Use depth finder to locate hot spots
On Lake Sabine, many anglers have been reporting either hit or miss bird action or too many small fish. This is not uncommon for the early fall. Many times there will be huge schools of speckled trout and or sand trout, but the specks will be undersize. At least they are if the angler launches their boat in Texas.
Folks with Louisiana fishing license that live in Texas but launch in Louisiana may use the Louisiana limits. Lake Sabine is and has long been one of the bodies of water that allows both Louisiana and Texas anglers to do their fishing anywhere on the lake so long as they have purchased their state's saltwater fishing licenses. Where one launches and loads the boat governs which regulations are in force. Although there are a number of fisherman that enjoy going after the schoolies, there are still others that choose going after larger ones.
Many of the professional fishing guides will reluctantly fish in the schools, but they will, when possible, head off to other waters. There will usually be less traffic from other anglers as well as, more than likely, larger fish. Nederland native Vern Stehle, whose middle name should be "Fish," is one of the folks that enjoy locating spots. Rather than fishing the schools when the lake is crowded with other anglers, he locates the fish in another way. At least he does this time of the year. Stehle uses his depth finder to locate either schools of bait fish, shrimp or both. Once they are located, he will anchor up current and within casting range of the target area.
Stehle says he will cruise along areas of deeper water at idle speed with a sharp eye on his depth finder. There will likely be some shallower water that will either slope or drop off into deeper water. Sometimes the drop will only be a couple feet. At other times it will be much more drastic. Depths may run from 8 to 30 feet deep on the drop off. Some will contain troughs for draining run-off water. Others will have shell on the bottom. During the winter or early spring even darker bottom might be the better spot. The dark bottom absorbs the sunshine better than others. Whenever the water is as warm as it is now, the dark bottom is not likely the better choice. Go for the shell when it is in the area or at least one of the submerged troughs.
So once you have located the likely looking spot where there are baitfish or shrimp showing on your depth finder and anchor in the shallower up-current, what comes next?
You need to decide whether to use the live bait that you brought along or plastic lures for fish catching. Whenever possible, Stehle says that when trying to locate the fish he likes to use live bait. Whenever there are live shrimp available, he will take some along. Finger mullet are also one of the live bait choices if he is after specks, flounder or slot redfish. Should his prey happen to be bull redfish, he may choose fresh cut bait.
Which fishing tackle to use will depend upon whether you're going after the bull reds or not. Regular casting equipment with good quality casting or spinning reels spooled with 15 to 25 pound test line and a rod with a stiff butt and more active tip seems to allow Stehle to feel a soft bite easier.
Once he locates the fish, Stehle will continue to use the live bait if he has plenty of it for the day's fishing. If not, he will switch to lead-head plastics. Sometimes he tips the hook with fresh dead shrimp, but more than likely only the lure will be used. By casting out just off the submerged drop-off and slowly retrieving the lure along the ledge where the bait was spotted, he will likely connect with a fish. Sometimes the action will come quickly and at other times it could take a while. It is best to at least be patient for a time. Where that bait is hanging out will be where the larger fish will come to feed.
Through years of fishing experience, Stehle has logged in several likely spots that he depends on during hot weather or windy weather. It will pay great dividends to learn for yourself where some of the hot spots are.

Hi all,
I am new here so I apologize for what is likely an old question, but I could use some advice and didn't see quite what I was looking for in a quick search.
I am a photographer who is heavy into macro work. The longer the lens, and the smaller the aperture, the more light you need. Unfortunately good dedicated macro flash lighting rigs tend to be quite expensive. They also are usually setup in a fixed configuration, which doesn't allow for much - if any - flexibility in lighting direction. Some do not provide the option of always being on either, which can make it hard to setup the shot in the first place. The next problem is that if I use a flash then I'm limited to the 1/200th flash sync speed of my camera, but I'd prefer to shoot faster when possible.
To counter these problems, I've decided to try mounting small flashlights to the legs of my Gorillapod tripod (SLR Zoom version) - but still shoot hand-held. This could allow me to use the tripod legs to point the flashlights wherever I need the light, leave them on so I can see what I'm doing when setting up the shots, and shoot much faster than 1/200th of a second.
I recently got two very cheap Niko 21 led flashlights, just to test the idea, and it seems like the concept has promise. However, along with their cheap price, these flashlights are also cheap in construction. Based on the reviews at Amazon, it seems this model is infamous for flickering/cutting out, and sure enough one of mine is doing that. Also, I want to have a whole lot more light than these two can deliver. They were just for the experiment though, to test whether or not the idea was worth pursuing with better lights.
So this brings me to why I signed up here at Candle Power...I could use some advice on good, relatively inexpensive, flashlights to replace the cheap Nikos with. Here is my best case scenario:
- White LEDs, with relatively neutral color (not too blue or purple). Yes, color can be corrected after the fact, but the less editing I have to do later, the better.
- Very small and lightweight. Each needs to be able to be strapped to the last joint on a Gorillapod leg, and not make the leg drop anytime too soon.
- Super bright. If the light is available I can always shoot faster to tone it down, but there's not much I can do if I don't have enough light to start with.
- Somewhat adjustable strength. While not a "must have" feature, I can foresee situations where it might be nice. (Lighting one side stronger than the other, or only throwing a little light into the background.)
- Does not get hot. At times, the lights will be almost touching the subjects, so I don't want to toast any bugs or cause them to run, and I don't want to risk igniting dried flowers.
- Decent power usage and/or can use rechargeable batteries. If it works out, I'll be using this rig quite often so I don't want to be eating up batteries too quickly. If the light does burn through them fast, I'd like to at least be able to recharge them when I get home.
- Reasonably well made. They don't need to survive a war, just hold together during daily usage.
- Preferably $50 or less, each. I realize I might be asking for a Ferrari for the price of a Smart but since I'm new to this I figured I'd ask.
If this isn't achievable, how close can I get within that price range, and how close outside of it?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The nation's crude oil supplies increased last week, the government said Wednesday.
Crude supplies grew by 2.6 million barrels, or 0.7 percent, to 371.7 million barrels, which is 9.6 percent above year-ago levels, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report.
Analysts expected an increase of 3 million barrels for the week ended Feb. 1, according to Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill (NYSE:SPGI).
Gasoline supplies rose by 1.7 million barrels, or 0.7 percent, to 234 million barrels. That's 1 percent above year-ago levels. Analysts expected gasoline supplies to increase by 1.75 million barrels.
Demand for gasoline over the four weeks ended Feb. 1 was 4.7 percent higher than a year earlier, averaging 8.4 million barrels a day.
U.S. refineries ran at 84.2 percent of total capacity on average, 0.8 percentage point lower than the prior week. Analysts expected capacity to decline to 84.25 percent.
Supplies of distillate fuel, which include diesel and heating oil, decreased by 1 million barrels to 129.6 million barrels. Analysts expected distillate stocks to decline by 750,000 barrels.
Benchmark crude futures fell by 64 cents to $96 a barrel in New York.

