Winnebago Industries Inc. provided the industry's first hybrid RV, a 2009 Winnebago Adventurer, to Brad and Amy Herzog for their summer travel tour.
The Herzogs, spokespersons for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), will be traveling in this concept hybrid RV this summer as they promote the benefits of RV travel, according to a news release.
Winnebago Industries is on the cutting edge of RV hybrid technology with this concept vehicle that explores the viability of advanced hybrid systems in motorhome applications. The Winnebago Adventurer hybrid rides on a Freightliner Custom Chassis' ecoFRED chassis, the motorhome industry's first hybrid-electric chassis featuring Eaton hybrid power components.
This is a full hybrid system in that it utilizes two independent power sources (a diesel engine and an electric motor) that work in conjunction to optimally power the vehicle. The Adventurer hybrid also features regenerative braking for less brake wear. With regenerative braking, the hybrid electric motor uses electricity to create torque, while also being able to reverse the process to use torque to create electricity. By reversing its electric engine to become a generator, electricity is fed back into the battery resulting in energy savings.
"We are excited to be the first RV manufacturer to begin active testing of this hybrid technology," said Roger Martin, Winnebago vice president of sales and marketing. "This hybrid concept can bring many benefits including improved fuel efficiency in select driving environments, reduced noise and emissions, improved acceleration and reduced maintenance. We are proud to provide this hybrid concept vehicle to the Herzogs this summer for their tour as we continue to test the viability of hybrid technology in the RV industry."
Introduced in 2009, the triple slide 35Z offers three slideout rooms for added spaciousness when parked. One of the highlights of this model is the rear wardrobe that can be turned into bunk beds. Attractive doors open fully to reveal the beds that fold down when not in use.
The bunkbeds feature 8.5-inch flip down video screens with integrated DVD players and headphones. In the rear, there is a king bed nestled in the slideout room. The living area features two slideout rooms that create ample social space. A fully equipped galley, including a four door refrigerator/freezer, is also featured, as well as a 32-inch LCD TV and home theater sound system.
Brad Herzog is a best selling author of such travelogues as "States of Mind" and "Small World." He has also authored over a dozen children's books, including the most recent S is for Save the Planet: A How-to-be Green Alphabet.
"I'm thrilled to be driving this concept hybrid RV from Winnebago Industries," said Herzog. "There are many ways in which RVing teaches earth-friendly lessons — just by doing things like visiting natural wonders, shopping at farmers' markets and reducing consumption and home energy use. But the Adventurer hybrid is an exciting step forward in the industry's green initiatives. I've always reduced the RV vacation advantage to four Fs — fun, family, flexibility and financial savings. But now I can add a fifth — facing the future."

JeffreySF necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 81 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
wishwave / wishwave.com
We are looking for a LOGO for wishwave.com – a website that matches people's everyday needs with both skilled and non-skilled service providers that may fulfill these needs (and the other way round too).
A few examples include personal trainer, personal chef, accountant, etc. However, please note that the overall scope of service provision is much broader than the aforementioned examples so do not focus on any specific services when you design the logo. It's more about the CONCEPT of this website rather than the services themselves.
Concept-wise, we want the user to believe that s/he can simply come to the website with whatever need (i.e. "wish") in mind, bottle the wish, and then cast it away into the cyberspace (i.e. "wave") for someone to answer the wish. It's about matching people's needs efficiently and making people's lives easier.
Initially, the website targets at working professionals and young couples (25 to 40 years old) as well as service providers they may need in their everyday lives. Eventually, the target audience will include other age groups as well.
The logo should consist of both a graphic presentation and the brand name. Ideally, the two should be separable but we are open to the designer's creative ideas.
In terms of the graphic presentation, it should include the two key elements in the brand name – wish & wave. The design (1) should help set the tones of the overall website design and (2) will be used as a unique and visually recognizable icon on business cards, letterhead, presentation slides, etc.
Further elaboration of the two elements is shown as follows. Please note these general guidelines should by no means limit the designer's creativity.
Wish: please use a warm color, such as maize or orange. Please be creative in what you think represents a wish graphically.
Wave: please use a cool color, such as indigo or navy blue (a few shades lighter should be fine too). Some common associations include ocean, wave, etc – something that transcends geographic boundaries.
Style: clean, crisp, cool, contemporary, consumer-oriented, cute but NOT too cartoonish.
Font: round, modern-looking fonts are preferred. We want to use only small letters. In addition, there are two Ws in the brand name, which may provide room for creative ideas.
Format: the final design should be delivered in the Adobe Illustrator file format.

Remember that TAR13 was filmed from April 22 to May 14, and it still aired in September. The race may begin some time after Memorial Day weekend, which is a busy travel time. So they could start sometime in June.
Let's just put it this way - check out Twitter, Facebook, whatever you can at some point within the next 24 hours.

Leslie Feist, commonly known as Feist, is back after a two-year hiatus from the music scene with a new album "Metals" (released earlier this month). She's come a long way from the catchy 1234, which blew up after Apple featured it in an iPod commercial in 2007. And now, we're digging the refreshing new single How Come You Never Go There. Feist talks to us about her time off, recording in a leaking-roofed garage, why she would rather be on a mountain top, and her drink of choice. Just like with her latest album, the more we learn about her, the more we like.
How did you find being back in the saddle of making an album after two years off?
After 7 years of touring, I was totally depleted. Things weren't slowing down so I drew a big thick line eight months in advance in the calendar, and after that, I would stop completely. When I hit that wall it was a dead stop and I collapsed with my suitcase next to me. After a year, I hadn't learned how to be home, like on a vacation when it takes you a few days to learn how to relax, so I took another year. I traveled around and spent time in France, visited Mexico and Egypt. I saw my family and friends, planted some vegetables in the garden and just lived a normal life. After long enough of a time ignoring the guitar, I finally picked it up and wrote the whole record almost immediately.
What was the most challenging aspect of making your new album "Metals"?
We'd prepared the recording in Toronto so we could play it live like a concert, and everything would be there without having to overdub. It was recorded live off the floor... honest, with mistakes and all.
What was the most enjoyable part of the "Metals" process?
Noting that I was really alone again after a year and a half off, and being able to sneak out into the garage and start writing in isolation again. That felt like clue writing for a masterfully fun scavenger hunt.
A new restaurant in Brooklyn called Isa recently opened, and the owner, Taavo Somer, described the vibe, design and menu of Isa to be "primitive modern" as a kind of antidote to everything being hipstered out in New York City. This seems to be a similar quality to "Metals." Did you know from the start of planning this album that you wanted to go in an "unslick" direction or did that unfold more in Big Sur where you recorded your album?
The conditions of writing were primitive, in a leaking roofed garage. The melodies and ideas I was interested in seemed to pull certain instrumentation towards them that play into an earlier music than I'm accustomed to: euphonium, bass sax, bass clarinet. We avoided a full drum kit played by one person as much as possible and tried to have lots of us hitting things. I guess some of these built-in approaches got us away from too much of a precious ensemble and we were able to hit things and yell into things. The modern part is that we were putting this whole cacophony into a frame called a record, which is not ancient at all.
What is something about you that our viewers and readers might find surprising?
I rediscovered skiing and love being on top of a mountain in the snow. That is the most impossible thing, and so against our evolution--I love the silence of it. Also, I ride a rickety old bike so it won't get stolen. I have lots of plants, but none that need soil, so they survive when I'm away. I've caught five birds in my apartment in the last week and re-released them (I have no idea how they're getting in) and I want to learn to camp properly.
What is your favorite late-night bite or snack?
Oranges. Popcorn. Celery. Not all at once, though.
What are your favorite late-night pairings?
Not at home, but I would have a gin martini with extra olives and some salted almonds.
Where do you like to hang out nightlife-wise?
At a hot new club called Pay-Per-View.
What is your favorite thing between two buns?
A veggie burger with fried onions and mushrooms and swiss.
"Metals" is available now.

