Rails Responders: Versioning an API
Disclaimer: Not sure if this is a good idea or not, but so far I like it. Let me know what you think about this on twitter @jhsu or comment on my gist.
In order to version an API I decided to try and follow what conventions I could. I decided to do something similar to Github and what's talked about in Versioning Your APIs by setting the version in the headers 'Accept' param and putting 'v1' in the vnd suffix (is that what is called?).
Using Responders' functionality that
ActionController::Responder makes use of, I created a custom responder to determine the version of the API during a request and using the decorator pattern (through the draper gem) to have different decorators for each version and each resource.

Sorry, I'm new here. I know Viuhkola well, I've seen him play for about 5 years now. Please take in consideration that he has to change his style a little as he will be trying his wings in the NHL so it might take time, but this guy's a stud. Actually, he's more of a god here in Northern Finland. For his old team, he's been the guy who would never let you down (he was also the K�rp�t captain). He takes the face-offs, (was in the top 3 if not the best in the league) does the PK and PP and he was on the ice during the last two minutes in the playoff semifinals 2007, when we were down one goal, one man and when our goalie was on the bench. And he scored.
no offense, but really, how many of us have seen him play? viuhkola could be a 4th liner, a checker, a solid face-off guy, or maybe a great point producer in the NHL. Most, if not all of us dont know this guy at all. The coaching staff will be trying to figure out how his game translates to NA now, during camp. We will have to wait and see before we just assume he gonna be on the 4th line.
He doesn't really hit often, so he can't be called a grinder. But he does hit hard. And he's a "defense first" - type of player, but definitely doesn't lack any offensive skills. He practices hard, was always one of last to leave the ice.
His only flaw - his skating looks lazy. He isn't that slow, he just looks like he is. In Finland, he had no hurry, rarely was he challenged with the puck, and if he was, nobody could get it away. Sometimes he'd just float through the whole ice with the puck just for fun, and then pass the puck away to a winger. We K�rp�t fans knew him as Maestro. He can score, but his best weapon is his great eye for the game and those passes. I don't know what it's called in English, but in Finnish they're called "l�tty". They're flat, low-flying hard shots straight to your stick blade.
I'll repeat it once again, I don't know how he will turn out in the NHL. But the guy's a legend here. And he's a nice person off-ice too, very down-to-earth and friendly (might be shy when speaking English though).
Here's some of his accomplishments:
World Championship Silver 2007
World Championship Bronze 2006
Finnish Champion 03/04, 04/05, 06/07
IIHF European Champions Cup Silver 04/05, 05/06
U18 European Championship Silver 1998
Matti Keinonen Trophy for best +/- stats 03/04

Situated in the heart of the Dang district, and perched at an altitude of 1000 m, Satpura gets its name from the several images of snakes present on the shores of the River Sarpagana that flows through the towns which are worshipped by the tribals here on special occasions like Holi. A beautiful hill station known for its cool bracing climate and scenic views of the verdant valley, Satpura is one of those well developed hills known to have all the necessary amenities like parks, swimming pools, theaters, ropeways even a boat club and a museum, attracting tourists to this place for the peace and tranquility that it offers.
Attraction in Satpura
Home to some scenic view points, one which attracts tourists for its magnificent view is the Sunrise Point. A view point that offers not just spectacular views of the sunrise but also of the valley at any time of the day, there are suggestions that the Sunrise Point be renamed as Valley View Point! Said to be a point which offers the best view of Saputara and adjoining Malegoan, pull out your trekking shoes for it can be reached after a walk of 1.5 km in the direction of Waghai.
Providing some magnificent views of the Dang forest, another view point that cannot be missed is the Sunset point. For wildlife enthusiasts, there's plenty to be excited about! However don't forget to get prior permission from the Chief Wildlife Warden, of Gandhinagar or DFO, Ahwa for here are some parks you don't want to miss! Though comparetiively smaller than other parks, covering an area of 24 sq kms, the Vansda National Park originally a private forest of the Maharaja of Vansada, is one of the main attractions here, known for its tigers, leopards, rusty-spotted cat, pangolin, python, giant squirrel, and other animals.
The Purna Santuary is another not-to-be-missed! Covering an area of 160 km, situated at Mahal, 60 km north of Dangs, this sanctuary a part of a dense moist deciduous forest in the Western Ghat, is a trekker's paradise, complete with bamboo-lined pathways for trekkers.
Adding beauty to an already beautiful hill station and excellent picnic spots are its gardens like the Rose Garden, Lake Garden and Step Garden. The Step Garden being the most popular garden here, set up in steps, its design and layout is known to be unique. On the steps are plants and flowerpots with wooden work around it to support it. The place is also known for its Forest Hut, which provides visitors with a comfortable stay amidst the garden. While the Rose Garden is known for the variety of roses found here, another garden attracting tourists is the Lake Garden on the banks of Saputara Lake. Here one can find different types of boats like paddling boats, rowing, motor boats etc by the various boat clubs present along the lake. It is here that you also get a spectacular view of the Saputara region.
Besides boating another fun activity one can try out here is the Ropeway, a ten minutes ride across the valley to the sunset point organised by Hotel Vaity.
Offering peace and tranquility to its visitors is the Nageswar Mahadev Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and the Unnai Mata temple about 19 kms away from Waghai, while the museum provides an insight to the lives of the Dang tribe.
At just 52 km from Saputara, the Gira Waterfalls, is another popular attraction most tourists heading to Satpura must visit especially if visiting during the months of June to November. Moving ahead at a distance of 60 km from Saputara the Mahal Bardipura forest offers some amazing and exciting walking and trekking trails.
How to Reach
Cool throughout the year, this place is a refreshing break if you're looking for a short getaway, and can be easily accessed by Road, rail or air. While the nearest airport is in Surat some 172 km away, Billimora is the most convenient railhead at 80 km away from Satpura. By road, buses ply from Chikhli, Billimora, Nasik and Surat.
An extremely charming and beautiful place, it comes alive during the monsoons when the rains add to the magic of the place, lending its sparkle to a state already known as a jewel!

