With our stressful lives, it's not surprising that people get really into hobbies. It is a wonderful way to unwind. But, in order to truly enjoy your hobby, you need to know certain things. The following article offers guidance to make any hobby more fun.
Fishing is a great hobby to consider. Fishing is a hobby that never gets old. It has been practiced for many centuries. Patience is important with fishing, but when you land a big catch it can be really exciting. Either chow down on the fish or toss it back.
Try fishing out if you are looking for a relaxing hobby. Just find a good place to settle in and wait for the fish to bite. Make sure you can fish in particular spots or if it will require a permit. Fishing can get you a little peace from the day.
Sculpting is an enjoyable and relaxing hobby. Feeling clay in your hands and knowing you are creating a work of art is a great feeling. Sculpting is something best shared and tried with others. You can get in a group or a class that can show you the ropes, and you can also bring a friend along to assist you.
Photography is a great hobby, and it doesn't really cost that much anymore. If you already have a digital camera and perhaps a tripod, you can get started already. Keep in mind, you don't need to be very artistic to take great photos and reading a book or two can already turn you in a great photographer.
If you like to travel, collect a small item from each of your destinations. Perhaps you could collect spoons, wine or pottery pieces. No matter what you choose to collect, you will have a great set of reminders from your journeys.
For people who live in certain areas, caving is a fun hobby. Understand that you must be knowledgeable and follow all safety precautions when exploring caves. If you want to go spelunking in a deep, dark cave you should seek a knowledgeable guide.
Photography can be very fun to start as a hobby. It's a simple hobby that the whole family can enjoy. Try buying a digital camera, and give it to the kids for some interesting pics! You'll really be surprised at what comes from them. Everyone can take their turn using the camera. Later on you can admire their handiwork.
Horseback riding is fun and gets you outdoors. On horseback, you can enjoy off road trails, allowing you to find new animals and see hidden spots in the wilderness. You can become friends with your horse.
Remember safety when you are doing your hobby. Having so much fun can often make one forget about safety. Follow all safety rules pertaining to your hobby.
Get outside and start working on gardening. Some people see it as work, others love it. Plant some herbs, fruit and vegetables during the springtime, care for them and then check out the results. You will save on food costs and also enjoy the fruits of your own labor.
Keep hobby spaces clean and neat. This is essential when you work so that you know where each item is. It'll also make that hobby area as safe as possible. You would hate to injure yourself when participating in your hobby due to your laziness.
How about trying calligraphy? There isn't much needed to begin, and it becomes a lot of fun to move that pen all over the paper. You can either take a class or learn on your own. Whatever the case may be, you'll have a big appreciation for writing after you're done.
Identify colleagues or friends who share your hobbies and enjoy them together. Even if you only have time a few times each month, this helps you make time to enjoy your hobby. You will also find that your friendships are stronger, as a result.
Cooking Class
If you wish to get a small child into a hobby, think about what they love and use that to start looking. Dance classes are a good choice for a child who enjoys dancing, while a child who loves trains will surely love a model train set with books about trains.
You can do a hobby that you and your mother would enjoy. You can take a cooking class with someone. Neither of you have to be great cooks to benefit from a cooking class. Engage in healthy cooking competitions and enjoy learning new recipes. You can locate cooking classes near you by searching online.
Be certain you are stocked with all needed hobby supplies. You will have a difficult time completing things if you don't have the right equipment and may even endanger your well-being. Figure out what you need and get the right supplies.
Do not start a hobby that is too expensive. Many hobbies allow you to start off small and then work your way up. The same goes for things like collecting cars or deep sea fishing. There are hobbies that are expensive. Budget wisely, and use that to select what hobbies to take up.
One great hobby that can give you some extra income is making jewelry. Women are not the only ones who can take part in this hobby. Some of the biggest names in jewelry are men. Craft fairs, shows, etc. can be great venues to sell art. This particular hobby is not just fun but also a money maker.
A good hobby to have is gazing at stars. Star gazing is fun since it allows you to see space like you may never be able to otherwise. You'll really begin to contemplate your own existence. You just need an unlit area and a telescope.
How about you start blogging? Blogs are used for many different purposes. Some use a blog to get their business promoted while others use their blog to write their journals. Use it as a way to relax after you get home. You may find new friends and possibly earn some money if you learn how to use SEO practices to your benefit.
Remember to be safe when pursuing new hobbies. Make sure you carefully read directions of anything you are going to use. Keep your work area for your hobby clean and organized after you finish each session. You could even try to find a mentor so that you can learn the best practices on how to go about your hobby. When you are safe, you can enjoy your hobby for years.
Your hobby can be used to create a new social group in your area. Hold a social event for the people in your neighborhood to show their favorite hobbies. Talk to others about joining in, even if they are new at it. This helps hone your own talents, but builds a stronger community.
Before you do a hobby that's new, you need to get some research done first. All hobbies are not created equally. Some focus on creativity, which others are more action-oriented. Whatever the hobby, research it thoroughly so you know what you can expect.
Try baking as a family hobby. You can bake so many things for everyone to try. You can use the foods you bake as proper meals, and that is a good way to make sure your family eats more nutritionally as well.
Be extra careful if you've picked up cooking as a new hobby. If your clothes fit too loosely, they might ignite near the stove. Also, keep your hair tied back and wear an apron. Remember that cooking can be dangerous, so follow all safety precautions.
Switch up your hobbies regularly. There are times when a bit of variety can be good. When a hobby is no longer fun, it is time to put it aside for a little bit and try something else. It may be exactly the right solution.
Think of what you enjoy when you're looking for a hobby. If you have a tough time thinking of a hobby to get into, think about the topics you enjoy. For example, if you're a movie lover, perhaps a film club is a good idea.
Don't begin working on a hobby that costs you a lot just to begin doing it. You don't want to spend a lot of money only to realize you don't enjoy the hobby. In most cases, you will never be able to get back the amount of money you spent on the supplies.
A good hobby that may even get you some money is to start making jewelry. Not only women can enjoy this hobby. Men can make jewelry as well. You can get your things sold at art shows, craft fairs, or online if you wish. That is a great hobby that can make you money, too.
When trying to figure out what hobby to pursue, head out to the local library. The library offers books, multi-media information and classes on many hobbies. The books are free, so make use of this resource.
Change your hobbies regularly. Everyone needs a break — from their hobbies too. If you have reached your limit with a given hobby, you may want to go with a new one for a bit. That might just be what the doctor ordered.
If you wish to store some bikes in your garage without taking much space, you should get some hooks so you can hang them on the walls. Each tire should have a hook to itself, and it's better to hang the bikes upside down. This allows your family to enjoy cycling while keeping your garage space free.
If you enjoy it, you could make that hobby your career. Perhaps you would enjoy coaching a sport at which you excel. If you can create music, furniture or baked goods, you might enjoy sharing your talent with others.
If you love a certain hobby, think about making it your career. If you believe yourself to be an expert at a given activity, such as swimming, it might be possible to gain employment as a coach. You can also make beautiful items to sell or perform to showcase your musical talent.
Never hesitate to transform a hobby into a source of income. If you have a love for something, working hard will not seem as much of a toil. It's an excellent way of making money. Look for some methods on monetizing your hobbies that you wish to take time to do more of.
Give your hobbies a position of priority in your life. There are many reasons why you may have to miss a yoga class or cancel a fishing trip. It is also important to have a commitment to your hobby. Enjoy your hobby frequently.
Photography is an enjoyable and useful hobby to pursue. With the right gear and know how, you'll soon be taking amazing pictures. Not only will it impress friends and family, you can turn this into a good side business.
Get some pencils and a pad and you're set! You can apply yourself and learn tools for drawing certain objects or just sketch what you want. Drawing can help you relieve tension and express yourself artistically. It is also one of the few hobbies that can be worked on anywhere you like.
Boating is an awesome hobby. It allows you to enjoy the outdoors, go fishing and relax. Buying a boat is an option, and there are also many available for rent if you are not ready to make the investment.
Some hobbies can help improve your neighborhood or even the world. If you are kind, take up hobbies that can help others. Whether tutoring school children, creating knit hats for kids, or working at an animal shelter, there are many hobbies that may appeal to your generous nature.
As you can tell by reading this article, there were probably some aspects of hobbies that you did not know about. It is important to understand this if you want to make the most of your hobby. Use the advice in the article above to appreciate your hobby even more.
Are you looking for a new hobby to enjoy? If you don't have much money, you'll need a hobby that's cheap or free. Cooking is one hobby that will fit into that criteria. You already buy food to eat, so that won't add too much to your budget. Attempt to learn something new, like creating candy or learning to bake fresh bread. You may even be able to turn your hobby into a source of extra income.

