It's not uncommon for people to tell me, you know, I love your blog, and it makes me think I may have ADHD.
Believe it or not, I enjoy hearing this feedback. I write for an ADHD audience, but I hope the parenting, organization, and other life strategies I discuss will help everyone.
But how do you know if you have ADHD? Taken individually, all of the core symptoms sound relatable. However, if your symptoms cropped up recently or have come and gone over time, it's probably not ADHD.
In Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?, Gina Pera writes, "an ADHD diagnosis requires more than a symptom or two. Otherwise, everyone would have ADHD! It requires both a certain number of symptoms and significant impairment — for example, in the area of career, money, education, or relationships."
Isn't there a test?
Still confused? Several websites offer online self-tests. Though these questionnaires all have their weaknesses and you should never take the results as a clinical diagnosis, they may point you in the right direction. Here are a few to try:
- Amen Clinics ADHD Type Test
This test attempts to suss out which of Daniel Amen's seven ADHD subtypes describe you. The questions may connect some strange dots in your life and get you thinking about the lesser-known symptoms of adult ADHD. Amen's book, Healing ADD, is definitely worth a read for a more comprehensive understanding, but the website alone should provide some insight into whether your case (and treatment) will be straightforward or difficult.
- Psychology Today ADHD/Attention Deficit Disorder Test
Doesn't touch on many relationship and emotional issues, which the Amen Clinics test does much better, but it does provide situational questions. These may be easier to answer than evaluating a blanket-statement description like "procrastinates often" or "easily distracted."
- Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Center of Maryland Online Screening Test
Perhaps the least in-depth, this test is based pretty strictly on the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. That gives you a good idea of what a clinician might ask you at a first meeting, but don't expect to shed light into any dark corners here. Test claims you can get a lot of information from Section A alone, but I recommend doing Section B also. While the questions are rudimentary, you'll probably know by the end whether you need to schedule a professional consultation.
How to learn more about your brain.
While online self-tests are certainly appealing if you're looking for a quick, easy answer, there are precious few of those in the world of adult ADHD. You'll learn far more by reading a good book by a knowledgeable professional.
For more insight than I can possibly provide here, I recommend checking out some books about ADHD.
Here are the most approachable, high-impact, easy-to-read books I've found. All are available in audio format in case you're one of the many ADHD'ers who don't enjoy reading.
- I Always Want to be Where I'm Not by Wes Crenshaw
Dr. Crenshaw's book is especially handy for the under-30 crowd. We gain a lot of responsibility in our mid-20s: often marriage, household management, financial independence, and a self-structured professional life. This can be a time of great suffering for ADHD adults, and Crenshaw's case studies will hit home for many.
- Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.? by Gina Pera
This book was written for partners of ADHD adults, but I've loaned it to several ADHD'ers who've found it positively enlightening. Unlike many ADHD books, Pera focuses on ADHD's impact on our closest personal relationships.
- Your Brain at Work by David Rock
Okay, this one's not about ADHD, but it gives a great primer on the neuroscience of focus, self-supervision, and success in the face of your brain's natural limitations. You'll learn several handy techniques for practicing mindfulness, recharging, and managing your brain's supply of dopamine (a neurotransmitter critical to motivation and often lacking in people with ADHD).
How about you? What are your favorite resources? Where did you find your biggest a-ha moments?

The behavior of a domestic dog, scientifically known as Canis lupus familiaris, refers to the collection of behaviors by a canine. Dogs are believed to be influenced by environmental, genetic, situational and social causes. Being a subspecies of the grey wolf, a domestic dog share many of its behavioral characteristics with its forebears.

Over the last 30 years, BAMS has commissioned work from established medallists as well as from artists for whom the medal as a medium is a fresh challenge. Some of the artists whose work we issue have been approached by BAMS directly, but we also welcome proposals from established and novice medallists.
Successful medals are small, hand-held, double-faced sculptural objects, normally in cast metal. There is a sense of relationship, either one of development or contradiction, between the obverse and the reverse. Medals often feature a combination of text and modelled imagery, and may respond to recent or historical events.
The Society
The British Art Medal Society exists to promote and encourage medallic art, including the production of contemporary work. Its members are makers, collectors and enthusiasts of medals. BAMS is a non profit making organisation, and is linked to a charity, the British Art Medal Trust (registered charity no. 288869), which publishes The Medal, a bi-annual journal with an international reputation dealing with contemporary medals and the history of medallic art. The medals commissioned by the Society are publicised and offered for sale to members in The Medal and on the Society's website. Medals no longer for sale remain permanently in the website galleries. The medals are sometimes placed on temporary exhibition by the Society.
The commissioning process
Artists are encouraged to submit medals for commissioning by BAMS. Ideas can be discussed at an early stage with the Artist Secretary; contact details are at the bottom of this page. When the submission is ready for consideration it should be sent to the Artist Secretary, including the following:
- Contact details.
- A brief statement up to 300 words outlining the thinking behind the medal.
- Drawings / photographs of the proposed medal.
- Costings where these exist.
- Links to websites or other sources that contextualise the work.
These should be emailed as a Word, pdf or text document with attached images to: firstname.lastname@example.com. The email should not exceed 2MB. If it is not possible to digitise the submission, please contact the Artist Secretary in order to make alternative arrangements.
Artists may be encouraged to develop ideas by other members of the BAMS Council, and it may be more practicable to continue to liaise with that individual. In this circumstance, the Council member may take responsibility for forwarding the proposed work to the Artist Secretary.
Submission of pattern
If a proposal is accepted for consideration, the artist will be invited to submit the physical pattern (the finished medal in any material suitable for making a mould from) in order that a final decision can be made.
Subjects for medals
The choice of subject matter is left to the artist, but the Society suggests subjects if required. Medals should generally be less than 10cm. (4in.) in diameter. Similarly, it is preferable for medals to be kept below 500gms in weight; however, artists can work up to a maximum of 1kg by arrangement with the Artist Secretary.
Medals cast and finished by the artist
Artists who arrange production themselves should agree the cost with the Society before proceeding. Bills for all production costs, including casting and finishing, should be sent to the Artist Secretary, for forwarding to the Treasurer.
The Society will need an example of the medal at least three months before publication of The Medal (i.e. in June or December).
Where medals are produced by the artist, the commission payment to the artist is £30 per medal sold (the Society will pay an advance of £300 against the sale of the first ten immediately prior to publication).
Medals cast by the Society
Artists wishing the Society to make their medal should contact the Artist Secretary.
The Society will need a pattern at least six months before publication (i.e. in March or September).
Where medals are produced by BAMS, the commission payment to the artist is £15 per medal sold (the Society will pay an advance of £300 against the sale of the first twenty immediately prior to publication).
Delivery of Medals
The Society will need a finished medal for photography by the following dates:
For the Spring issue, by 1st week in January. Following this, the size of the first batch to be ordered is decided in consultation with the Artist Secretary. This batch to be delivered 1st week in March.
For the Autumn issue, by 1st week in July. Following this, the size of the first batch to be ordered is decided in consultation with the Artist Secretary. This batch to be delivered 1st week in September.
All Medals
Commission payments: An advance commission payment of £300 is made immediately prior to the publication of the medal. Subsequent commission payments are paid to artists annually in the Spring.
Moral rights: The moral rights to the work belong to the artist.
Copyright: Copyright of the work belongs to the Society, or otherwise by negotiation, but in all cases both the artist and the Society may reproduce the medal photographically. All sales of the medal must be directed through the Society. Two examples are retained by BAMS for exhibition. Artists are entitled to two free examples (which may be marked AP), and can acquire/retain more at cost price for their own personal use (that is, for their own archive or for use as gifts). The artist's original pattern shall become the property of the Society, unless negotiated otherwise.
Editions: The maximum size of an edition will be one hundred, plus the artist's two examples (which may be marked AP for Artist's Proof). The actual number will be fixed after the medal has been offered in three issues of The Medal (approximately eighteen months). Sales tend to be in the range of 20-80. It would be appreciated if artists would sign their medal and number the edition.
Publication: For deadlines, see above. Artists are asked to provide notes about themselves and the medal (including a title) for inclusion in The Medal journal and the Society's website. The photography for reproduction is arranged by the Society. Those artists with a website should inform the Society, so that reciprocal links can be built between that site and the Society's site. Artists are requested to inform the Society if they create a website at a later stage, so that links can be created.
Pricing: Medals are priced according to the following formula: Price to members = Cost of production + artist's commission payment + BAMS overheads and postage and packing. Thus a medal costing £60 to cast and finish will be priced at about £120.

