Telugu cinema has always been hero centric. There is no doubt about it, but every era and every generation had seen some iconic Heroines who proved they could stand on their own and make a movie click.
My earliest recollection of a heroine centric movie was Gunasundarikatha starring Sri Ranjani from 1949. Few years down the line an actress entered Telugu cinema, first with some minor roles, then as heroine and soon movies were written with her as central character. She then went on to become the unprecedented evergreen queen of Telugu cinema. Her name, with a prefix always before her name, still echoes in the annals of Telugu cinema as MahanatiSavitri. Her filmography is the perfect mix of different types of roles. She played a heroine, second heroine, acted in comedy, acted in socially relevant movies etc. Her movie Kanyasulkam is a bold step at the almost beginning of her career and in those days.
Then we had Bhanumathi the hero of the movies she acted in irrespective of who she acted with. Her screen presence was easily the best among the actreses, the Telugu cinema has ever seen. There have been tales of heroes being afraid to act with her because she would just eat them up with her performance. That there is a sign of a strong screen presence. And she was multi-faceted too. She was a great singer, composed songs and even directed movies. Her performances in movies like Batasari, Malliswari, Saarangadhara and Palnatiyudham are a textbook for any aspiring actresses and my favorite picks.
Vanisri came next and she lapped up many classics into her filmography to become the next undisputed queen of Telugu cinema. Her movies Secretary and Krishnaveni though had big heroes, got her more accolades.
Then came the awesome color movies and with those we had some awesome heroines glamming up the screens and given a chance impress us with their acting prowess. When I think of color movies, the first name that comes to mind is Kanchana. All our heroines are beautiful but Kanchana was drop dead gorgeous and totallty justified the shift from black and white to color cinema (Eastman color). Few years later there were three names namelyJayasudha, Jayaprada and Sridevi. This trio ruled Telugu cinema for a decade or two. Heroes acted with them, re-acted with them and audience started watching movies multiple times for them in the glammed up songs. This was the era when Telugu cinema songs became so beautiful that even Bollywood started copying us. Thanks to these three. And no they were not just eye candy, all three were and are awesome actresses. Movies like Trisulam, Anthuleni Katha, Vasanthakokila are just few examples of their talent.
When movies were shifting towards total commerciality two actresses entered Telugu cinema. One was Ramya Krishna and the other was Bhanupriya. Ramya though started off with author backed roles in Sankeerthanaetc she quickly shifted towards commercial cinema and became the next numeruno there. It was only during the latter part of her career she started doing performance oriented roles. She became the quintessential commercial heroine of Telugu cinema. She gave blockbusters with all the top heroes then. But her performances in movies like Ammoru, Ahwaanam, Annamayya and latest Baahubali became the hot topic during those movies' releases. Coming to Bhanupriya, she took the tangential path and became the preferred actress for the directors who made heroine-centric roles. Sitara, SrinivasaKalyanam, Swarnakamalam, Anveshanaetc were all movies made for her and to showcase her acting talent and dance skills.
The difference between commercial roles and performance oriented roles became quite small with the next duo, Soundarya and Simran. Because these two balanced their careers well doing both glamorous and performance oriented roles to become the top heroines of Telugu cinema until they were acting. Soundarya was the only actress, in all these years, to be compared to Savitri. She was spellbinding in Ammoru, PavitraBandham, Raja, Dongata, NinnePremista, 9Nelalu and went on to won so many awards and a huge fan following among the family audiences. Her movies were eagerly awaited by the families in those days. Simran on the other hand went onto to give the biggest blockbusters Telugu cinema has seen in the form of Samara simha Reddy, Narasimha Naidu, Kalisundamraa, NuvvuVastavani and many Tamil dubbed movies that became successful in her name.
Then came the era where new heroines came in every other Friday and vanished pretty fast. There were too many too fast. First notable name among them was Bhoomika. She is famous for giving her time's biggest blockbusters with top 3 heroes Mahesh, PawanKalyan and NTR. Then Trisha, my personal favorite. Trisha in Telugu cinema is synonymous with the village girl. She brought back the half-sarees and village centered roles into Telugu cinema. She stood next to mass heroes with huge following like Mahesh, PawanKalyan, Prabhasetc and got equal if not more accolades as them. I am counting but I think she is the one actress who acted with most number of Telugu heroes starting from Chiranjeevi to the latest Naga Chaitanya. She is seeing a new peak in her career this year in Tamil and who knows she might even act with more Telugu heroes.
This list would be incomplete without, Anushka and Samantha. Anushka started her career doing the typical Telugu cinema heroine roles but soon she could step up her game with Arundathi and there was no turning back after that. She was not just the numerouno actress but also a big star with huge following, no less than the biggest star heroes. Coming to Samantha, the blockbuster girl. She is one actress who bounced back every time after a flop with a huge blockbuster. If someone adds up the collections from all her blockbusters, that amount should be untouchable even by theBaahubali series.
One special mention for our very own Telugu actress who very selectively is making her own way in Telugu cinema, Swathi. Right from Danger to her latest Tripura and her Tamil movie Subramanyapuram, she has been choosing different roles and making a name for herself.
Lastly and definitely not the least we have the current queens ShrutiHaasan, Rashi Khanna, RakulPreet Singh, Regina, AnupamaParameswaran, LavanyaTripati, Tamannah and NityaMenen. They all are very talented ones and all are working very hard to make a name for themselves. But I would pick two names in these. One of NithyaMenen, because she is the best there is in terms acting. Her movies Mallimalliidhi rani roju, Ok Bangaram, etc just prove the abundance of talent she has. Next is Rashi Khanna. She has two major advantages over her peers which are like Rakul said in an interview, her styling and secondly her impeccable comic timing.
Here's wishing all the actresses of Telugu cinema a Happy Women's day. Even though Rakul said #NoWomen'sDay, let's make an exception for all these women who made our Telugu cinema beautiful and without whom our cinema is totally incomplete.

