Va. repeals one-handgun-a-month law

RICHMOND, Va. -- A Virginia law limiting handgun purchases to one per month was repealed Tuesday, over the opposition of gun control supporters and relatives of victims?who survived?the Virginia Tech massacre.

Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell signed the bill into law after it was passed two weeks ago by the GOP-controlled General Assembly. He did not comment on signing the bill, though he said earlier he supported repealing the law.


The governor met Saturday with families of people killed or injured in the April 2007 shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. The families had hoped to persuade him to veto the bill, although they knew it was a long shot.

Andrew Goddard, whose son Colin was wounded at Virginia Tech, was at the meeting. He said the governor had previously said he would sign the bill and "it would have been very difficult for him to go back on it."

McDonnell is seen as a contender for his party's vice presidential nomination in 2012. He signed the repeal a day after a high school student opened fire with a handgun at an Ohio school, killing three students and wounding two others.

Colin Goddard of the Brady Campaign, a survivor from the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, shares his thoughts regarding Monday morning's shooting at Chardon High School and the NOW panel weighs in on the need for stricter gun control laws.

Opponents worry that lifting the limit could spur an increase in gun violence.

'They have not learned'
Goddard, president of the Virginia Center for Public Safety, reserved his harshest criticism for legislators who passed the bill.

"They have not learned a damn thing," Goddard said. Alluding to Monday's school shooting that left three students dead in Ohio, Goddard said: "Here we are watching kids dying in other states, and we're going to be a purveyor of firearms for other states."

Lori Haas, whose daughter Emily was wounded in the shooting that left the gunman and 32 others dead at Virginia Tech, said she was disappointed by the governor's action.

"Getting rid of the one-handgun-a-month law will make it easier for gun traffickers to purchase handguns in bulk," she said in a written statement. "There have been too many tragedies in other states fueled by guns that come from Virginia, and this will only make the situation worse."

Del. Scott Lingamfelter, R-Prince William and sponsor of the repeal bill, said the one-handgun limit didn't accomplish much for law enforcement.

April 16: On the anniversary of a campus shooting, the Virginia Tech community gathered to commemorate the 32 people who lost their lives. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.

"I think Virginians deserve effective laws, and one handgun a month has been overtaken by technology and improved background checks," he said. "Criminals don't go into gun stores, stand there in the bright light, hand over their driver's license and stand there and wait for the vendor to see if they have a criminal record."

He added: "If you really want to get after gun crime, you get after people who use guns illegally. You don't punish law-abiding citizens."

The 1993 law was a major legislative legacy of Democratic former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, passed when Virginia was a favorite armory for East Coast criminals. It never applied to rifles or shotguns.

The law was intended to?slow the flow of guns from Virginia to New York City and other metropolitan areas in the Northeast. In 1991, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms found that 40 percent of the 1,236 guns found at crime scenes in New York had been purchased in Virginia.

Goddard said the repeal legislation was one of 30 gun bills his organization opposed this year in a session that has seen an increase in conservative measures pushed by Republicans, who strengthened their House majority and gained control of the Senate in last November's elections. Ten of those bills are still alive, he said, whereas in previous years only one or two pro-gun bills typically were passed.

Tips on Selecting the Correct Riding Bit for Your Horse | Articles Bright

There are many kinds of horse bits made of diverse materials. The horse bit is a critical tool to teach a horse to turn and stop or perform other maneuvers. It serves as the communication signal from the rider to the horse especially in first stages of coaching to put pressure on the horse?s face and mouth. The horse tries to figure out the correct way to avoid pressure and moves into the direction of least pressure. As training advances, the horse depends less on the bit and more on the rider?s body cues for control over speed, direction and stopping. The bit only serves as a reminder.

Different stages of horse coaching need different bits designed for differing levels of expertise, both horse experience and training and trainer?s or rider?s experience and expertise. There are two main kinds of bits based on bar configuration: bits with solid mouthpieces such as the curb-type bits, and bits and split mouthpieces e.g. the snaffle-type bits.

