Thanks to Drew Clark of Broadband Breakfast and Professor Andrew Odlyzko, published this great article.
Today's Washington Post has an alarmist article about math exam problems in Montgomery County, Maryland.
The article opens by saying
For another semester, Montgomery County high school students flunked their final exams in math courses in startlingly high numbers, according to new figures that show failure rates of 71 percent for Geometry and 68 percent for Algebra 1.
Later, the article admits the real cause of the alleged problem:
For many students, the final exam comes when semester grades are firmly set after two quarters of day-to-day classroom work. The exam is worth 25 percent of the course grade — a significant percentage but in many cases not enough to sway it drastically.
So here is the simple and obvious answer: put that final exam grade in a separate column in the transcript. Students may not try terribly hard, but they will try hard enough to avoid failing.
I had known that Sotomayor was to speak at the luncheon of the Federal Communications Bar Association (FCBA), but I thought that it would be platitudes and of no interest. I knew that she could not answer the difficult questions, such as how the fairness rules in Specht v. Netscape might be updated (the case that occurred because AOL bought Netscape and made Netscape suck by adding adware), or what she really thinks of Scalia. She could not discuss any matter that might come before the Supreme Court in the future, and would not even talk about role models or personal influences.
She had a lot to say and a room full of several hundred schmoozing lawyers fell silent as soon as she reached the podium. She talked about how people react now when she walks in the room — even her extended family. "I'm still Sonya," she tells her family. She said that she used to sit in the back of the room and watch people react, but now she's often in the front row or even the speaker.
Most of what she said was directed at the college students who have scholarships from the FCBA, and a few of her comments were directed to law students like me who have summer internship stipends thanks to the FCBA. The students were asked to write questions and all were good questions. One student asked how she stays connected to regular people. She said that she likes talking to young people. So at the FCBA, she sat with the high school students. When invited to a high school, she likes to do at least one activity with the middle school students.
Another asked if she had any regrets about law school. She said that she regrets not having pursued a judicial clerkship after graduating (but she was personally recruited by Morgenthau to join the Manhattan DA's office).
The students each received a copy of her book (I had given my DC host a copy but did not have a copy myself). I would not usually write about what a woman was wearing, but in the book, Sotomayor talks about acquiring dress sense late in life. She wore a red jacket with zippers that was impressive but that also helped make her seem approachable. It was a brilliant choice.
Perhaps there's one legal question she could have answered: has the Supreme Court ever considered naming sections with words? At the moment, it uses roman numerals and capital letters. Some justice's opinions might be clearer with section titles, but Sotomayor's do not need them.
When critics reviewed her book, they said that although her opinions are dry and dispassionate, her book is full of warmth. It's true. If you have a chance to her you speak, you must go!
Today, I attended the Energy Bar Association's "East Coast Solar Infrastructure Development: Incentives and Barriers – What is Working and What is Not: An examination of Incentives, Finance, Technologies and Interregional compatibility of RECs Driving Solar development in the Northeast" hosted by Day Pitney in three cities: New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. The event was led by Roni Epstein, Counsel, Legislative and Regulatory Affairs, New York Power Authority.

America's National Broadband plan seems predicated on the idea that smartphones can serve poor people. The cellcos are telling Wall Street's financial analysts and the policy makers in Washington that there are more cell phone-based internet connections in the world than fixed wireless or wireline connections. But skeptics are starting to show that those cellphones may be underused, overpriced, and come with caps. Meanwhile, cellcos' core businesses are threatened. Prices will rise and service caps will fall. Washington — and policymakers around the world — should allocate more resources and spectrum to services that deliver true internet, not the restricted walled garden of the cellcos.
This debate was central to the fascinating discussion at the State of Telecom event at Columbia's Instititue of Tele-Information, held in mid-October. I attended the afternoon sessions.
The national debt is about $14.5 trillion, and each person's share is about $45,000. If someone proposed taxing each individual $45,000 to pay off the debt, nobody would think this a fair proposal. We expect those who have more to also pay more taxes. But in many other areas, everyone has to pay the same amount. The equal dollar in the legal system creates numerous injustices.
Finland fines people for speeding based on their income, so very rich people can pay over $100,000 for a single speeding incident. Some are worried that other EU nations will refuse to enforce Finnish fines, breaking the European Union. The idea is controversial and is unlikely to be applied here in the U.S., but it deserves consideration. If we cannot make fines fair based on income, perhaps we can base them on the price or class of car.
Even the tax system is not as fair as many believe.

French banks are feeling the pain today. Some CNBC commentators say that France should have been downgraded before the USA. Marketwatch says that France might be the next downgrade.
Another commentator noted that France is a lynchpin of Euro rescue efforts. If France were downgraded, it might not be able to contribute to the European Financial Stability Fund, or EFSF. That might explain why S&P does not want to downgrade France: doing so might break the Euro. For the English commentator, the current markets are reminiscent of the breaking of the pound out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992.
The treaty of Maastricht, signed in 1992 called for governments to maintain an annual deficit of 3 percent or less and to have debt no higher than 60 percent. Although Japan leads the league in government debt as a percentage of GDP at 225 percent, EU members Italy and Belgium are at close to 100 percent. France is at 83 percent. These countries have violated the rules of the treaty for years, and as a a result, they cannot call on today's problem nations to be forced to adhere to the terms of the treaty.

Major fiber industry players gathered on Wall Street at the Telecom Exchange to do business at the very elegant Cipriani. Wall Street is demanding faster speeds and lower latencies than any other industry in the world as companies build their notorious high frequency trading platforms. If the internet is a railroad, Wall Street is becoming a test bed for the newest and fastest trains.
NYLUG member Robert Menes presented the Rockbox open source jukebox software at the most recent meeting. The software project started in late 2001 when Bjorn Stenberg became fed up with his ARCHON MP3 player and the software was first released in 2002. The software is designed to be installed directly onto MP3 players and to add to rather than replace the existing firmware, but there are many many different MP3 players, and the project supports them to varying degrees (details on the Rockbox website).

Just a New One Without a Name...
you let me lean on you
when they yelled
and when things got broken
and i got scared
you siad
"i'll always be there"
and when i lost my temper
you held me close until
all my anger was gone
and when i became lost
you provided me with a map
and when i cried
you dryed my tears
and when i was in pain
you let me scream
but when you became scared
you left me behind.
when you needed someone
you didnt let me in
thats when i needed you.
when i needed you the very most.
i look forward to it.
well you tell me what sort of music you want and i will make it and send it to you.

