Titan International Inc. Research Report
On November 25, 2013, Titan International Inc. (Titan) announced its management goals for 2014. Following is an excerpt of Titan's Chairman and CEO, Maurice Taylor's statement on the management goals, "In the past few years Titan International has gone from a North American farm wheel and tire manufacturer to a worldwide manufacturer in farm tires and wheels. We have also become a big player in the construction of mining wheels, tires and tracks. The revenue goal for 2014 is set at $2.4 to $2.7 billion US dollars, assuming no further acquisitions. EBITDA goals are $240 million to $270 million. These figures presume pricing and material costs remain flat in 2014. In 2013, Titan saw pricing drop due to material decreases across all products. Titan forecasts maintenance Cap Ex to be approximately $70 million in 2014. All managers' bonuses will be based on reaching the above goals. Incentives are in place to improve the bottom line. There are currently four acquisitions for which Titan is performing due diligence. If we complete these acquisitions, the maximum additional revenue would be approximately $500 million. We have posted several Titan YouTube videos of our LSW tire performance in the field. Titan's LSW tires are shown going head to head with CNH Quadtrac and Deere's track tractor. LSW tires beat the track tires and the fuel savings was an added benefit to the farmers. Tractors were able to save approximately 3-5 gallons per hour with the LSW tires. As a farmer would say, hard work and patience will pay off. We encourage our shareholders to view these videos to illustrate one of Titan's innovative concepts."

From the UK. Goalball is the only team game for visually impaired female athletes in the Paralympics.
From the Women's Blog, Guardian News
If you are a blind or visually impaired woman wanting to play a team sport in Great Britain, then good luck to you. For years Georgie Bullen was told she was no good at sport by her PE teachers. It was only a chance try-out for a Paralympic talent-identification day that allowed the then teenager to be discovered in a sport she had never even heard of: goalball. The Paralympic sport, played blindfolded and in silence, subsequently changed Bullen's life both personally and professionally.
"Because I went to mainstream school I was the only VI [visually impaired] person at my school," says the 20-year-old. "If I didn't have goalball I wouldn't even know anyone else who was VI or blind. We bonded over our experiences, like when people realise you're visually impaired and they say, "Oh, that's a such a shame because you're so pretty.""
Goalball gave Bullen the confidence to form relationships and become a leader. The Hertfordshire athlete helped Team GB make history by reaching the quarter finals at London 2012. That result led to the announcement that the women's team would be given £1m to help them on their journey to Rio 2016. "We went from being the worst-funded British Paralympic sport, to this huge increase. We got new staff on board. But with one bad result at the Europeans, UK Sport decided to take away all our funding. We went from £1m to nothing at all."
UK Sport says that its decision was based on a meritocratic system – "Sports that could not demonstrate a trajectory towards medal success had funding withdrawn" – though the situation is reviewed on an annual basis. Tim Hollingsworth, CEO of the British Paralympic Association, says they have tried to support goalball in other ways, selecting it to be part of National Paralympic Day at the Olympic Park on 30 August where Team GB will play in the Copper Box arena. "It was a conscious strategy to raise the sport's profile. Within the Games it is the only team sport for VI women, the differentiator being that for men there's also the opportunity to play VI football. I'm not aware of any substantive move for that to change."

one thing i love about blogging, we can inspired each other.
this time i was inspired by a blogger from Germany, Carmen from Clothes and Camera
she done a lot of nail art and i love read her posts.
since i can only done nail arts once in a month, so this time i was going all out.
using a nail art pack from The Face Shop, i was using the yellow as basic color and after it dry, i put sticky tape and using the red to make a strip effect.
Feels like Christmas coming (way to) early this year :)

