5 for Leadership (8/31/13)
Here is a fresh set of 5 leadership posts from the blogosphere this past week. There are thoughts on our 2nd U.S. president, the seduction of charisma, leadership selflessness, thinking tools for team leadership, and authentic leadership. Take a few minutes and find something that is perfect for you.
4 Design Thinking Tools For Engaging Your Team "Applying the tools of design thinking to help your team conquer its goals doesn't mean hunkering down on your own with an org chart in a dimly lit office to devise the perfect execution strategy. Design thinking is about engaging with your team at its most fundamental levels." This post by Andrew King provides us with four proven ways to harness some great creativity with your team.
Leadership As Selflessness This post was found on the Great Leadership blog and is a guest post by Al Gini and Ronald Green. "(Nelson) Mandela is clearly one of the great leaders of our time. His example convinces us that ethical leaders display deep selflessness and an absence of the two deadliest of Pope Gregory the Great's "seven deadly sins" – pride and envy." Gini and Green help us better consider these leadership obstacles.
Overcoming The Seduction of Charisma This post comes from the Leadership Freak. "Charismatic leaders are bigger than life. You aren't one of them. Very few leaders move people through charisma, personality, and up front skills. It's not likely you have enough charisma to lead through charisma." Dan Rockwell goes on to affirm that great leaders create new leaders and gives us some solid questions and tips to get there.
12 Leadership Qualities Of An Often Overlooked President Mike Myatt does a wonderful job of listing 12 aspects of John Adams' presidency that provide us with a leadership to emulate. Myatt provides us with some of his thoughts on the importance of Adams, "John Adams was a leader from whom we all have much to learn. Adams was an amazing man who maximized his time on this earth."
7 Ways To Remain An Authentic Leader This final post come by way of Ron Edmondson. "It has been well documented that today's culture craves authenticity in leadership. One of the fastest way for a leader to lose loyal followers is to fall short in the area of authenticity." Check out what Ron has to say about establishing and maintaining a base of authenticity.
There are the 5 for this final week of August. I hope all of my U.S. readers enjoy this Labor Day weekend!

Even with the economy having recovered from the recession in 2008, investing in a mortgage can still be a very risky option. As an alternative, many are looking to the convenience of the best apartments they can find; with the many available in options in luxury apartment rental a great opportunity might be (literally) just around the corner.

Goldman Sachs always has clout in Washington, as evidenced by the firm's alumni serving as Treasury secretaries under both Presidents Bush and Clinton. Today, in these tumultuous times of bailouts and meltdowns when the investment banking leviathan needs Washington more than ever before, Goldman can leverage its most valuable asset yet—incoming White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
Goldman Sachs is the giant of Wall Street, and more than any other investment bank, Goldman is surviving the current financial storm. Traditionally a Democratic booster, and one of Barack Obama's top sources of funds in this past election, Goldman has always had some particularly strong allies within government. Emanuel is one such ally.
An interesting early chapter in the Goldman-Emanuel relationship took place in the setting of Bill Clinton's campaign for the White House in 1992. Clinton hired Emanuel as his chief fundraiser.
At the same time, however, Emanuel was on the payroll of Goldman Sachs, receiving $3,000 per month from the firm to "introduce us to people," in the words of one Goldman partner at the time. This is certainly a noteworthy relationship, but it's one that has almost entirely escaped scrutiny.
Corporations and partnerships are and were at the time prohibited by law from contributing to federal candidates out of the corporate coffers. So, while Rahm tapped Goldman employees personally for six figures in gifts to Clinton's candidacy—more than any other firm—Goldman, as a company, was helping keep Clinton's top fundraiser well-fed.
When you look at the explanations Goldman and Emanuel gave for Emanuel's employment—he was advising on "local political races" or "introduc[ing] us to people"—it's easy to suspect that Goldman was using firm money to fund the Clinton campaign by paying the campaign's top fundraiser for nebulous "consulting" work—all while the campaign was in debt and delaying paychecks to campaign staff.
You can run a campaign on the cheap if you can get big corporations to pay some of your staff's salary for you. This isn't a far-fetched theory, especially considering the slew of fundraising irregularities the Federal Election Commission noted in Emanuel's fundraising efforts for Clinton.
A Washington Post article from the era reports that FEC auditors "found that nine companies or individuals, including Goldman Sachs & Co.—where Clinton fund-raisers and officials Robert E. Rubin and Kenneth D. Brody worked … were paid $246,162 by the primary committee for work at discounted rates. Normally, companies have to charge campaigns the same rates they would other customers."
So, Goldman may have been funneling money to Clinton's campaign through the back door (Emanuel's retainer and those discounts the FEC noted), and the front door. By March of 1992, the heart of that dramatic primary season, Goldman partners had sent $54,000 to the Clinton campaign.
They would contribute another $50,000, making the firm the top source of funds for Clinton's election, and contemporaneous media credit Emanuel, together with Robert Rubin, with this tight relationship.
In his four terms in Congress, Emanuel has raised $74,750 from Goldman, making the firm his number four source of funds. Goldman has helped Emanuel. How has Emanuel helped Goldman?
The most obvious answer, as mentioned in this column two weeks ago, is in Emanuel's lead role in shepherding the "$700 billion" bailout—first proposed by former a Goldman CEO, Bush Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson—through the skeptical House.
Of course, back in the Clinton days, Goldman benefited from NAFTA and the bailout of the Mexican currency, with Emanuel pushing NAFTA through Congress, and Rubin hammering out the peso bailout.
Did Goldman improperly funnel money to the Clinton campaign by subsidizing Emanuel's salary in 1992? Did Goldman's help to Clinton spur the Democratic president to push NAFTA and the Mexican bailout?
The answers to these questions are opaque, and with Emanuel burrowed deep within the Obama White House, the continued relationship between Goldman Sachs and Obama's right hand man won't be easy to follow.
Watch which regulations of Wall Street Obama fights for. Watch where the bailout money goes. And don't be surprised Goldman soon sitting pretty once again.

