The following list describes the desired traits that non-Christian young people desire to see in Christians, particularly among their elders as compiled by the authors of "unChristian: What A New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity….And Why It Matters." When I presented quotes from this book on my blog last year, I suggested that we as believers should extend the same considerations to those who follow patriarchy as well as to young unbelievers. I would like to use this list (from pp 194-5 of the book) as a point of departure for relating to young adults in general. Those interviewed suggested that these considerations would improve their receptivity to the Gospel message from Christians, both young and old.
1. Listen to me.
2. Don't label me.
3. Don't be so smart.
4. Put yourself in my place.
5. Be genuine.
6. Be my friend with no other motives.
The Problem of Truth in Postmodern Interpersonal Relationships
As a Christian who does not share this mindset, I have a few problems with this list, as I readily see great potential for contradictions within the list itself. I believe that truth is not fluid and believe that it is sinful to think outside of the Law of Non-Contradiction in terms of belief and truth. (If a ping pong ball is spherical, it can not be cuboidal at the same time. It is either a sphere or it is not anything like being a sphere, particularly if it is a cube. It cannot be both at the same time.) Postmodern thought largely rejects the Law of Non-Contradiction. (One person believes that the ping pong ball is spherical, and another person believes that the very same ping pong ball is a cube. Postmodernism declares both to be accurate and correct about the same ping pong ball at the same time.) Please join me in an exploration of possible rationales which might explain why some of these considerations might be problematic for those over 40 (those who esteem truth in a modernist fashion versus a postmodern one).
Of all of these ideals listed here, I am personally more adept at being genuine, a virtue that epitomizes non-contradiction in my understanding of truth. At times, I am genuine to a fault. Being genuine means being truthful, and sometimes being truthful means labeling, being smart or having motive. Sometimes being genuine means that I might not be able to listen to material that I find to be inappropriate. Being genuine bears more significant importance to me than all of these other directives on the list. But far and above the other desired considerations, "labeling" presents the most problematic competition. The moral priority of niceness above all other virtues for young adults presents difficult communication challenges with those who view objective truth and Christian principle as the foremost moral priorities in the Christian life.
Validating Truth
There's a saying that if something or someone looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it's a duck. Circumstances constantly call upon Christians to discern matters in this very fashion, exercising critical thinking, an analytical skill. Unfortunately, when postmodern thought shifted veracity away from objectivity and from the law of non-contradiction, truth became experience-based rather than fact-based. Something very interesting happened when this took place. Prior to this, truth always rested upon facts that were external to the self and was not a personal experience. When truth's value became dependent upon how people esteemed truth, it became an internal and personal experience.
If I believe that the earth is round and follows an orbit around the sun and if anyone criticizes my belief in this truth, because it is based on a truth that is external to me, the criticism or rejection of the truth or my belief in it does not reflect poorly on me personally. Truth can certainly rise to the occasion to demonstrate its own truthfulness. I am certainly responsible to present reasons for credulity, but whether a person declines to embrace the truth is their own affair. Objective reality and faith in principles that embody truth present their own best evidence, and that evidence is external and independent from me. Likewise, in matters of Christian faith and belief, the Word of God requires that I be able to articulate reasons for the hope that lies within me in meekness and patience, but the Holy Spirit bears up that truth. God uses my faithful witness and good fruit as a testimony, but even the coordination of this process is governed and orchestrated by God. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word of Truth does not. God's character and qualities in no way depend upon my performance and my lack of performance does not detract from them.
In contrast, if truth rests only upon my esteem of truth and is true only because I accept it as such, when that truth is criticized, that criticism or rejection of "my truth" becomes an extensively personal experience. James Sire says that this existential way of esteeming truth makes truth "inextricably bound to the knower" as a consequence. I become personally and psychologically connected to that truth because I assigned value to it when I esteemed it as true. Attack what I hold to be true and you attack my person, whether or not I am directly involved with your process of evaluating the truth or not. If I am a postmodernist, and I say that the earth orbits around the sun, the facts about astrophysics and astronomy mean nothing because my belief alone establishes the veracity of my claims. If a critic challenges this belief and my facts, this amounts to a personal threat. The only valid proof and evidence that I can possibly offer derives from my faith in the idea that the earth orbits the sun. Proving my belief to others then becomes a matter of convincing others of "my truth." My own personal integrity of self is then hinged upon the veracity of my belief.
Psychological Development
Truth's own veracity only adds to the dilemmas of the psychological crises that young people experience. Erik Erickson identified eight such crises that are common to certain age groups across the human life span. Teens primarily learn fidelity during their years of development, and Erickson identified their challenge and task as "Identity versus Role Confusion." They are concerned with the question of "Who am I?" The individual teen relates to society primarily through ideology during this stage, learning how ideology affects them. For young adults between the ages of 20 and 40, provided they have successfully traversed the psychological crisis of adolescence and discerned "who they are" in relation to the world, they proceed into a new psychological task of "Intimacy versus Isolation." They are concerned with the question of "Am I loved and wanted?" as they add the ability and skill of loving to the fidelity they learned in the earlier stage of their personal development. The individual young adult relates to society through patterns of cooperation and their psychological crises primarily concern interpersonal issues.
For those who are of the approximate ages 18 -30, they are busy about sorting out who they are, how they fit into the world, what they believe, to whom and where they belong, and how they properly relate to society. Individuals carve out their development and their identities through a balance between internal information (self-esteem) and external information (interpersonal relationships). Because truth's value in postmodernism depends only upon internal factors and personal esteem, the world becomes a very adversarial place. Balance between internal and external information becomes skewed and distorted. The inherent psychological tasks of young adulthood become all the more intense and far more difficult, placing far more psychological pressure upon the individual, because everything rests solely on the individual's personal abilities and personal psychological integrity.When the modernist-minded older adult relates to the postmodernist in young adulthood, the demand to be genuine makes discernment a difficult business. Interpersonal relationships that are of intense concern to the young adult because of their age-related developmental challenges become terribly complicated. Those over 40 perceive truth as primarily objective, and discernment necessitates what young people perceive and disdain as "labeling." My husband always readily points out that this young adult aversion to being labeled is not always an aversion, but it concerns only negative labels. And I believe that the reciprocal is also true. Young people seem to demand positive affirmation and positive labels, another aspect of relating to young people that often challenges my own personal sense of truthfulness and genuineness. My husband describes this strange, postmodern twist on the golden rule ("Do unto others as you would have them do unto you") as a nearly impossible task: "Do unto others as those others would have you do unto them." Since truth rests in the perception of the individual, social etiquette seems to demand that I have foreknowledge and omniscience to really properly relate to others. Is this even possible?
In a recent Mars Hill Audio Journal, Ken Myers noted in an interview that author Tim Clydesdale describes what Myers called the foremost moral priority of "totalitarian niceness" among American teens in his book called "First Year Out: Understanding American Teens After High School." Most all other learning has been "distilled down into" a message that conveys that we should "be nice to other people," whether it is a moral issue or not. Teachers couch all information in terms of a "niceness" message. Clydesdale observes that young people become anxious about, distracted by, and overly preoccupied with how others perceive them, owing both to the spirit of the age as well as factors like immediate communication technology. He also notes that young people view all authority with great suspicion, and the young person's moral priorities maintain that they are the arbiter of what is right and permissible. He described that young people prefer a God that is more like a "golden retriever," a warm, cuddly companion that offers comfort as opposed to a God who serves as a standard of truth. I wonder if this "totalitarian niceness" and the "golden retriever" concept of God emerges as a coping mechanism to protect against the tender ego that is so fragile because postmodernism makes truth so intensely personal?
Unique Challenges
Young Christian adults, those under the age of thirty (born after 1978) face many unique challenges that generations who came before them did not face. Postmodernism affects how truth is validated and esteemed, the consequences of which are quite profound. Those who teach Christian truth must consider the problems inherent in the postmodern worldview and must recognize that pietistic separatism does not solve the dilemmas that the postmodern worldview presents. The worldview and culture predisposes believers to a weak and Existential Theism wherein the believer assigns value to God, unlike the Biblical Theist who derives meaning about objective truth from God's Word apart from and not contingent their own experience. The young believer must overcome this tendency, recognizing God's Word as authoritative without intimidation. And unfortunately, the perspective of those raised in a postmodern culture makes communication with the generations that preceded them especially problematic because of the differences between each generation concerning the value of truth. This "generation gap" also poses unique challenges for older adults and older Christians who ascribe to the objective truth of the Word of God, conceiving of it in an entirely different way than do their younger counterparts. May God give us grace and wisdom to master the task so we can find unity in love as opposed to uniformity through "totalitarian niceness."

