I believe in a better way...*
Things that make me excited and grateful...
Obama's speech. It made me cry. I grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and it just moved me to see this happening in our country. I feel his words and his presence was like salve on an old wound. No matter what your political orientation is you just have to take a moment to take all this in and feel good about it all.
Sam has a job with an awesome Christian man, building fences. He comes home sweaty every afternoon and just seems happier.
Whitney's cute little condo and her precious fiance and her precious heart.
Our new little puppy "Millie." She and Jett crawl up and sleep with Sam every night...pretty cute.
My new little class made up of 15 boys and 7 girls. I have one little boy, like last year, who is growing up with his Aunt because both parents are in prison. He is my little Bubba. In his precious little West Texas accent he says, "Well, give me a hug." or to a friend, "Here, let me help ya with that." He's a inspiration to me already. It seems he's made a choice and I just love him to pieces.
My new Swiffer Dust Vacuum. I love it. Is that wrong?
My best buddy gave me an amazing new bike for my birthday! I got a $50 bike from Walmart last year and it just sort of died..kinda worth the money I spent I guess. Getting this bike is right up there with my first tricycle and the 10 speed my brother surprised my sister and I with which he bought with the settlement he got from KFC because of the emphentigo. (long story haha) I was in 7th grade and it was really big and I basically had to wreck it to stop. But I was cool with my 10 speed and my faded jeans with the american flag sewed to them. (okay, I got way off the subject.)
And of course, my precious God who just keeps His hand on my head no matter where I run or what happens..I will never forget how He has comforted me.

David Moyes has decided to get rid of Manchester United assistant coaches Mike Phelan and Eric Steele.
Assistant manager Phelan and goalkeeping coach Steele have been given their marching orders by incoming boss Moyes who is planning to use his own backroom staff rather than Sir Alex Ferguson's long-serving men.
"I would like to put on record the club's thanks for everything Mike and Eric have done," Moyes said in a statement released by United.
"I will be looking to appoint my own members of coaching staff at some point in the future.
"However, I'd like to take this opportunity to give them both our best wishes for their future careers."
Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward added: "I'd like to thank Eric and Mick for the enormous contributions they have made to the success of Manchester United in their time here.
"Their professionalism, ability and diligence have been a credit to them. They are top-class football men and everyone here wishes them well for long and successful careers in the game."

NEW YORK — Sometimes, the devil is in the deals.
Americans shopped the winter clearance racks in January, resulting in strong sales during the month for retailers. But spending is expected to slow as the deals dry up, and as Americans begin to digest rising gas prices and a 2 percent payroll tax hike that started in January.
Click here to find the best deals and coupons in Savannah from our Savvy Shopper.
Noelle Perillo, 34, was certainly lured in by deals last month – she spent $100 on discounted holiday ornaments, home items and clothes for her toddler son – but she also said she may cut back going forward.
"I have what I need, and I am kind of shopped out. I'm set for now," said Perillo, a freelance public relations consultant who lives in Silver Spring, Md. "When I hear things like gas prices spiking, that's a concern."
Overall, 20 retailers reported on Thursday that revenue at stores opened at least a year – an indicator of a store's health – rose an average of 5.1 percent, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. That's above the trade group's 3 percent estimate. It also marks the highest reading since last August, when the figure was up 6 percent.
A group representing just about 13 percent of the $2.4 trillion U.S. retail industry report monthly revenue. Still, the data offer a snapshot of consumer spending, which has been heavily influenced by discounts during the economic downturn.
Retailers had already discounted heavily during the holiday season to get people to buy. January, which typically is the time when stores have clearance sales on winter merchandise to make room for spring items, caused them to slash prices even more.
But once the clearance goods disappeared last month, so did shoppers. Analysts say the absence of big discounts – coupled with the higher payroll tax and gas prices that have risen for the past 20 days – caused sales to taper off in the last week or so of the month.
Overall, January was good for most retailers, though.
Macy's, which runs Bloomingdale's and Macy's stores, said revenue rose 11.7 percent in January, nearly doubling the 6.4 percent increase analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected. And the retailer raised its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings forecast due to its strong performance in January.
Gap Inc., the owner of the Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic chains that has struggled to regain its relevance, said its January revenue rose 8 percent on strength in its North American stores. That's above the increase of 4 percent Wall Street expected.
Meanwhile, Target Corp., a discounter that sells everything from clothes to home goods to groceries, reported a solid 3.1 percent increase in revenue, helped by strong sales of clearance items. That beat the 1.7 percent estimate from Wall Street.
Despite the strong showing, Gregg Steinhafel, Target's CEO, said its customers "continue to shop with discipline in the face of a slow economic recovery and new pressures, including recent payroll tax increases."
As a result, Steinhafel said Target remains "focused on providing unbeatable value combined with a superior guest experience in both our stores and digital channels."
Going forward, analysts say that retailers may have a tough time luring in shoppers.
"Consumers were shopping and hunting for those clearance items," said Michael Niemira, chief economist at the ICSC, the trade group. "Despite the strong reading, January may be one of the highest points of the year."

