"The problem of leisure, what to do for pleasure..." Marie Antoinette begins with a nudge, a wink and a lick, Kirsten Dunst's Queen of Cake reclining on a chaise lounge, staring straight at the camera as she tongues pink icing sugar off her fingers. On the soundtrack, '80s punk band Gang Of Four play 'Natural's Not In It', a furious Marxist critique of commodification, materialism and the buy-buy-buy ethos rolled into a savagely ironic three minute pop song. It's a bold opening that says: never mind the bollocks, here's Marie Antoinette.
That same punk aesthetic transforms the story of France's last queen into a whirl of costume drag, an Adam And The Ants pop video filtered through Pretty In Pink and Clueless, shot on location in the venerable republic's mothballed palaces. Iconoclastic, subversive, anachronistic, this is a biopic that's not afraid to break all the rules, damning any pretence of historical accuracy as it turns Dunst's dunce queen into a fondant fancy of flirts and skirts.
Rebellion's at the heart of Marie Antoinette, though not in the way you might expect. Yes, the closing 20 minutes shoehorn in La Révolution – the bread crisis; the storming of the Bastille; the braying mob – but it's not what the movie's interested in. Marie Antoinette's real rebellion is more personal, Coppola giving a two-fingered salute to the conventions of the genre, to those who said Lost In Translation was a fluke, even to Daddy himself.
It's not hard to read the movie as an autobiographical take on celebrity royalty, French aristocrats recast as bored suburban teens straight out of a Gus Van Sant movie (hello Jason Schwartzman). Born into one of Hollywood's most powerful film-making dynasties, Coppola knows the ennui and excess that comes with privilege. She's sucked the silver spoon of celebrity till it's rusted in her gob and this is her coming of age movie, a punk revolt that leads into artistic adulthood. No longer daddy's little girl, she's escaped her father's shadow – recast here, perhaps, as Rip Torn's philandering, bullish Louis XV. Just compare Sofia and Francis' films: Marie Antoinette is sassy, spunky, girly, funky; Coppola Snr's cinema, however magnificent it was back in the day, looks positively old-school in comparison. His idea of costume drama was the anaemic Bram Stoker's Dracula...
And so, the filmmaking crown is wrestled from father to daughter, old king replaced by young queen. In a Hollywood almost devoid of big-name female directors, Sofia Coppola towers above the competition like one of Dunst's elongated beehives. She knows what she wants and how to get it – a $40 million budget and full creative freedom on Marie Antoinette – and at just 36, she's destined for greatness. Still, it's easy to hear a hint of the filmmaker's own nervousness in that melancholy line from Louis XVI: "Dear God guide us, for we are too young to reign". Boos at Cannes from sour-faced French critics must have confirmed her worst fears, but the reality is something else: Marie Antoinette deserves to rule.

Get a mosquito bite and you'll probably incessantly scratch at it for hours with the intent of making the itching stop. Too bad scratching only makes it worse. Eventually you'll end up with an unsightly blemish and pain, making you wish you had just suffered through the itch.
The Therapik remedies the mosquito bites itch using nothing more than heat. The durable, rugged wand like device, which runs of a set of batteries, just needs to be pressed to the skin, a button pushed, and presto, no more itch. Each application, or bite, shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to remedy, though they recommend applying it for as long as you can bear the heat. If the pain persists you can use it every 60 seconds so you don't burn yourself, but worry not as it is FDA approved and it probably isn't powerful enough to do any long term damage.
At $13 you'll surely make your money back in a few summers since those anti-itch creams cost at least $5 a pop. Plus, who wants to apply messy cream when you've got something like this, which leaves no mess or residue.

Confession: I love Jackson Rathbone the most out of any actor in all of Twilight. I know, I know, whatever, whatever, it's a travesty -- Jasper was the greatest, now please see yourselves out. Not only was he creepy perfection in the movies, but he is deliciously yummy to look at. Plus, his hair is floppy, and verily, I love me some floppy locks.
Obviously this is why I went into a period of deep mourning when he announced his wedding. I'm kidding, I was totally okay with it. Mostly. Rathbone recently wed his longtime lady-friend (and baby-mama) Sheila Hafsadi. But one very sparkly vampire brother didn't make the guest list.
That's right -- Robert Pattinson didn't make the cut. But I don't think this was a deliberate slight against Robs. None of the other cast members were in attendance either. Jackson and his new bride Sheila kept the ceremony simple, small, and low-key.
If that was what they wanted, it's no wonder they nixed all the potential VIPs from the guest list. Nothing ruins your "simple wedding" like helicopters and paparazzi. Would that these were my problems, you know? I'm sure Jackson and Rob are still on the best of terms. He probably sent a gift. My money is on a fruit-basket of the month club.
Do you think Jackson deliberately dissed Rob?
Image via Instagram
Could your question be anymore stupid when you also say no one from the cast was invited?
Maby because he doesn't like sly media hogging people.if you invite RPutz he would take over, and it would be his day and not the bride and grooms.
RPutz dosent have a friendship with any of the Twilight cast,he drooped them all as soon as the show was over,he wasn't invitedon purpose,they plain dont like him since his ego got so large and it seems to keep growing. He seems to feel he is better than every one else.The wanted there own day not a RPutz day

