Candace Bailey is a stunning beauty
wikipedia: Bailey played Skylar Stevens on the CBS series Jericho from 2006 to 2008. Prior to that, she was on Nickelodeon’s U-Pick Live from 2002 to 2005. She also appeared in the music video of “Goodnight Goodnight” by Maroon 5.
Bailey has said that after Jericho was cancelled she worked as a cocktail waitress and babysitter between acting jobs and that work made her more appreciative of her acting opportunities. Other TV appearances have included episodes of Ghost Whisperer (January 2010, Episode 5.12), The Sopranos, Robot Chicken, As the World Turns, Slime Time Live and a co-hosting slot on a kids-focused 2004 Super Bowl pre-game show.
On January 11, 2011, Bailey joined Kevin Pereira as the new co-host of Attack of the Show!

Are You Future-Focused or Present-Focused?

Found this and had to share. Read it and think about it.
Most people are naturally one way or the other—they either focus on long-term goals or they want immediate gratification. As entrepreneur Derek Sivers explains, always sticking to one pattern of thought is detrimental. The greatest success comes from overriding your natural tendencies to find a balance of the two.
The Marshmallow Experiment
Forty years ago, at a nursery school at Stanford University, psychology professor Walter Mischel ran an experiment.
A bunch 4-year-olds were brought into a room, one at a time. They were given one marshmallow, and told they were allowed to eat it immediately, but if they could wait 15 minutes without eating it, they’d be given a second marshmallow, and could eat both.
70% of the kids ate the marshmallow right away. Only 30% of the kids could wait the full 15 minutes to get the second marshmallow. This experiment has been repeated in other countries (Brazil and Japan) over the years, and the ratio stays the same: two-thirds can’t wait, one-third wait.
But here’s the interesting part:
15 years later, the researchers followed-up and found that those kids who waited for the second marshmallow scored, on average, 250 points higher on the SAT test, and were higher achievers in whatever field they had chosen (academic, athletic, artistic). They were all-around more successful and happier.
So the ability to delay gratification is one of the best indicators of future success.
iPhone 5.. or is it?
As the date approaches for Apple’s announcement of the new iPhone 5 I found this video to be particularly interesting. Is this real?

Atari: celebrating 40 years on the dots
Source: Engadget
Forty years. That’s a long time in the tech industry and Atari knows it. Today it celebrates four decades in the game, and quite the tale it is. Highs, lows and everything in between, Atari has been there. As one of the most influential brands both in gaming and technology, it only seems right to take a look over the company’s history and chart some of the more significant twists in its less than straightforward journey. After the break we speak to the man that started it all and the one currently at the helm, as well as some of the many people whose lives were irreversibly changed by its influence. Happy birthday to you, Atari!
