The Unquiet Librarian. The Information Dark Ages...Again. Years ago I asked my grandmother questions about her early life, and she put me off, saying her life wasn't interesting at all.
But I kept asking, and she finally told me some stories that blew my socks off. I was shocked to learn that as a very young girl, she and her family came to Texas in two covered wagons. That was one of many stories she told me about her not so interesting life, but what astonished me the most was that during her short lifetime, man went from traveling in covered wagons to walking on the moon. How could that happen so fast? The Best K-12 Education Technology Blogs. If it takes a village to raise a child, how many people does it take to train an educator?
It's hard to say, but 50 helping hands seems like a good place to start. In the spirit of community, collaboration and information sharing, EdTech: Focus on K–12 has rounded up 50 ed-tech blogs that we deem must-reads for the K–12 community. We launched our first Must-Read IT list last year to great response so we hope that you all enjoy this year's batch of blogs as well. These blogs are a mix of voices and include blogs authored by teachers, administrators and technology vendors. They share real-world classroom experiences, offer inspiration and distribute valuable best practices. This list was built in part by you, our readers.
Without further ado, here is the 2013 Honor Roll: Purely Paperless. The Ten Blogs I Read First. FriEdTechnology. After School Routine Checklist. I think it is really important to keep yourself and your classroom organized.
I was not a born organized person, but had to work hard to develop routines and systems to keep myself organized. As a teacher nothing makes me happier than coming into a clean classroom with everything in its place. It can be very difficult some days to leave your classroom as organized as you would like (at least it can be for me). I came up with this end of the day routine a few years ago when I had a student teacher. The list I gave her was a bit different than this one. I do try and follow the routine myself every evening because it gives me peace of mind knowing that I can walk right into my classroom in the morning and be ready to go.
End of the Day routine: Write out assignment board for tomorrow. D.I.Y. teaching and learning. Top 10 Educational Technology Blogs for Teachers. Today we received some good news from Teacher Certification website.
They have published a list of the Top 50 School Technology blogs and our blog Educational Technology and Mobile Learning was featured in the third spot in that list. We are really so honored to be in this list and we are even happier to realize that our voice gets across to educators from all around the world. All thanks and gratitude go back to you , our readers, for your encouragement and support. W are very sure we would not have been where we are now hadn't it been for your continuous help. Lifelong Learning for School Librarians. 100 Helpful Blogs For School Librarians (And Teachers) We love librarians. They're the gatekeepers of knowledge and always looking to explore new ways to enhance the learning experience .
I learned about the latest trends in libraries at this year's CALICON in San Diego and love the move toward open source, cross-library sharing, and going digital. But what if you weren't able to attend CALICON or simply want to get a regular update on all the fun stuff happening with libraries?

How to ensure that you can deliver an ad closest to the searcher's intent so they are more likely to click and later convert.
With all of the advanced tips and tricks published about paid search, it's easy to forget the reason it's so effective - the keywords. Reaching searchers at the exact moment they are expressing an interest in something via their keyword search is a golden opportunity to raise your hand and say, "I have that something!"
Selecting the right keywords is a skill and art. The key is relevancy of the keywords to the searcher's query. We want to ensure that we can deliver an ad closest to the searcher's intent so they are more likely to click and later convert.
For example, if we sell human resources software, relevant keywords may be:
So how do we accomplish this and ensure we're showing up for the relevant searches? Even if we select the correct keywords, there are a few things to consider that impact the final results.
Understanding the critical technical components and psychology behind searches is not a luxury. It's a necessity to funneling media budget into keywords that will drive your business forward though paid search.

US-led airstrike kills 6 in Afghanistan's Helmand province
Sun Dec 9, 2012 3:48PM
The Afghan official claimed that those killed were Taliban militants who had planned to explode a car bomb in the provincial capital of Lashkar Gah.The United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001 under the pretext of combating terrorism. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity continues to rise across the country despite the presence of thousands of US-led troops. The US-led war in Afghanistan, which has caused record-high civilian and military casualties, has become the longest military conflict in US history. The escalating human cost of the war is putting a great deal of pressure on NATO member states to withdraw their troops. AZA/MAM/PKH

CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA -- I was a personal trainer at LA Fitness for over a year. There was some new blood coming into its own in upper management and looking for a way to make a name for themselves. After giving all I could to make a living there I was wrongly accused of stealing training sessions. I and many others with this company used a simple practice for getting paid. When someone ran out of the sessions that they were paying for, we would train them for free on that day and charge them at a later date... Most don't know or care as long as they can train when they want to. This goes on all the time, as a matter of fact I'm sure all the trainers do it every day all over the country.
I learned how to do this from one of the other trainers at the gym. So as it come to pass, once this new person took over and the economy took a dive, the co. started doing research and found out what was going on. In their infinite wisdom they decided to give me the ax... I still don't know why I was singled out, maybe it's because I wouldn't do all of the things they wanted me to do. (Rob people blind.)
Well anyway, they took my last paycheck, and fed me crap about refunding sessions and taking it out of my pay. Needless to say I'm not very pleased about how it was handled, and would like nothing more than to warn anyone who thinks this is a good place to work, or even be a member of, be very careful. This place is full of crooks, ex-cons, and people who do not care about anything other than money. Like I said before once they got you you're theirs.... BE FOREWARNED THIS PLACE SUCKS.. ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!
To cancel your La Fitness Pro Results personal training simply write a letter to the Better Business Bureau, and wait. Having an attorney send a letter to their corporate office also helps.
These are almost always guaranteed to work if your problems are legitimately concerning (and referencing) trainer no shows, being switched trainers numerous time, harassment, stolen sessions, or misrepresentation at the point of sale (the time of signing up), such as being told you can cancel your contract at any time with no penalty or not being told effectively and directly that your contract will automatically convert to a month to month program upon completion, both of which I'll discuss next.
Very often La Fitness Pro Results sales representative will mislead you by telling you that you may cancel your personal training contract at any time with no penalty, which is completely false, (in some states) such cancellation usually requires a buy-out fee/penalty of 50% of the remaining balance and can total many hundreds of dollars. Some are in excess of a thousand.
Also La Fitness Pro Results sales representative will mislead you about your contract automatically renewing. One of their 'gimmicks' in this regard is to use 'fast talk' and refer to this as your "Rate for Life Guarantee", when in effect all of their personal training contracts are set to automatically renew after their initial term (month to month).
In April 2008 (or approximate to that time) La Fitness mysteriously cancelled numerous contracts (and stopped billing) those which had entered automatic renewal, in which members checking and credit cards accounts were being billed for MANY months after their initial term, some for over a year, with payments ranging $100-$400 monthly. These contracts (payments/drafts) were mysteriously cancelled yet to my knowledge none of the funds were ever returned to the clients. This was done company wide, and was not mentioned to upper management or club management. This was a one time thing.
They did not cancel all auto-new contracts. It appears they only cancelled those who had been in auto renew for quite some time, as they let many in auto-renew at that time continue, and they still continue to automatically renew contracts on a daily basis.
It may also be possible they've decided to let all contracts auto-renew, yet set a pre-determined amount of time they would allow such contracts to continue to be billed (for example an additional 12 months), then cancel future drafts at such a pre-set time.
It was suggested to the owners of the company and their corporate brass to provide a list of ALL clients not using their personal training. This was suggested as a way of increasing customer service. This was rejected. Why? They feared that if 'non using clients' (but who were still being billed/drafted) were contacted, they would immediately become aware they were still being drafted for a contract they thought was completed and not using, resulting in people contacting their banks in order to stop electronic billing, and this could cost the company millions!
As a result, the only list provide to the club is a much shorter (safe) list of members whose accounts were active recently, but who have not used their personal training in the past 30 days. Anyone outside of that time frame is not put on that list due to the reasons I just explained.
I've been told directly by the owner and "La Fitness Top Brass" their fear is having an attorney/attorney general shut down their ability to auto-renew contracts which would cost the company millions of dollars yearly.
Also their clients have had thousands upon thousands of sessions stolen by trainers, resulting in trainers fraudulently getting paid at the loss of sessions to the clients, very often with neither the client nor La Fitness even being made aware, and sessions never being restored. La Fitness is aware of the loopholes which allow their clients sessions to be stolen, but have done little to correct the problem due to cost and inconvenience. Such solutions could include a finger print system, or a signature verification system, or simply locking down accounts which are not being used.
Also all La Fitness gym members need to be made aware that their billing information (while safely hidden) has the potential to used by the personal training department to bill ongoing services for personal training without the main members knowledge/authorized signature. This has also happened numerous times, to unwitting spouses and often by underage children, using their parents accounts even with the sales representative knowledge the child is underage and doesn't have their parents approval. Sales representative have also fraudulently and intentionally charged accounts of members for personal training services without the members' knowledge.
If you have had problems in these areas above, you may choose to contact an attorney, the Better Business Bureau and your State Attorney General. The owner of the company is Louis Welch (**) The owner's personal 'right hand person' is **. The head of human resources is **. ** heads the legal department.
CAMP HILL, PENNSYLVANIA -- Buyer Beware - Horrible experience!! It is probably the most unethical fitness facility. We became members and the sales agents signed us up for personal training sessions which we found we could never use because one most of the trainers are not well trained themselves and two the ones who are trained are never available. The sales agent told me we could cancel at any time which I found when we went to cancel is untrue because they suddenly show you the fine print which says to cancel you owe them 50% of the balance - something they never tell you when they make you sign up.
