Let's Fight Ghost: Fifth Match
Episode 5 of Let's Fight Ghost came with more insight in Bong Pal's background and a new creepy ghost but also a very heartbreaking story. Are you ready to recap it with me?
It starts with our Bong Pal taking drunk Hyun Jin back home and putting her to bed. I still find so amusing a ghost gets drunk. Aside from this, we also get a creepy glimpse to the ghost story of today, related with a playground and someone playing hide and seek perhaps? A twisted version of it.
The next morning when Bong Pal goes to wake our ghost friend, he is mesmerised with her angelic presence and yes, bells chime and it's clear he's falling, although he pretends like it's not happening and just brushes it off. Still, he is so kind to her, making her hangover soup.
When they are on their way to uni, our GhostNet (now Sundae Soup) friends inform Bong Pal they wired the money and wow, our lead has saved a lot, yet he doesn't share with Hyun Jin why he's saving so much money. On the bus ride, when a evidently sexy woman wants to take the seat next to Bong Pal, the one Hyun Jin is using, Bong Pal actually refuses and says it's occupied and she can't sit there. It's kind of rude, but it makes Hyun Jin so happy. She's adorable!
At school, Bong Pal is the only one who gets an A+ on the group project, even if he did it alone, and the professor tells the others to be more like Bong Pal. Then the murmurs start with gossips about Bong Pal, that the people close to him die and such. Hyun Jin notices how he doesn't react and now she can kind of understand why he's always so lonesome. She tries to convince him to do something, but he couldn't care less about that.
Professor Sung Hye comes back after the murder, acting nice but now that only looks creepy to me. He's hiding all the evidence but he's not even doing it careful, which makes me think: does he think he's above the law and criminologists? Seriously, what is he?
Chun Sang and In Rang come up with a whole presentation to announce their new club: Sundae Soup and their project to exorcise with Bong Pal. At first he doesn't want to but eventually ends up accepting the deal, he just doesn't sign for the club though. But our friends won't give up and they have noticed the way Bong Pal acts around Seo Yeon so they recruit her, knowing that's the way to lure Bong Pal to join Sundae Soup.
Bong Pal and Seo Yoon keep getting close and our Hyun Jin is acting jealous, although she isn't quite aware of that yet. Such cutie. At the end of the class Professor Hye Sung invites the students to have lunch and shows an awful lot of interest in Bong Pal, which creeps me out! He's a psycho, get away of my baby Bong Pal! Later, this interest is deepened when we can see Professor Creepy has the same family picture that Bong Pal has! What the--?! He's now stalking Bong Pal.
Regarding the ghost story of the episode, it's in a apartment block where at night one can hear a child crying and laughing, really loudly. A father that moved just recently has had enough and goes to complaint, but the door opens and when he goes in he realise sit's empty. And, obviously, he spots the ghost child and runs for his life. And this is where our friends are going, all together in an old van that's falling apart; their first job together! It doesn't look glamorous but it's a beginning.
At the playground they spot a woman who looks like she lost her mind. Bong Pal watches her with such sorrowful eyes. When it's dark they go inside and take a look around, noticing the way the child portrayed his father as an abusive monster in his drawings. They do run into the kid who starts running and playing. Bong Pal gets a hold of him and tells him not to play anymore, but then the kid runs away and this time they get interrupted by the Chun Sung and In Rang.
It's time to go home for now.
Chun Sung and In Rang share now that Seo Yeon has joined the club and just as they planned it, Bong Pal also joins. This makes Hyun Jin even more jealous while Bong Pal is more concerned about the child in the apartment block. He looks online for news related and realises the kid was murdered by his stepfather, so without waiting for anyone, he heads back to the place. Hyun Jin, obviously, goes with him although she doesn't understand much of what's happening.
This time we do see the kid is scared, hiding from his abusive stepfather who beat him to death once already. The stepfather has caught him and is about to beat him again when Bong Pal makes it in and stops the abuse. He fights the ghost viciously and also tries to protect the kid. Hyun Jin comes to help when he's being choked and then protects the child while Bong Pal beats the stepfather, punch after punch, each stronger and angrier than the previous one while he wars his own flashbacks. We get a glimpse of how Bong Pal's mother died, pushed in front of an oncoming car by a shadow. An evil ghost?
Well, we know this is clearly personal now. Bong pal hits that stepfather with too much resentment.
Once the stepfather is gone, the child can finally say goodbye to his mother, the "crazy" lady from the playground who lost her mind with grieve and regret. It's a touching scene, the pain of the mother and the child comforting her remind Bong Pal of the time he lost his mother and she came to say goodbye, that heartbreaking moment that still haunts him.
At night, he has nightmares of when he was a child and the kids didn't want to play with him because he could see ghosts, and how horrible it was for him being haunted by them, crying and screaming. As he sleeps, the struggle is reflected on his face, tears fall with the pain he carries inside. Hyun Jin finds him like that, her eyes show how her own heart is breaking for him and she offers as little comfort as she can in that moment.
And that's where the episode ends.
We got a bit of Bong Pal's past and how he lost his mother! It really broke my heart and I really understand why he's a lone wolf. I'm really glad he's let Hyun Jin stick around and I hope she can keep comforting him.
I'm beyond curious why Professor Creepy is stalking Bong Pal, how they are related and more. I'm scared for both Bong Pal and Hyun Jin. I hope things don't get so nasty.
Episode 5 is out so you can watch it already! The recap is coming soon, too.

Make your own doughnuts
Ubiquitous Canadian coffee and doughnut (or is it donut?) maker Tim Horton's recently created much excitement when it debuted its "Priestley" Doughnut. It's apparently composed of a chocolate Timbit crammed into a Strawberry Vanilla!
I should add that this no doubt delicious sugar-laden invention was created by actor Jason Priestley and announced during an episode of How I Met Your Mother.
Depending on how you look at it — fortunately or unfortunately — it's only available in Squamish, B.C.
For those of us that haven't made it onto the telly, creating your very own version of this deep-fried confectionary is still within grasp. Once you've mastered the simple batter, it's really only then up to your imagination how their filled, iced or decorated.
Replacing the traditional English jam filling with Nutella is a start. Needless to say the warm doughnut melts all that chocolate hazelnut goodness for a wicked, if not somewhat messy, result. Of course peanut butter, with or without the jam has an equally impressive outcome.
Chocolate sprinkles, bacon bits, mini marshmallows, maple crumbles, crushed nuts and just about any flavour of icing or jam you desire, all give the humble cinnamon and sugar a run for it's money.
I recently stumbled across a classic 1970s hand-held, spring-loaded doughnut maker in a flea market. Excitement reigned. Finally, my doughnut making would have symmetry and a hole rather than the golden (but holeless) mounds I've been passing off.
It was with a certain amount of pride that I learnt my plump sugared spheres were unanimously voted superior to the holed variety by all family members. So back to the careful easing of tablespoons of batter into the hot oil while waiting for the coffee to brew.
Conquering the beavertail comes next.
Doughnut Batter
- 1 cup (250ml) castor sugar
- 2 Tbsp. (30ml) melted butter
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites — beaten to stiff peaks and set aside
- 1 1/2 cups (350ml) milk
- 3 cups (750ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsp. (12.5ml) baking powder
- 1 tsp. (5ml) salt
- 1/2 tsp. (2.5ml) ground nutmeg
- 2 tsp. (10ml) vanilla essence
Combine sugar, melted butter and egg yolks and beat well.
Sift together flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Add alternatively to mixture with milk, beating well after each addition.
Add vanilla. Lastly, fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.
Using a deep-fry or candy thermometer, heat 4 inches (10 cm) of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan to about 360-375 F (182-190 C). Test oil temperature with a drop of batter, which should fizzle and then float. Oil should not be smoking.
Gently ease tablespoons of batter into oil and allow to cook until golden. Gently flip over to cook other side. Remove doughnuts with slotted spoon and allow excess oil to drain off on paper towel. Roll in sugar, ice, decorate or fill as desired. (A cake icing bag filled with jam etc. and inserted into side of a warm doughnut works well as a filling utensil).
Quick Glaze
Mix together 1 cup (250ml) icing sugar and 2 Tbsp. (30 ml) hot water. Dip doughnuts one by one into glaze and then sprinkle with desired topping.

