Every Day is a Good Day for Growth/
Do you have time each day dedicated to the pursuit of growth and learning? I'm talking about a self-managed time spent reading, writing and thinking—every day. If not, here are 3 reasons to get some Growth Time on your calendar each day:
1) A Growth Time is the staple in the successful person's schedule
All successful people know that success is only a byproduct of value. Becoming valuable and creating value are the keys to success. There's no getting around it, you increase your value through consistent effort over time. So, those who consistently show up for their dedicated period of learning every day are those who will experience success.
2) Growth Time protects against atrophy
As human beings, we're always in a state of flux. We're either growing or dying; there is no such thing as maintenance mode. A Growth Time is exercise for the soul. It builds up the muscles of the mind and ensures you never get caught falling behind.
3) A Growth Time is your time
A Growth Time is a form of solitude. It's an opportunity to get away from everything else and focus on your development. We all need alone time, and a Growth Time ensures it happens.
It's been ten years since I first started my own Growth Time. I love it more today than ever before. Indeed, the duty has turned into delight, and the act a habit. Make sure a dedicated period of growth finds a home on your calendar each and every day.

David Beckham has said he is very honoured to be on the verge of a loan move to AC Milan and is especially excited about playing alongside defender Paolo Maldini.
The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder will move to the San Siro on a short-term loan deal from January once the details of the deal are agreed.
The 33-year-old former Manchester United and Real Madrid player wants to keep up his fitness during the U.S. close season in order to stay in the reckoning for an England squad place.
"I've been given the chance to join up with Milan for a couple of months and I'm very honoured," he told LA Galaxy's website (http://web.mlsnet.com/t106/) in his first public comment about the proposed move.
"AC Milan is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I've been lucky enough to play with one of the biggest clubs in England, one of the biggest clubs in Spain and now I'm being given the chance to play with one of the biggest clubs in Italy."
Beckham is looking forward to linking up with Milan's array of top-class talent, including 40-year-old captain Maldini.
"I've a great chance to go there, keep fit and play with some of the best players in the world. They've got Kaka, Ronaldinho, (Clarence) Seedorf and also a player with one of the best records in football, in Maldini," he said.
"To be on the pitch, training field and get experience with those players is a big honour for myself."
Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said earlier on Saturday that he would like to keep Beckham permanently but the player told Galaxy fans they had nothing to worry about.
"Well, one of the reasons I want to train and play in Milan for a few months, is the fact that the MLS season doesn't run as long as the European season and my body is programmed to actually not have that amount of time off," he said.
"It...gives me a chance to keep my fitness up and also carry that on for when I come back to the Galaxy and for the MLS season (in March). It doesn't mean I'm leaving the States. I'm still very committed to being a Galaxy player.
"I came to the Galaxy to win trophies and I want to do that. I'm also very committed to my role as the MLS ambassador and I want to do that.".

The Netherlands' parliament has passed a bill banning any slaughter of livestock without stunning.
In the Netherlands, the left wingers see this ritual slaughter as cruelty to animals, whereas the christian parties see freedom of a human being…

Introducing the Next Guam YTK
Imagine a 100 uyear land lease with no payments and rights to subdivide and rent the property. Imagine how much more profitable it will be if you didn't have to pay property taxes for 10 years, or could waive 75% of their corproate income taxes for the next 25 years. Bill 256 by Senator Tom Ada makes it all possible. It must be nice to have friends in high places.

Samsung Pay will join the online payment options for Visa Checkout users through a new partnership between the South Korean company and U.S.-based Visa, underscoring the fluidity of mobile wallets.
Consumers with fingerprint authentication-enabled Samsung devices will be able to use a new Visa Checkout/Samsung Pay button on websites that support Visa's streamlined checkout service beginning later this year, Samsung said in a Thursday press release. The company did not specify a date when the integration will go live.
"We are very excited to be working with Visa to offer simple, fast and secure checkout experiences to millions of Samsung Pay users on their mobile devices or desktop," said Injong Rhee, Samsung's chief technology officer for the mobile communications business at Seoul-based Samsung Electronics, in the release.
Visa Checkout, launched in 2014 as a successor to the card brand's V.me wallet, enables users to make payments on participating websites with just a few clicks.
Google has previously said it planned to integrate digital wallets from Visa and Mastercard within Android Pay.

It wasn't really a silky performance, but Spain outplayed Italy for two hours today (without mangaing to score) and then kept its nerve in the penalty shoot-out. Spain thus overcame a series of omens, including three penalty shoot-out loses on June 22nds past. The Spaniards advance to play Russia in one Euro 2008 semi-final. Spain beat Russia 4-1 earlier in the tournament. Gemany and Turkey will square off in the other semi-final.
Goalkeeper Iker Casillas was the hero for Spain. He made a phenomenal leg-save to keep out Italy's one serious scoring chance, and saved two of four penalty kicks in the shoot-out. Marco Senna, the Brazilian-born holding midfielder, was the other key figure. His steely play ensured that Spain would thoroughly dominate in midfield. He also broke up numerous counter-attacks and made his penalty kick in the 4-2 shoot-out win.
Before the match, I thought that the central defenders for both sides might struggle. That turned out manifestly not to be the case. For Italy, the make-shift duo of Panucci and (especially) Chiellini was outstanding, though the two received lots of help from right-back Zambrotta and holding midfielder DeRossi. For Spain, Puyol and Marchena, along with right back Sergio Ramos, blotted out Italy's powerful center-forward, Luca Toni.
But the Spanish attacking players were mostly well-off of their normal form, and not just because Italy defended so well. I can't recall ever seeing Iniesta play as poorly as he did today, and Xavi and Fernando Torres weren't much better. These players, or their replacements, will need to pick it up if Spain is to win this tournament.
Even so, Spain deserved to win. Indeed, with Toni unable to provide goals, the Italians were mediocre throughout the tournament. Their only win came against a French team reduced to ten men by the sending off of Abidal. It's a credit to the Italian's vaunted football survival instinct that they made it to a shoot-out in the quarterfinals with this team.
In sum, while football wasn't really a winner today, at least it wasn't a loser.