MELBOURNE, FL - The Health First Foundation will host its 28th Annual Benefit Ball on Saturday, April 17th, from 6:30 to midnight in the Clemente Center at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne. This year's theme is "Springtime in Paris: A Stroll Down the Champs Elysees."
Guests attending this black-tie affair will enjoy an evening of dinner, dancing, and entertainment aimed at raising funds for a permanent home for the Bright Star Program, which provides grief support for children who've lost a loved one. A program of Hospice of Health First, the Bright Star Center is currently located in leased space in downtown Melbourne. Ball proceeds will help renovate and provide a permanent home for the Center.
Gail Beagley of Merritt Island is serving as this year's Ball Committee chair. She and 24 other Ball Committee's volunteer members are working vigorously to plan this year's Gala and solicit community sponsorships.
Founded in 1992, the Bright Star Center assists both children and their families following the death of a loved one. For these children, the road can be filled with a silent pain that others may not understand or be able to address in the same way as the adult grieving process. Bright Star's services include workshops, and Camp Bright Star, a twice-annual daylong camp to help grieving children through fun activities. Bright Star staff have also assisted with grief support in local public schools. The program receives no federal, state, or local government support and insurance or third-party reimbursement is not available. Families contribute as they are able, but no child is ever turned away from the program.
Tickets to the black-tie event are $225 per person and sponsorship opportunities begin at $1,000. Kimberly Meehan Agee, who is serving as the Ball's Underwriting Chair, is contacting business and corporations for event sponsorships. Sponsors will receive special recognition according to level of contribution, including an invitation to a special 'Thank-You' Sponsor Party.
For Ball tickets or more information, call the Health First Foundation Office at 321-434-7353 or visit www.Health-First.org/Foundation

Israeli officials detained, interrogated and deported five Americans trying to enter the country to "observe the conditions under which Palestinians live," according to a U.S. rights group.
The activists with the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, which describes itself as a national coalition working for Palestinian rights, say they were trying to "gain a better understanding of the situation on the ground," NBC News reported.
"Upon their arrival [on July 17], a U.S. campaign staffer and four other members of the group — all carrying U.S. passports — were interrogated by Israeli border police about their backgrounds and political involvement," a statement issued by the organization Tuesday said.
A spokesman for Israel's Interior Ministry said three of the five campaigners were denied entry for "security reasons" but did not elaborate on what those reasons were.

Yesterday, the California Coastal Commission unanimously denied PG&E's proposal to conduct seismic testing off of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. The Commission denied the project because the harm to the marine environment and ocean recreation was significant while only providing marginal benefits to estimating earthquake hazards.
Over 400 people turned out in opposition to the project of all ages and walks of life from environmental activists, fisherman, local business owners to surfers. There presence had a major impact on the decision. The public turnout was backed by great work by a coalition of leading coastal and ocean environmental groups that provided sound arguments for denial of the project. Special thanks to the Surfrider San Luis Obispo Chapter for their early leadership on this issue.

In sports, everyone is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like Memphis coach Josh Pastner, who didn't even win! Don't think that won't stop him from becoming college basketball's new golden boy.
Memphis was supposedly decimated when John Calipari took everything but The Door with him on his way out of town, but the 32-year-old head coach took his rag tag bunch of SAT fakers into St. Louis and nearly knocked off the No. 1 team in his second game. Their conference (and the rest of their schedule, really) is still very winnable so expect a lot more "boy genius" stories before this year is out. Maybe someone will take a picture of him at an actual game before the year is out too. (Seriously, this is all the AP has on him.)
Honorable Mention: Matt Bradley. He had to leave the Rangers-Capitals game last night after getting beat up in the first period and got six stitches over his right eye. Then he scored the game-winning goal with five minutes to go in the third. That's a so-so night. [Wash. Post]
Isiah Thomas: He won a game! He won a game! I don't believe what I just saw! [Sun-Sentinel]
* * * * *
As mentioned earlier, we're trying something new this week. Since Barry's last post is actually the first thing that most of you see when you get up in the morning, that's the new "Wake Up, Deadspin!" So keep sending your "Morning Crap" photos and they'll generally end up there. Then I'll be making this spot the new daily version of the "Weekend Winner," as way to highlight one key story from last night's sports action. Is this a good idea? Who the hell knows? We're holding this thing together with paper clips.
If this upsets your rigid, Rain Man-like morning schedule, I apologize. There's still ten minutes to Wapner.