The flock started from a Wisconsin wildlife area in October and their destination was the Florida wetlands.
The crew had tried several
times to get the birds to follow the aircraft since mid-December
including most recently Jan. 29, but the birds have not been

Typical MINI design, re-interpreted and concentrating on the essential.Thanks to its clear design language, the body of the MINI Beachcomber Concept concentrating on the essential leaves no doubts that this is a genuine MINI. Unmistakable design elements reminiscent of the brand stand out clearly at first sight. And like on the MINI Crossover Concept presented for the first time at the Paris Motor Show in autumn 2008, the new model clearly reflects the ongoing process of MINI design and the introduction of MINI design language in a new type of vehicle. Indeed, both the smooth and firm design of the body and proportions typical of MINI show once again that this is clearly a member of the range.
Short overhangs front and rear as well as the wide wheel stance likewise bear the overall look of the brand on the MINI Beachcomber Concept. Here again, therefore, the new model comes with characteristic MINI design features at the front, side and rear re-interpreted on the new model. The extra-wide body frame even encompassing the wheel arches and extending down to the road emphasizes the robust flair and character of this all-wheel-drive concept study. And thanks to greater ground clearance, the advantage of short overhangs front and rear comes out even more on rough terrain, allowing a particularly large ramp angle for even the toughest requirements.
Extending to the front in a dynamic sweep, the entire front section of the car is angled towards the road. The engine compartment lid is powerfully chiseled, the powerdome with its integrated air insert symbolizing the outstanding muscle and performance of the turbocharged engine within the car.
The hexagon radiator grille again so typical of MINI comes with contour lines carried over directly from the front look of the Mini Moke. With its vertical position, three robust crossbars and additional integrated headlights, the radiator grille gives the MINI Beachcomber Concept particularly powerful and convincing presence.
The large, three-dimensional headlight units integrated in the engine compartment lid as a new interpretation of a characteristic design feature also boast a striking look.
Accentuated by the classy chrome frame, the headlights follow the contours of the engine compartment lid and wheel arches, again confirming the increase in stature and spaciousness over the MINI models available so far. A large air intake at the bottom and foglamps moved far to the outside, finally, round off the front view of the car again in that unique style so typical of MINI.
Side view: new combination of robust strength and lightweight look.Extending far into the side of the car, the headlights additionally emphasize the short front overhang. The powerfully designed wheel arches on the MINI Beachcomber Concept boast large 17-inch light-alloy wheels and offroad tires with a rough tread.
The surrounds on the side direction indicators again so typical of MINI come for the first time in a diagonal shape in the extended A-pillar, creating a wide band in distinctive color precisely at the same point as on the classic Mini and now forming an optical connection between the windscreen frame and the front wheels. This graphic element again underlines the solidity of the MINI Beachcomber Concept with its A-pillars appearing to rest powerfully on the front axle. At the rear the rollbar forms an equally direct line extending towards the rear axle of the car.
Massive side-sills along the front and rear entry points interact with the dark body frame to add a further touch of robustness, while the free view offered into the interior emphasizes the lightness and agility of this concept car. Stylized push button elements around the entry point, like on the MINI Moke, indicate the option to fit a simple and straightforward cover for bad weather. The actual fastening and adjustment points for the soft roof, on the other hand, are not even visible from outside.
The graphic look of the rear end is formed in particular by the asymmetric design of the luggage compartment, the door element on the left and the storage case fitted on the outside symbolizing the superior versatility of the car while the open section on the left emphasizes the lightness and spontaneous functionality of the entire concept.
Over and above these specific features, the MINI Beachcomber Concept naturally comes with other design elements at the rear typical of the brand as such. The rear light clusters fitting like islands into the side panels, for example, stand upright and are surrounded by a wide band of chrome. Further down, the rear end is dominated by horizontal lines interacting with the muscular wheel arches to emphasize the sheer width of the car and its powerful stance on the road.
With the roof closed this convincing look of power and muscle is further accentuated by the growing width of the car in steps from top to bottom. The numberplate surround takes up the design and contours of the front air intake, while the rear air dam rounded off at the bottom again in typical MINI style comes with a robust underfloor protection element.

