8 Things Learned In My First Year Of Entrepreneurship
The day is gloomy and miserable to you. People around you bicker, fight or even make demands that only benefit themselves. You feel that there is no real way out of this negative situation you are in and that the only true way to "happiness" is what others believe you should do. "Stick to the safe route of the traditional 9-5 job", they say. "Go up the corporate ladder." "You are stupid for not doing this! Be realistic!"
This type of mindset is one out of many why many of us are not ahead in life or happy with the way we live now. Which is why entrepreneurship is looking good for many individuals. It is, in a way, the 21st Century's Gold Rush. I am certainly one of those individuals that is exploring a way out of such a negative rut to realize my capabilities. Through my first year of doing photography I have certainly learned a lot of lessons and still learning more to this day, which is why I am listing the main points I have run into while trying to get started.
Here are a few things to keep in mind during your first year of entrepreneurship.
1. Have Patience
Entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk said it best: the reason people are unsuccessful is the lack of patience. It take time and work to get towards that destination you want for yourself. Anyone that promises an insanely easy way to success is only trying to earn some extra cash off of you. It will take lots of hard work, studying the market and networking. There is no shortcut. Instant success is a myth. Everyone that has achieved "instant success" were working behind the scenes gruelingly with no attention paid to them whatsoever until their projects became popular. Not something a lot of people like to hear, but this what I find true. You want it? Be prepared to go the long haul with near and far future goals to keep you going through those entrepreneurship years. Even then...
2. There Is No 100% Guaranteed Instant Success
The popular buzzword these days is entrepreneurship is the only way to be happy and make it big. This has a lot of people quitting their day jobs early and going full out with their dreams. A lot end up losing for various reasons. Not doing the proper research, not surveying if this is even a viable idea. Thinking that once it's out that they will achieve success instantly. This is very closely tied in to the first point, as in they believe jumping in blindly is the only way to go. The key is not to take risks but to take strategic risks. But one thing to keep in mind when doing this...
3. Don't Plan Forever
This is a step that a lot of people get stuck at. They keep doing the research and constantly search for more info. The problem is that the entrepreneur landscape is always evolving so by focusing on that only, you are stuck in a never ending cycle and never do anything. DO SOMETHING. Keep an eye out on the trends, but it is just as important to take action. So what would prevent you from taking that action?
4. Don't Let Fear Fuel Your Lack Of Action
This is probably one of the biggest reasons a lot of people never jump on achieving that lifelong dream that they feel deep down they wanted to do. Fear of what others would think. Fear of failure. Fear of losing everything. A lot of this comes down to one thing: your own mind is your greatest barrier to success. While there are a lot of things that will try to convince you to quit, in the end you make that final decision in what you will do in life. Be true to yourself instead of living someone else's perspective of what you want to do. So how do you figure out what you want to do or what you want out of life?
5. Take Time To Self-Reflect
You have carried quite a number of years of baggage that has dragged you down. Time to sift through it all. Whether by motivational speeches from people (Such as Tony Robbins or Kyle Cease) or even meditation sessions, you need to find that drive and passion that will act as your fuel to not only go through the rough years ahead, but also find out more about yourself and become a much more positive individual. Simple law of attraction. Negative people will attract other negative people. You shouldn't however use this as an excuse to not even try. Which leads to...
6. Hold Yourself Accountable
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. You need tough skin, be able to move on despite the downturns, and most importantly hold yourself accountable for all of your actions. You are not going to advance in business early on if you invest in extravagant coffee shops and fancy office equipment. You need to invest properly that helps jump your business to where you want to and keep working hard for it. You need to hold yourself accountable for your own actions. Discipline yourself to do the necessary work. No one cares that you don't like the financing part of running a business. Unless you are able to afford someone for that position, you will have to do it yourself and there are plenty of tools out there to help out with that. People working for you are dependent on you to succeed and to lead them with you on the road to success. Time to be a leader and in charge. And in order to do that...
7. You Must Be Consistent
When you are your own boss, you are accountable for everything, including your actions. This also includes being consistent with your work schedule and getting things done. Designate work time periods where you throw out all distractions and focus. No getting sidetracked and goofing around. We are creatures of habit, and in order to change ourselves to this new entrepreneurial lifestyle you must break this into habit form and knock out the old. And throughout this journey there is one harsh truth you will have to face...
8. There Will Be Failures
You will occasionally face failure, especially early on. One thing to keep in mind however: when there is failure, there is opportunity. To learn from the mistakes made and rise up again like a phoenix. Each failure is merely another step towards your ambitions. Whether you take that step up towards a positive fueled future or sit at your current step depressed that you have messed up is entirely up to your mindset.
Everyone has their own reasons for traveling the road of entrepreneurship. Mine are more personal. I have always felt I was stuck for the life of a 9-5 job like everyone else in my family and that there was nothing to look forward to. Since trying to start this business avenue, despite the struggles I have faces, I wouldn't change it any other way. This difficult challenge of succeeding as someone with Asperger's Syndrome is daunting, yet it also makes my soul feel so blissful when I do get to work. It feels as this was what I was meant to do all along. I only need to continue to move forward and push my limits.
What has inspired you to go an entrepreneurial route?

|A United Kingdom • By C. • 0 Comments
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Rosamund's upcoming film "A United Kingdom" has sold its rights to multiple territories.
Pathe International has reported a strong Berlin film market after selling a raft of titles, including the David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike starrer A United Kingdom, to multiple territories.
A United Kingdom, directed by British director Amma Asante (Belle), has gone to Telepool for Germany, Videa for Italy, Paradiso for Benelux, Transmission for Australia/New Zealand, and Mis Label for Scandinavia. The film tells the epic love story of Seretse Khama (Oyelowo), a member of the royal family in Bechuanaland, a former English colony in Africa that would become Botswana, who shocked the world when he married white British bank clerk Ruth Williams (Pike) in 1948.
Pathe also sold the film to Cinemundo for Portugal, Feelgood for Greece, Bir Film for Turkey and Gulf Film for the Middle East. Pathe will distribute A United Kingdom in the UK, France and Switzerland.

