The primary issue is that we women chronically undervalue ourselves, chronically undercharge for our services, and chronically say yes to projects that don't pay or aren't connected to our goals and priorities.
The organizations we join should be our first line of access and support for turning that behavior around. And the organization needs to model it.
We too need to take personal responsibility for finding our pause button to say, "You know, thank you for the invitation. I'm focusing now on paid speaking and training gigs, so if you'd like to brainstorm how we can meet both our needs, I'm in."
The secondary issue is that the organization itself does not become as profitable as it could be. It's common to develop paid sponsorships for conferences and bigger special events while also charging members a registration fee. But couldn't that strategy also work to pay for monthly or quarterly professional development events?
Conversely, this work for free phenomenon seems to correlate with the fact that women are likely to pay more for products and services. In Sex Discrimination and Gender Bias - Why Do Women Pay More Than Men at Marie Claire Lea Goldman writes:
"… being a woman in this country has become an increasingly expensive proposition. It's not just dry cleaning and haircuts where women get socked: We pay more for home mortgages, health insurance, and cars and car repairs (even when we mind our credit, eat right and exercise, and do our homework), not to mention everyday items like deodorant and disposable razors. California, which in 1996 became the first state to ban gender pricing, found that women paid about $1,351 annually in extra costs and fees. Apply that figure to the rest of the women in the country and the total burden is staggering — roughly $151 billion in markups, more than what the federal government spent on education last year and greater than the budgets of 43 states."
Statistically we are 4 times less likely than men to negotiate our salaries and exact better deals for ourselves, but isn't it curious that we have no trouble asking our sisters to work for free?
In Gloria Steinem's video in support of President Obama, she references the stats that if women were paid equally, there would be "$200 billion more circulating in the economy…each woman would be getting an average of $148 more a week, and every woman of color would get $262 more a week."
Even though we've made much progress we're still carrying the psychological burden of being value-less, and passing it on. It's now time to assert our value while also agitating the leadership of the organizations to which we belong to change their policies.

text: Richmond County was laid off in 1779, of that part of Anson which was east of the Pee Dee River. It is situated southwest of Raleigh, about 90 miles, and bounded north by Montgomery, east by Moore, Cumberland and Robeson, south by South Carolina and west by Anson. In the northern portion of the county it is undulating and even broken near Mountain Creek and other streams which flow through it. The soil is partly slate and partly red sandstone, in the section referred to, and the timber oak, hickory, short- leafed pine, maple, etc., which considerable long-leaf pine beyond Little River. It is not sandy, however, as in some other parts, the soil being such as is usually found over-lying the red sandstone. In this part much cotton as well as small grain is raised, and the quality is equal to any upland cotton produced in the country. The productions and quality of articles are such the same all along the river near which there is much clay and some decomposed granite-the formation being generally the same as that to be found near Raleigh and in Franklin County and west Raleigh, nearly as far as Chapel Hill. The central part of the county, except near the river and the creeks, is sandy, and was covered originally, and now is where the forests remain, with long leafed pine. It is naturally unproductive, but by heavy and judicious manuring, yields fair crops. It is well adapted to sweet potatoes. The staple of cotton is inferior. Indeed this is, I think, unusual in the sandy soils of the eastern part of the State. In the broken sand hills it is not so good as in the flat lands of the lower part of the county. Land is cheap in this section, and can be had in any quantities from 50 cents to $2 per acre, depending upon improvements. There is no healthier region in the world. This belt comprises half the territorial extent of the county-say 350 square miles. The other half is divided about equally between section 1, as described, and the lower, or level part of the county. The lower part is generally quite level, and is sand formation, with a clay substratum a few inches below the surface. Farms in that section are worth from $8 to $25 per acre. Crops are cotton, corn and oats. By the use of fertilizers and good cultivation the yield of cotton per acre runs from 1000 to 1500 pounds in the seed. It is healthy and the water pure, having an average temperature of about 65 degrees Fahr. The wells in the centre and northern belt afford cooler water, none of it, however, being less than 58 decrees, and but little so low as that. The Carolina Central Railroad passes through the county about 32 miles, and the Raleigh & Augusta, which connects at Hamlet, six miles below Rockingham, about 14 miles. Many streams which have their sources in the sand hills afford water power, because of the constancy and equability of their flow. However heavy the rains, the water sinks in the soil, and keeps up the supply, instead of running off as in the up country and producing floods. We have neither "feasts" nor "famines" in these streams; and hence, when sufficient fall can be had, much power for machinery is within reach, and this has been and will be utilized. There are now in operation in the county five mills engaged in making cotton goods. All of them spin and two of them weave also. Besides there another is in process of construction, three miles northeast of Rockingham on Hitchcock's Creek, a bold stream, and never failing. The dam is of stone twenty-two and a half feet high. Malloy & Morgan's mill is in Gum Swamp (Little Pee Dee) two miles east of Laurel Hill station, C.C. Railway. It has about 1,000 spindles and makes warps only. Leak, Wall & McRae's mill is on Hitchcock's Creek, one mile southwest of Rockingham, and immediately on the line of the railroads. It has 1,000 spindles, and makes warps only. Ledbetter's mill is five miles northeast of Rockingham on Hitchcock's Creek, has 1,000 spindles, and makes warps only. The Great Falls mill is just on the western outskirts of Rockingham, on Falling Creek. The head of water is forty feet. It has 4,109 spindles and 140 looms. It makes plain sheetings, 7,000 yards daily. The Pee Dee mill is on Hitchcock's Creek, just outside of the town. The head water is 18 feet. It has 4,000 spindles and 120 looms, with 18 more ordered and 12 more in contemplation. It makes plaids, 5,000 yards daily. The new mill, before alluded to, will, when complete, have 6,000 spindles and 200 looms, and make sheetings. Its productive capacity will be about 10,000 yards daily. It will commence operations in November with 3,000 spindles and 100 looms. On Hitchcock's Creek, three and a half miles west of Rockingham, and one and a half miles from the Pee Dee, Robert S. Ledbetter has a grist mill and cotton gin. This is a splendid site for a cotton mill, being on the line of the railroad. A head of water 12 feet can be had, which will afford ample power for 5,000 spindles and 100 looms. The same is the case with the mill of T.B. and J.L. Ledbetter. Besides these mills, sites for other small ones, from 1,000 to 4,000 spindles, can be had on Naked and Mark's Creek, as well as Joe's Creek. And at the Grassy Islands, 12 miles northwest of Rockingham, power can be had for 20,000 spindles. These are on the Pee Dee. Other sites on the river cane also be had. The only trouble would be that the locations might be unhealthy. There are over 100,000 acres of land in the county well studded with long leafed pine, a large part of which, however, has been subjected to turpentine operation. Besides this timber there is a large quantity of persimmon, which would make the best of shuttles and bobbins. We have also quite a quantity of dogwood, which is unsurpassed for this purpose. Then our sandhill swamps contain excellent poplar, and quite a quantity of the trees familiarly called juniper. A good deal of the water in the upper end of the county, where the formation is red sandstone, is somewhat brackish, as is usually the case in this formation. Farms are worth $5 to $20 per acre. The population of the county is now quite 20,000, of whom about 9,000 are whites. In religious views they are nearly all Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians, and, in numbers, probably in the order named, though there is no great difference in the first two denominations. Most fruits succeed well. Owing to climatic causes, apples of the later variety are not suited. We can raise as fine peaches, pears and grapes as any one need to want, and on a high range of hills between Mountain and Buffalo Creeks, in the northern part of the county, the peach crop does not fail one year in ten. The same can be said of a high range near the Grassy Islands. These locations are rather remote from the railroads for profit in fruit raising. According to the census returns, the cotton crop of the county is about 12,000 bales. The cotton mills consume about 5,000, of them, and when the Roberdell is completed the consumption will be fully 7,500 bales. The construction shops of the C.C. Railway are located at Laurinburg, twenty-two and a half miles southeast of Rockingham. This is a flourishing town of about 1200 inhabitants. Rockingham has about the same population. W.L.S.

