In popular opinion hearing voices in your head is a bad thing. But it actually is the basis of our ability to think! As it turns out we can only think when we collaborate. Thinking is an internal collaboration.
As young children acquire language they tend to verbalise most if not all their actions. This is a key part of how they learn.
Naturally they learn to reason, to think, by verbalising the process. A child learning with her mother to solve geometric puzzles reasons through dialogue. "Where does this boat piece go?" "Look at the shape." "Where can this pointy bit go?"
The thinking here is actually happening outside, between mother and child. As the child learns, this dialogue starts to be a conversation with self. They hold down both parts of the reasoning conversation. Then they pitch up at school and the teacher says "Sssshhh…." so they start to have the thinking conversation with themself and silently.
All reasoning is a dialogue. It's just we learn to do it internally and silently. What does this mean for problems that canot be reasoned or thought about individually? Problems where an organisation needs to think about a problem.
Current practice for complex strategy documents requiring multi disciplinary input is that everyone drafts their bit in isolation. The document is then consolidated and sent to all authors for review. This review is a conversation but of the most simplistic kind. So it is not very deep organisational thinking.
Better organisational thinking means richer conversation; more iterations. This is what we really mean when we say collaboration.
To achieve this requires an online authoring environment. An environment that allows authors to own a section but for others to have visibility and to provide comment in real time. An environment that allows an organisation to think deeply.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This episode nearly killed me. Just such beautiful and beautifully worded truth about life and relationships and the awkward anxiety of it all?! Ugh! Science.
Cecil and Carlos. Seriously what the hell are they. Those damnable Nightvale writers make it sound so easy to write LGBT representation into genre stories and, oh, I don't know, maybe it's easier in radio! But for someone working in animation, their relationship is just this far off beacon of light (above the Arby's) of what could be (if only those darn StrexCorp execs would stop trying to kill us).

|Previous College:
|UC Irvine (2012)
|Assistant Coach (1st Season)
Former UC Irvine volunteer assistant coach Carlos Aguilar has been hired as an assistant coach at Cal State Fullerton, Titans' head coach George Kuntz announced on April 15.
Aguilar recently completed his third season at UC Irvine as a volunteer assistant, helping guide the Anteaters to last season's NCAA Sweet 16 before dropping a 1-0 contest to Maryland. The Anteaters finished the season 15-5-3 overall, which was the second-highest win total in program history. Over his three seasons as an assistant coach, the Anteaters compiled a record of 36-25-5 (.583).
Before coaching at UC Irvine, Aguilar played professionally in the USSF D-2 with the Rochester Rhinos in 2010. He made his professional debut on April 10, 2010 in Rochester's season-opening match against Miami FC.
His soccer success also extends to his player career, as he played two years with UC Irvine from 2008-09. He earned Big West Conference Tournament MVP honors in 2009, along with First Team All-Big West status. During his time as an Anteater, he was named to the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week once and College Soccer News Team of the Week twice.
Aguilar came to UCI from Taft College where he played from 2006-07. Each year, he was named Central Valley College First Team All-Conference, and the team went to the Junior College state championship match, winning the title in 2007.
Aguilar played prep soccer at Palmdale High School. He lead his school to the CIF semifinal match his senior season. That year, he also earned Third Team All-CIF and First Team All-Golden Valley honors.

Doctor Who will get the royal seal of approval on Wednesday when the BBC's Cardiff studios are visited by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, reports the Sun. Not only will they meet the Doctor and his assistant, played by Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, they will also come face to face with the Daleks (catchphrase: "Abdicate! Abdicate!") and peek inside the Tardis. Conversely, Buckingham Palace looks bigger on the outside than it is on the inside.