"Your Ad could go Here"
#386 The Worstest/Bestest Birthday Ever (Part I)
Psychology warns us of "self-fulfilling prophecies;" believing something will happen and then unconsciously making it so. (This is the entire foundation of Astrology.) I get that. But sometimes…do you ever just get a premonition that a day is going to suck, no matter what you do to stop it? Sometimes, deep in your spine, you just know.
I had flown up to
The morning started off terribly. When I get that nervous I get sick, and I was up all night throwing up. I tried to delay the trip, but my mom kept insisting I go.
Part of my worry was how closely I was trying to thread the needle. I barely had time to make my connecting flight in
The initial flight to SLC was in a tiny regional jet, and I don't really fit in a regular plane unless it's a first class seat. I wedged myself in best I could, apologizing to the man forced to share half his seat with me.
To make matters worse I continued to be sick. Six times I had to get up and throw up in the bathroom. I hate those bathrooms. Someone like me can barely fit inside. Once I'm in I can't turn around.
The last time I threw up turbulence caused me to vomit all over the tiny bathroom. I felt terrible, but I couldn't even maneuver around to clean it up. Anyway, we were supposed to be landing soon.
That left the plane's bathroom as the only option. The plane's bathroom—which, if you were paying attention—I'd pretty much soiled. It was common knowledge it'd been me that ruined it. You don't miss a man my size running down the aisle every ten minutes. Shoot; I can't run down the aisle at all, so if nothing else they remembered me when I slammed into them.
I'm a paranoid person by nature, but it's a hard knocked life for a paranoid dude when people actually are looking at you, or in this case, glaring. I was freaking miserable.
Eventually we got to
When I got to the gate I knew I had no prayer. The flight was overbooked by 50, and there were over 30 standby passengers.
Normally as a Non Revenue Passenger you'll get on an overbooked flight, but here it was a moot point. Everyone showed up, anxious to get wherever they were going before the new year, and the airline had to give people $400 vouchers to get bumped. The Non-Rev people were screwed. One by one they filed away, hoping they could make the next flight, but most of them trying to figure out a different route. Myself, I just sat at the gate. I was reading a library book from
When I first sat down at the gate he showed up, walking very slowly. He explained to me that he had dialysis, which I guess makes you not able to walk very well. He had to go to the bathroom five times just while I was waiting, and he asked me to watch his stuff each time. We chatted when he wasn't in the bathroom, and I liked the old guy. He got on the flight, leaving me to read my book.
The jet way door shut and the plane taxied out, ready to take off. With nothing else to do, I was still sitting there. Suddenly the plane came back into the gate. A minute later paramedics came flying down the hallway and rushed down the gate, returning a minute later with a woman. I'm not sure if she had a heart-attack or what.
The gate agent looked up at me. She knew I was a Non-Rev, because I'd talked to her when I first arrived at the gate. (I tried to get her to feel sorry for me by telling her it was my birthday.) All the other Non-Revs and bumped passengers were gone. I was the only one left. She looked and me and said, "If you want to go on this plane, you have to go right now."
It was the first good thing to happen to me all day. I jumped up and raced for the plane. When I got on, nobody seemed to know what had happened. All they knew was that the plane came back to the gate, and now this big guy was coming down the aisle, all the way down (they put me in the back), sweating and lugging a huge bag. (I didn't check anything since I didn't know how long I would be at the airport, so I had it all with me from my trip.) The glares I got rivaled the ones on the previous plane when I ruined the bathroom.
Finally I found my seat, only to discover that all the overhead compartments were too full to fit my bag. I had to give it to a flight attendant to take all the way back to the front, and a ramp worker to take it down to the plane, drive a belt loader over to the high door, open it up, and throw my bag in. I hoped all my Christmas presents weren't broken.
As the plane taxied away, I went to my smaller bag to get my book. It was only at that point that I realized the book was still sitting back in the terminal. I already was bad about returning books on time. Now they were going to build a new wing and name it after me.
Oh well, I thought. At least I'm on the plane! Yes, it took the possible death of another passenger, but here I was on my way to
I wanted a book for more than just the long flight. In the two seats next to me were a young mother and two small children. I know airline rules, and her baby was too big to count as mother and child in the same seat. The other child was clearly on crystal-meth, as he never once stopped talking and jumping around.
There was also a kid behind me in training for the World Cup, as he spent the majority of the flight kicking my seat. I put up with it for thirty minutes, then told him to stop. I tried talking to his mother, but she was in a different row. Besides, the airline is adamant about Non-Rev passengers not creating a scene.
I tried to sleep, fitfully, by resting my head against the seat in front of me, but with the kicking of my seat, and one or both kids next to me crying having to go to the bathroom all the time, that wasn't happening. But at least I was going home.
Speaking of going to the bathroom, my section also included turban guy. I'm pretty sure he was a Hindu or Sikh. I mention this we were only a few months from 9/11, and tensions were still very high. When an old dark dude with a turban shuffles to the bathroom every ten minutes, people start to get nervous. That he took forever to walk there and back (the dialysis), and kept going and going and going only deepened people's suspicions.
People can be real idiots. If anyone had actually taken a look at the guy they'd have seen he was a sick old man; couldn't possibly hurt anyone. But he had dark skin, a turban, and at that time…
I could hear people muttering quietly to themselves, increasing in volume and ferocity with each trip to the lavatory. In my gut I suddenly knew that with my luck something really bad was going to happen. The passengers would tackle him, some sort of commotion. They'd force us to land the plane in
Why do these things keep happening to me?