This real-time strategy game can be difficult to master. Practice against the computer and when you're ready, take on up to 3 other human opponents over the Internet.
Primary Stylus Button – Select your planet(s) to launch an attack
Left Stylus Button - Select target planet
Right Stylus Button – Zoom and rotate the galaxy to see all the planets.
Spacebar – Pause and view help screen
'ESC' – Go back to previous menu, Exits when at main menu
And Much More - Go through the online Help at the main menu to learn all controls, including advanced actions and keyboard shortcuts.
The strategy can become quite involved. Decide what percentage of your ships to attack with and from how many planets. If you send too many, your planets will be vulnerable to counterattack. Larger planets generate ships more quickly. You can wait to generate more ships before attacking, but keep an eye on the score - both number of planets and population of your opponents is important.
Once you fall behind, it can be very difficult to catch up. Try to eliminate opponents completely by focusing your attacks. Just make sure don't ignore someone and allow them to become too strong. Multiplayer Mode – You must be connected to the Internet to play others live. Put in your name and "Connect". You'll connect to anyone else looking for a game. If you are the Game Host, you can set the difficultly level of the computer opponents. The Host can start the game at any time, with computer opponents filling in slots not filled by humans. Up to four people can play at once. Check the "Private" box if you want to connect to a certain person. Give the room a name, tell your opponent the name of the room, and they will be able to connect to you by checking "private" and entering the same room name.

When it comes to resumes, recruiters have seen it all. Some are clever and creative, and some contain outright blatant untruths. What hiring managers see most, however, is a parade of the same old tired words and phrases that don't tell them anything useful about the candidates. These words have become standard fare and have been recommended by just about every resume expert in the 1990s. Hiring needs have changed over the past two decades and companies are seeking more specialized experience and skills. Here are five resume phrases to avoid if you want yours to stand out in the crowd.
Team Leader
This phrase is meant to convey that the applicant has experience in managing employees. The phrase "team leader," however, does nothing to describe the nature of the relationship. For example, having the responsibility to hire, fire and otherwise manage human resources is a different skill than being responsible for receiving updates from a project team. Choose specific examples of human resource experience and outline exactly what you were in charge of. Tailor the examples chosen and the description to the requirements of the job posting.
Effective Communicator
What does this term really say about you? That you talk a lot? That you conserve your words? That you speak only when necessary? It is simply another vacant phrase that tells a potential employer nothing about your skills. What do you communicate and to whom? If you want to highlight the fact that you consult your staff and include them in the decision-making process, be specific in referencing this and provide clear examples of your communication style and why it was effective.
"Co-ordinated" is a word often used in resumes when you can't say "in charge of" or "responsible for." Its meaning is vague and unclear. What did you co-ordinate? What did it involve – developing a project plan, following a schedule or checking in with different teams? Use more specific verbs to show a recruiter the extent of your management experience.
Innovative Thinker
Companies and organizations don't hire thinkers. They hire experienced doers. If you believe that your thought processes have helped you to be successful in your career, outline the results of your thinking. Show how the plan and the actions were innovative and why. If it resulted in the company saving money, increasing productivity or other objective measures, show numerically how you have helped the company.