Dairy powders are used extensively as functional ingredients in food products. They have a highly variable composition in terms of proteins, fat and moisture content, and as such are traditionally characterized by solvent extraction of the fat followed by chromatographic separation of proteins and lactose. Although, these methods are accurate they are time-consuming and costly. This application note discusses the use of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) as a valuable technique for the identification of dairy ingredients, along with demonstrating that the Agilent Cary 630 ATR-FTIR Analyzer can rapidly differentiate α-lactalbumin from other dairy ingredients.

So, these are the cupcakes I made for a birthday party on Friday. (Had I known they wanted them for Friday, I would of made them Thursday instead, but woo, poor communication.)
Brooklyn will be either five or six, if I remember right. One of my sister's little friends, and a niece to my next door neighbor, Ms. Crystal. (As me and mommy call her.)
Finding anything Hello Kitty is kind of a pain, especially in the cake/baking department. So all those Hello Kitties are actually Party Invitation cut-out's that I hand cut one by one over the course of like an hour.
It's a simple white cake with strawberry frosting. I was given frosting to use, so I mixed in some cool whip to make it more…well, less like goop, and more like frosting. (and it tasted amazing, let me tell you.)
I added some edible pink spray, and pearls. Then had the decore purple frosting to use over the tops of some of the cupcakes. Over all they were super simple to make. I think they're adorable. And Ms. Monica, Brooklynn's mother, simply adored them too and said she'd love them. I hope to hear back from her on Friday of her reaction to them, since they're going to be a surprise until the party. <3

Yamaha NCX1200R Acoustic-Electric Classical Guitar
View All Recently Viewed Items
The cutaway body design offers extended playability making the NCX1200R perfect for a wide range of styles.
Yamaha NCX1200R Acoustic-Electric Classical Guitar
The Yamaha NCX1200R guitar inherits many of the characteristics of classical guitars, such as fingerboard width, neck shape, body thickness, and 12th fret joint. Its cutaway bodies and lower string height offer more flexible playability. The NCX line is designed to provide not only classical guitarists with an instrument that is a pleasure to play, but other guitarists playing a wide range of musical styles from flamenco to Latin to popular, and much more. The Yamaha NCX1200R offers all the sophistication of a classical guitar along with outstanding, playability, and rich, high-quality tone in a truly professional acoustic guitar. It starts with a solid Sitka spruce top, for warm, balanced tone. The neck is African mahogany, while the back and sides are rosewood. Rosewood is a tropical hardwood that has long been the material of choice for acoustic guitar sides and backs. Harder and heavier than maple, it provides firm support for the guitar's resonating top and delivers rich, well-balanced overtones. Its warm quality is perfect for nylon string tone. Classical, flamenco, Latin, or pop, whatever your style, these guitars play and sound great thanks to a traditional design ready to accommodate a wide range of playing styles. The neck shape is identical to that on a classical guitar. The NCX1200R's bracing design focuses on delivering the best of nylon-string tone, with warmth and excellent response. It produces a well-balanced tone over the instrument's entire range and enables this acoustic-electric guitars to accommodate a wide range of playing and musical stylesThe NCX1200R classical guitar also features the A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement), an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha. Through precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the molecular properties of the wood can be manipulated into a more acoustically ideal condition, similar to the molecular characteristics of woods in instruments that have been played for years. In NX Series guitars, this treatment results in a sound close to that of a vintage guitar that has been played for years. It produces a sharper tone while simultaneously controlling dissonance in the high range. Instruments that have undergone this process have received high marks from a great number of musicians. Their evaluations are nearly identical to those for guitars that have been played for years, and their comments often include terms such as "well settled," "mature," "warm," "excellent resonance," and "clear."Yamaha's ART (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) pickup system is purpose designed to offer the most natural, dynamic and expressive electro-acoustic sound on the market. Proprietary multi-layer contact sensors perfectly combine ultra-wide dynamic range with outstanding feedback rejection for the most accurate and natural performance sound. The Yamaha guitar uses a 2-way system with contact pickups mounted on the treble and bass sides of the guitar bridge. To reduce unwanted feedback caused by vibration the NX Series contact pickup uses an additional multilayer damper to ensure the tone is captured in its purest form. Complementing the warm, full mid-range of the nylon-string tone, the System 61 preamp allows individual volume control over the treble and bass side pickups, allowing you to get the perfect blend for your style. The System 61 preamp also features a 3-band EQ for sound shaping and an on-board tuner. Includes a foam case.

