Back on January 4 when Bourne first met Case on the basketball court the Cardinals pounded the Canalmen (11-6, 9-5 SCC) by a score of 78-45. Bourne wasn't going to allow that to happen twice.
Tuesday night Case came to Bourne and from the opening tip-off the Canalmen went after the Cardinals taking a lead and holding it for 32 minutes and evening the score for the season with a 56-53 win.
"We played with a little more moxie this time," Coach Scott Ashworth said. "It was a collective effort, everybody played well. We just dug in. They're much bigger, but I thought we did a great job on the glass."
The game came down to the final minute with Case pulling out all the stops to catch the Canalmen. With 45 seconds on the clock they closed to within three points. A couple of free throws and a big rebound by Sharief Smith put Bourne up 55-50 with 12 seconds to play. The Cardinals then hit a 3-pointer with five seconds on the clock making it a two-point lead, but forced to foul, they sent Blade Leavenworth to the line, who went 1-for-2 with two seconds remaining. The Cardinals came down with the rebound, but time expired before they could get off a shot.
The opening quarter belonged to the Canalmen as they built a 17-6 lead on the strength of a superb pressure defense and seven rebounds from Shamere Smith. Bourne's defense forced seven Case turnovers in the first quarter. Shamere Smith and Leavenworth teamed up for some nice scoring and Patrick Brennan hit a couple of baskets in the final minute, leaving the cardinals trailing by 11 points.
In the second quarter the cardinals realized that they needed to box Shamere Smith out under the net, but Sharief filled right in hauling down four balls. Brendan Andrade hit a 3-pointer from the left side and Shamere Smith followed up on a Leavenworth shot as Bourne pulled ahead 24-12.
Sharief Smith and Josh Curry added to the scoring for the Canalmen down the stretch as Bourne pulled into the break with a 27-20 lead.
The third quarter got off to a slow start at both ends of the floor until Sharief Smith pulled up and hit a 3-pointer. Jack Canterbury followed with a 3-pointer from the top of the key off a dish from Leavenworth and Andrade set up Sharief Smith out in front for a jumper in the final minutes leaving BHS with a 39-32 advantage after three quarters.
A lay-up by Leavenworth and a 3-pointer by Curry were all the Canalmen could manage in the first four minutes of the final quarter. Curry added a couple of free throws and Canterbury stole the ball at center court and took it in for two points and a 48-40 BHS lead.
With the exception of Leavenworth's scooping up a loose ball at center court and going in for a lay-up, the Canalmen did the rest of their damage from the free-throw line. Bourne finished the night 13 for 23 from the line.
Leavenworth led all scorers with 19 points. Sharief Smith added nine points and nine rebounds, Shamere Smith had eight points and 11 rebounds and Curry had six points. As a team the Canalmen had five 3-pointers.
Canterbury fired off three 3-pointers and finished with a game leading 16 points as the Canalmen punched their ticket to the postseason with a 59-41 victory over Fairhaven on Friday.
While Canterbury worked over the Blue Devils from the outside, Leavenworth came at them from every angle. By the end of the night the senior guard had 14 points and seven rebounds. Andrade hit twice from outside the 3-point arc, finishing with 10 points.
"We came out of the gate great and left Fairhaven playing catch-up," Coach Scott Ashworth said. "Shamere (Smith) held their top scorer to two field goals. They shot just 23 percent from the floor."