Rex Hartwig played in the Australian Davis Cup team from 1953-1955.
This year Keith Jenkins caught up with Rex who is still actively farming in northern Victoria.
Rex was born on September 29th 1929 in Culcairn NSW. His parents both played tennis, his father one of the best in the area, so it comes as no surprise that young Rex took to the game and enjoyed countless hours off the court playing "the wall" which he envisaged to be NSW player Jimmy Matthews and the man to beat. At aged 10, Rex and his father played in a local tournament and won. The little cup they awarded to Rex is naturally one of his most treasured trophies even to this day.
At 13, Rex started to play in regular afternoon competitions and in this journey met Allan Kendall senior and junior, who were related to Jack Crawford and managed the grass courts in Albury. Rex took a job at the courts with Allan Kendall (junior) and they became a solid doubles pair winning the NSW, Victorian and Australian Junior titles. Allan Kendall later wrote the book "Australia's Wimbledon Champions" in 1995 which is an excellent read.
These performances led Rex and Allan to be included in a country squad that played at White City in Sydney. On the first night out at Luna Park, he went down a slide awkwardly landing on his tail bone making walking and playing the next day very tough. Despite this, he won the mixed event. The junior development scheme designed to scout for up and coming talent claimed Rex was the first player to reach International success.
After playing regionally for the next few years, Spalding promoter Ian Trethowan and Melbourne based president of Lauriston Tennis Club, Les Exelby, enticed Rex to a career with Spalding and a position in the Lauriston A Pennant team. Perhaps not in the overall plan, Rex and Les' daughter Madge became an item and consequently were married. Every Tuesday and Thursday Rex would leave work early to play tennis at Kooyong, practicing against Frank Sedgman, Ken McGregor and Colin Long among others which greatly added to Rex's development. The stiff competition also made it difficult for Rex to gain a berth in Victoria's interstate teams, so his career was comparatively slow to take off compared to the others, even though he was capable of beating all of them.
He was selected to represent Victoria in the Mars Buckely Cup and it was here that Harry Hopman and Rex became more than acquaintances. Rex trained with the 1952 Davis Cup Team and won the South Australian and West Australian Singles Championships. This was his entrée into the 1953 Davis Cup team as the then current tennis heroes Sedgman and McGregor both turned pro. Rex was to play vital roles in the Davis Cup team along with Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall for the next three years.
The 1953 Davis Cup match against the USA was perhaps one of the most controversial, yet eagerly anticipated events in Australian Tennis Davis Cup history for the reason that the exciting new combination of Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall both only turning 19 in that year were making their debut together. Lew had been in the 1952 team but had not played and this was Ken's first time named in the team. Despite their young ages, both had performed very well on the international tournament scene and Australian public interest in the boys was immense. Hoad defeated Seixas in straight sets and Rosewall lost in straight to Trabert showing signs of nerves and sluggish form. The next day for the doubles the selectors dropped a bombshell, deciding to omit Rosewall from the doubles and opted to play Hartwig with Hoad in a combination not tried fully before. Although, Hartwig was probably the top doubles player his regular partner was Rose and this should have been the decision. Hartwig was about to catch a tram back home to collect his wife when he was told only half an hour before the game he was playing in the doubles. The mis-match didn't inspire either player and this became Hartwig's first and only defeat in a Davis Cup match.
The swap created public and press consternation, however Hopman in his book "Aces and Places" identified that Hoad and Hartwig had played together at a secret practice session at Royal South Yarra in the weeks leading up the contest. Luckily, Lew and Ken won the return singles to take the tie 3-2.
In 1954, Rex unfortunately got the mumps! He was playing better than Lew and Ken and everybody else at the time but the poor timing meant he only was able to get in 2 or 3 practice days before the match started. Even so, " I beat Lew still! As it turned out I wasn't picked but I suppose I still got a game. Lew got hurt and I played the last match against Seixas, whom I beat". Rex was indeed having a good couple of years in 1953 & 1954, being runner up in the Australian and US singles events and winning the doubles in the 1953 US Championships and at the Australian and Wimbledon in 1954. The Wimbledon win was no doubt a good one against familiar foes Trabert and Seixas.
Interestingly, the Hoad/ Hartwig combination was continued in the 1955 contests and in regaining the Davis Cup in 1955, they reversed the 1953 result against Trabert and Seixas.
Hartwig's form was extremely good. On the USA tour against Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Italy and the USA, he lost only one service game. The doubles match against Seixas and Trabert rates as one of his best memories with the final score 12-14 6-4 6-3 3-6 7-5 and a record as the longest lasting doubles match in Davis Cup history up until then. They also won the Wimbledon doubles in 1955, the second time for Hartwig, having also won in 1954 with Rose against fellow Aussies Rosewall and Neale Fraser.
This was Rex's last Davis Cup, for it was then that he turned pro in another bizarre series of circumstances. Jack Kramer had his eyes on Rosewall and Hoad to turn professional and although the youngsters had signed a provisional agreement tennis authorities did everything possible to create a situation to keep them in the amateur ranks. Kramer in desperation flew to Australia only to find the lads had decided not to turn pro. Hartwig saw an opportunity to join with the Kramer troupe and did so. While not a big name per se, Rex played 102 games on the American tour winning 87 and losing 15 with many matches against Pancho Segura, although he rated matches against Pancho Gonzales as the toughest. He came back home after some tours to Europe and South Africa and then only played pro events here, mainly in doubles with Rosewall and then Hoad the following year.
After that, Rex really did retire. He didn't touch a racquet for close to 16 years.
In 1974, Frank Sedgman persuaded Rex into getting back into the game. The Grand Masters circuit for over 45's was being developed very successfully into a 22 tournament circuit, mainly in the USA, some in Europe, the Philippines but not in Australia.
His first proper Masters tournament back is a testament to his natural ability and fitness. Only a few weeks after starting up again, he ended up in the finals losing to Frank, and together they won the doubles. From there Rex joined the Grand Masters tour for 5 years.
This suited Rex and his wife for they were treated like tennis royalty and could share the experience together. Unfortunately this was something not possible in the mid 50's Davis Cup events when the family was just growing up. Australian tennis authorities back then even proclaimed, in writing, that no wives were to be in the same country as a Davis Cup event.
tennishistory.com.au would like to thank Rex for very kindly giving his time and for sharing his memories and recollections.
Thanks also to Keith Jenkins who travelled from Melbourne to interview Rex at his farm.

