The professional and personal challenges, the high and lows, the failures and the success?
Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with over 1800 past events in 120 countries around the world in 2014.

From Mongolia to South Africa to London to Brazil, people around the globe are coming together for weekend long workshops to pitch ideas, form teams, and start companies.
All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it's a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
Whether entrepreneurs found companies, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups. If you want to put yourself in the shoes of an entrepreneur, register now for the best weekend of your life!

Chris Noth replied to my tweet!
Good morning, on July 7
Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly…
Love this letter and i keep on repeating this quote :
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours
Call me a sissy but yes, I do have moments (quite a lot of it lately, if I'm being honest; which i'm not that proud of) when I actually enjoy reading dead people's love letters. Once upon a time, words actually held a lot of significance.
I don't know what it is about today, really. It must be the coldness in the air, the nonexistent sound of birds chirping when I close my eyes or the fact that I haven't seen a single ray of sun all day. Who knows? It all feels very disconcerting, nonetheless.
Can you please tell me where can i get this book ? Do you think i can get it in malaysia?
Saw this episode today on TV and geez, I miss these two so much.
God i missed them too…
sexy sexy sexy lips oh man
Oh my god what a kissable lips and i totaly agree with you on this therumtumtumbler:
Wow me tooo … i would love for him to pop out of a box on my brithday too .
Can I have him pop out of a box for my birthday?
Wonder where to get Blain Blazer ….. Really would love to have this one .
Love of my life <3 (Taken with instagram)
Oh yeah he is a perfect husband , perfect father, perfect actor , basicaly he is the perfect guy dont you just love him for being him .
He is perfect…♥

Last year Independence day was spent climbing Mt Rainier. I would spend the second 4th of July in a row climbing a mountain. The goal today was to climb 17,782 ft Urus Este. This peak is considered easy by Cordillera Blanca standards, but in comparison with the mountains in my resume, it is a big mountain. Continue reading
Cordillera Blanca – Peru Skills Seminar with RMI
"Anything in life worth doing is worth overdoing, moderation is for cowards"
I am struck by this quote from the movie Lone Survivor, which I am watching on my iphone as I travel by bus to the city of Huaraz. I have certainly sacrificed, and worked hard to be here. For the last eight months much of my free time has been spent on training, and this trip has lightened my wallet considerably. The level of climbing these mountains demand certainly entails more risks than I have previously been exposed to. Whether I am living a balanced life or overdoing it I'm not sure, but one thing is certain, I am happy to be here. I am tingling with anticipation for the adventure that awaits me. I am headed into the Cordillera Blanca, one of the highest and most rugged mountain ranges in the world. This area has a special combination of interesting culture, great conditions, insane beauty, and wild routes that make it a mecca for alpinism.
How to Follow my Progress in Peru.
This page describes how you can receive updates about my trip to the Peruvian Andes (Cordillera Blanca)
Here are the primary ways to get information
- The RMI Blog will have a daily dispatch posted with pictures and a detailed description of what we did that day. You may have to scroll a little bit to find the updates from the Peru Seminar.
- My SPOT Page will show my latest messages and tracks.
- I will try to tweet updates using my spot device as well. You can follow me @colokeith for updates
There will be a few days (shown below) that should have some interesting updates. The rest will be spent traveling, acclimatizing, and working on climbing skills around base camp.
- Wednesday 7/2 BASE CAMP 14,400′
Leaving Huaraz in the morning, we make the short drive to Collón (11,150′). We meet our mules and begin the trek through the Ishinca Valley. Several hours of hiking through alpine landscapes brings us to our Base Camp.
- Friday 7/4: URUS ESTE SUMMIT DAY • 17,800′
We make an early alpine start to climb Nevado Urus (17,800′). After the climb, we descend back to Base Camp.
- Sunday 7/6: TOCLLARAJU GLACIER CAMP • 17,380′
We leave Base Camp and climb to our high camp below Tocllaraju. After establishing camp, we settle in for the evening.
- Monday 7/7: TOCLLARAJU SUMMIT DAY • 19,796′
Leaving high camp, we make our summit attempt on Tocllaraju (19,796′). The climbing is a mix of glacier travel and exciting, steep snow climbing to reach the mountain's summit. Following the ascent, we descend back to our high camp to retrieve our gear before descending to Base Camp for the evening.
- Wednesday 7/9: ISHINCA SUMMIT DAY • 18,143′
The Seminar culminates in a participant-led ascent of Ishinca (18,143′). Climbers have the opportunity to put their mountaineering skills into action and lead the team on a summit attempt. After the climb, we descend to Base Camp for the evening
Overview Of Area
Peru's Cordillera Blanca is one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in the world. The high peaks of the Cordillera offer phenomenal climbing and ideal opportunities for mountaineering training. Cordillera Blanca is the world's highest and most glaciated tropical mountain range. Topped by 6768m high Huascaran there are 25 6000ers and more than 50 peaks above 5500m within this range, amongst them beautiful Alpamayo and "Paramount peak" Artesonraju. Climbing season runs from May -September. It provides long periods of dry and sunny weather only interrupted by one or two less stable days, which however may force you to wait in your tent before the summit bid.
Redemption On Mt Neva Juliet Couloir
Mt Neva is a gem of a mountain nestled in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Its complex North East Face holds several quality snow routes. The route we climbed is a steep couloir called Juliet. We had an absolute blast on this route.

