Nice lightweight wig, natural looking, wear for special occasions. Color of wig compliments my very light skin tone (#101). Have thining hair due to medications/surgery. Only complaint is the extended neck tends to ride up. My husband says it looks like the hair I had in my 30's. Ideal for this 62 year old granny.

No matter how I styled it I couldn't keep the inside of the wig covered completely. Was it a used one? Seemed like it was worn out. Would have been cute if I could have gotten it to cover the netting inside. My first wig is much nicer, cost more of course, but it is longer hair and it has been so hot out I wanted a cute short look to be cooler outside. Never wore it outside!! I will try again!

I would buy this wig again and again
By LaBelle 2
from Arlington Heights, Illinois
I have received so many compliments on this natural looking wig at work, at parties, at Church. Even my own mother could not tell it is a wig. I am waiting for the next sale to buy more of the 1b color. Thanks for a nice product.

right the first time
By Ellie
from small town America
I have problems getting my hair style to look great all day...a few years ago I bought a Beth Paula Young Wig...I loved it...over the years I have tried different styles and colors in the auburn/red category that I could blend my own hair in making it look more natural...I've had good luck with all my Paula Young wigs except Meg...it just didn't work for me...recently I bought another Beth wig, I blended my own hair into the bangs and sides and couldn't tell I had a wig on.... one day, I was getting ready to take it off... got busy and it was several hours before I realized I still had it on...for me that's the test of knowing I have the right wig... For now, I have put my many beautiful wigs away, I may wear them again someday...but for this 66 year old lady...Beth is perfect!!! Some people enjoy going to beauty shops... but for people like me who find it time consuming and frustrating,..Paula Young has the solution

Better than expected
By Stylist
from South Carolina
This is a great wig! Ordered Pecan color and it is so natural looking. Have had many compliments. Ordered the average size and it is a little big from front to back but it really isn't a problem. The hair is much softer than I anticipated and looks great with just a shake or a bit of touch up brushing.

About Me Minimalist
I started wearing wigs when I was 21. I had been blonde until my teens, then my hair turn very dark and straight. Had so many Perms my hair would turn fuzzy. Found my first human hair wig over 40 years ago, well over $150.00, but it was blond and they style wig to me. Even with the heavy cost and upkeep I kept wearing wigs. About 10 years ago I found PY. I tried many different wig style, then I found Beth, it was me.Long enough too cover my dark hair, thick enough the wind did show dark hair. Easy to finger comb back in place when out of wind. When the new shaded colors came out I never had so many compliments. I have been wearing this wig for years, I just Love Love it. By the way wearing a wig every day for years, has not hurt my own hair at all. Super thick must keep thinning my own hair all the time. No hair damage, no perms, coloring, hair curler or dryer, no split ends, just healthy hair.

Very Flattering!
By Liz
from KY
I own several PY wigs and enjoy all of them, especially Beth. As soon as I receive them, I always take my wigs to my stylist to tailor them to my look.....a few snips here and a few snips there. Then I feel like they are "mine". My Beth looks like I used to wear my hair before my hair loss so people I haven't seen for awhile don't know the difference.
Very Happy
By ani
from Lakewood, CO
I am very happy with Beth - i try other styles and always come back to Beth and i love the 33/28 irish/red russet color..as i'm getting older i toy with changing the color to silver, but feel it would be too drastic at this time. I have no complaints whatsoever with any of the Beths' i've ordered.

