Bruce Whiting twirled his wedding band around his finger, thinking about comments from the chat room: Sometimes a guy just needs to get it out of his system. One and done. It's normal. He smirked. He couldn't write an anonymous query and leave it in cyberspace, yet here he was. He continued to twirl his ring, a nervous habit his wife found endearing. It was the smallest male-sized ring the jewelry store sold. The sales woman had asked if he wanted to look at women's bands, said men did it all the time. He told her no, clenching his fist to hide his long, slender fingers.
"What can I get you?" the bartender asked. He had been doing prep work—cutting lemons and limes, spooning out cherries and olives and cocktail onions—and hadn't noticed Bruce sitting quietly at Minneapolis's Grand Hotel bar.
"A good scotch. An expensive scotch," Bruce said, thinking of his wife sitting on their bed back in Ohio, probably checking her temperature to see if she was ovulating.
The bartender looked over Bruce's business attire and nodded. "A pre-celebratory scotch coming up." He reached up three shelves and grabbed Macallan 25. He poured it neat and slid it forward. Bruce had never had an expensive scotch, but he'd always been curious about the difference in taste compared to a Glenlivit or a Dewars. It tasted the same at first. Then its smoothness pushed down his throat, warming him, offering no biting aftertaste. The bartender acknowledged the pleasant surprise on Bruce's face with a thumbs-up. He took another sip. It was just as smooth and powerful. He had assumed overpriced scotch was just a status thing, a way to show a portfolio without exchanging routing numbers, a pricey pretention, but it was so much more.
"Want to see a menu?" the bartender asked a bit later.
"I'm waiting for someone, but I'll take one more of these." Bruce tapped the glass, getting comfortable on the barstool. It was white leather with a hollow space in the middle of the back, just big enough to fit a fist through it. As the bartender turned to pour the drink, Bruce unfolded a newspaper clipping from his suit pocket. Let Chad Fix You was in bold next to the picture of a shirtless, blonde man. A trail of hair under his belly button—where the photo was cropped—pointed towards his crotch. His chin dipped, showing a strong, angular jaw, accentuating his cheekbones. Bruce slid the ad back into his pocket and looked around as if he were a spy waiting for his mark.
After the last negative pregnancy test, his wife had cried and cried and told him life wouldn't make sense without a baby. The very next day, he called Chad from the ad. He answered after five rings. His voice was low and hoarse, like he was just waking up. He coughed up phlegm before asking for Bruce's name. "Todd," Bruce said. Todd was an office intern. Once at Karaoke happy hour, Todd sang "Sex Bomb" by Tom Jones. His playful pelvic thrusts and his white-toothed, full-lipped smile endangered Bruce's practiced reticence as Todd's hips rotated and bated him. Bruce wanted to throw Todd down on the small stage, obliterating all social civility, growl in his ear, and rage behind him until he found an aggressive calm. "So what do you like?" Chad asked. Bruce didn't know how to answer. He'd only kissed a man once, and he found it more haunting than pleasurable. After a long silence, Chad answered for him.
The bartender put another Macallan 25 in front of him.
"How much is it?"
"Does it matter?"
"I guess not," Bruce said, taking a sip. "Mind if I close out? If my friend doesn't show, this will be my last drink." He looked at the entrance.
The bartender left the bill in an empty shot glass. The Macallans were fifty bucks each. Bruce slid six twenties under the shot glass and moved across the room to a couch that faced the doorway. He twirled his wedding band as a group of attractive twenty-somethings on the opposite end of the room laughed and hollered and laughed some more. They appeared too young to be in a place with these prices: Family money? Credit card debt? Trust funds? Bruce guessed. He shifted his weight. Something in the couch seemed to be sticking in his back. Above him, an androgynous face with donkey-like ears protruding through curly, sculpted hair stared at him. If he left now, he could still catch a flight back home. Karen would hug him and light scented candles and put on sexy lingerie. She'd kiss his neck. She'd do that thing he liked to get him to perform as if he were some sort of machine only she knew how to operate.
"Todd, yeah?"
Chad stood before Bruce. He was much shorter than Bruce imagined. Maybe 5'8'' with cowboy boots. Bruce was 6'2'' without shoes. Chad hadn't shaved in a few days. His facial hair matched his salt and pepper chest hair that popped from under his wrinkled black V-neck. His hair was dark, not blonde at all, with bad highlights. He must have been in his early forties. He rubbed his chin as he looked around the bar. Stubble scraped against his knuckles.
"You're Todd, yeah? No one else is wearing a solid red tie." He gave two violent sniffs. Bruce said nothing, and Chad took his silence as an admission. "I'm Chad. You drink beer? Yeah?"
Chad's jeans were faded, but not a stylish faded, more of a "these are the only jeans I own" faded. A back pocket was missing. His legs looked tight and muscular in his compact form. A brown belt clashed with the black tee but matched his leather cowboy boots. His arms were slender, like wire, no mass, but toned from his natural musculature, which was easy to see as he reached towards the bar. Why wasn't he wearing a coat? After all, it was late December. He held his fingers up like a peace sign and was given two pints. Chad put a dark lager in front of Bruce and took a gulp from his glass.
"Barkeep says that you closed your tab, so that'll be twenty bucks, yeah?"
He sat down across from Bruce and smiled like one might do to be polite on public transportation. Bruce twirled his wedding band and said that he only had a fifty. Chad smirked and told him to consider it a down payment.
"You're a big one," Chad said. He waved his hand dramatically in front of Bruce like a magician before the big reveal. "Let me guess. You played football. Star athlete. Yeah? Testosterone fueled existence kinda trapped you into thinking you're something that you're not? That it? Yeah?"
"You try to psychoanalyze all your…" Bruce stopped himself before he said clients and looked at the green exit sign on the other side of the room.
Chad smiled. His teeth were sharp and yellowish. "I see all kinds," Chad said, crossing his leg, showing the heel of his boot to be three inches. "This is why I picked my slogan. Part of you is broken. I will fix that part. Guar-un-teed!" He flashed a grin.
Bruce tried not to think about how many times Chad had done this. "So, um, Chad, tell me something about yourself." Bruce took a sip of his beer and winced. It wasn't something he would've ordered.
Chad balanced his elbows on his open legs, the foam of his beer hugging the rim. "Does it matter?"
"Sure," Bruce said, knowing it didn't. "Sure it does."
Chad laughed and put his beer down. "Okay, big boy. Here goes." He clapped, rolled up his sleeves and leaned forward, never losing eye contact with Bruce. "I'm a college dropout, even though I had an academic scholarship to Central Michigan. Go Chippewas! My dad has a patent on a piece of the artificial heart. My mom taught Sunday Bible study. My brother was killed in Iraq—first war, not the second—I prefer McDonald's coffee to any a café in Paris, and my favorite movie is The Fox and the Hound."
"Is any of that true?" Bruce said.
Chad slapped his thigh then brought his hands together with one loud clap.
"Got me a mom and a pop. They could have done those things. And my brother could be dead in Iraq. Haven't talked to any of them in decades. They were Republicans."
"Nope. Just talked to my mom this morning. She's raising money for Hilary Clinton. Plus, sometimes she needs help with the New York Times crossword puzzle. I'm good with words." Chad sipped his beer, never taking his eyes off of Bruce, never blinking. "What is it you do wearing a suit like that? Wait! Wait-a-sec-wait-a-sec-wait-a-sec. Let me guess. A lawyer. Private sector. I'm guessing…probate."
"I'm an efficiency expert. I help companies run more smoothly."
"You fire people. I can dig it." He smiled proudly as he poured the rest of his beer down his throat. He headed to the bar. He did a shot of something and came back with a fresh beer. His snout stuck in the foam as he slurped.
"What's her name?" he asked, eyes on Bruce's fingers twirling his wedding band.
Chad clapped his hands and brought his right hand to his mouth as if he were holding a microphone. "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. With four hungry children and a crop in the field." Chad stood and continued to belt out a terrible version of Kenny Rogers' song as if he'd been waiting for his cue. The bartender looked over, and after seeing that Chad was the friend Bruce had been waiting for, smiled. Bruce sank down in his seat. He felt the patrons' judgmental stares, waiting for him to exhibit all those clichés portrayed in a terrible network sitcom—which wasn't any different than the guessing stares of suburbia—or as Bruce had read it referred to in the chat room—a dormant wasps nest.
"You suck," someone yelled.
"You know I do," Chad yelled back, winking at Bruce. "God damn! I love me some Kenny Rogers. So, how long you been married, Toddy?"
Bruce twirled his ring. Chad moved over and sat down next to him. He snorted as he adjusted himself. Bruce couldn't help but notice the bulge in his pants, thinking it had to be a sock or some prop.
"I love her," Bruce said. "That's all you need to know."