Designproces, moodboards, illustrations-technique, fashion-history, technical flats, presentation, print-design and textiles.
These skills are continously developped through the project-periods after which full collection-portfolios must be submitted for evaluation and grading.
Technical subjects.
Patternmaking, construction, size-grading, draping and sewing.
All students are required to make patterns in standard and own sizes. The patterns in own sizes are then sewn in fabric and fitted to the individual. By continously draping and fitting directly on the body, the student will acquire a thorough knowledge of different morphology and how to adapt patterns accordingly.
Chosen silhouettes from the collections are then made with the appropriate techniques in the real fabrics, thus allowing the student to further develop sewing and manufacturing skills.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 138873
Automatic partitioning "Could not allocate requested partitons"
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:54 EST
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Description of problem:
When I chose "Automatically Partition" in the installer, and then
select either "Remove all Linux partitions on this system." or "Keep
all partitions and use existing free space.", I'm presented with 2
error messages. I tried with or without checking the 'review
partitions' box, with the same result.
I can't tell what happens if I chose the third one which deletes all
partitions, I don't want to go that far right now, but I suspect it
would probably be the same. The error messages are as follows,
appearing as 2 consecutive dialog boxes:
"Could not allocate requested partitions:
Unsatisfied partition request
New Part Request -- mountpoint: None uniqueID: 3
type: physical volume (LVM) format: 1 badblocks: None
device: None drive: ['hda'] primary: None
size: 0 grow: 1 maxsize: None
start: None end: None migrate: None origfstype: None"
When you hit 'OK' here, the second error comes up:
"The following errors occurred with your partitioning:
You have not defined a root partition (/), which is requred for
installation of Fedora Core to continue.
This can happen if there is not enough space on your hard drive(s) for
the installation.
You can chose a different auto partitioning option, or click 'Back' to
select manual partitioning.
Press 'OK' to continue."
If I go back and chose the manually partition option, it moves on
gracefully to the partition editor where my drive appears. I have not
tried to do anything there yet.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot installation cd with no extra parameters
2. Select "Automatically Partition"
3. Select "Remove all Linux partitions on this system" OR select "Keep
all partitions and use existing free space"
4. Click 'Next'
Actual Results: The above mentioned error messages appear consecutively.
Expected Results: What the chosen options should do.
Additional info:
My hardware configuration:
Pentium 4 2.8 with HT enabled on an Intel D875PBZ motherboard with 1gb
A 40GB hard drive split into 2 equally sized partitions, the first
having a working installation of Windows XP, and the second being
unpartitioned space.
How did you have the machine partitioned previously?
The hard drive was initially partitioned a long time ago using a
Windows bootdisk iirc. It did however work fine the exact same way
when I installed FC2, what I did is simply delete all FC2 partitions
through the XP disk manager, and try this now.
I've managed to install FC3 successfully using manual partitioning, I
added a 100MB /boot, a 2048MB /swap, and a / partition filling all
remaining space. I installed grub to the first bootsector, it boots
fine using the XP loader (and a linux.bin), here's the output of fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes

/dev/hdb5 9730 19457 78140128+ b W95 FAT32
I think I committed a fix for this. You managed to get a workaround.
I see the same thing after using qtparted to resize the NTFS partition
on my new IBM laptop so that I have 40GB free space for FC3. I
initially left the space unformatted, but after getting the error
message I used qtparted to format it ext3. I still got the same error
message, though, the only difference being that my "uniqueID" is "36".

The CW has announced that they are giving the long gestating Archie TV show a shot and have ordered a Pilot for Riverdale. (Head to Comics Alliance for the details!) Which is great!
Because Archie is a beautiful property that despite its age has kept up with the times and trends of America, albeit in an idealised fashion. However the past year has seen an reinvention of Archie as a brand and it has recently been relaunched in comics with a more young adult focus by Mark Waid, Fiona Staples and friends. The results of which are some of the best comics I have read in the past few years.
Seriously do not be put off by the Archie wrapper and your notions of what that means. Go buy the first few issues and thank me later.