OAKLAND — Waste Management customers in Alameda County and San Ramon, it's official: Your trash will be hauled away Monday.
By a vote of 363-3, the members of Teamsters Local 70 on Saturday ratified a new, five-year contract. The ratification came two days after the company reached a tentative agreement with its 481 drivers, who had been locked out since July 2.
"I think the agreement is a fair agreement," Chuck Mack, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 70, said Saturday at the union hall on Hegenberger Road after the votes had been tallied. "In collective bargaining, compromise is the heart and soul of the process."
Waste Management spokeswoman Monica Devincenzi said the company also believes a fair and balanced contract had been reached.
"We are definitely very pleased that they ratified the agreement and they'll be returning to work," she said. One shift of workers returns at 8 p.m. today, and the bulk of the drivers resume their routes Monday morning.
Teamsters members said they were eager to be back soon. In their absence, the company had brought in more than 400 replacement workers from across the country. Devincenzi said Waste Management had not yet totaled the costs associated with those workers, including their hotel stays and the security personnel who followed many trucks.
The lockout affected about 200,000 customers in Oakland, Emeryville, San Ramon, Livermore, Albany, Hayward, Newark, Castro Valley, the Oro Loma sanitary district and some unincorporated areas. Many of those areas complained about scattered trash collection since the lockout began, despite the company's reassurance that the replacement workers had brought service back up to speed.
In Oakland — where the largest number of customers expressed anger over missed pickups — City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente said he was glad the dispute had ended.
"I'm happy the situation was resolved so the citizens get the service that they deserve," he said.
The Teamsters and Waste Management both credited the presence of Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums with moving the 12- to 15-hour days of negotiations toward resolution.
"He said he would stay with us as long as it would take to get an agreement," Mack said. "He was with us every single hour in these talks. He was not the guy who said, 'Call me when they get close, and I'll come down and take all the credit.'"
The new contract resolves two key differences. It contains what Waste Management calls a standard "no strike, no lockout" clause — meaning that the union won't strike and the company won't lockout employees as they work with an arbitrator to resolve issues — and, crucial to the union, retains language about honoring picket lines.
The Teamsters also compromised on a second sticking point, agreeing to a list of 10 new safety rules Waste Management introduced for the new contract. Those requirements, which union officials called reasonable, include wearing seat belts, applying parking brakes while parking and not backing up a vehicle with someone on the riding step. If a driver violates a rule, he or she is suspended five days. A third violation can result in firing.
The rules were introduced mainly because of a 2002 incident involving a Waste Management truck that hit a car driven by Erich Jenkins of Tracy on Interstate 580. Jenkins was killed.
The new agreement also gives employees raises every year — the amount depends on the job — and maintains the contribution level the company makes to employee health care and pension funds.
What do both sides want the public to understand?
"We're very appreciative of the cities and the customers bearing with us through this process," Devincenzi said. She added that the company will be crediting customers for missed collections and plans to provide further details in their next regular billing statement.
"We've agreed the most important thing we can do is get everything cleaned up as quickly as possible," Mack said. To do that, he added, workers understand that, initially, they will be expected to work longer shifts and possibly on weekends.
Looking forward five years to when the new contract expires, union workers and the public have wondered whether Alameda County cities will still want Waste Management to provide garbage service — and whether Waste Management will remain interested. Those are questions Oakland and Waste Management declined to comment on Saturday.
Mack and other Teamsters said they think the dispute has created a new appreciation for the work garbage collectors do.
People take the service for granted, Mack said, but if they had to do it themselves, they would quickly understand, "'My God, the cost of garbage is not cheap.'"

