Social media are the intelligence powering modern marketing. Not only is Twittersphere dominated by marketers who are keen on the promotional power of social channels, but it seems like this new world of ubiquitous chit-chat is the obsession of everybody in the marketing profession everywhere.
Everybody comments on social media analytics, so what I'm saying here isn't news to most of you. But I recently stopped to ponder what's truly disruptive about social media's role in the modern economy. And then it hit me. From the dawn of marketing, we've always hunted and gathered customer intelligence, using massive amounts of sweat equity to bag the beast.
Before social media emerged, market research was almost always labor intensive. No matter who you were – enterprise, agency, consultant, analyst, etc. – you had to put your nose to the proverbial research grindstone. You conducted panels, surveys, focus groups, interviews, field studies, usability testing, case studies, literature searches, and the like. Most of the intelligence-gathering burden was on you, with the subject of your studies – the customer – either putting in less effort or not having to lift a finger at all.
Social media changed all that by shifting much of the "work" of intelligence gathering to the customer.
Essentially, social media made a heretofore second-tier market research approach – diary studies – the centerpiece of the new economy. Social media analytics is diary studies embedded in the global culture of the postmodern world. Social media – founded on "user-generated content – are diary studies gone ubiquitous, proactive, and continuous. In this new scheme of things, more and more of us – through Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, etc. – continually self-report our feelings, experiences, preferences, activities, etc. This ubiquitous social-centric culture has opened a new world of open-source customer intelligence that is there for the taking – or harvesting.
Essentially, social has pushed the marketing intelligence field from the olden days of hunting and gathering to the new age of sowing and harvesting. Social intelligence listening engines, integrated with a growing range of customer relationship management (CRM) applications, are simply powerful harvesters. We sow the seeds of the continuous intelligence harvest by reaching out to customers through the wide range of socials and by optimizing our marketing campaigns around socials, both on the intelligence-harvesting analytics and on the customer-engagement sides of the equation.

20 tips for Communication in the Workplace
-Dr. Randall L. Kinnison
1. Use email or text for data communication only.
2. NO EMAIL OR TEXT that can be misunderstood or escalate conflict. Consider WHO you copy and WHY you copy them.
3. Keep short accounts. Take care of miscommunication immediately. Things will only grow and spread.
4. Review your written communication before sending. Avoid the use of inflammatory language.
5. If you get pushback, consider if you may have initiated the response. An apology may be needed.
6. Nobody gets thrown under the bus. Think consideration and peace.
7. Cultivate a heart at peace. Peace spreads to others. SO DOES WAR. A heart at war will find others to join him or her in the battle.
8. Speak encouragement to team members weekly.
9. No Gossip. Gossip can create an atmosphere of judgment, distrust, abuse, and intolerance. Gossip destroys many work environments.
10. You have two ears and one mouth – use them in proportion.
11. Don't raise your voice. You make a more powerful point under control.
12. Don't use a condescending voice. No one wants another parent.
13. Create "open feedback loops." Let others know they can talk with you.
14. Don't interrupt.
15. Don't editorialize. Keep to the facts and don't fill in the blanks.
16. Practice "Fierce Conversations." (Susan Scott) Learn how to communicate with truth and grace.
17. Before you leave a meeting or a conversation, check in to see what each person takes away.
18. Remember you live in a different land (department). You will see work through a different lens. Speak the language of the team, not your homeland.
19. Return to original intent. Most people begin in a good space. Find out where the train left the tracks.
20. There is a difference between perfection and excellence. When you pursue a job to perfection, often a cost is involved; either to yourself, or your relationships at work, home, or others. Seek excellence. Leave perfection for those with OCD.

Disclaimer: This article is purely informational, and in no way represents a commercial relationship between Cancun-Discounts.com and United Airlines Inc, formerly known as Continental Airlines Inc. Cancun-Discounts.com is not affiliated with or sponsored by United Airlines or its affiliates. The following information was accurate at the time it was written, but is no longer maintained or updated as the OnePass mileage program no longer exists.
Continental Airlines, until its merger with United Air Lines, maintained a frequent flyer program called Continental OnePass. Upon the completion of the merger of these two major airlines, Continental's OnePass program was merged into United's MileagePlus program in early 2012.
Serving 280 cities worldwide, Continental Airlines was the world's sixth largest airline. It was hooked up with SkyTeam, which gave it truly global reach. Its OnePass Frequent Flyer Program was a good one, due to the wide range of partner airlines. We were a member of OnePass, and used Continental Airlines regularly. It served Mexico and the Eastern US exceptionally well. Continental gave you many ways to earn their OnePass Frequent Flyer miles. It was also one of the only programs to give you flyer miles for cruises booked through many agencies. If you liked cruises, you may have wanted to consider the Continental Airlines OnePass program.
There were a lot of other great ways to pick up air miles along the way with Continental. They had a wide list of worldwide partners making international travel really easy, including giants Delta and Northwest. Of particular interest to Cancun travelers was AeroMexico which just gave you one more option to get to Cancun for FREE!