Social media at 180 mph: Las Vegas Motor Speedway turns to Twitter
Posted by Rant4u
If "The Bachelor" TV show can post Twitter feeds from viewers during its broadcasts, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway figures it can also offer instantaneous social networking quips at a new social media nerve center at this weekend's NASCAR race event.
Speedway officials are rolling out the social media hub at the Neon Garage for the Thursday-Sunday NASCAR weekend, which will feature guests from Team Lowe's Racing, NASCAR, Sprint and media churning out real-time comments. About 130,000 fans are expected for Sunday's NASCAR main event, the Kobalt Tools 400.
The hub – dubbed the "Kobalt Social Media Command Center" – will host computers and large video monitors that will give fans a live glimpse at the racing luminaries cranking out insights on Twitter and Facebook. NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski is the circuit's famed Twitter man, and was even fined $25,000 for sending out tweets from his car during a race.
"There's no question it's a must-do at this point at every major sports event and property. You have to be active in social media," said Nancy Lough, University of Nevada, Las Vegas professor of higher education and editor of the Sport Marketing Quarterly.
Lough explained that the fans' responses and observations to NASCAR's social media content will allow race officials to monitor trends among their consumers.
"They're putting out content that can be accessed by their consumers and then they can listen to what the response is by taking out the intermediary," Lough said Tuesday. "Twitter is a monitor or meter, if you will. You can monitor what is resonating with fans." Read More

I was searching for blogs written by women and came across this one: Always Aroused Glirl.
Naturally, I clicked.
Who wouldn't? It was 12:32 am. I should have been sleeping, instead I was youtubing TopChef and eating left overs because I can never watch that or Hells Kitchen without eating.
As I waited for it to paint up I thought I was would see a vagina staring me in the face, so I half turned my face and squinted as the screen loaded. Now understand, I am not adverse to seeing pussy, I just like to decide the context in which I happen upon one.
Finally the page opened up. The blog could not be found. Ah.
I admit to feeling relief and disappointment all at once. Funny how you can feel contradictory emotions at once. I think it must have been a blog with a HUGH labia as a header which is why it didn't pop right open, no?

Mining Quotes (13 quotes)
Almost daily we shudder as prophets of doom announce the impending end of civilization and universe. We are being asphyxiated, they say, by the smoke of the industry; we are suffocating in the ever growing mountain of rubbish. Every new project depicts its measureable effects and is denounced by protesters screaming about catastrophe, the upsetting of the land, the assault on nature. If we accepted this new mythology we would have to stop pushing roads through the forest, harnessing rivers to produce the electricity, breaking grounds to extract metals, enriching the soil with chemicals, killing insects, combating viruses But progressbasically, an effort to organise a corner of land and make it more favourable for human lifecannot be baited. Without the science of pomiculture, for example, trees will bear fruits that are small, bitter, hard, indigestible, and sour. Progress is desirable.
And so many think incorrectly that everything was created by the Creator in the beginning as it is seen, that not only the mountains, valleys, and waters, but also various types of minerals occurred together with the rest of the world, and therefore it is said that it is unnecessary to investigate the reasons why they differ in their internal properties and their locations. Such considerations are very dangerous for the growth of all the sciences, and hence for natural knowledge of the Earth, particularly the art of mining, though it is very easy for those clever people to be philosophers, having learnt by heart the three words 'God so created' and to give them in reply in place of all reasons.
Ask a follower of Bacon what [science] the new philosophy, as it was called in the time of Charles the Second, has effected for mankind, and his answer is ready; It has lengthened life; it has mitigated pain; it has extinguished diseases; it has increased the fertility of the soil; it has given new securities to the mariner; it has furnished new arms to the warrior; it has spanned great rivers and estuaries with bridges of form unknown to our fathers; it has guided the thunderbolt innocuously from heaven to earth; it has lighted up the night with the splendour of the day; it has extended the range of the human vision; it has multiplied the power of the human muscles; it has accelerated motion; it has annihilated distance; it has facilitated intercourse, correspondence, all friendly offices, all dispatch of business; it has enabled man to descend to the depths of the sea, to soar into the air, to penetrate securely into the noxious recesses of the earth, to traverse the land in cars which whirl along without horses, to cross the ocean in ships which run ten knots an hour against the wind. These are but a part of its fruits, and of its first-fruits; for it is a philosophy which never rests, which has never attained, which is never perfect. Its law is progress. A point which yesterday was invisible is its goal to-day, and will be its starting-point to-morrow.
For mining I cannot say much good except that its operations are generally short-lived. The extractable wealth is taken and the shafts, the tailings, and the ruins left, and in a dry country such as the American West the wounds men make in the earth do not quickly heal.
He said, Americans look upon water as an inexhaustible resource. Its not, if youre mining it. Arizona is mining groundwater.
The breaking up of the terrestrial globe, this it is we witness. It doubtless began a long time ago, and the brevity of human life enables us to contemplate it without dismay. It is not only in the great mountain ranges that the traces of this process are found. Great segments of the earth's crust have sunk hundreds, in some cases, even thousands, of feet deep, and not the slightest inequality of the surface remains to indicate the fracture; the different nature of the rocks and the discoveries made in mining alone reveal its presence. Time has levelled all.
The Chinese use fossil teeth as one of their principal medicines. Some Chinese families have for centuries been in the business of mining fossils to supply the drug trade.
The essence of modernity is that progress no longer waits on genius; instead we have learned to put our faith in the organized efforts of ordinary men. Science is as old as the race, but the effective organization of science is new. Ancient science, like placer mining, was a pursuit of solitary prospectors. Nuggets of truth were found, but the total wealth of knowledge increased slowly. Modern man began to transform this world when he began to mine the hidden veins of knowledge systematically.
The mortality of those who dig minerals is very great, and women who marry men of this sort marry again and again. According to Agricola, at the mines in the Carpathian mountains, women have been known to marry seven times.
There are many arts and sciences of which a miner should not be ignorant. First there is Philosophy, that he may discern the origin, cause, and nature of subterranean things; for then he will be able to dig out the veins easily and advantageously, and to obtain more abundant results from his mining. Secondly there is Medicine, that he may be able to look after his diggers and other workman ... Thirdly follows astronomy, that he may know the divisions of the heavens and from them judge the directions of the veins. Fourthly, there is the science of Surveying that he may be able to estimate how deep a shaft should be sunk Fifthly, his knowledge of Arithmetical Science should be such that he may calculate the cost to be incurred in the machinery and the working of the mine. Sixthly, his learning must comprise Architecture, that he himself may construct the various machines and timber work required underground Next, he must have knowledge of Drawing, that he can draw plans of his machinery. Lastly, there is the Law, especially that dealing with metals, that he may claim his own rights, that he may undertake the duty of giving others his opinion on legal matters, that he may not take another mans property and so make trouble for himself, and that he may fulfil his obligations to others according to the law.
This is the patent-age of new inventions
For killing bodies, and for saving souls,
All propagated with the best intentions;
Sir Humphrey Davy's lantern, by which coals
Are safely mined for in the mode he mentions,
Tombuctoo travels, voyages to the Poles,
Are ways to benefit mankind, as true,
Perhaps, as shooting them at Waterloo.