A present collective capturing the resilient history and future of the Somali spirit
Places I've been! Yay! But, just an FYI Laas Geel is in Somaliland. Even if Somaliland is not technically a country, the people who live there do not consider themselves part of Somalia. It is a de facto sovereign state. Laas Geel is such a source of pride for the country that it would be considered very offensive to them to hear someone say Laas Geel is located anywhere other than in Somaliland.
(via theolduvaigorge)"
Thank you for the commentary.
I will clarify way Laas Geel is a source of pride for both Somaliand and Somalia.
There are many semi-autonomous sovereign states in Somalia. Some more autonomous than others to varying degrees. They include the more popular Puntland, Somaliland, Galmudug and many lesser known regions. Despite differences in their strong clan-based political affiliations, they are all a part of Somalia. The international community at large in addition to most Somalis consider Somaliland a territory of Somalia. The is why you won't find Somaliland on any modern-day map of countries.
An analogy to consider:
If local Texans wanted to be annexed from America and considered it to be very offensive to hear Texas mentioned as a US state would that make Texas its own country? I don't think so. Logic shows Texas is part of America just like Somaliland is part of Somalia.
Herodotus, the Greek historian reports Macrobians as having mastered longevity, with the average Macrobian living until the age of 120. They were said to be the "tallest and handsomest of all men"
The Macrobians were part of an expanse of related peoples, kinsmen of the Ancient Egyptians, that inhabited an area stretching from East Africa northward into Egypt and North Africa. At the same time, they were reported as being physically distinct from the general inhabitants of the region below the Sahara
Macrobia was also noted for its gold, which was so plentiful that the Macrobians shackled their prisoners in golden chains.

August 25th, 2010
12:06 am
i think you're right Harm, i just got through watching my dvr'd AGT… Anna & Patryck, Grimm, Poppyc@@k, and…. i dunno, maybe arcattack or antonio restivo (both because of their LV-ish lavish set and performance. I think that PP was absolutely INSPIRED to do Queen tonight. That was entertaining and VERY VERY well done, imho. And i just absolutely adore Michael Grimm's bluesy soulful voice, even WITH strep! (sorry Howie–wear a freaking mask if you're so germaphobic!)
August 25th, 2010
12:08 am
wait we get 5 acts going through to the top 10 …. hmmmm maybe both Arc and Antonio will make it. Hard to say. But it's the end for the lovely inspiring sisters, for the funky kids (loved howie's comment that it wont be so cute when they're 36), sorry to see the rock wall dancers go but tonight WAS boring… and i could do a LIFEtime without that weirdo. And unfortunately the other male singer, what's his name? he just didn't do it, especially after seeing Michael Grimm's performance.

Harm, I think Rodney won't have any trouble blogging from Destin. Mexico was what made it difficult the last time….and, I imagine, Mrs Rodney insisting that American Idol NOT interfere with their honeymoon.
I hope Paula does well but I'm not sure this will work. So many dance shows out there.

Bringing back Joke Wednesday (with a special shout-out to Skanktasia):
Guy walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Boy, I didn't expect to see you today, after last night—you were really bummed out."
And the guy says, "I was so bummed out that I went home and looked in my medicine cabinet. I had a big bottle of a thousand aspirins in there, and I decided to kill myself by taking them all at once."
The bartender says, "So what happened?"
And the guy says, "Well, after the first two, I didn't feel so bad."

August 25th, 2010

I like the forst joke…
Morning, all!
Still can't get exited about Paula's dance show. How's it going to be different from all the other dance shows out there?
btw, that ad to the right, "Find your graduating class" is vey rritating with the flipping faces and blinking years. Seriously, it would drive some people to have seizures.
August 25th, 2010
8:40 am
Obviously, I like the FIRST joke. Got distracted by darned flipping faces.
August 25th, 2010
8:43 am
Way to go Highlander!! Loved the second one!
August 25th, 2010
8:45 am
The first one wasn't so bad… but was expecting a punch line like
Bartender says, "So what happened?"
And the guy says, "I got my own reality show!"
Glad my boycott is over!
August 25th, 2010
8:58 am
Good Morning Everybody.
Today's Quote: "Most everything improves with age and practice."
I will agree with some of you on the dance show with Paula that it may not fair as well as she wants due to the other dance shows. Having said that, people do like her and the show just may be a great hit. I most likely will watch it for the first couple of weeks because of her,
Highlander, I like the second joke better. I think we should bring back joke Wednesday. We had some really good laughs when we had it before. So everyone let's see your jokes and make someone laugh!!!!!!

Not really a joke, just more of a funny quote, but this one is my new favorite diet quote:

A guy goes to the local church to apply for a job as bell ringer. The odd thing is, he has no arms.
The priest asks him, "How do you plan on ringing the bell?" The guy says, take me up there and I'll show you.
They climb the stairs, and when they get to the belfry, the guy says, "Watch this." He then runs over to the bell and slams into the bell – face first.
The priest is so impressed, he hires the guy on the spot.
A few months later, the Pope comes for a visit. The guy is sooooo excited, he decides to give it everything he has.
He runs… full speed… into the bell.
As a loud "GONNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG" fills the air… the guy – who hit the bell too hard… is dazed. He stumbles backward… and falls out of the tower… plummeting to ground below.
The assembled crowd makes way for the Pope as he comes forward to minister to the man. He administers the Last Rites, then turns to the priest and says "Who was this man?"
The priest looks at the lifeless body before him and says…
"I can't remember his name… but his face sure rings a bell!"