Riding the Rails to the Palace
Wednesday was a gap day for non-Potterheads, such as myself and classmate Ruth, so we decided to ride the rails down to London for the day. For Americans unused to a system of high-speed, efficient rail, we were duly impressed, both with the train and the beautiful, rolling landscape that stretches out between Grantham and… Continue reading Riding the Rails to the Palace

King & Country - Various WWII releases
October 2013
For the past 15 to 20 years there has been one name within our hobby that has been synonymous with, and some would say defined, the matt WWII genre for collectors. I am of course talking about King & Country, yes you could argue that in recent years they have been given a �run for their� money by companies such as Figarti and First Legion who have also released some superb WWII figures and vehicles, but K&C were the pioneers and are still adding many superb sets every month to tempt collectors.

Sixteenth Sunday After Trinity
In the Name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.
This is the assurance which Jesus, the Prince of Life, has given to us mortals, (John 5. 24). After the Creator gave us being, the Father sent His Son into the world "that the world should be saved through Him." Life is the chief privilege of man, and it is the happiest hope of the believer that this life will endure forever. He knows and believes that the Son of God is sent to work this very thing, that through Him we might live eternally happy, in eternal glory and joy. This was the chief mission of Jesus, the chief subject of His discourses, in our text and elsewhere, and it should be the chief object of your careful attention, O man, if you would have a sure foundation for your hope of entering into the joy of eternal life. God has laid no other foundation than the redemption wrought by His Son, neither has He given any other means of attaining it than that set forth in the solemn words of Jesus, "Verily, verily, I say unto you" etc.
When this means is rightly used, it undoubtedly brings about and works in us true faith in God. This faith is described as a relying on God, especially in view of His infinite mercy in sending His Son in the fashion of a servant to fullfil our duties and to suffer the penalties for our sins. Jesus says concerning one who has such a faith that he has eternal life, and that the believer has received eternal life by passing from death to life. Here a foundation is laid for a blessed death, indeed, to the extent that the essential transformation which takes place in the death of a believer took place before, even in the very moment when, through faith in Jesus, he passed "from dead works to serve the living God." He already possesses the salvation which he expects to enjoy in a greater measure and undisturbedly after death. Jesus represents that as a consequence of this condition the believer will not enter into judgment, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment." The Master does not hereby annul the teaching of His apostle Paul, that "we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ." As the supreme judge of the world, Jesus merely exempts every believing soul from the judgment of condemnation, which has already been pronounced in the Word against those who continue in unbelief and in an unchanged mind, without the blessed fellowship that is in Jesus. Jesus says that the believer is so much the more safe from such condemnation, as he already possesses the salvation which shall, in the day of judgment, be pronounced upon him by grace. We do not, however, wish to proceed further in the consideration of this matter, until we have approached the seat of mercy and asked for the requisite divine help. "Our Father" etc.
1. The foundation is laid and the beginning is made; when one passes from spiritual death to spiritual life.
2. The completion is made in the passing from bodily death to the full enjoyment of the glory and joy of eternal life.
First Part.
We here note that the foundation of a blessed passing from death to life is laid, and the beginning thereof made, in the passing from spiritual death to spiritual life.
All men who by intentional wickedness are separated from God are in the Scriptures called dead, for their spiritual condition resembles the bodily condition of one that is dead. In the hour of death one's vision becomes darkened so that one cannot see even at bright midday; similarly a person who is separated from God is overwhelmed with blindness in spiritual matters so that he cannot, even in the clearest light of God's Word, judge of the things that pertain to his peace. In Eph. 4. 18, Paul describes those whom in chapter 2. 1 he calls spiritually dead, saying that their "understanding is darkened," and that they are "alienated from the life of God," because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart. Secure sinners are as void of feeling and emotion as the dead youth in our text on his bier, quite as unconcerned and careless about their future lot throughout the long and fearful eternity. As the youth was being borne out of the city where he had lived, nearer and nearer to his grave, so too, he who is dead in trespasses and sins is by his sins being led and brought farther and farther from God, nearer and nearer to the pit, to "the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone."
If Jesus had not met the funeral procession at Nain, the dead would have remained dead, and unless He sought and found a sinner where he goes on the paths of death, the sinner would never he awakened from his stupor. But Jesus approaches, He is moved with compassion, and in the Word He grasps the sinner's heart with His hand of grace. The threats and convictions of the law fill the sinner with anxiety concerning his condition and make him fearful of the end of his perverted life, but now he stops and rushes no longer heedlessly on into ungovernable sins.
The sorrow aroused by the law over the misery into which the sinner has plunged himself is increased when flooded by the light of the gospel, which illuminates the law and reminds the sinner of the blessings of God, and of the foolishness and ingratitude with which these have been used or abused. When the sinner thus in the gospel learns to understand what a merciful, gracious, and loving God he has offended and hated, then his sorrow becomes that of God's mind, approaching the character that God would have it to be. The sinner then departs from his former unrighteousness. He loathes it and, when he realizes his own weakness, he sighs for help out of the deep affliction into which he finds himself plunged. While thus calling upon the Lord, the sinner obtains a clearer insight into the gospel and learns that the help he so urgently needs is to be found in Christ. The Father draws the sinner's mind to consider the testimony which the prophets hear of Christ, and the Holy Spirit praises Jesus as great and indispensable for a sinner's salvation.
When such grace is not "turned into lasciviousness," nor is obstinately resisted, it confers a spark of courage, so that the sinner dares to hope in the mighty and merciful Saviour. God promises unconditionally, without limitation, to forgive those who have such a faith as He promises to confer. He thus puts courage into the heart of the sinner and enables him to apply the promise to himself. While this takes place in his heart, the Spirit of prayer arouses him to "name the name of the Lord" and by faith to "press on and apprehend Christ." The soul battles against doubt and unbelief and is finally victorious, being able to "know in whom he has believed," namely, the very Son of God, who has made payment for sins and for whose sake they are forgiven, according to the promises of God.
As the dead youth became bodily alive, when Jesus said to him, "Young man, I say unto thee, Arise," so the passing from spiritual death to spiritual life takes place when a person hears and obeys the summoning voice of Jesus in the word, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee." Then the "Sun of Righteousness arises with healing in His wings," for God fulfills the promises in which the soul has trusted. God grants the believer a share in the merits of the Mediator on whom he relies, and "the blood of Christ cleanses the conscience from dead works." God forgives our sins for the sake of the bloody atonement of Jesus and, with the comfort of the Holy Spirit, He takes away the fear of death with which our conscience had been grievously troubled. Jesus, who is Life itself, then unites with that soul; but where Life dwells, there can be no death. The believer can say with Paul, "I live, and yet no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." By means of such union with Christ a person becomes united with the Holy Trinity and with other believers, even as Jesus prayed, "That they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me." What no law can accomplish, namely, to make the heart alive with love to God and with pleasure in His commandments, this the Holy Spirit, granted to the believer, performs, pouring God's love into such an heart. A person experiencing this love as well as love for all men, and especially for all that believe, can make the certain inference which John made, "We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren."