Partnerships for Innovation: Building Innovation Capacity
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
The Partnerships for Innovation: Building Innovation Capacity (PFI:BIC) program supports academe-industry partnerships, which are led by an interdisciplinary academic research team with a least one industry partner to build technological, human, and service system innovation capacity. These partnerships focus on the integration of technologies into a specified human-centered smart service system with the potential to achieve transformational change in an existing service system or to spur an entirely new service system. These technologies have been inspired by existing breakthrough discoveries.
Service systems are socio-technical configurations of people, technologies, organizations, and information designed to deliver services that create and deliver value [1]. A "smart" service system is a system capable of learning, dynamic adaptation, and decision making based upon data received, transmitted, and/or processed to improve its response to a future situation. The system does so through self-detection, self-diagnosing, self-correcting, self-monitoring, self-organizing, self-replicating, or self-controlled functions. These capabilities are the result of the incorporation of technologies for sensing, actuation, coordination, communication, control, etc. The system may exhibit a sequence of features such as detection, classification, and localization that lead to an outcome occurring within a reasonable time.
PFI:BIC funds research partnerships working on projects that operate in the post-fundamental discovery space but precede being on a clear path to commercialization. These projects require additional effort to integrate the technology into a real service system with human factors considerations, which in turn might spawn additional discoveries inspired by this interaction of humans with the technology.
Partnership activities that drive sustained innovation include the targeted allocation of resources such as capital, time, and facilities; and sharing of knowledge in a cross-organizational and interdisciplinary context. The project must involve research tasks that demonstrate a highly collaborative research plan with participation of the primary industrial partner with the academic researcher during the life of the award.
Cultivating smart service systems requires not only the participation of the scientific discipline or disciplines related to the technology, but also of a range of other disciplines needed to achieve successful integration into a smart service system. The resulting system requires an understanding of human interaction with technology and a human-centered design to assure the desirability and the effectiveness of the proposed service system. Thus, in addition to the discipline related to the technology, the disciplines to be included in this project are 1) systems engineering or engineering design, 2) computer science/information technology, and 3) human factors/behavioral science/cognitive engineering. Some teams not experienced with service engineering might benefit from consulting with an individual with expertise in service operations or service systems. NSF recognizes that the labels for the aforementioned disciplines may vary in different institutions and organizations, so what is important here is to demonstrate the equivalence of the representation of these disciplines. The proposer will be asked to show how the disciplines will be integrated in the context of the project as part of the research plan in the Project Description.
Examples [2] of technology applied to service systems include smart healthcare, smart cities, on-demand transportation, precision agriculture, smart infrastructure, and other technologies enabling self-service and customized service solutions.
WEBINARS: Webinars will be held to answer questions about the solicitation. Register on the PFI:BIC website where details will be posted (http://www.nsf.gov/eng/iip/pfi/bic.jsp). Potential proposers and their partners are encouraged to attend. Also, Vice Presidents for Research and academic personnel concerned with the review of their respective institution's selection of candidates for submission, individuals from Sponsored Research Offices, and those focused on the identification and understanding of limited application submissions are encouraged to attend.

[2] Note that examples have been provided in this solicitation to offer a sense of the variety of possibilities across types of service systems and the forefront technologies that would allow them to achieve their apex of effectiveness and efficiency, but by no means are they intended to represent program emphases or priorities.

Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake in 3D
When it premiered at Sadler's Wells in 1995, Matthew Bourne's triumphant re-interpretation of Swan Lake turned tradition upside down, taking the dance world by storm. Now you can watch this modern day classic accompanied by state of the art surround sound. An iconic production, perhaps best-known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, was filmed at Sadler's Wells, London in 2011. Breathtaking in its drama and intensity. With more than 30 international theatre awards including three Tony's and an Olivier, Swan Lake has been acclaimed as a landmark achievement on the stage, becoming the longest running ballet in the West End and on Broadway.