Significance and Use
Hydrogen cyanide is highly toxic. In relatively low quantities, hydrogen cyanide can cause asphyxia and death.
The National Fire Protection Association has assigned a flammability rating of 4 (severe fire hazard) to hydrogen cyanide.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice is used to determine the concentration of gaseous hydrogen cyanide (HCN) from any combustion device or atmosphere where cyanide may be present. While primarily designed for the measurement of gas phase HCN, the sample collection described in this practice also includes cyanide ion (CN-) absorbed particles that may be present in the sampling atmosphere.
1.1.1 Samples can be collected from a closed chamber such as the NBS smoke box described in Test Method E662 provided it is equipped with sampling ports.
1.1.2 Open chambers such as industrial work areas or large scale fires can be monitored for HCN with this practice.
1.1.3 The HCN emissions of a flow through system can be determined by sampling from its discharge stack. Examples of such systems include large scale manufacturing applications and the cone calorimeter described in Test Method E1354.
1.2 This practice can be used to monitor HCN levels in lab scale fire smoke effluents in order to estimate toxicity of gases produced from burning materials. See Guide E800.
1.3 The concentration range of hydrogen cyanide will be dependent on the volume of gas sampled, the volume of sodium hydroxide solution placed in the impinger during sampling, and the analytical method used to measure cyanide. For example, the lower limit of detection would be 0.002-mg/m3 when 0.1-m3 of combustion effluent is collected into 100-mL sodium hydroxide solution based on a detection limit of 0.002 mg/L cyanide in the impinger solution when using the flow injection analysis (FIA) system described in Test Method D6888.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

What's it like to be a….defense consultant?
My job title is:
Subject Matter Expert (SME) / Consultant - someone who has expertise in a particular area/s pertinent to company projects. For defense/technology companies this can range from politics, transportation, infrastructure, business, communications, military, populations, foreign relations, computer programing, etc.
What does a normal day look like? Is it consistent throughout the year? If youve had this position for a while, how have things changed?
A workday could consist of individual research, writing reports, data analysis, group collaboration and discussion, informal team meetings, or formal company meetings with clients. The annual schedule is dictated by individual project schedules so there can be slower days at the beginning of a project and extremely long and hectic days toward project completion. Doldrums and fast sailing be ready for both.
What other, if any, positions have you held prior to your current job? How did you get to where you are now?
I was hired by my employer while I was in graduate school. They needed someone to fulfill a specific opening and I met all of the qualifications. Many defense/technical companies send recruiting teams to larger universities.
What kind of training/education did you have? What would you suggest? What qualifications/skills/attributes make someone successful in this position?
My educational background was an MA in European History. I would suggest primary majors in political science, history, engineering, or similar fields that develop strong research, writing, and analytical skills. I must also STRONGLY recommend a secondary major or minor in business or perhaps computer science. These are very practical and marketable skills to possess and highly valued in the private sector. Employers want well-rounded candidates who are really good at something but have basic knowledge of lots of other things.
What are the rewards in your position? Challenges? What makes a good day for you?
The greatest reward of these types of positions is that every project is a challenge. They require you to think outside the box and anticipate every eventuality. There is something very rewarding about successful problem solving and seeing a project bear fruit at the end. You can also take pride in the fact that you are contributing to safety and well-being of our country, its soldiers, and its citizens.
What trends or changes do you foresee in the next 5-10 years?
The post-Cold War world is a constantly evolving place in which new challenges to our national security and well-being continue to arise. As a result there is a steady (if not growing) need for SMEs/consultants in the defense/national security sector.
How could a person find out more about your field?
The best way to research this field is to look at the websites of companies or federal agencies that do this sort of work. Google combinations of keywords such as SME, Consultant, Jobs, Defense, etc. to find. When you have found companies in the fields you are interested in look for internship opportunities. Also see if these companies will have representatives at career fairs at any larger universities in the area. Finally, NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK!!!! When you start to develop contacts with companies or through internships, get to know as many people in your area of interest as possible and stay in touch with them. Also, utilize any opportunity to go to a conference, publish, or speak in public as these are great things to put on your resume and build contacts. Develop as much REAL WORLD experience as you can.
When you were growing up, did you have any interests that you have built into your work?
My personal expertise in my topic began when I was a kid. I researched similar topics within my field while in graduate school. This knowledge and work is what got me hired. Develop an expertise in something that you enjoy and are fascinated with (but also develop a good knowledge base of similar or other broader fields). If you are going to do all this work, some of it should be with something you enjoy.
What obstacles have you overcome to get to where you are today?
The primary obstacles I faced were a lack of business and computer knowledge in the beginning. I was not made aware of the importance of these very practical and marketable skills. I came up to speed on them but I had to do so on my own.
Another obstacle which students may have to face is the content of some of their coursework. Particularly in collegiate history and political science courses there is a strong emphasis on post-modern social theory with social activist undertones. Much of the perspectives that are most valued in the private sector (political, military, economic, diplomatic, etc.) are not taught to the same extent. Students should seek out courses and instructors that do not follow this current trend and take it upon themselves to read and research the pertinent perspectives on their own. In the private workplace, you will have to research all sides of a problem and you will have to make an OBJECTIVE judgment as to what are the most factually accurate sources. This is not a career field for social activists or those who want to rewrite history or reinvent society.
How do your beliefs and values or worldview perspectives impact what you do at work?
A friendly, calm, yet confident demeanor, professional business etiquette, and a Protestant Work Ethic will help someone to excel in this field of work.

1998 Nissan Altima 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 144000 miles
I've got a problem. I'm about to trade in my Altima and get a new car. A couple years back someone tried breaking into my car through the trunk and messed up my keyed entry to the trunk. Also a couple months back I went to open my trunk by using the trunk release down by the drivers seat and the cable broke. Now I can't open my trunk to get everything out before I trade in my car. Any suggestions on getting my trunk open?
have the same problem?