Such a passing from spiritual death is the beginning and basis of a person's passing from temporal death into eternal life. In general the teaching of Jesus tends to establish, "That whosoever believeth shall he saved," but more especially Jesus derives from the true faith and from eternal life the doctrine that a blessed passing over takes place at the moment of bodily death. At the grave of Lazarus Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live." In the new birth the beginning is made of everything that pertains to the privileges, glory, and blessedness of eternal life. The sinful depravity of a believer could not be entirely eradicated in death, unless it had been subdued and had lost its power when the new heart was created in him. The glory which Paul says is to be revealed in a child of God after death is, according to David, already possessed by the true believers, indeed has been ever since they were adopted to be sons and daughters of God. It is concerning the congregation of believers that David sings,
"The king's daughter within is all glorious;
Her clothing is inwrought with gold."
It is from this childhood by faith that Paul derives the right to inherit the glory of eternal life. He says, "If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may he also glorified with him." God's presence, which constitutes the eternal glory of the blessed, began when the Father and the Son came and took their abode with them, when they began to "love Jesus and to keep his word." Although they have here walked in an imperfect knowledge of faith, they have nevertheless enjoyed "the excellency of the knowledge of Christ," by faith derived from the Word, and this has been a beginning and a preparation for the perfect knowledge in the higher life. Comparing these different degrees of knowledge, Paul calls the former the rudiments of learning appertaining to children, which precedes the mature, manly knowledge to be obtained when we shall gloriously see God in the land of the living.
Second Part.
A Blessed Passing from Bodily Death to Eternal Life.
When the passing from spiritual death to spiritual life has taken place, then, if we are still in that condition, the passing to eternal life takes place whenever bodily death overtakes us. If Christ is our life, we cannot lose anything when we die. Death separates our soul from the body, but it cannot separate us from Christ. The believer passes out from this life through death and enters immediately "into the joy of the Lord." A person justified is, then, in no danger of suffering any loss in death. He is prepared to die, and his death will be a blessed one, whenever the Lord shall call him.
God has the control over life and death, but He does not call a person away as soon as he is prepared for a blessed death. There are other matters for which God would use us, before He permits death to come. God wants to use us in His service wherever He is pleased to place us. He wants to try us in the faith, increase our love, and teach us to deny our willfulness and to "bear the cross after Jesus."
When God considers a person mature and approved, this person may go and receive his crown. This is the end which James has in view for the life of a person converted, "When he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life." When a pardoned sinner has, as "God's husbandry," like the seed in the earth, endured many changes of refreshing grace and of the drought of temptation until he is mature; "When the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle," and brings home a ripe sheaf of wheat in due time. This time — God's time — does not always seem to us to be the due time. The widow of Nain could assuredly not feel that her son was called away in due season, unless her mind was duly enlightened. Some ripen rapidly, they speedily run their course and finish it, attaining their goal in a short time: even before they have left the years of youth.
The passing away takes place either "violently and by unusual accidents, or usually by sickness, the body becoming in the guidance of God unfit to longer harbor the soul. The eyes no longer see the light. The ears no longer hear the sobs of their friends and relatives. The senses cease to function, and the soul departs from its workhouse. During this transformation there often appears to be much suffering. Indeed, there is some pain in connection with the separation of the soul from the body; but inasmuch as Jesus "has tasted death for every man" and swallowed up its bitterness, He fulfills upon every believer the promise He has given, "If a man keep my word, he shall never taste death." The comfort of the Holy Spirit robs death of its bitterness, and the peace of God which the believer perceives is a shield against the pains of death.
The soul passes out from the body and from all the misery to which it has been subjected while dwelling there, and it becomes glorified and is escorted by angels to heaven, where joy immediately begins. The evil desires are quenched and all evil thoughts disappear. With shame and indignation Satan sees the soul escape forever from his assaults. The soul leaves the turmoil of the world by which it has been surrounded. The glory of God even previously dwelling in the soul evolves and exalts the soul to a nobility which surpasses everything that "has entered into the heart of man." The soul now tastes the sweetness of God's love, of which it has previously tasted merely a few drops, and it is filled with an indescribable comfort and joy. The holy angels who have ministered to it during the pilgrimage of grace, though in an invisible manner, now accompany it on its ascension to heaven, being both companions and guides. Upon entering heaven, the soul is greeted by the friends which it had acquired by its stewardship and distribution of earthly goods among fellow-believers on the earth. It finds a room in the Father's house, the place provided in the kingdom of His Son. Here it joins the hosts of thousands upon thousands surrounding the throne, praising God and the Lamb for the mercy received during life in the realms of time, and for the salvation now granted and eternally enjoyed.
Finally, "at the end of the days," even the body shall arise glorified from the earth and stand before the judgment seat of Christ, thence, united with the soul; to enter into the kingdom of heaven and to enjoy a glory augmented by the reunion of the body and the soul. As Jesus raised up the widow's son, so He shall also in the last day raise up those who have believed on Him. Then shall the body ascend from the earth, not with the corruptible elements of which it was composed in life, nor with the lowly character in which it was laid in the grave, but with incorruptible glory and power. Even as the whole man has been redeemed by Christ and the whole man has been the temple of God, so the whole man, body and soul, may then enter into eternal life. We may then with glorified eyes, face to face, behold Him whom we have believed and loved, though we did not see Him. Our body may then in a worthy manner take part in the gladness of the soul and "the pleasures forevermore in the right hand of God." The tongue shall then with unutterable words praise Jesus, who shall have "fashioned anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of His glory," and "shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of the Father."
I herewith close the sermon of a probationer, delivered at my request and with the approval of my superiors. This worthy congregation has again been given an opportunity to prove the measure of grace given to me. I have presented a blessed translation from death to life. I have first shown that the beginning and foundation of this passing from death to life are made in the passing from spiritual death to spiritual life. I have next shown that the completion takes place in the passing from temporal death to a full enjoyment of the glory and joy of eternal life.
We are all strangers, travelers, and pilgrims. We know that we must depart from this life, and there surely is no one who does not in the hour of death wish for a blessed passing into eternal life. God is my witness, how heartily I wish all of you this good fortune; but you must search the Scriptures and find out whether you have experienced the translation first described, it you have gone out of the camp, away from the service of sin and Satan, if you have passed over to the camp of Jesus and borne His reproach, to be his possession, to live according to His commandments, and not after your own good pleasure nor according to the doctrines of men. If this has not taken place, you are in the greatest danger, for if bodily death overtakes you in this condition, you will pass from spiritual to eternal death. If you perceive that this is your condition, and if you nevertheless find that you can remain unconcerned in view of your misery, alas, pray God to awaken you from your spiritual stupor. He will certainly do this, if you use His Word diligently.
If you have been enlightened by the law to know your wretchedness, then you may be assured that the beginning toward a passing from spiritual death consists in this very thing, that you feel as though you were spiritually dead, and that the completion is effected when the Holy Spirit has persuaded you to believe that your sins, according to God's promises, are forgiven. You must then willingly abandon your own efforts, your own works and deeds, and put your trust in the merits and suffering of Jesus in your behalf.
If and when you have done this, you may in the midst of adversities comfort yourself with the thought in which the children of the world (though without foundation) are wont to take comfort, namely that death is nothing but a transition. Then, my brethren, we may look out over the fields which are yet inshrouded with darkness toward a better life, glimpses of which are revealed in the Word, and we may in this way be sustained in a longing for a blessed passing from death to life. Amen.