Colorado Marathon Race Report
Sometime last year I lost all of my good senses and decided I was going to run a marathon. The decision was not exactly out of the blue. I had been running regularly for several years, and had completed two half marathons last year. Being that I am a fanboy of the state of Colorado it was only fitting that I choose the Colorado Marathon to give my virginity to. This marathon is known for its natural beauty and smallish field, not its fanfare and crowds. This race seamed right up my alley. The Colorado Marathon is a one way race which follows the Poudre river as it runs into the heart of Fort Collins. With the race date set, I made a training plan based off of one of Hal Higdon's popular plans. Then I set out to convince some friends to run the race with me. I was only able to convince one other person (Melissa) to do the full marathon, but managed to talk my wife and one of her friends into running a half marathon.
Dreaming Of Peru
It is hard to explain why I am called to the high mountains. I love the beauty, challenge, and overcoming fears, but does it justify cost, risk, and sacrifice needed to climb big mountains? What ever the reasons the call of the mountains is strong. Even while my legs were still aching from my assent of Rainier, I was dreaming of what my next big climb would be. Originally I was planning on heading to Mexico to climb some large volcanoes (Orizaba and Ixtca). Then I found a two week expedition skills seminar in the heart of the Peruvian Andes. So for me, the first two weeks of July will be spent in the the Cordillera Blanca. The Cordillera Blanca (white mountains) are a complex highland with permanently snowcapped peaks, some among the highest of the Andes (e.g., Mount Huascarán, at 22,205 feet).
I will be spending eleven nights camped above 14,435′ a mere 4 feet lower than Colorado's highest point (Mt Elbert 14,439′) . From basecamp we will be climbing three peaks Urus Este (17,800′), Tocllaraju(19,796′), and Ischinca (18,143′). We will also spend lots of time working on climbing skills.Tocllaraju will certainly be the crux of the trip. The route finishes with a 70 degree ice pitch at 19,000ft, which is sure to be a real challenge. For the last mountain Trip participants will be chosen to lead in place of the guides.
Polar Star Inn (Hut Trip 2014)
In many states a winter hut trip would involve heading to pizza hut for a mediocre slice of pepperoni pie. In Colorado it consists of treking through snow to a warm and cushy cabin deep in the backcountry.
Last year a group of us made an easy trip back to Continental Divide Cabin. Since everyone had a blast we decided to pick a different hut and repeat the trip. This year the group agreed to up the challenge, and go for a more remote hut. We settled on Polar Star Inn which is a 17 person hut in the 10th Mountain Division Hut system. We also convinced more people to join us getting the group size up to 11.