Can You Retire on $1,230 a Month?
This message is meant primarily for readers 50 years old and older.
According to the U. S. Social Security Administration, the average monthly Social Security benefit for a retired worker is about $1,230.
That's the average—yours will be more or less than that based upon what you and your employer have contributed since you began working.
What kind of a lifestyle will you have on your social security check?
Hopefully you have savings, good equity in your home, and a fat 401K to allow you to retire when you want and in the style you would like.
But the vast majority of Americans in the 50-plus range are substantially underfunded when it comes to retirement income. Many have no plan at all.
So this means working at least into their 70's and/or cutting back substantially on expenses. And that's not so easy to do.
But I have good news. It doesn't take a large investment portfolio to retire, it takes an income—a dependable, steady income that will pay you through your golden years.
Because there is such a great need and because there are so many Baby Boomers reaching retirement age over the next few years, we're creating a complete system in which anyone can design, create and benefit from a "Lifestyle Business".
I've been working on it ever since The Achievement Code came out last year. And I'm excited to be able to help so many people who want to SUBSTANTIALLY improve their retirement years.
It's all launching in just a few weeks.
But I wanted to tell you about it today, because there is an opportunity for a few individuals to participate at a special price, with personal attention from me, while it is in beta.
This is a chance for you to start (or reinvent) a no- or low-cost, no-risk, lifestyle business of your own with my personal guidance and support.
I'm looking for a handful of serious, committed and hard-working people to create a whole new chapter in their lives.
We'll be sharing all the great details and the many powerful benefits of our new program over the next few weeks. But I want to start with a very small group of people over the next three months to be used as case studies and success stories. That will also mean some valuable exposure for you and your new business.
If you think you would like to be part of this, contact me so we can chat. Please, only serious inquiries. I don't want to waste your time or mine.
I'll explain more when we chat by phone.
Send your name, eMail address and phone number to firstname.lastname@example.com with LIFESTYLE BIZ in the subject.
I look forward to helping you make your golden years your very BEST years.
Michael Angier
PS: As part of the "Silver Tsunami", it's your turn and it's your time. You can design and create your own business that supports your lifestyle—that's why we call it a lifestyle business.

Mammootty, though had many movie releases last year, failed to impress the audience in all and could not reap success in all the films. His movie Gangster, which was released this year with much hype, too failed to keep the expected level. Now, the actor states that from now, he will be more choosy in selecting roles.
Mammootty is known for his generosity for promoting young and upcoming directors. Due to this attitude, he had to do many such roles which was not of his kind and due to this, the actor had many flops in his career. Mammootty now says that he will now focus more into quality films rather than doing a film just for someone. He pledged that he will be concentrating more on the script too.
Adding on, Mammootty disclose that his first move in implementing the decision is his movie Varsham. Directed by Ranjith Sankar, the movie is yet another anticipated movie of the actor. Ranjith Sankar, who helmed Punyalan Agarbattis, says that he has come up with Varsham after so much hardwork and effort.
Mammootty says that he signed Varsham as he has full confidence in Ranjith Sankar as a director. Alike Punyalan, the main location of Varsham too will be Thrissur. The music has been composed by Bijibal. It has been reported that Mammootty will be producing this movie.

At the end of April a couple hundred Alfresco enthusiasts met in Zaragoza, Spain, for the second annual BeeCon. BeeCon is a conference organized by and for the Alfresco community. Attendees represented every continent except Antarctica (and Boriss, who is Chilean, tried to claim that he also represents Antarctica). I was truly impressed with the broad attendance, especially with those that came from as far away as China and Australia to collaborate, learn, and teach together with the rest of the Alfresco community.
Here are some thoughts I had during the conference…
Where are the North Americans, especially U.S.-based partners?
We increased our attendance by North Americans this year from almost no one to a small handful of the usuals plus a few new delegates, including some from the University of Alberta. The Alfresco community has always been stronger in Europe than in North America for whatever reason, but I'd like to see us significantly improve attendance from North America.
Key to that is partner participation. A formal partner should be setting the example for contributing to the community. This is not simply altruism–a company can help the community and by doing so add top-spin to the value of their partnership. European partners clearly get that. One European partner had 8 or 9 people at the conference. Zia and Micro Strategies did make it. But most North American partners seem to only be interested in selling and marketing events, which is a real shame.
Alfresco is clearly focused on Cloud and ADF
It is clear that the big focus for Alfresco is on two areas: Cloud and the ADF (Application Development Framework).
For cloud, work is under way to essentially develop a cloud-native content repository and associated services. This is more than just spinning up some virtual machines on AWS, Google, or Azure and running Alfresco as we know it. This would leverage the services those platforms provide in a native way to provide content services. Examples include things like using S3 for storage, Dynamo for metadata, and lambdas for things like actions and behaviors. Alfresco is focusing first on AWS, then they'll look at other cloud providers.
The ADF is the other area of focus. It is often referred to in the same breath as "Angular components" but it is more than just a set of components for that specific client-side framework. The ADF also includes a more general client-side JavaScript library, so if Angular is not your thing, you can still leverage the client-side JavaScript library from your framework of choice. The ADF also includes some project bootstrapping in the form of a Yeoman generator.
There were also several talks on the server-side REST API that is new in 5.2 which is an essential set of services that enable those front-end libraries to work.
Alfresco confirmed that this focus on ADF means the existing Share client is not receiving much, if any, attention at this point. John Newton said that they are working on an "exemplary" or canonical client built with the ADF. The goal, however, is for that example client to be more focused on a specific use case and not a more general document management use case, which is what Share does. In one of the birds-of-a-feather sessions, the group urged Alfresco engineering to not let the example client accidentally become a de facto Share replacement. Alfresco has a history of releasing example or demo systems that then somehow become real products. Hopefully that won't be repeated. It's okay to replace Share at some point, just do so intentionally.
I think the advice I gave last year regarding the ADF still holds, so if you are trying to figure out how the ADF affects your customization plans around Alfresco, read that post.
Not Much Else New and Exciting
If you went to BeeCon looking for big product announcements you were likely disappointed. The cloud and ADF stuff is definitely interesting and critical for Alfresco to stay relevant and so it is naturally sucking every last ounce of energy out of the engineering and product teams leaving little room for innovation in other areas.
John Newton's talk was basically about "Digital Transformation", which is what Gartner has decided to call ECM. My clients and I don't really care what Gartner wants to call what we do. We're still solving the same problems we've always solved using essentially the same approaches with newer tools. That's just how ECM–sorry, I mean Digital Transformation–is. It's a mature industry. Should we be shocked that Alfresco did not knock us over with an amazing set of new features no one had ever thought of before? He did hint at some natural learning and machine language applications. I would have loved for him to spend most or all of his talk on that.
Support Tools for Community Edition is a Hot Add-On
Here's a tip. If you are running Enterprise Edition and you have not installed Support Tools, you need to. It is really helpful for those that administer Alfresco servers. Unfortunately, it has historically been Enterprise-only. But last year, Axel Faust and a merry band of hackers participating in the 2016 Global Virtual Hack-a-Thon wrote their own version of Support Tools that works for both Community Edition and Enterprise Edition. In my mind, this could be the single most important add-on written by the community since the JavaScript Console. It's incredibly useful and it has a lot of people actively participating in its development. Definitely take a look if you haven't.
Fun at the Hack-a-thon
Speaking of the hack-a-thon, this was the first time I've been able to participate in the on-site hack-a-thon for the entire day. It was a lot of fun! My team worked on a little add-on that makes it easier to manage rules (convert local rules to shared, relocate rule sets, etc.).
Like all hack-a-thons it was a little unnerving because you feel a lot of pressure to build something minimally viable with the time and team that you have but I highly recommend the experience. Axel Faust did a great job facilitating the day-long session for the 20 or so attendees from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets.
See You Next Year?
We haven't identified a location for next year's conference yet. Before you start shouting out your favorite cities from around the globe, realize a couple of things. The Order of the Bee puts on this conference with an all-volunteer committee. The venue is free or extremely low cost. The free venue together with help from our sponsors allows us to keep the price very low, but it also requires a lot of work from the team which includes a local in-city coordinator to work with the venue, catering, audio-visual, etc. So we do want to hear suggestions, but viable suggestions will take all of that under consideration.
There is some talk of Alfresco resurrecting DevCon. They've been a wonderful and supportive sponsor of BeeCon these last two years and as long as the event continues its high signal-to-noise ratio and community inclusiveness (both in terms of the ecosystem and Community Edition, specifically) then it is probably a good thing. Until they commit, we'll assume there will be a BeeCon 2018, and I hope to see all of you there next year, wherever that may be!