Former Airline Partners
Continental Airlines also partnered with the usual cast and crew of National car rental chains - if you're going to rent a car make sure to give them your airline miles number!
Former Car Partners
Former Cruise Partners
One of Continental's biggest draws was that they gave you up to 10,000 Frequent Flyer miles for booking cruises on the following Cruise lines:
Former OnePass Dining
Did you know that you could get bonus miles just for eating? You got a whopping 10 miles for every dollar spent on your ENTIRE bill - tips, alcohol and everything. And it was good at over 10,000 restaurants nationwide!
Former Financial Services and Other Partners
You could earn thousands of miles with everything from a checking account to real estate. Earn miles for investing, saving for college, or selling your home! It was an easy way to rack em up!
Former OnePass Hotel Partners
Continental Airlines had a ton of Hotel Partners - almost anywhere you stayed would be eligible for OnePass miles. You could easily add some free miles to your next vacation or business trip! The long list of partners included:
Former Telecom Partners
Continental had probably the best group of Telecom partners in the industry. AT&T gave you 10,000 bonus miles to sign up, plus gave you 5 miles for every minute you talked. MCI used to do this with American, and we've always used it. When you call internationally as much as we do, it really adds up! Plus, Cingular, Nextel, and T-Mobile all gave you thousands of bonus miles to use their cell phone service.
Former Shopping Partners
Continental teamed with dozens of Merchants to offer you air miles whenever you shopped!

( Bhubaneswar )
the capital of Orissa, is also popularly known as the "Temple
City of India". Being the seat of Tribhubaneswar or 'Lord
Lingaraj', Bhubaneswar is an important Hindu pilgrimage centre.
Hundreds of temples dot the landscape of the Old Town, which once
boasted of more than 2000 temples. Bhubaneswar is the place where
temple building activities of Orissan style flowered from its
very inception to its fullest culmination extending over a period
of over one thousand years.
The new Bhubaneswar with its modern buildings and extensive infrastructure
perfectly complements its historic surroundings. With facilities
to cater to every type of visitor, Bhubaneswar makes an ideal
tourist destination.
Some of the important temples of Bhubaneswar are: the temples
of Laxmaneswar, Satrughaneswar and Bharateswar (c. 6th century
A.D.), Parsurameswar and Swarnajaleswar (c. 7th century A.D.),
Vaital (c. 8th century A.D.), Mukteswar (c. 10th century A.D.),
Brahmeswar, Rajarani and Lingaraj (c. 11th century A.D.) and Ananta
Vasudeva (c. 13th century A.D.). Orissa state Museum, Tribal Museum
& Handicrafts House.The other attractions of the city include
Orissa State Museum, Tribal Research Museum on CRP Square and
Kalanagar at Gandanumda ; Ekamra Kanan housing the biggest Rose
Garden of Asia ; Pathani Samanta Planetarium and BDA Nicco Park.
Approach: Bhubaneswar is well connected by air, rail and
road to the rest of India. The modern Biju Patnaik airport is
being extended to receive wide bodied aircraft, and one may well
see international charters landing here soon.
Best time to visit: Bhubaneswar can be visited round the
year, but the ideal time, especially for visitors from colder
climes, would be from October to March.

Mark's Market Commentary – January 6, 2002
Due to a business emergency, this one will be brief, and there will be no commentary posted tomorrow.
To summarize, there were many legitimate breakouts on JPM, FBF, VZ, SBC, and other high dividend payers.
EBAY exploded to new highs. YHOO will probably follow.
The China Internuts like SINA and NTSE are going up like bottle rockets. Those charts look like Al Green's Money Supply Parabola.
The DJIA exceeded its Bullinger Bands, went past the left shoulder, and is off to the races.
Every main line strategist hit the tape today and issued bullish forecasts for 2003. Too many to list.
I played a couple of longs on NVLS and QLGC today, but closed them when I had to leave the office….
A pullback will be coming, due to the extreme TICK and low TRIN, but that will probably be a buying opportunity. Maybe the last high was a left shoulder, and the next high will be the real high. Who knows. Volume wasn't too impressive today.
Had to leave before the close, so I'll let Buddha finish off today:
"If you want the world indexes higher and you want speculative capital to move onto the Keno tables from Mars, Neptune and Pluto than there is no better way than to give a couple of the most manic greyhounds a headstart in the morning by unleashing their collars preMarket. AMAT trading desk over at Deutshce Whatever on Thursday and Friday was clearly insidered with their anal cyst upgrade. Its so obvious even Bob Dole could spot this constant numbers running activity. I thought the AMAT train had already left the station a couple of times back in summer of 2001 and then early last year. How many gears does this train have? Who is on it? Reminds me of the great 80s classic "Runaway Train". Escaped Cons hijack a huge Diesel on a track out in the middle of a Yukon blizzard and then ride it backwards into oblivion. Really that has to be the theme for any trading on the Comp circa 2000 and on. All of these are death trains jacked around by convict players manipulating sectors from one day to next. No one cares where the train is going, only that it is screaming down the tracks."