Tougher and simpler bits are used for the first stages of coaching to teach certain moves. Less harsh bits are utilized for later stages as the horse has mastered the basic moves. Snaffle bits with no or very short cheeks and with thick, smooth bars are the best beginner bits. They pressure the horse?s lips, bars and tongue and teach turning and stopping. The most often used first bit is the single-joint regular or straightforward snaffle bit and the 2-piece snaffle with curved bars. These are typically utilized for a specified time as they?re not very comfortable for the horse but are necessary for early coaching. Bits with a 3-piece mouth or the loose-cheek snaffles are best for middle stage coaching as they place less pressure on the tongue and more throughout the horse?s mouth. Loose-cheek snaffles are often used as the bridge between the 2-handed snaffle and the 1-handed curb bit. Curb bits are poor at teaching turning but are really good for teaching a horse stopping. They put pressure on more areas than straightforward snaffles but can make a horse high headed. Because of this, they?re typically utilised on neck reining horses and aren?t endorsed for horses less than 5-6 years of age.

Dependent on the training stage of the horse, the experience of the rider and coach, and the usage of the horse, different types of bits can boost or deteriorate a horse?s obedience. As an example, shanked-snaffle bits with 2 rein loops are used for dressage work. Loose cheek snaffles with 3-piece mouth and a lower rein are ordinarily seen in ponies where more control is necessary.

The sort of material that bits are made from is also an important consideration for picking a horse bit. Stainless steel mouths last a lot longer. Sweet iron bits are employed in Western riding as the oxidation of rusting appears sweet and is assumed to inspire horse salivation. Salivation makes a horse more relaxed and docile. Copper also encourages salivation and warms up quickly in cold weather but doesn?t last particularly long. A well-liked combination is the sweet iron bit with copper inlay.

Picking a riding bit needs consideration of the experience of the rider, coach and horse as well as the activities the horse and rider participate in. One must also know how the bit is used to train the horse, what areas it places strain on and the way the horse reacts to it.

Troubled Dippin' Dots has credit frozen

Novelty ice cream maker Dippin' Dots is running out of cash and needs a $2 million credit line to be able to pay its bills, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

      Look for more?exciting eats and foodie trends on the Bites blog

The company is running out of money because the bank that had been its main source of funding is refusing to loan Dippin' Dots more money until CEO Curt Jones is ousted. Alabama-based Regions Bank says it wants a judge to appoint a third-party trustee to run the company instead of Jones.

Jones, in a filing Tuesday, said Fischer Ventures LLC of Edmond, Okla., has offered to finance the company provided it gets first priority on any money Dippin' Dots makes until the loan is paid off. The money is needed to keep the company afloat until the warm-weather season that is peak for selling the beaded ice cream, Jones said.

Regions Bank said Jones, the Brentwood, Tenn., creator of the ice cream, is acting in his own interest and not that of the company or the creditors waiting to recoup debts owed by Dippin' Dots.

Regions is the largest creditor of Paducah, Ky.-based Dippin' Dots, having loaned the company $10.8 million before November's bankruptcy protection filing in federal court in Kentucky. It also loaned Dippin' Dots another $200,000 to keep the company operating after the filing. Regions filed a motion in federal bankruptcy court asking Judge Thomas H. Fulton to remove Jones as the decision maker for Dippin' Dots.

"This approach will save enterprise value and jobs," said Brian H. Meldrum, an attorney for Regions. "The only other alternative is liquidation, which serves nobody."

Fulton set a hearing for Wednesday in Louisville on the request by Regions.

In filings Tuesday afternoon, Dippin' Dots said that Regions Bank's request is unnecessary and that Jones is acting in the best interest of the company while looking for investors or buyers. Dippin' Dots attorney Todd Farmer said the company plans to file a reorganization plan this week that, if approved, would result in creditors being repaid in full within 36 months.