Anniversaries of events always make good news items, so it's no surprise to see so many of them in the news! I love writing about them, because there's always a story to be found in them. June 2014 saw a 25th anniversary which hardly got any coverage though- Tiananmen Square…
June 4th 1989, 25 years ago. What happened that day had a huge impact back then, and it's had a huge impact in the 25 years since, as it helped to shape the direction of what is now one of the biggest economies in the world, China.
I didn't see much coverage of the 25th anniversary here, and there wouldn't have been any coverage at all in China. You won't get anywhere trying to discuss it there, and in fact there is only ever a slight acknowledgement that anything even happened, and even that is only delivered under pressure.
On June 4th 2014, the square was blocked off, journalists couldn't get within a mile, and the generally held name of the event gives an idea as to what happened. The event is generally called the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Back in 1989 there had been a build up of public protest, initially student led, calling for greater political freedom and transparency, greater freedom of speech, greater freedoms all round.
The government had been ok to let these protests happen at first, but gradually begane to realise that not only was the big protest population on the square not going to go away, it was multiplying in other cities and bringing worldwide attention on the way the communist state was run.
The government built up a force of troops around the square, and on June 4th they opened fire.
The death toll varies, from 'a few', to hundreds, to thousands, but what is clear is that the government cracked down, and cracked down hard. Any government members who had been supportive of greater freedoms were purged, and the hard-line position of the government was reinstated.
What happened to 'Tank Man?'
No-one really knows. Some people say he went into hiding, some people say he was taken down an alley and shot in the head. His image went around the world though, and the thoughts that image generated were not something any government could do anything about, and they knew change had to happen.
Being a single party state though, they could do it how they wanted, so freedoms were increased, but only when it suited them, capitalist business was promoted, but only when it suited them. Any hard-line processes that suited them, well they were kept.
This transformed the Chinese economy, with infra structure and business growth at unprecedented levels anywhere in the world, shooting China into the top 4 largest economies in the world.
Business follows money, and the vast amounts of money on offer with such a massive market meant that people were prepared to overlook human rights issues in favour of the profit potential, on the basis that 'if we don't go there, someone else will and we'll be left behind, so we have no choice.'
Keeping on the good side of such a huge economy, despite any apparent human rights failings could well be behind the lack of coverage of the 25th anniversary of Tiananmen Square.
That doesn't mean we can't think about it ourselves, does it? So, think of Tiananmen 25 years ago. Think of the opportunities you have right now that millions of people around the world still do *not* have, and maybe think of Tank Man. He probably knew what he was doing would see him dead, but he did it anyway – what does the image say to you..?
Do let me know what you think, and feel free to share, like, tweet etc if you enjoyed the article – thanks!

Health & happiness,

The third annual Safety First Cape Breton event gave the two students in the college's occupational health and safety program a refresher of what they've been learning all year long.
"It just sort of nails it back down in your brain and you can remember it and hopefully apply it," said Peters, who is finishing up his program with a five-week work term at Lynk Electric Ltd.
The symposium, which offered keynote speeches, workshops and group discussion, could be useful for anyone in any field of work, Peters said.
"Maybe there should also be an event just for the public in a larger venue where they can come in and look at the booths the trades have set up here," he said.
"Safety is just not for the workplace, safety is for the home, especially coming up on summer. Summer safety is very important whether it's the chemicals you use in your pool or when using your gas mower."
Participants received information on mental health in the workplace, respect on the job, introduction of new workers, the aging workforce and pattern absenteeism from employees.
"Anything you can learn about safety gives you a helping hand," said MacDonald, who is finishing a work term at the Department of Natural Resources in Coxheath.
He was impressed there were a number of people at Friday's symposium who didn't have a direct responsibility for safety in their organizations.
"It was interesting to see how they see safety and how it ties into what they do."
The conference marks the end of weeklong activities in Cape Breton to celebrate North American Occupational Safety and Health Week.
This year's symposium focused on the theme, 'Making Safety a Habit.'
Jan Chappel, based in Hamilton, Ont., is the senior technical specialist of the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety.
Her presentation focused on the new employee — whether young or old — who may be unaware of the hazards on a new job.
"They may not have the confidence. They don't know what the hazards are, so how can you ask these questions if you don't know what to ask questions about?" she stated.
Chappel said vulnerable workers tend to work in a non-union environment, under short-term contracts or low pay.
Those are the people who are unlikely to have any say in determining their work conditions, she said.
"They may even be new to the province or new to working and they don't understand all the other parts that fall into place like employment standards, labour relations, that sort of stuff."
Ways to tackle safety on the job, Chappel said, includes a job hazard analysis, job design and review of a workstation layout.
There's been discussion at the symposium over the past few years to build on what has been learned and continue with smaller events during the year, Cape Breton Partnership president and CEO Keith MacDonald said.
He said there's interest to build a network of safety professionals to "stay connected" during the year.
"There are opportunities to connect and learn from experts over the year," he said.
It could also mean using a newsletter to provide regular updates to the group if there's enough interest, MacDonald added.

According to WordPress's handy dashboard counter, the words you're now reading constitute my 500th blog post. So what better time to temporarily drop the royal we and think aloud regarding what this whole blogging deal has taught us—and, perhaps more importantly, why we keep at it despite the ludicrously imbalanced labor-to-reward ratio.
When I launched Microkhan in early February, I did so for a few reasons—some of them craven, some of them a tad more honorable. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a self-promotional aspect to all of this—I'd seen how blogging had helped my pal Ta-Nehisi become a household name, and thus sustain our shared quixotic writing dream that much better. Plus, of course, I had a paperback to promote, not to mention various magazine features. Given the way this writing business is heading, I thought it best to take some initiative in terms of, uh, building the brand that is you.
But there were creative reasons for building Microkhan, too—I needed an outlet for the zillion trifling brainstorms that fill my hard drive. Plus I had this notion that blogging about my admittedly esoteric interests might help me unearth stories worthy of deeper treatments—perhaps a post here or there might someday germinate into an article, book, or other long-term project. And, lastly, by forcing myself to post every day, I'd inject some fresh discipline into my working life. I'm the sort who functions best when my plate is more than a little overflowing; if I don't have enough projects going at any one time, my work simply expands to fill the time allotted.
So, how has the reality matched the expectations?
For ease of reading, I'll just break out the three main lessons I've learned while Microkhaning these past seven months. Like virtually everything else on this site, they are arranged in absolutely no particular order:
The Perils of Deliberate Obscurity
I probably didn't quite foresee how much of a challenge I created for myself when I pledged to avoid The Tubes' most popular fodder. I rather foolishly assumed that by focusing on that which was largely ignored in the blogosphere, I'd quickly draw a flood of info-starved readers. Let's just say that, while I'm perfectly content with Microkhan's rapid growth, I'd probably draw a heckuva lot more traffic by posting Daily Show clips in lieu of scenes from 1970s Indonesian dance comedies. In other words, Microkhan is on the narrowest tip of the Long Tail, and that can occasionally be a lonely place to reside.
A Different Lobe
I wasn't a total blogging virgin before starting Microkhan, having done guest stints and freewheeling columns for the likes of Gizmodo and Gridskipper. But blogging daily for months on end was a whole 'nother creative challenge, especially since that writing had to be done alongside myriad other projects. Given the time crunch, I've had to train myself not to edit one lick—I'm at the point now that I only preview my posts to make sure all tags are closed, then I post those suckers. The results can be messy, but I'm learning not to let that chaos ruin my day. I'm a detail-oriented perfectionist at heart, so that's been difficult. And on occasion, I still sulk and beat myself up for posting a total clunker. (Case in point.) On the whole, though, I'm getting a lot better at forgiving myself for blunders. Blogging is a public process, and in that sense quite different than all my other writing gigs (in which the proverbial sausage-making takes place behind closed doors.) And I'm finally getting comfortable with that fact.
I Love It When a Plan Comes Together
An efficiency expert would probably urge me to drop Microkhan ASAP, given that the rewards might appear meager to an outsider. It's not like I've ever made a lick of money off this endeavor, despite having poured hundreds of hours into the project. And I will admit that shifting gears from blogging to whatever else is on my plate can be a serious mental challenge—to the point that I've often wondered whether this blog is doing more creative harm than good. But in those moments of doubt, I remember all the pluses, starting with the connections I've made with readers from Alaska to Florida. More importantly, Microkhan has afforded me the opportunity to turn my twin affections for information and writing into a quasi-artistic pursuit. Sure, it's bloody self-important to refer to posts about poultry judging and kabaddi as "art." But I have no other real talents aside from wielding language to my advantage, so I hope you'll bear with my minor pretension. The remixing of information may not be an art on par with, say, the remixing of classic Bollywood tracks, but it's what I can offer the world. And on those occasions when I'm able to pull it off in just the right manner, it can be damn satisfying—a minor accomplishment buzz that reminds me of the joy I felt in writing Now the Hell Will Start. And so I keep on blogging in search of that creative high…
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming, at least for the next 499 posts. Thanks to all who've swung by this space over the past seven months. Hope you'll keep making Microkhan a regular destination.