Queens Boulevard merchants ask city to ease parking regulations so street becomes destination
The Daily News wrote about my efforts to enhance parking regulations on Queens Boulevard in Long Island City so that they better serve Queens residents and business owners rather than people travelling through Queens.
Sunnyside merchants are urging the city to change parking rules on Queens Blvd. so that it becomes a shopping destination instead of a thoroughfare for out-of-borough drivers.
Officials and business owners are asking the city to eliminate the current no-parking rule between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.
They also want the municipal parking lots under the 7-train tracks to be reduced from 12-hour spots to four-hour spots to discourage commuters from hogging spaces.
"There's nothing more frustrating for those of us who live in Queens to see the city's rules operate to service people who are traveling between Long Island and Manhattan and not serving the people in between," said state Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria).
Gianaris, as well as City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) and Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-Queens/Bronx), wrote to the Department of Transportation asking the agency to allow parking on Queens Blvd. after 8 a.m.
The current no-parking rules are in place to facilitate rush-hour traffic, an agency spokeswoman said.

The touch screen phase! Is it to early?
Some may call this post ironic as I am going to talk about why I feel this move to touch interfaces on Deskops is before its time while I write this on an touch enabled device.
Desktop touch solutions are not as common as mobile solutions aside from all in one devices. Currently you can expect to pay close to $600-$1000 for a good 20″ Touch enabled All-in-one, this cost is hard to justify as you could easily buy a higher resolution monitor for a fraction of the cost and upgrade an existing computer.
Yet this seems to not matter as Popular Linux distributions, Apple and even Microsoft are starting to move in this direction. Apple had ben toying with the idea of replacing OS X with IOS as a desktop OS.
Now I am not against change, in fact I welcome it. However, when an company decides to force the use of a specific type of device to get the intended user experience, one begins to question the purpose of this. Cannonical has improved Unity a great deal, but the experience with a keyboard and mouse is not as rohbust as with a touchscreen.
Only time will tell what the consumer thinks, I will try my best to stay open about it.

What does salaryman mean?
Definitions for salarymanˈsæl ə riˌmæn
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word salaryman.
An employee, a worker; now especially a Japanese white-collar worker who works long hours and has an insignificant position within the corporate hierarchy.
Salaryman refers to someone whose income is salary based; particularly those working for corporations. It has gradually become accepted in English-speaking countries as a noun for a Japanese white-collar businessman. The word can be found in many books and articles pertaining to Japanese culture. Immediately following World War II, becoming a salaryman was viewed as a gateway to a stable, middle-class lifestyle. In modern use, the term carries associations of long working hours, low prestige in the corporate hierarchy, absence of significant sources of income other than salary and karōshi—'death from overwork.' The term salaryman refers exclusively to men; for women the term career woman or, for lower prestige jobs office lady is used.

Additonal Observations Wabi-Sabi Photo based on: 'horizon' by pierreyves @ flickr Irony Not Wasabi! What Wabi-Sabi
might sound like as
a song These iemoto families would sell their information only with those they chose or those who would pay with money or favors. Why would they withhold such a "sacred truth"? What do you think this says about their spiritual path, if anything? Questions He uses the phrase "To every thing there is a season", to describe Wabi-Sabi, which is actually a verse from Ecclessiastes, a book in the bible. Do you think this was intensional? If so why would he do this? If not, maybe even more interesting... Wabi-Sabi The text says that Wabi-Sabi is "an end in itself-that can never be fully realized".
Do you think this makes their belief incomplete? That they are on a path that will never be realized? Or is it just another form of "Smallness"? The text says that both wabi-sabi and modernism abstain from decoration that is not integral to structure. The text also says that both are abstract ideals of beauty. Why do you think it is that this minimalist, "nothing but the essentials" style makes people consider it more beautiful? How does this relate to "smallness" and our class? Do you personally think simplicity adds to beauty? Wabi-Sabi says, "There is no progress" … What do you believe is meant by this? It seems counter intuitive, but do you think their is any truth to it? Wabi-Sabi embraces the truth that it cannot be explained adequately by words or by the intellect...
How come so many people refuse to believe in something that can't be explained… Could it be pride maybe? Do you think their is a difference between "knowing about" and "knowing"? What does it mean to romanticize something? What do you think we romanticize today?

