Deanna Pellum
My fitness journey began June 2011, at this point I decided it was time to lose weight and get in shape. This was the start to something that was inspiring, motivational and even a little addictive! After the first few camps and learning about food, fitness and how to look at the scripture in a whole new way, I knew this was the best camp for me. I now love working out at 5am!
So where do I start? Berries & Bananas, Tutus and tethers, Ultimate circuits, Jump ropes and runs! This is just a small list of things we do at bootcamp. At the start of my fitness journey I was not a runner, nor did I want to be a runner! After signing up for my second bootcamp, the Tutu Crew, I started running, what I thought was a lot. I wasn't a huge fan of it but I did it because I knew it would pay off in the end. After running my first 5K I ended up running another 6 races over the next 2 months.
Looking back over the past year, I wouldn't change a thing! I have met some great friends, great motivators, and two of the best trainers anyone could ever ask for! Tish & Rebekah, I can not thank you enough for all the new things you have brought into my life! Bootcamp and/or running have now become a daily routine for me. I enjoy it more than I ever thought I would. I have lost 44 lbs and feel healthy mentally, physically and spiritually. I wouldn't be where I am today without my trainers and fellow Chix, they have made the first year of this journey very enjoyable and rewarding!
April 28, 2012, Deanna Pellum completed her FIRST half marathon in Champaign, IL with a PR of 2:36.16!

ie, better to go for '=' rather than 'LIKE' or '<>'
ie, better to go for '=' rather than 'LIKE' or '<>'
Hello Mr. Simon.
I wanted to try the advise #8 because more often than not I find myself perfomrming queries of that kind... but the (INDEX = IX_OrderID) piece is new to me.
This might look like a n00b question (and maybe it is) but how does it really work?
I tried using (INDEX = IX_) but the parser returned an error: "Incorrect syntax near 'INDEX'. If this is intended as a part of a table hint, A WITH keyword and parenthesis are now required."
I tried using "WITH (INDEX(IX_))" but I got the next error:
"Index 'IX_...' on table 'TableName' (specified in the FROM clause) does not exist."
I hope my question does not turn to be a whole new topic. If that's the case just let me know :P
(ATM, I'm googling the topic, just in case it's more complex than I think... and that's quite probable haha)
Hi Compa...
Definitely you have to use index along with 'with' keyword..
For this you have to give the index name property....
Check the sample below... find the index name either through management studio or using query..
select * from Course with (index=UNI_DEPT) where Offering_dept='ACCT'
i think it will be fine...
Ah, I understand.
Is not like I create the index "Out of the blue", I tell the optimizer which of the table's index to use right? :)
I feel a little dumb now haha.
Thanx for the help :D
Great CompaReplyDelete

Maine CDC/DHHS Top Questions on 2009 H1N1 Flu
November 3, 2009
Note: Maine CDC will now post the answers to the top questions related to 2009 H1N1 flu received by our public phone bank, e-mail, and disease reporting and consultation line at the beginning of each week. Our weekly updates on H1N1 flu in Maine will continue to be posted on Thursdays. For more information on how to stay updated, see the end of this document.
Top Questions from the week of October 26:
Q. Where can I get a flu shot?
A. The short answer is if you're in a high priority group and cannot find it, keep trying with your health care provider. The vaccine supply is increasing every week.
Right now there are few, if any, public clinics since there is not a sufficient supply of vaccine. This is the case in many other states as well. Eventually, there will be enough vaccine for anyone who wants it. In the meantime, we are distributing vaccine to those who are in the high priority groups. Right now there is a focus on pregnant women and children. So, the vast majority of vaccine is currently being distributed to schools, pediatric, and obstetrical health care providers. Early on, some vaccine went to hospitals for health care workers with frequent direct contact with patients and infectious material, especially to those with contact with pediatric and obstetrical patients. Over the past few days, we also received a very tiny amount of some adult-only vaccine formulations for the first time, so we distributed that to some specialty practices (pulmonary, cardiac, dialysis, etc) and large internal medicine/family practices.
Q. Why are healthy school children getting vaccine and I cannot find any?
A. The answer is threefold. First, all children are disproportionately affected by H1N1 and are at risk. Second, we provide protection to the entire community by vaccinating school children, since they are the major transmitters of flu. Third, we could not offer the nasal spray vaccine – which accounts for about a third of all vaccine received so far and the majority of the initial doses to arrive in the state – to many high priority categories of people, because it is only licensed for otherwise healthy non-pregnant people ages 2 – 49, and most priority categories of people have underlying conditions. It therefore seemed most effective to use this vaccine with our healthy school and pre-school aged children, although we are also distributing some injectable vaccine into schools and pediatric practices for their children with underlying conditions.
Q. How are you deciding which schools are getting vaccine?
A. The first few schools that held clinics this past week were simply those that had ordered early and were ready to vaccinate right away. Since then, we have received a surge of orders from schools across the state and not enough vaccine to fulfill these orders. We are distributing vaccine to those schools indicating readiness to vaccinate and we are also assuring an even distribution across the state and within counties in proportion to the population.
Q. Who are the overall priority groups for vaccine?
A. They are:
Pregnant women
All people ages 6 months – 25 years-old
People with underlying conditions who are 25 – 64 years-old
Caregivers and household members of those younger than 6 months old
Health care workers
Please note that these priority groups add up to about 700,000 in Maine, and we have only received about 99,000 doses of vaccine in the state right now. This is why Maine CDC is asking that vaccine in state and not administered yet be prioritized for pregnant women and children.
Q. Who are the priority groups for receiving antiviral medications (Tamiflu® or Relenza®) if they have symptoms of H1N1 or are heavily exposed to someone with H1N1 (for example, live in the same household)?
A. They are:
Pregnant women
Children younger than 2 years-old
People older than 64 years of age
People with underlying medical conditions, including children on chronic aspirin therapy
Anyone with more severe H1N1 disease such as that involving a pneumonia or a hospitalization (which children at any age are more likely to encounter)
People in certain outbreak situations involving many at high risk – prisons outbreaks, for instance
Q. Why are these two priority groups not the same, for instance, seniors?
A. The data so far indicates that seniors are at low risk for contracting H1N1 since they seem to have some underlying immunity. However, if they do contract H1N1, they are at risk for complications and should receive antiviral medications.