Public [Security Serial] (61) 21
[To] Premier [Zhou Enlai] and Comrades [Deng] Xiaoping and Peng Zhen:
On the night of 9 May [1961], the Public Security Department of Liaoning Province reported by telegram that since [the beginning of] this year, there has been an increase of ethnic Korean residents crossing the border through Gulouzi, Hushan, the suburbs of Jiulian City, Langtao, and Anning in Andong [Dandong] to [North] Korea. The illegal crossings have developed from individuals and single households crossing secretly at night to groups attempting to forcibly cross the border during the day. According to incomplete statistics, between January and April we have found 240 households and 1,471 people attempting to cross the border; of these, 715 people made it across the border to [North] Korea, but the rest were stopped. This trend has continued into May, and, as of 8 May, 350 people have been stopped [crossing the border]. On the night of 8 May and on the morning of 9 May, we discovered two groups of fifty people at Jiulian City, thirty of them armed with wooden clubs and iron cudgels. Most of the people crossing the border are peasants; there are, however, also small numbers of the five social elements and smugglers. These people are from Andong, Anshan, Fushun, Benxi, and Luda [Lüshun-Dalian]. It has been said that there are also people from Jilin, Heilongjiang, Beijing and Tianjin. Recently, we have also found people from Anshan, Shenyang, and the surrounding areas who are actively preparing to go to [North] Korea. There are also 1,843 ethnic Korean households in Andong which are preparing to move to [North] Korea, and, of these, 153 households have already sold all of their property and have attempted to illegally cross the border.
The Public Security Department in Liaoning Province believes that the present increase in border crossings among ethnic Koreans is due to the following:An inadequate understanding of the temporary difficulties [in China], improper living arrangements, and the habit among ethnic Koreans to move around.
[Ideological] education for ethnic Korean residents has not been kept up.
The [North] Korean government has not returned border crossers as stipulated by the Sino-Korean Border Defense Agreement. [Furthermore,] individuals who have already crossed the border are influencing those who that have not by writing letters. The [North] Korean government has even established reception centers along border crossing routes; while single Han [Chinese] men have been returned in a timely manner, whole families that crossed the border were settled on agricultural communes. Every laborer was given 40 yuan as a settling-in allowance and a fixed amount of grain. These measures have had a great effect upon the Korean minority in China.
Bad elements have been instigating [border crossings].
The Liaoning Public Security Office proposed five measures [to resolve] this issue:Under unified leadership at all Party committees, begin making living arrangements, strengthen [ideological] education, and calm the morale [of ethnic Koreans].
Strengthen interception work [at the border].
Monitor the activities of bad elements through investigations and studies; first resolve internal contradictions among the people, and then resolve the contradictions between us and the enemy.
For those that were intercepted while crossing the border, make proper living arrangements, offer financial assistance to return home, and fix any problems they have in production or their livelihood.
In accordance with the stipulations of the Sino-Korean Border Defense Agreement, open negotiations with the [North] Korean side to immediately settle the issue of returning residents who have crossed the border. According to reports of the Liaoning Public Security Department, border defense representatives from Andong traveled to Shineuiju [Sinuiju] twice in early March and late April to discuss the return of border crossers with the [North] Korean side. The [North] Korean side's response was that "these people are currently receiving [ideological] education, but the Chinese side's opinion will be reported to [North Korean] superiors."
We have already [instructed] the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department to actively work on stabilizing people's lives and strengthening [ideological] education work under the instruction of the Party Committee. [We are] still awaiting instructions on negotiations with the [North] Koreans. We are presently studying the matter with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The above is a briefing.

Printable Flash Cards
These printable Spanish/English flash cards are helpful for teaching Spanish or English to adults and children. The Spanish genders and accents should be correct, but if I've overlooked an error, let me know.
The Spanish Flash Card Pages
The English Flash Card Pages
You may want to glue the cards to index cards so they will be uniform in size, this makes them more durable too! After the student can recognize the Spanish words fairly well, you can write the word on the back of each card, the student can then turn the card over to view the picture in order to check himself. You can also print both sets of cards for the beginning student and then place them together with the English version on one side and the Spanish on the other.
Some Preschool students have used these cards to learn their beginning reading words.
I developed this site when I was leaning Spanish and was unable to find printable flashcards. Occasionally teachers or students send suggestions for additional categories. Feel free to continue sending suggestions and I will add additional pages as time allows.

No city match.
The Teana from the inside feels extremely rich. It has got leather finish on the steering and a general wood finish (available only on the top variant 250XV) making it look very pleasant. The Teana's strongpoint has always been the simplicity and calmness that the cabin exudes not to mention excellent levels of fit and finish. If you are one of those who prefer to relax in the comfort of a plush leather armchair, then the Teana would be just about perfect for you. The front-passenger seat has a small button, which when pressed, lifts up a leg rest – giving you the feeling of a first-class seat in an airplane. The generous rear seats are quite comfortable with ample space, so that even a six-footer can easily stretch out and get comfortable easily. (However, the Superb still takes the cake when it comes to sheer rear-legroom). The centre-armrest has cup-holders which can hold two fairly glasses. However when you'd want to go three-up at the rear the folded in armrest could be a problem since it juts out from the seat squab, making the rear seat of the Teana supremely comfortable for just two people. Flip the armrest panel and you have access to the boot.
On the top-end variant we drove, the steering wheel comes with audio and cruise control, and we feel that the low-spec variant should also have these as standard. The cabin looks sophisticated and the theme follows through right down to the easily readable white-backlit instrument cluster. The large orange-on black information display makes reading effortless even on a bright sunny day, which isn't the case in a few other cars. This screen, apart from displaying the currently played track, also shows the AC temperature, exterior temperature and time, in an easy-to-read, large legible font. The buttons on the central console (which work the air-conditioning and the audio system) are large and ergonomically placed. The car also sports a rear powered sunshade that would save the rear passengers from the intense sunshine if you're based in a hot city. Features on the Teana include: 8-way electrically powered driver's seat; 4-way electrically powered front passenger's seat; powered rear sun shade; active head rests; 6 CD-changer with 6-speakers and a twin exhaust. Talking about the safety, the base variant of the Teana has dual airbags for the front row passengers and the fully loaded model comes with six airbags which includes the front two, the curtain and side airbags. One very important feature that's missing in the Teana are parking sensors which is a must in today's congested parking lots – especially when you've got such a large car (and that bulbous rear that packs in more than enough boot space!) to manoeuvre into tight spots.