Mid Game Purcheses
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
First I have to say that this is NOT a troll build. This strategy works, and coupled with some of the tweaks from recent patches has made ADC TF viable once again. The change to his passive being the most dramatic. Loaded Dice now makes TF's income level insane. If you are lanning against an opponent adc who has the same cs (Creep Score) as you, it means that you are Winning the lane. More gold equals more power.
Another thing that they recently reworked is TF's Pick A Card ability that now includes an additional 1 for 1 ratio of atk damage to every card. Meaning that when you use your Pick A Card ability, you get your normal dmg + additional dmg + normal dmg again. Not a huge difference, but it does make an impact.
The play style of TF is a very dualist way of engaging. The idea being that in the early game you are dependent on his Stacked Deck ability to increase his attack speed and make it harder for the enemy to take you on one v one. In fact with his passive, all you need to do in the early game is kill creep and try not to be aggressive. Poke with your cards, but wait (if possible) till you gain a B. F. Sword. This item is EXTREMELY Important. You need this to do real damage. It must be the first item you buy when you go back. After you get it, engagement will be easily done with some practice.
Late game for him needs a few items like Sword of the Divine and Blade of the Ruined King for the combo to work. If you hit with your Yellow Stun card from Pick A Card and activate the Sword of the Divine attack 3 times, the enemy will be dead if not, use the Blade of the Ruined King. Only the tankiest characters will be able to survive this combo. In addition the slow effect from BoRK will allow you to make sure they won't be able to get away should they survive.
Gold is everything to this build. You will find it will take around 17k-18k to finish your build. This isn't a real problem thanks to his improved passive and Avarice Blade gaining you all sorts of money in your pockets. Though it means that you must always be conscious of gaining more and more cs. You cannot ever have too much gold.
Another point of using TF is that you interestingly enough never have to worry about mana at all. Thanks to his Pick A Card and picking a blue card you gain a lot of sustain in the early game in addition to the life steal runes.
I am still in the process of making this guide. So I will be updating this as much as I can.
Ok so for runes, there isn't a whole lot to talk about here. Pretty self explanatory general ADC runes. Life steal quints for that early game sustain that improves all the way into late game. Armor Seals for early game armor vs the enemy adc. Scaling MR glyphs because you won't have to deal with heavy ap till mid to late game. Then you have the atk marks that give you a better damage output early game.
Skill Sequence
First you may note that I have not even bothered taking Wild Cards till late in the game. This is because as an ADC you don't have any scaling with that ability at all. This makes it pretty useless early game, and late game its almost decent harass (most people dodge it still).
Instead you need to max out Stacked Deck as soon as possible because its passive gives you a big advantage on adcs that don't go back to base to "refit" their items and try to out sustain you. It also a whooping 30% increase to your atk speed when maxed. For an adc, this is game changing and shores up any weakness you have for not being "built" for bot lane. As an added bonus every 4 shots lets you do bonus damage that will help you poke your opponent, or help with the timing of your farm.
You do however still need to take Pick A Card first for that stun, slow, or mana generation. It's just all around good utilty in one abilty. Plus you have that increase in damage based on your atk when you use it now.

MacBook Pro 13" Retina Force Touch trackpad: Not what you expect. After Apple's surprise announcement of the new 12" MacBook, with its shiny renders and proudly touted pressure sensitive, haptic-feedback-equipped trackpad, we were expecting to find an identical trackpad implementation in the new MacBook Pro 13" Retina. And we were surprised. While the MacBook-to-be looks like it's going to feature a weight-saving "I" shape, with the four springy force sensors jutting out from a central beam, our teardown revealed that the new 13" Pro's implementation is quite different: A solid aluminum plate, with four springs punched out of it. Heavier and beefier, and perhaps technologically completely different—we'll just have to wait for the MacBook's release to see.
Due to the gluey mess of a battery, soldered RAM, and other proprietary problems, the MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 scrapes the bottom of the barrel with a 1 out of 10 on the repair scale.
Oh, and we have a puppy. His name is Gus. We love him.
Teardown Highlights:
• Apple's "Taptic Engine" is powered by an array of electromagnets that rapidly push and pull against a metal rail mounted beneath the trackpad, to create a tiny "buzz" of feedback with each click (and a second buzz for a "force click").
• Based on the wiggly pattern of traces stuck to the metal tabs, we're pretty sure the magic pressure sensors in the new Force Touch trackpad are tiny strain gauges. Mounted on flexing metal supports, they detect the amount of flex on each—and based on that, the force from above.
• This looks familiar... The all-new and twice-as-fast flash memory has the exact same ICs as the one found in our recent teardown of the MacBook Air 13".