Site originally by David Winterbottom (user root).
Only tested on Linux Ubunty Hardy. Works when file names have spaces. The "-maxdepth 2" limits the find search to the current directory and the next one deeper in this example. This was faster on my system because find was searching every directory before the current directory without the -maxdepth option. Almost as fast as locate when used as above. Must use double quotes around pattern to handle spaces in file names. -print0 is used in combination with xargs -0. Those are zeros not "O"s. For xargs, -I is used to replace the following "{}" with the incoming file-list items from find. Echo just prints to the command line what is happening with mv. mv needs "{}" again so it knows what you are moving from. Then end with the move destination. Some other versions may only require one "{}" in the move command and not after the -I, however this is what worked for me on Ubuntu 8.04. Some like to use -type f in the find command to limit the type.
Useful for deleting old unused log files.
I'm working in a group project currently and annoyed at the lack of output by my teammates. Wanting hard metrics of how awesome I am and how awesome they aren't, I wrote this command up.
It will print a full repository listing of all files, remove the directories which confuse blame, run svn blame on each individual file, and tally the resulting line counts. It seems quite slow, depending on your repository location, because blame must hit the server for each individual file. You can remove the -R on the first part to print out the tallies for just the current directory.
This is better than doing a "for `find ...`; do ...; done", if any of the returned filenames have a space in them, it gets mangled. This should be able to handle any files.
Of course, this only works if you have rename installed on your system, so it's not a very portable command.
This command finds the 5 (-n5) most frequently updated logs in /var/log, and then does a multifile tail follow of those log files.
Alternately, you can do this to follow a specific list of log files:
sudo tail -n0 -f /var/log/{messages,secure,cron,cups/error_log}
Well this can come handy , when you don't feel like playing with pid rather if you know
the process name say "firefox",it would kill it.The script given below would kill the process with its name given as first parameter , though not robust enough to notify that process doesn't exist , well if you know what you are doing that's wouldn't be a problem.:)
ps -u $USER |grep $1 | awk '{ print $1}'| xargs kill
I've used technicalpickles command a lot, but this one handles whitespaces in filenames. I'm sure you want to create an alias for it :)
Just a handy way to get all the unique links from inside all the html files inside a directory. Can be handy on scripts etc.
for i in $@; do
if [ "$1" != "$i" ]
echo /newInstall/gem install $1 -v=\"$i\"
/newInstall/gem install $1 -v="$i"
if [ "$?" != "0" ]
echo -e "\n\nGEM INSTALL ERROR: $1\n\n"
echo "$1" > gemInst.err
By putting the "-not \( -name .svn -prune \)" in the very front of the "find" command, you eliminate the .svn directories in your find command itself. No need to grep them out.
You can even create an alias for this command:
alias svn_find="find . -not \( -name .svn -prune \)"
Now you can do things like
svn_find -mtime -3
Skype has an internal regex which depicts the emoticons it supports. However you cannot simply search the binary file for it. This small 181 character line will do just that, provided skype is running. And of course, only works in linux.
will purge:
only installed apps: /^ii/!d
avoiding current kernel stuff: /'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d
using app names: s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/
avoiding stuff without a version number: /[0-9]/!d
additionally use "find /etc/cron*" for cronscripts
Nice reading in the morning on the way to work, but sadly the .tar.gz for the whole issue 66 is not on phrack's website yet. So use wget to download.
Here the pattern is '*.jar', you could pass in any pattern.
Another, maybe nicer way to do this is
You could replace sed with tr
This one-liner will the *delete* without any further confirmation all 100% duplicates but one based on their md5 hash in the current directory tree (i.e including files in its subdirectories).
Good for cleaning up collections of mp3 files or pictures of your dog|cat|kids|wife being present in gazillion incarnations on hd.
md5sum can be substituted with sha1sum without problems.
The actual filename is not taken into account-just the hash is used.
Whatever sort thinks is the first filename is kept.
It is assumed that the filename does not contain 0x00.
As per the good suggestion in the first comment, this one does a hard link instead:
find . -xdev -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | perl -ne 'chomp; $ph=$h; ($h,$f)=split(/\s+/,$_,2); if ($h ne $ph) { $k = $f; } else { unlink($f); link($k, $f); }'
added alias in ~/.bashrc
alias lf='find ./* -ctime -1 | xargs ls -ltr --color'

When using WebEx for remote training of software systems, is there a point at which a session is too long. At what point is onsite training better than trying to do it remotely?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Personal Productivity Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people wanting to improve their personal productivity. It's 100% free, no registration required.
for long training sessions, I found that on-site, face to face sessions is much better. However, if it needs to be done over a WebEx, the following points may help
It's always better to do it onsite. If better means more learning. It's just that sending someone costs more and takes more of the trainer's time.