UK Football
Kentucky's veterans, stars not taking it easy on newcomers
UK football veteran Denzil Ware says true freshman should be trying to take his job
There has been a subtle shift for Kentucky football in the last season or so.
Go to a practice — like the open practice for fans on Saturday morning after Fan Day — and the loudest voices aren't the coaches anymore.
There was junior cornerback Derrick Baity on the sidelines barking orders to the younger defensive backs about where to be and what was coming.
There was junior wide receiver Kayaune Ross, just minutes after making a contested catch in the end zone, offering a better technique to a freshman.
"It's all about communication," senior wideout Dorian Baker said. "If I see something and I'm not in the game, I still gotta call it out. That's going to help another receiver who's in the game. That's what we've really been harping on."
Junior outside linebacker Denzil Ware has taken that "harping" to a whole new level.
"We hold everybody accountable," he said of the younger players. "We're always willing to help anybody, everybody. … We're getting them in the playbooks early, just chewing them out. We're hard on them just like we're hard on one another."
Take freshman newcomer Josh Paschal. From the first day this offseason, Ware pulled Paschal aside and said he needs to do whatever he has to do to steal Ware's starting spot.
"I told him from day one, if you're not looking to take my job, then you're not working hard, you're not giving it everything you've got, then I can't be your friend and I can't call you my teammate," Ware said on Saturday.
"At the end of the day, I only hang around with people who give it everything they got on this field because that's what I do. If I see him not trying to take my spot —take my job —then I'm on him."
It's a shift from just a couple of years ago when Ware arrived, he said. The veterans now are acting like leaders.
"Older guys weren't talking to me like that," he said of when he was a freshman. "But I want to win. If (Paschal) is the better man, or I'm the better man, the best gonna play. I just wanna win, even if I gotta sit in the passenger seat and let him drive."
There's more competition, accountability and leadership at almost every spot now, which is big for his football team, Coach Mark Stoops said after practice.
"There's very little selfishness going on," Stoops said. "There's guys they know they're competing for their jobs and still trying to help them. It's about the team. … This team they're taking it. They're taking the medicine, they want to be better. It's important to them."
'We trust the plays'
Quarterbacks Stephen Johnson and Drew Barker looked strong in the open practice, but they got a lot of help from the wide receivers, who made some impressive grabs with only one questionable drop all afternoon.
Baker, a senior wide receiver, noted confidence and a familiarity with the offense being big factors.
"It's our second year under the same offensive coordinator and the same coaches, so for us to be comfortable with the playbook, it just has a different feel," he said. "We trust the plays; we trust each other."
Stoops also noticed that the wide receivers seemed especially on for the crowd on Saturday, but the former defensive coordinator had a slightly different take.
"It was good to see some competitive plays today," he said. "Guys that were covered and they forced it in there and made good plays. I'd like to see us win some more defensively, some contested plays. But it is good to see them throwing and catching, yes."
As for the quarterbacks, Johnson appeared in command of the offense, including making a pretty, designed quarterback run in 11-on-11. He also found tight end C.J. Conrad for at least two short passes in the middle of the field (a play they struggled on a bunch last season).
"Stephen looks sharper making the routine plays look routine, throwing and catching," Stoops said.
As for Barker, coming back from season-ending back surgery, he had zip on passes all over the field and was less tentative than he was in the spring during his recovery.
"He looks very confident and stronger, can make all the throws again," Stoops said of the junior. "The last time I saw him he wasn't the same as he is now. It's really nice to see him out there strong, confident and just going through practice."
Catching coach's eye
There were specific names mentioned from the 2017 class that clearly had Stoops excited after the open practice, including Josh Paschal, a 6-foot-3, 270-pound outside linebacker who didn't look like a player roaming the halls of his high school a couple of months ago.
And he doesn't sound like a guy heading for a redshirt season.
"Very good football player," Stoops said of the player, who is working primarily at the jack linebacker spot (hybrid defensive end), but might be moved around. "What's great about Josh is, he has a lot of things going for him. … Football's very important to him. He's in here all the time, he's taking care of his body, he's lifting, he's running, and he's got instincts. He's definitely gonna be a guy that plays as well."
One of the Cats' biggest question marks going into the season is defensive line play. At least one true freshman appears ready to help right away in Quinton Bohanna (6-4, 320 pounds).
"I'm pleased with what he can do athletically," Stoops said. "He's a big, strong guy. He's tough. It's very important to him. He has shown up. He definitely will be a guy that we're gonna start forcing into the two-deep."
On wide receivers Josh Ali and Isaiah Epps: "They've been strong; they've been very good. They're what we're looking for. They're guys who can run; they make competitive plays."
While the media was busy singling out freshmen that made plays on Saturday, Stoops mentioned how pleased with the group as a whole a week into camp. "The whole freshman class, I've been pleased with. Very conscientious. They work. Football's important to them. They're competitive, so I've been pleased."
News and notes
It was his first full practice with his new teammates, which meant limited work for recently cleared wideout Lynn Bowden, but he was back with the group of punt returners, which included Charles Walker, Sihiem King, Josh Ali and Garrett Johnson.
That spot belonged to Walker last season, who was fifth in the Southeastern Conference averaging 7.8 yards a return with one touchdown. The former walk-on from Louisville had a crazy catch in team drills that had the crowd cheering.
"He's hard to cover," Stoops said of Walker. "He makes competitive catches and he goes hard every day. You've gotta love Charles and the way he competes."
As for Bowden, the return game might be one place where he can come in and help right away as he wades into the playbook, the head coach said. The freshman from Youngstown who was cleared to begin practicing late Friday had one individual workout before Saturday's live action.
"We've got to bring him along," Stoops said. "He's missed some days. He can't install everything. Nobody can handle that, so we've got to go to day one install and feed him a little bit, yes."
▪ After six practices in seven days, there are a couple of players banged up, Stoops said. Specifically cornerback Derrick Baity wore a boot on his left ankle, which has a minor sprain. Linebacker Eli Brown is battling a hamstring injury.
▪ A university events worker helping with crowd control collapsed late in the practice after becoming overheated. Practice stopped briefly and Stoops went over to check on him. An athletics department spokesman said the worker was treated by the medical staff on site and is expected to be fine.

Cover Reveal for WORTH THE EFFORT: ELLA'S STORY
Hi everyone! My name is Kai Strand. I'm visiting Katie's blog today to share the cover of my upcoming young adult contemporary romance novella, out next month. I'm super excited. After you read the blurb and excerpt, and see the great cover, I hope you will become excited too. Thanks for reading!
About the book:
Ella Jones is a coward. There is a teen boy living in the alley behind her work and she is terrified of him.
Desperate to leave behind the stereotypical and judgmental world she was raised in, Ella forces herself to make a true connection with seventeen-year-old Ayden Worth. As their friendship grows Ayden's quiet, gentle ways teach her true courage.
But there's more to Ayden's story than Ella knows. When their worlds collide in the most unexpected place, Ella feels betrayed. Will she find the courage to learn who Ayden really is, or will she determine he's not worth the effort?
My heart accelerated to a terrifying pace as my unwanted visitor stepped into the light—rumpled, dirty clothing, shaggy hair, head down, concentrating on the ground. As he approached, I still couldn't move. I don't know if it was some misplaced politeness—that I didn't want to cause him embarrassment by showing my petrifying fear of him—or if I was afraid my fleeing would kick start a predator instinct inciting him to give chase. I'm still bothered by the fact that I couldn't make myself run away.

To know a love so wonderful has been the greatest gift we could ever have received.