Chad smiled. The bar buzzed with the rhythm of a static radio. Then the twenty-somethings shared a guttural laugh. Chad smirked in their direction and raised his glass. "To the mysteries of the night." He chugged what was left of Bruce's beer and took the empty glasses to the bar. He came back with shots. "Since when did Southern Comfort ever let anyone down?" He said and took the shot. Bruce followed his lead, wanting to cough after swallowing, feeling a burn in his throat as water crept into his eyes.
"Did you get a room?" Chad asked.
Bruce nodded as if a policeman just asked him if he knew how fast he was going.
"Tell me."
"Go there. Order a bottle of wine or champagne or whatever. I do it all." He winked and made a "click-click" sound with his mouth before disappearing as quickly as he appeared. Bruce stood and was eye to eye with the donkey-eared bust. The face seemed angular now, sharp in its features, and he could've sworn, just before he moved towards the exit, that its eyes moved, opening even wider, followed by a wink.
AFTER ORDERING ROOM SERVICE, Bruce sat on a light blue loveseat facing the gas fireplace in the living room of the suite. The coffee table had a gold finish with carvings along its legs. It looked like an artifact from a time when its precision was requested by a king, but here, now, it was just a gaudy addition to an overpriced hotel room ready to witness an act of prostitution.
Suddenly, his suit felt heavy, as if it were one of those lead vests they strapped on you at the dentist before x-rays. Sucking on the peppermint he'd found on his pillow, he stripped to his boxer-briefs. He studied himself in the full-length, oak-trimmed mirror. Weird patches of hair sprouted all over, as if his testosterone dispersed unevenly, colonizing in random spots: his back, his shoulders, the back part of his upper left arm. His nipples were a bright pink and too large for his chest. His arms and legs hadn't filled out with the rest of him over time, making them look scrawny, as if they were on the wrong body. Maybe a good winter tan would fix everything. He'd schedule something when he got home. He put on the white terrycloth complimentary robe. It smelled like a hospital. Suddenly, he slipped off his white boxer-briefs and tossed them on top of his suit, which he had placed carefully over the brown leather couch.
He looked down to the street where people were walking and talking and panhandling and passing out flyers and fighting traffic. He wondered if anyone could see him standing in front of a lighted window at night. Back home, Bruce had set a telescope in the bedroom that had been designated as the nursery. Karen didn't go in there after they lost the baby; she refused. A few decorations still lingered on the walls, making it look abandoned. Sometimes, at night, after Karen's sadness had forced her to sleep, Bruce slipped into the nursery and watched the neighbor—some college kid—live his life.
Room service brought a bottle of Shiraz. Bruce opened it to let it breathe. He tried not to think about Chad. He read the headlines of the Columbus Dispatch on his phone: new red light camera at another intersection, house in Dublin burnt down—foul play suspected—a woman robbed in the Short North at knife point, gas prices soared to a record high, the 670 exchange construction behind schedule, Columbus school district being investigated for student attendance tampering. They were all recycled or on-going stories. The weather did say there was a winter storm front approaching, a possibility of six to eight inches. He wondered if it would delay his flight.
The knock was playful like it was a code they'd created long ago. Bruce looked into the mirror one last time and ran his hands through his hair. Before answering the door, he retied the robe with a double loop and cinched it tight.
Bubble gum popped as Chad's jaw tore away at it. He smiled as he passed Bruce, reeking of cigarette smoke and Hubba-Bubba. His arms were red. He dropped a brown bag on the bed and scanned the room.
"I'm impressed, Toddy. You live good."
"What's in the bag?"
"Props," he said, and blew a bubble. It exploded over his face. He peeled it off like it was some sort of skin, then dangled it over his mouth, his tongue flicking it as it entered. He clapped his hands together as he looked over the décor of the room.
"Things certainly seem to be inevitable, so, time for the rules, yeah?" Chad said. "Rule number one: I'll fuck you in the ass, but you can't fuck me in the ass. The opposite goes for licking it. Ooo. Wine." He poured himself a glass, swirled it, then sniffed it as if he were Prince William dressed as Urban Cowboy. He licked his lips, grinning like he'd just solved a puzzle. "Like the faintest hint of blueberry in there, yeah?" Chad reached for Bruce, but Bruce circled around the coffee table, asking if they could just talk for a bit. Chad eyed Bruce's suit folded over the light blue love seat in the corner. He picked up Bruce's balled-up underwear and inspected the tag.
"I'm a Hanes man too." He checked his watch. "Talk? Sure, sure, we can talk for a bit."
"Where are you from?" Bruce asked.
"Where do you want me to be from?" Chad said, pulling back the red satin draperies. He waved like he was part of a parade. He turned around and took a sip of wine. "Usually, you guys have a thing, something you've already figured out for me." He cupped his mouth like he was telling a secret. "Actually makes things easier," he whispered. "Cancels out all that middle school nervous shit, yeah? So. Todd. Toddy. Mr. Todd. Where do you want me to be from?"
"I don't know."
Chad laughed as he rubbed his crotch. Bruce was worried it itched him.
"Listen, sweetheart, you're not my only appointment tonight. I mean, you're really cute and all, but Chad's got regulars to attend to, so, can we expedite this transaction, please? Then we can get you back home to Lucille, and you can take your kid to his soccer game, or whatever it is you do in suburbia, yeah?"
Chad set the wine glass on the table beside the couch, but it wasn't balanced, and it tumbled onto the suit. The dark red bled into the wool and splattered over Bruce's white JoS A. Bank dress shirt.
"My suit!" Bruce brushed past Chad. He held up the suit to inspect the damage. Furious, he began to pat it down with the bottom of his robe, turning it red as well.
"It's just a suit, bro."
Chad's indifference stirred something in Bruce. He charged past Chad, trying not to notice the firmness of his body. He came back with a wet towel.
"Pat it, Toddy. Just pat it. Rubbing it will just make it worse."
"What do you know?" he said, aware of the dramatic tension in his voice.
"Here," Chad said, putting his hand over Bruce's. "Just pat it." His calloused, hairy hand brought Bruce's aggressive movement to a rhythmic bounce. His fingers were big for his size, much stronger and thicker than Bruce's. He probably couldn't even get Bruce's wedding band on the pinky. Bruce turned, smelling Hubba-Bubba and menthol. Chad's cracked lips were surprisingly soft.
"What's wrong? Wasn't that nice?" Chad asked, his voice higher now, softer.
"Sure. Yeah. I guess." Bruce refilled both wine glasses. "You hot?" He went to the thermostat. He could feel Chad approaching from behind. Something hit the floor. Chad's arms wrapped around Bruce's torso, just like Karen's did in the morning when he made her breakfast. Bruce walked forward, just within reach.
"Is this your game? Playing hard to get? I like it. It's innocent, yeah? Don't get a lot of you. Usually someone's balls deep by now."
Bruce laughed. It sounded forced, but it wasn't. "I've never done this before."
"You're a fag, yeah?"
"I don't know."
"You have sex with women?"
"Only my wife."
"Maybe you're bi. Maybe you're just a modern renaissance man. My little Shakesqueer." Chad stepped closer to Bruce. "Listen," Chad said, "if it helps, I ain't no butt pirate. Not really. Always preferred women. Get as lonely as I get, you learn to love everybody, and physical love is the most real love there is." He laughed then drank his wine like a beer. "Toddy, let's just do a test. Just a little testy-test. Yeah?"
"Okay." For some reason, Bruce thought of his first grade teacher holding his hand, leading him out to recess.
Chad put Bruce's hand on his bare chest. His hair moved between Bruce's fingers. It was soft. He guided Bruce's hand down, past his belt, over the teeth of his zipper. He cupped it under his crotch and Bruce massaged him. He felt him under the jeans. He was big. Bigger than Bruce. Chad's hand wrapped around Bruce's wrist, guiding him down. A new understanding swelled inside him, ready to burst.
BRUCE WIPED THE FOG from the bathroom mirror. Crows' feet still surrounded his blue eyes. A dimple still in his chin. His jaw still square. His eyebrows still bushy and dark. His hairline the same as it was at eighteen.
Chad was gone. The only evidence he had been there was the brown bag, but there was nothing in it. He winced at the ruffling sound of the bag as he rolled it up and put it in the trashcan. He traded his towel for flannel pajama bottoms and pulled the sheets on the bed back. He grabbed his cell phone, but assumed Karen was asleep, and put the phone on the nightstand. He spun his wedding band as he lay on his right facing the wall. Pings of ice hit the window. He listened to it scrape the glass, making a splintering sound, as if the window would crack. He thought about comments in the chat room then looked at the loveseat where he had been with Chad only an hour ago. He got the same feeling he got when he watched an old home movie, but he didn't remember acting the scene. He turned away from the loveseat. Ice continued to skip against the window. He clenched his left fist and closed his eyes and imagined the promised snowfall and how, when he returned home, everything would be blanketed in white.