From information technology to medical science and mining, from building roads to space travel, engineers are working to make a difference to our standard of living, and with it our health, wealth and happiness. At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession.
Where there is cinnabar above, yellow gold will be found below. Where there is lodestone above, copper and gold be found below. Where there is calamine above, lead, tin, and red copper will be found below. Where there is haematite above, iron will be found below. Thus it can be seen that mountains are full of riches.

Come here, kiddos, and sit on grandma's knee. I'll tell you about the hardscrabble times, the lean years, when we Toughskins-wearing moppets, our shoulders scabbed and oozing from our smallpox shots, not only used phones that were attached to the wall by a cord but also baked cakes in an oven using two measly light bulbs. And they weren't even compact fluorescent!
I see you shaking your head. But these kinds of trials are what made our generation what it is today.
The Easy-Bake Oven debuted in 1963 in a shade of deep teal unseen in nature. In addition to the oven, the plastic appliance featured "burners" and came with a pint-size rolling pin and small aluminum pans in which to make cakes and cupcakes, pies and pizzas.
The cake flavors included artificial white, artificial chocolate and artificial devil's food, while the pie filling was All-American artificial apple. Add (real) water to the mix, slide the pan in the oven and prepare to live your dream, embodied in the slogan "Bake your cake and eat it too!"
The eating part, yes, well, there was that. The heat of two 100-watt light bulbs—fully preheated, the oven reportedly could reach 375 degrees—was ostensibly sufficient to cause molecules to vibrate and to convert starch to sugar. In 4 to 16 minutes, voila! You had a dessert concoction that tasted of industrializated food systems: treacly, mealy and faintly chemical—and oh, so good.
The Easy-Bake Oven was made by Kenner (now it's Hasbro), the company that also brought you the Spirograph. The appliance was marketed to girls to encourage them to be like their mom: unable to get a credit card in her name, sequestered in the kitchen fixing another drab green bean casserole with Campbell's mushroom soup and fried onion rings, and by midafternoon, pounding her third Tom Collins (Easy Shaker, anyone?) and reading Looking for Mr. Goodbar.
There were knock-offs, of course: the Junior Chef Magic-Cool Oven, which resembled an incinerator; and the Suzy Homemaker, which one-upped the Easy-Bake by not only featuring an oven and stove, but also damn near a full kitchen, including a sink and dishwasher, perfect for scrubbing cake pans and rinsing Tom Collins glasses.
By the mid-1970s, the oven's color scheme had taken on the drab tones of the Nixon/ Ford era: burnt umber and avocado. The 1983 model appeared to have been designed by the band Men Without Hats: radioactive yellow and square with an instrument panel that could have powered the space shuttle. By then, Easy-Bake technology had progressed to the point that the oven needed only one 100-watt bulb.
In the last 20 years, the mystique of the Easy-Bake Oven has declined. Blame the drive-thru. Blame the avalanche of snacks in school vending machines, which give kids immediate access to their sugar fixes. Me? I blame the microwave. Easy-Bake had a microwave model, but why would a third-grader accept a substitute when she already knows how to use the real microwave to make dinner?
Here's the real bummer, the proof that most of today's toys suck: The 21st-century version, the Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven, comes with games, videos and downloads, but it requires no light bulbs. That's right, no light bulbs. What's an Easy-Bake Oven without light bulbs? Well, since it has a heating element similar to a conventional oven, it's really just a miniature oven.
"Why wouldn't I just use a real oven?" reads one of the online Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven FAQs.
"The Easy-Bake brand is a fashionable fun food brand that inspires tween girls to bake, share and show their creativity and expertise through an immersive brand experience."
Now I get it. You can fake your cake and eat it too.