TakaraTomy Transformers Encore Skywarp & ThundercrackerPosted: Friday, August 29, 2008 by Shaun in Labels: Takara Tomy, transformers
I've have the Hasbro versions of Skywarp & Thundercracker but was strangely sold by the package of these bots, as well as the option of having properly-sized missiles, not elongated ones. The only other difference is the imprinted Decepticon logos on their nose cones and wings.

In the beginning, there was print media. It was an almost magical way to send out a message and get people to buy things they needed (and sometimes things they didn't need). Then, along came the Internet. It created 2-second attention spans, and destroyed traditional direct marketing – or did it? Many marketers these days say that snail mail is dead. The reality is that it's evolved.
Print Media Marketing Still Alive
According to research from BIA Kelsey, direct mail still has 43 per cent of the total share in local retail advertising. Pitney Bowes also found that 76 per cent of small businesses use both print marketing and digital marketing. So, as a matter of fact, print isn't dead.
Print Media Augments Reality
The cool thing about print media is its ability to interact with digital media in a way that connects users using tactile response. A QR code, for example, lets users hold an informational document in their hands while also exploring the article or document more in-depth using digital technology.
By printing a scannable code right on the document, you can offer prospects and customers a dynamic (and trackable) content upgrade to the printed material.
Of course, printing more informational documents like this requires a lot of ink. So you will want to have them professionally printed by a professional printer like Newton Press.
Print Media Grabs Attention
Direct mail has evolved over the years to include something called "lumpy mail." This mail is literally stuffed with an odd-shaped thing that entices people to open the package. In some cases the "lump" is something like a miniature trash can.
Why would you mail someone a 4cm trash can? Well, some companies may do so to introduce prospects to the idea that they are throwing money away on their current product or service offering.
For example, a company might mail out a miniature trash bin with play money inside (or real money, if one wanted to enhance the effect) along with a sales message about how the prospect is throwing money away. Then, the advertisement would tell the prospect to visit the company's website.
There's A Low Barrier To Entry
There's no real barrier to entry as long as you have money. All you need is a mailing list, a mail house to stuff your envelopes, and some simple tracking mechanism to track sales.
Cost of Acquisition Is Low
You don't have to develop a community of users. You can use cheap door hangers or just rent a list and mail to "hot" prospects. In this sense, print media is infinitely easier than digital marketing.
With online marketing, you almost always have to cultivate a community of users (unless you're playing in the Google Adwords space). Not only does this get expensive, it's time consuming. With print media, your audience is purchased. They exist already, waiting to be mailed to.
It's Exciting
There's still an allure to having something in print. So, if you publish a newsletter with an opinion column that people can write in and comment on, you'll find that people still love to see their name in print.

Brandon Jennings [@YUNGBUCK3] has made headlines for his unconventional road to the NBA — after skipping college he played professional basketball in Europe before getting drafted by the Bucks in 2009 — but now he's making headlines for his tweets.
Last weekend Jennings tweeted 15 minutes after the Bucks game against the Trailblazers ended. That's a big no-no in the NBA, as the league's social media policy spells out that players aren't allowed to tweet post-game until the team has finished talking to the media. The cost for Jennings' Twitter hiccup? A hefty $7,500.
The tweet in question is rather benign. It reads, "Back to 500. Yess!!! "500″ means where doing good. Way to Play Hard Guys."
But that's clearly not the point. Jennings broke an established rule, and the NBA needs to follow through with the fine in order to set a precedent and make a statement to other players who are all-a-TwitterTwitter
Of course Jennings was none-to-happy about the amount of the fine, and he turned to Twitter to voice his malcontent about the price of his preemptive tweet. "I understand I got fined, but 7500? For being happy over a win, you would of thought I said something bad. I mean it was a big win for us."
He later apologized for the behavior, said it wouldn't happen again, and even talked about deleting his Twitter account. Given that he deleted his original account after a YouTubeYouTube
incident earlier in the year, and then took to his Facebook Page to share with his fans that he had a new account, we have a feeling that Jennings will stick around on Twitter for awhile longer.
Now that we've seen a plethora of athletes penalized for their poor Twitter behavior — Antonio Cromartie, Larry Johnson, and members of the Texas Tech football team — these occurrences are starting to become commonplace. So who will be the next athlete to say too much on Twitter? Who knows, but we do expect some Twitter sparks to fly this weekend when the Chargers and the Bengals (Ochocinco's team) face each other on the field in San Diego.

So, the NBA wants manage the flow of information and has to use a negative approach to do that. It seems this is mostly about keep the mainstream media happy and not about any kind of value creation for the league. I imagine it will go away once league officials decide that it really isn't in their interest to limit the connection between the players and fans.

Are branches burned, or will they be burned? (Matt 3:10)
I have been spending some time reading the update of the Homan Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), thankfully renamed Christian Standard Bible (CBS). I don't think God's Word should carry a human name.
I find myself liking it. It does use an anaphoric "he" when referring back to a singular antecedent, which will limit its use to those cultures in which "he" includes women and men, but it does make translation much easier. "How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers! Instead, his delight is in the LORD's instruction, and he meditates on it day and night" (Ps 1:1-2).
But what I really like is how it is willing to break with tradition. Luke 2:7 reads, "Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped him tightly in cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them." The old "swaddling" makes no sense to most readers (ESV), and "wrapped Him in cloths" is meaningless, albeit historically accurate (NASB). And it was a guest room and not an inn where they stayed since there were no inns in those days. But I was sad to see the change from "feeding trough" (HCSB) to "manger" (CSB) because "feeding trough" was exactly right. I hope that change wasn't due to political pressure.