Satisfaction isn't absolute
As a creative person, I strive to do the best I can. And my very best is never enough. I set out to make my imaginations a reality, but along the way - through collaborations, partnerships, delegation and a multitude of other struggles/obstacles - the original thought/idea gets lost. Rather, it gets obscured. What I set out to achieve, is very different from the end result. And I've begun to realise that it happens to everyone. So, the work we spend a lifetime perfecting is meaningless. Okay, maybe that's too harsh. Let's try that again.
The work we spend a lifetime perfecting, is never going to be perfect. And I need to accept that. But it's the hardest thing to accept. How do you tell yourself that what you imagine isn't possible? At least, the exact way you imagined it to be. Compromises are inescapable.
Filmmaking is a joint effort. It's about choosing the right team and people to work with. So do the best you can, and try translating that in your work. No one is content. And that's what drives us - the hope that someday, we can be entirely satisfied with our output. So I rather strive to be the best I can be with what I have to work with.
Joy is overrated.

If President Bush wants to be remembered by everyone for doing something courageous, he ought to choose a moderate to replace Justice O'Connor on the Supreme Court.
Richard Amrhine's archive
E-mail Richard Amrhine
By RICHARD AMRHINE
Five years later, when Chief Justice Warren Burger announced his retirement, Reagan chose to move Justice William H. Rehnquist up, and to nominate Scalia as the associate justice to replace him.
History suggests that even though Republicans still owned the Senate, the ultra-conservative Scalia cleared confirmation without a fight largely because so much attention was focused on Rehnquist's promotion. We know now that Rehnquist is a relative moderate compared to Scalia.
Reagan's third opportunity came when Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. resigned in June 1987. In the eight months between the ill-fated nomination of Bork, and Kennedy's confirmation in February 1988, the fallout from the Iran-Contra scandal took hold, and the Republicans were swept out of the Senate, trading their six-seat majority for a 10-seat minority
Kennedy was not a conservative zealot, but was Reagan's loyal and trusted friend--not unlike what Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is to Bush. As a moderate, Kennedy was a crowd-pleaser, which is what Bush needs. Gonzales, on the other hand, seems to antagonize almost everyone. Kennedy often has voted with the court's conservative bloc, but has been on both sides of the abortion issue.
President Bush doesn't like to discuss these thoughts about Supreme Court nominees except to say that he favors a "strict constructionist," which has become a euphemism for an anti-abortion view because there is no mention of abortion rights per se in the Constitution.
Nor is there any mention in the Constitution of property rights on the moon, or exploitation of the Internet, because the founding fathers had no reason to consider such issues.
The president is said to be more concerned about whether his nominees would be effective in dispensing justice, than about their positions on abortion and other hot-button issues.
But while the president may insist he has no nominee "litmus test" on abortion, gay rights, or affirmative action, senators and their constituents do. He would do well not to choose someone with a record that says "ideological lightning rod."
When the time comes to replace Rehnquist, Bush will need to decide whether to nominate a new chief justice, or to follow Reagan's example and move a current justice up.

The Starbucks 2013 planner giveaway!
EXTENDED! Until Monday, January 14, 2013!
Christmas is the season of giving. I know we're well past Christmas and into the new year already, but we must remember that Christmas in the Philippines doesn't end at 12 midnight on December 26th!
I managed to acquire a second Starbucks planner for 2013 (because I am a coffee junkie), and I thought that it would be perfect to kick off the new year with some good vibes by holding a blog giveaway!
Because (emerald) green is the color of 2013, I decided it would be only fitting that the giveaway planner be GREEN! No photo of the planner itself as we would like to keep it wrapped to ensure that it's in mint condition once we give it to the lucky winner, but just to prove it's green, a photo of the tag!
We also wanted to prove that we wouldn't be taking out the freebies the planner comes with, because that would just defeat the purpose of being generous! Instead, know that all the photos in this blog post are of my own Starbucks 2013 planner, so worry not. :)
I think there is a lot to love about this year's planner. The bookmark is actually a magnet in the shape of a Starbucks to-go cup (that you can probably write on with your favorite customizations for a drink at the back), there are additional coupons aside from the usual for every month of the year, and the design of the cover and pages are clean and classic.
Perhaps my favorite part of the planner is actually the corner of the pages. I wonder if anyone noticed that it's actually a flip-book of sorts? Isn't that clever? I was immediately taken when I cracked open my planner! It reminded me of what I used to do to my textbooks in elementary school.
This year's Starbucks planner is all about sharing. Aside from the statements about being generous (try cracking your planner open to January 17, February 1, or March 22), the text on the backside of the coupons have an underlying message of "please gift this coupon to someone else!", encouraging you to well, gift them to someone else!
Sharing isn't limited to material things — one thing we all love to share are moments. These are just some of my favorite pages from the planner, but I chose to show these specifically because this is where I now tell you how you can get a chance to win this Starbucks 2013 planner:
Share your favorite & personal Starbucks Coffee story from 2012 in the form of a comment under this blog post and not in Facebook. Include a picture to help tell your story, if you like! Don't forget to include your name and email address so we can contact you!
We will pick our favorite story, and announce the winner on Thursday, January 10 so be sure to comment with your stories on or before Wednesday, January 9!

