You're contemplating taking the dive and setting up your own business, or perhaps you have already. It's no more 9 to 5, you're setting your own timelines, you are your own performance review. Your days now vary from being highly productive to highly disruptive. If you're like me, the thought of doing anything non-work related between 9 to 5 makes you anxious, yet you then end up working all day and throughout the weekend. I've come to realise that not only is this ridiculous, it's also unsustainable!
Related: 4 Ways to increase your productivity at work
So what's the key to settling into the lifestyle of an entrepreneur? Here are some tips I've used to help me.
1. Create a project plan
To get somewhere, you have to know where you are going. Your mind is probably running a mile a minute, and you have to lay out a plan to make sure how, and when, you can make those dreams possible.
As a business owner, you should be pretty clear as to what you are going to offer and to whom. You must be very clear on your vision, especially in year one, as to what the product offering is, and an in-depth insight into who your ideal customers are. What do you need to accomplish to get there? Laying out a 12 month, top-level plan will help you see what your year looks like (is it realistic?), the lead time needed for projects, and will allow you to figure out what your priorities are i.e.,. when you need to start planning trips, conferences, vacations, etc. Being clear on your vision and why you're taking this leap will be the light at the end of the tunnel when days are a bit dark.
2. Set realistic timelines
As new business owners, the amount of work that we could do is limitless. Often we can get caught up in this, and 80 hour weeks become the norm, weekends become "workends", and family time, social life or exercise become nice to have things that only 9 to 5ers get. Right? Wrong! Yes, we have a lot to do to reach our goals and get those hard earned dollars coming in. But this lifestyle is not sustainable, and it's not healthy.
With your project plan giving you the outline, break each project down into small bite size chunks, so you know what you need to do by when. I have started to adopt a weekly checklist of "actionables", so I know what I need to focus on for that week. It helps. Before this, I was doing a little bit of everything and therefore, accomplishing nothing. It's time for you to work smarter, not harder.
3. Good Focus
Old habits die hard, so start working on good ones. Email, both a blessing and a curse, can creep into our day-to-day tasks and kill off our productivity like the plague, slowly but surely. When you're working on a task, work on that one task. Turn off email alerts, messaging and block social media sites if you don't have that kind of self-control. Don't even answer the phone – if it's important they will leave a message (unless you know it's an emergency – there are exceptions to every rule). I have adopted a practice I picked up from Timothy Ferris, where I set a timer to 40 minutes and have that time to work on a task. When the 40 minutes is up, I take a 15-minute break (email, social media, snack), and then repeat. I currently have 25 minutes left to finish this piece!
Learn to focus on the present. Give 100% to everything you are doing, it will come out in the quality of your work. You and your clients deserve that kind of attention.
4. Flexible priorities
I want to stress one thing. Having a plan, tasks, timelines, and focus are daily practices, but you are not shackled to them. As an entrepreneur in a very fast paced world, you have to be able to adapt. I have witnessed many entrepreneurs fail because they were so set on a path, they couldn't see the world around them change from under them. In other words, they were so insulated, they couldn't see the wood from the trees. Don't fall into that trap.
What makes a successful business? People who buy from it. Your focus starting out is your customers. Market research is great, but tangible research is better. Talk to your customers, talk to people you hadn't considered to be customers, play around on social networks to see what people are saying about your industry, engage online (one of the greatest gifts to businesses today is the ability, in real time, to talk to your audience), blog, attend events; basically get out of that great 'work from home' space you've created. If no one is interested in what you're building, you may have to get used to a 9 to 5 again – and we both know that's not an option.
The world is churning new entrepreneurs by the second; we are the game changers and satisfaction seekers who want to make the world a better place. This is amazing and makes the future incredibly exciting, but also makes the entrepreneur space even more competitive. If you've taken the plunge, congrats, but be ready to be on your toes. Don't fall into the trap of working 24/7 as this will not give you the competitive edge; this comes from knowing your customers, putting in quality time, with quality work as an output, and being agile to the rapidly changing market, so you stay ahead. Make sure you can always see the wood.

(NEWS10) – The newest form of gaming has hit the shelves as of 12:01am Thursday. PlayStation VR was released early this morning.
To celebrate the launch of PlayStation VR Thursday in North America, Sony held a midnight release launch event at Sony Square NYC where President of Sony Interactive Entertainment America Shawn Layden, made the first sale at 12:01am ET.
Layden said that it's been over 4 years of work to get to today. He says to finally see this revolutionary idea come to fruition is extremely gratifying, and Sony fans around the world whole heartedly agree.
"It's a completely new technology and platform for us. It's not just an extension of console gaming, it brings a whole new way to experience entertainment inside a completely immersive experience where narration takes on a whole new meaning," said Layden.
"I've never been first in line before for anything. I've wanted this thing for quite some time, and I'm absurdly excited so here I am. I got here a little bit earlier just for this and I'm first in line. I'm surprised."
PlayStation VR will deliver a true virtual reality gaming experience for the over 40 million who already own a PlayStation 4 system at a competitive price point for the high-end VR market ($399). For those who have not yet purchased a PlayStation 4, the new slimmer PS4 is now available for $299.
Hundreds of fans and gamers lined up for a chance to be among the first to play and purchase PlayStation VR at midnight launch event at Sony Square NYC and at select Best Buy and GameStop stores across the country.
The same will more than likely be the case for the next few days as the popularity of this new form of gaming grows. It should make for an interesting Christmas season.

