What caused the daily digest email wars?
The Financial Times has launched a daily digest email called First FT.
I've noticed a retro trend for daily and weekly digest emails from publishers, with Quartz' version regularly cited by digital folk as the first thing they read in the morning.
Here's why email is enjoying a bit of a resurgence. I've included some examples of other publishers and their daily digests.
The rise of freemium apps
The freemium model is in the ascendancy when it comes to apps.
Paid apps peaked in 2013 according to Jon Reynolds, CEO of SwiftKey. SwiftKey provides an app bringing smart prediction technology to your mobile keyboard and, indeed, has itself gone down the freemium route.
The app used to cost $4 and was consistently in the paid charts, now it's free to download, with in-app purchases available.
So, what are the reasons for and consequences of the rise of freemium apps?
10 tips for B2B freemiums
Making money providing a free online service is still the sexiest option for many entrepreneurs and business owners, but generating revenue by charging users is increasingly sexy too.
As such, it's no surprise that in recent years many companies have sought the best of both worlds through the so-called 'freemium' model.
Why Twitter should charge its users
Twitter seems to be moving towards a 'walled garden' model, with hosted ads. But is there another way forward?
As recently reported here on Econsultancy, Twitter's API is 'evolving'. It's already removed personal Twitter feeds from LinkedIn, and is threatening to revise the terms of its API so that third parties like Tweetbot and Tweetie can no longer replicate its core experience on their sites.
Some commentators see this as a move towards a 'walled garden' model, like Facebook's, where people must use Twitter's own sites or apps to access the core experience.
Once there, they'll be obliged to put up with whatever ads Twitter sees fit to host. The strategy gives Twitter full control over the format of advertising, and also the option to integrate more added-value stuff (games, e-commerce etc).
Consumable goods dominate mobile games: report
While the business of virtual goods has probably been popularized most by social games such as Farmville, the mobile market for virtual goods has developed into a lucrative space for mobile games as well.
There's a good reason for this: charging for a mobile game itself has become increasingly difficult for many game developers, and virtual goods offer one of the best ways to implement a freemium model.
According to mobile ad network Flurry, as of June 2011, well over half (65%) of the revenue for top-grossing games in Apple's U.S. App Store was generated by freemium games. Just six months earlier, 61% of revenue was generated by paid games.
Spotify's new freemium: a little less 'free'
The internet has popularized the freemium model like no other channel, but building a successful business on this model can be quite a challenge.
One company that has succeeded: Spotify, the Swedish company that has become Europe's most popular music streaming service.
With freemium, MailChimp thrives where many others fail
For many internet startups, a freemium business model is an enticing solution to the problem of revenue generation: let the world taste what you provide at no cost, and once your most avid users are hooked, let them pay for what they've come to love.
It's simple in theory, but for many startups, building a viable business on the freemium model never becomes a reality.
Hulu's freemium model is missing the premium part
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp is frantically trying to monetize its digital properties. As part of that plan, popular video site Hulu recently added a premium version that costs $9.99 a month. For consumers looking for high quality video content online, it's an interesting model. But there's one catch.
According to new research from One Touch Intelligence, 88% of the content available on Hulu Plus is already available on Hulu for free.
Paid Content: Ning takes the free out of its freemium service
In alll the talk about paid content online, the word freemium comes up a lot. In theory, freemium allows consumers to get a taste of a product for free and then eventually converts them into paid customers once they get hooked and demand more services. But it's not always so easy.
In the case of social networking platform Ning, the freemium model was putting them out of business. Starting in June, Ning went all in on premium. The result? More people are paying to use Ning. But whether that's sustainable is another story.
Skype's dilemma — Can ubiquity breed a business model?
Online communications tool Skype has been wildly popular in its seven-year existence. And for good reason — it makes free internet and video calls feasible for people who want to communicate around the world. But the business model has one discernable flaw: if everyone in the world used Skype to call each other, the company would make no money.
Skype CEO Josh Silverman says his company's mission is to be "the fabric of real-time communication on the web." With over 23 million people Skyping in March, it seems the company is getting pretty close to achieving that goal. But getting users to pay for premium services could be a challenge. That's why the company is considering adding advertising to its interface. Will consumers take to ads after getting Skype for free all these years?
Guilting customers to pay is not a sustainable business model
The recession and weak ad market have led many well regarded businesses to ask their customers to reach into their pockets and pay a little (or more) money to their cause. But guilting users into opening their wallets is not a long term fix.
This week, Ars Technica CEO Ken Fisher conducted an experiment with ad blocking software, in efforts to get readers to start interacting with the ads on his site. My colleague Patricio Robles has written about the mixed reaction to Ars Technica's plea. But now it turns out that Fisher's efforts have helped the site's bottom line.
Pandora's lesson: Your first business model doesn't have to be your last
The road to online music streaming is littered with the bodies of startups with interesting ways of sharing music. And internet radio darling Pandora was almost one of them — multiple times. This weekend, The New York Times documented the various ways that Pandora almost went out of business over the 10 years of its existence.
Pandora is on track to earn $100 million this year. That turn around is due to a number of issues. Some of them are extenuating circumstances — like recently reduced royalty fees for streaming songs. But Pandora has also been paying attention to changes in consumer behavior and digital payment structures. Their new revenue streams — including online ads, new streaming deals and a paid streaming model — prove that there's not always one way to bring in a dollar.