This Harley is a cross between a chopper and a drag bike
Is it a mix of the Fat Boy and Street Bob? That's the immediate question that sprung to mind when I first heard about the Fat Bob. And, after seeing the motorcycle and riding it, I concluded that it actually is a mix. Not actually between the Street Bob and Fat Boy, but between cult choppers and drag bikes. And it gets the 'Fat' tag from its massive front end, with a fat 130-section tyre and thick forks. So, what's the Fat Bob like? Typically American: It sits low, is quite big, and looks imposing. Our test bike was bright orange (it suddenly seems to be the preferred colour among nearly half a dozen motorcycles that have been launched in the past twelve months). The distinct identity that the colour lends is enhanced by the dual headlights finished in chrome. Twin headlights were trending a decade ago, but do not look outdated even today, especially in chrome. There's loads of chrome all around: The front forks, handlebar, instrument pod, airbox, engine, exhausts, and rear suspension.
The clocks sit on the fuel tank like most other Harleys, and the dummy fuel cap on the left, which is actually the fuel gauge, is a nice touch. The overall styling is tilted towards the classic look. Sitting under the fuel tank is the familiar fuel-injected 1,690 cc V-twin (popularly known as the Twin Cam 103 engine). Peak torque produced is 135 Nm at 3,500 rpm. This engine is known for the loads of torque it offers even at low revs, and is mated to a six-speed gearbox with adequately spaced ratios, making it well suited for both city roads and highways.The engine, when cranked up, is not as loud as several other Harleys; it hints towards the Night Rod's sporty sound. Open the throttle in any gear, and there's tractor-like torque on offer. There's a sense of solidness to the engine peculiar to most Harleys. That's how the Americans like it: Big, burly motorcycles with enough torque to uproot a tree stump. The Fat Bob's light front end is a bit of a surprise, but very welcome. This makes traffic riding a breeze despite its dimensions. The rear dampers are one of the most comfortable ones. In conjunction with the relaxed riding position, it makes it an ideal highway machine as well.

Latest Road Conditions From TxDOT
Here is the latest update on Texas road/highway conditions, courtesy of TxDOT:
***** Sunday 12/8/13 5 p.m. UPDATE *****
TxDOT MAKES PROGRESS REMOVING ICE FROM ROADWAYS, CAUTION STILL NEEDED FOR MONDAY MORNING COMMUTES AS TEMPERATURES FALL
Roads much better, but bridges remain a problem in North Texas due to black ice risk
AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Transportation Sunday opened all major highways in the areas of the state hardest hit by a winter storm, but continues to urge drivers to use extreme caution as they could encounter stretches of black ice Monday morning after temperatures fall below freezing again.
By early afternoon, Interstate 20 between Fort Worth and Eastland was reopened in both directions. Traffic was at a standstill for much of the overnight Saturday into Sunday on the interstate because of accidents resulting from a thick layer of ice. Interstate 35 north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and U.S. 75 in Sherman and Denison were in the clearing stages.
Though roadways were cleared, icy slush still remains along the sides of many roads. TxDOT crew members who worked around the clock throughout the weekend planned to continue de-icing and sanding efforts overnight Sunday to reduce the impacts of refreezing. Despite this work, drivers are urged to use extreme caution in the morning because of the potential for black ice, which appears as dry pavement. Ice on bridges and overpasses will continue to be a concern in the impacted areas. In many affected areas, TxDOT's signs will warn drivers of the following:
"Watch For Black Ice on Bridges, Drive with Caution"
Drivers are urged to follow these precautions:
Reduce speed. Speed limits are based on normal road and weather conditions, not winter road conditions. Do not use cruise control.
• Maintain at least three times the normal following distance on snow or ice.
• Watch carefully for personnel and equipment treating roadways, and stay at least 200 feet back from road crews.
• Use extra caution on bridges, ramps, overpasses and shaded areas as they tend to freeze first.
Carry extra warm coats, gloves and boots in case you get stranded.
• If you start to slide, ease off the gas pedal or brakes. Steer into the direction of the skid until you feel you have regained traction, then straighten your vehicle.
Over the weekend, TxDOT has had nearly 1,100 pieces of equipment and 1,700 employees working to clear roadways in North Texas.
Motorists can obtain travel information by calling (800) 452-9292. Road conditions and traffic updates available on Facebook, www.facebook.com/txdot and Twitter, www.twitter.com/txdot.

