Do you hear it?
Probably not. Let me guess. You're too busy typing, listening to music, pinning, updating your Facebook page, tweeting, or doing a Google search right?
I know the feeling. It's been a great distractor for me too.
How Important is Social Media, etc.?
The thing is the farther we are from hearing our own voice, the greater the ocean between us and where we want to be.
The thing is the secret of living your purpose has little to do with all the stuff out there-the how-to articles, the get rich schemes, the social media strategies, etc.
But I get sucked into their trap too. I forget that all the knowledge that's out there can only do so much. I forget that living my purpose is more about doing the inner work than anything in the physical world that I need to do.
My job in life isn't to please others. It isn't to figure out what I'm doing wrong so I can live right. The single purpose of my life is to be true to myself.
It is to listen to the little voice inside of me that says:
I'm on the right track
I'm hanging around the right people
I'm following the direction toward my purpose.
In The Purpose of Your Life, one of the people author Carol Adrienne interviews is gem artist Glen Lehrer. In it Lehrer shares a gem of advice on his journey to live his purpose:
"The pursuit of my purpose has not always been easy. There were times when things were so bad I went out and sole encyclopedias and waited tables. Sometimes you can't see where you are going. When you don't feel the world is supporting your efforts, you have to reach back to your life purpose, and remind yourself how far you've learned to survive so far."
It's scary living on the edge isn't it?
But it's much scarier sitting in a valley without any hope that life will be any different today than the one before.
The key to continue living in that nice spot where challenge and purpose meet is to spend as many moments as you can in silence. It's sitting in quiet and asking the right questions.
There will be times when you won't hear any answers, but criticism and self-doubt. But if you keep at it, there will be a stronger voice that with certainty says, "You're on the right path. Keep going."
And if you don't hear it, you'll feel it in your stomach, in the lightness of your chest, in the peace that surrounds your decision, whatever it may be.
Life isn't easy. It was never meant to be. But if you can stay still, focused and serene while you're enduring the wave of fear and insecurity, you will eventually move softly to the other side.
That I know for sure.

text: 'Client,' 'Sleepers' Actor Brad Renfro Dies Trouble Actor Found Dead at Home; Former Lawyer: 'We All Failed' By JACOB ADELMAN, AP Posted: 2008-01-16 13:52:59 Filed Under: Star Obituaries, Movie News LOS ANGELES (Jan. 16) - Brad Renfro was a street-smart Tennessee schoolboy plucked from obscurity in 1993 to play the title role in "The Client." The film's success brought him instant stardom, but struggles with drugs and alcohol dogged his career. On Tuesday, he was found dead in his home. He was 25. Brad Renfro's body was discovered in his Los Angeles home by his girlfriend. The police to not expect foul play in the 25-year-old actor's death. The cause of death was not immediately determined, said Craig Harvey, chief investigator for the Los Angeles County coroner's office. An autopsy was planned. Renfro's former lawyer has spoken out, saying the news left her in tears. Blair Berk, who worked for a time as Renfro's defense attorney, tells PEOPLE that there's something particularly tragic and disturbing about the talented actor's death at such a young age. "As critical and prescient as you become in this town, all I did was cry when I heard the news," Berk says. "I feel in some respects like we all failed." In "The Client," based on a John Grisham best-seller, he played a youngster who witnesses a suicide and gets caught up in a mob investigation. Susan Sarandon was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the lawyer the boy hires to help protect him. Director Joel Schumacher wanted an unknown for the role. "I didn't want to use one of those pretty kid faces the audience would be instantly familiar with," the director said when the film came out. "I want a real wise-ass, a kid who nobody would know." A Knoxville police officer who worked to educate children about drugs told a casting director about Renfro, whom he had seen in an anti-drug skit. That led to an audition and Renfro was chosen for the part. "I'm definitely going to film school," the boy said when "The Client" came out. "I want to be like Joel." Renfro followed up with major parts in the 1995 AIDS drama "The Cure," the 1997 "Sleepers," and "Telling Lies in America," also 1997. More recent credits included "Ghost World," 2001; "Deuces Wild," 2002; and "The Jacket," 2005. But he was arrested numerous times over the past decade. The actor served 10 days in jail in 2006 after pleading no contest to driving while intoxicated and guilty to attempted possession of heroin. The latter charge stemmed from his arrest in Los Angeles' Skid Row area, when he attempted to buy the drug from an undercover officer.

One routine I establish is the Backpack Tub. I saw this in one of my colleague's classrooms last year, and knew it would help organize my morning routine. I place this tub on the book case right next to my classroom door. As students hang up their backpacks and unpack their gear, they can drop off notes, art work, signed papers, homework folders, and anything else they have for me. I love that I can start my day without misplacing anything important (hopefully). Once my students get going on their morning work, I take attendance and sift through the backpack tub.