- The Starbucks 2013 planner was acquired through personal means, and often over shared moments with people we love.

Gold gains after G-20 meeting
Prices settle higher after the weekend summit leaves the US dollar in decline.
By Andrea Tse, TheStreet
Gold prices settled higher Monday after the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Korea this weekend conveyed to investors the likelihood that the U.S. dollar would come under continuing pressure.
Gold for December delivery settled up $13.80 to $1,338.90 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold Monday traded as high $1,349.50 and as low as $1,329.30.
The U.S. dollar index was falling 0.5% to $77.09, while the euro was up 0.1% to $1.40 against the dollar. The spot gold price was rising more than $12, according to Kitco's gold index.
On Monday, the U.S. dollar resumed its downward trend after finance ministers and central bank governors at the G20 meeting agreed not to pursue further currency devaluations. However, they didn't reach a consensus on outlining objectives for shrinking trade imbalances -- proposed by the U.S.
"The G20's hardened stance towards exchange rates has been interpreted as dollar-negative and should now defer further talk of 'currency wars,' and with it the threat of concerted central bank action to stem the downward moves in the dollar and take the heat out of the fast appreciating emerging market currencies," RBC Wealth Management's senior vice president and financial consultant George Gero explained in a report.
"With this threat receding for now, it makes further downward moves in the greenback more likely, in view of the fact that pretty much everyone expects the U.S. to now announce its second round of quantitative easing, thus injecting some much-needed inflation (bullish for the commodities)."
Still, Gero noted that RBC believes that the dollar decline is losing steam and will recover value towards the end of the year, whether or not another round of quantitative easing occurs.
Gold remained firmly in positive territory even as the National Association of Realtors said existing-home sales climbed 10% in September to 4.53 million from 4.12 million in August, exceeding expectations for September sales of 4.25 million, according to Briefing.com.
On Monday, Fed Research chairman Ben Bernanke spoke at a housing and foreclosures conference in Virginia. A key takeaway: Bernanke said next month U.S. financial regulators will be releasing a report scrutinizing foreclosure procedures at financial institutions.
However, he did not take any questions after his remarks and didn't make any direct references to monetary policy.
In a daily report, EverBank World Markets president Chuck Butler said he was surprised by the sell-off in gold and silver last week because he's been of the view that the widely talked about "currency war" would bolster the metals as they retained wealth and currencies went to zero. "Hmmm. Confusing," Butler said. "But confusion only leads to clarification. So just stick with the diversification plan, and you'll be able to ride out confusion that sets into the markets every now and then!"
Silver prices settled 43 cents higher at $23.54 per ounce, while copper gained 7 cents to $3.86 per pound.
A group of gold mining stocks, a risky but sometimes more profitable way to buy gold, were mostly higher Monday afternoon.
Barrick Gold (ABX) was gaining 1.2% to $46.52, while New Gold (NGD) was climbing 4.6% to $6.88. Newmont Mining (NEM) was slipping 0.1% to $59.30, and Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) was adding 1.5% at $71.38.

A new kind of social network
Social networking has become one of the most powerful communication tools in the world for the past few years and I have been thinking of how this power could be used in a more meaningful way.
I have come up with an idea for a website and organization that is parallel to ones like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter yet remain in a completely different category all its own.
This website would allow users to use their lifetime goals and interests and create a universal "To-Do" list of their life. Everyone has dreams of doing things. Many of these things could change people's lives in a positive way but never actually work out. The network would allow people with similar goals and interests to communicate and share stories of their lives to help inspire others to do the same.
The website could be used as a way to track your lifes accomplishments and keep you accountable, yet determined to fulfill your previously established goals. The site would be based off Person-to-Person support and would help all ages remain on track toward acheiving their goals. I feel too many well intentioned ideas go unnoticed and are "left to fulfill in the future". Whether its to simply learn a new language, lose a few pounds, or find that special someone or to fulfill ones wildest dreams of traveling the world, helping third world countries, or becoming someone that made a difference in society, this site would connect people in a whole new way, finally breathing life into a once unfulfilled dream.
I myself think that this would be an amazing way to keep positive influence among everyone, everywhere.