DI Championships: Women's Preview
DI Championships: Women's Preview
Nov. 20, 2010
By John Oehser
Special to NCAA.com
This, Sheila Reid knew, didn't need to be discussed.
Just like last year, when the Villanova Wildcats started to get really good early in the women's cross-country season, then kept improving en route to putting more pictures and trophies into a facility already stuffed with each, Reid said the goal has been clear for a while.
Around Villanova women's cross country team, the objective is always pretty obvious.
Not to mention very, very lofty.
The challenge this year is, 'Can we repeat?''' Reid said early this week as the top-ranked Wildcats prepared for the 2010 NCAA Division I women's national championship meet, which will be held at Lavern Gibson Championship Course in Terre Haute, Ind. on Monday.
The answer to that question is it's probable.
At least, the Wildcats are very much favored to do so.
Villanova, which won its eighth national championship in dominant fashion last season, is the unanimous choice as the nation's top-ranked team. The Wildcats enter the meet with 12 first-place votes and 360 possible points, well ahead of second-ranked Florida State, Texas Tech (third), Stanford (fourth) and Georgetown (fifth).
It's a different team, but I feel a lot more relaxed," said Wildcats coach Gina Procaccio, an assistant on the Wildcats' 1994 and 1998 national title teams whose '09 national title was her first as the program's head coach. I think they do, too, because last year it was kind of an unknown: 'Could we really get this done?' Since they did last year, I think they're pretty relaxed knowing it is possible to do."
FSU won the South regional and Atlantic Coast Conference championship, with Texas Tech finishing second to New Mexico in the Mountain Regional, Stanford finishing third in the West Regional and Georgetown finishing second to Villanova in the Mid-Atlantic Regional.
Reid, a senior, won the individual title at the regional by 13 seconds. And all five of the Wildcats top runners finished in the top 15.
It was the Wildcats' second consecutive Mid-East Regional title.
It's certainly a different team," Reid said, but we're definitely more relaxed. We have that experience behind us. Although we lost a couple of really strong girls on our team from last year, we gained a couple of good ones, and the ones who are back are a lot stronger than last year."
While Reid is a contender for the individual title, she said the strength of the Wildcats - and the reason they're again pursuing a national title - is depth. Especially our top four," she said.
So, while Reid said the Wildcats haven't talked much about repeating, there has been little doubt all season about the idea as a team wide objective.
It's been an unspoken thing," she said during a conference call with media covering the national title meet. This is pretty much the first time we've really said out loud that's what we're going for and that's what I'm going for."
Were the Wildcats to repeat it could be start of something theyve done before - between 1989-84, they won six consecutive championships. And it is just that possibility, that atmosphere that brings top-level competitors to the team.
But every year, we're going to be going to the national championship trying to win, and we're always going to be trying to put together a team truing to win," said Procaccio. That's Villanova tradition and my competitive nature."
It was just that tradition that drew Reid to Villanova - and that's always evident around the program. The walk to the locker room, she said, is a hallway honoring the school's All-Americans through the years, and the coach's office is covered with national champions.
It creates a distinct environment, Reid said, and if it's an environment fraught with pressure, it's also one that creates champions.
It's a high bar, but I wouldn't have it any other way," Reid said. It's hard to live up to it, but I think it's a great motivator. At any other school, maybe to get on the podium would be a fantastic result, but the tradition here demands a little more of you.
That's something that's really unique to Villanova. I feel really blessed to be a part of it."

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Although the Anaheim Ducks' playoff chances are shrinking by the day, they're still winning games with style and providing hope for their future.
The Detroit Red Wings still can't snap out of the slump that could begin to affect their own postseason plans.
Jonas Hiller made 23 saves in his 15th career shutout, rookie Kyle Palmieri scored two goals, and the Ducks kept their faint playoff hopes flickering with a 4-0 victory over the struggling Red Wings on Wednesday night.
Teemu Selanne scored his 660th career goal and Bobby Ryan also scored as the Ducks shut out the Red Wings at home for the first time in Anaheim's franchise history. Playing without injured MVP Corey Perry, the Ducks also snapped a three-game skid with a thrashing of injury-depleted Detroit, which has lost five of six.
"All we can do is win as many games as possible," said Hiller, who posted his fourth shutout of the season in his 30th consecutive start. "You have to take care of it on our end, and hope that's going to be enough."
The Ducks' recent 2-5-1 slump reduced their playoff chances to a sliver, leaving them nine points out of eighth place in the West even after this win. They're still among the NHL's best teams in 2012 (20-9-5) after their awful start to the season.
Selanne has managed to keep the Ducks' season interesting as well. With childhood idol Jari Kurri watching from the Honda Center stands, the 41-year-old Selanne added another accolade to his impressive season with his 1,400th career point, including a team-leading 60 this season, when he crashed the net and scored the opening goal.
Selanne posed with the latest historic puck to add to what must be an epic stack of rubber in his trophy case or garage, but he was more excited about a possible breakthrough game for Palmieri, his fellow right wing and the Ducks' top draft pick in 2009.
"Kyle is a great skater, has an unbelievable shot, really sees the game well," Selanne said. "He doesn't have any weaknesses. He has all the tools, and I'm expecting he's going to be really good in this league."
Palmieri still leads the AHL in goals after his latest callup to Anaheim last week, and he produced his first multigoal NHL performance in his 23rd career game. He's stuck behind Perry and Selanne on the Ducks' depth chart at right wing, but he scored twice while filling in for Perry on a line with Ryan and captain Ryan Getzlaf, who had two assists.
"The confidence definitely feels good," Palmieri said. "Hopefully, going forward, I can keep making an impact on the game and help this team put together a nice win streak. ... With Selanne and Perry out there, it's tough — basically impossible — to make it into that top-six right wing spot, (so) it's a big opportunity for me. Hopefully I can keep playing this way and earn my spot in the lineup."
Perry missed his second straight game, and defenseman Luca Sbisa also is sidelined with an upper-body injury.
Joey MacDonald stopped 20 shots for the Red Wings, whose slump hasn't knocked them out of fourth place in the Western Conference. Still, Detroit is seven points behind St. Louis in the Central Division standings with just 11 games to go.
The Red Wings traveled to the West Coast with a chance to sweep their season series with both Southern California clubs, but instead will limp to the Bay Area with two losses by a combined 9-2.
"We made it way too easy on them," Niklas Kronwall said. "We put ourselves in trouble. We kept making mistakes, and they had way too much time."
The Red Wings again played without stars Nicklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk, and goalie Jimmy Howard rested one night after looking shaky in a 5-2 loss at Los Angeles in his return from a one-week absence with a groin injury. Veteran forward Todd Bertuzzi returned to Detroit's lineup after missing four games with a lower-body injury.
Detroit's power play also went 0 for 3, extending its scoreless streak to 0 for 28 since Feb. 28.
"We didn't have enough guys working hard enough, with enough good structure," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "You've got to give Hiller credit. He made three unbelievable saves tonight, or the game could have been tighter and gone differently. The reality is we are not playing hard enough or with good enough structure, and therefore we don't seem very skilled."
Lubomir Visnovsky picked up an assist on Ryan's goal, snapping the Slovak defenseman's 15-game scoreless skid. Visnovsky, who led all NHL defensemen in scoring last season, hadn't scored since Feb. 12 and has contributed just one goal in 2012.
NOTES: Selanne scored his 23rd goal of the season, tying him with Gordie Howe's 1969-70 performance for the second-most prolific season by an NHL player over 40. ... Before the game, the Ducks honored C Saku Koivu for playing in his 1,000th NHL game Monday in Colorado. ... Anaheim has won 12 of 15 at home, while the Red Wings have lost seven of their last eight road games.