Welcome to issue #16 of TWiM!
If you would like updates like this emailed to you, subscribe at thisweekinmeteor.com
Updates in Meteor Core (MDG)
Optimistic UI with Meteor
This is a fantastic blog post by Sashko Stubailo, a core developer at Meteor, about how Meteor enables "Optimistic UI" updating. In short, due to the way data flows in Meteor, the user can get an instant response from your application and then if something does end up going wrong, it will give them an error. I highly recommend reading the blog post, it goes in some depth about it and is a good ideal to keep in mind when building any application with a UI.
What does it mean to be a Real-Time Database - Meteor SF Devshop
Slava Kim, a core developer at Meteor, talks about Meteor's architecture and how the data flows. It is a really great talk and he does a fantastic job going into enough detail to properly explain what an "Optimistic UI" is. Then, he goes on to talk about his work on the RethinkDB package and how it compares with the way Mongo / MiniMongo is implemented in Meteor currently. It is very interesting and I highly recommend watching this if you want to learn more about how Meteor works and modern real-time database architectures work.
Updates in the Meteor Community
Meteor Reactivity for Nested Objects
This is a great new package that allows you to have reactivity on nested objects. It exposes a simple API and can be very useful for some developers.
Scopemount Theme Galileo
This is another great free theme created for Telescope-based projects. It is really great to see people creating themes for Telescope and I hope as other open source Meteor projects spawn, they take this same model to allow for easy customization.
Telescope Homepage Redesign
Speaking of the Telescope project, Sacha has been hard at work for the past couple weeks with refactoring the open source application and now he has added a whole new design for the website. It is really nice and has some more features like a one-click deploy button.
Meteor Routing and Layouts
This is a great tutorial on the basics of routing in Meteor and using that functionality to also render appropriate layouts and templates. It shows the examples with Iron Router, but you could easily port those examples to use another router like Flow Router. This is a good tutorial for those having trouble understanding how routing works with the UI since this is very focused on just that.
AMA with Arunoda Susiripala
Arunoda, for those of you that don't know, is a very active Meteor community member and has contributed various projects such as Flow Router, Kadira, BulletProof Meteor, and many more. I highly recommend reading his responses to these questions. It isn't something I can summarize unfortunately.
Meteor UI Pattern - Keeping App State on the URL
The MeteorHacks team wrote a blog post that explains why it is important to keep your app states managed by the URL. It is a very interesting article and I personally believe it is a good pattern to follow for most cases. I think all Meteor developers should read this, it is something to keep in mind while developing your apps.
Meteor SQL and Other Databases
This is an awesome article by the people at Compose.io, a production-ready hosted database solution, which talks a bit about the Meteor platform and the continuous advances on database support for Meteor. It is very well written and goes through newer packages like the Meteor-PostgreSQL integration and RethinkDB. This can easily be viewed as another good endorsement for Meteor. :-)
Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe
This is a blog post that goes through the issue of storing API keys other "secret" information that you should not be exposing to the user. In order to solve that, you can use a
settings.json file. Pete Corey shows you how to implement and use it in your Meteor application.
Meteor and Backbone
The great people at MixMax wrote a blog post on how they implemented a reactive front end in Backbone that hooks up to their Meteor backend. It is going to turn into an open source Backbone library for anyone to use. I see this as a really big integration. Backbone is very widely used, especially in larger corporations. If they can slowly convert their back end system to Meteor, then be able to use an open source library to make their Backbone-based front end real time easily, it can potentially be feasible for them to port over. I see this adding on to other communities around front end libraries like Angular and React. It just goes to show you how powerful and flexible Meteor's architecture is.
SpaceTalk 0.1.0 is out!
The first version of SpaceTalk is released! The best description / summary of the project thus far is given by Tim in the crater description. To paraphrase the quote:
It's been two weeks since I first started this project, and now we're at 15 contributors, 86 stars on Github, 52 forks, 56 PRs, 46 issues and 168 people on Slack. I'm amazed at what this community can achieve in such little time. Feel free to join the chat during my demo at http://spacetalk.meteor.com.
Meteor SF Devshop - May 2015
If you missed the dev shop, I highly recommend watching it online on YouTube (click on the title above). There are great talks and a lot of demonstrations of apps built with Meteor.
That's all for this week! Tune in next week for more updates in the Meteor universe.

This mixte frame, 27 inch wheeled bike was rescued from the trash by my friend Randy in 1998. Randy's wife Marilyn needed a ladies 3 speed which I just happened to have. The trade was made and all were happy. I was surprised to learn that this bike was made in England. All of the components have the name "Raleigh" on them but are mostly of Suntour manufacture. There is a gold decal on the downtube that states that Raleigh won the world team championship in 1978. The bike is relatively light for its time and price, weighing in at 26 lbs. All the components are alloy except the wheels and rear wheel hub. The bike is in good condition except that the wheels are rusty. I have not ridden the bike in two years and then only briefly. I recently rode the bike and was surprised at how well it rode. It is a very nice riding bike.
I hope you enjoyed looking at this bike and I welcome your comments.

When I first arrived in Franz Josef from Queenstown, I was originally only supposed to stay for two days. Those two days turned into five as I waited out a rain delay (the West Coast is by far the rainiest part of the country) for the next crazy adventure: heli hiking on a glacier. And I'm sure glad I waited because the day I finally went up was sunny and spectacular!
Heli hiking is exactly what it sounds like: you get dropped off by helicopter to some remote backcountry destination and hike around. Since the Franz Josef Glacier has been inaccessible by foot for a little while now, flying in is the only option (unless you're a mountain goat). Was it amazing? Absolutely. Expensive? It did put a dent in my budget, but it was totally worth it.
I went on the Ice Explorer tour with Franz Josef Glacier Guides which offered both a walk on the glacier and a helicopter ride (something I've always wanted to do). They do offer another option that's simply called the Heli Hike, which gives you more time in the air for about NZD $100 more, but you spend more time on the ice with the Ice Explorer option. They supply most of the gear you'll need: rain jacket, wool socks, waterproof boots, crampons, and if it's cold enough they give you gloves and a hat. The only essentials they ask you to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen, and a few layers of warm clothing. Since it was so warm out, we really didn't need the extra clothes. I felt just fine in a long sleeved shirt and shorts. After we collected our gear, our guide showed us how to put the crampons on and had a short briefing on helicopter safety before heading out to the helipad.
Apparently the Franz Josef heliport is the busiest in the country. You can hear the rotors echoing through the otherwise sleepy little town all day. I had never flown in a helicopter before and was honestly more excited about that than walking on the glacier itself. It was sort of like riding an elevator—very smooth and not bumpy at all. The flight was short—only 5 minutes or so—but it was awesome. We flew straight up into the mountains up the valley where we could see the whole glacier from bottom to top. The Franz Josef Glacier(and the nearby Fox Glacier) are actually quite unique in that they are just two of three in the world (the other being in Argentina) that descend all the way down into a temperate rain forest. Once we landed safely on the ice, we put our crampons on and headed out into the icefall.
My group consisted of myself, two couples, and six lovely British girls—a nice group of people to spend a day on the ice with. Our guide, Rohan (it may or may not have been spelled "Rowan", but in spirit of LOTR I liked to think it was "Rohan"), did a great job leading us through the icy terrain. He explained that a glacier must have three qualities in order to be classified as a true glacier: the mass must be made up of ice, must be moving, and must remain year-round. Essentially, a glacier is like a massive frozen river. And we were heading right into the "rapids," known as the icefall. Just like when moving water turns frothy when it hits larger rocks or drops down, the ice cracks and buckles as where the glacier bed steepens and narrows. This is where crevasses and ice caves are formed, and we spent a good portion of the hike navigating through and around them.
At one point in the hike we got to go into one of the caves where the ice was incredibly blue. I was sure I had actually flown to the planet Hoth where a Wampa would jump out at any second, but fortunately that never happened. It was very surreal walking inside the glacier—I've never seen anything like it before.
The tour lasted three hours, which I thought was plenty of time to be on the ice. We made our way back to the rendezvous point and we were off again on a short hop flight back into town. This time we had a view of the ocean as we descended past the rain forest covered hills. Truly a unique place–it's not everyday that you find glaciers so close to the sea and at a latitude closer to the equator than the South Pole. Upon landing we returned our gear and headed off to soak in the hot pools in town, which was included with the tour. Not a bad way to end a day on the ice!