text: MOVIES Les Miserables: Film Review 8:00 AM PST 12/6/2012 by Todd McCarthy FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Well-sung but bombastic screen version of the musical theater perennial. TWITTER Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe sing -- and wage a Sisyphean battle against musical diarrhea -- in Tom Hooper's adaptation of the stage sensation. A gallery of stellar performers wages a Sisyphean battle against musical diarrhea and a laboriously repetitive visual approach in the big-screen version of the stage sensation Les Miserables. Victor Hugo's monumental 1862 novel about a decades-long manhunt, social inequality, family disruption, injustice and redemption started its musical life onstage in 1980 and has been around ever since, a history of success that bodes well for this lavish, star-laden film. But director Tom Hooper has turned the theatrical extravaganza into something that is far less about the rigors of existence in early 19th century France than it is about actors emoting mightily and singing their guts out. As the enduring success of this property has shown, there are large, emotionally susceptible segments of the population ready to swallow this sort of thing, but that doesn't mean it's good. PHOTOS: 'Les Miserables': Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman Pose for THR The first thing to know about this Les Miserables is that this creation of Claude-Michel Schonberg, Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, is, with momentary exceptions, entirely sung, more like an opera than a traditional stage musical. Although not terrible, the music soon begins to slur together to the point where you'd be willing to pay the ticket price all over again just to hear a nice, pithy dialogue exchange between Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe rather than another noble song that sounds a lot like one you just heard a few minutes earlier. There were 49 identifiable musical numbers in the original show, and one more has been added here. Greatly compounding the problem is that director Hooper, in his first outing since conquering Hollywood two years ago with his breakthrough feature, The King's Speech, stages virtually every scene and song in the same manner, with the camera swooping in on the singer and thereafter covering him or her and any other participants with hovering tight shots; there hasn't been a major musical so fond of the close-up since Joshua Logan attempted to photograph Richard Harris' tonsils in Camelot. Almost any great musical one can think of features sequences shot in different ways, depending upon the nature of the music and the dramatic moment; for Hooper, all musical numbers warrant the same monotonous approach of shoving the camera right in the performer's face; any closer and their breath would fog the lens, as, in this instance, the actors commendably sang live during the shooting, rather than being prerecorded. With Hooper's undoubted encouragement, the eager thespians give it their all here, for better and for worse. The "live" vocal performances provide an extra vibrancy and immediacy that is palpable, though one cannot say that the technique is necessarily superior in principle, as it was also used by Peter Bogdanovich on his famed folly, At Long Last Love. PHOTOS: Inside the Fight to Bring 'Les Mis' to the Screen One of the chief interests of the film is discovering the singing abilities of the notable actors assembled here, other than Jackman, whose musical prowess is well-known. Crowe, who early in his career starred in The Rocky Horror Show and other musicals onstage in Australia, has a fine, husky baritone, while Eddie Redmayne surprises with a singing voice of lovely clarity. Colm Wilkinson, the original Jean Valjean onstage in London and New York, turns up here as the benevolent Bishop of Digne. On the female side, Anne Hathaway dominates the early going, belting out anguish as the doomed Fantine. Playing her grown daughter Cosette, Amanda Seyfried delights with clear-as-a-bell high notes, while Samantha Barks, as a lovelorn Eponine, is a vocal powerhouse. The problem, then, is not at all the singing itself but that the majority of the numbers are pitched at the same sonic-boom level and filmed the same way. The big occasion when Hooper tries something different, intercutting among nearly all the major characters at crossroads in the Act 1 climax "One Day More," feels like a pale imitation of the electrifying "Tonight" ensemble in the film version of West Side Story. It's entirely possible that no book has been adapted more frequently to other media than Hugo's epic, one of the longest novels ever written. About 60 big- and small-screen versions have been made throughout the world, beginning with a representation by the Lumiere brothers in 1897, and Orson Welles did a seven-part radio version in 1937. In 1985, five years after the Paris debut of the French musical, the English-language production, with a new libretto by Herbert Kretzmer and directed by Trevor Nunn, opened in London, to less-than-stellar reviews, and is still playing. The New York counterpart packed houses from 1987-2003 and, at 6,680 performances, ranks as the third-longest-running musical in Broadway history (it reopened in 2006 and played another two years). PHOTOS: 'Les Miserables' World Premiere: Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway Celebrate Musical's Big-Screen Adaptation At the story's core is Jean Valjean (Jackman), a convict who has served 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread and trying to escape and, upon his release, redeems himself under a new identity as a wealthy factory owner and socially liberal mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer. But his former prison guard Javert (Crowe), now a police inspector, finds him out and, over a period of 17 years, mercilessly hounds him until their day of reckoning on the barricades in Paris during the uprising of June 1832. Woven through it is no end of melodrama concerning Valjean raising Fantine's beautiful daughter Cosette (Isabelle Allen as a tyke, Seyfried as a young woman); the latter's star-crossed romance with Marius (Redmayne), a wealthy lad turned idealistic revolutionary; his handsome comrade-in-arms Enjolras (Aaron Tveit) and the earthy Eponine, who woefully accepts that her beloved Marius is besotted by Cosette. Well and truly having rumbled in from the film version of Sweeney Todd, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen gallumph through as small-time swindlers in very broad comic relief. Startlingly emaciated in his initial scenes while still on strenuous prison work detail, Jackman's Valjean subsequently cuts a more proper and dashing figure after his transformation into a gentleman. His defense of the abused Fantine and subsequent adoption of her daughter represent the fulcrum of Hugo's central theme that a man can change and redeem himself, as opposed to Jalvert's vehement conviction that once a criminal, always a criminal. The passions of all the characters are simple and deep, which accounts for much of the work's enduring popularity in all cultures. PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes of THR's 'Les Miserables' Cover Shoot But it also makes for a film that, when all the emotions are echoed out at an unvarying intensity for more than 2 1/2 hours on a giant screen, feels heavily, if soaringly, monotonous. Subtle and nuanced are two words that will never be used to describe this Les Miserables, which, for all its length, fails to adequately establish two critical emotional links: that between Valjean and Cosette, and the latter's mutual infatuation with Marius, which has no foundation at all. Reuniting with his King's Speech cinematographer Danny Cohen and production designer Eve Stewart, Hooper has handsome interior sets at his disposal. However, with the exception of some French city square and street locations, the predominant exteriors have an obvious CGI look. His predilection for wide-angle shots is still evident, if more restrained than before, but the editing by Melanie Ann Oliver and Chris Dickens frequently seems haphazard; the musical numbers sometimes build to proper visual climaxes in union with the music, but as often as not the cutting seems almost arbitrary, moving from one close-up to another, so that scenes don't stand out but just mush together. The actors are ideally cast but, with a couple of exceptions, give stage-sized turns for the screen; this bigness might well be widely admired. Jackman finally gets to show onscreen the musical talents that have long thrilled live musical theater audiences, Hathaway gamely gets down and dirty and has her hair clipped off onscreen in the bargain, and Redmayne impresses as a high-caliber singing leading man, but there is little else that is inventive or surprising about the performances. Still, there is widespread energy, passion and commitment to the cause, which for some might be all that is required. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Todd McCarthy email@example.com @thr

Probably the most famous and recognisable circuit on the F1 calendar - and the last throwback to the era of street racing, the Monaco Grand Prix was first staged in 1929 and after being included in the first Formula One world championship season in 1950 and has been an ever-present feature on the calendar since 1955.
The race is considered as a 'must win' race for drivers, a combination of being technically difficult but also extremely glamorous and high profile. The circuit is one of the most demanding with no margin for error as the Armco barriers that line the track are at some points just inches from the cars. Triple world champion Nelson Piquet described it as similar to "trying to cycle round your living room".
The circuit itself has remained virtually unchanged, the Rascasse turn was slightly altered for the 2003 race but the major change was in 2004 when the formerly cramped pit complex was replaced and spectator capacity was increased.
Prior to the race, construction of the circuit takes around six weeks, dismantling takes just three. Monaco is the only race on the calendar not to have a podium, the traditional winners' celebration taking place on the steps of the royal box.
Despite the dangerous nature of the circuit and although there have been numerous serious accidents there has to date only been one death, in 1967 when Lorenzo Bandini died as result of burns. The most famous accident must be that of Alberto Ascari, one of only two people to end up in the harbour.
Graham Hill was often referred to as Mr Monaco as he won five races in the 1960s; this was surpassed by Ayrton Senna who holds the record of six Monaco wins. Martin Williamson
At the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix Lorenzo Bandini lost control of his Ferrari after clipping a guardrail. The car overturned and hit a hay bale and caught fire. Bandini suffered horrendous burns and died of his injuries three days later.