Diana Bowers, Graduate Art History and Library Science Student
From the moment we arrived in Venice, we never had a dull moment. Just walking or taking the vaporetto around the city felt like an adventure in itself, and I found my head swiveling eagerly in every direction on the vaporetto ride from the train station. Our first few days were a whirlwind as we began to try to get to know the inimitable city of bridges. We crossed one campo after another, turned down a new calle every day, and slowly began to feel like we were home. By the end of our six weeks of study, we were navigating our own little corners of Venice like pros—while still being astonished at the sheer number of nooks and crannies in the city with which it would take a lifetime to become familiar.
It felt like a dream to attend class in a stone palazzo, overlooking the lagoon and feeling sea breezes drift through our Art History lectures and Italian classes at the Università Internazionale dell'Arte. Equally surreal was conducting research at the Cini Library in the monastery at San Giorgio Maggiore, a soaring, clean and modern space that still incorporates its original seventeenth-century reading room. Inevitably, tourists would try to follow us through the wrought-iron gates, only to be turned away without the requisite library card. A similar situation would occur at the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, directly across from the Doge's Palace. Experiences like these helped us to feel like locals.
In the same vein, I loved ducking down a small side alley away from the bustling traffic of Strada Nova, a large thoroughfare in the Cannaregio district, to find the peaceful Scuola Grafica where Pratt in Venice holds its printmaking course. After studying fifteenth-century illustrated books in the Marciana's Rare Book Room, I could go to printmaking class and use an antique press similar to the ones that had made those beautiful volumes. The studio coursework provided an invaluable layer of understanding to my art historical studies, and working with my hands after long hours in the library brought immense satisfaction.
Much of our courses were held on-site at locations all around Venice and the Veneto. Climbing up under the conservation scaffolding at San Sebastiano, visiting the San Marco mosaic workshop, standing just a few feet from the blazing hot furnace at the Orsoni mosaic factory—these are experiences we never could have had without the Pratt in Venice program. The mosaics at San Vitale in Ravenna, the Veronese frescoes at Villa Barbaro, and Giotto's Arena chapel in Padua are some examples of the wonderful things we saw outside of Venice as well. In addition, being in Venice during the Biennale was exciting and stimulating. We capped our experience with the annual Feast of the Redeemer, following in the footsteps of centuries of Venetians as we crossed the Giudecca canal on its massive temporary bridge.
Every day during the Pratt in Venice program brought both new challenges and new pleasures. It is an experience I am sure will influence all of our lives indelibly for years to come.

The Skyrail Rainforest Foundation was officially launched on Thursday 29th September 2005 by the Hon Fran Bailey MP, Federal Minister for Small Business and Tourism, and Dr Ken Chapman, Chief Executive Officer of Skyrail-ITM.
Entered on the Australian Government's Register of Environmental Organisations, the Skyrail Rainforest Foundation's primary objective is to raise and distribute funds to support tropical rainforest research and education projects.
The Foundation's vision is: 'The protection of tropical rainforests worldwide through sound management, understanding and appreciation through research and education'.
'The Foundation will raise money to fund rainforest research to better understand and manage tropical rainforest ecosystems, and also education and communication to improve understanding, appreciation, management and protection of the rainforest,' he said.
Distribution of the funds raised will be controlled by the Foundation's Public Fund Management Committee, which includes representatives from James Cook University (JCU), the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Minister for Small Business and Tourism, Fran Bailey MP, said the Skyrail Rainforest Foundation was a testament to Skyrail's commitment to tropical rainforests.
'Skyrail has demonstrated how the tourism industry can promote an appreciation of Australia's magnificent biodiversity and natural assets; whilst maintaining the protection that is afforded to this World Heritage area,' Ms Bailey said.
'I'm delighted to be here ' recognising and commending the efforts of a truly dedicated nature tourism operator,' she said.
The Foundation was launched in association with the 10th anniversary of Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, which began operating on 31st August 1995. In celebration of the Foundation's official launch, Skyrail Rainforest Cableway made a $150,000 donation to the Foundation.
Dr Chapman said Skyrail would continue to support the Foundation: 'Skyrail Rainforest Cableway will have an ongoing and underpinning commitment to the Foundation; a percentage from the sale of merchandise in Skyrail's Retail Stores will be donated to the Foundation,' he said.
Individuals and corporations can support the Skyrail Rainforest Foundation by making a tax deductible donation, or by applying to become members. Membership is $30 per annum or $120 for five years; individual members receive a range of benefits including 50% discount on Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, 20% discount at Skyrail's Retail Stores, an exclusive Membership Card and quarterly Foundation E-Newsletters.
'By becoming a member of the Skyrail Rainforest Foundation, you will not only receive a great range of benefits at Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, you will also be making a real contribution to the understanding and preservation of tropical rainforests worldwide,' he said.

Fancy yourself a free vacation? All you have to do is find this Vancouver woman a fiance.
Fed up with Vancouver's oft-derided dating scene, as well as matchmaker websites and apps, a local woman set up a "dating incentive program" website to encourage others to find her a special someone.
She has chosen to remain "slightly anonymous," but she describes herself as "funny, fit, attractive" as well as "very ambitious." The 29-year-old has her "sh*t together" and wants someone she can settle down with.
"Currently, I am at the point where I am not looking to 'date' anymore, rather I am looking for someone that will hopefully lead to a serious relationship," she writes.
"A match for me would be with a man who has those same values and understands commitment and loyalty to their partner."
There are three levels of incentives for people interested in setting her up.
If she and your match go on five successful dinner dates, you get a $250 prize pack "of your favourite things." If the two of them have "the talk" and become exclusive, you'll get level two: a $500 prize pack.
And if your match proposes to her and she is "in possession of a diamond ring," you'll get a $2,000 destination vacation package for one.
She even lists criteria so that you know what she's looking for (someone between the ages of 29 and 40, who has a broad build and a good sense of humour, for example).
For her, spending money on these incentives is better than what she's paid in dating profile subscription fees and matchmaking service fees.
"I feel like my efforts and money would be better spent getting personal referrals from friends and friends of friends," she writes. "I am happy to then reward those people with incentives and gifts as a win / win solution for everyone."

