The law that allows us to root/jailbreak our devices with out any legal action is now about to expire. Personally I root because I am tired or oems forcing us ti have unremovable bloatware and not supporting their devices. Yes some oems are better than other with providing updates but we have seen them release devices and refuse to provide updates. Thanks to rooting/jailbreaking users have the freedom to do what ever they want with their devices with out penalty of law. Yes we may void our warranty but that is far better than being treated like a criminal. Yes some people use rooting/jailbreaking for malicious reasons but the majority of us including iphone users just want to modify our devices. So whether you own an android or an iphone if you love to root/jailbreak then we need to act to ensure we preserve our rights to do so. So spread the news to all android users and iphone users alike speak up and be heard.
Thanks to android central for the article, please see this site for more info.

Questions Young People Ask Before Marriage by Fr. Donald Miller, C.SS.R.
On Marrying a Relative
Several years ago I fell in love with my second cousin. We had planned to be married by my parish priest (with a dispensation), but my mother was so violently opposed to the idea that I could not even talk to her about it.
Finally I called off the engagement. Several months ago I met a young man in the armed forces, and we started going together until he was sent overseas. I am very fond of him and we correspond regularly.
Meanwhile I see my cousin now and then and I know he is still in love with me. I feel guilty about having hurt him. Do you think I am still in love with him, or did I do the right thing in breaking off our engagement?
It is always good to escape from a situation in which you have to apply for a dispensation from the general laws governing marriage. There are serious reasons behind the law that prohibits relatives (second cousins or closer) to marry.
A wedding between cousins is not quite a normal wedding, and though the Church does grant a dispensation for such in exceptional cases and for grave reasons, she does so with reluctance, preferring to see her children marry without seeking exceptions to the natural and ecclesiastical law.
Things have turned out so well for you that you have reason to be grateful that obstacles prevented your marriage to a cousin. Your feeling for the latter is now more one of sympathy and pity than of real love.
You should not accept any dates with him, because that would only make things difficult both for him and you. You are bound to see him when there is a gathering of relatives, but on such occasions you should avoid as much as possible, tete-a-tetes and sad reminiscences.
You need have no fear that his life will be ruined as a result of your broken engagement. Just as you have been fortunate enough to find anew boy friend, so he, in time, will find someone whom he can love and will want to marry. Neither of you will then have to go through life with the thought that you broke through the barriers that nature has set up to prevent close relatives from marrying each other.
On Reading Books about Sex
Is it lawful or advisable for engaged couples to read one or the other of the many books that are published about sex and the details of married life before they are married? My boy friend and I have heard our non-Catholic friends talking about such books, and have even been offered one by a friend.
He thinks we should read it because so much is said nowadays about the harm done by ignorance in the married. I have held off because I had my doubts about such books, and wanted first to ask you to discuss the matter in your column.
This much can be said as certain: It would be exceedingly dangerous, so much so as to be wrong, for an engaged couple to read any books on sex that might be offered to them by a friend.
On no type of writing must more caution and discrimination be exercised than on books dealing with matters of sex. There are too many bad books of this kind, books that teach immoral practices, books that stress the importance of the physical aspects of sex far out of proportion to their real place and purpose in human lives, to make it lawful for even engaged couples to pick up and read any book about sex.
Another thing that is certain: There should be no thought of any sort of special study, or reading or discussion of sex science until very shortly before actual marriage. This is assuming that a young man and woman have the ordinary, general knowledge of the purpose of sex and of sex morality that is a part of any decent education.
If, as happens once in a while, that much is lacking, a general briefing on the subject should be sought from a priest.
But to read detailed, or so-called "scientific" books before marriage would be foolhardy and wrong.
It is not wrong, but rather reasonable and even necessary, for an engaged couple to seek clear knowledge of the privileges and duties, the rights and wrongs, of married life, shortly before their marriage.
The priest who prepares them for marriage has an obligation to impart such instruction. If he fails to offer it, a couple should ask for it, or go to another priest to receive it. He may direct them to sound and good reading matter that will supplement the instruction he gives and help to prepare them for happy married life.
"A young woman who prevails on her fiancé to approach the Sacraments with her at regular intervals builds up a strong bulwark against improper advances and obtains the best guarantee for a happy future.True love gives strength of character and assists in the acquisition of self-control. It never takes advantage of another for the sake of personal gratification. Good and pure-minded women inspire respect and make the task of a young man easy, for he will have no difficulty in keeping the right distance." – Fr.

Liberty, liberty, liberty!
[from the stabenow.com vaults, 2007]
April 16
[a long time ago in a Central American port far, far away continued…]
The Captain has signed the new liberty policy but has decided not to implement it, although it is understood that the crew's behavior here will determine whether it goes into effect at the next port. Nevertheless, each crew member must have at least one buddy he or she goes on liberty with, and they can't switch buddies once they're on shore. (The Captain and the XO constituted themselves my buddies, so no opportunity for me to wander off, get falling down drunk, pick up a local lothario and be seduced and abandoned. Ain't gonna happen when you're under escort by The Twin Towers.)
We arrive at the dock at 1000. Shortly thereafter the crew lines up in the main deck passageway for their biannual compulsory weigh in. Later they line up from the pier, up the gangway, across the flight deck, down the stairs to the fantail and in the back door to the galley to load supplies. Fuel tankers roll up and the A-gangers go to work.
For everyone else, liberty sounds at 1400. Five minutes later the first crew members in shorts, T-shirts and flipflops sign out with the Quarterdeck and show the OOD that they have their identification, their visa, and their buddy. They slide their name on the crew board from green to red and they are history. Many of them are renting hotel rooms on shore for the duration of our port call so they can take real showers and get away from the noise of the ship. And each other, insofar as ship's rules allow.
The next day, the HA has arranged with a local agency to take 22 of us into the mountains, and at 0800 we muster at the end of the pier to be assigned ponies and head out.
A river through the jungle. An open-air restaurant for lunch with hot, hot salsa and cold, cold beer. A huge jungle swing. A waterfall cascading down a rock face into a deep forest pool. Steps carved into the hillside to a zipline ride through the canopy. Toucans. Wildflowers, lilac water lilies, a flaming red torch flower, deep pink hibiscus, magenta bouganvillea. A warm, torrential thundershower on the ride home.
Underway, you forget there is anything but the continuous rumble of the engines, the faint but omnipresent smell of exhaust, the sway of the deck beneath your feet, the forced intimacy with the rest of the crew. Everyone from command to the chiefs to the crew members themselves work hard to stay focussed, energetic, positive, but it wears on the spirit.
A day like this? It's not just a day off the ship.
It's a day out of time.