It's hard to believe that summer is coming to an end. September is just around the corner and with that means the start up of school. Some children will be excited to return or start school and others may be a little apprehensive or afraid of the new routine. You'll want to make the adjustment of your child's return to school as smooth as possible. Or if you're an older student in high school or college you'll want to organize your self for an easy return to school. It doesn't take much to be organized by collecting and preparing supplies in advance. This can help ease anxiousness and make the transition from a relaxed summer to the entry of a new school year go smoothly.
Here are a few tips to help you out:
1) Start setting the clock a few minutes earlier the week before school to get yourself and or your children used to the early rise. Going to bed a few minutes earlier can help prepare kids too.
2) Eating breakfast regularly is a big deal. Just as cars run on fuel, your body needs energy and calories to function optimally. Be sure to have healthy choices for the kids in the morning and allow sufficient time for them to eat.
3) Set out backpacks and clothes the night before so you're not rushing around looking for socks or clean pants in the morning.
4) Prepare lunches or a portion of them the night before as well. Remember fruit, vegetables and protein for a healthy meal.
5) Ease anxiousness by allowing your child to help pick out a new back to school outfit to wear on the first day and maybe help choose some of those cool school supplies too. This can help kids get excited about the return to school.
Well hope you enjoyed these tips. As usual I've been working on new designs and creations for my store. Here are some cute samples from my store Designs by Shell. Come by for a browse…

Besakih is known as the Mother Temple of Bali. Besides being the most important temple for the whole of the island, another attraction of Besakih, actually a complex of temples, is its dramatic location on the southern slopes of Mount Agung, Bali's tallest mountain.
Like most major temples in Bali, the area surrounding Besakih is starting to take the shape of a small town, with many souvenir and eating shops.
Besakih is located in the eastern Bali regency of Karangasem.
Get in
By road
The usual way to get to Besakih is from Semarapura or better known by its old name Klungkung. Besakih is about 20km north of Klungkung and the road is winding at several stretches.
There is also a "back" road to Besakih from Kintamani and the hour-long drive is beautiful as you pass through forests, villages and fields as you move from the slopes of the Batur caldera to that of Mount Agung. The road meets the main Besakih-Klungkung road just before the entrance to Besakih.
If you are coming from the eastern end of the island, such as from Amed, Tirta Gangga or even Candidasa, you can also get to Besakih by taking a smaller inland road from Amlapura. The road goes through small villages like Selat and the Bukit Putung lookout, and meets the Besakih-Klungkung road at Rendang, where you turn north/right to head to Besakih.