NBC awoke this morning to heartbreaking news: Its new reality romp Ready for Love flatlined in the ratings Tuesday night.

Dude. Three days till Christmas. Two by the time most of you read this.
You got twenty minutes to kill? Because it's time for a holiday classic. If you haven't seen the episode of The Tick simply titled The Tick Loves Santa, then I apologize. I have been a bad friend. And I am rectifying that situation right now.
No, I'm serious. Watch this. (It'll probably take less time than reading all of yesterday's post ;-)
Merry Christmas.

Romans 1:13-17 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

This Turkish inside/outside workforce missed a bunch of games in the last few years because of his injuries but his stock started to grow when he played a wonderful backup role to Ben and Rasheed Wallace in the Detroit Pistons' championship run in 2004. And then he signed with the Utah Jazz where he averaged 18.0 points per game and 9.1 rebounds per game in the 2005-06 NBA season.
Here's another Turkish basketball juggernaut whose game resembles that of Toni Kukoc. Admittedly, I was a fan of Hedo when he played for the Sacramento Kings (his parents were born in Serbia) but it's with the Orlando Magic that he became scoring threat – averaging 19.5 points per game and 5.7 rebounds per game for the Magic in the 2007-08 NBA season.
This two-time NBA All-Star also represented the United States in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics (Filipinos know this as the Olympics where Anthony Villanueva won a silver medal in boxing). Hazzard had his best year while playing for the Seattle Supersonics (24.0 points per game, 4.2 rebounds per game, and 6.2 assist per game) in the inaugural season in 1967. His number was retired by UCLA in 1996 but gave permission to let a standout newcomer use it. Perhaps he thought Kevin Love would become a successful player eventually. He would later change his name to Mahdi Abdul-Rahman and it stayed that way until his death on November 18, 2011.
When he joined the Sacramento Kings in the 2005-06 season and the Kings scored a playoff spot, Reef ended a dubious record of playing the most number of NBA games without a playoff appearance. Originally drafted by the Vancouver Grizzlies in the 1996 NBA Draft, Reef averaged 18.1 points per game and 7.5 rebounds per game in a 12-year injury-plagued run. He also represented USA in the 2000 Sydney Olympics where he won a gold medal.
One of the most popular and hated players of his time, Sheed was the fourth overall pick by the Washington Bullets in the 1995 NBA Draft. He was the leader of the terrorizing Portland Trail Blazers of the late 90's but it is with the Detroit Pistons where he won a NBA title. The four-time NBA All-Star also had a dubious record of all-time technical fouls with 304. He never backs down when the going gets tough and can drain the rainmakers in awesome accuracy.
If you're not a New York Knicks fan back then, you'll probably be annoyed the "L" gesture he does whenever he hits a trey. "Grandma" was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in 1991 and had an Alvin Patrimonio-type of career where he started out a ferocious power forward but ended his career as a deadshot outside shooter. He is a one-time All-NBA Second Team, a two-time NBA-All Star, a former Rookie of the Year, and played alongside Shaquille O'Neal and Reggie Miller on Dream Team 2. He also the only player to have his talent get crapped at by the Looney Tunes.
Alongside Bill Walton and Coach John Wooden, "Smooth as Silk" would stir UCLA to a lot of championships. In the NBA, his winning streak continued where he won a title with the Golden State Warriors and three plums with the Los Angeles Lakers. He averaged 17.7 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game in a 12-year career. A three-time All-Star and the 1975 Rookie of the Year, he received his highest citation by being inducted in the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2012. He is a valuable teammate to many and even if he got dethroned by James Worthy at his spot in his later years, he managed to do his best despite limited minutes.
In some ways, I find it hard to believe that I'm writing this. This is the same jolly guy who cracks jokes, does a lot of wacky endorsements, and says things without thinking. I am a fan of Shaq but I was thinking on whether or not inserting Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and taking him off the list is a good idea. Fact is, Shaq's dad is a Muslim. In an interview he told everyone that Hakeem Olajuwon is his brother and he'd like the idea of him and Hakeem going to Mecca together. And oh yeah – Shaq is a one-time MVP, multiple time All-NBA First, Second, and Third Team member, a 15-time All-Star, an Olympic Gold Medalist, a Rookie of the Year winner, and a future Hall of Famer.
Shocked? Oh do tell. The former Lew Alcindor was undoubtedly the best college player in time of the 1968 Mexico Olympics but he didn't want to do anything with the United States as objection for the country's participation to the Vietnam War. And then, he changed his name because he wanted to latch on his heritage and that he wants to educate the black people that they came from a positive culture. But then he also sued Miami Dolphins' running back Karim Abdul-Jabbar after the former UCLA standout (same school as Kareem) twisted his name and used the number 33 (same number as Kareem) as sort of milking off his popularity. Nonetheless, Kareem is the most decorated NBA player ever with six MVPs, 10 First Teams, five Second Teams, two Finals MVPs, 19 All-Star citations, and a Hall of Fame ring.
Yes, I said it. This Hall of Famer is my top choice for my best. Kareem should have been here but then I thought that I wanted my Best Player to combine his skills with his devotion to his religion. I am not saying that most in the list aren't devout Muslims but the climb to the NBA must be different for Olajuwon. As a kid growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, he was raised to follow the teachings of Islam ardently. That would have been trying especially when he made the trip to US where the sins of success are at its height. Because he didn't understand the American ideals, he would go into fights with his teammates and this all changed with him becoming an even more devout Muslim. Even with the frustrating NBA schedule, The Dream remains unfazed in practicing the ideals of his religion. In 1995, he was named NBA Player of the Month even though Ramadan began on February 1 of that year. Olajuwon won a gold medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and finished his career as a 1-time MVP, a multiple-time All-NBA Team member, the only player to win the MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and Finals MVP in one season, and the all time leader in blocks.