Active in tramp shipping since 1952, Rudolf A. Oetker (RAO) ranks among the leading German tramp shipping companies, operating bulk carriers, product tankers and container vessels on all the world's oceans. In contrast to liner shipping, there are no fixed routes and sailing times in the demand-driven tramp sector. When and where a particular ship is loaded, and where it sails, depends on the customer, the cargo and, ultimately, the market.
In this constantly changing environment, RAO commands a sound knowledge of the market, expertise acquired over many years which enables it to provide the right ship in the right place and at the best possible time. Proving a genuine competitive advantage is the fact that RAO has built up a comprehensive network of selected brokers over the years and sources its tonnage without exception from renowned shipping companies.
And it is not only customers from across the globe that draw on RAO's know-how. Hamburg Süd, too, makes use of the qualified and competent contacts for chartering container tonnage in pursuit of long-term capacity planning.

To make the enchiladas filling: Strip the leaves from the stems of the Swiss chard, and chop the leaves and coarsely slice the stems; and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the 2 tablespoons oil. Add the potatoes and cook until golden brown and tender, about 8 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper, to taste. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onions and garlic, and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the Swiss chard stems, cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the leaves, and remaining salt and pepper, cover, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are wilted, about 5 minutes more. Transfer the mixture to a strainer over a medium bowl, drain off any excess liquid, and cool. Combine the potatoes with 1/2 cup of the cheese and the Swiss chard mixture, and set aside.
To make the salsa: Put the tomatillos in a medium saucepan and cover with water by about an inch. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until tender, about 7 minutes.
In a blender, combine the onions, garlic, jalapeno, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and puree until smooth. Using a slotted spoon transfer the tomatillos to the blender, along with about 1/4-cup of the cooking liquid, puree until smooth. Add the coriander and blend briefly.
To assemble the enchiladas: Pour enough vegetables oil into a skillet so it is about a 1/4 deep, and heat over high heat. Fry the tortillas one at a time, until they are soften, about 5 seconds. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour about a cup of the tomatillo salsa into the bottom of 13 by 9 inch baking dish. Put 2 heaping tablespoon of the Swiss chard mixture in the center each tortilla and roll them up. Place the tortillas, seams side down, on the sauce laying the enchiladas snuggly next to one other. Spoon the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is softened, about 20 minutes. Serve with sour cream on top, if desired.

Experiencing the History
Center Ι Classes Ι Colloquia Ι Research Opportunities Ι Conferences Ι Team-taught Classes Ι Co-teach Ι Student Leadership Opportunities Ι Study Abroad in Oxford, UK Ι Community Service Opportunities
"For me, my colloquium with Dr. Song on faith and vocation was very impactful in my life and in my future plans. I think the colloquiums as a whole offer students the opportunity to dig deeper in areas outside of their major." -- Sarah Ruhl '16 (Marketing)
In addition to core honors classes, honors students may take up to six optional one-hour colloquia for honors credit. Some are taught in the classroom to explain key historical figures, movements and events while other colloquia are trips taken to explore important historical sites. The program covers all colloquia expenses with the exception of tuition and meals. Various colloquia are offered each semester.
Previous colloquia:
- The Contemplative Tradition at Subiaco Abbey A spiritual retreat is hosted each fall at the turn-of-the-century Subiaco Abbey, a monastery in Central Arkansas. Three days in the abbey provides the opportunity to reflect intentionally on evangelical faith by encountering the virtues of hospitality, silence, community and humility as demonstrated by the monks of Subiaco Abbey.
- Apostle Paul's Ministry: Being a Tent-maker Here students examined the role of tent-making in Apostle Paul's ministry through the scripture while seeking God's guidance in being tent-makers in our daily lives for the advancement of the gospel.
- Got Identity? Understanding Stereotype Threats Students learned how stereotype threats emerge in the academy, places of worship and our communities. Students traveled to a historical black institution to observe and reflect on the many case studies introduced. This course offered honor students opportunities to discuss identity contingencies.
- Reading, Eating, Thinking Students gathered together at the president's home for dinner. Here, some of the best modern and contemporary British poets, including people such as Yeats, Auden, Larkin and others were read and studied. This course was about thinking as each of these poets offering us new ways to imagine the world around us.
- Martin Luther King's Call to Racial Reconciliation Key sites of the early Civil Rights Movement were introduced during this colloquia. The trip included stops in Tennessee, Alabama, Selma, and ended at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church in which King and his father served.