They have no customer service and are most unprofessional. Makes one wonder what the health of American business is today.
KATY, TEXAS -- Everyone who pays by credit card at LA Fitness should read this review. Warning! If you sign your name on a credit card authorization device at LA Fitness, you may learn later that your signature was transferred electronically to a 12 month services contract of which you had absolutely no knowledge.
My son signed up for a special college student summer membership (3 months). Prepaid, no problem. He decided to hire a personal trainer for this time period as well, was quoted a fee $xxx per month and he was told this would be billed monthly. He signed a credit card authorization device for automatic payment and enjoyed his summer session at LA Fitness.
Come September, LA Fitness made another automatic charge against his credit card. He inquired and was told that he had signed a 12 month contract for the personal trainer. They emailed him a copy of this contract which had his non-legible signature that had obviously been obtained from the credit card authorization device. La fitness never told him he was signing this contract. They never presented him a copy before or after he signed up for the monthly trainer.
He never verbally agreed to this commitment as he was never aware of it not to mention that he had just prepaid for three months of club membership because he was returning to college in a different city after his summer at home. He told the local LA Fitness manager this story and they said he was obligated to keep paying and he could call the head office to resolve. He tried to call several times, sent a registered letter and never heard back.
He initiated a dispute of this charge with his credit card company. And fortunately his credit card company was able to contact the local manager and they agreed to waive the buyout of this contract... No more charges. For this I am grateful the local manager eventually did the right thing. Be aware that your credit card authorization signature may be used without your knowledge for purposes that you do not intend.
MESA, ARIZONA -- I joined LA Fitness back in 2007 with my husband. I had been having heart problems since the year prior and as a result, I had stopped exercising and over the year had lost my strength. So, we decided to set up our free consultation with a personal trainer. I told him I was having heart issues and that I needed him to start off easy with me. He agreed, so we signed the contract. We soon found he did not care at all about customers with special needs.
We went over the booklet he gave us (to keep track of workouts), did a weigh in, BMI, etc etc... At this point he was polite. He gave us a run down on what we could expect from our workouts, and it sounded like a good start for me. Just walking on the treadmill brought my heart rate to 140-150. Our first session went well.
The next one was to focus on the lower body. So we went right into the workout. There came a point when I told the trainer that I couldn't do much more that day. He laughed it off and went on. Not to long after, my legs refused to continue and I fell on the ground. I tried to get up a few times, but I couldn't! He said he understood and would take it easy on me! I told him I needed to stop but he ignored me. So there I was, sitting on the gym floor, unable to get up and feeling thoroughly humiliated.
I don't remember how long I sat there before. (With my husband's help) I was able to get up and to a bench. I was aware of the people who were watching and could get out fast enough. With wobbly, weak legs, we then had to walk home. It took about a week before I could walk without shaking and falling. The next week, we went to see him again. This session was the arms. He did the same thing again!
This time he laughed at me when I said my arms were too tired to lift the weight again. He said to keep going till we finished that set. OK only 10 reps left. Not to bad, right? With 5 reps to go, I could not lift the bar at all. My trainer lifted it and had me "hold on to" the bar till finished. Again I felt humiliated by him.
I weight lifted before I started having health issues, and the first rule I was ever taught was to know when to STOP! That's how injuries happen... Besides the trainer who thought my condition was amusing, the gym was nice. I will never be going there again.
I have offered a free session of the personal training. They pushed me for the taking a personal training by showing discounts and free sessions at sign up. La fitness guy did not tell me about the cancellation can't be done within a year. I freeze account for few months. La fitness customer care worst. Lack of information. First they told me you can cancel the personal training if you're moving 25 miles away from the club. Then I was actually about to move from that place. So after moving to new place I called them and asked to cancel the membership.
Now LA Fitness customer said you can cancel the membership if you are 25 miles away from any of their club. WOW. So I should travel 25 miles to go to gym even if there is one next to my door? I am in New Jersey. They have club at Startan Island. So I told them to go there. I have to pay 10 dollars in toll and it's 20 miles from my place.
And believe me they said, "NO we cannot cancel it." You have to keep paying monthly charges. You can pay out and cancel the membership for that you have to pay 6 months charges. Isn't it cool. You been there for month or two. Pay 6 months charges and cancel the membership. It's Easy.
CALIFORNIA -- Having confronted LA Fitness Center Corporate office and the Reps at the Torrance office for the 2nd time, we came to a conclusion. We feel that everyone should be warned if they think of joining LA Fitness Center. First off, be prepared to bargain with them on membership cost when you decide to become a member. It is like going to a car dealer and buying a car - the old way. If you don't know how to bargain, you will end up paying twice as much as the guy that knows how.
Next, be prepared to sign a 3 or 4-page contract with all sorts of hidden clauses/fine-prints that will nail you for sure. Don't trust their Reps, they will tell you what you want to hear, and at the end of the day when you want to stop for whatever reason they will tell you that you signed the contract and so you are 'screwed'.
So, what should you do if you decide to sign up for a personal training program? Do NOT sign any contract with them. Do it month by month so that you can cancel any time without being hooked for an entire year or more if you are not careful of what you are signing. Once you signed, considered yourself screwed. You can NEVER stop no matter what your problem is, broke a leg, move out of the country, etc. Their contract works only one way, to rob you legally.
Our suggestion to those young men and women who is interested in becoming a member is to find another gym if you can, there are many other gyms out there that you can join that are a lot better than LA Fitness. LA Fitness Center has the worst scam system. Good luck, we hope that people read these complaints before they become a member rather than after like most of us did.
SCOTTSDALE -- I went to receive my free personal training session on a Sunday and the personal trainer worked me excessively only to make me feel out of shape and so I would sign a contract... When I was doing this I knew it but still I wanted to sign a contract because I really needed help on this..