I've been interested in astonomy my whole life, and a few years back, I got a second-hand Meade LX-10 telescope. This is a 8″ diameter scope… definitely not a toy. It is great for planetary viewing and can even track the planets as the Earth turns. I have used it from time to time to try to take some pictures of celestial objects, but not very good ones. Astrophotography is a growing interest of mine now and I found the learning curve quite steep. I'm throwing together everything I've learned over the past couple of years including links to software and such into a few posts. There are multiple steps involved in this project and it took me a long time, working here and there and amongst about 1000 other projects, to finally get everything together for this.
To take amazing amateur astrophotography images you need to decide whether you want to look at deep space objects (DSO) like galaxies or nebulae, or if you want to focus on planetary viewing (within our own solar system). You don't really want to zoom very much if you want DSO images because zooming narrows your field of view and most DSOs you want to get are very dim so you don't want to zoom in to make their light spread out across your eye or camera sensor too much, you want bright pictures. You can take some amazingly cool pictures with just a DSLR and a "barn door" tracker. (This is just a device that rotates counter to the Earth's rotation so your camera will continue pointing at the same object for minutes or hours at a time, meaning it moves a full 360 degrees in 24 hours).
In my case, I want to do a little of both planetary and DSO. So I have my LX-10 telescope, which has an 8″ diameter mirror, meaning it can collect a lot of light, and it has a tracker so I can point a camera at one point in the sky as long as I want. However, unless you perfectly align the scope with true celestial north, the scope will still drift a bit over the night. This is because it is an open control system. You just point it at a star, turn it on and hope you aligned it well when you started. The best images are taken with closed-loop control systems. That is, they continuously look to see if it is drifting off target, then takes actions to move back on target when needed. This guy has my telescope and has taken some amazing pictures of planets, sunspots, and DSOs. Some are mindlbowingly good! To be fair, he's using some reducer lenses like this one to change his F-stop to make it much quicker (for example F/3.75 and F/4.6 in some images), oh and he's using a 4x Powermate lens a lot which costs as much as I spent on my entire telescope… But what is great about his site is that he tells all the settings he used for the images. This is similar to Reddit's astrophotography subreddit.
My scope is what they call "slow," "long," or "dark." This refers to the F-stop number. This is also called the focal ratio or relative aperture. It is a ratio of the len's focal length and the diameter of the scope. THe focal length of my telescope is 2000mm. And the aperture is 8″ or 203mm. The F-stop of this would be about 2000mm / 200mm = 10. So this means my scope is a F/10 lens. The higher the f-stop number is, the darker the image will be (all other things being equal) when compared to a lens with a smaller f-stop number. For example an F/4 is considered a pretty "fast" telescope. My F/10 number basically means that to take a nice bright picture of Jupiter for instance, I need to play with the "sensitivity" or ISO number of the camera sensor (used to be film) as well as the duration I leave the shutter open on the camera.
You might say, "Well I can just crank up the sensitivity then. Higher sensitivity will make the image come out brighter, right?" The answer is yes and no. You can raise the sensitivity, but then a lot of other things (such as heat) can trigger a pixel to register a value in a digital camera. This will increase the noise in the image, making it staticy.
You might then think "Ok, the other option is to just open the shutter for a long time, exposing the camera sensor to more light over a longer time period." yeah… not really. This can work as well, however you will increase the overall light pollution in your images and worse, you risk blurring the image. Since the Earth keeps on spinning, objects in a fixed telescope's field of view move. Without tracking perfectly, long exposures will be blurred.
Even if you can fix all that, there's blurring you simply cannot fix. This is due to heat inversion in the air column between you and the object you are viewing. The Hubble space telescope was designed to fix this problem… by simply being above all the air on earth orbiting in a pretty high orbital plane (at the farthest reach that the space shuttles could fly). Air at different temperatures has different densities. This acts like a prism to bend the shape of a beam of light. Look at a straw or pencil in a glass of water. Notice how it looks like it's broken in half at the interface of the water and the air? That's an example of the different densities acting like a prism. Since air is, well, air… it is gaseous and mixes and moves around a lot. It is in constant motion (unlike the water in your glass compared to the air sitting on top of it.) Hot air rises and cool air falls, making all sorts of weird prism effects in our viewfinder. In the column of air between you and the top of the atmosphere where Hubble is, there's also a lot of dust. The dust as well as the temperature inversions is what makes starts look like they are twinkling.
Side note: Planets don't twinkle in the sky when viewed by eye. This is because a star is so far away, you are only seeing it as a point light. This makes it easy for dust or temperature inversion to affect your view of it. But planets are much closer, and their light is spread slightly wider across the retina in your eye. This means there much less of a chance that a mote of dust will block it, or temperature inversion will guide the light too far from your retina.
So how do you fix the problem of having a dark image from the telescope without getting errors from too high of a sensitivity setting or blurring from too long an exposure and temperature inversions? You can thank Woz for the home computer! Using a laptop, I'm going to connect a closed-loop control system to my computer to track the objects I want to image very closely, reducing blur of long exposure images. I'm also going to take multiple images of the same object, then do a process called "stacking" where a computer algorithm will take the sharpest views of different parts of the planet, for instance, and stitch them together into a composite image that is overall much sharper. Then I'll be able to do some image processing on the composite image to get some great results. Stay tuned for more posts on this theme!

Kimberley - Pupils and parents at the Northern Cape High School in Kimberley are objecting to the installation of closed circuit television cameras in the school toilets, it was reported on Thursday.The Volksblad reported that the school installed CCTV to curtail vandalism and bullying.However an unnamed parent, the father of a matric pupil, told the newspaper his daughter no longer felt comfortable using the school toilets, as she found the cameras intrusiveThe Volksblad reported that pupils had complained that the school had failed to tell them about the cameras.Headmaster Henk Brand said no cameras had been installed in the actual toilet cubicles, but that there were cameras directed at the washbasins, and at the backs of boys standing at the urinals."We certainly aren't watching the girls' toilet cubicles or the front of the urinals," he said.Brand reportedly said the basin areas were a constant source of aggravation to school authorities, because pupils scrawled on the walls, stuffed paper into the pipes or left taps running.He said the cameras were installed a few days ago, and that his intention was to explain the system in detail at a school assembly on Monday."These cameras will benefit the whole school, increase general safety and prevent bullying," he said.
This must be unconstitutional. Who the hell puts cameras up in rest rooms? Not even airports do that. Sies these people are sick in the head.
Tree Spirit - You just don't know about it in the airports.
"he father of a matric pupil, told the newspaper his daughter no longer felt comfortable using the school toilets, as she found the cameras intrusive" Does she have something to hide? If bullying is happening in the toilets, what would the fathers response be if his daughter was bullied?
there is obsolutely nothing wrong with that, this other dad of a grade 12 pupil is he for real! its 4 other kids well being.....and so many nasty thing r being done in d toillets, so i really like the principal of that school
My sympathies are with the school. Parents should not complain about the cameras, rather wonder with what standards the kids were brought up to vandalize everything!
whats next? cameras in the classrooms? oh wait... some schools already have that. Being watched all the time like you are in prison will also make me feel uncomfortable
mxm,Ophelia, please re-read the article and understand the significance of this measure.
Yeah, and they should get rid of headmaster, teachers and prefects who look out for unruly behaviour too! Parents dare not keep an eye on their kids either...I mean, everyone's innocent, right!?
Well, maybe once they've seperated the chaff from the wheat, they can remove the cameras.
Dont like the idea of some pervert teacher watching my daughter undress
What is she doing in the boys bathroom?? - "We certainly aren't watching the girls' toilet cubicles or the front of the urinals"
Read the article again, and then once more.
Very good Headmaster very good!
Does the school headmaster have a daughter? I dont think such disgrace should be tolerated in school. he needs suspention, that school is for the community and the community should decide what to do!
read the article again Thabo - the cameras are not in the toilet cubicles, only on the washbasins to prevent vandalism
They should not be in the rest rooms FULL STOP. I'm sick of this big brother is watching you crap. Soon you won't even be allowed to fart without the threat of legal action. Police State here we come.
@Tree Spirit - are you okay with our kids going to school in slum-like conditions?
Are you happy that they must drink from taps where the basins have been stuffed with condoms and tampons? You dont mind them using loo's that have poo on their seats?
Some things need to be sorted out, and unless you are happy to fork out for wages on security guards stationed inside each toilet, then best you come up with another idea to get rid of the riff-raff before you shoot down other logical suggestions...
Grant - This story probably has far more to do with the inefficiency of our teachers and education system than it has to do with the actual kids themselves. Of course I want manageable solutions to these problems, but installing CCTV is a total cop out in my opinion and will bring more problems than it solves. Why not get school security (if they even have any) to check in to the rest rooms regularly to make sure that things are in order. That way you give someone some useful work to do and afford the kids some real protection. Cameras can only act as a deterrent, they're useless when it comes to actually doing anything if and while a crime is being committed. The damage has already been done before they're of any help.
@Tree - you've got that one backwards! Besides, kids use warning systems. One will stand outside to watch for people in authority approaching. As soon as a guard approaches, the lookout will simply walk into the loos and say "drop it guys".
Unless you are stationed inside the toilets full-time, you will not catch anyone, nor will you deter anyone from doing anything!!
Yes, the damage has already been done by the time the video is viewed, but at least you can punish the culprit.
And the argument stands true for both vandalism and drug abuse/dealing. Trust me - kids take advantage of "privacy rights" - and your kid can become a victim because of it.
Remember, these cameras are NOT inside the actual toilet cubicles, so if your daughter really needs her privacy...well...she can have it. What's the problem??
Yes, not you. Come off it. Do you have a better solution?
If that`s the case...then I blame the pupils for the installation...meaning...it cost the school 1000`s a month for unnecessary waste. Behave and it will be removed
I have to agree with you, if the kids were better behaved then these kinds of things won't be needed, even more scary is that girls are doing these things! Though I do feel the school should have handled it a bit better.
The basins...OK...but what are they being pointed at the urinals for? Talk about uncomfortable.
Good question John. I feel that they should have first discuss this with parents and the purples as well.
Wahahahaaa! The "purples"! Now I have heard it all!
Our brothers&sisters are miscreants because the parents have failed in raising them; CCTV the hell out of them! I see a desperate principal here! Give him a rod whilst he's at it!
Yes this has the potential to be abused but better this than the current downward spiral we on! You have a problem with it - go home school your "angel"!
Cameras in toilets is wrong full stop. Worse childrens toilets.
Exactly right Manu. If that doesn't encourage pedophilia I don't know what will.
@manu and Tree Spirit. I'm sure if you volunteer your time to keep watch on the toilets, the school would be glad to take down the cameras.
See article http://www.peherald.com/news/article/4843, I laid a complaint, regarding CCTV cameras also in an Primary School girls and boys toilets, the headmaster argued the same, not facing toilet area only on basins, The constution is clear "right to privacy", any place where an individual feel he/she has a form of privacy is a prvate place! The SGB in this school is now liable and should face Civil claims as they ignored the instruction from the Dept of education, they should all be suspended with immediate effect!
wow that is so sad,,,wat made them to install cctv,,,is it because of their needs to see front urinals of girls....