1. Gun control: We the people should have to right to own firearms because, if the government is to ever become a police state then we shall have the power to fight for our freedom, against tyranny and injustice. Self defense. Think of it in this logic, if some guy breaks into your house, you wont just get a steak knife and let the cliched horror movie begin. No you would get a gun and therefore have a sufficent way to defend yourself. Statistics show that gun control simply does not work for example Detroit, Chicago, etc. While I do believe that there should be adjustments to mentally unstable and felons we should not take away the peoples only defense against tyranny.
2. Abortion. I will use simple logic. Save a tree, yet do not save a fetus? wut?
3. Capitalism by itself is not good. That leads to the exploitation of workers and the major corporations becoming the powerhouses. I believe we should incorporate capitalism and some socialist elements in order to balance each other out. Socialism works by being dependent on the government and forcibly taking from the rich and giving to the poor. I call it "forced Charity". Capitalism lets you control your own destiny without anyone stopping you.
Your move compadre
1. Gun Control, Alright let's say that someone breaks into your house, and they have a gun, if you don't your dead, if you do you may also be dead depending on the skills of each individual party.
It is a proven fact, that in countries that have less guns and harsher regulations, there is less violent crime
For example let us compare the violent crime per Capita of Greece and the United States
Greece has a murder rate of 1 vs 5.9 in the United states
- http://www.nationmaster.com...
What is something Greece has the US doesn't? strict gun laws
- http://www.commongunsense.com...
Greece also happens to be one of the poorest countries in Europe and has an incredibly low Unemployment rate, but crime remains low, we can only conclude that the low crime rate in Greece is a result to the low amount of guns.
Now the argument that guns are necessary for freedom is flawed as the top 4 countries in the Freedom index all have some form of gun regulation
- http://www.huffingtonpost.com...
Now let's go over Abortion, Nearly every single Abortion occurs during first Trimester of a women's pregnancy when a fetus is still arguably part of the women, it is undeveloped and can not be considered a separate entity from the Mother. And there is a link between a decreasing crime rate and Abortion.
- http://freakonomics.com...
And why do liberals want to save trees, i dunno because humans kinda need them to live? Or we can keep cutting them down because "Muh free market"
> I believe we should incorporate capitalism and some socialist elements in order to balance each other out.
That's almost literally what Liberalism is right there, I believe you are mistaking Liberalism and Socialism my friend. Liberalism is capitalism with more government regulations and a bigger focus on Social and Economic inequality.

I'm headed to the plant nursery today and here's why: Most of us spend the vast majority of our time indoors. At minimum, we spend 6-8 hours sleeping in our bedroom (which is probably carpeted).

Safari Star Beds: Under African Skies
Safaris take you to vast tracts of untamed African wilderness. Set off on thrilling early morning game drives, dine al fresco while elephant drink at a nearby waterhole and - for a true sense of being out in the wild - spend a night out under the stars.
Forget the roughly hammered together treehouses of your childhood. These 10 sleep out decks are the ultimate bush bedrooms with a comfortable bed made up with crisp, white linen and a down duvet; a bathroom with a toilet and possibly a shower; and a radio for contacting the lodge should you need it (although each of these star beds is perfectly safe).
Imagine just you and your partner under the brilliant blaze of the Milky Way. Cosied up in bed your ears tune in to the grunts of hippos or distant whoop of a hyena. Your morning alarm call is the twittering of birds, and your day begins by watching the sunrise as the colours bleed into the landscape below you.
1. Chalkley's Treehouse, Lion Sands (South Africa)
Lion Sands has four luxurious lodges, each offering the option of a night in a treehouse. Our favourite, Chalkey's Treehouse, is built around an ancient Leadwood tree; the high platform the perfect place to enjoy a sunset picnic dinner before settling down for a night under the stars.
> Take me to Lion Sands River Lodge
2. Elephant Star Bed, Abu Camp (Botswana)
Abu Camp is best known for its resident herd of African elephants. Staying here you'll have plenty of chances to interact with the Abu herd, including sleeping out on a deck built over the elephant boma. Imagine being lulled to sleep by the gentle snores of elephants in the enclosure below you.
> Take me to Abu Camp
3. Little Kulala, Sossusvlei (Namibia)
Away from light pollution, the Namib Desert has stars so bright it feels you could reach out and touch them. At Little Kulala you can sleep in your glass-walled suite, or head uptairs to the warm comfort of your private rooftop bed and count shooting stars as they streak across the sky.
> Take me to Little Kulala
4. Loisaba Star Beds, Laikipia (Kenya)
The Loisaba Star Beds have been called the "biggest bedroom in the world". Just getting there is an adventure in itself, as you set off on a game drive, horseback or camel safari. After dinner, your bed is rolled out onto your private platform and you cuddle down in comfort under the African night sky.
> Take me to Loisaba
5. Malori Sleep Out Deck, Tswalu Kalahari (South Africa)
South Africa's largest private game reserve, Tswalu Kalahari has just two luxury lodges - each offering the chance to spend a night at The Malori. This deck faces the sunset, has a thatched overhang with heating (for chilly nights) and a king-size bed made up with the finest Aldona linen.
> Take me to Tswalu Tarkuni
6. Little Makalolo Camp, Hwange (Zimbabwe)
Little Makalolo, in Hwange National Park, has a sleep out deck overlooking Madison Pan. This is a more casual experience: there's a pizza oven on site and you sleep on a bedroll draped in mosquito netting. In the morning, laze in bed watching elephant and antelope down at the waterhole.
> Take me to Little Makalolo
7. Tanda Tula Safari Camp, Timbavati (South Africa)
Built amongst the branches of a Leadwood tree, Tanda Tula's beautiful outdoor bedroom looks out across the Timbavati (a private Kruger Reserve). After a picnic dinner in the tree tops, curl up under a feather duvet and relish the feeling of having a small slice of African wilderness all to yourself.
> Take me to Tanda Tula
8. Baines' Camp Sky Bed, Okavango Delta (Botswana)
Honeymoon favourite Baines' Camp has just five luxurious suites, each with a private deck where your four-poster bed can be wheeled out for a romantic night under the stars. Another fantastic option is their star bath: return from dinner to find his-and-hers bubble baths set up on your candlelit deck.
> Take me to Baines' Camp
9. Garonga Sleep Out Deck, Kruger Park (South Africa)
Garonga Safari Camp lies in a private concession bordering the Kruger National Park. It's a 20-minute drive from main camp to the sleep out deck, where you'll be dropped off with a well-stocked picnic hamper. You'll need to book this experience well in advance, as it is understandably popular.
> Take me to Garonga Safari Camp
10. Ol Donyo Lodge, Chyulu Hills (Kenya)
A Relais & Chateaux property, Ol Donyo Lodge sits on the lower slopes of Chyulu Hills in Kenya's Amboseli region. This is an exquisite lodge with 10 private cottages, each with a roof terrace where you can ask the staff to set up your star bed or simply enjoy a candlelit dinner for two.
> Take me to Ol Donyo Lodge