One of the defining characteristics of the Unitarian Universalist approach to religion is the reliance on reason. Unitarians rejected belief in the Christian Trinity by analyzing their Bibles. Universalists rejected eternal damnation doing the same thing. Renaissance Humanism captivated us. Seeing that the rational truth discovered by science was more reliable than the records and rituals of scriptural revelation, we chose and continue to choose scientific truth to guide our lives.
Unitarian Universalists are also the product of the Protestant Reformation. We have overthrown the authority of the priest to interpret the divine for us. We have ripped the holy book out of his hands and assumed the authority to interpret and understand it for ourselves. Even if we delegate this interpretation to clergy, we still hold close our own authority to accept or reject what we hear.
The rebellion of the mind against authoritarian abuse of power, political or religious, has deep historical grounding. Hierarchical power without accountability does seem to corrupt leaders again and again. Individual freedom and empowerment is a valuable counter balance to exploitation.
This social and political freedom comes at a significant religious cost. The central religious task is to give ourselves to that which is greater than us. To love God and neighbor completely, to submerge in the task at hand, to create a powerful expression of beauty, to care for the young, old and infirm, all these require us to give generously of our time, talent and wealth. And the mind rebels against such generosity.
The first and foremost job of our minds is to help us survive and make replicas of our DNA called children. The religious task is quite different. The religious task is about recognizing our unity and encouraging that unity to survive. Our spiritual task is to experience that unity and serve it. In developing one's spirituality, one is constantly struggling with the tension between what is good for me and what is good for the wholeness of which I am a part.
I experience this tension as a "flow of being." I've been doing Buddhist Insight meditation for over 20 years. I sit each morning on a low bench and watch the arising and passing of my breath. Thoughts arise and pass, sensations arise and pass, feelings come and go, as I gently and methodically bring my mind back to the present moment using my breath as a touchstone of awareness.
This morning I was sitting with an awareness of the subtle ways I resist allowing little twinges of pain to be part of my meditation. Opening and embracing EVERYTHING that arises and gently releasing with kindness the moment that now is passing away and fearlessly welcoming the next moment arising.
I find my mind in constant rebellion against just being with the flow of being. My mind wants to fix this vertebra over here and adjust my posture ever so slightly over there, just to help the meditation along. The urge to modify the moment is constant. I find it ever so hard to just trust the process and flow into the next moment without hoeing the soil, pulling the weeds and watering the plants I'm trying to grow. It is ever so hard to have faith in the unfolding of the present moment just as it is. I keep trying because when I have stumbled on this experience of consciousness, the results have been … well … "awakening" is how the Buddha described it.
We Unitarian Universalists are hardly unique religiously as we face this problem. All religious traditions suffer from the meddling minds of its adherents. I think we have a little bit of an advantage though (and a reason I'm a UU minister and not a Buddhist teacher). We are seeing more and more clearly that we cannot find the wholeness and peace we seek through mind alone. Mind can build a great fence around our spiritual garden and keep all kinds of danger out. But our minds can't get us to our spiritual destination.
Only our hearts can grow the kind of love that will satisfy our spiritual longing for wholeness and peace.