a good reason for me to buy the Khadas Vim (besides the ability to decode H265, which it does very well under LibreELEC) was the built-in IR receiver and the GPIOs.
Now I must experience that this is not so simple. The usual RPi methods ("dtoverlay=…" in /flash/config.txt, there is not even an overlay folder) do not seem to apply, and I could not find any hint, neither in this forum nor in the documentation, how to activate the IR receiver under LibreELEC.
The same is for the GPIOs. Khadas presents a pinout, well, but no instructions whatsoever how to communicate with the pins. I simply need to flash an external LED, but this seems to be impossible. Khadas advertises the Vim by directly comparing it with the RPi, having not only GPIOs but also a built-in IR receiver, but what is my profit from it if there is no way to use it?
Or is there any? …
Hi, nukevim:
The IR receiver is default activate on the ROMs both our official and Balbes150's release, the ROM support the official IR remote controller, check the Accessories for Khadas VIM for information.
Do you mean that you want to add a support with 3rd-party IR remote?
Hi Gouwa, thanks for the fast reply, I meanwhile figured out the same. Yes, I have a custom IR control. It was my mistake (even though it could be better documented) not to store the configuration file translating the IR signal pulses to button presses at the right place. It has to be in /storage/.config/lircd.conf. Now the IR control works.
Regarding the GPIOs, I have no solution yet. I simply would like to flash an LED via terminal commands. With the RPi this can be done with commands like
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value
For the Vim, I do not see any way how to do it…
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value
Do you mean that you wanna light up an external LED via the GPIO, right?
It will be similar way for Rpi, but for VIM, the current driver need do some configuration first.
Yes, an external LED. So what is the configuration I have to do?
BTW: It would also be interesting to know how to light up the internal LEDs. Are there any instructions?
We will release the instruction about how to use GPIOs at the end of this month.
There are many reasons to like the Vim. Learning to use the GPIO is in the top 3 for me.
Looking forward to the instructions.
Can you tell us the other 2
Of course. TV Box and SD boot/run Linux box.
But generally speaking and put simply, I have had more fun on the Vim than I have had on others in the last few months.
Due much to the Vim's vesatility and the support of Team Khadas and the community.
Now we have April 18, one month later. The end of the month was almost 3 weeks ago. Where are the instructions?
Humm, still waiting for a documentation about the GPIOs
They released GPIO control for ubuntu only:
Any word on the gpio's for libreelec i would love to do a fan speed control script

Students with a degree in psychology can find career opportunities working in schools, corporations, or in the social services sector. Many psychology grads work in the field of mental health, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. Psycho-analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. By comparison, Jungian therapy focuses on the collective unconscious, dream archetypes, and symbolic representation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Therapists in turn will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.
In brief therapy as outlined by Milton Erickson, the therapist treats clinical and subjective conditions faster by precise observation, and direct intervention. Rather than a prolonged analysis of historical causes, the primary approach of brief therapy is to help the client become more versatile in the present, prompting successful clients to undergo spontaneous changes. Behavioral Therapy, on the other hand, addresses both normal and abnormal behaviors. Desensitizing is classical conditioning in action, where a therapist might help a client with a phobia through repeated exposure to the causal agent. Operant conditioning is more direct, relying on rewards and punishments to shape behavior. Beyond degree requirements such as Morton College social welfare programs, you may consider College of St Scholastica advanced placement credit for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