Reflections of a life lived
Album 2
on photos below to enlarge.]
[April 29, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
wonderful feature of the lobby area is the letter wall.
The museum invited area schoolchildren to
write letters to Abraham Lincoln. They were allowed to speak
their minds to the president, telling them their opinions of him
and asking him important questions.
Each letter is displayed on the wall. In
front of the wall are papers where future visitors may also
write a letter and have it pinned to the wall.
Some of these letters can really grab the
heart, such as the first letter below, where the student thanks Lincoln for his signing of the 13th Amendment. The
student notes that had that not happened, his or her cousins who now live
in Georgia would be slaves.

When a connection is allocated to a connection handler, requests on the connection are exposed to a list of data views configured for that connection handler. The list of data views for a connection handler can contain zero, one, or multiple data views.
If the list of data views is empty, requests on the connection are not distributed to any data view. Applications using the connection cannot access any data and a No such Object error is returned.
If the list of data views contains multiple data views, requests on the connection are distributed to the data view that most specifically corresponds to the target DN of the request. For example, in Figure 20–1, requests on a connection in connection-handler-1 can be distributed to data-view-2, data-view-3 or data-view-4. However, if a search request has a target DN of ou=people,dc=example,dc=com, the request is distributed either to data-view-3 or to data-view-4.
Affinity can be defined between a client connection and the data view selected to respond to requests on that connection. This feature is called data view affinity. When data view affinity is enabled, successive requests on a client connection are exposed exclusively to the data view used for the first request on that connection.
When data view affinity is enabled it takes precedence over other types of routing. For example, in Figure 20–1, a search request with a target DN of ou=computer,dc=example,dc=com is exposed to data-view-2. All subsequent requests on that client connection are exposed exclusively to data-view-2. If a subsequent request on that client connection has a target DN of ou=people,dc=example,dc=com, the request is exposed to the data view for ou=computer,dc=example,dc=com, not the data view for ou=people,dc=example,dc=com.
For information about how to configure data view affinity, see To Configure Affinity for Data Views in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 Administration Guide.

Recently, a friend asked me to share my testimony. I was a taken aback. No one had ever asked me for my story before. Come to think of it, I wasn't so sure I had much of a story to tell. When I hear testimonies of how people had drastic circumstances that brought them to the Lord, I am usually in awe. Former gangsters, former drug dealers, former atheists, former prositutes, orphans, homeless...these are the people that have a testimony, right? I've done plenty of stupid stuff in my…Continue

Last week, we took our official annual family camping trip. Each summer, we take one trip to a California State Park that I deem "official"because it is with kids and without cell phones, laptops, or iPods. The only media we allow are cameras and Kindles (for capturing memories, and because we can keep all our books in one place). What I discovered on this trip was that three days of no Facebook updates, no check-ins, no Tweets and no notifications can actually be…Continue

My children auditioned for a guest spot on a national radio show last weekend. You'd think they'd just been "discovered" and offered a multi-million dollar movie contract! All they can talk about is how cool it will be if one of them gets the part. They'd get to go in an airplane for the first time, meet the other characters in the show, see new places, etc. Then my 12-year-old son goes on a tangent about how, when he's famous someday, he's going to buy a Dodge Viper. My 7-year-old daughter,…Continue

Russ Hollingsworth, co-chairman of the biannual event along with his brother, Bill, said the tournament is competitive, but added none of the competitors forget the real reason why everyone's there.
"It's not about winning," he said. "It's about having fun, and everyone knows it's about coming out and making some money for cancer research."
Event cost, which includes lunch and beverages, is $30 for players, $20 for non-players and OMBAC members.
There is a beer garden at the event.
"This is one of only three events with alcohol allowed on the beach, as it is grandfathered in," said Hollingsworth.
This year's Bunch/Barlow Memorial Tournament honors the tourney's founders.
Sign-ups can be done online at www.ombac.org by clicking on OMShoes, or on the day of the event from 9 to 11:15 a.m. at The Pennant Bar, 2893 Mission Blvd.
Typically, said Hollingsworth, upward of 100 two-person teams compete in a blind draw with teammates selected at random. Competitors participate in a round robin followed by a single elimination tournament with prizes for the top finishers in upper and lower tournament brackets.
Proceeds for the Aug. 4 horseshoe tourney will be donated to UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.
An earlier OMShoes event held in April donated proceeds to the Helen Knoll Foundation, which offers early breast cancer screenings via a mobile mammogram.
"Come out, have some fun, enjoy the sun and the people," said Hollingsworth.

I have two dogs and thus can tell you, with some authority, that a truly fabulous dog bed (and by that I mean one that isn't varying shades of neutral or plain ol' preppy striped) is tough to find. Needless to say, I was super excited to discover Felix & Milou, a brand new dog bed line by Tove Jakobsson -huzzah! Finally, something with a little style!
Her cushions are all made by hand from lovely graphic Swedish fabrics. They're sized for a cat or small dog, hopefully soon, a bigger size to come! I fear poor Indy is getting the shaft, being more in the medium to large range. But wouldn't they make great floor cushions around a low table as well?
This is the one I purchased - a fabric by Cecilia Hall Åhlens that has a lovely Josef Frank vibe - beautifully made and adorable in person!
All the cushion covers are removable and washable. Check out the rest of her products here.