Over the last three years, the name Server Room has completely vanished.
Today most of the traditional server rooms have evolved in size, complexity,
capacity, reliability, features and cost. To say it in one word, they have
evolved into Data Centers. But with the increase in complexity, managing them
efficiently has also become a challenge. However, to make things easier, quite a
few technologies have come up.
Remote Management
The biggest change being observed in data centers is that they don't
require physical presence of people. Remote management technologies have become
so popular, that you can perform just about every management task remotely.
Today even when you outsource your data center management to a third party, they
do most of the management remotely. While there are many ways of doing remote
management, two technologies deserve mention:
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP): RDP has been there since the days of
NT4, in the form of Terminal services. But it became popular with masses, when
RDP features were integrated in Windows XP. Now it is widely used for remotely
accessing desktops. The protocol consumes very less bandwidth by sending KVM
signals alone over the network, giving you a feel of using the machine locally.
Today, we have tools in Windows 2003 to access hundreds of RDP machines over the
network simultaneously. We even have RDP clients for Linux or MAC, making it
truly platform independent.
IPKVM: KVMs are pretty old and popular. But traditional KVMs have a
limitation that you have to be physically present in the data center to use
them. With IP-based KVMs, you can access multiple servers from anywhere in the
world over the Internet. They allow multiple computers to be controlled remotely
across a LAN or WAN using TCP/IP over either a web browser or a specially
designed viewer. This is better than using RDP, because the software part is
completely removed from the server side. So you can access any OS over IPKVM. In
fact, you can go to the BIOS level and configure machines remotely. Other
benefits are failsafe and manageability.
Data Center Markup Language (DCML) is an XML based language used to
make different components of the data center talk to each other. Suppose you
have a virtualization layer running on your consolidated data center and you
need to provision different servers for different tasks. After a task is
accomplished, you need to decommission it. So, whenever you create a new virtual
server, all data is immediately sent to the data center management and
monitoring console. This data will include the IP address of the machine,
applications running, configuration and specs, and the contact person. So,
without any human intervention, the management and monitoring console will be
able to add this server into its list and start monitoring it. But the challenge
here is to send information from the virtual server to the monitoring sever.
This issue is tackled by DCML standards.
Disaster Recovery and BCP
Any discussion on data centers is incomplete without this topic. DR has been a
trend for a long time, but now BCP is more important as that's ultimately the
goal of doing DR. We've discussed it at length ina separate section in this
cover story.
Blade Servers and Multi-Core
Blades have been around long enough, and therefore don't need any explanation.
But with their costs coming down, and with new enterprise IT requirements like
HPC, more data centers are going to need them. Likewise, with the introduction
of multi-core processors on the x86 platform this year, server densities in the
data center are going to shoot up like anything. These technologies will shoot
up the compute capabilities of data centers like never before.
Power and Cooling
The key reason this becomes important is the rising density of equipment in the
data center. Technologies l ike blades and multi-core not only pack huge amounts
of computing power in very low space, they also result in tremendous heat
generation in the data center. Therefore, you need appropriate cooling solutions
to handle it. Today, most major power conditioning equipment companies have
transitioned into becoming physical infrastructure management companies. Two
prominent examples of this are APC and Emerson. Both offer not only UPSs, but
also racks, power, and cooling solutions. Moreover, they offer solutions to
remotely monitor and manage all their power and cooling equipment.
Server Racks
Believe it or not, but there's a lot of engineering that goes into server racks,
so choosing the right one for your data center requires careful planning. To
explain the case, we'll take a simple example of cooling from above. Many
cooling solutions end up cooling the overall data center, so that the entire
area becomes cool. As a result, you need warm clothes just to enter the data
center. This is not right, because the actual objective is to cool servers and
other equipment inside racks. You don't need cooling outside. This where a
well-engineered rack comes in. Many rack vendors have worked out rack solutions
that do just this. They don't let out the cooling from the racks, and ensure
that cooling is done where it needs to be done. One company that comes to mind
for this is President, which has racks that let you do this.

10 GbE
10 Gigabit Ethernet is the fastest Ethernet standard available till date. This
provides ten times the speed of a standard Gbps network. The good thing is that
it has been tested on both Fiber and copper. The latter will help data centers
have high bandwidth at a low cost. 10G adds a sub-layer in the PHY (physical)
layer of the OSI model, and uses a different encoding scheme (64/66b) for better
error rate detection during data transfer. Plus, it supports full duplex
transmission only. As 10G becomes more popular, several applications could use
the extra bandwidth like video on demand, distributed computing, HPC
deployments, medical imaging, and scientific simulation. Enterprises can set up
buildings at larger distances within a campus and link them. This will
facilitate bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP and digital video
conferencing. Enterprises can locate their data centers, disaster recovery
centers in a different city and yet get faster access. The cost of moving from
Gigabit to 10 Gigabit will be two to three times more, but the performance gain
might make it worth the effort. The cost of 10G products is expected to
Cat 7 cabling
The use of Cat 7 or category 7 cables is another emerging trend in data centers.
It's essentially the latest and fastest Ethernet cabling standard, which gives
full backward compatibility to 10/100/1000 Mbps networks. As network backbones
are moving from 1Gbps to 10Gbps, Cat 7 is going to be used rapidly, because it's
the only cabling standard in copper that supports such high-speed data
transfers. The other option for 10G is fiber. But if you're planning to deploy
fiber then the biggest problem will be the loss of backward compatibility. And
you have to build a new cabling infrastructure for your organization. But there
is one limitation in Cat 7 over Fiber. With Fiber you can connect two end-points
within a distance of 45 Km, but while using copper you can go only upto 100 mtrs.
So, if you are planning to build a MAN, then there is no option other than going
for fiber; but if you are talking about connecting LAN devices, then Cat7 would
be the best possible option.
Managed structured cabling
This is another key trend in structured cabling today. As data centers become
more complex with more equipment coming in, you need something like this to
manage the connectivity. It is a real-time Layer-1 management system for
networks. Such an intelligent system consists of an end-to-end structured
cabling system with intelligent patch panels and software agents that provide a
complete view of physical layer connectivity and connect it to logical layers.
It collects real-time information used to automatically maintain database
connectivity, and is capable of presenting data in a compressed format, enabling
administrators to troubleshoot and document the network efficiently. You can for
example, immediately trace broken links and rectify them. Being real time, the
system allows admins to resolve all issues quickly. When this is coupled with
today's manageable switches the efficiency increases tremendously. As a result
the admin will not only be able to find and manage SNMP enabled devices from a
central location but also be able to check for data patterns running through the
network. With the growth of multi-location office and large and multiple campus
areas, the importance of properly managing network resources has become very
important and Intelligent calling lets you do this.