#12- Voyager's Accessorize With Color
Name: Voyager
Location: Overland Park, KS
Type: 3 bedroom home
Why I use color:"I use color because it makes me happy! Currently, every wall in my home is the same color...a warm neutral khaki (not my choice, the house came this way). Until I can afford to completely redecorate, I accessorize with as much color as I can find. When I was shopping for my living room furniture, I found the graphic patterned fabric for the toss pillows before I picked out the sofa. The rest sort of ballooned as time went on. "
"The artwork in the photo "Entryway2" (above) is my handiwork, as well as the two toss pillows in the (bottom) photo "Master Bedroom" (latch-hooked out of old t-shirts!), and the 6 colorful images in the "Dining Room" (top photo). My absolute favorite color burst is my main entry hall "Entryway1" (below)."
2 Good color tips:
"Don't be afraid of it!"
"Warm and cool colors can co-exist in a room & look GREAT!"
Favorite type and brand of paint:"For walls, I prefer flat paint, for trim work, a satin finish, but not glossy. I have no brand preference, as I have not yet had the opportunity to paint my home!"
48 Comments
I love the art and the combination of colors: the artwork in the entryway is great. A clear demonstration that you can have color without painting walls.
i'm sorry, it just feels too much like corporate housing to me.
I like your bedroom. It makes me want to take a nap (that's a good thing). Let's hope you're not the only Kansas Kid representin' (I'm from Roeland Park and submitted my photos a couple days ago)
Personally, I think you did pretty good with the obstacle of the khaki walls. Love the entry way. Love it. Bedroom is on a good start, maybe some more 'thinks' with one color scattered on the furniture? Or artwork?
The dining room looks like it was planned from the getgo.
Keep having fun.
not my style - but that's not important. just not sure why someone who "has not had the opportunity" to paint their home would submit for a color contest.
will be interested in seeing what you come up with, when you do paint.
did you use my dad's home entertainment store from the early 90's as your inspiration???
I get a 90s vibe from this, and I feel like your furnishings are actually competing with the khaki walls. Why can't you paint?
Anyway, I enjoy all your bold artwork, though it's all pretty similar and I think you should mix it up a bit.
Okay, I just viewed the first three homes and I am scared to view the next one. Is it April 1st?
Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your comments, I have enjoyed reading them! With all the amazing homes out there, I am pretty surprised that my photos made it to the screen!
To answer a couple of the questions you've asked...
Janella13 - The bedroom is probably the least finished room...WAY too many blank walls yet to be filled!
EeBee - hope your photos are featured! Kansans sticking together!
Johnp - the big obstacle in painting for me is that there is no place to stop! Soft corners & 10 ft ceilings are a major challenge, but maybe someday....(plus I have a devil of a time making decisions!) I entered this contest because what you don't see in my photos is my currently empty finished basement, and it's SCREAMING for a CB2 makeover =)
Suzygirl - the dining room table is made by Elite Mfg.
mmadden - I am always on the hunt for great artwork. Any suggestions?
Have a great day & best of luck to everyone!
This is AWESOME!
I can't get over, what I call, modern folk art type furniture. I know they call it contemporary...but really?
AWESOME!!! The bedroom is the best!!!
To finish my comments...
Personally I think your dining room, bedroom and hallway are "finished". They are very sophisticated and crisp. I love the mix of contemporary with "not so contemporary". You have nerve plus a real sense of balance and line with both color and placement.
Keep working on that living room. It will come together. The direction is great. And I can tell by your taste, you will finish it with confidence. What's the hurry anyway? Continue to shop and add color and appointments as you find them. You probably have to take your time in Kansas anyway. Although I have heard some wonderful things about Kansas.
Johnp, the contest rules do not say that color has to be achieved through paint.
Voyager's entry is called "Accessorize with Color" for a reason. I like this entry because it shows an excellent alternative way of adding bold, beautiful colors to one's home. Many ATers live in rentals where painting is prohibited, so seeing how Voyager has used bold pieces of artwork to add color has inspired me.
Although the living room wall looks lonely and bare, the six large colorful squares in the second photo look terrific.
Robin, I think your house is very warm and has a great feel to it. It shows alot of you!
Is this you?
You certainly get around! Go Girl!
SAP - yep, that would be me. =)
Only difference? I didn't submit that pic to PureContemporary...they came to me.
FAR OUT! The hallway is fantastic, as is everything else.
I love all these shots except the living room, it is screaming for a colorful rug and some couch updates. I didn't say it was to my taste, but I think you make it work really well.
Anne- I know, my living room is still very much a work in progress. Limited resources here in Kansas City...BUT CB2 could fix all that!
It's nice to see someone introducing a lot of colour in ways other than just painting all the walls. I think the hallway is pretty awesome colour statement and you can take it with you if you ever move.
It sort of seems like you're working in spite of the walls, carpet and living room furniture, not with them. I do love the entry way. In some parts it looks like the colorful artwork is "overcompensating" for general plainness. Have fun as you develop/remodel/etc.
Fierce competition out there! The entries who seem to be at the top of the heap are the ones who don't necessarily need help from CB2 - they are already absolutely stunning, congratulations to you!
It's all of us "longshots" who are desperately in need of CB2's extensive options!
wow...just...wow. I get that its your own personal style, but it feels like one extended screensaver from Windows 98.
I think you need a paint job bigtime. The khaki walls really lend a 90's feel to your place when it could seem much more modern if you painted them white. My house also has walls that seem to blend on into the next rooms but if you can imagine drawing an imaginary line where the room should end then paint to that spot it will look great. 10 foot walls are not a big deal with a ladder, so I say go for it.
Has anyone noticed a strange case of morphing (someone changing their screen name online to appear as popular within an online community to appear popular) I'm thinking Robin or Voyager, JenG, ScottPiers, Snowman,
THEY ALL "mysteriously" registered on October 12, 2007 and they ONLY have one post which is "coincidentally" here. lol what a f*cking looser. Get over the 90s, your room is ugly and I so hope you don't win this contest. CHEATER!
I certainly hope that other entrants were not looked over for this one. It seems to me that there should be some sort of minimum standards. The living room alone should have disqualified the entrant. And it is obvious that "scottpiers" is the entrant's mom.
Your insults are as common as you are. I am not snowman. Infact, I hate the snow. I am a friend of CB2, and very into this contest.
You are the looser for even taking the time for such invention.
I suggest you try your conspiracy theroy somewhere else.
Carry on all you wish. This is the only time I will use this forum to achnowlege your insanity.
Oh, and Voyager....You Rock!
Edina Monsoon:
Show us your house!
Hi all-
This is my home, so I'll set the record straight...
Voyager=Robin (me)
JenG=friend of Voyager/Robin
ScottPiers=friend of Voyager/Robin (mom? LOL I don't think so!)
snowman = no clue
Wasn't the idea to send a link to friends & ask them to vote? Seems that was the message from AT when I was told my photos would be shown. This would explain why there were several people who registered on the day that my photos appeared.
DJLuckyonline - no need to be rude...(and do your research to determine who "scottpiers" is. Ever heard of Google.com?)
Edina Monsoon - I seriously doubt that I will win anything, as the contest is voted on by the readers, and if you have been looking at the other "Insta-finalist" entries, I don't have a chance in HE**.
Seems that those who will likely win are those who don't NEED the CB2 gift card, because their homes are already lovely.
Edina Monsoon - the google.com reference was intended for you, not djluckyonline.
There never was and never will be anything wrong with the '90's. And I'm not implying your rooms look dated.
My point is, you have made some important investments in nice pieces that will last through time. Don't fall into the "trend hungry" trap when it comes to the "big stuff". Sure you can use "the wall color of the decade" to make things look all trendy, but that's very temporary.
Your most important investments must last for decades. And I believe the choices you have made in this respect will stand up to time.
Edina Monsoon was an abused child.
apartmenttherapy is hosting a new contest; it's called:
THE MEAN EDINA CONTEST. Best comeback for a Edina comment wins. So far, I think EmilyG is winning.
I know some trekkers that would love this place. The art is citation worthy.
Voyager this is a contest based on merit, not who needs it the most. If that were the case, some homeless person or colormyworld would get it. CB2 is not going to reward your mediocrity.
Voyager, this is a contest about merit, not whose design is the worst and in need of CB2 the most. Frankly you should just stand by your work. Your explanation for your bad design is well unseemly. Just do better.
One thing is for sure....
Edina Monsoon will never be a winner.
"I learned about interior design,
furniture styles and colors by
attending RCCC."
— Edina Monsoon
To colormyworld:
I love that you are stalking Edina Monsoon. Run her out of Dodge! I hope you make her feel as uncomfortable as she has made others, although I doubt you can. It's hard to teach a sociopath a lesson.
Another person you should set straight is Djluckyonline. Well, I don't think you can set him straight, but at least put him in his place. He truly believes he's royalty. As we all know, royalty does business with stoic grace; which proves he is obviously in training. No grace about that cow. Ok, that was mean. But since I am not exactly petit, I can call the spade what he is.
obviously scottpiers, voyager, SAP (and maybe even more usernames) are one and the same....trying to be crafty posting that link to another site; you must think we aren't very smart....it cheapens the competition and makes you look kind of desperate. Do you and colormyworld know each other? You have a similar design aesthetic and a similar sense of morality.
Read all the posts polkadot, before you lash out. Voyager exposes us all.
Please show us your design aesthetic.
Personally I'm confused. All these accusations about cheating and morality, and poor taste....
Please remember that Voyagers' photo's were chosen after being screened by the contest committee. Not everyone who submitted photo's were chosen. That alone gives Voyager merit.
And I would think the object of the comments would be for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, not bashing. So who really are the meritless? I think it's the snipers.
I apologize.
I've been hanging around here today. I am over-posting, but what the heck....
I accept your apology, and am impressed with you for that. It doesn't affect me if you don't like Voyager's taste. Thank goodness we don't all see things the same way. I'm sure your taste is impecable.
Knowing Voyager, I am sure she accepts your apology too.
So we all agree to disagree. Now that's how it should be!
and I'm sorry for calling Djluckyonline a cow....
The artwork is too bright. The look is 90's over-stuffed contemporary. The pillows on the sofa are frightening!
All in all, it is indeed very bold. Kudos for daring to be different! I would personally try and tone it down, and maybe mix in some older furniture.
Thanks for the comments Whitespike! Funny everyone keeps mentioning "90s"...seems that could be because that's about the time when I bought the sofa & chair (which, by the way, is the most comfortable thing!).
I was drawn to the pillow fabric immediately (back in the 90's), and yeah, I have to agree that re-doing the pillows could make a world of difference. The big stuff has to stay for now...can't afford to go buy anything.
As for the bright artwork, it's what I love most about my home.
I appreciate your opinion & your suggestions!
I forgiveth thee for calling me a cow. I do not feel like royalty... hell, I don't even pretend to be a designer or have the nicest place in the world (like the person who nominated this room, seriously). IF; BIG IF, you post something publicly, wether it be music, art, blah... for A CONTEST, expect it to be dissected and personally valued. I personally might be wrong, but I'm still PERSONALLY judging it. You right now are personally judging what I'm posting, which is public and which CAN be judged, dissected and valued. Do I care if he cheated? (Even if he did, he didn't win) Do I care if someone thinks I'm too harsh? (They can always skip my post) But I REALLY REALLY care about not compromising what I think is a respectable blog just to be PC. Once you start censoring comments or anything that's not nice, pleasing and proper, you'll end up with the S**T that is HGTV. Yes, you'll have a G rated site, but you'll also end up with a mediocre clientele who REALLY thinks they're royalty and can't be uncomfortable to keep it unbiased. Once this site reaches that stage (which I really hope won't happen soon) I will stop coming here.