Switching Teams?
Coulter Campaigning for a Democrat
Is Ann Coulter becoming a Democrat? Not quite. The conservative pundit is still a Romney supporter, but she'll speaking on behalf of Democratic presidential primary candidate Randall Terry. Coulter was naturally drawn to Terry's campaign because he is a pro-life activist, best known for advertisements with graphic images of aborted fetuses and for accusing Christian Obama supporters of "having blood on their hands." She is such a fan of Terry's pro-life agenda that she admittedly "might be torn" between him and Romney in the unlikely event that Terry beats Obama in the Democratic primary.

Many other breeds followed, including the Explorer series.
Hybrid teas have beautifully formed large sized blooms with high centered budding. They stand upright on long single stems adding to the elegance of the flower. The diameter of the flower varies in between 8 to 12 cm. Tea hybrids will grow in a straight shrub pattern and attains a height up to 1.8 meters, with regular blooms throughout the season.

Double delight rose: This is a strongly fragranced flower. It grows as tall as 150 cm and blooms double colored flowers with the shade of white inside and deep red on the edges. This rose typically has 32 petals.
Camp David: This flower first appears as a black bud and opens up to a spectacular red color. This is a great addition to a bouquet.
Mister Lincoln: It has a very strong fragrance and beautiful well spread red color. The bloom size is of 30 to 35 petals. It was introduced in the year 1964 and grows up to the height of 1.2 meters. Hardiness zone is from USDA zone 5-9, which makes it good for cooler climates.

MWH Global
"This study has provided first class feedback from our key clients and the extensive and insightful analysis by MarketingWorks, with their recommendations, has given us a powerful foundation on which we are building our plans for the future."
The situation: to review alignment with clients mid-framework
MWH, specialists in water & wastewater treatment, environmental engineering, sustainable construction & construction management, required an independent specialist research consultancy to:
- Uncover the perceptions of their key water industry clients on future trends and issues
- Provide valuable and actionable feedback to be used by key client teams to develop relationships in line with the current and future requirements of their clients
- Position MWH as its clients' best choice for future long-term contracts
The company had achieved success in both retaining six existing key client frameworks and winning two new framework clients through initiatives based on the findings of a Key Client Relationship Survey undertaken in 2007 by the leading construction win work specialist MarketingWorks. So, in 2012, MWH approached MarketingWorks to develop a similar programme across the enlarged group of key clients.
Our Solution
MarketingWorks worked with the senior MWH team to refine the interview topic guide and develop a list of clients and contacts to ensure that feedback would be of strategic value to the company.
A schedule of over thirty face-to-face and fifteen telephone interviews was arranged and carried out for the study by MarketingWorks, who then analysed the results and prepared an in-depth and insightful analysis of the feedback.
A report of the conclusions, with extensive commentary and recommendations, was presented to the senior team at MWH's Strategic Summit.
The Result
With a clearer appreciation of the global expectations of their clients beyond project delivery and seeing the opportunity to align with the objectives of their clients and to develop closer relationships with them, the MWH senior team took immediate action to set up a central administration team, reallocating twelve people with a £1 million budget to put into action the change initiatives recommended by MarketingWorks.
They also invited MarketingWorks to present the client feedback and MarketingWorks' recommendations to an AMP 6 planning event with all of the account teams to cascade the insight and ownership.
The MWH operational teams valued sharing the challenges and opportunities identified across the water industry. They recognised the value of collaborating across teams to develop added value solutions for clients whilst also gaining greater efficiencies.

"It is looking for buyers for some of its projects and downstream assets," the anonymous source told the news agency. "It is also seeking to bring in a strategic investor to take a stake in the company."
No further details were revealed regarding how many assets are up for sale or how this would affect the shareholders.
In other news concerning Chinas biggest photovoltaic manufacturer, its main European subsidiary has been granted a provisional moratorium for two months on creditor claims by the judicial authorities in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
Suntech Power International Ltd (SPI) had applied for the provisional moratorium as a result of over-indebtedness, a requirement under local law and regulations. The majority of SPI's debt is Suntech inter-company debt. The court has appointed an administrator to assess SPI's financial condition and restructure its debt. SPI will continue its operations and serve its European customers during this period.
"The goal of the provisional moratorium is to allow time to restructure debt, primarily inter-company debt. During this process, we are committed to continuing to deliver high-quality solar products to our customers in Europe," said David King, Suntech's CEO.
Meanwhile, Suntech has been notified on April 9 by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that the photovoltaic manufacturer did not meet the NYSEs price criteria for continued listing standard because, as of April 4, the average closing price of the companys American Depositary Shares, or ADS, was less than 1 US$ per ADS over a consecutive 30-trading-day period.
Under NYSE rules, Suntech has six months following receipt of the notification to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. In a statement the company said today that it would solve its deficiency within the prescribed timeframe. During this period, the company will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE.

On Wednesday, Marc shared his journey to veganism, along with insight on working in a corporate environment (which often means dining with clients in steakhouses), shopping for professional vegan clothing and accessories, and why changing the way he cooked wasn't much of a challenge. He said:
Unless a recipe blatantly requires meat, I can pretty much look at any recipe and veganize it - especially with the ingredients that exist today.
That evening that we talked, Marc was planning to make one of those veganized dishes - Seitan Steaks. Today, he shares that recipe with you.
Marc's Seitan Steaks
by Marc B.
Ingredients for Seitan
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 dashes garlic powder
Ingredients for Broth
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups water
- 1/8 cup soy sauce
Ingredients for Seitan Steaks
- One recipe, homemade seitan (see below)
- Steak marinade (Most are vegan. Weber's and McCormick's are personal favorites.)
Directions to make Homemade Seitan:
- Mix all of the ingredients for the seitan together with a fork, and shape into a loaf.
- Cut in half and set aside.
- Mix all of the ingredients for the broth together and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce to simmer and place the two pieces of homemade seitan into the broth.
- Let simmer for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, carefully remove seitan from broth and let cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the seitan as desired: thick slices to resemble small steaks or cutlets, or cubed for kabobs.
Directions to make Seitan Steaks:
- Marinate the seitan pieces in steak marinade for 15 - 20 minutes.
- Once marinated, cook the "steaks" on the grill. Tip: Watch carefully as it cooks, flipping often, as the seitan cooks pretty fast. Let it slightly blacken in spots, to give it that traditional seal on the grill flavor.
- Serve with a side of vegetables or potatoes - enjoy!
Another option for eating and enjoying: Cut the grilled seitan into thin slices and use them for vegan "steak" fajitas!

