Quotes About In Adversity
The trials and pressures of life--and how we face them--often define us. Confronted by adversity, many people give up while others rise up. How do those who succeed do it? They persevere. They find the benefit to them personally that comes from any trial. And they recognize that the best thing about adversity is coming out on the other side of it. There is a sweetness to overcoming your troubles and finding something good in the process, however small it may be. Giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. Persevering through adversity makes one better.Send Quote
As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people. As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger.Send Quote
Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God's most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.Send Quote
Even the most daring and accomplished people have undergone tremendous difficulty. In fact, the more successful they became, the more they attributed their success to the lessons learned during their most difficult times. Adversity is our teacher. When we view adversity as a guide towards greater inner growth, we will then learn to accept the wisdom our soul came into this life to learn.Send Quote
No one wants adversity. Trials, disappointments, sadness, and heartache come to us from two basically different sources. Those who transgress the laws of God will always have those challenges. The other reason for adversity is to accomplish the Lord's own purposes in our life that we may receive the refinement that comes from testing. It is vitally important for each of us to identify from which of these two sources come our trials and challenges, for the corrective action is very different.Send Quote
No adversity is in kind or degree peculiar to us; but if we survey the conditions of other men (of our brethren everywhere, of our neighbours all about us), and compare our case with theirs, we shall find that we have many consorts and associates in adversity, most as ill, many far worse bestead than ourselves; whence it must be a great fondness and perverseness to be displeased that we are not exempted from, but exposed to bear a share in the common troubles and burdens of mankind.Send Quote
Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.Send Quote
The notion that artists flourish upon adversity and misunderstanding, that they are able to function to the utmost in an atmosphere of indifference or hostility - this notion is nine-tenths nonsense.Send Quote
It is often during the worst of times that we see the best of humanity""awakening within the most ordinary of us that which is most sublime. I do not believe that it is circumstance that produces such greatness any more than it is the canvas that makes the artist. Adversity merely presents the surface on which we render our souls' most exacting likeness. It is in the darkest skies that stars are best seen.Send Quote
Every moment of life brings an opportunity for being conscious of human feeling, in prosperity, in adversity, in all conditions. It costs very little; only a little thought is necessary. There is no greater religion than love. God is love; and the best form of love is to be conscientious regarding the feelings of those with whom we come in contact in everyday life.Send Quote
Most successful people can identify one minute, one moment, where their lives changed, and it usually occurred in times of adversity.Send Quote
I have worked in the homes of many successful people and have seen firsthand that everyone fails in life, but failure can be a gift if you don't give up and are willing to learn, improve, and grow because of it. � You see, failure often serves as a defining moment, a crossroads on the journey of your life. � It gives you a test designed to measure your courage, perseverance, commitment, and a dedication. � Are you a pretender who gives up after a little adversity or a contender who keeps getting up after getting knocked down?Send Quote
I have always tried to teach my players to be fighters. When I say that, I don't mean put up your dukes and get in a fistfight over something. I'm talking about facing adversity in your life. There is not a person alive who isn't going to have some awfully bad days in their lives. I tell my players that what I mean by fighting is when your house burns down, and your wife runs off with the drummer, and you've lost your job and all the odds are against you. What are you going to do? Most people just lay down and quit. Well, I want my people to fight back.Send Quote
Make yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts. None of us knows what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thought-proof against all adversity. Bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot disturb, nor pain make gloomy, nor poverty take away from us.Send Quote
God does not always punish a nation by sending it adversity. More often He gives the oppressors their hearts' desire, and sends leanness withal into their soul.Send Quote
Recommend virtue to your children, that alone - not wealth - can give happiness. It upholds in adversity and the thought of it and my art prevents me from putting an end to my life.Send Quote
Don't let the workings of adversity totally absorb your life. Try to understand what you can. Act where you are able; then let the matter rest with the Lord for a period while you give to others in worthy ways before you take on appropriate concern again.Send Quote

Oh, by all means be as grimace-y as you need to be! Sometimes, that's just what it takes. I'm sorry your house stuff is a nightmare right now and that you're delaing with lots of other little headaches and uncertainties. We get too good at that, don't we? (Wrong or misplaced RE tests have become a particular specialty of mine). And as for that insurence lady...? Just. No. Words. Send me her address, because I'd like to go punch her in the face. Raging right along with you! And hoping the storm clears soon.ReplyDeleteReplies
It'd be one thing if she were looking at my chart and saying I didn't need the test, but she didn't even have my records! She had no CLUE. Gah!Delete
I hate that insurance lady and want to beat her up for you.ReplyDeleteReplies