On behalf of the group I'd like to thank the reviewers for the kind comments and the positive reception of our album Andra sidan. We have gained some attention here in Sweden already, but it is really nice to see that the work we do is appreciated elsewhere, despite the "language barrier". Regarding that, we agree with the comments about translations of the lyrics and will try to publish as many as we can on our website http://www.gabbahey.se
To find out for yourselves what the reviewers liked so much, our music is available on iTunes:
And we are of course more than happy to post a CD, just order it on our website http://gabbahey.se/products-page/ or drop me an e-mail on the adress below.
Once again, thank you Jonathan, Alex and Nick for the feedback!

SCORES: VCU 3, Army 1 (21-25, 27-25, 25-22, 25-23)
LOCATION: West Point, N.Y. (Gillis Field House); West Point Challenge
RECORDS: VCU 11-1, Army 6-5
- VCU dropped the first set and fell behind 22-16 in the second set before rallying for a 3-1 victory.
- Trailing 22-16, VCU's Martina Samadan ripped consecutive kills, then followed with back-to-back solo blocks to pull the Rams within 22-20. She added another kill two plays later to make it 23-21. Three Anett Farkas kills down the stretch helped seal the VCU win to tie the match 1-1.
- Samadan, a freshman middle blocker, finished with 13 kills, six digs and four blocks and hit .579.
- Senior outside hitter Kristin Boyd added 13 kills for the Rams, while sophomore setter Cecilia Aragao distributed 46 assists with 11 digs.
- VCU dug a season-high 79 balls, including 21 from sophomore Amanda Love and 17 by senior Marisa Low.
- With the win, VCU improves to 11-1 for the first time since 1993. The Rams finished 24-14 that season.
- The victory was the Rams' seventh straight, VCU's longest win streak since 2009.
- The Rams need a victory over Sacred Heart Sunday to ensure tournament championships in all four non-conference tournaments this year.
- Samadan has hit plus .500 with at least 10 kills in four matches this season. She is hitting .375 through 12 matches this season, an impressive pace, given that the VCU single-season mark is .332.
"Martina Samadan, Romana Kriskova and Kristin Boyd really gave us lot of offense, and Amanda Love and Marisa Low gave us great defense. They worked well together and did some nice things in the back row."
"Martina Samadan, Romana Kriskova and Kristin Boyd really gave us lot of offense, and Amanda Love and Marisa Low gave us great defense. They worked well together and did some nice things in the back row."
"We had talked about how [Army] was going to play, with lots of intensity and emotion, and we were going to have to match that, and we didn't do that in the first set. Later in the second set we called a timeout and then we picked it up emotionally and our defense really picked up and carried over into the third set. The big difference for us was defense. It gave our hitters more chances."
-- VCU Head Coach James Finley
VCU will have a day off Saturday before finishing play at the West Point Challenge on Sunday, Sept. 16 when it meets Sacred Heart at 10 a.m.

Goddamn, we're feeling old right now. A reader by the name of Vik, who is apparently from the land of utes, Vegemite, Neighbours and Radio Birdman just wrote tipping us off to a Porsche 959 on eBay. A statement which he followed up with, "Never knew there were cars like this in the 80's." What? In the 1980s, if you didn't already have a Countach or a Testarossa on your bedroom wall, it was mandatory that you had a 959. Has the mighty 959 been forgotten by the young generation? Is the gray in our hair really that evident? Oh why, why, did we not get married when we had the chance? We regret everything.

Poisoned Lotto Winner's Widow Said She Has Proof of Her Estate Claim
(CHICAGO) -- The widow of poisoned lottery winner Urooj Khan has presented documents purporting to show that most of Khan's estate belongs to her.
Al-Haroon Husain, an attorney for Khan's widow, Shabana Ansari, said Khan signed a document two months before his death, stating that his portion of his dry cleaning business would go to his wife if he died.
Signed May 2, this "operating agreement" presented to the probate court on Thursday indicates that two-thirds of Khan's estate would go to Ansari, Husain said. Khan reportedly did not have a will, Husain and Khan's siblings contend.
Ansari, 32, and Khan's siblings are in a legal dispute over Khan's assets, which include his winnings from a $1 million jackpot distributed in July.
A copy of the 38-page document provided to ABC News appears to show an agreement between Khan and his business partner, Mohammed Shaker, and included a clause that read: "Members shall transfer their interest to their respective spouse upon member's death."
Khan's brother said the agreement was "baseless and nonsense," according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
"Why would he [sign an agreement] to transfer everything to his wife? Did he know that he was going to die? Did he know [someone] was going to kill him?" Imtiaz Khan told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Husain said he and Ansari discovered the clause in the document after the judge asked for an inventory of the estate.
"He can question it as much as he wants," Husain said of Khan's brother. "Mr. Khan and his business partner signed off on it. It's the operating agreement for their company. He may not like it but fortunately, the law is the law."
Khan, 46, was an immigrant from India who owned dry-cleaning businesses in Chicago. He was announced the winner of a million-dollar lottery jackpot in June and chose to take the lump sum payout amounting to $425,000 after taxes.
When he died on July 20 in Chicago, the medical examiner's office believed he had died of natural causes. It wasn't until after he was buried that a family member asked the office to conduct further tests. After examining fluid samples, the office found a lethal level of cyanide and Khan's death was declared a homicide.
The autopsy of Khan's body was conducted after his body was exhumed Jan. 18 from the Rose Hill Cemetery in Chicago.
Dr. Stephen Cina, Cook County Chief Medical Examiner, said enough tissue samples were recovered from Khan's body to proceed with further testing. The samples taken included those from his hair, finger nails, stomach contents, and other solid organs.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office is trying to find more details about his death, such as whether the poison was inhaled, swallowed, or injected.
Khan's family said they were suspicious after he died. His brother filed a petition last month to a judge asking Citibank to release information about Khan's assets to "ultimately ensure" that [Khan's] minor daughter from a prior marriage "receives her proper share."
Ansari may have tried to cash the jackpot check after Khan's death, according to court documents, which also showed Urooj Khan's family is questioning if the couple was ever even legally married.
Ansari, Urooj Khan's second wife, who still works at the couple's dry cleaning business, has insisted they were married legally.