Yes, the Miami Heat are the national champions. But, arguably more important, b-baller wunderkind Dwyane Wade is one of the best-dressed men in the NBA — nay, all of sports. And who does the pro have to thank for his full-court-fashion press? Miami stylist extraordinaire Calyann Barnett, of course.Yet, when it comes to Barnett's own style, you won't see the crisped suits and sensible grays her high-profile clients are known for, but, instead, an imaginative and out-of-this-world closet. (Seriously. Imagine Gwen Stefani mixed with Rihanna. It's that OTT.) So, when we met up with her, Barnett showed off her favorite outfits and gave us an ESPN-worthy dose of insider scoop on the Heat — and Mr. Wade! Hey, all in a day's work when it comes to the life of champion…

The stylish and extremely comfortable Chalet Cairn has proved hugely popular with our guests over the last several winters. Ski access is simple, with the Aeroski gondola and the Palafour chairlift both within 3 minutes' walk, and a ski shuttle bus stop just outside for access to the lifts at Val Claret. The resort centre of Tignes le Lac is also only a couple of minutes' easy walk.
The owner takes great pride in this chalet and is constantly updating it to keep it in a perfect and comfortable condition for our guests. The chalet has been recently updated with new lounge furniture and new bedroom furnishings with a TV/DVD in each bedroom and for winter 2014/15 has installed a unique 'cosmic sauna'.
The location on Tignes' lake shore also provides stunning views across the water from the lounge, terrace and hot tub to the spectacular mountain face known as 'The Fingers', named after the narrow couloirs and ridges running down it. The face is illuminated at night with a gentle ethereal glow, and on clear moonlit nights, the view is even more sensational.

In the '90s, his band, Better Than Ezra went from the Louisiana club circuit to MTV airwaves with the hits "Good" and "Desperately Wanting." Today, Kevin Griffin finds himself right at home in Franklin, Tenn. as an in-demand pop, rock and country songwriter.
But BTE is still going strong, and on Thursday night, they'll take the stage in Nashville to raise funds for arts and music programs at the Montessori School of Franklin, which Griffin's 4-year-old twin boys currently attend. The show will also feature performances from former "American Idol" champ David Cook and Tonic frontman Emerson Hart, another alt-rock hitmaker who's made a home in Nashville. Griffin says he sees lots of familiar faces in town these days.
"The quality of life you can have as a musician is much better than L.A. or New York, and it's all about the music in this town, the songwriting and the craft. There's a real respect and reverence for it that you don't find in other places."
Among the tunes that Griffin's penned or co-penned since moving to town is Sugarland's smash "Stuck Like Glue," with a "whoa-oh" refrain that echoes the chorus of his first hit, "Good." Griffin says his songs have always been story-driven, but he knows he's still getting a handle on country songwriting. Luckily, he feels like he has ample time to grow.
"I think your shelf life as a songwriter is longer in Nashville than it is in L.A." he says. "A lot of the top songwriters right now are mid-50s and up, and I like that, being 44 years old. I was like, 'How long am I going to want to be playing the pop game in L.A?' I don't want to be 50 and wearing increasingly silly tennis shoes, and saying, 'Dude, dope beat.'"
Better Than Ezra, Emerson Hart and David Cook perform at the Cannery Ballroom (1 Cannery Row) on Thursday, March 14. The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are $40 in advance, $50 at the door and $125 for VIP with open bar and hors d'oeuvres.