Just as the Bush Syndicate went after the rights of public unions following Bush's re-election in 2004, several republican state governors are now going after the collective bargaining rights of public unions following the November 2010 elections, when many states' governments turned more republican.
Their strategy is clear (though their mission is more covert): State public unions are primarily governed by state law, while private sector unions are primarily subject to federal law. If the conservative Tea-Bagger governors can decimate the public sector unions state by state, then private sector unions are easier to challenge. They'll simply claim that their actions are solely directed at stopping the financial bleeding in their states. They'll insist that the public sector unions, with their collective bargaining rights, have caused their state budget deficits.
Only those who have no knowledge of union-management interaction could believe such utter tripe. Unions sit across the negotiating table from management/owners/state negotiators whenever negotiations are conducted. If the management/owners/state negotiators give away too much during the give and take of robust negotiations (which they sometimes do), the fault lies with the management/owners/state negotiators, not of the union negotiators, whose known role is to achieve the best possible deal for the union membership they represent. Conversely,the state negotiators' role is to yield as little as possible and to take back whatever they can.
One exception to this basic union-management axiom is when the company/state/economic entity is in severe economic distress. At those times it is incumbent upon the company/state/economic entity to reveal the true data about the economic situation. Then it is incumbent upon the union to agree to give back whatever previously-won benefits are required to ensure the survival of the company/state/economic entity. This is exactly what occurred between the airline industry and the unions representing pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, baggage handlers, etc., after the post-9-11 airline passenger downturn. Pensions, benefits, salaries and so forth were all subject to union "give-backs" because the unions understood that economic failure of the the airline companies meant lose of their memberships' employment.
Unfortunately for the public sector state unions such as those in Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana, the switch to republican-dominated legislatures and governorships has resulted in plans that are far more ominous, insidious and ulterior than simple budget-deficit-reduction.
The brutal reality is that these states are the test sites for a more coordinated Tea-Bagger effort to defund the Democratic party. How, you may ask…?
It's simple, really. Conservatives receive the bulk of their political campaign funding from big business, corporate American, Wall Street players, millionaires and billionaires, and others with a vested interest in being allowed to do whatever they want to whomever they want whenever they want, without government interference, oversight or intervention. For instance, the billionaire Koch brothers, who seem to fancy the republican party as they own "hit team", have bankrolled the republican party to the tune of billions of dollars. They would like nothing more than for every union and every government regulation on business to disappear. They generously fund the campaigns of those who see what they see and believe what they believe.
The democratic party is the antithesis of that. Democrats support the middle class over big business and Wall Street's corporate America. As a result, a large part of their political funding comes from the nation's unions.
Tea-Baggers figure: If we should down the unions, we shut down a major political funding source for those liberal democrats. And what better way to shut down unions than to take away their reason for existence: To negotiate benefits for the workers? After all, who's going to join a union that has no purpose?
To that end, Tea-Bagger Wisconsin governor Scott Walker has become the GOP point-man in the effort to bankrupt the democratic campaign treasury. Walker and his newly republican-controlled state legislature want to eliminate the Wisconsin budget deficit by having the unionized state employees pay more into their pension funds and health insurance. That's pretty fair, and in fact the union has already agreed to that. But Walker wants much more. He want to render the state union impotent by eliminating their collective bargaining rights in perpetuity. If he can make this happen, he'll be the darling of the ultra-extreme-right wing of the GOP, and possibly GOP presidential nominee someday.
In response, Wisconsin's democratic legislators have left the state, preventing the state senate from achieving a quorum required for business. So Walker has threatened a state-wide public employee. And this scenario is now repeating in Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. The showdown is coming, folks.
A bit of perspective: Unions stopped child labor, sweat shops, unsafe working conditions, 16-hour work days and 7-day workweeks, abusive owner/management/state/entity practices against employees, and caused establishment of the minimum wage. Without unions, greed is the only motivator.
If the issue is money, then owner/management/state/entity should come to the table in good faith and provide data to back their positions. And if the union agrees to a give-back, how does management still insist upon destroying all future collective bargaining?
Where's the good faith in that?

Carisbrooke Shipping Chooses Thordon Bearings
Eco-conscious Carisbrooke opts for seawater lubricated propeller shaft bearings on latest newbuildings.
The Vectis Eagle, an 8500 dwt multi-purpose dry cargo vessel, is Carisbrooke Shipping's latest newbuild and first of their fleet to be fitted with Thordon COMPAC seawater lubricated propeller shaft bearings. The Finnish/Swedish 1A Ice-Class vessel launched in September 2011 and is currently carrying out its maiden voyage through the Panama Canal travelling from China to Haiti and Brazil. Constructed at the Chinese shipyard, Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Ltd., the vessel is the first of four to specify seawater lubrication instead of oil.
The Vectis Eagle has a single tapered key COMPAC bearing design with a shaft size of 470 mm. The tapered key design allows for removal, inspection and re-insertion of the bearings without shaft withdrawal. Thordon COMPAC seawater lubricated propeller shaft bearings completely eliminate the risk of oil discharges from the stern tube. Seawater is used as lubrication instead of oil and is taken from the sea, pumped through the bearings and returned back to the sea. There is no risk of damage to an aft seal by a fishing net or rope as there is no aft seal. This results in lower in-service maintenance costs and the elimination of storage, sampling and disposal of oil from the stern tube.
The pollution of the world's oceans and seas has become a matter of increasing international concern for many. As stricter environmental legislation and improved pollution detection methods are becoming the norm in Canada, the United States of America and the European Union, ship owners like Carisbrooke Shipping Ltd. are looking for new ways to reduce all sources of pollution from their ships. Choosing seawater lubricated propeller shaft bearings is just one of the ways ship owners can ensure future compliance with any pending zero discharge legislation.
The Vectis Eagle is characterized by its extremely high bow and versatile single cargo hold making it currently the longest cargo space amongst its vessel class. Carisbrooke expects up to 30% reduction in fuel consumption compared to vessels of equal tonnage due to its large diameter propeller and high efficiency nozzle. The ship's design below the waterline is hydro-dynamically optimized to further reduce drag and allow better water flow to the propeller. Careful selection of all chemicals used onboard has been made to ensure the least impact to the environment as possible.
Thordon Bearings Inc. is the leading manufacturer of seawater lubricated stern tube bearings, grease free rudder and deck equipment bearings and other shaftline products for the global marine market. Thordon Bearings has a worldwide customer service network in over 100 countries.