The question
I recently survived breast cancer diagnosis and treatment and have received varying tips about what I should now be eating. What's your stance on a post-cancer diet?
The answer
You ask an excellent question that many cancer survivors ask - what should I eat now that I have been treated for cancer? There's plenty of information on what to eat to help prevent cancer in the first place - and what foods can make you feel better during chemotherapy - but there's far less information on what to eat to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
I make a point of attending the American Institute for Cancer Research Annual Research conference every year. And it's wonderful to see the emerging research on diet and cancer survivorship, especially breast cancer. Here's the best diet advice to reduce breast cancer recurrence based on the current evidence:
• Consider soy. Recent studies have shown that among postmenopausal women who have been treated for hormone-positive breast cancer, a higher intake of soy isoflavones from foods (42 milligrams per day) is associated with a lower risk of recurrence. . A daily intake of 42 milligrams of isoflavones is equivalent to roughly ¾ cup (175 ml) firm tofu, 1.5 cups (375 ml) of soy milk, ½ cup (125 ml) cooked soy beans or 1/3 cup (75 ml) of soy flour.
• Avoid alcohol. A moderate intake of alcohol is linked with a higher risk of breast cancer. If you decide to continue consuming alcohol, do so in moderation. That means no more than one drink a day. One drink is the equivalent of 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of spirits.
• Increase vegetables and fruit - aim for at least 7 servings per day. A number of studies have revealed that a diet high in vegetables and fruit reduces the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence. These foods contain nutrients and antioxidants that may prevent tumour formation and growth.
Studies suggest that cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and kale are especially protective from breast cancer, particularly when eaten raw or lightly cooked. (When eaten raw, cruciferous vegetables provide more biologically active anti-cancer compounds.)
• Limit fat. One trial that enrolled 2,437 postmenopausal women within one year of diagnosis of early stage breast cancer, found significant improvement in survival among women assigned to a low fat diet (15 per cent of total calories or 33 grams of fat per day), especially among women with estrogen-negative breast cancer.
Choose lean meats, poultry breast, legumes and non-fat dairy products. Use cooking oils, higher fat spreads and salad dressings sparingly.
• Control your weight. Breast cancer survivors who are overweight or obese are more likely to have their cancer recur than normal weight survivors. Women who are overweight and sedentary have an even greater risk.
• Add daily exercise. Moderate exercise has been shown to improve breast cancer survival. In one study, walking 30 minutes six days per week - combined with a high fruit and vegetable diet - reduced breast cancer death by 46 per cent.

May 23, 2009 ~ Asked around yesterday to figure out the best time to slip through False Narrows and decided on a 5am wakeup to hit the 9:45am slack through False Narrows. Boy did we mess something up. We were in the pass at a pretty strong outgoing tide. The narrows were choked with seaweed and grasses and kelp of all sorts… home to many crabs as we found out. As the tied went out, it was like paddling through molasses, the grasses were so thick. We decided to hop out and walk our kayaks aways.
Coming out of False Narrows, we had to decide if we were going to cross Dodd Narrows and continue up the coast of Vancouver Island or follow the coast of Gabriola and then content with a crossing over to Newcastle Island. The Vancouver Island coast looked industrious with possible shipping hazards, there were possible currents to deal with crossing Dodd Narrows. Gabriola was supposed to be more scenic with huge sandstone cliffs, but log booms lined the shore we could see. We chose the more scenic route with the crossing at the end. As we paddled by the huge log booms, the wind and water picked up and we fought it hard through 4 foot waves/swells.
Finally pulled into Descanso Bay where the ferry terminal is, but found no camping. We were directed around the corner for the camping. We were dehydrated and getting moreso every minute in the heat. We were not comfortable making the crossing in the wind and waves and decided to eddy hop around to Descanso Bay camping. Upon arriving, we got water and made a lunch immediately. Spoke with some folks and learned that the ferry from Gabriola (the one we just paddled by) to Nanaimo is free in that direction.
Decided to paddle back up to the ferry and try to take the ferry across to Nanaimo, then paddle to Newcastle Island from the Nanaimo ferry terminal. Unloaded the heaviest items into our 2 duffle bags and carried our loaded boats onto the ferry. Shuffled them across the ferry during transit, then got some help carrying them off at the other side. The public dock was between a tenth and a quarter of a mile from the Nanaimo ferry terminal, so then we carried all of our stuff back down to the water.
Paddled across the little channel and got in to camp exhausted around 8:30pm.
Life Lesson: Boats are meant for paddling in not for carrying across land.

High school boys and girls golf has teed off for the 2017 season. The girls are looking to become competitive this season while numbers are up for the guys.
The boys squad jumped from 10 competitors to 19 this year under second year Coach Brittney Boffelli, including one senior, five juniors, five sophomores and nine freshman.
"I think that the varsity will be able to put up a good team score," says Coach Boffeli. "This team offers a lot of determination, they're always wanting to put in extra time."
Noah Feldman, the lone senior, is returning to golf after playing it his freshman year. As a multi-sport athlete he's definitely a competitor and leader on the green.
Meanwhile, Sophomores Colton Kaalberg, Austin Beaver and Jack Baker return with varsity experience. The three have invested a lot into the game
Juniors Justis Dengler and Cole Chown are showing good swings early on in the season, while former JV member Jack Baker has shown a drive to be on the varsity team.
Freshman Eli Gingerich is on the varsity team, while classmates Talen Dengler, Will Esmoil and Rees Epping have potential to help at the varsity level.
It's looking to be a great line-up, which is good for the squad considering five of its members will also be participating in track and field this season.
"That's why you need a line up for varsity that's deeper than just the top six to rely on," says coach Boffeli, who has been working with track coach Gus Garica.
The Comet boys finished last in the River Valley Conference last season, but there's more buzz and excitement around the team in 2017, much more than year's passed.
While it's going to be an uphill climb, Boffeli aims to take this momentum and take home more wins this season. It's about growing the team's potential.
"They're motivated, and they're motivated by each other. From last year to this year I'm seeing a lot of determination and wanting to do well," she says.
On the girls side, they have three solid golfers in Kelzi Mather, Aly Jones and Macy Akers for the varsity squad. They're looking to fill out the team with consistency.
"Right now we have three pretty consistent golfers with Kelzi, Macy and Aly," said Coach James Laughlin. "We are looking for a fourth score to become more consistent on a regular basis."
"If we can get our other girls to throw in a low fourth score we will be pretty tough," he adds. "I think by the end of the year we can put up some pretty good post season numbers."
He's looking at Bella Runge, Tatum Dickey and Morgan Peterson to take some big steps in the next couple of weeks and improve their scores on a regular basis.
Meanwhile Kelzi Mather is the unofficial leader of the team.
"She works hard, has a great attitude, and is a good leader," says Coach Laughlin. "She has been pretty consistent so far this year and I look forward to that continuing."
In the most recent dual with West Branch, Aly Jone put up a 48, Kelzi Mather a 50 while Claire Bridges, Macy Akers and Aleah Rocha scored 52.
So it looks like the boys and girls both have some growing to do in 2017. However, if they keep at it we could be looking at some post season play this year.

Hey guys, Im going to try and explain my situation as best I can. Im not a newb to rooting, etc, but I am no means an expert like most of you. So, with that said, here I go...
I had my Acer A500 rooted on honeycomb when I first bought, when it first came out. I then tried to do the OTA update of ICS many months back with no luck as it gave me the Triangle of death thing when it tried to install it. However it broke my root anyways even though ICS never installed. The weird thing though is that I finally realized my build version stated I was on ICS, but my Android version showed I was running 3.2.1 honeycomb!!!
Yesterday, I finally got fed up and spent hours searching this forum and others trying to find a solution.
On this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1816560), I tried flashing many of the full ROM's and update package ROM's and finally found one that worked under the update package...this one specifically (Acer_A500_7.014.16_041.206.01_COM_GEN1: ftp://126.96.36.199/Tablets/A500/Ace...1_COM_GEN1.zip). My tab booted and seems to be working fine and running 4.0.3 now.
So with all this said, my question to you Android Exerts...what the heck happened? How was I running an ICS build, but on honeycomb? Even though I flashed an update package, do I have a full ICS or do I need to flash a full ROM now?
If I need to flash a full ROM, which one should I do from the first link above?
I am also attaching a screenshot of my Acer tab to show you what Im running.
Please help and thank you to all in advance.