SHEE – Self-deployable Habitat for Extreme Environments
EU – FP 7 in the frame of Space, Collaborative ProjectConsortium
International Space University, France; LIQUIFER Systems Group GmbH, Austria; Space Applications Services N.V., Belgium; Institute of Technology, University of Tartu, Estonia; Compagnie Maritime D'Expertises S.A., France; Sobriety s.r.o., Czech Republic; Space Innovations, v.o.s., Czech RepublicLSG team
Barbara Imhof, Waltraut Hoheneder, Valentin Eder, Stephen Ransom, René Waclavicek, Damjan Minovsky, Lutz Richter
The goal of the SHEE project (Self-deployable Habitat for Extreme Environments) is to develop a planetary habitat test-bed for terrestrial analogue simulations. The SHEE habitat will provide significant background for further development and the evolution of extra-terrestrial habitable structures.
To integrate human labour into construction on the lunar or Martian surface is very risky, complex and costly. To restrict human involvement, it is imperative to plan for construction methods which are autonomous. Self-deployable, autonomous habitats are especially important in extreme environments that lack infrastructure and heavy machinery. It is more cost effective and safer to design habitats that construct themselves. SHEE provides a feasible solution for near term human space exploration of this nature.
The main objective of the SHEE project is the exploration of an effective integration of architecture and robotics for space applications. SHEE is envisioned as a hybrid structure composed of inflatable, rigid and robotic components. This project works towards producing an example of a functional habitat, ready for testing and to be further developed in response to the tests.
The results of the SHEE project will be applicable in both space and terrestrial conditions, such as in extreme environments on earth or during disaster mitigation. This project will also draw attention to the possibility of using space technologies and space design methods in terrestrial domains and in the development of environmentally-friendly architectures.