ml-implode.com reports that according to the CBO, social security will run out money much sooner than projected even last year due to reduced payroll tax receipts:
"Last year, the CBO figured the surplus would be $80 billion this year and next, rising from those levels before falling to zero in about ten years. The most recent projections are for a slim $16 billion surplus this year and just $3 billion next year but, given the rosy predictions that usually come out of Washington, a deficit is certainly within the realm of possibilities.
This is bad. We were supposed to have until 2012 that Social Security would still be in a "surplus" — meaning more SS taxes were being taken in than outlays. Thus, Social Security would be contributing to the government's general operating revenue until that time (the Social Security money taken in is not segregated in any way — it is just "tracked" through the holding of Treasury Securities).
Apparently, that "lucky" state of affairs is all but over — now the fund will have to start selling off its trillion or so of accumulated Treasuries, contributing to the overall funding problem of the Federal Government, at the worst possible time.
The US is bankrupt, folks. Its time to acknowledge it and deal with it."
Rex Nutting at Dow Jones reports:
"Home values in 20 major U.S. cities fell at the fastest rate on record in January and are now down a record 19% in the 12 months ending in January.
The Case-Shiller index tracks repeat sales on the same properties over time, but it closely tracks only 20 cities, not the whole country.
A similar index from the Federal Housing Finance Agency released last week found prices rose 1.7% in January, the first increase in a year. The FHFA index tracks the whole country, but relies on data from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, so it missed most of purchases financed by subprime loans earlier in the decade."
It's beginning to be clear that we can have much less faith in the government's data releases.
The McKinsey Quarterly reports on the importance of growing household incomes to facilitate reducing the abnormal debt level (see chart below) without such drastic reductions in consumption.
"In short, the importance of income growth is difficult to overstate. With it, households can simultaneously reduce their debt burden, rebuild savings, and boost consumption. But without significant income gains, deleveraging could undermine consumption and the global economy for years to come. One implication: policy choices that favor productivity and employment growth—critical determinants of income growth—will make deleveraging less painful. Efficiency breakthroughs in sectors, such as health care and government, that employ large numbers of people—but that have not enjoyed productivity revolutions similar to those experienced in industries like retailing and wholesaling—would make a dramatic difference."
The problem is that in the current outlook there is not much opportunity for income growth for thenext 2 or 3 years. So… with the consumer's new need to save, consumption is cliff diving.
A friend, call him "Kit", works in Northern Louisiana building cabinets. He bids as a subcontractor on new housing, as well as remodeling projects. He told us today:
"I just don't understand it. I haven't seen it this bad since 1987. I just don't understand it! I talked to my friends at the banks. They say they are willing to lend money. Interest rates are low. Building supply prices are low. But nobody is doing anything. It's weird. I'm startin' to worry."
This time the low oil prices have crimped a big source of tax revenue for the state, but states like Louisiana usually don't grow as fast in good times, or fall as hard as other areas in the nation in bad times. But now, the housing collapse is beginning to be felt there too. Zero Hedge shows a report from Deutsche Bank that projects various MSA's home price declines. According to this report, the New Orleans area is due for about 27% additional fall in home prices before reaching bottom. We wanted to tell Kit the worst is over, but it's not. The truth is even if the interest rate for buying homes is zero, the expectation is that prices will fall. Until that expectation changes, home sales and home building will be slow in the Bayou state.
In a piece designed to contrast money center banks with regional banks, Institutional risk offers their opinion on the Fed's thinking:
"No wonder that Fed Chairman Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner persist in their idiotic position that toxic subprime assets have true "values" of 80% of par. As we told the clients of IRA's institutional advisory service earlier this week:
"Based on our projections and channel checks, we think that maybe the Fed staff got it wrong and put down the likely loss rate instead of the fanciful LT recovery rate embraced by Bernanke, Geithner and Summers. Truth is, the LT recovery or "Loss Given Default" (LGD) rate experience of 20-30% (which are the LT LGD rates used by Moody's, S&P for internal loss rate projections) are holding true in this cycle as in previous economic downturns and may actually be optimistic compared with the actual realized loss."
With most of the RES and CRE collateral we see in the channel trading in the 30s, it is only a matter of time before the markets force Bernanke, Geithner and Summers to abandon their desire to subsidize the large, insolvent banks and finally embrace liquidation. "
FT published its "exclusive interview" with President Obama today. The interview of the "much like FDR" portrays the President as one who, in comparison to his predecessors, "conveys a degree of pragmatism" and "modulated phrasing" and who has a good chance to succeed in uniting the world at "the most important world economic gathering in decades":
"Many believe that the G20 summit will prove a vacuous waste of time and that the world economy will continue to be sucked into the recessionary vortex. Mr Obama, however, projects a Zen-like calm towards the emergencies that he faces. If his rescue operations fail to arrest the tide, history may show him to have been too unfazed. If things started to stabilise and improve, Mr Obama could be hailed as the new FDR."
In his FT opinion piece on March 26, Alan Greenspan writes of the need for a better cushion against risk. Naked Capitalism accuses Greenspan of both disengeuousness and errors of fact in his piece. Yet, Greenspan's estimates for new capital needed at the money center banks are interesting and except at RGE Monitor, have received little attention:
"I believe that recent risk spreads suggest that markets require perhaps 13 or 14 per cent capital (up from 10 per cent) before US banks are likely to lend freely again.
Analysis of the US consolidated bank balance sheet suggests a potential loss of at least $1,000bn out of the more than $12,000bn of US commercial bank assets at original book value.
Through the end of 2008, approximately $500bn had been written off, leaving an additional $500bn yet to be recognised. But funding the latter $500bn will not be enough to foster normal lending if investors in the liabilities of banks require, as I suspect, an additional 3-4 percentage points of cushion in their equity capital-to-asset ratios. The overall need appears to be north of $850bn. Some is being replenished by increased bank cash flow. A turnround of global equity prices could deliver a far larger part of those needs. Still, a deep hole must be filled, probably with sovereign US Treasury credits."
Given his assertion that 13-14% equity is required and even with the current program of raiding AIG (make that taxpayer) assets to fund the banks, Greenspan, conservatively estimates a need for $850B. This level of capital will need congressional approval as we don't believe the Geithner gansters can fund it by the shenanigan pipeline. Greenspan's estimate is also with writedowns as they are now. Greenspan makes no mention of it, but obviously his estimate is before the coming commercial mortgage and credit card tsunami, or any further writedowns in existing assets necessitated by the Geithner plan. Another item he ignores is the possibility of having to bring shaddow assets back onto the banks' balance sheets. If this is required, even more capital will be required.
In a guest post at Naked capitalism, Tyler Durden, publisher of Zero Hedge, builds on his breaking story that AIG sold securities (unwinding large portfolios of CDS's) at ridiculously low prices to the money center banks so the banks could make those much ballyhooed assertions of profits in January and February which sparked a rally in bank stocks. Approximately $1 to 2 billion per bank was made on these shenanigans. This conspiracy is clearly undertaken with the full knowledge of the Obama Administration. If this is confirmed by other sources, there should be resignations and prosecutions over this…
Businessinsider.com recently wrote about the New York Post article documenting Citigroup and Bank of America's recent purchase of Alt-A and ARM mortgage backed securities in anticipation of the public/private partnerships bidding to buy similar assets from such banks:
"This raises serious questions about how the banks are using TARP funds. Instead of stimulating the economy by making new loans, B of A and Citi seem to be spending money to buy up old loans. That's probably a bet that the Geithner plan will create renewed demand for MBS."
Mike Whitney at Global Research assumes the worst – that the banks are betting they will get a higher price when the Geithner plan is implemented:
"Thus begins the next taxpayer-subsidized feeding frenzy featuring all the usual suspects. The race is on to vacuum up as much toxic mortgage paper as possible so it can be dumped on Uncle Sam at a hefty profit. Nice. These are the same miscreants the Obama administration is so dead-set on rescuing. It's crazy to try to help people who use the cover of a financial crisis to fatten their own bottom line. It's better to let them sink from their own bad bets.
How is it that industry rep Geithner couldn't see that his latest round of corporate welfare would create incentives for the bank scoundrels to game the system again? Naturally, if the government goes into the business of buying crap-loans from teetering financial institutions, the speculators and snake oil salesmen will follow. And so they have. Citi and B of A are just the first to respond to Geithner's pigwhistle. Next will be the hedgies and the Private Equity porkers, all nuzzling up to the Treasury's burgeoning feedbin hoping to sink their teeth into whatever tasty nuggets bob to the top of the trough."
Regardless of their deeper motivations, there is another, simpler message in the bank's recent actions to buy these assets – The banks simply believe them to be cheap. What is the take away for the PIMCO's, Blackrocks's and the others bellying up to the Treasury's free money feedbin? The banks are telling them they will have to pay more than what the banks just paid…likely a price closer to the price the banks are carrying similar assets on their books. Are they worth what the banks will be asking for them because they have special cheap financing from the government on a non-recourse basis? One might say "yes" due to the special financing. But wait not so fast! The banks have special financing too. What if the banks bought a few extra of these type of assets just so they could sell those (and only those) back to the partnerships? This does nothing really for the bank's balance sheets, but … it would provide some example transactions that Geithner and company could point to so that the program could be called a success.
So…after Pandit and other bank executives blatantly manipulated their stock price by commenting about how they "made money" in January and February, now they start backpeddling. Here's a sheepish Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan with Erin Burnett (about minute 6:40) on CNBC after the Bank Oligopoly's meeting with the president to plan future cheer leading activities:

And now the caveats. Most so-called gurus wouldn't tell you this upfront, but I only want you to get this if you know everything there is to know, so here we go.
1. This method works in any niche, but it works better in some than in others. In some niches I can only get 50-100 clicks a day at that price, while in others, I can get thousands…
2. Since not all campaigns produce as much, you need to be willing to try more than one so you can get the massive traffic rush I've described.
3. These types of campaigns tend to take a few days to get approved. Regular Adwords campaigns often go live in a matter of hours, these usually takes 2-3 days to start seeing traffic.
4. You need to use larger keyword groups than in regular Adwords, meaning less set up time, but also slightly less targeting possibilities, since you might point a huge amount of keywords to the same landing page.
There, that's it. If you can live with those tiny extra notices, then you're ready to jump onto the biggest and most reliable source of traffic in the world with an industrial shovel, even if you have a shoestring budget!

If you're planning on traveling this winter, chances are your vacation planning is in full swing. TripAdvisor recently wrote a piece on how to find the best deals in Ski Country this winter. Here are some of their tips:
· Look for early season/late season deals and discounts – even though some of the biggest discounts were available in August (plan for next year!), you can still find great deals out there. Keep checking our Ski and Stay Packages page for the best options for you, and lock in your rates by November 20 th for the best deal.
· Book your trip during non-peak times – Wendy from TripAdvisor recommends traveling in early January, something we agree with. But throughout the season, you can find some of the best deals if you travel Sunday through Thursday. And while we generally boast uncrowded slopes and lift lines, mid-week practically guarantees you'll have at least a few runs to yourself.