as promised, now i'll tell you a bit about the friendly toast in kendall square/cambridge - the spot that jane and i grabbed lunch during our quick trip to boston. obviously after lunch here, we saved room for those kick*ss cupcakes, though!
i've been to this restaurant 2-3 other times and always opt for breakfast food, since that's the best meal of the day! during my most recent visit, i ordered an egg white omelette with avocado and goat cheese. two of my favorite foods rolled into one dish? perfect. i got homemade cinnamon toast and potatoes as sides, but left the potatoes because they were a little spicy for my liking. the bread was deeelish, though!
jane was craving a grilled cheese, so she ordered from the lunch side of the menu. i'm telling you, this menu is filled with some very interesting combinations that i would never think to pair together (like the mr. haegar: "a messy melt of dill pickles, cheddar, plum tomatoes, dijon mustard and horseradish mayonnaise on grilled oatmeal bread"). everything that comes out of the kitchen always looks good, though, and they have lots of options for different appetites. there are gluten free items, vegetarian dishes, food for meat lovers and simpler things for picky palates. next time i think i'm going to go with the PUMPKIN PANCAKES!
anywho, as you can see in the pictures, the best part about this place is the decor! everything is straight out of the 50/60s and the walls are painted bright with tons to look at. sometimes it feels like sensory overload, but the advertisements, products and decor makes me feel like i'm in an episode of happy days. i love it!
the friendly toast | kendall square | 1 hampshire street | cambridge, ma | 02139
today i took a quick trip to beantown with my friend jane and it was such a nice, spur of the moment, midweek treat! jane, you see, is incredibly smart and driven (not to mention thoughtful and fun!) and we've been friends since seventh grade. after dominating the midwest, she's now back east for grad school at MIT (nerd pride, as she says) and had to run to the city to pick up keys for her summer sublet. we enjoyed lunch at the friendly toast (more on that later!), perused the bookstore and per my recommendation, stopped at kick*ss cupcakes, my favorite cupcake shop in the boston area!
these are no chocolate and vanilla, plain old cupcakes (although the chocolate and vanilla are so good, too!). see, i'm not usually a huge fan of frosting (too sweet sometimes), but this frosting is just the right amount and SO DELICIOUS. the flavors i picked out yesterday included ginger peach bellini (with a raspberry on top), the somerville special (espresso cupcake, marshmallow filling, nutella frosting), lemon meringue (lemon cupcake, lemon curd and real torched meringue on top), chocolate cupcake/vanilla frosting and vanilla cupcake/chocolate frosting, as well as the super chocolate (brownie cupcake with bittersweet chocolate and chocolate shavings).
they have so many other inventive flavors, too (i love me some s'mores cupcake!), but i didn't want to have a lifetime supply of cupcakes on my counter, because that would require me to eat. them. all. and remember what they say - treat treats as treats! this was a special treat, for sure :)
if you ever find yourself in davis square, i couldn't recommend it any more! check it out - you'll thank me later :)