Leaders in monolith chromatography
CIM® QA-0.34 mL is a shallow, disk-shaped monolith with a column volume of 0.34 mL. It is predominantly suitable for initial screening and method development. The CIM® QA-0.34 mL disk needs to be inserted into a housing and is immediately ready for use. QA (quaternary amine) is a strong anion exchange group, fully charged between pH 2-13. It selectively binds molecules with a predominant negative charge over a working pH range of 2-13. QA is a versatile chemistry and has proven to be excellent for:
Due to the difference in chemistry of QA (strong anion exchanger) and DEAE (weak anion exchanger), selectivities for a certain molecule are different.

A day in the life of a Mid-West Mom of soon to be young men! Trust me- I've always got "stuff" going on- After all, it's all in a Mom's day, right?
Friday, December 25, 2009
OK~ Santa came and everyone is happy! Garrett asked me if he could sit in the "whisk?" I looked at him and said, "The What?" He then said, "Can I sit here?" He was referring to the wicker chair that has been relocated since my Christmas tree arose from storage! BTW- How long do you think my tree will be up? It remained in storage an awful long time! Who knows, this Mom may have this tree up through Valentine's Day! After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?
5 comments:
Merry Christmas! We put our tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving. It's about time to pack it up for us!ReplyDelete
No worse than my son complaining about all the 'asspertisements' on the radio the other day...lol. We have a new tradition in the last few years, we keep the tree up until epiphany...usually a week into January.ReplyDelete
My tree might stay up a little longer this year, I didn't get it out as early because I had major surgery in Iowa City Nov. 17 and came home 2 days before Thanksgiving. I was blessed with great doctors and God has blessed me with health. Cancer was found in Sept., they removed everything that had cancer and will only have to do sandostatin injections once every 3 weeks for the rest of my life, no chemo. So every day has been Christmas to me since then and will continue to be for the rest of my life. I am grateful it turned out like it did.ReplyDelete
Hey Sara - thanks for visiting my little blog. Man your boys are tall! My kids are tall too - daughter is 6'3", son is 6'2". So, like you, I look short against them even though I'm 5'10".ReplyDelete
Keep the tree up all year long! Decorate it seasonally! Easter eggs in April, flags for Independence Day, pumpkins for Thanksgiving. Whatever works!
What a nice looking family!ReplyDelete

Settler's Cabin Blue Loop Trail is a 1.8 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Oakdale, Pennsylvania that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from April until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
Easy trail, more suited for mountain biking.
Nice casual trail for a walking/jogging, or a short mountain bike ride. Not sure its quite 1.8 miles, but its very hard to tell where the trail goes after it leaves the woods near the tennis courts. If you are walking with small kids, I'd keep any eye on them for the first few hundred feet from the trailhead as you go down hill -- there are lots of exposed tree roots that anyone could easily trip on if they were careless or took a misstep.
Super easy for beginners but the blazes were either non existent or difficult to find. There are four trails on this location so it can be confusing if you're not familiar with this area. The waterfall was nice and there's a bench to rest at.
Very humid, but peaceful. Kind of frightening due to being alone.