A Secret Place
"So," said Bernie, "there we were in this cave."
"He loves caves," Suzie said. "For some deep psychological reason."
Bernie blushed. That hardly ever happens, and only with Suzie. "It turned out to be one of those caves that gets narrower and narrower. Pretty soon we were crawling along, me and Chet."
I remembered that part. Bernie is one of those real slow crawlers.
"And then, way at that back, we saw a tiny chink of light – a cave with two openings, if you get the idea. We squeezed through this back opening and found ourselves high up on a steep rise, with sheer rocky walls on all sides and down below, completely in shadow, this miniature canyon, a square no bigger than half an acre or so. The kind of place that's invisible except maybe from the air."
"And there was something down there?" said Lt. Stine.
"Don't rush me," said Bernie.

It's completely normal for a straight man to look at women's boobs
Is it normal for my man to be so attracted to boobs that even though mine are beautiful and perfect, my boyfriend still wants to look at every other woman with a set of big boobs that he can? Aren't mine enough?
> Boyfriend Ogles Other Breasts
You sound like a new reader, BOOB, so before we get to the advice, I wanna welcome you to the Savage Love family. With that out of the way…
Nope, yours aren't enough.
Yep, it's normal for a straight man to look at women's boobs—boobs on the woman he's with, boobs on women he's not with, and boobs on women who don't technically exist and can't be gotten with, e.g., Veronica Lodge, Lara Croft, Nicki Minaj. Did you think checking out boobs was a symptom of leukemia or something? And while your set may be practically perfect in every possible way—which would make you the Mary Poppins of boobs—your man is still gonna check out other women's sets.
But your man shouldn't be a dick about it. Although it's perfectly normal for a partnered straight guy to check out other women—just as it's perfectly normal for a partnered straight woman to check out other men (see you at Magic Mike this weekend, ladies)—your man should be discreet. He can train himself to look without looking like he's looking; he can learn to check out other women without ogling them. It's not about hiding the fact that he's looking; it's about caring enough to take your feelings into consideration, BOOB, to say nothing of the feelings of the other women he's checking out.
And if he can look without being an inconsiderate dick about it, BOOB, you should let him look without being an insecure bitch about it—don't blow up or melt down if you catch him taking a quick, subtle look at another woman's boobs. Because if he's considerate enough to be discreet, BOOB, you can be considerate enough to turn a blind eye.
I've been with my boyfriend since I was 15. I'm 20 now. In all the time we've been together, I've never had an orgasm. For a long time, I wanted to get a vibrator, but my boyfriend hated that idea and never wanted me to get one because he says he already feels like crap that he can't get me off. Recently, I thought, "What the hell—I want to see what happens!" So I bought one on my own. The very first time I used it, I got off in two minutes. Now I feel stupid for not buying one sooner. My question is…
How do I tell him? Should I tell him? He always wanted to be the first person to give me an orgasm, and as far as he knows, I still haven't had one.
> Couldn't Wait Forever
Tell your boyfriend you bought a vibrator, CWF. If the boyfriend has a sad about your purchase—and your ability to climax (congrats!)—tell him that some women require the kind of intense, focused stimulation that only a vibrator can provide in order to get off, and, as it turns out, you're one of those women. And he can still be the first person to give you an orgasm: he can give you one with a vibrator in his hand. And if he acts like an insecure bitch about it, CWF, if he blows up or melts down, well…
New vibrator, newly orgasmic—maybe it's time for a new boyfriend, too?
I am a woman who has been with my male partner for one year. We live together and get along well. Our relationship is "monogamish", and we're both totally GGG. The thing is, our sex has dwindled rapidly. I have a high sex drive and would prefer to be having sex more often. It really sucks being turned down all the time. When I bring it up, he gets mad and says I'm making him feel bad. But, honestly, all I'm doing is letting him know that I'm hot for him. I am not trying to make him feel bad or put pressure on him. I now ignore my sexual urges unless he initiates something. But I feel hurt when he tells me how much he masturbates. He masturbates when I'm at work and when I'm asleep. He is always masturbating. As much as I enjoy self-pleasuring and know it's good for a person to do, it seems he would rather masturbate than have sex with me. What's a gal to do?
> Sadly Pensive And Neglected Kinkster
A gal is to DTMFA, SPANK.
Couples counsellors and sex-advice professionals have a term for people who rebuff their partner's sexual advances and then go out of their way to inform their partners that they're masturbating while their partners are at work, asleep beside them, et cetera: we call people like that assholes. Because someone who wounds his sex partner through active neglect, salts those wounds by making it clear that he's jerking it in her absence, and then makes his partner feel like she's the bad guy isn't guilty of thoughtless cruelty. He's guilty of intentional, malicious cruelty. Can't you see what your boyfriend has already done to you? He's trained you to "ignore [your] own sexual urges"—he's trained you not to initiate, not to make any demands on him at all—and now you're only sexual when he wants you to be sexual. It doesn't sound like your boyfriend wants a girlfriend, SPANK, it sounds like he wants a Fleshlight that pays half the rent.
CONFIDENTIAL TO PEOPLE WHO WEAR T-SHIRTS: Aydian Dowling was one of the three LGBT youths whose stories were featured in the It Gets Better special on MTV and Logo earlier this year. Like many young trans men, Aydian needs "top surgery"—chest surgery that will bring his body into line with his gender identity—and this expensive surgery isn't covered by health-insurance plans.
"Health insurance in the USA doesn't cover transgender surgeries at all," he says. "They're covered in the U.K., Canada, and Australia. The waiting lists are long, but at least it's covered." Aydian has a job—he's a baker—but he doesn't have health insurance through his workplace. Which means Aydian not only has to pay for his top surgery out of his own pocket, he also has to pay for all the preliminary blood work and tests and any postoperative care that he might need.
"A lot of trans people ask for donations on sites like ChipIn to help cover the costs of their surgeries," Aydian says. "But raising the $6,000 that top surgery costs through donations alone is pretty hard. And I wanted to give something back to people who donated."
To give something back, Aydian designed a line of T-shirts. His T-shirts—which are high-quality, trans-themed, and really fuckin' cool—cost Aydian $10 to produce, and he's selling them for $20. Between the money Aydian and his wife, Jenilee, were given as wedding gifts and the money he's raised selling his T-shirts, Aydian is just $300 from his $6,000 goal.
Aydian had originally planned to stop selling his T-shirts once he hit his goal. But the shirts have been such a hit, Aydian has decided to keep selling them to help pay for other trans men's top surgeries.
You can check out Aydian's shirts at point5cctshirtcompany. The T-shirts are trans-themed—T-Rex!—but anyone can buy and wear them. Check 'em out!