Ian GordonJul 20 2011: Robin Sharma is another in a long line of 'feel-good' , charismatic types that get rich telling stories of success. I just watched several of his little talks, and found out that to be successful, all I have to do is be extraordinarily good at my job, an amazing communicator, extremely hard working, get up a 5am every day to beat the competition, get super-fit, be 101% enthusiastic..........and it goes on.Well hey, if only I'd known how easy it was! What amazing 'secrets'But he is entertaining, and tells nice little anecdotes and throws in plenty of wise or encouraging quotes, and talks with very small pauses between sentences so you get a little hypnotised; so now he's a guru.I went through one of these courses with Anthony Robbins: Get the Edge book & CD's. The 'hour of power' in the morning, goal setting, self-belief, inner voice/emotions and all that. I did feel better and made some positive changes, so I give credit to their power to inspire, but it's nothing new. The wisdom is as old as the hills, so it is deceitful to market it as something you must buy if you want success. Maybe you can do something where you're applying the info, not just re-packaging it. But it will need good structure, as was mentioned earlier, because a sea of information about how this person got rich and that person got fit soon becomes boring.I don't think you need a new social networking site to achieve your goals. You need self-discipline, and that comes from within. Networks are obviously good for info. sharing and putting groups together though, so you could do something like that. But in my case, most of my goals have changed and continue to evolve, so trying to hold myself to old goals would be couter-productive. Something more practical would be better, like if you want to join a band, you type in 'join a band' and everyone else who wants to join a band pops up - what do you know, you've got a band, maybe. Keep the ideas coming! :)
Matt HintzkeJul 20 2011: Ian, you pretty much embraced exactly what I would like to do. I do NOT want to be a guru of any kind and give advice for people. I am 20 years old and have next to no life experience so I would not be the best to give people advice. However, I really like the idea of combining a social network with something that can actually do the world better and like you said about the "join a band" idea, I want to make it very user friendly to the point where you can add photos, videos, blogs, ect just like facebook, but at the same time keep an important goal at hand.
Lets say someone wants to visit Italy. You could use the site to develop a step by step process on how to do so. Pricing, flights, hotels, things to do, who to do it with, other peoples experiences there. To take the entire idea as a whole and help people fulfill that goal. You could set reminders for such things like "Look up flight prices" or even simple things like "Brush your teeth". It could be integrated into Microsoft Outlook so that people can recieve email notifications and alerts using the calender synced up with the website.
Or, say your goal is to have $1,000,000 in savings by the time you retire at say, age 65. There could be PROFESSIONAL apps that can actually help you acheive that goal. Telling you how much you need to save a year and what kind of investments would be good.
From my point of view, we have enough technology to create a website that can do pretty much anything. However, there is a difference between having an idea and being able to make it come true. I have little experience in web developing and am currently trying to change that.
David LJul 21 2011: Matt!
Just read some of the thread and some of the comments around it! Also checked out that successnation web site.
I think your idea is really good. The problem i see, every "goal-group" will need atleast one person who take on a lot of work with a huge amount of enthusiasm. Basicly because so many people dream about things... future goals, etc. But are way to lazy to do anything about it. So your biggest problem, that i can think of right now, will not be to make people stop just follow, but to make them take action and start leading.
There are forums all over the internet which covers most questions people have. But very few of them acually provides any social aspect around theis questions, except typing with an anonymous bunch of people. Basicly just fact trading. However can you get this fact trading to "come to life"? To be the same amount (or a little less) about facts meanwhile people connect with eachother.
Another question, what happens when the "leading" type, which often take on the most responsiblity, moves on. Maybe goes out on that "around the world travel".
Keeps poping up questions. How can you get this forum to become less superficial. Most people want to connect with other. Sure they have their mutal goal. And probably will find out that they have even more incommon. That will probably happen to some. But how can you get the mass to join. Which i think is crucial to make this social network last and grow to something more than a wonderful idea.
Maybe this idea could work if the website is very usefriendly and make it very simple for anyone to create and lead their thread/group. But i think it will be very hard to compete with Facebook and other social networks.
Maybe you could use this idea as a base thought to build a new one which could be an app for facebook for example. They could need some new ideas on that section!
Matt HintzkeJul 21 2011: David,
You have brought up some good points. I have been thinking about how I would keep people interested and not lose sight of their goals, but at the same time keep the website fairly simple. Thats why I would think it would be interesting to bring work and play together by letting it be a serious place where people can express their desires to do things in their life, but also a place to just chat with interesting people, post videos, photos and write small blogs about their experiences.
I actually thought of a cool little feature that could be implemented; a fully interactive timeline of each persons life that would appear at the top of their profile page. The timeline would show all major events that that user wants the world to see including education, jobs, vacations, and other important moments in his or her life. Visiting users could then hover over and click on parts of the timeline which would link them to a more detailed description of the event.
Another idea, to implement a StumbleUpon-like feature that allows users to check mark interests and then be allowed to randomly browse the thousands of events other users have done that correlate to that specific interest. Example: Say one person is interested in Guitars and they build an electric guitar out of scratch as a project in their life, they then post this project on the website with pictures and details of what they did. Metatags would then be used to place that "event" under specific tags like DIY and Guitar. Now another member gets on this feature and checks the box saying they are interested in Guitars. Now when they, for lack of a better word, "stumble" through that interest, the first users page about their guitar building experience will pop up and can be viewed.
I would see this as a great way to not only give people new ideas that others have done, but also motivate them because they can say, "Hey, if he can do it, why can't I".