|Re: 10.3 Concern: Need to make DBO restrictions [Derby-2264] optional at upgrade
|Tue, 29 May 2007 15:57:03 GMT
Hi, Stanley Bradbury <firstname.lastname@example.com> writes: > I feel strongly that the restrictions implemented by DERBY-2264 must > be tied to sqlAuthorization (or a new property of it's own) being > turned on. The restrictions need to be optional at upgrade otherwise I understand your concerns. I addressed the upgrade issue several times in the discussion of this issue, but felt the community preferred the semantics which are currently implemented, landing on the side of a sensible secure-by-default behavior. Options: - label this a major release (11.0), lowering the expectancy for a painless upgrade with users. - postpose the 10.3 release and change the semantics to something else (tie enforcement to sqlAuthorization, introduce new property to turn this checking off (default on) or vice versa) - release it as it stands, but make a follow-up release with some knob to allow users to disable it; making sure to call this out in release notes. Note: since hard upgrade is among the operations restricted, users would likely (although not necessarily) get some hint of the issue early on ;) - pull the feature from 10.3 (I'd love to avoid that ;) - others? We need to decide pretty quick; this is a bit late in the game.. What say others?

Why SubUrban
SubUrban was created by 5 people from the Northern Suburbs of Wellington in early 2015.
We saw how people were choosing more and more to work from their homes on small businesses, and employers were seeing the value of remote working.
The internet had given a lot of suburbanites the freedom to live local and work local.
We knew that people were doing amazing things in our suburbs, and were working on cool inspiring projects. But where were they? and what was it like working alone from home?
Our research found that there were thousands of people with home as their workplace and a lot of them they were finding the shift to working alone isolating and de-motivating. They wanted to connect with others, have separation from work and home and be part of a local enterprise community. Some people were also keen to support others and contribute to the wider suburban community.
We founded SubUrban to create local places for suburban people to work, connect with each other and learn – and to celebrate the wonderful diversity of people, and enterprise that is happening in our suburbs.
We wanted to create and enable vibrant enterprising communities from these isolated workers and through this build local resilience that was proudly suburban.

One thing that has not been mentioned - is the weakest link in any Ethernet installation - The cable itself!!
My first check in any install is that the cable is working - without a bespoke tester the best way to test this is by replacement, either by swapping the cable in use to a spare or by connecting another device (Laptop?), that is known to work wired for the problem PC, (if the laptop works then this also proves that the fault is with the PC)
Ethernet cables are very fragile and I've known them fail just from removing and reattaching
Maybe worth a try before reloading drivers etc :)

Given his screenshot from Device Manager, it seems impossible to believe that the existing hardware (which definitely shows currently as the nVidia Nforce gigabit LAN adapter) would not also have been what was operational before the router switch. Hard to imagine that it previously was the Broadcom B5071 (as I've already observed should be what appears per the ASUS motherboard specs) and now is an nVidia Nforce adapter.
Maybe it's just nomenclature. Maybe the nVidia Nforce adapter has a Broadcom B5071 chip inside it, but still shows in Device Manager as nVidia rather than Broadcom.
I agree, uninstalling and reinstalling the most current LAN adapter driver from the ASUS download site is "prudent". But my own feeling is that this is not the "solution" since things were working fine before the router switchout. I believe it's most likely the new network that got created by the new router but which has not been correctly enabled and defined as "home network" yet, or (as was suggested by barman58) possibly a bad cable, or a possibly defective router or LAN port on the router, or some other configuration issue still expecting the old router and its network, rather than the new router and its 192.168.1.* network.