Loran Smith and I have a lot in common. We both love the inimitable Dan Magill, for instance. We both married way, way up. We both know what it is like to battle cancer and we both have great appreciation for the folks at M.D. Anderson who helped Loran and are helping me wage that battle. Both of us have talked ourselves out of speeding tickets in Porterdale. And we are both standing on our heads with anticipation over the coming college football season.
Of course that's about where the comparisons stop, because he is the world-famous Loran Smith and I am the linthead from Newton County who a few people in the North Georgia Piedmont read and listen to each week.
I have always told Deborah Dietzler, the Texas A&M Aggie who has served as executive director of alumni relations at the University of Georgia since 1997, that she has the best job in the country. She travels all over this nation and the world promoting the University of Georgia. After further consideration, I have determined that Deb has only the second-best job in the country because Loran gets to travel all over the world, too - being Loran Smith.
I caught up with Loran this week, by phone, and we had a nice conversation about his past, present and future. Naturally he was on the run. He was leaving Athens when we began our conversation and I think he was on I-20, headed for the Atlanta airport when we said our goodbyes. I don't think he got pulled over for speeding while we talked, but he did fade out around Walnut Grove for a few minutes so I can't say for sure.
Loran matriculated from Wrightsville in 1956. He came on a track scholarship and ran the low hurdles and the mile relay, but his best event was always the mile run.
"I couldn't outrun many, but I could outlast a few," he told me with a chuckle.
He obviously outlasted more than a few, because he set a record in the mile that lasted as long as the old track did. He tried to convince me that his track coach, Forrest "Spec" Towns - who won a gold medal in the 110-meter low hurdles in front of Adolph Hitler in 1936 - was a warm and caring man below his infamous gruff exterior, but I still have my doubts.
Loran met his bride of 60 years, the former Myrna Warren of the Newton County Warrens, when they were both undergrads at UGA. That is why Loran found himself being pursued by the Porterdale police late one Saturday night - or early one Sunday morning. He was racing back to Athens for a Sunday morning job. Even then he obviously had a glib tongue, because he got away with a warning.
I got stopped by the Porterdale police multiple times, because I lived there and had a heavy foot. I never got a ticket because all the cops knew my parents and knew we couldn't afford to pay a fine.
After graduating from Georgia, Loran served his nation in the Coast Guard. Upon discharge he returned to Athens, thanks to Coach Magill, and worked in the sports information department. One of his jobs was to edit the football program. The other was to do whatever Coach told him to do. He worked in real estate in Atlanta for a few years and considered taking administrative jobs with the Dallas Cowboys and the Sugar Bowl and even Florida State University - before Bobby Bowden arrived - but decided his heart was and always would be in Athens. He came back to the Classic City as the Dooley era was beginning and has made himself an integral part of Georgia athletics ever since. He began working with the radio broadcast and looking for ways to expand the operation. He and Coach Dooley started the first post-game locker room show anywhere and Loran was responsible for expanding the pre-game tailgate show.
In 1974, Loran became a permanent part of Bulldog lore when he became the sideline reporter during the game. There is not a Southern football fan alive who doesn't know the key phrase Larry Munson, legendary voice immortal of the Georgia Bulldogs, used when he threw the open mic down to the field: "Whatta ya got, Loran?"
Loran admitted that he still hears that phrase wherever he goes. Hahira, Salt Lake City, Montana - where Loran goes, that phrase goes. "I was at the British Open this summer," he laughed, "and heard one of the ESPN guys holler 'Whatta ya got, Loran,' as I was leaving the press box. I just laughed and waved."
About the coming season? "We are undefeated right now," this with a chuckle, "but of course so is everyone else. If the line of scrimmage jells and one or two of those running backs rises to the top - it could be a special year."
Indeed, and Loran Smith, the man who ties the past to the present for Georgia football, is pretty special himself.

1. The petrol version is powered by a 1.2 litre 4-cylinder engine which churns out 79 bhp, while the diesel variant draws its juice from a 1.4 litre engine capable of producing 67 bhp. The dual tone paint scheme is available only on top variants of Liva which consists of V and VX trims.
2. The dual-tone Toyota Etios Liva comes in 3 colour options of Ultramarine Blue, Vermilion Red and Super White.
3. The exterior of the new Etios Liva comes with some new additions such as a bold front grille with black finish and new chrome bordered fog lamps bezels. It sports electrically foldable dual tone ORVMs with integrated blinkers and diamond-cut 14-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels. The rear end gets a sporty look and there's also a roof integrated spoiler.
4. The dashboard of the new vehicle now sports piano black finishing on the instrument panel which is fitted with an optitron combimeter. Inside, you get comfortable 3D textured seat fabric and adjustable front headrest.
5. Safety features are the most important factor people consider while buying any vehicle, and new Etios Liva gets 4-star NCAP rating after being tested in 2016.

One of the coolest opportunities that is out there for most people is travel hacking. This "hobby" gives ordinary people who are far from trust fund babies like Donald Trump's or Bill Clinton's kids the chance to get out and see the world without spending a fortune. I had no idea that it even existed until I was well into adulthood, but I soon learned that it could really benefit me.
My Idea of a Great Vacation as a Kid
When I was a youngster, I really enjoyed going to amusement parks. My family went to Kings Island in Ohio just about every year in my youth. I really liked it and pushed to go back. My youth group at church would go. My family would go. Some years, we'd go to Kings Island and Carowinds in North Carolina if we were lucky. My parents got bored with the whole "let's go back to Kings Island" spiel, but it's what I was comfortable with. I went on a few trips to church camp and three trips in high school, one of which took me to Arizona, that I really enjoyed, too. Flying across the world never really crossed my mind at this point.
My Introduction to the World of Travel Hacking
After I proposed to my now wife, I set toward planning a honeymoon. I'd never been outside the US at this point, and we decided upon a week in Cancun. This would be my very first time ever on a plane. It would also be pretty much the last vacation that I'd pay full price for. About this time, a new accountant started working at my office. This guy told me he'd been to Hawaii. FOR FREE. I pretty much thought this was an impossibility, but I asked all about how he got to a tropical paradise that I figured I'd never visit because of the cost.
Enter Marriott Rewards
He then proceeded to tell me about the Marriott Rewards program. Needless to say, I wanted to learn more. He told me about the vacation package that you could get through Marriott's loyalty program. Enough points would give you a free week at a Marriott hotel and frequent flyer miles to get you there. Wow. How can one get these here Marriott Rewards points? I wondered.
He then told me about the Marriott Rewards credit card that gave you points every time you stayed in a hotel owned by Marriott and a point for every other dollar you spent. Beside that, if you got approved for the card and made a single purchase, you'd get a bonus of 10,000 free points. This bonus is laughably small compared to what Marriott offers today, but back in 2003, it sounded like a good idea.
My First Travel Card
I talked to the new wife about this idea. She was cool with it, so I ditched my old AT & T Universal card that acted as a calling card and a credit card (I'd gotten it before the days of anyone and everyone having a cell phone. People actually used pay phones and hotel phones in those olden days). I applied for the Marriott Rewards card. I excitedly used it as soon as it came in to get the bonus points.
Not long after, we decided that perhaps my wife could qualify too. We saw an ad for 20,000 bonus points after the first purchase, plus a FREE NIGHT. We thought this was a great deal. Again, this bonus is pretty laughable compared to what's available today. The newer Marriott Rewards Premier card now offers 80,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 in three months. It also offers a free night to offset each renewal of the annual fee.
Off to Hawaii Via Marriott Rewards
It took more than two years of spending on the card, the two bonuses, and staying at Marriott hotels when out of town to build up nearly enough to pay for a week at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Honolulu. Back in those days, seven nights at what was then a category 5 hotel took 110,000 points. I was just short and bought a few thousand points to make it happen.
My account didn't have enough to get the package deal with the airline miles, but I did get tickets for $448 from my small-town airport in the Eastern US. I also had a $50 coupon for a United flight from an Entertainment book that I bought to get buy-one-get-one deals at restaurants. This brought the final cost for $398 for each ticket to Honolulu. Needless to say, I thought this was a big score. I got to Hawaii for about $1,200 total and got to stay in a nice resort.
Travel Hacking Since
In those early days, I rarely got new credit cards, thinking it was a good idea to avoid having too many. I'd heard that too many would hurt your credit score. If you're responsible with them, they really don't. It took me several years to get enough miles and points to get my next trip, which landed me at the Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino, another Marriott property in a tropical paradise.
Since the trip to Aruba, I've been more aggressive with the travel rewards cards. I've earned bonuses from the new Chase Sapphire Reserve, as well as the older, but still good, Chase Sapphire Preferred, and the Chase Freedom. An upgrade with a new Marriott Rewards Premier card also earned me a hefty bonus. I've been able to take highly discounted trips to Los Angeles/Disneyland, Paris, and Mexico over the past few years. Additionally, I've got another trip to Europe planned with points and miles taking care of most of the cost.
Bottom Line on Travel Hacking
If you're responsible with your finances, and you can pay off all of your credit card bills every month to avoid interest costs, you too can travel the world. Signing up for one of the cards listed above can be a good start that can help you achieve some dreams you might have thought outside your ability to achieve. Travel hacking has changed over the past couple of years, and it's more difficult to score as many bonus points. However, the opportunities that remain are definitely worth taking advantage of.

