wave has "tri-cooking technology," while the NuWave has "triple-combo cooking power." The court found that these similarities fall under the scènes à faire doctrine, preventing a finding of infringement in elements that fail to distinguish works within a certain class because they are standard or unavoidable. The court GRANTED summary judgment to Emson.

A crystal can be bedazzling and more so if it comes from the house of Swarovski. Swarovski is an Austrian producer of luxury cut lead glass or crystal. The Swarovski Kristall business unit works primarily with luxury crystals and the Tyrolit business unit works towards manufacturing bonded abrasives and sawing and drilling machines. The brand has become synonymous with not only crystals but jewelry, watches, pouches, show pieces and other goods of austenation.
The brand has been quite a bit famous in the West since a long time and the trend has been catching up in India. This may be attributed to its high price, premium positioning and the general perception that Swarovski is a luxury item. Many Hollywood celebrities like Beyonce swear by Swarovski. However, with its foray into the world of jewelry, they have made in-roads into the Indian consumer base.
Today, Swarovski crystal jewelry is available in various hues and shades. From daily wear pendants to exquisite neck pieces, the brand is ruling hearts. Theme based jewelry for particular occasions like marriage, child birth, baby showers are available at their premium luxury stores. The jewelry pieces in rhodium polish and colored stones are a huge craze amongst the youngsters and come at a cool $125.
Apart from jewelry, they have come up with innovative products to showcase the crystal. Like the beautiful beetle bottle opener with gold or rhodium finish. Even the crystal locomotive can prove to be an artist's collectible. Paper weights made out of Swarovski crystals are always a delight! The show piece ducks also make for a wonderful gift.

The grounds are lush and beautiful.
The main pool, is huge.
It has areas for games and sunning.
And, not one....
...but, two, swim-up bars.
Interesting sculptures, decorate the resort. This...the head of a serpent.
It winds it's way along the walkway.
Quite a long serpent.
Then, this little 'river' winds around to another pool.
The edge runs along a small lake.
Jann on swings.
The bar here, has swings for seats.
We wind our way around to the Grand Mayan. These giant pots, with agaves, grace the entrance.
And, another lush, lovely pool.
Across a bridge, to an island.
It's a tropical paradise.
The grounds are packed with beautiful, lush plants.
More plants, and the beach next.
Thanks for letting me share my trip with you.