Invisalign® is a great new alternative to metal braces. Using a series of invisible plastic trays created just for you, Invisalign gently shifts your teeth into place. Simply pop in a new set of trays every two weeks and watch your smile transform.
We are a certified Invisalign provider!
Not all providers are the same. Some doctors treat a few Invisalign patients. Only doctors with a lot of treatment experience can be certified providers – like us! Dr. Cook has been certified since 2002.
Can I get Invisalign through my dentist?
Trust your Invisalign to a Board Certified Orthodontist, not a general practitioner. General dentists take a six-hour weekend course on orthodontics and then begin treating cases. Orthodontists, on the other hand, have 2.5 – 3 years of training after dental school focused on orthodontics…and it's all they do!
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a series of removable plastic trays. These trays are made using advanced 3D technology. Dr. Cook will make the trays series to gradually shift your teeth. Each set of trays is worn for about two weeks. Average total treatment is 9-18 months.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
The Invisalign system is a revolutionary treatment. Unfortunately, it has limits and can't fix certain problems. Invisalign has improved since it first came out, and is now able to treat more complex movements than initially! To see if you are a candidate, schedule a complimentary consultation today. Adults can also refer to the online Self-Assessment Tool.
What is the treatment process?
The first step is a consultation with your orthodontist. During the consultation, you and your doctor will determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. Once you are chosen as a patient, your doctor will plan your treatment. Your doctor will take x-rays, pictures, and impressions of your teeth. These models will be used to make a 3D image of your teeth and jaw. Based on your model and treatment plan, a series of custom trays will be created. Your trays will change every two weeks, with checkups every six weeks.
How long does treatment take?
Every smile is different, but the average treatment time for adults is one year. The average number of trays worn is 18-30. With no metal or wires, you spend less time in your doctor's office. For best results, trays should be worn 20-22 hour every day.
How do Invisalign trays feel?
Invisalign trays are made of a smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic. You can remove the trays to eat, drink, brush, and floss. You can keep eating all of the foods you love without any restrictions. For those who love sports, Invisalign trays work without sharp brackets cutting your mouth. If you need to wear a mouth guard, simply remove your trays and pop them back in when you're done! Invisalign also doesn't get in the way of music instruments.
Do Invisalign trays get dirty?
Invisalign trays are easy to clean. Simply brush and rinse them in lukewarm water, or use the easy Invisalign cleaning kit.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of treatment varies. Cost depends on what issues need correcting, the length of treatment, and your treatment plan. If your dental plan covers orthodontic treatment, it may also cover Invisalign. Kevin Cook Orthodontics wants everyone to have their perfect smile, so we work to make Invisalign affordable for everyone.