text: Johannesburg - Defender John Pantsil says Ghana's inexperience ultimately cost them after crashing out of the 2013 AFCON in the semi-finals against Burkina Faso.According to the Football411.com website, Ghana took the lead through Mubarak Wakaso in the 13th minute and it seemed the Black Stars would coast in to the final to face Nigeria. The Stallions though fought back and equalised on the hour mark through Aristide Bance to force the game in to extra-time and eventually a penalty shoot-out where the Burkinabe triumphed 3-2. Ghana had 10 players in their 23-man squad that took part in last year's AFCON, so despite their relative inexperience made it through the group stages after coming out of a group containing Mali, DR Congo and Niger. The Black Stars beat Cape Verde 2-0 in the quarter-final to set-up a date with Burkina Faso who were regarded as underdogs for this match. Nevertheless, the Burkinabe held on to defeat the four-time AFCON winners and enter their first-ever final. "I don't think it was a bad day. We played so well and we should know that this Black Stars team we came with young talented players and 11 players who have not been on this platform before," Panstil said in a post-match interview. "At least to get them to this level, we came so far and I don't think the boys disgraced themselves. They did very well. I believe that in the next few years, they will grow up in football and get much experience and prove to the whole world they deserve to be in the national team." Ghana faces Mali on Saturday in the AFCON bronze medal match, a replay of the 2012 match that Mali won 1-0.

Well, I hope you're not under the weather today. But, sometimes we all have those days, right? Here is card I made for the Stripe + Polka Dot Color Trends Challenge. I designed a get well card to come the dark black with a bit of perky using the yellow/red.
I stamped the polka dots onto rustic cream cardstock using Harvest Gold ink. I die cut the pinking circle, which is a sun from Heart-2-Heart #6 from Harvest Gold felt. I embellished the sun with vintage trim and striped ribbon.
Next, I stamped the tree and sentiment. I added a bit of washi tape, vintage trim, and ribbon treatment at the bottom portion of the card.
A super easy card design that will strive to lift someone's spirits. I hope you get some time to play around with these fun colors as well.
Want to be creative and make something as well? It's easy! Just have fun and be inspired by the inspirational graphic above. Need more inspiration? Take a look at what the other designers have been up to!Charlene Austin Cristina Kowalczyk Mariana Grigsby Sarah Martina Tina Fussell

Im worried Online pre-req classes will lower my chances?
I need to take several pre-reqs online. Will taking distance learning classes lower my chances of getting into the nursing program I want to go to? Tarrant County College, they have a fierce competition!!! Im worried they may take points off??? I will be taking my science classes on campus. Helppp please!Jun 15, '12Online classes are generally not considered "distance" learning. Most colleges have online classes now. I did all but two of my pre-reqs in an online format, and as a matter of fact my Pharmacology class in nursing school was online as well.Jun 15, '12In my experience, there is no notation on your transcript as to whether a particular class was taken online or in-person. It simply shows the term (e.g., Spring, 2011), department, course number, course name, number of units, and grade.Jun 15, '12With web-cams, it would be difficult to say if a class was really "distance" or not! After all, face to face is about as close as you can get. Joking aside, whether a class is "paper" or electronic or on campus, I think is a moot point these days?Jun 15, '12I took all of my pre-reqs online and got into TCC's program. They don't take that into consideration at all.Jun 15, '12Usually a school will say flat out whether they accept online classes or not. If they accept them, they accept them.Jun 15, '12I'd recommend you ask that school specifically. Different schools have different approaches to this issue, and it is better to ask the School directly.Jun 15, '12I've done many a online course and there's no annotation on my transcript that they were taken online, so I don't know how anyone would know.Jun 15, '12All of my non-science pre-reqs have been online. Actually, some of my nursing program's classes are online. Intro to Health Assessment is hybrid with bi-weekly labs on campus. To be honest, I think I would have stabbed myself in the eye with a fork if I had to sit through English, history and psychology lectures. See how many of these classes are offered online at the school you're applying to. If they offer it online, they'll accept it (provided they would accept that transfer credit from the school you're taking it from anyway).Jun 15, '12I have been accepted to two very competitive ADN schools and I took all but my sciences online. For algebra, I took it online, but we had to go to class for the final exam. Everything else, computer, psych's, english classes were all exclusively online. I'm actually taking a psych class online right nowJun 15, '12Since many schools offer online courses, it would be unwise to eliminate a candidate because they took advantage of this method of getting required courses completed. Besides, most schools do not distinguish these courses from regular on-campus courses on transcripts. You can allay your concerns by speaking to individuals at the schools with knowledge of the nursing program admissions process. And even then, you have to take into consideration that what is done, is done. Good luck.Jun 15, '12I took my A&PI, A&PII, Statistics, English comp I & II, and Philosophy all on line. Most were for my ADN but a few were pre reqs for my BSN bridge program. I just started the RN program at my local CC. When I went to my CC to enroll for classes they told me that they could sign me up for online classes so I wouldn't have to make the drive to school. I loved it! And with 4 kids and a husband it really helped. There is nothing wrong with online classes most of the people in my program have taken at least one online class.