I drifted like a ghost
Among the blackened ruins.
Trying to remember laughter,
And the joy once here,
All I see now are
The darkened stones.
Charred remains mocking
The majesty of the past,
And I wonder how
Such destruction exists.
No colors, only shades,
As though it's all
Dressed for mourning.
Yet…what is that?
There, amid the ruin,
And the fallen glory,
In the darkness
And piled up ashes,
There is a small green
A flower, to be exact,
Half buried but
Still so determined.
A growing hope
In a harsh, dark place,
Saying "I'm still alive,
Despite the destruction."
New life, new hope.
New dreams,
A rebuilding on top
Of broken foundations.

…has sad tidings for the star of "Quantum Leap":
Mark Shea's Blog: So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!
…has sad tidings for the star of "Quantum Leap":
I'm missing the joke. Did Scott Bakula star in a vampire movie?
Nope. Just a silly rhyme.
(Mark, when I view this it extends over into the vertical column on the right, making the "Bakula" line hard to see….could be just my computer, but maybe a reason Dr. Eric didn't see the joke. Which is a good knee-slapper, BTW.)
Yes, there seems to be some formatting issue. The Gargoyle Code ad is blocking the image of Scott Bakula.
OK. I could make out the image of the local boy who made good. He's from St. Louis.

Keep Your Kids Out of My Neighborhood!
Please ... don't come knocking on my door for a treat this Halloween. Enough with this waste of a holiday.
Childlessandlovinit: I don't get Halloween: Are you seriously spending money on decorating your house and yard with crap like oversized spiders and noises coming from the door? The neighborhood looks like a total mess. I thought I'd be relieved of it this year, given the fact that we are in a recession. Apparently, most of you still think spending $25 on a cheap slutty costume for your ten-year-old is money well spent. It ain't. And what's more...
*Tossing eggs at ongoing cars is NOT funny -- it is dangerous. Plus, I couldn't get that crap off my windshield for like, a year. Disgusting.
*As if there aren't enough kids in my neighborhood, do they have to bring in a whole van full of more kids?! What, they don't have candy where you live?
*If the lights are off at my house, that is a sign that I am either not home ... or I do not want to open the door (probably the latter). So stop peeking through the windows -- there is no candy here, trust me.
*Why would you encourage your kids to go around the neighborhood and collect a pillowcase (that's a whole other thing ... the pillowcase -- what, because it's bigger than any bag? OMG!) full of candy, when they're already overweight (and hyper) enough?!
*If for some reason I accidentally open the door (to take out the garbage for example), just so you know, ONLY wearing a mask doesn't count. And those homemade costume thingies? No. Get a real one.
*Halloween happens on October 31 only, ok? You don't have to dress up the entire week before hand. It's bad enough I have had to brave the supermarket looking at oversized bags of candy for an entire month! Pfft ... it takes forever to get to the healthy foods.
*If after five minutes no one has come to the door -- STOP KNOCKING! I am trying to watch "Friday Night Lights" in peace!
*Dressing up at the office? I'm not even going to address this one. You look like a total tool. Did someone say something about an "office parade?" I'd rather have a root canal.
*Ummm ... trick or treating is for children. Parents, leave your bags (pillowcases) at home -- you look desperate.And wait, what? You are leaving work EARLY to celebrate Halloween? Whaaa??
*It's 8 PM do you know where your teenage kids are? If they are not home, they're probably TP'ing someone's house. Hasn't Halloween been enough of an environmental waste already?
*Please spare me from having to look at pictures of your kids in their costumes. No, they are not cuuuuuute. OK?!
Too Funny! I agree with you. I am not a fan of Halloween and I don't want kids knocking on my door.
Yeah, and I bet you don't like the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, or the Tooth Fairy either! You probably don't know how to have fun, and if you smiled your face would probably crack. I bet your just an old depressed scrouge who didn't have a happy childhood and it's spread into your adult life. I feel sorry for you, your pathetic! Leave your porch light off and you won't have to worry about anyone knocking on it, it's that simple.
I agree with you 100 percent, Pam. It's no wonder this Halloween Hater gets slammed with eggs. This person doesn't know what fun is. And, if you hate Halloween so much, why don't you just go out for the night so you won't have to hear any knocking at your door?? Halloween is a fun holiday and is meant for the kids to enjoy. As for the pillowcase, it's used because paper bags tend to get holes in them and the candy falls out. So, get a life, Mr. Grinch. And, don't celebrate ANY holidays. Perhaps if you lightened up just a little bit (or if you weren't so selfish—because I believe the only reason people choose not to have any kids is because they are way too selfish), you might smile just once. If your life sucks as bad as it sounds, and you hate little children, go jump off a bridge and end your pathetic miserable life!!!
I'd rather see a home-made costume than another piece of mass-produced crap any day of the week.
omg this is too funny lol
office parade—-totally!
Oh—and anyone who says they are Childlessandlovinit has no idea about the joys of parenthood. I seriously doubt that this person is loving being childless; more likely, is unable to have any children and, therefore, decided to hate all children as well as the activities that children participate in. And, if this so-called childless person loves being childless so much, why in the heck is this person even in this site, titled "MOM LOGIC"? Think about it.
What a hateful person you are! It is a good thing yourchildlessandlovinit your most likely wonderinwhyI'mmanless too. This entire post is the rant of a very mean person.
I agree with you that children should not egg cars, when the lights are off it means to leave you alone and parents should not van children into the neighborhood.
Bashing on homemade costumes and children who love to dress up during the week before. You have to be kidding me making costumes with your child is a wonderful thing to do together.
Please stay childless because a grinch like you should nevr have kids!
Holy cow lady! You are nuts! This is a time of year for kids to get dressed up and have fun, it has been for years, unless you're too old to remember it. So what if neighbors put decorations out, it's their money, NOT yours. Oh and P.S. what will stimulate the economy? Oh, that's right, putting money into the economy. As for carrying pillow cases, I did that all the time. Why use something I have to throw away when I can use a pillow case of mine. It's called being cheap. My son is going out for the first time this year, we are all excited. Let us know where you live so we can stay far away from there. Holy cow. Get a life. P.S. I am putting the finishing touches on my childs costume right now. We are going to have a blast.
your just mad because your too old to go trick or treating… I cant say i blame you… free candy rocks and i miss it myself.
Well I don't think fat kids should go out on halloween. Spare tire by the age of 7 anyone?
Sorry you had nothing else to do but blog about people having fun and annoying you while they do it. I guess the the thrill of being a corpse can't come soon enough for you?
geen, they should not be allowed??? No matter what? Because their fat is offensive to you??? There is a girl in my neighboorhood that rides her bike A LOT, everyday, hangs out with my son and her brother running, climbing trees. Very active girl. And also very chubby. Their mother is super into healthy eating so much so they are not allowed ANY packaged foods (no, I'm not saying this is wrong I'm saying it's amazing she cooks EVERYTHING from scratch) and she is very active. Should she have been kept from trick or treating??? How about at Christmas if a child has more than three toys in their room. Should they be allowed to have more presents? And who gets to decide what is and isn't allowed??? This is AMERICA and I have family that have died to keep it free. So please, you and that person in another section that wrote we should have raids on the kitchens of fat families whenver we like keep your opinions and your judgements to yourself.
Egg her house, kids!
You criticize them for spending 25 bucks on a costume then for making home made costumes… are they supposed to go around naked?
Just ignore it if it bothers you that much. Some people enjoy Halloween. Some of my best childhood memories are from walking around my neighborhood getting scared and given candy.
What a sad little life you must lead. I pity your lack of spirit, absent sense of humor, and complete disdain for all things creative and/or fun, not to mention the ignorance you've exhibited by posting blatant hypocrisy and contradiction all within the confines of one poorly written blog post.
god damn people its a fun day leave it like that… and keep fat people out of it thay have done nothing to you. go to another conutry and mabey then you'll understand how lucky we all are
Halloween is a holiday just for the fun of it. this is the whiniest, bitchiest thing i have ever read. try to have some fun instead of complaining.
p.s. its also a holiday about creativity. so stop bitching about the homemade costumes
While I respect your views and opinions, I disagree with your thoughts on home made costumes. I think that the fun of Halloween is making your own costumes and getting excited about it. Spending money on a pre-designed and made costume is lazy and really does take the fun out of Halloween.
why are you on a mom website if you're childless and lovin it? get a life you grouchy betch