In a recent Q&A, Mattel suggested that they still have big plans for Teela past the Battleground version. Since she's one of my favorites, this got me thinking about what else they could do.
New Adventures Teela - With Catra and Marlena's ties to the Tri-Solar System, I'm more and more convinced that New Adventures will be in the not-too-distant past. That said, another blonde Teela did make an appearance in the show sporting a pink costume and has been fan-requested for years.
Sorceress Teela - I like to think that Battleground Teela wore training gear on her journey to transform into the new Sorceress. Once she takes the role, she might sport her own bird motif... or even the MYP Egyptian style.
Queen Teela - One of the great things about the character I love is how many roles she's destined to play. As the descendant (or is it clone now?) of Veena, Teela's destiny is to not only become the Sorceress of Grayskull but also the bride of King Grayskull's heir. This takes the story full circle and it could be fun to see a royal version as Prince Adam's new queen.
Thoughts? Comments? Any other suggestions?

I love my crockpot! You throw all the ingredients in and never have to waste another moment of your day trying to think about "What's For Dinner". I have been making chili in the crockpot for a long time now and never really follow a recipe. So while making it the other day I decided to take note for this recipe blog post for #foodpornthursdays.
This is locally grass fed lamb. We bought 2 lambs from a local farmer at the end of summer last year and we are just now getting down to the end of them. I can't begin to tell you how much better grass fed organic meat tastes. Even after being in the deep freezer, it's delicious. This is approximately 2 pounds.
Here I have chopped up some red onion, garlic, and jalapeños. I throw them and the meat all in together while the meat is browning. Sometimes if I have some bell peppers on hand I chop those up and throw them in too.
While the meat is browning I then open and drain all the beans and throw them in the crockpot.
then throw in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. When the meat is browned I then drain it and throw it in there too and give it a really good stir. Add seasonings.
Depending on what time I put it all together ….usually it's in the early morning so I then place it on low for 8 hours or if you don't get around to it until the afternoon then high for 4. Just depends when what time you want to eat dinner. I usually serve it will a side of cornbread or just a loaf of french bread from the bakery with some "real" butter. None of the tubbed stuff around here. For those of you who eat that stuff you should note that it is one step away from being plastic. And there you have it…easy peasy right?
- 1-2 pounds of burger
- 1 red onion (chopped)
- 3-4 large cloves of garlic (finely chopped) I have found that the best way for chopping up garlic cloves is with a chopper from Pampered Chef…love that kitchen gadget….have had mine for years and use it for a lot of chopping.
- 3-4 Jalapeños (chopped) …I remove the seeds and veins for this as the little ones eat it…if you want it a little on the hotter side then leave the seeds and veins in.
- 1 15oz. can of black beans
- 1 15oz. can of pinto beans
- 1 15oz. can of white beans
- 1 15oz. can of kidney beans
- 1 28oz. can of diced tomatoes
- 1 6oz. can of tomato paste
- 1 tbsp of onion powder
- 1 tbsp of garlic powder
- 2 tbsp of chili powder
- 1 tsp of curry
- salt and pepper to your liking. If you want really easy you can buy the McCormicks Chili seasoning packet and just throw it in there.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Maryland will appeal a finding that the state was not hit hard enough by superstorm Sandy to qualify for federal disaster aid, the state administration says.
Craig Fugate, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Tuesday the decision was based on the number of people who lost homes or businesses, The Baltimore Sun reported. Losses to Sandy are estimated at about $27 million in Maryland, mostly on the Eastern Shore, although the storm also brought heavy snow in the mountains in the western part of the state.
"It is not based upon the trauma to the individual," Fugate said. "You know, our hearts go out to them."
Gov. Martin O'Malley said in a statement the ruling will make it more difficult for storm victims to recover, Southern Maryland Online reported Wednesday.
Maryland Emergency Management Agency officials said they would appeal, the news website said. The state has a month to do so.
Sandy, hundreds of miles across by the time it hit the Jersey Shore, did billions of dollars in damage in New Jersey and New York.
The most heavily hit Maryland town was Crisfield, a fishing community of about 2,700 near the Virginia state line. Noah Bradshaw, Crisfield's housing inspector, said much of the damage there is hidden, with houses inundated by water and mud in the storm now harboring mold.
Maryland was notified of the federal decision late Monday and has 30 days to appeal, something O'Malley has promised to do. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., is lobbying for federal aid.
"The damage is devastating," Mikulski said in a statement. "I'm so disappointed FEMA denied these hardworking, patriotic Americans the help they need to get back into their homes and on their feet."

The Necessity for Balance
It is my belief that creativity requires tensions.
On the one hand, as creative humans we need to see the world just as it is, face it squarely, and accept it without filtering out the uncomfortable. We must accept both the beauty and the ugliness, the gentle and the violent, the wise and the stupid, the just and the terrible. We can't move forward unless we have the courage to take it in without flinching.
On the other hand, we must imagine what is possible. As creative humans we're compelled to create images of what the future could and should be. In my opinion, we need to nourish this desire, learn to articulate this imagined future's attributes and qualities, and share them with others. By doing this we can create a shared understanding of what our future ought to be.
Without this ricocheting back and forth between what is and what could be our creative ability diminishes. It's easier for us to resolve the tension by becoming realists or idealists. But when the tension is released, we lose our ability to figure out the immediate steps we need to take to move toward our ideal future. We forget about the relationship between the small acts and the big picture. In short, we get lost.
Holding this tension isn't easy. We're conditioned to define success as the resolution of tension. From fairy tales to Hollywood movies, we're accustomed to the "they live happily ever after" closure.
But a real creative process isn't like that, and real life isn't like that. In both life and the creative process, success means tensions sustained.
Holding opposites together requires a different set of qualities: flexibility instead of rigidity; alertness to the moment; jazz-like improvisation; teamwork based on the idea that together we know more; a sense of irony and humor borne of the distance between what is and could be; and compassion for the imperfect. Artistic work rarely matches the possibility of that work. A perfect architectural plan is downgraded by lack of funding or municipal ordinances; a wonderful script is diminished because of a low budget or inadequate directing; a great relationship is challenged by the individuals' irritating habits. Perfection smashes against limits all the time.
Like many people I know, I delight in Barack Obama's election and celebrate his courage and wisdom. I think he understands how to balance immediate actions with long-term visions. I also think that he understands how issues are connected and interrelated. He seems to practice balance between idealism and pragmatism. I hope that under his leadership our collective creativity should flourish.
The problems we are facing will take generations and much wisdom to remedy. The work ahead requires patience and an ability to connect diverse priorities so everyone benefits from new initiatives.
Do we, the people, have courage to lay aside our singular agendas to uncover elegant strategies with multiple victories, strategies that do not waste any of the important aspects of our world? An editorial in the Seattle Times questions why no person from the Northwest was invited to the cabinet and if the Northwest will be neglected by the new administration. And so it begins: the "what is this administration doing for me and mine" grumble has begun and will undoubtedly grow into a cacophony of demands for specific, singular actions. But together, I think, all the specific actions could make the larger success less achievable, maybe even impossible. The Obama presidency won't succeed without the understanding and support from us citizens. I worry that by pressuring for immediate results we may 'win the battle but lose the war.'
Artists understand tensions. They define success in terms of steps rather than a finished journey. They know that choosing between being a realist or idealist is not an option, that both modalities are required at all times: the focus on the big picture can not make a mediocre brushstroke, and the focus on the brushstroke can not diminish the big picture. They know the journey is long, but taking one right step is better than taking a thousand wrong ones. Faced with limited resources, they must do a lot with the little.
I believe we all need to adopt these if we are ever to succeed in creating a just, sustainable, peaceful future. Every profession, every interest group should be asking how its experience and skills can contribute to realizing a livable, more harmonious, less wasteful and more sustainable future.