In the wireless world we often think more power is good. The louder the signal surely higher the performance gain. I am sorry to say that is not true in most cases. RF power is like a delicate flower and should be treated with respect. Simply choosing a higher power output and not properly tuning your radios could cause you more pain than you really know. In this quick blog post, I share a pair of static bridges being bench tested 70 feet apart. The only difference in configuration is simply changing the RF power. While I only share the capacity values, the throughput values have been excluded to keep the focus on power.
Example #1 - (HOTTEST)
In this example we pump up the power @ 30 dBm.
(1) Link @ -17 dBm
(2) Modulation at 16 / 64 QAM
(3) TX Power 30 dBm
(4) Capacity Link TX 205, RX 200
Example #2 - (HOT)
In this example we power down to @ 24 dBm.
(1) Link @ -22 dBm
(2) Modulation at 256 / 256 QAM
(3) TX Power 24 dBm
(4) Capacity Link TX 396, RX 391
Example #3 - (PEACHY)
In this example we power down to @ 18 dBm.
(1) Link @ -27 dBm
(2) Modulation at 1024 / 1024 QAM
(3) TX Power 18 dBm
(4) Capacity Link TX 482, RX 469
Modulate Gain: 16 vs 1024 and 64 vs 1024
Capacity Link Gain: TX 205 vs 481, RX 200 vs 469
Why excessive power gain is bad is because it increases noise and distortion at the receiver's radio. In Example #1, both radios can hear each other at -17 dBm! Think of it this way, imagine having someone in your ear with a megaphone yelling today's lunch specials at you. You can't hear so well, can you ? Take away the megaphone and step back a few feet and all is peachy.
My quick less-techy blog post for today!
Can you tell me what program you are using?
Thanks JerryD
Hi Jerry,
This is the onboard software Ubiquiti uses.
Can this software work with say some smb cisco for example: WAP321 AP?
This software is specific to Ubquiti only.
Nice feature.....

2010 State of the Market Report for PJM Released
Market Monitor Finds PJM Wholesale Electricity Markets Remain Competitive
Mar 10, 2011, 01:29 EST
WASHINGTON, March 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PJM Interconnection's wholesale electric energy and capacity markets produced competitive results last year, according to the 2010 State of the Market Report for PJM, released today by Monitoring Analytics, LLC, the Independent Market Monitor for PJM.
Market Monitor Joseph Bowring discussed findings of the report today during a briefing in Washington, D.C. The report is the Independent Market Monitor's annual assessment of the competitiveness of the wholesale electricity markets managed by PJM in 13 states and the District of Columbia. It analyzes market structure, participant behavior and market performance for each of the PJM markets.
"Our analysis concludes that the results of the PJM energy and capacity markets in 2010 were competitive," Bowring said. "At the same time, the report also recommends rules and rule changes required for continued competitive results and for continued improvements in the functioning of the markets."
The report found that energy prices rose by 23.8 percent in 2010, that average hourly load increased by 4.7 percent in 2010 and that congestion increased by 99 percent. The report concluded that the increase in prices was the result of a increases in fuel costs and in load. The report concluded that "prices in PJM are set, on average, by marginal units operating at, or close to, their marginal costs. Markup was 0.6 percent of LMP. This is evidence of competitive behavior and competitive market outcomes."
The report finds competitive results for PJM's Energy, Capacity, Synchronized Reserve and Day Ahead Scheduling Reserve Markets and the Financial Transmission Rights Auctions. The report concluded that, although the behavior of market participants was competitive, the PJM Regulation Market did not produce competitive results as a consequence of changes to the rules concerning, among other things, the calculation of opportunity costs.
"The Regulation Market accounts for only 0.5 percent of the total price of wholesale power, but is nonetheless a significant part of the overall PJM market design. The rules responsible for this outcome were flawed when implemented and remain flawed, although PJM has corrected some issues." Bowring suggested that PJM should "move expeditiously to eliminate these flawed rules."
The report also finds that:
- Overall, 2010 net revenues for generating units were higher than in 2009. The higher net revenues in 2010 were the result of higher locational energy prices and, in most zones, higher locational capacity prices.
- In 2010, net revenues from the capacity market were needed to make continued operation economic for a significant number of PJM generating units, because net revenues from the energy market alone did not cover annual avoidable costs.
- In 2010, net revenues, including capacity market revenues, were greater than or equal to full annual fixed cost recovery only in the Pepco and BGE zones for a new entrant combustion turbine. Net revenues in 2010 were greater than or equal to full annual fixed cost recovery only in the AECO, BGE, DPL, and Pepco zones for a new entrant combined cycle. There were no control zones with sufficient net revenue to cover the annual fixed costs of a new entrant coal plant in 2010.
- Analysis of actual 2010 net revenues shows that 6,769 MW of sub-critical and supercritical coal units did not cover their avoidable costs even after capacity revenues were considered, of which 6,021 MW were located in the MAAC region. Units accounting for 4,862 MW are recovering less than 75 percent of avoidable costs and units accounting for 2,763 MW are recovering less than 65 percent of avoidable costs.
- Analysis of units lacking the environmental controls necessary to meet likely regulatory requirements shows that between 14,345 MW and 19,068 MW of installed capacity, depending on the nature of the requirements, would require an increase in energy or capacity revenue in order to cover their avoidable costs including project investment costs and remain in operation if faced with mandatory investment in environmental controls.
Among the report's other recommendations are: modifications to the rules governing unit operating parameters to ensure that units make economic offers in PJM markets; resolution of the double counting issue in the PJM's capacity market demand side program; elimination of the option to specify a minimum dispatch price in PJM's capacity market demand side program as inefficient and unnecessary; and modifications to the capacity market rules to ensure that prices reflect complete supply and demand conditions and that local prices reflect local market conditions.
The Independent Market Monitor (also known as the Market Monitoring Unit or MMU) evaluates the operation of PJM's wholesale markets to identify ineffective market rules and tariff provisions, identifies potential anticompetitive behavior by market participants and provides the comprehensive market analysis critical for informed policy decision making. Joseph Bowring, the Market Monitor, ensures the independence and objectivity of the monitoring program.