Planned Parenthood Shares Tutorial of How to Cover Up Beatings on Its Teen Facebook (VIDEO)
Do you ever see something, and then just repeat the word 'sick' over and over in your brain and maybe out loud too? That happened to me today when I saw a video linked on Planned Parenthood's 'Info for Teens' Facebook page instructing abused teenage girls how to use makeup to disguise bruises.
The girl in the video suffers from a black eye and split lip, and she matter-of-factly shows the viewer how to layer makeup appropriately to hide any injuries occurred as a result of domestic abuse.
Among other advice, the video host recommends using concealer to "hide any splits from watches or rings" and wearing a scarf for covering any strangulation marks on your neck. As for her black eye, she remarks, "If you've got a lot of bruisin' from being pushed hard against a coffee table, you can gently apply layer after layer, and you will cover it up slightly ... it might hurt."
The video ends abruptly as a noise is heard off camera, and a message is shown --
65% of women who suffer domestic violence keep it hidden ... don't cover it up.
The video is intended to be part of a campaign to end domestic violence, but the way it is promoted on Planned Parenthood's Facebook page -- how to look your best the morning after -- is appalling. They make no effort in the post to change the title of the video or comment on its hideous inappropriateness. As LifeNews.com points out, "That headline makes a world of difference to young teens who run across the video."
Screenshot of Planned Parenthood's 'Info for Teens' Facebook page
Whether or not this video was intended for shock value to raise awareness, or as an actual instructional piece, I think it's abhorrent. It's like reading a teen magazine article about anorexia or bulimia full of tips and tricks on how to better starve yourself and/or hide your symptoms. There are ways to raise awareness about issues without giving girls instructions on how to go further down a destructive path.
Watch the video and see for yourself:
Do you think it's appropriate for Planned Parenthood to put a link to this video on their 'Info for Teens' Facebook page?

Did you even bother watching the video to the end to see that it is speaking out AGAINST domestic violence before you wrote this article? Lauren Luke made this to bring awareness to women hiding their abuse and Planned Parenthood posted the video to bring awareness to young women who relate to putting on makeup, who might be abused and who might have already covered their bruises before. Yes, I think it's totally appropriate for them to have posted this! You have to reach out to victims in any way that you can.

guest1985December 7, 2012 at 1:49 PMI think the point is for people who might actually google a video to find these tips will actually be directed to get help instead. Planned Parenthood doing something awesome?! Not shocking :)

Park333December 7, 2012 at 1:54 PMYou're right, directing those who might actually search for this to a place that can help them with their situation is crazy! Sike. Guess you probably agree with this woman http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2244347/Outrage-Fox-commentator-Dana-Perino-says-female-victims-domestic-violence-make-better-decisions-avoid-getting-hurt.html

Stephanie SmytheDecember 7, 2012 at 1:55 PMSeriously? You took this as a legitimate video truly attempting to show girls how to effectively cover their bruising and hide acts of violence against them? After watching the video that is not the message that I got. I thought the video was very well done and that the stark message it intended to present absolutely came through.