In Ald. Troutman's case well I've stated a couple of times that I wouldn't be surprised if she wins despite her current legal troubles. We also see that she seems to not mind holding development of her ward in limbo. One could say she took a page out of the book of her colleague Ald. Dorthy Tillman her fellow south side Alderman who is also predicted for the most part to either lose or be in a runoff.
Still I have one prediction that indicates that she will lose her race, but this first prediction is from local political columnist Russ Stewart...
Arenda Troutman, age 49, has been the alderman of the South Side 20th Ward since 1991. She was indicted on bribery charges in January. "Somebody's out to get me," she was quoted as saying. She's cloaking herself in victimhood, and she has weak opposition.
20th Ward: In the black community an indictment can be a badge of honor, particularly if the indicted claims to be a victim of white racism. Or it can be an embarrassment. Troutman, who got 56 percent of the vote in 2003, faces two foes: Willie Cochran, a retired cop, and Ed Chaney, a retired dentist.
My prediction: Troutman will drop under 50 percent on Feb. 27, and she will lose the runoff.
Here's another column from Richard Carnahan of Gaper's Block. He predicts exactly the oppose with probable percentages...
20th Ward: I hope you didn't think the federal indictment on corruption charges would forestall an outright Troutman victory. Not in Chicago.
Prediction: Arenda Troutman 58%, Other 42%
I don't know if it'll be that high, but again it wouldn't surprise me if she won this one. If the evidence against her is worth anything, she won't have much time to serve and what we'll see is yet another appointed Alderman from Mayor Daley. Who knows Bishop Brazier might actually approve of this choice.
The election is next week, BTW, vote if you can and make a choice.

Yes, many terrorists probably get assistance from people that law enforcement doesn't know about. Intelligence seems to be a key in stopping terrorist attacks, but it would be nearly impossible to know about every move a terrorist makes before an attack. If that much information were available, there would be no more terrorist attacks.
It can be reasonably assumed that most terrorists don't have a complete span of knowledge of everything they need to carry out their attacks. For example, a terrorist may need another person to craft his weapon (eg bomb, IED, etc), gather certain information (information on gatherings of people, the security in a certain area, known political targets plans to be present), or auxiliary tasks (distractions, transport, publication). This is why, as can be seen in recent events, seldom are these attacks done with only one individual.
Unfortunately. due to the nature of freedom itself, we can't possibly know every conversation had by every individual and have it be worthy of a judge. That's the question we all have to ask ourselves when we absorb a piece of news from all the different outlets that are out there now.
Many terrorists plans may be crafted without law enforcement knowing about them, but modern technology makes it possible for investigators to track their activities once they focus attention on the suspects. Phone calls, online chats, and even their day-to-day activities can be tracked by companies and investigators. There are few, if any, people associated with them who the authorities don't know about.

I have great respect for contractors who do on-site work. I would be a terrible contractor, and here's why: In my shop, I have every tool I need, but when I have to hit the road to do work, I overthink my selection and bring far too many tools—always missing the one I really need. I'm sure this is just an experience thing, and if I had to do more work outside my own shop I would get better. For now however, I'm a hopeless mess.
This afternoon I will be planing a Douglas Fir beam at the J. Gibson McIlvain lumber yard that is too big for any of our moulders and planers in the millworks. It is a custom sized roof beam for a timber framer that is 18 feet long, 10" thick and 14" wide. Because of the non-standard dimensions, we had to bandsaw it to size. Since the customer is using this in a highly visible space, he does not want the tool marks in evidence.
The first thought around the lumberyard was to hit it with a belt sander. Then stupid hand tool freak Director of Marketing had to open his big mouth and suggest that "handplaning it would probably be faster and more precise." So guess who is now in charge of cleaning up this timber?
So here I stand in my shop trying to figure out what my weapons of choice will be for this job. Based on the length, the jointer plane seems like an obvious choice, though I'm not trying to dimension or flatten the beam but really am just removing the bandsaw marks. Wouldn't a shorter plane more able to follow the contour of the board be faster? However, the added mass of a jointer will keep the plane moving easier over an 18' long surface.
Perhaps the Jack plane would be a compromise on the length while still providing some mass to keep the plane in motion. I could adhere to the beam shape better with a 4" shorter sole.
The thing is, I really don't want to change the shape of this beam any more than I have to. The bandsawn surface is really very clean already, so my aim is to set the depth of cut aggressively enough to be able to take a continuous shaving from end to end, thus preventing multiple passes that could remove a little more in one spot over another and changing the flatness of the beam. Yes, a shorter plane could do this, but a heavier cut will be harder to maintain in a lighter plane.
So I'm grabbing my jointer plane, and I'll bring along a block plane and a card scraper in case I need to do any spot work clean up. The reality is that until I put blade to wood I won't know how my choice will play out.
Do you see why I would be a terrible jobsite woodworker? I have successfully overanalyzed this problem and solved it by not bringing one tool but 3. Is it any wonder I spend my days analyzing market data and website user behavior? Problem solving is fun!
I'll report back on how my plane choice worked out after I have completed the job…if I still have strength in my arms to type.
Taking a second to catch my breath. The jointer is working out well except that this board is ridiculously out-of-flat, which I should have anticipated better. Basically at every knot the bandsaw blade deflected slightly, causing the whole timber to have a very undulating profile. Here you can see a very nice finished surface where the plane is catching but lots of skip lines where the knots interfere. My block plane is handling the knots quite well but each one has to be tackled individually. I should be able to finish this face with about 30 more minutes work.
It pains me to say it, but due to time constraints on this piece we will probably switch to a belt sander for the two edges. I wish I had the time to dedicate to it, because this timber is the perfect handplaning test piece. To get a completely clean surface you will need to employ every trick in the book. So let me go on the record here and say that I believe a more beautiful surface can be had with handplanes, but in the fast paced world of construction where a beam needs to be ready to fit into a roof that will be 25' over the floor, a belt sander and 100 grit paper will do the job just fine.