(AP) — Atchison authorities say a truck pulled from the Missouri River belongs to an Atchison man who has been missing since late December.
A body was found inside the truck after it was removed from the river Sunday afternoon. Atchison police chief Mike Wilson says tests are being conducted to verify that the body is that of 69-year-old Garry Sandy.
The truck was spotted Sunday afternoon by a walker along the riverfront near downtown Atchison.
Officials had to fight high winds and strong currents while pulling the 2005 Dodge Ram from the river.
Sandy's family was at the scene and thanked everyone who had worked to find him, and to recover the truck

The Best Horror Movies Of The 21st Century... So Far
Within the 21st century (which is to say going back to 2001), we've seen the release of some horror movies that are guaranteed to be considered classics in the long run, and we've decided to take a look back by ranking them.

The Boxtrolls Spotlights Insane Stop-Motion Production In New Trailer
The trailer is a dialogue-free clip set to the song "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," a particularly fitting tune, considering the artists at Laika are responsible for creating each entire universe that their characters inhabit. They deftly take us through the entire process, from the skeletal wirework to the molding to the painting and stitching the costumes.

The Bechdel Test For Gay Characters: See Which 2012 Movies Passed The Russo Test
The film must contain a character that is identifiably gay, bisexual and/or transgender. The character must not be solely defined by their sexual orientation or gender identity. And the character must be tied into the plot in such a way that their removal would have a significant effect.

Laika's next film The Boxtrolls probably doesn't have anything that much to do with gay characters either, but they've made a fascinating shout-out to gay families in the first trailer, which debuted today on Apple. Phrases like "families come in all shapes and sizes" are usually just bland shout-outs to single moms, divorced families, or kids being raised by grandparents or aunts and uncles (see the ending speech of Mrs. Doubtfire)

I love that time-lapse shot of the guy creating the scene by moving the characters ever-so-slightly.

ParaNorman Directors Explain Why The Marriage Of Stop-Motion And CGI Is A Great Thing
Stop-motion films are special in the fact that they require so much time and effort to make, but making a feature entirely by hand has its limitations. While many directors and puppeteers have managed to invent and innovate rigs to accomplish more complicated cinematography, there's only so far that practical effects will get you. To truly advance the medium there has to be a marriage created between stop motion and computer generated imagery.

Massimo Giacon certainly took an unconventional approach to his design for Abbracciami amore mio, a little figurine for decorating wedding cakes. With a little touch of irreverence towards tradition, the designer imagines a newlywed couple where the bride carries the groom into their new house rather than the other way around. The figurine Abbracciami amore mio sits on a little base so it can stand firmly on the wedding cake.
Born in Padua, Italy, in 1961, comic-strip artist and illustrator, a leading light in the renewal of Italian comic, he divides his time as a graphic artist, designer, musician and artist.

Critics' Pick
(No longer in theaters)
Lee Hirsch, Cynthia Lowen
The Weinstein Co.
Release Date
Mar 30, 2012
Release Notes
Official Website
Harvey Weinstein (ironically, a bullyboy himself) is having a field day with the fact that The Hunger Games, with its kid-on-kid carnage, is rated PG-13, while the MPAA has branded the do-gooder documentary Bully with an R for a few four-letter words hurled at a juvenile object of derision. Weinstein is so right it hurts.
Lee Hirsch and Alicia Dwyer's painfully earnest plea on behalf of persecuted children should be seen by kids above all. The directors accompany a Sioux City boy, Alex, dubbed Fish Face, on an agonizing bus ride; interview an Oklahoma girl, Kelby, who's ostracized after coming out as gay; and tell the frightening story of Ja'Meya, an accomplished student driven to wave a gun at her persecutors on a school bus and facing 45 felony charges. We hear about children who killed themselves in despair and families who want to call teachers who looked the other way to account. The school administrators who consent to be interviewed (or are seen in news footage) profess concern but remind us that kids will be kids.
No one in Bully makes the case that standing up to attackers builds character or that tattletales are wusses. Good. Kids in school should feel, above all else, safe. At a gala screening I attended, Meryl Streep was on hand to speak about what she called a Lord of the Flies episode from her youth: She climbed a tree to escape a bully who beat her legs with a stick until they bled. We all have stories the worst, perhaps, of bullying others to compensate for having been bullied. Bully is repetitive and not especially artful, but children who allow themselves to see the world through the eyes of the film's victims will never be the same.