Black Vatican is Andy Roche andy Owen Gardner. They blend hypnotic scuzzy guitar with old drum machine beats and reverby vocals. Andy was nice enough to give us some insight into his music and art in the interview below.
s.o.t.r.-Who are some of you influences musically?
B.V.-Neither of us has been consistently into any one music, like
fanatically, while BV has been together. Both of us grew up on folk
music. Essentially that's the first music I learned to play, just
little folk revival novelty songs, usually funny ones, and I'd play
them for my parents and their friends when I was in elementary school.
I listened to a lot music on the radio and I was crazy for the show
Afropop Worldwide. Towards the end of high school I got really into
Faust IV and Pere Ubu's Dub Housing, still my favorite LPs. I just
listened to those discs over and over. The internet wasn't the
internet yet, so I just played the same records over and over. This
sort of rock thing is probably clearest on our tape Zed Omega. The
split we did with True Primes on Locust Music is much more electronic
and I think better integrates a sort of damp darkness. While it
clearly relates to stuff like Suicide or Cluster, when I think of the
feelings on the split LP, I think of things like laying sleepless in
my bed as a teenager, listening to Varese on the radio, just sort of
abstract dread, with a summer cross breeze between the windows.
Today, we both keep our ears stretched wide. I listen to a few things
all the time, lots of minimalist composer music, kraut and industrial
music, and garage rock. The real big influence on this record has
been Collette Magny, the french jazz singer. Her record Repression is
maybe the best LP I've heard in years. It's so huge. She basically
takes the world on with 4 barrels of leftism. Her voice on that
record is the yelp of Alan Vega elaborated into a language.
The new LP we'll put out on Locust later this Spring is called Oceanic
Feelin' and it sort of feels like Magny, but it doesn't sound like
her. She tore things apart and there was a mix of power and panic in
her voice as she did it. We were both really interested in Jung and
Zizek, two writers with not too much in common, actually, while we
wrote this thing. Basically interested in the Real and how it could be
spoken about in something as evasive as music. There's a lot of
sci-fi sort of talk on this new one, but I hope people read it like
Houllebecq's sci-fi, just always aware that every wild fantasy is also
really base and physical.
s.o.t.r.-Tell us about your 'tools of the trade', what kind of drum machine, effects pedals, etc. do you use?
B.V.-When I play guitar, it's a cheap Dearmond I bought when I was 18.
Owen has a similar make, but he's stripped it and refretted it to
allow some huge expansion in the tones he can play. The drums are
whatever we have, which is usually old roto toms and a broken dijembe.
I use an Oberheim DX drum machine, I've had it since 96 and it will
never quit. We use a bass synth pedal, bass wahs, phasers and various
s.o.t.r.- Can you describe your separate roles a as duo performing and recording as Black Vatican?
B.V.-Anymore, the set up live is usually I sing and run electronics and
Owen plays guitar. On record, it's pretty similar, although there are
usually more instruments around and Owen is likely to play a keyboard.
These roles really developed after I moved to Chicago and into an
apartment, basically the end of us as a rock band.
s.o.t.r.-Andy, can you tell us about the DVD "Andy Roche: Radical Witness of Iowa"? Also, what was it like to perform in France?
B.V.-I work in visual art. The DVD came from videos I made for a solo show
at the University of Illinois-Chicago's Gallery 400. The videos were
posted online and Remi Lafitte from Atelier Ciseaux in Paris saw them
and contacted me. We decided to work together. The videos on there
are basically connected to this larger project to understand what an
aesthetics based on engaged anarchist politics might look like. As
far as that mission goes, the videos on the disc are probably even
more obscure in their approach. Essentially, they sort of work like
weird documentaries about Iowa, and here I present it as a place full
of weird hills, catholic mystery and dread, and leftist angst.
Clearly, this is viewed through my glass, and is not really Iowa.
The shows in France were great. I played all the shows as an opener
for Pocahaunted and Sun Araw. With a couple exceptions, most people
had no idea who I was. Since I thought the audience would expect an
evening of fried psych, I decided to only travel with a drum machine
and effects and to play as if I was in the "chill out tent". I really
love soul vocals on club songs, so I tried that out, sort of. There's
a real culture of consensus in underground music. The strangest part
about it is that everyone seems to agree on what is weird, fried,
exploratory, "rad", etc. It felt good to travel alone and sort of
All of the venues were great. I loved playing Angers at the squat
there, L'Enticelle. This was probably the highlight. The people
there were lovely, fun and had some politics (imagine that!). If I
went back to my journals, we could probably spend all of this time
talking about that evening. As far as I'm concerned, this place
should be where anyone from the US should want to play if they want
the real thing. What can I say? It was a real joy to travel there
and play. I'm not too cool to be nonchalant about it. The whole time
I kept thinking, "pay attention, this is about as good as this stuff
Sun Araw was fantastic. Cameron and William can really play!
s.o.t.r.- Whats up with The Secret Monks? Is this group still together? I love the videos of you guys playing live back in Jan.09′
B.V.-I think I need to check the date I put on that video. The show posted
on the Myspace was from 2002, but maybe it said something different on
the site. Secret Monks was a band I played in during college. When I
was a freshman, I went to see a Half-Japanese concert at Gabe's in
Iowa City. It was a conversion experience. Sometime during the show
I decided I needed to start a band that played like they did, really
free and fun. My buddy Jon Roberts and I started Secret Monks as a
home recording project. After two years there were maybe 30-40 songs.
We'd record everything on tape, and Jon knew someone with a CD
We'd play shows on occasion. One of the best was a show with Harvey
Sid Fischer that was a real rager. We also did a week tour of
southern Iowa and northern Missouri. I really recommend touring that
way, like just playing every possible place in a tiny area. You end
up sort of living there for a little while. You become the talk of
the hills. One was in some guy's living room in a house on a country
road. He only invited his girlfriend and her friend. During our jam,
he asked us to stop because it was bedtime. It was like 10pm.
Towards the end of the band Owen joined. The video you saw was maybe
the first and last show with him in the group. The Secret Monks ended
because everybody moved. We had several groups like the Secret Monks
before we started Black Vatican: Lady Bulldogs, Come Doves, Troll
Blasters, the Magi, Young Priest, etc.
s.o.t.r.-What is the music scene like in Iowa? What bands do you like localy?
B.V.-Well… Neither of us still lives in Iowa fulltime. We started
there, but I've lived in Chicago and Owen has lived in Baltimore for
years now. In Iowa the groups I love are Wet Hair, Bob Bucko, Leslie
and the Lys. The scene? There wasn't one when I lived there and it
was great not having one. This is usually an unpopular point of view
in underground music, but I don't like the scene or its double,
"community". I don't know what people mean by this stuff. These
scenes are usually little more than social conspiracies. If by scene
people mean something social that kind of fills up your life and your
calendar, sure. However, the music scene as the site where we find
meaning? I've never wanted to be good at living somewhere, never
wanted to run someplace. For a generation so interested in
dematerializing everything via the web, why aren't we more interested
in transcendence? I have my friends. I have my life.
Iowa is heaven and I miss the Mississippi.