It's one of the highlights of my Fall Tour and I look forward to seeing this area every year.

It isn't often that a new digital advertising concept, no matter how innovative, makes such a vivid and compelling impression on advertisers and publishers alike. But that's exactly what's happening with native advertising.
Barely known or understood three years ago, today native advertising one of the hottest topics in digital media. According to data from BI Intelligence, spending on native advertising is poised to reach $7.9 billion this year and grow to $21 billion in 2018, rising from just $4.7 billion in 2013. And according to a poll conducted by Mixpo on the number of U.S. publishers who offer native advertising, nearly three-quarters of respondents confirmed they offer a native advertising solution while an additional one-fifth planned to do so within the next few years.
Your company is probably already exploring the role that native advertising can play in your own marketing programs—just as many other companies around the world are. But if you haven't yet stumbled upon this million-dollar-idea, this blog post is for you. Whether you're intrigued by the increased efficiencies of programmatic native advertising, or by the high-usability of a specific programmatic platform, here are three reasons why so many digital marketing specialists are jumping head-first into native advertising.
Programmatic buying, much like native advertising, came onto the scene in a big way. In 2013, Forbes published an article titled: "What Is Programmatic Advertising And Is It The Future?" Just two years later, programmatic has become an industry standard.
So what makes programmatic so popular? The simple answer is: efficiency. Before programmatic buying arrived, digital ads were bought and sold by human ad buyers and salespeople, which was time consuming and expensive. Moreover, advertisers were at the mercy of publishers who controlled the price. With programmatic buying, however, advertisers can buy digital ad inventory at scale, while precisely targeting specific audiences.
What programmatic does is essentially automate all of the processes that used to give advertisers headaches. You can define your budget, goals and targeting parameters while the platform adjusts dozens of variables in real-time to determine the right campaign settings to achieve your desired ROI. Many platforms (StackAdapt's included) also nurture conversion activity by combining collected campaign/audience data in real-time and optimizing accordingly. And this is all made possible by real-time bidding (RTB) technology.
Real-time bidding (RTB) is the backbone of programmatic buying. It involves computerized, algorithm-driven trading, and allows for quick buying of ad inventory according to pre-set parameters. It's incredibly efficient—especially when compared to manual buying—and also incredibly granular. RTB gives advertisers the option to bid for inventory only when the specific audience they want to display their ads to is available. This allows for much more precise targeting, and, in turn, a better ROI.
RTB also gives advertisers the flexibility to buy inventory granularly and set different bids for different types of audiences. And thanks to more detailed segmentation of first-party data and incorporating third-party data, you can target specific users who ready to convert. To give you an idea of the range of available targeting options, StackAdapt can target audiences based on intent data, behavioral data, geographical location, contextual relevancy, and more. Furthermore, RTB can be run on an impression by impression basis, which means that bids can be adjusted and optimized to result in a higher ROI.
As a digital marketing specialist, we're sure you're aware of the fact that banner ads simply don't perform like the used to. While the average click-through rate (CTR) for display ads was 0.9 percent 15 years ago, today that number has dropped to around 0.08 percent. According to data from Solve Media, you're about 475.28 times more likely to survive a plane crash than you are to click on a banner ad.
When advertisers became savvy to these facts, they started looking for new ways to engage with their online audiences. Content marketing grew out of this need, built on the belief that clients will reward you with business if you deliver valuable, relevant and non-promotional information on a consistent basis, free of charge.
These content creators quickly realized that banner ads, given their low CTR, were unsuitable for distributing branded content, so they turned their heads to a new and more effective channel: native advertising.

In a way, native advertising can be understood as a solution to the inflexible, ineffective and non-mobile-friendly banner ad. The numbers certainly support the premise: consumers look at native ads 52 percent more frequently than banner ads, native advertising generates 82 percent more brand lift, and purchase intent is 53 percent higher for native ads. And this is particularly true when a native advertising campaign is tied to a pre-existing content marketing strategy. In fact, adding rich media to native ads can boost conversion rates by up to 60 percent.
We recently published a benchmarking study that was covered by Marketing Magazine after analyzing 1,500 native ad campaigns that appeared on over 30,000 publisher sites. According to our findings, native ad click-through rates across our platform averaged between 0.4 percent and 0.8 percent, which is considerably higher than benchmark CTR for display ads (0.14 percent in Canada and 0.08 percent in the U.S.).
Another area in which native advertising excels is engagement (time-on-site). According to our benchmarking study, readers spend an average of one-minute-forty seconds to three-minutes-ten seconds on branded content, which is on par with engagement levels of editorial content.
This success can be attributed to native's ability to display ads to users who are in a "content consumption mode." Whereas banner ads tend to go unnoticed, engagement is high in programmatic native because advertisers can target a high-engagement audience and optimize towards more engagement.
Transparency has become one of the biggest topics of conversation in the digital advertising space in recent years.
Galvanized by an apparent lack of transparency, many advertisers have become more and more vocal about their concern with something called "black box" syndrome—the idea that key information and performance insights aren't being shared with advertisers. The good news is that some platforms have headed this call by introducing fully-transparent platforms with self-serve capabilities.
The benefits that stem from using a fully-transparent self-serve platform are fairly self-evident. First, they enable advertisers to have more control over their native ad campaigns by giving them the ability to take an active role in implementing an ad buying strategy. Digital marketing specialists in particular, given their tech-savviness, want control over the performance of their campaigns and the ability to access performance insights to understand why certain things are happening on specific channels with specific customer segments.
With improved bidding efficiency and the additional control over campaigns via self-serve platforms, fully-transparent platforms with self-serve capabilities address this lack of transparency. Running ads through a self-serve demand-side platform (DSP) allows for more control, centralized reporting, and gives advertisers more transparency into where their ads actually appear.
To give you some context about the relative ease of creating and operating a programmatic native advertising campaign, check out our resources page that guides StackAdapt customers on how to start a new campaign, upload creative, set a bidding strategy and apply engagement targeting.
Super easy, right? We think so.