If you'd rather scrub the bottom of your kitchen trash can than exercise, you're not alone. For millions of people, doing things like jogging, lifting weights, or taking a workout class has no appeal at all. So how do fitness experts get exercise-haters to break a sweat? It comes down to a simple mind trick. "Put aside the concept of exercise as a deliberate, regimented activity that takes place in a gym and requires special clothes and focus on moving more in ways that are either fun or almost effortless," says Emily McCavanagh, AFAA, owner of Fitness Inspired Training in Boston. Here, she shares some of her favorite strategies for inspiring anyone to get moving and learn to like, or even love, being active.
1. Wear Clothes With Give
On days when you don't have to dress for work, put on sneakers and sweats or yoga pants first thing in the morning. This simple habit can make a huge difference in how often you move. (Ditto for a sports bra, or at least a bra that provides decent support.) Anytime you have an opportunity to bend, stretch, or jump, you might actually do it—rather than think about how you might do it if only you weren't wearing snug jeans and flimsy sandals.
2. Try Out Your Kid's Toys
Admit it, you've recently eyeballed a trampoline, slide, or scooter and considered giving it a whirl. Whether you're at the playground or in your backyard, follow through on the urge to play when it hits you. Let's say you were to pick up a jump rope and hop for 10 minutes (not necessarily in a row). You would end up burning as many calories as if you ran three miles! But never mind that, just jump as long as it feels fun.
3. Park Faster
Next time you pull into a busy parking lot, save yourself the time and hassle of driving around in circles looking for a spot near the door. Instead, take the first one you see on the edge of the lot. Yes, it'll be a longer walk to get to the store, but that walk will do your body good—and you'll still arrive sooner than if you hunted around for a prime parking place.
4. Stand Up Hands-Free
Getting up from a chair is something most of us do countless times a day. From now on, get up without using your hands. Instead, stick your arms out straight in front of you at shoulder height and squeeze your glutes and abs as you rise from sitting to standing. It may seem like nothing, but these body areas will get a little workout every time.
5. Blast Your Favorite Upbeat Music
Cue up a playlist you love, and chances are that at least one part of your body will start tapping, twisting, or bopping. And if you happen to be in a good mood, your movements will start to resemble dancing—a great way to raise your heart rate and burn calories. That's why that Zumba fitness class you'd never be caught dead in is so incredibly popular. Stuck in the car? Crank the radio or your iPod. It's amazing how much dancing can happen from the waist up!
6. Make Dishwashing More Productive
One of the most blissfully mindless ways to move is to bang out old-fashioned leg lifts while you do the dishes or brush your teeth. Standing at the sink, kick one leg out to the side and, squeezing your glutes, hold it for 30 seconds. Then switch and do the other side for 30 seconds. Continue this pendulum-like motion until the dishes are done, and you'll have toned your backside with minimal effort.
7. Skip Slow, Crowded Escalators
They're convenient, sure, but mall and movie theater escalators can be more trouble than they're worth. From escalators that inch up at snail-like speeds to ones that are so crowded, people are poking you with bags and breathing down your neck, you'll actually be happier (and healthier!) if you get in the habit of taking at least one flight of stairs.
8. Buy This One Gadget
If there's one tool that McCavanagh has seen motivate people more than any other, it is the humble, budget-priced pedometer. Seeing the number of steps you take each day is surprisingly satisfying. At first, you may merely glance at the screen before going to bed. But before you know it, you might find yourself wanting to beat yesterday's tally or hit a specific number. In fact, you could end up exercising on a regular basis… and liking it.
9. Socialize on the Move
When you're doing something active with a friend or group, it feels like socializing, not exercising. Head out on a hike, organize a game of kickball or Frisbee golf, plan an outing to an old-school roller rink, or just meet for a walk in the park. You'll be so busy having a good time and catching, you won't notice the calories you're torching.
10. Be a Tourist in Your Own Town
Anyone who has trekked from one landmark to another on vacation knows what it's like to wake up the next day shocked by how sore your legs are. That's because it's easy to go for miles when your mind is occupied with sightseeing. Pick up a guidebook to your (or a nearby) town, grab a friend, and play tourist.
11. Just Do Ten
Many non-exercisers fall into the trap of thinking that there's no point in moving unless they're going to run for an hour or bust out 50 crunches. Truth is, starting with smaller, more manageable goals is the best way to fall into the fitness habit. Anytime you have a few minutes to kill, just do 10 jumping jacks or 10 sit-ups or 10 leg lifts. Who knows—10 might begin feeling so easy, you'll want to do more.
12. Walk for a Good Cause
Maybe what you need is a reason to work out that goes beyond your own health (although, really, what's more important than that?). Signing up for a charity walk motivates you on a deeper level. The knowledge that you're doing something amazing for people in need will help you get your sneakers on and hit the road.

The project, which can be streamed here, sold 58,580 copies. The project is based on a self-portrait that the singer crafted as a child. The portrait appears on the back cover of the disc. "Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title," Carey said when she announced the project. "Come on, I was only three and a half." The Elusive Chanteuse is Mariah's new nickname, the singer says.
Michal Jackson's Xscape Falls To #7Michael Jackson's Xscape continues to chart. This week, the project's third week of availability, the effort sold 34,905 units. This is a 48 percent decrease from last week's sales. Overall, the set has sold 258,914 units. Epic Records recently spoke about the album.

Iggy Azalea's The New Classic Remains In Top 10Iggy Azalea's The New Classic continues to chart in the Top 10. The album sold 18,262 units this week, a 16 percent drop from the effort's last week sales. Overall, The New Classic has sold 145,603 copies. The project earned a 2.5 out of 5 in its HipHopDX review. "The New Classic is a musical throne upon which the new blonde princess of Pop can rest her ample posterior," DX says in its review. "As Rap and Pop synergize again—yet this time without significantly embarrassing results—it opens the gate for Iggy Azalea to have an opportunity to shine. Sometimes, when Pop marketing and urban music perfectly commingle, we get Michael Jackson's Thriller. In other cases, Iggy Azalea's The New Classic aims high, but ultimately falls flat."

NEW YORK, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Third-seeded Andy Murray continued his quest to defend his U.S. Open championship Tuesday by knocking off Denis Istomin in four tough sets.
Murray, who already won a Grand Slam title at Wimbledon this year, improved to 17-1 in Grand Slam matches this season by battling to a 6-7 (5-7), 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over Uzbekistan's Istomin.
Murray survived despite having his serve broken twice and moved on to the men's quarterfinals.
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic earned a berth in the quarters earlier in the day with an efficient 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 thrashing of unseeded Marcel Granollers. The Serbian star won 25 consecutive points off his serve in the match, which lasted 1 hour, 19 minutes.
Ninth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland advanced with a 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (8-6), 6-2 win over fifth-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych. Berdych committed 45 unforced errors.
Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, the 21st seed, came from behind to outlast unseeded former world No. 1 Aussie Lleyton Hewitt 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (3-7), 6-4, 7-5 in a war of attrition that lasted just under 4 hours. Youzhny broke Hewitt's serve 10 times, while the veteran Hewitt settled for eight breaks in a tough defeat.

Sullr: Who's Calling Me?
Every now and again, I'll get call from a number I don't recognize. I normally don't answer unless I'm expecting a call, I know who it is, or I'm in a good mood. Imagine my surprise when that number calls back again the next day, and the day after that. Enter Sullr, a new Web service that will take a phone number, search the Web for it, display the business or person who owns the number, and display the owner's location on a map.
Sullr aggregates information from multiple locations across the Web. The service only has data on listed landlines at the moment, but is working to expand its into available cell phone listings. The fact that Sullr is able to search multiple listings for phone number information isn't particularly groundbreaking, but the service's excellent interface certainly simplifies the process.
Simply type in the phone number you're curious about, and click "find." Sullr will search for a moment, and if the number is listed or available in one of the databases that Sullr searches, it will display address information and the name of of the phone number's owner under the search field. Click to see the location of the number plotted on a Google map.
All of this is useful, but Sullr's greatest strength is that it works from any mobile device. Sullr has a WAP page that can be viewed on nearly any mobile platform of any generation, so you don't have to wait until you get to a desktop to try and search for an offending phone number.
Sullr works in about five countries at the moment: the United States, Germany, France, Italy, and Argentina, and the developers are planning to add more countries as soon as their listings become public. The service is completely free.