The BIOjet Abu Dhabi roadmap is the culmination of an extensive year-long dialogue between Etihad Airways, its four BIOjet Abu Dhabi partners, and UAE and global stakeholders. It explains Abu Dhabi's potential to produce aviation biofuel locally, in a sustainable way, taking account of all elements of the supply chain from feedstock supplies to biorefining and distribution.
James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: "The industry's licence to grow can only be granted if we find and implement ways to lower the carbon footprint of commercial aviation.
"Together with our partners, we are proud to present our roadmap to encourage greater commitment from the industry and local community in establishing a sustainable biofuel supply chain in the UAE – the next logical step in Abu Dhabi's renewable energy commitments. The formation of a viable UAE aviation biofuel industry in Abu Dhabi presents significant opportunity for the capital's ongoing economic diversification initiatives."
The roadmap explores how a supply chain can be established in the UAE through the exploration of sustainable feedstocks, new infrastructure requirements and necessary policy frameworks. It clearly indicates that Abu Dhabi holds significant potential to supply domestic feedstocks for use in aviation biofuel.
Bernie Dunn, President of Boeing Middle East, said: "BIOjet Abu Dhabi represents a key opportunity for the UAE to create the environment needed to innovate in ways that support long-term sustainable growth for commercial aviation here and around the world."
Jasem Ali Al Sayegh, Chief Executive Officer of Takreer, said: "The development of a biofuel supply chain complements our future plans to meet the rapidly growing demand for jet fuel at both a local and regional level, and is in line with the ADNOC sustainability policy."
Bernard Clément, Senior Vice President of Total New Energies, said: "Total is committed to better energy. As a long-term partner of Abu Dhabi and responsible oil and gas producer, Total is pleased to assist the Emirate in the diversification of its energy mix by developing innovative collaborations around new energy projects and fostering the development of efficient, reliable and sustainable aviation biofuel solutions."
The BIOjet Abu Dhabi roadmap builds on local research undertaken by the Sustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium, led by the Masdar Institute, whose flagship project is the Integrated Seawater Energy and Agriculture System (ISEAS). ISEAS is an initiative to develop a unique form of agriculture, producing food and energy products on traditionally non-arable desert land irrigated with seawater. The pilot ISEAS facility is currently under construction within Masdar City.
Dr. Fred Moavenzadeh, President, Masdar Institute, said: "In order to commercialise these technologies, efforts such as BIOjet Abu Dhabi are essential. Through the knowledge that our researchers have contributed, we are pleased to be supporting the establishment of this industry and progressing the UAE's economic diversification and innovation priorities."
The concluding action plan identifies opportunities, challenges and concerns in the commercial scale-up of domestic biofuel production, and will require the commitment of all stakeholders in addressing these.

January exit not out of the question for Lampard
Frank Lampard has admitted he could leave Chelsea in January, as the club have not opened any talks with him about a contract extension.
Lampard, 33, is out of contract at Stamford Bridge in the summer - and able to speak to other clubs about a free transfer on January 1. Clubs including Monaco, Guizhou Renhe and even Premier League sides ranging from Manchester United and QPR have been linked with a bid.
The attacking midfielder gave a timely reminder of his value to the Blues on Sunday, as he scored twice in the 2-1 Premier League victory over Everton - moving him to 192 goals for the club, one shy of the club's second all-time leading goalscorer, Kerry Dixon.
But Lampard acknowledged that he might not even remain at the club long enough to beat Dixon's mark, with his future up in the air.
"I'm only one behind so hopefully I'll beat that, but you never should count your chickens," Lampard told the BBC. "At the minute there is nothing been said and my contract's till the summer.
"I'm enjoying playing, I'm working hard in training, I'm loving being part of the team and the ability we've got in the team.
"That's all I can tell you at the minute, and that's fair enough for me, I'm happy just to keep playing well and contributing to winning games."
Asked whether Chelsea had held any discussions with him about a possible extension, Lampard replied: "No."
While a January departure would appear unlikely, manager Rafael Benitez would not speak about the player's future beyond the summer - having revealed the England international would not receive a new contract in one of his first press conferences as interim Chelsea boss.
"Lampard is a great player, a good professional, who is doing well for us and I will try to bring the best out of him until the end of the season," said Benitez.
"He is one of the players who if he gets in the box he can be dangerous.
"He is under contract. He has shown his full commitment. He is a great player and my job is to keep him fit, happy and scoring goals.
"If he can score goals every game I'll be pleased."