Curtis Harwell & Kim Duke Discuss Everything You Need To Know About Protein
in Fitness
Good Protein Sources
Protein can help you shed those unwanted pounds -- and keep your belly full. But it's important to eat the right amount and the right kind of protein to get its health benefits.
Seafood is an excellent source of protein because it's usually low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat, but it is the heart-healthy kind: it has omega-3 fatty acids.
White-Meat Poultry
Stick to the white meat of poultry for excellent, lean protein. Dark meat is a little higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove skin before cooking.
Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt
Not only are dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt excellent sources of protein, but they also contain valuable calcium, and many are fortified with vitamin D. Choose skim or low-fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong and help prevent osteoporosis.
Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of protein. The American Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a day.
One-half cup of beans contains as much protein as an ounce of broiled steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full for hours.
Pork Tenderloin
This great and versatile white meat is 31% leaner than it was 20 years ago.
Fifty grams of soy protein daily can help lower cholesterol by about 3%. Eating soy protein instead of sources of higher-fat protein -- and maintaining a healthy diet -- can be good for your heart.
Research shows that including a source of protein like an egg or Greek yogurt at breakfast along with a high-fiber grain like whole wheat toast can help you feel full longer and eat less throughout the day.

Leaving the Pounds Behind without GUILT!
in Lifestyle
In health circles there has been much recent talk about acid /alkaline imbalance. Let's see if we can clarify how experts recommend we correct this imbalance.
The problem:
Your body functions best when neither too acid nor too alkaline. Unfortunately almost all of us have become acidic due to diet, drinks and stress -- both psychological and from pollution. Acids can build up in our body, causing systems to be out of balance.
The effects:
According to Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky, "Acid wastes build up in the body in the form of cholesterol, gallstones, kidney stones, arterial plaque, urates, phosphates and sulfates. These acidic waste products are the direct cause of premature aging and the onset of chronic disease."
When this occurs, the body will restore its optimal pH by depleting certain minerals, such as potassium, calcium and magnesium, from organs and bones. In addition, your immune system may become fatigued from dealing with an excess of acid. Your body then stores acidic wastes in 'hiding places' such as muscles etc. rather than releasing the acids into the bloodstream.

We encourage students, families and friends, school groups, companies, and organizations to form teams. Many of our walkers have faced breast cancer. Some are newly diagnosed, some are still in treatment, many are years beyond their diagnosis. Others have lost loved ones to the disease while others have no personal connection but want to help ensure that progress against the disease continues.
In addition to walkers, we need volunteers to help before the event and day of the event, and sponsors to underwrite expenses and provide in-kind services.

[Dararan biyori -Riakkuma seikatsu 2] was released Nov.2004.Dararan is the blend that Rilakkuma says often. Maybe it means lazy and enjoy. Dara means lazy. Ran is the voice like tra-la-la that we say when we are enjoy. Biyori means "fine weather". So, title means "fine weather to be lazy and have fun".
Korilakkuma debuted in this book! So There are many Rilakkuma's monologues related to Korilakkuma. In this book Rilakkuma's monologues are not only lazy but also having fun with someone special like this:
Someone you can be happy with is very precious.(If you have someone whom you can be relaxed and happy with, you should cherish him/her.)
"なにを食べるか より どう食べるか だと 思いません?"
Do you think it's important "How we eat" than "What we eat"? (Happy dinner or not depends on how to eat including who you eat with, what you are talking. Not depends on how gorgeous dinner you eat.)
"ほめて ほめて ほめて"
Praise praise and praise.(Praise is very important!)
What will be,will be./ That's the way things are.
The first Rilakkuma seikatsu book focuses Rilakkuma's lazy and easy going life. But this book also focuses the relationship of Rilakkuma Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori. In our life there are much problems about relationship. Sometimes we may think these problems bother us too much!!
But Rilakkuma tells you if the someone bothers you it's not that big problem. It's a very big pleasure that you can be with someone who makes you relax and has fun with you. So you should respect each other!