Where to start with School Culture – Guest Dr. Angela Huff
Join Phil Boyte and his guest Dr. Angela Huff as they talk about where you start when it comes to building great culture on a campus. During this podcast, Angela shares simple things like how important it is to listen before making changes, why she was always at the carpool drop off each morning and how sharing her own weaknesses helped build trust within your staff. Listen in to hear some simple, but fantastic ideas you could start implementing this week.
A little about Angela:
Throughout her career, Angela Huff has been a teacher, principal, administrator, area assistant superintendent, and then spent her last four years as the Chief of Staff for the Cobb County School District a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.
During her career, Angela was chosen as the Georgia PTA Outstanding Principal of the Year and was also a contributing author for the book, 365 Meditations for Teachers by Teachers. One of her biggest goals was to build her schools around a strong foundation of trust and working on solid relationships with her staff, students, and parents in the community.
In May 2016, Angela retired from an outstanding thirty two year career from the State of Georgia and moved to Brentwood, Tennessee to assist family members. A few months after moving, Angela began working for the Williamson County School District and is currently the Special Projects Manager.
At home, Angela is the wife of Barry and has three children Meagan, Lauren, and Evan. She relishes the moments that she can spend with her family and friends, and enjoys reading, exercising, and taking a relaxing, leisurely ride with her husband on his Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Probably you've seen/tried this very popular recipe for rolling up apple wedges in canned crescent biscuit dough and then pouring three gallons of butter + sugar + a can of Mountain Dew over everything, right? Ridiculously delicious, decadent, sinful, etc.
Well, I tried it using fresh strawberries instead of apples. I am so smart.
Of course I am going to use peaches in the next round. Oh, and I'll bet that figs would be outstanding.
Change the spices and flavorings for added interest. Almond extract and nutmeg go well with peaches. I have tried this recipe twice using strawberries; the first time with vanilla extract and no spices, the second time with almond extract and cinnamon. Both were excellent.
Be sure to use some of the beautiful syrupy goodness in the bottom of the pan over the dumplings and ice cream.
Recipe adapted from various internet recipes of Apple Dumplings
- 1/2-3/4 pint fresh strawberries
- 2 cans (8 ounce cans ) crescent dough (from the refrigerated section in the grocery store with canned biscuits)
- 2 sticks butter (1 cup)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
- cinnamon, to taste
- 1 can (12 ounce) Mountain Dew or other lemon-lime carbonated beverage
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Butter a 9" x 13" baking dish; set aside.
- Wash strawberries and cut lengthwise into quarters for smaller berries or eighths for larger berries.
- Separate crescent dough into triangles (Eight per can). I recommend working with only one can at a time.
- Put four or five strawberry slices on large end of each dough triangle and roll up, ending with narrow end. Place close together in two rows in buttered baking dish.
- Over medium heat in a small sauce pot, melt the butter.
- When butter has melted, turn off heat and add sugar. Stir briefly. The butter and sugar do not blend well together, but that is okay. The sugar should still be quite granulated. You are not looking for a smooth mixture. While the 'dumplings' bake, the sugar will form a slightly crispy coating on top of the dough. Sooooo good.
- Stir vanilla or almond extract into the butter/sugar mixture. Pour evenly over the dumplings.
- Pour the Mountain Dew around the edges of the baking dish. Sprinkle dumplings with cinnamon, to taste.
- Bake at 350-degrees F for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired. Pour some of the pan juices over the dumplings before serving.

Richard asks…
How to go to KL Sentral from Kuchai Entreprenuers park, any bus or tren availble?
KL Local Boy answers:
That area is already near Old Klang Road, not too far away from KL Sentral.

You can also try public buses but the timing can be unpredictable.
There is no LRT and Komuter Train is a quite a distance away.

The world has progressed and from cloth pads we have come very far with better absorbing and fragrance enhanced sanitary napkins. But the evil truth behind these sanitary napkins is that they are a BIG environment hazard and are non degradable. Disposal of these napkins poses an extreme environmental threat as tons of sanitary napkins are converted into heaps of non-degradable plastic waste.
According to studies, only 12% of the 355 million women in India of menstruating age can afford the expensive sanitary napkins. But this small percent also translates into huge nos. – these 12% women means 42.6 million Indian women, who will throw away 21.3 billion sanitary napkins into a landfill in their lives. Now, can you imagine our future generation being able to survive when there will nothing else but these landfills and huge heaps of sanitary napkin waste everywhere? No, right?
Say no to these sanitary pads and let us look at options which are environment friendly for a better tomorrow.
Menstrual Cups
The menstrual cups are the best disposable options which one can use in the modern day. The menstruation cups are made from silicon. They come in 2 variants – disposable and reusable. The menstrual cup is the most hygienic alternative as the blood stays in the cup within the vagina with no exposure to air and hence less chances of infections.
The blood gets filled in the cup which is inserted inside the vagina. You can keep it inside till 12 hours at a stretch. Then remove it, flush the contents in a toilet, clean the cup and reuse it if it is a reusable variant or dispose it if it is a disposable variant.
Insertion devices are not popular in the Asian region mainly because of the alleged discomfort or the inconvenience caused during the first trial of insertion. It may be difficult during the first trial but as you get a hang of the insertion and removal method, this is the most convenient alternative to sanitary napkins. Here is a guide on insertion of the cup.
These cups are available in India at SheCup priced at INR 760/- and SilkyCup priced at INR 600/-.
Reusable Cloth Pads
Reusable Cloth Pads are made from soft cotton and hence do not cause irritation to the skin as caused by the chemicals of sanitary napkins. These are easy to use, almost similar to our sanitary napkins.
These can be reused. Once used, soak them in warm water and let all the blood come out of the cloth. Post that, wash them as normal clothes with soap and water.
As these are made from cotton, disposing them becomes easier as compared to sanitary napkins. Women might feel that these napkins are expensive but if you compare to the damage caused by sanitary napkins, in the long run these reusable cloth pads seem inexpensive.
These pads are available at Ecofemme, Anandi Pads, Jayashree Industries, Goonj NJPC (Not just a piece of cloth). All these initiatives work towards rural development and employment and these are the cheaper variants of reusable cloth pads.
If you are a DIY person and want to try your hands on making your own reusable pads, then Wikihow is here to help!
In order to save earth from the upcoming disaster, let us vow today to use environment friendly alternatives to sanitary napkins. For a better tomorrow for our kids, say no to sanitary napkins!