While most new Monopoly sets desperately try to keep up with the times — swapping cash for credit cards or using circular boards — here's one which celebrates the past. Now you can play the property-trading game while celebrating the life of the father of computer science, Alan Turing.
Announced over the weekend by Bletchley Park, where Turing worked during the second world war, the new set is inspired by a hand-drawn board created by the son of Turing's friend Max Newman.
The board celebrates Turing's life, with notable properties including Kings College Cambridge, where he studied, and Bletchley Park itself, while utility companies are replaced with devices he used, like the Enigma machine. His face even features on the bank notes.
The set's available for £30 direct from the Bletchley Park website. [Bletchley Park via Google]

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio State's athletic department is raising ticket prices in football and men's basketball and for golf fees in order to continue to offer 36 varsity sports and upgrade facilities, athletic director Gene Smith said.
The school is also initiating ``premium'' games in both football and basketball, with large increases planned for fans wanting to see those contests.
Tickets to Ohio State's home football game tickets for most seats will go from $70 to $79 this fall. The price will go up for as many as two premium games a season to $110 to $175 per game.
``We haven't raised tickets prices the last three years,'' Smith said. ``Looking ahead into our financial plan, we knew at some point we would have to do this.''
Only one game has been selected as a premium game for the 2013 football season - the Sept. 28 date with Wisconsin, which has a new coach and will be going through a transitional year. Tickets for that game will cost a maximum of $110.
Smith said Ohio State had considered also making the Penn State game this fall a premium game, but declined to do so because of the volatility of the matchup. The Nittany Lions face severe limitations in recruiting and a bowl ban in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Ohio State hosts archrival Michigan in football in even-numbered years. Tickets for those games will almost certainly cost as much as $175.
Smith cited the costs of supporting the most varsity sports of any school in the nation for the increase, in addition to $4 million being spent at Ohio Stadium for concrete resurfacing, $1 million for a new track at the Jesse Owens Stadium and $2.2 million for a new roof and $600,000 for a new field at the football team's practice facility.
Smith said he did not believe that Ohio State was pushing ticket prices as high as the market will bear.
``We're different than most programs,'' he said, referring to the large football ticket allotment set aside for students (30,000) and for faculty and staff (15,000). ``We do this because our people are passionate. We believe that they'll show up.''
A finance committee accepted the recommendations on Thursday. The school's board of trustees is expected to approve the increases on Friday.
The measure will raise around $6 million per year, $5.2 million in football and $800,000 in men's basketball.
Men's basketball tickets will go up starting next season, by $6 for the best seats and less in other areas of Value City Arena.
Smith and the athletic department were also approved to designate as many as five men's basketball games a year as premium games, most likely the home games with Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin and possibly the ACC/Big Ten Challenge opponent in years when Ohio State hosts that game.
No figures for the cost of those premium games was provided by the university.
Most of college football's top programs do not charge the same for every game, as Ohio State has for years.
Ohio State's opponents at Ohio Stadium this fall include Buffalo, San Diego State, Football Championship Subdivision member Florida A&M and Big Ten foes Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State and Indiana.
There have already been some complaints from Ohio State fans about the increases to the university, Smith and call-in shows and in letters to the editor.
According to figures provided by Brett Scarbrough, Ohio State's assistant athletic director in charge of ticketing and premium seating, 48,000 season-ticket packages were sold last year to Ohio Stadium. Of that figure, faculty/staff represented 13,666 season packages and students bought 15,556.
Ohio Stadium is currently undergoing concrete resurfacing that required Ohio State to shift its annual spring football game to Cincinnati's Paul Brown Stadium, home of the NFL Bengals. The spring game is April 13.
Many of Ohio State's season-ticket packages require purchasers to first make major donations to the university.
Fees at the university's Scarlet and Gray golf courses will also rise by a small percentage.
Ohio State football tickets were just $43 in 2001 and have risen almost every year since: 2002 ($45), 2003 ($47), 2004 ($57), 2005 ($58), 2006 ($59), 2007 ($60), 2008 ($62), 2009 ($63), 2010-12 ($70).

Barry Sanders Running Back To Football HOF For 50th Anniversary Tour
By Barry Janoff
September 25, 2012: The Pro Football Hall of Fame is planning a plethora of events to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2013, anchored by what executives called the largest traveling exhibition in its history – "Gridiron Glory: The Best of the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
It was also revealed that Hall of Famer Barry Sanders would serve as national ambassador for the touring exhibit and also would have person items shown as part of the display.
Gridiron Glory is a 5,000 square-foot interactive multimedia exhibit that will feature more than 200 mementoes.
The tour will debut in Pittsburgh at the Heinz History Center on October 6. The current schedule also includes the National WWII Museum in New Orleans to coincide with Super Bowl XLVII in February 2013 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, St. Louis, Detroit (Fall 2014 – Henry Ford Museum), Minneapolis/St. Paul (Fall 2016 – Minnesota History Center Museum) and New York/New Jersey to coincide with Super Bowl XLVIII in February 2014 at MetLife Stadium.
More stops in NFL markets will be announced. The exhibit will be hosted by cultural, educational and sports venues and spend between three to six months in each city.
"Gridiron Glory is designed to galvanize fans in a compelling way and provides a perfect platform for us to reach new audiences."
"We're always looking for new and innovative ways to extend the experience of the Hall of Fame beyond our walls in Canton," Joe Horrigan, vp-communications/exhibits for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, said in a statement. "Gridiron Glory is designed to galvanize fans in a compelling way and provides a perfect platform for us to reach new audiences."
The tour will include new material from NFL Films, immersive fan experiences and specially designed "Hometown Tribute" sections to spotlight each local team. There will also be educational programming, an on-site retail element and special appearances from Hall of Famers.
Among the hundreds of Pro Football Hall of Fame artifacts on display will be the Vince Lombardi Trophy, original Hall of Fame busts, Knute Rockne's 1919 Massillon Tigers helmet, a game-worn jersey from Jim Brown, Jerry Rice's career touchdown receptions record football, Drew Brees' 5,000-yard passing record jersey and Sanders' game-worn jersey from 1997, when he became only the third player in history to break the single-season 2,000-yard rushing mark.
According to Sanders, who starred at running back with the Detroit Lions from 1989-98 and was enshrined in 2004, "When the Hall of Fame approached me about Gridiron Glory, I knew I had to be involved. I have a great amount of respect for the history of the game and this exhibit will really open people's eyes. I know it did mine."