Andis, the joke is that Shannon is the Director of Marketing.
All to common problem in my field (remodeling). While I would love to use my handplanes more often it just isn't feasible. Power hand planers and belt sanders are my go to tools more often than not.

Refer back to Part 1 for the 411 on the effect of alcohol on your fat loss or muscle gains. In short, it's not a pretty picture.
I'm not going to tip-toe around it. Alcohol consumption makes things a lot harder for the body composition conscious individual
Part 1 concerned the scientific rationale behind alcohol and weight management / body composition.
Part 2, however is more in the realms of me thinking aloud, and offering some practical strategies regarding alcohol consumption and fat loss, or at least maintaining a relatively lean body.
But now, let me light the way for you a little.
Up to now, I've sort of given alcohol a bit of a kick in the balls (and quite rightly, to be honest). But much of my philosophy lies in the concept of balance:
'fit/strong/healthy meets enjoyable lifestyle'.
Let's therefore bring in some balance, and talk about the potentially beneficial things associated with alcohol consumption
- Let's face it. It tends to coincide with holidays, parties, other fun times, and great memories that you will remember far more than a Friday night in with your brown rice and chicken! #alittleperspective
- As mentioned in part 1, the research on alcohol is mixed. Some of it indeed is positive. Alcohol consumption has been linked to living longer, for instance (Gaziano et al, 2000) Anecdotally, the French for instance seem to drink their share of red wine and live to long, healthy lives (statistically far more so than Americans/Brits etc).
- A potentially positive effect on insulin sensitivity and diabetes (Arima, 2002) (Pietraszek, 2010).
Certainly, if you want to get in TOP shape, you likely need to get rid of alcohol (unless you're one of those genetic freaks).
But if a staying in reasonable shape whilst keeping alcohol in your life sounds like a reasonable compromise, here are some strategies that may help you:
STRATEGY 1 – Don't drink alcohol AND eat at the same time
Alcohol is given number 1 priority when it hits the body (Siler, 1999). It is the first thing your liver is looking to metabolise and convert into energy once it enters the system.
When drinking, consider that each gram of alcohol equates to roughly 7 kcal. Yes, you do the mathematics (refer to Part 1 how many calories are in beer/vodka-redbull/wine). You're probably having your fair share of alcohol-calories if you're out for the evening drinking.
Now because ethanol metabolism is given a priority, let's ask for a minute: what's going to happen to the rest of the calories in your cocktail, not to mention the food you just ate?
You got it —>> Fat storage!
Your body puts a stop to other metabolic processes in order to deal with a far more pressing issue of the toxic mess. And until it has been dealt with, your body will be forced to delay utlisation of fatty acids and, essentially, your food.
A good analogy I've heard before is this: a man can't possibly work two jobs at the same time. He needs to wait until his shift is over from the first before starting the next. In this context, alcohol metabolism is the job number 1.
STRATEGY 2 – Better choices of alcoholic beverage, for health and body composition
An example: Red wine
Not all alcoholic drinks are created equal. Some drinks (like red wine) can even be healthy and beneficial.
Red wine is one of my favourite things in life… at least it was, until I discovered through my LEAP MRT test that grapes are a highly inflammatory food to my body. But just because my body doesn't respond well to wine, it doesn't mean you need to miss out on its extensive benefits:
- High in resveratrol, procyanidins and saponins. Between the two of them, this can reduce inflammation, reduce LDL cholesterol, inhibit cholesterol oxidation, protect against neurodegenerative diseases, help insulin sensitivity and have a protective effect against type II diabetes.
- Contains melatonin – which can help with sleep.
1-2 glasses of red wine (only in the evening) can actually be a very healthy habit for some populations.
Another example: Cocktails vs shots
Unless you have no brain, you've probably worked out by now (having read Strategy 1 above) that delicious sugar-filled cocktails with a thousand and one colourful syrups are not going to help with weight loss. They'll help with piling on the body fat.
A better shout, if you want to have some fun whilst minimizing the body fat spillover is to go for drinks that are almost entirely alcohol as far as their calorie content goes.
For instance, a large (35ml) shot of vodka = 72.
All of this comes from alcohol.
Translating this into simple English: drink straight spirits in moderation. 4 shots is far more physique friendly than 4 spirit/mixer combos, which effectively is the same amount of alcohol – but with a truckload of added sugar. I'm not for a second condoning alcohol excess, or not telling you to go and down a litre of vodka! What I am saying however is that if your intention is to get a little "tipsy", you can drink beverages of a higher alcohol:sugar ratio to your advantage.
STRATEGY 3 – Avoid drinking alcohol with 'mixers' to stay lean
This is pretty self-explanatory, and is basically an extension of my last point.
The excess sugar and calories from your mixers will just be stored as fat – not to mention the rest of the damage inflicted upon the body by high sugar intakes, such as a build up of AGE's and inflammatory markers.
STRATEGY 4 – Protective measures peri-drinking
TIP 1 (generic tip):
Drink green tea and eat antioxidant rich foods like blueberries and apples, to boost antioxidant status in the body.
This will aid the liver with biotransformation and combat any alcohol-induced problems.
TIP 2 (pre-drinking tip)