Title: Mobile phone records
Date: 03 September 2015
MCN Law
In May I was knocked off my Honda Hornet 600 by an silly t*sser who was more interested in his mobile phone call than looking at the road and other people on it. He just swerved into my path as I was overtaking him on the outside. I was incredibly luckily not to be too badly hurt.
However I was sufficiently injured to make a claim against him and I am claiming for the damage to my bike, kit and watch. The problem is he now denies that he was not on his mobile which is unbelievable. Any tips on dealing with this gratefully received and keep up the good work!
Simon Jenkins, Pontypool
This issue crops up quite a lot and the story is usually the same one. You need to get your solicitor to write to the third party insurer alleging that he was on his phone and requesting a log of his phone records. Often the insurer will refuse (or more accurately their insured refuses. This does beg the question why? Why would one refuse if there is nothing to hide? If they do not comply then a court application for disclosure of the documents needs to be made. The court is highly likely to order disclosure and the legal costs of the application.
Sometimes it is claimed that there are no phone records because the other party has a pay as you go phone. Phone companies will keep records of calls made from pay as you go phones but most only keep them for 12 months so don't be fobbed off and make the court application as soon as possible to avoid the risk of losing evidence. I am assuming that the police didn't report on the accident as I imagine they would have recorded that he was on his phone if they were told this. They often check mobiles at the scene of accidents. If he was on the phone then presumably he will receive points and a fine or could even be prosecuted for careless driving.

So your partner is cooking something for you but unfortunately it tastes like shit. Would ypu tell them the truth or would you lie? Or just not tell them and hope they dont ask how it is?
Most Helpful Girl
Tell him the truth. Nicely. Not like "babe this tastes like ass" but more "hmm I think we can try and make some changes to be better next time.." But he generally has the same taste as me, at least in the sense of knowing what's good and what's bad, so I'm not too worried lol00|00|0
What if ass tasted good to him? Lol
- Show AllShow Less
@kambo_trick3y haha depends on the guy right, and the general situation. Like if he was trying something new and super excited and really really wanted to share it with me and was eagerly awaiting my opinion, I'd be nice about it. But some people can take it lol so I might say that depending on the person ;)
thanks for MH, Toad!
Most Helpful Guy
if it was unbearable I would say that I really appreciate them trying but I can't eat it and that we should cook something together.
if, however, it is bearable, then I'll just eat it with a smile on my face. and maybe add a lot of hot sauce.00|00|0

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Origins Available: English, Scottish
Blem Early Origins
Derbyshire where the name is a metonymic occupational name for an iron worker from the Middle English "blome" meaning an ingot of iron. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Hanks, Patricia and Flavia Hodges, A Dictionary of Surnames. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1988. Print. (ISBN 0-19-211592-8) By extension, the name was derived from "the bloomer," a worker at a bloomery, or bloom-smithy. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Bardsley, C.W, A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances. Wiltshire: Heraldry Today, 1901. Print. (ISBN 0-900455-44-6) Another reference is more specific: " a 'bloom' is a mass of iron that has gone a second time through the fire - Anglo Saxon bloma; and bloomary, hence probably a Bloomer was a person employed in the manufacture of iron." [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. One of the first records of the name was found in Derbyshire in 1202 when William Blomere was listed in Pipe Rolls at that time. The Assize Rolls of Staffordshire list Robert le Blomere there in 1279. [4]CITATION[CLOSE]
Reaney, P.H and R.M. Wilson, A Dictionary of English Surnames. London: Routledge, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-415-05737-X) The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 list Johannes Blomer, smyth and Johannes Blomere. Later Henry Blewmer and William Blumer were both listed in Yorkshire in 1513 and 1515.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Blem were among those contributors: Mercy Bloomer, who arrived in New York in 1703; Anne Bloomer, who landed in Virginia in 1717; Joshua Bloomer, who landed in New York in 1769; Francis Bloomer, who landed in Pennsylvania in 1776.