Dear Boyfriend Ogles Other Breasts,
You are not being an "insecure bitch" as Dan (little dick) Savage so eloquently stated you are just a healthy territorial female. Primitively speaking, it is our genetic makeup to be territorial against other females. It is our way of protecting our (potential) offspring and our position in the pack as the alpha female. Whether or not the other female intends your man to be attracted to her you sense that he is and you feel that your position as the alpha is threatened as you should feel because whether or not he admits it he is showing you that your position with him is not secure - that at any moment your position with him can be usurped by the next set of tits that comes along. With that being said if it is totally bothersome for you, just dump him. I choose not to be in relationships anymore because it is very annoying to me that one woman (and her assets) are not enough for a man. They are constantly wanting more (whether or not he's obvious about it). It is not in a man's nature to be monogamous in any way shape or form they are always having to control their urges.
So, while it goes against my genetic makeup as a female (to nest and settle with one man) I am much happier and healthier now mentally and emotionally to be objectifying men just as they do to us. I am having much more fun toying with them and teasing them; loving and leaving them; and listening to them and considering their feelings, thoughts and emotions only as a way to achieve what I want from them. I return their calls and texts at my earliest convenience, whenever I feel like it. I say I'll call and I don't and you know what they do? They go crazy, they call even more. Text even more asking me if it's something they did! LOL! My attitude towards men has only served to make me more desirable and attractive to men. They find my aloofness and complete disregard and disrespect for them actually attractive because in the end men are simple creatures - they always want what they can't have (that's why even though you have a "perfect" set of tits he's still looking at other bitches) and because they are naturally hunters they are always seeking the most unattainable prey. Always remember that no matter how educated, rich, nice, kind, sweet and seemingly civilized a man may appear they are all animals at heart. Men are hunters that want nothing more than to prey upon you and achieve their end goal. It is their nature, their genetic makeup. Primitively speaking, women are the prey and men are the hunters so in defense of being preyed upon women have developed extraordinary instincts or "intuition" to assist in determining when there is an impending threat, when they are being preyed upon and/or toyed with (a hunter may indulge in toying with its prey before killing it and eating it. Or in your case dumping you so he can move on to another pair of "perfect" tits. Killer Whales will playfully toss a seal back and forth to each other before devouring it and then move on to another seal to toy with in the same way before devouring it).
Men feel that when it comes to a woman, a man can always do better. You have one of three options: 1) Be like every other stupid female and assume with a little patience and love you will be able to change what is human male nature or that he will suddenly wake up and realize that you are enough for him. 2) Become the hunter and stop being the prey. Dump his ass and change your world, make it want you want it to be or 3) Play his game. "What's good for the goose is good for gander." So, gander away, just like he does, at anything that catches your fancy. And make sure he sees you doing it too so he knows that you know you have options as well.

OR, you can not be such a judgmental douche-wad and follow the golden rule: Doesn't matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home. Not all men are slavering sex monsters that only care about your vag and how much they can get, but they ALL have a sex drive, just like women. If you are that insecure that you can't handle a little wandering of eyes then you need some help honey. Maybe you have had to deal with some serious idiots or maybe you are being over dramatic, but calm down. You don't need to be territorial, because a man that loves you won't leave you just because some chick has a great rack. If he does, then he's an asshole and you didnt need him anyways. But don't paint all men with the same brush.

apparently there was a study that proved that looking at womens' breasts lowers ones blood pressure because it reminds us of the nourishment we received from our mamas breasts. personally i am not so sure, but breasts do seem to make all of our hearts palpitate with anticipation at some point....