We sample the fruits of Washington State University's research all the time, in the form of cherries and berries and wine, but here's an interesting chance on Thursday, Aug. 28, to see the scientists and other specialists paired with their foods.
A dozen chefs — including Seth Caswell, formerly of Stumbling Goat; Eric Donnelly of Oceanaire; Eric Hellner of Union Square Grill; Bobby Moore of Barking Frog; and Thierry Rautureau of Rover's — will prepare dishes made from Washington-produced ingredients, along with tastings of Washington wine, beer, and cider. Producers, WSU faculty, and community partners will be there to talk about their connections.
One of the items on the menu, for instance: Farmed elk, which WSU livestock educator Tip Hudson grazes on one of Puget Sound Energy's central Washington wind farms.
Cost: $50. The event will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 28, at Benaroya Hall. Tickets and more information available here.

Bush dodges the Plame issue http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030930/dctu064_1.html
There's no mention of blowing the cover of a CIA covert operative, no mention of Wilson, the issue of retaliation, or anything like that.
His repeated mantra is his opposition to "leaks of classified information." That of course is a much broader issue and, not coincidentally, a charge that the White House has previously levelled at Congress.
They're trying to move the subject on to much more comfortable ground and push the whole controversy over into the long and muddled history of leaks of classified information.
The law which seems to have been violated, of course, is a different one. And this allows the president to sidestep entirely the issue of his staffers retaliating against a critic by ruining his wife's career.
not to mention the serious threat to National Security. Cue Kevin Drum:
The fact that administration officials took it upon themselves to expose a CIA agent shows appalling judgment. They didn't know whether or not that endangered any CIA operations, which is why you just don't do this. And the fact that they did it for such base (and trivial) reasons says a lot about the kind of people they are.
But beyond that, of course the fundamental issue here is that — especially in a post-9/11 world — you don't play games with national security. Regardless of whether blowing Plame's network caused any serious problems, this is the reason the CIA is fighting back so hard on this: because they want to make sure no one ever does it again. Next time it might get a city full of people killed.
So: this affair exposes bad character and high school freshman levels of poor judgment among allegedly senior officials. But it also betrays a lack of seriousness about national security at a time when national security should be the most important thing they're thinking about.
Dean needs to stay on top of this message and these points when he appears on the morning show circuit this morning. Hopefully he'll touch on the same basic points.

About Nation-Building
Nation-Building was founded by Aziz Poonawalla in August 2002 under the name Dean Nation. Dean Nation was the very first weblog devoted to a presidential candidate, Howard Dean, and became the vanguard of the Dean netroot phenomenon, raising over $40,000 for the Dean campaign, pioneering the use of Meetup, and enjoying the attention of the campaign itself, with Joe Trippi a regular reader (and sometime commentor). Howard Dean himself even left a comment once. Dean Nation was a group weblog effort and counts among its alumni many of the progressive blogsphere's leading talent including Jerome Armstrong, Matthew Yglesias, and Ezra Klein. After the election in 2004, the blog refocused onto the theme of "purple politics", formally changing its name to Nation-Building in June 2006. The primary focus of the blog is on articulating purple-state policy at home and pragmatic liberal interventionism abroad.

North American Leg of Her 2011 World Tour Closes In Las Vegas
Kylie Earns Fifth 1 U.S. Billboard Club Single With Get Outta My Way
The tour starts Feb. 19th in Denmark and will play in arenas throughout Europe & Japan before hitting Canada, U.S. and Mexico. The Aphrodite Live 2011 tour promises to be an absolute landmark in the career of Kylie Minogue who is renowned for her groundbreaking live shows. Pre-sale tickets for the U.S. leg of the tour begin on January 14th for American Express card holders and Kylies fanbase with public on sale beginning January 22nd.
The reaction to Aphrodite has been absolutely incredible and has inspired me and my creative team to develop a new show that will take all of us on a euphoric journey of joy, excitement and glamour. I cant wait to get on the road and see all my fans in 2011, said Kylie.
In the fall of 2009 Kylie stormed America to sell out her first ever North American tour. The 6-city tour kicked off in Oakland and made stops in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and New York, wowing fans and critics alike at each stop. Entertainment Weekly called the show a two-hour post-disco fantasia of strobe, bass, and glitteran all-out spectacle. The New York Times claimed The concert (was) efficient, clobbering, expensive, generousclose to an alternate reality; high praise indeed and the 2011 show promises to be bigger and better in every way
After the run-away success of the last tour Kylie will be presenting the North American version of Aphrodite Live 2011 in more intimate rooms in the States, where possible, including a much anticipated return to the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY and the Hollywood Bowl in LA.
The North American dates are being presented by Logo TV and produced by Los Angeles-based concert promotion firm Bill Silva Presents (BSP), who also produced the 2009 North American tour.
Kylies eleventh album Aphrodite was released in July and debuted at 19 in the U.S., marking her highest US chart position since Fever in 2002. Aphrodite became Kylies fifth 1 album in the UK, hitting the top spot a full 22 years to the week since her debut album Kylie entered the chart. The album also made Kylie the first solo artist in the history of the UK charts to have a 1 album in four different decades. Around the globe Aphrodite debuted in the top 10 in thirteen different countries.
The new single Get Outta My Way recently hit the top of the US Billboard Club Chart, marking her second consecutive 1 Billboard Club single from Aphrodite following All The Lovers and her fifth career 1 club single to date. The video was recently added to the playlist at VH1. Kylie has visited the US several times since the release of Aphrodite and has performed Get Outta My Way on NBCs Americas Got Talent and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno as well as ABCs Dancing With The Stars. She also appeared on ABCs Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Kylie began the holiday season in New York, performing at the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade and The Rockefeller Tree Lighting which both aired on NBC. Get Outta My Way hit mainstream radio on November 1 and a suite of remixes are currently available on all digital download stores.
Over the course of her extraordinary 20-plus-year-career, Kylie Minogue has been a global force in pop music and is one of the worlds most successful female artists with more than 60 million albums sold worldwide, 50 hit singles including the dance-chart-toppers Cant Get You Out of My Head, Love At First Sight, Slow, and the Grammy-Award winning Come Into My World. She has received countless awards and accolades including an OBE from the Queen, eight sold-out world tours including the KylieX2008 tour which traveled to 21 countries throughout Europe, South America, Dubai, Asia, New Zealand and Australia. Minogue has released eleven studio albums, three live CDs, eight live concert DVDs, plus her Greatest Hits, Ultimate Kylie double album and Boombox The Remix Album 2000-2008. Kylie has her own successful bed linen line Kylie at Home and has released seven fragrances.