Owning your own home has always been a part of the American dream. It is your own private castle and oasis. Homes are not maintenance free however. Many a Saturday will be spent tackling house projects. Many people like to do these projects themselves to save money and make sure the job gets done right. Since many people are so invested in their homes, many like to customize them just the way they want by doing their own remodeling projects as well. There are great savings and a sense of accomplishment when completing a home project, but sometimes it may be best to call a professional contractor.
There are a lot of improvements you can do to your home yourself and not spend a lot of money. The first thing you can do is get the front of your house looking fresh. This increases curb appeal, and will make you proud everytime you pull up into your driveway. This can be done by simple landscaping and gardening. A neatly trimmed lawn and plants that border your walkway will make your home look sharp. Painting or replacing a mailbox is another inexpensive idea. Finally, pressure washing your house and driveway really brightens up the exterior by removing months and years of dirt and making everything look clean and new. All of these are on the easier end of the do-it-yourself scale of difficulty.
Every once in awhile you may come across a project around your home that may need to be left to a qualified professional, especially if there are safety concerns involved. Any work that requires you to be on the roof of your home is especially dangerous. Since you're likely not used to running around on a rooftop, your potential for slipping, falling, and causing serious injury is quite a bit higher than someone who does it for a living. Repairing shingles, roof leaks, and even cleaning gutters, can be dangerous if it involves working several feet above the ground.
When you think about cleaning gutters, you want to have a clean-looking home. Less debris in gutters means less risk of leaks in your roof or animals nesting in your house. You probably don't think it's going to be very difficult or take very long. You're just going to carefully go up that ladder you pull out of the garage once every few months, climb up, stand on it while reaching around the gutters, and yanking out debris. It doesn't seem too bad in theory, but you may quickly change your mind when you start considering your safety and the time and effort involved. A skilled professional is trained on how to do it properly, and safely. You could lose your balance at some point and fall off of the ladder. Maybe on your way down you grab the gutter to try to catch yourself. Now, you're laying on the ground injured and you've pulled the gutter off of your house too. This may be an extreme case, but it is certainly something to keep in mind, and not beyond the realm of possibility.
Look to the professionals when you're looking to renovate anything that involves electricity or plumbing as well. Many projects in the realm of electricity, plumbing, not to mention others, all require permits. A professional will take care of all the paperwork for you which is one less hassle for you. For peace of mind, safety, and knowing it's going to be done correctly, the price-tag may not be that bad for these projects. Try comparing different companies and don't be afraid to ask for a quote.
Overall, a good rule of thumb when considering whether you need to hire a professional service for your next home project or save some money and do it yourself, is think about your potential risk. Whatever you choose to do, just think it through and weigh the pros and cons - simple as that.

A Little Love
Happy Valentines Day! I'm not all about fancy dates, roses and mushy gushy stuff, but I do like to take Valentines Day as a chance to say a couple extra "I love you's" and spend time with my favorites. I have people (hubby included) who I would SO LOVE to give a giant hug today...but they are spread across the country. I'm missing my hubby this weekend, as he's already made the move to Texas, our new coaching destination! And while it's tough, I'm so thankful that he is there, starting our next adventure already! I am, however, spending the day with my sweetest Valentine, littlest M. We also get to spend the weekend with my grandparents...so it's definitely a weekend full of love.
Another thing I love about Valentines Day? It's another excuse to take ridiculously adorable pictures of my munchkin. I'm guessing my years are limited for this, so I'm going to take full advantage while I can.
Happy Valentines Day!