What is Success?
The Merriam-Webster defines it as "the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame,"
or see here a Business Insider article asking several wealthy individuals their definition of success is. You might notice that many if not most of them do not count the wealth and fame as why they consider themselves successful. Yet we would all look at them as successful because they have wealth and fame.
Or you might look at them and say they aren't successful because they don't have my family or the friends I have so they are really successful. If that's how you think, perhaps theirs an air of resentment in your tone because of course, they are successful. Others might think that success is about happiness, for what is success without being happy. Well, this is also certainly true, but someone who is miserable but has changed the world with their success due to their wealth and fame is still successful. In fact, they may be the most successful of all (Keep an eye on Elon Musk, his self-isolation and sadness may single-handedly change the world for the good.)
So what is success? well, a far more accurate realistic definition may simply be achieving the goals you set out for yourself. These could be daily goals or life milestones. When you ask many self-help gurus or those seen as strong leaders they often talk about goal setting.
They are most definitely correct, because who hasn't been ecstatically happy or relieved because they have achieved their goals. These goals don't need to be big grandiose goals like being the next bill gates because goals like that are completely unrealistic for 99% of you no matter how hard you believe. Your goals and reaching them which will define your personal success must be realistic to your ability, skillsets and drive among other things otherwise they will simply be delusional unattainable goals.
Another thing we tend to do with defining success is focusing on the end goal, with smiling photos and happy times without remembering how hard it was sometimes through the journey to achieve the goal. Remember, some goals could be as simple as getting up on time in the morning, other goals could be oh lets see achieving a certain rank in your Krav maga school…
Recently I ran a few Orange Belt tests (and I can assure you UTKM tests are harder earlier than many other Krav Maga tests that I have seen.) and at the end of every test I saw what appeared to be beaten defeated people, yet they had all passed so I had the thought. THIS is what success looks like:
If you just saw these photos without contexts it would be reasonable to assume they are broken or failed. But this is the look of people who gave it everything they had to achieve their goal of getting Orange Belt. In these cases they all passed but could you really tell just from these photos?
The truth about success is we do focus on the end goal. Getting rich, getting the belt, getting up in the morning on a regular basis. But we always seem to forget that it's actually the Journey to success which defines success or not as without the Journey, the learning experience there can be no success. To me, even if they don't think so, these people are successful. For me, they have achieved something hard to achieve, something that many of my students fear, or some avoid because they know that this Journey to success or the goal, is not going to easy because I'm not going to make it easy.
So if success is the Journey + the Goal then there is a reason we must set attainable reasonable goals because the Journey is the hard part, the Goal is just a checkmark on a sheet or a gold star on a paper.
So when you look at the people who you think are successful, (assuming they didn't just get a massive inheritance and did nothing else after) then ask yourself how hard was their Journey to achieve their goals? Whether we admire them for it or resent them for it it does not deny them their Journey.
SO what is Success? its many things, it starts with setting a goal, then having a plan put in place an then the real Journey the Hard work, sweat blood and potentially sleepless nights to get to the goal?
Whatever your definition of success is, just remember, it's going to be a Journey one that will be full of good days and bad says, easy times and hard times. But so long as you can learn and grow in your Journey success may be closer than you think.

ditching google
I've been working on moving away from Google for a while now. I have a lot of reasons, but the primary one is that I don't like the feel of being a product rather than a consumer. I want to be in control of my own data, and how it is used and disseminated. With Google in control of it, I never really felt I had that, and it was only getting worse with time.
Anyway, 2015 has been a good year for making good on this resolution:
- I moved to using DuckDuckGo a few weeks ago
- About a week ago, I migrated my blog's data to Jekyll (which you're reading, right now).
- Most recently, after getting annoyed at Google once again, I finally got annoyed enough to take the last, most drastic step: email, calendaring and contacts.
I was on my second email account with Google. My original one was a Gmail account, created back in 2005 or so (I don't even remember anymore). I stopped using that one in fan of using my own GApps account with my own domain (shared amongst other people in my family) in 2011 or something like that.
My migration plan went something like this:
- Sign up for FastMail (business tier, partly because we're using it as a family, and partly because I actually have my own business, and partly because I want to support FastMail)
- Start FastMail's IMAP import
- Clean up the imported stuff (my email has a long-going reputation for being a junkyard where important things go to die)
- Export ICS/VCard for my calendar & contact data out of Google and import them into FastMail
- Delete everything out of my GMail account
All of this went pretty painlessly, and so far, I'm very happy with the switch. I've found one pretty serious bug with FM's iOS client which I need to report, but aside from that, smooth sailing. I look forward to writing my own JMAP client, when FastMail's servers support it.
At this point, I've still got the Google account open (but now, dataless) so that I can keep G+. That (and occasional recreational YouTube video watching) are the only things I still have Google in my life for, and it feels pretty good.

A 4mm standard lead margin, and the ability to reduce tape waste down to 1mm is an industry leading cost saving feature.

Never lose a label with our special "Drop-Stop" feature. This is especially handy with the LW-PX900's exclusive "Pick-and-Print" mode. The printer will automatically wait to print and cut the next label in a batch. With these portable label printers all you have to do is print, grab, and go!
Auto-cut and half-cut come standard in this powerful hand held label printer, and an industry first "Mixed Length" option saves you significant time by allowing you to create variable length labels in a single print! The eight bar-code formats including 2D QR codes, 1000+ symbols, and multiple design effects expand application diversity and expand use for many other labeling needs. Auto alphanumeric sequencing plus repeat and reversed color printing add to the flexibility of label and heat-shrink tube creation.

DW045 United Bible Studies / So As To Preserve the Mystery
United Bible Studies return to Deep Water with what may be one of the crowning achievements of their ongoing musical journey. Since 2001 the Ireland/UK-based experimental folk ensemble has explored sounds ranging from traditional balladry to avant-garde noise; and while So As To Preserve The Mystery features plenty of the haunting vocal melodies and collective improvisation for which the group is known, it also rises beyond any genre and stylistic limits via an extended compositional logic that feels both centuries old and brand new. Alchemically marrying lo-fi psychedelic drones with sweeping orchestral arrangements, poetic folk song and classical structures; all in support of heartfelt paeans to nameless gods, apocalyptic requiems for the new/old world, and an overwhelming sense of wonder at the natural beauty of Éire and the Western Isles; this is United Bibles Studies at their transcendent finest. Seven tracks, 40 minutes.