Eat a small, balanced meal an hour or two before you know you'll have a few drinks.
This meal should be low in carbohydrates but contain enough protein, fibre and healthy fats to keep you satiated and make sure that blood sugar is stable.
It will also may help prevent blood sugar lows and hunger strikes later on, which will make you more likely to cave in to cocktails / fast food.
STRATEGY 5 – Drink alcohol less frequently
TIP: Don't let alcohol become a daily thing, or ANY more than once a week (ideally) if you want to prevent fat gain and maintain body composition.
If you're drinking every day, or even more than twice in a week, it's not great news (for the mind, body, or the soul).
It may be the case that you need advice from a Jedi ( … that's Obi-Wan, not me):
"You want to go home and re-think your life".
Another advantage to drinking less frequently is that your body seems to become less accustomed to alcohol, meaning that on the rare occasion you do decide to have a few, you'll be far more of a lightweight, and be able to enjoy yourself more.
STRATEGY 6 – Plan your workout times strategically.
Do not to train heavily when you know that later on that day, you're going to be shunting your recovery capacity with alcohol.
Hard training + high alcohol consumption = No lean muscle gains – perhaps muscle loss – and compromised hormonal status! (Valimaki, 1990)
You'd be completely negating any of the hard work you did in the gym, because as we know, our gains come not when we're in the gym but during our rest and adaptation. So definitely don't do a tough workout on the day of a party, let alone a couple of hours before.
For years, I tried to get my best friend out of this habit. He maintained that he didn't think it made much of a difference, and that he wanted to 'get a pump' before an evening out… That 'pump' is short lived when you follow it with booze! … And the next day you feel flat as a soft drink left out in the sun for three days.
Of course, eventually he started listening to me, stopped training on days that involved drinking, and proclaimed "Man, this is making such a difference to my body!"
… Finally, I got through to him!
As well as this, the morning after is not a good time to be hitting the gym hard either.
TIP: never try a high volume leg workout the day after a party!
You'll be weak, it will suck, you will cry, everyone will laugh at you … I'm just guessing… Of course, this has never happened to me 😉
However, just because you shouldn't aim to set a new PR or do a 100 rep pull up challenge the following day, I don't think you should skip the gym altogether.
Certainly, the morning after would be a good time to do some interval training or gentle cardio. At least do something to stimulate blood flow, and get back to business on the following day.
STRATEGY 7 – Plan your workout periodization strategically.
Anyone on top of their training game knows that you cannot train "100% balls-to-the-walls" all of the time.
Training with intensity, determination and drive is fantastic. But you must train intelligently, too. If you continue to do max. lifts, strip sets and 100 rep challenges all the time, you will overtrain and stop making gains.
So the best thing to do is periodize your training, alternating between intensification and accumulation phases.
You should also incorporate deload phases into your programmes, where you reduce work volume and let your body compensate.
De-loading doesn't mean not training. But it does mean taking it easier.
It's in these de-load phases, that it would be the ideal time to party, or so to speak – and not when you're in the midst of the most demanding workout programme of your life.
STRATEGY 8 – Question your own behaviours
Ask yourself a few questions:
- Am I doing this because I actually want to? Or has it just become 'the norm' in the context of my social circle?
- Is this making my life any better?
- If I didn't 'drink', where would I be now? What would I be doing, in general?
- If challenged, could I actually go out to a party, and NOT have anything to drink?
- If no, why not?
- Are the people I'm hanging out with any good for me …?
For many people, they are in complete control of their lives, habits and they are living in balance.
But for others, they need to dig a little deeper… Perhaps alcohol has become a way to momentarily cover up your insecurities, give you false confidence, or help you to hide from reality.
Hey, I'm not here to answer any of these questions for you! This is for each man/woman to do for himself / herself.
No one is in control of your own life but you!
And it all starts with being honest with ones self.
To wrap it all up:
Understand that alcohol may well be your rate limiting factor in fat loss and muscle, especially if you drink and you're not in great shape.
When all else is on track: you are training hard; diet is in order; you're staying hydrated, sleeping well – and yet you still see a baffled look on the face of every person who you tell "Yeah, I go to the gym", then something's clearly wrong.
If you're one of those lads / ladies who likes to party up and go out on the lash fairly frequently, well please put two and two together.
You do the math! It's obvious why you're not in as lean as you would like to be!
Listen. I didn't make the rules. Believe me, if I could change things, I would. And whilst I want you to have the best of both worlds, sometimes, something's got to give. You may have to transition away from something to make room for something better.
Hopefully it won't come to this, and you can still drink (in moderation), have the odd night out, and maintain a lean body via applying some of the damage control principles.
But to reiterate what I said initially: I'm not going to tip-toe around the reality of it.
You, yourself need to make this assessment. What do you love more – Six pack abs, or a six pack of beer? Sex on the beach (the drink!), or looking sexy on the beach?
And that's a decision only you can make.