Established in 2008, Kovi-Korea Vista is specialized in boiler and piping materials and conducts general trading with Russia and the CIS area. The company manufactures and sells heating and industrial boilers and piping materials to the domestic largest companies exclusively and concentrates its energy on OEM exporting.
Kovi-Korea Vista is establishing sale corporations and a service network in Russia and various countries in the CIS area through export-oriented global marketing. For customer satisfaction, it runs a diff erentiated local direct service center and a dealer type service center in Russia for total solutions. Kovi-Korea Vista sells not only boilers, but also boiler-related system products, such as boiler parts, gas facility related products, high pressure valves and strainers, welding system torches / cables, stainless corrugated tubes / connectors.
Its headquarters are in Busan and its warehouse & factory are in South Gyeongnam province. Branches and warehouses are in Nobosibirsk and dealer agents are in Ekateninburg, Sakhalin, Khabarovsk, Kamchatka and Kazakhstan.
As import and customs clearances are performed directly in the business offi ce in Vladivostok, it gains a competitive advantage in product unit cost against competitors through cost-saving on import clearance. It delivers its products from the main offi ce in Busan and stores them in the warehouses. It manages the company, factory, warehouses and working personnel through an ERP data processing system.
Oil and Gas Boiler, Fuel Wood Boiler, Pellet Boiler and Gas Boiler
The company's vertical small & medium sized oil and gas boiler features high effi ciency heat exchanger and extensive hot water capacity. The heat transfer area of the shell is 1.3 times larger than that of the common boiler to provide higher effi ciency. Since the stainless steel hot water coil is located in the upper region of the boiler, heat exchanging capacity of hot water is excellent. Fuel wood boiler has the same features as the oil and gas boilers.
The home pellet boiler is easy to use like common oil boilers as domestic and controller instead of low-cost Chinese controller is equipped. The functions of backfi re protection, low level detection and over-heating protection make the boiler safer. The gas boiler features an automatic combustion control system. The rotating speed of the fan is controlled in accordance with fl ame conditions like yellow or blue colors detected by an infra-red fl ame sensor, so optimal combustion conditions can always be maintained.

Whether you're using QuickBooks Online (QBO) or Xero, or some other accounting application, when first setting up your books you'll need to establish a Chart of Accounts, or COA. Usually accounting apps come with a predefined Chart of Accounts, which you can then customize to fit your needs. Below is a general list of the types of accounts you need to have on your COA.
- Asset
- Liability
- Equity
- Revenue
- Cost of Goods Sold
- Expense
- Other Income
- Other Expense (typically depreciation and interest expense)
(The first three types make up the Balance Sheet, and types 4 through 8 make up the Income Statement.)
If you wish, in both QBO and Xero you can assign account numbers to the accounts on your COA. These typically begin with the same numbers from the list above, and can be two, three, four, five, or more digits in length. (Because I'm a numbers person, I like to use account numbers. After I work with a COA for awhile, I start remembering the account numbers. When I'm posting a transaction to a specific account, I just have to type in the account number to find it. Yes, I'm weird that way.)

A Morning In London With Little Tikes
A couple of weeks back Bella and I were invited to spend the morning in London with the lovely people from Little Tikes to celebrate the launch of their newborn product range with a baby shower themed brunch. We were up and out the house super early and on the commuter train by 7.15am! We had arranged to meet Emily, Fran and their lovely kiddos on route so by the time we arrived we were a party of eight!
The event was super fun, the venue itself was gorgeous and it was packed with huge colourful balloons, an amazing brunch spread and more toys then you could shake a stick at. The kids all loved getting stuck in with the toys from the new ranges and definitely put them through their paces over the few hours that we were there. Whilst Bella played I enjoyed listening to a really interesting talk from the lovely Emma Kenny all about a recent survey on the highs and lows of parenting that Little Tikes had carried out.
Whenever I think of Little Tikes as a brand I always think of their famous red and yellow Cozy Coupe car! Bella received one for her second birthday and absolutely LOVES it. It's one of those toys that I know she will continue to play with until she physically can no longer fit in it! She's forever cruising round the garden in it or filling it with all her 'shopping'. There was even an adult sized one at the event which the girls all adored! Apart from all the garden toys, I had never realised what a huge range of other toys that Little Tikes did and with the addition of their newborn range there really is something for everyone now.
After a fantastic few hours with Little Tikes we headed off in search of some lunch and ended up giving the kids a little picnic by the fountain in Trafalgar Square as it was such a lovely sunny day! I headed home in the afternoon with an a very tired toddler in tow who ended up having a little nap on my lap on the train home. Overall we had a wonderful day in the big smoke!