"Everyday is a 'critical juncture' in the dog food world of TA. Market is buying up into the little facists speech on Tuesday, may just be doing a discounting move and sell it off once the idiot starts yammering. But this market will fool most people looking for easy shorts in mid January. I think it will buy the news of War because it bought the bombing run of poor Afghanistan. It remembers this well. It remembers how much all the overpriced screamers kept going up as the daisy cutters were dropping. Could be alot of short covering then since it will be assumed that the war will be target practice for the U.S. Airforce. Of course Wall Street doesn't really care about the long term consequences of such a disastrous policy but thats another subject. The idea for these Hoods is to play short term trends, game your positions, jockey constantly for best odds out one week and forget the rest. I can't imagine that any large money HedgeHog is trying to game out longer than a couple of week time frame. That kind of nonsense is left to the Lou RuKaiser crowd. It's the dogbone thrown to the psychics who are predicting end of 03 outcomes. Its esssentially meaningless drivel that keeps the media machine greased and rated."
"No time wave turn until Wednesday at noontime or so. I expect buying therefore to continue and the bush nonsense not to be actually sold until then but any entrance long at this juncture is poor risk/reward. better to sit out or buy Gold on retrace, who knows? Hopefully Any pullback after idiot speaks will be bought by greater fools and hopers leaving better short entries for later in January. Caveat is that Wall Street will attempt to front run the opening Bombing festivities which are more or less set for January 27th or thereabouts. They will frontrun with greed since greed won the last time they ran with the bombs in Sept of 2001. Anyone living in Iraq who sees a Cheat Street run begin in late January would best just high tail it over the border. Money insiders will know within minutes when the Go button has been pushed. They will know as soon as Field Marshall Rumesfeld knows."

Hey Guys,
Thank you to the fearsome foursome (Mark, Brian, Piles, End) and the rest of the folks for helping this stoolie go long via RYVYX on Friday. GREAT CALL GUYS.
Now the bigh question, of course, is do I dump the POS at the close tomorrow or hold on for a bit??!!
The real market gurus are here at Cap Stool. Would appreciate your feedback since.....I DON'T KNOW SHIT.
Posted 06 January 2003 - 06:08 PM
Folks, I am in an economically sensitive business in a key sector of our economy, namely, semiconductors... Don't be short this market and hold, you are playing with fire...
I connected the dots for myself the other day, sitting in New Zealand listening to fund mgr after fund mgr and corp execs in Asia who were almost all bearish and negative on 2003... I came to the conclusion that we are near or at an inflection point.
Then, I returned to my business today, and a flurry of new orders came in over the last week. More business than we've seen in months...
I warned my bullish friends in December of 99 that things were going to take a dive... in December 2002, I've unzipped the bear costume and stand naked in this environment, neither bear, nor bull... I'm neutral, but more bullish than bearish at the moment...
Not saying that there aren't shorting opportunities on the way up, but if you think 2003 is another down year, you'll be very surprised...
Happy New Year to all....
Posted 06 January 2003 - 06:15 PM
I don't know shite either but, I sold most of my calls today and went short more near the close when we seemed to have trouble at 931. I expect a retracement to the 900ish area.
spx above it's boobinger band and vix below it's band tells me we are near or had a temp. top. (that took place at around 3 pm est today.)
Don't follow me.
NONE of what I type, should be taken as financial advice.
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone
Dragged down by the stone.
Posted 06 January 2003 - 06:17 PM
'America Prepares for War" is the headline in the local paper. I've got my popcorn, too bad I've still only got a 20" TV instead of one of those big Plasma jobs to enjoy the action.
I expect Best Buy to be running a war special on those babies. Too bad we can't actually see the dead babies. Even worse the damn PC crowd at the White House will probably downside that number, just like the unemployment one.
But what the heck, it's Saddams fault, and look at that market. Buy death I always say.
I pretty much won't dong this thing because of my sick principals. I'll be proud to lose money on my yet to be established shorts if this thing runs up when the bombs start dropping.

Has the business activity caught you by surprise Fart?
My take is we are near a ST top. Beyond that - I don't participate. If we need to react to another ST bottom - so be it. Let's make some money.
I'm looking closely at my PM's. I suppose I'll put some limit orders on some and some stops on some others tomorrow.
Posted 06 January 2003 - 06:26 PM
made a boat load of dough on the screamers again today (QLGC, BEAS, ESRX, DISH).
Thanks for the idea Mark.
Still holding BEARX as top #2 is approaching quickly.
Posted 06 January 2003 - 06:29 PM
FP, Asia is not the US. Asia is growing, they have the savings, aka capital. At best that is a trickle down situation for our markets.

Was stopped out of a number of positions today.
For what it's worth, I think we are in a midst of a replay of August-October 02 (refer below link) only on a grander scale.