Two guys are disagreeing about the pronunciation of "Hawaii." A stranger walks by and one calls out to him, "Hey, sir, how do you pronounce "Hawaii" — is it Hava-ii or Hawa-ii?"
"Hava-ii" the man replies.
"Hey, thanks, Buddy," says the argument winner.
"You're velcome."

A guy gets hire at a bank… and does great in his job. The branch manager is impressed with his ability to handle numbers.
He asks, "Where did you learn how to do all this?"
The guy answers back "Yale"
"Yale! That's impressive replies the manager. What's your name?"

Good morning. linny, in case you peek in today, I agree about Michael Grimm and Prince Poppyc0ck. Love, love, love that Prince! Could he have been any greater in that Queen bit last night? He will rock Vegas if he wins. Poor Taylor, he really did not compare well to Michael Grimm, and unless he has a great fan base, he will be gone this time.
Paula? Love her! Another dance show? Not so much.

Thank God! YES!! We have yet another dance show!!

it'll be interesting to see whose show gets better ratings… Randy Jackson presents or Paula Abdul's.

I gotta admit… the other night (during my boycott) I had the weirdest dream. What JT was doing in my parent's basement pole dancing nekkid I'll NEVER know.

I think we are making Rodney's case for another F-girl thread.
August 25th, 2010

What's the name of her show? "Drugged out former bedmates of Magic Johnson".
August 25th, 2010
4:03 pm
Harriett- I'm sure another F-person thread is in the offing. She reportedly is saying her and her married man are NOT together. This after staging the photo-op reunion. Plus, you know Rodney is going to review the "Behind the Music" deal.
August 25th, 2010

If there's another Fantsleazia thread in the offing, it's time to re-stock the undisclosed, super secret, highly secure but oh so comfy underground bunker!

Hey, Rickster, why's Jasmine Trias pole dancing? I thought she was doing great singing in Hawaii and the Philippines?
August 25th, 2010

Who is Jasmine Trias? (must be an idol contestant.)
August 25th, 2010
4:23 pm
Rickster- I would like to join the bunker party during the next " F-ing thread" , but not if you're gonna be dreaming about a nekkid, pole-dancing JT!! No way, dude. Not for me!
August 25th, 2010
4:28 pm
Jasmine Trias= 3rd place, season 3 behind F-person and Diana DeGarmo. But, you already knew that, right???

May I add that Jasmine Trias couldn't SING!!!!!

Here's an example of the kind of performance that got Jasmine to 3rd place. Huh?
August 25th, 2010

Didn't Jasmine gett as far as she did because all of Hawaii was brainwashed into voting for her? Plus she had a flower in her hair and an irritating smile?

i have to admit i was stunned that neither ArcAttack NOR Antonio Restivas went through — hubby said that, when the judges were told they had to pick at the end, they should have unanimously said "we pick Restivas" … i love both connor and christina and ali, but i do not think either of the heart-wrenching backstory acts should be in the finale. Nice for the girls, but they're NOT the quality that should make it that far. and either of the other acts would be great in vegas.
OH! and speaking of great in vegas, WTG Recycled Percussion!!!!! I loved them when they were on, and they have SO improved their showmenship!!! (yes, i know, usually showMANship, but since it's a group of them, not one, i decided to try it that way). I enjoyed Fallon also, but ended up ff'ing through the same-ol-same-ol female singer BS guest. bleh.
and sweet that Christina Young had a reunion with her estranged Dad, maybe that's the whole reason she made it through — her song choice last night (poker face lady gagme>? BOOOO!) was not only unfortunate, it was obviously killer. for her. and she would have done so well with some rockout power vocals! (think benetar, jett, slick. and a few others) oh well.
oh wait…american idol…. well…ex-AI…. i think Randy Jackson presents (Dance Crew) is quite good when i remember to look at MTV or whatever it's on; cannot imagine that paula will have anything unique and exciting to add to the dance competition world, except that it will be, according to the story,. not just solo dancers, but pairs, groups, etc, and any genre. sounds like it will be a little bit like an expanded version of the CarryAnne Inarbour (sp?) versus Bruno dance wars of a couple of years ago. meh. we'll see.