Coming Darkness
This is an ancient long dead legend that has faded from our lives and into the depths of time. It was forgotten because those that remembered it have died with it.
The blade glowed with a bluish aura of power as it came crashing down upon the hideous and terrifying creature's head. The well-struck blow went deep and the red life force shot out into the air. It landed several feet onto the ground and sizzled from the heat that was forever contained in it. The creature snarled something out of this world and collapsed to the ground with a thud. The man who struck the blow walked quickly by, his metal boots clanking against the ground. This was followed by another group of the same type of metal boots. Down a hallway they ran to a long flight of stairs leading upwards into darkness.
A hand grabbed the lead man's armored shoulder causing the group of men to stop. "We must hurry, the devious wizard resides up those stairs, I know this." The voice said preparing the rest of the men. He paused for a moment, seemingly to choose his words carefully so an explanation was not needed afterwards. "Make it swift and fast. Do not let him conjurer more of these vile demons from beyond! Daeloth depends on us!" the man said once more before turning to the stairs. The armor-clad group rushed up the stairs to a large door of wood and it was promptly knocked aside.
They entered a large room, which appeared to be a hastily created ritual chamber of some sorts. Long tables stacked with books and strange flasks and slaves where set against the wall, making the center of the room empty for the ritualistic requirements. In the center of the room was a ring of blood red candles on top of a thin layer of blood. Within this circle was a robed figure. The commotion from the door being destroyed disturbed the wizard's concentration and he quickly looked toward the entranceway. His view shifted as he prepared the final rites of his summoning. He lifted his arms and chanted the words needed. An aura of red light engulfed him.
The lead soldier leapt forward and thrust his sword into the wizard and a screech of great pain echoed from his dry mouth. The red aura spread from the wounded man to the ring of candles. His body slumped to the floor.
"You're too late! I have done it; I have brought them to us! Fire will burn the world and cast us down to what we should be! Ash!" he laughed manically, with a hint of insanity in his eyes. Soon after his eyes became the look of death. The room began to shutter and the candles beyond to tip onto the floor, their hot wax mixing with the blood creating a disgusting smell. The lead knight backed up to the line of his men.
"What is this?!" asked one man.
"The end." The lead man said with a clear sense of hopelessness in his voice.
The red aura shot out in all directions and then faded, and began to waft around the room like smoke. It made it's way into the body of the dead wizard. His body started to convulsion violently and red strands of light coalesced his body.
None of them men where brave enough to investigate any further. The body shortly returned to normal, the red smoke rising out of it. Darkness seemed to fill the room as the seconds went on. The body began to stir again and it stood up! The armed man gasped in shock at this. The dead wizard's mouth opened and a demonic laughter emitted from it stunning all who stood in the room that moment.
"Is'aier Jzier'ihhhhh Dur-adber-ashhh sdieh—aahherrridf'sd!" wailed the wizard as he threw his arms into the air and his body became illuminated in a red light. The men looked to the wizard's face and saw it melting before their eyes. His flesh dripped to the ground along with his blood and then his bones fell to the ground. All who stood in the room was filled with a fear that was indescribable. Before the men could do or say anything something began to form above the circular ritualistic ring of blood. It was gathering power and strength and it was black as the blackness night during winter.
"Brace your selves!" yelled the lead man as he raised his sword in anticipation at the growing blackness before him. At full power the blackness was ready to do it's master's bidding. A giant horrendous creature leapt out of it. It was seven feet tall and was powerfully built. It had what appeared to be leathery skin with sharp spikes where located long it's arms and legs. It had red eyes, burning red eyes. Its mouth was sinister with a devilish grin to it, fangs protruding downwards out of the corners.
The men quickly shook their fear off and charged forward. The demon cried a heart-wrenching scream and swept its powerful arm forward to knock several of the men down at its right. It quickly turned to it's left and stuck one a long claw into the chest of a man and he fell down the ground in a deathly agony. The battle raged on but it was hopeless, soon 11 bodies where added to the blood that was already on the floor. One man was left and he stood at the entrance of the doorway.
"You will not pass. I will send you back to the abyss!" he screamed raising his sword, it was glowing bright blue. "By the Order that I live by, give me the power I seek!" he screamed even louder and in response a flash of bright blue light shot forth from the blade. It filled the room, blinding the demon momentarily. The man rushed forward and swung a powerful swing at the creature's chest. The demon stood still and watched the blade enter its flesh and exited at the other side of its body. It fell, the creature's blood burning the wooden floor.
Its head slowly moved to the victor standing above it. "Your…death…is now…." It snarled and the fiery eyes faded to the color of ash. As this happened the black portal shuddered and shrieked. The Mystic Knight turned to the sound to only see hundreds of the demons he just killed come flooding through the gate before him.
"This is the end…" he said and was over taken by the hideous creatures, his screams muffled from the shrieking black gate in the room.
The town was of Daeloth was quiet. This would be the last day of that. Until its destruction the cries of torture and death would fill the streets, both day and night.
Fall from Grace
This is an ancient long dead legend that has faded from our lives and into the depths of time. It was forgotten because those that remembered it have died with it.
Long stone pillars lined two sides a large rectangular shaped hall. In-between the beautifully crafted pillars stood marble statues of long men of great stature. At one end was a large wooden door that looked as if it could withstand any assaults against it. The other end of the hallway was a large throne quietly sitting on top of a small raised platform. The air was filled with a feeling of death and dread. Breaking the long silence was a loud crack against the formidable wooden doors, they shuddered from the force of the blow.
Echoes of heavily armored footsteps clanged against the ground between the cracks against the door. A line of men stood before the door. The men had their swords drawn and their blades glowed a bright blue color. A gentle hum emitted from the dangerous blades, but it was drowned in the repeating crashing against the door. The men's armor was extravagant and skillfully crafted. The chest plate was decorated with gold, silver and the finest gems that money could afford. The blue light from the weapons gleaned off of the metal and brightened the darkened room. Behind the formation stood two men: one appeared to be wearing the same armor as the men in the formation, while the second one was dressed in even more beautiful armor. A long and bright red cape draped from his shoulders to his feet. The expressions on these two men's faces were stern and unchanging. There was a look of confidence on their faces, which was demonstrated in the fact that each man's weapon was sheathed at their side
The wooden door began to buckle from the barrage of blows it was receiving on the other side. The captain behind the formation turned to the intimidating figure next to him and there was a hint of failure in his eyes. The leader casually raised his hand. "This is where it ends, Aeuren." He said in a deep voice. Aeuren gave a quick nod and returned to his view to the door before him.
Aeuren took a step forward, the echo of his boot clashing against the stone floor filling the room. "Before us lies the greatest moment that we will ever face in our life and we stand together! We will defend the Order of the Shield until the very last man because we are the last! Perform your oath and your duties because you are Mystic Knights!" he screamed as the wooden door buckled even more against the forceful blows. An explosion of wood shot out from the door as a leathery hand burst through it. Heat and a red light filled the room instantly. The men stood firm against this force.
The door quickly fell to a submission of renewed aggression against it. The center of the door burst apart into thousands of pieces as a horde of devilish creatures spewed forth. These creatures had bone spikes sticking out along its arms and legs. At the end of their muscular and strong arms were huge and terrifying claws. Its large head was the home to a set of glowing red eyes and a stomach wrenching set of dangerous teeth. The first wave of these creatures crashed into the line of Knights. A grand display of blue light and magical powers ensued as the men battled against the demon horde. The powerful weapons of the Mystic Knights cleaved easily through the leathery skin of the demons. Normal weapons seemed to have little effect against these creatures but the legendary weapons the Mystic Knights carried proved to be very dangerous. The screams of the demons drowned out all other sounds from combat. The first wave ended in victory for the Mystic Knights: a pile of demon bodies' lie at their feet.
Peace seemed to settle on in the hall but this was quickly broken as this time the door blew from its hinges and was sent to the other side of the area. The doorway was filled with what seemed like an endless sea of death and destruction. This sea poured into the hall and engulfed the line of men that stood to defend it. The sheer amount of enemies proved to be overwhelming for the Mystic Knights and men began to fall before the might of the horde; blades that where once bright with a blue color faded to the blackness of death.
Aeuren drew his weapon at the site of the faltering line before him. He put his arm across the leader's chest indicating him to step back for protection. Aeuren moved in front of his leader. Just as he moved into position a demon broke through the line and leapt at the two men. Aeuren raised the sword to his chest and a huge wall of bluish light expanded before him. The demon smashed into the wall and incapacitated him from the force of the blow. Aeuren remained in the back keeping close guard over his leader.
Another hole appeared in the line before Aeuren and the demons started to flow towards there. Aeuren raised his sword into the air. Small streaks of blue light shot into the blade and empowered it. He brought the weapon down towards the hole and a wide beam of blue power shot forth that incinerated all of the demons in its path. The beam crashed through the broken doorway and beyond. The cries of the horde were clearly heard over the battle. Aeuren stepped back as the air crackled and sparked around him. The Mystic Knights began to move backwards against the onslaught; they could not keep their ground. Eventually, the demons stopped pouring in and the Mystic Knights killed all that remained in the room. "Victory…" murmured Aeuren under his breath with pleasure.
A large figure appeared in the broken doorway. He was built like the previous demons but an aura of fire hovered around him. The room became much hotter then before. The small group of Knights tightened their formation around Aeuren and their leader. The demon walked forward towards the group of men. None of the Knights made any moves. They stood and waited.
The creature stopped before them. "If…you give me…him…" the demon pointed his arm at the man standing behind Aeuren, "…I will…let you…all go."
Aeuren stepped forward. "I will not have that!" he yelled and raised his weapon to strike. The demon quickly reacted by slashing his arm toward the man. A stream of liquid fire shot forth and struck him across the chest. The force of the blow sent him flying through the air and he smashed against a nearby wall. The other Knights quickly took their weapons in hand and battled this demon. The battle was short lived, as all but two men remained alive: a single Knight and the leader.
The demon smiled at the two them as smoke rose from the freshly burnt corpses. The final Knight held his weapon before him in anticipation for anything. The demon slowly walked towards the Knight. "Give…him…to…me" he struggled to say. The Knight did not say or move. Quickly the demon grabbed the Knight's face and began to squeeze it under immerse strength. The man's face burnt and sizzled from the heat. His face melted and his insides dripped on the stone ground. The body slumped to the ground in a mass of charred and liquefied flesh.
The leader did not move but stood still. He stood alone in the presence of a mighty demon. The end was coming…he knew it. The Order will fall and this will be the start of it. All the training, all the preparation, everything seemed to have came to this point, to this failure. He had only himself to blame. He was not able to see this and he was not able to stop it. It would only be right for him to die along with the Order. It would be the only thing he could do. The man turned his view to Aeuren. The young man's body was curled up into a small ball. The breastplate was charred from intense heat but he could barely see the slight movement of breathing. At least Aeuren would live…hopefully. The leader turned his view back to the demon.
"You want me and you will receive me!" he screamed as he threw back his cape and with amazing skill and speed drew his weapon, which was a dull gray at his side. As he raised the sword into the air the blade exploded into a blinding blue light. The man's movements were fluid and he seemed to move like water passing through a rocky stream. The blade came crashing down and pierced the demon's chest and shot out the opposite side. The demon screamed in a terrifying pain. His large arms extended and grabbed onto the man's shoulders. The vile creature pulled with all his strength and tore the arms from the man's body and both fell back in an indescribable pain.
The leader landed next to the throne and he could see Aeuren laying a ways off. He could see Aeuren dazedly staring at him. A smile came across the leader's lips as the last of his life force was drained.
The Order of the Shield began to fall from grace and become but a memory in the minds of the people who still lived…and a legend for all who came into being in the future.