McDonald on transition from P&G to the VA: 'The veteran is our customer' (Video)
President Barack Obama today introduced Bob McDonald as his nominee to become secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the former Procter & Gamble CEO said his priority would be focusing on the needs of veterans the same way P&G emphasizes the needs of customers.
"At the VA, the veteran is our customer," McDonald said after being introduced at the White House in Washington. "It would be an honor and a privilege to improve the lives of our country's veterans and change the way the Department of Veterans Affairs does business."
Before McDonald spoke, Obama noted that the VA has some of the best doctors and nurses in the country and provides some of the best specialized health care in the world.
"But we're here today because of problems that have outraged us all – that includes the inexcusable conduct we've seen at too many VA facilities," Obama said. "We've got to change the way the VA does business."
For example, the average wait time for new patients to receive primary care at the Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center is the longest in Ohio, and the local hospital has been flagged for "further review and investigation," according to a federal report released amid a public outcry over such delays at VA hospitals nationwide.
The FBI is investigating whether some VA workers tried to hide delays. Those responsible for manipulating or falsifying records at the VA and those who tolerated it will be held accountable, the president said.
"Congress can help by giving the secretary more authority to remove senior leaders," Obama said.
Ohio Senators Rob Portman of Terrace Park and Sherrod Brown of Cleveland said they would support the confirmation of McDonald, 61, an Indian Hill resident who is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and rose to the rank of captain as an Army Ranger. He served as CEO of Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) for four years until he retired in May 2013.
Swift action to confirm McDonald is expected by the Senate, which is scheduled to be in session from July 7 to Aug. 1 before going on a five-week recess for summer.
To reform and reorganize the VA, Obama said, he was turning to "one of our nation's most accomplished business leaders and managers, Robert McDonald."
"The VA's not a business, but it's one of our largest departments," Obama said, noting that it serves nearly 9 million veterans.
McDonald "knows the key to any successful enterprise is staying focused on the people you're trying to serve," Obama said. "He understands that grand plans are not enough. … He knows how to role up his sleeves and get to work."
The president said he had gotten to know McDonald a bit over the years.
"He's no-nonsense," Obama said. "He's pragmatic. He does not seek the limelight."
However, "this is not going to be an easy assignment," Obama said. "Bob knows that."
McDonald said his military service and his experience at P&G were motivated by similar desires to improve the lives of the people he served.
"I joined the Procter and Gamble Co. 34 years ago because of its purpose, which is to improve the lives of the world's consumers," McDonald said. "We need to put care for the veteran at the center of everything we do."
A.G. Lafley, who both preceded and succeeded McDonald as CEO of P&G, said he supports the nomination.
"Following his military service and a distinguished career spanning three decades at P&G, we congratulate Bob McDonald on his nomination for this critically important position of leading U.S. Veterans Affairs," Lafley said.
Sloan Gibson, acting secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs since May 30, was a classmate of McDonald's at West Point. Both graduated in 1975. Gibson, whom the president said would serve as McDonald's deputy, has filled in since the resignation of Eric Shinseki, a former general who resigned as secretary amid the growing scandal at the VA.
The president noted the VA hospitals have seen an influx of veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years.
A surge in demand for medical care from veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan could be related to lengthy wait times for new patients at the Cincinnati VA hospital.
The number of veterans treated at the Cincinnati hospital increased by nearly 28 percent over the last five years, rising to 42,780 unique patients in fiscal year 2013 compared with 33,497 in fiscal year 2008.
However, the Cincinnati VA has the shortest wait times for established patients of the Ohio VA hospitals, according to the results of a recently completed nationwide audit conducted by the Veterans Health Administration.
Despite the attention he will have to devote to the confirmation process, McDonald told me today he's confident the Cultural Facilities Task Force he is leading to help revitalize the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal and Music Hall is positioned to complete its work in the next month.

Before you click away from this brief review, trust me when I say that this book most certainly relates to achieving success in Girevoy Sport.
This week I've been on a (short) vacation and I've been catching up on my reading while I relax by the Pacific Ocean on the Central California Coast. I actually picked up this book a few months ago based on a few reviews I read and thought it might provide a few examples of success strategies or motivational techniques.
How Wrong I Was
The Unbeatable Man is way more the same old "think positive thoughts" mantra that you might be familiar with. Author Matt Furey describes his high school senior year battle to win his weight class in the Iowa State Wrestling championships of 1981.
At the age of 14, Matt won an all-freshman wrestling tournament between his school and several other, bigger schools. That tournament turned out to be a milestone for Matt, as he decided to be "the best wrestler in the State, in [his] weight class, by the time [he] was a senior."
Now I don't know about you, but how many 14-year-olds do you know who have any idea what they're going to do the next hour, let alone what they're going to do when they become a senior 4 years later?
Battling The Naysayers
Of all the places to put yourself out on front street! And to do it as a freshman in high school, one of he most caustic and negative environments for young people trying to achieve a goal outside of the "norm" of just getting along or fitting in.
Yet Furey set to his task with a laser-like focus, in spite of a less than perfect high school wrestling career. Spending hours in the gym practicing his moves over and over and over again, while at the same time reading everything related to wrestling he could get his hands on in order to glean everything he could from the greatest wrestlers in the sport.
In addition to a single-minded focus to be the best, Matt had a coach who helped him to achieve his best. In the run-up to the district finals (the state tournament qualifier), his coach said the following:
So remember what the big key to winning is: It's taking one match at a time; looking ahead only in the sense of knowing what your overall goal for the tournament is, but keeping your feet on the ground by realizing you have to win one match at a time to get to the finals."
How This Relates To Girevoy Sport
I spend a good deal of time reading about Girevoy Sport on forums, blogs, and web sites and a common theme I see, is the quest for the "magic" program that will help increase the lifter's numbers. What I'm beginning to learn, however, is that there is no "magic" program.
Sometime the biggest obstacle to a goal is your own mind. We either defeat ourselves or let others defeat us with their words.
Men are especially bad as we let our egos get in the way of learning when we discover that snatching a 24 kilo kettlebell for ten minutes isn't as easy as it looks. So instead of learning the correct form and mastering the basics in order to progress from a more reasonable weight to a heavier one, we give up and move to a sport with more instant gratification.
Girevoy Sport is about mastering the snatch, jerk or longcycle one rep at a time and doing it again and again until we meet our goal. However, it's easy to become disillusioned when you look at a 155 pound lifter popping up a pair of 32 kilo bells like he's shooting a basketball. The first time I tried to jerk a pair of 32s (at 200 pounds) I thought my wrists were going to snap in half. The guy on the video made it look effortless! Of course we never see the thousands of hours of practice he went through to get to the point where it looks so effortless!
It takes practice. First with the 12 kg or the 16 kg. Soon that becomes easy and we move to the 20 kg. Then the 24 kg. Then the 28 and the 32 kg.
It could take one year or five or ten!
But you have to do it one rep at a time.
One minute at a time.
The Law Of Practice
During the beginning of Furey's senior season, his record was a lackluster 7-4. Determined to achieve his goal, he went back to reviewing the writings of the great Dan Gable. What Furey found changed his outlook on training and life forever. Gable wrote that to become better, one had to practice three times a day.
In a nutshell, The Law of Practice states that we can become better than our competitiors if we practice more than they do. Furey discovered that in order to be his best, he had to practice more than his competitors did. A lot more.
I know what you're probably saying right now, "That's it?".
Sort of. And there's much more to it than that.
But if you want to get better at lifting kettlebells, you have to lift kettlebells. Lots of times. If you want to get better at lifting kettlebells when you're not lifting them, you have to think about lifting kettlebells. You have to see each rep as a perfect rep. You have to see the clock tick off each minute as you flawlessly complete those reps. You have to see yourself breathing in a controlled manner and you have to do this every day — if you want to be successful on the lifting platform.
The Unbeatable Man is not about lifting kettlebells. It is about achieving the goals you set for yourself through practice, visualization, and a positive mindset.
The story Matt tells is his own story, but one we can all use to succeed in our chosen sport and in life. I only wish I had this book when I was in my teens, as I would probably be in a much different place in my life now. Get this book. Apply these principles. Succeed.

