Happy Birthday PresentStorm!
Today is PresentStorm's birthday. Go over and wish her a happy one.

Stormii has been such a blessing to us all. She is the best thing that ever happened to Guppyman and the Little Angel. She has brought peace and harmony and joy to their home. Her faith in God is so awesome, it sustains her through anything and everything that life throws at her. When things are rough, she doesn't complain, she says the difficulty is teaching her a valuable lesson.

Stormii is outgoing, caring, giving and generous. If you have a problem, she will pray for you, whether or not she knows you. If she knows you and likes you, she will do little thoughtful things for you. She is not one to run into the store and buy just any old thing to fulfill an obligation to give a present. She puts a lot of thought into it, and she puts a lot of herself into it.
And she appreciates what people do for her.

Stormii and Guppy met on the internet, but the relationship was obviously made in heaven. I remember their first Christmas together, when we were playing Cranium. Their exchanges went something like this:

Guppy: It's red.
Stormii (staring deep into his eyes): The... umm... oh, a red stripe on the American flag.

I have never seen two people who seem to read each other's minds so readily. They never seem to get bored with each other, they never seem to need a break from each other.

Did I mention she's a great cook? You should see all the men in the family lining up for her specialties. She also has an amazing sense of color and balance. I will barely hang a picture without her input.

Now the acid test of a DIL is: would I like this woman if she weren't married to my son? Yes, yes, yes! She is intelligent and funny and easy to talk to. We don't have to argue and fight where we disagree on things; we can respect each other's beliefs. My mother, who is an amazing judge of character, took one look at Stormii and loved her.

So please everyone go wish her a very happy birthday. I know I do.

Travel Tuesday: Sighisoara
Sighisoara (sig -ee- shora) is in Transylvania, in Romania. It is an old medieval town and everyone in Romania sighs with delight when they hear the name. The town's biggest claim to fame is that it was the birthplace of Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracul.

That's the house he was born in-- looks pretty ordinary, doesn't it? Actually, Vlad is revered in Romania because he protected them from their enemies. His methods seem a little extreme to us now, but they apparently worked well then.
The city gates. The clock on top hasn't worked for centuries.

The covered bridge leads from the city square to the church and school at the top of the hill. We were told this was so the students would not get wet. Guess no one had thought of umbrellas yet!

Some views of the town square and the houses and alleys around it.
Sighisoara is well known throughout eastern Europe, but not too familiar in the west. However, on a local sales call , the man I was calling on was wearing a Sighisoara sweatshirt. I was amazed that we had both been there, but, as it turned out, he hadn't -- his wife bought the shirt from a catalog. A good conversation, some pictures emailed to him -- it was almost too easy to make that sale. Now I wonder if I can deduct the cost of that trip as a business expense!

Saturday Photo Hunt: Drink
We had the greatest guide on our African safari! We watched this family of cheetahs eat a Thompson's gazelle. As they finished and started trotting across the savannah, our guide said they would want a drink next, so he drove down to the watering hole and positioned the Land Rover so we could get a perfect view.

UPDATE: Stormii came through her surgery fine. This one was a lot shorter than the one last year, and she looked and sounded good when she came out of recovery. Thank you all for your prayers!

Surgery Update
Tomorrow my dear DIL, PresentStorm, goes into the hospital to have one kidney removed. Some of you may recall that just about a year ago, she had 40 centimeters worth of cysts removed from her kidney. Just in a year she's grown another 10 centimeters of cysts on that same kidney, and her doctor is telling her that while annual exams are good, annual surgeries are not. So the kidney has to come out before it can grow cysts again.

While we are expecting a quick, uneventful recovery, prayers, kind thoughts and good wishes are always appreciated.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
It was only going to be a short errand. While Guppyman changed the brake shoes on his car, I would run the badly grooved brake drum to the auto parts store to be turned or replaced. Half an hour, max.

Store 1 couldn't understand the year and make. I had the brake drum sitting on the counter, but the clerk asked me if I had the car in the parking lot! Well, of course, I drove it here on three wheels. They did not turn brake drums, but they did carry them in stock --- except they happened to be out of stock on what I needed. They quoted me $36 for the part, told me it was at a store in a nearby town, and gave me detailed directions to the store.

As I was heading for Store 2, I noticed their competitor's store on the way. This competitor does turn brake drums, so I whipped into their parking lot. I waited about 15 minutes to talk to the guy who does the actual turning. He did not have calipers big enough to measure the drum, so he got out a measuring tape. I had two big problems with this: he needed to measure thousandths of an inch, which you cannot do with a tape; and there is no way you can get an accurate measurement of the inside of a round object with a tape. He said he would turn it, but by now he had me pretty worried, so I went on to Store 2.

Another 10 minutes waiting in line ... ask for the brake drum they have in stock ... get quoted $48 ... argue ... call Store 1 ... guy says " Heh heh, I quoted you the wrong price." ... get back in line, wait another 10 minutes ... they do NOT have the drum in stock. But the store just a few miles down the road does have it. They even call to verify it. It gets put on hold under my name in the computer. I get detailed directions to Store 3.

At store 3, I go directly to the payment line. The part is on hold for me, I know the part number, no lookup required, right? Oh, so very wrong. 10 minutes waiting in that line, only to be told I had to get in the line where they look up the parts. I believe these people are only working in auto parts stores as training to be government employees! I dutifully stand in the parts-lookup line, the guy finally comes over to look it up, and professes not to know anything about a part on hold. In fact, he says they do not have the part in stock at all! But don't worry, they have two in stock at the store right down the street. As he gives me directions, I realize it is the store I just left. At that point, I believe I may have used a bit of profanity, and said something about never again setting foot in one of their stores.

I stopped by the competitor's store again, but of course the guy who turns the drums had already gone home. So after a couple of hours and an incredible amount of frustration, I gave Guppy back exactly what I left with, unchanged except for the fact that it got to ride around in my car for a couple of hours ( and perhaps learned a few new words.)

And what the heck was Guppy doing, anyway? Obviously, he had the Little Angel doing all the work!

Catching Up on the News
It's that time of year when there are too many things going on. Oh wait, that seems like like every day. But here is the current crop:

Three weeks ago I was in Colorado skiing. Two weeks ago I was in Reno on business. Last week I was in Oklahoma -- you probably figured out I wouldn't be going there if it wasn't business. This week is another of those 18-hours-a-day-for-3-days trade shows.

We met with the builder and the architect. The builder gave us a much higher number than we expected, so we got to wondering just what kind of house we could buy for that much money. I checked out some new houses, and quickly realized I do not like the treeless new neighborhoods. So I started driving around some nearby neighborhoods with lots of trees, and found some houses I liked the looks of. We can't see them until Thursday night, due to this week's trade show. If one of the houses happens to suit us to a tee, then we will have to decide if it's worth giving up our view of the bay. In all honesty, I think the thing that is really driving me right now is the thought of moving TWICE: moving out while they remodel, and back in when they're done.