On this basis I think we have just witnessed a massive bearish wedge and we are about to set up for a wave 3
Short term there is only one thing that drives the market SENTIMENT. And things have turned decidedly positive.
A successful Iraq compaign is fully priced in.
Butt plenty of potential bad news on the horizon,
4Q02 reporting, unemployment figures, capacity utlization,
leading indicators etc.
I would like to know Vesselin's take.
Posted 06 January 2003 - 06:50 PM
Fartportfolio: I don't know much about New Zealand
other than that it is a scenic country (Lord of The Rings) that has some scary looking rugby players (Mr Jonah Lomu should have come to the NFL).
But I have yet to meet a fund manager
that is BEARISH. Maybe they are different in NZ.
As for 2003 not being another down year, you may be right.
But remember in Japan the last 6 of 7 years have been down years. And I have yet to hear a plausible reason as to why we will avoid a similar fate.
Jorma: I just saw a book called the Faces of the Trade Center. And the final page is this picture of a surviving wife and her two children. I nearly started crying when I saw the picture. I had to close the book for fear of embarassing myself, in the bookstore.
I don't care what race or religion, kids are innocent.
At this point I don't know who scares
me more Bush or Saddam. If I lived in Bagdad and someone dropped a bomb on my kid, I'd be on the first plane to Washington.
Posted 06 January 2003 - 07:03 PM
FM, I agree with Butt. They're foaming at the mouth over here no matter how you measure it.
Lets take a stroll down sentiment lane, shall we...
1) Mutual Funds 5% cash.
2) Wall St Strategist recommend 70-80% equity allocations.
3) Business Week survey shows 89% bullish for 03 with very high targets.
4) Investor Intelligence 51% bulls, 25% bears.
5) VIX in the twenties.
6) Equity PCR 0.4 today and 21-day MAs still floating on very low side.
7) S&P500 COT. Small traders very bullish, commercials heavy short.
8) Business newsmags showing pictures of bulls on cover and that recovery is a foregone conclusion.
There's more, but I can't recall and my fingers are getting tired of typing this same damning evidence over and over again.
2003 may NET up, but it certainly isn't starting up - the path of least resistance is still down
Anyone who missed the first top on Dec 2 is getting a second chance now. That I can say with 100% certainty.
Posted 06 January 2003 - 07:21 PM
Some guy named Byron Wien from Morgan Stanley, just said the market was undervalued by 40% and that the housing bubble was just going to get bigger.
When will this garbage end. He also said Hillary Clinton was going to run for President next time and that the Democratic Party needed her.
Posted 06 January 2003 - 07:23 PM
Let's see, at the time, I seem to remember that Doc and I were the only ones who thought it was a top... I could pull up the thread, but you remember, I'm sure...
I'm in an "over-the-horizon-radar" type of business here... I have to give the weight to is happening there... I was early in December of 99 on my bearish stance, I'm probably a little early here, but I am pretty darn sure about the direction of things...
I'll be looking to add some longs on the next pullback.
a subscribatory!

Kallmünz, Germanyis charming medieval town of about 3,000 people with cobblestone alleyways, gently leaning old buildings, a medieval stone bridge, and the ruins of a castle, which a friend recently took me to see for the first time.
What I've read online about the ruins is that the earliest castle walls were built in the 900s, and that the castle itself was constructed in the mid-1300s. It was destroyed by fire in 1504, was rebuilt during the Thirty Years War, and was then "plundered" in the mid-1600s. All that remains of the castle now are crumbling walls and beautiful views.
There are a few different trails you can take to reach the top of the cliff that the ruins stand on. The various approaches are each relatively short (15-30 minutes walk from bottom to top), but are fairly steep and rough.
The trail we hiked began at a trailhead on a small street called Vilsgasse, east of ST 2165.
If you enlarge the photo of the map, here, our trailhead was just beneath the back wheel of the tractor icon.
I also took a photo of the entrance to the trail. You'll notice a stone marker that says "zur Burg" in the bottom left of the shot. To reach the trailhead, follow the driveway you see on the right. The entrance to the trail is at the end of the driveway on the righthand side.
As we climbed the hill toward the castle, a summer storm blew through, forcing my friend and I, both wearing our babies, to take cover under a wide stone archway. Cool rain blew down around us and traffic moved along the highways far below.
Once the storm passed, we explored the ruins and took in the Castle's fantastic views over the countryside. Eventually we made our way back down the hill and into the town, where we wandered, enjoying the cobblestone alleys and beautiful old buildings.
If you make it to Kallmünz, don't forget your camera. the views from the top of the cliff where the castle sits are stunning, even on a rainy day. I can only imagine how beautiful they must be when it's clear out.
The town of Kallmünz is approximately 15 (12.5 km) minutes southeast of Hohenfels, Bavaria. The Kallmünz Castle sits high on a cliff above the confluence of the River Naab and the River Vils.