Maine Gov. LePage offers help to help restore ferry service to Nova Scotia
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Maine Gov. Paul LePage says the state is offering marketing assistance and help securing an operating line of credit to re-establish ferry service to Nova Scotia.
The Nova Scotia government has selected a Maine company, STM Quest, to run the service. And it's offering $21 million in subsidies over seven years to help.
LePage and Nova Scotia's economic development minister, Graham Steele, met Wednesday at the Ocean Gateway in Portland to discuss the service.
The ferry service is proposed to begin next spring using a new 528-foot ship that has capacity for 1,250 passengers and 300 cars and trucks.

if you are looking for a fitness-friendly social media network, look no further than foursquare! For whatever reason(s), foursquare has embraced the fitness community, and I am glad to see this. As an avid gym rat and fitness fanatic, it pleases me to see that foursquare has gone a bit further to support healthy living. Foursquare does this in three primary ways, mayorships, points, and badges!
As most of us know, the person who checks into a venue the most [number of days] within a [rolling] 60 days period is considered to be the mayor of that venue! If you have a few fitness fanatics who are also foursquare fanatics at your gym (like we have at my gym), you will soon find yourself in a friendly battle for the mayorship of your gym. On those days where you do not feel like going to the gym, maintaining or earning your gym's foursquare mayorship can help boost your motivation to get off the couch and hit the gym! I know that it does for me!
Maybe not quite as cool as a mayorship, some people really like to have more points than their friends. When you go to a venue every month, every week, or every day, you have a greater chance to earn bonus points, which will help you jump up the leaderboard! So, checking into the gym more frequently will earn you additional points and possibly bragging rights.
If you love badges, foursquare has a bunch of healthy-living related badges for you to earn today. First, if you go to the gym ten times or more in a 30 day period, you earn the highly-coveted gym rat badge! If you want more badges, you are in luck. Join Health Month, link up your account with foursquare, and you can earn an additional badge each month based on the health and fitness goals that you set for yourself. If you keep track of your workouts using RunKeeper, be sure to link your profile with foursquare and earn badges for completing different cardio workouts! Lastly, if you have a fitbit, now is the time to connect it with foursquare and earn even more badges! Currently, they have two partner badges with foursquare!
The Fitbit
I have had my Fitbit since right before Valentine's Day! It really is a cool gadget that helps me keep track of how many steps I walk each day, and helps me figure out how many floors I have walked up and down, how many overall miles I have walked, how well I am sleeping, and how many calories I burn each day. Like I said above, they offer two foursquare badges, one for when I take 20,000 or more steps in a given day and one for when I surpass 1,000 total miles. I only found out about the fitbit because of foursquare and these badges, and I am now using this device and foursquare to help keep me motivated each day! Just yesterday and in an effort to earn my 20k badge, Elaine, Jamie, and I took their dog up to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park for about four hours of hiking up and down the mountain. When I was low on water or energy, I remembered that my goal was to surpass 20,000 steps that day, so I pushed on. It is amazing how a simple badge can motivate you.
Winning Combination
Together, foursquare and fitbit really make a winning combination. Because of the two, I am living a highly-motivated, healthier lifestyle. The great news is that you can do the same! As we approach 4sqDay, take the time to earn some fitness badges!
Everyone who has been to the Foursquare site saw the new map used to show venues.
And most people hated it! Even more Brazilian users because the maps are similar to Silent Hill! There is nothing on most of our cities! Just the name of the city and nothing more!
Only few capitals have maps with streets and avenues! I really prefer Google maps as Foursquare's map based system.
The question is: why? Why did they change?
I don't know the answer but I know something – Google is trying to make a copy of Foursquare! And this could be a reason for this. They can pressuring and elevating prices for Google Maps' use.
Last week Google launched Leaderboard. It came with an Android actualization for Google maps and it is released when you make check-in with Latitude.
You win points with the check-in and there is a ranking of your friends. Ah, there is more: the person with the highest point total wins a crown! Google is trying to make a fake Foursquare! Awful!
Look at this print screen to see it with your own eyes!
This past Sunday, my Baltimore Ravens took on the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional round in the National Football League. I was quickly reminded by fellow writer Nicole (@googleismybf), that she the Community Manager of @foursquareHOU. With a little smack talk during the week I decided to step it up and incorperate foursquare into a bet.
I asked Nicole to put a mayorship on the line. If you lose, you have to let someone else take over the venue as mayor. But that wasn't the end of it. You had to wait 3 days before checking back in to try to regain the mayorship. That means this person now has 4 days over the previous mayor. Personally, I think that is quite a hill to climb back up.
In a hard fought battle, the Ravens won.
Nicole ended up conceding her work mayorship. I'd say that was a smart call on her end. She probably can earn back her mayor position before the end of the month. TopSpot Internet Marketing is now ruled by John V [at the time of this writing].
Thanks for the bet, Nicole. It was exciting to put something on the line and have the potential to lose it, and eventually earn it back.
Have you ever bet anything on foursquare? "I bet I can get 5 people to do my tip before they do your tip" What are other creative bets the can be used in foursquare?
Oh foursquare, in 2011 you were so good to us; you gave us explore, lists, a whole new website, and much more! Perhaps as we make resolutions to get fit, eat well, and travel, we should also make foursquare resolutions. What's a foursquare resolution? Just a commitment to give back to or enhance the foursquare experience. Some ideas:
- Contribute to Tip Tuesday, and write a tip every single week (this week's can be late, I'll allow it)
- Vow to create (and continue to add) to x amount of lists
- Become a superuser if you're not, or upgrade to a SU2
- If you're a student, become a University campus ambassador
- Find one venue every day to merge/edit according to the style guide
- Start a foursquare community
- Apply for your city to get a foursquare badge
- Make a snoball using foursquare check-ins and donate funds to charity
- Build something cool with the API
- and of course, start planning for 4sqDay 2012 now
My resolution:
In a my role as community manager of Foursquare Houston, I'm going to attempt to conquer one of our foursquare community's greatest weaknesses: a lack of local business specials. I want to sign up a business for a special every week. My hope is that 52 local foursquare specials will beget more specials. It may seem a bit lofty, but I'm going to give it a shot. If you share this problem, I would encourage you to try this too.
Are you going to make a foursquare resolution for 2012? Do you have more suggestions?