After I signed the contract, not even 5 hours later and after I spoke to some friends about it, I went back to cancel it, but then I thought about it and asked for a downgrade (about 60 dollars less every month)... Two days later I used my first session of the new downgraded contract, however when I was given my refund, about 70 dollars were missing and they said that I used a session that costs 70 dollars on the first contract (before I downgraded it)... So in short, I paid 309 dollars for the first contract, cancelled it within 5 hours, and received another contract (which I never signed by the way) for the same amount of sessions but for 249 initial fees....
Well that first training session fell on the 309 contract because the stupid trainers purposefully procrastinated on canceling the contract so officially my contract was cancelled 5 days later, and my refund was never 309, it was 250. Because that one session I used came out of the refund and because according to customer service I was still on the first contract.....
So I am canceling the new contract and putting a block to LA Fitness transactions on my bank account, and since I did not sign the new contract I have no obligation to do anything.... Don't trust these guys .... and by the way, I called customer service and the guy was extremely rude and cursed at me after I did not accept his explanations (he told me "Sir, what part of using a session of your first contract don't you understand? Why don't you ** off and have a nice day???: and then he hang up...... E
xtremely unprofessional, and they kept pointing me to the gym management and the gym management to customer service and so around in order to solve this problem "Please contact customer service" then I would call them and they were like "Please call you Gym management" and I would do so and around it would go....
DON'T SIGN ANYTHING WITH LA FITNESS they are really stupid, and by the way on that first session they will make you feel like a scumbag that has no fitness in order to make you sign something, you know get you down morally and like I said, I was aware of this, but I only signed up because I needed guidance on getting started but after all this mess I don't want anything to do with LA Fitness at all..
CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA -- As a former employee, I would like to tell anyone who wants to know the truth. These people do not care about you at all. All they want is your money. Once they got your credit card they got you. As an employee I saw first hand how they work each person, they are liars and cheats. And they treat their employees like dogs, lousy pay, and they want you to keep working the members for more money. I would recommend you stay away from these people if at all possible. Find yourself a small local gym and go there... at least you won't have to feel like a dollar sign.
LA HABRA, CALIFORNIA -- After reading all these complaints, I know I am not the only one going through this. My husband signed me up for a years worth of personal training (pro-results) and 1 year membership to LA Fitness. It was a surprise but I found out about it & wanted to ask questions about what he signed me up for. My husband told me he signed me up for an hour a week with a personal trainer. When I spoke to "**" manager of the P.T.'s she said they do 1/2 hour of training & 1/2 hour of cooling down. So really all you get is 1/2 hour.
So on my 1st day I got there early. (Keeping in mind my husband signed me up & I didn't get a tour or any information at all.) They told me to start on a machine. I have never been to a gym in my life, I was very overwhelmed!
I started with my trainer, very quiet & not much information. She was asking me what types of exercises I wanted to do, again, I have never been to a gym before. She is the trainer, shouldn't she be telling me what to do?? I changed trainers after her & got a really good one. She was my trainer for about 3 1/2 months. If she ever had to cancel on me, she would call me & I also had her cell phone # if I needed to contact her. I showed up to my appt with her in May & was told she quit! No one from the gym called me to let me know or to set me up with anyone else.
I got a new trainer who was also really good until she double booked me! I had a standing appt with her on Wednesdays at 9 am. I show up on 5/23 at 8:45 am and workout for 15 mins. Go up to the counter & myself and another client show up. She asks me if I would mind coming back later. I told her that my schedule is pretty busy (2 kids and the end of school) but I could come back the next day. I show up the next day & she doesn't show up! Another trainer calls her cell phone & she doesn't answer.
I trained with the other trainer & he was OK. I told him to have my regular trainer call me. She called the next day & apologized. The last straw was on July 3rd. My trainer had been on vacation for 2 weeks so we scheduled an appt for 7/3 at 9 am, since she wasn't sure if she would be working for my normal Wednesday appt on 7/4. I get to the gym at 8:45 work out until 9 & another no show! I was mad. This is now the 3rd time of the same trainer not show up. I had only had her for a trainer for 2 months & already had 3 no shows.
I then came home & called the gym to contact corporate. They told me that corporate would respond within 2 hours. Of course, they never respond. I figured with July 4th they were closed. Called the gym 1st thing on Thursday morning & spoke the personal trainer manager. (**) She listened to what I had to say & proceeded to tell me that my trainer went on another vacation, but took care of all her appointments. I guess she never put my appointment in the computer, so she didn't remember she had set one up on that day. ** had told me she had a meeting with the V.P. that afternoon & would bring up the situation with him & would call me as soon as she was done. No calls!
Surprise! I called her cell phone on Friday 7/6 & left a message for her to call me. No calls! So finally on Tuesday I found a number to corporate (very hard to find any corporate phone #'s) I spoke to **. I told her all I wanted was to cancel without paying the 50% charge since I don't feel I should have to pay that. She was going to call the club & then call me back when she resolved the issue. Never heard back from her. Called & spoke to ** on 7/10. Very rude, didn't want to listen to me, & told me that I was refusing service since he wanted to set me up with a 4th trainer. I told him that I just wanted to cancel.
I don't think I was being unreasonable since I had already paid them $96 a month for my training & didn't receive all of my sessions. I didn't even want any money back. I asked to speak with his manager, he said he didn't have one. Hard to believe since every company has some sort of boss. Went on for about 5 minutes of me asking for someone higher than him. Finally got me to Orlando, he was somewhat nicer, but still telling me I can't cancel without paying th 50% charge. He did suspend my account for a month (supposedly without charge, we will see when I get my statement) & offered to set me up with a trainer at a different store.
I am not happy. Who can I speak to, to cancel my membership! This is not acceptable! To have 4 no shows in 5 months! I am a busy person & don't have time to show up & not have my trainer show up. If anyone has any advice as to where to cancel or speak to someone about this, please let me know!