The Professor made it back from the Maldives, finally. The American ambassador to Sri Lanka gave him a one-year passport so he could change airports in London and get home. On Saturday night we were having dinner before the ballet, when he commented that he felt light-headed, and he thought if he stood up he might faint. Then he proceeded to close his eyes and drop his head on his chest. I thought he was joking at first, but became really worried when he didn't respond. When I couldn't rouse him, I just stood up and hollered "HELP!!!" Now this is a pretty formal, fancy place, but they took it in stride, and within seconds a doctor came over. He performed the Heimlich manuever, thinking Prof had choked. Then he and the head waiter were trying to lift Prof out of his chair so they could lay him on the floor, when Prof opened his eyes. He wasn't the least bit confused or disoriented, but he had no memory at all of the minute or two he was out. Small stroke? Mild heart attack? Arrythmia? I will probably never know, because do you think he would go to a doctor?! We do have a doctor neighbor -- he specializes in burns, but, hey, he went to medical school, he knows more than we do. I'm hoping the Professor will discuss the incident with him. I have fainted more than once, myself, but always because I got extremely overheated, and always while standing. Going out when you're sitting at the dinner table strikes me as a lot more serious.

My grandson D-Man asked last week just how many lives the Professor has, since he was literally DOA after a car wreck when he was a teenager; walked away from a plane crash; and got off the burning boat in the Maldives. That was going through my mind when I was trying to rouse him, how ironic it would be if he escaped all those dramatic possible deaths and then died sitting in a chair.

Hate to end on such a cheerful note, but I have to get down to the trade show. Have a wonderful day, everyone.

Amanda Bynes’ Mom Speaks Out: She ‘Has No Mental Illness Whatsoever’

Pacific Coast News

On the heels of Amanda Bynes‘ lawyer’s statement clearing up rumors about the starlet’s mental health, Bynes’ mother Lynne is now speaking out about her daughter’s condition, saying she has “no mental illness whatsoever” and that marijuana was the cause of her erratic behavior.

Bynes’ mother, who was granted legal control over the troubled actress in August 2013, adds to the attorney’s remarks that Bynes had not been diagnosed with schizophrenia — in fact, she has never been diagnosed with any kind of mental illness at all.

“Amanda has no mental illness whatsoever. She has never been diagnosed as schizophrenic or bipolar,” Lynne Bynes tells Us Weekly, via Amanda’s lawyer Tamar Arminak. “She is very sorry for all the hurtful tweets, statements and actions that occurred while she was under the influence of marijuana.”

Based on that statement, Bynes’ mom seems to think that all of her daughter’s behavior — which included bizarre facial piercings, multiple DUIs and almost incoherent Twitter rants calling everyone from Barack Obama to Rihanna “ugly” — stems from smoking weed. Is that possible?

Marijuana-induced psychosis is, in fact, a “thing,” and based on one psychological study conducted in 2012, scientists have discovered that some may carry a gene that makes it more likely for them to develop psychosis.

“We found that cannabis users who carry a particular variant in the AKT1 gene had a twofold increased probability of a psychotic disorder and this increased up to sevenfold if they used cannabis daily,” Dr. Marta Di Forti explains (via PsychCentral). “Our findings help to explain why one cannabis user develops psychosis while his friends continue smoking without problems.”

The site also reports that during psychosis, “a person may experience personality changes and disordered thinking. Depending on its severity, this may include unusual or bizarre behavior, as well as having trouble with social interaction and problems with carrying out daily life activities.”

Whether or not Amanda Bynes suffered from a mental illness or marijuana-induced psychosis, she seems to be doing well since being released from rehab in early December 2013. She has deleted all of her past offensive tweets and is currently studying fashion at FIDM in Orange County, California.

The Storytellers’ Secret Weapon

Being able to understand the archetype of your brand, and that of your competitors, is a powerful tool in a marketers shed! It can be used to produce content, review branding, or understand competitor dynamics.

You may have heard a reference to archetypes being thrown around in different presentations, discussions or from Contemporary Consumer Behaviour back in semester 1. What a Hero. Typical Jester! That’s out of character! But what is it all about? What are archetypes, and how can marketers use them to better position the brand and communicate to their audience with a consistent approach?

What is an Archetype?

To the story teller or writer, consider Robin Hood as the outlaw, or Bart Simpson as the rebel. An archetype is basically a personality or type of character for the brand.

Archetypes stem from the work of psychologists Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. They were applied to marketing in The Hero and the Outlaw, a book by Margaret Mark and Carol S. Pearson. In this book, they translate Jung’s work into 12 archetypes that are at work in branding.

Officially, an Archetype is outlined in the image below…

The 12 Archetypes

There are 12 Brand Archetypes mapped in the matrix below, which were identified by Mark and Pearson, operate in one of four quadrants.
  • Discovery/Knowledge: The Innocent, The Explorer, The Sage
  • Vision/Structure: The Creator, The Ruler, The Hero
  • Belonging/Care: The Lover, The Regular Guy, The Nurturer
  • Change/Risk: The Outlaw, The Magician, The Jester.

Let’s take a look at them in detail.

The Innocent
Goal: To be happy
Traits: Strives to be good, is pure, young, optimistic, simple, moral, romantic, loyal

Drawback: Might not fit into the mainstream
Marketing niche: Exciting, risk-taking, authentic
Example: Indiana Jones, Jeep, Red Bull

Example: Lego, Crayola

Marketing niche: Help people care for themselves, serve the public through health care, education or aid programs
Example: Mother Theresa, Campbell’s Soup, Johnson & Johnson, Heinz

The Outlaw
Goal: Break the rules and fight authority
Traits: Rebellious, iconoclastic, wild, paving the way for change
Drawback: Could take it too far and be seen in a negative way
Marketing niche: Agent of change, advocate for the disenfranchised, allow people to vent or break with conventions
Example: Harley-Davidson, Virgin (Richard Branson)

The Magician
Goal: Make dreams come true, create something special
Traits: Visionary, charismatic, imaginative, idealistic, spiritual
Drawback: Could take risks that lead to bad outcomes
Marketing niche: Help people transform their world, inspire change, expand consciousness

How can Archetypes be used?

A brand archetype should be integrated into all aspects of marketing, and communicated consistently to customers.

Content creation
The way your brand speaks, writes and communicates should align with your archetype. If you are a
If Darth Vader were to make a joke about light-sabres, it would be out of character. This inconsistent approach would undermine his position. The same is true for brands.

Your logo, colours, font and imagery should also consistently communicate your archetype. Darth Vader wearing pink shoes? Yeah…you get the point! How your image comes across can re-affirm your position, or initiate a PR nightmare!

Competitor analysis
What does your category look like? The not-for-profit sector could be seen as an innocent category, but brands operating within that can align differently. Understanding the dynamic within your competitor set can uncover an opportunity, or allow you to exploit a weakness in their archetype.

So as you can see, brand archetypes can be a powerful marketing tool. Brands with a strong, clearly communicated personality are more likely to resonate longer with consumers. Understanding the position of your brand and competitors can produce more effective content and inform branding.