Along with his senior partner, Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly, Barry has his hands full dealing with seasonal coughs and colds, as well as the occasional medical emergency.
To add to the doctors' worries, competition arrives in the form of a patient-poaching new physician whose quackery threatens the health and well-being of the good people of Ballybucklebo. Can one territory support three hungry doctors? Barry has his doubts.
But the wintry days and nights are not without a few tidings of comfort and joy. Between their hectic medical practice, Rugby Club parties, and the kiddies' Christmas pageant, the two doctors still find time to play Santa Claus to a struggling single mother with a sick child and not enough money in the bank. Snow is rare in Ulster, and so are miracles, but that doesn't mean they never happen....
©2008 Patrick Taylor; (P)2008 Macmillan Audio
"Full of stories and vivid characters, the novel recalls a good night in a pub. Its greatest charm lies in homey Ulster idioms....Good, light entertainment." (Booklist)
"Gentle and sweet"
Listened to this in the run up to Christmas on my daily commute. Sweet, gentle story, not perhaps for those who like hardcore back to back action, nevertheless I enjoyed it! Narration was great although mrs kinkaids voice and way she said SO all the time did grate on me a little 😝
"A wonderful christmas listen"
I really enjoyed this book as my month of December listening from Audible. It was a great warm up for the holiday season. The quirky stories are jumble of funny silliness and difficulties of every day life. The reader gets the feeling and mood of Ireland from the past. Much like a James Herriot book but with human patients. Highly recommended.
"Perfect holiday listening"
The setting: holidaying on the tropical beaches of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia.
Wanted: the ideal holiday book: engaging characters who are in caring, construction relationships (that is, not maiming and killing) and who live in an interesting community.
The narrator: sympathetic reader with convincing characterisation
Solution: Patrick Taylor's An Irish Country Christmas and An Irish Country Courtship.
I'd already read and thoroughly enjoyed An Irish Country Doctor and my holiday decision to continue the series did not disappoint.
John Keating's gentle Irish accented narration comfortably changes to create voices that become intrinsic to each character.
Taylor, himself an eminent doctor, clearly enjoys writing these books. He devises a wonderful little village in Ireland, fascinating medical scenarios, interesting relationships and gentle humour. We are drawn into a delightful world fuelled by people the author clearly admires or dislikes. It is enriched with medical knowledge and nostalgia for world of the 1960s where intuition and care played key roles -- and doctors made home visits.
"Simply marvelous!"
I stumbled upon this marvelous series by Patrick Taylor who depicts life in Ballybuckleboo a village in County Down in the 1960's. The two main likable characters are Dr. Barry Laverty, a recent graduate who is spending his first real job as an assistant to the sightly irascible but genuinely kind-hearted Dr. Fingal O'Reilly. They share the office practice in this rural setting and as they serve as country doctors they also nurture a budding friendship. Both men live in the same residence which also acts as their surgery and they are "looked after" by a delightful, witty middle age housekeeper, "Kinky" Kincaid.
If you want to get in the Christmas spirit, this is a dependable way of doing it - reading "An Irish Country Christmas". But don't miss the other books in the series; they are well worth the listen.
Speaking of listening, John Keating is an absolutely splendid narrator.He brings all the characters to life, no easy task with the wide ranging Irish accents,and transports the listener smack in the middle of Ballybuckleboo.
"A companionable book"
The book was well narrated
Fairly predicable
The accent and pronunciation of the Irish names and places
The old doctor he was brash, had a good dose of common sense mixed with humour and he lived in a time when honour still meant something.
The book it not a page turner, but if you want something pleasant and undemanding that gives a a warm feeling, then you will enjoy this.
"i wish i were there"
well i have another hard back to buy. this author is a marvel. i feel as tho i am with the doctors as they make there way through life. this book is a must read. this author has a way of keeping me enthralled in the story and very happy to be so. i am waitting, hopefuly not to long, for the next "volume". thank you
"I want to go to BallyBuckleBo"
A charming glimpse at an Irish village - filled with characters and curmudgeons - people whom I would love to know in person. Spend some time in BallyBuckleBo (sp?) - you won't regret it.
Colorful characters and rich, descriptive language draws the listener in to the small village of Ballybucklebo at Christmas time. I loved escaping to a simpler time and place.
"Cozy Christmas"
A wonderful holiday listen that includes delightfully original characters who live in a small rural village not far from Belfast. The main story revolves around the towns two doctors, their housemaid and the care of the local residents. They keep busy with births, accidents, regular seasonal illnesses and an occasional disgruntled child who did not get a part they wanted in the yearly Christmas Pageant.
I felt connected to the people and enjoyed the generous, warmhearted environment that is found in this authentic little town called Ballybucklebo. The narrator did an excellent job and I loved all of the believable, colorful voices. A great book to light the holiday spirit.
"Love this book!"
I really enjoyed the audio versions of all the books in this series. The performer brings it to life for me.
I can't pick one. They were all great.
Yes. I wish I could have listened to it in one setting.
A great series of books! Love the ones I have listened to already.
"best in the series - thus far.
The story os the beat in the series. Relationship are deeper and so much more fun because of it. The narrator makes the story more entertaining. I love how he has voices set for all the characters.
I love this series.

Ulisses was very friendly and helpful making our stay enjoyable and very safe. If we needed anything he would organise it and he was very close buy with only a phone call away.
He took us around and provided transport to the airport and famous sites, he always kept us out of danger and gave us a good idea of what we should be paying not to get ripped off.
Rooms are clean and in good order. Bathroom and Kitchen and have all that we needed utensils pots etc. The laundry was handy to wash clothes saving on taking it to a dry cleaner. Lounge room had sofa bed and had TV with over 100 channels, wifi was good when working but sometimes poor had to reboot router a few times. If using 3G or Wifi at restaurants this is not a problem. It is Brazil so the internet it not as developed as other countries yet but you can get by fine with surfing the web or updating phone or downloading maps for GPS.
We have become good friends and will stay there again.