This can be anything done to correct imperfections in the appearance of the mouth. Anyone who is unhappy with their smile can have it fixed. The upper teeth show, usually, only when smiling, while the lower teeth remain hidden. This is reversed when talking, with the upper teeth remaining hidden while the lower teeth show. The color, alignment, spacing as well as regularity of the teeth are the characteristics that give the overall appearance. Any of these can be repaired to give a stunning look to the mouth.
We offer a wide variety of cosmetic options. Some of these options are whitening, smile design, recontouring of the shape of the teeth, veneers, bonding, and all ceramic/porcelain crowns.
WHITENING This is the procedure of making teeth whiter, and therefore more attractive. Our office uses several methods: KoR Whitening, passive tray whitening, and professional strength white strips.
KoR is a revolutionary tooth whitening procedure. It's safe and very effective. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. The clinician then applies the proprietary KoR whitening gel that is activated by a specially designed light. After the initial in office visit the patient will be provided trays to wear at home and a follow up office visit will be scheduled. The KoR method is recommended for badly stained teeth, such as tetracycline staining.
The tray method involves having impressions taken from which laboratory fabricated custom vinyl trays are made. A carbamide peroxide gel is placed in these trays and the trays with gel are worn for about 3 hours, or overnight. The entire process takes 3-4 weeks of daily use. For maintenance of whitened teeth the trays should be used every several months.
We have researched several of the strip treatments on the market and have been very impressed with the Sheer White brand. It is an inexpensive place to start and produces great results for the majority of our patients. This is a prescription strength tray and is available in office to our patients.
VENEERS Veneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only done to the part of the teeth that are visible when talking or smiling. The procedure can be direct or indirect.
The direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using bonding. This method is usually referred to as bonding.
The indirect technique usually involves two appointments because the veneers will be fabricated at a dental laboratory. At the first appointment the teeth are prepared, impressions taken, and the teeth are given a temporary covering. In two to three weeks the veneers are back from the laboratory, the temporaries are removed and the veneers are bonded to the teeth. The laboratory fabricated veneers are usually made using porcelain or pressed ceramic, and are very esthetic.
ORTHODONTICS/BRACES Dr Kenneth Austin is a general dentist that has completed and externship with the Academy of GP Orthodontics. This program was designed to provide the general dentist with the necessary skills to diagnose and treat most orthodontic cases. We provide traditional metal braces, porcelain "tooth colored" braces, and the clear alligner trays depending on the patients concerns and desired results.

The following Wednesday afternoon, the children take their 'pledge' and are tested on their multiplication and division facts associated with that times table. Together we celebrate success or encourage each other to try again.
Every Wednesday the children are given Spelling homework - spelling words and an activity to reinforce the spelling rule and they are tested the following week, writing their spelling word within sentences via dictation. This also reinforces punctuation and grammar!

As health care and public health continue to evolve, the field of Health Information Systems (HIS) has revealed an overwhelming universe of new, emerging, competing, and conflicting technologies and services. Even seasoned HIS professionals, as well as those new to the field, are often confounded by these myriad systems.
Essentials of Health Information Systems and Technology unravels the mysteries of HIS by breaking these technologies down to their component parts, while articulating intricate concepts clearly and carefully in simple, reader-friendly language. The book provides a thorough yet unintimidating introduction to this complex and fascinating field.
This book will provide undergraduate and early graduate students with a solid understanding not only of what is needed for a successful healthcare career in HIS, but also of the vast frontier that lies before us as we develop new tools to support improved methods of care, analytics, policy, research, and public health.
Contents Include:
Jean A Balgrosky, MPH-Lecturer, Fielding School of Public Health, University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, Founder, Bootstrap Incubation, LLC, Solana Beach, California, Chief Information Officer, MD Revolution, La Jolla, California
Jean Balgrosky, MPH, RHIA, teaches Health Information Systems and Technology at UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, where she also received her MPH in Health Information Management and BS in Health Services with a specialization in Medical Record Science. She is currently a PhD Candidate in Health Policy and Management where she is completing her dissertation on "Adoption of Health Information Technology by Physicians for Use in their Practices." Ms. Balgrosky's career in heath information systems and technology has included role of chief information officer (CIO) in large, complex health care organizations for over twenty years, consulting, and teaching at the graduate level. Recently, she has become an entrepreneur, mentor, and board member for start-up companies in the life science, digital health, software-as-a-service, and health care analytics arenas. She is currently also CIO to a digital health company.
This is Ms. Balgrosky's first book, for which she draws largely from her thirty-year career in health information systems and technology as well as from teaching graduate courses at UCLA the past five years. She has authored numerous papers and articles over the course of her career, is a frequent speaker and panelist at health information technology conferences, and plans to publish the results of her dissertation research regarding physician adoption of electronic health records.
Ms. Balgrosky has provided leadership throughout her career to the evolving health information systems and technology industry, maintaining her accreditation as a Registered Health Information Administrator as the foundation of her knowledge of medical record management and electronic health records. Her goal in writing this and subsequent books is to develop courses and resource materials for health information systems curricula, as well as infuse necessary information technology topics into other courses taught in schools of public health and health management. Examples of courses that now require information technology components include financial and human resources management, quality, organizational behavior, strategic planning, marketing, and medical and nursing educational programs.
Ms. Balgrosky lives in Del Mar, California, with her husband Parker. They have seven children and, at current count, nine grandchildren.
"I am an HIS researcher and educator at Georgia State University and I am very impressed! I've read several books on HIS and none of them are as good as this one."