Further reading

To learn more about building brands, take a look at The Hero and the Outlaw: Building Extraordinary Brands Through the Power of Archetypes, by Mark & Pearson (2001). Slideshare looks at archetype groups more in detail in an Archetype Overview From The Hero And The Outlaw.

The research of Faber and Mayer (2009) is the basis for an analysis measuring participant attitudes toward popular brands by matching them with archetypal descriptions and explores possible correlation between product category and archetype. And for a cross-cultural analysis about Points of View & Brand Personality, go no further than Millward Brown.

from Japanese TV, really

Be darned if I know what's going on. It's from a Japanese variety show called "Silent Library" and Ernesto Hoost, a Belgian kick boxer, is the special guest.

Sick. Sick. Sick. Hilarious.

Reminds me of the comedians who went through a whole day competing to see who would not laugh--b/c each time someone did he would get "arrested" by other comedians and get the baseball bat treatment Hoost got there. We're talking hundreds of hits for each over the course of the day. I'll see if I can find a clip.

Tyron Woodley Targeting Late July Return

UFC welterweight, Tyron Woodley revealed this week that he is hoping to return to the octagon in late July after being out of action for the past few months due to injury, but if he were to get a shot against Johny Hendricks he’s would be happy to speed up his recovery.

Woodley, speaking via sources said:

“Johny knows I respect him. He respects me. We talked about this at (UFC 167). He said, ‘You’re coming for me next.’ I’m not really coming for anybody. I’m coming for the world title. A lot of guys want a title shot. I don’t want a title shot – I want an opportunity to prove I’m the best fighter in the world, and I believe I am. I believe I’m the strongest, I believe I’m the fastest. I believe I’m well-rounded. I don’t know what he has in his future. It’s not that I’m calling him out or don’t like him – he might be the person who gets me to the title shot, that’s all.”

“I told the UFC late July, early August. But if you make me a fight that makes sense, I’ll get back by UFC 189. I haven’t heard yes, I haven’t heard no. So we’ll see what happens.”

    Think you miss read my posting of this at the other site

    you cannot play with your self err sparr against yourself

    you can activate your soldier in your homestead

    you can spar against another player in a homestead

    you and the other player can step back and then watch the two soldiers spar against each other like rock em sock em robots from the 60’s

    you cannot attack yourself which is what trying to spar against your own soldier would be

Product Description

This delicious shellfish has a delicate taste and is available in a range of size. Scallops have two fan-shaped shells which contain rounds of firm white flesh, sometimes with the edible cream and orange coral (or roe) attached.

Scallops have lent their name to the culinary term ‘scalloped’, which originally referred to seafood creamed and served hot in the shell.
Those shellfish have a soft fleshy texture and delicately mild sweet flavor.

Scallops are most commonly harvested using scallop dredges or bottom trawls between October and March.

Scallops can be steamed, fried or grilled but should be cooked gently and only for a very short time or their delicate flavour and texture will be spoiled. Steam them in wine with aromatics as you would mussels, or wrap them in prosciutto and grill or fry for a few minutes. Scallops go well with Asian ingredients: try pan-frying them in oil with ginger and fresh coriander. They’re also a good complement to hearty flavours such as bacon, chorizo, black pudding or watercress. Take care not to over-cook them: serve as soon as they are firm and opaque.

Product Features: Fresh Scallops Meatwithout Shell, suitable for freezing

Origin: Brittany or Normandy

Case Statement Tricks

Sunday Mar 18th 2001 by Neil Boyle

Sharpen your Case statement skills with this quick Case primer.

The CASE statement is a very flexible tool. Here are just a few of the tricks you can work with it.

Item translation

One of the simplest things you can do is to derive a columns contents based on it's contents, or the contents of another data item.

Click here for code example 1.

Titling subtotals

You can use CUBE and ROLLUP to produce totals and subtotals within a result set, but because SQL Server places NULLS for non-totaled columns in the total rows, they do not always look very pretty. In this example we use the CASE statement to place emphasis on the subtotal lines.

Click here for code example 2.

Simplifying Output

This batch lists of sales by store, and gives a general indication of the stores performance against the average quantity of sales per store.

Click here for code example 3.

This query batch starts by calculating the average of total sales per store, which is stored in the variable @storeAvg, then that average is used to rate the stores sales performance.

Grouping data into ranges

This example calculates the number of orders in certain size ranges. It also shows off the power of SQL as a set-based language: to code this as in a procedural language like VB would not be able to do this in a single statement.

Click here for code example 4.

Complex Sequencing

CASE statements can be used in an 'ORDER BY clause to order non-sequential data. This example sorts stores by name, but puts all the stores in California at the top of the list.

SELECT stor_name, state
FROM   stores
          WHEN 'CA' then 1
          ELSE 2

Further reading

This article discusses how to increase performance of complex UPDATE statements by using CASE.

This SQL 2000 article contains a section that shows how to use the CASE statement in a User Defined Function to enforce complex declarative constraints

We are Studying your Book in our Abnormal Psych class

Dear A. B. Curtiss

We are studying your book, DEPRESSION IS A CHOICE, in my abnormal psych class. The professor told us that we could email you questions. I have two questions

You say all depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain. What is the chemical imbalance you refer to?

If you are depressed, ipso facto, you have a chemical imbalance in your brain. Depression is the by-product of our human psychological defense system. Our defense system is activated by fearful or anxious thoughts, of which you may or may not be aware, that trigger the fight-or-flight response.

The chemical imbalance of depression is caused by the inadvertent triggering of the fight-or-flight response which dumps stress chemicals into our brain; chemicals like adrenaline, epinephrine, norepinephrine, etc. to biochemically prepare us for immediate action. If we take immediate physical
action, the stress chemical imbalance is righted and we return from the stress mode (sympathic mode) to the at rest mode (para-sympathetic mode).

But if physical action is not taken, these chemicals are extremely hard on the metabolic processes of the body. They cause the feelings of weakness and powerless that we know as depression. Of course once these neural patterns of weakness and powerless are part of our memory system, they can take on a life of their own and be triggered by a color, a sound, or some thought fragment through the natural process of learned association. If we entertain and focus on these neural patterns (in effect memories which we incorrectly believe to be present reality), we trigger the fight-or-flight response once more and the stress chemical factory is back in business again. Instant re-run.

QUESTION 2: What is the correct amount of chemicals you are striving for?

I am striving for the correct balance of chemicals which return us from the stress mode (the sympathetic mode) to the para-sympathetic mode, our natural mode of okayness. The way to effect this return as an act of will is to brainswitch--to cease focusing on the agitated feelings of the subcortex , and instead think neutral or nonsense thoughts that stimulate neural activity in the neocortex. Thus powering up neuronal activity in the neocortex and powering down neuronal activity in the subcortex. If a person concentrates on thinking neutral or nonsense thoughts for five or ten minutes, they cannot at the same time continue to think those stressful thoughts that have been causing the fight-or-flight response to trigger which produce the stress chemicals that have pitched them into the sympathetic mode. As they continue with cognitive, objective, and neutral thoughts, they cease to produce stress chemicals, and the body will naturally return to the para-sympathetic mode.