Month: July 2016
Summer job
Human Trafficking
July 18, 2016
Time sure has flown by. Life in the U.S. moves so fast, island time is so much slower. It is an adjustment for us each time we come home. This time we came home with no means to support ourselves, but God provided us with work.
First Bob worked for the Parish Twinning Program's sea container program and I helped as a volunteer. We packed things for our twin parish with the help of friends from Michigan and the Dowelltown Methodist church.
Then, just as we finished the shipping container, Bob was hired to work at CMI, a religious retreat center located close to us. The center is owned and operated by the Carmelite order. Along with restoration work and maintenance work, Bob and I also catered a three day zonal meeting for 26 Carmelite priest held last week. During one of the sessions Bishop David Choby was present and we had the opportunity to share with him about our "day job". (Haiti)
We have hosted numerous out of town guests this summer, with more visitors planned. These are collaborators with our project and the visits help us to formulate plans for our future work. Of course, we are also having a wonderful time with our fifteen grandchildren that we miss so much when we are in Haiti.
In June we took a trip north to Michigan and Wisconsin to fund raise and attend our National Salvatorian Assembly. During this trip we had the opportunity to sell Haitian arts and crafts and along with individual donations, enough money was raised for us to return to Haiti this fall.
While at the National Assembly I met with several of our Salvatorian Sisters to discuss their work to end Human Trafficking. Sr. Sheila Novak, along with several other Salvatorians, have been working in this area for many years.
She explained Haiti is a country that is hard hit by the traffickers because of the poverty. There is also a problem in Haiti where traffickers go to the country and convince parents to give them their children, promising the children a better life in the cities. The reality is the children are used as slaves. I was able to gain a better understanding of the problem and how people are lured in.
Sr.Sheila sent us a wonderful poster to help educate people on human trafficking. Because of the illiteracy problem in Haiti we decided the poster could also be acted out as a skit. We will contact a Haitian friend in Florida to help to translate the poster into Creole and to get more information about how the parents in Haiti are convinced to allow their children to be taken. Bob and I are both convinced that education is the key to helping the Haitian people to help themselves.
I am sorry that we have not written more since leaving Haiti and hope this fills in the blanks. We have more traveling this summer so we hope to see some of you.
God Bless Denise
P.S. I have also been working on our summer mailing. It will include our summer newsletter and the student pictures for our sponsors. This is a big job but I have almost finished it. It will be in the mail soon.

Color Pop V/S Color Block: Wear your attitude
Attitude is in the way you walk…
Attitude is in the way you talk…
Attitude is in the way you dress…
Attitude is in the way you express…
[dropcap]A[/dropcap]ttitude comes from within be it in the portrayal of your personality or in your intrinsic style sense! It is your aplomb with which you carry yourself that reflects your free spirited aura. To manifest our thoughts, the Style Symphony is here with an OOTD post with an amalgam of both the aspects to redefine fashion with a whole new definition. Today's OOTD incorporates oriental as well as occidental elements into one ensemble to give you the best of both worlds.
I am adorning a wrap around skirt in parrot green hue along with a sequined solid black top. I have complimented the look with striking accessories for a bewitching color block effect. The tote bag along with the broad belt in 'marsala red' ([highlight]Pantone color of the year 2015[/highlight]) and a watch with a similar hued strap brings out a stark contrast with the printed green color pop skirt. The skirt is printed with Japanese Batik inspired print which showcases flora and fauna in vibrant hues.
In order to balance the vibrancy of the look, I have paired it up with a pair of brown suede calf length boots with link chain accents and a pair of black graphic printed socks. Furthermore, I have done this look with a pretty bold makeup that comprises of kohl rimmed smoky eyes balanced with subtle cappuccino matte lips.
Normally people fear to combine Eastern and Western elements in fashion in a casual chic look as sometimes bright hues kill the casual appeal. But, as far as this OOTD is concerned, I am quite confident that playing with vibrancy hasn't killed the charisma of my casual chic look. So, I dare to go dramatic with this delightfully happy combo for that oh-so-deadly look. 😉

text: ok real quick for those of you who don't know me..I'm a small solo op. Do mainly mowing during the summers. I'm a school teacher full time during the reg school year. Doing pretty good mowing and this year I did quite a bit of power washing, mulching, brush hogging and tree cleanup/clearing work. I'm currently running a 2004 Chevy 2500HD. This is my main and only work truck and has a Meyer plow on it as well. Since I started my company, I've been looking for a decent, cheap, older dump truck. I stumbled across one yesterday that has my name all over it. it's a 1987 GMC 3500 4x4 dump. Needs some minor work but nothing major according to the seller. Fixing/repairing isn't much of an issue as I do it all myself. Truck looks decent from the pics. Little rust on the rocker panels, dump body is in nice shape as is the rest of the body. very minor surface rust. Seller claims all it needs is a power steering pump (included with the sale). It also has a "newer" Western plow setup and it does in fact look newer from the pics. I offered a crazy low price on it and she said fine. Said her son will even tow it here (about a 3 hours drive from me) for free. The Western plow package alone is worth more than what I offered for the truck. She said she is cleaning up her property and just wants it gone. So I'm going to get it. While it won't make me a ton of $ directly, it'll be a huge improvement from using a reg pickup for chipping jobs, mulch, firewood, etc. So it's more of a convenience than anything.Even if I end up not using it, I can fix it up and flip it for a few bucks at the very least. So long story short, my question is what are your thoughts on this model? I had an 86 K10 in college and loved it. Couldn't break it no matter how hard I tried. I think this GMC has a 350 with a TH400. Not sure on the transfer case or axles. I assume the rear would be a GM 14 bolt.....What were the major issues with this year truck? Looks like it'll be a little workhorse with a little TLC. Might even paint it and make it look nice too. What are your thoughts? (Sorry for the long winded post)

Forum Editor 14:55 20 Nov 2004
(and they often are) it makes sense to use the ethernet connection. You'll use it initially to configure the router anyway, and you will gain nothing (apart from mobility) if you revert to a wireless adapter. Of course you'll have to do that if you want to move the PC or the router at any stage.
A lot of grief if you run a mixed XP and ME network? There's no reason why that should be the case, but take a tip from me - when you run the home networking wizard on the desktop say 'yes' to the option to have WinXP create a networking floppy disk. It will contain all the necessary configuration settings, and you simply run it on the ME machine.