"It is now only when Mr. Jones will not pursue sale opportunities that he does not believe is in the company's long-term best interest, that Regions alleges that Mr. Jones is exercising undue influence," Farmer wrote.

Dippin' Dots filed for court protection in November as it sought to reorganize assets and debts rather than face foreclosure on more than $11 million in loans. The company asked Fulton to allow it to use cash collateral to continue operations while the case plays out. The company said in a filing that allowing it to use the cash collateral and stay functioning will not harm creditors, including its largest single creditor, Regions Bank.

Dippin' Dots, which sells cryogenically frozen beads of ice cream and bills itself as the "Ice Cream of the Future," markets itself to stores, as well as a number of amusement parks, theaters and malls.

In court filings, Regions said Dippin' Dots will be out of operating cash by the end of the month and working at a deficit. Jones' stake in other companies owed money by Dippin' Dots gives him a conflict of interest that cannot be resolved, Meldrum said.

Regions bank accused Jones of trying to "protect his own self-interest" by selling 51 percent of Dippin' Dots Franchising, which reaches agreements with vendors, for $250,000 to keep it from being sold by the bankruptcy court. Regions called the sale to Fischer Ventures a fraudulent attempt to keep the company away from creditors.

"Mr. Jones admitted he was aware that his transaction might be viewed as a 'fraudulent transfer' and indicated he discussed the issue with his attorneys," wrote J. Patrick Warfield, a lawyer for Regions in a letter to other attorneys involved with the bankruptcy. "When asked pointedly whether he undertook this transfer to defraud creditors, Mr. Jones refused to answer."

In the bankruptcy filing, the company listed about $20.2 million in assets and more than $12 million in liabilities. Dippin' Dots listed $27.7 million in income through September, $26.7 million in income in 2010 and $33.8 million in 2009.

Jones, a microbiology graduate of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, created the ice cream beads in 1988. After having to sell a car and raid savings to keep going, he grew the business to nearly 2,000 locations across the country, from mall kiosks to amusement parks and stadiums. The ice cream is stored at 40 degrees below zero and sold at 20 below zero.

Jones resumed daily control of the company in 2009, with the aim of restructuring it to maintain profits even if sales dropped. In making the move, Jones dismissed President Tom Leonard and Operations Vice President Dominic Fontana. Leonard had run luggage maker Samsonite before joining the company.

Man, there sure are some rockstars in our industry, aren?t there? But what about the near opposite? The troll!

Trolls tend to get a bad rap. We think of the little short guy guarding passage to a bridge or the Internet commenter relying on anonymity to protect his vicious stream of vitriol from causing him physical harm. Trolls sometimes might be considered gadflies, but there are two sides to that coin. On the positive side, trolls can adapt to situations under stress and tend to be well connected into many influential communities. They?re not stupid?they tend to be intelligent and use their skills to get people to think about tough issues by presenting a different perspective. Their effectiveness depends on their self-awareness and interactions.

In general, people are savvy to the ways of the troll and are wary of them. They heed the warning, ?Don?t Feed the Trolls? (DFTT), since ?feeding? you information or otherwise inciting you focuses your unwanted attention ? and your potentially dark ways ? on them.

Small Business HR Money Advice | BizEngine | Small Business ...

Making Money With Human Resources AdviceThis guest small business blog post is brought to you by Sean Fahey, the founder of Vidcruiter Inc. Visit their site today for great human resources management advice and great video recruiting products and services!

Imagine this concept: You can have the human resources department start making money for us.

I was talking with a potential client the other day about their business and the fact they get huge amounts of people applying to their jobs. Yet most are not told they don?t get the job.

And I got an epiphany thinking about this. With VidCruiter we make letting people down for you super easy and automatic for you, so you don?t have to do it. To learn more see this blog post at our site. Now a little advice for human resources managers.

The epiphany I had was to also add a coupon for their business to all the non-hires. This only works for B2C companies, but if you add a coupon to your rejection email, not only will people feel better about not getting the job, but now your HR department is now advertising your business and possibly generating new clients and new revenue.