In Lent – the Christian community is observing Lent at the moment – one of the tasks of the faithful is to realign themselves with G-d, with the sacred within, with the sacred in the earth, and the sacred in creatures of other species. One of the essential tasks is to realign our eyes to see with G-d's eyes so that we recognize the divine in places and people far beyond our familiar expectations and experiences. One of the essential tasks is to realign our ears to listen with G-d's compassionate wisdom so that we hear where the universe is groaning in pain or sorrow, or panting with the hard labor of bringing something new to birth.
One of the essential tasks is to be midwives, actively aiding and welcoming fresh expressions of life (in ourselves, in others, in the environment, in the evolving structures of our many and various cultures) as the divine seeks always new and abundant ways of revealing holiness in the universe. And part of the fruitful accomplishment of that task is the expansion of our hearts and minds and spirits to embrace and welcome that which is (in fact) new, that which is perhaps strange, that which is certainly unfamiliar, that which is "not us."
Midwifing the "not us" involves opening our arms, our hearts, our minds, our hopes to diversity way outside our comfort zones. Realigning ourselves with the sacred involves accepting that holiness is far bigger than the boundaries of a single body, or a single sect, or a single religious identity. Perhaps, to accept — even to cultivate — diversity in an intentional way, we might, like the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, need to practice believing one or more impossible things before breakfast every day. If you are like me, one of those impossible things can be the shocking idea that someone else might be perceiving a truth with which I don't happen to agree.
And if I am willing to risk believing that, maybe I could risk believing that there might be truth in what we each believe. Maybe both ideas are valid. Maybe one idea is dependent on the other. . .or both are intricately interwoven with a third. Maybe even the shadows are important. After all, as someone wiser than I once said, "Without the dark, we cannot see the stars." Maybe G-d is unfolding in the diversity. Not in my thought or perspective; not in yours, but in the space we allow and nurture with respectful care between us where wild new possibilities dance together and fall in love.
This week, could we consider the challenging question: What blessing is waiting to be born between my heart and the heart of the person I find it most difficult to love at the moment?
Could we consider how we hold ambiguity with joy and wonder, rather than rushing to make choices that are only partial?
Could we wonder how we learn to welcome with giddy delight uncomfortable and unfamiliar thoughts and ideas and dreams that bubble up in our own hearts, nudging us to try strange things, or love people who may not love us back?
Could we try to get our minds around the question, How do we cherish the diversity of every created being we meet?[And before we say we can't, remember that we are practicing believing impossible things!]
What if the impossible is totally possible? What then? Could we pray that we will never be content to stop at what appears predictably possible?

Sales of new cars and trucks in Australia rose five per cent in October, as the industry bounced back from a mid-year slump.
In its VFACTS sales bulletin, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) said 79,930 vehicles were sold last month compared to 76,118 in October last year.
The result took total sales for the year to 802,306, 2.8 per cent below the year-to-date figure at the same time in 2005.
But FCAI chief executive Peter Sturrock said confidence was rising and the industry expected to post strong sales in November and December.
"The October result suggests that the motor vehicle market may be pulling out of the slight decline of results in recent months and tallies with our prediction of a stronger fourth quarter following important new model releases," Mr Sturrock said.
"The large car segment is starting to feel the positive effect of the new Holden Commodore and the industry looks forward to the segment receiving a further boost this month when the new Toyota Aurion goes on sale.
"A rise of 11.3 per cent in sports utility vehicle (SUV) sales last month also suggests that some consumers may have set aside their concerns about the petrol price spike that occurred over winter."
The FCAI said its full-year sales forecast remained stable at 970,000 about 15,000 below last year's record result.
But it said sales and marketing efforts by car companies would be intense from now until Christmas.
"Last week's opening of the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney began an intense period of sales and marketing activity running up to Christmas and we believe that November and December sales will be strong," Mr Sturrock said.
Toyota was the top selling company with 18,589 vehicles in October, well ahead of Holden on 12,779 and Ford on 8,691.
Year-to-date Toyota was also showing its rivals no mercy with 175,953 vehicles compared to 122,144 for Holden, the margin ensuring the Melbourne-based manufacturer of market leadership in 2006.
The Holden Commodore was the top selling car last month with 5,455 retailed, well ahead of the 4,906 sold in the same month last year.
After initial concerns the new VE model was not proving as popular with buyers as the company would have liked, Holden said the car had its best monthly result for 2006.
Other top selling vehicles included the Toyota Corolla (3,722), Toyota Camry (3,205), Ford Falcon (2,945), Toyota Yaris (2,858), Mazda 3 (2,585), Hyundai Getz (1,594), Ford Focus (1,584), Holden Astra (1,575) and the Toyota HiLux 4x4 (1,457).

Van Steen brings out the very best in orchestra
Ulster Orchestra, Ulster Hall, Belfast
The principal guest conductor of the Ulster Orchestra, Jac van Steen, made a welcome return to the Ulster Hall on Friday with music by English composers.
Film buffs will have been aware of William Walton's iconic Suite from Henry V, written for Laurence Olivier's film of 1944 and popular ever since.
Under the baton of the vastly-experienced Van Steen, there was a haunting beauty in Egdon Heath, composed by Holst, better known for The Planets, and less so for his setting of the Christmas carol In The Deep Midwinter.
The Vaughan Williams' Concerto in A Minor for oboe and strings was played brilliantly by the young Spanish soloist Ramon Ortega Quero, who brought out the depth and wide-ranging beauty of the music, especially in the Minuet and Musette, and added an encore.
In his entertaining pre-concert talk, Van Steen said that players of British orchestras are so familiar with Elgar's Enigma Variations that they could play it standing on their heads, without rehearsing.
He also said that the real challenge for conductor, players and the audience is to take and experience this masterpiece beyond what we are familiar with.
Van Steen managed to do this, right to the stupendous finale with the mighty Mulholland Organ in the Ulster Hall in full flow.
The long applause from the capacity audience was enthusiastic, and rightly so.