Connecting Parents To Their Children's Education
"Education either... is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity, or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." -- Paulo Freire
Dear Valued Stakeholders,
Walking out for a coffee and some air this morning, I thought about this message to you, our friends and listeners, and this program we're sharing with you featuring David Valladolid. As the President and CEO of the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE), David carries forward the legacy of Rev. Vahac Mardirosian and Dr. Alberto Ochoa, two gentleman who confounded the education community when they founded PIQE in San Diego, California 22 years ago. Since its inception, PIQE has inspired and taught more than 375,000 underserved and often non-English speaking people to make a difference with their children's education by teaching a simple idea: Your child's success is in your hands. Here is how to make it happen.
Today, in his role as President, David continues the work of PIQE's founders. The program has expanded beyond San Diego, now flourishing nationally, and offering the rest of us insights into an organization built on solid principles, rather than just the personalities of two men. Hype often stems from personality-driven programs in which one figurehead is the driving force of the institution. But PIQE was built on principles that could be learned, lived, and passed on to others. I note this point because in the more than 25 years I have been consulting with people, organizations, communities, businesses, and groups to make a difference and assure their future, one action stands out. Current leadership is always looking around for others who can be brought into the organization and trained to be future leaders.
It was this leadership development aspect of the work of the Parent Institute for Quality Education that captured my interest in supporting their work. Deeply embedded in the heart of every training class is the intent to prepare parents to be education leaders and advocates for their children throughout their entire lives. While many of the parents who first participated in the PIQE program were not proficient in English and may not have had many years of formal education, they had a desire and they had leaders who planned a program around what those parents needed to learn about the education system. The parents didn't know, after all, what they were missing.
Take a moment to read more about PIQE on its website, look at their video presentation highlighted below in our Media Links, and listen to today's lively, exciting and deeply motivational conversation with David Valladolid. For us at Birth2Work, his message is a perfect echo of our view that no matter what stakeholder role you have, you can see what needs to be done and respond. Rev. Mardirosian didn't start out to be an education visionary. He was a successful pastor. But the need that so many members of his church called out for was a strong voice that could help them help their own children do better in an education system they knew little about. Rev. Mardirosian spoke up and helped build a powerful set of tools for local schools, communities and families who were just starting out in a new education system, to help guide their children's education for a life time. David Valladolid continues that work today with wisdom and passion for the future of PIQE throughout the United States.
Come and browse our website. Meet other stakeholder leaders like David Valladolid and Rev. Vahac Mardirosian on the radio and be inspired. Every day people are making a difference. Join us!

most strippers arent going home with guys they look at as suckers and random johns, a lot of them are lesbians and into women only, and also depending on where you live strip clubs are usually just brothels where you can pay one of the women to give you handjobs or sex in the private dance so you dont need to bother dating them, the strip club is a place you go to buy handjobs at after getting high and drunk in the parking lot not really a place you regularly go to pick up dates, if one of the wh0res who lets men grope her all day long and takes loads to her face from strangers decides she wants to date you great but that shouldnt be the main reason you go there
LostSomewhereInSpace (7983.10)
any of you guys wanting to date trannys need to just admit you are a gay guy, i refuse to believe that you are a true heterosexual who has just been tricked by the mainstream media and the left into believing that banging a guy up the ass is the same as being with a woman cause if thats really the case then sh1t has really hit the fan and they can get you to believe and do anything now

"In 10 years I never heard one complaint from any leaker about the Thumbs Up or Down option being a problem. It was a powerful, simplistic, free speech communication tool. But obviously you and your minions fragile ego's received one down thumb too many, and made pulling the (Down Thumb) plug a #1 priority. Now the community consensus pretty much just hit's the block button on those offending members. I don't suppose it might have occurred to you dwankies, that if you felt so strongly about this issue, you could have let the L.L. Community vote on whether they wanted the Down Thumb option removed. Rather than your inner minority deciding arbitrarily for the rest of us. Just when one couldn't imagine the definition of (Pathetic) ever being exceeded, LL raises the bar."
Please visit the Staff Blog "THUMBS!" and THUMB MY POST there UP! I would like to say you have the option to Thumb it down, but you don't. :)

September 26, 2016
Dickie Jones, Blinn College's Associate of Applied Sciences (AAS) welding instructor, literally helped write the book on welding curriculum. Now he is preparing to expand Blinn College's welding training capabilities and meet the fast-growing demand of students across the Brazos Valley.
Formerly the Director of Human Resources and the Training Director for Fluor Corp., the largest engineering and construction company in the Fortune 500 rankings, Jones has decades of experience in identifying the skills companies around the globe demand from professional welders. Now he is bringing that experience to Blinn College's welding students.
According to ongoing research by the national Business Roundtable, Construction Users Roundtable, and the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), there is a need for more than 181,000 welders in the U.S., as more welders leave the trade via retirement or other interests than are being replaced.