Welcome to my Breast Actives review. This is a detailed review of Breast Actives breast enhancement system that is frequently featured on MSN, CNN.com, MSNBC, and USAtoday.com. On this site I will be sharing my own personal experiences using Breast Actives, as well as other customers user submitted breast actives reviews.
What is Breast Actives?
Breast Actives is an all natural solution to larger more shapelier breasts. Breast Actives ingredients are all natural. This three step natural enhancement system includes Breast Actives pills and cream, as well as a special exercise program tailored to natural breast enhancement.
The Breast Actives enhancement system consists of taking one pill every day with a glass of water before your first meal. Then you will place a small amount of the cream on your fingertips and massage the cream thoroughly on your breasts each morning. The last thing you can do for optimal results, is to follow the included exercise plan, which includes exercises specifically for breast enhancement as well as diet tips.
The most noticeable benefits, and benefits I personally experienced, of Breast Actives, is a larger breast size. Not only did I notice my breasts becoming larger, but also there was much less sagging, and they actually looked like they did when I was in my early 20's. I also noticed my clothes fit much better in the chest area than before. My success is why I took the time to actually write a very detailed Breast Actives review for potential buyers.
My Personal Breast Actives Review
I personally had been considering breast implant surgery for several years. For some reason I could never get the guts to go through with it. Everything about surgery really scared me and I was terrified that I would regret it after. I constantly researched different alternatives, pills and so forth, but again I was terrified to put something in my body that I had to order off of the internet.
One day I went out to lunch with a coworker and confided in her the problem I had been facing. That's when she told me about Breast Actives. She had also faced the same problem and issues with surgery that I had, the only difference is, she had been brave enough to try something she found online. She told me she had spent countless hours researching different products, and finally decided Breast Actives had several great reviews online, that she felt comfortable enough to try it out…and it actually worked for her! She told me that she had ordered a 6 month supply, and ended up only needing 3 months of it, so she offered me the remainder of what she had.
My breasts personally were not overly small, they were a 36B, however they were quite saggy for me being only 32, and also just not quite as large as I would like them. By this point, I figured I would give it a shot, what could I lose? Besides, if I needed to purchase more, the price was thousands of dollars cheaper than actual surgery. I followed the instructions for the pills and cream to a tee. I also did cut out caffeine like the book that came with it suggested. As far as exercise, I did set aside time, 3 days a week for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on what I could spare that week. My results came much quicker than the official website described. By the time I was at the end of the 3 month supply, my 36B became a 36D. The results will be different from person to person, but in my case, I achieved what I wanted, without having to resort to surgery. The only thing during the process that was a little frustrating, was that halfway through, one of my boobs was slightly larger than the other…however by the end, everything caught up and now my breasts are much more firm, shapely and larger, and I love them so much!
Other Customers Breast Actives Review
Awhile back, I searched high and low, and spoke with several different women through forums and online to compile success stories from other Breast Actives users. I wanted to get a variety of experiences from other people to see just how much this product is actually changing other women's lives.
Jill Reese
"I am SO EXCITED to report that this actually works!! Here is my personal Breast Actives review. I mean, I'm sure with any product there will be some people that don't have success with it…but give it a try! It's relatively inexpensive given the results you can get. I've been taking this product, as instructed, for about 2.5 months and I'm so happy! My husband has noticed and is also very pleased! I have always been small breasted about large A small B and after nursing 2 children I was like a small A. This has really brought back my breast! They are firmer and fuller and just look and feel so much better! I'm hopeful that after the full 6 months I will have gained the average 2 cup sizes…but even if I had no change from now it would still have been worth it!"
Hailey Bang
"Katie contacted me regarding my personal Breast Actives review. I have been using the product for about a month and noticed a little change in my breast. My friend's have noticed some change in my breast size and I have also noticed that my breast seem to feel a little more firm. It is still to early to tell, but I am going to continue to take the BA for at least 3 more months and will update you all. Nothing works overnight so try the product and be realistic about your results. Some things take time and everyone's body is different."
"I have been taking these pills for about a month now, and I have noticed a change in size and fullness. I get really busy, so I have not been able to use both the cream and pills regularly like I should, but I'm sure there would be a more noticeable difference than I already see. I have gained about a half cup size and more fullness. It was really nice to see a change at all, and it helped with self confidence!"
"My husband bought me the pills and cream as an alternative to implants. I didn't think it would work but i decided to be a good sport and try! all i have ever had is basically nipples, seeing as i have been athletic. I ACTUALLY HAVE BOOBS NOW, and its been only a couple months. Only someone who's been completely flat their whole life can understand what this means! I love this so much I may never stop. i am also taking collagen. i am super busy and never have time to massage like u are supposed to. Also, sometimes i only get the cream on once per day."
What Does Breast Actives Cost?
Breast Actives offers several different packages to give bulk discounts and they even have an offer for a 2 month supply free. Prices start at $59.95 for a one month supply. Visit Breast Actives official site here if you are interested in purchasing.
Breast Actives Review Conclusion
Overall, my experience with Breast Actives was a very positive one. I feel very confident in giving a very positive Breast Actives review. In talking with other women, I have found they have had reason to give a pleasant review as well. Although every woman will have a different experience, I think this product is a great natural alternative to breast implant surgery, and also much less expensive and not painful, aside from general breast tenderness, which is something I experienced. If you are considering purchasing Breast Actives, they offer several different packages on there site to make the process very affordable as well as they are a highly reputable company, which when it comes to your body, is something you want.

If modern and rustic were to have a love child, this delightful wedding would be it. It has all of the perfect ingredients: a cotton farm with rolling fields, hay bales, smores, contemporary sofas and a dance party complete with multicolored lights. Did I mention the smores?

December 8th : Sharing my Completed Fiber NativitySubmitted by Pam on Thu, 12/08/2016 - 19:15
Today is Precepe Day in Italy and along with setting up my small collection of nativities, I added the babe and the manger to my all fiber nativity scene.
Needle felting was the perfect choice for both the babe in swaddling clothes and the manger. Bits of stash yarn in shades of yellow were needle felted to the bottom inside of the manger and then some were untwisted. Very simple and quick!
Fiber Nativity Inspired by Many FriendsSubmitted by Pam on Tue, 11/15/2016 - 21:49
Finally, after spending over four years on my to do list, my fiber nativity is on display. It is a happy result of inspiration from many of my online friends, and as it grows from year to year, it will continue to reflect inspiration from additional friends who inspire me!

Yarn Stars. The Perfect Last Minute Ornament or Decoration.Submitted by Pam on Mon, 12/14/2015 - 07:06
Yarn Stars make beautiful, very last minute ornaments for holiday decorating - tree ornaments, garlands, gift tie-ons, hanging in windows. Diane at craftypod and I had a little yarn star making playtime with family and these were the results.
As you can see, even if you sort of lose your way and go a different direction, as long as you are consistent, the star should work out. Notice the cool open weave of the grey and red star above. I love it!