GuestDecember 7, 2012 at 1:57 PMThey're not glorifying it you dingus. They're asking what a person would do if it was their friend who posted a video like this. If it was their friend getting beat and who thought they had to cover it up or became so delusional that they thought it was ok to cover it up. Would they call her out on it? Help her? Ignore her?
Are you really that thick? This article was reaching, even for you. And that's saying something.

You actually are scraping the bottom of the lunatic barrel now. This video is really striking, it's a brilliant awareness campaign. If YOU choose to read something that isn't there so be it, but don't try make it sound credible, we aren't buying it.

This video is blatantly obvious in it's message. I am a little confused as to how anyone could misunderstand the intent? Even down the abrupt ending and the panicked look on her face.

SaraDecember 7, 2012 at 2:01 PMDid the writer of this article even watch the video?? Domestic abuse among teen relationships is rampant and needs to be addressed. This video has been commended many times because it starts the conversations that women need to have in order to get out of abusive relationships and shows them they aren't alone. I agree with Christina, totally appropriate.

Classic. Would you rather have Nancy Reagan shake her bony finger and smile, "Just Say No," or Michelle Obama do a "Let's Move" how-to-pack-a-suitcase-in-under-30-seconds PSA? Why are you so resistant to acknowledging the realities of abuse as a teaching awareness tool? Do you really think this is a tutorial on how to cover it up and live the life? You think people are that dumb? I agree with others here, top to bottom.
- --
PinkmaniDecember 7, 2012 at 2:07 PM
Oh, silly Jenny!!! Why am I not surprised? The controversial title is to get girls to watch the video. Obviously, it's going to get more views than a video titled, "Domestic Violence PSA".
It's just like bloggers at The Stir use controversial/misleading titles to get more views and comments. You should know that, you do it all the time, Jenny.

The Entrepreneurial Journey Is Not For Just Anyone: Brace Yourself For The Rollercoaster
by Jonathan Jacobs on 10/09/13 at 7:00 am
2 comments
I truly believe you should count yourself lucky if you find yourself in those larger than life shoes of the entrepreneur, but the entrepreneurial journey is not designed for just anyone.
The journey in most cases started with a dissatisfaction of not getting your way in the corporate you worked for. Maybe an anal boss pushed you away (let me not become this). Maybe retrenchment. Maybe retirement. Maybe you just wanted to solve a problem.
So, more than likely, the journey started on a rough patch. Sacrifices were made, then more sacrifices were made and then, more.
Yet all the while the light at the end of the tunnel seemed microscopic.
You were tenacious and you pursued your entrepreneurial cause. In the back of your mind you were wondering: "When am I getting my break? Any break will do!"
The break did not come when you expected it, but eventually it came. Things moved on smoothly for a while and life was good. Good clients. Good cash-flow. Good business. Life was blissful!
Then things began to slide. Customers did not pay, complaints from staff about other staff, you dug into your mortgage bond for moral support.
And things could not have been worse, but you knew your capabilities and slogged to get out of the trough you were in. Then suddenly: Tadaaa! This is what you signed up for. You realised: this is the entrepreneurial journey. Continuous ups and downs, peaks and troughs. Believe me, you're not alone. Most entrepreneurs will immediately identify with this. You put one step forward but get knocked three steps back.
Entrepreneurship is not smooth sailing all the time. You will have downturns, I guarantee you this. But in the same breath, I guarantee you will swing up again if you stick at it.
Prepare mentally for these wild ups and downs. Most entrepreneurs go into a state of despair when things go down and life as it were crumbles. Often the effects of a downturn are catastrophic on a business. As an entrepreneur you are not immune to these fluctuations, even the most successful entrepreneurs have experienced the ebb and flow of business.
The reality check is that your business will experience difficulties. In winter you know that you will most likely catch a cold, so you can either wait for the cold or prop yourself up with vitamin C. When the bug strikes your body already has the defensive strategy in place, so recovery time is much quicker.
So, in order to weather the inevitable business winter, here's one takeout from this article that I implore you to retain: develop a financial buffer of 6 months of your overhead cost. This may take some time to do. Attempt to reduce you expenditure by 20% every month, so when the downturn strikes you can quickly adapt to lean mode. Test concepts or new business ideas with contract staff first before you offer permanent employment. Ask your banker for a loan or overdraft facility when times are good. You will need it.
Doctor's orders! Start now with your Vitamin C pills to prevent that nasty cold. Your business health will show for it.