A proposal for funding public education has been called historic by Colorado's governor. But, the ballot measure could stretch wallets. The Aspen Skiing Company hopes to catch the eye of up and coming skiers from certain Asian countries. And, changes may be in store if the USA Pro Challenge bike race returns to the upper Roaring Fork Valley next year. We talk with an economist who says big sporting events may not mean more money for the towns hosting them. Finally, we get an update on local athletes training for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia. Mountain Edition - October 3rd, 2013 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Oct 3, 2013 It's been a big news week and one story with big impacts locally is the federal government shutdown. We take a look at what it means for the Roaring Fork Valley. Obamacare hit the internet on Tuesday, turns out, health care plans coordinated by Colorado are way more expensive in mountain towns. After massive floods walloped oil and gas operations, we hear ideas about making sure oil and gas operations are better protected down the road. Local officials had to decide by Tuesday whether to take steps to allow retail marijuana in the Roaring Fork Valley. Many have decided to delay their verdict. We get an update from one of the ten Aspen-area athletes hoping to compete in the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia. And finally, tamales are a humble Latin American dish with deep, historical roots. They're the main fare at an upcoming Roaring Fork Valley event. Mountain Edition - September 26th, 2013 By Marci Krivonen & Elise Thatcher • Sep 27, 2013 Heavy flooding on the Front Range has resulted in a mess. Oil and animal excrement from feedlots have spilled into or near rivers. The flooding put dams on the Front Range to the test as walls of water rushed down canyons and into towns. We'll talk to the chief of dam safety for the state. The Roaring Fork Valley deals with suicide often more than other Colorado communities. One local non profit is trying to change that. Federal health care reform kicks into high gear next week when people can shop online for insurance. But, even with insurance, some patients struggle to get care. And, every month a Ute Indian spiritual leader leads a sweat in a cavern in Glenwood Springs. We'll take you to the healing ceremony. And finally, we'll introduce you to a local winter Olympic hopeful who learned to ride horses before she got on skis. Mountain Edition - September 19th, 2013 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Sep 19, 2013 Floodwaters in the Front Range are receding and the number of missing people is going down. Residents of flood-ravaged towns are returning home. We'll bring you an update on the floods and let you know how you can help. Some from the Roaring Fork Valley have been helping Front Range residents get back on their feet and seeing just how devastating flooding can be. The state's climatologist says what's strange about last week's weather is its pattern. Simultaneous, powerful rain storms hit multiple Front Range areas at one time. Also today, men are still making more money than women in Colorado – we'll break down the numbers, county by county. And finally, imagine flying 80 miles an hour down Aspen Mountain on skis. One Aspen ski racer could be an international champion, if she can land a spot with the Olympic team. Mountain Edition - September 5th, 2013 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Sep 5, 2013 As the offseason begins, Colorado's elected leaders are deciding whether to support a U.S. led military strike in Syria. President Obama wants a green light from Congress before any action is taken. After a summer chock-full of events, things are quieting down in Colorado's high country… unless you're a sheepdog herder. The annual sheepdog trials in Meeker are underway… and there's some serious cash on the line. In other money matters, we find out who paid to put out the Red Canyon Fire. The blaze near Glenwood Springs racked up a bill quickly--and other fires in the state already burned through the first source of funding. We'll find out what it takes for an Aspen coffee shop and roaster to make what they say is the best cup of coffee ever...even after life throws you a curve ball. And, we have the latest from the artist Christo about the installation he wants to do in Colorado… as well as what opponents are saying. Finally we'll introduce you to an event with new roots in Aspen…but a deep history that hearkens back to 18th century Paris. Details about Sunday's (9-8-2013) Salon at Justice Snow's: www.anniversarysalon.eventbrite.com Mountain Edition - August 29th, 2013 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Aug 30, 2013 The U.S. Department of Justice has announced it won't try and stop Colorado and Washington State from allowing recreational marijuana. Basalt officials say they're on track to move nearly forty families living in a trailer park. It's part of a redevelopment plan… and some of the families say they can't afford to stay in Basalt. We'll find out what the reaction in Aspen was to the USA Pro Challenge, which took over parts of the Upper Valley last week. And, what the latest is on what cycling officials are doing to catch doping… turns out they don't necessarily agree with each other. A Glenwood Springs teacher is teaming up with NOAA to chart the ocean floor. She sets sail early next month. An accomplished local author is taking readers across the world. Her latest novel will be published soon. It chronicles an early feminist in the 19th century Ottoman Empire. And, The Colorado State Fair continues in Pueblo through the weekend… we have an audio postcard. Mountain Edition - August 22, 2013 By Marci Krivonen • Aug 22, 2013 The USA Pro Challenge is making its way across the state. On Wednesday, crowds lined Rabbit Ears Pass as the cyclists made their way into Steamboat Springs. Mountain Edition - August 8th, 2013 By Marci Krivonen & Elise Thatcher • Aug 8, 2013 Aspen Public Radio became a bit more digital this week. We posted our first story told through video of the 40th anniversary of the Snowmass Rodeo. It's part of the station's multi-media expansion. With oil and gas in the news pretty much all the time in Colorado, we take a look at lessons learned from one of the hot spots in Western Colorado some years ago. We continue our Work the Valley series with a look at a forest service employee who designs plans to make towers, power lines and fences blend in with nature. And, we'll take a trip to Summit County where an act of Congress could open up more land for affordable housing. Just like the Roaring Fork Valley, it's a pricey area where free market homes are often out of reach. We talk to the Chief Scientist for The Nature Conservancy. M. Sanjayan talks about mega-fires and disappearing snowpack. Study: River Forecasting in Rockies Needs Dusting By Ellis Robinson • Aug 1, 2013 NASA Snow in the Upper Colorado River Basin provides water for seven states. Farmers, factories, and families alike depend on this water, and a considerable amount of effort goes into understanding and forecasting how much melt is going to come from the snowpack, and when. Mountain Edition - July 18th, 2013 By Roger Adams & Marci Krivonen • Jul 18, 2013 Pitkin County's library is moving ahead with designs to expand, but the plan is significantly scaled back because voters turned down funding the project. In Southwest Colorado, a massive wildfire closed down businesses in tourist towns. Now businesses are trying to recover...They're applying for special loans. We'll talk about fire with Congressman Scott Tipton. In response to deadly forest fires he has sponsored legislation to thin forests so they are less explosive. And, we'll make a trek to Gothic, Colorado on the other side of the Maroon Bells where scientists have been studying a colony of marmots....for more than 50 years.

Come again? The idea of a mind trap is actually pretty simple and people (with or without anxiety) do it all the time. Mind traps occur when we make up stories in our heads and respond as if those thoughts are true. If we've imagined something scary, our bodies begin making lots of adrenaline and our physical symptoms kick in, followed by more scary thoughts. Of course, this is a great recipe for a panic attack and, over time, it simply becomes habit.
I remember a few years back, my husband took our older girls to a festival. When I couldn't reach him by phone, I started to imagine that one of the kids got lost and he wasn't answering until he found her. I imagined her lost in the crowd and crying for us – it was horrible. Even though I knew this scenario was highly unlikely, I found myself believing my imagination and feeling more and more anxious until I was able to reach my husband. The reality was that they were having so much fun that he didn't hear the phone and everyone came home happy.
Leaving the pool with my three year old while hubby and the girls stay behind.
"Little did they know that would be the last time anyone saw them alive".
The phone rings before 8am in the morning.
"And that's when she first heard that (insert name) had passed away during the night".
Even though it doesn't feel like it, we do have a choice in how we respond to thoughts like:
I'm going to have a panic attack and then . . .(this terrible thing will happen). . .
"One of the most courageous things you can do when your WAF's (worries, anxieties and fears) show up is to sit still with them and not do as they say." (pg. 76)
This week, I invite you to just notice when your mind starts to set a trap for you. See if you can simply watch the thought without having to respond to it. There's an exercise on page 76 in our summer book called "Mind Watching" – it's a good one. And, if you're not reading the book, try sitting with some basic meditation every day for as long as you like. I'm going to aim for 5 – 10 minutes a day and see how it goes!

This Music Video left me Speechless
So here I was minding my own business as always, when I hear a beautiful song in my fave anime radio station. Since I understand almost NADA when it comes to Jap I decided to search for the title of the song and lucky me I found the song in Youtube, thats when I saw this video:
The first 3 mins of the video are passable but when those shells/projectiles/bullets start flying all over the place and the planes ram into those destroyers...... thats the part that left me speechless.
I've seen some documentaries on the History channel about Pearl Harbor but they never seem to show the actual scenes where the airplanes hit the destroyers and most of the broadcasted scenes are of very poor quality.... this one on the other hand looks rather sharp and there are a few clear crashing scenes.
I am not assuming that this is indeed footage from Pearl Harbor because for all I know this could have been an attack on some other country's destroyers (or the other way around) but DAM! When you listen to the song and watch this video.... I dunno, it kinda leaves u speechless.
I really like the song, that is not going to change.
Here are the translated lyrics so u can see why there was some room to couple this song with the video:

Actually I've seen all these footage on History Channel, the only reason they look 'sharp' here is because of lower resolution.
These old films have been enhanced alot over the years and even given colour to be broadcast on TV, History Channel even has HD now.

i'm listening to the song right now and it seems like the piano part of the song is an accompaniment. in the song, it sounds like chords to me. however, you're free to play it however you'd like. if you want a fuller sound, go for the chords. you'll soon get used to it if you keep practicing it. however, if you just want to basic sound, the octave c will be easier, i suppose. just keep practicing the parts that you're struggling with. i guess that the chord would be the "correct" way, if you want to play it more like the song.

So the song is Sora O Mau Tsubasa by Eiko Shimamiya?
Cause I've heard the song before, but I was never able to figure out who it's by or anything about it!
I don't even know where it's from... All I know is that I like the song.
Does anybody have any information on the song?

The low beams reflects back at you while the fogs (assuming they are aimed correctly) will go UNDER the fog and not reflect back at you. This is also the reason why the instruction for installing fogs always recommend to install them UNDER the bumper!!!!!!!!!! I hope the above information helps.