Every Friday morning, SAfm's AMLive's radio anchor Xolani Gwala speaks to Martin Creamer, publishing editor of Engineering News and Mining Weekly. Reported here is this Friday's At the Coalface transcript:
Gwala: Diamond giant De Beers will decide in two months whether or not to spend R17-billion on expanding its Venetia mine in Limpopo province.
Creamer: Yes, we have got a new CEO of the De Beers giant, Philippe Mellier the first non-South African. He is a Frenchman, of course, and he is having to confront the complexities of the diamond industry.
He is very quick, during his visit to Johannesburg, to say that he is going to open at least five more jewellery stores in China. He is a little bit slower when it comes to a decision on whether or not to spend R17-billion to expand the Venetia mine.
That is De Beers flagship mine and the biggest producer of diamonds in South Africa. In order to keep its life going to 2046, of course, these mines also look long, they need to take a decision now on whether or not to go underground. That will mean a kilometre depth.
The existing mine is opencast and a lot of these diamond mines the pipe extends underground and they have to take there expensive decisions. Melliers biggest wish is to find another big diamond discovery. De Beers have been searching for 15-years for another big diamond mine, something like Venetia or Jwaneng, you just don't find them anymore.
He is saying that the future is going to be a lot of smaller mines, scattered. In the meantime, they've got this opportunity, but it is at a time when the resources environment is down. So, of course, it is going to be a very interesting decision, because two boards will have to take this decision. Not only De Beers now but also the Anglo American board because we know that the Oppenheimer family are selling their 40% out of De Beers to Anglo.
This is going to be an indication of how committed the new owners are to investing in South Africa in an industry which is worth $70-billion a year and De Beers with their turnover at $7-billion. It only has 10% of that, so you can see it is a very changed industry where De Beers used to have such huge dominance, now it is like a normalised competitor.
Gwala: Well staying with diamonds and investing in South Africa, a small black-run diamond-cutting operation is proving that local diamond beneficiation is profitable.
Creamer: There is always this argument the diamond miners say beneficiating, cutting and polishing diamonds in South Africa, is not really competitive with what goes on in India and China.
This particular company, which is Trans Hex Diamond Cutting Works in Johannesburg, part of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange listed Trans Hex, a diamond mining company, they have got 75% of it and the entrepreneur running it Prince Mbetse has the other 25%.
He is saying that this is viable, but the big advantage is when you are part of a mining house that you don't have to go to the table and beg for the sort of diamonds your clients want, you know the sort of diamonds your clients want, you get those from the mine and you supply them into that market.
So, this particular diamond cutting works has already opened a Belgium sales office and they say that this business is profitable. It also comes against the background, of course, of legislation.
In South Africa you have to sell 10% of your diamonds to the State Diamond Trader, by law. Then if you don't sell another 15% to local cutters and polishers, you have to pay a 5% export tax.
Trans Hex is saying that they can save the 5% and do the beneficiation themselves. Trans Hex CEO Llewellyn Delport says this is profitable.
Gwala: A South African biotechnology firm has obtained special Ministerial permission to list on a foreign stock exchange to fund a new method of treating cancer.
Creamer: The South Africans have had a breakthrough in cancer. They have gone along to the Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan and also the South African Reserve Bank and said that they have this company Genius Biotherapeutics of Cape Town.
They can not raise the $30-million on the local Johannesburg Stock Exchange, because the investors haven't got analysts that are tuned to this sort of biotech investing.
So, give us permission to list on a foreign stock exchange. We haven't had that since the year 2000, when the big mining companies went out. Gencor went our and is now BHP Billiton and Anglo American went out and listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Now we've got this smaller biotechnology company that wants to seek a foreign listing in order to raise $30-million because it has got to put this breakthrough in cancer, it has got to trial it and in order to do that it is going to have to have investors behind it.
We already see on the Nasdaq in New York Dendreon company has got a similar sort of breakthrough with the use of vaccines to treat prostate cancer. It would possibly be an exchange to go to, Nasdaq, to raise this capital, but the big thing is that we have 100 000 people just in South Africa alone diagnosed with cancer every year.
Yet the cures are very slow and sparce, because cancer is a sort of class of disease, so there is not just one cure. But we know that chemotherapy is the big thing, but it does have its side effects and it does interfere with the quality of life of certain people.
They are saying that their new vaccine, dendritic cell vaccine, uses one's own immune cells to attack that cancer and they feel that it is a superior offering in this cancer cure race and they want to now try and list on a foreign exchange and they've got the permission to do so from the Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan and also the South African Reserve Bank.
Gwala: It will be interesting to see if they will be able to raise $30-million.
Creamer: And virtually half the company is owned by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed, Sekunjalo.
Gwala: Thanks very much. Martin Creamer is publishing editor of Engineering News and Mining Weekly, he'll be back with us at the same time next week.

*mum slaps it down*
This is battlefields' mother. Thank you, Chuey, for bringing this to my attention, battlefields has a lot of explaining to do. I also found an unused condom, but I know he isn't sexually active because all he does is play WoW in the basement and runs around pretending to be a ninja.
No ninjer stars, but I do have guns. Oh, and a sword or two and some knives. Does that count? Please come to the Mega and give me a titty twister. I haven't had one in years. It would be quite entertaining, I'm sure.
Chuey, since you haven't been to the school in question in 20 years and were 14 years old at the time, your opinion on the subject at hand is of questionable value.
1) John Manniel may have been doing some very legitimate good in the '70s and '80s by providing kids with a healthy hobby to keep them out of trouble, but:
2) he certainly wasn't the only one doing this at the time;
3) claims of "t3h d34dly" tend to be over inflated crap designed to paper over the promoter's lack of ability;
4) martial arts evolve over time, griping about "MMA fans"[sic] pointing out the weaknesses in training methodology and pedagogy that was common 20 yrs ago is like the Catholic Church railing against Copernicus for challenging the Ptolemaic world view - just because Ptolemy got it wrong with regards to a universe centered around the Earth doesn't mean that Ptolemy is completely full of ****;
5) multiple ranks, belt colors and degrees are by and large a marketing scheme designed to make money, especially when testing and certification fees are involved. My first TKD instructor was the first person to warn me about this back in the mid '80s. He, by the way, did not charge for rank tests certifications below 1st Dan, and then he only charged 10% the certification above the Kukiwon's price. He said that the inflation of colored belts within the ranking system was designed to meet Americans' desire for instant gratification and that linkage between rank and rank test fees would ensure that the number of belt colors and ranks would just continue to increase. At the time, we had four belt colors and seven ranks under 1st Dan and he thought that was too much. What has happened with TKD since then just validates his warnings.