Probably one of the most accessible Funeral Doom albums out there that somehow manages to lose none of it's crushing power. Very highly recommended, especially if you're not already familiar with the genre. Perfect mix between melody and extremity.
Written by Daniell on 26.10.2010 at 21:11
Surprisingly, I think that doom in general is a very demanding genre. You have very little means to keep listeners' attention. You can't flood them with solos, millions of riffs etc. It takes immense talent to create something truly riveting and engaging. Ahab excelts at that on both albums.
Easily among of 10 best doom bands that have ever graced the face of the earth.

Dear Ms. Vicki,
I have become pretty desperate for advice in dealing with my parents. My boyfriend is a Marine Corps officer and we are soon to be engaged. I know that he has spoken to friends about what kind of ring I would like and made appointments at several stores to go look.
He will be going to California soon, and the plan has always been that I will be going with him. I have already applied to a couple of Master Degree programs out there. Recently though, my parents have been giving me a lot of grief about quitting my job, taking out loans for school and going with him.
My parents do not seem to be accepting the decisions that I make. They still constantly pressure me about when he will propose. They also threaten that they will cut ties with me if I choose to go to California with him. They find it pathetic that I want to "give up my education and career" to go with him, which I find to be inconsiderate and hurtful.
I care for my Marine very much and want to support him through everything, as I know he wants to do for me. Some may disagree, but right now that is more of a priority to me than a career I do not enjoy.
Although I don't want to hurt my parents, I need to find a way to communicate to them that they can help guide me and understand and support my decisions or they need to just stay out of everything. We have tried to talk about this before, but it almost always results in arguing and yelling. Can you help me?
Dear KJay,
You are correct in saying that you are an adult now. However, being an adult doesn't stop your parents from being fearful and expressing their concerns about their child's decisions.
It sounds like you have made a final decision to move to California with your boyfriend. Just understand you are moving with him as his girlfriend and not his wife. Things could work out for you both. You could marry and live happily ever after, as I hope you will.
On the other hand, you can move to California with him and he could have a change of heart and decide he doesn't want to marry you and that he doesn't want to be with you anymore.
I've witnessed both situations several times. Whatever happens, I think you will be able to deal with it. I can understand your parents' concerns. They want you to have every situation to your advantage. From their viewpoint, traveling with him as his girlfriend is not to your advantage.
In this case, you can only tell your parents that you love and respect them but you have made your decision. They may not support you, but it won't change your love for them. Let them know you will keep the lines of communication with them as you embark on this journey with your boyfriend. Continue with your education and take care of yourself.
Ms. Vicki

Playing to a small crowd of lucky Triple J radio contest winners and industry personnel, Ben Harper delivered an hour long acoustic set down under. He was joined on the Pearl Jam tune "Indifference" by none other than PJ's lead singer, Eddie Vedder, who was in the area doing some shows with Neil Finn. Virtue Oz taped the show for a webcast to be aired on Thursday at 8:00pm (in Australia). That's 3:00am Los Angeles time! Click here to watch it.
In case you didn't catch Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals' performance of "Ground On Down" on last night's broadcast of the ESPN Action Sports and Music Awards, the event will be aired again in the future. In the meantime, check out show highlights at EXPN.com.

For usernames, etc., you usually see like
ユーザ名 or something similar. Or like on my Skype, it says
Skype名. How is the 名 pronounced in these situations? I've never been able to conclusively find this anywhere. My instinct tells me it's
な because these seem like compounds nouns (like
星空【ほしぞら】, etc.) that use kun-yomi.

I do not know the reason for that, but if I make a guess, this may be because gairaigo in a compound word is treated in a similar way to Sino-Japanese words.