I've wanted to be more weird and artistic with my fashion sense for years, but I never had the courage plus I worked jobs where I couldn't really have piercings or anything.
So I posted one pic last night about wanting to dye my hair and get piercings, but here are some more different ideas and designs, hope it gives you an idea of the fashion choices I might go for.
I know not everyone likes the piercings, but I want them because I think they're pretty. Plus it'll probably take me a lot of courage to actually be this bold with my fashion so any advice is welcome!
Girls, Want to be more creative and artistic with my fashion, what do you think?
I've wanted to be more weird and artistic with my fashion sense for years, but I never had the courage plus I worked jobs where I couldn't really have piercings or anything.
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 3
maybe just try one piercing on the side of your lip. all three just look tacky and like too much is going on at once. and maybe a stud in the nose to help balance it out. And like the other girl dai u can try having both colors. But I think if u did that maybe a light purple to blue would be nice or a purple to hot pink00|00|0
I like symmetry thats the thing! hah, though I could go with two tone hair, as long as my piercing jewellery would match colour wise.
I just think all three and the nose piercing is way too much going on. I like something subtle would be better. Especially if you wanna dye your hair a bold color
I'd flip the lip piercigs (two on bottom, one centered on top) and dont get the septum but get a typical nose peircing. Don't dye your eyebrows, and maybe have purple fade to red?00|00|0
I did consider that and try out those arrangements, but I just find snake bites a little too generic, also the septum is the one I want the most so I don't know :) Thanks for not being all like 'ugh youd look better without piercings' though!
I might try that.

If you follow me, I can send a pic in a message lol, and you could send it back or post it on anon and have me rated xD
Hey message me :) I got locked out of my accound (forgot the password)
I like the lip piercings but not septum, maybe a bridge piercing instead? the purple hair would look good too!00|00|0

Sister who got new kidney is to leave hospital soon
By RYAN DAVIS
© St. Petersburg Times, published January 11, 2001
Sandy Patterson, who received a kidney transplant from her brother last week, may leave Tampa General Hospital today. If not, she's expected to go home by the end of the week, a transplant institute spokeswoman said.
Her 32-year-old brother, Tom Patterson, of Zephyrhills, returned home Tuesday to his wife and four daughters, as well as a niece and nephew he is helping raise.
"No one can believe how well it has gone," said Murrel Dozier, their mother. "It's a miracle."
Both surgeries Jan. 5 were successful, said Ruth Bell, a spokeswoman for LifeLink Transplant Institute, which is overseeing their surgeries and recovery. Sandy's transplanted kidney started working before she left the operating room. Tom's remaining kidney started to compensate immediately.
When Sandy, 40, who has Down's syndrome and had underdeveloped kidneys, woke up after her surgery, she first asked about her kidney. Then Tom.
"She wanted to know where her brother was," Dozier said. "She said, 'I need him.' "
The siblings first saw each other Saturday.
Sandy told Tom she loved him. He said he loved her back.
On Wednesday doctors removed the ports in Sandy's chest that were needed for her to receive dialysis treatments three times a week for the last 15 months.
The regimen drained her smile, energy and desire to dance. Her family feared that it also was draining her will to live faster than she would be able to find a kidney donor.
With a new kidney, she expects never to undergo dialysis treatments again.
"That makes it all worth it," Tom said.
Sandy will go from the hospital to her mother's Zephyrhills home and return to the Montana group home in Zephyrhills on Sunday. Her release from Tampa General hinges on the removal of a post-surgery drain that was inserted near her new kidney, Bell said.
Because doctors were able to easily remove Tom's kidney, he expects return to work at Action Corrugated, a Tampa box company, in five to seven weeks.
Wednesday afternoon he was parked on a recliner, watching television and hoping to ride along this weekend while his friends play golf.
The Zephyrhills Dixie Softball League, which he helps oversee, will hold its planning meetings inside Tom's house so he can attend.
Tom also received a paycheck for last week, leading him to believe that his leave from work will, indeed, be paid.
"Tommy acts like he hasn't done anything special and it's just an ordinary thing," Dozier said, "but he's given her life."

Just before the official launch of the Android M, Sony has come forward and announced the Android developer preview version of the Android M for its Sony Xperia devices. Sony in its blog said, before Android M goes official, we have decided to give developers some time to test their apps and get used to the new API's.
Google's Nexus devices have always been the first to run the latest Android OS. But, it looks like Sony has broken that tradition. Sony has not only beaten the Nexus devices in running the new OS but also big players like Samsung, HTC, LG and Motorola.
Currently, Sony has released the Android M preview version for the following Xperia devices – Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia T3.
Releasing an Android developer version is a real good thing done by Sony and we hope other manufacturers follow Sony's footsteps. A developer version before the official release does help the developers to test and develop apps that would run and support the OS.
This news does give us an idea regarding Sony's plan of running the Android M on its devices. Currently, there is a dozen of those Xperia devices and hopefully after the official launch of Android M we will see more Xperia devices running the new OS.

Battling Literacy
I've heard it argued that to help battle illiteracy, parents should read the daily newspaper with their children. This will stimulate their minds, inform them about the world around them and help them develop a lifelong love of reading. That may work well in some parts of the country, but up here in northern Idaho, we're all rugged individualists. We don't like to follow other people's trends, but make our own. And where is this screw-you attitude most apparent? In our daily newspapers, apparently. The names, faces and stories have been blurred to protect the innocent, but the headlines are there in all their glory. Oh, what beautiful Annivyrsariys, Wyddings, Engagymynts and 4Births . . .

Today I want to invite you into my mindset around branding and conversion.
What I find interesting is that if you're not getting the sales you want, you think you need to market harder or in a different way. You rarely think about the possibility of an issue around your branding. Today, I'm going to expose you to the real problem….
(also, see below for real actionable branding tips you can use in your business!)
You could do ALL the marketing in the whole world – and you could do it perfectly! – but when that traffic comes back to your website you'll find out if your branding is a winner or a loser. And that's the truth.
Your brand is a winner if you're getting sales and optins and more importantly, engagement. Your brand is a loser if it feels like you're pulling teeth to get optins, it's "hard" to get your audience to communicate with you, and your business as a whole feels like it's just barely chugging along.
Aj Amyx and Andy Zitzmann approached me after hearing me speak at The Branding Summit last fall. They loved my spin on branding and wanted to go deeper into the conversation by interviewing me for their MEGA marketing summit.
Get access to my 1-hour interview by clicking here.
It is so important to me that you get VALUE from every single blog post I write, so I'm going to take a sec to offer a few great branding reminders:
- Be conversational in your writing (this applies to blogging, email marketing and especially social media)
- Market to ONE person… not an entire audience. When you try to be all things to all people, your message is generalized and it won't convert.
- Always be authentic and never try to mold your writing or content around what you see others doing
- Take the time to determine your "core message" so all of your content has consistent tone and value
- Have a steady focus on your brand as your company grows. Your brand is meant to evolve over time and without that steady focus, your audience will disengage from you
I want to be able to tell you exactly how to improve your brand in this email, but you'd be reading it for a really long time and I want to save you from that. So instead, I want you to click here and register for the Summit and then you'll get my very specific action steps to improve your brand and overall conversion.
- We talked about the biggest myths around branding (your beliefs will be shattered and the truth will be presented to you)…
- I went through, step-by-step, the branding exercise my clients pay me $400 for.
- We talked about how to approach market research, when to take action, and how to convert. It was a killer training session and I know it will make the difference in your conversion if you listen to it.
(Of course, that just scratches the surface of what I taught…)
Get access to my 1-hour interview by clicking here.
Once you're done learning the content please send me an email and let me know what you thought + your questions. I'm happy to answer them for free to support your journey.
With gratitude for you,
Amber Vilhauer

text: We're about to head out the door for an impromptu weekend getaway to the mountains. I decided last weekend that the boys and I needed a weekend of fun and frolic before the holiday crazies start. So, I booked a real, authentic 125 year old cabin in the mountains for this weekend. (It's a real cabin, but the owners made sure to retrofit it with electricity, running water, even central heat & air some years ago. It even has a full kitchen now.) I may be completely out of my mind, but the difficult children and I will be spending the next 5 hours on the road, then the next 3 days and 2 nights exploring the Smoky Mountains - Cherokee, The Blueridge Parkway, etc. I'm excited! I think it's the perfect reward for all the work I've been doing lately & the difficult children beautiful behavior since shortly before Thanksgiving. Keep your fingers crossed that we all weather the trip with no gfgness, no attitudes, and no new gray hairs. See you guys when we get home!