Let me give you an example. Let?s say you?re Best Buy, and you post a job and get 100 resumes. These 100 people are all applying for a job where you only have a single opening. So what happens to those 99 other people? Well, if Best Buy was using VidCruiter or following our advice, they would all get an e-mail saying. om essence, sorry at this time you?re not a match for the position automatically. But here is the kicker. Add in that email something like this:
Sorry you didn?t get the job, but for having taken the time to apply with us, we would like to offer you 10% of your next purchase at Best Buy with this coupon.

So you just sent 99 people, who might not have been too happy with you?and might not even go back into a Best Buy if they were really mad at you?a coupon and an excuse for them to go back and shop with you.

You can also track this coupon use and actually generate some revenue from HR.

Now lets do a little math, how much money does it currently cost for you to send a coupon to 99 people? Is it free? Well this way it is, now lets multiply this scenario for all 3,000 Best Buy locations.

You are now advertising to hundreds of thousands of people a year who might be mad at you for not hiring them and giving them a reason to keep shopping with you. As I said, this is a great move.

This huge marketing potential is not being used by enough companies in the marketplace primarily because the softwaresout there will not let you do this. Folks, I am here to tell you that with VidCruiter you can start your HR department making revenue for your business. Thanks to Sean Fahey for the advice! If you?re interested in learning more about the coupon program described above or you?re asking yourself ?what is human resources,? visit their website.

Clooney's golden statue: Stacy Keibler dazzles at the Academy Awards

George Clooney may not have taken home the Academy Award for Best Actor Sunday night. But that didn't stop him from arriving or leaving the 84th Academy Awards show with a gold, statuesque beauty in girlfriend and former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler. (PHOTOS OF STACY KEIBLER AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS)

Yes, "The Artist" won Best Picture and Best Actor statues - two categories in which Clooney and his film "The Descendents" were favored as strong contenders. Yet he and Stacy unquestionably stole the show, turning heads on the Hollywood red carpet and even attracting the attention of Oscar host Billy Crystal, among others. (CLASSIC STACY PHOTOS)

The long-legged former Diva dropped jaws and widened eyes on Hollywood's biggest night. Even as Clooney would briefly leave her side for an interview or to greet fellow stars, the cameras couldn't keep their lenses off the always-stunning Stacy. During the red carpet events before the 84th Annual Academy Awards show, her gold Marchesa gown drew the praise of fashion critics and established that the former Diva is as stylish as she is gorgeous.

"She looked absolutely divine," lauded host Ross Mathews during "E! Live After Party" while co-host Kristina Guerrero and supermodel Christine Tiegen described Stacy as "a goddess." The three then joked admiringly about the "attractive accessory" on her arm - that being George Clooney. (WATCH)

Oscar host Billy Crystal shared a hilarious moment in the show's opening movie-spoof montage when he shared a kiss with Clooney. Crystal later singled out Stacy, and let her know that he thought she was a lucky girl because Clooney was a great kisser.

Not missing a beat, Stacy took to Twitter and responded to the legendary funny man: "@StacyKeibler: You're right @BillyCrystal he is a good kisser."

Chief suggests negotiation, not agitations for split of Ketu-South ...

You Are Here: Home ? General News ? Chief suggests negotiation, not agitations for split of Ketu-South District

Page last updated at Sunday, February 26, 2012 5:05 AM //

Togbe Addo VIII, Paramount Chief of Klikor Traditional Area, has urged residents of Ketu-South district to stop the street agitations for the district to be split into two.

?For me the prudent thing to do is to go into negotiations and lobbying rather than the confrontation and blackmailing, as the street protests suggest,? he stated.

Togbe Addo was reacting to the recent demonstrations and allegations that he (Togbe Addo) was personally against the split of the current Ketu-South District.

He told the GNA at Klikor that even if the negotiations failed the next proper thing to do was to allow the government to have the upper hand within the spirit of the Rule of Law and good governance while the petitioners re-strategized.