Anderson shutout for Senators stops Penguins' streakby Sean Farrell
OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators' special teams did a number on the Pittsburgh Penguins, who saw another key player felled by injury.
Craig Anderson made 27 saves for his second shutout, Erik Karlsson had a goal and two assists, and Ottawa ended Pittsburgh's seven-game winning streak with a 5-0 victory Monday.
Zack Smith, Bobby Ryan, Kyle Turris and Cory Conacher scored for the Senators, who ended a three-game skid (0-2-1).
Ottawa led 2-0 in the second period and put the game out of reach with three goals in the third, including Karlsson's 10th of the season at 1:36.
"It was a nice goal, and it was nice to get it early in the third and kind of kill the game a bit," Karlsson said. "It's nice to come out in the third, and we really kept going. We didn't want to try and give them any reasons to come back in the game and the third goal there was nice to see early."
Anderson recorded his 24th career shutout, the Senators' first since he stopped 35 shots in a season-opening 1-0 win against the Buffalo Sabres on Oct. 4.
Pittsburgh went 0-for-7 on the power play, including a 5-on-3 opportunity for 1:12 with 3:31 remaining in the third period. Ottawa went 1-for-3 with the man advantage.
"They got some momentum in the second but our [penalty] killers did a great job," Anderson said. "When we had the puck on our stick we made sure we got it down 200 feet, and that's usually when you get punished on the penalty kill. When you get an opportunity to clear and you don't clear, that's when teams usually punish you and they make you pay, so we really focused on that, and made sure that when we did have it on our stick we got the puck down the ice."
Pittsburgh captain and NHL scoring leader Sidney Crosby's point streak ended at 10 games. Crosby, who has 54 points and was named the League's Second Star of the Week on Monday, had seven goals and 10 assists during it.
It was the eighth time Crosby has been held without a point in 39 games. The Penguins were shut out for the second time this season; Pittsburgh lost 1-0 to the Colorado Avalanche on Oct. 21.
Marc-Andre Fleury, who played his 499th regular season game, made 24 saves in his 479th start.
"I think we knew we weren't going to win every game until the end, but every time you lose it's frustrating, especially when it's 5-0," Fleury said.
Pittsburgh, which had won 12 of its previous 13 games despite several injuries, lost forward Pascal Dupuis to a lower-body injury on his second shift of the game. Dupuis collided with Crosby, whose right skate flew perilously close to his linemate's head after he was upended by an open-ice hip check by Ottawa defenseman Marc Methot.
"He tried going wide on me so I'm going to play him physical," Methot said. "I respect him. I've got a ton of respect for that player, and I think he's one of the best players in the world, and you've got to play him hard, and that was our goal tonight."
Dupuis favored his right leg as he was helped off the ice by linemate Chris Kunitz and defenseman Matt Niskanen. The Penguins right wing did not return, and Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma had no update on his condition after the game.
The Penguins were already missing forwards Evgeni Malkin, Beau Bennett, Andrew Ebbett, Tanner Glass and Jayson Megna, defensemen Kris Letang, Paul Martin, Brooks Orpik and Rob Scuderi, and goalie Tomas Vokoun, all of whom are injured, and defenseman Deryk Engelland, who served the last of a five-game suspension.
"I'm pretty sure shaking my head doesn't do any good," Bylsma said. "It seems like an awful lot, but right now we're just hoping that it's not a severe injury."
Crosby left the game briefly moments after Dupuis went to the dressing room but he returned within minutes. He was upset about Methot's hit.
"I haven't seen the replay," Crosby said. "I don't know how low it was. He almost blew my knee out, so it was pretty low. I don't know if it was right above my knee or above my hip, but it was awfully close."
Told about Crosby's comments, Methot defended the check as a clean hit.
"I've been throwing hip checks my whole career," Methot said. "If I'm still on my two feet, and I'm 6-foot-3, I don't think I can get much lower than his knees."
Karlsson, who assisted on Ryan's team-leading 17th goal in the second period, made it 3-0 lead with a highlight-reel goal at 1:36 of the third. The Senators defenseman broke down the right side to take a pass from Clarke MacArthur. He cut inside on Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta as he approached the blue line and snapped a shot from the right faceoff dot over Fleury's left arm into the top right corner.
Karlsson got his third point with an assist on Turris' ninth goal, which made it 4-0 at 12:42.
Conacher, who drew into the lineup after forward Mika Zibanejad was a last-minute scratch because of the flu, scored Ottawa's fifth goal at 14:02.
"Our power play hurt us," Crosby said. "We had some real good chances there in the second, 2-0 game, and it didn't feel like they were getting much there in the second period and we didn't capitalize on those power plays we got, and then Karlsson's goal in the third kind of took a lot of momentum away from us and they just kind of sat back and sat on that lead, so unfortunately I think the big difference in the game was just power plays in the second period."
The Penguins were down to 10 skaters on their bench at one point when Crosby and Niskanen went to the dressing room briefly in the first period after Dupuis left the game. Referee Dean Morton also left the game momentarily after he was hit by the puck squarely on the back on a hard dump-in by Ottawa's Cody Ceci.
Smith scored for a second straight game to give the Senators a 1-0 lead at 6:54 of the first. After winning a draw against Pittsburgh's Jussi Jokinen in the right faceoff circle of the Penguins' zone, Smith drove to the net as the puck went back to Ceci.
Fleury stopped the 20-year-old defenseman's shot from the right point, but Smith got the rebound and put a backhand shot inside the right post for his seventh goal.
Ryan scored on a power play at 5:46 of the second period to put Ottawa up 2-0. He deflected Chris Phillips' slap shot from the left point past Fleury for his team-leading 17th goal.
Anderson stopped James Neal on a breakaway just past the 12-minute mark of the second.

DETROIT, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- General Motors Co.'s directors announced a quarterly dividend of 30 cents per common share Tuesday, its first premium since coming out of bankruptcy in 2009.
"Our fortress balance sheet, substantial liquidity, consistent earnings and strong cash flow provide the foundation for an ongoing payout," Dan Ammann, executive vice president and chief financial officer who will become GM's president Wednesday, said in a release posted on the Detroit automaker's website.
"This return to shareholders is consistent with our capital priorities and is an important signal of confidence in our plans for a continuing profitable future."
GM said it has posted 15 straight profitable quarters through the third quarter of 2013, generating $16.3 billion in adjusted automotive free cash flow.
The dividend will be payable March 28 to all common stockholders of record as of March 18.
GM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson, who is retiring Wednesday, said the company "is designing high-quality, world-class vehicles for our customers and delivering consistently solid financial results."
He said GM's board "understands that our investors should share in this success."
MLive.com reported GM's stock was trading at $40.02 per share, up 44 cents, at the closing bell Tuesday and was up to $41.20 in after-hours trading.