It is a matter of constantly taking the correct fork in the thinking road instant by instant as soon as depression hits. Avoid the subjective, choose the objective. (Not: Oh I'm feeling bad, but isn't that an interesting pattern of light on the wall. Avoid the emotional, choose the neutral or nonsense (Not: Oh I'm feeling bad but “Row, row, row your boat” or some othedumb nursery rhyme or song.) Avoid the downer thought and choose the upper. (Not: Oh what a dreary morning, but hey, at least the house isn't on fire, how great is that!) Avoid self-focus, choose outer-focus (Not: I'm feeling bad but send some healing prayer to another person.) Avoid disengagement, choose re-engagement (don't crawl under the covers, get out and take a walk, talk to the paperboy.)

The yacht club, a short distance from the Casino, is not legible in the same erotic way as these other spaces – it is a relatively formal building with a reverse-pitch roof that recalls Le Corbusier’s Errazuriz House in Chile. The extraordinary church of Sao Francisco de Assis, however, with its bulging, asymmetrical vaults, and sudden vertical accents, is perhaps the most bodily space of all, a physical building that is much more easily legible as about the exultation of the body rather than the spirit. Niemeyer, an atheist, refused to build a confessional box, feeling that to do so would be to taint the activities his buildings framed around the rest of the lake with guilt. This, combined (perhaps) with the unconventional forms of the church, led to a drawn-out controversy involving the established Church, which refused to consecrate it until 1959, sixteen years after its completion.

The unfortunate story of the church was replicated in almost every other aspect of the development. The Casino was rendered useless almost immediately it was finished after the Federal government in Rio passed a law forbidding gambling. It lay empty until late in the 1950s, when it became a gallery of modern art, a role that it performs – badly – to the present day. Its construction too lacked the sophistication of the design, a problem common to many of Niemeyer’s buildings. Evenson reported a contemporary American architect’s shock at the kitchen on the ground floor, an afterthought budged by incompetent builders. The Casa do Baile never became commercially viable. Designed for a mostly working-class clientele, it was simply in the wrong location, a low-density suburb for the wealthy, with only poor access by public transport. The yacht club was closed for years by an infestation of a water-borne parasite, only becoming safe for leisure use in the 1960s.

These and other negative factors, including cracks in the lake dam and ongoing problems with the water supply, meant that the development entirely failed to become the commercial success that its backers envisaged.  For years, its main buildings lay empty and abandoned melancholy harbingers of an age of erotic liberation that never really came. The development looks marvelous now, although built at a low density and, like every other wealthy suburb in Brazil, patrolled by private security guards and almost entirely devoid of human life, so that it carries few, if any, of the erotic connotations it originally did. The original sketches and photographs nevertheless do still represent the original vision, and continue to represent a riposte to the puritanical and rationalist concept of modern architecture represented by the Europeans.

Koncert Macieja Grzybowskiego
Maciej Grzybowski in concert

11 maja 2012
May 11, 2012

Kolejnym ważnym wydarzeniem roku był koncert Macieja Grzybowskiego, przygotowany we współpracy z Instytutem Adama Mickiewicza oraz Konsulatem Generalnym Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej. Program muzyki polskich kompozytorów (Paweł Mykietyn, Witold Lutosławski, Paweł Szymański, oraz Fryderyk Chopin), i klasyków (Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, i Maurycy Ravel) był wspaniałym przeżyciem artystycznym. Zachwyciły słuchaczy zwłaszcza Dwie Etiudy Pawła Szymańskiego (ur. 1954).
The Board of Directors of the Modjeska Club, in association with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute of Poland, and the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Los Angeles had the pleasure to invite you to a piano recital by one of most eminent Polish pianists, Maciej Grzybowski. The program included music by Polish composers (Paweł Mykietyn, Witold Lutosławski, Paweł Szymański, Fryderyk Chopin), and Western classics – Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5iBYL0RkWCQ/T5iKAl87SjI/AAAAAAAAJSM/ydXK7glMUhg/s1600/grzybowski.jpgBorn and educated in Warsaw, Maciej Grzybowski is the winner of the First Prize and the Special Prize at the 20th Century Music Competition for Young Performers in Warsaw (1992). He made numerous phonographic, radio and television recordings as a soloist and chamber musician and collaborated with Sinfonia Varsovia conducted by such maestros as Jan Krenz, Witold Lutosławski and Krzysztof Penderecki. From 1996 to 2000 Grzybowski was a co-director of the "NONSTROM presents" concert cycle in Warsaw. He took part in numerous music festivals in Poland, e.g., the Warsaw Autumn, Musica Polonica Nova, Witold Lutoslawski Forum, Warsaw Musical Encounters, and Polish Radio Music Festival. He also performed at the Biennial of Contemporary Music in Zagreb, Hofkonzerte im Podewil, Berlin and festivals in Lvov, Kiev, and Odessa (Ukraine).

In March 2005 Grzybowski’s recital at the Mozart Hall in Bologna was recognized as the greatest event of the decade. After Grzybowski’s U.S. debut in New York, in August 2006 EMI Classics released his second solo CD with works by Paweł Szymański. He also appeared in three concerts at the critically acclaimed Festival of Paweł Szymański's Music in Warsaw. In February 2008, he premiered a Piano Concerto by an unjustly forgotten composer, Andrzej Czajkowski. Bohdan Pociej, one of the most famous Polish music critics said: “How refreshing and exciting it is to be in the presence of such great art of interpretation akin to a genius!”

A Valuable Tool for Missourians

It’s been rough this winter. Snow and ice pummeled the state without mercy. Blizzard conditions smothered our roadways. Interstates closed.
But Missourians handled it. They were armed with the power of information, and the numbers prove it.
 During each snow event, hundreds of thousands of travelers turned to MoDOT’s website and social media outlets to see road conditions before they even left their homes.
MoDOT’s online Traveler Information Map, located at, logged a record-breaking half-million visits over a three-day period from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2. Statewide, MoDOT added more than 3,500 new Facebook fans and 500 new Twitter followers.
            These numbers are testimony to the common sense found in Missouri’s citizens. Over the years, they’ve learned to turn to MoDOT for travel information that could potentially save time, money and lives.
            Local weather reports and law enforcement still play a vital role in getting the message out.  Weather conditions can change in an instant and folks need to get all the info they can before making the decision to travel.  MoDOT partners with these traditional means to give Missouri the most complete picture technology will allow.
            It’s hard to believe that just a few short years ago these electronic information avenues didn’t even exist. Now, they are a valuable tool for Missourians.

Confessions of a Young Prophet

Parshat Sh'mot
18 Tevet 5771 / Dec. 24-25, 2010
Shmot 1:1 – 6:1

Confessions of a Young Prophet
by Zvi Bellin, MHHQ

I am so furious at G-d! I am talking fed up, volcanic, hella A-N-G-R-Y with the Lord of Hosts! Oh, You have a new name now, “I will be what I will be.” Well, I will tell You what I won’t be – the Savior of Israel. That is what I won’t be. I am a man of action. When I saw that Egyptian pig whipping my own flesh and blood, I did not hesitate to turn the suffering around. I am not proud that I killed him, but I couldn’t just stand by. Not anymore. And when those beastly shepherds were giving my lovely Tzipporah and her sisters trouble in Midian, I took action. I shut them up good and drew water for the ladies’ plump sheep. (Don’t think I don’t know about my family’s history when it comes to women, wells, and love.) But G-d, you are asking too much now.