The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is here!
It's back – one of Australia's biggest and most anticipated events, proudly bringing people from all corners of the world together to celebrate the LGBTQI community. 70,000 people will stand among us to witness the colourful, energetic, world-famous Mardi Gras Parade this weekend – and we can't wait.
Whether you're extremely passionate about Mardi Gras or a newbie to the event, it's hard to ignore all of the festivities – so get stuck in! Embrace the craziness – from dazzling dancers and divas in drag to confetti explosions and glitzed up ATMs, a whole lot of fun is coming our way!
One important thing to remember is that Mardi Gras wasn't always a fabulous, fun-filled parade. We must acknowledge its inspiring, not-so-colourful 39 year history. The opposition it faced when it began in comparison to today's international recognition, acceptance and celebration is a true testament to those who bravely marched and fought for their rights, and how far society has come to accepting diversity and difference.
Mardi Gras has different meanings for different people, but the key message has remained the same for decades – just be you.
We chatted to TAFE NSW students and staff to find out, in a sentence or two, what Mardi Gras means to them personally – here's what we got (the good and the bad).
"I think Mardi Gras means having fun and accepting being different" – Zoe, floristry student
"A celebration. Bringing tourism to Sydney for all the right reasons" – Jeff, teacher at TAFE NSW
"My friends and I are part of the LGBT community and think it's fantastic. I'm really grateful to have constant exposure to it all, the festival itself is amazing" – Spencer, floristry student
"Mardi Gras is the one night of the year that I feel I can express myself with a collective of people that accepts me for who I am. I've been a part of this event for more than 20 years and it's great to be part of such a great community who celebrate together and educate the wider population on some of the issues that are faced by people in this community. It is a wonderful opportunity for our Gay, Lesbian, Queer, Transgender and everyone else to be part of a unique event that celebrates equality and diversity!" – Ant, Change Manager at TAFE NSW
"I think it's lost its main objective. When it first started in 1978 it was all about equal rights, a protest. I've danced on and off at the Mardi Gras aftershows for 17 years, don't get me wrong, I freaking loved it! But every year I think it's becoming more of an excuse to get drunk and party more than anything" – event management student
I think it's gone a little off topic and lost the focus on its values. It's all become very commercialised – Kate, business student
Mardi Gras is all about raising awareness. I love that it's a celebration that everyone can get involved it – even all the big organisations, police and other government agencies get involved – it's great fun. Everyone's just in the best mood" – Geraldine, Social Media Officer at TAFE NSW
So camp and so fun, a big colourful excuse to party and I love it! – Dan, fashion student
"Fun, dancing, happiness. Everybody's being themselves. Barriers come down and there's no judgement. It's a really really cool festival, and the GAYTM's!" – Catrin, Customer Engagement Director at TAFE NSW
There you have it – Mardi Gras has different meanings for everyone. Either way, we're all celebrating!
If you're keen to catch the other festivities happening all weekend for Mardi Gras, here are some cool events to get involved in:
World Square Disco Shopping – Fri 3 March
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Take a break from spending your cash, and enjoy the free music and performances from some of Sydney's best Drag Queens. You'll be dancing the whole way home.

One note, if an alpha dog bothers Roscoe, Roscoe submits quickly. But, as soon as that dog goes to sleep or turns its back, Roscoe pees on him or her. Sometimes urine is a quiet rebellion, a kind of conscientious objector's way to fight back without fighting.
If you name your dog Dingy, expect it to pay you back at some point.
SUBJECT: Our pug peed on my husband!
Has this happened to any of you before? This is a strange one....We
have two pugs--one fawn and one black one. The black one, Dingy who
is 8 months is a character! Well, my husband was doing something,
not paying attention to her and she was not happy about that! She
hopped on his lap and peed! I wouldn't have believed it if I was
there to witness it myself. She's never done this before, so we are
hoping this isn't a trend! My husband and I were upset at the time,
but we laugh about it now. Any thought?
I am anxious to hear other opinions but I believe your pug
baby, Dingy, was either showing dominance over your husband
or by (how odd this may seem) marking her territory by
saying your mine. In an odd kind of way, Dingy was paying
him a compliment. I bet she really likes him!!! Hah!!!
Pug hugs,
Calvin has peed on my leg a few times, always when I'm wearing jeans
(but I usually wear jeans) and always in front of other people (for
maximum embarrassment). I think it's probably a "this ape is mine"
thing. ;-)
our other pug, when he was about 1 or 2 years old, would 'mark' us especially my
dad when they were supposed to be out walking and my dad had to stop and
speak with someone about business; next thing, the dog would up his leg and
wet on my dad! He did this several times to my dad and once to my mom. I don't
remember him doing this to me. Someone told us then that this was his way of
'marking' his territory.
Maybe she just had to go really bad and was mad that no one noticed she needed to go out. So she just decided to sit in a lap but wasn't able to hold it any more. I have had a pug that needed to pee and I missed the hint so she just started going You could tell that she didn't mean too and was very embarrassed about the whole thing.
You know, I think your pug was just disgusted with
your husband and thought "what the heck, I'll pee on
him! That will get his attention!" LOL! I spend a lot
of time wondering what is going on in my pugs' minds.

It's no secret that the United States is known to be one of the more prudish countries, especially when compared to some its more free-spirited European counterparts. However, some may be surprised to learn (particularly those that are proud to be labeled prudes) that our prudish attitude seems to be doing much more harm than good.
Countries that embrace the types of attitudes towards sexuality that conservatives detest, seem to be much less sexually dysfunctional than the United States. In fact there appears to be a direct correlation to our restricted sexuality and our extremely high rates of teenage pregnancy, sexuality transmitted diseases, and abortion.
While the Lifestyle is all about sexual openness, unfortunately not everyone is as tolerant of the idea of sexual freedom. There are several European countries that are arguably much more progressive when it comes to their sexual attitudes than we are here in the states.
Countries like Spain, Germany, France and Switzerland all boast much more comprehensive sexual education than us. If you want to make a strong case for sexual liberalism, one of the most obvious examples is the Netherlands. Let's take a look at what the Dutch are doing differently.
The Netherlands is known for being extremely pro-sex. With nude beaches abound, a world famous red light district, and a thorough sex ed program, there's surely no doubt that they are more sexually liberal than the land of the free and home of the brave. The Netherlands was also the first country in the entire world to legalize gay marriage.
So how do the oversexed Dutch compare to Americans when it comes to teen pregnancy? The United Nations reported that in 2009 the USA boasted a teen birth rate of 39.1 per 1000, compared to a measly 5.3 per 1000 in the Netherlands. The abortion rate in the USA was also reported to be nearly double of that in the Netherlands, and our instances of adults living with HIV or AIDs compared to them – triple. I generally take statistics with a grain of salt, but these figures are pretty shocking. We're doing something wrong.
America needs to learn from countries that have discovered that being more restrictive actually hurts more than helps. I believe that a much more comprehensive sex ed program would be a huge step in the right direction. We need to educate our children, and it should be done from an early age. We're living in a country that sends very mixed messages to our youth. Sex is often demonized by the church, glorified by Hollywood, and misrepresented by pornography. In many cases American children learn more about sex from their equally uneducated peers, instead of from their parents and educators. We need to start taking steps in the right direction, and we need to do it soon.

By Kevin Stoda
Outside of European tradition, multiple calendars have been in vogue and practice through-out the millennia.
This thought comes to mind as Taiwan is planning and carrying out many 100-year celebrations due to its "Republic of China Calendar". According to Taiwanese lore, "The ROC was founded by the Kuomintang (KMT) on Jan 1, 1912, after party founder Sun Yat-sen orchestrated a series of revolts that overthrew the Qing dynasty in the winter of 1911. It has become synonymous with Taiwan since the KMT's exodus to the island after losing a civil war on the Chinese mainland to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)."
Since I moved to Taiwan late last August, I have observed that the country runs on three calendars simultaneously. There is the aforementioned "Republic of China Calendar". (By the way, this is the more controversial calendar in Taiwan and East Asia.) It is called the Minguo calendar.
Officially, it should be said that " [t]he Republic of China uses two official calendars: the Gregorian calendar, and the Minguo calendar. The latter numbers years starting from 1911, the year of the founding of the Republic of China.
That is, on the one hand, the politicians and cultural leaders of Taiwan are busy gearing up for this big centennial. Mean" [w]hile [other] scholars and politicians are deadlocked in a debate on whether the centenary is politically correct," [Nevertheless,] there is no doubt that even though the past 400 years were dominated by a succession of colonial administrations, changes in the recent 100 years have been the most substantial and dramatic for Taiwan and its people."
The third calendar, which remains unofficial in Taiwan, but is followed openly by many peoples of Chinese descent in East Asia, is the so-called Chinese Calendar. This is a semi-Lunar Calendar.
" Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2010 "Chinese Year" 4708, 4707, or 4647."
For the last 4 or more centuries, the 12th month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar has been set to end around the first week (or so) of February , i.e. according to the Western or Gregorian Calendars. " Chinese New Year [celebration] is the longest and most important festivity in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most." In Taiwan the festivities usually last about 7 days. Some other locations celebrate the Chinese New Year several days longer."