ATLANTA (AP) — Around the Final Four and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of everything surrounding the games.
Presidential parting shot
The formal question-and-answer portion of his news conference had just ended when NCAA president Mark Emmert looked at a reporter and said "I know you're disappointed, but I'm still here."
It was a fitting parting shot on Thursday for Emmert, who has faced criticism as the NCAA has revealed it broke its own rules while investigating the scandal involving a Miami booster.
Emmert said dealing with criticism is a part of his job, especially as the NCAA goes through change.
"If you're gonna launch a change agenda you've got to be able to deal with criticism," he said.

Coach, player of the year
Michigan guard Trey Burke has been named The Associated Press' college basketball player of the year, and Miami's Jim Larranaga has been named the AP's coach of the year.
Burke wasn't able to attend the ceremony Thursday, he was with his the Wolverine teammates preparing for the national semifinal against Syracuse on Saturday night.
Larranaga was on hand and spoke to the media afterward.
Burke is the first Michigan player to win the award since Cazzie Russell in 1966. Burke got 31 votes, easily outdistancing Otto Porter Jr. of Georgetown, who had 16.
Larranaga won his award with 29 votes. Jim Crews of Saint Louis was second with 19.

Louisville's 'great motivator'
Kevin Ware is from Rockdale County High School, about 40 minutes east of Atlanta, and he has returned to Georgia a sudden celebrity.
Ware, Louisville's sophomore guard, suffered gruesome compound fractures in his right leg in Sunday's Midwest Regional final win over Duke that sent the Cardinals to the Final Four. He had successful surgery and flew with the team to Atlanta.
Coach Rick Pitino says he's proud of the way Ware and his teammates have handled the shocking injury.
"I think it's going to be a great motivator for us," Pitino said Thursday. "I don't think I've ever been more proud of a group of young men the way they acted and cried their brains out for Kevin, and then the way Kevin got them together and the way he reacted.
"Now we are refocused. Kevin's with us."
And Ware is a celebrity.
"He's doing David Letterman's top 10," Pitino said before adding with a laugh "I don't know if he has time for us."

MLK the basketball player
Former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young said Thursday that civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was a pretty good basketball player.
Young noted that Thursday marks the 45th anniversary of King's assassination in Memphis, Tenn. Young recalled watching King play basketball on courts around Atlanta in the early days of the civil rights movement.
It was necessary to build community support, Young said: "The only place to get to some of the young people was on the basketball court, and they wouldn't listen to you until you got in the game with them."
As for King's skills, Young said, "Even though he was shorter than me, he could handle the basketball. And he could shoot well with either hand."

Chilly, soggy start
The Final Four coaches made their first appearances in Atlanta on Thursday. Atlanta's spring weather? That's still at least a day or two away.
The city is all dressed up for college basketball's biggest event. Stages are set up and banners have been raised in Centennial Olympic Park, near the Georgia Dome where the games will be played, but the gloomy weather put an early damper on the festive spirit.
Fans arriving early for the Final Four found soggy and cold conditions in Atlanta. The forecast called for temperatures to remain below 50 on Thursday. Low clouds covered the top of the skyscrapers in downtown Atlanta, where all the Final Four activities are planned. Brisk winds and light rain added to the gloom.
At least it's not as bad as Atlanta's infamous Super Bowl freeze. An ice storm made travel through downtown treacherous in January 2000 for the Super Bowl between the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans.
This week's forecast is more promising. The rain is expected to leave by Friday, when the projected high is 62 degrees. Saturday will look more like spring, with a forecast for sun and a high in the low 70s.

Quick quote: "Thrown a ball'
"I have thrown a ball but it's usually up in the stands and last time I did it, I hurt my arm, so I don't do it anymore. I literally could not watch that video."
— Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim on former Rutgers coach Mike Rice, who was fired Wednesday after a video surfaced of him hitting, shoving, throwing basketballs at his players and berating them and with anti-gay slurs.

Mayor's not-so Final Four
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed owes a friendly apology to Louisville, Syracuse and Wichita State as he welcomes them to the Final Four. The mayor, whose tournament bracket is on public display near the Georgia Dome, correctly had Michigan coming out of the South region, but he had Duke, New Mexico and Miami joining the Wolverines.
Reed predicted that Syracuse and overall favorite Louisville would lose in the Sweet 16. He owes the biggest mea culpa to Wichita, the No. 9 seed out of the West. Reed predicted the Shockers would drop their opening game to Pitt.
— Bill Barrow
Boeheim 'just a cheap guy'
Rick Pitino says he knows why Jim Boeheim has coached for so long: He's cheap.
Pitino, who was hired by Boeheim as an assistant at Syracuse in 1976, has since had four college head coaching jobs and also coached the NBA's Knicks and Celtics while Boeheim has remained at Syracuse.
Pitino says the 68-year-old Boeheim is saving his pennies.
"Jim is coaching a long time because he's extremely frugal," Pitino said with a grin Thursday. "He's just a cheap guy that money means everything to him and he's going to coach till he's 90 and hoard away every penny he's ever made."
— Charles Odum
Boxers or briefs? Orange or blue?
Michigan coach John Beilein, a native of Burt, N.Y., still has family and friends who might have mixed loyalties when his Wolverines play Syracuse in the Final Four on Saturday night.
Beilein says fans might be keeping some loyalties well-hidden — say under a layer or two of clothing.
"I've called an old friend of mine on the way down and said, 'What color are you wearing?'" Beilein said. "'Do you have orange underwear on with the blue shirt over the top'"
Beilein said he doesn't mind if his old friends sneak in a little Syracuse orange with Michigan blue.
"It's a great thing for everybody to have," he said. "There's a lot to talk about after a tough winter, in western New York, central New York. I just think it's all good. It's just all good."
— Charles Odum
Small schools share big stage
The Final Four isn't the only big game in town. Hello, Metro State. Hello, Drury. We're talking about you.
And how about a shout-out for Mary Hardin-Baylor and Amherst?
For the first time, the NCAA Division II and Division III national championship games are being held in the same city as the Final Four. In his remarks to the media on Thursday, NCAA president Mark Emmert said "it's going to be a great experience" to have the smaller schools playing their championship games at Philips Arena, which is adjacent to the Georgia Dome.
It's part of the NCAA's celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Final Four.
Metro State and Drury will play for the Division II championship on Sunday at 4, after Amherst plays Mary Hardin-Baylor for the Division III title.
— Charles Odum
Fast Fact: What's a Shocker?
As the lowest seed still playing — and one of the lowest ever to reach the final weekend — Wichita State's nickname is appropriate.
But where did "the Shockers" come from?
University lore traces the name to 1904, when a football manager called the team as the "Shockers" to drum up interest in a gridiron matchup with the Chilocco Indians. He reportedly chose the name because many players spent the offseason harvesting or "shocking" wheat in fields surrounding Wichita.
Wichita State bills its costumed mascot WuShock — who bears a resemblance to a giant, more-intense Bart Simpson — as "a big, bad, muscle-bound bundle of wheat."
— Bill Barrow
Pitino's pride
It's been a memorable week for Rick Pitino.
Pitino is coaching Louisville in the Final Four, and on Wednesday his son Richard was named head coach at Minnesota.
So Thursday's question for Pitino: Which was the bigger event?
"They're both exciting," Pitino said after pausing to consider the question. "I'm very proud and happy for Richard ... so it's been a great week for our family."
— Charles Odum
Ethics discussion
More than two dozen small-college and assistant coaches gathered at the Final Four Thursday for a seminar on ethics as the fallout continued following the firing of Rutgers coach Mike Rice.
Talk about timely.
The seminar was scheduled as part of the National Association of Basketball Coaches' professional development series long before a video surfaced of Rice physically and verbally abusing his players. The seminar was led by Craig Impleman, a longtime assistant coach who happened to marry the granddaughter of John Wooden.
The longtime coach of UCLA, Wooden is one of the most revered coaches in the history of the game, both for his prowess and the for treating others with respect.
One can only guess what Wooden would have thought after seeing video of Rice uttering gay slurs, shoving players and throwing basketballs at them in practices.
The NABC issued a statement Thursday that said its "board of directors does not condone these actions nor does it believe it is reflective in any form or fashion of the conduct of men's basketball coaches as they coach their teams.