So a couple of weeks back I made lasagna for the first time ever. I had been avoiding it because it made me think of pizzeria ristorante generic strip mall Italian food. Like I said in my Southwest Lasagna post, I'm a snob, I'll freely admit that… That's what happens when you work in three and four star restaurants for almost half of your life! But slowly I'm trying to get over myself, so to speak, and reacquaint myself with things I loved as a kid: lasagna, baked ziti, mac 'n cheese, casseroles, meatloaf, etcetera (I think that's the first time I've ever actually spelled that word out, lol). Well I think I opened Pandora's box, because ever since that Southwest Lasagna I've been craving more! When my wife came home from the store with a couple of pounds of ground beef my first thought was to make another lasagna, but I didn't want to repeat the Southwest, and I didn't want to do just a regular old lasagna, I wanted to have fun with it. So what to do? Well, after bouncing a few ideas around in the 'ole noggin I decided to do a play on a Philly Cheesesteak… and it was delicious!
Serves 6-8
I know there are different sized lasagna pans, for this recipe I used a 9.5 x 14″ pan that's about 4″ deep. If you're using a different size you'll have to adjust your ingredient portions accordingly.
1tbsp Olive Oil
2lb Ground Beef
8oz Mushrooms, sliced
2c Green Bell Pepper, chopped
1c Spanish Onion, chopped
15oz Cheese Dip (I used Tostitos Smooth & Cheesy Dip)
2tsp Salt, (1) 1tsp portions and (2) 1/2tsp portion
2tsp Ground Black Pepper, (1) 1tsp portions and (2) 1/2tsp portion
2tsp Garlic Powder, (1) 1tsp portions and (2) 1/2tsp portion
15 Lasagna Noodles
16oz Ricotta Cheese
1/3c Grated Parmesan
1 Large Egg
16oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Heat your oven to 350F.
Heat the olive oil at medium-high heat in a large pot, add the sliced mushrooms and 1/2tsp each of salt, pepper and garlic powder, cook until lightly browned. Add the ground beef, as well as 1tsp each of salt, pepper and garlic powder, cook until lightly browned. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, bell pepper and cheese dip, simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool at room temperature.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook off your lasagna noodles in three separate batches of five noodles. Cook them for 3 minutes less than instructed on the packaging. Lay the cooked noodles out on foil or wax paper to keep their shape and so they don't stick to one another while you are finishing the batches.
In a large bowl combine you ricotta, grated parmesan and egg with 1/2tsp each of salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Layer half of your meat mixture evenly in the bottom of the lasagna pan. Top the meat mixture with five noodles, four horizontal and one vertical along the bare edge (you'll have to cut off about 3″ from the end of the vertical noodle to match the width of the pan if you're using the same dish as me). Spread 1/3 of your ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Spread 1/2 of your remaining meat mixture over the ricotta, top evenly with 4oz of shredded cheddar, then top with another layer of noodles. Once again spread 1/3 of your ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Spread the remainder of your meat mixture over the ricotta, top evenly with 4oz of shredded cheddar, then top with a final layer of noodles. Spread the remainder of your ricotta over the top layer of noodles, then evenly top the ricotta with the final 8oz of shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil… The foil shouldn't be touching the top layer if you're using the right dish, but if for some reason it is spray the bottom of the foil with baking spray to stop the cheese from sticking. Bake the lasagna in the oven for 30 minutes covered at 350F, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes at 350F, or until the top layer of cheese is melted and lightly browned along the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
There you have it, a Philly Cheesesteak Lasagna… Enjoy!

Last year was certainly a good one for the markets, with the Dow Jones up 26.5% and the NASDAQ's 38.32% boost. Overseas, Japan's Nikkei 225 price-only index posted a 38.81% return.
As a result, mutual funds posted stellar results as well. Domestic equity funds jumped 32.34% on average in 2013, while world equity funds improved 16.82%, Lipper experts said during a conference call on Thursday.
As Lipper reported at year end, equity funds posted their sixth consecutive quarter of positive returns, despite the Federal Reserve's tapering announcement, in the fourth quarter. During the period, equity funds improved 7.08%, and 85 of Lipper's 95 equity and mixed-equity fund classifications posted positive returns.
U.S. diversified equity funds rose 8.76% in the fourth quarter, while world equity funds improved 5.55%. Mixed-asset funds rose 4.57%, and sector equity funds gained 3.40%. On the down side, precious-metals equity funds dropped 13.90%, dedicated short-bias funds declined 12.36%, and commodities/precious-metals funds sank 7.98%.
Though they had negative returns for the year (-11.08%), India Region Funds soared by 13.66% in the final three months of 2013. European region funds recorded gains of 8.31% in the fourth quarter.
For the first quarter in five, large-cap funds improved 10.15%, while multi-cap funds posted a Q4 return of 9.39%. Lipper says there was "no clear winner" in the style groups, with value-oriented funds rising 9.49%, growth-oriented funds 9.40% and core-oriented funds 9.31%. Large-cap growth funds soared 10.73%, helped by the strong performance and heavy weighting in the information technology, consumer discretionary and health care sectors.
Fund Flows
Lipper's preliminary Q4 2013 data also shows that investors were net purchasers of fund assets during the period. They added about $40.8 billion to the conventional funds business (excluding ETFs) and about $154 billion for the full-year 2013. Non-U.S. equity funds attracted $31.5 billion versus $8 billion for domestic funds in the final three months of the year.
Investors were net purchasers of large amounts of conventional equity funds ($39.3 billion) and money market funds ($39.5 billion) in the fourth quarter but were net redeemers of taxable fixed income funds (-$20.2 billion) and municipal bond funds (-$17.9 billion).
For 2013, U.S. diversified equity funds had positive flows of nearly $51 billion. Sector equity funds drew some $23 billion, and world equity funds attracted more than $111 billion of assets. Taxable fixed-income products had inflows of close to $25 billion last year, while municipal-debt funds lost roughly $60 billion in assets.

I've noticed that I don't always get a reply notification. I think this is because the end user isn't always hitting the Space bar after the "@" auto-complete function is enacted.
That is, when replying to someone, hitting the @ sign and then a couple letters, you will get that little "pop-up" that shows the auto-complete name. Pressing Tab completes the user's name, but it places the cursor directly behind the last character, so that if they don't press the Space bar before typing the reply, it messes up the user name and no reply is received:
@LarsTechYou never answered me...
Yes, the end user should be a little more careful.
But it seems like a simple little enhancement to just add a space after auto-completing the name so that the cursor is already in position to start typing the actual message and it helps avoid the inadvertent missed reply.

Kelly also appeared in the 2008 comedy Ghost Town as the ghost of a construction worker. That same year, Kelly also had a small voice part in the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV as an Italian gangster that accompanied the main character on a mission. He was featured as Louis CK's brother during the first season of the FX sitcom Louie. In April 2010, Kelly started his own podcast, entitled You Know What Duude!. After a couple of stylistic changes, the program currently features a rotating lineup of comedians, with Dan Soder and Kelly Fastuca being the two permanent names co-starring with Kelly.