Atomic Split Fins Small Pink
Dive Pink & Fight Breast Cancer. Includes a $5 Donation
Dive Pink & Fight Breast Cancer. Includes a $5 Donation
Split fins have become the most popular style fin in diving today. Just look around when you are out beach diving or on the charter boat and you will soon discover that more divers are making the switch to this style fin. Why are they so popular? They are popular because they work, and you, work less! A split fin performs more like the combination of a whale's tail and a propeller. When you kick the two separate blades twist and create more of a propeller surface which will increase your propulsion and lift. You feel as if the fin is not strong enough to keep you moving as fast as you are accustomed with your full bladed fin, yet you cover the same distance in the same time.
Less Drag, More Thrust and most important Less Strength is Used. The Split Fin Design is not only unique; it uses the Latest Technology in Composite Plastic Polymer Materials to give a Light Fin (Great Travel Fin) and one that Increases Thrust and Reduces Fatigue. Fin is equipped with EZ-LOK Squeeze-Style" Quick-Release Buckles which Snap-On-and-Off with Ease, yet Will-Not Disengage- Accidentally. The Rubber Fin Straps are equipped with a Large Pull-Tab for Easy Donning and Doffing. Extensive R&D and Testing yielded the perfect formula of Flexibility and Rigidity for Efficient Propulsion. Atomic Multi-Composite Plastics result in a Powerful Kick that requires Less Effort, Stress and Strain meaning Less Air Consumption. The Power Rails are Highly-Resilient and Perform as the Backbone of the Split Fin, Storing and Releasing Energy with Every Kick. The Semi-Ridged Flex Battens set in the Soft Elastomeric Blade, Control the Precise Wing Shape to Optimize Thrust and Reduce Drag. The Large Surface Area Blade Improves Pivoting, Turning and Alternate Kick Styles.
Thin, yet Strong and Highly Flexible Hinge Points between the Semi-Ridged Battens cause the Blade to React Quick-and-Efficiently to the Slightest Kick. The Anatomically Contoured Foot Pocket designed to Fit-your-Foot without Stress Points, with Semi-Open Toe for added Comfort. The Internal Sole Plate creates Ridged Platform Beneath-the-Foot for Greater Power Transfer to the Blade yet provides a Soft, Comfortable Open Heel Foot Pocket. Fins are available in sizes Small, Medium, Large or X-Large, come in Blue, Yellow, Silver, Royal Blue, Reef Red, Pink or Purple colors and are covered by a 12 month limited warranty. So make the switch and use less effort which equates to less air usage and longer more comfortable dives.
DIVE PINK & FIGHT BREST CANCER! For every Pink Fins $5 will be donated to fight breast cancer.
The Atomic Split Fins is commonly used for Recreation, SCUBA, Snorkeling and more. The Atomic Split Fins is most used by customers who consider themselves to be a Advanced, Advanced Diver, Beginner, Casual/ Recreational, Divemaster, Recreational Diver among others. The Atomic Split Fins is popular because customers like the following qualities of the Atomic Split Fins : Accommodates Boots, Comfortable, Efficient, Lightweight.

Comments about Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:
Started off using rental fins. It is much better having my own and these are one of the best. Seem to be more efficient than the rentals I used and the fit is better. Wish they came with heel spring straps.
Best Uses
Comments about Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:
The product is awesome, if your swimming correctly there is minimal effort for the speed you can travel, getting the fin off is as simple as unbuckling the strap, great color choices if your into that.
the bad, and why i rate four instead of five, if you don't buckle firmly on the strap it can come off, and has only happened when i was hurried to get in the water, easy fix, double check your gear, but can be annoying, has never happened while underwater, ive tried the fin with the spring and its ease of use triples but price goes up sixty bucks, well worth it.
all in all buy these fins

Best Uses
Comments about Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:
For sizing of ANY open-heel fin, it is going to be very dependent on the boot you use. I recommend trying the fin with your booties to see what fits well and what doesn't. For these fins, or any, a thin boot is going to require a smaller size than normal and a hard-sole boot is going to require a larger fin than normal. A medium, soft-sole boot is going to be true to size or require a smaller boot, but not always. If you don't try it first, you really won't know until you do. As far as the Atomics go, a thick-sole boot is going to fit perfect with these fins (true to size), but a thin sole or thin boot might require a smaller size. Again, best to try before you buy.