The increasing number of people using male enhancement penis pumps is somewhat surprising especially because these devices didn't actually have this kind of reputation ever. Pumps were considered complex and dangerous as people thought that the vacuum technology is absolutely uncontrollable. Most probably the innovations from some of the current brands helped people change the perceptions about pump and see them in a more positive way. In fact, many men believe that pumps are even better than other methods of enlargement including pills, creams, oils and extenders. Here are some of the reasons that you might also like to consider.

Men's Sex Coffee and Tea All of Your Questions Answered
Did you know that more than 50 percent of the people in the US drink coffee every single day? The average per person in the States is 3.1 cups of coffee per day, the results of a poll show.
Coffee is a great beverage but it has the potential to become even more enjoyable and practical. Men's sex coffee and tea can really add a new dimension to the coffee-making ritual.
Sex Coffee? What is It?
Men's sex coffee and tea products combine delicious instant coffee or tea with natural aphrodisiacs. This way, people can enjoy their favorite drink while simultaneously addressing a sexual problem.
Natural aphrodisiacs have been used for centuries and contemporary clinical studies confirm the fact that plant extracts can resolve efficiently a medley of health conditions.
Coffee that is part of the formula increases the feeling of energy, which is also important for a satisfactory bedroom session. This way, the product addresses several needs. In addition, it tastes delicious, a fact that has made it increase its popularity tremendously.
Does It Work?
Most blends of high quality men's sex coffee and tea contain all-natural extracts.
The most common natural aphrodisiacs that are used in the production of men's sex coffee and tea include goji berry, epimedium or horny goat weed, ginseng and kidney grass.
Epimedium is frequently named natural Viagra because of its ability to address male reproductive problems.

In addition, they increase testosterone production which is necessary for success in one's love life.

People that are traditionally advised to avoid coffee and caffeinated products should refrain from purchasing these supplements because they do contain instant coffee. Individuals that are experiencing such problems can choose another type of natural enhancement product.
Men's sex coffee and tea products are both safe and efficient. If you are still uncertain, purchase from a website that has a money-back guarantee policy. This is the best way to make sure that you have nothing to lose and that you are getting all the benefits without the risk.
The Possibility Of Reaction Between Cialis 20mg Pills And Food Or Alcohol
The effective and long-term erectile dysfunction treatment wasn't easy as it now is and the improved scenario owes a great deal to Cialis, a prescription impotence treatment medication introduced in 2003. Prior to introduction of the medication there were only two options that could be administered orally – Viagra and Levitra. The only problem with these two medications is that they are capable of solving the erection problem not more than 5 hours. As a person is allowed to take these medications not more than once within 24 hours duration, with Viagra and Levitra, he doesn't have any other option than to plan his sex life. A recent survey record has suggested that most men with erectile dysfunction actually look forward to enjoy their sex lives normally, not by planning. The long-term action of Cialis pills can make it less necessary to schedule when a person has sex.
Cialis is available in three different dosage strengths – 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg – providing options for men with varying degrees of erectile dysfunction. Each Cialis pill contains tadalafil as an active component. This component functions as an inhibitor of the PDE5 enzyme and remains active in a user's physical system for 36 hours at a stretch. As long as the medication remains active in a man's physical system, it keeps the penile arteries open so that extra blood can enter the penis whenever the man is sexually excited. It means a Cialis user not only treats erectile dysfunction successfully but also receives the opportunity to respond more spontaneously to sexual stimulation.
However, the treatment of ED with Cialis 20mg pills may not be recommended to men with underlying health conditions like high blood sugar, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and renal dysfunction. If a man is taking any medication that contains nitrate components he should find an alternative way to take care of his erectile problem as the combination of Cialis 20mg pills and nitrate can be dangerous. Men, who are allergic to any component of the medication or recently (in past 6 months) have recovered from stroke or heart attack, aren't advised to use this pill. So, before you opt for this medication, discuss your complete medical history with your physician to help them make the best decision for your condition. If after taking the medication you feel dizzy, nauseate, tingling sensation in the chest or numbness in the hands, legs or any other part of your body, call for medical assistance immediately.
Unlike other impotence treatment medications that need to be taken orally, Cialis 20mg pills are clinically proven as safe if they are taken with out without food and alcohol. Though there is no medically approved evidence that food or alcohol reacts negatively with Viagra or Levitra, physicians generally advise men not to take these together. However, if you consume too much of alcohol (more than five units), a person may feel dizzy or his heart rhythm can be slower. If you are interested in buying genuine Cialis pill, you can do so from .
Pornography is The Crack Cocaine of Sex Addiction
Pornography is the Crack Cocaine of Sex Addiction by Jeffrey P. Ray LMHC, CAP, CSATPornography has long been practiced widely by people of different ages, young and old, married and unmarried. Pornography entails the act of portraying and viewing unequivocal sexual subject matter mainly nude bodies, with the main focus of achieving sexual excitement, as well as erotic satisfaction. Pornography is a subject that has received a lot of controversial feedback within the therapy community and media. Some Pro-Pornography supporters believe that it can improve an individual's sexual life whereas, in my professional opinion, Pornography is the complete destruction of one's soul; Pornography is the crack cocaine of sex addiction. In this article, pornography, with regard to sex addiction, is viewed as a negative entity in married or unmarried relationships when one partner is addicted to sex.
A marriage is an institution that is based on the premise of two partners growing together in relational intimacy through a sexual and non-sexual,communicative relationship. In my professional opinion as a Sex Therapist for over 18 years, anything that brings about a negative effect in intimacy between a husband and a wife is a problem, and pornography is not a positive substance that a sexually addicted person should surround themselves with. Throughout my career as a Sex Therapist and Substance Abuse Counselor, I have witnessed pornography creating many tribulations in marriages. Often times, pornography can become a contributing factor of divorce, in Palm Beach County, Florida. This is especially true when one indiviual in the relationship (in most cases, the husband) is addicted to sex.
From my experience with sexually addicted individuals, pornography makes sex selfish and a self-centered negative aspect that is harmful to any relationship or marriage. When sexual addicts become involved in viewing and engaging in pornography, the result, with regard to the relationship, can lead to destroying true intimacy. True intimacy will be impossible to achieve within the relationship. I have also seen pornography isolating a person from his/her spouse and family. This is due to the married partner rarely measuring up to the fantasy presented in pornography. In my opinion, pornography is like crack cocaine for a sex addict. The more you do, watch and engage in pornography, the more intense the craving and the harder it becomes to satisfy the addict. Pornography leads to sex addiction. I have also witnessed pornography increase the propensity of criminals to commit sex crimes. The crimes of dangerous offenders such as rapists and child molesters tend to re-offend, as well when this negative element is in their life.
Pornography in MarriageFrom my experience in the field of sex addiction and sex therapy, a couple's intimacy reduces the urge to seek solace in pornographic material. To maintain true intimacy, there must be a need for the husband and wife to nurture their love, so their sexual relationship prospers day by day; avoiding any chances of straying and infidelity. When both spouses work together to achieve intimacy honestly and without fear, there is a tendency to strengthen the relationship, commitment and hence, intimacy. As a Licensed Sex Therapist in Palm Beach County, Florida I advise and counsel couples on learning to think of their marriage as a prestigious asset that should be safeguarded; working hand in hand to overcome pornography related problems, intimacy issues and sex addiction through trust, faith and self-love. Seeking pornography in a marriage destroys intimacy and is the crack cocaine of sex addiction.
Pornography is a negative and often, destructive element to a relationship and marriage. If you or your married partner engage in pornography and need help with sex addiction, intimacy issues or infidelity issues, call me, Jeff Ray, LMHC at, (561) 707.6591 to schedule an appointment.I am here to help you.