People in Atlanta seem to take advantage of the great outdoors, with this southern city's residents rating the highest likelihood of having sex in the woods (49 percent).

Trojan 2GO Stars in MTV Video Music Award Nominated Music Video
Just as Americans are reporting sexual activity in some untraditional venues, Trojan 2GO is also turning up in some unique spots. In addition to its industry-first retail placement in the checkout aisle, the decidedly portable product is also making a cameo in rock band Cobra Starship's latest music video, "Good Girls Go Bad," which features Leighton Meester.
The Trojan 2GO scene dramatizes the product's portability and convenience. It's shown in a scene where two women in a speakeasy disguised as a bodega purchase the condoms before walking through the bodega's freezer and ending up at a secret party.

In addition to appearing in the MTV Music Award nominated video, Cobra Starship and the makers of Trojan 2GO are celebrating the product's launch with exclusive VIP only concerts in San Francisco and Chicago. Previously, the band and Trojan 2GO held performances in Los Angeles and New York.

I did not have time to post a gut reaction before you posted the detailed info. But, I thought the match was ok, for that demo. I did think the horse struggled a bit with the weight in as much as she could not get her feet up off the ground very fast when transfering from one front leg to the other. I think she was a bit stressed, and if the speed were upped, you'd see it more, I think.
I did not have any problem with the guy's way of riding. Being that tall on a small horse means it's harder , you have nothing under your leg below your knee, and your center of gravity is higher above the horse's.
A 5 foot 4 inch woman at 260 would have to be very fit , and not have all the weight centered in her belly or breasts (top heavy).

In 1819, the 238-ton Essex set sail from Nantucket on a routine voyage for whales. Fifteen months later, the unthinkable happened: in the farthest reaches of the South Pacific, the Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale. Its twenty-man crew, fearing cannibals on the islands to the west, decided instead to sail their three tiny boats for the distant South American coast. They would eventually travel over 4,500 miles. The next three months tested just how far humans could go in their battle against the sea as, one by one, they succumbed to hunger, thirst, disease and fear. ... This is a timeless account of the human spirit under extreme duress, but it is also a story about a community and about the kind of men and women who lived in a forbidding, remote island like Nantucket. -- Dust jacket.

Steve Kuechler, president of the Sunflower Kennel Club of Olathe, Kansas, wrote to tell us about the club's back-to-back all-breed shows, along with three obedience and two rally trials, to be held Friday, May 10, through Sunday, May 12, 2013, at the Kansas Expocentre Complex in Topeka. The companion events will be open to AKC Canine Partners. more
The Sydney Royal show, held over 10 days at Easter each year, is one of the biggest of its kind anywhere in the world – and that's not even talking about the dogs. The "Royal" shows in Australia are so called because they are hosted by the Royal Agricultural Society, which means they offer a fantastic smorgasbord of everything that country life can offer. more