Conan hoops it up
Conan O'Brien wrapped up a four-day taping in Atlanta of his show on Thursday.
The 6-foot-4 O'Brien has never played organized basketball but is a big-time sports fan — his favorite teams include the Boston Celtics and Red Sox.
In tribute to Atlanta hosting college basketball's Final Four this weekend, O'Brien's guests Thursday night on his show — "CONAN" — that airs on TBS will include NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, college basketball announcer Dick Vitale and music artists Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

Louisville's Angel
Louisville is making the most of its Atlanta connection with its former women's basketball star, Angel McCoughtry.
Representatives of Louisville, the alma mater McCoughtry of the WNBA Atlanta Dream, conceived a community service project for the Final Four.
Louisville volunteers will wear T-shirts with McCoughtry's name and number as they join with volunteers from Michigan, Syracuse, Wichita State and the Dream for a project to help the homeless and feed the hungry.
The volunteers will sort and package clothing and supplies that will later be distributed by Lift Up Atlanta, a local organization, to homeless families in Atlanta. Busses will shuttle the volunteers to the job site at Medlock Commons Self Storage in Norcross, near Atlanta.
McCoughtry was the 2012 WNBA scoring champion.

Release Date:
03 May 2009
Release Length:
Seven years after the tragic death of her brother Donnie,
Samantha Darko is still mourning him and the loss of the loving family that fell apart after he died.
Her home life in shambles, 18-year-old Sam impulsively decides to join her rebellious best friend Corey
on a cross-country drive from Virginia to California in the hope of becoming a professional dancer.When their
car breaks down outside tiny Conejo Springs, Sam and Corey are stranded in the hot and dusty town with
little money and no connections as they await the arrival of a new water pump. Wild child Corey quickly
finds a friend in Randy Holt, the town bad boy, but Samantha is restless and has no interest in socializing.
The morning after the girls arrive, a meteorite destroys a local farmer's windmill, leaving a huge crater
in its wake.Plagued by weird and prophetic dreams that spill over into her waking life, Samantha
searches for some kind of meaning in the people around her. But she finds only the fanatical cliches
spouted by Jesus freak Trudy Potter and Pastor John Mellit of the Born Again Church, the heedless partying
of Randey and his friends, and the petty suspicions of small town gossips.Sam and Corey have a bitter
falling out that ends in catastrophe. Without realizing it, they become links in an invisible chain
that connects them to a missing child, a disturbed Gulf war veteran and a dangerous hole in time and
space. Only a sacrifice of the highest order will return the universe to its proper time and place,
and the clock is ticking.

Tampa Bay's J.T. Brown tried to line up and crush Winnipeg's Jacob Trouba, but the Lightning right winger got the worst of the check. The 5-foot-10 Brown was sent spinning through the air after a massive collision 6-foot-2 Trouba.
Tampa Bay's J.T. Brown has been playing well early in the 2015-16 campaign. In six games, he has one goal, two points and, thus far, is on pace for a career year. But not everything has gone Brown's way.
Take Friday's tilt against the Winnipeg Jets, for instance. After Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba went back into the Winnipeg zone to retrieve a loose puck, he turned and cut back towards the neutral zone. Brown, who is known to have a bit of a physical edge, thought he had Trouba lined up. Problem is Brown stands 5-foot-10, 172 pounds to Trouba's 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame. Suffice to say, Brown is probably regretting his decision:
That collision was so big the 15,000 people in attendance at Winnipeg's MTS Centre felt it.
Physically, Brown was OK. He stayed in the play and remained on the ice for another 27 seconds. As far as pride goes, though, this one might have hurt a little. Best of all, Brown was credited with the hit on the play. Unfortunately, both he and Trouba know it should really be scored.

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is widely recommended as a first-line treatment for a wide variety of emotional problems, including depression and anxiety. CBT works on the basic assumption that the way people think can contribute to their emotional problems. In CBT, people learn to identify, question and change patterns of thinking that contribute to emotional distress—to see thoughts as ideas rather than as facts, and to "stand back" from their thoughts and consider situations from different points of view. People also learn to change behaviours related to negative moods. CBT is a short-term, practical and goal-oriented therapy that teaches people to become their own therapists.
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy: An Information Guide:
This guide is a brief, easy-to-read introduction for people who are considering or starting out in CBT, for family members and friends who would like to know more about the treatment, and for anyone else with an interest in CBT.

Manhattan Prep Learning Center
Hello Beat The GMAT Community!
We're very happy to have the opportunity to provide some of our resources to you. We've been sponsoring Beat The GMAT for several years now and have seen the community multiply and flourish over that time.
We got our start here in New York back in 2000, eventually growing to serve many New York-based companies, including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and McKinsey. Back when we first arrived on BTG, we had perhaps 5 or 6 locations throughout the U.S. Now we're up to 20 locations in the U.S. and Canada, and our books and online offerings are available everywhere.
Our purpose is to provide the best materials and Instructors anywhere, and to help you achieve your score goals. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to improve our offerings. Also, feel free to suggest an article topic that's of particular interest – we're always looking for new subjects.
Best of luck in preparing for the GMAT!