MEF, MAF and all C# Plugins in-between
by Kevin • January 14, 2012 • Journal • 2 Comments
Over the years one of the most common things people try to implement using a language is the concept of plugins to extend an application, some languages or frameworks do this easily and some can be a bit more tricky; I'm looking at you COM.
Being aimed at the business application .NET has needed this functionality as well, and so has spawned many different approaches, each with their strengths and weaknesses.
First off I'll talk about the Managed Add-in Framework (MAF) which usually is referred to as System.Addin it was designed to abstract the creation of plugins and provide the ability to adjust the security imposed on the plugins assembly reference and underlying AppDomain, this was great for businesses that could define Interfaces in a design by contract fashion.
The problem is for regular users that want a quicker, alas inherently naive plugin mechanism.
For all plugins, the underlying CLR uses reflection to determine eligibility of a plugin, thus you can write your own of you can guarantee certain characteristics of your plugin, or security issues across AppDomains is not a concern.
I decided to see what the bare minimum was to write a plugin manager, here it is below, I'll go on to explain its concepts afterwards.
public static void LoadPluginsFromFile(FileInfo file, out List availablePlugins) { availablePlugins = new List(); Assembly caller = null; try { caller = Assembly.LoadFile(file.FullName); } catch { // Unable to load Assembly return; } // Check for Runtime Mismatch between assemblies if (caller != null && caller.ImageRuntimeVersion.Equals(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().ImageRuntimeVersion)) { foreach (Type t in caller.GetTypes()) { if (typeof(T).IsAssignableFrom(t) && !t.Equals(typeof(T))) { try { availablePlugins.Add((T)caller.CreateInstance(t.ToString())); } catch { // Invocation failure on the Plugin } } } } }
The code above is a generic method which loads in plugins using an underlying Base Class or Interface of type T from a specified file. It performs checks to see whether the Assembly can be loaded correctly and whether the Assembly Image Format – The reference to the CLR version the code was compiled against is valid. Once the assembly has been checked, the Assembly is scanned for Classes that use the Type which our plugin inherits from, if any are found they are instantiated and returned as part of a list.
The code can be extended to add additional checks and include security around the Plugins Assembly AppDomain. Try it out.
While coding this I noticed an interesting problem inherent in reflection, you can't dynamically cast a generic type while dynamically invoking a generic method via reflection because you can not late bind generic methods (Invoking via reflection). For example this over the top example fails to invoke.
static void Main(string[] args) { Program p = new Program(); object o = p.CreateGenericWrapper(typeof(List<>), typeof(string), new string[] { "a", "b" }); } public object CreateGenericWrapper(Type t, Type u, params object[] args) { MethodInfo castMethod = this.GetType().GetMethod("CreateGeneric").MakeGenericMethod(t,u); return castMethod.Invoke(null, new object[] { args }); } public object CreateGeneric<T,U>(params object[] args) { return Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T).MakeGenericType(new System.Type[] { typeof(U) }), args); }
To explain, the above code is attempting to dynamically at runtime create a generic list of strings via invoking a generic method with the inferred type information.
In .NET 4 Microsoft upgraded the framework and renamed it, to become the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). The main difference was that MAF was designed to be high level, to provide a mechanism to provide isolation and security, and of course loading and unloading. MEF takes this further and provides additional mechanism for discoverability, extensibility, and portability. The advantage of this is that the two frameworks can be used in union with each other.
MSDN provides a great detail of information on MEF as well as an example project to download and try.

Submit Your Directory Rightly To Achieve Maximum Exposure
Link Building is the buzz word, connected with making websites prominent among competitors. There is no second opinion about the purpose of this activity, that if you cultivate appropriate back-links in the websites, web directories and Directory of Directories, your success rate in website promotion will be commensurate with this tactful activity. More inbound links from different sites and web directories lists will enhance your page ranking, for recognition by Search Engines. This will result in increased visitor traffic, which virtually means increased business and profit.
Close on the heels of this Link Building process, what follows is Directory Submission. What is this anyway? Well - Like website owners select web directories for submission of their site, the owners of web directories, which are also another website for all intents and purposes, search for good and authoritative Lists of Web directories, where the name of their web directory should find a place in.
The net-visitor gets guided to the desired website, through Search Engines; and the Search Engines through their spiders crawl on master-lists of all web directories first; and then to the concerned web directory and finally to the web site URL listed therein. Now think it this way – if the web directory is not submitted to the top quality lists of web directories, how the websites listed by it will get exposure?
In the Internet Marketing philosophy, the success or failure is decided by visitor traffic for any website – whatever it is there for. Visitors get introduced to sites through Search Engines through the above chain of activity. It follows therefore, that it is not enough if the web directory has listed valuable websites, which are ready to serve the online visitors. The need for that web directory being available in the popular and quality Master Directory of Directories is also inevitable, by all means.
There are many Lists of Directories present online – classified into General Directory Lists; Niche Directory Lists, Article Directory Lists and further classified into various categories of Paid Service or Free Service web directories and so on. You are required to add your web directory to these lists, after furnishing the required details accurately.
The categorization and classification done by the Directories of Directories vary considerably, according to the policy and working methods of them. If you want best results, you should provide more, clear and unambiguous details about your web directory for getting listed, so to achieve maximum exposure.

Kristina's Bio
My name is Kristina Downey. I am a 24 y/o mother of two. A two y/o boy and 4 y/o girl. I have been taking good care of others children since my niece was born 11 years ago and have always loved it. I have been called the "baby whisper-er". That must be because I especially enjoy newborn and infants among all children. I have been CPR, First Aid and Fire Safety certified since 2011. I completed EMT schooling at the end of October 2013 and am Nationally Licensed. (Jobs are very hard to obtain) I'm looking for a family in need of part time care preferably nights as opposed to mornings/days before 430/5 PM as I do have 2 children of my own whom are not in school yet and their father is home to care for them at that time. I am sorry to say, I also do not drive children. I am a very good driver and have been experienced for 8 years with no accidents or tickets but find it to be too much of a liability. Anything can happen and I would rather not take that chance while caring for someone else's child/children. I charge 15-20 an hour depending on the age and amount of children in need of care although I prefer caring for 1-2 children at a time, I would not be opposed to more with payment increase. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

Waterspout touches down in Tampa Bay

TAMPA BAY - Mother nature put on quite a show for motorists crossing Tampa Bay bridges early Wednesday afternoon. A waterspout formed and touched down between the Howard Frankland and Gandy bridges and took a spin across the bay.
Click here to see photos or follow this link:
The funnel cloud formed around 12:30 p.m. and held together for about eight or nine minutes as it moved from the southwest to the northeast.
It did not make it to shore and there were no reports of damage.
Waterspouts can do some quick damage if they move ashore, usually in the form of torn-up lanais, downed branches and strewn lawn furniture.
Once ashore, they typically fall apart quickly.