First Things First Every Day: Daily Reflections- Because Where You're Headed Is More Important Than How Fast You Get Thereby Stephen R. Covey
Chapter 1
January 1
Basing our happiness on our ability to control everything is futile. While we do control our choice of action, we cannot control the consequences of our choices. Universal laws or principles do. Thus, we are not in control of our lives; principles are.
p. 12*
All page references are to First Things First.
January 2
We live in a modern society that loves shortcut techniques. Yet quality of life cannot be achieved by taking the right shortcut. There is no shortcut. But there is a path. The path is based on principles revered throughout history. If there is one message to glean from this wisdom, it is that a meaningful life is not a matter of speed or efficiency. It's much more a matter of what you do and why you do it than how fast you get it done.
p. 12
January 3
The power is in the principles.
p. 14
January 4
Be governed by your internal compass, not by some clock on the wall.
p. 16
January 5
If the thing you've committed to do is principle-centered, you gradually become a little more principle-centered. You keep the promise to yourself and your own integrity account goes up. One of the best ways to strengthen our independent will is to make and keep promises. Each time we do, we make deposits in our Personal Integrity Account. This is a metaphor that describes the amount of trust we have in ourselves, in our ability to walk our talk. It's important to start small.
p. 68
January 6
For most of us, the issue is not between the "good" and the "bad," but between the "good" and the "best." So often, the enemy of the best is the good.
p. 18
January 7
In the absence of "wake-up calls," many of us never really confront the critical issues of life. Instead of looking for deep chronic causes, we look for quick-fix Band-Aids and aspirin to treat the acute pain. Fortified by temporary relief, we get busier and busier doing "good" things and never even stop to ask ourselves if what we' re doing really matters most.
p. 21
January 8
Paradigms are like maps. They' re not the territory; they describe the territory. And if the map is wrong — if we're trying to get to someplace in Detroit and all we have is a map of Chicago — it's going to be very difficult for us to get where we want to go. We can work on our behavior — we can travel more efficiently, get a different car with better gas mileage, increase our speed — but we're only going to wind up in the wrong place fast. We can work on our attitude — we can get so "psyched up" about trying to get there that we don't even care that we're in the wrong place. But the problem really has nothing to do with attitude or behavior. The problem is that we have the wrong map.
p. 25
January 9
Our problem, as one put it, "is to get at the wisdom we already have."
p. 73
January 10
We're not in control; principles are. We can control our choices, but we can't control the consequences of those choices. When we pick up one end of the stick, we pick up the other.
p. 25
January 11
While you can be efficient with things, you can't be efficient — effectively — with people.
January 12
The way we see (our paradigm) leads to what we do (our attitudes and behaviors), and what we do leads to the results we get in our lives. So if we want to create significant change in the results, we can't just change attitudes and behaviors, methods or techniques; we have to change the basic paradigms out of which they grow.
p. 28
January 13
One thing's for sure: If we keep doing what we're doing, we' re going to keep getting what we' re getting.
January 14
We need to move beyond time management to life leadership.
January 15
It's important to realize that urgency itself is not the problem. The problem is that when urgency is the dominant factor in our lives, importance isn't. What we regard as "first things" are urgent things. We're so caught up in doing, we don't even stop to ask if what we're doing really needs to be done.
January 16
While management is problem-oriented, leadership is opportunity-oriented.
p. 48
January 17
Values will not bring quality-of-life results..,unless we value principles.
January 18
All the wishing and even all the work in the world, if it's not based on valid principles, will not produce quality-of-life results. It's not enough to dream. It's not enough to try. It's not enough to set goals or climb ladders. It's not enough to value. The effort has to be based on practical realities that produce the result.
January 19
The power of principles is that they' re universal, timeless truths. If we understand and live our lives based on principles, we can quickly adapt; we can apply them anywhere.
January 20
To understand the application may be to meet the challenge of the moment, but to understand the principle is to meet the challenge of the moment more effectively and to be empowered to meet a thousand challenges of the future as well.
January 21
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
January 22
Trust grows out of trustworthiness, out of the character to make and keep commitments, to share resources, to be caring and responsible, to belong, to love unconditionally.
January 23
Quality of life is inside-out. Meaning is in contribution, in living for something higher than self.
January 24
Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
January 25
Stand apart from your dreams. Look at them. Write about them. Wrestle with them until you're convinced they're based on principles that will bring results. Then use your creative imagination to explore new applications, new ways of doing things that have the principle-based power to translate dreaming to doing.
p. 64
January 26
To hear conscience clearly often requires us to be "still" or "reflective" or "meditative" — a condition we rarely choose or find.
p. 65
January 27
Make and keep a promise — even if it means you' re going to get up in the morning a little earlier and exercise. Be sure you don't violate that commitment and be sure you don't overpromise and underdeliver. Build slowly until your sense of honor becomes greater than your moods. Little by little, your faith in yourself will increase.
p. 68
January 28
Our lives are the results of our choices. To blame and accuse other people, the environment, or other extrinsic factors is to choose to empower those things to control us.
p. 70
January 29
We choose — either to live our lives or to let others live them for us.
January 30
The best way to predict your future is to create it.
January 31
If a goal isn't connected to a deep "why," it may be good, but it usually isn't best.

I started using Dr. Spitzberg when I was looking for a low vision specialist for my dad. I was impressed with the time he took and the patience he had. I began using him about 5 years ago and have always been extremely pleased with the attention that is paid to my issues. I get very thorough exams and feel very comfortable that together we are doing everything possible to make sure that my vision remains good. I highly recommend Dr. Spitzberg.