This blog uses GraffitiCMS as the blogging engine. This software has now been open-sourced by the original developers, Telligent, and is available on CodePlex. Although it's pretty full-featured and does most of what I want and need from a blogging engine (and has lots of features I don't use) there is no built-in support as yet for providing a special view for mobile devices.
Consequently, when you view the site on an iPhone, say (since this is what I use as a mobile phone), it displays the wide full look (currently 3 columns across) in a much shrunken form. Better would be to display the site in a single column and — even better — to not display the full text of the usual 10 articles shown on the front page. So, this week, after helping sort out some Medium Trust issues one of the patches had introduced (and that had left my site in a bit of a fragile state), I set out trying to find a way to create a special view of the site for the iPhone.
The first hint was a package called Graffiti Extras. It's available on CodePlex at version 1.3, but hasn't been updated for about 18 months. It contains a plug-in called Mobile Theme Selector. Put simply, this plug-in installs itself into GraffitCMS and, when a request is detected and the user agent string passed by the browser indicates a mobile device, the code switches the theme for the request. The theme switched to is one you write in the normal manner — views and CSS files — but that is optimized for a mobile device.
Sounds simple enough, and I set it up, but it didn't work. I'd connect with my iPhone and still got the usual full view. Meh.
I looked at the code: in essence, in order to identify a mobile device, all that happens is that the user agent string is tested to contain "IEMobile" (presumably for Windows Mobile devices) or that the
Browser object's
IsMobileDevice returns true. Well, I knew the first would fail, but the second?
if ((HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("IEMobile") > -1) || (HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice)) { GraffitiContext.Current.Theme = MOBILETHEMENAME; ... }
Time to investigate
IsMobileDevice; surely it should recognize the iPhone?
It turns out, apart from some default behavior,
IsMobileDevice uses an external definitions file in order to decide whether the user agent string identifies a mobile device. And, lo, that definitions file is also on CodePlex (here).
Once you download it, you should extract the
mobile.browser file and place it in the
/App_Browsers/Devices folder of your web application (if the folder doesn't exist yet, create it). Restart your application (in my case, that's GraffitiCMS) and you should find that the iPhone is recognized as a mobile device.
Next time, I'll talk about what needs to be done in order to display a page optimized for the iPhone.

Dispute resolution often fails to get to the heart of the issue, and only results in enriching the legal profession. In the first of a series of articles, Norman Younger argues it's time for accountants to get a slice of the action.
Mediation. It's a word many people will hear with increasing frequency in the coming years, especially accountants. That's because the penny is finally dropping as people in all walks of life 'get' that there are ways of settling disputes that don't involve enriching the profession.
And the traditional approach to resolving disputes often doesn't actually resolve the real problem at the heart of the dispute. So step forward mediation, and instead of the lawyer, now it's time for the accountant to get a slice the action. Let me explain with real-life examples.
He and she, let's call them Jack and Jill, fell in love. They then made the even bigger mistake of getting into business together. It was a good business model per se, which Jack had successfully operated in a different location. Jack invested 30% of the cash, Jill put up 70%, total investment being £500k. Jack gave over know-how and expertise in setting up and operating the business. They are both 50% shareholders and directors of the new company set up to operate in the second location.
After the business was up and running, Jill's affection waned and she threw Jack out - from the house, not the business. So now Jack and Jill are equal shareholders and directors of a business but they cannot agree on either one buying the shares of the other. In fact, they cannot agree on anything, and Jack subsequently presents Jill with a list of demands with the threat of walking away from the company with the implicit result being the failure of the enterprise.
Some of the demands are reasonable but others are outrageous, such as his insistence that his original know-how and expertise be recognised as a loan to the company with a value of £150,000, to be repaid in cash.