Additionally, Ephraim Jacob Byers, 21, is accused of holding up a woman on a La Jolla street on May 12. Byers was also held to answer for grand theft in the loss of an employee's iPhone in Pacific Beach.
Both Byers and Kyle James Holland, 20, were identified by most of the witnesses in a preliminary hearing conducted by San Diego Superior Court Judge Charles Rogers.
Three women who were vacationing together from Arizona and a couple also from Arizona were held up in two incidents in Pacific Beach in which their cell phones and other items were taken.
Rogers ordered the men to stand trial on a single count of making a criminal threat to one victim. He dismissed two counts of making a criminal threat to other victims.
The La Jolla victim said the robber pulled a gun on her and did not call police until she was safely at home as her cell phone was stolen.
Lisa Garris testified she and her husband were robbed at 2 a.m. July 24 after they left a Pacific Beach bar while they were vacationing here from Arizona.
"Two guys jumped out of the darkness with a knife," said Garris.
"Give us all your (expletive), your purse," Garris quoted one robber as saying.
Detective Stephanie Audette testified she interviewed Holland after his July 24 arrest and he told her he "was acting as a lookout." She said Holland admitted Byers gave him some money for helping him in the hold-ups.
The police detective also testified Holland kept one of the cellphones that was taken from an Arizona tourist.
Courtland Nead, a manager at California Accessories on Garnet Street, testified his iPhone 6S+ was stolen by one man after two other men distracted him in the store in March.
Nead testified the three men came in together and it was believed Byers unplugged his phone that was charging at the time and took it. It was valued at $800. The three men then left together.
The charge for the theft was changed at the hearing from robbery to grand theft since the phone was taken while the victim was not in personal possession of it at the time.
Holland's attorney argued her client was in the background in most of the incidents and was 30 feet away from the three women who were held up by Byers.
Deputy District Attorney Lucille Yturralde argued both men "acted together" in the robberies.
Rogers ordered both men to next appear in court on Nov. 6 when a trial date will be set. They have both pleaded not guilty.
Bail for Byers is set at $500,000 as he has a previous case and is accused of using a gun in one robbery, said Yturralde. Holland's bail is $150,000 and both remain in jail. Byers was also arrested July 24 by San Diego Police.

Forum Moderators: not2easy
Since October, we've been working to make this process easier for you. First we added group tagging, so you could type one name and apply it to multiple photos of the same person. Now we're announcing tag suggestions, which will make tagging multiple photos even more convenient.
Because photos are such an important part of Facebook, we want to be sure you know exactly how tag suggestions work: When you or a friend upload new photos, we use face recognition software—similar to that found in many photo editing tools—to match your new photos to other photos you're tagged in. We group similar photos together and, whenever possible, suggest the name of the friend in the photos.
If for any reason you don't want your name to be suggested, you will be able to disable suggested tags in your Privacy Settings.

The IBM SmartCamp competition was one of the proudest moments for Captain Dash, hands down. To be able to participate in such a prestigious and illustrious event, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, surrounded by intelligence and innovation- that was definitely a shining moment. Not to mention the amazing honor it was to win the People's Choice award in the competition. So it's no doubt that the Captain Dash founders were eager to share their reactions to the event.
It must come as no surprise that the founders absolutely loved New York. Who wouldn't, right? However what was truly interesting was their takeaways from the competition. Captain Dash received extraordinary advice from the wonderfully skilled and intelligent team of mentors. The advice that stuck out to them though, was to remember that being French, they tend to glaze over topics such as the finances of their company or the financial portion of their business plan. So one mentor said, "You guys aren't in France anymore, so don't be afraid of the tax man."
Advice received is an integral part of a successful start-up's lifecycle. But, as our serial entrepreneur founders can tell you, this business will also produce many tidbits of advice that can be passed down to new entrepreneurs hoping to build their own successful companies.
Our founders have this piece of advice to share - "Don't be afraid of falling. Just remember when you were learning how to walk; it was all of the falls you experienced that taught you how to walk tall and proud today."

Questions to Ask a Potential Fulfillment Partner #22
by Sarah Smith | eCommerce, eCommerce Fulfillment, Outsourced Fulfillment
How do I get a refund for late shipments?
Accuracy is a critical concern for any online retailer, especially those outsourcing their fulfillment. Even if you choose a fulfillment partner with a high rate of accuracy, mistakes can happen. When they do, it's important that the resolution process for any mistakes are clearly laid out and executed quickly. If a shipment is late, for example, would you have to fill out a form to get credit? If possible, look for a fulfillment provider that has an automatic accuracy guarantee, ensuring that you have an immediate resolution for late shipments.