Good Morning Everybody.
Today's Quote: "Always treat family like friends and friends like family."
I knew without a doubt that Prince Poppyc0ck and Grimes was going through. Was surprised that Antonio didn't and the sisters did. Glad that Taylor didn't make it, as I thought his kite flying act was really boring.
August 26th, 2010
8:45 am
Morning, all.
As far as AGT goes… very surprised that Antonio didn't make it. Not surprised that the Prince and Michael Grimm did. (Personally, I thought Michael was the best song, vocally, of the night. The Prince, however, got my vote for best show of the night.)
I wasn't shocked that Arcattack didn't make it. Maybe what Piers & Howie said was true, their act didn't translate well to TV. They never fired me up.
And Christina is one of the most beautiful (inside & out) ladies I've ever seen. And she's a GREAT big sister.
Glad Future Funk didn't make it.
August 26th, 2010
9:01 am
Hey y'all,
Jasmine Trias, she got the Hawaii contingent to vote for her, but I agree, the best singer, she was not.
Oh, and….
( Not sure why that's the word of the day, but I'll go with it).
August 26th, 2010
9:01 am
(I was speaking of Christina of 'Christina and Ali")
August 26th, 2010
9:08 am
I personally thought that Christina was weak vocally, but not as weak as her sister. Why they were put through and not Antonio is beyond me. Nana, the kite flyer was Conner, I think. Not Taylor. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm sure with all this talk of boobs that Highlander will be here shortly. LOL
August 26th, 2010
9:18 am
Was very surprised to see Antonio not make it through. Was not surprised about ArcAttack to be honest — I would love to see them in person one time, but they are the type of act that gets old after a few times seeing them. Neat stuff with electricity, but not electrifying.
Michael Grimm and Prince P were a given.
I love Michael, and think Prince is an amazing performer and has a beautiful voice, but let's be honest — everyone is just fighting for second place. Barring a "Poker Face" type song choice, or a voice stealing sickness, JACKIE EVANCHO already has this competition won.

Good Morning and good boobs -
off to a busy day…
August 26th, 2010
9:28 am
Rosita, the censors know when you use the word "boobs" and want it to mean idiots, they allow it in.. They also know when you use the word boobs and mean breasteses, so they censor that one.
August 26th, 2010
9:30 am
Not so fast, Mike! Remember that everyone was saying Susan Boyle had BGT wrapped up last year from the moment she finished her audition. She finished second.
And one thing last night's result show shows, Sharon Osbourne can no longer use the phrase, "America always gets it right."
No way Antonio shoulda gone home. But it may be better for him. I'm sure that there's a Vegas hotel that's getting ready to close a long-running show and looking for a replacement.
August 26th, 2010
9:32 am
Mercedes, your 9:28 post reminds me of Ted Baxter's sign-off of "Good Night, and Good News."
But I definitely like yours better!
August 26th, 2010
9:39 am
Just me, but I did not think Taylor deserved to go through. And, certainly Antonio did. He thought so, too, and was completely blindsided by the vote-off. You could see the surprise in his face. It was almost a Chris Daughtry moment. The girls are only prolonging a vote-off. The competition is too strong. The Prince is head and shoulders above most of the competition and should win, if it is based upon talent and Vegas-ready act.
linny, I am with you on the Recycled Percussion act. They made it to Vegas in spite of being voted off last year. You are absolutely correct about their improved showmanship/menship, too. And a show at the MGM Grand is a huge consolation prize.
Good morning boob fans.