For the performance at the 919noise showcase, I built an instrument based on a cross between a guitar, a kalimba, and a spring reverb tank.
I wanted a physical sounds source as opposed to something electronic or digital. In this case, magnetic pickups with strings resonating in them like a regular electric guitar. Long loose strings for reverb type sounds, short strings for kalimba like tones. 34 strings/tines in total, 5 single coil pickups, 5 bridges. String gauge range from .09 inch (typically the high E string on a guitar), all the way down to a .106 inch string (typically low E string on a bass guitar).
Bridges were the same style of electrical panel grounding bars as I used on the Kalimbazooka.
Unlike the Kalimbazooka, this used the more flexible electric guitar strings for the tines, which made it somewhat difficult to tune. The strings were very sensitive to the exposed length, which was difficult to get right. I got it mostly at tune at one point, but it drifted quickly, and I ended up forgetting about trying to tune it to a particular set of notes. Oh well, it makes cool noise.
Built it in a week or two. Not sure I learned to play it as well as I would like, but I wanted something new and interesting. I guess with this kind of thing, the main thing to figure out is how it interacts with the amps and feedback, which I thought I had figured out.
I played first after a couple minutes of soundcheck. One of the first problems I ran into was the buzz/hum. Lots of it. The type of pickups in it (single coils) have a tendency to buzz a bit, but in normal guitars, only one is on at a time. I had 5 of them. That plus some long wires, bad shielding on the cheap donor guitar, and I had a pretty loud buzz. Could be worse, it was a noise show at least. I've got some ideas on how to fix it though.
The high noise floor made it a little hard to use as much dynamics as I would have like. Quieter things got washed away in the noise. So less subtlety was called for.
Was nervous about it as usual, and rushed stuff. Not particularly a good habit for noise/ambient/drone, hopefully it works for me. Seemed to get a good response, and folks were curious and complimentary about the instrument.

October 2016 - Carnival Fascination to Caribbean - Southern
St .Lucia was beautiful, as was Barbados. Would love to return to both places again. Really enjoyed the late departure time because it gave us time to explore Puerto Rico for almost 2 days, including El Yunque and the forts in Old San Juan. The parts that I did not care for included the age and cleanliness of the ship. Very dated looking, and various areas had unpleasant smells, including sewage and cigarette smoke. Food was mediocre on many days, and cleanliness of buffet areas (seating areas in and outside) was really poor. Ship seemed to be understaffed. Heard many staff expressing how tired they were, complaining about lack of breaks. Dining room staff was very friendly. Casino staff was 50/50, and some were very sloppy with their dealing abilities. Several dealers never spoke or made eye contact, and if they did, it was obligatory at best. Ship seriously lacked activities. Comedians were excellent all around (all 4 were absolutely hilarious!) STOP LETTING PEOPLE SMOKE IN THE CASINO or provide them with a closed room. It's just gross to be forced to walk through that.

The Most Important Change
The most important change to the rules affects borrowers who are placing less than 20% down, and want to secure a variable rate mortgage or a fixed rate mortgage of less than 5-years. To qualify for these types of mortgages, the qualifying rate has now jumped all the way up to 6.10% o April 20 (increased from 5.85% April 19 and from 3.84% on Friday, April 16th).
Translation: you might need almost 25% MORE income to qualify for the exact same variable or 1 to 4-year fixed mortgage from last week.
It appears the majority of the big banks will be using this new contract rate regardless of the loan-to-value, although wholesale lenders and credit unions may continue using discounted rates for qualification of all conventional financing applications, which is a major advantage for borrowers. As an aside, if want a 5 to 10-year mortgage, it'll be business as usual.
Self-Employed Borrowers
This change only affects those self-employed borrowers that are unable to verify their income, or who relied on "stated income" to qualify for financing. Essentially, if an individual has been self-employed for more than 3-years, they are expected to provide their tax returns and qualify for a mortgage in a traditional manner (purchase financing is still available up to 95% loan-to-value).
If a borrower has been self-employed for less than 2-years however, we are able to use the ever loved "stated income" rule for qualification, but this only applies to owner-occupied properties, and any refinances are limited to 85% LTV (purchases cap out at 90% loan-to-value).
The maximum insured refinance is now restricted to 90% loan-to-value.
Vacation/2nd Homes
These types of properties now qualify for high-ratio financing only if they are limited to one unit. Previously, as long as one unit was occupied by the applicant in a four-unit complex, financing was possible; no longer.
Rental Financing
Investors must now place 20% (increased from 5% last week) down to receive insured rental financing.
The other major issue pertaining to rental financing is the use of rental income. My mortgage broker communicated with CMHC (as I'm sure many other brokers have), and additional clarification was provided by CMHC in the form of a news release, as follows:
If a subject property or owner-occupied property generates rental income, then the following occurs:
- 50% of the gross rental income is added to the borrower's gross income
- Property taxes and heating costs will be excluded from the Total Debt Servicing (TDS) ratio
If the property is non-owner occupied:
- 100% of the net rental income is added to the borrower's gross income
- The mortgage payment, property taxes, and heating costs are excluded from the TDS calculations
Net rental income is calculated using a 2-year average of rental income (such as via a Statement of Real Estate Rentals [T776]) or lenders may use their own procedures to authenticate the rental income. Net rental income may also be grossed up (i.e. increased) by 15% if the borrower also deducts for depreciation, amortization, or rental-related self-employed earnings.