Social media marketing or SMM, as it is commonly referred to, is a powerful way to conveniently create new leads and powerfully enhance your overall ROI. However, it could be quite difficult to wrap your head around a comprehensive strategy, mainly because there is seemingly a tremendous amount of them.
Being able to see through what works and what not isn't something that you ought to be capable of. The truth is that in this field, it's a lot of trying and a lot mistakes until you find the right path. This is what you need to consider. With this in mind, below you will find a few things to take into account when it comes to SMM.
Do Not Ignore Snapchat
Snapchat is a tremendous, 100-million user infinity pool of potential customers. Over 10 billion snaps are send every single day. This is something that you are obligated to capitalize on if you want to actively reach out to your customer base. By establishing your personalized Snap stories as well as convenient geo filters, you will be more capable of tapping into this tremendously infinite audience.
A comprehensive Geo filter is going to cost you as little as $5. This is a perfectly engaging and interactive tool to reach out to your audience and it is relatively cheap.
Snap stories, on the other hand, would allow you to show photos as well as videos who are following you on your social platform. It's as easy as that.
Targeted Audiences on Facebook
We truly wanted to save the best for last but it can't really wait. Facebook, for obvious reasons, is your go-to social media marketing platform. With billions of active users and a tremendously long average time spent on a per-day basis, it's no wonder that this is the platform that the majority of people are actively willing to advertise on. Every corporation is present on Facebook and that's for a good reason.
Now, Facebook has introduced the so called Ad Manager tool which is going to be particularly helpful, provided you take proper advantage of it. It is going to enable you to create specifically targeted audiences based on criteria that you input. This is the beauty of it as it would allow you to easily navigate your campaign as well as to control its budget.
Furthermore, there is the Facebook's Life Events feature which is going to enable you to let people know about a significant change in your life by adding it conveniently to your timeline. So, for instance, if you want to capitalize on your current business, putting a status about it is a good idea. You can do so when you reach corporate milestones, release new product lines and others of the kind.
What is more, you can also target different people based on a variety of interesting factors, including recent behavior, relationship status, education level, interests, estimated income and a whole lot more. If you use these types of filters, you'd be able to comprehensively narrow down your overall audience to those who are actually interested in what you have to offer. Not only will this increase your overall ROI but it would proactively reduce the costs associated with your Facebook advertising.
Using Customized Hashtags
The intended use of hashtags is to enable people to find content based on different sets of categories. However, customized hashtags could be a very powerful way to get people interested in what you have to offer. What is more, it could be a trendy way of encouraging them to actively share your content. The best thing is that you can easily use the same hashtag throughout a range of different social media platforms.
Let us give you a quick example. Back in 2015, Marvel created an interesting, Halloween-themed hashtag called #MarvelHalloween. Hundreds of people started using this hashtag during Halloween alongside their own pictures in costumes of Marvel heroes. Not only is this a tremendous amount of absolutely free and high-value advertising for Marvel, but it's also a particularly effective way to foster serious consumer engagement.
Google Posts
Even though this is something that we waited for quite a lot of time, Google Posts is already available for smaller companies. Their content is going to appear on the maps results and in the Google Search. This is actually huge when it comes to it.
Small businesses that use the GMB platform (Google My Business) would benefit significantly. You would be given the chance to write a text, add an event title or upload an image when you write your post. This is something quite interactive.
Now, it's obvious that social media marketing in all of its beauty can foster serious results. However, most of them would require serious investment until they can reach the point of automation and organic growth without any further cash flow.
This is something that not all small business owners can afford. There is a cost-effective yet lengthier process which would enable you to achieve serious organic outreach and engage people who are actively looking for you and what you have to offer. Comprehensive SEO is by far the most effective manner of increasing your traffic and customer base without constantly funneling money towards it. Sure, there is a serious investment at first but once you get the results, all you have to do is sustain them and this is far cheaper than active SMM. Of course, the latter should be carried out systematically and in parallel and it could seriously complement your overall results. However, prioritizing the most effective option should be your go-to choice.
Relying on a professional is completely out of the question as there is no other way to achieve anything. DIY try-hard attempts are ineffective or they will take a tremendous amount of time, wasted resources and effort that you could have spent better on something else – keep this in mind.

No, that's certainly the general idea. The issue for an imperative language like Python is that side-effects are the norm, rather than an exception. The Haskell implementation of the idea effectively relies on the fact that in Haskell you have to jump through monadic hoops to get side effects, so if you have a low-level transactional memory facility, you can create monadic combinators that restrict those side effects to occuring in the way you want them to. This is so utterly alien to Python's execution model - or indeed most imperative languages' execution models - that I don't see how it can be modelled in Python in a way that retains the significant benefits of the approach. Now, in PyPy, I suppose it might be possible to create a custom object-space that works that way, and I hadn't thought of that before. Maybe you should run that paper past one of the PyPy wizards and see if you can get them interested in the idea, then stand back and see what happens. :) >The one thing about this paper is that it seems to be an orthogonal >perspective to anything about concurrency that *I* have seen before. Yes - it's dramatically different, and seems like the One True Way to do imperative concurrency with side-effects. Certainly transactions work nicely for databases, anyway. :) >So with concurrency, I would like to know when I do something wrong, >but if I am told at runtime that's OK with me as long as I'm told. Yeah, but in current Python implementations - with the possible exception of PyPY - detecting the problem at all is virtually impossible. PyPy is an extensible VM, though, so in principle you could create some kind of transactional object space that could keep track of things and tell you if you mess up.