CharlottePetit's Favorite Personal Quote:It's sad when people you know become people you knew, when you can walk right past someone like they were never a big part your life, how you used to be able to talk for hours and how now you can barely even look at them. But everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.

TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) – A 25-year-old Topeka man is facing carjacking charges after a witness followed him for several miles until officers could make an arrest.
Shawnee County Sheriff's deputies were called to a carjacking Wednesday in the Pauline shopping district. The victim told police when she went into a store, a man pointed a gun at a teenager in her car. The passenger got out of the car and the man drove off.
A witness followed the car into Osage County, updating emergency dispatchers along the way. An Osage County Sheriff's deputy followed the car into Burlingame, where the suspect stopped and ran into a house.
He eventually surrendered without incident and is being held in the Shawnee County jail.

With Rick Santorum's poll numbers on the rise, it seems like there might be a meaningful race between him and Romney for the Republican nomination. Perhaps feeling confident after his February 7 sweep of the primaries in Missouri, Colorado and Minnesota, Santorum may be going all in. Grist just did a great roundup of Santorum's increasingly radical talk on the environment:
Note that Santorum doesn't take the common GOP route of arguing that the science is inconclusive, or even just denying that climate change is actually happening. He takes the extremeInhofe-ian view that the whole issue is fabricated for nefarious purposes. Science journalist Chris Mooney unpacks the implications: "In using the word 'hoax,' Santorum is apparently endorsing theglobal warming conspiracy theory … that a shady international group of scientists, NGOs, and leftwingers (especially European ones) are out to hamstring economies to advance a red, or at least pink, agenda of global governance. To do this, they need a covert issue to scare everyone into the kinds of changes they demand — hence the bugaboo of global warming."
Herman Cain probably set the best example for the other candidates. His poll numbers were soaring with his preposterous proposal for a flat 9% tax rate for individuals and corporations. Things only fell apart for him when it came out he didn't treat some of his former employees as evenly as proposed to do with the rest of us.
All of this could be really dark and depressing as the candidates compete for how low they can go. But things just did take a positive turn. President Obama's approval rating just went above 50% for the first time in 8 months. The economy has picked up and jobs are being created so that has certainly helped his numbers. But I imagine some of this crazy talk from his potential opponents has him looking better and better in many people's eyes.

NusaBali reports that an Australian Patrick Costle (33) repeatedly struck taxi driver Safrudin with a tire iron on Saturday, March 8, 2014.
The altercation reportedly took place in Jimbaran after Costle refused to pay an agreed cab fare demanded by Safrudin.
Costle reportedly hailed Safrudin's taxi at 10:00 pm on the date of the incident seeking a ride to Jalan Uluwatu I in Jimbaran. The driver and his passenger allegedly agreed a fixed fee for the trip instead of using the taxi's fare meter.
According to the driver, Costle refused the agreed fare upon arriving at his destination. An argument ensued in which Costle reportedly shoved Safrudin who took up the cab's tire iron to strike Costle. Costle reportedly wrested the tire iron from he driver and used it to beat Safrudin.
As a result, Safarudin suffered cuts and abrasions to his forehead, nose and ear.
Safrudin subsequently reported the incident to the police who immediately apprehended Costle.
According to the head of the criminal division of the Kuta police precinct Wahyu Setyo, after a meeting between the two men was held at the police station both peacefully agreed to not pursue the case before the police or the courts.

The Use of Coaxial Cables
RG 59 is among the most used types of cable. Majority of the RF signal and video transmission makes use of RG 59 cables for transmission signals. It is a single conductor wire which is used with a copper shield. This shield is connected to make a ground connection in order to protect the radiation of the electrical signal. You will also find a single centre conductor in this coax cable which is surrounded by an insulator that helps to prevent the loss of power. RG 59 coax cables have got wide applications from cable TV to VCR. Until recently, it was used almost in every TV to antenna connection. You will also find this coax cable being used in majority of the security cameras as the video cable that connects the camera to the system. This type of cabling is highly effective in case of security cameras, as it helps to transmits quality videos over large distances. In majority of the cases this cable is terminating with a BNC type or F type connector. The BNC connectors are used in security cameras and related transmissions, whereas the F Type is used for cable TV or connecting with antenna. In some cables, you will find the inner conductor made up of the copper plated iron wire.
Nowadays almost all the video and audio antenna makes use of coax cables. With thousands of designs and size, you may face a tough time in finding the right one for you. Apart from budget, you need to decide on the amount of acceptable loss that you can bear in these cables. Always go for a branded cable which is certified by some authority.
If you want a high performance communication, then you have to use the most sophisticated technology. Coaxial cables or coax cables play a vital role in providing reliable and high performance cabling systems. HDTV, VSAT, SATV etc are something which requires high quality coax cable. For them, the coax cables that are usually used are RG 6, RG 59 and RG 11. These cables have an impedance of around 5 ohms. No matter whatever type of coaxial cables you are using, it will have a certain amount of resistance and dielectric loss. These losses may vary depending upon the diameter of the conductor apart from few other things. You will find RG 59 coax cable almost everywhere.
It also finds if used in baseband video frequencies, like the composite video. In some cases, it is used for the purpose of broadcasting frequencies, but the losses are too high when it is used for longer distance, thus it's better to use the RG 11 and RG 6 cables.
The design of the coaxial cable will affect the power handling, cost, size, attenuation, flexibility as well as the performance of the cable. The cables, in which the inner conductor is silver plated, have got a much better performance.