To meet the demand, Blinn College offers a 60-credit hour Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in welding technology with national recognition from NCCER, whose curriculum Jones helped develop. All welding processes are taught in accordance to welding codes established by the American Welding Society (AWS). Approximately 20 percent of the program is spent in the classroom, with the remaining 80 percent spent in hands-on instruction.
The AAS degree plan includes courses in oxy-fuel welding and cutting, shielded metal arc (stick) welding, gas metal arc (MIG) welding, gas tungsten arc (TIG) welding, and pipe welding. The program also includes a welding internship in partnership with local companies.
Students who complete the welding AAS degree graduate with 1,776 hours of specialized instruction, and meet the national standards set by NCCER and AWS.
On their way to a degree, Blinn students can earn Level I and II certificates and an occupational skills award. To earn the occupational skills award, students must complete introductory courses in oxy-fuel welding and cutting, shield metal arc welding, and gas metal arc welding.
Blinn's Level I Basic Welding Certificate includes 26 credit hours, with courses in oxy-fuel welding and cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, and blueprint reading. The Level II Welding Fundamentals Certificate requires an additional 14 credit hours, and includes courses in gas tungsten arc welding, pipe welding, and an internship course.
"Blinn's welding courses are open to anyone, but these courses are specifically designed for individuals who plan to establish a career in welding or upgrade their current skills," Jones said. "If you complete the AAS program, you will have achieved highly marketable skills that prepare you for most employment qualification tests, and will hold nationally recognized industry credentials."
For students interested in non-credit welding training opportunities, Blinn offers courses in shielded arc metal, gas metal arc, gas tungsten arc, and pipe welding. Non-credit students can earn 120-hour certificates in shielded metal arc, gas metal arc, and gas tungsten arc welding, and earn a 420-hour welding technology certificate that includes the shielded metal arc, gas metal arc and gas tungsten arc welding certificates, plus a 60-hour pipe welding course.
Welders often earn between $20 and $25 per hour, and with plenty of overtime opportunities available, skilled workers can earn between $70,000 and $80,000 per year.
"The more procedures you can weld in, the more money you can earn," Jones said. "If you can only perform stick welding, you won't earn as much as the welder who can perform stick and TIG welding. Our program ensures that each graduate has the well-rounded skills base to maximize their earnings potential."
To meet increased demand, Blinn plans to expand its welding training capabilities with the addition of seven new welding booths at its Highway 60 Training Center, located at 5503 Raymond Stotzer Parkway. Once the additional booths are installed in Bryan, Blinn will work to add the welding technology AAS degree at Brenham's A.W. Hodde, Jr., Technical Education Center.
"We are filling our welding classes both day and night, in Bryan and in Brenham," Jones said. "We have an outstanding, nationally recognized curriculum in place, and the Brazos Valley is in a region with a high demand for skilled welders. The environment is perfect for Blinn to expand its training capacity."To enroll in future welding courses or learn more about the program, contact Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The return of Spring brings with it more than the warmer weather for some residents of North Carolina; it also ushers in allergy season.
Those who suffer from seasonal allergies know all too well that blooming flowers and trees mean itchy, watery eyes, sneezing and wheezing.
If you are among those who suffer from seasonal allergies, you may have a long season ahead of you. Experts have predicted higher than normal pollen counts this year, which adds up to a more difficult allergy season ahead.
There are ways you can help lessen the severity of your allergy symptoms that don't involve just stocking up on allergy medication and tissue.
The EPA suggests the following tips for surviving allergy season. Keep reading for how Weathermaster can help you with cleaning your indoor air.
1. Reduce the source of allergens such as animal dander, house plants, etc.
2. Remove anything that introduces or collects allergens in your home. To start, fix leaky faucets, remove carpet or rugs and control dust.
3. Leave your windows closed during allergy season. However, you need to ventilate properly to bring outdoor air indoors and remove indoor allergens.
4. Clean your indoor air.
How to Clean Your Indoor Air
As the EPA suggested, one way to alleviate your allergy symptoms is by cleaning your indoor air.
Many people assume that the air filter in their heating and cooling system is intended to clean the air in their home, but the air filter is designed to protect the system from dust and debris.
It is the virus-sized particles that you cannot see circulating in your air that you need to worry about. These virus-sized particles include bacteria, allergens, dust and other contaminants and can become a problem for those who have allergies and other respiratory conditions.
Here at Weathermaster, we recommend that our customers who suffer from allergies, asthma, hay fever or other breathing difficulties consider installing an Air Purification system in their homes.
A quality air purification system can help to reduce dust, pet dander and other tiny particles in your air that a typical air filter cannot remove alone.
If you've never considered the benefits of installing an air purification system in your home, we urge you to contact your local HVAC company to learn more.
For more information about the benefits of air purification systems or indoor air quality, visit our website or contact us at Weathermaster today. If you live near our Raleigh, North Carolina service area, we would be happy to take care of all of your plumbing needs.