- Psychologists estimate that 10 -15% of couples with children have sex no more than 10 times a year. The arrival of a new baby means late nights and lack of sleep. Sex is not as important as it once was. It drops to the bottom of the to-be-done list
- Research has also shown that couples with teenage kids have the least sex. This is because they postpone their sexual needs to when the kids have grown believing that they will have more time to be intimate. They assume they can pick up from where they left. Well, sorry, it doesnt happen like that!
- Studies have shown that both men and women experience a drop in sex drive after the children come. This is perfectly natural. Men's testosterone drops by 33-35% after they have kids and parents who are involved more than 3-5 hours a day
All couples at one point or another struggle with lack of sex in their relationships, especially after the birth of a baby. The recovery process and the tiredness and sleepless nights that come with it, leaves little or no energy or time for sex.
READ ALSO: Playing for Real Madrid helped fuel my sex addiction, player confesses
According to sexpert, Suzie Hayman, the key is communication. Talk to your partner during this time, and keep an open mind. If you are not in the mood for sex, try touching, playing or just simply holding each other and cuddling.
It is also vital that parents arrange alone and intimate time as a priority. Find someone to take care of your children for a few hours and make the best of your time alone with your partner. Don't let your kids suck the life out of your sex life.
It is never too late to rekindle your sex, even if it has been absent from your relationship for years. This will not only benefit you, and your relationship but your family as a whole. Balancing a healthy relationship with your partner automatically translates into having a good, strong and happy family bond.
Here are five tips to maintaining a healthy sexual relationship with your partner.
1. Keep your room private
Most parents have an 'open door' policy. They will allow their kids free range and access all areas, although this might work during the early stages. It is important to have boundaries, your kid(s) should know your room is your area and you need to be able to lock your doors.

Locking your bedroom door gives you and your partner some extra confidence knowing you won't be disturbed and you are free to get naked without your little one walking in and potentially scarring them for life.
2. Set a bed time
Your kids have a set bed times and so should you. Everyone loves a good night sleep and if you are a parent then you value a solid night sleep more than most things, especially without any disturbance.
Parents often use the time after they have put their kids to sleep to catch up with work or chores they could not do earlier in the day. Rather than focusing on that, you should focus on your partner and reconnecting with them.
READ ALSO: You are husband material if you meet the following qualities
Try to go to bed early enough so you can cuddle, talk, touch and get intimate. It's never too late for sex, but the later you go to bed then the less likely you will be in the mood for any intimacy. Get to bed early and give yourself precious alone time with your partner.
3. Talk about sex
Communication is key in every relationship. No one can read minds, no one can predict the future, but we all have a voice and we can all talk. By talking to your partner about sex, intimacy and romance you give each other the chance to understand what you are both going through.
READ ALSO: Sexy models strip down to help students learn English (photos, video)
Yes sex might not be the same as before you had kids, but talking about what you want and what you miss will allow you both to solve the problem together. You can both agree on things to do, when to do them and enjoy the new adventure.
4. Arrange date nights
Everyone should be having date nights with his or her partner, you don't have to wait for kids. Once or twice a month you need to dedicate time alone with your partner. Arrange for a babysitter, arrange a nice date and spend time with your partner.
Avoid talking about kids, work and focus your attention on each other. Ask them how they are doing, what they miss and what you can do to help.

A lot of couples choose to book themselves into a hotel so they can get intimate and naughty. Sometimes the bedroom at home can get boring and many couples complain about the lack of excitement. So by booking a hotel room for the sole purpose of having sex gives you both a new energy and something to look forward to.
Silly excuses for not having sex
Now that I have told you how to get your groove back, watch out for the excuses below. The most common factor responsible for the lack of sex was that there is little privacy or time alone once there is a child in the house and not the lack of wanting or desire.
The kids are around
Worrying that your child might be around, or still awake while couples get their intimate time tends to turn-off any attempts for some intimate sexy time. Couples simply just can't relax. And after a while you tend to just give up completely. A very dangerous situation for any relationship, even the 'strong' ones!
Honey, I am too tired
Tiredness was another common factor among couples with children of all age groups. About 27% of couples that participated in the study said that at the end of a long day they just don't have the energy for sex.
Woman feels unattractive
Another big reason for the lack of sex after childbirth, especially for women, is that women tend to feel unattractive and self-conscious after adding a few extra kilos. No matter how much their husbands might remind them that they still find them beautiful and sexy, women shut off completely from the idea of being seen naked.
READ ALSO: Spice up your Valentine's day with these 14 naughty treats
Women in general cope with many changes and challenges after childbirth. The mother is usually the one with the least sleep, the least food, the least amount of exercise, no social time, no girlfriend time. Her life changes forever and unless you make time for sex, having sex with her partner is not her top priority.
Say no to excuses
Don't let excuses ruin your sex drive. If you keep telling yourself you are tired or you have not had enough sleep, then you need to change your routine. Remember your sex drive will drop after having kids, it happens to most people, but it's your responsibility as a loving partner to make sure you rekindle it and get things back on track.