I have a windows 7 machine and upgraded to windows 10 only to discover a privacy nightmare. Lucky for you, you now have your own personal advertiser's ID. Windows monitors everything, including keystrokes. There are tons of privacy settings and when you disable them you disable many features such as Cortona which basically scours all your info and data to do things you really don't need done. For example it will track your packages and tell you when they will arrive. Who needs that when you already get emails notifying you about when your package will arrive. If Cortona tells you that your package will arrive today and it doesn't, what then?
Next you are stuck with the horrible mono color theme until Window Blinds supports 10. I found some of my applications didn't work anymore like my Bernina Embroidery Software Version 7.
The boot up was slow and showed me a log in screen, even though I don't use a password and then proceed to show me the desktop. Even when I was at the desktop the system would grind away not allowing me to run apps. About twice as long to get started as Windows 7.
The start menu was full of junk I didn't want and when I pinned the calculator to the menu, I couldn't find the icon because it was at the bottom of all the items, instead of on the left side icons. When I deleted all the tiles, I was left with an ugly blank blocky box for a start menu. You can fix the menu by using Stardock's start 10 menu, but there is appears no way to remove the HUGE Cortona search box on the taskbar. Also the minimize all windows in the right corner is so small, it is very hard to use now.
When I opened the calculator, it was so god awful looking that I didn't even want to do math. This is due to it being a strange web app, instead of a native Windows app. I tried other calculators but they all were pretty poor.
So feeling like playing a game I tried solitaire. The game wasn't even the original solitaire and I couldn't play until I watched a 30 minute advertisement for a ford trucks. I loaded up the Xbox store and couldn't find the free Fable game.
The Edge browser is pretty useless as there are no apps for it, like Chrome or Firefox.
The settings are all over the place and there are multiple windows for settings. There are also so many settings that you can easily get confused.
The best part of Windows 10 was the ability to revert back to Windows 7 without losing anything.
There are only a three reasons I see to use Windows 10:
1. You have an Xbox and want to play those games on your PC.
2. You want DirectX 12, but there currently aren't any games that really support it yet.
3. You are a large company and might be able to track more info about your employees than you could before.

Poniendo fin a la violencia de género: Un Ilamado a la acción global para involucrar a los hombres
Violence is a global problem, manifest at every level of society. Violence is among every society's most costly and most urgent problem. Gender inequalities create gender-based violence. Men's violence is socially cultivated and promoted. Ending men's silence can reduce gender-based violence. We can learn from other societies how to engage men to reduce gender-based violence. Much important work is happening around the world to enable men to commit themselves to reduce gender-based violence. These initiatives demonstrate the best practices of engagement for men in the effort to reduce gender-based violence. Ending gender-based violence will benefit women, children and men. Men's awareness of gender-based violence will promote children's rights and enhance children's lives.

The Internet would be clogged up with a lot less bullshit if commenters and trolls had to eventually meet the guys they talk trash about, especially if the subject of their vitriol were a professional fighter.
The dude above is lucky that he called out Joe Lauzon and not Josh Koscheck, or he might be in a bit more pain. Koscheck once posted a message on his MS page that if anyone talking smack about his fighting prowess wanted to see how good he was, they could come into his American Kickboxing Academy satellite gym and find out.
Here's a video of a guy who thought he could take the UFC welterweight.

Kos and J-Lau aren't the only guys who have answered an Internet challenge. UFC color analyst Joe Rogan once took the time to school a keyboard warrior on the mats who challenged him through MySpace.