Like those of the Arctic 30 who were granted bail before him, Colin is to be released upon posting of a 2 million ruble bail ($60,000). Greenpeace International expects to pay the bail today, aiming to have the legal paperwork finalised to allow Colin's release from prison before the weekend.
Colin's wife Christine, who was today flying to Russia with the couple's daughter Madeleine, said:
"This is such wonderful news – my daughter and I are one step closer to being in the arms of my darling Col. I am so relieved that my beautiful, peaceful man will soon be out of detention. I want to thank everyone for their wonderful support during this nightmare of a time. It remains a really difficult time and it's only when all of the Arctic 30 are free to go home will we be able to properly celebrate. What I am hoping for is that Col, Maddy and I will be home in Woodbridge together by Christmas."
CEO of Greenpeace Australia Pacific David Ritter said
"Finally Colin has lost his status as the only remaining member of the Arctic 30 without bail and that is an enormous relief to all.
"We will not rest until Col and the rest of the crew no longer face these ridiculous charges for what was a peaceful attempt to hang a banner off an oil platform.
"The crew was there to raise awareness of the risk of spills to the pristine Arctic and for this they should be congratulated, not punished.
Arctic campaigner Ben Ayliffe at Greenpeace International said:
"A new chapter starts today. Enough is enough now. These 28 activists and two freelance journalists have finally been freed from prison and reunited with friends and family. But this is not over yet. They still stand accused of a crime they did not commit. They took peaceful action on behalf of us all, standing up against destructive Arctic oil drilling and the onslaught of climate change. Charging them with hooliganism is both an insult and an outrage and none of us will truly be celebrating until they've been allowed to return home and the charges against them have been dropped."
Although the formalities to withdraw the piracy charge laid against the Arctic 30 have not been completed, it has become clear during the bail hearings that the Investigative Committee is no longer planning to pursue this charge. However, the Arctic 30 are still accused of hooliganism and face a maximum sentence of seven years' imprisonment. It also remains uncertain when the non-Russian nationals can return home and they will for now remain in St Petersburg.
Russia and the Netherlands must report back by December 2 on progress in complying with a binding ruling by the International Tribunal for the law of the Sea (ITLOS) ordering Russia to release the Arctic 30 and the ship Arctic Sunrise upon the posting of a 3.6 million euro bond by the Netherlands.
Donald Rothwell, Professor of International Law at the Australian National University, said:
"Russia cannot pick and choose when it will and will not abide by the law of the sea. As a leading international citizen, it has a clear obligation to follow the Tribunal's ruling and release the Arctic Sunrise and its crew and to allow them to leave Russia. It should indicate its compliance with the Tribunal's orders as soon as possible."

|Posted - 12 June 2006 17:18
it's a good camp. the head staff really cares about making the girls have a good time. including the staff members. but ut really depends on the type of girl she is...
|Posted - 15 June 2006 18:12
Chedvah is great! And every year it get a little bit smaller so there is no need to worry about getting in! (they are desperate!)

Hey I'm just wondering where are all u chedva fans out there any loyal campers take a look on camp shiras forum how can u compare this obviously tells u something about the camp why don't they all reply?
|Posted - 02 April 2007 6:20
malks - first of all, chedvah's a much smaller camp, so percentage wise, you're not going to get much.
second, it could be that there are not many chedva girls on this site.
third, even if they are on this site, it doesn't mean they read the "other" forum.
Now, just to let you know, i went to chedvah (or rather, hedvah!) for years. (I was a staff kid...) Most of the girls that go to chedvah ome for years, and really love camp.
|Posted - 20 April 2007 3:31
yes, i heard it's extremely jappy. is that true? i'm registered to go this summer and reely scared because all my friends told me the girls are snobs! and it's my first summer going to camp so i'm reely scared alltogether.
|Posted - 20 April 2007 3:58
jappiness depends on you.
as does whether others are snobs.
|Posted - 20 April 2007 21:29
what grade will you be going into this summer? (if you're going back) we might end up in the same bunk! whada you meen that jappiness depends on you? also, how many years have you been going there already?
|Posted - 20 April 2007 23:04
nah, we're not the same age.
if you've read the rest of the site, you'll know that i'm no longer in my teens.
but i grew up in chedvah.
|Posted - 22 April 2007 2:42
so what r ya doin this summer, which camp are you going back to because that's the one that's probably better? and which camp did you switch to being that you're not going back, and is it better or worse? and how could you just leave your other camp to come up to chedva for a few shabbosim?
|Posted - 22 April 2007 4:51
i'm past the camp stage already.
Old staff members sometimes come up to visit for shabbosim...
|Posted - 23 April 2007 2:55
So can you give me more details on the camp itself? what are the activities? are they very into sports? do kids get homesick often there? is the food edible? are the bunkhouses livable? do they actually have hot water running before shabbos (my sister went to camp and said she never had any) any more info you can provide? as i said... i'm reely nervous!
|Posted - 23 April 2007 3:07
the grounds are really nice, very well kept up.
depends on the bunk you're in if they're into sports or not.
activities include: soccer, softball, tennis, basketball, nature hike, ropes course (for older bunks) ats n crafts, ceramics, workshops, swimming, rowing, machanayim... there are others, but i guess you get the picture.
some kids get homesick, some don't. depends on the girl herself. in every camp there are those who are homesick.
the food is usually great. they have a really good cook. and an awesome baker.
the bunkhouses are normal - usually no bunkbeds.
there's almost always enough hot water before shabbos - each bunkhouse has it's own boiler, and they try to space the shower activities between the bunks.
Really, just go with a positive attitde,a nd you'll have a really good time.
|Posted - 25 April 2007 22:00
us- That's so funny! You guys slept together? Don't worry about me though, even though I'm not going with anyone i know, i make friends very easily.
No kidding they don't inform you that you have to make your own bed, they aren't suppose to because most kids know how to do it at age three! And if you went through six years of camp and still can't make your own bed then i think you should seriously consider learning how.