Readers Interview: Sanjaye (Mauritius)
In order to create an online platform to exchange information between our readers, we've started with interviews with our readers. They all work in sports, and therefore have experience to share with all of us. Name: Sanjaye Goboodun Country: Mauritius Function within your sport organization: 1st Vice President NOC Mauritius President National Olympic Academy Co Chair Sport & Environment Commission Secretary Mauritius Badminton Association Current employer: Chemical Engineer Most practiced sports in Mauritius: Football 1.How did you come involved in your sport organization, and what kind of tasks/functions do you have? Well I started my sport life as a badminton athlete. Had to stop sport career due to academic studies and joined in again as technical official and administrator. Afterwards through various stages I got elected in the National Olympic Committee (NOC). Within the badminton association I have to look over the secretarial aspects of the board meetings and office duties. At the NOC I am mainly responsible for promotion of Olympic values throughout our sporting realm. 2. What is the biggest challenge you currently have? Our biggest challenge here is to provide athletes the needed environment for them to prosper. It is not always easy to have all complementary requirements that the sport organization /athletes need to succeed. There will always be some missing links and we, as administrators, have to manage with what we have and make thing happens. 3. People often underestimate being a volunteer working in sports management. What do you think are the most important characteristics for a volunteer responsible for sports administration? I firmly believe that the most important aspect for us volunteers is to self questioned our commitment taken towards our sport organization. Voluntarism is not imposed. It is a choice and in doing so we have to be committed. It doesn't take great men or women to do great things, just those who are greatly dedicated to doing them! 4. Does your sport organization make use of facebook, social media and websites ? Unfortunately use of social media or websites is quite limited here in Mauritius. It's not that we don't have the necessary devices or know-how but we still need to be more organized, structured and professional in introducing these tools as a means of disseminating information and communication with our stakeholders. 5. Do you have any favorite sport management resources (books, films, magazines or websites?) Resources and community of practice developed through the Olympic Solidarity MEMOS study (Executive...
28 Rules
We all have experienced Murphy's Law in our sports organization. You have either a big sport competition, seminar or trip, and a small thing happens, and sets off a whole chain of other problems and obstacles. I personally do not believe in superstition, but I have mentioned "Murphy Law" in the past on numerous occasions. The best way to explain this law is like "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong". Well, recently I listened to a presentation of Peter Diamandis, who does not believe in such a law. In fact, he wrote 28 Rules who are too good not to share. Read everyone of them, and just remember them next time you fall into a negative spiral. If anything can go wrong, Fix It!!… to hell with Murphy! When given a choice… take both!! Multiple projects lead to multiple successes. Start at the top, then work your way up. Do it by the book… but be the author! When forced to compromise, ask for more. If you can't win, change the rules. If you can't change the rules, then ignore them. Perfection is not optional. When faced without a challenge, make one. "No" simply means begin again at one level higher. Don't walk when you can run. When in doubt: THINK! Patience is a virtue, but persistence to the point of success is a blessing. The squeaky wheel gets replaced. The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live. The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself! The ratio of something to nothing is infinite. You get what you incentivize. If you think it is impossible, then it is… for you. An expert is someone who can tell you exactly how it can't be done. The day before something is a breakthrough, it's a crazy idea. If it were easy it would have been done already. Without a target you'll miss it every time. Fail early, fail often, fail forward! If you can't measure it, you can't improve it. The world's most precious resource is the persistent and passionate human mind. Bureaucracy is an obstacle to conquer with persistence, confidence and a bulldozer when necessary. Copyright, 1986, 2009, Peter H. Diamandis, All Rights...
Sports Illustrated winner Kids of the year 2012
I normally don't pay so much attention to the nomination of the Sports Illustrated prizes of the year, as they normally go to the best playing basketball player, baseball player or other multimillionaire athlete. For last year it seemed to be the same, as Lebron James was named the winner. He didn't agree though, and said that the brothers Conner and Cayden Long, deserved this title more than anybody. After seeing this video, I am sure that you'll agree. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Lax4zFFoA...
The biggest sportmanagement mistake in small organizations
I am sure that you recognize this: A motivated group of people, most of the time headed by an amateur coach (=passionate sports lover), who runs a sports organization like a club, an after-school program or a community sports project. It always starts with just having fun, and then suddenly you want to enter a competition, travel abroad with your athletes, or perhaps affiliate to a national governing body to become eligible for funding. You then realize that you need to have your documents (constitution, member administration, strategic plan) in order, and operate like a 'real' organization. The stress is reaching higher levels, because obviously there is a deadline (to travel, to enter a competition or to send your application for subsidy). So what do you do? What I see happening all the time, is that people reach to former athletes in that same sport. Athletes are asked to get on board, and assume the position of president, secretary or worst case the treasurer. "It's like asking a car mechanic to get in the board of a racecar team" I am sure that majority of the car mechanics (with all respect) do not have a clue of management. The fact that a former athlete had a good career on the field, does not mean that he/she has the ability to work with numbers, think strategically or do the marketing of your sports organization. It would be of course tremendous if you can get an athlete who also have the most important characteristics of a sports administrator, but what are the chances? There is one situation though, where it would be excellent to have a former athlete in your team. Situations where you need (public) attention for your sports or event, are ideal to attract former athletes. So you are not using any of his/her theoretical knowledge, but you are benefitting from his already established positive image. I consider this more as a temporary task, than a longterm decision in favor or the growth of your sports organization. What do you think? Do you see any other big mistakes in sports management? I would appreciate it if you could share them in the comment section...
Make your goals S.M.A.R.T !
If you are part of a sport organization, you are probably participating in meetings. I want to ask you to analyze the next couple of meetings you attend, and count the number of ideas that are being brought forward. We all have ideas about how the development of our athlete, team, club, association or federation should take place, but one idea is definitely better than the other. Goals often start with brainstorming. This is not always necessary, but it stimulates the interaction between your colleagues. Basically there is only one rule with brainstorming, and that is that as long as everybody stays within the topic "there are no limitations to the ideas". You just shoot off any idea, and do not allow small thinking taking over. It is fun, and one impossible idea will lead to another, which may seem more realistic to achieve. But what is next? Your sports organization has a good idea, but how do you make it really happen? What happens a lot is that a commission is installed to realize the goal or project. But then people get busy with their daily lives, don't have the time for this idea or perhaps blame others for not having followed up on the goal…..does this looks familiar? In my opinion this is lack of making the goals S.M.A.R.T. ( introduced by G. T. Doran 1981) SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-sensitive. I will explain SMART goals with the example of a sport organization aiming to get a sponsor. Don't make the common mistake by asking a student to make a marketing plan, or start sending sponsor requests immediately! My advice to you is to start asking yourself the following questions: Is your goal SPECIFIC? What do you want to accomplish with a sponsor? What kind of sponsor do you want. Do you only aim for financial sponsoring, or would Value in Kind, give you the same benefits? What kind of business areas will you target for this sponsor and why? If you have specific answers on these questions you can move to the next aspect. Is your goal MEASURABLE? If you do not make your goal measurable, you will never know whether you are making progress towards the successful completion of your goal. What sponsor budget are you aiming for? Would you also take two smaller sponsors for 50% of the budget? How big/popular should the sponsoring organization be? Regional, national or international...