When it comes to a Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy, which debt relief solution is best?
When people fall into bad debt, they can turn to a number of debt relief solutions to help them out of trouble. often it comes down to two options: a Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy.
IF you have been struggling with your debt of late, you may have heard of a Debt Agreement. A Part 9 Debt Agreement is a legally binding agreement between you and your creditors which outlines a new, affordable repayment arrangement. It freezes your fees and interest and allows you to repay only a percentage of each dollar you owe to satisfy your debts.
The jury is still out on whether or not a Debt Agreement is better than Bankruptcy. The truth is, each case of debt is different. While it might be more beneficial for some people to declare bankruptcy, it has a number of restrictions and long term consequences which make it a very difficult option for others to pursue.
The battle of a Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy is entirely dependent on your situation. For example, if you own a home, you might prefer to enter a Debt Agreement to keep your house. But if your debts are beyond control and you have lost a steady source of income, Bankruptcy would be better.
To help you make an informed decision about which debt relief solution is right for you we have touched on some of the important differences between the two. We compare bankruptcy with Part 9 Debt Agreements in the ultimate battle of debt relief solutions:
Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy: Amount of Debt
Bankruptcy – There is no restriction on the amount of debt you owe to declare bankruptcy. You could owe $2000 or $200,000. This is because the act of declaring bankruptcy is officially declaring to your creditors that you don't have any money or value in assets to cover the debt you owe. So a Trustee will sell your assets and cap your wages for the period of Bankruptcy to repay your creditors what you owe.
Part 9 Debt Agreement – Only unsecured debts may be included in a Debt Agreement. The combined value of these debts cannot exceed the threshold amount set by the Australian Financial Security Authority. You can check the threshold amount here – it is updated twice annually.
Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy: Earning Capacity
Bankruptcy – During the bankruptcy you can not earn over threshold amount set by AFSA. Any money earned over this amount will be confiscated by your trustee and distributed to your creditors.
Part 9 Debt Agreement – There are no restrictions on how much money you can earn. However you need to be earning enough to cover your Debt Agreement repayments. Often this means people who have no income can not enter into a Debt Agreement.
Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy: Operating a Business
Bankruptcy – There are several restrictions on operating a business when bankrupt. These depend on which industry you are in. While bankrupt, you cannot be a director of a company or be involved in its management. You may be able to operate a business while bankrupt. However in some professions you must disclose you declared bankruptcy.
Part 9 Debt Agreement – You may be able to operate a business while you are in a Debt Agreement. In some industries you will still need to disclose your state of insolvency.
Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy: Owning Property
Bankruptcy – You can not own property while you are bankrupt. Any property or share in a property you own will be sold by your trustee. The proceeds from the sale will go to your creditors.
Part 9 Debt Agreement – You may own property while you are in a Part 9 Debt Agreement. However if you are planning to purchase a new property while you are in a Debt Agreement, you may find it difficult to secure finance.
Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy: Owning a car
Bankruptcy – There is a set threshold on the value of the car you drive. If your vehicle exceeds this amount it will be sold by your trustee. It might also be repossessed if it was secured against a loan.
Part 9 Debt Agreement – There are no restrictions on the number or value of vehicles you can own during a Debt Agreement. Secured loans can not be included in a Debt Agreement. If you have purchased your car with a secured car loan, you will need to maintain the minimum repayments on that loan separately to your Debt Agreement repayments.
Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy: Length of Insolvency
Bankruptcy – You are bankrupt for three years. This term can be extended to 5-7 years by your creditors or trustee under certain circumstances. Once your bankruptcy is over, it will remain on your credit file as a 'discharged bankrupt' for another 2 years. While your Bankruptcy is officially over after 3 years (if not extended) you will find it difficult to borrow money in the following 2 years as it will still be marked on your credit file.
When you declare Bankruptcy, your name will be listed on the National Personal Insolvency Index for life.
Part 9 Debt Agreement – A Debt Agreement is usually negotiated over a 5 year period. You can pay it off sooner without consequence. In certain circumstances, a Debt Agreement may also be renegotiated part way through if your situation changes. This will essentially extend the life of your agreement.
When you enter a Part 9 Debt Agreement your name will be listed on the National Personal Insolvency Index while you are in the agreement only.
Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy: Your Credit File
Bankruptcy – Your bankruptcy will appear on your credit file for 5 years – 3 years as a Bankrupt and 2 years as a discharged Bankrupt. Declaring bankruptcy absolves all your debt and the restrictions placed on you discourage you from being able to borrow any money. At the end on 5 years, even if your bankruptcy drops off your credit report, you won't have any repayment history to speak of. This lack of information on your credit file can result in a low credit score which may take some time to rebuild.
Part 9 Debt Agreement – A Part 9 Debt Agreement will typically remain on your credit file for 5 years. As only unsecured debts may be included in a Debt Agreement, you need to maintain your secured debt payments outside the Debt Agreement payment. If you keep up with the minimum repayments for secured loans by paying in full and on time, you can maintain a consistent credit score. Once your Debt Agreement drops off your file, your credit score can improve in a matter of days.
Which is best for you?
In the debate of Debt Agreement vs Bankruptcy, a Debt Agreement is a less intrusive method of repaying your debts. While it still requires you to make debt repayments, they are made affordable and your financial future will recover quickly once it has ended. Bankruptcy has many long term, restrictive consequences which are hard to escape years after the bankruptcy has finished. However both debt relief solutions have their place in Australia and are tried and proven methods of helping you rid yourself of bad debt.

Once again, I'd need your help.
I was messing around (if I say so, although I only set the formstyle properties to mdiform and mdichild once, and then reset them to Normal, ever since my problem appears) formstyle property, and got some strange behaviour for which can't seem to find the solution, neither in the codes nor on google.
At runtime I get 2 forms shown by default: main form, which used to show firstly, and one another form, which I usually showed via button on the main form. It's not the second listed, but the last form listed in the CreateForm sequence.
Any ideas what I did and how to repair it? :S
Thanks much!