It is clear to all neutral observers that the real problem here is not a point of law or of contractual obligations, but of a romantic relationship that has gone badly wrong. If both sides were to involve lawyers they would only be exacerbating the problem, because the lawyers would be arguing about phantom issues that are disguising the real ones.
Does this story sound familiar? The circumstances may be different, but the basic scenario is repeated almost daily up and down the country.
Well-meaning individuals have a good business idea, set up a company and start working towards the holy grail of untold riches. At this stage in the game, they are full of enthusiasm, optimism, and goodwill, both thinking that this blissful state will last happily ever after.
However, as it invariably happens, things start to go wrong. One partner thinks they are working harder or contributing more to the bottom line than the other; they disagree on the direction and development of the company; they don't see eye-to-eye on remuneration; one partner decides to pull out and they need to value the business and shares.
These problems, and myriad others, afflict almost all partnerships, shareholders and boardrooms.
So when is the law the correct option? I don't have a hard and fast rule, but the general scenario would be where Party A has a claim/demand against Party B, and Party B rejects or denies the claim. In this scenario, there is no 'dispute', as there is only one party at the table. In such circumstances, it may well take a letter from m'learned friends to bring the other party to the table.
However, even in this situation, once battle has commenced it is still not too late to mediate. In all likelihood, when the Party B sees that Party A is serious about their grievance, they will more than likely want to mediate to find a resolution.
In most situations in the SME world, the law should be the last option. Not just because the real issues are deflected into legal arguments, but because of the time and cost implications of the legal process. The law is ponderous, complex and expensive, with lawyers being trained in an adversarial context.
Many businesses leave serious problems to fester because they can't afford the costs associated with saying 'Good morning, how do you do?' to a lawyer. And no business can really afford the distraction and disturbance of dealing with legal proceedings.
In one mediation, which ironically was between the partners of a law firm who had fallen out, I asked each party how much the dispute had cost in cash terms. I then asked them how many hours they had spent on the dispute. When they added the cost of their charge-out rate for the hours spent on the dispute rather than with paying clients, the true cost of the dispute quadrupled.
Mediation is quick and cost-effective. A mediation can be booked within days of the initial inquiry, and the overwhelming majority of mediations result in a successful outcome within one working day spent mediating.
Mediation is also entirely risk-free. To explain: In both litigation and arbitration, the final award/decision is made entirely by the judge/arbitrator, with the parties having no control over that decision. In a mediation, the parties themselves design a tailor-made solution to their dispute. This always involves compromise and sacrifice on both sides, but it has the advantage of both parties being in control of the outcome and negotiating a settlement that they can both move forward with. Alternatively, they can walk away prior to signing a legally binding agreement.
That is why mediation is a growth industry, particularly with small businesses, and accountants should be looking take a chunk of the action.
In almost all cases, any accountant worth their salt would know early on that there is a problem brewing. Accountants are one of the primary sources of trusted business advice and guidance for their clients. Almost every commercial mediation will require some sort of financial input or business nous from the parties' accountants, who can also attend the mediation.
You can add great value to your client's business by adding insight into dispute resolution to your advice portfolio. You will save your clients a lot of headache and frustration, and earn the kudos and credit in the process.

Today is a day you'll want to be "Weather Aware". A squall line with strong-severe storms will be possible this afternoon and evening. Prior to the arrival of those storms we'll see record high temperatures and breezy conditions. We'll reach 73 today. The old record is 71 set back in 2000. A few hints of sunshine and even a passing shower will be possible before 2 p.m., but the main severe window is 2-9 p.m.
All of central Indiana is in a SLIGHT risk for severe storms today.
But a good chunk is in an ENHANCED risk, which is a step above a SLIGHT. Indianapolis is included in the Enhanced risk.
Our primary threat, should storms become severe, are damaging wind gusts. We could also see an isolated tornado.
Storms appear to arrive in Indy between 5-7 p.m.
Temperatures will drop SHARPLY overnight into Saturday. Highs on Saturday will only be in the 30s! This will be accompanied with 40 mph wind gusts and wind chills in the single digits and teens. We'll see an improvement on Sunday with dry conditions.
We are not expecting any accumulation with the snow showers on Saturday. This cool down will be short lived as we're back to the 60s with rain early next week.

Ross Joins Birthright Board
Atlantan Doug Ross has been appointed to the Birthright Israel Foundation board of directors.
Ross brings a history of Jewish communal leadership and passion for Birthright Israel to the position after serving as the chairman of the Birthright Israel Atlanta Leadership Council since 2012.
Ross has led the effort to increase support for the Birthright Israel Foundation in Atlanta and has grown the Leadership Council to 43 active members.
Ross' involvement with Jewish communal organizations includes service as a campaign volunteer for the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta since 1985 and as chairman of the Atlanta AIPAC campaign since 2012. He first connected with Birthright Israel after his son Jacob participated in 2010.
"Doug's extensive experience as a lay leader in the Jewish community will be a tremendous asset to our leadership, professional team and participants," said David Fisher, the president of the Birthright Israel Foundation. Fisher said he hopes that Ross' passion and dedication to the program and its participants "will inspire our greater community to become involved in the important work we do."
Ross, a 1978 graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, is a financial adviser with Morgan Stanley. He and his wife of 34 years, Robyn, have two sons, Stephen and Jacob.
"I believe that many of tomorrow's dynamic community leaders will come from the ranks of passionate, educated Birthright Israel alumni," Ross said. "By supporting Birthright Israel Foundation, the Atlanta Jewish community is investing in its own future, and I am proud to serve on its board of directors."