There were six distinct O'Carroll septs prior to the Anglo- Norman Conquest. While four disintegrated before the end of the 13th century, the two most important septs continued. These were O'Carroll of Ely O'Carroll, from the counties of Tipperary and Offaly, and O'Carroll of Oriel, from the counties of Monagan and Louth.
While the Oriel O'Carrolls disappeared as an official sept resulting from the Anglo- Norman Conquest, the members of that sept were not scattered, but remained mainly within their ancient territories. However, the O'Carrolls of Ely O'Carroll managed to maintain their independence and heritage until the end of the 16th century, and continued to play an important role in Irish history.
They formerly held large territories in the county of Tipperary, but were confined to the area around Birr in the county of Offaly by the rise of the powerful Norman Butlers.

Big data, mobile IT, cloud drove fast-moving 2011, set stage for 2012
Driven by mobile IT, big data and clouds of all shapes, the pace of change sped up for CIOs in 2011 and set the stage for an equally disruptive 2012.
Even for a group of executives accustomed to constant change, 2011 was a dizzying year for CIOs. It was the year of mobile IT. It was the year of big data. It was the year of social media and networking, of BYOD or "bring your own device," and VOC, or "voice of the customer" -- the latter two being trends where the user experience fundamentally changed the role of IT.
These technologies also helped shift old paradigms. "IT and business alignment" finally gave way to "IT-business integration" or "business technology," as IT organizations and businesses acknowledged that one did not exist without the other.
In 2011 the hype of cloud computing turned excruciatingly real, as CIOs grappled with how to use this infrastructure without jeopardizing their enterprises. IT organizations moved beyond thinking of the cloud as a place to put the email service to seeing cloud as a way to rethink their data centers and their delivery strategy for IT services. A growing cohort of tech-savvy employees also forced CIOs to reassess IT's traditional role as arbiter and sole provider of enterprise technology. Before the year was out, the need to mine big data had muscled itself to the top of many a CIO agenda, upending long-established best practices for data management and raising questions about the value of relational databases for analytics.
If there were an overriding theme for the CIO in 2011, it would be "re-imagination." Confronted with such disruptive technologies as cloud and tablet computing, challenged by business users more than willing to provision their own devices and applications, and at the mercy of their business's need for speed, CIOs by and large did not retreat. They put on their thinking caps and understood -- sometimes in a "eureka moment" -- that their IT organizations had to reinvent themselves to meet the demands of 2011 and beyond.
Saying yes to mobile IT with BYOD, iPads in the enterprise
When CIOs talked about mobility in 2011, most weren't referring to corporate-issued smartphones or consumer-grade cell phones creeping into employee cubicles. They were talking about the advent of what they rightly recognized as a disruptive technology: the iPad. Having been behind the curve on the iPhone, CIOs seemed determined not to be caught unawares by the latest iteration of mobile IT. Users, the C-suite and CIOs themselves were through with IT saying no.
If you consistently apply technology where you are really not transforming the business, it is going back to making an omelet with unbroken eggs.
"IT needs to think about moving away from this command-and-control paradigm to one of accommodation," Randy Nunez, senior network engineer at Ford Motor Co.'s Mobile Computing IT Enterprise Technology Research division, told SearchCIO.com in an interview about Ford's decision to adopt a BYOD program.
Typical of the dozens of CIOs whom SearchCIO.com interviewed in 2011 about the impact of mobile IT was Rick Roy, CIO at Madison, Wis.-based CUNA Mutual Group. He realized the need to "get on top of mobility" during a trip to the Apple store in downtown Boston when he was visiting his college-age daughter. "I had a bit of a personal epiphany," he said. "Looking at the users in that store, the people buying those devices, getting a quick demo from one of the salespeople as to what the device could do -- I came to the conclusion that we'd better pay close attention because it was pretty compelling."
By the time the calendar flipped to 2011, Roy already was deep into a meticulous analysis of the $2.8 billion insurance company's 4,000 employees' computing devices and use patterns. His goal was to identify which mobile devices made sense, and where. "You have to be very crisp on the value and the benefit," he explained in a 2011 podcast about his mobility device strategy for SearchCIO.com. His IT team surveyed employees and inventoried the equipment they used to do their jobs. The effort ultimately identified 18 types of users (or "personas"), and those became the foundation for a mobility program that will include replacing half the laptops at CUNA Mutual with iPads.
The requirements for a mobile device strategy should be gathered from the bottom up, but Roy found that strategy should be set "pretty much top-of-the-house." Among his biggest challenges was an IT organization that was used to being in charge and that had long been sold on the benefits of standardization. A standardization strategy isn't tenable in a fast-changing mobile world, he said. "We needed to think about a more flexible delivery model." The alternative would have been to relinquish IT's role "as thought leaders with regards to technology."
Weighing the benefits of private, hybrid and public clouds
For State Street Corp. CIO Christopher Perretta, a more flexible delivery model materialized in the shape of a cloud. Like many companies, State Street's hardware and software use was growing faster than the reduction in costs that naturally accompanies technology development. Cloud computing offered a mechanism by which IT could vastly increase the bank's capabilities and capacities without the commensurate increase in cost, he said. But this couldn't come at the expense of data security. In his case, building a private cloud was the answer to the bank's demand that IT "go faster" but still maintain control of data. Like CUNA Mutual's Roy with mobility, Perretta left nothing to chance. A small pilot was followed by a pilot that simulated two data centers with 500 machines that were tested with 120 use cases.
"It's one thing to test it in the lab; it's another thing to have the people whose job it is to keep our systems up and running on a day-to-day basis [testing the solution]," Perretta explained in an interview about his launch of a private cloud. "With any change, the pain of making the change to the organization had to be less than the pain of the current environment."
Questioning accepted wisdom with predictive analytics
In 2011 there were plenty of CIOs, like Atifeh Riazi, who found themselves testing the limits of their organization's capacity for change. Riazi, CIO at the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) --the largest housing authority in North America, with some 13,000 employees, is using business intelligence (BI) and predictive analytics to challenge, as she puts it, the "urban legends and sacred cows" of public assistance programs. Everything -- from how best to reduce operating costs to which investments will actually improve the quality of life of NYCHA residents -- is being examined with BI and predictive analytics. These tools in turn are applied to large sets of internal and publicly available data.
Riazi uses a variety of BI tools that include SAP AG's BusinessObjects, IBM's Cognos and WebSphere, and Visokio Ltd.'s Omniscope application, which runs correlations on large data sets on her desktop. The products, however, are not the point: "It's about opening minds," she said. And that goes for CIOs too: "We have to get out of our comfort zone, which means IT is not about deploying hardware and software."
Re-imagining IT in 2012
CIOs looking for ways to say yes to the iPad in the enterprise
The IT organization of the future: An enterprise within an enterprise
Large data sets pose huge challenges for CIOs, but boost careers too
CIOs have been "making lots of omelets with unbroken eggs," Riazi said, paraphrasing a statement from Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. They have deployed ERP and customer relationship management systems, and other major software and hardware, but the processes, policies and culture of the business remain the same: "You have some automation but ultimately you are still in the same place," she said. The real goal of IT is not about deploying hardware and software, but about business transformation, she added. "You have to break the way work is done, and you have to break it every few years, and you have to go back to the basics and question, 'What am I doing today, does it make sense, should I do it? And if I should do it, should I streamline it, should I privatize it, should I get out of that business?' These are sacred cows. These are questions that you have to ask. But if you consistently apply technology where you are really not transforming the business, it is going back to making an omelet with unbroken eggs."
CUNA Mutual's Roy concurs: "When you're in the corporate world, I think it's easy to get comfortable with what you have. Yet the reality is [that] the speed of innovation, the velocity of change that we're seeing and the acceleration of that velocity is just so enormous. I have become an advocate for testing things even though they may not be ready for prime time because it helps us be better leaders -- certainly, better thought leaders."