Chapter 201 Reviews
Run run as fast as you can, you can't catch me im the vampire man!
Joe and Andy went upstairs to the guest room and fell asleep, while Patrick stayed downstairs in the livingroom on the couch. As tired as he was, he wasn't going to go to sleep that easily. Hours passed by with nothing. He waited for that moment when Pete would open the door and walk in. He repeated that thought over and over again until his mind couldn't take it anymore. Eventually his body gave in, and he fell asleep.
Pete limped down the street, keeping his eyes on the ground. He looked down at his watch and he knew he had to get home; knowing all too well the sun would be rising very soon. It was hard to think of how he got away. He mostly believed it was luck. Yeah, he was strong, and he was quick, but that can only get you so far.
He was surrounded in a matter of seconds after Patrick had left. Where ever he looked was a pair of eyes locked onto his. They were closing in fast. Of corse he didn't run. He couldn't run. Yet.
Keeping an eye on all of them was going to be impossible, so he focused on one at a time. He was out-numbered by many, but he tried to make the best of the situation. It certainly wasn't the first time he had been surrounded, and managed to get out somehow.
First he focused on one of them. He killed them one at a time, but they just kept coming. And there it was, an opening in the vicious crowd. Thats when he ran. Now he was here. Somewhere on the other side of town, with not a clue where he was or how he was going to get home. This would deffinately take some time to figure out. Hopefully not the amount of time it takes for the sun to rise.
He thought for a moment, trying to figure out where he was. It became obvious after a few moments of thinking about it. He had been here before a few weeks ago when driving through town, now the only thing to do was remember how he got home. Or, he could just use his vampire senses to get back home. He figured that would be the best way.
Although injured, he managed to get half way across town in a little over fifteen minutes. Thats when he saw the house. Ignoring the pain, he ran down the street. He could already see the sun rising in the distance. He could already feel the heat from the burning rays. This made him run even faster to the door. The sun was coming up even more. He began to scream in pain as the rays burnt into his skin.
After turning the knob, it was then he realized it had been locked. He banged repeatedly on the door, screaming for help all the while.
"Patrick!!! Open the door!" He screamed.
Patrick awoke with a startel, and realized the banging on the door, had in fact, not been a dream. It was in fact very real. He heard the muffled screams outside and wondered for a moment if he should open the door. But then he realized the screams had been Pete.
He rushed to the door and flung it open. No sooner, Pete dove onto the floor and rolled back and forth franticly, in attempt to put out the fire scortching his back.
"Close the door!" He yelled. Patrick snapped back to reality and slammed the door. He jumped down on the floor and patted Pete's back, trying to help put out the small fire. Eventually, the fire was out.
Patrick took a moment to soak in everything that had just happened. Realizing his best friend was back and not lying dead in a ditch, he began to feel overjoyed.
"Pete! Oh my god, i'm so glad your alright." He leaned down and hugged his friend.
Pete hugged back. "Thanks man. It's good to be back." He continued to lay on the floor and took a deep breath.
"Do you have any band-aids?"

Clearly the Baltimore Ravens have had more success than the Washington Redskins. The Ravens also have arguably a much better and well kept front office structure as well. As a Skins fan, it sucks to say that but is true. As a matter of fact, I applaud them on all their recent success.
But John Harbaugh said this in a recent interview, via the Washington Post:
"I'm looking forward to a lot of things in the offseason I'm excited about being here. I really am grateful and appreciative to be the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens; to be associated with Baltimore football. Now three years here, being part of this fan base, it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life. I love the Baltimore Raven fans. We're reaching out and trying to get more. We're trying to take control of this whole area. We'll take over Washington D.C. while we're at it. And head up into Pennsylvania and grab all those fans, and over to West Virginia and Virginia. Come on and be a Baltimore Raven fan because this is an exciting organization and exciting football team."
When said in context, it isn't as threatening, but is it something to really worry about if you are the Redskins top brass?

Pain comes in all forms: the small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain, the normal pains we live with every day. Then there's the kind of pain we can't ignore: a level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else, makes the rest of the world fade away until all we can think about is how much we hurt. How we manage our pain is up to us. Pain. We anesthetize, ride it out, embrace it, ignore it… And for some of us, the best way to manage pain is to just push through it. - Grey's Anatomy (via julie911) (via quote-book)from quote-book
Moon in the Window | Dorianne Laux
I wish I could say I was the kind of child
who watched the moon from her window,
would turn toward it and wonder.
I never wondered. I read. Dark signs
that crawled toward the edge of the page.
It took me years to grow a heart
from paper and glue. All I had
was a flashlight, bright as the moon,
a white hole blazing beneath the sheets.

Swap Meet Update - December 6, 2011
For reason not fully understood, the NSRC Swap Meet of the Air has not been as sucessful as hoped. Therefore the event as previously run will be discontinued. In its place will be an informal exchange by persons wishing to buy, sell or trade items.
A general call will be made for those interested parties to express their desires. The net control operator will then call on them for pertinent information.
On a trial basis, these "Mini-swapmeets" will be held weekly. Now there will be no need to try and remember which week the meet will be held. Listen in at 8 PM to the NSRC's Thursday evening net for this an other items of interest to Ham Radio.

2. Propose Specific Fiscal Targets.
Promises to "reduce the deficit" are important, but reassuring markets will require presenting a roadmap of how to do so. The first step in this is coming up with a set of goals – specific fiscal targets which a candidate plans to achieve. The target might include reaching a specific debt-to-GDP level, reducing the deficit by a certain amount, hitting a specific deficit target (for example, a balanced budget by a certain date), or specific revenue and spending levels. Targets should be comprehensible to the public, translatable into specific policy recommendations, and accountable against actual results.
Putting forth such targets can help to focus the public's and the political system's attention on the issue while bringing credibility and transparency to the often empty calls for fiscal responsibility on the campaign trail.A specific fiscal target can become a rallying cry to help gain public and political support for beginning the difficult process of getting on the path to fiscal sustainability.