I am good with my fists, but not with my words. And now I’ve pulled my brother Aaron into this mess. I just don’t know how to stand up to Pharoah. How can I gain the nation’s trust? Thank you G-d for the signs and all. The staff to snake trick, and the hand of leprosy healing act. And of course, turning Nile river water to blood. That helped get some of Israel to believe that You sent me to save them. But, look what happened. I talked to Pharoah and he increased their labor beyond any person’s physical capabilities. It is just not fair. Why did you send me to fail?

I get that I have no choice in the matter. You’ve already told me to suck up my complaints and accept my responsibility. I am not sure if I can trust You, not sure how to trust you. But I want to. I know that my people can live freely. We can go back to our homeland and live as our own masters again. I have nothing to offer except for passion, a faulty tongue, and shaky faith. If that works with You, then I guess it will have to work for me. Alright, it’s time to go see Pharoah again. Please G-d, don’t desert me.

Tag 6-6 "Thanks for being there" #onelittletag

Hello my friends!
The challenge for the next few tags was to "step out of your comfort zone".  Some of you may already know this, but for those who don't, I am legally blind.  I obviously do have some vision, but my impairment makes some things difficult.  I love art and do lots of art, but I have adapted my art to limitations, and avoid the things that are a little more ...difficult.  So these tags may not be a stretch for many people, but they are for me.  But that's a good thing!  I just ended up more out of my comfort zone than I expected.
I got a new MFT stamp set called "Recipe for Happiness". I actually got the dies first and had to wait quite a while for the stamps. I thought the set was really cute and was anxious to finally use it.

 I stamped and die-cut a bunch of the little guys out and had some fun colouring them in.

 The colouring is what's out of my comfort zone. I have to hold a magnifier and get really close to colour, I'm sure I look pretty comical! After I coloured about 10 (okay, 11) of them I realized that I wanted much bigger Chefs to make my tags. So now I am out of my comfort zone again, for the same reason, and free-hand drew these Chefs based on my new stamp images. To finish the little guys I had to step out of my comfort zone AGAIN and cut them out with scissors, which is really hard for me because I cant cut and hold my magnifier at the same time!

I used Spectrum Noir markers to do my colouring and I used distress ink for the background with a Tim Holtz stencil and some distress paint splatters.

 All things considered, I am really happy with how they turned out!
Thanks for stopping by!

Time to send out the invites

So, how are you going to do it?  Are you going to use evite (one of our personal favorites for informal parties)?  Check out just one of the super cute evites they have there:

OR do you want to do something creative and hand out the invitations, personally?  Here are some ideas from us to you:
  • FLAG INVITATION:  Use a picture of the Mexican flag and on the back, provide all the party information (don't forget to use Jo's ideas from yesterday, see below).:
  • BOTTLE INVITATION:  Do you have a beer drinker (or 2) in your family?  Next time you (or he) goes to the store to pick up some brewskies...pick up some Corona or Dos XX.  (Maybe you can have a pre-help-us-drink-beer-so-you-can-get-invited-to-our-cinco-de-mayo-party).  Once the beer is consumed, rinse out the bottles, dry, and place the invitation rolled up inside.
  • MARACA INVITATION:  One year, for Jo's daughter's birthday/slumber party, she passed out the girls' invitations in ONE slipper.  Then, each girl got the second slipper when the came to the spa themed party.  So, using that idea, how about rolling up an invitation on the handle of one maraca.  When your guests arrive, they must find their matching maraca (somewhere amongst the party decorations)!

Looking for some cute invitation ideas for the above ideas? How about...

You can ALWAYS use something traditional and find some pre-printed invites like:

This blog was written in defence of male superiority and patriarchal dominance; it was written with the idea in mind that all women are breeders and homemakers who belong in the kitchen. The blog itself was initially conceived of as being a great counter-offensive against the twin evils of both feminism and liberal socialism.

The Myth of Female Oppression

Only people who are full of shit believe that women have suffered the historical indignities of oppression. Women are one of the most privileged groups of human beings to have ever lived; only lower status men have ever suffered from discrimination.

The premise that men oppress women for the benefit of other men is fundamentally flawed. It seems to be the by-product of philosophical speculation within the domain of the social sciences, rather than based on any rigorously oriented scientific methodology. Although I doubt the veracity of the foregoing premise, I do believe there is considerable empirical and statistical evidence pointing to a tremendous amount of oppression being exerted by women over other women. As a matter of fact, it is quite possible to assert that women have been oppressed; except that women have historically oppressed other women, as well as many men, through the use of both her sexuality and reproductive biology.

To begin with, sexual relations between both genders functions as a means of socio-economic exchange by which the woman offers both her womb and vagina as a means of receiving such benefits as money, status, power and commitment. Sex would be used as a means of economic exchange at a going marketable rate that most women would accept as adequate compensation for the giving of sexual favours. Due to the fact that men compete for women as a scarce commodity within the marketplace of heterosexual transactions, women are inevitably driven to possess little desire for any particular sexual relationship itself given the superabundance of men she is able to choose from; this enables her to exert a considerable amount of influence over the relationship by coercing the man to provide her with resources that will persuade her to have sex with him.

Women who would offer sex readily, without participating within the process of sexual negotiation based on socio-economic exchange would readily invoke the hostility of most women by making the service of copulation readily accessible to men; by lowering the costs of sex, the ‘loose’ woman is a threat to most women because she undercuts the economic bargaining power of women within heterosexual transactions and reduces her ability to maneuvre her way into positions of power in a world characterized by male patriarchal dominance.

As many evolutionary psychologists have noted repeatedly, it should come as no surprise that women have a considerably greater hostility towards pornography and prostitution than men do. In a survey conducted by Klassen et al. (1989), 69% of women, as opposed to 45% of men were likely to disapprove of prostitution. In fact, female opposition to both prostitution and pornography is of long-standing duration. According to Walkowitz (1980), the anti-prostitution and smut campaigns of the nineteenth century were largely participated in by women.The laws which have formed the basis of every society that has ever existed has been aimed primarily at controlling men and not women. Men are arrested for all manner of crimes at a much greater magnitude than women are. Baumeister (2002) says that in 1998, 92% of all arrests for sex crimes involved men and the other 8% of arrests would involve women. The only exception to the rule would be prostitution and as we see from Walkowitz, much anti-prostitution legislation was put in place by means of direct female agitation.