Togbe Addo said it was unclear why the people were refusing the Government?s offer of raising the area to a Municipal Status and that of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) to give the proposed municipal area an additional constituency.

He said as an elder traditional ruler he would not push his subjects to join the agitations.

Togbe Addo urged opinion leaders and chiefs in the area to weigh the issues carefully and avoid pushing the youth into needless demonstrations which amounted to teaching the youth to be lawless and which could also pose danger to the area?s future security.

He said pronouncements on a local radio station by a youthful chief of one of the traditional areas that he was against creating a new district were baseless.

The people of the area, mainly in Aflao, Agbozume and Klikor, commenced agitations when a legislative instrument put before Parliament on the new districts did not include a split of the Ketu-South District into two.

Robert Griffin IIIAP

Robert Griffin III stepped up to the podium at the Combine Friday, surveyed the massive throng of reporters getting in position, and whispered under his breath, ?It?s really official now.?

With a microphone nearby, even that comment was audible to those in the front few rows. Everything Griffin says and does over the next decade is going to be scrutinized. It?s hard to imagine another young man more ready for the responsibility.

It?s only a press conference, but Griffin couldn?t have been more impressive, comfortable, intelligent, and funny on Friday. Press conferences are part of the gig to being an NFL quarterback. Teams like the Browns, Redskins, and Dolphins have to be excited about trying to make Griffin the face of their franchise.

?I hope somebody falls in love with me ? other than my fianc?e,? Griffin said when asked about the Browns possibly ?falling in love? with him.

Some highlights from the session:

'Wanderlust': The Reviews Are In!

Critics are a bit grossed out by the raunchy comedy but still charmed by leading man Paul Rudd.
By Kara Warner

Fans of the big-screen pairing of Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd have likely been waiting for the two likable actors to reunite since their 1998 romantic dramedy "The Object of My Affection." At long last, that wait is over with the release of "Wanderlust," a comedy in which Aniston and Rudd play a stressed-out Manhattan couple who end up traveling through a hippie-ish community that teaches them a lesson or two about what's really important in life.

The critical response is at 55 percent "Fresh" over at Rotten Tomatoes, with some folks enjoying the awkward humor and unflappable charm of Paul Rudd and others having issues with Rudd and Aniston's schtick. Read on as we frolic through the "Wanderlust" reviews!

The Irresistible Charm of Paul Rudd
"Paul Rudd is the best friend a movie comedy can have. He always delivers the goods and something extra, usually something wild and weirdly wonderful. In 'Wanderlust,' Rudd lets the funny fly. Like the movie he's in, Rudd only seems normal. Inside, it's all deliriously unhinged. Rudd plays George, an uptight Wall Street suit squeezed into a Manhattan micro-loft with his documentarian wife Linda (Jennifer Aniston) until the recession shuts them both down. Off they go to Georgia where his idiot brother (Ken Marino, the film's co-writer) offers him a job in his porta-potty business. Unacceptable. So George and Linda take shelter in Elysium, a commune where craziness reigns along with pot, acid, dodgy hygiene and free love. When the luscious Eva (Malin Akerman) offers to get it on with him, George unravels his straight laces. Here comes the Rudd time capsule moment: In a mirror, George rehearses talking dirty to Eva, taking the word 'dick' and stretching it into syllables of near-pornographic hilarity. It helps that Rudd is once again working with director and co-writer David Wain, as he did in 'Role Models' and the immortal 2001 indie 'Wet Hot American Summer.' " — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The Comedy and Quirk Factors
"In sophisticated comedy, what's funny is the tension between proper manners and the nasty or sexy subtext. Whereas in low comedy, there are no manners, and the nasty or sexy subtext is right there on the surface. And then there's 'Wanderlust,' in which the subtext is blasted through megaphones — the characters say so insanely much you want to scream. The satire is as broad as a battleship and equally bombarding. But it takes guts to do a comedy this big without gross-out slapstick, and the writers and the actors are all in. ... You say it sounds like a bunch of stereotypes — and 40-year-old stereotypes? The defense concedes the point. It's not fresh terrain. But this tribe of hippies is also a tribe of marvelously inventive comic actors doing a fair amount of inspired improvisation and grooving on the mindset." — David Edelstein, NPR