Garlic. The word alone stirs the senses with memories of powerful aromas, zesty flavors and memorable, savory meals. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't enjoy this punchy allium, and you might be surprised at the range of dishes that are improved by it. Breads, sauces, appetizers and entrees ? just about everything short of cheesecake takes on a bold, flavorful taste with this versatile kitchen staple.
But garlic does more than add flavor: It's been used for food and medicinal purposes since at least 3000 B.C., renowned for its powerful antiviral and antibacterial properties. As the realm of holistic health has grown, it's now also recommended to help prevent heart disease (it can lower cholesterol and blood pressure) and even cancer. In The Green Pharmacy, James A. Duke, Ph.D., suggests garlic to treat allergies, athlete's foot, diabetes, colds, the flu and more.
You can easily enjoy the numerous benefits of garlic, for the palate and body, by growing your own this season. Fall is a terrific time to plant garlic, and come summer you'll be rewarded with large, flavor-packed heads ready for nibbling, cooking and preserving.
Garlic is simple to grow. Good soil, full sun and watering every few days are its main requirements, and garlic doesn't attract many insects ? it can even deter them from other crops! If the plant begins to flower, snip the stalk to keep growth energy directed to the bulb instead. You'll know it's time to harvest when the tops of the stalks start to brown.
Served as an appetizer, spread on bread, or mixed in mashed potatoes, one of the simplest, most useful garlic preparations is roasted garlic. These basic recipes are adapted from Growing and Using Garlic, by Glenn Andrews.
Roasted Garlic
1 whole head garlic
1 tsp olive oil
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Slice off the top fifth of the garlic head. Place the head on a medium-size square of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Drizzle the olive oil over garlic. Seal the foil securely. (Unless you want your whole house to smell of garlic, don't crumple the foil too much; this would create cracks through which the aroma could escape.) Bake for 40 minutes, the garlic should be golden brown.
Garlic also makes a yummy, easy hummus:
1 cup dried chickpeas (garbanzos)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1? teaspoons garlic, minced (about 3 cloves)
1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste, available at most supermarkets)
Salt to taste
Soak the chickpeas overnight in enough water to cover by at least 1 inch.
Drain. Cover amply again with fresh water. Boil for about an hour, or until very soft. Drain again. Put chickpeas, along with lemon juice, garlic, tahini and salt, in a food processor or blender and run the machine until the hummus is smooth. (You may have to add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, to make the mixture thin enough to process. The consistency you want is similar to mayonnaise.)
Serve as a spread or dip for pita chips or triangles of toasted pita bread. Makes about 2 cups.

Re: EOlson looking for Garlic seeds/How to grow your own garlicYou don't need, or really want garlic seed, unless the stores near you don't have the kind of garlic you want. You can order online by searching on "grow garlic" to find resources.Just go to the store and get several whole, ripe heads of garlic, especially grab some that show a little green tip trying to poke through the dried skin.Break off the cloves that are sprouting, leaving the base intact where it broke from the head. Put the cloves in moist planting soil deep enough to cover the top by about a 1/4 inch, so approximately 1 inch deep. Water gently so as not to uncover the tops of the cloves when you water.These will sprout when they're ready to start a new head, sometimes in a week or two, other times in a few months -- it depends on the season and weather in your area. Planting 20 or more cloves is wise. It takes about a year for my garlic to become a full head, I noticed. If I get impatient and pick it early, it's one giant clove instead of 13-15 attached cloves.COOL NOTE: Garlic is great to plant around your garden to prevent aphids. So, I put 2 or three cloves next to each rose bush, around basil and pepper plants and I get natural protection. So, anywhere aphids are eating your bounty, put cloves 4 inches apart, surround the plant, make a border (as garlic is decorative all by itself), et cetera. It's the most inexpensive and eco-friendly way to protect your garden from bugs, gophers, maybe rabbits and possums, as well. Oh, and plant new sprouting cloves as you harvest the full grown heads, alternating so that you always have garlic at full maturity and new to maintain the protection at all times.
You say that garlic is easy to grow. What kinds do you recommend for baking? Where can I get some -- most of the seed companies are out of stock or are running out of stock on anything that they recommend for baking. Thanks. EOlson
Hummus is also good with a wee bit of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil mixed in....mmmmm....
I am from India. Taking one garlic pearl (we used to call)in the empty stomach early in the morning with abundant water will reduce cholestral level considerably. Garlic and ginger are main spices used in Indian cusine.
Another great way to roast garlic is to slice off the top and set them right at the edge of your fireplace while enjoying a nice fire. Roughly 12 inches from the flame to start. If it is too close it will split and ooze pulp, but if you feel it is roasting too slowly, move it a little closer.
I read recently that in order to get the best health responses from garlic, it should be pressed under a knife blade to remove the skin and then left 10 minutes. This action of pressing lets the alliin convert to allicin which is what does you good. If you dont do that, you will get some of the effect but not the whole effect.
I press the garlic with the flat of a knife, and let it sit with salt on it. That way the garlic is softened and crushes in to a paste easily.