CollegeHumor.com has a funny video on the new advancements with Bing.com and how it is revolutionizing search for consumers!
Actually Bing does have some nice usability features and is quite an improvement over it's predecessor, Live.com. Will be interesting to see if MSFT's advertising and branding campaigns can keep Bing more top-of-mind for searchers in an attempt to swipe some marketshare from Google & Yahoo! Surprising that they have not added in a sound component when you "Bing!" — like a bell at a front desk.

Adicolor Yellow
These posters with die-cuts were posted over existing colorful posters to create ad-hoc designs.
Creative Director: John Mescall
Art Directors: Malcolm Chambers, Rebecca Newman
It won the recent CLIO Awards. However, it's not a fresh idea:
- Zoo poster with stencil of animals.
- Headache pills, with stencil of human head placed on walls with crack.
- Previous adidas' adicolor billboard using blank billboard and leave it for graffitti aritsts to do the job, and adidas paste over a shoe stencil over the graffitti. Exactly the same thing.
Promoting vandalism? I don't know.
Award winner. I'm sure!
good and simple idea. but the typhography is too boring. pity.

A new baby bottle designed to emulate how a baby feeds at the breast is now on sale in Mothercare.
The Calma baby bottle from Medela is designed to help babies maintain the same method of feeding they naturally learn when breastfeeding – making a transition from breast to bottle, and back to breastfeeding again, much smoother, says the company.
Medela says the bottle has been years in the making, with research from lactation experts helping to shape the design.
Calma baby feeding bottle
The Calma marks a move away from how conventional baby bottles work. Usually a bottle allows the milk to flow freely to the baby even when they're not actively sucking for it, which Medela says can make babies reluctant to return to breastfeeding.
The Calma's teat forces babies to suck, so they have to 'work' for the milk instead – much as they would when breastfeeding.
Paul Furlong, managing director of Medela UK, describes the baby bottle as 'providing breastfeeding mothers with a real solution to feeding expressed breastmilk'.
The Calma baby bottle is BPA-free and available for £11.99 in Mothercare.

The literary creations inspired by Edinburgh over several hundred years are many and varied. At this time of year, with the city festooned in attractions and light displays, it is always worth dusting down a Victorian classic for a reminder of the true spirit of Christmas.
A stroll through the Canongate Kirkyard on a bright, but bitterly cold day offered a reminder that this was the place that had inspired Charles Dickens to write A Christmas Carol.
He had been intrigued on an evening walk through the same graveyard in 1841 by an inscription on a tombstone, which he wrongly believed described a certain Alexander Scroggie as a "mean man" – rather than meal man, thanks to his success as a corn merchant.
Two years later the miserly legend was born along with Dickens' heart-warming tale of redemption for his Scrooge character and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come.
Nearly two centuries on it appears the mean-spirited ways of Scrooge are still haunting Edinburgh. It was bad enough that the city council decided to cut back on Christmas lights in its town centres this year - a classic piece of penny-pinching that literally sent the city back to the dark ages. Bear in mind this is the same local authority that is funding a six-week winter festival which generates more than £240 million for the economy.
Now the council has triggered its own festive silly season by entertaining the notion that it might stage silent fireworks displays in future.
I can't believe for a minute that Tory councillor Joanna Mowat thought that her ridiculous suggestion would be taken forward.
Imagine her surprise at having to deal with a flurry of media enquiries after her fellow councillors thought it would be a good idea to use time and resources to try explore the idea.
I suspect Cllr Mowat was spurred into action by a recent announcement that the biggest ever "midnight moment" was being planned in the capital on Hogmanay to kick-start celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of the Edinburgh Festival.
Despite clear warnings just over a year ago from consultants about the risks of complacency in Edinburgh about its festivals, here was a politician actively campaigning to dilute one of the most prominent features of the city's events.
Dogs in the street realise the global publicity that is generated every summer and winter by the remarkable photography and footage of fireworks above Edinburgh Castle during the Tattoo, the Edinburgh International Festival and the Hogmanay celebrations.
It has been found that Edinburgh's festivals now support more than 6,000 jobs - up by a quarter in the space of just five years.
Yet Cllr Mowat says she is being inundated with complaints about Edinburgh being turned into a "tourist city," as if this is something to be feared rather than nurtured and developed.
She also gives the impression of being more concerned about the impact of fireworks on animal welfare than jobs.
I suspect Cllr Mowat has had her ear bent by some over-sensitive constituents in the New Town.
I cannot help but wonder how many of those who live in this part of the city benefit from letting out their lavish properties during the city's festivals. For the remainder, perhaps Cllr Mowat should organise an alternative night out for them in a dreary location where they can wallow in their collective misery.

Six-Fing Thing :: Self-Portrait as a Venerable Shrub
The world the Six-Fing Thing inhabits is a strange one. Blue civilizations are born and collapse in a splash of technicolor sound, gypsy caravans tinker with sputtering Moog synthesizers as they wind through mountain passes. And the legion of chimps previously hammering at typewriters in attempt to replace the works of Shakespeare are now fiddling with pneumatic musical devices of unknown origin to rewrite Stravinski.

Report: Ryan Braun tested positive for medication, not PEDs
Ever since Major League Baseball announced he had tested positive for a banned substance Dec. 10, Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun has proclaimed his innocence. The celebrity journalism specialists over at TMZ reported Monday that Braun tested positive for "medication he's taking for a private medical issue — NOT performance enhancing drugs."
TMZ adds:
The nature of Braun's medical ailment is unclear.
It probably won't matter in MLB's eyes if Braun received only a "medical" benefit from using a banned substance, even if by "accident." Unless the samples Braun submitted were tainted during the chain of custody, he's going down.
Victor Conte agrees, saying that nothing short of a miracle will prevent Braun from serving a 50-game suspension in 2012 — like Manny Ramirez had to do in 2009. Appearing on KNBR radio this past week, Conte said the tactics of Braun's attorneys probably will fail: {YSP:MORE}
"The first thing I hear that they're saying is it's an extremely high level, the highest that's ever been recorded. Are they talking about in baseball or are they talking about in general? … I'm not sure about that, but this is a double-whammy for him. Unless there's some chain-of-custody issue, other technical problem during the collection and transport process, he's basically dead in the water. … I believe he's going to serve the 50-game suspension."
If anybody indirectly involved knows what's going on with Braun getting flagged, it's Conte, the BALCO founder and player in the Barry Bonds saga who still works at the forefront of the sports nutrition and conditioning business. Conte also reminds us that the era of players using PEDs isn't over. It's simply more sophisticated:
"[W]hat they're doing is using fast-acting testosterone — creams, gels, orals, patches — and they clear so quickly, sometimes in a matter of hours. … They could conceivably, after a game, use testosterone to help with tissue repair and healing and recovery and by the time they'd show up at the park the next day, their PE ratio would be normal. I always knew there was this giant loophole that you could drive a Mack truck through."
It might be unpopular to say, but if these drugs really aid "tissue repair" and what not, it should be considered good for the game, not bad. One day, the stigma of PEDs will lessen and we'll be encouraging our professional athletes — not punishing them — for trying to heal faster.