The Final Word, Pro-Con-Pro Style
"The role of an uptight fish out of water is what Rudd was born for, and he plays George with the congeniality and improvisatorial brio for which he's become deservedly famous. He and Theroux, who's barely recognizable beneath a thatch of long hair and a beard, deliver the most well-earned laughs in 'Wanderlust,' which otherwise traffics in tired jokes about menstrual cycles, placenta soup and rubbing your fingers together instead of clapping. ... Between this film and last summer's 'Horrible Bosses,' Aniston's coyness — starring in explicit movies without having to be explicit herself — seems to be becoming her stock in trade. It's not a particularly commendable one, and 'Wanderlust' does little to disprove that she's still a star more suited to TV rather than the big screen. As for Rudd, he still has charm to burn, even playing a type he's long since outgrown. Like George observing the overgrown children of Elysium, it might be time for Rudd to move on." — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

"The production has all the style and subtlety — and, admittedly, the exuberance — of TV sketch material. A psychedelic sequence makes Madonna's halftime show look like high art. Both the straight and hippie realms are populated by parallel groups of fevered eccentrics; the cast includes Mr. Marino, Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, Joe Lo Truglio, Kathryn Hahn, Kerri Kenney, Lauren Ambrose and Linda Lavin. Alan Alda is the commune's venerable founder, Carvin, whose brain long ago failed the acid test. 'Wanderlust' is nothing if not strenuous, strident and gross, and most of it fails the comedy test." — Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

"There are so many things to feel guilty about liking in the pure and prurient guilty pleasure that is 'Wanderlust.' Starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, this is a comedy of no manners about finding your bliss and escaping the modern grind. The laughter is served up naughty and nice, and frequently au naturel, earning it an R rating when perhaps RR (really raunchy) would have been more appropriate. Appropriateness, however, has pretty much been jettisoned by the filmmakers, who have opted instead for the good-fun-found-in-bad-taste tradition of 'The Hangover.' Directed by David Wain and co-written with his frequent comic collaborator, Ken Marino, the film is, overall, a very wobbly affair starting with all the dangling naked body parts that greet George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) when the couple pulls into a free-love commune they mistake for a B&B." — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

Five buddy sports

While you can shoot hoops on your own, you certainly can?t beat anyone except your own high score.? Baseball isn?t going to be much fun if you are ready to bat and have no pitcher.? Below are five sports that will just not work without a buddy.? Or if they do, they?ll look plain silly.

1. ?Diving ? Having a dive buddy is imperative to be certified, plus it?s common safety sense.? You can?t dive 90 feet into the open ocean on your own; that?s dumb.? You won?t have help when you run out of air, nobody to warn you that you swam too far from the boat, and nobody to point out that sleeping shark. Throughout your certification process you are taught to work with your dive buddy for hand signals, breathing and rescue techniques.? Don?t dive alone.? PADI wouldn?t like it.

2.??Fencing ? While you can practice in the mirror and perfect your stance, you won?t get very far without practicing with another fencer.? It would look like you were trying to hit a pi?ata, but much less exciting because there?s nobody to cheer you on, and no pi?ata.? If you decide you want to be a fencer, either professionally or for recreation, be sure to find a fencing buddy to join with you.

3. ?Tandem bicycle ? Unless you are 6?7?+, chances are you won?t be able to sit on the back seat of a tandem bicycle and steer from the front.? A bicycle built for two is just that:? for two.? You would look awfully silly pedaling on a tandem bike for a leisurely Saturday morning ride on your own.? Other bikers might think you lost your counterpart.

4.??Tag ? Tag, who?s it?? You can run around in your back yard as much as you want, but what are you going to do, tag the inanimate garden gnome?? I?m sorry, but this game is just not playable without at least two people.? Frozen tag would make for a long afternoon, waiting for someone to set you free.