Indian Technical & Economic Cooperation (ITEC)
Indian Technical & Economic Cooperation (ITEC) is an important pillar of India's bilateral relationship. The ITEC Programme, born out of the vision of India's first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru, was formally launched on 15 September 1964, as a bilateral programme of assistance of the Government of India, under the premiership of Lal Bahadur Shastri, the second Prime Minister of India The decision regarding setting up the ITEC programme was predicated on the underlying belief that "it was necessary to establish relations of mutual concern and inter-dependence based not only on commonly held ideals and aspirations, but also on solid economic foundations. Technical and economic cooperation was considered to be one of the essential functions of an integrated and imaginative foreign policy."
The ITEC Programme, fully funded by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, was an earnest attempt by India to share the fruits of its socio-economic development and technological achievement with 161 countries in Asia, Africa, East Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean as well as Pacific and Small Island countries including Belarus. ITEC has been the most important vehicle for sharing knowledge, skill and expertise with the rest of the world and has acquired a strong brand name in our development partnership. Beginning 1964, India has provided technical assistance of over USD 2.5 billion to developing countries. India spends over $12 million annually on varied ITEC activities. In 2013-14, over 10000 scholarship slots were offered under ITEC/SCAAP programme to 161 countries including Belarus.
Belarus- ITEC Programme
Belarus is one of the ITEC partner countries and the progress of ITEC Programme in Belarus is also very encouraging. Friendship and bilateral cooperation between India and Belarus have grown steadily over the years. Since 1993, Belarusian nationals have been participating to various courses under the ITEC programme. Over 290 experts and specialists from Belarus have benefitted from ITEC programme in diverse areas such as Information Technology, Management, Administration, Banking & Finance, Education & Human Resource Development, English Language, Journalism, Diplomacy, Entrepreneurship, Water Resource Development, Internet Security, Crime Management, Legislative drafting for foreign parliamentary and Government officials etc. A few ITEC Alumni occupy responsible positions in the Government of the Republic of Belarus.

Maintenance and cleaning will help support a carpet's durability and extend its beauty for many years. In some cases, regular and correct carpet cleaning is necessary to preserve the warranty on a carpet.
The homeowner is the first line of defense in carpet maintenance. Routine vacuuming coupled with rapid response to spots and spills is critical. Any spill is easier to address when it is fresh. Consult the website of the carpet manufacturer to get suggested treatments for various types of stains. For all carpet treatments, make sure you blot the spot; never scrub.
Even the most fastidious homeowners need professional help to keep carpet looking its best in the long term. For the pros, there are two effective types of carpet cleaning: hot water extraction (or "steam cleaning") and low moisture (or "dry cleaning").
Hot water extraction, sometimes called "steam cleaning," involves injecting hot water and detergents into the carpet and then vacuuming out the water, detergent, and soils with a powerful suction system. Extraction systems can be either portable or truck mounted.
Within the industry, truck-mounted systems are believed to offer the best results due to their superior vacuum strength; a truck-mounted system can recover up to 95 percent of the water used in the cleaning process. However, portable units are able to provide service to high-rise apartments and office buildings where truck-mounted units cannot go.
Dry carpet cleaning systems rely on a combination of dry compounds and application methods that allow for a faster drying time.
The Low Moisture Carpet Cleaners Association (LMCCA) defines Low Moisture Cleaning (LMC) on its website as follows:
LMC are methods and/or procedures that allow any fiber to dry to its natural state in two hours or less. For the purposes of standardizing criteria variables, we use 65% Rh and 70 degrees. This can be accomplished by using less moisture to clean, using absorbent mediums, using higher efficiency vacuums that efficiently extract water from the carpet, and by increasing the evaporation rate of the carpet by lowering the relative humidity of the environment where you are cleaning and by the use of air movers.
There are three types of processes professionals use that fall under the heading of dry cleaning methods for carpets.
Hiring the right professional can help restore the beauty of your carpet and improve your home's overall indoor air quality. It is important to hire professional cleaners with the equipment, training, and experience to serve your needs.
When looking for a cleaning professional:
There are some standard questions you should ask before deciding on a carpet cleaning company:
With regular maintenance and periodic professional cleaning, your home's carpets can be a beautiful and functional focal point in your rooms for years.

Protesters at Beale AFB decry treatment of alleged WikiLeaks figure Manning
Peace groups outside the main gate of Beale Air Force Base on Wednesday protested the treatment of the private suspected of handing secret reports over to WikiLeaks.
They also called on military personnel at the base to resist war and the use of drones.
Protesters from Veterans for Peace, CodePINK and other groups asked for "basic constitutional principles and human rights" be extended to Pfc. Bradley Manning.
Manning is suspected of downloading thousands of secret reports and diplomatic cables and handing them over to WikiLeaks.
The protesters encouraged members of the military at the base near Marysville to support Manning "for revealing the truth to the world community about the failed war of terror," said Toby Blome of CodePINK in a news release.
Manning is being held in solitary confinement at the Quantico Marine Base in Virginia on charges that could lead to a 52-year prison sentence.