First part! These are my nerdy little twerps. For some reason the other day, they decided to dig out some old life jackets and put them on. The only difference was that they decided to wear them as diapers. They spent well over an hour floating around giggling in their make shift diapers. They giggled endlessly. They could not get over how funny they thought they were. I have to admit. I got a good chuckle myself. I hope you do to.
It has been awhile since we have had a good picture of the hairless Dudester. His hair has grown back in a bit more since this picture of him was taken a few weeks ago but I just could not resist. Here he is - the dapper dudely.
So,what is going on in the neuroblastoma world. Well, for one, President Bush signed the Caroline Pryce Walker Conquer Childhood Cancer Act yesterday. This means it is official. The legislation authorizes $150 million over five years for pediatric cancer research and outreach, and reaffirms our nation's commitment to eradicating the number one cause of death by disease for children. You can read more about it here:
It is great news! However, the battle is not yet over. We still have to fight for the dollars to be appropriated. The next step is at the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. Just because they passed the legislation does not mean we will get the dollars and, unfortunately, that is the tough part. Now the real work begins. You will be hearing more about these efforts in the days and weeks to come. We will need to write members of this subcommittee to urge them to prioritize childhood cancer funding or this will all be for not. I will provide more information in the coming days and weeks.
For those of you that love country music a generous donor is offering an autographed guitar on eBay. The auction only has one day left. The sale will benefit the research initiatives of the Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation. More information can be found below. Please stop by and bid.
This weekend in Graham, Texas they will be have a rodeo and day of festivities to benefit the CNCF. You can bet that I will have my boots on. There are a ton of festivities planned. If you are looking for a good time it is the perfect way to entertain the family this weekend. I hope to see you there. More information can be found at:
You know what? I could go on. This is just two of the things that are going on at this minute. We also have an art auction in California. I am working on a really cool liposomal formulation of irinotecan. Yes, me! Isn't that totally cool? We are getting ready for scans next week. I am helping to put together a local neuroblastoma symposium. I am trying to find sponsors for the art gallery showing of "Life. Through the eyes of a child living with neuroblastoma."
The list goes on.
My purpose is full speed ahead.

Last weekend I powered through David Epstein's new book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. The book has received rave reviews from the likes of Daniel Pink, who calls it "an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance." Through numerous stories and data, Epstein's primary premise is that generalists triumph over specialists.
I dove into work showing that highly credentialed experts can become so narrow-minded that they actually get worse with experience, even while becoming more confident – a dangerous combination. An internationally renowned scientist [later introduced in the book] told me that increasing specialization has created a "system of parallel trenches" in the quest for innovation. Everyone is digging deeper into their own trench and rarely standing up to look in the next trench over, even though the solution to their problem resides there.
Epstein directly takes on those (ahem, Tim Ferris…) who propose spending ten thousand hours to become a supposed expert in something. I found the book to be a breath of fresh air from all the "get smart quick" self help books, and he includes data-driven concepts applicable to a wide array of personal and professional situations. He even spends considerable time on how it applies to raising children, and Ashley Fetters at The Atlantic has a great review of the book from that particular perspective. In an interview, Epstein says the issues with children and sports is what originally led him to research this topic.

South Korea Food Map Postcard.
I briefly visited Korea when I was a little girl, which of course is a really long time ago, but I absolutely loved it so I created this beautiful South Korea Food Map Postcard.
I love South Korean food and South Korean culture has been very popular in the world in recent years so I illustrated this map of South Korea for this amazing country! Now, of course, I haven't eaten every dish from South Korea but I do love everything that I have tried from there and kimchi is one of my all-time favourite things to eat. In the future, I would love to go to South Korea again and draw another map but this time based on the sights and cultures.
If you are collecting beautiful, unique, and special postcards, this South Korea Food Map Postcard should definitely be added to your collection. I'm now doing a wholesale service, so if you are a retailer and you're interested in my postcards, prints, or any of the other products I have listed on my website, please contact me anytime.
This South Korea Food Map Postcard is A6 (11×14.5cm) in size (just shy of A6) and has been printed beautifully on top quality papers.
This product has been designed and made by myself. There has been no outsourcing, no printing in a foreign country whatsoever. This ensures this product is of the highest quality but also dramatically drops any carbon emissions. My aim is to keep everything as green as possible.

The bathroom is a functional room and can therefore be overlooked and seen just as a place to pop into to perform ablutions. However, throughout our lives we will spend a lot of time in there so it pays to make it as salubrious a space as possible.
With a bit of care paid to the features we choose for our bathroom it can become a serene place to pamper and luxuriate in. A well designed and decorated bathroom can also be a stunning component of your house and the envy of all those who enter. There aren't that many features in the bathroom so if you concentrate on just a few, you can give the entire room a luxurious look.
The sink is not merely a bowl to wash your face in, it is the alter of the bathroom and a well chosen one can enhance the aesthetic and the functionality of the room. A huge range of basins are available in a number of classy, bold designs so give this some thought when you choose yours.
There is nothing more glorious in a bathroom than a deep, hot bath. Bathing can be extremely relaxing as well as cleansing and even more so in a stylish, luxurious tub. There are many contemporary baths on the market to fit in with a more modern décor, or if you have more classic tastes perhaps you should opt for a free-standing roll-top bath.
They may not sound so luxurious after a deep, hot bath but a bathroom wrapped in top quality tiles stands out from the rest. Skilled tilers can create a classy backdrop to your bathroom features which will really complete your luxury bathroom.

The industrious RAILBRICKS team recently brought us yet another issue of their excellent magazine. This time it features layouts, and is thus probably more relevant to non-train builders, with its demonstration of landscaping and detailing. Highlights in this issue include articles on the excellent layout of Alban Nanty, the collaborative layouts of Mike Pianta (scruffulous) and me, and a community spotlight on Hong Kong's Legend Bricks. Once again the whole team have done an excellent job on this lovely free resource.