In addition, it is women and only women who have sanctioned the horrific practice of mutilating the bodies of pre-pubescent females; a notable example of such would be the practice of genital subincision and infibulation or female genital circumcision. According to researcher H. Lightfoot-Klein (1989), the decision as to which daughter was to be circumcised was determined exclusively by the maternal figures of the household and that the operation is performed solely by women. Lightfoot-Klein also notes that girls who refuse to allow themselves to be genitally circumcised are routinely harassed and socially ostracized by other girls. Another researcher, A.A. Shandall (1967, 1979), found, after a statistical analysis of hundreds of surveys submitted in the region of northeastern Africa, that most men actually prefer wives who have not undergone the surgery and that female circumcision is not conducive to male sexual pleasure.

The notion of culture and socialization functioning as the primary agents behind sexual differentiation in anatomical sex and gender roles really invokes the argument of infinite third man regression; if we are socialized by society than what socializes the basic infrastructure around which the dominant social institutions gravitate? Who or what socializes society? The division of labour between men and women is largely a product of neuro-endocrinological and physiological differentiation between both genders, resulting in sexual dimorphism in such traits as physical strength and intelligence. Every society that has ever existed has been a patriarchy dominated by men; there has never been a society ruled by women. In spite of enormous cross-cultural variation between many societies, the sexual physiological differentiation between men and women is the same in all societies. The universality of patriarchy on an anthropological level, as well as the androgenic hormonalization of the male central nervous system during embryological development producing significantly higher levels of male aggression and motivation, would make the existence of male patriarchal dominance physiologically inevitable.

Thus, subjecting male-female relations to a Marxist-Leninist sociological analysis along class lines is clearly illogical. The members of both groups possess the same hormones, albeit in vastly different quantities, and none can truly be in any dialectical antagonism to the other because a certain symbiosis between both sexes is necessary for the perpetuation of the human species. In the final analysis, the concept of sex is really a synthesis of both biological and socio-cultural factors; the social organization of human interactions is really an instance of behavioural conformation to a limited set of biological parameters that determine our existence as living organisms.

Wow, you are insane!

Educate yourself said...

Myth?? Why don't you go read a history book! Women werent allowed to speak in the church, or get jobs, or basically live without a man. In almost all religions and societies in the last 2000 years, high status in religions and political positions were only reserved for men. You are selective and small minded in your research. Another thing, I am a woman and I am fully capable of orgasms. I love them! I don't need to use a man for his money or status because I would rather have my own career!!

Yes our accomplishments are behind that of men in the past because socially we werent allowed to work or be independent of men until the last 100 years! Now that we have more freedoms and people in the modern day realize that women are intellectually competent, we are accomplishing a lot in many professions.

Please go get some counseling because you have obviously had some serious trauma in your life around women.

Your opinions are so far out of line that i am not even offended anymore, because you make no sense!!

Why don't you go watch the news or pick up the paper, men are committing most of the crimes, raping, murdering, cheating, and stealing. Men are fucked up! Look at the statistics and know your facts bud

Are all women whores?

Are all women evil incarnate?

Finally, something that ALL women are good at... BEING WHORES!

Finally, something that ALL women are good at... BEING WHORES!

The burkha is the only antidote to liberal socialism and feminism!

This time, it's not about monsters but about gathering in the areas. I thought, gathering could give more than that what it has now, so here are my ideas for special gathering spots.

My Creations:

Fragile and Breakable Spots

Fragile Spots

Fragile Spots are gathering spots that are easy to break by weapons, walking over them or simply moving them too hasty. These objects often are delicacies and are target of early quests of hunters. There are some categories of fragile objects:

Ice Covered Objects

These objects are mostly plants, whose leaves freeze on purpose to use the ice as a lens to amplify the sunlight. In the cold environments they grow the ice also protects them of the wind. Examples for these objects are the Tundra Salad, the Ice Carrot and the Glistenrock.

Breakable Spots

Breakable Spots are gathering spots that need to be broken by weapon use or monster attacks to get the insides. The categories:

Lava(stone) Covered Objects

These objects are mostly plants, whose fruits are on the ground. Those fruits emit a fluid that is used as protection of lava but at the same time glueing lava to it. Through this process the plants living in volcanoes can form a hard crust, that only strong hits can break, best with impact damage. Those plants are used for fireproof armor. Examples for these objects are the Lava Pumpkin and the Stone Cucumber.

Hollow Spots and Objects

Hollow Spots are spots that can be broken by weapon use or monster attacks to get what's inside or to break through to another way. This can be a thin wall, an ice wall, big nuts, big roots of trees or rocks. Again impact damage is the best choice to break them. Behind or inside them can be rare ores, crystals or other valuable objects.

Gathering Spots and Monsters on Trees or similar

Objects on Trees

Climbing trees allows to find fruits and small monsters, sometimes even monster nests. The categories:

Gathering Spots on Trees

Many Neopterons are found on trees as well as fruits that can be used for luring herbivorous monsters or for throwing them at those. Examples for Neopterons is the Stab Biter and examples for fruits are the Aromango that smells irresistable for some monsters.

Small Monsters on Trees

Some small monsters inhabit the tree tops. Some are a chasing spot (see beneath) others are small monsters that have to be killed to carve them. Examples for first are the Stink Squirrel, which secretes are used for stronger Dung Bombs, or the Great Stag Lizard, that has scales on the head that are growing like an antler and are used for armors and weapons. Examples for second are Bnahabras and Hornetaurs.

Monster Nests in the Tree tops

(idea by WolfQueen)

Sometimes even nests of bigger monsters are in the tree tops on relatively big trees. Examples of that are Bnahabra, Kechawacha and Suitonga nests.

Chasing Spots

Chasing small Monsters

Small monsters that run away from humans are another spot to get. They need to be surprised from the back side to catch them. The categories:

Chasing on the Ground

On the ground live many small Neopterons, Pelagi and other small monsters. As the easiest category they can be caught pretty well but they have some defense mechanisms to fend off attackers. They are normally caught for certain materials or substances which get used for potions, items, weapons and armors. Examples are the Dragonhopper, the Electric Mole and the Scythe Hermit.

Chasing while climbing

The second easiest category that has different small monsters of different Wyvern classes and other classes. They have clever ways of escaping the attacker. Examples are the Flying Gecko, the Burning Maki and the Frozen Arachna.

Chasing underwater

Two subcategories are determined. First the free water chasing spots and second the Kelpwald and Coral chasing spots. Many Leviathans, Carapaceons, Fishes and Piscene Wyverns have made these underwater worlds their own. As second hardest category, it's difficult to get behind the monsters without getting seen. Examples for free water chasing spots are the Devil Squid, the Mahranha, who appears in swarms and attacks back in swarm, and the Coacuda, a Piscene Wyvern, examples for the Kelpwald and Coral spots are the Coralbomb Crab, and the Anephadon, a coral eating Leviathan.

Chasing in air

The hardest category as those monsters can fly too high for a hunter to catch. Many flying Neopterons, Bird and Flying Wyverns are found in this section. Often are those only catchable by using a wall or tree to advantage. Examples for this category are the Dragonbee, the Faralok, a Bird Wyvern that likes to eat fruits from trees and the Katrycho, a Flying Wyvern attacking Altaroth and Bnahabra nests.