Consider "human" activity, in it's entirety, on this planet. Civilized? How dare you call us civilized!!!Mankind functions at "180" degrees from the definition of the word!PROVE...me wrong!
err... I would pretty much go with that... we all monkeys inside!
I'm not going to debate the actions of others besides myself. As for being civilized? I am. That's about all I have to say about it.
Caggie... Im not! lol
You know what Shaz? I'm going to take you at your word on that topic.
Im a tiger on the prowl... Im not civilized.... animalistic desires and tribal instinct...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIfKqgWPVvk
Then I suggest you stay on your side of the world. Otherwise, you'll likely be shot, just for the fur coat.
Cags:Damnit!There are too few of us!We can't, as "Hoover" said, (paraphrase) out man 'em and out gun 'em!
I'll agree, there are too few of us.
I would say humankind is at a tangent to civilized, thats only 90 degrees.
Well....the ones who aren't civilized are usually in cages called jails/prisonsor in the Democratic....er...I mean Communist Party.
You know, your attitude, and poke and fun at politicians and political parties is getting really boring.
Yeah I know. It's just that it's getting vewwwy boring to see the Democrat Party hold such sway over moral zombies. I'm afraid to NOT keep speaking up 'cause they certainly need SOME kind of help.
Congradulations! You proved his point.
"speaking up" is not the same thing as trolling around forums and putting random insults into conversations that have nothing to do with politics whatsoever.
It has everything to do with politics.And the insults aren't random.Let me put it this way-----IF Mr. Obama would ever respond to any of my complaints, I might not feel like I need to speak up everywhere I go.But hey, the coward hasn't got the guts to speak to someone who HAS the guts to tell him he's wrong to his face.
How do you know - and why do you think you know - who the man does or doesn't talk to in the course of a day????Sorry Brenda, but when you throw out ridiculous statements like that it is hard to take you seriously.Now, let's stop hijacking qwarks nice little forum, eh ?
But.... well...gee....qwark says humans are uncivilized.Perhaps qwark would like to post HIS definition of "civilized" and we can go from there with replies or retorts or ...gulp...even the proper definition and comparison of humans and non-humans.Whatcha say?I'll sit back and watch until I feel an inhuman urge to jump in!
Hey Wyan:I just got back from the gym.I was working out with some "uncivilized" "Chicano" friends.Have ya been keeping that "action" rollin' along?I start 'em you guys finish 'em...:-)PS I see yer gettin' alota action from the primitive, uncivilized religionists....:-)
That goes in cycles. I poked my head out of the hole for a little conversation, and I didn't duck it back in quick enough. Thanks for your input to my health hubs.. I'm done entering any into the contest now. It was an awful lot of work for meSo - my take on civilization is the Hooters motto."Delightfully tacky... yet unrefined."I put that pic up first because it is hilarious and second because it's a great example of my idea. When I hear "civilized society", I kinda picture snooty, over-dressed culture snobs who decide for the rest of us what our standards are supposed to be. Maybe that is only my own hang-up, I don't know. It's like when people go about declaring that everybody who disagrees with them must be flat out stupid. They may believe they are acting civilized, but they are in the "un" category for sure. Civilized people would NEVER approve of chicken wings served by boobs. Er, waitresses with big boobs I mean.But the rest of us who get a kick out of it are not just a bunch of low brow losers.I like things that are delightfully tacky! Uncivilized tho they may seem... I'm very sure I swerved way of track from your OP, but that is where my brain took it. sorrytake it easy!
I can't.You're entirely right - at least in my opinion.
I consider myself extremely civilized but I do have doubts about many others!
You and everyone else.
what is this word? civilized?
Now, this/that I can believe.
You spelled congratulations wrong.teehee I feel so picky tonight.Must be that uncivilized neanderthalish gene in me.Oh wait! There's no such thing. Must be a throwback memory of the caveman crap I learned in science class....
CONGRATULATIONS. C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S. CONGRATULATIONS.Learn something new every day.
qwark, this is the first thing that popped in my head:The Hooters girls
Who's calling who civilized? I'm sure it was said tongue in cheek, whoever said it
I'm civilized at times...I let my self go wild in my dreams and daydreams though
Being "civilized" is an ideal. It's a moving target that will always be just out of reach because it will always be relative to where we actually are and what we can dream of as defined by our religious myths, social philosophers or whatever other "what if" scenarios we envision for ourselves outside the ever-evolving reality of our day-to-day.

Atenolol is primarily used to treat heart disease in cats and dogs and to lower blood pressure. It is a beta1-blocking agent. Atenolol decreases the heart's need for blood and oxygen and therefore reduces the amount of work the heart must do. It also helps the heart beat more regularly.
Atlantoaxial (AA) luxation is a condition in which instability, or excessive movement, is present between the first two vertebrae within the neck. This spinal disorder is most commonly seen in young, small breed dogs, such as Toy Poodles, Miniature Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, and Chihuahuas. Less commonly, however, large breed dogs and even cats can be affected.
Atrial fibrillation describes very rapid contractions, or 'twitching', of the heart muscle, confined to the atria, or the top chambers. Most of the time, atrial fibrillation in cats occur secondary to heart disease.
There are four chambers in the cat's heart - two top chambers (the atria) and two bottom chambers (the ventricles). There are valves that separate the top chambers from the bottom chambers. When the AV valves are healthy, they act to prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during contraction of the heart.
Atropine sulfate is used in the eye to dilate the pupil. It may also be used to control pain in the eye due to corneal and uveal disease and in treating secondary glaucoma.
Anemia is not a specific disease but rather it is a symptom of some other disease process or condition. Anemia is a medical term referring to a reduced number of circulating red blood cells (RBC's), hemoglobin (Hb), or both. Hemoglobin delivers oxygen to the cells and tissues of the body, and a patient who is anemic will suffer from symptoms related to a lack of oxygen.
Our bodies have an immune system that protects us from foreign invaders that can cause disease and infection; however, if you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system attacks itself by mistake, causing serious illness.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stand united in their position that feeding raw food to cats is potentially dangerous to both the cat and to you. In the most recent study conducted, nearly 25% of the raw food samples tested positive for harmful bacteria, including Salmonella ssp. and Listeria monocytogenes.
Azathioprine is used to suppress the immune system. It is used to treat diseases and disorders caused by an overactive immune system. Examples of conditions the medication may be used for include immune mediated skin disease, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, rheumatoid arthritis, polyarthritis, polymyositis, eosinophilic enteritis, myasthenia gravis, atrophic gastritis, ulcerative colitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ocular histiocytoma, and chronic active hepatitis. When taking this medication, your pet may become more susceptible to infections. If possible, keep your pet away from stray animals or animals that may have an infection.
Azodyl is a nutritional supplement that may decrease azotemia, a condition in which there is too much nitrogen—in the form of urea, creatinine, and other waste products—in the blood. Azotemia occurs in both dogs and cats that have chronic kidney disease (CKD). In theory, Azodyl works by adding nitrogen-consuming bacteria into the intestines. Azodyl should be considered an adjunct (secondary) treatment for CKD.