Forays into Fieldbus Technology Pay Off
Another stellar article by John Rezabek, Ashland Chemical, was published in Control's magazine last month, and I'd like to highlight it. John, as many of you may know, is the End User Advisory Council Chairman for the Fieldbus Foundation, and a big reason for this is his experience, depth of knowledge, and motivation to understand and keep up with the latest trends in fieldbus.
His article covers the message of what some users have heard about "bitter" experiences with fieldbus in its original days. John goes on to explain the key game-changing factors in successful projects as well as advancements that have and will make things even easier for users. There is no reason fieldbus can't be a highly-successful wonderful experience for users (John is one of many examples of a user reaping massive benefits from smart digital technology).
As usual, there is no reason to spoil the message and writing John has so eloquently put together so follow the link below to read his post.
Central & Eastern Europeans Please Join Us!
The Fieldbus Foundation Central & Eastern European Marketing Committee will be hosting a FOUNDATION fieldbus event coming up on May 27th in Poland! If you're in the area, be sure to attend. It's FREE! Oh and don't forget to spread the word!
The event will be hosted by members of the FFCEEMC and guest speaker Dr. Bindert Douma (certified FOUNDATION trainer – STC Group, Brielle, the Netherlands).
The comprehensive agenda of presentations in Polish or English language will include topics including an introduction to the FFCEEMC and the University of Miskolc certified training centre; an overview of FOUNDATION fieldbus – an automation infrastructure for operational excellence; lifecycle economics; planning and implementing fieldbus projects; explosion protection; FOUNDATION for Remote Operations Management; diagnostics and trouble-shooting; open discussions/question & answer session.

Measurement & Control Show 2013 (JEMIMA)
Back on November 6-8th 2013 the Fieldbus Foundation's Japanese committee participated in the Measurement & Control Show in Tokyo. It was a great success. This event, previously called JEMIMA, is the biggest Process Automation trade show in Japan and thanks to the hard work of the Japanese marketing committee, the Fieldbus Foundation booth at the show was very well received. We do not have any hard numbers on the total yet, but the 2011 show in Tokyo hosted over 25,000 visitors and over 300 booths!
On display at the booth was the new FOUNDATION for Remote Operations Management (ROM) technology. This new enabling technology helps to better expand Fieldbus capabilities to remote assets without the traditionally complex custom solutions available in the past. ROM allows for the integration of multiple wireless technologies as well as traditional wired standards into the FOUNDATION infrastructure. The booth on display showed ISA100.11a, WirelessHART and traditional wired HART and H1 all working together in a single system. Since these technologies are all being adopted into the open architecture of fieldbus, it also gives the user the added assurance of scalability for integrating future wired & wireless standards.
Be sure to check out the photos we posted from the event on our Flickr page:

The Fieldbus Foundation also hosted a press conference on November 6 2013 to the local media about updates that have happened with ROM since our official announcement at the show in 2012. Speakers at this conference included the President & CEO of the Fieldbus Foundation, Mr. Richard Timoney, as well as VP of Asia Pacific Operations, Mr. Hisashi Sasajima.
Recognizing People in Fieldbus – Terry Blevins
It is easy to forget and let the contributions of those behind the scenes fade away into the ether of our busy schedules, yet it is profoundly important to not let it nor to make light of such accomplishments. The member companies of Fieldbus Foundation have offered great support and resources to our organization throughout the years, and without many of the hard working engineers these companies provide, much of what FOUNDATION users enjoy today would not be possible.
Terry Blevins is one of those engineers. Mr. Blevins played an important role in the groundbreaking research of the Interoperable Systems Project (ISP) in the early 1990s and later helped develop the FOUNDATION Fieldbus user layer specification. He has also been extremely instrumental in the continued development and improvement of EDDL through his lead role in working groups.

Latest Registered FF Products!
I was attending one of our great seminar roadshows a couple of years ago and was asked by a user how they can know when new versions of their favorite products have been registered. The simple answer was to encourage them to talk to their supplier directly, but upon further digging, I realized this was something not being well addressed by the process community at large. How are the users supposed to know when a new device is available? If they don't know they're a newer versions available how can they upgrade an old device that may not have the full capabilities they require in their demanding application?
The answer is to track and update our members and newsletter subscribers about the latest registered products and to direct them to their appropriate registration page for more information.
If you've ever wanted to keep up with learning when new products are available after official registration, be sure to sign up for our electronic newsletter "Fieldbus Flash". You can do so here: http://www.fieldbus.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=217&Itemid=387

Fieldbus Foundation Releases Updated H1 Interoperability Test Kit
The Fieldbus Foundation today announced the release of its H1 Interoperability Test Kit (ITK) 6.1.0. This powerful tool tests the functionality of an H1 (31.25 kbit/s) fieldbus device and its conformity with the FOUNDATION function block and transducer block specifications. Version 6.1.0 includes new features to enhance device intelligence, improve consistency in instrument configuration, and simplify replacement of field devices from different automation suppliers.
The H1 ITK consists of a test engine, communication stack and function block interface card. An excellent tool for troubleshooting and debugging FOUNDATION fieldbus instruments, it includes all hardware and software required to ensure complete device interoperability. By using the H1 ITK, suppliers can run tests identical to those used by the Fieldbus Foundation before submitting their product for registration.
H1 ITK 6.1.0 builds on the extensive library of FOUNDATION fieldbus block test cases, offering a series of standardized function blocks and transducer blocks that enable increased test coverage for device developers. This includes test cases for new blocks that were previously unavailable, such as flow totalizer, analog alarm, control selector and output splitter, which support expanded device applications for control-in-the-field (CIF).
New H1 ITK test cases are focused on backwards compatibility among FOUNDATION fieldbus devices. This enhancement supports device replacement automation and enables the test kit to verify consistent behavior between device and host implementations in fieldbus-based control systems.
Link to Press Release: Fieldbus Foundation Releases Updates H1 Interoperability Test Kit
Updates to FOUNDATION Spec Allow for Easier Device Replacement
The Fieldbus Foundation today announced the latest updates to its open, non-proprietary FOUNDATION fieldbus specifications. These updates help automate device replacement and enable backwards compatibility among different revisions of FOUNDATION devices used in plant automation systems. End users will benefit from greater predictability in fieldbus implementation, while reducing integration risks and eliminating manual intervention for device configuration.
The most significant updates to the Foundation technical specifications are a revised series of function block and transducer block profiles, as well as requirements for H1 (31.25 kbit/s) device replacement that are now part of the Fieldbus Foundation's device registration process. This enhancement enables the H1 interoperability test kit to verify consistent behavior between device and host implementations in fieldbus-based control systems.
Automation of device replacement allows the configuration in an existing field device to be restored in a newer version of that instrument without manual intervention. This 'plug and play' solution ensures features are consistent between different generations of devices without reengineering the host configuration or changing any other element of the H1 network other than the new instrument.
In addition to device replacement, the specification update provides improved positioner profile in fieldbus devices. This technology supports organization and integration of advanced device diagnostics within fieldbus systems. It provides standard definitions for positioner transducer blocks and includes parameter structure definitions for better data organization with fieldbus devices, including partial/full stroke test (PST/FST) of valves.
For more information, please visit the Technical Specifications page of the Fieldbus Foundation's website at http://www.fieldbus.org. You may also view the Spec Index for a full list of specifications included in the Foundation Technical Specifications package.