Dear Barbara,
On April 04, 2004, your oldest child killed my oldest child, Casey Austin Sheehan.
Unlike your oldest child, my son was a marvelous person who joined the military to serve his country and to try and make the world a better place. Casey didn't want to go to Iraq, but he knew his duty. Your son went AWOL from a glamour unit. George couldn't even handle the Alabama Air National Guard. Casey joined the Army before your son became commander in chief. We all know that your son was thinking of invading Iraq as early as 1999. Casey was a dead man before George even became president and before he even joined the Army in May of 2000.
I raised Casey and my other children to use their words to solve problems and conflicts. I told my four children from the time that they were small that it is ALWAYS wrong to kick, bite, hit, scratch, pull hair, etc. If the smaller children couldn't find the words to solve their conflicts without violence, I always encouraged them to find a mediator like a parent, older sibling, or teacher to help them find the words.
Did you teach George to use his words and not his violence to solve problems? It doesn't appear so. Did you teach him that killing other people for profits and oil is ALWAYS wrong? Obviously you did not. I also used to wash my children's mouth out with soap on the rare occasion that they lied…did you do that to George? Can you do it now? He has lied and he is still lying. Saddam did not have WMD's or ties with al-Qaeda and the Downing Street Memos prove that your son knew this before he invaded Iraq.
On August 3rd, 2005, your son said that he killed my son and the other brave and honorable Americans for a "noble cause." Well, Barbara, mother to mother, that angered me. I don't consider invading and occupying another country that was proven not to be a threat to the USA, a "noble cause". I don't think invading a country, killing its innocent citizens, and ruining the infrastructure to make your family and your family-friendly war profiteers rich is a noble cause.
So I went down to Crawford in August to ask your son what noble cause did he kill my son for. He wouldn't speak with me. I think that showed incredibly bad manners. Do you think a president, even if it is your son, should be so inaccessible to his employers? Especially one of his bosses whose life George has devastated so completely?
I have been to the White House several times since August to try and meet with George and I am going back to Crawford next week. Do you think you can call him and ask him to do the right thing and bring the troops home from this illegal and immoral war in Iraq that he carelessly started? I hear you are one of the few people he still talks to. He won't speak to his father, who knew the difficulties and impossibilities of going into Iraq and that's why he didn't go there in the 1st Gulf War. If you won't tell him to bring the troops home, can you at least urge him to meet with me?
You said this in 2003, a little over a year before my dear, sweet Casey was killed by your son's policies:
"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" (Good Morning America, March 18, 2003)
Now I have something to tell you, Barbara. I didn't want to hear about deaths or body bags either. On April 04, 2004, three Army officers came to my house to tell me that Casey was killed in Iraq. I fell on the floor screaming and begging the cruel Angel of Death to take me too. But the Angel of Death that took my son is your son.
Casey came home in a flag draped coffin on April 10th. I used to have a beautiful mind too. Now my mind is filled with images of seeing his beautiful body in his casket and memories of burying my brave and honest boy before his life really began. Casey's beautiful mind was ended by an insurgent's bullet to his brain, but your son might as well have pulled the trigger.
Besides encouraging your son to have some honesty and courage and to finally do the right thing, don't you think you owe me and every other Gold Star parent an apology for that cruel and careless remark you made?
Your son's amazingly ignorant, arrogant, and reckless policies in Iraq are responsible for so much sorrow and trouble in this world.
Can you make him stop? Do it before more mothers' lives are needlessly and cruelly harmed. There have been too many worldwide already.

The objective of this proposal is to establish the molecular identities of a panel of internalizing mesothelioma cell surface antigens that are bound by a panel of novel internalizing human single chain antibodies (scFvs) that target both epithelioid and sarcomatoid (a particularly recalcitrant form) mesothelioma. The proposed study is built upon our recent work where we have selected a combinatorial human antibody library on live mesothelioma cells and identified a panel of internalizing scFvs that bind to all subtypes of mesothelioma cells in situ with no binding to normal mesothelium, and mediate efficient intracellular delivery of small molecule payloads to both epithelioid and sarcomatoid mesothelioma cells in vitro. We hypothesize that these scFvs define novel mesothelioma antigens that have significantly greater specificity, subtype coverage and therapeutic potential than currently known antigens. Identification of these novel mesothelioma antigens would (1) allow further engineering of the lead antibodies to improve affinity, specificity, pharmacokinetics and biodistribution, (2) allow development of additional antibodies targeting non-overlapping epitopes of the same antigen, which is often required for diagnostic assay development, (3) enhance our understanding of tumor behaviors that involve the cell membrane, which may lead to identification of additional novel targets for further therapeutic development, and (4) provide a sound rationale for clinical trial design such as pre-screening of patients based on target expression. We are uniquely positioned to accomplish this goal as we have developed and adapted effective methods to identify tumor antigens targeted by scFvs. Key to this proposal is our newly developed novel antigen identification strategies based on eukaryotic cell surface display of the human proteome. In addition, we have established functional collaborations with Drs. Burlingame and Chalkley and their National Mass Spectrometry Facility at UCSF to identify tumor antigens that are difficult to identify by expression cloning methods such as post-translationally modified antigens. We propose to use the methods and strategies that we have developed and adapted to systematically identify mesothelioma cell surface antigens targeted by our panel of internalizing human scFvs.
The objective of this proposal is to establish the molecular identities of a panel of mesothelioma cell surface antigens that are bound by a panel of novel internalizing human single chain antibodies that target both epithelioid and sarcomatoid (a particularly recalcitrant form) mesothelioma. Given that mesothelioma is a major occupation-related illness with no treatment to date, and little is known about mesothelioma cell surface antigens expressed by all subtypes of the disease, identification of mesothelioma antigens targeted by our panel of internalizing antibodies addresses a critical need and is likely to have a significant impact on the development of antibody-based therapeutics and diagnostics against mesothelioma.

The "Critical Power" tab shows your critical power curve.
Critical power is the maximum sustainable power output you can maintain for a particular period of time. Because you can output more watts in a short period versus an extended period, the value for critical power is shown as a curve.
Note that this is different from FTP, which remains constant with duration. Critical power changes with duration; but as duration increases, the two values tend to converge. At 60 minutes, critical power can be considered a very close estimate of your FTP.

According to latest Weekly Famitsu, Nintendo's upcoming sequel to Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, called Zelda Gaiden, is the sixth Most Wanted title by Japanese gamers. Just before Nintendo's annual Spaceworld Show two months ago, the title barely managed to make the top 30, and has since seen a rapid rise in popularity.
However, the game will likely be hard-pressed to nudge its way into the current Japanese top five Most Wanted games, which currently consists of the following: Dragon Quest 7, Chrono Cross, Pokemon Gold/Silver, Shenmue and the girlfriend simulator Tokimeki Memorial 2. Meanwhile, the HAL-developed Mother 3 (Earthbound 64) seems to be bouncing all over the charts, from positions 10 to eight and is now holding steadily at nine.