Who am I?
Well, I'm Marcus, obviously. Unless I'm really someone else and I'm using the name Marcus as a pseudonym. But to be honest, if I was going to choose a name I wouldn't choose Marcus. I would choose James. That's a much nicer name in my opinion. Anyway…
What's my story?
I've been trying to make money online in some form or another since 2008, apart from a period between 2012 and 2014 where I gave up for a while.
Some of the things I've tried over the years:
- Online gambling – don't do this. Seriously, don't.
- Promoting Amazon products through Google Adwords – I had high hopes for this but it didn't work for me.
- PotPieGirl's One Week Marketing – I enjoyed this way of doing things, but I didn't get much success from it.
- Writing EzineArticles to promote ClickBank products – back when I did this, EzineArticles's minimum word length was only 250 and it was easy to rank on page 1 of Google with such short articles. You could also link to affiliate links if you used a domain name and redirected it to the affiliate URL. For a while, I would crank out loads of articles doing this, and I did make some money.
- Dan Brock's Profitzon (now called Deadbeat Super Affiliate) – this shows you how to set up mini niche sites to promote Amazon products. I did make some money doing this, but not enough.
- Writing articles for Textbroker – this is actually not a bad way to make money, as long as you are a good writer who can write multiple articles in a day.
- Wealthy Affiliate – I first joined briefly in 2009 but didn't see much success, so I left a few months later. I finally rejoined in January 2015, and thing are going a lot better the 2nd time round. This is partly because Wealthy Affiliate is a lot better than it used to be, but also because I am a lot better. I've learned a lot from the things I've done wrong over the years. More on that in a minute…
What have I learned along the way?
- Don't spread yourself too thinly – my big mistake was I tried too many things in too short a time. For example, after I did the Profitzon course, I set up loads of different niche websites but never spent much time on each one. Instead, it's much better to dedicate more time to fewer things.
- Self-discipline is important – in the early years, I really struggled with self-discipline. I would often get distracted by YouTube videos and other online entertainment when I should have been working on my projects. I believe this is one of the biggest hurdles for anyone to overcome if they work online at home alone.
- Plan and stay focused – these days I keep track of all my projects and tasks in a special organiser called Efficient PIM. Then, every Friday, I plan out the following week in my calendar.
- Pace yourself – don't work 15 hours per day, 7 days per week. The chances of you getting distracted are very high. But if you do manage to stay focused for all that time, you're going to burn out eventually and/or get ill more often. I work 7 hours per day in 1-hour chunks with breaks in between, and I take weekends off.
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is – don't believe everything you read online about making money. In fact, the more excited you get about a money making idea, the more cautious you should be. It doesn't mean all the exciting ways to make money are scams, it just means you need to be careful.
- The path to success is paved with failures – if you fail, you get back up and try again, then you fail again, and you get back up and keep trying. As long as you learn from your little failures, they can actually be positive experiences that help you succeed later. In fact, failing is probably a necessary part of success. You need to try a bunch of things and mess them up to learn those lessons.
Where am I at now?
I am still on my quest to make lots of money online. I do earn money each month (from several different sources), but I am continually striving to improve things and make even more money. I am currently a member of Wealthy Affiliate and have had some success from the things I have learned there, but as with anything in life, there is always room for improvement.
Why did I create this website?
The purpose of this website is to document my ongoing journey with making money online and to help others. If you are a total beginner and want to get started with making money online, I can help you – check out my START HERE page.
What can you expect from me?
You will see me try out various money making opportunities and write about them in my product reviews. I will also share any wisdom I have picked up along the way, and give various tips and advice.
I wish myself the very best of success, and you too.

Easy Ways You Can Practice Self-Care in the Winter
The days are shorter. The air is colder. The joy of the holiday season has long gone stale.
Remember when winter was fun? When snow meant sledding and no school, instead of getting up early to defrost the car?
It's easy to get a case of the winter woes. Seasonal changes aren't known for always being the most gentle on everyone's minds. But never fear! There are simple and easy ways you can practice self-care in the winter to make sure you stay sane this season.
1. Worry Less
I know, you probably read that and thought "ugh, if only it were that easy". But let's be real - how productive is worrying? All it does is drain the psyche and make completing the most basic of tasks that much more tiresome. An easy way you can start cutting down on your worrying time is allowing yourself to only stress about things happening today or tomorrow. The 'today and tomorrow' mindset isn't the best in the long run, but it helps turn the long winter into manageable bite-size chunks (especially when you feel like you're running on fumes).
2. Treat Yo Self
The holiday season is always full of goodies and treats. But after? It seems there's a lot of pressure to return to "healthy" lifestyles. New Year's resolutions often center around unrealistic expectations for the body - especially when it comes to weight. So, sure, eat the salad when your body needs it. But eat that pasta when your soul needs it (and stop beating yourself up for it!) Life is all about balance, don't be so hard on yourself. Being mindful of what you're putting into your body also includes knowing when it's time for a treat. Lose the guilt! You're only human.
Treating yourself doesn't always have to be food-related either! Sometimes watching a movie curled up on the couch or turning off your email notifications for an hour can work wonders.
3. Just Say 'No'
It's easy to accept new projects and commitments just because you're afraid of disappointing someone. But guess what? You're allowed to say no! Yes, you read that right. Now go back and reread it. If you're feeling a bit polite you can even say "no, thank you". Gets the exact same message across.
Being a tiny bit more selfish with your time can help calm the burned-out mental state that comes with winter. Figure out what needs to be done, and what you would like to do, and forget everything else - at least for a little bit. That bridal shower for your second-cousin twice removed you haven't seen since you were ten? Maybe use that day to clean out your fridge or catch up on a work project. Once you start seeing the things you do as things you chose to do, life seems a little less out of control.
There is no perfect recipe for self-care (if only!) but there are steps you can take to make sure the winter months aren't so dreary. You can't change the weather or the hours of daylight (or lack thereof), but you can choose how you deal with it.
How do you like to take care of yourself in the winter? Let us know in the comments!