- About this book
Few areas of medicine are evolving as rapidly as cardiac electrophysiology. What were only a short time ago seen to be lethal rhythm disturbances can now be treated with confidence in a diverse spectrum of patients. The first edition of Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias, published over ten years ago, has served clinicians not only as a practical guide to cardiac arrhythmias, but also as a comprehensive reference source. The second edition builds upon the concise style and expert authorship of its predecessor to provide the most up-to-date information on the diagnosis and treatment of this group of diseases. The introductory chapters begin with historical perspectives of the field and move on to discuss the scientific basis of arrhythmogenesis and diagnostic testing. The book then devotes specific chapters to various arrhythmias, including technical innovations in treatment and insights from clinical trials of and current guidelines for permanent pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Subsequent chapters focus on arrhythmias in specific populations, including athletes, children, and women during pregnancy. Syndromes such as syncope, long and short QT syndrome, and J wave syndromes are also covered. Presenting complex information in a clearly structured and efficient format, this book is an incomparable asset to cardiologists and other physicians and health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
- Reviews
"The purpose of this fine text is to help inform physicians and surgeons about recent advances in the diagnosis and management of patients with cardiac arrhythmias, and to describe how electrophysiologists can best assist in the care of their patients. Written by leaders in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, and well edited by Leonard I. Ganz, Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias provides lucid descriptions of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in patients with heart rhythm disturbances. Tables, figures, and treatment algorithms are used extensively to make this book a practical clinical guide as well as an excellent reference source. This book will prove to be of enormous value both to specialists and generalists responsible for the care of patients with cardiac arrhythmias."-Foreword by Eugene Braunwald, MD, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Partners Health Care System, and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
"this book provides one of the most comprehensive yet condensed overviews of contemporary clinical cardiac electrophysiology...this book provided an easily accessible, thorough and concise source of information..." -Acta Cardiologica
"State-of-the-art chapters consider both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management of atrial flutter and fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, dysrhythmias during and following myocardial infarction, and the dysrhythmias encountered in pregnancy and in childhood. The reader quickly gains a comprehensive understanding of current practice and is provided with an indispensable reference and clinical guide." -Comprehensive Therapy
"The book is very well written. Algorithms for evaluation of syncope or long-term pharmacologic management of supraventricaular tachycardia graphically outline reasonable approaches to patients with these problems. The illustrations are helpful: informative color plates in the middle of the book show how cardiac mapping helps in the localization of arrhythmias. The information in the book is accurate and up to date...This book would be most appropriate for the physician with a basic understanding of cardiac arrhythmias who seeks a detailed understanding of recent advances in this field, particularly with regard to newer therapeutic techniques and options. A physician whose patient has a particular arrhythmia will find an adequate explanation of mechanism of the problem and descriptions of the most advanced electrophysiological approaches to evaluation and management, along with a discussion of when referral to an electrophysiologist is appropriate and what to expect from that referral." -New England Journal of Medicine
"...a welcome addition to the library of the nonelectrophysiologist. Its skillful editing has resulted in a well-balanced text that is suitable for both the general practitioner and cardiologist who encounter arrhythmias in their everyday practice. While covering the basic diagnostic and therapeutic issues, this book also touches on the intricacies of the EP world and provides a better understanding of what the electrophysiologist might offer the patient." - Chest
"This is a fine book on cardiac arrhythmias and provides a bridge from clinical cardiology and arrhythmia management to interventional electrophysiology..." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The book is predominantly focused on arrhythmia mechanisms and interventional electrophysiology, i.e. ablation … . this is a textbook that covers a huge area of knowledge but has to condense it into a mere 470 pages. This challenge has been well met and has resulted in a readable book, at the expense of fine detail. It will provide a good resource for background knowledge." (Tim R. Betts, Cardiology News, Summer, 2012)

The US Department of Education offers a variety of federal grants, such as Federal Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG grants). However, there are some cases in which you may have to repay certain grants. For example, if you withdrew early from the program for which the grant was given to you, or if your enrollment status changed in a way that reduced your eligibility for a given grant.
There are thousands of scholarships, from all kinds of organizations, and they're not hard apply for online. You may find that you're eligible for an academic scholarship if you're an outstanding student, or an athletic scholarship if you stand out on the playing field.

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws punishing undocumented workers and families in Arizona, Alabama and other states. It left local versions of the Secure Communities Act in place. A few other states order the police to detain people so immigration officials can review the case.
Some states and communities are proposing laws and rulings that favor undocumented Americans.
A bill in the California legislature would order local police departments to release people with no serious convictions even if federal officials want them detained. It is called the Trust Act. The individual may have to post a bond before release. If charged earlier with a crime, they must show their sentence was completed.
The Mayor of Los Angeles, police chiefs in Oakland, Palo Alto and elsewhere, California's Catholic bishops, other governments and immigrant supporters support the California bill.
The mayor of Chicago, in Cook County, Illinois wants a local law. The police would not hold undocumented workers if they have no serious criminal convictions or outstanding criminal warrants. Cook County has the same rule.
The mayor said the proposal was part of his goal to make Chicago the "most immigrant-friendly city in the country." A federal official says the Illinois rule was, "inconsistent with the terms of federal law."
A coalition of immigrant groups announced a national campaign to encourage more places to enact pro-immigrant rules. Supporters say the bill will restore minorities' trust in the communities and help fight crime.