J. Mascis is my best friend. Sometimes he'll come over and sit across the table from me and we'll discuss politics—ok, I will—he'll just sit there brooding the way he does. Yes, the number five best guitar player of all time according to Spin will retort with a cold ambivalent stare while I unload my woes over a pint. When that's finished we'll grab our skateboards and go out—um—thrashing. When that gets old we hop into my convertible and cruise around town, everything captured in slow motion frames from the spinning wheel wells to my belly-aching laughter at something J. must have muttered between frowns. We're stylized, he and I through the perspectives of everyone looking on and the over-driven guitars reverberating off brick walls of the city.

If Simon Doonan were a prep-school princess, we suspect that he'd be dressing in head-to-toe United Bamboo. Full of patterned goodness, the United Bamboo resort 2011 collection packs a stylish punch, but is still as easy and light as one would expect from a resort offering. Delicate liberty prints and kitschy teal florals are paired with muted separates in a way that elevates both components for an off-kilter, but still proper package. We loving the quirky, Tenenbaum-esque world of Bamboo, and to help you get way into the mood, we're giving away a James Iha 7-inch vinyl featuring Britta Phillips that was recorded exclusive for United Bamboo, and played during their fall '09 show.

Today is kind of bittersweet. It is my last day at Publishers Weekly and after today you can find me at BarbaraVey.com. When I started here 7 years ago, I said I would only do it for 3 months. At that time, I had never written anything longer than a grocery list and I had no idea what a blog was. I can still remember asking PW to send me "How to" book about blogging, but at that time, there weren't that many blogs around, so they told me to write whatever I wanted.
PW was just starting their online presence and I was invited along. My thanks to Karen Holt for seeing something in me that I didn't know was there and to Sara Nelson for her encouragement along the way.
All at once, my blog just took off. There was a need to be filled and apparently, Beyond Her Book, was at the right place, at the right time. I was invited to New York to speak with the other bloggers about how to write a successful blog. It was an honor I'll never forget. I got to ride the subway for the first time, I never took so many taxis, walked so much, ate New York Pizza and was the total tourist geek.
I got to travel all over the world and meet amazing people. Not bad for a second career.

Friday is the first day of winter, and while we might be dreaming of a snowy holiday, icy conditions can present challenges for our pets' health.
"During the winter, products used as de-icers on sidewalks and other areas can lead to trouble for our animal companions," says Dr. Louise Murray, veterinarian and Vice President of the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. "Pet parents should take precautions to minimize their furry friends' exposure to such agents."
Keep these tips in mind when you bring your furry friends along for the neighborhood snowball fight:
•Bring a towel on long walks to clean off irritated paws. After each walk, wash and dry your pet's feet to remove ice, salt and chemicals—and check for cracks in paw pads or redness between the toes.
•Booties for your pet's paws help minimize contact with painful salt crystals, poisonous anti-freeze and chemical ice-melting agents. They can also help prevent irritating sand and salt from getting lodged in between bare toes.
•Massage petroleum jelly into paw pads before going outside to protect them from salt and chemical agents. Also, moisturizing can help heal chapped paws.
For more information about ways to protect your pet's skin and paws, check out our full list of ASPCA winter pet care tips.

Medford, Ore. -- The Jackson County Commissioners unanimously approved $306 million for the 2014-2015 fiscal year on Wednesday.
The budget is an increase of about $5 million over the previous one.
One of the reasons why is because of an increase in the Health and Human Services Department, which is in response to the Affordable Care Act.
Commissioner Don Skundrick told NBC 5 News on Thursday that because the library and extension districts were passed by voters in the May Primary, $5.2 million were relieved from the general fund.
And while the county will break even this year, he is looking optimistic towards future budgets for the county.
"It would be nice to see us have some more availability of our natural resources to bring in addition to our revenues. It will never will be like it was before, but we do have opportunities out there by working with our federal partners," Skundrick said.
There was also a one year extension to the Rural Schools Act, which helped boost the budget.
Commissioner Skundrick says since property values are also up, there was an increase in tax revenue.