How To Get Cheap SR22 Auto Insurance Rates
Reader's Question:
What are the instances that could lead me to SR22 filing in South Carolina? How do I get cheap SR22 insurance rates?
Allendale, SC
If you commit traffic violations such as reckless driving, driving under the influence (DUI), driving without insurance and at fault accidents, South Carolina will mandate you to file for an SR22. An SR22 is a proof that you have enough liability insurance coverage at a time when you caused injury to person or damage to a property.
It is not easy for any motorist to file for an SR22 insurance. SR22 insurance rates vary among auto insurance companies. Any motorist who is convicted of a traffic infraction such as DUI is considered by most insurance companies as high risk. To cover up the risk that is going to cause the insurance companies, they generally charged these high risk drivers with an increased premium compared to other regular policies. However there are still some possible ways for you to obtain cheap SR22 insurance rates.
Go quote shopping online. Get as many quotes as you possibly can before signing for a single policy. Vehicle insurance companies will be glad to provide you with quotes. You will be surprised to find out that after requesting several SR22 quotes you get to notice that one quote is twice as much as the other quote.
You can easily get quotes by surfing the Internet. Spend some few minutes to fill out few online forms with your personal information. Submit it online and get hundreds of SR22 quotes instantly that would likely help you save a few hundred dollars on your monthly premiums.
Remember not to forget to spend enough time reviewing each quote particularly on its terms and conditions as well as its coverage scheme. Make sure that the scheme is reasonable for your needs and that the coverage comes with good service. It's an important consideration to make when deciding on any particular company.
One of the best ways to lower your annual premiums is to have a higher deductible amount.. Like a $1,000, is what I carry personally.
Now, if you are a claim free and safe driver like I am, you could be saving a ton of money each year on your premiums. People fail to realize that the deductible amount is only paid when they file a claim and their insurance company pays that claim.
Ask for discounts, you never know what you might be able to get and how much you can save by asking. Some popular discounts can be given for:
1. Military personnel
2. Good grade students
3. Union membership and bank member affiliations
4. Safe drivers with no claims in last 7 years
5. Defensive driving school attendance
6. Clean credit history – used by many carriers to determine payment risk

Scientists have found a genetic mutation they say protects against Alzheimer's disease and holds promise for a possible treatment for this form of dementia. More than five percent of people over the age of 60 in the Western world are believed to suffer from dementia, about two-thirds of which is due to Alzheimer's disease. Scientists in the United States and Europe reported in the journal Nature that they had found a gene coding mutation, A673T, that protects against both Alzheimer's and cognitive decline in elderly people who do not have the disease.

BirdLife International was recently invited to participate in the first International Bird Fair held in Fuzhou, in Fujian Province in south-east China. The event was a great success and was attended by an amazing 20,000 people from all walks of life.
China Programme
Three previously unknown breeding sites of Asia's rarest bunting have been discovered by a team from the Beijing Bird Watching Society working with BirdLife's China Programme.
The beginning of a new era in formal cooperation between BirdLife International and China has begun with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the BirdLife International Partnership and the China Ornithological Society.
This summer an innovative tern colony restoration project has apparently established a new Chinese Crested Tern colony in the Jiushan Islands.

GREENSBORO Lawyers will be in federal court on Friday to argue for and against a 2011 North Carolina law that requires physicians to perform an ultrasound four hours before providing an abortion and to place the screen in the woman's view while describing the images in detail.
U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles will hear arguments in a federal courtroom in Greensboro.
Key provisions of the law have not gone into effect while under challenge by women's health care providers and civil-liberties advocates. Eagles issued a preliminary injunction in October 2011.
The law, adopted by the North Carolina General Assembly despite a veto by the governor at the time, Bev Perdue, would allow a woman to "avert her eyes" from the ultrasound screen and to "refuse to hear" the health care provider's description of the images.
But the law does not provide an option for the abortion provider to forgo offering such information if the woman objects.
The provider would also be required to offer the woman the opportunity to hear the "fetal heart tone."
There are no exceptions provided for women who have been victims of rape; a woman whose doctor determines that the woman would suffer serious, long-lasting health problems if she carried the pregnancy to term; or a woman whose doctor determines that the fetus has severe abnormalities that would cause fetal death or extreme disability.
The ACLU of North Carolina Legal Foundation, the Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina, Planned Parenthood Health Systems, Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on Sept. 29, 2011, challenging the law's constitutionality.
In October, Eagles said those challenging the law had shown they were likely to prove the provision violated their free speech rights for health care providers and issued the injunction. Provisions requiring the presentation of an ultrasound to a pregnant woman have been blocked in Texas and Oklahoma.
On Friday, advocates and critics of the law will have a chance to offer their legal arguments to Eagles.
The hearing comes at a time when abortion has moved to the forefront of political debate in North Carolina and elsewhere. Just recently, Gov. Pat McCrory signed legislation that critics contend is designed to limit access to abortions. Advocates who agree with the law, which requires abortion providers to meet licensing standards that the vast majority of the state's providers don't currently meet, argue that it is intended to enhance safety measures.
Women wearing pink held protests at the General Assembly and outside the executive mansion in Raleigh, blasting McCrory for what they considered to be backpedalling on a campaign promise to not sign any "further restrictions" on abortion into law.