It has been a ride…
Welcome to the 2nd quarter.
Here are things I've picked up so far…
1. Falling in love with the 'wrong' person hurts. Learnt I could be really jealousy and bitter against another person. Learnt to identify the emotion I'm going through at the moment and try to deal with it appropriately(emotional intelligence) … I learnt that hurt hurts. I'm learning to 'unlike' again.
And I'm learning to forgive…
The only one who can satisfy the heart truly is the One who made it
2. God is forever with me. I might not 'feel' it but I'm thankful we don't walk by our feelings if not it's straight to the Lagoon.
My Christian journey is that of faith. This life that I live now, I live by faith through Christ that loves me and gave Himself for me.
3. It isn't my works. I've been saved already. I should stop unconsciously relying on my works thinking that's what saved me.
4. I should rejoice more in the finished works of Christ.
5. I learnt to give more. To stop holding on to material things. Learning to start doing things out of love. Freely have I received, freely I should give…
6. I'm learning to be happy being a woman. An unashamed one, one proud of who she is knowing she's the apple of His eyes.
7. Resting in my Father's love. It's overwhelming and I think atimes(most times), who am I that you are this mindful even to the minute detail.
I can't wait for the plans Daddy has for me for this next season. Hopefully, I'll post more often. ✌✌✌

2009 Upper Deck Rack Packs
These have finally surfaced around here, where Sooz and myself live. This week was our first sightings of 2009 Upper Deck retail products. We each picked up a rack pack the other day and we both came away with air, as in nothing great. I remember last year you got at least one Yankee Stadium Legacy card in each rack pack, and neither one of us pulled one. We each got 2 Starquest Purple commons, mine were Vladimir Guerrero and Lance Berkman. I have no recollection of who she got, but they were not anyone either of us cared for. Sooz did get a Jeter base card that I am stealing since she had it already, and I got a Yankees team leaders card which she will get since Jeter is on it and I have it.
One thing Sooz noticed and wanted to write about, was that the packs no longer have see through backs. They are silver indicating no sneak peeks at what insert card you might get in them. (I am giving Sooz credit for the observation) I don't like that, I think half the fun of these was rummaging to find a Pujols or Jeter pack to buy. Now, I will not buy another one because I really have no interest in putting this set together. All of my cards are available for trade.
Stop back some time later when I show off the missing link...
4 comments:
I love these.... although the '09 baseball is still nowhere in sight.ReplyDelete
The '09 UD hockey still has the clear backs. And you are dead right. Half the fun is looking and finding a rack with one you need on the back.
- AnonymousFebruary 28, 2009 12:45 AM
They probably lost out on any sales to me. I'd usually look through them to see if I could spot any Mets inserts through the clear backs.ReplyDelete
I think that not being able to see the back really kills the idea of a rack pack. They're always been that way, that's really dumb if you ask me. THe reason they're doing that, I'm pretty sure, is that all of the wrappers have an Upper Deck U code inside them for some game online and they don't want people to get the code without buying it. Who cares about the code, I just bought a box of UD today and I didn't even look at the codes. It seems like a big waste of time.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 10, 2009 5:42 PM
09 ud series 2 hockey did not have the clear backs when i bought them, and trust me i opened 75+ of them this week......if you see some in your local targets buy as many as you can afford you will be quite surprisedReplyDelete

The heart of every business is its people. Without great employees, there won't be loyal customers that bring surefire profits to any business. That is why it is recommended to give incentives and rewards to motivate them to always be at their best. Here are some ways to appreciate your top performing employees:
Give them plaque or certificate of appreciation
This piece of paper works wonders especially if you want to boost the morale of your employee. Give this as you conclude your company meeting, townhall or huddle and you will see how this public recognition impacts your employees in a good way.
Offer group incentives for projects completed before deadline
You can give team outing, spa parties, exclusive movie showing and anything that your team is interested to do as a reward for a job well done.
Get suggestions and recommendations from employees themselves
All you need is to announce a system that your employees can follow so you can get suggestions from them. You can use the old suggestion box method or your company intranet for this purpose.
Do you have other suggestions on how to reward great employees?

Many, many employees around the globe suffer from the effects of stress and personal problems every single day. At best, they're minor worries that won't leave the back of our minds until they're fixed or stopped. At worst, they can completely jeopardize your role at work, an all consuming personal crisis that won't go away no matter how much you try.
So, if you're in this situation, what can you do to help you help yourself? If you feel like a personal problem or stress is affecting your job, health or the people around you, then you should act quickly. Things will only get better if you take steps to make them so, and this article will help set you on that path.

- Plan for the worst to remove that worry
If you are aware that personal issues outside work are denting your performance, then take steps to plan for if the worst should happen. You could be having a family issue, then you could be worrying on top of this because you think you may be fired or need time off.
So, as hard as it may seem, plan for that eventuality. Start putting some money away each week in a private bank account. Use this as your fund for a rainy day, and you'll take a load off your mind from thinking about it. If your job is dangerous, then this is especially important. If it's temporary, this is even more important! If you have that money to fall back on, you'll be less stressed.
- Join a program or consult with people with similar issues
Personal problems and stress don't have any benefits. That goes without saying, but it also doesn't mean there isn't a silver lining, or a light at the end of the tunnel. There absolutely is. There will always be people in the same situation as you, or professionals willing to help, and these can help you through a struggle.
There are support systems and support groups for virtually every kind of problem nowadays. People with drinking problems, drug problems, health problems or indeed, personal problems. Seeking counseling and aid, such as Health Assured's employee assistance solutions, gives you a way to fight the tough times. Consult with other employees who have been through a similar situation to you and ask for their advice. Even a quick search of Google can yield a lot of useful tidbits.