Tina Charles of the New York Liberty is not only a star player for her team, she is a star in the world of philanthropy as well.
Charles announced that she's donating half her WNBA salary to charity even though that brings her down to $50,00 a year in take-home pay.
After losing her aunt in 2013, Charles helped found a charity called Hopey's Heart, an organization that aims to distribute automated external defibrillators to needy patients. With her foundation she has bought 142 of the machines already. She donates half her own salary to purchase more.
This year Hopey's Heart Foundation also expands its reach to Europe with 165 new devices heading to needy patients overseas.
"It means a lot just to keep the awareness out there about sudden cardiac arrest," Charles said this week. "Taking an interest in others is key in my life. It's my way of giving back. My passion of placing AEDs. Anything I can do to impact an institution with an AED is extremely important to me."
The WNBA star was also instrumental in having every EuroLeague women's basketball arena equipped with the defibrillators.
Charles' former coach, Mike Thibault of Connecticut, effusively praised the payer's charity work. "It's a wonderful thing and she sets a great example for other players in the league and allows our fans to see our players in our league can make a difference outside of basketball," he gushed. "I'm proud of her for it."

The cops accused of attacking Abner Louima say they cannot get a fair trial in the wake of the Amadou Diallo killing – and want the judge to postpone their impending trial for four months.
Lawyers for the cops filed a letter in Brooklyn federal court yesterday seeking to have the trial – which had been slated to begin April 20, pushed back until at least August.
Jury selection began Monday, but the process was quickly called into question when several potential panelists gave interviews to television reporters immediately after filling out a written questionnaire.
Judge Eugene Nickerson had ruled that the jury would be anonymous.
Calling Monday's events "a circus," lawyers for the cops say the interviews tainted the entire jury pool of over 600 people.
They want that group dismissed and a new one brought in to start the process again from scratch.
Nickerson has scheduled a hearing today to hear arguments on the issue.
Federal prosecutor Alan Vinegrad declined to comment on the request, saying he would respond in court.
The defense letter claims a "veritable blitz of prejudicial news coverage" has made it impossible to get a fair and impartial panel at this time.
"Police brutality has become the central political issue in the New York Metropolitan area as of late, and the media has inflamed these passions further," the letter says.
Officers Justin Volpe, Charles Schwarz, Thomas Wiese, Thomas Bruder, and Sergeant Michael Bellomo – a supervisor accused of trying to cover up the abuses – still want the trial moved out of the city.
Failing that, their lawyers say, a four-month delay is necessary until "the public's sensibilities are less raw."
There is precedent for such a move. When John Gotti went on trial in 1986, Nickerson imposed a similar delay after deciding that pre-trial publicity had made jury selection impossible.
But in that instance, Nickerson opted for the delay only after quizzing potential jurors for several days.