Indy 500 - A Slice Of The American Pie
As we ramp up to what many believe is the greatest auto racing spectacle in the world today, here is a story that is a little slice of the "American Pie".
One of the sponsors is a software operating system that really has no single corporate backing in that it is an Open-Source operating system code that runs on platforms that also run Microsoft Windows, known as Linux.
The driver is famous for being a substitute driver for many of the teams who race in American open-wheel racing series and was once a driver of note in the former CART Series before it split up into two different formulas – Indy Car and Champ Car.
This week it is all about Indy Car for both Linux and Robert Moreno, a Brazilian who recently applied for US citizenship.

The TUX 500:
A Community Linux Powered Marketing Program
Linux® is a trademark of Linus Torvalds.
Marketing Linux® has always been a tricky proposition. As a community, we have relied on corporations who have a stake in the Linux operating system to market Linux to the world at large. Today, we have an opportunity to change that, and make Linux marketing as much a community effort as Linux development. That effort begins with the Tux 500 project.
Our goal is simple: we want to collect community donations to enter a Linux sponsored car in the 2007 Indianapolis 500. We need your help! If less than 1% of the Linux community donates $1, this will happen... will you do your part?

I just got back from the track... and what a day for Chastain Motorsports... what a day for Roberto Moreno... what a day for the Linux community!
For those of you who missed it, with less than 1 hour remaining in qualifications for the 91st Indianapolis 500, team owner Tom Chastain made a bold decision. Rather than take a chance on being bumped late in the day, he pulled their already qualified car to see if they could qualify with a higher speed. The idea being that they would put more pressure on the unqualified teams.
Roberto Moreno took the track, and put together the best 4 lap average since the day began... 220.299 mph! This put the car safely in the field, and sits us on the inside of row 11 for the race next weekend!

Roberto was in tears as he was interviewed by television crews, newspaper reporters, and snapped by countless photographers. The crew members hugged each other... Tom Chastain gave his wife Carol a kiss. It was a very emotional moment.
As for the Linux community, tonight we can, and should feel a great sense of accomplishment for what we've done! But we're not done yet... tomorrow, we need to start working to reward this racing team which has put us in the middle of a great story... and has rewarded us with some wonderful moments this weekend! And remember that we still have time to make the Linux presence on the car even bigger!
p.s. For those who watched on TV, did we get good screen time like we did for Saturday's qualifications? I haven't been able to check my MythTV yet.
For helios' take on it, check out blog.lobby4linux.com
Also, there were two qualification shows on ESPN2 yesterday, an early one and a late one. I only got a recording of the early one. If anyone has a recording of the late broadcast, which had our qualifying run in it, I'd greatly appreciate a copy!

91st Indianapolis 500 Bump Day Post-qualifying Quotes - Roberto Moreno
May 21, 2007 - Roberto Moreno (#77 Chastain Motorsports Panoz/Honda/Firestone):
About Bobby More decal on side of car:
"Well, I've turned in an application for my (American) citizenship. On the form, it says there, you can choose a different name if you want to. So I went with Bobby More. I just need to get the accent right. I have not figured that one out yet. "
What did you go through to get up to speed? :
"Basically yesterday, I asked to change the car. We were going in direction quite good. Then we changed the car and got a bit lost. Then people started to get in line (for qualifying). We didn't have time to trim and fix the car. So we decided to try and qualify with the car as it was. Just in case it decided to rain (Sunday). What if it were to rain tomorrow? The car was really difficult to drive yesterday. We had lots of wing, and it was still difficult to drive. Today, we went back to what we had initially yesterday. We worked on that. My engineer did a great job. He focused really when we needed and he was right on. The car was good today. I was doing 217.1 with race downforce. Then they said it is time to "trim. " I was a little unsure. But as soon as we trimmed, the car felt good. We trimmed one more step. Then they said lets trim two more steps. I said, 'No, no. ' We are quick enough. We had just gone over 219.6, which was good. So we went ahead and trimmed one more step. The car wasn't really good, so I said to the guys lets go back one step on the trim and go into line (qualify). We did two more laps before qualifying at 220. I said, 'That is good enough; let's get in line and qualify. ' I'm so glad that I got this opportunity. Stephan (Gregoire) is doing well. He will be back racing again. Thank you to the Chastain family gave me this opportunity. It's an honor. One day, you are nobody sitting at home. Some people think I am too old and I don't have any more left. But do not forget my spirit. It is so young, my strong desire to succeed. I am 48 years old, and today I feel great. I did it. We got in. I love this place. "