- Focus on removing outside worries from within the workplace
A reason why people worry in the workplace is because they're removed from the problem, and are powerless to cure it while stuck in the office. But, when thinking about it, shouldn't this be a good thing? If you concentrate on the fact that an outside, personal problem is just that, then you'll have a better time at work.
It's impossible to be combating issues and problems 24/7, so use work as your downtime. Use it to take your mind off the worries you have at home and focus on producing the best performance you can. Remember; when you're at work, you're at work! The problem will only be worsened if you have to take time off, or worse, become relieved. As the saying goes, life goes on, so try your utmost to make sure you separate your work and personal lives.
- Realize that life isn't perfect, and never will be
Everybody has personal problems at some point or another. Often, the solution to many of these problems is to overcome perfectionism.
This is that feeling that your life should be perfect and without fault, but in reality, life isn't. The boiler will break, the dog will make a mess on the floor, and you'll burn your toast. Your cat will jump on your bed when you're trying to sleep, your boss will annoy you, and the shop will be sold out of your favorite biscuit brand.
In short, there are so many little niggles that make up our daily lives. The absolute best thing you can do is embrace them, and laugh them off. In short, try and make the best of your personal problems. Try and find the light side, if any. Sometimes, the problem is worse than you are making it out to be. So stop giving it unnecessary attention.
Hopefully, this article has helped you somewhat. Personal problems and stress are not really things people like to discuss, but it's important that we address them head on and without mercy. Like most things in life, problems and worries are temporary and they will go away eventually. But, to speed the process along, we have to try and help ourselves as much as possible.

The College Water Efficiency group was formed in 2012 with a goal to learn technology, explore and share ideas of actual projects completed on college campuses (case studies) to reduce water use. The case studies are on a broad range of topics for both indoor and outdoor uses from landscape, water-energy programs, application and benefit of using GIS mapping, water and energy reductions from tray-less dining, to fixture retrofits (toilets, urinals, showerheads, faucets) and even campus water action plans, and campus water shortage management planning.
The group is unique in that it includes not only university members, but also water utility and electric utility as well as industry and consultant representatives. With all key parties represented it allows open communication and flow of ideas on how to create successful projects including actual technology installations and retrofits and funding mechanisms.
Over the past five years group has grown to over 120 members in 11 states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, New York, North Carolina, and Texas). The group meets every other month for 1 hour via phone conference call. If you are a university (public, private or community college), water utility, or energy utility, or a consultant and are interested in joining please contact Michelle Maddaus at Maddaus Water Management to obtain information about the group.
The group focuses on three main areas:

Here find my attempt at a DIY Infant HULK Costume, and it looked pretty damn cute (or at least I thought so!)….
- Green long-sleeved onesie (shirt would suffice as well)
- Green pants/leggings
- Purple pants/leggings
- White T-Shirt (optional – I have seen many do without the shirt and just have the green upper body <- that was our back-up plan)
I found most of the clothing articles on sales racks and waited for some coupons – 'cause really who wants to spend a fortune on baby clothes that you are just going to cut and rip? The green onesie I found actually was for a little girl and said princess on the front and the leggings had glitter polka-dots, but turning both the items inside out fixed that!
BONUS: all those layers will help keep those littles warm!
Now this was fairly simple… a little lining up and then cutting and ripping! I started by laying everything out to see how it all would fit together and from there cut the white shirt sleeves and the purple pant legs to a length I liked. From here I took the shirt and made a few small cuts around the end of the sleeve and then ripped upwards, sideways and every which way from the cuts. I repeated the same with the bottom of the pant legs. Once this was done, I layered everything back up over top of each other to agin see how it all sits, made a few more rips here and there and then started on the body. For the body I cut a small hole, just enough to get a rip started, on a few places across the body of the shirt and ripped outwards from the whole (so now you can see the green under shirt through) and again repeated the same for the pant legs…. and voila! you have a HULK costume!
Did you make a 'DIY' costume for your littles (or yourself) for Halloween? Do share!
Enjoy! AndreaDawn

The Wildland Adventures, an operator based in Seattle, has 5 reasons why it is a great time to visit Brazil.
According to Gretchen Traut, Latin American program director, this is the best time to visit this paradise in South America because from June through Sept. 18, during the Olympics, the visa is not required.
Although the Olympics are held in Rio de Janeiro, there are many other destinations in Brazil worth visiting. One of them is Bonito, a paradise with crystalline waters and colorful fish:
"They have these epically large colorful tropical-looking fish in these waters. The reason the rivers are so clear is because of the limestone. It completely filters everything out of the waters. They are perfectly clear. You can look into the waters and see fish. They have rappelling, caving, rafting, tubing all kinds of adventures sports in the area."