CSI produces softgel capsules on 12 production lines, three shifts per day, 5 days per week. Capteks production capabilities produce on average 200 million softgels per month. All products are produced in compliance with the latest FDA cGMP Standards, which became effective on June 25, 2009 (Became effective for all manufacturers, packers, labelers and holders of dietary supplements with 21 to 500 FTE employees).
by Design
Captek Softgel International, Inc., through its dedicated quality control laboratory staff, provides branded clients the softgel analysis expertise and full support of proper and effective evaluation from raw ingredients through finished product certification. The softgel dosage form presents a unique case for proper analytics, where the analysts' technique and familiarity in handling the particular matrix requires proper development, an understanding of the characteristics and behaviors of target markers, and an investigation of analytical anomalies. These foundations serve as the three supporting legs to a successful softgel analysis.
& Development
Manufacturing product formulations consisting of "multi-actives" can pose a challenge for softgel manufacturers due to the potential for fill to gelatin shell interactions or not achieving proper suspension of the powdered ingredients. An additional challenge is to maintain the capsules in the smallest size possible. The quality of the starting material is key to developing a stable finished capsule.
Sourcing consistent, high quality raw materials from reliable vendors, along with comprehensive testing, and tighter control of these raw materials is paramount. Captek Softgel International, Inc. is an ideal partner when searching for an experienced softgel manufacturer who can produce custom paste formulations without sacrificing quality amidst the demand for reduced cost.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The now-fired headmaster of a Pennsylvania Catholic school had changed his name and didn't disclose that he had been fired from another Catholic school because of his racist writings, a diocese said Wednesday.
The man formerly known as Frank Borzellieri had legally changed his name before he was hired in December at DuBois Area Catholic School, said Samuel Signorino, the director of schools for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie. The man's legal name was Mario Bella when he was hired at the school, a K-12 institution about 75 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Last week, a school employee dug up information about Bella's past, and he was terminated Friday after diocesan officials learned he had omitted from his resume his 2011 firing by the Archdiocese of New York.
The identity change "really fooled us," and Bella's references "gave no indication that he had a different name in the past," Signorino said.
The Associated Press could not immediately determine where and when Borzellieri changed his name and could not locate listed phone numbers or other contact information for him under either name in Pennsylvania and New York. Messages to his publisher, Cultural Studies Press, of New York, were not immediately returned.
The publisher's website still touts books written by Borzellieri, including "Lynched: A Conservative's Life on a New York City School Board," which recounts his 11 years "as the only conservative and Eurocentrist on this ultra-liberal school board."
Borzellieri made headlines while on that board for trying to ban a biography of Martin Luther King Jr. from the school district, calling King a "hypocritical adulterer" and "a leftist hoodlum with significant Communist ties."
In August 2011, New York church officials fired Borzellieri after two years as principal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, a predominantly black and Hispanic elementary school in the Bronx, for writings church officials deemed racially offensive. That happened shortly after the New York Daily News reported that Borzellieri had written that expanding black and Hispanic populations would create a "New Dark Age."
Signorino said the educator's resume didn't include any information about the New York school. Because his educational background was otherwise impressive and the references checked out, he was hired, Signorino said.
None of the references told the diocese and its school that Bella worked for them under his previous name, Signorino said.
"We went back to some of the references and said, 'Why didn't you tell us?' and they said, 'You didn't ask that specific question,'" Signorino said. "I've been an educator for 30 years, and I've never run across something like this."
A school employee dug up the information on Bella's past. Church and school officials declined to identify the person.
Monsignor Charles Kaza, the school's interim president, said he believes the employee was simply curious about the new headmaster's background.
"We have a new person in here and let's see what we can find out about him, that kind of thing," Kaza said.
Signorino said he expects applicants will henceforth be asked if they've ever used another name.
"We thought we were very thorough, getting a criminal records check and all those other clearances, his transcripts, everything like that," Kaza said. "A learning experience is what I think you could call it."

The San Francisco 49ers and Anthony Davis have agreed a five-year contract extension that will keep the stud right tackle a member of the Niners through 2019. The deal is worth $37.295 million, with $17 million in guarantees.
It is just the first of many pieces that the 49ers will need to lock up for the long-term success of their franchise.
As Pro Football Talk points out:
The Davis deal could be the first piece of a much larger contract puzzle for the 49ers, especially with Iupati, receiver Michael Crabtree, and quarterback Colin Kaepernick all due to become free agents in the same year Davis would have hit the market: 2015. Linebacker Aldon Smith will become a free agent in 2016.
As a practical matter, the 49ers need to be ready to sign their core players sooner rather than later. After 2013, both Kaepernick and Smith will be eligible for long-term deals — and it's safe to say both will want them. Especially since both players were drafted in the first year of the current rookie wage scale, which in Smith's case resulted in a far lesser contract than he would have gotten if he'd been the seventh overall pick one year earlier.
The 49ers are one of the most loaded teams in the league and this latest move ensures they will continue heading towards a Super Bowl appearance.