No matter how much money, status, professional success, or other types of external security one may have, very few people experience true joy and personal freedom. Byron Katie knows this reality too well. In the midst of a "normal and successful" life, Katie became increasingly depressed, and over a ten-year period sank further into rage and despair.
Then, one morning in 1986, out of the blue, she had a sudden, profound insight into how the mind works. As a result, a bedridden, suicidal woman became filled with love for everything life brings. Katie developed a simple yet powerful method of inquiry, called The Work, that helped make this transformation practical.
In this program, you will learn how to use The Work for yourself. You'll discover that, contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once you have investigated it, the thought lets go of you. The Work's four powerful questions and turnaround (which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe) have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world.
In Your Inner Awakening Byron Katie will teach you this revolutionary process so that you can use it to question and undo any stressful thought that keeps you from experiencing mental clarity. Eventually you may find, as so many others have, that peace and joy flow into every area of your life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

©2005 Byron Katie (P)2005 Nightingale Conant
"Byron Katie's Work acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through illusions and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being." (Eckhart Tolle)
"Eye Opening"
Lovely hearing the author reading her own words. Such compassion in her tone brings the words to life.
"well worth a read or listen"
lot of wisdom insight and humour ...this way of seeing things aids self compassion and enables deeper understanding of how mislead we are.
"Simple but effective for reducing anxiety & stress"
I've heard many thought leaders and spiritual figures mention the Work of Byron Katie before but I've never read any of her books or come across her work, which is in essence 4 questions.
The 4 questions allow us to question our hurtful/stressful thoughts, reduce anxiety and stress in our lives, give us clarity and happiness and to let us live in a state of love for ourselves and others.
Although it's just 4 questions, don't let the simplification put you off, it's pretty powerful stuff. You will need to be open minded as there are many times our egos would reject these principles to protect the validity of our thoughts and feelings.
There are a quite a few different examples throughout the book which show how to apply the 'work' in practical situations.
The audio book is well read and logically laid out. I suppose I wish it was a little bit longer but I'm sure that Katie would say it's exactly the right length!
I'll definitely listen to/read more of her work.
"Thought provoking"
As a self improvement Coach and being recommended this I was looking forward to it.
Must admit he first 45mins or so I got lost/lost interest but then it picked up/ think the live worked helped and really gave some great insights for working with people and their thoughts
"Living in my mind is stressful"
I have read several books by Katie and this is the one that I can say"I get it!". Now I just examine my thoughts the way Katie teaches and I have no (real) problems/stress.
Writing this quickly so I can start listening to it again! Katie, a life student, shares her truth and love.
Magnificent, beautiful, simple, gentle, kind, compassionate, insightful, inspiring, encouraging, and life-changing..... Thank you, Byron Katie!
"life changing"
I will listen to this over and over the rest of my days and continue to do The Work always.
"Life changing"
I just listened to this for the second time. I discovered The Work about 14 months ago, and credit it with setting the foundation for some wonderful changes I've made in my life. I realized how my thoughts were causing me so much pain. The question, "who would you be without this thought?" is so powerful. I am more loving to myself and everyone in my life. I have peace and clarity, and I am so grateful for Byron Katie!
"Excellent information, simple, direct and relevent"
I have read and listened to many self-help books over the past 20+ years and this one seems to hit many issues at their core. I have recommended it to many and have given it to each of my children as well as my mother. The author seems genuine, comes from a place of having been through a lot and tells us what got her to realize the origin her pain. I like how the information is arranged, moving between the author's reflective moments and live audience interaction, direction and guidance. The author has kind caring, speaking voice. I loved it, a great reminder of what I believe to be the truth and how it affects our daily lives.
Opened my mind to acceptance & I will be purchasing more of her work. I recommend this novel to anyone interested
"Life changing!"
This program is wonderful! I recommend it to everyone on this planet. If you let it, it will change your life for the better.
"Short story long"
This book describes something called "the work" as a way to make peace with ourselves and others. In actuality the work is simple enough but the speaker goes on and on about examples of it. The book could be far shorter if these repetitions were taken out.
"Changed my life "
The work has changed my life. I have slowly stated seeing progress within myself and I'm to a point now where I am open to feedback from others. Just today I was able to ask my 10 year old what he thought about me and anything that I could improve! This is a must read if you are like me and constantly fighting yourself with your thoughts!!!!!

cross-posted on StemCellAssays.com
I wrote a lot about cancer stem cells in the last two years. You can track some of my posts here and here. It is very exciting and evolving field combining stem cell and cancer research. Currently, most professionals from both fields, are convinced in validity of cancer stem cell concept. But still, there are a lot of controversies about biology and clinical significance of cancer stem cells. The biggest unresolved question: "How can we target them therapeutically?" Today, I'd like to ask this question and give you opportunity to express your opinion.
I created a poll – What is the most promising method for targeting cancer stem cells? Please vote and express your opinion in comments. Because I'm asking to pick "the most promising method", you can choose only one answer. Because some of you would think between two equal approaches, I included "combination of 2 methods" option.
I'd like to ask you to spread the word about this poll and help us to get more votes. Please share this poll via email or post it on your blog, tweeter, LinkedIn and any other social networking sites. I'd love to see your opinion in comments, especially for the last 3 options. Please tell us why do you think so.

text: Many of the outstanding musical compositions that exist today were created by women, and most of these talented women never received the recognition they deserved during their lifetimes. The earliest documented woman composer is Greek lyric poetess Sappho, who was born around 612 BC, but many historians consider German nun Hildegard of Bingen from the 12th century as the first female composer. Over the years, many other women also showed extraordinary musical gifts, and they had created memorable musical pieces that are highly celebrated today. These women include Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn, Louise Farrenc, Marianne Martinez, Vitezslava Kapralova, the Boulanger sisters, Cecile Chaminade, Dame Ethel Smyth, Amy Cheney Beach, Galina Ustvolskaya, and many others.

There are those of us with wombs that have never cradled tiny humans.
And those of us with arms aching from carrying toddlers all day long.
There are those of us with homes now all silent and empty.
And those of us with houses that strain to hear the faintest whispers of quiet amidst laughter and tantrums and squeals and tears.
And there's not one of us working, stay-at-home, homeschooling, ragamuffin, motherly, talented, young, old, timid, bold… women that doesn't need the filthy to be made precious in an act of redemption.
And though we may never be *super* – it's okay when we realize our desperate need for a Super-God; the One who forgives, heals and redeems!
So, we speak it right out loud – so little hearts will listen, and this weak and sinful heart of a mama finally hears.
Words penned out hundreds of years before our Savior walked this earth.
How God forgives all our sins,
And heals all our diseases.
How He redeems our lives from the deepest darkest pit,
And calls us His children as He crowns us with love and compassion.
And it may look differently than we think it should, and we may not see what we want to this side of heaven – but we can trust in the One who cradles us in His never-ending love.
And so we bring out paper hearts and band-aids and play money and candy to try to get a glimpse of these life-giving truths.
A white heart representing how God completely forgives all our sins.
A band-aid to show how He heals us.
Money (candy for the little ones, as chocolate is much more motivating than dollar bills for them) to show how Christ paid the ransom price – redeeming us from utter destruction.
And a crown of hearts to show how God crowns us, surrounds us, encircles us with His steadfast love and compassion.
And little hearts open easily to this love that is God.
And I can see us all following their lead – from filthy to beautifully loved.
Kids {Families} Memorizing Psalm 103 – "who forgives all your sins, and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion." Psalm 103:3-4