- Line crates and carriers
- Dry wet paws and fur
- Protect car seats
- Protect floors if your dog
is incontinent
Keep a training pad by the door on rainy days. When your dog comes inside, briefly place him on the pad to clean his paws.
HARTZ® makes dog training easy with
Hartz® Home Protection™ Training Pads
Hartz® Home Protection™ Training Pads with Flash-Dry® technology give you peace of mind by preventing run-offs, tracking and leaking. Our
6-layer Construction provides you with an optimal training pad.
Housebreaking a dog with training pads is simple with these steps:
- Unfold and place pad, blue plastic side down, in a confined area.
- Place your puppy or dog on the pad several times so it can smell the pad and get used to it Keep in mind that your puppy must relieve itself every few hours on average based on his age (a 2 month old puppy every 2 hours, 3 month old every 3 hours etc ...)
- If your pet relieves itself somewhere else, bring him back to the pad immediately. Continue bringing your pet back to the pad to reinforce that this is the place to soil.
- While your dog is eliminating on the pad, use phrases like "go potty" so that eventually you can use the command and your dog will understand what it means.
- When the dog relieves himself on the pad, praise him lavishly and reward him with a treat. Treating is key to training success because as it is the only way your dog will understand that he is doing what you want him to do.
- Dispose of soiled pads and replace as needed.
- Once your pet has learned to relieve himself on the pad, gradually begin moving the pad closer to the door and finally outdoors to complete the training process.
Hartz® Home Protection™ Training Pads are ideal for puppies and dogs that stay indoors
for long periods of time.
Follow the Housebreaking instructions, steps 1-6 to train your dog for ongoing indoor use.

>> Ordinary people sometime think that sankirtana devotees are just like
>> mundane salesmen who are out to sell their product by hook or by crook.
>> Sometimes, they even accuse the devotees to be cunning or cheater.
>> Here is one story about how a devotee dealt with the issue.
I had a similar experience once while distributing hard bound Bhagavatams on the street outside a post office in a small town here in Sweden. A lady with a retarded daughter passed by and the young girl grabbed the book I offered the mother. The girl refused adamnantly to return the book to me despite her mother's repeated enteaties. The mother had little choice but to ask me the price. I gave it at the minimum BBT price. A little later from the distance I spotted a gentleman headed toward me with a book in hand. Expecting trouble I met him politely. He was enraged, loudly claiming I had cheated his wife, demanding their money back. He also complained that, "this book is not even in Swedish." (which it *was* not including the sanskrit, of course). Calmly, I assured the man I would return the laxmi. "Please however first just look at any page in the book and see if it is in Swedish or not", I requested. He consented to open the 3rd canto Bhagavatam by chance to chapter 11 and read aloud to me verse 31:
"My dear King, just consider what I have said to you, which will act as medicinal treatment upon disease. Control your anger, for anger is the foremost enemy on the path of spiritual realisation. I wish you all good fortune for you. Please follow my instructions."
He closed the book, put it under his arm and walked away taking with him the advice of Svayambhuva Manu to Dhruva Maharaja.
Your servant, Yogindra das

Yes, you can surrender your property and get a few hundred or thousand dollars in exchange. This may not be a win-win situation for you, but it is a way to make the most out of a bad situation. Cash for Keys simply means that the borrower/mortgagor is willing to surrender the property to the lender/mortgagor in exchange for cash. This article will discuss several ways by which the same can be utilized to your advantage.
Why are banks willing to shell out money when there is a reasonable certainty that the property will fall in their hands anyway? There are several reasons. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
- A home owner can refuse to vacate
- A home owner can file a dispute
- A home owner can file for bankruptcy
- A homeowner can vandalize the property before leaving.
The first and second reasons in particular, will ruin the value of the property. This is because occupation with no thought of repairs plus vandalism will ruin an otherwise beautiful foreclosure home. Paying cash in exchange for an amicable, sometimes immediate surrender of the property is more economical and practical for lenders.
Before considering cash for keys, you need to exhaust every other remedy that will allow you to keep the home, i.e. bankruptcy, loan modification, refinance, etc. If however, no viable option is available and losing the home is imminent, you must approach the bank to request for a little bit of cash in exchange for moving and amicably settling the dispute. Make sure you are surrendering the property for TOTAL condonation of ALL your debts with that Lender/Mortgagor!
Take Care of the Property
After you approach the bank to request cash for keys, the latter will send a representative to inspect the premises. Make sure the home looks absolutely spotless. This increases the urgency of not having the home vandalized. Of course do not pay for costly expenses just to make the home presentable. Just keep it clean and well organized.
How Much Can You Get?
The key question is how much is the right price? The author does not really know because the amount varies depending on the value of the home and the negotiating skills of the borrower/mortgagor. At the very least, you will get enough to pay a couple of month's rent plus advance and deposit. The most successful homeowners negotiated with the bank for a move out fee. This includes removal of personal property without ruining the realty to which it is attached. This meant a move out premium plus payment for movers, cleaners after vacating, boarding up the home, and even necessary repairs before move out. The important thing is to include any and all expense relevant to move out. Don't forget a reasonable quote of a rental property suitable for your purposes.
What if You Are Only a Lessee?
If your landlord tells you to move out because the property is to be foreclosed, you must insist on getting your advance and deposit from that landlord. Next, you want to contact the lender and inform the same that you possess the property and that you are requesting a move out fee. Do not threaten to vandalize the property if the same is not given. Politely reason out that move out is expensive and without enough money to do so, you may inadvertently damage the property when removing personal belongings. The lender will understand what you actually mean.
Be Ready to Move Out As Soon As Possible
In most cases, lenders will pay a premium for immediate surrender. Tell your lender this is possible but you need more funds to make the move. Otherwise, you are still going to move out, but it will take a little bit longer.
Be Polite, Never Threaten!
Always be polite when dealing with the bank or lender. In order to make the most out of a bad situation, you need to show the bank you are sincere and willing, but lack the capacity to move out in a proper and timely manner. Never ever blackmail or insist because your own words maybe used to make you liable for any damage, intentional or not. For more information about cash for keys i.e. letter of intent, negotiation tips, where to find movers, etc., you can contact a foreclosure specialist or credit counselor.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The Sheboygan Police Department has formally recommended a reckless homicide charge against a 31 year old Sheboygan man for a heroin overdose death from last July.
Captain Jim Veeser said the charge stems from the July 19 incident that killed a 30 year old Sheboygan woman. Subsequent information has determined the man provided the narcotics to the victim prior to her death.
Veeser said the suspect has been in the Sheboygan County Detention Center since July 30 due to other drug related charges and is currently on probation.