(If you still have questions, be sure to email us!)
Isnt it best fishing in the morning?
Not necessarily. Fish in the Pacific Ocean travel and feed with the currents, tides and temperature of water. At different times of the year different species pass through our waters.
Can anyone do it?
Of course, anyone can! We have a well trained crew that will guide you and help you every step of the way. Keep in mind though, that the gear can be heavy, and younger children will most likely have trouble.
Dont you get tired of reeling?
Sometimes. But you will be very surprised how much energy you have when your adrenalin is flowing! But if you are all out of energy the crew will pull line for you and make it easier to reel.
What kind of fish do you catch and how big are they?
We catch a variety of Marlin -- Blue, Black Striper, Broad Bill and Spearfish. Tuna -- Ahi, Yellow fin, Big eye, Koshibi, Aku, Tombo and Kava Kava. Mahi Mahi (Dorado or Dolphin), Ono ( Wahoo), Rainbow Runner, Ulua, Baracuda, Kahala. The fish can range from 3 lbs up to around a thousand lbs.
What if I get sea sick?
There are preventatives. You can get patches from a doctor or sea bands from the drug store which press on pressure points on your wrist. They also have products like Dramamine and Bonine. It's good to take one the night before and one an hour before you get on the boat. This seems to work very well for most people. It's also good not to eat greasy or acidic foods prior to the charter. Eat a light meal which includes things like bagels, toast or muffins before you get on board. Once you're on board saltine crackers help if your stomach feels a little queasy.
For some people, seasickness is inevitable regardless of what they try. In such cases, please understand, we are not able to provide refunds.
How do we dress?
Dress in layers, light jacket or sweatshirt, T-shirt, swim trunks, bathing suit or shorts and a pair of rubber sole shoes.
What do we bring?
Camera, sun screen, hat and sunglasses.
Do you supply food?
e do provide soda, however guests must provide their own food and any other beverages they like (no glass bottle please). We have coolers and ice on board for your supplies, so there's no need for coolers.
Are we expected to tip the captain and crew?
Like many other service industries, tipping is customary if you feel you are served well.
Do you see Dolphins?
I've been on the waters here in Hawaii for 20 years and you see all kinds of marine life. Turtles, all kinds of Dolphins (Bottle Nose, Spinner, and Spotted), Pilot Whale, Humpback Whale, Whale Sharks, Monk Seals...etc. The Humpback Whale also breeds here in the Hawaiian waters December Through April. We also do Private whale watches or we do a combination fishing/ whale watch trip and make the whole family happy.
What do you do with the fish?
When we catch a fish that is under 50 lbs. that's good to eat like Mahi Mahi, Ono, Aku, Koshibi, Kava Kava, Ulua or Rainbow Runner we will cut one and make filets for everyone on board to have a nice dinner or BBQ. We will also cut some sashimi for Pupus (appetizers) at the dock. Our captain and crew have a variety of Hawaiian Style recipes for cooking fish to help you have a meal to remember on Kauai.
What if we catch a "trophy" fish??
Hana Pa'a Charters can mount your catch through Grays Taxidermy in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. We also can print the actual fish that you caught in the old gyotaku style. In two or three days it can be ready to take home with you! This is a very unique way that other boats don't offer. To view a few sample gyotaku, click here.

Alternate title : How to effectively solve the problem of ever growing traffic?
There is one thing which I have noticed while driving around in Kolkata – Most of the Privately owned cars are driven by hired-drivers instead of the car owners. This applies to people owning Audi Q7 as well as Tata Nano. May sound unbelievable, but a good number of low-end cars are driven by hired drivers while the owners prefer to sit comfortably on the back seat. Why? Ask a person who owns a vehicle and he would not hesitate to blame it on the pathetic state of roads and disgusting traffic. And this isn't false.
But if we try to look at the bigger picture here, to identify the root of the problem, it is not difficult to rule out bad roads and bad driving sense as the major culprits of strenuous driving experience that the drivers face today. The actual culprit is the ever increasing number of privately owned cars.
According to an estimate, there are around 6 billion people worldwide today and the number of cars on our planet is around 800 Million. By 2050, the population is expected to rise to 9 billion people whereas the number of cars on the planet are expected to double. Considering the present scenario, when traffic management is becoming increasingly difficult worldwide, it is quite unimaginable as to how our present traffic management tools will be able to cope up with that much traffic. What is demanded is a Revolution and a change in the way how things work today in the transport industry.
Even though different people will suggest different solutions, the most successful solution is bound to be based on public transportation. As everyone knows, public transportation brings down the vehicle-to-passenger ratio hence reducing the number of vehicles on road. But, the present public transport system isn't capable enough to cater to the current needs of commuters, let alone the increased requirements of the future. Hence, this calls for an innovative solution with public transportation at its heart.
In one of the recent TED talks by Bill Ford, who is the Executive chair of the Ford Motor Company, shared the same concern. In his talk, he demonstrated how we are addressing the problem of ever increasing cars in the wrong way. He calls for the development of technology which will enable inter-vehicle communication which will lead to a more uniformly distributed traffic along all routes.
At the very same time, when Americans suggest to solve this problem with better navigation and smart vehicle networks, the Europeans have chosen a different way to control this. In London, each car driver is required to pay a 'congestion tax' which is very much like the Toll tax except that there is no toll booth. Elsewhere, government regulations have put the maximum speed limit to around 10-20mph in city while completely restricting cars from entering several roads. All of this has been done to promote public transport and to prioritize the pedestrians. (Read – Across Europe, Irking Drivers is Urban Policy)
While the western world is busy devising their ways to tackle the imminent traffic gridlock, our country is cherishing the prospect of a proposed Metro Rail Project in some XYZ city. This is when, Metro Rail Projects are very expensive, can never recover the initial capital costs from their incomes, and are capable of serving only a fraction of the population since they are not well spread out in the city. The attached link (Bangalore – Metro is not a solution) explains why Metro Rail is not as successful as it is in cities like London. This document also compares the effectiveness of Metro Rails with that of expansion of Bus Networks. Further, as the effectiveness of Metro Rail was criticized and was considered too expensive and time-taking to setup, the possibility of setting up Monorails came into picture. As of now, Mumbai will be the first Indian city to test the concept of Monorails in the Indian Scenario. Chennai, where the construction of Metro Rails is still on, seems to be next Indian city where Monorails will be constructed. ( Read – Monorail or Metro Rail: the pros and cons )
In my opinion, I feel that using BRT (Bus Rapid Transport) systems is the best solution at hand for the developing nations. In India, this system was tested in Delhi where it has gained appreciation as well as criticism from the public. The reactions are obvious. People who travel by buses on BRT corridors appreciate the service whereas the car owners, travelling on the same route, criticize it for reducing the space available to them for driving hence causing even worse traffic jams. But the idea is simple. The ultimate objective is to benefit maximum people, which is being done as more people are transported by buses on these routes as compared to cars, and to prioritize public transport. The latter is very important since it provides an incentive to the public travelling by private vehicles to switch to public transport. BRT is also a more viable solution since it can be brought into existence with minimum gestation period and less amount of capital involvement as compared to the Metro Rails and Monorails. Plus, BRT corridors offer flexibility since a normal vehicle can also run on that track, when required, hence can be helpful in providing a faster track to Ambulances, Fire trucks and School Buses. But I will also state that the current BRT system has some faults which need to be worked upon before this system is applied elsewhere in the country.