Farewell, ifoAppleStore: You will be missed/
On Friday, Gary Allen -- the brains behind the ifoAppleStore.com website -- wrote a farewell piece. After 14 years of providing the most detailed news about Apple Stores to readers and other bloggers, Allen has decided to move on.
Allen notes that back in 2001 when he started the site, "I was the only person studying the stores. In fact, most onlookers were skeptical of the stores' future success." But 14 years later, the retail outlets are a very big part of the Apple story around the world, and "Now, everyone is interested in the Apple stores -- and most of them also seem to be writing about the stores. Who am I to keep up with them?"
The "ifo" in ifoAppleStore means "in front of", and Allen was famous for joining the crowds in front of new Apple Stores to help celebrate -- and document -- the openings. All in all, Allen says he's visited 140 stores around the world, and in 2011 he drove cross-country to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first Apple Store in Tysons Corner, Virginia.
Both at TUAW and here at Apple World Today, we always looked forward to reading Gary Allen's insights on what was happening in Apple Retail, seeing video from another store opening, and getting the latest scoop on what far-flung global city was next to get an Apple Store. We wish Allen a happy "retirement" from writing for the site, and want to thank him for his hard work since 2001.

Happy Birthday
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. ~ William Shakespeare
Yesterday my mom was released from the hospital. It was extra special for her because it was her birthday, but it was an absolute joyous occasion for my family because three weeks ago we didn't know if she'd live to see this day.
She came home with quiet fanfare. No one greeted her at the house except my parents' dog Chelsea. She started barking, whining, and running around in circles at first sight through the curtains. Once inside, she continued and used the furniture as an obstacle course, running around for the next 5 minutes. After all of the hoopla, the dog pretty much ignored her for the rest of the day. Maybe it was her way of telling my mom that she felt abandoned. I thought it was strange. But isn't it funny how people say cats are moody? Huh.
My mom opened gifts and answered phone calls, ate some lunch and eventually had a nap. I really enjoyed watching her live this day. She was happy to be in her own surroundings and took pleasure in wearing her clothes (as opposed to the baby blue open back hospital gown), eating food she likes to eat, being able to open the fridge and drink whatever she wanted, and sit in her favorite chair to channel surf. She was genuinely content.
On the drive home she said, "It's funny the simple things we miss when we don't see them" and my dad asked what kind of thing was she referring to and her reply was "traffic". It sounded funny, but she was right. Something as simple as the regular route home, the familiarity of it all, is something we can miss.
I can't even imagine what this birthday would have been like if she hadn't had such a great team of doctors, nurses and staff. My mind can't even fathom what we would miss if she were gone. I am so grateful and so happy that she's alive and at home.
I think this will go down as one of the best birthdays ever!

Transitioning to a different gender or genders is hard. If you've done it, you probably feel the same way I do when you hear someone claiming that being transgender is a choice.
Who would ever choose to go through all this?
That's why it feels kind of threatening to hear about people detransitioning–that is, becoming transgender and then becoming not transgender. Doesn't that imply that they chose to be transgender, and then chose again? Or that being transgender is fake?
Spoiler alert for the rest of this post: no, it doesn't mean either of those things. But it does point out a big problem for any of us who identify as transgender, or at least something important we need to figure out: how do we tell the difference between a different gender identity and something else?
There's a terrific article on detransitioning on The Stranger: "The Detransitioners: They Were Transgender, Until They Weren't", and in it we can see at least three possible situations in which people detransition or go through "desistance" (when a person–usually a young person–hasn't transitioned yet and decides to go back to their birth sex instance).
Situation one is where a person receives so much negativity about their gender that they start feeling repulsed by it. That's what happened to "Jackie," who was born female and was always fairly butch, but was scorned for being that way and battered with mysogny. By contrast with that experience, being male felt like a relief … but Jackie eventually realized that even though being male felt better in some ways, it was really that she needed to accept herself as a woman. That was her particular circumstance.
"Ryan" had a similar experience from the other direction, being bullied and belittled as a young boy and finding refuge in the idea of being female. He transitioned to female, but this never addressed the internal problems, and eventually he detransitioned as well as he could back to male.
Both Jackie and Ryan seem to have mistaken bad feelings that had come to live inside them with dysphoria about their gender. This brings us to that big problem or thing we need to figure out if we're transgender: are the feelings we're following based on an experience of internally being another gender or genders, or are they about something else? In some cases, especially if those feelings are strongly negative and harsh toward ourselves, maybe they don't have to do with gender identity at all. In other cases, based on the experience of the huge majority of people who transition and feel much more themselves, they really do.
On to situation two: instead of being fooled about your own gender identity based on bad feelings, you could be fooled by good feelings or by identifying with peers. There's a very high percentage figure that has been offered that supposedly reflects how many kids who identify as another gender when young later come to identify with their birth sex. That figure may or may not be accurate, but what seems clear is that a lot of trans kids become cis* adults. In some cases, based on how transgenderism in kids can seem to spread, becoming trans might often come from feeling a closeness to or admiration for someone in your peer group. I mean, if some kid you know comes out as trans and becomes really famous in school, seems to be much happier, and is accepted by almost everyone (or even if they just stand out as unique and you feel like there's nothing unique about you), the idea of doing that same thing and standing out yourself can be really appealing. If you become really drawn to it and end up fooling yourself, who can tell you that you aren't actually transgender? Nobody, that's who, though there are good therapists who can help you figure yourself out.
That's the big problem with gender identity. We can't know exactly how any other person feels, and the way different people feel can be hugely different, so how can we know what it feels like to be male, or to be female, or to be both, or neither? We have to trust our own best instincts and question ourselves carefully: there's no other way. That's why a good therapist is so important to this process (and a bad therapist, or even a well-meaning but confused therapist, can cause so many problems). A good therapist can help a person know themself better.
I mentioned three situations, but the third may or may not be real. Maybe some people's genders actually change during the courses of their lives. Maybe, even completely ignoring the physical side of things, it's possible to be one gender for a time and then become another. This may be ironic coming from someone who you could meet as a woman one day and as a man the next, but I'm skeptical, or at least cautious, that fundamental gender identity can change. Being bi-gender means that you shift from one gender identity or the other, or hold a balance between the two, but in a larger sense your gender has the same composition over time. If you're bi-gender, both your genders are always with you: it's just that you may not embody or experience both of them at once all the time.
At the same time, I probably shouldn't be too skeptical. It's easier to imagine that every trans person has always been trans, even if that person doesn't start feeling trans until well into adulthood, as some trans people do, but this isn't really known, and if it's even possible to come to a conclusion about it, we won't come to anything definite soon.
This idea of changing gender identity over time pertains to bi-gender people in an unusual way, because it sometimes happens that a person identifies as bi-gender as a waystation to being "traditional" trans–but I'll take that up in another post.
*In case you're not familiar with the term, "cis" is short for "cisgender," which means "identifying with your sex assigned at birth." It's more or less the opposite of "trans".