What Are People's Biggest Needs & Desires?
photo by peasap
I was looking at my biggest source of inspiration today [my seven month old son] and guess what? I got inspired to write this blog post.
As many of you might know, Kamilo is my first son and I'm loving the journey. Looking at him as he slept got me thinking about how simple their lives really are. Babies don't make things complicated for themselves. Instead, they have razor sharp focus on some basic things they need and desire and that is it. As long as those basic needs are met, they are as happy as they can be.
From my point of view, here's a short list of a baby's needs and desires:
- Food
- Water
- Sleep
- Attention
- Diaper change
I might be missing one or two things on this list, but I believe this is a good list of things many people would agree on.
Unlike us grown-ups, we have many more apparent needs and desires in life. In comparison with the very few basic needs babies have, our list can be quite long and on many cases unexpected. As a matter of fact, finding out what people's burning desires are is one of the most, if not the most important thing for a marketer of their business to be aware of.
As an entrepreneur, if you are able to discover what your target market's deepest needs and desires are you have the most essential element to create a thriving and successful business. As long as you align your message with your target market's needs, you have a winner.
Knowing this, I broke out a pen and paper and started to create a list of what I believe are the most common needs of a human being. *I wrote this list in a matter of 15 minutes and I'm aware that the list can be a lot bigger than this. For that reason, I'm asking you to help me out to identify any other needs and desires that could be added to this list.
Without further ado, and in no particular order, here's the list I came up with:
- Being and feeling loved
- Financial freedom
- Sex
- Having a clear passion for something
- Being happy
- Stopping self-sabotaging
- Travel
- Having a sense of purpose
- Being physically fit
- Quitting a 9 to 5 job to work for themselves
- Living a simple life
- Being more organized and having less clutter
- Spending more quality time with family and friends
- Do something important for themselves and others
- Have a less chaotic life
- Doing more of the things you love
- Making a living out of their passions and desires
- Getting enough rest
- Have self-discipline
- Having a clear dream and/or mission in life
- Sticking to a goal/dream
- Providing more than enough for family
- Laugh more, more often
- Sense of self-fulfillment
- Sense of belonging
- Being missed by others
- Be important
- Being validated by others
- Somebody cares about us
- Work less and make more
- Making work our play
- Having a guide or a mentor
- Less debt or no debt
- Meaningful life
- Learning useful and practical information
- Working from home
- Being a positive influence in other people's lives
- Touch other people's lives
- Connecting with others in a special way
- Being able to afford the things you want
- Having a strong will
- Getting the things you want, whenever you want them
- Giving your family the best life experience they could ever have
That is just a "small" list of the things I came up with. However, I will need your help to help me expand this a bit more. In your mind, what are other needs and/or desires that should be added to this list?
Can This Help You Simplify Your Life?
photo by .pane.
At one point in my life I was overwhelmed with having too much of everything around me. Lots of clutter, debt, ideas, opportunities, new technologies, etcetera. Just the thought of all of this stuff in my life was literally paralyzing.
Fortunately, out of all the "chaos" in my life, I stumbled across an interesting concept of life that really grabbed my attention. That was it! It was the answer to my biggest frustration in life. The answer: Simplicity. Applying this concept of simplicity has made a huge difference in my life.
Living a life of simplicity is being able to focus on what's essential/important to living a happy life. The objective is to center your attention on the stuff that matters and removing or ignoring all of the other stuff that doesn't.
Those who take a complex world and simplify it are able to take faster paths to becoming ultra successful.
I realized that the simpler your life is, the more you are able to achieve.
I became fascinated by how much better my life was getting with the idea of "less is more." Adding more simplicity began to create a huge impact within the different facets of my life.
Because I'm talking about simplicity here, I'll go ahead and give you just a simple example of this concept. Email might be an essential means of communicating with people. However, this "indispensable" task could be really time consuming and overwhelming at times. After reading one of Leo Babauta's blog posts titled "The Art of Brief Emails" I decided to apply the five sentences or less principle to my emails. This task might not seem like a big deal. However, when you are growing your audience [tribe], and start becoming busier, you'll definitely need to simplify your emails as much as possible. Otherwise, this could become an extremely time consuming task.
You might already be aware of this, but whatever you are experiencing in the "outside" world is a direct reflection of what is happening in your "inside" world. I'm a true believer of this. I could see why I wasn't getting anywhere. Everything was all over the place. There were no real organized and focused patterns in my life.
Am I recommending that you to become obsessive with organization? Not really. Unless you want to be extremely organized, you don't have to obsess with it. On the other hand, I do believe that it is indispensable to create the right environment that could best influence and be conducive to clear and creative thinking. Could you really think clear and creatively in a noisy, cluttered, and unorganized environment? I can't answer this question for you. There are some people that work well in a "chaotic organization" scenario. The way I define chaotic organization is being able to find stuff that you need around an unorganized surrounding. In my case, I find it a lot more difficult to think clearly and creatively or be highly productive in this type of setting. Therefore, I'm a huge believer that you can really maximize your potential by premeditatedly creating an organized and clutter-free work/play environment.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the unnecessary noise and clutter in your life, I recommend you work on simplifying your life. You'll be amazed at how much better your life gets when you apply some simplicity into your life.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this concept. If you are already living a simple life, what major difference do you see in your life and what do you do?
You Can Call Me…The Mail Man!
If you ask me what I do, I would really have a hard time giving you a description. Instead, I'll make it easy for everyone and call myself the Mail Man. What do mail men do? They deliver! Without them, our ideas, products, services, or anything important would not ship.
The world is full of people with great ideas. Unfortunately, the majority of those great ideas are never realized [shipped]. Why is this? There are many reasons for this lack of "shipping." However, I'll go ahead and name a few of the big ones.
Fear. This is probably the biggest reason why people fail to deliver their ideas. As you are already aware, there are many different types of fears. But, the prime fear factors are:
Fear of rejection. People want a sense of belonging. When the thought of being rejected by a particular group of people is stronger than the desire to succeed, we fail to move forward with our ideas. The pain of rejection overrides the pleasure of overcoming obstacles.
Fear of being laughed at. Many people don't want to risk the possibility of being the joke of the party. The reality is, for the most part, people want to see you succeed. There are only a few people who would enjoy watching you fail. But, who cares about them? When you start becoming fearful about the possibility of others laughing at you, here's a quick quote by Dr. Seuss to keep in mind, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Fear of failure. For the most part, fear of failing at something, plays the greatest role in people's decision making process. What if your idea doesn't work? Great! You just got closer. Keep trying! If it makes you feel better, Thomas Edison "failed" too many times before he discovered the light bulb.
Fear of success. Believe it or not, this is another reason why people fail to ship their ideas. You might think that success would be a great motivator. However, for many people, the thought of being successful is just too intimidating for them. Their mindset is, "What will I do if my idea works? I won't be to handle the pressure or the responsibility that comes with it. It'll be too overwhelming for me."Good problem or bad problem.
Perfection. You can't wait for your product or service to be perfect. What today's world demands is faster implementation of ideas. Apple does not wait to deliver their products until they are "perfect." They create something that is good enough and then they listen to the customers' feedback. After they have receive enough opinions, they create an "upgraded" version. This process is repeated over and over within all successful businesses. In this case, good enough is good enough. As a matter of fact, a "good enough" delivered product will sell more than an undelivered perfect product.
Too hard. Some people just don't have it in them to move along with their ideas. The whole process of getting their idea delivered is just too "hard" or overwhelming to them. My belief is that if you are not passionate enough about your idea, the process will indeed be "harder" for you.
Lack of Initiative. A person who lacks initiative is waiting for things to happen. If you want to ship your idea, you must be willing to be proactive and get things done. Period!
No passion or desire. Again, if you have no passion or desire for what you are trying to ship, it will be harder to deliver it. Thus, you must find something that you are truly passionate about.
Therefore, it's not that people have a lack of ideas. Instead, they lack the ability to "ship" their ideas. For that reason, I consider myself the "Mail Man." I help others uncover their limiting beliefs, discover their passions, identify their expertise, create a "good enough" product, and finally…get it delivered!
This post was inspired by Seth Godin's book, Linchpin.

Why can't we see it is the bullies who need help?
These boys or girls need attention.
They feel inadequate -- like they don't quite measure up, or feel equal to the others. They feel if they can lord it over another boy or girl, it gives them a false sense of pride; that they are somebody.
I always thought it better to lose a fight than to accept defeat without trying to defend yourself. I think if someone stands up to a bully, the bully will see that he has to have another way to get along; he doesn't really have to prove he is equal.
Why can't we help the bully boys or girls? Give them the help they are crying for. They don't really want to be feared -- they want to belong.
Why can't school authorities recognize the problem and take care of it.