The students in your classroom come from a variety of backgrounds, and many of them might not have the social skills you'd expect them to have at their age. Because of this, it may fall onto you to teach your students how to behave in social situations. This can play a key role in classroom management, which you can read more on in this article.
If you're in the education field you should understand why, when, and how to teach social skills. Read below so you can fully understand the reason behind teaching social skills and how to teach them. Learn social styles in an online class, and teach them to your students.
Why You Should Teach Social Skills to Your Students
Because students come from a variety of backgrounds, many of them lack the social skills that they should have at their age. Teaching your students the proper social skills will increase their productivity and give you more instruction time. You can help students improve their daily social functioning, and they will be able to make new friends. This will increase their self-confidence, self-concept, and self-esteem. Take a class to increase the self-esteem in children.
When You Should Teach Social Skills to Your Students
It's important that you teach social skills to your students all the time. Great times to really focus on it is when a student is being isolated or when a student appears socially lacking. Rather than pointing out that student, you can do lessons that would improve or remind students of their own social skills. Take a class in boosting confidence to teach your students the techniques you learn.
How You Should Teach Social Skills to Your Students
Social skills can be taught as whole class lessons, group lessons, or individual work lessons. The greatest part about teaching your students social skills is that they can be crossed with other skills and topics, allowing you to fulfill common core standards while teaching them vital skills for their future lives. Some of the common areas to cover in social skills are hygiene, manners, listening, being polite, considerate, and respectful to others, sharing and taking turns, appropriate words and touching, and how to behave in certain social situations. Take a class to discover the ten apps you need for your classroom.
Great Lesson Plans and Activities to Teach Social Skills to Your Students
Any great teacher can tell you that you can save yourself a lot of time and energy by using other teacher's lesson plans and designed activities. Below are several lessons designed by others that you can use to teach your students social skills. Some of these involve other supplies so be sure to check the lesson plans carefully.
Lesson Plan One: Being Prepared for Class
This particular lesson is taken from a sample of More Tools for Teaching Social Skills in School Grades 3-12 by Midge Odermann Mougey, Jo C. Dillon, and Denise Pratt. This is an excellent lesson that can also help your students understand a basic common classroom management rule – being prepared when in the classroom.
Teaching your students to be prepared for class also teaches them to be organized and take responsibility for their own space and their own things. This lesson begins with a brainstorming session. You should ask your students to explain what it means to be prepared for class, and you should have them give examples. You should also have them discuss the reasons why this particular skill is important.
Make sure you write down the items brainstormed by your students. The lesson includes examples for the reasons this skill is necessary, and you can feel free to share them with your students if they don't come up with them on their own. After the brainstorm session, you should tell them the steps involved in being prepared for class. Be sure to include a rationale for each step so they understand why they should follow these steps.
Along with the lesson, there are also suggested activities that go along and allow you to connect this lesson to the common core standards they might need to complete in other subjects. One of the suggested activities is for Language Arts and involves Paul Dunbar's poem called Preparation. There's another activity for history that involves writing a report about a historical event and the planning involved.
Along with those two activities, there are role play activities available to allow the students a chance to play out situations that show what would happen if they were prepared and what happens if they're not. There are also printouts that go along with the lesson including a think sheet and the steps a student should take to be prepared. This printout of the steps would be a great one to print out poster size and post in the classroom.
Lesson Plan Two: What is a friend?
This lesson designed by Jerry Webster uses the book Friendship According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney. One of the great things about this particular lesson is the way it's set up. It's simple and easy for a teacher to read with the objectives right at the top and materials needed right underneath that. The procedure is laid out for you, and it gives a class assignment, an individual assignment, and a group assignment.
Jerry Webster's lesson is to help students identify their friends and qualities that friends have. There's a discussion in which you would ask your students who their friends are, and you would share your friends too. You would then read some of the book Friendship According to Humphrey, and you would ask the students questions about the book.
After discussing the book, the students are given an opportunity to draw a picture of their friend, label it with their friend's name, and write things they like about their friend. You would then separate the students into groups and have each group list qualities they think a friend should have. This is a great, simple lesson for lower grades or special education.
Lesson Plan Three: Using Polite Words
One of the worst things plaguing our society these days are children that don't know how to be polite. They can't do so much as say "excuse me" as they shoot past you or squeeze past you in the grocery store. Teach your students a better way with a lesson plan done by a person with the screen name CrunchingLeaves. Like the first lesson on being prepared for class, this lesson uses role play activities.
You begin the lesson with a discussion regarding polite words like please, thank you, excuse me, and I'm sorry. You should also tell your students that using these words shows respect and appreciation to the people around them. Allow the students a chance to tell you what they know about polite words, and don't be surprised if you have some students that don't know anything about them.
The lesson then continues with a list of role play scenarios. You prepare for the lesson by taking these role play scenarios and putting them on card stock or flashcards to be passed out to each group. The students will be given an opportunity to come up with a skit that deals with the scenario they were given, and they will then present it to the class. There's also a list of books that you can read to the class or put in the class library for students to read.
Worksheets for Social Skills
Children learn in different ways, and some of your students will not be very eager to join in on the role playing skits. Try to encourage them to join in as that's part of social skills, but you can also accommodate them and give the entire class more practice on social skills with some worksheets specially designed for this particular topic. The Worksheets has an awesome list of worksheets available just for social skills, which you can preview and then download. A few great ones from the website are listed below.
101 Ways to Teach Children Social Skills by Lawrence E. Shapiro
This entire book is a free, reproducible activity book that you can use for your classroom. There are a number of excellent activities in this book on a number of different topics. There are activities on communicating (including nonverbal communication), being in a group, how to express feelings, and so much more. You could easily find an activity for any social situation within this book.
Another great thing about this book is that it's not just reproducible worksheets. There are actually brief lessons included before the activity, and you can easily find ways to expand on them. Most of the lessons are short, not more than a page long, and the worksheets fit in perfectly with the lessons.
Social Skills Practice Pack (Chapter 7) taken from Supporting, Speech Language and Communication Needs
Taken from a larger book by Kate Ripley and Jenny Barret, this selection is an excellent tool because it includes activities and games for social skills. You could probably use these activities and games with some of the lessons and worksheets from the above book. Following the list of activities and games are worksheets that you can use to rate a child's social abilities. This particular tool is great for schools that want to actually have a social skills program at their school because there are created letters to send home regarding a social skills group.
CESA 6 Media Center Catalog
Though not exactly a worksheet, this document could actually be a great asset because it is a list of books and kits that you can use for your classroom to work on social skills. Use this document in conjunction with the CESA 6 website to gain valuable resources, workshops, and products that you can use in your classroom.
Final Note
Teaching social skills to your students can be difficult especially because you will likely run into so many students that lack them. Be sure to include the parents in the child's progress. If at any time you feel that the student requires more help that you are unable to provide, don't hesitate to offer other resources to the child's parents where they can seek more help for him or her.