CNBC had Andrew Yang, CEO of Manhattan Prep, as a guest last week to comment on the current outlook for young college graduates looking to enter the workforce.
By Carrie Shuchart, Manhattan Prep Instructor
It's an oft-quoted fact that the most common fear in this country is of public speaking. There you are, standing in front of a crowd, palms sweating, heart racing, voice cracking and every visible part of your body shaking. No wonder more Americans fear this scenario than fear flying, spiders, or (my personal phobia) snakes. The conventional wisdom for battling stage fright is to imagine your audience in their underwear…or better yet, naked.
Unfortunately for GMAT test-takers with anxiety, hardly any relief comes from imagining Jane, who is running at a rate of five miles/hour from the east, and Dick, who is walking at a rate of three miles/hour from the west, in their skivvies. So how do you battle those test-day butterflies (and the sleepless nights that proceed them)? Why, with the following seven steps!
1. Prepare
The majority of anxiety stems from the unknown, the "what ifs" that float around in your head. The more you know, the fewer "what ifs" to be had. Know the format of the GMAT inside and out. Know which sections come first, second, and third. Know the rules regarding scratch paper and bathroom breaks. Most importantly, study. Know the material that will be tested and how it will be tested. If you are a master of the information covered on the GMAT, then anything the test throws at you, you will be able to handle. If you're confident in your abilities, you'll be able to fight off those jitters.
2. Once you've prepared, prepare even more
Sure, you've taken a few computer practice tests and even slept with the Official Guides under your pillow (much to the chagrin of your significant other). But you can still do more. Figure out where the test center is and make a trial run. Know what you're going to wear (yes, I'm actually serious about this). Choose comfortable clothes and bring layers; you don't want to be too cold or too hot during the test.
3. Relax
Close your eyes and visualize your favorite place. Take deep breaths. Go for a jog. Listen to your favorite Gregorian chants. Get a massage. In the days leading up to the GMAT, relax as much as you can. This isn't to say you stop studying but don't focus exclusively on the test. Also, remember that the GMAT is not a test you can cram for; you will know the vast majority of the material well before those final days and whatever you try to sneak in right at the end is not really going to matter. Do some practice problems and review your time management strategy, but do not go nuts. Do make sure to get plenty of rest and good food. But go out, enjoy life, and leave that Official Guide under your pillow.
4. Indulge a bit
Get as much rest as you can while you gear up for the GMAT. You may not have slept eight hours in a night since you were three years old but, guess what? Now's the time to know what it's like to wake without the alarm going off (or to go to bed before The Daily Show). Also, now is the time to make sure you're taking your mother's advice: eat your vegetables and take your vitamins. You want to be in top physical shape.
5. Have a post-GMAT plan
Look, you've got a rough day ahead of you. No one is denying that. So give yourself something to look forward to, something positive you can think about for two seconds when you're bogged down trying to figure out if you're dealing with a compound subject. Plan to meet a friend for dinner, have tickets to that evening's ballgame, or book a manicure for an hour after you're done. You're almost at the finish line!
6. If things do start to go south, keep your head up
One of the worst things about test anxiety is that it can be self-perpetuating. What happens if you get in there and flub the first question? Your confidence is going to start going down the tubes. Don't let it. This is something you can control. The GMAT is designed to be hard for everyone; don't beat yourself up if you can't answer a question. First of all, you don't have time to do it and, secondly, what's past is past. You have to let it go and move on to the next problem.
7. Remember, it's not the end of the world (or your bschool prospects)
The GMAT is just a test. And you can always take it again. It's also just one part of your application to business school; it won't make you or break you. Yes, you want to do well. And you should do well. But if you don't, it really and truly won't ruin your life.
So take a couple of deep breaths. Shake out your hands and do a couple of neck stretches. Close your eyes for a few seconds and just relax. And if all else fails, remember that Dick looks pretty funny walking at three miles/hour in his tighty-whities.

Superstars Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake turned up the heat in New York on Friday (19Jul13) by bringing out Alicia Keys and Timbaland to join them onstage during their joint concert.
The Suit & Tie hitmakers, who are currently touring North America as the Legends of the Summer, had two special guests lined up for the Yankee Stadium gig with Jay-Z sending the audience into a screaming frenzy as he welcomed Keys to perform their chart smash hit, Empire State of Mind, in their hometown.
Timberlake also got into the Big Apple spirit by belting out a rendition of Frank Sinatra's city anthem New York, New York and he further delighted fans by introducing his longtime producer Timbaland into the spotlight for SexyBack.
Keys' husband Swizz Beatz, another of Jay-Z's frequent collaborators, was also in attendance at Yankee Stadium, but he remained backstage and shared a Twitter.com photo of the couple after the show, alongside the message, "Date Nite NYC Yankee stadium we out cheaaaa (here) (sic)".
Friday night's concert wasn't the first to feature a surprise guest - Rihanna made an appearance at the London kick-off for the Legends of the Summer tour last weekend (14Jul13) to perform Run This Town with the hip-hop mogul during the Wireless Festival.

If you are an animal lover and looking for funny wallpaper, you will find eight of the best in this guide. To use any of the wallpapers found in this set, you will need to locate the name of the wallpaper in the "Resource" box. Then click the link for that wallpaper to open it. Once it opens, you can set it as your desktop's wallpaper.
To set the wallpaper as your background, you will need to right-click on the full size wallpaper and select the "set as background" option in the menu. It may not say that exact thing, but it will be similar. It will all depend on the browser you are using. However, if you are using the Google Chrome browser, you will need to save the wallpaper to your desktop and then right-click on the thumbnail of the wallpaper to set it as your background.

Cat Fight
So, there is usually nothing funny about kittens or cats fighting. However, sometimes you just have to make an exception. These two kittens fighting in this wallpaper is absolutely adorable. How cute is the kitty in the air? The kitty in the air, getting ready to paw slap the other kitty is what makes this wallpaper so funny.
- slide 4 of 10
Dolphin & Cow Wallpaper
Well, it's not every day you see a cow and a dolphin jumping out of the ocean. A dolphin, yea that is normal. A cow, no that is not normal. A cow and a dolphin, well that is just crazy. But as crazy as it is, it makes a funny wallpaper. Someone has definitely photoshoped this photo unless there are saltwater cows I have never heard of. Whoever photoshoped it did a really good job with it because the cow looks like it is really coming out of the water. If this wallpaper made you laugh, you may want to set it as your desktop's wallpaper.
- slide 5 of 10
Smiling Cat Wallpaper
How can you not laugh at this kitty? This kitty has a huge head, huge eyes and a huge smile. To the right of the wallpaper, it says, "Keep Smiling." This wallpaper is now on my desktop. Every time I start stressing, I minimize everything and look at my wallpaper, laugh and remind myself to keep smiling. So, if you have those days, you may want to set this as your wallpaper. After all, it is pretty funny.
- slide 6 of 10
Zebra Motorcycle Wallpaper
Okay, so it is normal to see big cats chasing zebras. What isn't normal is seeing that zebra getting away on a motorcycle. So, what makes this wallpaper so funny? Well, you guessed it! That zebra on a motorcycle running away from that big cat. This is a really funny wallpaper and would make a nice desktop background. Any time you needed a laugh, you could minimize your stuff and there it would be.
- slide 7 of 10
Cat Eating Broccoli
So, what makes this wallpaper so funny? Well, it's not every day you see a cat being fed by a fork, let alone eating broccoli. In this wallpaper the cat looks funny with its mouth wide open waiting to be fed the broccoli. So, with those two things together, this wallpaper qualifies for a funny wallpaper.
- slide 9 of 10
Cat Drinking Water
The last wallpaper in this list of free funny animal wallpaper is of a cat drinking from the sink. This one is a bit different from the above wallpapers because this one is not so far-fetched. I have actually seen a cat do this. The owner would always leave the faucet dripping for the cat, in fact. If you are a cat lover, this may be the perfect background for your desktop. It is funny and adorable all wrapped in one.

and become what you are
capable of
is the only goal
worth living.
~ Alvin Ailey
There may many expectations you are making of yourself or feel that others are making of you. These create a lot of anxiety, and activity aimed at giving the appearance of being confident, competent, fun, interesting, entertaining, or successful. Yet what is your internal experience? It is not a coincidence that many people are full of anxiety and a sense of internal emptiness and feel that they are impostors.
It takes a commitment of time and curiosity and maybe some nascent self-love, to explore your inner landscape, searching for clues of who you really are and in what direction your life wants to go. This may involve making some major changes that may be initially uncomfortable or frightening. Yet the benefits and ultimate payoff are vast!
When you are aligned with your authentic self and its needs ( this may evolve over time), you may feel relaxed, energized, in a flow, focused, even if you are busily working on a project; instead of stressing you out it excites and stimulates you, it comes from a place in you that is enlivening rather than depleting. It's a state of creativity, of attunement with yourself, with who you are and what you are capable of. Even if it is a challenge and pushes you out of your comfort zone, it feels growthful and aligned with something important deep inside yourself.