A/N thank you for your wonderful reviews! I know this story is not about "Chelsie", there is not Chelsie fluff in this, there is not even Downton Abbey in this. But I promise that all your patience will be rewarded in the end. I plan 5 more chapters (2 of them already written) in which they are both still at different places. But by the end of this week: THEY ARE FINALLY BOTH AT DOWNTON ABBEY :)
He could not believe his eyes, or his ears. The young girl that stood there in front of him in the dark theatre was indeed her, the Scottish lass he had ran into at the train station so long ago. She was shy, was not really able to look at him, her face slightly flushed. How old might she be? Not yet eighteen, Charles thought. Still a girl, but her appearance, the way she stood there, albeit shy but with a back held straight and proud, made her look much older and mature.
"Please accept my apology. I didn't mean to startle you." He wanted to be a bit closer to her, not too much but he needed to see her face more clearly, hear that Scottish accent. "Neither now, nor at the station."
"It's alright. Thank you for your advice though. It really worked." There was a small smile on her face now. "I never thought you were an artist."
He rubbed his neck, a bit embarrassed by her comment. "Well…"
She interrupted him. "You said you were a footman once, if I remember correctly."
So she had been thinking about him too? Their encounter had been so brief that he sometimes wondered whether he had imagined it. "You remember correctly."
"My name is Elsie Hughes, nice to meet you." She had the courage to hold out her hand which he found rather brave and forward. He took it, shook it and assumed it was now time to introduce him too.
"Charles Carson." Her hand was small and soft but her handshake firm. "Nice to meet you too." He let go of her hand after he had held it too long already and tried to fill the silence with another question. "Are you from here?" After all they were in Scotland and she was Scottish.
"I am a housemaid over at Campbell Hall." She had averted her eyes again and looked over her shoulder into the approximate direction of the place she just mentioned. Charles assumed that she meant the huge, castle like building he had seen further away, outside of town.
"Who was this nice girl you were talking to during our break?" Grigg sat in their changing room, feet on the table and a cigar in his right hand. The incident with the prostitutes had not really changed him. He was still often too arrogant for Charles liking, too self-opinionated. But they were a team and he could not leave the man now or Grigg would do something even worse than breaking a prostitute's nose.
It bothered him that at one point he had taken over all responsibility: for their shows, contracts, their rooms, everything, even for Grigg himself. One thing was missing though. Grigg still handled their money. He had always done it and he continued to do so. Every evening Charles made sure that his savings where still there, checked their earnings secretly. His confidence was declining gradually since the night Grigg had been arrested by the police. Therefore he would not tell him now whom he had talked to, would not mention the girl's name, occupation or the place she lived at in Charles Grigg presence.
"Apparently she came to see the show with her friends", was all he said for now.
"Like all the other people in the audience." Grigg took another pull of his cigar. "You looked very familiar with her."
Charles clenched his fist, tried to control his anger once again. "Did you spy on me?"
"No, not at all. I just observed." Grigg removed his feet from the table and got up, cigar still in his hand. "She was pretty. And pretty young. I thought you don't do girls?"
One of his fists almost reached out to hit Charlie, wipe that smile off his face. But Charles had never been an aggressive man and he would not let Charles Grigg turn him into one. "Just leave her alone."
He could not sleep anymore. Ever since that brief encounter he saw her face whenever he closed his eyes. That shy smile, brown hair, hesitant smile haunted him. Never before had a woman or a girl made such a lasting impression on him. She was too young for him and he was not the kind of man who pursued young women to have his baser need satisfied. Unlike Grigg, Charles never had gone further than kissing the women his partner brought to their changing room. Even this felt wrong but he did not want to take advantage of the women, despite the fact that they had offered their services to them voluntarily.
He needed to get her out of his mind, soon. There was nothing he could do about her anyway. How would she react if he appeared at Campbell Hall? What would she say? What would he say to her? He had never asked a girl out before and was not even sure how one did such a thing. Besides, she worked there as a housemaid and he was a man who earned his money by doing magic tricks on some stage in the village theatre. Charles did not consider this as an occupation a woman would accept as a proper one. Especially not when she worked in service and was surrounded by rules and propriety all day. No, he had to stop thinking about her.
Perhaps they could end their contract early and move on, travel to a different town, further south, back to England. Charles turned around, faced the wall and closed his eyes again. She was still there.
When the first snow fell, the town was transformed into a dream like place. Everything was covered in white, lanterns were hung from the top of the houses. It was the most beautiful thing he had seen so far at Christmas. Not even at Downton Abbey had the season spirit been that infectious as in this small town. He was amazed at the friendliness of the inhabitants, their smiles and joyous laughter.
They had decided to take a break at Christmas. Grigg had protested at first, tried to argue with him but in the end, Charles had won their discussion. No one would go and see their show when their families and friends were much more important during this special time of year.
While Grigg had stormed off, probably to have another drink in one of the local pubs, Charles enjoyed his free afternoon and took a walk, explored the town once again.
People knew him by know and the gentlemen ifted their hats when he passed. Women smiled at him, most of them friendly, the younger ones sometimes seductively, and he returned those smiles. Most of the time trying to not give them false hopes. He was not interested in a hurried, little affair like Grigg. And this housemaid was still in his head. Not every night, her image was slowly fading, but often enough to keep him awake.
Campbell Hall was there, in the distance, on the hills. He could see is when he stood on the village square. He wondered if Elsie was still there because he had not seen her since that encounter at the theatre. But why shouldn't she? She was still young, had probably only started to work at this place unlike him who grew up on a large estate, always surrounded by the grandeur, the fine clothes, food and noblemen. He knew this world inside out, knew its negative sides and the positive ones. It had one day be part of this life, his whole life.
His hands disappeared deep into the pockets of his winter coat while he stood there, staring into the distance, at that castle with the many windows. Should he go there and ask for her? Or was this too much of a risk. After all, they had only talked for a very brief time. They knew each other's names and occupation. Before he could sit down with her and have a lengthy conversation, people started to return to their seats and the second part of the show began. He had not seen her afterwards, probably never would again. Assuming she only had a half day off every second week, probably in the afternoon when he was busy, there was no chance to meet her again. Charles sighed and averted his eyes, walked back towards the theatre, tried to forget about her, about his feelings. It was nonsense.

More evidence that health insurance rates are going to go way up comes from Avik Roy of the Manhattan Institute in his the Apothecary column in forbes.com. Roy and two associates looked at likely insurance rates in Washington state, which has had health insurance regulations which work much like Obamacare. Even so, his findings are that health insurance rates in the individual market will rise abruptly there–and not only for young people, but also for the relately old (those age 64, one year short of qualifying for Medicare). Interesting tidbit: The increases are greater in western Washington, west of the Cascade Mountains, which includes most of the state's population and votes heavily Democratic.
At the end of his column he also takes a poke at Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius's idea of what insurance should be, similar to a point I made in a May Washington Examiner column.
"Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius routinely expresses contempt for high-deductible insurance. 'Some of these folks have very high catastrophic plans that don't pay for anything unless you get hit by a bus,' she once said incredulously. 'They're really mortgage protection, not health insurance.' As Megan McArdle observes, this only goes to illustrate that Sebelius is 'sincerely confused about the difference between insurance and prepayment. Which explains a lot about the new health law.'"