4007 Chapter 7. Yellow jacket
Chapter 7. Yellow jacket
Mike and Frank headed out among the snow towards the Lake; passing the Shamrock pumps heading down towards the lake; Bill was just looking out the window at the same time seeing how much snow was still fallen, then spotted the two heading towards the lake. Bill's face was almost white watching them, thinking about the two boys, Helen had told him about it just a few minutes earlier. Bill would only turn a pale color when he was bothered with something, Helen walk up behind him knowing something was wrong dropping her head down when she looked out seeing the two walking shaking her head no.
Bill had just turned around to Helen, embracing her. Helen couldn't' hold back as her tears rolled down her cheeks, Bill brushed them back with his thumbs; brushing back her curly white hair.
"I'll call Lloyd if you want?" Bill said to her in a low voice almost broken, Helen looked up with a small nod saying ok, kissing him on the cheek turning away slowly headed back to the counter still wiping her tears from her cheeks. Bill right behind her picking up the phone looking again at her wiping her tears just knowing this couldn't happen again not after all they been thru.
Lloyd was just up at the Ski-Lodge, Just past the big Pine Trees not to far away, Picking up the phone on the second ring.
"Lloyd here' How's everything down there?"
"Lloyd' Bill – We might have a problem"
"Ok' Bill: what kind of problem? We might have?"
"A couple of boys may have wandered off"
"Ok' and How – long have they been gone?"
"Not sure how long"
"Are the Parents there Now?"
"No, The boy's Father's went looking by the lake"
"Ok' Bill' you and Helen just hang in there I'll be down in a few shakes so just take it easy and relax there probably in the area playing somewhere will find them"
"Helen's a little upset and taking this one a little hard"
"Ok. Just stay with her and I'll be right down"
"Thanks Lloyd"
Bill Hung up the Phone standing looking around the store and back to Helen leaning on the counter holding a tissue trying to help a customer.
Lloyd hurry around gathering his gear together, with a quick look making sure he got what he needed he quickly heading out the door seeing the snow on the ground and Jeep already covered. Brushing off the door handle getting inside quick before the snow fell on him, throwing the gear to across the seat as he wiped his wet hand off on his pant leg, while starting the motor. Wiper's on and heater on full clearing the window flashing amber light casting off the trees and snow, then started heading down towards the Campground.
Driving thru the pines Lloyd could only think back Reminiscing past times when it all started. Bill's father and grandfather just after the war turn an old hunting cabin area into a camping resort. The Resort brought campers from all over to enjoying the clear lake water, along with the tall pine trees and great fishing.
Stone fireplaces were built on double lot sites that Lloyd helped build. Hard wood pine trees from each site that was cleared were used to make tables, newer trailer spots getting electricity.
Taking great pride in helping build some of those sites, the sound of the wind and cascading water from the mountains behind the cabin, amidst its long tall pine trees, mixed white birch and chestnut trees towards the lake area gave an essence of serenity during the night
Helen and Bill waiting for Lloyd in the store drinking a cup of coffee while checking out the Weather Reports; The door bell went off with some snow coming in, Janet with Jamie step inside with a quick look up at them shacking off the snow not seeing anyone else in the store.
"Hi, I was looking for my husband and his friend"
"Sure they were here about 15 minutes ago, or so" Bill softly spoke up. "Looking for two boy's"
"That's always together, everyone thinks their brothers"
"Yes that's them Shawn and Mike"
"Your husband and Mr. Loran went down by the lake a little while ago, but we haven't seen them come back up yet, did the boys come back ok?"
"No they haven't return and now their Fathers have gone off too!"
"It's getting very cold out there"
"My husband off to a lake and he's missing now! This is just great, just great, They just had to come out here camping."
Amber Lights flashed into the store window, looking around out the window: Lloyd arrived not a minute to late, in his Red jeep. At 6'2, 240 lb. with his heavy coat on he looked even bigger, if it weren't a fur coat you would swear he was a big brown bear. Lloyd looked over the skidoo's setting just outside the store, placing a bundle on one of them before going inside, while Inside the fore were waiting hoping he say something, Jamie was looking around the store, Bill knowing if Lloyd had seen anybody he would've brought them in. The bell started ringing as Lloyd entered stopping his feet off, glancing above his eyebrows at everyone looking up at him.
"Hey' Lloyd you see anybody on your way in?"
"No' only Snow what did you here on the lost Boy's anything?"
"You know they were missing!" Janet quickly spoke out.
"Mrs. Marcus' this is Lloyd from the Ski lodge"
"What about my 'Husband? Did you know they are lost to?"
"As soon as we know something we'll let you know."
"That's not to reassuring"
Lloyd stood by the counter trying not to say much to her, knowing she was very upset and that's just going to get everyone on edge at this point.
"Mom' we should get back' Joey's' going to go real nutty soon"
"He's not the only one" Both turn heading to the door.
"Will get back to you' as soon as we hear something" Bill quickly said as the bell went off, Jamie looked up at the bell and held the door open, Lloyd stayed by the counter next to Helen reassuring her he was there to help.