(I have a list of six predictions about what I expect to see happen in academic library technology over the next 5-10 years. This is prediction #1.)
Libraries, publishers and vendors will continue to push more content, tools and services onto the cloud.
I think the content part of this prediction is reasonably uncontroversial. (But I have been wrong before.) As more content goes digital, more content will go nonlocal, because really, who has the server space or wants to deal with the rights complications? If you're the Ontario Council of University Libraries, you might be able to negotiate for "local load" of monographs (see slide 4)--but for all but one of the member libraries, and maybe just plain all of them, that content is still going to be living on one or more external servers.
As the content goes nonlocal, the tools will follow even more than they already have. If I go to netLibrary through my library or Google Books on the open web, I don't have to download any software. I've given up on using e-books or e-audiobooks from my local public library precisely because there's software to download, and it is a royal pain. Online journal databases might require me to download the latest version of Adobe Reader, but that's such a common tool that I won't even hyperlink it. Meanwhile, my library's catalog is hosted remotely, as was its predecessor. I don't know much about WorldCat Local, but it seems to be trying to move the "get it" function onto the cloud along with the "find it" function. In general, it seems to me that "the thing" and "the way you find and use the thing" are going to increasingly live in the same place.
All that's left is services. Services will follow the tools. Services are part of finding and using "the thing." Technical services folks seem okay with this concept. Public services folks, less so, though I could be listening to the wrong conversations. I'm not even talking about in-person vs. online or SMS (text) reference, or staffed vs. automated circulation. I'm saying that if in-person reference involves two people sitting in front of a computer using networked resources, that's a networked service, and the in-person aspect will increasingly become a boutique experience, as with, say, travel agents. If circulation is fundamentally a series of barcodes or RFID tags interacting with a networked ILS, that's a networked service. Contactless smart cards + robot book fetchers + library RFID tags = probably nothing any time soon, but just the idea of it will inspire various smaller changes in various academic libraries.
I still remember the day I was meeting with our director of distance learning, and we were discussing our electronic reserves system and whether it had any advantages over how they were using the content management system, and I blurted out, "Of course, now that IT has moved all the students to gmail accounts, really we should just do all this with Google Docs and Google Groups." I still think we should try it. It's only a matter of time before patrons Google Chat with reference librarians who then "check out" identified materials to them by sending a "share document" notification. Maybe a "check this item out" link in the local catalog will automatically generate the same kind of notification, and "return this item" will delete their identification from the document sharing list. For all I know, this kind of thing is already happening.
Obviously, there are serious digital divide questions here. For this reason, I don't see this trend as either total or super-fast. But 5-10 years? I really think there will be a lot more of it. (For one look at the same trend in higher ed in general, see the Tenured Radical.)

Arturo Jaras Watts '14 wins Udall Scholarship
When Arturo Jaras Watts '14 was a freshman, he came upon members of LEAF (Leaders for Environmental Action at Fairfield) using chalk to write environmental facts on the sidewalk to raise awareness on the topic. The statistics inspired and drew him into the world of environmentalism. Almost three years later, he's become a passionate advocate for investing in a brighter environmental future. Recently he was awarded a prestigious Udall Scholarship, a national government funded scholarship worth $5,000 given to students dedicated to careers in the environment.
This past fall semester, the economics major was encouraged by his faculty advisor Dr. Dina Franceschi, associate professor of economics, to apply for the scholarship. Jaras Watts said that until he came to Fairfield, he didn't know much about the subject, "Fairfield was really where I discovered this passion," he explained.
Jaras Watts knew that Fairfield was the school for him after he went on a campus tour. "I applied to seven or eight schools and visited all of them and I just really got the sense that this was the place for me," he said. "And I was right."
Once introduced to environmental activism, Jaras Watts quickly inserted himself into the movement and eventually led the way to form a new student group, The Proactive Investment Club, dedicated to promoting investments that create positive social change in addition to generating a financial return. The economist-in-training said, "My passion is in the crossroads between investment and environmentalism. The [Proactive Investment Club] is where the bulk of my environmental achievement has occurred."
In just two years, the group was able to work with Fairfield University administration to allocate $15,000 in the budget for on-campus sustainability projects ($15,000 in the form of student-written grants).
Jaras Watts hopes that the Proactive Investment Club can continue this work to establish a permanent revolving green fund at Fairfield. "We hope to make this something that exists in the DNA of the University to continue to make an impact long after I graduate." Jaras Watts also hopes to expand PIC nationally and start establishing chapters at different schools around the country. "Investing in positive change is an idea that students are getting excited about all around the country--there's a lot of potential in this strategy to make a difference"
In class, Jaras Watts' interest in the environment led him towards his interest in economics, which has been augmented by courses in other disciplines. For example, a social psychology course taught by Dr. Michael Andreychik, assistant professor of psychology has had the most impact on Jaras Watts so far. "Social psychology totally changed how I see the world and how I approach activism in efforts to make a difference" he explained. According to Jaras Watts, Fairfield's core curriculum has given him exposure to various other subjects. "The core has helped me approach economics in what I consider to be a holistic way. As a result of that, I don't just look at the subject in a one-dimensional sense."
This summer, Jaras Watts will remain on campus and serve as a research assistant to Dr. Mark LeClair, professor of economics. Together they will research social business and philanthropy. His role will consist of reviewing the existing research and co-writing a journal article on their findings. In addition, he will travel to Arizona in August to participate in Udall Scholarship orientation.
Following graduation, Jaras Watts plans to pursue a Ph.D. in economics with a focus on socially responsible investment. "I think if there's one big lesson that's come out of [my time at Fairfield] it's that compassion is not enough, it's absolutely important to get out there and actively try to create change. Because if we don't, who will?"

Here's the debut mixtape from Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky and the video for the breakout track "Peso." The mix boasts five cuts with production from Clams Casino along with guest appearances from Main Attrakionz and Spaceghostpurrp. Rocky just recently signed a deal for a cool $3 million with Sony/RCA's Polo Grounds Music, so you'll be hearing more from him for sure. Pitchfork has an interesting interview with the newly minted rapper here.
Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky just signed a deal for $3 million, so you should probably get up to speed. Here's his debut mixtape featuring production from Clams Casino and Spaceghostpurrp.