provides complex proteins and amino acids necessary to spur coral tissue growth. Ideal
nutrition when fragmenting small polyped stony corals and propagating soft corals, octocorals,
and colonial anemones as it supplies readily digestible nutrition that is easier for corals to
convert into energy
Shake well before using. Add 5 to 10 ml (1 to 2 tsp) per 50 gallons of aquarium capacity in an
area of high water flow. During periods of coral propagation, KENT Marine Coral Accel should
be used daily. Depending upon the animal load and coral nutrient demand, it is possible to
overfeed. Keep this in check by monitoring water quality and adjust feeding amount as
Does not require refrigeration or freezing after opening, however refrigerating will prolong
useful life.
Target feeding individual animals is the most efficient feeding method. Using a KENT Marine
SeaSquirt, dispense food where it will flow over animal.
For best results, alternate use with KENT Marine PhytoPlex, KENT Marine MicroVert, and KENT
Marine ChromaPlex to provide the nutrient variety readily available in their natural habitat.
Coral Nutrition
Providing an array of nutritional sources for invertebrates and planktivorous fish is
essential when simulating the natural aquatic environment. In the ocean, corals and other
aquatic life receive nourishment from a number of different sources and can grab the endless
supply of tiny organisms that are floating by. What they choose to eat is really dependent
upon whatever comes to them and what fits inside their proverbial mouths. KENT Marine Coral
Nutrition products provide the necessary variety of plankton, zooplankton, marine lipids,
spirulina and kelp for enhanced health, growth and coloration.
Target-feeding individual animals is the most efficient method to ensure that food will be
consumed by the targeted animal and not end up in the filter or skimmer. Use a KENT Marine
SeaSquirt, to accurately dispense food where it will flow over the animal.

Due to popular demand, I have updated my 2010 graph on top marginal tax rates. In addition, during this year's tax season, I will be selling copies of my Top Marginal Tax Rates graph as a tabloid size 11"x17" poster.
FYI, your marginal tax rate is the rate you pay on the "last dollar" you earn; but when you view the taxes you paid as a percentage of your income, your effective tax rate is less than your marginal rate, especially after you take into account the deductions and exemptions, i.e. income that is not subject to any tax.

At Work: Holiday hiring expected to increase this year
In the longer term, middle-income jobs also are rising in some areas.
This news should snap you out of your government-shutdown blues and frustration with Washington:
Nearly 40% of retailers say they will beef up hiring for the holidays. That's up from 36% last year at this time and 29% in 2011, according to CareerBuilder's annual survey conducted by Harris Interactive.
STORY: Amazon to deliver 70K holiday jobs
STORY: Another firm predicts less holiday help
This includes high-end retailers like Macy's, which is expected to hire 83,000 for its stores, call centers, distribution centers and online fulfillment centers, and Wal-Mart, which says it will hire 55,000 seasonal workers.
Don't despair if retail is not your thing but short-term work is.
Other types of corporate settings have opportunities as companies wrap up the year and need extra hands to help them handle everything from customer service, sales and marketing to shipping and delivery, inventory management, clerical work, and accounting and finance.
Where are these employers? They're in information technology, leisure and hospitality, and financial services. And just as hiring goes the other nine months of the year, they like to hire people they know.
So the majority will re-hire some folks they've hired before.
But they also like to recruit: 45% tend to target college students. More than 50% will seek out retirees and experienced workers who are not retired.
Now is the time to apply since most companies won't be accepting applications after October.
Also, think about who else needs help as we enter the holiday season and what kinds of jobs that could mean. Some include jobs for recruiters who would look for people to fill seasonal jobs, people with the skills to help companies design window displays and decorations, people to put up and take down decorations, and operational and customer service representatives at companies that fulfill seasonal requests.
Another ray of sunshine comes from a different CareerBuilder survey that found that "middle-skill" or "middle-wage" jobs in the United States are thriving — at least in some fields and geographic areas.
This is particularly heartening news since Federal Reserve research shows that the share of these jobs had dropped from 25% in 1985 to just above 15% today. Factors such as automation and companies moving positions out of the country are to blame.
For the purpose of this study, which was done with Economic Modeling Specialists, middle-wage jobs are defined as those paying $13.84 to $21.13 an hour.
Even though more high-wage and low-wage jobs are available overall, some areas of manufacturing, health care and energy have middle-wage jobs that are stable and growing.
These positions include the following:
• Customer service representatives, up 6%.
• Tractor-trailer truck drivers, up 7%.
• Bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerks, up 4%.
• Machinists, up 14%.
• Inspectors, testers, sorters, samplers and weighers — they review raw materials and assembled parts and products — up 8%.
• Welders, cutters, solderers and brazers — workers who join metal parts — up 11%.
• Computer-controlled machine-tool operators, up 17%.
• Oil, gas and mining service unit operators, up 38%.
Wyoming has had the highest percentage of these jobs added since the recession; 45% of new jobs created in the state since 2010 have been middle-wage.
Most of this work requires experience or certificates and degrees that are offered at community colleges. Some employers give on-the-job training.
Looking further at the bright side, remember that you can start out part time or doing work you hadn't planned. But your position always can turn into more if you prove to be invaluable.
Who knows, maybe you'll start out doing one kind of work and discover you like the company enough to see where else things might go.

Jenna Jameson got a little too rough ahead of her birthday celebrations this weekend.
The "Queen of Porn" was arrested for battery before 8PM, taking the concept of pregaming to a whole new level.
TMZ reports that Jameson allegedly battered someone in the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach on Saturday night (April 6).
The victim, whose name hasn't been released, put Jameson under citizen's arrest until police came. Cops arrested and released the bombshell.
It's unclear whether Jameson made it to her scheduled early birthday bash that night — she was slated for a 9PM appearance at the Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim.
It's not Jameson's first time in handcuffs — for a negative reason. The video vixen has previously been arrested for a DUI after crashing her car into a light pole. This is in addition to the slew of trouble and torrid domestic disputes she's had with Tito Ortiz.
We'd say to save the drama for the screen, but nothing she's done has been particularly renowned for its plot.

Many exercises require balance, and Michael "Frosti" Zernow, a Parkour athlete and instructor, focuses on that skill in this rail balancing move. Parkour is made up of many skills, each of which contributes to the ability to "fly" through the air.
What it does
This move is not so much a workout as it is a way to train yourself to stay controlled and keep your balance. You'll hone your recovery ability and your sense of where your body is in space.
How to do it
Find a fence or narrow wall a few feet off the ground, get up and try to walk along it, stretching out and adjusting the placement of your arms to retain your balance. If you're a beginner, start with rails or walls close to the ground, preferably surrounded by a soft landing such as sand or turf. You can also use something to help you stay balanced, such as another rail or a nearby wall.
How much
To test your developing balance skills, see how long you can stay balanced on the rail. If you can walk up and down it for 30 seconds, you're doing great.