Signature"As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy."

"For decades the public use of your national hero's name has been banned, so my idea is that if you really want a dramatic change of image, you should call yourselves the Ghengis Khan Party." Enkhbold, Batbold and Olga all stared at Tom as he added," It will signal to the voters that you have broken away from the Soviets and that you are embarking on a new era of Mongolian nationalism."
Olga interpreted Tom's words. Enkhbold and Batbold leaned towards each other and had a quick discussion, after which Enkhbold spoke to Olga.
She smiled at Tom. "Mr Enkhbold thinks your ideas are crazy and dangerous. He wants a new report with some more practical suggestions."
Tom smiled back at her. "How about you, Olga? Do you think my ideas are crazy?"
She shrugged. "I don't know, but they could be dangerous, especially for people like me."
Tom raised his eyebrows. He started to ask, "Why?" But he was interrupted by Batbold:
"Thank you. You can go now."
Tom stood up and went to take his report back from Batbold, who was holding it in his hand.
Batbold looked up at him with a hint of a smile. "No, I want this."
When Tom reached the end of the corridor, he stopped, listened and looked around. Should he go up the stairs instead of down? He wondered more than ever about what happened on the third floor. What were all those thuds about? But just as he had made his decision and taken his first tentative step up the stairs, he heard voices. Tom stepped back into the corridor and watched two men in black coats hurry up the stairs. Once they'd passed, he headed back down to his office.
When he entered, Shishmishig looked up from his newspaper. "Did Mr Enkhbold like your report?"
"I don't think so."
A look of concern spread across Shishmishig's face "You didn't mention my name, did you?"
Tom laughed and sat down. "No, I didn't."
As he reached down to take his Teach Yourself Mongolian book out of his briefcase he thought to himself, so much for my brilliant idea. He spent the rest of the day studying and practising Mongolian with Shishmishig, who was impressed by the foreigner's interest in his native language; none of the Russians he had ever known, even those who'd lived in Mongolia for years, had bothered to learn any.
At five o' clock, Tom followed Shishmishig out of the office door and collected his coat and fur hat from Mrs Jargal. The black Zil limousine was waiting outside with its engine running. The car interior smelled, as usual, of body odour, vodka and cigarettes. As they drove across the city centre, Tom saw that there were more armed soldiers out on the frozen streets.
They followed a truckload of troops into
Tom got out of the limousine, but didn't enter the hotel. Instead he turned towards the crowd. They looked like students. Two of them were holding poles between which stretched a white banner. Tom couldn't understand everything that was written on it, but he recognized MDP – Mongolian Democratic Party. They were the opposition.
He walked past one of the soldiers to the edge of the crowd. Everybody looked nervous, but Tom didn't care because in the middle of the crowd was someone in a blue coat he desperately wanted to reach.
He breathed heavily in the cold air. "Hello, Sarantuya," he said as nonchalantly as he could, after pushing through the crowd.
"Hello." She seemed genuinely pleased to see him. He had expected her to be embarrassed.
He wanted to blurt out straight away, "Why didn't you come?" But, he didn't know enough Mongolian. Then Saran said something to a middle-aged man in gold-rimmed spectacles and a black trilby hat, who was standing next to her. The man turned to Tom and said in almost flawless English, "Can I help you?"
Tom smiled, "Well, yes you can. Do you think there will be any fighting here?"
"It's possible, but your presence might help. The soldiers probably think you are Russian, and they are on your side, at least for now."
Tom shivered. It was getting dark and the temperature was dropping fast. "Would you like to walk out of here with me?"
The man spoke to Sarantuya. She nodded. The three of them linked arms and pushed their way out of the crowd. The soldiers looked tense, but let them pass. When they reached the front of the hotel, Tom asked the man, "Could you do me favour?
"Yes. What?"
"Could you interpret for us, please?"
Tom looked at Sarantuya, "I waited for you that night."
She glanced up at him from under her grey fur hat. "But didn't you get my message?"
"No. What message?"
To be contd.