à travers un verger is a sound environment which consists of two auditive layers. the outer layer is represented by field recordings of mostly rural origins and with a static characteristics, projected indirectly into the space by four to eight loudspeakers. the inner layer is formed by recordings of five short text excerpts from "à travers un verger", written by swiss writer philippe jaccottet. the texts are read in their original french language, each by five different female voices. these five times five recordings are combined in an algorithmic live composition formed out of primary, secondary and tertiary occurences of the texts with different probabilities each cycle. the texts are projected via headphones into a binaural virtual soundscape, in which the voices seem to come from different directions around the listener's head. conceptually, the outer layer of à travers un verger is "global" and audible by all listeners at the same time, while the inner one forms a "private", intimate soundsphere. in fact, since headphones with an open transducer principle are used, the inner and the outer auditive layers blend into each other. a simplistic view to à travers un verger might read the installation as an attempt to embed jaccottet's words back into the landscapes where they once arose from. philippe jaccottet: à travers un verger, fata morgana, paris, 1975 hyperkult 19, leuphana university of lüneburg, july 8–10, 2010

Eye Rinse
I drove her to a Centra Care Florida Hospital Urgent Care a mile or so from her home. A sign above the receptionist desk read something like, "We continue Christ's tradition of healing ministry." Terry said there was a similar sign blessing her from above the toilet. Apparently chemical spills like this take top priority in triage so we went right in after filling out some paper work. Thankfully the place was fairly quiet. Terry sat on the examining table and a male nurse took her blood pressure and asked her a few questions. She was asked to put a hand over each eye and read an eye chart. I'm not sure how she did on that test.
The doctor gave her eye drops which numbed the nerves in the eye. He then put a little red dye in her eye and inspected her eye with a magnifying glass and black light to look for abrasions or damage. He then advised that she have an eye rinse. A saline bag was hung above her head as she lay on the table. A white plastic contact lens was fitted with a clear plastic tube. Terry wears contact lenses sometimes so she was brave as the doctor put the device in her eye. I don't think I could have done that.
She had to lie there for about 20 minutes or as long as she could stand the procedure. The saline solution ran from her eye an then down her face soaking the pillow. It was a forced one eyed cry. Most people get very uncomfortable and call out to stop the procedure. Terry went for ten to fifteen minutes before she stopped. A fifteen minute rinse is what the internet site advised so she felt it was enough.
Finally, she was given an ointment which she was to squeeze out onto her lower lid. She would have to use the ointment three times a day for seven days. After this we went to see the movie Argo. I loved how Alan Arkins character would say, "Argo f*ck yourself" when he spoke about the movie. It was a very suspenseful film and really well made. We both gave it a 9 out of 10. That night, I watched The Walking Dead on AMC. Zombies died when crowbars, machetes and re-bar were shoved into their skulls through their eye sockets. This happened again and again as zombies were slaughtered. Terry refused to watch.
Prints are available for each sketch for $250 and many originals can be purchased for $400. White museum grade shadow box frames are $100 more. You can e-mail Thor at email@example.com

Think you have to spend a lot of money – or time – to have regular family pizza nights? Think again – this homemade pizza dough recipe is the answer to a meal that won't break the bank. Like this recipe? Check out the Best Bread Recipes page!
Homemade pizza dough from this recipe has been the basis for our family's standard Saturday pizza nights ever since our kids were little. Individual pizzas were one of the first recipes I published back when I started this blog, and the dough is the basis for my favorite type of pizza – Chicken Pesto Greek Style Pizza.
But I've never posted the pizza crust recipe alone, and since it's such a big part of our regular menus, I thought it would make it easier for you to find and use just the dough recipe (which, by the way, I also use as the basis for this pesto bread recipe and this calzone recipe).
After discovering and adapting this recipe (originally in a Betty Crocker cookbook we got for a wedding gift a long time ago…), it was like I won the menu lottery or something – I would make individual mini pizzas and everyone could choose what to put on them. And when kids are little and picky, this was a wonderful thing! Brian and I would load up on the vegetables and they kids would have…cheese.
But as the kids grew older they started adding more vegetables until by high school we were all pretty much eating the same thing. And so I started making just one big pizza at that point, because it's a little quicker than making the individual sizes.
But the individual pizzas? Those are still one of my go-to menus for company because everyone can choose what they want on it, which is so nice when you've got a mix of picky kids, vegetarian, or other special diets. Especially if you're hosting new friends that you haven't learned their tastes yet. They've been very popular for kid's parties and sleepovers, too.
The best thing about this crust, of course, is that it can be ready for toppings in 15-20 minutes – or 30 minutes when pre-baking – which is quicker than going to buy a pizza for most of us (unless you live around the corner to a pizza place…).
Not to mention it's SO much cheaper to make your own pizza than buying one, even one of those ready-to-bake pizzas. In fact, the crust costs just pennies:*
- flour – .35-.40
- bulk yeast – .12
- honey – .05
- olive oil – .20-.40
- salt – .01
Isn't that crazy? .73 to .98 for enough pizza crust to serve a family of 4 to 6! Puts those $20 to $30 pizzas in a whole new light – and even the $10 pre-baked varieties! Just for fun, let's total the toppings for a basic cheese pizza to see how much that would add:
- 8 oz. cheese is around $2-2.50
- 8 oz. can of tomato sauce is usually around .40 (you can add garlic and your own seasonings to make it pizza sauce for a few more pennies).
So you can make a cheese pizza for less than $4. Of course you can add a lot more toppings to this basic pizza and the price will go up, but if you make a simple pepperoni pizza, it would only add about $2.00 for half of a typical package, which usually covers this size pizza, bringing the total well under $6.00.
*prices are generalized from a brief web search, but these are pretty close to the norm and give you an idea of how cheap pizza crust is to make.
How to Make Homemade Pizza Dough
(Picture tutorial to go along with full recipe accessed by clicking the arrows)
You're going to love how easy this is, too!
Mix up your ingredients – no kneading required, but do let the mixer run until the dough clears the sides of the bowl (or turn it over a couple times if making by hand). Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
It will rise a only a bit, but look puffier. You can let it sit for longer and it will rise more, but I'm always in a hurry, and we don't really notice a difference in the finished crust when it's risen longer.
I used to think you had to try to toss your homemade pizza dough and only use your hands to form the crust, or it was somehow 'cheating.' Duh.
I now just shape it into a general rectangle (if I'm using a baking sheet like pictured – shape into a general circle if using a round sheet or stone) and let a rolling pin do the rest of the work to get the dough evenly flattened. Then just finish the edges by hand once the dough is rolled as much as it will go.
We've learned that pre-baking the crust is a key for us to be able to load it with toppings and still get it cooked all the way to the middle. Pre-baking is optional, but try it if you often have gummy centers!
Five dollars for a pizza with ingredients you control and feeds 4+ with a couple pieces leftover (sometimes…)? That's pretty much the reason we've been able to have pizza nights for years and not go broke. Plus I've always felt good about serving our pizza with ingredients I can choose. Pizza is never a 'junk food' when you control the ingredients!