Girls and staff at Manor House School are celebrating after their contract caterer was declared best in Britain at a glittering London awards ceremony.
Holroyd Howe was named Education Caterer of the Year in the industry's 'Oscars' – the Foodservice Cateys – at the Westminster Park Plaza Hotel.
Caterers at Holroyd Howe were commended for their innovative menus and their commitment to local sourcing of ingredients and to high quality staff training.
The award is a delight – but no surprise – to the girls of Manor House who enjoy delicious food every day at the selective independent school at Little Bookham near Leatherhead, Surrey.
Headmistress Miss Zara Axton said: "Congratulations to everyone at Holroyd Howe for this well deserved national award."
She added: "At Manor House School we are renowned for our high levels of pupil care and excellent nutritious food is a very important part of that.
"Our daily lunch menus include a choice of two hot options, one meat and one vegetarian, locally sourced produce wherever possible, fresh vegetables, soups, baguettes, hot desserts, a yoghurt bar and fresh fruit."
Catering staff are careful to take note of any special dietary requirements among the girls – a process made easier by the school's smaller setting.
Holroyd Howe Managing Director Ronan Harte said: "It is a real honour to pick up this award. We are very proud of how hard our teams have worked over the course of the last year and this award is testament to that.
"As a business, our focus has always been to deliver creative, delicious food that engages and inspires pupils, whilst also safeguarding their health and wellbeing. We are delighted that this award recognises that."
This latest award comes just days after one of Holroyd Howe's head chefs Matt Potts won the Independent Caterer of the Year Award at the EDUcatering Excellence Awards at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London. Last year Holroyd Howe also won a European Safety Bureau award.
Manor House School will be holding open mornings on February 9 2016, April 26 2016 and October 1 2016. Families are welcome.
For more information, please contact Mary Fowell, 01372 457077, email@example.com, https://manorhouseschool.org

Id Software Studio Director Tim Willits Leaving Company
After 24 years at id Software, studio director Tim Willits is leaving the company.
Willits says that all of id's games currently in development will be unaffected by his departure and that he'll announce what he's doing next after QuakeCon at the end of the month.
Willits started working as a level designer at id for Strife and multiple Quake games before becoming the lead designer on Doom 3 and then the studio director from 2011's Rage and onward.
For more from Willits, be sure to take a look at the time we asked him 122 questions about Rage 2.
After 24 years, I've decided to leave id Software after QuakeCon. I've been extremely lucky to work with the best people in the industry on truly amazing games. QuakeCon has been an unbelievable part of my journey and I look forward to seeing everyone at the Gaylord Texan. pic.twitter.com/shX5H441py

Do my eyes deceive me, or is the Queen really riding side-saddle? That has to be difficult.ReplyDelete
I have to admit -- indeed, I gladly admit -- that Queen Elizabeth II is a class act. I wish more of the younger members of her family would follow her example.
Yes, the Queen always rode side-saddle on such occasions (of course she's ridden in a carriage for quite a while now). It's not really done anymore that I know of. The last woman I knew who did was my great-grandmother (and then rarely because she rarely rode a horse). I don't know if they even make side saddles anymore.ReplyDelete

Man who pleaded guilty in 2016 assault case sentenced to one year in jail, 8 years probation
Michael Gelber is one of four men accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Silverthorne on St. Patrick's Day 2016
One of four men accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Silverthorne on St. Patrick's Day in 2016 was sentenced on Wednesday in front of an emotional crowd at the Eagle County Justice Center.
Michael Gelber, 47, was sentenced to one year in Summit County Jail on a felony count of attempted sexual assault. In addition, Gelber must complete eight years of supervised probation, which includes a rigorous treatment program for sex offenders.
Gelber is one of four men accused of sexually assaulting a woman too inebriated to consent after a night of drinking on St. Patrick's Day 2016. He was initially scheduled to be tried as a co-defendant with Justin Erwin — another of the accused — but pleaded guilty on a plea deal in June rather than face trial. As part of the deal, Gelber pleaded guilty to one count of felony-attempted sexual assault, as well as two misdemeanor charges of unlawful sexual contact and invasion of privacy.
The victim of the assault was present at the sentencing hearing and provided a statement in which she lamented the psychological and financial burdens this incident has had on her over the last two-and-a-half years, as well as reaffirming her commitment to finding justice.
"Reporting this depraved crime and remaining steadfast in holding these men accountable has at the same time destroyed my life, and has also awakened in me a sense of justice and fight to change the way our society functions," she said. "Domination, aggression and misogyny will not continue without a fight on my watch."
The woman continued to recount what she could from the night of the assault and described her continuous journey back to relative normalcy. She publicly forgave Gelber for his participation in the assault, and implored him to take full advantage of his rehabilitation so that he could come out of jail a better man.
"Forgiveness is not absolving someone of their sins or crimes," the woman said. "Rather it is letting go of the resentment towards someone that wronged you. I know deeply how much resentment can hurt. How much it thwarts healing. Forgiveness is a gift I'm choosing to give myself. With that said, I want you to know that I choose to forgive you. And I hope by being held accountable, that you are able to find the peace that having forgiveness in your heart can bring."
More than 10 individuals came to speak on behalf of Gelber's character, and to urge Judge Frederick Gannet to show leniency in sentencing him. Former co-workers, roommates, family and long-time friends painted Gelber as an otherwise salt-of-the-earth man who made a singular mistake. Supporters stepped up to the podium in turn to share stories and prepared statements of Gelber's loyalty, reliability and kindness over the last 25 years. They also collectively voiced that Gelber took the charges against him incredibly seriously, and had expressed remorse for his actions that night.
Gelber's attorney, Ryan Gilman, also spoke out on Gelber's behalf.
"Michael Gelber is one of these people who did a bad thing," said Gilman. "But he's a good man, a good person, and that should count for something."
Finally, Gelber spoke for himself, offering an apology to the victim.
"I'm truly sorry that I participated in something that caused her so much pain," said Gelber. "Had I known it was going to, I wouldn't have. And I'm sorry."
Gelber has two weeks to surrender himself to the Summit County Jail. Should he violate the terms of his probation, he could be resentenced to up to four years in confinement, according to District Attorney Bruce Brown. Gelber is eligible for work release while serving his year in prison. In addition to jail time and supervised probation, Gelber was also ordered to pay more than $14,000 in restitutions to the victim, as well as over $5,000 in prosecution costs.
Three other cases stemming from the St. Patrick's Day incident have already been adjudicated, though not necessarily resolved. Paul Garvin was convicted of felony sexual assault in Oct. 2016, and subsequently sentenced to 16 years in prison. In July, Justin Erwin was exonerated on 11 of 20 charges, though a mistrial was declared on the other nine charges after the jury reached a stalemate in deliberation. Ramon Villa went to trial in September, but a mistrial was declared due to clerical errors by the courthouse.
Villa is set to appear in Eagle County Court on Oct. 29 to set a new trial date. Erwin has a number of status conferences scheduled throughout the next month in both Summit and Eagle counties.
"We're another milestone into this process," said Brown. "We have more work to do, and because of the victim's strength and the support of the community she has, we're confident we're getting close to the point where we can close the books on this horrific instance where she was sexually assaulted."