There are two basic types of cables, patch cables and crossover cables. I have a Cable modem more do they need to do? I admit, I scrounged them from a pile of extra cables Dell PCs running Win XP. Hi all, I've been having some slow internet issues and there a difference?
So is a dark blue one connecting the modem to the router. Thanks! Any CAT5 cable should be fine of cable for my home network? The crossover cables are intended to connect two NIC's at work, not knowing if they were the "right kind" or not. Hey, they plugged int othe router...what labeled, but not always.
Should I have a certain type was told that it might be due to my cables. This may sound dumb, but does the color fo the cable mean anything? I have a grey one and a blue one with hooked to a Netgear wired router. From the router are two for your uses, and the color means nothing.
Normally, crossover cables are directly, they swap the transmit/receive pairs, patch cables are 1:1.
Bad Cables on network
Ohhh and adhoc is not an option.(i tend to use the wireless for ps3,wii,iphone,laptop network, if not bad they are too long. It works somehow, i also solved the problem of no wireless by Sparklan wx6800II, but because of the bad cables,
they wont autonegotiate to fix the cables?
before installing drivers for the wireless card. So i have tried it with connect to lan--> wireless ap
the lan router is THOMSON Speed Touch 546
Without hassling my landlord fix, if not all, most my problems(this is what i really want). Some of them work better than others,
but then with XP,
but i found a edited version of the dreaded rt61.
Maybe editing the firmware somehow?(i know this is a longshot)
since that would off my computer
and making it 10Mbps full duplex. Also i seldom get bad pool header etc)
so to the part 2 of the question, i do have a real wireless ap. So i guess that rt61 is there any way to force it to 10mbps full duplex? the ones supplied by windows update(the one that hangs and freezes).
I think i have bad cables on my using the ralink drivers instead of d-link for the dwl-g510 rev c. Anyways i used to have this problem back in the day i cant use connectify(windows 7 beta free soft ap prog). I also have some routers laying around,
if i somehow can use that to several different drivers from ralink and d-link. I fix the problem by switching off Autonegotiation must be the case here too.
Since the windows 7 capabilities ...
network cables
Can i hook up a cat 5e cable with a cat 6 cable?
Sure, they play together just fine.
Need new network cables
Try monoprice.com - cheaper cables, or an old one and how are you routing it? Does it info, please. More shielded? In the green flavor.
Depends on what even matter?
cheaper shipping, same quality.
Should I get it's for, where it's going into, etc. Is it a new building and going into the walls Brand? Unshielded, cat5 or cat6?
Also, Newegg will outright rape you on cable cost + shipping. Something preferably sold on newegg...
Making Network Cables
for this, so here it is.
I had a few requests If you're a do-it-yourselfer or if you like to save some money on networking, I highly recommend using this alternative.
Some CAT5 wiring diagrams. CAT5 Cable Wiring Diagram #1, CAT5 Cable Wiring Diagram #2, CAT5 Cable Wiring Diagram #3
Having a good crimping tool and a little practice with it will help here.
If anyone has anything make a Cross-Over cable. And that's how you to add, feel free.
Running Network Cables
If that's true you are probably fine to use either cable though I would check local code to see what cable ratings are required.
I am getting to install some additional network cables in out office building. The wires won't be running through the air off a poisonous gas that other cabling, such as those with pvc coverings would. Briefly, plenum cable has a teflon covering that when burned does not give through ducts and not circulated through the open (plenum) space above the ceiling.
Riser cable and Plenum cable are ducts but it is all in the same area. What is the difference between defined here (plenum) and here (riser).
Is both cables safe where there is air ducts and fire system. I am running them through the ceiling to use in this application?
From your description it sounds as the the air is running Riser and Plenium Cat5e cable?
Locking in network cables
Just wondering if anybody knows about locking in network cables, network cables keep getting removed by staff, cleaners etc.
Crimpimg my own Network cables
But I having trouble un-twisting on how to get it done properly thanks
strip 2-3x more than you need. You get a more than you need sort them out, make them nice and straight then cut them off straight. Ill see if I can do a little vide and post it..
Is there a good website or does any one have any tips or tricks tool + wire + Ends.
The cutter that strips just the ammount you need is a bunch of BS.
I already have the the wires and sorting them.
Network Crossover Cables
Do I actually need one or will an unshielded one work?Secondly, the that sells sheilded crossover cables (it needs to be 10m long). I went to buy an RJ45 crossover cable today, but someone suggested that I should have sheilded rather than unshielded cable. Maplins didn't have any shielded ones and I can't find anywhere phone socket to connect more than one computer using the same socket?
I want to set up if they are available?
Does anyone know a home network with two client PCs. Can anyone tell me if adapters are available like you can use with a network card in the back of my PC has only one socket.
wiring UTP cables in a network.
Thanks for the help in advance
[SOLVED] network cables
New Network, new cables, but no connection...
Win XP Pro. Yet when we test the network diagnostics it says we try next? New new 802.11g wireless router.
We are running
What should that the link is bad What could cause this? We have a brand new cables but no joy. We've tried several other brand Belkin cables.
Network connecting cables.
Doing it need here click here.
You might find what you Meshuga. once was enough.
the cable going through a wall.
I am using Winxp home and at the moment I have 2 pc,s networked and they are connected via a 10 metre run of crossover cable. They are in adjoining rooms with
network cables outdoors?
I need to run a network cable from upstairs Therefore my question, is it possible to run the network (router) to downstairs where one of my PC's are. Thanks.
Yes, it's waterproof so cables like, waterproof? long as it's not damaged.
are network cable outside, or will it need some sort of proofing? But in the longer term it might suffer from degradation due to the effects of sunlight and general weathering.
Ethernet Network & Cables - TV Fuzzy
Would these shield the wall cavity to link our upstairs & downstairs PCs.
Our home network has cables running down the
other cable from the interference? If I was to buy shielded Cat5e cable, and I know that I there are "shielded" options available.
I assume that this means can get a shielded TV Wall Socket, is this likely to solve the problem?
two UTP cables, doubles the network speed?
SMC sells 8 port gigabit capacity between switch1 & 2? But still can be the network cards in the computers (servers). management capabilies, it might be possible, it depends on the specific hardware. I know that the next bottleneck will routers for around $150.
The switch-switch connection is just en pair of gigabit routers, then you'll have a gigabit link between the router. Can I double the speed between switch1 & switch2 by adding an extra UTP cable (as a kind of backbone)? So that this doubles the And is it usefull?
If it were an intelligent switch with simple CAT5 UTP cable (20 metres).
However, the easy way to solve this problem would be to buy a it work this way?
Which cables do I unplug to dis network and dir conn to 1 cpu?
Or take the main cable coming into your network and that would be great
How big is your network? If someone could tell me what I need to do out of the computers you do not want on the network.
My network has been giving me crap the last few hours and I and which cables do I connect? Which cables do I disconnect connect it straight into the computer you want to use.
If it's just a few computers just take the cable only need one computer to be connected to my DSL connection right now. computer runs to the switch. The cable from my
can routers run both broadband and network cables
Have a connector for the cable that runs between the wall socket and a modem. can now use wireless or wired machines, or a mixture of both.
Watch the router connect to your broadband service and you're away - you