Tempe Ariz. • This time, the offense traveled.
This time, Utah made shots, ran its plays smoothly, scored at the rim and got to the free-throw line. Still, this is the story of a another difficult-to-swallow Ute road defeat, instead of how Utah went into Arizona State and walked out of Wells Fargo Arena with a victory.
During the first trip of the season — losses at Washington and Washington State — the Utes were bad offensively. They fixed that Thursday night but still came away with the same result. On Friday, following Thursday's 79-75 defeat, Ute players spoke of the frustration of not being able to climb a mountain that seems so close and far away at the same time.
"Of course it's frustrating," sophomore guard Brandon Taylor said. "We played well, and we feel like we're so close to getting over the hump. It's hard to know that we shot well and that we played well enough to win, but we lost."
On the surface, the issue is easy to assess. Despite playing well on offense, Utah played maybe its worst game of the season on the other side of the ball. Arizona State shot a high percentage. Jahii Carson — en route to a game-high 23 points — got into the lane seemingly anytime he wanted. The Utes couldn't get stops when it counted. They coughed up a nine-point lead and had chances to make life difficult for Arizona State.
Looking deeper — however — Utah is still a very young team, and played like it during large stretches. For example, with 1:30 remaining in the first half, the Utes had a 41-33 lead and the ball with the chance for a double-digit advantage. Delon Wright kicked the ball away, and ASU got a transition layup. On the next possession, Marko Kovacevic committed an offensive foul. Then Shaquielle McKissic hit a jumper at the halftime buzzer.
Instead of a cushy 10-point lead, Utah went into the break with a 41-37 advantage. Though an advantage, it could have been much greater. Little things such as that prevent teams from winning on the road, and the Utes still haven't shown themselves capable of doing the little things. Not yet.
"We hurt ourselves with some turnovers," sophomore forward Jordan Loveridge said. "It's something that we have to work on and get better at."
Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said playing on the road requires playing the perfect game. His theory is sound, at least in terms of the Pac-12. The Utes are 0-3 away from the Huntsman Center in conference play. Those margins of those three defeats total nine points. It means Utah is currently good enough to compete with teams away from home. It also means they currently still have a lot of work to do.
"If we want to win on the road, we have to be a lot sharper and a lot cleaner," Krystkowiak said. "We can't have the lapses that we've had. We can't say that we're young; that's an excuse. We just have to be better."

Costa Rica is a great place to retire too and I recently took a Boomers in Costa Rica tour. They have a special promotion running right now to bring a friend or another couple which makes it even easier. There's information here:

I stayed at the Hemmingway Inn in historic san jose for about 6 days at the begining and end of my month in Costa Rica and it was an wonderful place. Each room was named after a different famous author and decorated individually. The managers were extremely helpful and friendly. Most people staying there were younger because its very inexpensive, so its great for backpackers. There's a hot tub and delicious breakfast in the morning as well.

Colours guest house in San Jose, Esquina Noroeste del Triangulo del Bulevar Rohrmoser, caters primarily to gay and lesbian travelers, although all are welcome. The rooms are large and airy, the common rooms are bright and cheerful and the breakfast room usually has a nice happy hour in the evening. The staff is friendly and can provide information about the local gay scene as well as book excursions around the country.

Manly Moustaches of the Animal Kingdom, Day 25:
"Y is for Yak"
"Manly Moustaches of the Animal Kingdom" shows manly animals with manly moustaches* thinking manly thoughts.
It is a very artistic project which makes women want to love manly men and men want to love manly men- I MEAN "BE"! BE MANLY MEN.
You have been blessed with this gift of pure beauty in order to draw your attention to my participation in Movember.
Movember is when men grow moustaches in the month of November to raise money and awareness for men's health, especially prostate cancer. There will be a new picture posted to the series every day in Movember.
If you enjoy "Manly Moustaches of the Animal Kingdom" — and how could you not? — then all I ask is for your kind monetary support:
Thank you.
* In the U.S., "moustache" is spelled "mustache", except in New Jersey where it's spelled "Spell it yourself".

Am I supposed to stay in bed until time to go to work at a dead-end job, eating store-brand ice cream and masturbating, afraid to step outside my door? Hardly.
It's not even a question of fighting fear, really. It's walking right past that fear as if it didn't exist. Not that fear doesn't cause me anxiety, trepidation, or stress. But it's useless anxiety, trepidation, and stress, so there's nothing left but to walk past it. And I do it every day. Because for every one of those fears, there's an unfear – an unfear of flying, an unfear of going someplace where I don't know the language, an unfear of asking strangers for help, an unfear of engaging in passionate discussions about life, an unfear of escaping my comfort zone, an unfear of trying – I am just as unafraid as I am afraid. More unafraid, even. It's true; sometimes, the forces of fear win a battle or two. But it's unfear that has the nuclear bomb in its arsenal.
I repeat: I am unafraid.
You repeat: I am unafraid.

Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" cover art
With a little more than a month to go until "Born This Way" is released, Lady Gaga revealed the cover art for the album via Twitter. Apparently she became part motorcycle after her time in the egg before the Grammy's… Interesting. What do you think? Is it crazy cool, or just plain bizarre?
VIDEO OF THE DAY: The Key of Awesome's "Born This Way" Parody
The Key of Awesome on YouTube always has really hilarious/well-done parodies of all the big songs. Now they've taken on "Born This Way." In true Gaga form, they have pushed the limit and at times it can be a bit much. Just a warning. Don't say I didn't tell ya so. Now laugh away: [youtube]FFvE9D3zMfY[/youtube]

State Senator Daniel Wolf deserves a chance to run for governor. The Cape Cod legislator would bring a fascinating background to the race: In 1989, he founded Cape Air, an airline that he built into a force in regional aviation.
That background, though, now threatens to ground his gubernatorial campaign before it even takes off. The State Ethics Commission, in an unduly harsh ruling, declared that Wolf would have to divest his remaining 23 percent ownership share in Cape Air if he wants to run for governor. Not only that, but unless he unloads his stake, he must resign from the Senate, where he has represented most of the Cape and Islands since 2011.

We all learned the Golden Rule as youngsters. "Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you." Do you think that rule still makes sense in healthcare today especially with good nurses?
Think based on your perspective. When you are the customer, how do you like to be treated? Do you want someone treating you like they want to be treated, or like you want to be treated? When you are at work, try the ViewpointSHIFT™ rule instead. A ViewpointSHIFT is when you change the way you look at or think about things, and the actions that follow to achieve less stress, more energy and remarkable results.
Similar to the Golden Rule, but with a new twist, the ViewpointSHIFT Rule looks at service from the customer's viewpoint. The rule says "treat others the way they want to be treated".
Picture a retail setting where some customers like to peruse the isles unattended. Others love the one-on-one care they receive from their favorite sales person. If you treat everyone the same, the way you want to be treated, you are missing out on a golden patient satisfaction opportunity. This opportunity also relates to how you treat your family members, co-workers, boss, and so on.
I'll bet I know what you are thinking now. How can you possibly know how each of your patient, co-worker and boss would want to be treated?
The answer is common sense but not necessarily a common practice among good nurses. Just ask and then pay attention. Listen to patterns from patients. Does the person routinely ask for pain medicines before he or she is due for the next dosage? Make a note to have the meds ready right on time. Consciously notice body language, listen to what people say, anticipate patient needs based on past experiences and respond accordingly.
Your patients, co-workers, boss, etc. will love you for it. They will stop complaining and start being happy and satisfied. They will even tell their friends. This will make your day go much more smoothly. Get the picture?
Look at things from your patient's point of view, utilize the ViewpointSHIFT Rule and see how your world shines and be the good nurse you want to be!

Foundry Cycles Tomahawk 27.5 Hardtail
|(0 Reviews)
Product DescriptionThe Tomahawk is our burly hardtail designed to do one thing: go fast on tight, twisty singletrack. It practically begs you to pedal harder and hit corners hot. The Tomahawk is designed around 27.5" wheels, a diameter which bridges the acceleration and flickability of 26" and the terrain smoothing approach angle of 29ers. In fact, it doesn't just use 27.5" wheels, it is designed completely around them. It's constructed of 40 ton carbon fiber, a material that allows an enormous range of control in tuning a frame to perform as intended. In the case of the Tomahawk, we made a bike that goes fast and lasts beyond the model year. The Tomahawk is stable but responsive.

Ameristar, which had planned a $910 million casino project, announced Friday that it will not move forward with its bid.
The Westinghouse property off Page Boulevard as recently as Friday afternoon had plans to house a $900 million resort casino off Interstate-291 for shopping, restaurants and a hotel.
But those plans stopped with this statement sent to CBS 3 by Ameristar:
"The company concluded that there is not a sufficient likelihood that the basis upon which it could be awarded the license to develop and operate a casino in Springfield is favorable enough to warrant its further pursuit."
The abrupt decision is catching some city councilor members off-guard.
"It's kind of bizarre seeing as though they've invested here in the city, they've purchased this land, they've cleared this land," said President of Springfield City Council James Ferrera.
Mayor Domenic Sarno reacted in a statement sent to CBS 3.
"Obviously the city is very disappointed in Ameristar's decision to withdraw from the competition to locate a world class resort casino in Springfield."
But it's the reason why they're pulling out that's upsetting other city councilors. In their statement, Ameristar reps point to the city's process as part of the reason for their leaving.
"Specifically, the local selection process, various project requirements and associated costs led to the decision to reserve Ameristar's resources for the company's growth and diversification for other more attractive opportunities."
"We need to find out what happened and make sure this doesn't drive anyone else away who's willing to put this amount of money in the city," said City Council Member John Lysak.
Some residents who live nearby are disappointed to see a potential job creator now gone.
"It's really disappointing only because of the fact that it would have created a lot of jobs, security, it could have brought up a lot of businesses in the area," said Liz Gagnon, Springfield resident.
"There's probably not going to be much opportunity now for people to find work," said Steve Maruca.
Others are glad to see it go.
"I live right down the street, there's enough traffic up here now, enough's enough," said Chris Pohner.
MGM and Penn National are both still in the running for downtown casinos.
It remains to be seen what Ameristar will now do with their plot of land.