MIAMI — Wide receiver Michael Irvin and tight end Willie Smith took different paths to set or tie a team record in Miami`s 58-7 victory over Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl Saturday.
Irvin`s path was unobstructed. Smith`s path was dangerous, a hip pointer and a sliced hand bearing proof.
Irvin caught a 15-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to tie Eddie Brown`s UM season record of nine, set in 1984. Smith caught six passes for 80 yards and finished with a team career-record 114 catches, breaking the 108 mark held by Glenn Dennison (1981-83).
``Vinny (Testaverde) was talking to me about Eddie Brown before the game,`` said Irvin, a redshirt freshman from St. Thomas Aquinas. ``Vinny was saying that Brown was an All-American and that nobody`s looking at me as an All- American yet. But he said he would get me the record and then we`ll turn some heads, just like Eddie Brown did.``
Smith was named to the Kodak All-America team earlier in the week.
But if tearing some fingers was a prerequisite, the fourth-year junior would have been an All-American last season. In 1984, Smith tore the webbing of his right hand between the little and ring fingers going for a pass. The tear needed 12 stitches.
Saturday, while reaching for an underthrown pass in the first quarter, Smith tore the webbing between the ring and middle fingers, requiring 17 stitches. Smith, who left the game briefly, did not catch the pass. On his final catch in the fourth quarter, Smith was hit and sustained a hip pointer.
His mood belied any pain.
``I feel great about the record,`` Smith said, ``but it`s a little freaky that I hurt my hand again. I want to find a way to keep it from splitting open.``
Of his second, and more serious, injury, Smith said, ``My hip pad was low on that last catch and I was hit right on the hip. But I`ll be ready for the Sugar Bowl. It`ll take me a couple weeks, but I`ll be there.``

Florida Landscape Art Prints
Welcome to my site...
Welcome. Signed & numbered limited editions of Giclee fine art prints.
I have made repeated trips down rivers abounding in sub-tropical scenery throughout the state. In views from mid river, I sought to capture the dimly apprehended mystery that keeps naturalist and travelers coming back to a cove or inlet year after year. In seeking to capture this quality, my pencil drawings, "Paintings in Graphite" have a great sense of warmth, a strong sense of the pull of an enclosure, a deep desire for immersion, and, yet something persists in receding mysterious out of reach. The title of "Paintings in Graphite" derives from my studies in classical painting and pencil drawings. There is an edition of 99 for each "Paintings in Graphite available.

In Conversation: Michelle Alfano & Anne Hines
IFOA is proud to open the 44th edition of IFOA Weekly with Michelle Alfano's new book, The Unfinished Dollhouse: A Memoir of Gender and Identity. Join Michelle Alfano and Rev. Anne Hines as they discuss familial relationships in the thought-provoking and touching story of The Unfinished Dollhouse.
"No mother is prepared for the moment when a child comes out to her as a person whose physical gender is out-of-keeping with his emotional and psychological gender-identity. In Michelle Alfano's intimate memoir, she recounts her experience as the mother of a transgender child….In the years to follow, Frankie's parents experienced an education in parenting a child transitioning from female to male – which pronouns to use, how to disclose the information to friends, family, school and how to deal with the reactions of all – some heartening, some surprising, some disappointing."

The Sporting Goods industry is worth $63 billion," says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "This is a very useful item for for a fairly large industry that's sure to grow.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) July 21, 2016
World Patent Marketing, a vertically integrated manufacturer and engineer of patented products, announces The Rescue Rope, a tool designed to retrieve hunting equipment.
"The Sporting Goods industry is worth $63 billion," says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "This is a very useful item for for a fairly large industry that's sure to grow."
"Hunting is a sport that requires a lot of time and focus. This can lead to misplaced equipment," says Jerry Shapiro, Director of Manufacturing and World Patent Marketing Inventions. "The Rescue Rope can easily and quickly retrieve that equipment to prevent the hunter from being spotted."
The Rescue Rope is a tool that is used to retrieve dropped items from a distance. It is a long rope with a hook, a magnet, and a velcro at the end. Each of these can pick up a different kind of object or material. This is an invention primarily meant for hunting but it can be used for anything. It is very useful when an item is dropped while climbing a tree or from a high vantage point, as the item can be retrieved without having to climb down.
"The inspiration for the name is that, when deer hunting, I use a climbing tree stand to get about 25 to 30 feet up a tree and try to minimize any disturbance that may alert the deer to my presence," says inventor Ronald M, "When I drop something or forget to tie something to my hoist rope, I would have to climb back down to get it. That creates movement, noise, and additional scent due to sweating. Being able to drop the rescue rope to recover anything heavy with the hook, clothing (gloves or hat) with the Velcro, and steel (arrowheads, knife) with the magnet, I am able to stay up in the tree and not ruin the hunting trip. I have done it with deer around and managed to recover items without spooking the deer."
Joseph Gallison, a store manager and hunter from Wisconsin, had this to say about The Rescue Rope: "I love to go hunting on weekends. This will be a very useful invention that will let me pick up anything I've dropped without alerting my prey."
The Rescue Rope is a sporting goods invention that can be used to retrieve forgotten items.

Bloomberg Politics Managing Editor Mark Halperin said "we shouldn't Hillary Clinton and her people intimidate us" on Monday's "With All Due Respect."
Halperin, in a discussion on "Clinton Cash" said there will be an "iron triangle" between the mainstream press, conservatives who produce opposition research, and GOP operatives, although he didn't see this problematic or wrong. He added that Hillary and her defenders will try to discredit the story, and "the proof should be in the pudding."
Halperin concluded, "if there's good reporting, if there's stuff that's worth telling the public about Hillary Clinton, we should do it. — We shouldn't publish partisan screeds, and we shouldn't Hillary Clinton and her people intimidate us." Although he did agree that Hillary gets tougher reporting than everyone else.