Thraxas and the Dance of Death
by Martin Scott
Review by Steve Sawicki
Baen Mass Market ISBN/ITEM#: 9781416521440
Date: 31 July 2007 List Price $7.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Official Info /
This is the latest installment in the Thraxas series; number six if I am counting correctly. In a sense it is safe to say that nothing has changed. Thraxas is broke, he's still constantly in trouble with authority, the city of Turai is facing destruction, sorcerers are running loose and chaos seems to follow Thraxas wherever he goes. This time, Thraxas is hired by Lisutaris, the Mistress of the Sky, head of the sorcerers council and heavy drug user. Lisutaris has lost a fairly valuable gem and needs Thraxas to find it. Before you know it, bodies are everywhere, rival sorcerers are popping up out of the woodwork and the Prince is likely to want to see the stolen gem in just a few days so Thraxas needs to find it now. As the case goes from hot to cold to hot again, the pressure rises and Thraxas has to use all of his wits to figure out where this gem is and how it got lost in the first place.
While the book follows the same formula Scott has used for the previous books it's one that works well with the material. In a sense, the characters are established set pieces which the reader has become familiar with and too much change, or even an absence, creates discomfort. The difficulty arrives in trying to figure out when this repetition becomes stale, if ever. There's no reason it should if Scott can maintain his own energy in the writing of these.
I enjoy the Thraxas series. It's a fast paced run through an interesting setting with intriguing and beguiling characters. Thraxas is a hoot. And the supporting cast, whether it's Makri, the half orc bar girl or Gurd, the barbarian bar owner, are worth reading about in their own right.

Another factor that we tend to like concerning the Diabetes Miracle Cure is that you simply really haven't got to be a diagnosed kind one or kind two diabetic to profit from this program. If you are somebody who's into healthy living, susceptible to diabetes, or inquisitive about losing weight, then you may positively notice the Diabetes Miracle Cure a useful guide for you as well.
The Cons
Medical superintendence remains recommended
There are several diabetics that also are taking alternative methods for various health complications, like high cholesterol levels. you cannot simply stop cholesterol-lowering medication (statins) short as a result of it'll have rebound effects. we tend to in person feel that it's additional helpful on your part if you work closely together with your doctor whereas underneath this program.
Not A guaranteed resolution
Well, admittedly, there's some selling plug round the Diabetes Miracle Cure program. whereas it's true that this program relies on scientific researches and proved strategies, no program within the world offers a guaranteed resolution to reverse diabetes like some folks claim.
We will in person advocate keeping your expectations realistic once following Paul Carlyle program and to know that it's not some reasonably a twenty four hours magic bullet.
A Digitally Formatted Anti-Diabetes Program
The Diabetes Miracle Cure is completely sold on-line and it is a downloadable guide. If you've got a slow net association or if you do not like reading eBooks this could be a con for you.
Well, at first, we tend to were to a small degree skeptical of Paul Carlyle claims, that were huge and controversial. And concerning the brown fats, why haven't we tend to detected those before?. However, we tend to did our analysis concerning brown fats and its anti-diabetic and weight loss properties, and also the moment we tend to learned there are such studies concerning these fats, we tend to felt softer concerning this program.
We in person like that the Diabetes Miracle Cure isn't that arduous to know or follow. The authors created positive that everything's bestowed merely, therefore their readers might simply and properly execute their directions. additionally, the very fact that there's no got to involve any risky medication once following the program which all the strategies bestowed by Paul Carlyle and Dr. Robert Evans are 100 percent natural is another large advantage in our opinion.
With that same, the Diabetes Miracle Cure isn't for everybody.
Firstly, folks could get the concept that they ought to whole stop taking their medicines for diabetes and its associated complications then and there. this might be dangerous since some medication could have negative rebound effects, and that we in person believe that it is usually an honest plan to inform your doctor you are beneath this program, therefore he will properly supervise you.
In addition, we tend to should admit that we did not wish to see all the bonded diabetes resolution claims round the web. like all alternative treatment program that's supported natural strategies, the Diabetes Miracle Cure needs efforts and dedication so as to urge any results. If you think that that this program by Dr. Robert Evans and Paul Carlyle is a few reasonably a magic pill then the Diabetes Miracle Cure is completely not for you.
On the opposite hand, if you are uninterested in taking anti-diabetes medication and prick yourself daily, if you are excited with the concept of intake the majority the foods you wish while not restrictions, and if you wish to interrupt free from diabetes and its complications fully naturally, then the Diabetes Miracle Cure may be a nice choice for you to contemplate.
Moreover, this program is obtainable without delay at a special discounted value and if for any reason you decide that it isn't for you, there is a 60-day money-back guarantee that you'll cash in of.
With these 2 nice benefits, we tend to really believe that the Diabetes Miracle Cure is value a attempt. We wish all good healthy life for you and if you already bought the program or you have any suggest or question, please set it in comment box below.

My name is Sean Kevin O'Connor, as you might be able to guess I have some Irish heritage. The Irish are famous for their ability to tan. The deep reds that the sun is able to draw out of the skin if Irishmen evoke comparisons to strawberries and fire engines.
My application of sunblock (SPF 50) seems to make little difference here in Sri Lanka. I can spend four hours at the beach under the shade, and apply sunscreen multiple times, but I will still be bruned by the end of it. I don't understand it, but I accept it. Sri Lankan friends have a hard time grasping my perpetual battle with the sun, they don't understand why I apply a cream every time we go to the beach. They see my red skin at the end of the day, and don't seem to connect it with the sun.
How do you explain sunburn to someone who has never experienced it? I've been trying to for several months, without much success.

Jennifer Lawrence has got some wild dance moves!
In a recently released extended scene from American Hustle on Buzzfeed, the Oscar winner gets down while rocking out to Santana's hit song "Evil Ways."
In the scene, Lawrence (as character Rosalyn Rosenfeld) cleans her house in yellow gloves and a leopard-print caftan as her son watches from the couch. The 23-year-old actress shakes her wild hairdo and mouths the lyrics while dusting her place. She even makes crazy faces while really getting into the song!
Lawrence then proceeds to get on the ground on all fours while swinging her head from left to right as her hair flops around. She then goes into a weird shuffle move across the carpet all while lip-syncing along and wiggling her hips.
Although this scene didn't make the actual movie, the film does feature a similar scene in which she rocks out to and sings along with "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney and Wings.
Check out the fun clip for yourself!