10 Management lessons from the Olympics
During the beginning of August I attended the Olympic Games in London, which were my second Olympics. My first experience were four years ago in Beijing (China), which ended like a nightmare as our best athlete was disqualified on the 200m, and therefore lost his silver medal. After a week he got the medal from the USA runner who didn't feel that he deserved the medal. If you want to know more about this story you can watch this short video. It is an experience that I will never forget in my life. Obviously there are millions invested in the Games, and as such it is one of the most professional events that you'll ever see. My attendance at the London Games gave me the possibility to: analyze different aspects of the Olympic Games and compare it with other (inter)national events that I attended as part of my profession. Looking back I would like to share the following 10 points, which are valuable for any sport organization to think about. 1. Re-evaluate your logo You can divide the people taking pictures during the Olympics in three general groups: it is either with an athlete during a competition it is standing next to the Olympic Rings I was wondering what exactly the reason is for people to take pictures with the brand. They were definitely not taking pictures with the Coca-Cola or McDonalds logos, so that got me thinking! The following reasons are possible: People want to have proof that they were really at the Olympics People identify with the brand and the Olympic philosophy The scarcity of the visibility of the rings gives the Olympic logo more value compared to other logos Without really knowing the reason, it is a fact that the rings are one of the most recognized brands in the world. At the Olympics of 1932 (Los Angeles) the rings were used for the first time. So this brand has been gaining popularity over the last 70 years! Now what can you take from this for your own sport organization? Re-evaluate your logo (as part of your brand) and ask yourself whether it stands for something. Is it a lot of clutter with many colors, or is it simple and modern? The most important aspect is that it should be recognizable, and you should use it everywhere……on your letters, in your emails, on your flyers, press releases…EVERYWHERE! Can you imagine how powerful your sports and organization...

Six lies Athletes like to tell

Let me give a couple examples: Soccer federation This federation organizes a competition for amateur clubs. They didn't write press releases and at that moment they didn't even publish schedules.

It is all about the numbers in sports
Hidden somewhere on the field of play or the announcer's box is someone charged with a very special job: Watching each and every run, pitch, ball, fight or play and recording it all in the official scorebook.

Then, after the game, the scorekeeper calculates statistics such as batting average, aces, wind speed and many other mind-numbingly-precise details. Not only do these statistics give something to talk about during the...Read More

|[ODMG] Modifying object states of object evelopes inside a transaction
|Fri, 08 Jul 2005 14:28:15 GMT
Hi, I'm using OJB 1.0.3, and I'm still having problems when storing large object graphs (which I already had). I solved this problem, by listening to the PBStateListener.afterBegin() method. In this method, I use the metadata from the OJB metadata manager to clone myself a new object, which has no relationships to any other objects. This object is then stored using the persistence broker. This is done for all objects that are made persistent. After this, all objects are stored again, but now including all relationships etc. This works pretty good for me. But now I'm having a little problem, when locking a persistent object that has a reference to a new object. The ODMG layer marks this object as StateNewDirty. I also insert the new object in PBStateListener.afterBegin(). So I get an error, as OJB tries to insert the object twice. Is there anyway that I can set the state to StateOldClean or something, to let OJB know that it shouldn't care about that object anymore? Letting OJB do the insert fails (the graph problem). Thanks, Bart. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Apple doesn't stop surprising people of their latest and innovative features of their inventions on iPad! However it is going to be called, we can be very sure that this latest iPad version will give us more features than iPad 2. Surprisingly the cost is very much the same as iPad 2, the price of iPad 3 the new iPad range from $499 to $829. This is how Apple surprised people, just as when they launched iPad2 and priced it just the same as the original iPad inspite of the added features.
Now, they did it again with iPad3 the new iPad! Here are some of the features of iPad 3 the new iPad:
- A little heavier with a weight of 653g. This does not make any difference since iPad 3 is only 52g heavier than iPad2 which weigh 601g.
- Bigger screen resolution which is 2048 x 1536. The larger the screen the better-it allows you to have a better view even with pictures taken by a 5-megapixel camera. This new feature of iPad 3 the new iPad helps you edit 14 megapixel digital photos in full size.
- The camera has 1080p, 30 frames per second, its full HD Video makes you feel like watching in a big flat screen TV set. But, remember that the screen size is only 9.7 inches.
- 4G LTE Wi-Fi (Verizon and AT&T), Bluetooth 4.0, Apple 30-pin connector. The first iPad to be connected with 4G networks.
The above features are just some of the advantage of iPad3 the new iPad over iPad2. On the other hand they both have 9.7 inches screen size, 16GB-64GB storage and a processor of 1Ghz Apple A5. With a fast processor feature, it can handle 3D game, Sky Gamblers, with 50 fighter planes battling on screen.
It will be later on be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Switzerland, UK and U.S. Virgin Islands.