Mies van der Rohe : Space - Material - Detail Hardback
by EDGAR STACH
It is understood that Mies van der Rohe is one of the most important architects of the Modern movement.
But how do Mies' ideas on architecture and on the logic of construction relate to his built - and sometimes unbuilt - oeuvre?
This book investigates this question based on 14 projects, with a focus on the choice of detail and material.
Specially produced three-dimensional drawings provide an easy-to-understand analysis of Mies' construction concepts.

As labs move genetic tests into production using VarSeq, we have been looking for ways to support more of their total workflow within the same integrated expertise used to annotate, filter and interpret variants.
With our upcoming release of VarSeq, we are introducing a powerful and flexible platform to author clinical reports, specialized to the needs of individual labs and tests.
This webcast shows the new VarSeq Reports add-on feature, as well as other components of the total clinical test workflow including:
- Using VarSeq to lock down the exact bioinformatics steps to prepare variants for interpretation
- Compute coverage statistics over targeted panel regions, with sample level summaries and visualization with the built-in GenomeBrowse visualization
- Customize our ACMG compliant clinical reports for lab and test specific parameters
- Go through an interpretation process, previewing and updating a report in real-time
- Produce rendered reports in HTML and PDF formats
- Use VarSeq Reports to export structured interpretation of variants, genes and sample's test results into customized formats for third party and LIMS/EMR integration

Looking for help on drawing stuff in a jPanel
Hello All -
I wasn't sure where to post this, but this seems like the appropriate forum. So I'm using the NetBeans IDE and it's GUI application. I Drag and drop a panel into the frame and I want to draw something into it. So I looked on google and all the tutorials I find explain it in a code perspective extending the JPanel class to one where you can override the JPanel paint(Graphics e) function. I understand how the inheritence works and stuff, but I don't see how i can override the JPanel to paint what I want (ie text or graphics) if I drag and drop a JPanel into the Frame in NetBeans.
I have tried writing a function like the following:
JPanel viewer;
public void DrawSomething() {
String data = "Testing";
Canvas.getGraphics().setColor(new Color(255,0,0));
Canvas.getGraphics().fillRect(10, 20, 40, 10);
Canvas.getGraphics().setColor(new Color(0,0,0));
Canvas.getGraphics().drawString(data, 10, 10);
I called this method inside the main function and nothing happens. I then set a listener the canvas on mouseclick and called this function in the auto-generated listener action. On clicking of the JPanel it flickers and if you click a couple of times eventually the rectangle and text appears on the panel. The problem with this function is that the red color I set for the rectangle doesn't make it red. In C# you set a brush color for images, but I didn't see a similar method in java. Also why does it flicker instead of displaying on the screen the first time?
Basically I'm hoping to get some direction on the proper way of drawing stuff on a JPanel or Canvas in NetBeans IDE using the NetBeans GUI application. I like being able to see what I'm doing visually as I set up the GUI. So...
1- What am I doing wrong trying to draw to the JPanel
2- Is there a way I can have the JPanel draw / update what I want w/o a listener? Or how do I have it update/ draw without some sort of keypress or mouse press?
3- I've looked for tutorials on how to do things with the NetBeans SWING GUI application, but all I find is extending functionality of these base classes which I don't see how it helps if I am dragging and dropping things into the frame. If you have your own tutorial on how to do it just dragging and dropping and stuff it would be great (Especially drawing differnt things to multiple JPanels or Canvasses).
Thanks In Advance
Not sure how to use your IDE.
To create your own JPanel component, you extend JPanel and override the paintComponent() method and put your drawing code in it.
There must be lots of code examples if you use Search for paint or paintComponent

Thanks for the reply norm. But my problem is a bit diffrent than that. The main part of the problem is that I am dragging a NetBeans image of the JPanel onto the Form I'm making. I am using the NetBeans GUI to visually see and place the Swing components and when I do that it auto generates code that sets up a JPanel at the location i drag it to. Because of that I can't overload the paint command. I was looking for a way around this. I know I can extend the JPanel and write whatever I want it to do but then I lose being able to move it around in the visual interpretation that NetBeans provides.
Like I said above if i get the panels graphic I can get to methods to make it draw things, but it flickers alot before it will even stay on screen and only when i have it set to a listener for input.