Anxiety happens to everyone and it is normal. However for children with learning differences and learning difficulties it happens more often for them, especially in certain circumstances such as at school, when having to read and write and some social situations.
Learning stress relates to anxiety and low self esteem.
In this section we consider anxiety and the impact it has on learning.
- Why the brain goes "offline"
- What we can do to get our brains back "online"
- How to look out for situations that make our brain go "offline"
Why the brain goes "offline"
Anxiety and worry about learning can have a big impact on how children are ready for learning. When a person becomes anxious a chemical, cortisol, is released into the brain and we go into fight, flight or freeze mode. When we are like this the brain effectively "goes offline" and doesn't go back "on line" until the chemical, cortisol, has reduced. Everyone can feel anxious however children with learning difficulties have a lot of anxiety around their learning.
They can worry about:
- will I get the answer right if the teacher asks me?,
- how will I go with the paired reading?,
- can I write fast enough to keep up? or
- will I understand the instructions from the teacher?
What we can do to get our brains back "online"
Parents can show the children how to firstly get their brain back on line and then manage the situations that normally take their brain off-line.
When a brain goes "offline" a person can help get it back on line by tummy breathing. Practice this to get it right – it's when we breathe in through the nose and at the same time our tummy pushes out with the air coming in. This means we are breathing deeply. Other techniques include squeezing play dough, or blowing bubbles. The tummy breathing and play dough can be used quietly by the children in the classroom so no one needs notice – blowing bubbles not so much!
How to look out for situations that make our brain go "offline"
When we become anxious or worried about something, like
- reading out loud,
- getting started writing a story, or
- giving a speech
we can do things to help reduce how much our brain goes offline.
When we get anxious usually there is a feeling in the body that helps us to know that our brain may go offline. These feelings are different for different people and can include:
- Sweaty hands
- Butterflies in the tummy
- Needing to go to the toilet
- Lump in the throat
- Wanting to cry
Helping your children to be aware of these feelings will start to help them know when their brain may go offline. To help feel better they can do the tummy breathing, squeeze play dough or blow bubbles. We can also normalize the feelings and talk about what is happening "That cortisol has made your brain go off line – what can you do to get back on line?".
Key differences between anxious and calm learners
This table adapted from Turula (2002) illustrates some key differences between anxious learners and calm learners.

Environmental Toxins- Nicotine, Gasoline, Nail Salon Fumes
Nicotine helps desensitize your nicotinic receptors to nausea and vomiting, but when you stop smoking and then pick back up the habit you feel nauseous due to the lightheadedness, ect. When you kick the stick don't forget to sniff the peppermint within the No Mo Nausea Band to cut the craving.
The fumes from the nail salon cause dizziness, headaches, light-headedness and nausea. The inhaled vapors from the NoMoNausea band and peppermint aromatherapy reduce these incidence as well as the severity of the nausea. The NoMoNausea band is inexpensive so you can wear it sparingly to trips to the salon without feeling nauseous or dizzy during your pedicure.
Hydrocarbons found in gasoline can cross the placenta, there is no direct evidence that maternal exposure causes teratogenic effects (birth defects in early development) but it is considered genotoxic and warnings to newly pregnant women is advised. How do I know that pumping gasoline while pregnant causes nausea & vomiting? Because it happened to me while I was pregnant with my son. I actually had to call my husband, friends, & family to come pump gas for me because I would vomit every time. I wish I had a No Mo Nausea Band so I could smell the peppermint aromatherapy and focus on that to help me calm my stomach. This is another reason the No Mo nausea band can help you! Happy pumping ladies!

The weather on Scott's birthday wasn't the best, and since we'd had such a great time at Mi Casa Too on our first visit (great food and free champagne for the owner's birthday), we planned a return trip. It's just so darned inviting!
Before heading up the hill, we stopped in at Manati for a quick drink and a hello. When we arrived, a birthday party was in full swing for Paisley, who made the permanent move to Guanaja two months ago. We were welcomed in, and soon realized that making it up the hill probably wasn't going to happen. When Shawn arrived, (the owner of Mi Casa Too, and the place wouldn't be the same without him there) the decision to delay a night, and stay at Manati was made.
We spent time chatting with the expats in attendance, as well as Klaus and Annette, who own Manati. Gus, a cruiser from South Africa, received my vote for best dressed. He and Sally have decided to stay here and buy property.
The canine guests enjoyed the party as well. Simba even came in a party dress, although I don't think it was her idea.
Eventually we said good night, thanking Paisley for sharing her evening with us (she's the brunette with long hair in the photo below). When I woke for a bathroom run at 3am, the music was still going strong!
We left Sea Life the next night to head up the hill, this time with no stops along the way. Once again, we climbed the million steps up to the house, and once again it was worth the climb.
Shawn was there to welcome us. We opted for seats at the bar this time, and he played the role of dj. While Shawn chose songs ranging from salsa, to reggae, to classic rock, to rap and country, the large tv behind the bar showed music videos for each one. It was more than entertaining, especially when the locals sang along to their favorites!
After great food and fun, we said goodnight and made our way back down the hill. It was a nice way to "extend" Scott's birthday a bit!
Here are more photos of our birthday celebrations.