Turmeric is an herb that is ubiquitous with many Indian dishes. It is a powerful plant, holding many medicinal properties. Curcumin is a well studied medicinally active compound found in turmeric. Curcumin inhibits leukotriene formation, acting as a powerful anti-inflammatory. Curcumin also acts as an antioxidant, anti-cancer compound, stimulates bile, and can help to protect the liver.
To increase the absorption curcumin, it's best to consume it with fat because it is a fat soluble compound. Black pepper contains a compound called piperine that will also increase the absorption of curcumin. This recipe is a delicious way to consume turmeric and will also help to maximize the absorption of the active compounds of turmeric.
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper (increases absorption)
Directions 1. Put all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth 2. Pour into a saucepan and warm but don't allow to boil. Will take approximately 3-5 minutes. Note: As with everything on this website, this blog post is not meant to diagnose or treat any conditions. This is for informational purposes only. As with many herbal remedies, there can be allergies and contraindications with certain conditions and medications that make them unsafe for everyone to take. Before taking any herbs or supplements, it's best to consult with your naturopathic doctor or medical doctor.

here come the rattling trees
Hi everyone.I went on Thursday, I thoroughly enjoyed it. As usual Sean has come up with a bunch of lovely melodies. I liked the story too, which has similarities with 'Say hi to the rivers and the mountains'.
I was at the last show on Saturday. I can see the comparison with 'Say Hi...' but thought this was far superior. Coe's dialogues can be pretty cringe inducing. Sean decided to go with all monologues and the writing was fantastic throughout. Must have been a pleasure for the actors to recite. Also, I was surprised by the range of subjects/voices covered. I didn't expect a tale about getting lost while jogging in Canberra! The songs punctuate the stories within each monologue. A couple of potentials for the HL canon, inc. the title song (which was repeated as the final encore), The rest were OK. But it's not the music I took away really, more a new respect for Sean the author. :)
Thanks warren and zebedee! So, zebedee, if I understand correctly, Sean wrote the monologues in addition to the songs/music? Also, were the Llamas playing "background" instrumental music during the monologues? Thx again.
1. Yes2. Yes - well sort of. Each narrative begins without music, then about half way through a musical motif begins which is then repeated and developed. It was the same motif for each narrative but it developed in different ways in later narratives, e.g. different instrumentation used.Hope that helps.

Gillian Martin Mehers offers these reflections on the recent Social Business Summit in London. Gillian, CEC Specialty Group Leader, Learning and Leadership, represented CEC at the event about social media.
I was delighted to attend the recent Social Business Summit in London on behalf of CEC and to participate in this wonderfully intimate setting (with perhaps 150 participants) to discuss how the new social media environment will affect this sector (and others). The day started with a couple of excellent and provocative speakers, in particular JP Rangaswami, Managing Director of BT Design at British Telecom (and who Tweets under Jobsworth, and is well worth following).
I posted a blog about one of the interesting topics of discussion, which was the Facebook-ization of the workplace. I was interested in the notion that using social media can actually save you time (rather than waste it), due to the current revolution in Search that we are witnessing right now, and the implications that has for social and professional networks (like CEC). See my blog post titled "Search Revolution: Social Media Can Save You Time (with a little help from your friends).
An interesting real-life event supported this notion just prior to the Summit when Facebook surpassed Google in the USA in terms of traffic (weekly market share) for the first time the week of 13 March 2010, supporting the notion that people will start to use their social networks as sources and filters for information rather than Google, which simply gives too much information.
Here are a few more reflections from this interesting event:
1. Social Business, did not mean Socially Responsible Business – in fact, I was one of very few from the not-for-profit sector, and from the environmental community, although there was quite a bit of interest. Most participants were from consulting companies, the IT sector and other businesses. There was an small and interesting group from local government in the UK that have put together over 1,000 topical communities of practice and have some great learning from this experience.
2. In addition to the change in search, the keynote talked about how to design institutions to lower transaction costs and make them more effective. This included three points (nicely summarized in a blog post by one of the participants. The three points were to:
- Design our institutions (or networks I would say) for sharing. (Our keynote speaker gave a great metaphor for this citing the difference between Indian food and British food – Indian food is designed for sharing, so if another few people turn up at dinner time, that poses no problems. However British food is not, and a few extra people can create awkward situations; it isn't designed for sharing.)
- Design for scale through participation (this is a neat systems concept – and not unlike what CEC is working to do – a few people should be able to administer the contributions of many – many thousands (they talked at the Summit about millions), and for it to work everyone needs to bring something. They mentioned that Facebook has about 1000 staff members, and over 400 million users, and that it was designed that way. Thought-provoking for CEC.)
- Design for synchronous and asynchronous, thanks to new technology, things that used to be synchronous (like voice communication) can now be asynchronous, and those that used to be asynchronous in the past (like knowing what people are doing) can now be synchronous (people spoke much about creating Facebook like environments in workplaces, more in next point).
3. It was interesting to hear how many companies now are creating internal "Facebook"-like online environments for their teams – this was seen to be essential for social businesses, and helped put people's tacit knowledge out there for anyone to see and tap into, making horizontal knowledge networks stronger and self-perpetuating (rather than centralized KM services where you have to constantly pull information from people to upload). In this case, every employee (or network member) has their own "wall" where they can answer the question "What are you doing right now", and share other content. This information is archived online so that it becomes a useful on-demand knowledge resource, not to mention a way for people to share, exchange and become focal points for certain kinds of knowledge within their organizations.
4. Twitter was rampant as a backchannel with excellent quality inputs coming in from the many people live Tweeting. It was also interesting to meet these people in person. Participating and "talking" back and forth during the conference greatly enhanced the learning experience. I live tweeted using the conference hash tag (#sbs2010) and if you are on Twitter and are interested in this field, it is worth going back to the tag to see who was Tweeting during the event, and what they were saying. They undoubtedly picked up the most important ideas and sound bytes, and it is still there for anyone to see.
5. A little known fact about using Twitter - apparently it takes 700-800 "followers" on Twitter to be able to ask questions and always get an answer!