SebaSM Comics are still Vancouver-themed this week, focusing on the nature side of things… Click the images to see this week's updates!

SebaSM Comics Digest, Week of Mar. 30th
The 100th SebaSM Comic went up on Tuesday this week, kicking off a bit of catch up on my trip to Vancouver! Click here to start with this milestone comic! 😉
Pearl Fishing
Well, I'm back from Vancouver, but on one of my last days there I saw a work-in-progress dance performance by local company 605 Collective at the Vancouver International Dance Festival. which I enjoyed, but after a mostly electronic soundtrack, I was surprised that the piece ended to the tune of Enrico Caruso singing this aria from Bizet's 1863 Pearl Fishers opera:
Probably the best known piece from this opera, but if you want to see the full picture, it'll be receiving its first Met Opera production in 100 years in the forthcoming 2015-2016 season:
Vancouver Mountain Majesty
Since I'm in Vancouver for the week, I've been thinking about my favorite Vancouverite cartoonist, Angela Melick of Wasted Talent!
This is kind of like New York last week, nasty winter suddenly giving way to mild spring… Though we don't have the same sort of majestic natural setting… One stereotype I've formed about Vancouver thanks to Angela is the importance of extreme outdoor sports… so will bust out my hiking boots! Or walking boots at least…
Maybe she's the only Vancouverite cartoonist I know, actually… But you can see her depiction of her town by looking through her Vancouver tag!
Putting the Canadian in Canadian Opera Company
So I'm in Vancouver, Canada for a week, and considering the last opera I saw was the Canadian Opera Company's performance of Semele at BAM last week it seems fitting to discuss their forthcoming season, which, fittingly, features the world premiere of a Canadian Opera!
In October, COC will give the world premiere of Barbara Monk Feldman's short 2010 opera, Pyramus and Thisbe. It's based on a tale from antiquity so the COC is presenting it alongside two short, similarly classically themed, pieces by the grandfather of opera, Claudio Monteverdi: a scena for three voices and an aria, which is the only fragment to survive from his second opera, L'Arianna, performed below by Italian soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci:
Here's hoping I can make a return trip to Canada for this interesting early opera/premiere opera combo!
Live-in Library
Who doesn't want to be surrounded by books they love? Actually, I've recently been meaning to minimize the books in my life… Library card for infinite free borrowed books, not picking up free books even though librarians are free book magnets, etc… But I get Angela Melick's obsession… books are excellent decoration if nothing else! 😉
Sleeping Betty nel Bosco
From The National Film Board of Canada, here's a fun take on the story of Sleeping Beauty by director Claude Cloutier:

You can find lots of full films from throughout their history up on the NFB site (you can limit it to animation too, if you're so inclined).
To offer an operatic counterpart, here's the opening of Ottorino Respighi's 1922 opera, La Bella Dormente nel Bosco (available in full on Spotify too).[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJGEAhDqaRU&w=350&h=300]
It was actually performed in 2005 by New York's Gotham Chamber Opera in conjunction with Lincoln Center Festival and puppets by Basil Twist, as seen below. Both the GCO & LCF have exciting events coming up this summer, so check them out. audio

While there are plenty of Jerusalem
museums to choose from, most visitors to the city have time limitations. On this page I list and describe the few top Jerusalem museums I feel should not be missed while visiting the city:
This museum is a must. It hosts the world famous Dead Sea Scrolls, which are the oldest biblical manuscripts in the world. In addition, you can find a model of Jerusalem as it stood in the period of the second temple (before 66 CE).
Elsewhere in the 20-acre campus, you can enjoy one of the best sculpture gardens in the world, with famous names like Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin, James Turrell and many others. And if that's not enough, there are at least ten other exhibits at any given time. Enjoy.
The Museum is located in Jerusalem on Ruppin Boulevard, near the Knesset (Israeli Parliament).
I will tell you upfront that visiting this museum is not an easy
experience at all. Yad Vashem, the Hebrew for memorial and a name, was
built in order to document the history of the Jewish people during the
Holocaust period.
In the exhibits you can learn all about the crimes of Nazi Germany during World War II against the Jewish people. The museum documents each and every one of the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
I'm sure that visiting this museum will leave quite an impression on you as a human being. So please take the time and visit there.

A busy hum of activity in the classroom can be observed as the children manipulate the materials, become independent and develop at their own pace.

Sadaar Bazaar and Saturation Point @ The Cube, Bristol - Thursday December 20th
This was a rare pleasure, as Sadaar Bazaar are one of Bristol's more allusive acts. Coloured gel projections transported you back to 1967 as the sitar psychedelically slipped through the subtle keyboards that added modular swirls and rococo flourishes to its distinctive twang. Cymbal shimmer and loose drums fell around the flowing liquid shapes, complimented by some great guitar work tinged in country slide and blues inclinations. At one point, the drummer, taking a break from his vocation added some lovely mouth organ smears to the mix – oh this was a magical lightly brushed touch. Their music was full of giddy colour and controlled expansion, leaving my head nodding like a little Buddha dolly – apparently there's a new album out in the New Year folks - can't wait.
Saturation Point were a post rock Bristol outfit with a heavy effects driven canvas, featuring a drummer (Ted Milton look-a-like) who seemed totally possessed as he smashed into both metal and skin with a solid blur of activity. Chiselled Sigur Ros type guitar oscillations flowed over the sometime tumbling bass, while light bongos were drowned out by a pounded drum kit. The soundscape was a wide aperture filled up to the brim, that grew in intensity melding into heavy 'gilded eternity' territory with a 'flat fields' chaser - A fabulous end to the year.