While visiting my son I needed to go for an eye exam because of all the straining I was doing with my eyes. I went to Dr. Spitzberg and let me tell you...I loved him and his staff. In all my years of going for eye exams...Dr. Spitzberg was very knowledgeable in his field and asked me a lot of questions to make sure he got me the correct prescription I needed. He is very thorough and I never felt rushed. His staff is also very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend Dr. Spitzberg.

I have a particularly high correction, which is something not every optometrist has experience with. In 50 years of seeing optometrists, Dr. Spitzberg is the best I have dealt with, no question.

My entire family has been been seeing Dr Spitzberg for over 20 years. Every visit is pleasant and painless (in every way). Paula and Sandy handle the front office and optics shop with great professionalism. Dr Spitzberg is a kind and caring man and a true ace at his profession. I would (and have) recommend Dr Spitzberg to anyone seeking a safe, knowledgeble eye doctor.

I cut my eyeball one night and called Dr. Spitzberg's office on the way to work the next morning to see if anything could be done. I haven't ever been to him before but the receptionist said I could come in and they hadn't even opened the office yet. Dr. Spitzberg was very nice and friendly. He explained what happened and even took a picture to show me up close. I will be going back to see him for a regular eye exam soon! I highly recommend him.

Dr. Spitzberg is knowledgeable, personable and detail oriented. He explains what he is doing in his exam and why. Dr. Spitzberg takes time to speak with you without you feeling rushed. We love him as our family optometrist.

Finding Dr. Spitzberg was like a gift from God. With his help my husband actually was able to drive a vehicle 6 years longer than expected with the help of Miniture Telescopic glasses. Dr. S is kind and concerned with the positive outcome. $2000.= glasses

Daft Punk : l'universalité, pour le pire et pour le meilleur. Compte-tenu de sa longueur, le texte est téléchargeable en PDF ici afin d'en simplifier la lecture . * L'inégalité comme mode de fonctionnement * Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories': A Timeline of the Global Teaser Campaign. It started with a Facebook post: Two helmets, one gold and one silver, halved and fused down the center, set against plain black. Then came the 15-second ad, aired during the March 2 episode of "Saturday Night Live"; its first appearance online was through an excited fan's YouTube video of his TV screen.
With each viral salvo, it was clear all bets were off: reclusive electronic music icons Daft Punk were releasing a new album -- eventually revealed as Random Access Memories -- and nothing about how it came to be would prove traditional, in the process unleashing one of the most tactical and innovative marketing campaigns in music business history. October 28, 2008 Daft Punk themselves first tantalize that a new release is on the horizon in a 2008 interview . "Right now we are making music in Paris," de Homem-Christo told Stop Smiling magazine.

Performative Social Science: A Consideration of Skills, Purpose and Context. Volume 9, No. 2, Art. 58 – May 2008 Performative Social Science: A Consideration of Skills, Purpose and Context Brian Roberts Abstract: This article reviews recent work applying a notion of "performance" in the study and representation of lives.
It tries to clarify some of the issues involved—including the meaning of "performance"—and "performative"—the range of possible approaches (e.g., in addition to drama—other arts) and the relationship between "subjects", "researcher" and "audience".

Polaroid and Apple: Innovation Through Mental Invention. Steve Jobs admits to few idols.
But one is Edwin Land, the college dropout who invented the polarizing filters used in everything from car headlights to sunglasses. Land, of course, also invented the Polaroid Land Camera. It happened like this: One time when Land and his three-year-old daughter were in New Mexico, she asked why she couldn't immediately see a photograph that he had snapped. He took a short walk through the desert, pondering that question. By the time he had returned (and it was no more than an hour, he recalled), he had visualized the elements of the instant camera. David Kelley on Designing Curious Employees. Design thinking is a process of empathizing with the end user.
Its principal guru is David Kelley, founder of IDEO and the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (otherwise known as the d.school), who takes a similar approach to managing people. He believes leadership is a matter of empathizing with employees. In this interview, he explains why leaders should seek understanding rather than blind obedience, why it's better to be a coach and a taskmaster and why you can't teach leadership with a PowerPoint presentation.
Kermit Pattison: How has the design thinking model influenced your approach to leading people? David Kelley: The main tenet of design thinking is empathy for the people you're trying to design for. Empathy is not always talked about as a leadership quality. Nathan Myhrvold and collective genius in science. Nathan Myhrvold met Jack Horner on the set of the "Jurassic Park" sequel in 1996.
Horner is an eminent paleontologist, and was a consultant on the movie. Myhrvold was there because he really likes dinosaurs. Between takes, the two men got to talking, and Horner asked Myhrvold if he was interested in funding dinosaur expeditions. Myhrvold is of Nordic extraction, and he looks every bit the bearded, fair-haired Viking—not so much the tall, ferocious kind who raped and pillaged as the impish, roly-poly kind who stayed home by the fjords trying to turn lead into gold.
Ideas to accelerate agency innovation. Me with Scott Prindle, Aaron Shapiro and Tony Signore I just came back from a great session at the Mirren New Business Conference.