Video: 'I'm the king of Manchester' - Eric Cantona welcomes Zlatan Ibrahimovic to United
Eric Cantona has made a generous offer and served up a hilarious warning to Zlatan Ibrahimovic following his move to Manchester United.
Sweden striker Ibrahimovic become one of Jose Mourinho's high profile arrivals following his appointment as United manager, with Old Trafford icon Cantona welcoming the move.
Frenchman Cantona was hailed as 'King Eric' during his time as United's No.7 and he expressed a hope that the new superstar at his old club will have just as big an impact.
Yet his platitudes to the 34-year-old hit-man came with a caveat, as he suggested his place as the favoured son of United supporters will not be snatched away.
"I have a personal message for Zlatan," declared Cantona in his final Euro 2016 video for Eurosport. "You have decided to go red. It is the best choice you ever made.
"When you walk into the Theatre of Dreams, when you feel the ghosts of the legends who have been here before, when you a goal in front of the Stretford End…you will know, my friend, that finally you made it home.
"But there can only be one King in Manchester. You can be the price. And the No.7 shirt is yours if you are interested. This is my welcome gift to you. The king is gone…long live the Prince!"
You can watch the brilliant video here and it is safe to say we will miss these Cantona clips now that Euro 2016 is coming to a conclusion.

Wall-E (U)
Director: Andrew Stanton
Cast: Ben Burtt, Sigourney Weaver, Jeff Garlin, Kathy Najimy
Running Time: 103 minutes
How do Pixar do it? They just keep raising that bar higher and higher. It's hard to say this is the best Pixar film to date as that's like asking which one is your favourite child?
I thought that Wall-E was going to be an amazing film, but never this good.
It's been 700 years since humans left the inhabitable earth on a giant spaceship called the Axiom, where every human now lives and does nothing…..literally.
For the first 40 minutes or so of the film, there are no dialogue parts, apart from the odd robot sounds, but this really adds to the cuteness and love-ability of Wall-E. He has a pet cockroach that goes everywhere with him during his day of tidying the mess left on earth by humans, and stacks it into skyscraper sized piles.
Every night he goes home to watch 'Hello Dolly'. It's from seeing Wall-E's attitude when watching the film, that you realise just how lonely he is and how much he wants to be with someone.
The main story starts when EVE's spaceship touches down on Earth. She has been sent to Earth to try and find sustainable life so that humans can one day come back to live.
Wall-E falls for her straight away and is continuously trying to impress EVE but to no avail. It's when he takes her home that you see a connection between them. There are some brilliant moments between the two. But just when they start to hit it off, Wall-E shows EVE a plant that he'd put in a boot, and this causes EVE to take the plant and shutdown awaiting her ship to pick her back up.
The ship arrives to take EVE back to the Axiom, but Wall-E doesn't want to lose her, so decides to hitch a ride clinging onto the side of the spaceship so that he can be with EVE.
On getting back to the Axiom is the first time that we see the humans, who have become fat, lazy slobs and move around on hover chairs and never walk anywhere.
They all have little screens in front of their faces advertising the latest liquid lunch, communicating with each other or finding out which coloured jump suits are in fashion. It's when EVE takes the plant to the ships captain that he realises that he has to take humans back to earth, as there is a chance for a new life. But he must first defeat the A.I that runs the ship, and take back control and return the human race back to their home world.
This core of the film is a gorgeous love story between the last robot on earth, Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) and EVE (Extra-Terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator).
His persistence with trying to be with EVE is endearing, and one of the best scenes of the film is when Wall-E is chasing EVE through space with a fire extinguisher. It really is a beautiful and touching moment.
You really fall for the characters and how Pixar have made robots seem more human than the humans is nothing short of amazing. Most of the time, you just want to pick Wall-E up and give him a huge hug because he is that loveable. There are some great moments with other robots on board the Axiom, including a smaller robot that has an obsession with cleaning.
The Captain of the Axiom is a great character, who on seeing the plant, falls in love with Earth and finds out everything he can about it and realises what he must do.
The magic of Pixar is ever present through the whole of this film, and will have you smiling from start to finish. There are the usual slapstick moments throughout that will keep the kids happy and entertained, but there are definitely more things in here for grown ups.
Pixar have really launched a huge attack on corporate greed, and it's done brilliantly. It shows all humans care about are the materialistic things that they have to have had yesterday and how nobody realises what's in front of them anymore. Also this is the first time that Pixar have used live action footage in their films. It's only a small amount but it's added in well.
Words cannot describe how much I loved Wall-E. I just can't do it justice by writing about it. You really have to go and see just how magical this really is. Just pure genius!

IT security and control firm Sophos today announced the
availability of a new podcast discussing the Sophos
Security Threat Report July 2008.
Sophos has published new research into the first six months of
cybercrime in 2008. The Sophos Security Threat Report examines
existing and emerging security trends and has identified that
criminals are increasingly using creative new techniques in their
attempt to make money out of internet users.
It is estimated that the total amount of malware in existence
now exceeds 11 million, with Sophos currently receiving
approximately 20,000 new samples of suspicious software every
single day - one every four seconds.
In the podcast, Graham Cluley senior
technology consultant at Sophos, is interviewed by Carole
Theriault, host of the Sophos podcasts, offering listeners a
snapshot of the latest findings in the report.
"Some of the tactics malware authors and spammers are employing
to bypass traditional methods of protection are unprecedented,"
said Carole Theriault. "With more high-profile websites being
exploited and more non-Windows platforms being targeted, this
podcast aims to educate users on what is going on, so they can
ensure they are sufficiently protected."
All Sophos podcasts are available for
download. Previous podcasts have covered topics such as the
of social networking sites, virtualization,
testing, and rootkits.
More than 100 million users in 150 countries rely on Sophos' complete security solutions as the best protection against complex threats and data loss. Simple to deploy, manage, and use, Sophos' award-winning encryption, endpoint security, web, email, mobile and network security solutions are backed by SophosLabs - a global network of threat intelligence centers. Sophos is headquartered in Oxford, U.K., and is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange under the symbol "SOPH." More information is available at www.sophos.com/company.