morning up to nothing - letting a peek of sun through the window curtain looking in the mirror again - no circles under the eyes - was up all nite cleaning the cobwebs of the mind - yoga - the thought of a nice shower - unwilling to shave just yet - that fantastic 20 minutes of sleep was enough
cleaning the room - an hour of mindless organization - healthy environment was therapy. went for a walk outside - whether was worth mentioning - cool breeze - clouds, sun - coastal setting.
the other day i went to the courthouse - considered checking every floor - even the cafeteria's in the basement (lobster visions) - exited - cut through the park and spent some time in the city while the vibe was invigorating.
had dinner at the local eatery somewhere that could be considered to be near downtown - about half to go - went into the village - the corner store - got eqivalents of ice cream and a revitalizing drink
went back to the room - the thought of playing guitar - channel surfed a bit. the nite creeped in creepily halloween scary - a memory kelideoscope - there was a serious rain, that. unsure what part of the week since i started on the sunny whether - the days blended for a second...
back at the sun lit coastal setting i had some nice strolling - that invigorating coastal vibe - the people gave off was worth remembering, releasing the souls from prison, hello...
several days like this - ran some errands - visited the health center, got some work done, walked couple, possible more blocks back to the room. music, some television, chats with neighbors - emotional work. the thought of playing guitar a while - listened to some tunes for a while - meditated - sleep happens naturally. awake off and on - went for walks - local convenience store - back to the room - the entire time thoughts of friends and family - people, pets, wildlife - chants or whatever - just to keep the silence from hurting.

Tragically Hip are in Vancouver for two shows at Rogers Arena, July 24th & 26th. They're in Victoria on the 22nd.
Their shows sold out almost immediately. The band announced today that due to overwhelming demand, more tickets will go on sale tomorrow at 10AM our time.
Due to an overwhelming demand for the #manmachinepoem tour, additional tickets have been released. On sale June 14 https://t.co/hVWYtV5A2F— The Tragically Hip (@thehipdotcom) June 13, 2016
I wonder if it will be enough tickets to make a difference. The price scalpers are charging is and with the hype I can imgaine that will only fuel more peoples' desire to try their hand at some seemingly "easy" money/
These tickets will be sold at a maximum of two-per-person. If you missed out the first time, here's your chance!
The Man Machine Poem Tour will likely be the Tragically Hips final tour after lead singer Gord Downie's diagnosis of terminal cancer.

"Meditation is good, one can attain a pure mind by one-pointedness and detachment. Meditate upon one point and you will know God." – Maharaji
Maharaji would sometimes say, "What do I know? England is so far off." But sometimes he'd talk of England as if he'd been there. M asked him for a portion of the power that enabled Maharaji to see as far as England and farther. Maharaji laughed and said, "No. Gradually and by practice you can get that. It is not impossible; regular sadhana and putting up with any difficulty you come across."
M started doing puja and meditation as instructed by Maharaji. Maharaji had given him a mantra and told him to start any way he wanted; it didn't matter. After some time, when M and Maharaji were traveling by horse-drawn carriage, M asked Maharaji about the wandering mind during meditation: "It won't stand on one point; but many ideas come in. What do I do?" Then suddenly a small child ran across the road and the driver pulled the reins to stop the horse just in time to save the child. Maharaji said, "Like that," pointing to the driver holding the reins. "As the mind will travel here, there, and all directions, you should always try to pull it to one point. You should center it with continuous practice, then automatically it will go to the one point on which you want to meditate. Ultimately, after years, the mind becomes quiet."
Excerpt from Miracle of Love: Stories about Neem Karoli Baba, compiled by Ram Dass

text: I know the flex deck is innovative, and I could really see it being useful to add some size to a mower otherwise used just for small or gated areas. But it's still a little rough around the edges in terms of support and installation for my tastes. Maybe when they develop a bolt on version under license from a mower manufacturer....but not now. It's also a little pricey for what is basically a 18" mower deck. Whole wb mowers with engines, more wheels, frames, transmissions, and bigger decks cost only about $600 more than an installed flex deck. Perhaps as they sell more the price will come down. Does anyone know of any other systems in the pipeline that do similar things but are easier to install, or come as part of the unit? It's a great idea, just needs to be polished up. Retrofitting existing units is a daunting engineering task. They seem to have done it, but I dont' want my mower decks cut and welded on and a proper cut quality relying on it being installed perfectly. I know about the Great Dane and Hustler designs. I want something where I can remove the unit and mow with a "32 to 36" deck and add it when I need a wider cut. Not just a big deck to get through small gates. Some small back yards require a finer touch than a 52" deck provides.

We're happy to welcome aboard RedEyeRogue's newest editor/columnist/errand-boy – Galen "The Chief" Tyrol. As you all know, The Chief was once petty officer and head janitor aboard the ill-fated Battlestar Galactica. This is the first in our "From The Chief's Workbench" columns – a new regular feature of RedEyeRogue.com. Take it away Chief…
What is papercraft you ask? Papercraft is a form of crafting, in which paper is used to create three dimensional objects such as models or sculptures. Bascially you print out a page of "parts" (preferably on some thicker paper) cut them out and fold them, and glue them together to make a 3d paper model of your favourite movie character/spaceship/side-dish or whatever!
Just look at some of these nerdy examples of what can be done with paper:
"When I was a silly youth, I had an unhealthy obsession with Gerry Anderson's 'Space:1999' " [more on that show in an upcoming article -ed] and became fixated on the "Eagle" ships.
I pestered and pestered my dear, poor, long – suffering parents to purchase the toy replica, but to no avail.
So I got creative. I set out to build my own Eagle replica using – construction paper.
My intention was to make something that looked like this:
It, however, wound up looking more like this:
But I digress.
The point is, I kept on trying and soon I was making things that looked – well they still looked more like a blueplate special from Nick Tahoe's on a Friday night, but still I kept trying.
Well turns out the Chief is pretty good at this papercraft thing and I'll be sharing my work with you, and even showing you – yes, YOU – how to make your very own stunning 3d papercraft models.
First up this week:
A slab of meat.
The instructions and patterns can be downloaded from here. Just right click on the image and select "save link as…".
And remember to cut along the dotted lines.
Okay here's the real instructions. Just click on the model you want, to download the patterns and instructions:

Fatty Liver, a Lifestyle-Related Epidemic
The obesity epidemic has boosted the numbers of a plethora of chronic diseases, from type 2 diabetes to heart disease. Now health experts have identified an upswing in yet another chronic condition related to obesity and its partner, diabetes: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD.) Scientists from the Center for Liver Disease at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) from between 1998 and 2008 and found that the incidence of NAFLD doubled, from 5.5 percent to 11 percent.