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Parking problems along Flagler Avenue led the Planning and Zoning Board's concerns at its Feb. 4 meeting.
"The issue of parking availability in the area of Flagler Avenue has been an issue for some time. As Flagler Avenue becomes more vibrant and economically successful, the issue of parking becomes more pressing," according to a Sept. 11 report by the Flagler Avenue/Beachside Parking Inventory and Initiative.
"The parking issue on Flagler is kind of tied to this board ... as far as zoning is concerned," said City Planner Travous Dever, a non-voting member of the Parking Systems Task Force, which is tasked with solving parking issues in the city and along Flagler Avenue in particular.
The task force is expected to give a recommendation on resolving the parking problem along Flagler Avenue to the City Commission by April, Mr. Dever said. "We need to figure out what direction we want Flagler to go. There are going to be requests and suggestions on how to address parking in that area."
Planning Manager Gail Henrikson suggested the issue be brought up at the next City Commission meeting on Feb 21. "The commission may be moving on this as early as this summer," Ms. Henrikson said.
According to Mr. Dever, there are several options the task force is researching to deal with the problem. Among them is a controversial parking garage, creating one-way streets to alleviate traffic flow and issuing parking passes to residents of the area. Other options also are being considered, Mr. Dever said, but didn't elaborate further.
Ms. Henrikson pointed out that even though paving a parking lot wasn't required for that area, developers would still have to put in a storm drainage system and level the land, which would be a substantial cost. "Currently there is nothing in the budget specifically for that," she said.
Dever suggested a joint meeting between the P&Z Board and the Task Force to discuss the issue and review options. Ms. Henrikson said she would try to set one up for March. The next Parking Task Force meeting is at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Brannon Center, 105 S. Riverside Drive, and Mr. Dever urged board members to attend.
In other business, the board approved an amendment to the Colony Park project with two stipulations; that outstanding items discussed in previous meetings be addressed and the 50 percent open space requirement be added back into the amendment. "Somehow that was inadvertently omitted in one of the previous drafts," Ms. Henrikson said.
Colony Park LLC is spearheading the development of about 40 acres just east of Home Depot and plans include Mullinax Ford, and several other businesses and restaurants. Mullinax Ford has been granted a clearing permit and applied for building permits. Clearing of land could begin within the next two weeks.
In private meetings between the city, and Colony Park LLC, a deal was hashed out resolving the language of the development agreement that was tailor made for this specific project, according to Ms. Henrikson. The dispute was largely over the wording concerning about 12 acres purchased by Volusia County and several proposed changes to minor details mostly involving architectural requirements. The developer agreed to the stipulations and the county was satisfied with the new wording concerning the 12 acres 'donated' by the developer for tree preservation. Glenn Storch, attorney for the owner, said, "bottom line is this solves the problem with the county and for the city."
The project has met with public opposition since it was proposed according to past recorded P&Z board meeting minutes. Dozens of people in the community have attended meetings and voiced their objections, but there were none raised by the public at this meeting.
With the approval of the amendment, the P&Z board will make its recommendation to the City Commission, which will have readings of the proposal on Feb. 26 and March 12. Meanwhile, the developer can go ahead with clearing the land. Construction will not begin until the amendment is approved by the City Commission and final building permits are issued. However the developer is hoping to have Mullinax Ford in its new building by October, Ms. Henrikson said.

How To: Make Your Digital Photos Look Like Polaroids
Who said that Polaroid is dead? Ok, we did, but even though you can't get the film or the cameras anymore doesn't mean you can't replicate the unique polaroid look. If you are looking for another option to making your photos look old then click through to see what the poladroid (with a d) can do.
The thick white borders, slightly hazy edges and even the texture of the paper is captured with this fun little app. The picture even 'develops' before your eyes after coming out of the camera. I tried grabbing and shaking it to see if that helped anything, but I don't think it did. Did bring back memories though.
Check out Poladroid and get snapping. This would make for a nice series of photos to throw up on the wall.

In fashion accessories news, jewelry designed by Erica Anenberg is all the rave in celebrity fashion circles these days. Anenberg makes jewelry that is young, fresh, different, and unexpected. She introduced the world to the "twosome" ring, which goes over two fingers at once, for example. It's a style that's been seen on stars like Jessica Alba, and her designs in general are favored by stars like Rihanna, Lenny Kravitz, Pink, and Drew Barrymore.
The reason her designs are making such a splash in the world of celebrity fashion trends is that they are the very opposite of stuffy "estate" jewelry, but are instead innocent, sexy, and elegant. She's drawn raves from media outlets like People, Fine Jewelry News, InStyle, and Marie Claire. No less a stellar figure than Sir Elton John ordered 1,000 of Anenberg's specialty key chains to include in his gift bags for the Academy Awards Governor's Ball.
There is no question that Anenberg is a rising star and a darling of the popular media. She is also a talented photographer who trained and earned a degree from Cal State Northridge. In addition to her fashion accessories, she's designed stained glass windows for L.A.'s Kabbalah Center Synagogue, and designed the stained-glass ice bar for the Oscars, as well as keepsakes for guests at the Emmy Awards.
One standout design is her "Blind Faith" ring. It is a silver plated ring with the phrase "Blind Faith" in Braile, and the plain text etched on the inside. This is a stirring and unique take on the plain silver band, and would make a lovely unconventional wedding ring. Her necklaces range from the playful (such as "candy heart" inspired pendants) to the sublime, with one lovely 18-inch light blue suede necklace featuring a 1-inch 14K gold plated charm reading "sacred."
These are very different from traditional jewelry, and a welcome change to an elegant, approachable, meaningful look. As fashion trends go, this one looks poised to stick around. Erica Anenberg's jewelry is available at high-end retailers in the US and Japan, including Kitson, who claim Anenberg as their top-selling designer of accessories. You should see for yourself what all the fuss is about at her website, www.ericaanenberg.com.