Often times, you hear someone say that they want a sweet sensitive guy, but then they go after the very masculine, 'never show emotion' type. One (a couple actually) of my girlfriends say that they just want a guy who cares about her, and they really believe it, or maybe they just want to believe it, but they reject the nice guys who do really care.
in my opinion most people think they know what they want, when they really have no idea. Do you agree?

I guess that's why the saying goes about not judging a book by it's cover.
I have lusted over guys, been out with them, and couldn't wait for the evening to be over. :(
Other times I felt like "oh well" , and had a great time. :)
Weird for sure.

Nov 12
Every subject is really two subjects – what is wanted and what is not wanted. Today is a perfect day to see and experience this. Yesterday, U.S. citizens exercised our right to vote and today we are experiencing the results. I thought it would be fun to play with this a little as there is much to be experienced from a 'Come to the Edge Today' point of view!
If you are feeling jubilant about the outcome of the election, perhaps you feel like this Cockatoo (watch video below now)
If you are not pleased with the outcome, perhaps you feel like this Ibex (watch video below now)
(Over the span of my voting career, I have felt like both of these wonderful creatures!)
Today, I want to playfully offer some ideas for really living this experience and growing from it.
Today's "leaping exercise" If you are feeling hope and joy and elation, NOW is a great time to 'milk' it and increase your vibration and good feelings! For fun, watch the video again and dance with this darling bird! Then, make a list of 10 things you are hopeful, joyful and elated about (it can be about the election or about any subject). The point is to 'milk' feeling good. Why? Because, we get the essence of what we think (and feel) – so, if we are feeling good and deliberately focus on better feeling thoughts, more good thoughts will come which will lead to better life experiences (that's the way it works, so might as well be deliberate about it)!
If you are feeling somewhat like the Ibex today, this is ok too. When I feel this way, I give myself permission to 'get it out' and sulk and be crabby. I give myself, for example, an hour or a day to get it out, knowing that once I do, I can refocus and move on. So, for fun, play back the video and pretend you are the Ibex reacting to the outcome of the election.
Now, here is the really great part – if you want to feel better NOW, you can! Even though you are disappointed and perhaps fearful or resigned (or whatever you are feeling), you can refocus to feel better NOW! Will you be dancing like the Cockatoo in 5 minutes? No, but you can feel better than you do right now.
How to do this? By refocusing using 'general' thoughts. Simply, they are thoughts that are general in nature – they are not specific. It's THE best place to begin to feel better. How to be general on any topic?
1. Stay general in your thoughts when feeling bad – it will help turn your thoughts around, little by little. Getting too specific with your thoughts when feeling down will just make it worse. Following are some examples of 'general' thoughts surrounding the election. As you read them, feel if any of them give you some relief. Then, build upon those that give you relief. General thought examples:
- "I like living in the U.S. where each citizen has a right to vote"
- "I am glad I voted"
- "I know that Americans want the best for the country"
- "Some years my candidates win and other years they do not…I know that this process has been in existence for 236 years. It's a good system."
- "Progress seems slow, but over time, I notice that we learn and grow as individuals and citizens"
Write 10 statements of your own that are general in nature, feeling for the thoughts that give you relief. Feel the relief of them. Focus on these thoughts and allow other 'downstream' thoughts come to you. See what happens!
2. I suggest a 4 minute process (which can be used around any subject), called "The Focus Wheel" process. Click the link for a video on how to use this powerful process.
No matter how you are feeling now, choose to feel better, find thoughts that give your relief and the magic of the Universe will deliver more than you can imagine!
Oh, the freedom of choice! – Joan Kappes