Personal Finance: Stock market shrugs off 'cliff' fears
We are all cliff dwellers now — wondering about our fate as the Dec. 31 deadline looms for the economy's potential plunge amid political bickering about tax increases and the nation's debt.
In fact, the time to be rescued from a potential fall from the so-called fiscal cliff will be even shorter if Congress goes home for its holiday recess as scheduled at the end of this week.
But much to the surprise of some analysts, the stock market has shown resilience, despite the prediction that the economy will go into a recession next year if about $600 billion in tax increases and government spending cuts take hold for an extended period after Jan. 1.
The resilience suggests that despite the nation's collective disgust with warring politicians, investors are confident that a timely compromise will be reached between the president and Congress that will keep the country out of recession — even if there's no consensus on tax increases and spending cuts by the deadline.
Perhaps people remember that even though Congress set off an almost-800-point plunge in the Dow Jones industrial average on the day it voted "no" on the $700 billion TARP bailout plan in 2008, spooked leaders of Congress approved the bailout two days later. Perhaps investors realize that while congressional bickering in August 2011 took the Dow down 635 points in a day, emergency action was taken. The can got kicked down the road, leaving Congress with the New Year's Eve deadline on spending cuts.
Despite the uncertainty, the Dow has climbed more than 20 percent since the August 2011 fiasco. It has climbed 6 percent this year, and the Standard & Poor's 500 is up almost 12 percent for 2012 as analysts debate the potential for economic damage if politicians dig in their heals and let taxes go up $500 billion.
Already, some observers see repercussions.
The November Institute for Supply Management manufacturing index, which measures the strength of the nation's manufacturing sector, surprised analysts last week by contracting more than expected. While some analysts said the numbers suffered because of superstorm Sandy, the National Association of Manufacturers issued a statement blaming the fiscal cliff. Amid concerns that businesses and consumers will cut back their spending if they face higher taxes and a recession next year, the association said manufacturers are already reducing their workforce.
"The economy is downshifting again," said Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist for U.S. Mizuho Securities. He said the ISM report showed new orders declining and employment in manufacturing falling.
Economist Paul Dales of Capital Economics noted the weakness evident in the manufacturing index "is consistent with annualized GDP growth of just 1 percent."
That's feeble growth for an economy that's four years into a recovery from the last recession.
Yet Dales points to a scenario that hasn't been lost on investors who have continued to stay invested in stocks: "If the cliff is the culprit (for manufacturing's decline), a deal would trigger a bounce-back in the coming months," he said.
Beyond the belief that the stock market will probably rally strongly if the nation can put the cliff behind it, December also is the month when it's tough to bet against the stock market. It's the month known for Santa Claus rallies — the month when stocks tend to climb even if investors have been jittery up to that point. It's the time when mutual fund and hedge fund managers, who have been cautious investors earlier in the year and consequently are lagging behind the stock market, tend to try to catch up so their clients don't desert them.
That's a point JPMorgan strategist Thomas Lee has been emphasizing as he's urged investors to select cyclical stocks, which generally rise based on improving economies. Cyclicals have outperformed the S&P 500 since mid-October, he noted in a recent report to clients.
"This is extremely curious to us. If there was risk of a fiscal cliff, we should expect severe economic consequences and hence, cyclicals should tumble. But instead we are seeing meaningful outperformance."
The strength of the stock market is also seen by Ned Davis of Ned Davis Research as an indicator that the economy is not going to go into a recession.
"One of my favorite leading economic indicators is the stock market," he wrote clients. "Despite all the eurozone angst, election uncertainty, disappointing earnings, Hurricanes Isaac and Sandy, and the fiscal cliff over the past year, the stock market has rallied nicely in line with good economic growth."