Wealthy Affiliate Websites
One of the first question that pops up to your mind the moment you get interested in Affiliate Marketing is :
"Can I promote a product without a website?" or "Can I be an Affiliate Marketer even with a website / blog?"
I know, because I myself asked that question, I googled it many times!
Although it is possible to be an Affiliate Marketer without a website (by using other forms such as YouTube or other social media) and like what other people are saying… I don't believe it otherwise not even convinced.
Having or owning a website gives you more authority and credibility.
The good news is, you can have a website or multiple websites under Wealthy Affiliate "roof" through SiteRubix platform.
Since your website is the foundation of your business, it is important to have a well functioned platform that gives you tools you need to create and operate a successful business in Online World and you can avail it in WA too.
Aside from the fact that you can build your website quickly within Wealthy Affiliate through its' SiteRubix platform, it provides hosting as well with very strong features such as :

Wealthy Affiliate Tool for Creating Keyword-Rich Content
To have a website means you have to create contents, not just any contents it has to be Keyword Rich so you'll have a better chance of ranking in Google.
But unfortunately this is not an easy task, and I do believe that many affiliates/bloggers struggle when it comes to writing content that will rank in Google. Your content should be efficient enough to compete with others, others meaning MILLIONS OF THEM!
You have to be concern and focus on different area to be able to create and publish keyword-rich and SEO friendly content.
Out there you can find Keyword Research Tools. Some of them are free but most of the ones that functions well comes with a price tag.
Luckily, Wealthy Affiliate provides Jaaxy, a tool that can help you with that. It will guide you by showing how competitive your keyword is, how much traffic that you may get in case you rank at page 1 of Google and it shows you how many times people search for that keyword a month.
And as Wealthy Affiliate member you'll have an exclusive access to it. Aside from that, Jaaxy also offers lucrative commission to you as an affiliate.
How good is that?
Membership Options
Joining Wealthy Affiliate offers you two options : STARTER and PREMIUM
I narrowed the things down for you on what you'll get in whatever membership you decided to join.
Like what I mentioned on the first page of this post. Joining Wealthy Affiliate doesn't require any credit card. All you have to do is to provide your valid email address, then you're done.
Once you signed in, automatically you have access to training and other stuff. But since you are in starter membership it is obviously limited. Here are the things that you can still avail as a starter membership :
- Live Help for 7 days
- 2 Websites
- Website Backup
- Beginner Training Course
- Personal Affiliate Blog
- Phase 1 of Bootcamp Training
- Video Walk-Throughs
- You Have 30 searches Keyword Research Tools
- Attend 2 Training Classroom
- Affiliate Program
- Earn While You Learn
- One on One Coaching for the first 7 days
Personally, this is what I like about Wealthy Affiliate– It doesn't or will not push you to purchase anything — a very good and wise tactic I should say.
Although, the Starter Membership is limited, the good thing about it is… it gives you the chance to see first what you are getting into and the things that you are going to get. It gives you time to evaluate yourself, if this platform is for you, or how far you can go.
You can stay as a Starter if you wish. Honestly, you can start building your online/affiliate business after few lessons. If you'll have question or queries at some point you can just Google it, watch a few tutorials in YouTube, read blogs… tons of information in the internet that you can get for FREE! right? So why bother upgrading, yeah?
Well, at least that's what I thought. Actually you can find members in Wealthy Affiliate who are experienced and been in the business for long time, but there came a point that they needed help and turned to Wealthy Affiliate.
One thing is for sure, once you test out Wealthy Affiliate, there's a bigger chance that you would upgrade to premium. Because, that is exactly what happened to me. And 1 out of 8 people upgrade to premium membership. But of course at the end of the day, it will still be up to you.
The Wealthy Affiliate Premium Membership gives you FULL ACCESS to its services—-> that means EVERYTHING!
In my opinion right now, upgrading to Wealthy Affiliate Premium Membership, is the best move I've made. What I mean is, if you are serious on creating an online business then why not starting out in the right path from the beginning, right?
Starting with a platform that is SOLID, CREDIBLE, BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR A DECADE like Wealthy Affiliate is the right move. Wealthy Affiliate offers you a community that is willing to help, tools, resources and an up to date training and webinars.
Here is what you you are going to get in Wealthy Affiliate Premium Membership :
COST : $49 / month
- Unlimited Live Help
- Private Messaging
- You can have 50 Websites (25 free and 25 under your own domain)
- Website Security Package
- Website Backup
- Beginner Training Course
- Personal Affiliate Blog
- Affiliate Bootcamp Training
- Live Video Classes
- Video Walk-Throughs
- Unlimited Keyword Search Tool
- 12 Training Classroom
- Affiliate Program with x2 Higher Payout
- Earn While You Learn
- Unlimited One on One Coaching
- Private Access to Owners
- 24/7/365 Website Support
- Website Feedback Platform
- Website Comment Platform
- Website Analysis
Wealthy Affiliate is like a one-stop-shop. With all these that you will be getting… $49 a month is a real steal.
If you are going to get all of those, it will cost you a lot. Let say, Keyword Research Tool, like SEMrush, or KW Finder, the pricing to choose from are : $29.90, $39.90 and $79.90 per month depending on your needs. That alone is keyword research tool, what about hosting? And don't forget, the UNLIMITED One-On-One Coaching!
But in Wealthy Affiliate you'll get all those service in just $49 / month. And probably you would need an AutoResponder down the road. Yes it costs money, but EVERY BUSINESS OF ANY KIND REQUIRES AN INVESTMENT.
What I Like About Wealthy Affiliate
What I like about Wealthy Affiliate is first the COMMUNITY.
I've seen other forums or group where people are nasty and not welcoming.
Wealthy Affiliate Community is way different than that. They are so accomodating and willing to help each other. I was so amazed that on my first day on Wealthy Affilliate, people are already offering me help, giving me assurance that I am not going to be alone in this journey.
Like what I said above, Wealthy Affiliate is like a HOME FOR AFFILIATES. WA Community is like a family that is willing to give you support all the way.
That is one the reason why I decided to go Premium.
No wonder Wealthy Affiliate is getting stronger.

If, YOU are on those list. Then don't join Wealthy Affiliate because you won't be successful. And one thing that I want to say is…
"YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE, PUT YOUR TRUST TO WEALTHY AFFILIATE (whatever platform you decided to join) AND TO YOURSELF AS WELL. IF, YOU DO THAT EVERYTHING WILL FLOW SMOOTHLY. BUT IF, YOU HAVE EVEN JUST A TINY BIT OF HESITATION, IT WILL HOLD YOU BACK."
ummm… I think I made a nice quote there… huh? lol