How to Copy Incoming Mail to Another Email Addressby Jonah Quant
Email client software applications typically include options for sending copies of incoming messages to any other email address chosen by the user. There are several possible reasons for that, such as the person owning the other account needing access to all those messages (e.g., an assistant), or the recipient of the emails wanting to have a backup copy of all correspondence in case the main email server goes down. You can configure your email client to copy incoming email to another address.
Launch your email client application. The specific way of performing this step depends on the email client of your choice. For example, for Microsoft Outlook, launch Outlook by double-clicking on its desktop icon.
Configure which email messages, among all the ones received by your account, will be copied to the second email address. For example, for Outlook, click "Tools," then "Options." Click on the "Preferences" tab, then click on "Notifications" under "Mobile." Outlook will display a list of possibilities for selecting the messages that will be copied to another address, such as "Sent only to me" and "Marked as high importance." Select all the conditions you want, then click "OK."
Configure the email address to which messages satisfying the conditions in step 2 will be copied. For example, for Outlook, click on "Forward or redirect," then select "Redirect the message." This will ensure that a copy of the message remains in the account to which it was originally sent, in addition to another copy being sent to the other address. Click "People or distribution lists." Enter the other email address next to the "To:" field at the bottom of the window. Click "OK." The email client will automatically copy the incoming email messages to the other address as they arrive.

Pictureplane (Travis Egedy) has been a dominant presence in my music listening since I re-listened to Thee Physical (2011), which I had reviewed favorably here on A Future in Noise when it came out, and realized how excellently it has stood the test of time and how much of body of work in general seems to not only hold up but have an improved impact with additional listening. "Trancegender" in particular had an especial impact on me, as I had spent the past few years entrenched in trans* issues and matters of my own personal identity — bringing about the idea of "go[ing] beyond pure physical", to be able to say "I don't care what we mean to them", reached the heart of my desire to just be, whatever my other identity characteristics may be. Between that and "Black Nails" just being a kickass song to play on repeat or throw into a dance mix, the seeds of my interest were firmly planted.
Pictureplane is an artist that you cannot just scratch the surface with. This is not merely music to dance to, although Pictureplane can serve that purpose if you like; for a start, Pictureplane's "witch house" referred literally to occult-influenced house music (more of his thoughts on that here). The existence of man's music proves that those who think music "isn't good anymore" or "not going anywhere" are not paying enough attention. His music incorporates not only this individual aesthetic but also what he has inherited from a lineage of electronic greats and diverse stylistic influences (check out his primer on Psychic TV). I was recently able to do an interview with Travis via e-mail, which the reader will find below, along with some recommended tracks.
AFIN Track Picks: "Black Nails", "Trancegender", "Goth Star"
Photo used under Creative Commons from Caesar Sebastian
A Future in Noise / Marilyn Roxie: What are you working on currently with your music or remixes? Any particular sources of inspiration for this recent work?
Pictureplane / Travis Egedy: i am working on a whole new full length album. it is still kind of in its beginning stages, i have a lot to do, but i am really excited about it. it is going to be a record about chaos magic and poetic terrorism. hacking 3rd dimensional reality and breaking down walls and barriers.
AFIN: Are you still planning on rapping as Immortal Cash?
TE: i just recorded a song with DJ Dog Dick and sewn leather, who together are Dog Leather. i rapped on that song… but i really dont know what my rap name is haha. maybe "lemonade indigo" . immortal cash is a great name too though. but i dont think i am going to put out a rap EP like i had been saying… i need to focus on my new album
When can we possibly expect a new Pictureplane mix or album release?
TE: im not sure! hopefully early 2013
AFIN: As it seems to be very prevalent in your aesthetic, how do you feel your interest in occult and magic has informed your music and other areas of your life?
TE: magic is a daily practice for me. its just how i live my life, magically. its really just about being open to the universe and interacting with it and telling it what you want. it is just a personal interest of mine, so it in turn informs my art and music.
AFIN: I have seen some references online to a couple of albums earlier than 'Slit Red Bird Throat': a self-titled release in 2004 and 'Covered in Blood, Surrounded by Text' in 2005, but have been unable to find them. What's the story with these and are they / will they be available anywhere?
TE: i think slit red bird throat is floating around online. but the other one is so old!! i dont know if i even want people to hear that stuff haha. i have an old soundclick.com page (pre myspace) under the name "area66" that has tons of my old music on there. it is still up with a picture of me when i was like 18 . search for that. haha
AFIN: What does your composing and recording process generally involve?
TE: just a lot of me messing around and playing with sounds. play and experimentation have always been paramount to my recording process. i dont have a set way of doing things. its very open.
AFIN: If you could describe your fashion aesthetic in five words…
TE: dark art jock on acid
AFIN: Favorite tracks / albums you're listening to right now?
TE: light asylum, TRUST, physical therapy, unicorn kid, dean blunt and inga copeland, death grips, everything danny brown
Pictureplane: Blogspot | Facebook | MySpace | Tumblr | Twitter

My dear,
I find it funny that people think that new knowledge on new subjects is the path to wisdom.
Wisdom lies less in the discovery of a new truth than it does in the loss of a previously held illusion. Wisdom lies more in finding out how wrong you were than in how stupid you were.
Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
If you seek wisdom, seek the destruction of the illusions you hold as true more than you seek new truths.
Falsely yours,
Karl Ludwig Börne