This past weekend I decided it was time I sit down and watch the movie 13 hours. I had been putting it off for too long, and I thought it was about time I see it.
Not only was I awake at 3 in the morning on my couch, my blanket pulled up to my nose, silently crying. But I was deep in my thoughts about what really happened in Benghazi, how part of the left so mercilessly brushes off this tragic event, and the role that Hillary Clinton played. I had to rant a little bit about it on The College Conservative.
I was and am still not planning on voting for Mrs. Clinton. Her beliefs do not reflect my own, and her actions are not what I want to see our next president portray. Her history is too murky, marking her as an untrustworthy and unfit representative for this nation. And honestly, I'm sick and tired of people trying to convince me to vote for her in order to keep Donald J. Trump out of the White House. So let me explain to you people the following:
Just because Hillary is a woman does not mean she is entitled to be President, I'm sick and tired of all you feminists out there using that argument.
"A vote for Hillary is a vote for equality."
"You should vote for Hillary because she's a woman."
In all honesty, I don't care what gender she is. If she is not fit for the job, she is not fit for the job. Putting your agenda in front of what is good for this nation will get you and everyone else, absolutely no where. I mean, look at what happened in Brazil when they elected a woman, who was clearly not capable of being productive, to be President.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has been suspended from office pending an impeachment trial over accusations that she illegally manipulated government accounts…
According to a Datafolha poll (in Portuguese) released on 11 April, 63% of respondents across the country said her government was "bad or terrible", with only 13% saying it was "good or excellent".
Please tell me what are Mrs. Clintons actual qualifications. What experience does she have in terms of representing a large body of people? What does her track record of helping American citizens look like? What has she done to benefit this entire or even a portion of this country? Please, tell me.
And spare me the "she was Secretary of State" argument because that position does not mean she is even the slightest bit prepared to be president.
And this is where I bring in the two typical, but extremely legitimate arguments: Benghazi and her email scandal.
Just for you knowledge, no one should have been in Benghazi to begin with but –
"there was a covert weapons scheme going on in Libya, Benghazi. We had been supplying radical Islamists with weapons against Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi, effectively supplying the enemy and destabilizing that country. And it seems that there was a CIA weapons buy-back program, the aim of which was to ship the retrieved weapons out of Libya through Turkey, and to the Islamist forces in Syria."
If you want a time line of the events, BBC News reported one. But that's not the point. Four people died in Benghazi: US ambassador Christopher Stevens, his state department colleague Sean Smith and former Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
And to this day Hillary shows absolutely no remorse over the fact that this happened under her watch back in September of 2012 while she was Secretary of State. She went so far as to say "what difference does it make?"
I can tell you what difference it makes Madame Secretary: four people would still be alive today. People would probably be able to trust you. But hey, you made your bed now you have to sleep in it.
She consistently blamed the attacks as a result of a video, lying to the faces of these victims families.
Breitbart reported:
Tyrone Woods's father reported that she [Hillary Clinton] told him, "We are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son." Sean Smith's mother recently repeated this, saying, "She said it was because of the video." Glen Doherty's sister said she chose "in that moment to basically perpetuate what she knew was untrue."
In public remarks Clinton said, "We've seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with."
On September 11, 2012, she told her daughter that the "officers were killed in Benghazi by an al Qaeda-like group." On the morning of September 12 she told an Egyptian diplomat, "We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack — not a protest."
She was asked about this during a Democratic debate. CNS News reported what Mrs. Clinton responded:
Ramos followed up: "But Secretary Clinton, what they're saying is that — what the families are saying is that you told your daughter Chelsea one thing and a different thing to them."
"Jorge, that makes my point. At the time I e-mailed with my daughter, a terrorist group had taken credit for the attacks on our facility in Benghazi. Within 16, 18 hours, they rescinded taking credit."
I call bull crap on that one. She knew she was blatantly lying, and now she has to cover her tracks in order to 'appeal to the American people.'
Now for her email scandal. Hillary Clinton has been under FBI investigation for approximately one year for the mishandling of classified information on her email server. Now although her case has come to a close, and James Comey proved that this career politician is in fact above the law, he did label her actions as "extremely careless."
"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."
I'm sure that people who get drunk and get behind the wheel of the car don't intend to injure or kill people, but sometimes they do. And they still get sentenced to some time in jail/prison. So for Hillary, she may not have intended to break the law, but she still did. And for some reason she still got off scot free.
James Comey, you're a joke. You had the opportunity to go down in history as 'the guy' who took down Hillary Rodham Clinton. But you ruined that. You tanked your reputation along with the FBI's reputation. *slowly claps*
President Obama went out and campaigned with Hillary shortly after Comey's speech, and stated that the next U.S. President can't be "reckless."
Oh the immense and consistent hypocrisy of these two never ceases to amaze me.
And last but not least, there's the Clinton Foundation scandal. Which, if you're interested in learning more about it, feel free to purchase Peter Schweizer's book Clinton Cash. But to sum it up for you, the Clinton Foundation once had a ban on accepting donations from foreign governments. This was put in place in 2009 under President Obama's request when Hillary took on the position as Secretary of State. But after she left in 2013, the foundation suddenly started taking millions of dollars worth of donations from governments in countries like Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
But as it turns out, the Clinton Foundation was actually accepting this money during the time that Mrs. Clinton was Secretary of State.
Violating laws aren't an unusual thing for this woman to do, if you haven't realized that already.
To conclude, I could go on and talk about how she's lied and flip-flopped over the years. But it's not worth it because most of you can come back at me and use the "she's changed" argument.
The three things I discussed above are the most important things to highlight when explaining your own reasoning for not voting for Hillary. Her gender doesn't make her above anyone else or more qualified to do anything. I can be just as critical of her and expect just as much from her as I would a male presidential candidate. She doesn't get cut any slack. And her scandals…. well that just makes her untrustworthy. And don't you want to be able to trust your next president with their finger on the nuke button?

Prater for Kids Products?Submitted by isabelle gerrard on 8 April 2010 - 2:21pm
Hi all, I'm new to this forum and am hoping for some advice, as fonts are not my strong-suit. I need to choose a font to represent a company producing products for little kids (2-6) - it will be used for the logo and product names too. Think fun & crafty.
My favorite is Prater - http://www.fontshop.com/fonts/downloads/fontfont/ff_prater_ot/
It seems playful, and the different formats would be useful for different applications as the company grows.
Other contenders were Handsome, Bello, and Klepto, but they didn't seem as flexible. What do you guys think about using Prater? Or any other suggestions?

Stefan Bright authored an article on suspended scaffold safety for the new issue of SA – the magazine of the Scaffold and Access Industry Association
Sort of an overview on the topic with a few tips and advice to thoroughly train, document and have all OSHA regs on hand.
The article doesn't actually mention the IWCA or the I-14 window cleaning safety standard, but the postscript mentions Stefan is IWCA Safety Director.
This may be a sign the SAIA merck propecia coupons is going to be more involved in window cleaning.
Both associations, IWCA and SAIA, are managed by the same company – Robstan Group, and late last year the SAIA announced it had formed an alliance with the IWCA.
The SAIA website makes note of an alliance with the IWCA
– but the IWCA hasn't made any announcement. My guess is the IWCA is saving that news for the convention.