Cyberscams Exploit Consumers' Fears
By Jon Swartz
SAN FRANCISCO -- The rippling financial crisis has sent consumers scurrying to the Internet for answers and advice. Online fraudsters are right behind, devising ways to steal personal information.Cybercrooks are creating fake websites, spam, phishing attacks and malicious software code to take advantage of anxiety during the economic calamity. Like other extraordinary news events, the crisis has heightened fears and made people desperate for information, say computer-security experts.
"It's a new spin on old tactics," says Andre Gold, an independent security consultant who formerly was head of information security and risk management at ING.
*Spam and phishing. Most of the scams center on spam and phishing against the backdrop of bank failures, mergers and takeovers. Current and former customers of JPMorgan Chase and Washington Mutual are being inundated with phishing attempts as Chase navigates an acquisition of Washington Mutual.
One example is an e-mail that appears to come from Chase. It asks customers to go to what is purportedly a Chase website, but is a fake, and provide personal information, such as user ID, password, name, address, phone number and Chase credit card number.
Phishing attacks on Citigroup soared shortly after it announced its intention last month to acquire struggling Wachovia, according to Internet researcher Netcraft.
*Fake websites. Many of the phishing attacks advise bank customers to follow links for websites and update their personal data. The sites are fakes, designed to trick victims into divulging their user name, password and more.
Citigroup and Wachovia customers are among the targets, says Ori Eisen, chief innovation officer at The 41st Parameter, an anti-online-fraud vendor and former anti-fraud director at American Express.
"People's life savings are at risk," says Andy Klein, an e-mail expert at security vendor SonicWall. "Many are especially antsy because they haven't heard from their merged banks yet."
*Targeted malware attacks. Concern about targeted cyberattacks was a major topic among representatives of leading U.K. banks at a London conference this month, says Eisen, who attended.
Financial institutions such as Bank of America post information on their websites about the perils of suspicious e-mail and other online fraud. WaMu's website has a big banner with info on its merger with Chase. (c) Copyright 2008 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co. Inc. <>>

The American Healthcare system is getting a complete facelift thanks to incentives to adopt Health Information Technology introduced by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
The HITECH Act contains tools for the enforcement of HIPAA regulations, as well as incentives to accelerate the adoption of information systems that reduce costs, gain efficiencies, and ultimately improve patient care while keeping patient health information secure. This paper examines the HITECH Act, the enforcement mechanisms the HITECH Act provides for HIPAA, and the key security challenges healthcare services face in order to protect patient health information as part of becoming HIPAA compliant.
Below is a preview of this whitepaper. To get your own copy, fill out the form to the right.
The American Healthcare system is getting a complete facelift thanks to incentives to adopt Health Information Technology introduced by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. Signed into law by President Barack Obama in February 2009, the HITECH Act is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It is also part of the broader healthcare reform initiative championed by President Obama. That agenda includes a push for the adoption of interoperable data capture, storage and transmission protocols in healthcare systems.
New health information technology is considered to be a vital step in the drive to reduce costs, gain efficiencies, and ultimately to improve patient care. This perspective is also held by the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS). HIMSS believes that "lives can be saved, outcomes of care improved, and costs reduced by transforming the healthcare system through the appropriate use of IT and management systems."
However, reports of healthcare data breaches have historically undermined trust in electronic healthcare systems. For this reason, the HITECH Act was designed to both enforce HIPAA regulations, as well as to provide tools to accelerate the adoption of information systems that keep patient health information secure. This paper examines the HITECH Act, describes how the HITECH Act provides enforcement for HIPAA, and outlines the key challenges faced by the healthcare service industry today in protecting patient information in a fashion that meets HIPAA regulatory requirements.
The HITECH Act has come at a time when healthcare data breaches are on the rise. According to the 2009 ITRC Breach Stats Report, healthcare breaches account for over 66% of all records breached in 2009, which is a 20% increase from 2008.2 Among the high profile data breaches in 2009 were those at Blue Cross Blue Shield and AIG – Medical Excess LLC.3 Data breaches from such high profile health service providers, in addition to the overall magnitude of the problem, continue to sound alarm bells at all levels. The Federal Government reacted by proposing mechanisms that would give the security standards in the existing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) more "teeth". The Verizon Business 2009 Data Breach Investigations Report warned that organizations storing large quantities of data valued by the criminal community should be prepared to detect and defend against very determined, well-funded, skilled, targeted and sophisticated attacks.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), also known as the Economic Stimulus Package, provided more than $20 billion to aid in the development of a robust and comprehensive Health Information Technology (HIT) infrastructure, and assist providers and other entities in the adoption and daily utilization of healthcare IT, particularly regarding the adoption and "meaningful use" of "certified" Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in conjunction with a secure nationwide electronic Health Information Exchange (HIE) network. Approximately $2 billion was specifically earmarked to jump start both the development of data standards and HIE support, as well as to initiate grants, loans and demonstration programs. The overall goal of the HIT and HIE provisions in the Act is to update and ensure the security and protection of patients' Electronic Private Health Information (ePHI), while improving the quality of care and reducing healthcare costs through efficiencies gained by increased data exchange and information system interoperability. This requires covered entities to update not only existing HIT contracts to require vendors to earn any EHR certification that may be required, but also to update existing HIPAA privacy and security policies and procedures.
Patient information collected and stored in hospitals and other healthcare facilities is a prime target for criminals, because these records contain valuable data such as names, mailing addresses, Social Security Numbers, insurance policy information, medical history, dates of birth, and sometimes, credit card or other financial information.
According to one report, "there is more data in one (patient) record than in those of any other source such as banks, schools, or HR departments."5 The rise of breaches in hospitals, despite more stringent privacy regulations, is due to more hospitals integrating their electronic records. Pam Dixon, the Executive Director of the World Privacy Forum, states: "until recently, we were in an era of privacy through obscurity,"6 meaning that it was possible to get information on a patient from paper records, but that it was not easy to share that information. Now that medical information is often shared electronically, there is a far greater need for increased data control.
The ARRA designated $20.2 billion in funding earmarked for healthcare IT through the HITECH Act for facilities that adopt "meaningful use" of "certified" electronic medical records. In the words of Robinsue Frohboese, Acting Director and Principal Deputy Director of Office of Civil Rights at the HHS, "these protections will be a cornerstone of maintaining consumer trust as we move forward with meaningful use of electronic health records and electronic exchange of health information."
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is enforced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HIPAA began as a "portability act" to help individuals keep their health insurance coverage as they moved from one job to another, but it has evolved to include much more.
Title I deals with HIPAA's original intent in that it protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs.
Title II extends that original intent by protecting the privacy, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of an individual's personal healthcare information. Its Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, the most significant part of Title II, address the security and privacy of healthcare data.
These rules apply to "covered entities," as defined by HIPAA and HHS, including all healthcare organizations that create, receive, maintain, or transmit patient healthcare information. These include:
Security provisions for HIPAA compliance are designed to help healthcare service providers and their business associates mitigate the risk of becoming a victim of data loss. Theft of valuable patient information leads to the loss of trust in the usage of electronic health records (EHRs) that are used by healthcare providers to share information. This loss of trust reduces the adoption of EHRs, which erodes patient care. To protect patient information, the HITECH Act has tied the utilization of EHRs back to adoption of the HIPAA Security Rule. The Security Rule is addressed in Title II of HIPAA as part of the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions which address both the security and privacy of electronic health data as part of the three rules: the Electronic Data Interchange Rule, the Privacy Rule, and the Security Rule.
To achieve HIPAA compliance, covered entities must demonstrate adherence to the Security Rule. The Security Rule mandates protection of all electronic Personal Health Information (ePHI) created, received, maintained, or transmitted by any covered entity. This is primarily achieved through the application of requirements in three main categories of safeguards: Administrative, Physical, and Technical.
The most relevant Administrative Safeguards are:
A contingency plan should be in place for responding to emergencies. Covered entities are responsible for backing up their data and having disaster recovery procedures in place. The plan should document data priority and failure analysis, testing activities, and change control procedures.
Internal audits play a key role in HIPAA compliance by reviewing operations with the goal of identifying potential security violations. Policies and procedures should specifically document the scope, frequency, and procedures of audits. Audits should be both routine and event-based.
The category of Technical Safeguards is also important. The most relevant of those are:
In addition to policies, procedures and access logs, IT documentation should also include a written record of all configuration settings on the components of the network, because these components are complex, configurable, and always changing.
Documented risk analysis and risk management programs are required. Covered entities must carefully consider the risks of their operations as they implement systems to comply with the act.
All of these HIPAA regulations designed to protect the privacy of patient information have meant that many healthcare organizations routinely conduct internal audits of their IT environment and produce reports that demonstrate their HIPAA compliance. HIPAA auditors perform HIPAA Risk Assessment Audits using a comprehensive checklist based on Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations and guidance in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-66. This audit checklist is used to gather evidence that specific administrative, physical, and technical safeguards are in place, and available for inspection by the HHS Office of Civil Rights (OCR).
In terms of security, the audit must provide evidence that the organization meets the electronic Personal Health Information (ePHI) protection regulations required to achieve HIPAA compliance in accordance with relevant sections of §164.308 to §164.316 of the HIPAA Security Rule. HIPAA does not restrict the risk assessment to a single methodology. Instead, HIPAA requires covered entities to periodically review and update its security measures and documentation in response to environmental and operational changes that affect security of its ePHI, and to refer to the comprehensive risk assessment program described in NIST SP 800-30.
Despite HIPAA's extensive and detailed sets of rules and regulations, healthcare organizations tended to ignore HIPAA provisions since the regulation had not been rigidly enforced. But that has all begun to change, thanks to the passage of the HITECH Act as part of the ARRA. The $20B in ARRA funding earmarked for healthcare IT provides the funding to begin serious audit enforcement measures to support HIPAA.