Defining Moments: Jeff Arthurs from Gordon Conwell on Vimeo. From Dr. Jeff Arthurs, author of Devote Yourself to the Public Reading of Scripture: The Transforming Power of the Well Spoken Word
Working through our Coming of God series for Advent, I've been reading a number of books on the incarnation. Two books, in particular, have been scintillating, along with an essay by Princeton theologian Robert Jensen. Man Christ Jesus: Theological Reflections on the Humanity of Christ (Bruce Ware) This short, accessible book has a lovely cover design and thought provoking reflections on incarnation. I found chapter two, on the role of the Spirit in the life of Christ, especially enjoyable. While
Advent season offers a unique opportunity to reflect on one of the most fascinating claims about Jesus–his incarnation. Depending on your vantage point, the incarnation may sound like a fantastic fairy tale, a mind-blowing reality, a comforting truth, or uninteresting doctrine. I find it both outlandish and profound. God becoming a baby? Really? How absurd. What would compel God to do that? How is it possible? And if he did come, why not come as an adult and skip the

We were struck by the pessimistic review of the frozen yogurt business in your Nov. 7 Monday report, "Yogurt: Southland's Cup Runneth Over." Undeniably there is reason for pessimism when dozens of small "mom and pop" and franchised stores are closing, although the sheer proliferation of yogurt stores is a factor. We would, however, question whether the "yogurt store on every corner" syndrome is the only cause of distress. Couldn't it also be the maturing of the industry and the obsolescence of franchise corporation marketing concepts to which all franchise and most independents subscribe?
The oldest maxim in retail marketing is "give your customers what they want." For us this means the convenience and fun of making your own frozen yogurt treat and having a large number of choices in doing so.
There is nothing new in these concepts. Baskin & Robbins recognized the value of offering 31 flavors four decades ago, and the corner ice cream store became nostalgia. Arco's am/pm mini-markets innovated with self-service for many different products several years ago.
Independent stores can thrive if owners are able to rethink or even discard marketing concepts derived consciously or, more likely, unconsciously, from franchised frozen yogurt corporations. Focus on the needs of the customers in your market area and find the ways to satisfy those desires profitably. Develop the novel concepts required to succeed in an emerging and complex industry. The opportunity exists today for the future Baskin & Robbins of frozen yogurt, if Baskin & Robbins doesn't get there first.

Dewalt Drill Brush Replacement
- By - online
- dewalt drill
- 0
Regardless of the nature of your energy bore, the time will unavoidably come to supplant the device's brushes. Surprisingly, even our Dewalt drills require a touch of assistance to stay kept up and performing ideally. For those of us brandishing the dark and yellow standard of Dewalt control penetrates, this is a general manual for supplanting your brushes, which, I can guarantee, is justified regardless of your while. Brush substitutions are normally genuinely straightforward, they spare you cash, and they keep your instruments performing under the most favorable conditions.
To change the brushes in your Dewalt bore, we'll start with a couple of preparatory and security measures (these things may appear to be clear as crystal, at the same time, in the event that I have mastered anything around here, it is that nothing is plain as day and everything can possibly be overlooked). To start with, in the event that you have the bore's manual, perused it. These are not just a misuse of assets and will contain profitable data about the strategy you are going to go up against. Second, it is critical that you have the right swap brushes for your particular penetrate. as each instrument and each brush is extraordinary, you should have the brushes that are particularly intended for your particular device. In conclusion, it is very essential that you guarantee the apparatus is, for every single concentrated reason, off and completely withdrew. Remove the battery, unplug it, put any "on" catches in the "off" position, et cetera.
After preliminaries and insurances, start by either opening-up the devices lodging or essentially unscrewing the bore's end top (this is just a vault at the back of the device (some portion of the lodging) which will now and again broaden additionally down into the instrument's handle) which will doubtlessly uncover the brushes. In any dismantling procedure however, it is insightful to keep your parts and screws as sorted out as conceivable – anything your evacuate should later be supplanted. On the off chance that you need to open the lodging, expel the highest point of the clamshell and find the device's brushes. They might be somewhat tricky at to start with, maybe covered up by the engine, yet ought to just be at the back of your bore. The brushes, which are little carbon obstructs are squeezed against the penetrate's armature, will have been easily slid into direct sleeves on either side of the bore's engine. On the off chance that you require just expel the end top, the brushes ought to be promptly open.
After uncovering the brushes, deliberately evacuate their brush tops, pull them, the old ones, out of their guide sleeves, and tenderly slide the new brushes in a similar introduction the old ones were expelled. Guarantee the new brush is reaching the armature's commutator and its practically as basic as that. Set up everything back together firmly guaranteeing that all things have discovered their legitimate space. At the point when all is assembled legitimately back, draw in the bore and give it a little test drive; test every ability of the bore – run it in invert or change the riggings, maybe even bore a gap or a screw to understand every one of its capacities. On the off chance that all is in working request, at that point your methodology is finished and you have effectively performed brush-surgery on your energy bore. In the event that, per possibility, the repair does not go so easily, stroll through the technique again to guarantee you haven't committed a fixable error. On the off chance that no oversights come hopping out at you, you should take the bore to a dewalt drill benefit community for a more careful finding.
After all that, it appears to be changing the brushes in a Dewalt bore is a moderately straightforward process, and one that is useful to you in a few distinctive ways. Brush substitutions keep your device performing capably, they spare you the cost of paying another person to do it for you, the cost of putting resources into another penetrate, and it's an extremely basic approach to keep up the solid association with your energy bore that all skilled workers make progress toward.

08/09/2017: Stop worrying and love the bond market
The headlines about fire and fury and escalation and threats and all that has happened the past 24 hours are alarming. No doubt about it. Without discounting the reality of what's going on, allow us to cut through the fear a little bit. Nothing in this economy reacts as viscerally to the news as the markets to. The bond market, in particular, is a refuge in times of uncertainty. And it's telling us to take a deep breath. We'll explain. Then: For the first time in 60 years, the U.S. is set to become a net exporter of natural gas. Now we need to get the infrastructure up to speed. Plus: Go ahead, cut the cord, see if cable companies care.