Once you've decided to try for a child you might expect it to happen right away, be prepared for it to take a bit longer
It might make planning your life that little bit harder, but there's no answer to this question: some couples conceive in their first month of trying, or of not using contraception, others can take months or even years and some couples will be unable to conceive naturally. For many women, after years of worrying about unwanted pregnancy, it can come as some surprise to find out that getting pregnant might not be as easy as we thought. To put some perspective on this, an averagely fertile couple has a 20-25% chance of conceiving with each cycle. Around 92% of couples conceive within 24 months of trying for a baby with regular unprotected sex and doctors usually won't start investigating possible fertility problems until a couple has been trying to conceive for a year with no success.
Medical conditions affecting fertility aside, the main factor affecting fertility is age. It might not be what women in their thirties and delaying starting a family want to hear, but age does play a part in how fertile you are, for the simple reason that as you age, so do your eggs, making fewer eggs are 'viable' (that is, capable of sustaining a pregnancy). According to the UK's National Health Service, a woman in her early twenties is twice as fertile as a woman in her late thirties, with the biggest drop off in fertility happening in the mid-thirties. It's also the case that as you get older the rate of miscarriage rises dramatically. The general rate of miscarriage is believed to be about one-in-five (though it's very difficult to say how many early miscarriages occur that are never noticed because the woman isn't aware that she's pregnant), by the time women reach their forties the rate of miscarriage could be as high as one-in-two.
But before you start to panic, it's very common nowadays for women to wait until their thirties, or even a little later, to start a family and many do so with few or no problems at all. If you do leave it a little later to start a family though, then you should be prepared for it to take longer for you to conceive and to carry a successful pregnancy to term then it would have done in your twenties.
There are many steps you can take yourself to optimise your chances of conceiving, but if you haven't managed to conceive after 12 months of actively trying then your doctor will probably be willing to help. There are various investigations and tests that can be done to see whether subfertility is a problem for either partner. If there is a problem of subfertility it can just as easily be a question of male subfertililty as of female subfertility and can also be a combination of the two, a low sperm count combined with infrequent ovulation, for example.
If you've been charting your fertility signs for a number of months and believe that you're not ovulating your doctor may consider fertility treatment sooner.

I have just read the posting from the 21 year old lady who wants a baby now, you have to really wait until your boyfriend is ready, it is a big responsiblity and he quite clearly isn't ready for it at the moment.My advice is to be patient and wait a couple of years it will come. I have four adult children and am pregnant at 48 with baby no 5 with a new partner.

I get a lot of comments when I wear this jacket.
Bought it as a gift for my daughter, who seems to like it.
wind proof jacket at a great price
The jacket was a nice light material but was very poorly finished product. It has missed stiching and loose strings every where. Don't order anything embroidered either because I had ordered this with custom embroidery just to find out when it came in it wasn't and that it had been left off of the packing slip, leaving me not enough time to get it done before it was time to give it as a gift.
Good quality.

To retailers?? The real person that was hurt by this is the consumer!
I hope they go ahead and start the Antitrust suit, they all deserve it.
Problem is this will become a big lawsuit with individuals getting a check in the mail for a couple of bucks and some POS law firm getting like 20 million or something. God bless the legal system. Look for an e-mail soon saying you can join the law suit if you bought a book in the timeframe effected.
Never join class action lawsuit, do it yourself with small claims court.
You will get a lot more money and usually you win because big company rather settle on such a small amount than come to court.

Megan Fox: Transsexual Posing as Alan Alda?
Megan Fox gave a bizarre interview to E!'s Giuliana DePandi Rancic on the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday night that included her physically comparing herself to Alan Alda and spewing forth other odd neuroses.
"I am pretty sure I am a doppelganger for Alan Alda. I'm a tranny. I'm a man. I'm so painfully insecure. I'm on the verge of vomiting now. I am so horrified that I am here, and embarrassed. I'm scared," she said.
Whoa! Have a glass of champagne and settle down. Alan Alda? Trannies? What?
Fox, 22, explained that her alleged fiance Brian Austin Green didn't accompany her to the ceremony because "he's a man, he has an ego" and couldn't put up with being her purse carrier.
The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star went on to brag that she has a 22-inch waist, and initially joked that it was from not eating. Way to role model, Megan. Teenage girls are slightly impressionable.
She quickly explained that Pilates was the reason for her slender figure. Which is easy to admire in this video from the front, courtesy Hollywood.TV.
Megan has the looks thing sewn up. But someone get her some sort of coach for when she has to speak in public.