St Paul's Institute yesterday released their long-awaited 'Value and Values' report, based on a survey of 515 financial professionals working in the City.
Occupy London has welcomed Labour leader Ed Miliband's recognition that they have something important to add to debates about the economic future.
The Occupy London Stock Exchange camp at St Paul's Cathedral plans to set up a welfare programme to assist vulnerable people joining them.
Now that a legal confrontation between St Paul's Cathedral and the Occupy London anti-corporate greed and economic injustice camp on its doorstep seems to have been avoided, we can and should move back to the main issues of social, economic, political and spiritual transformation.
Occupy LSX, camped outside St Paul's, says it is delighted that two potential legal cases to evict protesters appear to have been suspended.
The protest at St Paul's was seen by an unexpectedly large number of people as the expression of a widespread and deep exasperation with the financial establishment that shows no sign at all of diminishing, says Archbishop Rowan Williams, as he goes on to back practical, morally based measures to address the economic crisis - including the Robin Hood Tax on financial transactions.
The Dean of St Paul's, Graeme Knowles, has resigned over the Cathedral's chaotic, derided response to the Occupy London encampment on its doorsteps.
The Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, still wants to remove Occupy London Stock Exchange protesters from the precincts of St Paul's Cathedral.
There is polling from YouGov out today for the Sunday Times which reveals public opinion over recent events surrounding the Occupy London Stock Exchange protests outside St Paul's Cathedral.

I thought along the same lines as you. Perhaps it's the reflection of the light in the window from across the aisle.

How cluttered is your life? These ways to focus by decluttering your life from Psychology Today, are highly relevant in today's ridiculously hectic world. We're surrounded by distractions in every direction, with so many choices for everything we do, be it TV shows, films, video games, reality TV, shops, supermarkets, technology, gadgets, email, messages, internet, social media (how many platforms are there now?) No wonder so many people struggle to focus! Take time to read this whole article – it's thought-provoking and so very true.
Look at your life:
- Schedule: Too many activities and appointments ;
- Garage/storage: Too many boxes filled with stuff that you will never use again;
- Closets: Too many clothes, equipment, tchotchkes, and just plain junk that will never see the light of day;
- Purse or wallet: Too many credit cards, membership cards, and receipts;
- Toys: Too many for children and adults;
- Refrigerator: Too much food.
Stuff, of the cultural, technological, spatial, temporal, psychological, and social varieties, do so much more harm than good in our lives. It makes us stressed, claustrophobic, overloaded, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and lonely.
So here's what you can do to tackle this growing concern:
Here's what you should do. De-clutter your life!:
- Popular culture: Watch, play, and listen less, don't buy stuff you don't need, don't believe anything it tells you, don't care too much about it;
- Technology: Opt out, delete, uninstall, don't update, don't click, don't save, don't friend, follow, or like, disconnect, unplug;
- Your world: Throw out, empty, clear, sell, donate, give away, reuse, recycle, reduce;
- Time: Un-schedule, don't plan, don't over-commit, say no, do nothing, slow down, take off your watch, be spontaneous;
- Your social life: Be selective, choose quality over quantity, spend time alone.
- Your mind: Clarify, prioritize, simplify, tune in, zone out, read,meditate;
- Your body: Eat nutritiously and in small portions, exercise frequently, go outside, relax often, nap regularly, go to sleep early.
Ah, your life uncluttered. Enjoy! Read whole article here
I couldn't agree more with these ways to focus by decluttering your life. If you're close to someone who never throws things out, give them a gentle nudge. Clutter affects your subconscious mind too, sending mixed messages to it that there are things to do which aren't complete, and this makes it more difficult to focus using your conscious mind, think clearly and make good decisions.

Hey guys:
I just sampled some Tommy Hilfiger Est. 1985 cologne recently. I thought it was actually quite nice. However, I somehow missed out on all the other Tommy frags when they were all released back in the day. I know that this is marketed to the older crowd, even though the others are considered more youthful. So, my question is this: Does the newest release from Tommy have the most mature smell of the bunch, or are they all about the same to you guys?