text: Accidents involving motor vehicles are among the most common causes of serious injury and death in the United States each year. Despite the advancements in technology and significant safety improvements in cars and in the design of roads, automobile accidents remain quite common. In fact, car accident claims and lawsuits are probably the most common type of civil tort case filed by attorneys today. It is important to note that not every car accident will result in litigation. Where nobody is injured or the injuries are not considered serious, the No-Fault laws of New York will generally govern any bodily injury claims and restrict recovery. Conversely, the more serious the injury that results from a car accident, the more likely it is that a successful recovery can be obtained.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With great regret, Barrett-Jackson today announced the retirement of Gary Bennett, Vice President of Consignment at Barrett-Jackson.
After being introduced to Russ and Nellie Jackson at the company's inaugural event in 1971, Gary became a regular bidder and consignor at Barrett-Jackson auctions. In 1995, Craig Jackson took the reins of the company after the passing of his father Russ and brother Brian. Gary, along with Steve Davis (now the company president) approached Craig to ask if they could help.
Gary assisted Craig with special projects for the next seven years and officially joined the company in 2002. His contributions to the success of the collector car auction company are immeasurable. His many years of collector car expertise and his ability to make anyone feel part of the Barrett-Jackson family were invaluable in the day-to-day operations of the company.
"Gary has been an integral part of the Barrett-Jackson team since the beginning and became a dear friend to my family," said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. "His passion for the collector car industry is undeniable. Gary's presence around the office and on our auction block will be greatly missed. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with him and consider him a great friend."
Gary has been involved in the automotive industry throughout his professional career, including the restoration, aftermarket and design fields – and, having been an avid race car driver himself, was no stranger at racetracks throughout the United States. He was instrumental in helping Barrett-Jackson refine the consignment team and helped bring together a team of automotive experts to assist at the auctions.
"Gary's contribution to the success of Barrett-Jackson has been invaluable," said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. "His knowledge, experience and sincerity made him a very special guy. He will be missed by the entire Barrett-Jackson family."
"It's been an amazing journey, and I've cherished every moment of it," said Gary Bennett. "I deeply appreciate the opportunity to have helped shape the collector car hobby as part of the Barrett-Jackson team. Though I enjoyed the energy and excitement of the auction block, the deep friendships forged over the years were the most important part of my time at Barrett-Jackson. While I've retired from the business, I plan on continuing those relationships at future Barrett-Jackson events."
The Barrett-Jackson team is very appreciative of his tireless efforts, unconditional commitment and dedication throughout the years. Everyone wishes him the very best in his retirement.

I'm black with no booty.
According to my mom, it will take 3 kids, another decade, and consuming a megaton of plantains and beans for me to get her awe worthy back end.
For all my fellow small booty chicks, this is for you…
Your skirt rides up your back because you don't have enough booty fat to hold the skirt snugly in place
Tights don't look good on you
White guys holler at ya
You only have to rub the glory hole once after you take a dump
Your nickname is "bonecrusher" because when you sit on someone's lap it hurts you and the victim
Your ass is blue after a cold day
There are no vibrations, trumpet or zipper sounds when you fart
You are mistaken for a butch from the back
You have to poke two new holes in your belt
Your starch-stiff pants look like granny's drawstring bottoms from tightening up that belt
There is a special fit of pants made just for you-
"the diaper fit"
Men get quiet when when you walk away

Adult Learner Tutoring Services
Do you need a tutor?
The Adult Learner Services Program offers free, basic educational services for adults who for various reasons can not attend our regular classes but might benefit from one-on-one help. To enroll, our coordinator sets up an appointment that includes an assessment and help with goal setting. The person is then matched with a trained volunteer tutor. The pair meets for 2-4 hours per week at a mutually convenient time and place. All materials and on-going support are provided.
Volunteer tutors need no previous experience but are required to:
- Attend 3 three-hour workshops.
- Additional inservice workshops are provided throughout the year.
- Work with an adult learner for 2-4 hours per week for at least 6 months.
- Maintain communication with the coordinator via phone calls or email and submit quarterly reports that log contact hours and progress towards
the student's goals
Success Story
Thomas M. had several "false starts" on the road to getting his GED through Second Start. He battled depressive illness, transportation and childcare barriers, financial problems and a learning disability. The flexibility of the adult education program schedule gave Thomas a way to take time out when he needed it, and to re-enroll during better times. He worked with determination and began to pass the 5 parts of the GED test, one at a time. Through the Adult Learner Services program, Thomas was matched with a trained volunteer tutor who helped him prepare for the final section of the exam, and he passed the GED just before Christmas. At graduation that year, Thomas spoke with pride about his accomplishments and expressed gratitude to the people and supporting agencies that were there when he needed them most.

Maine man gets 3 years for stealing VA benefits
BANGOR, Maine — A Maine man has been sentenced to three years in prison for fraudulently obtaining veterans' disability benefits from the federal government.
Richard Ramsdell Jr. of Cutler was also ordered Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Bangor to pay almost $143,000 in restitution to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Ramsdell had pleaded guilty in January.
Prosecutors say the 38-year-old Ramsdell obtained VA benefits by falsely claiming to be unemployed and unable to work because of his back and mental condition.

The England selectors announced this morning that 11 players have been awarded lucrative central contracts believed to be worth between £150,000 to £500,000.
Graeme Swann, Graham Onions and Matt Prior have received their first ECB deals but Jonathan Trott, despite his match winning hundred in the final Ashes Test, has only been awarded an incremental contract.
Geoff Miller, the national selector, said: "Central contracts are designed to reward players who perform well consistently for England and all three have made very significant contributions to the team's recent success in regaining the Ashes and beating the West Indies at home in both Test and one-day series.
"Following his retirement from Test cricket, Andrew Flintoff, is no longer eligible for a 12-month central contract. The decision to award an incremental contract to Andrew reflects our view that he will still have an important role to play in our one-day side going forward and we wish him well with his rehabilitation from injury. As we saw in this summer's Npower Ashes series, he remains a world class talent."
Despite Miller's words it remains to be seen if Flintoff will accept the incremental contract which is believed to be worth a fraction of what Flintoff would have received from a central contract.
The ECB would still retain control over Flintoff's career and he may feel he is better off cashing on the IPL and other Twenty20 leagues that could spring up around the world over the next few years.
Central contracts were first introduced in 2002-03 and are paid in three different salary bands which are not disclosed.
Last year it took months for the England players to sign their contracts due to wrangles over their availability for the IPL.
Central contracts: James Anderson, Ian Bell, Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood, Alastair Cook, Graham Onions, Kevin Pietersen, Matt Prior, Ryan Sidebottom, Andrew Strauss and Graeme Swann.
Incremental: Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Andrew Flintoff, Adil Rashid, Owais Shah, Jonathan Trott and Luke Wright.