5.??Tetherball ? I picture a lonely, friendless boy hitting the tetherball back and forth on his own.? Think about it.? Hitting a single ball attached to a string back and forth with himself?all alone?nobody to play with.? Remember the pity you felt for Napoleon Dynamite?? If you ever see someone playing tetherball by themselves, go make a new friend and join in.

What sport or game requires at least one other person? What?s your favorite buddy sport?

Self Help Steps To A New You | Articles Mesmerizing

Making yourself a better person is the most important thing you can do in life. Taking an honest look at yourself, recognizing your flaws and changing them into strengths, is a journey that can take an entire lifetime. While you may never be perfect, here are a few personal development tips to assist you during your self-analysis.

Stop lying to yourself. Everybody makes bad decisions and mistakes. Most people try covering them up by telling themselves and others that it was the only solution possible at the time. Be honest with yourself: recognize and accept your failures and mistakes so that you do not keep on repeating them.

A great self help tip is to get in touch with people that are going through the same thing as you. You can also go to a support group. Getting in touch with people that are going through the same things, can help you because you won?t feel so alone.

Realize the trade-offs of saying yes to people. Every time you say yes to one thing, you are, without speaking, saying no to many other things. When you give time to one thing, you take it away from other activities you could have done. Choose to say yes to the right goals in your life and you will automatically be saying no to the less important things.

Whether you are spiritual, religious, or atheist, look for a higher force that can offer you guidance as you think about yourself, your identity, and your goals for who you want to be. Your higher power need not be a specific deity; the collective writing and stories of mankind can serve as a good example of something that is larger than yourself. You may find that exploring scriptures, literature, or proverbs can help you create yourself.

When working on personal development it is important to find out exactly what it is that you want to do with your life. If the word life sounds too big, you need to at least have a plan for the next 5 years. Having goals bigger than what you are is a way to add value to your life. Make the time for quiet contemplation of where you want your life to go.

Give yourself credit! When you do something right, be proud of it. Don?t talk yourself down or minimize your accomplishments and even more, don?t throw away your accomplishments. If you have completed a course, won a prize, or done anything else noteworthy, take note! Build on your accomplishments to keep your self-esteem high!

Keep a list of all the times in your life when you felt big or incredibly strong. Try making this list every night before you go to bed. There are no things that are too small or silly; go ahead and list them. Use these remembrances to help draw on your inner strength and add those familiar feelings to who you are today.

When it comes to personal development make sure that everything you do is in a productive nature. This is important so that your personal wealth is always growing. You need to take care of your possessions and only add possessions that have worth and can grow in wealth over time.

Experience is the teacher, however, insight is the reward. You must learn from mistakes, failures and even successes to better understand how to succeed in the future. This foundation of experiences not only teaches, but will soon lead to insight of outcomes based on past successes. Being able to expect an outcome based on knowledge of past is much better than hoping.

Your personal development never stops fand that?s why it?s always important to keep learning. Use these tips to bolster your efforts to be a better person and a better you. Be gentle on yourself and if you find yourself going backwards, don?t despair. Being the best you that you can be will take some time, but you?ll like the person you become.

Pot plane intercepted in Obama no-fly zone

KNBC-TV

About 2 p.m. ET, the single-engine Cessna 182 entered airspace that had been restricted as Obama was returning to Los Angeles International Airport aboard Marine One, the presidential helicopter, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, said in a statement.

The pilot never responded to repeated attempts to make contact by air traffic controllers,?the Los Angeles Times reported.

Two F-16 fighter jets from March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County intercepted the plane and followed it as it made its way to a safe landing, where the pilot was met by local authorities, NORAD said.

NORAD would give no further details, citing operational security, but sources told NBC News Justice Department correspondent Pete Williams that the plane was escorted to Long Beach Airport. Authorities searched the plane and found about 22 pounds of marijuana on board, the sources said.