Lourdes Benería is a professor of gender and economic development at Cornell University and the author of Gender, Development and Globalization: Economics as if People Mattered. Her research centers on feminist economics, labor markets, women's work and globalization, with a special focus on Latin America. She spoke with ecological economist Tom Green.
on why economics is so resistant to change
Economics is a very hegemonic discipline, even though there are so many heterodox economists that protest this arrogance and this unwillingness to discuss criticisms. Compared to other social sciences that have integrated gender much more easily, conventional economics has been one of the most impenetrable disciplines. It has been difficult, if not impossible, for orthodox economics to incorporate feminist issues.
Part of the resistance is because economists think of themselves as developing scientific tools of analysis, and some of the issues raised by feminists seem too remote to this culture: economists think that they are more "scientific" than other social scientists. The salaries of economists are higher than those of other social scientists – even in universities, let alone in the business world. Economics is called the queen of the social sciences because it mimics physics and uses math.
Mathematics gives the impression that economics is scientific and so you cannot question it. But you have to dig into the assumptions. For example, look at the area known as "household economics." The neoclassical assumptions used to set up these models imply that men and women are free and equal individuals negotiating rationally what's best for the household. Some models assume that decisions are made by a "benevolent patriarch" who understands what's best for the household and each member. There is no emotion or love involved in decisions based on economic rationality.
But the fact is – as feminists have pointed out – within a household, men and women can be very unequal subjects, and decisions are not merely rational. Men have often had better educational opportunities – they may own land, they may control the money, they typically have more power. The picture of reality portrayed by these models is very androcentric or male-biased. Policies based on these models can underestimate how they affect men and women differently.
The problem is that to deal with gender relations you have to incorporate power into the analysis. Neoclassical economics does not deal with power relations; it tends to focus on purely economic issues. In contrast, the so-called "bargaining models" can focus more directly on power and asymmetric relations within the household.
on the perils of maximization
Economics is the big maximizing discipline: we want to maximize utility, maximize growth, maximize income and maximize production – given some constraints of course. We assume that the capitalist maximizes profits. For years and years the discipline has not taken into consideration the economic costs generated by all this maximization without any checks, and we are now seeing the consequences. The earth is in danger of not being able to support all this unregulated economic activity, and we now have a very serious ecological crisis. We cannot think only about maximizing anymore. At the very least we have to think about maximizing subject to some conditions. Our discipline is totally in need of rethinking. Economists talk about sustainable development with a very weak notion of what sustainability means. Scientists are telling us that it is impossible to even sustain what we have been taking for granted so far – especially in the high-income countries. We have to start reducing consumption, which means reducing the production that is causing so many problems to the earth. What the ecological crisis means is that economists have to start almost at zero in terms of rethinking the discipline.[cherry_banner image="4794″ title="Adbusters #85″ url="http://subscribe.adbusters.org/collections/back-issues/products/ab85″ template="issue.tmpl"]Thought Control in Economics[/cherry_banner]

The DuQuesne class was a class of superdreadnoughts built and used by the People's Navy. It was named for the creator of the DuQuesne Plan.
Class Design Edit
The design was the largest warship to be built by the Havenite Navy. The class was designed to take a more conservative approach with a mix of missile tubes, beam weapons, active defenses, and armor. The design lineage hearkens back to the Hempstead-class dreadnought and breaks with the modern Havenite doctrine of win the engagement in the first salvo.
As of 1905 PD there were five flights in the design. Flight II vessels had an improved sidewall strength and hammerhead armor. Flight III vessels replaced a quarter of the broadside point defense clusters with countermissile tubes. The AR-2 Phased Radar Array was upgraded to the AR-7(b) system.
Flight IV vessels had a re-arrangement of a number interior spaces for ease of maintenance, while improving the sidewalls. Flight V vessels got three more salvos of magazine storage to each broadside through use of an improved feed mechanism.
After the Flight IV upgrades, the class became one of the most sought after billets in the Navy due to its comfortability and versatility. The class has one of the best rates of uptime and readiness. This was due to the incorporation of many lessons learned from the near-continuous military expansion of the Republic.
A Flight VI study was considered to reduce missile tube broadside to forty-four, but it has not gotten any support.
Construction Notes Edit
PNS DuQuesne, the first vessel to be laid down, was commissioned in 1879 PD, introducing the largest class of superdreadnoughts to be built at the time. (JIR2)
Eleven DuQuesne-class superdreadnoughts captured at the Third Battle of Yeltsin's Star were given to the Grayson Space Navy and refitted as the Manticore's Gift class. (HH5)
18 ships were used by Manticore until the ceasefire. They were sold to the Grayson Space Navy. ("House of Steel")

Marouane Fellaini will delay having surgery on a wrist injury until December.
The Belgian midfielder missed Manchester United's 2-1 win over Sunderland because of the complaint.
It had been expected that the injury to his wrist ligaments would require immediate surgery, thus ruling him out of Belgium's World Cup qualifiers and some key Manchester United Premier League fixtures until around December.
However according to Sky Sports, Fellaini, a £27.5 million deadline day buy from Everton, will delay the operation until December to ensure he won't miss up to two crucial months of football.
Fellaini, who featured for Manchester United in their Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk in mid-week, will continue to play with a wrist guard, and is currently with the Belgium squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Croatia.
The decision appears to go against the wishes of Manchester United, who according to the Guardian would prefer that the midfielder went under the knife as soon as possible.
However Red Devils boss Marc Wilmots has denied that claim, and says Fellaini will be available for selection as normal.
"Marouane Fellaini should be able to play for Belgium against Croatia in Zagreb on Friday," he said.
"Marouane has suffered wrist ligament injury and will have to undergo surgery. He will join the squad and train on Tuesday with a splint.
"As far as I am concerned, in principle he is able to play Friday. This does not mean that he will automatically play. I have not heard from Manchester United asking that the operation should be as quickly as possible."