A Flash Flood Warning remained in effect Friday for west central Carbon and northwestern Emery counties as a series of rain-laden thunderstorms rolled through the central Utah area.
Of particular concern to the National Weather Service were mountain slopes denuded by the 2012 Seeley Fire, where little vegetation remained to absorb heavy rainfall.
|Join the Discussion

At 1:45 p.m. Friday, the National Weather Service tweeted that a heavy rainfall had caused a debris flow on the Seeley Burn Scar that had flowed onto State Road 31 in Huntington Canyon. Additional runoff was expected through the afternoon.
Authorities were keeping a close watch over the Huntington Power Plant, upstream of the town of Huntington, the NSW said as part of the flood warning, which was issued at 8 a.m., was expected expire at 5:45 p.m.
The weather service said that during the six hours prior to 2 p.m., 0.65 inches of rain had fallen on the Seeley Burn Scar.
A Flash Flood Watch — effective Sunday afternoon through Monday afternoon — was issued for portions of eastern and southern Utah.
Widespread rainfall moving into southern Utah on Sunday was likely to bring enhanced runoff to dry washes and slot canyons, and burn scars would be at risk for debris flows, the weather service said.

Having lived in upstate New York, then Minnesota, Jon Storm knew only clean air before moving here. But after he moved to the East Valley in 2001, he began suffering from watery eyes and weekly sinus infections.
"I felt like my head was blowing up," Storm says.
Now, with three small children and a wife who lost a lung to cancer, Storm is packing up and moving to Fredonia, N.Y. Air quality was a major factor in his decision to leave.
"I like fresh air," he says.
We all need air — to the tune of 3,400 gallons per person a day. But what's the effect on the body when it lives and breathes in an area plagued by high particulate counts and ozone alerts?
"Different people react differently to air pollution," says Dr. Andrew Carroll of Renaissance Family Medical Care in Chandler. The very young, the elderly and those with respiratory problems tend to be affected most because their lungs are not fully developed or already compromised, but "in some way, shape or form everyone is affected by air pollution," Carroll says.
"I've had patients who have moved here from California that have never had problems with asthma and bronchitis before. It is kind of ironic, really, because people used to move here because of those respiratory problems," he says. Now people leave because of them.
Staying indoors during times of high pollution helps to some degree, Carroll says, but there is evidence that the most dangerous of the air pollutants, ground-level ozone, is not diminished by the climate-controlled environments.
Pulmonologist David Baratz of Pulmonary Associates says the long-term effects of air pollution aren't known — studies done in the 1970s and '80s were inconclusive — but air irritants can cause temporary narrowing of the airways and, consequently, the feeling of not being able to breathe. Wheezing is the usual result.
During high pollution advisories, active adults, children and those with respiratory problems should limit prolonged outdoor exposure — which is exactly what happens at Citadel Care Center in Mesa. Air quality is a big issue for the elderly, whose health may already be compromised.
"Of all the things that can go wrong with the elderly, the feeling that you can't breathe is incredibly frightening," says Kim LeFleur, assistant director of nursing. Many of the center's residents, average age 85, have respiratory problems as either a primary or secondary diagnosis, LeFleur says, so when a pollution advisory is issued they stay inside, where the air unit filters and recirculates air.
"Everyone should be careful" when a health watch has been posted, says Steven Owens, director of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. With a high pollution advisory, strenuous outdoor afternoon exercise should be curtailed.
Summertime — especially July and August — can be particularly bad for ground-level ozone because of vehicle emissions, hot weather, lots of sunlight and stagnant air. And it tends to accumulate more in the East Valley because of prevailing afternoon summer winds. Because ground-level ozone diminishes with temperature and sunlight, the worst time of day is afternoons until sundown.
Owens points out that the Valley typically doesn't have problems on weekends because commuter traffic is lighter. And Baratz notes there are medicines and therapies available to minimize the effects of air pollution on the lungs.
In the meantime, Owens says, Valley residents need to continue to do what they have been doing to make a difference: Telecommuting, carpooling, refueling cars on off hours and limiting use of power lawn equipment all affect air quality.
Types of pollutants
An odorless, colorless gas formed when carbon in fuel is not burned completely. Vehicle exhaust contributes up to 95 percent of carbon monoxide emissions in cities. Affected: People with cardiovascular disease and respiratory problems, young infants and fetuses. Health effects: Diminished mental alertness and vision.
Emitted by cars, industrial boilers, refineries, chemical plants and other sources that react chemically in sunlight. Affected: People of all ages who are active outdoors, particularly people with asthma. Health effects: Inflammation and damage to the lining of the lungs; repeated exposure can result in permanent scarring and loss of lung function.
A gas produced by combustion engines and a precursor to ground-level ozone. Affected: Everyone, especially young children. Health effects: Eye, nose and throat irritation.
Also known as "particulate matter," particle pollution is a mixture of solids and liquid droplets. Solids are emitted from power plants, fireplaces, forest fires, and crushing or grinding operations. Affected: People with heart or lung disease, the elderly and children. Health effects: Cardiac arrhythmia, heart attack and an inability to breath deeply.
A colorless, reactive gas produced by power plants and industrial boilers. Affected: People with asthma. Health effects: Wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath, even in healthy people. People with cardiovascular disease or chronic lung disease may experience diminished capacity of the lungs' defense mechanisms. Source: Environmental Protection Agency