As provincial government revenues stagnate with the sluggish economy, provinces are turning their eye to hospitals as a very obvious target for reductions in spending growth. Provinces spend more than $60 billion a year on hospitals — about $7.7 billion in B.C. — which is more than they spend on many of their entire ministries.
Right now, most of this money flows to hospitals with few strings attached. Changes are underway to hospital funding pathways, however, to try and ensure that we get good value for that money.
The most recent data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information points to marked variation between hospitals in what this money buys. For example, a hospitalization for a hip replacement in one hospital can cost in excess of 50 per cent more than other hospitals in the same province.
The public should care about this, since large differences in spending between hospitals for the same type of care imply that there is potential for governments to cut spending. If hospital A can do hip replacements for $5,000 per patient, why are we paying hospital B $8,000 per patient? If governments can find ways to bring hospital B's costs closer to $5,000, the hospital has become more efficient and government spends less.
Every year, provinces give hospitals a fixed percentage increase to their budget from the previous year. This across-the-board increase, similar to a cost-of-living increase, is intended to reflect increasing input costs, such as wage increases and new technologies and drugs. Over the past half-decade, these annual increases have been in the neighbourhood of five per cent.
This type of budgeting and incentive structure rewards all hospitals with new funding equally. Perpetuating across-the-board increases provides little motivation for inefficient hospitals to change the way they operate.
Ontario and B.C. are starting to change the way they fund hospitals. For the past few years, both provinces have directed hundreds of millions of dollars to hospitals as an incentive to perform more surgeries by tying funding to a fixed price per surgery. Hospitals that can perform surgeries at or below that price will generate free cash flow. Hospitals whose costs per surgery are higher quickly realize that they are receiving smaller increases than their more cost-efficient peers.
Some hospitals can't compete on cost-efficiency alone. Hospital spending data shows that it costs more to operate hospitals in small and isolated communities than in urban centres.
Ontario and B.C. are hoping that their new hospital-funding initiatives won't close hospitals or undermine quality, but will instead put financial pressure on inefficient hospitals to change their management practices.
It's not all about saving money.
Every opportunity to improve the safety and quality of hospital care should be seized. Government regulations can be vigilantly monitored to ensure hospitals are meeting acceptable standards of safety. Meeting such standards could also be tied to new hospital funding.
Another idea is to measure quality from the perspective of the patient. The experiences of patients at the hospital and changes in their quality-of-life after surgery should be tracked. Too often, provinces are choosing hip and knee replacements without considering other surgeries and procedures.
The value we get for the money we spend on hospital care can be improved by changing the way we spend that money. Perpetually distributing lump sums to hospitals with few strings attached can no longer be excused in the current economic climate.
While change won't be easy, it's good that Ontario and B.C. are leading the way. Other provinces will follow.

Juniors' Dresses
For the young and young at heart, the juniors' section is the best place to shop for women's dresses—starting with the wide assortment available at thredUP. Find your thrill shopping for your favorite brands at up to 90% off estimated retail.
Who Can Wear Juniors' Dresses?
Many stores now include a juniors' section, so you're probably already familiar with the term. However, defining junior sizes can be a bit trickier because there is some overlap. For instance, those who wear a 14 or 16 in girls' clothing can often shop in the juniors' section as well. Similarly, women on the lower end of the misses or women's sizing spectrum may still fit into juniors' clothing. What really sets juniors' clothing apart is the fit (less room in the waist and bust than women's clothing) and style (more grown-up than girls' clothing).
Although juniors' clothing is designed primarily for tweens and teens, both younger girls and older women often find themselves at home in this section. After all, age isn't a size. You'll notice, however, that unlike other categories, junior clothing uses an odd-numbered sizing system. The general rule is to size one number down from what you wear in women's or misses.
Popular Brands and Styles
Several of the most popular designers of girls' and women's dresses have expanded into junior sizes, and these are in addition to brands that specialize in clothing for teens and tweens. That means you'll have plenty of options when shopping for juniors' dresses. Lush, Minuet, Guess Jeans, Un Deux Trois, Express, and PINK Republic all offer stylish little black dresses for juniors—and the list goes on. Other popular brands include Charlotte Russe, American Rag, Bebop, Double Zero, Rampage, Roxy, Hollister, and XOXO.
Because of the target demographic, junior styles change frequently. Fortunately, you can easily change the look of a dress by wearing it different ways. Throw a jacket over a contoured dress for a more casual look or use a belt to make a looser dress look more fitted. Make dresses more practical for fall and winter by adding leggings and an infinity scarf. Long vests, booties, heels, statement necklaces—a variety of accessories can be paired with different styles to make several distinct outfits from a single dress.
Get It First at thredUP
Whether you want to browse little black dresses for juniors or find an airy sundress for summer, thredUP has what you're looking for. If you find something you like, don't wait! Each piece in our inventory is one of a kind, so there's no guarantee it will still be available later. Fortunately, if you do miss out, you can check back later for new options. Our selection changes daily as new pieces are sold or received.
No matter what you choose, you'll never have to worry about quality. At thredUP, we maintain high standards, accepting only gently-worn, like-new clothing. We also offer quick shipping and prices that are up to 90% off estimated retail—which means you can update your wardrobe as often as you'd like!