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Aeronautics engineer Richard T. Whitcomb, whose legendary NASA research contributions made supersonic flight practical, will join other aerospace pioneers in the National Aviation Hall of Fame Saturday, Oct. 6.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO )
The National Aviation Hall of Fame, located at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, is dedicated to honoring individuals who have contributed uniquely to America's rich legacy of aviation achievement. In the past 50 years, it has inducted more than 200 of the nation's premier air and space pioneers, including the Wright brothers, Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh and astronauts John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, and others.
Whitcomb, who died in 2009 at age 88, may not be as much of a household name as others in the Hall of Fame, but aerospace professionals say his role in aeronautics research is virtually unmatched.
"During his almost four decades of federal service, Whitcomb's fundamental insight into aerodynamics and his practical solutions led to three of the most significant and practical contributions to aeronautics in the 20th century," said Lesa Roe, director of NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va.
Those three contributions include the area rule, supercritical wing, and winglets.
Whitcomb spent his 37-year career at Langley, arriving fresh out of college in 1943. Nine years later in 1952, the young aeronautics engineer discovered and experimentally verified a revolutionary aircraft design principle that became known as the area rule. Whitcomb discovered if he narrowed the fuselage of a transonic airplane so it is shaped more like an old-fashioned soda bottle, he could reduce its drag and increase its speed without adding power. The area rule has been applied to almost every U.S. supersonic aircraft designed. The achievement earned Whitcomb the prestigious 1954 Collier Trophy for the most important aeronautical advance of the year.
Whitcomb's supercritical wing revolutionized the design of jet liners in the 1960s. The key was the development of a swept-back wing airfoil that delayed the onset of increased drag, increasing the fuel efficiency of aircraft flying close to the speed of sound.
In the 1970s Whitcomb came up with winglets, wingtip devices that reduce yet another type of drag and further improve aerodynamic efficiency. Many aircraft currently sport wingtips that are angled up for better fuel performance.
Whitcomb received the National Medal of Science from President Richard Nixon in 1973, the U.S. Air Force Exceptional Service medal in 1955, the first National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics' (NASA's predecessor) Distinguished Service Medal in 1956, the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal in 1959 and the National Aeronautics Association's Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy in 1974. The engineer also was inducted into the National Inventors' Hall of Fame in 2003, the National Academy of Engineering in 1976 for his pioneering research in the aerodynamic design of high performance aircraft, and the Paul E. Garber First Flight Shrine at the Wright Brothers National Memorial in North Carolina. Whitcomb's alma mater, Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, awarded him an honorary doctorate and its presidential medal.
Being inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame along with Whitcomb are well-known aviation artist Keith Ferris, female aviation pioneer Geraldine Cobb, and the late Elwood Quesada, an Air Force general and pilot who in 1929 helped develop and demonstrate air-to-air refueling and was the first commander of the USAF Tactical Air Command and the first head of the Federal Aviation Administration. The ceremonies will held at the Dayton Convention Center in Dayton, Ohio.

At many companies, intellectual property has become an area of focus. Research shows that top-management involvement in IP strategy is associated with better IP performance.
Five to 10 years ago, the strategic management of codified intellectual property rights — that is, patents, trademarks, copyrights and designs — was still a relatively exotic topic. More recently, the subject has received considerable attention in the business literature. Empirically speaking, however, we still know very little about the importance companies place on IP as a component of business and corporate strategy. Although business-unit managers surely find frameworks that align business strategy with IP1 helpful, and though top corporate executives are inspired by anecdotal evidence of selected colleagues' commitment to patents2, these executives also need more data on several important topics relating IP to company strategy.3
To properly assess their competitive situation, these decision makers must first know:
- What does the competitive landscape with respect to IP rights look like? In addition to responsibly implementing IP strategy, managers should know:
- What are proven, successful strategies for using intellectual property at the corporate and business-unit level? What is the role of the executive committee and the board in IP strategy?
- What organizational structures support IP-related strategies the most? What pitfalls need to be avoided?
- How do successful organizations manage the "dos and don'ts" of working with intellectual property, both at the business-unit and the corporate level?
To gain insights into these questions, my research team and I analyzed original questionnaire data from a comprehensive survey of senior IP executives at 34 major industrial corporations, among them industry leaders.

During winter, it becomes more difficult to stay warm and cozy, even indoors. If you don't have radiant heat, eye-pleasing wall colors and furnishings to make your house feel like a home, this can be one of the toughest times of the year to endure. However, there's always room for improvement and you don't need to wait until spring to make it.
If you wish your living spaces felt more comfortable and catered to the cold weather, there are a couple of ways you can spruce them up sooner rather than later. You don't need to be a professional interior designer to transform your home into a winter sanctuary.
Boosting the heat factor
It can be costly as well as inconvenient to rely on your standard heating system throughout the winter. No one wants to have to deal with the noise of a vent kicking on while they're trying to relax and unwind. To avoid this dilemma and reduce your energy costs, consider installing a radiant heat system for your home. Warm floors can instantly make a room feel more cozy while creating comfort underfoot.
Bringing in the right furniture
As TLC states, the right furnishings can make all the difference in a space where you want increased warmth and coziness. Furniture in dark tones can absorb the light in a room and create the illusion of a more confined space, which is perfect if you're looking for an enclosed, comfortable feeling. Just be mindful of this tactic if you're attempting to look for homey furniture to use in a room with a limited amount of square footage.
Creating areas for bonding
If the problem with your space is that it's too large to feel comfortable, you can resolve this issue by separating the room into certain areas for conversing, according to Houzz.com. Position your chairs and sofas to make it easier for people to talk when they're using the area. This can create a sense of family, comfort and make your home the perfect place to gather during the winter.
While you might be intimidated at the prospect of redesigning your home, these tips can make it easier for you to do so. In the end, a radiant heat system and the right furnishings can make all of the difference as you try to ride out the cold weather.
We won't share your information and you can unsubscribe at any time with a single click.
We're looking for any way we can to stay warm this winter. People don't think it gets cold in Texas but it's snowed three times already and we're tired of it I say! We've been looking for help to get our furnace running smoother and I hope that your blog and a few others will help. http://www.theservicevault.net/category/heating-contractors-equipment-and-systems-repair

Looks – Warm Eyes Palette for Smoky Greens
As promised, here's a look using the holiday '08 warm eyes palette 🙂 For those wondering, I really do not think Femme Noir looks anything like Grand Entrance. Femme Noir is almost a black-green on me, but it's an olive, muted green. Grand Entrance is a rich forest green.
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Old Gold pigment (green-gold base), Goldmine eyeshadow (true gold), Warm Suede eyeshadow (brown with green tint), Grand Entrance eyeshadow (dark forest green), Carbon eyeshadow (black), Sweet Joy eyeshadow (soft beige-peach), Prescriptives Blue Grotto Kohl (green-blue), Plushlash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: Enough Said blush (soft peachy)
- Lips: Quiet Please lipstick (sheer beige), Tartlette lipglass (coral-pink)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Warm Suede = Sumptuous Olive; Grand Entrance = Femme Noir + Humid; Sweet Joy = Ricepaper; Enough Said = bronzer; Quiet Please = Fresh Brew; Tartlette = Lychee Luxe
Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Old Gold pigment all over the lid as the base with the 249. On the inner third of the lid, apply Goldmine eyeshadow using the 239. Apply Warm Suede to the middle of the lid. Darken the outer lid using Grand Entrance eyeshadow and drag into crease using the 239. Deepen crease with Carbon eyeshadow by pulling it into the crease. Sweep Sweet Joy eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Prescriptives' Blue Grotto kohl on lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Enough Said blush using the 129, then highlight with Soft & Gentle mineralize skinfinish using the 188. Apply Quiet Please lipstick to lips, and then top with Tartlette lipglass for color and shine.