These biscuits are delicious!! The recipe is a keeper. I used 1 cup of un-bleached flour and 1 cup of whole wheat. They turned out perfect.
Spiced Pumpkin Biscuits

PenelopeRB Posted: 01/29/11
Very good, nice flavor. Tasty with maple syrup or maple butter.
Brittiny Posted: 11/02/09
Delicious! I had them with honey as a dessert and with veggie sausage for breakfast. I'll definitely make again.
hilty1 Posted: 12/05/08
Excellent Flavor - sweet enough from the honey, yet good spice from the pumpkin too. And it's easy to make as well - I made them during a weeknight just because I had the ingredients on hand. Make sure to have enough flour on hand when working with the dough! My oven needed an extra few mins for optimum golden browning.
cookinglightfan Posted: 11/29/08
I love this recipe! These were excellent tasting biscuits that were well received at Thanksgiving this year! Mine were flatter that the picture, but I think it was my lack of experience in working with dough (and having a pastry blending tool would have helped too). I found the dough to be very sticky to work with. A nice and unusual twist to holiday or special dinner!
dani123 Posted: 10/31/10
These were good, but beware of the cooking time. I set the timer for 14 minutes and checked on them at 12 minutes; they were already a bit overdone. I think they would taste even better had they been cooked just right!
BiteSize Posted: 10/20/10
Turned out well the second time I made them. The less stirring of the dough the better these biscuits came out. My mini biscuits came out nice and buttery with a festive fall taste. They were almost flaky layered biscuits, but not quite. :)
steponme Posted: 12/27/10
I made these x-mas morning. This dough was so sticky and I'm pretty sure my flour measurement was accurate. I had to keep adding flour so I could work with it. After all that, the biscuits taste just okay; nothing special.
andrealars Posted: 10/18/10
Excellent recipe; made beautiful batter and tasty biscuits. Outstanding with honey butter!
JessicaLuu Posted: 06/08/10
The pumpkin flavor was there but not overwhelming. I made them for my husband's coworkers and was sad to give them away. Will definitely make again.
Vaugirard12 Posted: 12/26/10
Because of all of the reviews regarding sticky dough, I put my flour mixture in a great big bowl (very, very big). I made a hole in the center of the flour to add the wet mixture then folded in the flour. Afterwards, with a bowl of extra flour on the side, I was able to knead in the bowl-- much, much easier. Instead of cutting the dough with a round cutter, I cut the 9 x 5 oblong into rectangles. They cooked up nicely and I didn't have as much of a mess to clean up! We're going to add some ham, cheese and scrambled eggs, wrap in tin foil and freeze-- to pop in the oven for a quick breakfast sandwich.
AspenGirl88 Posted: 11/02/10
I'm at a high altitude, and even with all my tricks these biscuits didn't puff up too high. However, they didn't turn out like hockey pucks either, which is a common theme among biscuits in high-altitude baking. I also used whole-wheat flour (all I had on hand) so that might explain the lack of rise, but they were still good. They had great layers and a soft, spongy texture. I brought them to work and set them out with some honey butter, and they were gone in no time flat. Yum. The pumpkin was a bit lost in this recipe, but I also used homemade pumpkin puree, which has a less-pronounced pumpkin taste than the canned variety. And I added more flour than needed - the dough was too sticky. Overall, a good recipe. I'll make them again!
Cansas Posted: 10/23/11
Love these with bacon!
bobsclock Posted: 11/03/11
These are wonderful! The light orange hue is beautiful and the taste with that hint of pumpkin is excellent. As others have mentioned, the dough was exceptionally sticky... I ended up adding more flour to get a better consistency (would estimate at least an extra 1/4 - 1/2 cup by the time I finished kneading, rolling and cutting). The biscuits were light and fluffy and baked up tall. Delicious all by themselves but also good with some maple syrup!
portland Posted: 11/27/11
ok, rises nicely. pretty biscuit and easy to make
wendyedit Posted: 12/27/11
I get requests for this recipe every time I make them. A hit with children and adults. No one can believe they are a "light" recipe, because they are so buttery and flaky. Husband even forgot to add the butter until after mixing the dough last time, and they still came out flaky.
Kazzygurl Posted: 11/08/12
The dough was also quite sticky for me and I also had to add additional flour. I typically have good success with dough; however, the biscuits did not rise or flake much at all. I love everything pumpkin, but I was disappointed with the flavor. I could taste hints of honey and pumpkin, but it seemed dull.
tinasweep Posted: 06/14/12
The first time around when measuring the honey by weight the dough was a sticky mess and the 1 3/4-inch biscuit cutter yielded 18 tiny, dense servings that did not rise in the oven. The second time I reduced honey down to about 1 3/4 tablespoon (or 36g) and cut the butter to 4 tablespoons. During the kneading phase I added an additional 1/4 cup flour to prevent sticking, then rolled the dough into 1/2-inch thickness and cut 14 biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. I also increased the oven temperature to 450-degrees and baked the biscuits for the full 14 minutes. They turned out perfect, tall and nicely browned with plenty of moist and sweet layers to pull apart. The second time was the charm.