Emerald, pp. 49-67. ISBN 978-0857246516 [Book section]

This chapter investigates two different uses of social networking sites (SNSs) within the same higher education institution. One was used as a means of communicating with students whilst they were still making their study choices, whereas the second aimed to create a medium for student interaction before they arrived at university. Whilst both attempts had some degree of success the setting up of the SNSs, dissemination, and control of content were not without their difficulties. Having outlined the theory behind SNSs, the chapter then highlights both the rationale behind the decision to use them and the experience of both users. It then describes how lessons learnt led to changes being made in the following year, before concluding by providing some recommendations for others looking to try similar techniques.

BMW recalls 1,559 vehicles in China to replace reflectors
BMW will recall 1,559 imported vehicles in China starting Friday to fix problems with the rear reflectors.
The recall involves BMW 5 series vehicles manufactured between January 30, 2013 and June 29, 2013, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
The reflectors may not reflect enough light in the dark, making them hard to see and leading to potential safety hazards.
BMW suggested drivers park their cars under lights at night and contact car dealers as soon as possible.
The company will replace the defective reflectors free of charge.
Last month, BMW announced it would recall more than 86,000 imported X5 and X6 vehicles in China due to a problem with the drive shaft.
Global and Chinese automakers recalled 4.49 million defective vehicles in the first five months of this year, compared with 11.34 million in all of 2016.

How to save money when booking a family holiday
Holidays are not cheap. Fact. Read on for Mumsnetters' top travel booking tips to help you save on family hols
1. You need to go undercover to grab a bargain
If you've found your perfect holiday, it's WELL worth bobbing on to another
device before you hit the 'buy' button. Sometimes a 'new' customer gets a lower
price - so if you've researched on your phone/tablet, login via a desktop to
make the final purchase, or vice versa. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings to remove any trace of your search, for the same result.
2. Book right now. RIGHT now.
As tempting as it is, if you have a specific date you want to travel on, need a specific room set-up, or if only a certain cottage will do, don't mess around. Book flights as soon as they go on sale - especially for low cost carriers, as these only ever go up in price.
3. Or, play it cool
On the other hand, if you don't need to fly after lunch on a Sunday and are happy with whatever room is available, then hold your nerve and leave it a little longer. Not too late, mind - you want to be looking about three months in advance, just as travel companies start to panic about all the stuff they still have to sell.
4. Just never book flights on a Friday
Industry experts recently pin-pointed Friday as the day airlines hike their fares, so avoid booking then if you can help it. Booking on a Sunday or at the start of the week is a good bet to nab the cheapest tickets <taps nose>.
5. Points *do* make prizes
Tesco, Nectar, flight loyalty cards et al, can all be used on travel purchases so use these to help spread the costs.
6. Mix business with pleasure
For weekend travel, business hotels are where it's at. You won't necessarily be in the heart of the action, but you're often just a short metro/cab ride away. Standards can be high and savings significant.
7. Wednesday: it's the new Friday
A quick nosey at ferry crossings to France reveals that midweek fares in August are almost 50% cheaper than weekend departures. Flights too, are typically cheaper between Tuesday and Thursday, with the earliest flights in the day achieving peak bargainosity. It might seem a faff if you work Monday to Friday - but travelling mid-week can save you loads, if you can arrange your accommodation and annual leave to suit.
8. Watch out for the sneaky extras
Do go through your booking with an eagle eye and check you've not been charged for optional extras you don't need (or do need but don't need to buy from the airline). We're looking at you in-flight meals, speedy boarding and travel insurance <un-ticks boxes>.
9. Avoid the Brits
10. Do visit Mumsnet discounts first - natch
We've secured some great exclusives for you including Mark Warner, Hoseasons, Butlins and Cottages.com. You're welcome.