Looking for Lorca
One of the most famous artists to come out of Granada is Federico García Lorca. A playwright, a poet and theatre director, born in 1898.
Since reading ´La Casa de Bernada Alba´ for A Level Spanish Literature I´ve always been curious about Lorca. This spring I decided to delve into the world of Federico García Lorca and share my findings with you.
Birthplace of Lorca, Fuentevaqueros
The logical place to begin the route was at the Birthplace of Federico García Lorca. This house in Fuentevaqueros where he lived for most of his childhood is just a short drive from Granada. (22kms) This is called the Casa Natal in Spanish.
The visit around the house is at a specific time with a tour guide. As you walk through the home you see its original furnishings. Up in the attic (3rd floor) this was used as a granary, has now been converted into an exhibition area. Each year there are different themes and pieces on show. When I visited March 2016 the play of Doña Rosita was the subject displayed.
From this home, a short walk along the main road you will find the Centro de Estudios Lorquianos. This small exhibition space also has some items on show and is a good place to wait if you have a while until the next tour.
Guided tour timings:
Casa Natal
- Closed on Mondays and Sunday afternoons
- April to June 10am, 11am, 12 noon, 1pm 5pm and 6pm
- July and September 10am, 11am, 12 noon, 1pm and 2pm
- October – March 10am, 11am, 12 noon, 1pm 4pm and 5pm
I would recommend that you arrive 15 minutes before the tour begins.
Address: C/ García Lorca, nº 4 18340 Fuentevaqueros
Centro Federico Garcia Lorca
Back in Granada, in July 2015 the Centro de Federico Garcia Lorca opened in the Plaza Romanilla. (Close to Granada cathedral) This cultural centre aims to promote and educate on the works of Federico García Lorca. It has exhibitions and different events over the year.
The main exhibit which is the manuscripts and documents of Federico García Lorca are due to be kept here. At the moment this archive hasn´t arrived. It is hoped that this will be transferred in 2017. 5000 original manuscripts are expected to complete this cultural centre.
On 8th & 9th of May they have the play Blood wedding on at the auditorium there.
More information about Centro Federico García Lorca here
Huerta de San Vicente
The highlight of my Lorca was the Huerta de San Vicente His father purchased this building in 1925. A summer residence outside the city (now it´s located in the city itself) They lived there until 1936. Declared a public park in 1995 named after the poet ´Parque Federico Garcia Lorca´ It is on Calle Arabial with Calle Virgen Blanca.
The guided tour is done in Spanish, but just ask and the guide will kindly explain in english too. The furniture is original and there are some paintings and photos in the house too. In one of these rooms where Lorca wrote several of his most important works were written here.
To take the guided tour its 3€ for Adults and 1€ for children
- Open Tuesday to Sunday. Closed Mondays
- Open Mornings 9:15am – 2:15pm
- January, February, March, October, November, December.
Afternoons 4:00pm – 7:00pm
- April, May, from June 1st to 14th, September 16th to 30th
Afternoons 5:00pm – 8:00pm
- from June 15th to September 15th
Mornings 9:15am – 2:15pm
Other Notable places
There are several other important places in Granada with references to the poet. Just to name a few the Patio de los Aljibes inside the Alhambra, The Manuel de Falla Museum, Carmen de los Martires and the hotel Alhambra Palace. The hotel was the location where the first competition of Cante Jondo was presented and in 1929 where Lorca premiered his Mariana Pineda play.
Restaurante Chikito
The restaurant opposite Fuente de las Batallas in the city centre previously was known as el Alameda. From 1915-1929 this café where Lorca and his literary friends would meet to recite poetry and socialize. Now a typical Granada restaurant this has a busy tapas bar and dining area. The house special is Rabo del Toro (oxtail)
La Casa de Bernarda Alba
The house of Bernada Alba, which was the setting of one of his most renown works is in Valderrubio. In this town Lorca would spend his summers until 1926. The house museum where he spent his time Museo Garcia Lorca de Valderrubio can be visited from Tuesday to Saturday in the mornings 10am to 2pm. More information: Museo Lorca Valderrubio
The Bernanda Alba home is not open for visits at the moment but maybe open in the future.
Flamenco in Generalife
To keep alive the spirit of Lorca each year in the Generalife a summer open air show is set up. Remembering the Cante Jondo competition in 1922 which Lorca created, the most relevant event in Spain of the time. Nowdays a Flamenco performance is held on summer nights in the gardens of the Alhambra in July and August.
For more details and tickets: Lorca y Granada
Me Vuelves Lorca
In Laroles in the Outdoor theatre built in the Alpujarras. They have a summer programme which includes Lorca too.
For more information about the project: Me Vuelves Lorca
Cortijo del Fraile
The Cortijo del Fraile in Nijar Almeria was an inspiration for the play Blood Wedding. Bodas de Sangre. This building was actually where the real life events took place. This was built by dominican monks but passed to private owners in 1836.
A young woman lived with her father here in the 1920´s. Her father promised her hand in marriage to an agricultual hand, Casimiro. However she was already in love with her cousin, Francisco. They decided to run off together one summer night in July 1928. Francisco came on horseback to take her away, soon after eloping they were found out by the Casimiro´s family. They waited for them at a crossroads with guns. Francisco was shot and died. The bride was badly injured but survived.
To visit the Cortijo del Fraile in the Cabo de Gata area, drive to the town of Los Albaricoques and continue along the road 5 kms.

Purpose/method: The purpose of this research is to investigate how and if football supporters' and non-supporters' attitude towards football clubs is affected when they read about football related events on social media. To research this phenomenon a quantitative method constituting a survey was used to find parallels and to find patterns of the impact on different persons and what situations have the greatest impact on people.
Conclusion: To conclude, this research shows that posts about football related events have a strong impact on the most hardcore supporters but also on people who are not interested in football at all.
Furthermore, negative events such as hooliganism during football matches are one of few incidents which have the greatest impact on people. However, there are incidents that have positive effects on people when they spread on social media as well, for example sport success. The credibility of social media was relative high which in turn leads to more people being affected of what they read since they believe that what they read is also true.
Contribution: The practical contribution of this essay is to help Swedish football clubs in their work with social media and to understand the impact of social media on their club. In addition the research will guide clubs on which details are most important to work with to build a good relationship with supporters and possible supporters on social media. The theoretical contribution is to get a deeper understanding of how the attitude of supporters and non-supporters can be affected when they read different news on social media.

Although I don't finish for Christmas until Thursday this is likely to be the last blog of the year so I do want to wish everybody Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Having said that, it will be a very sombre post as we reflect on yesterday's tragic events in Berlin. Our first reaction is always our sympathy for the victims, and for the families and friends of the deceased. We see ourselves in their city and our hearts go out to the whole of the city of Berlin. And we think about who is responsible for this indiscriminate slaughter and why?
I have no doubt that this barbaric and senseless act of terrorism will be associated in the eyes of many, in my view totally wrongly, with immigration, with refugees, with asylum seekers. Late in 2015 I attended the Eurocities AGM held in Malmö and Copenhagen which included a fascinating session on refugees. In September that year Berlin had received 6,000 refugees a week, more than the UK was planning to take in five years. As we have seen across Europe, acts of terrorist violence are as likely if not more likely to be committed by members of the indigenous population as they are by immigrants, and I hope right-wing populist politics do not deter Germany from showing the same compassion in the future to those fleeing the horrors of war and starvation as they have in the past. Wish we matched them.
Closer to home, but still on a sombre theme, work in the Town Hall is dominated by putting together our 2017-20 budget. Having received the provisional financial settlement last week, the Executive is now in the middle of preparing a draft budget for consultation and scrutiny in the new year. We are still on schedule to publish our draft proposals on January 3rd, hopefully at the same time demonstrating that we have been listening to the consultation that has already taken place. If you haven't taken part in the budget consultation yet, there is still plenty of time before the Executive makes its final recommendations in February, and Council makes its budget decisions in March.