House Tour Update: Thomas' New Bedroom
We posted Thomas' small Washington DC studio last month - House Tour: Thomas' Washingtonian Address - and Thomas sent us an update for bedroom month:
"Recently, I purchased a new Dwell duvet and shams from one of my favorite local stores called "And Beige". I already had Pottery Barn sheets set along with a couple of chocolate brown Ikea pillows. By the suggestion of a friend-the owner of "And Beige", I painted the wall behind my bed chocolate brown-same color but in matte finish. I taped it off and decided not to paint the entire wall behind the bed. I wanted to give a headboard illusion. It looks great. The bedding really pops while complimenting the couch that sits in front of the bed."...
Thomas has rearranged his furniture a lot — we had to check the original slideshow to confirm this. If you remember, the head of his bed is inside the old closet. The new matte brown "headboard" is a great addition. The combination of the uniform lighting and uniform color scheme really helps to unite the small space. And we're digging the karate chopped pillows! (we're going to add a new tag for them!)
22 Comments
I'd love to see a piece of art that incoporates reds and maybe a cerulean blue. I like the headboard effect of the recessed wall. Is it hard to make the bed? love the silver lamp, too.
Thanks for the comments.
Lisa Hunter, the picture is deceiving as the bed is not much of an eyesore. It blends in well with the medium oak wood floors. To be honest, I have considered painting it as it is just an Ikea base. I am thinking high gloss lacquered white. Suggestions?
Kimg924, thank you for your suggestion. I think I might hang a piece of my artwork above the bed. I have no trouble making the bed. There is a nice space between the sofa and bed.
This looks perfect. I love the mirrored headboard effect. Great job.
Thomas, beautiful! I also have a couple of those chocolate brown pillows from Ikea and they have lasted and still look great after two years of daily use on my couch--a great Ikea find!
I love And Beige. I also love that bedding!
The silver lamps looks great! Where are they from? Thanks!
Thank you Herringbone..my fellow Washingtonian.
& Thank you Christine...another Washingtonian.
BobbiH: I got the lamps from a local store in DC called Rkndy (Rock Candy). It is in the U street area. The store owner told me that he got them from a place in NYC.
I love it but some art over the bed would be nice too. I have a question though why do people 'bend' their cushions like Chinese fortune cookies? It looks so trite and overstyled.
Love the brown and white with the silverlamps!!
Hooray for DC!
You can find similar lamps at Crate and Barrel (or could, don't know if they still carry them), although I love to support the independent shops downtown. I just wish And Beige was a little more affordable overall.
love the bedding. and u moved the sofa! so where is the table now?
DC people email me about a meet and greet in the works for March 8th at Eastern Market.
ArabellaLondon, thank you for your suggestion relating to artwork and comments about my space. To answer your question: "why do people bend their cushions like Chinese fortune cookies?" To me, I go back and forth...sometimes I like the "karate chop" look for a hotel chic feel and then other times, I go for a more relaxed look. Check out my original post to see how I stacked the pillows. Thank you again!
Thank you Purple Area for your comments!
D in DC-great to see another Washingtonian supporting each other on AT. Thank you!
Yep, I moved the sofa right smack in the middle of the studio. In my previous arrangement, upon entering the studio, the first thing you saw was the bed. Now, you see the great couch.
The bistro table is directly across from the couch next to the entry way. It fits perfectly and does not affect the flow of the set up.
Thanks for your comments.
Am I seeing two different wall colors, or is it being reflected differently by the mirror with the natural lighting? Would you mind telling us what the paint is? It looks great.
SD913--you beat me to it! :)
Thank you bigfun!
The wall behind the bed is "chocolate" from restoration hardware in a matte finish. Instead of buying a can from Restoration, I took the color swatch to a local hardware store (I only needed a small can). I am sure the color is slightly off which I expected and wanted. The other two walls are the true Restoration Hardware "chocolate" paint. The finish has got a little more shine to it.
OMG those lamps are AMAZING!!!!! Where did you find them!?
I found those lamps at local store called RKCNDY (rock candy). The store owner got them from a place in NYC.
My two best friends (V and Char) from Atlanta were visiting and we went shopping at U Street. I had seen the lamps before but wasn't sure if they would work with my space. V and Char pushed me to get them and I am so glad that I did. We walked across the street, bought light bulbs and ran to my studio to set them up. Great memory!
Love the color scheme! I too think you should paint or stain the bed frame- I can envision either white or a dark brown, but do find the current tone jarring.
yay for the AT:DC meetup on March 8th- hope more people can join us...
thank you for your comments and suggestions. i think i'll paint the bed frame this weekend :)
I also want to see just ONE bright red in there - maybe a photo of a red chili over the bed (prob'ly bad feng shui! LOL) but something, to feed the hungry eye?
great idea papaquebec!
i already got an orange painting on the opposite wall so I might continue that theme right above the bed.

Allergies Health Center
Tips to Ease Indoor Allergies at Home
Cleaner Crisis: Most vacuums don't pick up tiny allergens. They stir them up instead. Get a vacuum with a HEPA filter. It makes all the difference.
Duct Season: Before turning on heat the first time, get ducts cleaned. Otherwise, you'll get blasted with mold and other allergens.
Moldy Oldies: Mold grows on old bread -- but also on cheese, mushrooms, dried fruits, soy sauce, sour cream, and hot dogs. Got a mold allergy?
Cleaning Crisis: House cleaning is a good thing, but cleaning agents can cause serious airway irritations. Good ventilation is key.
Humidity. Too Much or Too Little: Mold and dust mites thrive in moist environments. Keep the humidity in your house between 40% and 20% to control allergens and still breathe comfortably.
Awake With Allergies: Stuffy nose, postnasal drip -- these allergy symptoms can wreak havoc on sleep. Could allergies be causing your insomnia?
Got You Covered: Your air vents push allergens into every room. Cover bedroom vents with cheesecloth -- and replace when soiled.
In Hot Water: Check your water heater. Wash sheets and pillowcases in hot water -- at least 130 F -- to kill dust mites.
Got Ragweed Allergy? Then you're likely sensitive to bananas, cucumbers, melons, zucchini, sunflower seeds, and chamomile tea.
Your "Om" Home: Stressed? Try meditation. Stress makes allergy symptoms worse -- and meditation is a fast-acting stress reliever.
Misery Mystery: If seasonal allergies are triggering sinus infections, it's time for allergy treatment. See an allergist.
Stuffed Up? Could it be a sinus infection? Facial pain -- and thick nasal discharge for over 7 days -- are a few symptoms.
Shower Spa: Stuffed up? Take a hot shower. A steamy bathroom helps to open and thin the mucus in your sinuses.
Dry, Itchy Skin? Eczema is common in people with allergies. Cold compresses can help relieve itching. Be sure to use lotions to keep skin moist.
Rip It Up: Carpets and throw rugs collect dust, mites, and mold. Rip up wall-to-wall carpeting. Make sure small rugs are washable.
Sweet Heat: Warm compresses on a child's face can help soothe sinus pressure and pain.
Wrap It Up: In fall, indoor allergens are our biggest pests. To control bedroom dust mites, wrap your pillows, mattress, and box springs in special allergen-proof covers.
Time to Winterize: Fixing leaks around windows and doors helps cut heating bills. It also keeps allergens outside.
Keep It Closed: Keep windows closed, even if temperatures are milder. You'll keep outdoor allergens where they should be -- outdoors.
Arid Home Air: Your home heating system dries indoor air, which can lead to sinus infections. A humidifier bumps humidity to 50%.
Tricked by Treats: Food allergies can cause a serious reaction. If your child is allergic to nuts or other foods, check candy carefully.