H.1; Taylor, D.2; Meeks, G.2Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery: March-April 2010 - Volume 16 - Issue 2 - p S5 doi: 10.1097/SPV.0b013e3181d8fd32 SGS Abstracts Author Information Article Outline 1Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA; 2Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Mississippi School of Medicine, Jackson, MS DISCLOSURE OF RELEVANT FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS: None. OBJECTIVES: MATERIALS AND METHODS RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Back to Top | Article Outline OBJECTIVES: To evaluate factors associated with the development of vesicovaginal fistula following a cystotomy during benign hysterectomy at two large university settings. Back to Top | Article Outline MATERIALS AND METHODS Charts from all hysterectomies performed for benign indications at Grady Memorial Hospital and the University of Mississippi Medical Center between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2008 were reviewed. Demographic and operative data were abstracted. Cystotomies were scored using the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading system for iatrogenic bladder injuries. Cases were patients who developed a vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) following cystotomy while patients who had a bladder injury without development of a VVF served as the controls. The Fisher's exact test was used to analyze categorical variables while the Student's t-test was used for continuous variables. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for risk factors. Back to Top | Article Outline RESULTS: During the study period, 5786 hysterectomies were performed for benign indications at the two study centers. Of these, 59% were abdominal, 34% vaginal and 7% were laparoscopic assisted hysterectomies. A total of 90 (1.6%) cystotomies occurred. Vesicovaginal fistulas developed in seven (7.8%) patients. No significant differences in age, parity, weight or ethnicity were identified between those developing a VVF and those who did not. No significant differences in the rate of tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes, prior Cesarean delivery, prior sexually transmitted infections, pelvic adhesive disease or prior pelvic surgeries were seen. The route or indication for hysterectomy did not differ between the groups. The mean uterine weight and operative blood loss did not differ between the groups, however, patients who developed a VVF were more likely to have a uterus that weighed more than 250 g (83% vs 36%, P = 0.03) and a trend towards an operative blood loss of greater than 1000 mL (67% vs 27%, P = 0.06). Patients who developed a VVF had longer operative time (317 ± 82 vs 206 ± 10 minutes, P = 0.02) and were more likely to have an associated ureteral injury (29% vs 1%, P = 0.02). An AAST Grade V bladder injury (OR: 30.80, 95% CI: 4.50–210.79) and one layer repair of the bladder (OR: 7.20, 95% CI: 1.05–49.32) were associated with VVF formation. Back to Top | Article Outline CONCLUSION: Patients with an AAST Grade V bladder injury or those whose bladder is repaired in a single layer are at increased risk for developing a vesicovaginal fistula following a cystotomy during a hysterectomy performed for benign indications.Keywords:Hysterectomy; Cystotomy; Vesicovaginal fistula © 2010 by Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

Renwick Gallery - American Crafts
March is
National Craft Month. To expand your idea of what "craft"
means, visit the Renwick
Gallery, a division of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Exhibiting
the finest work in American craft, this gallery houses stunning works
of true craftsmen and craftswomen.
History of the Renwick Gallery
The Renwick Gallery building was constructed in 1858 to house the art collection of William Wilson Corcoran, a prominent D.C. banker. The building became Washington D.C.'s first art museum. During the Civil War, the building was used to dispense Union Army uniforms. By 1897, Corcoran's collection had outgrown its current location and moved. The site then became the U.S. Court of Claims. In 1965, the building was transferred to the Smithsonian and was named the "Renwick Gallery" in honor of the original architect. The Renwick was opened to the public in 1972.
What to See and Do at the Renwick
The Renwick Gallery building itself is a work of excellent craftsmanship. The beautiful brick exterior is complemented inside by intricate carvings, lovely chandeliers, a stately staircase, and its Grand Salon and Octagon Room.
The first floor hosts special exhibitions of modern American craft and decorative arts. The top of the staircase is met by the Grand Salon, decorated in High Victorian Style. This room is home to sculpture and paintings from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It is also used for special events such as lectures, receptions, and concerts. The remaining second floor rooms display various items from the permanent collection. Glass, metal, wood, fabrics, and clay are all in view.
How to Get There, Where to Park, Etc.
The Renwick Gallery is located on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street, NW, close to the White House. The closest Metro stop is Farragut West (orange/blue lines).
The Renwick is open every day (except Dec. 25) from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Visit the Smithsonian Art Museum web site for more information.

DENVER — Every year camp invites provide intrigue, either with a familar veteran name or hyped prospect. In pitcher Jamie Moyer and third baseman Nolan Arenado, the Rockies will have both when spring training opens this month in Scottsdale. Moyer is attempting a comeback at 49 years old. According to ESPN, if he makes the team, Moyer will become only the second non-knuckleballer in history to throw a pitch at age 49 or older. Moyer, who missed last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, said recently on MLBRadio that he's throwing as well as he was in 2009 with the Phillies. The key to his bid will be adequate fastball velocity to set up his trademark changeup. Arenado is 20 years old. He's the club's most hyped position prospect since Troy Tulowitzki. Arenado spent a chunk of winter working out with the all-star shortstop in Las Vegas.