Mark Twain born in 1835 and died in 1910 was seen by many as the father of American literature with his many publications. The "A True Story, Repeated Word for Word as I Heard It" was one of his best which was published in The Atlantic Monthly in the November issue in the year 1874. This story was about sorrow, heartbreak, and experiences of the life during the Civil War period. His experience in writing made him come up with this master piece that expressed realism at its best. It gives an account of the occurrence of this period and though it may be an imagination it clearly depicts and paints the picture in to the readers mind hence giving him/her the reality of this period.
The story talks about a sixty year old servant "Aunt Rachel" who is ever cheerful, hearty soul, strong, and well built and a Misto C, who unintentionally angers Aunt Rachel by asking the question "Aunt Rachel, how is it that you've lived sixty years and never had any trouble?" this questions awakens memories in Aunt Rachel about her family all sold to slavery, this makes her lament the incident but she has to face the reality of life (Paine, p.181). After the war Aunt Rachel works as cook and serves a group of union army officers in North Carolina, and this is where she re-unites with her son by seeing a familiar face of one of the soldiers.
She is so happy that she begins to praise the Lord, she says "Lord God ob heaven" and thus she gets to answer her ironic question that the story is based on "Oh, no, Misto C----, I hain't had no trouble. An' no joy" (Twain, p.29) Living in a world where fate is all it takes to survive but people find solace in religion as a means to an end can best suit this tale. This paper expresses the theme of realism considering consider regionalism and naturalism as expressed by Mark Twain (Paine, p.181).
The context happens at summer where Aunt Rachel a servant at Misto C house is asked a question that makes her reflect on the past and the present in context to life and reality. Twain describes a realistic situation where the character's desires are linked to what s/he thinks about "reality". Aunt Rachel desires a perfect family that is full of love and that encompasses a husband and children as she had earlier before slavery, but this has all been wiped out by reality that has seen them subjected to slavery due to them being black. She vividly recalls how her children were captured and chained at an auction and sold as slaves as she watched. She gets to hug her child Henry as he is being auctioned and they both desire to be together where she promises to work to buy his freedom.
As she continues with her story she wishes to see her Henry and desires for him to have run away from slavery so that she can see him. She also desires to be treated with dignity and respect as she says what her mother taught her and repeats it "'I want you niggers to understand' dat I wasn't bawn in de mash to be fool' by trash! I's one o' de ole Blue Hen's Chickens, I is!' an' den she clar' dat kitchen an' bandage' up de chile herse'f. So I says dat word, too, when I's riled." (Twain, p.6). The world rather treats her as a slave and a fool just to be a servant that works in low jobs.
Reality has treated differently from their expectations and they only hope on the Lord to save them from their predicament. Aunt Rachel keeps on asking the Lord to have her dreams come true especially that of seeing her son. The desires of her heart have all been washed away by reality and she has to rely on religion to get hope to live.
The characters imagine reality as a hindrance to their desires where reality robs them off the right too achieve their dreams and have a fulfilling life. This is so because all whatever they desire have been wiped out by reality and they are left to experience a different bitter side that is so hard to cope with. They have to accept the reality of being slaves a situation which is not desirable to anyone. As Aunt Rachel describes in her account ""Dey put chains on us an' put us on a stan' as high as dis po'ch, -- twenty foot high, -- an' all de people stood aroun', crowds an' crowds. An' dey 'd come up dah an' look at us all roun', an' squeeze our arm, an' make us git up an' walk, an' den say, 'Dis one too ole,' or 'Dis one lame,' or 'Dis one don't 'mount to much.' An' dey sole my ole man, an' took him away, an' dey begin to sell my chil'en an' take dem away, an' I begin to cry;" (Twain, p.10) this makes her weep since reality is treating her unfairly and inhumanely.
Before the family is auctioned they are tortured due their resistance where they are arm twisted and forced to move in chains. She laments over her being bought by man and made a cook in his house. Unfortunately this is the reality of life they have to face before they meet each other again. The family is made to stay apart for many years without contact wit each other a situation that makes Aunt Rachel think that they are all dead. She gets separated from Henry for thirteen years which is quite long for mother and son.
She clearly states that the thirteen years have not been short and her son must have already grown up to be a great man if at all he is alive. Although she has never thought of her son alive since the last time they say each other was when he was a small boy (Twain, p.16) It was a hell on earth to go through such an experience.
Twain, (p.18) in this article clearly describes the situation of fate that describes the plight of the African American woman during the civil war and the ill treatment she was exposed to. The author paints reality as a difficult part of life to cope with since he portrays the ugly side of life but gives a remedy of the problems to have faith and hope. This concept gives regionalism and naturalism a chance in the life of individual who is encouraged to keep on hoping for a better life. This however does not deter Aunt Rachel the quest to live as she live cheerful and colored in her life and duties. In a quest to find a new life one may forget the past and continue focusing on the future but the past still haunts back. This can be seen when the question is posed to Aunt Rachel where she suddenly changes and begins to open up her suffering that has caused her so much pain and grieve all of her life. Aunt Rachel seems to have been suffering which is part of life's reality and is inevitable. Her suffering in silence brings out the concept of naturalism in that people may naturally opt to ignore the suffering of life and continue on but the bottom line is that we are all natural and wounds will be unveiled in future once questions are asked.
Aunt Rachel's experience acts as an example where she goes through unbearable pain of loosing all she got and the most valuable thing in her life "her family" and also looses her freedom by being a slave but later regains them. The author does not portray life as a perfect system but a road full of so many bumps that need to be overcome through hope.
Life never becomes perfect in view of the fact that Twain does not describe the reunion of the mother and son in a perfect condition but rather in a situation where they are both free but the conditions are still harsh. They both meet when Henry is a soldier and herself as a cook for the army. Here one can say that fate has brought them together to celebrate and take life as a blessing as they thank God for their reunion; this makes Aunt Rachel confused as she confesses that "Oh, no, Misto C--, I hadn't had no trouble. An' no joy!" (Twain, p.29) which means she doesn't know whether she is troubles or just has no joy.