Employment concentration and resource allocation: one-company towns in Russia
One-company towns, towns where a single company accounts for a significant share of total employment and shapes the livelihoods of the people, are often associated with centrally planned economies.
But in fact they were common elsewhere. One-company towns had grown up in the USA towards the end of the 19th century, particularly in the industrial areas of the Mid-West, and at their peak were over 2,500 in number, accounting for up to 3% of the US population.
In the UK, the Cadbury company town of Bourneville and Lord Lever's Port Sunlight were the best known examples.
A recent EBRD working paper takes a closer look at the phenomenon of one-company towns in Russia and comparative performance of enterprises located there by matching data on performance of Russian firms with the latest Census data on distribution of population.

Click image for a pair of hi-res shots
Porschephiles will soon be able to order up a new Aerokit from the manufacturer that is both functional and appearance-enhancing (well, maybe not to everyone, but you get the point). The new wind-tunnel-tested set of upgrades reduces lift at speed thanks to the installation of new lip spoilers and a fixed rear wing. The changes up front are fine and all, but we think the rear wing takes away from the clean look the standard Cayman sports in back. Form follows function, however, and you can't order the pieces individually. A check for €3,500 written to Porsche Exclusive in Germany will score you a set of the components pre-painted in factory colors to match your ride. Unpainted kits will be available from Porsche Tequipment in March at €2,950 for customers looking to do additional customization on their own.
Porsche's press release is pasted after the jump.

New Aerokit makes the Porsche Cayman even sportier
Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany, has begun to supply Aerokits for its Cayman und Cayman S sports cars. This new customizing equipment consists of add-on spoiler lips for the standard front-end apron panel and a new, fixed rear spoiler.
Designed by engineers at the Porsche Development Center in Weissach, the Aerokit gives the Cayman even more 'bite' and even sportier, more dynamic looks. The front spoiler lips emphasize the visual power of the big air inlets in the front apron. The new, fixed rear wing creates a strong visual accent even when the car is standing still. Along with the car's appearance, its aerodynamics have also been upgraded. The Aerokit's components, optimized in Porsche's wind tunnel, reduce lift at the front and rear axles, making the car even more stable at high speeds. The aerodynamic components have been carefully matched and must therefore only be installed as a complete set. All the items in the Aerokit are supplied in the car's body color and harmonize well with the Cayman's dynamic styling.
Porsche supplies this Aerokit on all international markets. In Germany, it can be ordered via Porsche Exclusive for 3,500 Euros (excluding value-added tax) for installation on a new car. For later customization, it will be available starting in March 2007 from Porsche Tequipment for 2,950 Euros excluding VAT, installation and spraying.

CRAVE Chicago- celebrating stylish women entrepreneurs

The Daily Stroll
Babies are small. Yes this is a fact. My babies were both under 7 lbs and surprisingly it was tough to put them in what I thought were regular newborn outfits. The second time around when baby E was born I wised up and purchased quite a few 5-9lb tops, hats, and gowns. This was very helpful since she was 3 weeks early and stayed under 8lbs for her first month or so. If I hadn't found companies that really knew how to dress a lightweight newborn she would have been swimming in clothes that were too big, unsafe, and not cozy. A un-cozy baby? Oy- what a thought.
Westcoast Baby has the right idea with their nesting kit. Complete with Infant Kimono (great for not having to put something over baby's head), Infant Beanie Hat, and Cocoon Blanket, the complete set comes in a handful of hip and cozy colors. Sizing 5-9lbs, or 8-12lbs. The nesting kit comes in a keepsake tin (so when they are done wearing their cozy outfit you can preserve it forever), and all pieces are made from a super soft knit jersey fabric.