Underground Spot

Objects Underground

Many objects lie underneath the earth, stone, ice or sand. This makes it hard to find them. But for this there are skills which make them visible. Also tiny signs are visible on the ground that guide the way to the spots. The categories are:

Digging Spots in Sand and Mud

(idea by Kogath)

In sand and mud there are no tools needed, the hands are enough to get the objects out there. Many vegetables grow in the mud, in the sand there are some animals like Sand Urchins that can't move. Examples are the Stink Carot, the Barbed Potato in mud and the Desert Rhubarb.

Digging Spots in Stone and Ice

(idea by Kogath)

Unlike in sand and mud a shovel is needed to dig up the materials trapped in stone or ice. This reveals many weird creatures and plants. Examples are the Rock Mole, the Sorrow Onion in stone and the Glacier Bug in ice.

Pulling out of the Earth

Some vegetables and monsters need to be pulled out of the earth to get them. Depending on the size of the object and/or the strength of the monsters it takes different amounts of time. Examples of this are the Giant Radish, the Great Groundshroom which grows into the ground the Hole Mantis Shrimp and the Great Sandworm.

Spots at a certain Time of Day

Nocturnal, Diurnal and Crepuscular Objects

Sometimes having traits of the other points above too there are objects that only appear at a certain time of a day. That makes knowledge of those unevitable. The categories are:

Nocturnal Objects, Plants and Monsters

Some plants, monsters and objects in relation only appear or bloom at night. Because of bad view they are harder to find. The plants use nocturnal monsters for pollination and some plants let go of their seed only at night, why they are found at night and gone by the wind at day. Examples for noctunality are the Night Flower, the Ayemaru, a small Pelagus, the Bright Seed and the Aombara, a small Snake Wyvern.

Diurnal Objects, Plants and Monsters

Same as nocturnal diurnal plants, monsters and objects in relation only appear or bloom at a certain daytime, in this case at day. This makes it easier to find them than at night or dawn/dusk. Examples for diurnality are the Flame Flower, the Sun Seed and the Arugeuze, a Bird Wyvern often found on trees.

Crepuscular Objects, Plants and Monsters

Same principle but these plants, monsters and objects in relation appear or bloom at twilight, meaning dawn and dusk. Examples are the Twilight Orchid, the Fog Skunk and the Jungle Paleom, a Flying Wyvern.

Book Review - The ART of the START

Recently, I have been assisting a start-up in preparation for raising Venture Capital.At the recommendation of a friend, I bought The ART of the START The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything by Guy Kawasaki.Mr. Kawasaki is a venture-capitalist.Prior to becoming a VC, Mr. Kawasaki worked at Apple.
Mr. Kawasaki set as his goal for the book to help entrepreneurs and others starting enterprises reduce the preparatory time and move straight into development.(Prep time including visiting with various experts to collect ideas, learn potential problems that can be avoided, etc.)
Mr. Kawasaki writes with style, verve and an appealing since of humor.
He starts with a summary of five things that each new effort should include.One of the intriguing concepts is to avoid developing a mission statement, but instead develop a very short mantra.Having been in some very unproductive, long, painful, meetings where mission statements were being hatched, I can appreciate the reco…

Book Review: Graceful by Seth Godin

Seth Godin is a publishing machine.He deserves credit for (to use Tom Peter’s term) re-imagining publishing.I’m not aware of anyone else close to his skills at channel- linking: Kindle books, hardcover books, free books, blogs, Twitter.And most recently with Kickstarter.Very inventive indeed.

Graceful follows the style of many of his books, that is, very short chapters, each making a single point to support and develop the theme of the book.

One of George Gilder’s recommendations in the early days of the Internet and the PC explosion was to determine which resources are scarce and which are abundant.Then design to exploit the abundant resource.Mr. Godin updates that concept with gracefulness being in short supply, along with leadership.In his view, in the new economy is based on abundance.I would label that a network effect.From his chapter on Abundance and scarcity: “If I benefit when everyone knows my idea, then the more people I give the idea to, the better off we all are”.

Mr. Godin’…

Partagas Coronas Senior

English: Box of Partagas Coronas Deutsch: Kiste Partagas Coronas (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Courtesy of friend Eduardo Fertman, I enjoyed a delecious cigar from famed cigar house Partagas.
It was a Coronas Senior.  First, I'll admit to being a fan of Partagas.  In the great cigar boom, it seemed to me that they maintained their quality standards, even as new entrants bid up tobacco prices, and in some cases purchased entire crops, limiting the availability of tobacco to older, longstanding firms.
The Coronas Senior makes my short list of cigars that I'll continue to purchase.  A new favorite!
Thanks Eduardo!

Dear Mr. Bernanke:

Dear Mr. Bernanke: I hate to be critical of Fed policy.Really.Because the fiscal policies of both the current and prior administrations, and eleven consecutive years of totally feckless behavior by Congress, has done more than tie one hand behind the Fed’s back; it’s tied both hands, shackled a leg and blindfolded it.

But the time has come for the Fed to face its egregiously destructive policies and change them. Deflation was a threat.In some ways it still is.Housing went from a bubble to decline to free fall.Millions of jobs have been lost, fueling deflation.Your response was to attempt to create inflation and thereby resurrect housing.Reasonable theory.The supply chain for housing is gigantic; if it were to be restored millions of jobs would return: not just sheetrock hangers, cabinet installers, plumbing contractors, roofers, electricians, tile layers, carpet layers, carpenters, HVAC installers, landscapers and window installers, but also factory workers in plants that make insulation…

Review: Take the Lead

Take the Lead by Betsy Myers with John David Mann, is her treatise on leadership.The byline is “Motivate, Inspire and Bring Out the Best in Yourself and Everyone Around You”.
Ms. Myers has an underlying concept: that there is a need for a new kind of leadership.Changing times, the Internet, the mobility of society has erased the prior, up the organization ladder method of leadership development.Her statement: “The emerging need is not simply for a better leadership but a new kind of leadership…” (Italics are hers).

The book takes the reader through the experiences that gave her a point of view on leadership.Those experiences, while varied, are heavily weighted to public service.That includes stints in the Clinton administration, working in the Obama campaign and at the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard.All of these led to contact with famous and successful people, whether cabinet level or contributors to Harvard or political campaigns.Not a bad group to use to develop leadership m…

The New Conservative Spokesman

Chuck Woolery is emerging as the new conservative spokesman. Humorists, edgy writers and comedians have long been influential in shaping the trend of thought.  Mark Twain, H.L. Menken from prior generations.  Carl Hiaasen and preservation in FL.  A Dennis Miller rant. The impact of Saturday Night Live skits.
But I didn't expect a former game show host.  However, I'll admit I support every single thing in this video.

Review: Escape Velocity by Geoffrey Moore

Geoffrey Moore is a very successful author and has also started multiple consulting and speaking businesses.He is also a partner in a venture capital firm.Mr. Moore writes extensively about strategy and marketing, particularly in technology markets.

In Escape Velocity Free Your Company’s Future from the Pull of the Past Mr. Moore sets up circumstances in which businesses struggle with a transition from existing products and services to the products and services that will replace them.