Finding Balance in an Unstable World
Submitted by Douglas Gentile on Mon, 7/11/2016, 10:59am
Like many people, I have been wishing for more balance in my life recently. The political and social worlds seem chaotic and heartbreaking. I spend many days chasing after deadlines that I am not sure I care much about. I would like to spend my time in other ways, ways that feel more refreshing and energizing rather than draining and worrisome. For the first time I'm beginning to miss deadlines, which is a clear indication that I've taken on more projects than I can accomplish. I need to learn to say "no" to some things, but that is not a skill I have ever had. How can I put things back into balance?
There are several difficulties on the path to achieving balance, but I'd like to consider two. We often don't know where to start and we also don't know how it should end, because our vision about what balance would look like is often incorrect. Let's look at the second problem first -- what does balance look like?
If you are able, I'd like you to stand on one foot for 10 seconds. What you will notice is that balance is not achieved by a lack of movement. It is not stable, but is dynamic. You are constantly shifting, moving this way and that. This is balance. We often incorrectly believe that balance should be stable and unchanging, but in truth, that isn't balance, that's death. You will only stop moving after death. As long as you are alive, balance is only able to be achieved by swinging between different poles. Your breath goes in and out, and is balanced. Your emotions go up and down, and are balanced. If your emotions are only down, for example, then this may be depression and is an indication of an imbalance of certain brain chemicals.
So we need to stop thinking of balance as stablity, as something achieveable in one moment -- it is only observed across time. For example, work-life balance is not something that will look the same every day. Some days you will need to work more, and others you will skip work to do something important for your family. This is balance.
Recognizing the dynamic nature of balance can help to answer the first question -- where should we start? Many times we think we need to give something up or gain something special before we can balance our lives, but that thinking stems from the idea that balance is stability. We are thinking about a physical balance, like a see-saw. We need to move something off of our side to make it balance in the middle, or we need to get something on the other side. Yet, even if we did give something up to make this side lighter, we would never achieve stability where the see-saw didn't move.
To stay with the playground equipment as a metaphor, consider how you can make a swing go back and forth. You first have to set an intention to shift your weight in one direction, and then the other. Most of us don't actually even know what we're doing...an outside observer might just think we were sitting there not doing much, but setting the intention to move in one direction can help us to align multiple muscles and then we begin moving.
This is one way to start. What might help you to feel balanced? Is it more exercise, more time for reading, eating better, etc? Then set the intention to start moving in that direction. Just going to the gym once won't make you feel balanced. Even doing it daily for a month probably won't. Because here's the secret - you're already in balance. There is probably never going to be a day where you all of a sudden feel like everything is in perfect balance, and even if you do have a day like that, tomorrow will likely feel different because everything is in motion. The balance point is you in the middle, and you're already there. You aren't out at the end of the see-saw - you're the point in the middle feeling the pulls this way and that.
We often believe that our ability to remain balanced is influenced by external situations. In feudal Japan, a warlord and his army were attacking and conquering towns. As they menaced a particular town, the townsfolk fled before the approaching army, with only the Zen master staying behind. The warlord went to the temple to see what kind of man this master was. The master was seated in the main temple. When the warlord was not shown the fear and submissiveness which he was expected, he became angry and drew his sword, saying, "You fool! Don't you realize that you are standing before a man who could run you through without blinking an eye?" The master replied calmly, "Don't you realize that you are standing before a man who can be run through without blinking an eye?"
How did the master achieve such balance in the face of an external threat? Here is where mindfulness practice is so useful, and this is a second place to start. On the cushion we practice being less captured by our thoughts and feelings. We are often pushed around by our feelings, believing that we must do something! in response to each of them. Yet with practice, we begin to see that each feeling arises, abides, and passes gracefully. We can sit with a sense of balance even when our emotions assail us. With sufficient practice (such as the master had), we can learn to be balanced even when external events are turbulent and stressful. From this place of balance, we will be much more able to respond in a skillful manner to all of the external situations (and also begin to realize that the "external" and "internal" situations are not separate).

Our beloved drummer Matt Wulff and some close relatives of the BEAR family will be playing a set at the Amsterdam Bar in St. Paul tonight. Swampboots, the musical project of Dylan Schultz, is swinging through town and the man wrangled up some fine musicians for his homecoming. Matt'll be playing bass, which I couldn't be more excited to see. It's gonna make me nostalgic for those all-ages Kitcar shows in Albert Lea.
Swampboots plays at 9pm sharp. All of BEAR will be in attendance. just look for the tall dudes cracking jokes. I'll be the one slamming Amsterdam's famous smoked-gouda sliders by the dozen.
See you there!

"Bother": What a great word. When used as a noun it means "effort, worry or difficulty." Interestingly, the origins of the word bother are "noise or chatter." That's exactly how I experience bother. Life can be going very well, yet if I feel bothered, a pall is cast over what otherwise might be happy, even joyful, times. The state of bother magnifies small irritants and creates a snowball effect that leaves me almost in a funk. It's so clear in these situations that the feeling of bother has to do with the meaning I'm making of my experiences because it seems only loosely related to the experiences themselves. That's the noise or chatter.
Let me give an example. Like many people this time of year, I caught a nasty cold this week. Although I've felt miserable physically, I've actually been pretty productive and in a decent mood. In the past, not only would I have been sick, but I also would have been in a bad mood. And my bad mood would have "infected" the people around me.
I asked myself what's different and the only thing I can discern is that the noise or chatter has less of a hold on me. I used to tell myself things like "I don't deserve this," "I'm too busy to be sick," "I can't afford to be sick when I have a business trip coming up." And those thoughts and fears, more than the physical illness, would put me in a bad mood.
This time, largely because of work I've been doing over the past year to increase my awareness of the link between thoughts and feelings, I didn't have that kind of noise surrounding the illness. I do have an upcoming business trip but instead of catastrophizing about how bad it all is, I chose to focus on getting as well as possible before the trip. So much less energy invested in my thoughts about the illness, so much more directed to getting well.
Okay, so maybe some people reading this are thinking, "Boy, is she neurotic!" That's the risk I take when I share these kinds of reflections. But I've coached enough people who are as much a victim of bother as I was (and sometimes still am) to know that this is a topic worth surfacing and exploring more fully.
Wouldn't you like to be more productive, more positive? How is the noise or chatter in your mind working for you in that regard?