In this article, I will give you several options that you can use in keeping SC4 running as smoothly as possible...
General Overview
-- Keep your plugins folder organized
-- Kill processes before running your game
-- Disable disturbing programs
Keep your plugins folder organized
This is a very common method of use by several SC4 gamers... The example I will provide below is just give you an idea on how to structure your plugin folder using several trees/maps... To organize your plugin folder, just move everything to a temporary folder anywhere on your system. SimCity has 2 plugins folder in use:
- My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins
- Program Files/SimCity 4/ Plugins
Now, we can use various methods on how to organize your folder, but it's all up to you on how to do this... I will give the example that I use. It is very easy to understand and with this way you will find the files you are looking for very fast...
I use only the "My Documents" folder. The "program files" folder is out of use by me... because it is the secondary folder used by SimCity.
Here's my structured example of the folder:
=>Simcity 4/Plugins
- Mods
- Lots
- Props
As you can see, I have divided the map in three general maps, mods, lots, and props...
With this you can easily divide it into different categories. Now lets go on further, we'll take the Lots map now for example:
=>Simcity 4/Plugins/Lots
- Andreas
- Apathyninja
- Brenda_xne
- Buddybud
Now lets take the first one out of the lots maps to see what to do next:
=>Simcity 4/Plugins/Lots/ADC
- Rail Signal Bridge
As you see, I also made another submap with the name of the lot itself! With this you now always know the name of the lot...
This method is very useful if you are a BAT or lot builder, because you always get to know the name of the author and the name of the lot itself, which will result in finding a certain lot or BAT for editing faster ...
Now when you've down all this by hand, and the next time you download something from the STEX, you may come across the auto installers (also known as .exe or executable files) that are used by certain authors. You only have to point out where it has to install those files if you use this sorting files system...
Kill processes before running your game
Before you start running your game, it can be wise to kill certain processes which are running in the background. This way you save valuable memory that Simcity can use during gameplay...
I will explain how to approach this...
First, you'll need to press CTRL + ALT + DELETE just once! Don't press it more than once, because that will trigger an action which will result that your computer rebooting. And we don't want to do that!
When you've pressed those keys I just mentioned, a small popup window will appear with several Tabs... It's called Windows Task Manager. Click on the Processes Tab page... In this Tab you'll see several processes that are running in the background of Windows... Below I've provided a small list of processes that may not or can not be killed because they are essential for Windows itself... You may also notice that certain processes cannot be killed for what ever the reason may be. But that's not crucial for our goal, so leave those alone...
- Csrss.exe
- Explorer.exe
- Internat.exe
- Lsass.exe
- Mstask.exe
- Smss.exe
- Spoolsv.exe
- Svchost.exe
- Services.exe
- System.exe
- System Idle Process
- Taskmgr.exe
- Winlogon.exe
- Winmgmt.exe
Disable disturbing programs
As you may know, certain programs can cause conflicts while running a game or gives an annoying side effect to the game. What I recommend is that you kill/shutdown the programs which are not needed when you run a game. Below I've stated some programs which can cause conflicts with SC4... Please note: not all programs are listed, only the ones that I can think off...
- Screensavers These are very annoying while playing a game!
- Internet Connection Kill your Internet connection(s) while running SC4, because you won't need it! (this is not the case when you're on a LAN connection)
- Antivirus Software These are very memory consuming while running a game!
- MSN Messenger Don't you hate it when someone is talking to you while playing a game?! ;-)
- Firewall Software These are very memory consuming while running a game! (see also Internet connection!)
I think you get my point with all of this: the more programs you shut down, the better. It's just to give you more fun gameplay experience and it will give you more memory to play with, because we all know that SimCity 4 is very memory consuming!
Now, If this article raises any questions you can contact me anytime by sending me a Private Message.
Also, feel free to PM STomnibus for questions regarding this article.

Kanika: Poet. Lover of Words. One who tells the stories of the mundane and inanimate. Bearer of Light, Water, and Sky.
March 2018
Back to Blog
I Am Not a Prince Enthusiast
but that does not stop the complete shock and utter disbelief that I am feeling. I had to stop driving. My destination now a question mark. My car radio blasted out "I only wanted to see you laughing in the Purple Rain" and, well, I could not stop crying. Even though I am not a Prince enthusiast, I am a lover of raw authentic music and I acknowledge and respect creative genius.
Prince Rogers Nelson was a creative genius. Damn. Speaking of him in past tense seems blasphemous. When you're so ingrained in the Universe, could you ever really die? Do we truly believe that energy is neither created or destroyed?
What about the music? Who is going to carry us without a mindless repetitive hook, a ratchet dance move or lyrics so dangerously elementary that an actual 5 year old could write better? I'm so damn worried about the music.
Still, it seems that even in death, Prince has rebelled yet again. He has shown us all a thing or two about Freedom. Left us here to figure this out for ourselves. Are we slaves trapped inside a machine that wants us to produce for their gain? Will we change our names in the loudest silent protest ever known to man? How will we engage in rage? Do we even know how to use our voice to bring about constructive change?
I understand that this blog must be an incoherent mess of thoughts. Try to understand.
I am not a Prince enthusiast but I am completely heartbroken.

A busy social life does boost ones lifespan (Re-Issue)June 1st, 2008 - 8:43 pm ICT by admin
London, June 1 (ANI): Forget cutting on the calories or exercising, if it's longevity youre trying to nab, then you might want to consider spending more time with members of the younger generation, at least thats what a new study suggests.
It is often said that humans and other vertebrates live longer if they have more social interactions, and now this has been verified in fruit flies.
Chun-Fang Wu and Hongyu Ruan at the University of Iowa in Iowa City studied fruit flies with a genetic mutation that reduces their lifespan by interfering with an enzyme that mops up dangerous free radicals.
In age-related diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in humans, the same enzyme is implicated.
Mutant flies that shared a home with younger flies, or non-mutants, lived longer and were more mobile than those sharing a home with similar-aged flies. They were also more resistant to the effects of extreme physical exertion, heat and oxidative stress.
Impairing the movement or activity of younger flies reduced this effect, suggesting that social interaction with the younger flies through courtship, aggression, or grooming, plays a key role in increasing the lifespan of the older flies.
Social activity is the key, New Scientists quoted Wu, as saying.
Keeping the flies in the dark, so they could not see each other, also reduced the effect.
"This study shows that the lifespan of these flies is plastic and can be conditioned by social interactions, corroborating the notion that human patients of certain age-dependant neurological diseases may be benefited by an appropriate social environment," Wu said.
The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (ANI)