Ok, this seriously takes Instagram to a whole new level. With over 50 million users (Android and iOS combined), there seems to be nothing that can stop Instagram from photo domination. German designer Markus Gerkes has created the first ever "Instaglasses" concept. Seemingly slick shades at first glance that are built with an implanted 5mp camera in them with a fliter adjuster on the side brim of the glasses.
The Instaglasses feature Wi-Fi and 3G, 2GB of onboard storage (not sure why you would need this since Instagram photos are stored in the cloud) and a seven hour battery life. Pretty cool, right? We give these a hot! What you YOU think?
Hot or Not?
Sometimes I worry about the world. Seriously? Instagram sunglasses? It doesn't get a whole lot more hipster,...
Thts hot!

This is Candice Crawford, Miss Missouri USA 2008. She and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo were wed Saturday in Dallas. Not in this outfit. | AP
Article Extras
Updated: May 31, 2011 12:16AM
The Tony Romo-Candice Crawford wedding definitely was tasteful.
Certainly as far as the cuisine at the affair went Saturday evening in Dallas. It appears the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and the former Miss Missouri like ribs and pizza.
Wedding planner Todd Fiscus told WFAA-TV the party-goers dined on short ribs, and the reception included a pizza bar.
''We did lots of man food,'' he said.
A source told Us magazine, ''The wedding cake was almost as tall as the ceiling. It was huge!''
Not that anyone went home hungry. The goodie bag that guests received was food-themed.
Romo called the signals for the night's music.
"Tony picked out every song, and when it plays, and what the keynote things are," Fiscus told WFAA-TV.
Former Eastern Illinois University QB Romo is 31. His bride is 24 and the sister of ''Gossip Girl'' actor Chace Crawford. Guests numbered approximately 600.
''This lockout has been quite a dent in the honeymoon idea,'' the bride told WFAA-TV. ''We'll see. We haven't really gotten there yet. We're taking a day at a time with the lockout. We [are not] even sure if we're gonna get to go [on] one.''
Such problems.

Fashion Pudsey
For Children in Need this year 12 fashion designers have each created their own Fashion Pudsey Bear, which will be auctioned on eBay from tomorrow to raise money for BBC Children in Need. Designers include Giles Deacon, Mulberry, Patrick Grant, Jonathan Saunders, Liberty, Katie Hillier and Erdem.Mulberry's creative director Emma Hill explained how she created a leather bear at the Mulberry factory in deepest Somerset. 'The Mulberry Fashion Pudsey is inspired by our brand heritage and English tradition. As Mulberry began 40 years ago with, and is still loved for leather accessories we decided to use leather for Fashion Pudsey. He comes in the same Soft Buffalo leather we use for our Alexa bag and his colour is classic Oak with Chocolate paws and mouth – two of the most iconic Mulberry colours! 'Mulberry Pudsey's eyes and nose are made from our famous gunmetal grey rivets and he has a Mulberry fob on the back of his neck so people know exactly who he is – just in case he gets lost! The finishing touch is Pudsey's bandana, made from the same Mulberry tree monogram material that lines our handbags – all in all a very Mulberry bear!' Hill admits that Children in Need is a cause very close to her heart because of her six-year-old son, Hudson. 'I have enjoyed watching the broadcast year after year and certainly feel like I have grown up with the show, watching the amazing things people do to support children in our country and see the fantastic way everyone unites to raise money is truly inspiring. We were delighted to be asked and we hope our Fashion Bear does Children In Need proud in the auction!' It turns out that the Mulberry employees have become rather attached to the Mulberry Fashion Pudsey. 'Working on the project was a pleasure and caused much excitement in both our Somerset factory and in our London office! We'll be very sad to see him go but hopefully he'll find a loving and generous home.' See the entire Designer Pudsey Collection here. The online auction on eBay will start tomorrow.