Rationality, choice and modernism: Notes on Jon Elster's theory of creativity.
This article sketches an assessment of Jon Elster's theory of creativity in the arts, especially in the context of modernism.
Elster's perspective on constraints in the arts is immensely valuable for thinking through questions of artistic strategies, norms, innovation and originality. The article considers Elster's views on artistic maxima, including a consideration of the distinction between aesthetic and non-aesthetic emotions, and then applies some of his insights to the field of modern poetic discourse as a means of assessing some aspects of his theory. It is argued that Elster's prioritising of classical principles of artistic creativity as against modernist principles is not in fact necessitated by his own theoretical perspective. Indeed, constraint theory is in many ways as applicable to modernism as it is to classicism. 25 Famous Thinkers and Their Inspiring Daily Rituals. Searching for Value in Ludicrous Ideas.

Re: My Trek Through Enterprise: Season One
ZR, I just don't do sports. I'm not saying it's a bad ep, just not one I particularly enjoyed. However I certainly get it that, especially if you are a baseball fan, this would be quite a fun episode. And yes I know people have down times during a war, it just wasn't interesting to me to watch episodes about it when there had been many many non-arc down time episodes in DS9 already. I was into the drive of the war arc and I wanted to stay there, not get taken out of it and especially not to any kind of holosuite whether it was Fontaine or baseball.
If someone does a Firefly watch thread PM me in case I don't see it in the SF forum, I'm pretty sure SW will be over running the place very soon. I've got the set so I can watch it any time, would love to read a first time watch thread. The best part about Firefly IMO was the setting and detail of it, the world itself. And naked Nathan Fillion wasn't bad either.

The extremely popular and award-winning Cinnamon has become a star of the Aberdeen's eating-out scene since it opened in 2005. The usual menu (pakora, kebab, samosa, bhuna, rogan josh, and more) is
bolstered with interesting choices such as crab and red onion dosa starter, and mains of apricot lamb or prawns in sweet lemon and chilli. Branding itself 'nouvelle Indian cuisine', it certainly
makes an effort to escape the constraints of the traditional curry house, but the food is mostly competent rather than truly exciting. Service can be patchy, but the warm, modern decor is a nice
contrast to the generally cold and wet weather outside.

Go look at Martha Casanave's work at www.marthacasanave.com. She did a whole series of images alone the Monterey coast using her pinhole camera. They're quite wonderful. She and Ryuijie Douglas were here in Portland, Oregon for a workshop and the attendees just ate up her work and want her to come back for a pinhole/cyanotype workshop.
To say "Why Pinhole?" is like saying why use Holgas? Why Platinum? Why color? It's a preference. Photography is not one way or another. It fun to experiment. To explore. We currently have the sharpest lens and the ability for the cleanest tonal images but sometimes its fun to outside the box and try something simple like pinhole and sometimes doing this opens another way of seeing an image or a whole series of images.

Actress Megan Mullally and husband Nick Offerman have together recorded a video for the HRC's Americans for Marriage Equality series.
In the video the couple says "Any random man and woman can casually show up at a 24-hour wedding chapel in Vegas, exchange 'I Dos', and boom they're married. So why can't gay and lesbian couples … have the same opportunity?"

The world is changing, and the young are leading the charge. As soon as we vote out the "old thinkers", we will see a much more humane world. Including all races, religions, sexual orientations, and the wide variety of people, can only help us all, in the long run.
you do realise don't you, that nobody is expecting or forcing YOU to marry a gay man?
Great message. I can't wait for the day when this is a non issue and ANY consenting Adult can marry whom ever they choose to marry. If you don't like gay marriage I urge you to marry someone who isn't gay.
Darryl G...Civil Unions do not afford all the rights as marriage. Plus I'm sure Civil Unions are not recognized Federally.
Good for them-Thanks
Darryll G...exactly are they "forcing" anyone to accept their lifestyle? How would their marriage affect you directly? Would it make your marriage any less than what it is right now? And as far as calling it a sin...I suppose you're totally sin free, huh? To me, you judging other based on your bigoted beliefs is a bigger sin than two loving and consenting adults getting married. Unless you can actually walk on water or heal someone by touch, or make a blind person see, then STFU because you're in no position to judge anyone!
Darryll G. because they are not allowed a civil service due to bigots like you. I know your church wants bedroom police because sex is only for procreation not enjoyment and women are slaves to their husbands. I really wish people like you would stop forcing their religious views on other people who may not believe as they do. Everyone should be allowed a civil service and have their relationship viewed as equal under the law not just religious groups, because this relates to who can be with you with you need someone the most. Right now a hospital can deny your life partner the privilege of staying by your bed side because they are the same sex. This is not something a civilized society should have happening to people. You have a right to your views just as I have a right to mine but when you force your views on me that crosses the line and right now that is what a lot of religious people are doing.