April 13, 2003 · Lessig
Doc has an interesting post about CC licenses and the public domain. As he rightly notes, we have no direct license that you can link to so as to place your material in the public domain. This is not because we wouldn't like to offer such a license. It is instead because the law does not make such simplicity possible. While for most of our history, there were a thousand ways to move creative material into the public domain, most lawyers today are puzzled about whether there is any way to move work into the public domain.
We have tried to build a way, but it is not automatic. If you follow this link, there are a number of steps you can take to put material into the public domain. We believe that if you follow these steps, then your work is in the public domain. Again, there's no way to be certain about this. But this is our best guess, given the murky state of the law.
Again, this can't be automatic. But you can automatically license your content under an Attribution only license. The only requirement that an Attribution licenses imposes is that a subsequent adopters give credit. This is an important, but slight burden. And because our licenses are perpetual, this is quite close to a public domain dedication.

I have a NAS-542. The first three disks work at 3 Gbps, but the fourth works at 1.5 Gbps.
Is it normal? Or is my NAS defective?
If I plug in only one disk into different slots, the result is the same - The same disk works at 3 Gbps in slot 1..3, and at 1.5 Gbps in slot 4.
Sometimes the disk4 is mounted half an our after the NAS is powered on, so the RAID must be resynced. Have you seen a similar problem?
Thanks in advance

US economy key to White House job
It wasn't exactly the "major" economic speech trailed by the campaign, but Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's speech in Iowa was important.
His demeanour is serious and sober, but the strategy is almost schoolboy cheek. Remember 2008 - hope and change? Mitt Romney says he is now the candidate of change, big change, while President Barack Obama stands for the status quo.
Some people will vote for him because he promises a new vision. Like the man in the "coal=jobs" baseball cap and bright red Romney-Ryan T-shirt. He was choked with emotion.
We spoke as he was making his way out of a rally for Mr Romney in the state of Ohio, a bright-eyed toddler in one arm, a slightly older child holding his free hand.
"It's devastating to us," he says. "Without a change in the United States, small businesses over here, people working every day to feed their families." His voice breaks and he is close to tears.
"Things are really bad, very bad here. We need a change now, and Mitt Romney is the man to do it. We cannot afford four more years of this."
Given his cap, I suspect he is a miner or construction worker. I couldn't be more wrong. He owned a hairdressing salon and had to lay off 22 stylists.
The Romney campaign will be hoping there are millions as distressed and as passionate as him.
But Friday's better-than-expected (GDP) figures won't help Mr Romney's campaign much - although they call it "discouraging news".
Two percent is not spectacular, but it is going in the right direction. But most people will vote on how they feel the economy is, not what some statistics point towards.
By now, people know what they think of the state of the economy. It is what - or who - could make it better. That is the question.
It is why, in these final days of campaigning, Mr Romney is attempting to make a much more positive case.
I doubt there will be much new in today's "major" economic speech - indeed it would be slightly incoherent if he did produce new ideas at this stage.
But his message is that he is a man with a plan, ready to take on the big job. One of his strategists told me he is not by nature a campaigner, but now as the big day grows closer he is much more focused on thinking about how he would do the job.
This is spin, of course, as are reports of the work he is doing with a team preparing for power (1 min 40 sec in).
But expect to hear Mr Romney sounding much more presidential in the final full week of campaigning.

This is the act when a man is receiving oral sex from a lady friend and he cums in her mouth. After doing this he holds her mouth shut, while simultaneously tickling her nose with a feather, making her sneeze his load out of her nose.

The Fantastic Films:Short Films and a Discussion with Bay Area International Children's Film Festival Co-founder Jim Capobianco
In honor of the 10th anniversary of the Bay Area International Children's Film Festival, join us for a lively discussion with BAICFF programmer, co-founder, and filmmaker Jim Capobianco. Jim will show some of the short films he has created independently and at Pixar. Fellow BAICFF co-founder, Shelley Trott, will lead a discussion with Jim on his 25-year career in animation and discuss what, in his opinion, makes a great short film. Audience participation is encouraged as we uncover the magic behind the scenes of some of our favorite short films. This is an event not to miss!
Jim Capobianco received the 2008 Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay for Ratatouille. He went on to write and direct the short film, "Your Friend The Rat," found on the Ratatouille DVD, winning the 2008 ASIFA-Hollywood Annie Award for short films. Jim followed YFtR up with directing the critically acclaimed end titles for Pixar's 2008 release Wall•E.
A graduate of California Institute of the Arts, Jim started in the story department at Walt Disney Feature Animation on The Lion King. After five years at Disney, Jim relocated to Pixar Animation Studios where he was influential on the stories of many of Pixar's films of the past 19 years, including Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo, UP and Inside Out. In 2009, Jim finished "Leonardo" his first independent film, now in the permanent collection of the MoMA NYC.
In addition to his work as a filmmaker, Jim co-created the Bay Area International Children's Film Festival now in its 10th year. Now with Aerial Contrivance Workshop, Jim is creating and producing in connection to Walt Disney Motion Pictures the new 2D animated sequence for Mary Poppins Returns.
Friday Tickets: $8.00 non-member/ Free for members
