It's a simple and fun form of time management.What makes this program so different?
It was created by a real Santa Claus.As a professional Santa, for over 35 years, Santa Tim Connaghan has been a public speaker offering programs on 'The History of Santa Claus,' and 'The Symbols of Christmas.' After many years of also answering questions on other subjects related to the Holidays, He began giving suggestions and advice.
This lead to the creation of "How to Get a Head Start on the Holidays."Santa Tim's goal is to spread this message across America and help people everywhere.
For the past few years, he has done this through live presentations.
Some groups and organizations asked for copies.
So this past year he put pen to paper and produced the presentation as a full news article and as a one page flyer that could easily be reproduced and sent out.
A few clubs have included the one page in their electronic newsletter to members.He also created a web site where interested individuals or families can visit and select a four, five or six month plan that will aid them in 'getting a head start.'
The web address is http://www.getaheadstart.info
Full copies of his articles and the plans are available on the web site.If you are interested in "Getting a Head Start," visit the web site.
Santa Tim hopes others will study the simple program and pass the word on to others.
In this way he hopes he can reach more people and hopefully make everyone's holiday season more enjoyable.

Televisions
One of the best inventions in the world of digital media, television is a telecommunicating system that transmits images, accompanied with sounds and special effects, over a long distance. The word television is derived from two words ? tele (which means "far" in Greek) and visio (which means "vision" or "sight" in Latin).
Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a German student, proposed the first electromechanical television system in 1885. The discovery of cathode ray tubes in 1897, by K. F. Braun was a major landmark.
Later in 1927, Philo Taylor Farnsworth envisioned the first fully electronic system. He conducted the world's premier public demonstration of an all-electronic television system on August 25, 1934, at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
Besides Farnsworth, Vladimir Kosma Zworykin is also sometimes called the Father of the television because of his invention of iconoscope in 1923 and kinescope in 1929. On July 3, 1928, John Logie Baird demonstrated...

Anam Cara Making sense of life
In Corrogue this Anam Cara or Soul Friend is coming to his senses.This morning it is a wet and windy Sunday morning. Each Sunday morning is an extended morning of rest. It is a morning of practice. I practice slowly coming to my senses. It is a morning in which I practice deep caring for the body and the soul.
This is a practice of awareness of the sensationalism of life moment to moment.We are beings of the senses. We make sense of our world via the senses. The senses are gateways. They keep us locked into a certain reality but they can be the medium of freedom from the limitation we call "our life." For too long religion has labelled the senses as something "not quite nice." For too long we have separated our senses as being something "not spiritual." Many of our religions have done the same with the sensational experience we call sex. As an Aman Cara I teach spirituality of the senses.
I teach what Van Morrison calls "A sense of wonder." An Anam Cara teaches you to honour...

?Bleeding Edge? Polymer Semiconductor Research Receives Acclaims
A team of material scientists, led by Professor Samson A. Jenekhe formerly of the University of Rochester's Department of Chemical Engineering, have developed a family of plastic electroluminescent devices.
This family of technologies has potential applications in more efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells, video displays, as well as other electronic devices, and is the subject of U.S. Patent 6,605,904.
Jenekhe's research was recently recognized by Thomson research company in its "Fast Moving Fronts," which identifies trends and growth areas within materials sciences and other disciplines.
His research is focused on one of the major challenge of developing plastic, or polymer-based, semiconductors ? to make efficient, high-performance semiconductors for use in applications where traditional polymer semiconductors fall short.
These high-performance semiconductors are called multicomponent organic semiconductors.
The challenge...