Battle to the Un-Death: AMC Zombies vs HBO Zombies
By Mark Gale
Two popular shows with seemingly uncommon elements have stolen the hearts and minds of adults 18-49. One is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a band of survivors try to scrounge up some existence of a normal life. The other is set in a medieval, mystical world that is engaged in all-out war. What do these two shows have in common? Zombies – or at least some variation of them.
AMC's The Walking Dead and HBO's Game of Thrones were in the top five in the Nielson ratings on Easter Sunday (March 31, 2013). This was the first time the two shows had paired off against one another with The Walking Dead having its season finale up against the Season Premiere of Game of Thrones. Although The Walking Dead took the victory in the TV ratings, how would their "walkers" stack up in a fight against Game of Thrones "white walkers"?
Numbers: White Walkers. The "walkers" in the Walking Dead are clearly only a threat when either using the element of surprise or using overall numeric force. Clearly, as shown in Atlanta, there are vast numbers of them. Originally, you think these examples would lead them to winning this category. However, in the Season 2 Finale of Game of Thrones, we saw the "white walkers" were easily able to hold their own in this category as well. The tie-breaker came down to the fact that it seems the "walkers" would prefer to eat living creatures where as the "white walkers" would prefer to just kill living creatures thus turning them into more "white walkers". Therefore, in the long run, the "white walkers" numbers can grow at an exponentially greater rate.
Stealth: Walkers. The Walking Dead "walkers" seem to pop out of nowhere ALL THE TIME. Even though they groan constantly, they seem to be able to repress this when needed to jump out and eat someone. Due to the bright blue glowing eyes of a "white walker", I have to give the nod to the "walkers" (even though "white walkers have stayed hidden in the far north for thousands of years).
Agility: White Walkers. A lone "walker" from The Walking Dead is slow and seems generally unable to move. Additionally, as pointed out in the first season, they have limited thinking capability and are just moving based on impulse reactions. As shown in the Season 3 Premiere of Game of Thrones, the "white walkers" can move much quicker and can also effectively yield weapons such as swords, axes, and shields. It took a wolf the size of a horse to eventually subdue the creature. Additionally, the "white walkers" seem to move with a purpose, which makes them much more dangerous than just creature that aimlessly lumber around.
Diversity: White Walkers. As demonstrated by the lead "white walker", they are able to convert creatures into "white walkers" as well. This means that "white walkers" can have cavalry. The Walking Dead zombies thus far do not seem capable of turning animals and thus prefer just to eat them.
Survivability: White Walkers. I first must go on the general assumption that environmental conditions don't seem to drastically effect either pair of zombies. They both seem to be able to survive in a harsh environment without too much food, water, or shelter. Therefore, this assessment is based on their survivability against humans. The Walking Dead "walkers" seem to have a severe vulnerability when it comes to the neck and head region. The smallest of hits to the head seems to render them obsolete. Additionally, their lack of intelligence seems to disable them on the crudest and simplest of "booby trap" type devices. With their lack of intelligence and agility, it seems that unless they attack in great numbers or surprise someone, they are killed relatively easily. However, the "white walkers" seem much more formidable and can also utilize weapons of their own. In Season 1 of Game of Thrones, it took two men to barely subdue a newly risen "white walker" – one that wasn't even battle tested. Between this incident and the incident with the direwolf in the Season 3 premiere, it is clear that it is much harder to kill a "white walker" than it is to kill a normal "walker".
The facts don't lie. If I was leading an undead army or trying to avoid one, the "white walker" army takes the prize. The survivors of The Walking Dead had better hope there are no "white walkers" waiting for them around the Arctic Circle.

Where friends meet and friends go. Most friends part ways after college but not when it comes to these fresh faces just out of college. After studying together in a prestige college in New York City, the weather change proceeded as they packed their bags and headed to the west to enjoy the sand and the sunshine. Now, grown up and ready to hit the real world - nobody knows how much life can hit you and how much reality really does take its toll on your personal life. Whether you're a world class lawyer, struggling to get by, married or single getting ready to mingle - these group of friends like to have fun, make fun and see what life has in store for them along the way.
All students who attended college together, stay together. Just weeks after graduation, close friends who went to college together in New York City, settled to a sunnier location and headed towards California to soak up the sun and live their lives as college graduates. Living in a new city isn't always the easiest thing in the world but when you have those who you care about beside you, everything is nothing but perfect. So going from the Big Apple to the Sunshine State, culture shocks may be in store.

Hello beloved friends,
Welcome to a new year!! Thank GOD for allowing us witness yet another year. The message below is for all men.
It's funny how men claim to have dated a beautiful woman, when the same woman is happily engaged to another man. I feel sorry for men who lie and gossip and their cohorts who believe these baseless lies!! I confronted my sister's teacher who told her that his friend had alleged that he dated me once. I found that quite offensive because that is a plain lie. I wonder why men feel the need to do this. Some men, anyway!! I'm the last person anyone should do this to because I'm not controversial, i am not a celebrity, I do not hunger or thirst for fame and neither am i in love with the spotlight. I am a servant of GOD, my only passion and purpose on earth is to Know and serve GOD and to glorify HIM through my talents and love HIM in the broken-hearted so why someone would pick me out for this kind of rumour is still very puzzling to me.
Gossip is the devil's radio station, many tune in, sadly. Christians should not be listening to gossip and they should not condone gossip.
I am aware there are many people with ill intentions in the world today which is the reason why i do NOT hug men, i only shake their hands and that's it. I do not invite ANY MAN over to my house. I receive purely female visitors. I do not hang out with men at odd hours of the night. That is not me. I am not a party animal, I am an indoor person, books consume my time, mission trips too and spending time with the LORD; I have no time to mess around, I do not give the devil that chance to mess with my mind. So, if anyone (whom I've never dated) claims to be dating me or claims to have dated me before, you can be sure that's a lie. My house is strict, I wonder by what means they gained entry into my house. Only shallow-minded people would spread lies and only shallow-minded people would believe lies.
If you have nothing worthwhile to talk about when you hang out with your male buddies, other than discussing a list of women you dated in the past, then please, take your gossip elsewhere. And exclude me!! I am not that type of woman, I have no time for baseless gossip and I will not tolerate gossip and lies and slander against me.
If you meet a man or woman and they are in a relationship, engaged or married, please, LEAVE THEM ALONE!! Spreading lies that you dated them or are dating them is not only un-Christian and wrong but takes GOD's blessings away from you. Not to mention, you offend GOD with that because clearly, the priest says "What GOD has joined together, no man should put asunder" in the case of marriage and if you come between two people and break their covenant with each other, be sure that GOD is NOT HAPPY WITH YOU!!
When someone posts about Christian books and valuable Christian resources, no one is interested. They don't want to further their knowledge or improve their minds; but when a controversial story or post comes up, everyone is interested, you see them sharing, retweeting, etc on social networks. Is this what your life has become? That happy stories cannot make headlines only controversial stories? Why can't the world be interested in real issues like poverty, hunger and war and children who die of starvation? Why can't you be interested in genuine world issues and be part of the process towards ensuring a happier humanity? Why can't you support missionaries who have committed and dedicated their lives to serve the poor, leaving wealth and a comfortable life behind them as they sacrifice for the broken-hearted? It's because of the world's attitude and faulty requirements, that many men and women today are not themselves; many good men/women out there with genuine talents but because no one supports them when they are being themselves, they decide to become someone else; hence the disease of nudity, pornography, indecency, teenage pregnancies, illegal drugs, sinful sex/fornication, adultery, blasphemy, etcetera because these men/women feel that is the only thing that sells in the world today; the only thing that will bring bread to their tables. Do you have to push people this far?? People would spend money to buy magazines that feature the latest "Celeb gossip" but the same people would never donate or help a missionary who needs funds for a mission trip or even donate to poor and less-privileged. You fuel sin in the world instead of celebrating goodness!!
What even makes you think I would announce it if i were married with children? My duty is to protect my inner cycle. When GOD's blessed you and you're happy, the world is not happy for you; sadly, it is what it is, this is what the world has become. A world were out of no fault of yours, people just want to kill you and use voodoo and witch-craft to ensure you're never successful. The fact you're alive is even a problem for some people. Just like that!! They don't want to see your face. And to the people who continually want to know my marital status, you'll forever ask 'till thy Kingdom come. Focus on what I have to offer, I am here to make JESUS known and loved; if that's boring to you and you rather find my personal life interesting, then I have nothing to say. I however forgive every slander and lie, I forgive it and I have invited GOD into the situation; HE is a GOD of justice and where HE is involved, changes happen!!
They say women gossip alot but these days, men are far ahead in this sickening trend. You have 5 minutes out of your life, instead of spending it in a Godly way, you start to talk about women you've never dated; someone out there just breathed their last, they'd love to have that 5 minutes out of life that you take for granted.
As you read these words, I pray (If you're guilty) you repent and come to see the light and know that there's nothing profitable in being a gossip.
And may I remind you all that I wasn't joking when i talked of going to Court and suing anyone who tries to stain my image.
That's what legal houses are for. I will NOT be repeating myself the next time i hear lies.
JESUS Bless you all
Rita Pam