Each outside region, regardless of how little it is, should be treated with consideration. This need enhances with regards to eateries, inns, bistros and resorts. So neighborliness organizations ought to be additional watchful when outlining a little open air space like a gallery or even a restricted porch.
Keeping in mind the end goal to transform a restricted region into an appealing spot to hang out, two stages must be connected: picking the privilege outside furniture and introducing them viably.
How to pick the furniture?
Choosing little furniture
When you have a limited zone, you can in any case outfit it with little things that fits. For instance, rather than packing the overhang with a solitary couch, utilize two or three seats and a round end table so visitors can appreciate an unwinding morning. Keep in mind to take estimations, here a couple of centimeters can have any kind of effect.
Utilizing multifunctional open air furniture
A little zone restricts the utilization of a few furniture to suit all needs. In this manner, a powerful arrangement is utilize multifunctional porch furniture for your eatery, lodging, resort or bistro. A secluded outside setting enables you to have at least things with the most uses conceivable. For instance, if a daybed and living set don't fit together beside the pool, supplant them with an outside furniture piece that gives you both. All things considered, Skyline Design's Bishan can be a suitable method to consolidate the two, as it can be utilized as a daybed or a couch set.
Running vertical with beautifications
One of the most recent garden configuration patterns is the selection of the vertical space in the outside. In different terms, abusing setting enhancement frill or even plants on the dividers encompassing the outside living region. Moreover, because of this new "wave", brands are presently making things for vertical utilize. For instance, the acclaimed French brand, Maiori, created chic grower that can be put over each other, with a specific end goal to spare level space.
How to plan the little space to influence it to look more extensive?
Assigning a point of convergence
Introducing outside furniture in a little territory can be chaotic. A touch of association will transform a disorganized setting into an agreeable and unwinding spot. One of the initial steps to take is to concentrate all the outside seats and couches to one heading. A point of convergence can either be outer like the ocean, the garden or a particular scene, and inside like an outside parlor or a hanging seat. You can add extras as per your necessities, however ensure that despite everything you have just a single point of convergence.
Clearing the way and the living zone
Another approach to decorate a little open air space is to clear the way and the living territory. In any case, this is a sensitive undertaking that can either break it or make it. How? Applying geometrical plans in the asphalt can influence the open air territory to look littler. What's more, most likely, that is not what eateries and resorts are hoping to achieve, actually.

Who wouldn't like to have a crystal ball? Unfortunately, our computers aren't very good at predicting the future. However they do occasionally get the weather correct, so [Jenny Hanell] built a crystal ball to show the weather forecast. She calls it "Sphaera" and you can see a video of it in operation below.
The user interface is entertaining, and relies on 5 photoresistors. The Raspberry Pi inside detects when you cover one of them up, and interprets that as a command. A piece of plastic allows for projection inside the sphere from an LCD display. [Jenny] calls that a hologram although technically it isn't a true hologram, of course.

Drinks at The Standard Pour
After a long day sightseeing, sometimes you just need a delicious and refreshing cocktail. The Standard Pour is popular local spot in Uptown with the atmosphere of a prohibition-era speakeasy. While there is a solid dinner and bar menu (which have just been refreshed for spring), the spotlight here shines on the extensive cocktail offerings. In addition to a hefty bourbon list, you can't go wrong with the restaurant's signature cocktail, The Standard Pour or the light, spring Orchard Cocktail. Get to The Standard Pour early if you want to snag a seat—it tends to fill up most nights of the week.
Uptown Dallas was one of the first neighborhoods to undergo a major revitalization that helped turn the city—and especially the downtown area—into a cultural hotspot. It's now one of the city's premier destinations for trendy nightlife, fine dining, and high-end shopping, particularly for the high-rolling and well-heeled yuppie set.

Saturday, April 19, 2014 9:52 pm
(Reuters) – US Singer Chris Brown will face trial next week on an assault charge, that may also dredge out, on conviction, another charge: violation of his probation after a 2009 conviction in Los Angeles for assaulting his former girlfriend, the singer Rihanna. The latter carries the risk of a four year jail term to the rapper.
Brown's trial for the latest assault was delayed on Friday, when a Washington, D.C., judge put off a verdict for the R&B artist's bodyguard whose trial on the same charge is scheduled to conclude first.
District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Patricia Wynn said she will need until Monday to consider the evidence and decide the verdict in the misdemeanor assault trial of bodyguard Christopher Hollosy, accused of assaulting a man who tried to photograph Brown.
"I'm not ready to return a verdict now," Wynn said, after testimony concluded on Friday in the trial, which is being decided by a judge rather than a jury.
Hollosy is accused of punching in the face a man who angered Brown after trying to snap a photo of the singer outside a Washington, D.C., hotel on October 27, 2013. He is charged with misdemeanor assault.
Brown, who faces the same charge, is accused of hitting the same man seconds before Hollosy did.
Brown's trial is scheduled to begin immediately after the judge's verdict in the Hollosy trial. The decision to delay that verdict for three days pushes back Brown's case.
Brown, 24, wore a dark suit as he was escorted into court by marshals on Friday but said nothing and was escorted back to a jail cell minutes later.
Parker Adams, 20, the man who tried to photograph Brown, said he suffered a broken nose and other injuries to his face.
Adams and two other witnesses, his girlfriend and a limousine driver, testified on Thursday that Brown punched Adams. Then, Hollosy stepped in and hit Adams with a second, harder punch that broke his nose, Adams said.
Hollosy's attorney, Bernie Grimm, argued Adams pressed for criminal charges against Brown and Hollosy to collect money from them in a lawsuit. Adams claims a total of $3 million in compensatory and punitive damages from both men in a civil lawsuit pending in Washington, D.C.
"Justice for him has dollar signs on it," Grimm said.
Hollosy did not testify during the bench trial.
Brown is expected to face the same witnesses and similar evidence in the assault charge pending against him.
If Brown is convicted, he faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. The conviction also could be a violation of his probation after a 2009 conviction in Los Angeles for assaulting his former girlfriend, the singer Rihanna.
The probation violation could bring him an additional four years in prison.