How does the Hario V60 Work?
The Hario V60 is a coffee dripper, it works in the same way as the automatic drip-coffee machines, but with all the control and at a fraction of the price. The version we have for sale is ceramic and designed to make one or two cups of coffee, directly into the cup and without the need for a server. On the inside of the filter cone, there are grooves which prevent the filter from sticking to the side of the cone and this helps to get the brew at the right speed and just as effective every time you use it.
How Do I Make Coffee With The Hario V60?
The Hario V60 is a ceramic drip coffee maker, you need to follow some simple instructions to get some great coffee from it. Here you go:
1. Fold the filter paper along the seams and place inside the cone
2. Place the bottom of the cone over a cup. You can buy a Server to match the Hario V60, but for a 120ml serving you might as well cut out the middle man and pour it into your favorite cup.
3. Add the coffee grounds, you need about 12g per cup and the grind you need is medium-fine. There's a scoop included to help you with the measurements so you don't need to weigh unless you're a perfectionist.
4. Add a little water, just off the boil, moisten the grounds and leave for thirty seconds to allow the grounds to bloom.
5. Pour the rest of the water over the grounds and let the coffee drip through the bottom, it ought to take about 3 minutes to make a full serving. When pouring be sure to try and pour the water onto the beans and not directly onto the paper for best results. The best technique is to pour the water into the center and then outwards in a circular motion, as if making a spiral in the grounds.
6. Enjoy your cup of coffee.
Is the Hario V60 Suitable For Beginners?
If you are new to this making coffee without a machine, allow yourself the time to practice and experiment with getting a good cup, measure things out until you get used to what you're doing and buy a thermometer to make sure you're not burning the beans with water that's too hot or impacting the brew and making weak coffee. If you give yourself a chance to get it right you'll soon learn how to do it to your own tastes and this is much more rewarding than getting a good cup of machine coffee.
What Filters Do I Need For The Hario V60?
The Hario V60 is only recommended for use with the Hario filters, which aren't that widely available to buy in shops but easy enough to order online. We've heard reports of other people managing fine with other filters but we don't want to recommend that and ruin your coffee experience, but have a go if you're feeling adventurous and see if you can make that work for you.
What Coffee Do I Need To Use With The Hario V60?
The coffee beans you use is entirely your own preference so choose whichever beans suit your tastes, there is no difference in use between the different blends of coffee. We at Gathering Grounds do recommend paying close attention to the instructions for the grind though, you'll want a medium-fine grind, as this gives you the right balance between getting the best out of your beans without grinding fine enough to get a powdery cup.
Can I Use The Hario V60 With Any Coffee Cup?
The bottom of the Hario V60 fits the majority of coffee cups, but if you want to check it fits your current favorite mug then the inner ring (which sits in your cup) measures 2 1/4 inches and the diameter of the part that sits on top of the cup is 4 1/2 inches, so provided you don't have a particularly large cup or server you should be fine.
How Do I Clean The Hario V60?
The Hario V60 is ceramic so it's very easy to clean. The filters, being disposable, are thrown away with the grounds so there's very little cleaning required, which is definitely a bonus. Mostly you'll just need to give it a quick rinse with soapy water if you need to do anything at all. If you for some reason needs a good clean then it is dishwasher safe should you need to use one. If you've used any soap, as with all coffee makers, make sure to give it a good rinse so as not to impact the flavor.
Who Is The Hario V60 Best For?
The strengths of the Hario V60 are in the allowance for the artistic making of drip coffee just the way you like it, without having to rely on a machine that you hope produces good results. The manual makers are excellent value by comparison and it affords you some versatility, for you can change the brew method to account for individual tastes much easier than with an automatic machine, which sometimes just never give you the coffee you want.
The other advantage is that it's portable and versatile, fitting most cups and being small enough to fit easily in your luggage to take on vacation, of course with it being ceramic you'll need to take care with it though.
What Are The Disadvantages Of The Hario V60?
The Hario V60 is a great addition to any coffee maker's arsenal but the difficulty in sourcing filters locally could be awkward for those who aren't prepared to risk using other, more commonly available filters.
Also, while the artistic ability is a great feature for a coffee-lover, for those who have to make a lot at a time or who need their morning cup to be less effort might do better getting a machine. The brew can be time-consuming when in a hurry and you want to be able to enjoy the process rather than make coffee in a rush.
The material, while perfectly suited to making coffee, is pretty fragile, so while it's great for the home, it's not going to last long if you're taking it out a lot.

You do not have to have a business TAX ID number to apply for a business credit card contrary to what most assume. If you are an entrepreneur and need a line of credit then a business credit card should be your way to working capital. Start your company the right way even if you are a niche work-at-home mom with no business name.
You may be surprised to realize that as an individual you can take advantage of the good deals and credit benefits offered by a business credit card. Incentives may include a longer than typical 0% introductory APR or balance transfers, rewards points incentives or even gift cards. Overall interest rates may also be quite low. The Advanta card designed for small businesses offers a 7.99% APR, for instance. Most business cards also offer easy online account management, 0$ fraud liability and more. Do keep in mind that many business cards have an annual fee that can be quite costly.
If you are just starting a business, this may help you finance initial expenses to start your new venture. In most cases, even if your business will be a partnership or LLC, you will have personal financial liability for the debts incurred on the credit card. There is no reason not to apply early on in the process of starting your business, even before it is fully legally established. That said, in this instance, a business card can help to maintain financial separation of your business and personal affairs. This step can help to protect your LLC and make for a better tax situation in case of an audit. Businesses must be well established in order to qualify for credit without a personal guarantee.
An individual can function as a business using his or her social security number as a tax ID. This is how a sole proprietorship functions. When applying for the card, simply put your social security number down in both the SSN space and your tax ID number space. A sole proprietorship can be as simple as selling items on e-Bay or doing contract work. You will not need to declare any spending on the card on your taxes, nor will applying for a business card impact your taxes in any way. Applying for credit in this way is totally legal and well within the rules of the card issuer.
Many business credit cards offer a higher limit than personal cards. Also, if you need to access a substantial amount of credit or carry a higher credit limit than might be ideal, these cards are typically not reported on your personal credit report. When choosing business credit cards for personal or business use, consider the same factors you might for an individual card. If you will pay your card in full regularly, a higher interest rate in exchange for better rewards may be reasonable. If you will use your business credit to finance larger purchases, consider seeking a lower rate option.