How to Better Your eCommerce Site
The world of online shopping is always growing. As more and more customers choose to buy products or services online, the need for a strong eCommerce site is crucial for a business's success. If a website isn't easy to navigate and products are difficult to find, customers can easily move on to a different company to buy what they need.
Companies should always be looking for ways to improve their eCommerce site. If you're looking for new systems, processes or ideas to implement on your eCommerce page, here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind.
Use High-Quality Images and Videos
The need for high-quality images is nothing new. If you sold products through a catalog or print ad before moving online, you probably already understand the difference a high-quality image of your product can make when pushing a sale.
Always use quality photographs to show your products to your customer. Use zoom features, multiple angles or even videos to show your customer all the product details. As an example, ASOS uses a video feature to show their clothing products, allowing online shoppers to get a better idea of how the item will fit.
Create an Easy-to-Follow Navigation Scheme
When a customer comes directly to your site, your navigation should make it easy for them to find what they're looking for. But if you sell a variety of products, limited navigation can be difficult to follow. On the other hand, if you try to have too many major categories, your visitors may never be able to find what they're looking for.
When creating your navigation scheme, consider the way your audience may think to look for items. Using Nordstrom as an example, you can clearly explore the different departments across the main navigation. Then, each department is broken down into more specific categories, allowing your customer to go directly to the section of the store their item is located within.
Present Coupons and Discounts
Using an eCommerce site is beneficial for both you and your customer. As a way that allows your customer to shop whenever they wish, eCommerce can help you bring in more business. To encourage visitors to make a purchase, you should offer an incentive or special for customers that book or buy online.
Carolina CAT does an excellent job of presenting this with their Deals & Specials page. Within this page, online customers can get an overview of what discounts they may be able to take advantage of, which encourages them to make a purchase.
Provide On-Demand Customer Service
We're used to having things on demand. If we have a question, we want it answered as quickly as possible. So, if a customer has a question or concern about a purchase they're considering, you want to be able to provide them with the information they need as quickly and as accurately as possible.
Having a variety of ways to ask that question can ensure you're giving the best answer to a confused customer while they're still interested in the product. Fitbit does an awesome job at telling customers the various ways they can contact support, even providing them with an estimated answer time.
Show Similar Products
Sometimes our customers select a product that's almost what they're looking for, but is just a little bit off. It may be the wrong color, may not have a feature they thought they wanted or be outside their price range. To ensure they're seeing all their options before determining whether or not they want to make a purchase, you should show them the similar products you have to offer.
As the largest eCommerce site around, Amazon.com does an awesome job at presenting products similar to the one the customer is viewing. With clear images and easy-to-identify price points, customers can see whether or not there's a product that better fits their needs or budget.
Make Checkout Easy
When a customer is finally ready to check out with the products they've selected, you want to make it as easy as possible for them to enter their shipping address and payment details. If you bombard your customer with too many hoops to jump through, such as having to sign up for an account or verify an email address, they may decide the product just isn't worth it.
Keep your checkout process easy, like the checkout page for Adidas. On the checkout page, you can clearly see where to enter your shipping information, what products you have in your cart and how much the final sale will be. You can also see that customers can easily check out as a guest, input their login information or register with Adidas if they'd like to.
Keep on Improving
Whether you're designing a new eCommerce page or you're looking for ways to improve the one you already have, you need to consider the experience of your user. Because you want to make it as easy as possible for your customer to find what they're looking for, add it to their cart and make the final purchase, you don't want to set up too many hurdles that may push them to turn back.
Consider these six tips and examples when designing your eCommerce page, but remember to make it your own. Create a page that speaks to your own unique audience and has their needs, goals and preferences in mind.

To: Darcie Drymon
Hi Darcie, My ministry life has changed and become more effective since I attended the workshop at Nairobi. As I said in Nairobi, the workshop was a dream come true. The following is a story of activities that are result of topics we discussed in Nairobi:
- On my return from Nairobi, the church I worship with had organized a crusade in a community named "small London" and had about 80 converts. The problem now was how to follow them up. When I shared what I had learned in Nairobi, my Pastor asked me if I can help with the follow up. I agreed and for a start, I showed the "Walking with Jesus" videos and "My Last Day" cartoon for 4 Mondays consecutively (one episode a week). The follow-up is moving on well and some are enrolling for baptism. I plan to use more of the materials as the follow up continues.
- A church invited me to show the a film of my choice during her Children's week. I showed "My Last Day" cartoon and the first episode of the "Walking with Jesus" video and about 30 kids prayed to receive Christ.
- A language community (Jenjo) is translating the Luke script in preparation for the Luke stories Video.
- I have used video pictures of Judges in the Children Sunday School classes in my church.
- Last Sunday during an evangelism talk in my church, I was able to correct the wrong impression that my pastor has towards youths owning a smartphone by explaining the more useful ways to use the smartphone to enhance personal academic and spiritual growth and evangelism.

Biology is one of the original natural sciences, even reaching back as far as the study of anatomy in ancient Egypt, where evidence has been found of surgery, forensics, and anatomical knowledge of both organ structure and function. Biology in general is the study of life and living organisms, with specific attention to function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Modern biology is becoming an interdisciplinary field, overlapping with biomedical engineering, molecular chemistry, and genetics. The biological sciences recognize the cell as the basic unit of life, and DNA as the basic unit of heredity. Moreover, all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy via respiration or photosynthesis, and by regulating their internal environment via homeostasis.
The life sciences are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, in that biochemistry focuses on chemical processes of life while molecular biology involves molecules and protein synthesis. Cellular biology may be broken down further into a structural analysis of cell organelles and lipid membrane boundries, such as in skin tissue or alveolar sacs in the lungs. In the field of genetic engineering, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) may be spliced together from different organisms, in an attempt to transfer hereditary traits that may increase crop yields, create a supply of stem-cells, or even clone sheep. Beyond major requirements within the evolutionary biology department, you may consider North Carolina State University medical training as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

DDB Worldwide presents "social creativity†at Asia's Marketing Effectiveness Festival
New York : Chuck Brymer, president and CEO of DDB Worldwide, presented the network's philosophy of "social creativity" at Asia's Marketing Effectiveness Festival (AMEs) in Shanghai, May 12, 2011, marking the first time the viewpoint has been officially presented in China.
Brymer demonstrated that expanding digital communities, along with the simultaneous rise in trust in friends and families, have changed the role and impact of marketing communications in Asia and worldwide.
"Successful marketing today uses a different formula than it did in the past. It requires new thinking, new approaches, and new ways of working. At DDB we believe creativity is the most powerful force in business—creativity so powerful that people want to play with, participate in and pass it along.
"The forces of technology and choice are giving consumers greater power than ever before. That's the essence of effectiveness, great creative with a big idea that lives and builds momentum. It's these ideas that connect not only people with brands, but people with people. At DDB we call this social creativity: A new way of talking about, thinking about and creating work."
Chuck demonstrated how, done right, social creativity can change people's behavior. The work he shared included some of DDB's award-winning campaigns, such as Philips' "Parallel Lines," Volkswagen's "Fun Theory" and the China Environmental Protection Foundation's "Green Pedestrian Crossing."
"In the past, communications were sent to you as an individual and this is where the message ended. For a campaign to be effective, this is only the beginning of the journey," he said. "Innovation is the engine of change and innovation is driven by ideas. Ideas are the currency that allows us to change the world, to create attitudinal beliefs, to define social standards and, yes, hopefully compel someone to want to wear something, want to eat something or want to drive something. A campaign communicated effectively can do this very well."