How often do you thank your doctors?
Now, doctors in Sioux City have a day to be recognized for their commitment to their patients.
Sioux City mayor, Bob Scott, proclaimed March 29 as Doctor's Day.
Mercy Medical Center also honored its Chief Medical Officer, Doctor Jerome Pierson for his hard work and sacrifice he endures to bring his healing touch to his patients.
"Well, actually, a lot of people think that you pay your doctor's bills, so that is thank you enough. But after most of the physicians I have the honor of working with will tell you that, simply a handshake or a pat on the back , or a thank you, or a hug, means the world to most physicians," said Dr. Pierson.
National Doctor's Day is March 30.

Truman, Ya know I don't know of any Zappa on DVD but there's probably some kind of video out there. I would check Zappa websites, but I do know there is some stuff on youtube you may be able to check out.
I think the reason the Aerosmith shows I saw weren't that good was because they were to messed up on drugs and alcohol during their performances. I guess they have sobered up since then explaining your liking of their later shows and I haven't seen the for ages so like you say there later shows are probably a lot better. By the looks of all the thumbs down on my earlier post there must be a lot of Aerosmith fans out there. I'm thinking a lot of them are probably to young to of seen Zappa.
FYI..First time I saw Aerosmith they opened for ZZ top.

I've listened to Mel's music for a while, and just found out that not only does she have a presence in Second Life, but that she's about the most online-y musician I've met, having a presence on Facebook as well where you can listen to her tunes via iLike and YouTube.
Do your ears a favour, and listen to this welsh chanteuse. Better yet, attend one of her gigs, buy her CD, and support real independent music.
A yummy mummy. Now if only I still had my drumkit.
Always tempting to do a Simon Bates and dedicate songs like this to exes, but you know who you are.

The Blue Monday Owner's club is surprisingly exclusive, and the good news is that thanks to some Radio and DJ work I did in the 80's (yeah baby!) I qualify.
Time to get a nice photo of me with my (still sleeved) copy.
I recently ran a Belarc scan of my computer so I could tell my friend the toasty loveliness that sits beneath my system cabinet (well I think its lovely). I noticed that I had 85 security hot fixes missing.
Wondering what Automatic Updates was doing, I fired up Microsoft Update, and it gnomically told me that the WGA had "failed to install" with a variety of bizarre errors, but the root cause turned out to be 0x80070005. Not to be deterred by what is a pretty obscure error message, I tracked this down to the permissions on the registry, and discovered the following fix (since a Google search revealed this to be a pretty widespread issue, I thought it worth documenting this, as Microsoft's website is not clear).
@echo off
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f

Windows permissions are not simple, especially not compared to the nice'n'easy -rwxr-xr-x that Unix gives. However they are powerful.
Other geeky things for the evening:
Thanks to Geek Girl for the fix.
I just came across this while doing a random Google search. Gosh, even famous people have websites that haven't been updated for years
I can't believe that Squeeze don't have a record deal. Mind you, I suppose the Beatles don't either.
In other news, I have my mobile phone successfully hooked up to my wifi network, and can catch up on the vast slew off stuff coming into my RSS Reader from the comfort of… well, anywhere. I'm now working up the courage to install the Jajah phonelet….
I'm fed up with backups. Its unarguably true that they are one of the most important linchpins in computer security – providing support for integrity, availability and (if done correctly), not compromising confidentiality. However, no one likes to do them, and without the kind services of a small army of people to backup my data for me, I know I'll forget.
Carbonite appears to provide that function. I've been using it for about a month now, to back up files on my PC, and it sits in my system tray, and copies anything changed to my own private vaultspace in their datacentre. They assure me its encrypted – not strongly, admittedly, as the keys are my email address, and a password, but in a risk reduction scenario, I'm happier having my stuff safe somewhere else, especially as the drive in the PC is showing S.M.A.R.T. failure, and I'm waiting for the new one to arrive from dabs.
I'm also a fan of Outlook (although many people aren't). I like it because its flexible, simple to use, and I'm fairly confident that with the addition of Avast antivirus and spamfighter, that not too many nasties get into my inbox. Mail to me goes through AV services at Versatilia, then Google, and then finally gets to my Outlook inbox. However, one thing I would like is to be able to check my google calendar, and have that automatically sync'd up with my Outlook calendar.
I tried RemoteCalendars, but to be frank, its got a lot of bugs in it. It crashed frequently, and stubbornly refused to talk to the Google Calendar API (which is still in beta, but still). The only success I had was wiping out my Google calendar, which then gave me an opportunity to test the restore feature on my mobile. I have found SyncMyCal, which just works, and is available in a freebie or pay-for version, for only $25, which seems well worth it for such a handy little tool.
Music is handled by Last.FM, which yesterday was tricking Coltrane jazz over my ears like warm oil. Actually, it was a lot nicer than having warm oil trickled over my ears. Please don't do that. I'm also trying the potentially quite amazing Jajah, which trunks VOIP calls between me and the other person, without requiring me to have a (yuk!) BT Softphone, SkypeIn/SkypeOut services, or other complicated animals. And yes, the pricing is equivalent to what you get from Skype, or possibly even a little better.
And finally, for when my family call me up for PC support[1], I've got a LogMeIn connection so I can jump onto her laptop without her trying to navigate Messenger to send me a remote assistance request.
[1] If you discover how to make a career in IT without people calling you asking you to fix their computers, let me know how.