The Judging Process
Screening and Judging will take place in three rounds after the close of applications on March 3, 2014. The Regional Judging and Awards Celebration will determine the Regional winners, and be hosted by FLoW in Los Angeles, May 7, 2014.
Round 1: Submissions March 3, 2014
This round will be judged online, using the iStart platform, by experts including angel investors and VCs, technology specialists, university tech transfer personnel, corporate venture experts and utilities specialists, and leaders from the service industry. Each submission will be reviewed by three judges seeking entries demonstrating a defined technology platform and a strong business concept for building a sustainable business. Contestants will be evaluated, scored and ranked according to FLoW judging criteria rubric (based on the DOE National Competition judging rubric).
After the close of submissions, applications will be divided into two judging tracks:
Ready to Commercialize
The first group will be expected to show a solid team with the beginnings of a business where IP has been identified, the strategy identified and process either begun or contemplated; the strategy for incorporation is apparent or has been implemented; and evidence of an understanding of the target market for the potential products. The judges will look for evidence that the team has contacted prospective customers and channel partners, as part of their market investigation.Judging Criteria [pdf]
Transformational Idea
In the second group which includes advanced research projects, judges will be looking for transformational potential and a major impact on the energy industry and economy. Those in this category that make it through Round 1 will be provided with mentoring and legal advice to help the team identify the commercial potential for their innovation, build the business model and set a strategy for moving forward.
There will be a special Transformational Idea Award and the chance to exhibit at the Regional Awards Final, May 7, 2014 in Los Angeles.Judging Criteria [pdf]
Round 2: Semi-finals April 4, 2014 (SoCal and NorCal)
Two semi-final rounds will be held at a university in Los Angeles and UC Berkeley respectively where California and out of state teams will compete. Teams can either attend in person or participate through Google Hangout or Skype. Panels of judges comprised of Angel investors, VCs and representatives of utilities and corporate venture funds will assess the business proposition, team quality and ability to "sell" the concept through the presentation. The format includes detailed feedback from the judges and should your team elect to attend in person, there will be opportunities to network with the judges and with other teams.
Round 3: The Regional Finals and Awards, May 7, 2014
Each of the teams will present their business plan in a formal session before Judging Panels consisting of the same profile as Round 2, and tasked with determining the first, second and third place winners. This will be followed by an evening event, including invited members of the business community celebrating all who competed.
Judging Criteria
The Judging Panels will consider the teams and their business plans under these general areas:
The Concept and Product Novelty: how much is the product a game changer — the "wow" factor! Does it solve a real problem for real customers? Can it be scaled from a working prototype to a successful commercial product, and can it be manufactured?
The Market: What is the size of market opportunity and the team's go-to-market strategy?
Financials and Profitability: Is the way your business going to earn money reasonable? Does the business strategy establish a plan to achieve profitability?
The Team: Can they execute against the business plan, and what is the quality of the leadership? What areas will require bringing in management staff, or outsiders (advisors, consultants) with different skills?
Presentation skills: The ability to convey with clarity and passion, the team's business vision.
The Technology: Does it address the cleantech areas outlined by the competition? How revolutionary is the technology and how much better than current product technologies already on the market?
Impact on EERE Mission: to strengthen the United States energy security, environmental quality and economic vitality.

Looking for free bridal shower invitations? Why not print your own using your computer printer? Here is a free wedding invitation template you can use to print the shower invitations if you are hosting a bridal shower for a friend or loved one.
This wedding invitation printable is a pdf file so you will need to download the latest Adobe Reader to read this file. I have included two files; one for those using US Letter size paper and another for International paper A4 size.
Here are the two files. Remember, these are pdf files and thus should be opened with the latest Adobe Reader. You can choose to download whichever size card stock you are using to print your invites.
As you have noticed, the first idea is just print as it is and enter in all the informations in your own handwriting and send. The card stock used should be of a heavier weight as there is no backing for these invites.
The second idea above is just to add a different card stock behind the printed invitation and the third and final is taking it a step further by adding a decorative corner design to the layered invitations by using a corner punch. You could also add some blings to it by adding a little glitter glue here and there. Not too much because minimal is better. Or instead of glitter glue, add tiny sparkling gems which you buy from any scrapbooking store.
Hope you like this bridal shower invitations and the ideas given here.
Will add more printable as soon as I create them. So bookmark this page or site to stay updated for new wedding invitation projects, tutorials and printable.