I have two quick observations: first, this book is clearly about business-to-business marketing.If you are in the B2B space, there are some lessons here, but this book clearly is not aimed at you.Second, since Mr. Moore is involved with tech companies, his examples are almost exclusively tech examples.Not so narrow as not to be interesting, but perhaps limited for readers who are in, say, insurance or construction.
Moore’s theme is that there is a hierarchy of strategy, which he labels powers.(It is my int…

Getting a Grip on Condoms

Gone are the days when the only birth control known to society is abstinence. With the advancement in science and technology, many studies and researches have been devoted for a more convenient way of preventing pregnancy and the possible spread of infections and diseases. One of the most popular one being condoms.

There are many types of condom brands available in the market. Each of them has their own promise of sensation and added pleasure. It is now even possible to buy condoms online to avoid the awkward feeling of seeing everyone look at you when you buy it in a store. One popular type of condom are latex condoms.

Latex condoms have many advantages as compared to various forms of birth control methods, aside from being cheaper. As a result of being a cheap birth control, it has become a key element of government programs to provide additional services when it comes to sexual health to poor and marginalized communities. There are condoms that can be used for both males and females.

For those who are wondering why they need to know how to use a condom properly, it is because the improper use could lead to the material tearing and possible spread of diseases. Using condoms properly is very crucial in order for it to become extremely effective. Although abstinence is the ultimate protection against STDs, condoms are still an efficient way of preventing its spread, especially for those who are sexually active.

Not all condoms have instruction manuals that come along with the package, so first-time users tend to have a hard time using it properly. It must be taken note of though that latex condoms, although effective, may possibly not work for everybody. There are some people who are allergic to latex and might experience discomfort when using it. If so, it is best to try and find the type that will work best with you. For people with allergies on latex, a polyurethane condom or a condom made of natural materials is highly recommended. It also has a low cost compared to other birth control products in the market with great durability and efficacy.

The only time that it is advised not to wear a condom is when one is in a completely committed and monogamous relationship. Also, the factor as to whether or not both you and your partner are ready for the possibility of bearing a child should also be considered. Females find men who take care of their health and have high regards for both of their futures sexier than those who do not.

How real is the threat of a new tax?

dentist-visitNew sales taxes on services have been proposed in the last seven sessions of the Missouri General Assembly. Just this year, Missouri’s neighboring states of Oklahoma and Illinois have discussed taxing services. Other states, such as North Carolina and Washington State, have started imposing new sales taxes on services this year. The threat is real because politicians often share bad ideas, and a sales tax on services is a bad idea for Missouri consumers.

TwoTwo Motorsports Set for Supercross Debut

Dual AMA/World Supercross Champion, Australia's Chad Reed will enter a new phase of his career this weekend, pulling up to the start gates at Anaheim's Angel Stadium as a team owner and lead racer.

Second on the all-time Supercross win list, the Kurri-Kurri born and raised star has enjoyed considerable success in the sport as a factory-supported rider, and in 2011, has opted to go it alone with his own outfit, TwoTwo Motorsports.

'My team, my choices' is the catch-cry of Reed, who has assembled a small yet committed staff to contest the championship which will be fought out over 17 rounds across North America.

The champion in 2004 and 2008 has relished the various off-season challenges and said he felt a sense of pride in fielding an entry under his own team's banner.

"We've faced a very busy few months but to the credit of all involved we're well and truly ready for A1 (Anaheim) this weekend and the season that lays ahead," said Reed.

"It will be a special moment to ride out on a bike that our team has engineered from the ground up, as a rider I've never had the ability to make the choices that I have with the TwoTwo Motorsports Honda.

"Our test sessions in the leadup have been productive and the team has worked tirelessly to factor in my feedback which have resulted in a bike that I feel very comfortable on."

After a tumultuous 2010 season interrupted by injury, Reed felt certain the positives of being away from the racetrack would far outweigh the negatives.

"In past years I'd been working so hard in the off-season that I was spent by the time the time came to race," he explained. "I've changed things up, and while still focusing on my fitness, I feel much better prepared and very much refreshed."

The traditional season-opener in California has yielded good results for Reed in the past.

In his most recent championship year, 2008, Reed won the opener, Anaheim 1, then proceeded to sweep the following events at the same stadium, Anaheim 2 and 3.

The venue also holds significance as the site of his first ever AMA Supercross win.

Eight seasons and 38 wins later, Reed enters a new and exciting chapter as a team owner and a legitimate title contender in what is considered to be the most talented AMA Supercross 450 field ever.

Cars Stolen Because of Keys Being Left in Ignition

 Cars stolen (Buckinghamshire Advertiser)

The above link is about cars being stolen because people are leaving their engines running or keys in the ignition when putting shopping away.

You have to be seriously stupid to walk away from your car with the engine running making it even easier for anyone to steal it.

If you have had your car stolen this way, you are an idiot and deserved to have your car stolen.

Quick Hit: Weight Training

I'll admit that I was a relatively late comer to the merits of weight training.
Growing up, the sports I played, like hockey and soccer, were more endurance and skill dependent, so coaches never really focused on weight training. On the field, or at the arena, practise time was devoted to either running drills, or sprinting/skating until you felt like puking. The mentality was that the more "fit" your cardiovascular system was, the better you would be able to play in the last minutes of a game. If you happened to get stronger doing it, so be it.

In University, I used to shake my head at the guys in the gym doing weights. I figured these were the fellows who didn't have enough skills to play a sport, and needed some other way to show their manhood. There were rarely any women there, and the weight machines (what ever happened to Nautilus?) were kept in horrible condition. I was focused more on long distance running, swimming, cycling at this point, and couldn't waste time adding weights.

Today, I have come full circle, and recommend weight training as part of any physical fitness regime.

The benefits are clear at this stage, and  I've listed only a few below

What Should I Do?

If you aren't already, adding weight training to your workout is worth doing. Consulting with a trainer is worthwhile, and they should clearly explain what technique to follow. They should also be able to explain the specific muscles that an exercise will target, and how the exercise achieves this. If they can't, find someone who can.

Muscles are, for the most part, fairly straight forward. When they contract, they move a joint, flexing or extending it. The more you use it, the stronger, and more toned it gets.

General Technique

  • Breathe! When lifting/pushing/pulling the weight, remind yourself to exhale. People often hold their breath when they strain, and this is not a good thing for your body for a number of reasons.
  • Aim to do 8-10 repetitions for a given exercise. Find a reasonable amount of weight that will allow you to get 8-10 reps before you are too fatigued to push more. Trying to impress people with a huge load will only get them laughing at you behind your back.
  • Good Form. Maybe the most important. Understand the purpose of the exercise you are attempting. Know how the muscle you are focusing on moves, and try to use only that muscle to achieve the movement. Keep your core (trunk) as still as possible, and go through as full a range of motion as you can comfortably do. NEVER cheat through the exercise, just to get it done. If you can't isolate the movement, lighten the weight and try again.
Hopefully, this is useful. We'll keep expanding training, and advancing if the interest is there.
Let me know if you have any specific training questions.
I love the feedback!