21 days to a new you: Detox your body
Eliminating toxins and possible allergens from your diet helps reduce intake of bad stuff, and by necessity, increases your intake of really great stuff, including nutritious greens, root veggies, fresh fruits and whole grains. You can do this with the supervision of a naturopath or other doctor, but you can also do your own version which will save money and introduce a lot of great habits that you may find yourself wanting to stick with after your detox period is over. Shall we begin?
By Anne Hurley for MSN Healthy Living
Day 1: Make a plan for a month of elimination
Most elimination or detox eating plans last a month, which helps give structure to your new eating plan – and your shopping list. (Try to shop for everything you'll need for the month before you get started.) Week one: Eliminate all red meat. Week two: Add poultry to what you eliminate. Week three: Eliminate all fish and seafood, and eat a completely vegetarian or vegan diet. Week four: Gradually add back in foods to your diet that you especially miss, and leave out anything that you felt better not eating.
Day 2: Resolve to eat whole foods for a month
This may be tough, but that means ditching all those convenient prepackaged foods – including microwaved meals – you love so much. Soon, you'll find it's easier than you think. Instead of buying fruit-added, sweetened yogurt, get creamy nonfat Greek yogurt, chop up your own favorite fruits (and nuts) and drizzle in a smidge of honey if you like. You'll know exactly what you're eating, which is far better for you than ingesting a lot of chemicals you don't know. Read labels; if you can't pronounce it, don't eat it.
Day 3: So long, sugar!
Cut out as much added sugar and sugary processed foods as you can. Try baked apples or fruit salads for dessert and eat lots of fresh fruit every day. As you're weaning yourself from sugar, you can indulge in a little honey here and there, but try to cut back on that as well. If you're like many of us, you could be addicted to sugar, so withdrawing from it may take a toll on your mood. The good news is it's honestly hard only for the first three days or so. After you've kicked it, you will not notice the cravings.
Day 4: Ditch the soda
That means diet as well as regular soda. There's growing evidence that the fake sweeteners and chemicals in diet pop can actually make you gain more weight than the sugar-loaded regular kind. The chemicals in the sweeteners seem to trigger the body's cravings for sweets, so you may subconsciously be reaching for the candy dish at work even more when you're chugging the diet soda. Swap in fizzy water, flavored seltzer and ice water flavored with slices of fresh lemon and cucumber.
Day 5: Switch up your caffeine choice
Give up coffee. Instead, drink green tea, which has a small amount of caffeine (so you're not likely to get those evil caffeine-withdrawal headaches) as well as a ton of amazing antioxidants. Try different varieties, too. Some Japanese and Hawaiian brands have a distinctively nutty, delicious flavor; some are blended with rose hips or freeze-dried bits of citrus for a livelier kick. Drink it hot, and brew up some iced green tea, too; you may need it to help replace soda.
Day 6: Get thee to a sauna
If your gym has a sauna, make a point of going two or three times a week, either after a workout or just on its own. Saunas are an excellent, natural way to help the body eliminate waste quickly. Try starting out at 10 minutes at a time, and work your way up if you can tolerate the heat. Saunas also help relax your body and mind and help your muscles bounce back after a workout. Just remember to stay hydrated – bring water into the sauna to sip on regularly.
Day 7: Make an appointment with a nutritionist
If you've always wondered whether you have gluten sensitivity or why you have so many migraines, a nutritionist may be able to help you with an additional, targeted plan to eliminate wheat, dairy, soy or other potentially allergenic foods. Try to resist the urge to self-diagnose where food sensitivities are concerned and get professional guidance. Nutritionists also are well-versed in creative cooking to get around food allergies.
Day 8: Make a toast to no alcohol for a month
Yes, you heard right. No liquor, wine, beer or anything else in between. This will help your liver rest up and refocus; instead of working mightily to get the alcohol's poisons out of the body, it can focus on eliminating other toxins. No pouting – taking a break from alcohol is also a good reality check to see if you feel different without drinking (and if so, how) and to see if your relationships change in any way. Bonus: You'll save a lot of cash this month, and with the extra fizzy water or juice drinks you'll be having instead, your skin is going to look amazing.
Day 9: Ditto cigarettes
I know this isn't going to be easy, but if you truly want to detox your body, you have to get it off nicotine and cigarette smoke. You already know those two things are super-toxic to the body and cause all sorts of health issues. The good news is that it doesn't have to be quite so daunting. Anyone can do almost anything for three or four weeks. If you look at it that way – as if you're conducting a science experiment on your body – you should be able to get through it. If it's just too much to do all at once, try having one cigarette every other day, and then reducing that amount as time goes by.