"Will be over at the Loran's camper, do you know where that is?" Janet Said: sarcastic back standing in the doorway.
"Yes' Yes Loran's on 18B … ok "
"Mom" Jamie trying to get her out of the store, zipping up her jacket embarrassed, both slowly leaving towards the campers they watch them past the driveway lights.
Lloyd watched them leave while placing his jacket on the deer head next to the counter.
"We've got the Fathers and Sons lost in the snow now?"
"Right": Bill, nodding moving away from the window.
"Want some coffee Lloyd?" Helen asked feeling better at ease.
"Please' that'll be great warm up the old body here"
"The lakes not fully frozen over, no one's been on it"
"Good they won't try to cross it, that's one good thing"
"We don't know where the two boys, wandered off too"
"Everything been checked out even asked around the game room but no one has seen them that they can recall"
Helen handed Lloyd his coffee while pointing to the Back cabin; Bill and Lloyd headed thru the door, Helen walk to the door looking out before turning the sign on the door to Ring bell for service. Bill already went and got the tapes out on the game room activities. Lloyd sat down on the log chair across from the big screen, Bill placed the tape in ready then sat down on the log couch picking up the remote swinging its long cable to one side.
Helen hinting to Bill to move down a little without saying anything to him, quickly sliding over on the couch, moving his coffee over on the table. Lloyd reach over taking the remote turning the mixed sounds to Muted, running in slow motion while sipping hot coffee not seeing much in the begin fast forward only stopping a few times looking it over, sitting on the edge of the chair; Black and white video of all the kids playing, checking the clocks time on the wall. Lloyd watched the video rewinding then stopping a few more times without seeing anything out of the ordinary with the game room, his hand held firm on chin only moving it to drink coffee.
"Want that warmed up?" Helen asked.
"Yes' Please Helen" handing Helen his coffee empty cup.
"Did you see anything on those tapes?" Bill asked hoping he did.
"What about the Police?"
"We haven't called them till we talked with you"
"There's nothing here that looks like foul play from any campers"
"Were in for a good storm according to the weather reports"
"It's a big one coming in alright, how many Campers do you have this weekend?
"Almost thirty and most of them have kids"
"Winter Break for most kids, getting in what they can before the Holidays and snow really starts"
"Well it's winter and kids are off for two weeks"
Both stopped as Helen walk in with coffee on a tray.
"What about the Husbands?" Helen Asked: Handing each one.
"If by chance they walked around the Lake it's a good ten miles"
"Bill if they walked around the Lake they might have gotten about two miles in this snow before stopping, hopefully they both are heading back by now"
"We might have to check on them it's been about an hour or more, we could check the lake trail area"
"That's a good idea, in the meantime will have to call the State Police just to inform them of our miss hap."
"Call the State Police" Helen replied quickly getting flustered.
"Let's hope we don't need them, but if we do"
"What about a Rescue team Lloyd?" Bill asked out quick.
"The two boys maybe' but let the Police check it out and will go from there"
"Skidoo's are ready to go outside"
"Ok' I'll call the state Police, and then take a quick ride down by the lake trail, should be able to spot them easy"
Heading back to the store area, Lloyd placed his empty cup on the counter and phoned the State Police, while Bill embraced Helen again wiping her small tears away. Lloyd looked up at the two knowing they were upset, placing his arm on Helen shoulder replying "Ok' first, and foremost you two, No way is this a repeat so don't even think it is!, Helen' you going to be all right? Will find them you see"
"Yes' I'll be fine Lloyd, It's just the young boys, I was thinking of" Helen said; trying to hold back more tears from her chin.
"Ok' It might be a long night, so keep the coffee hot"
"Ok' the Skidoo's are ready to go"
Lloyd put on his big jacket and headed outside checking the stick placed in the snow, while Helen watched from the window. Lloyd moved his gear stripping it on then started it up casting light off the snow towards the lake warming up, moving his hand back and forth brushing off the seat, then drove off with the Snow pushing upward behind.
"I'm going over to the Loren's camper; the Police will want to talk to them so I'll tell them it's just a precaution"
"Ok' be careful it might be slippery"
Bill took his jacket bending the collar upward heading outside.

We'd love to share with you an exclusive interview with our Photoion Photography Awards Book First Place Winner- Craig Brady!
I'm a bit of a gadget geek with an artistic flair, so photography (and cameras) appeal to both sides.
My passion for travel is what got me started, in particular my first trip to Kenya. Somewhere along the way I went from taking a camera on holiday to going on photography holidays with a camera bag weighing almost 20kg!
I got my first DSLR camera in 2009 but it was probably a year later before I really started learning how to use it!
Haha I would have to say Ion Paciu! His passion and enthusiasm for photography was the catalyst that really ignited my own passion for the art. Otherwise almost every 'semi-pro' wildlife photographer I've met has inspired me in some way.
I can't narrow this down to just one – you could pretty much take any of the finalists in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year (any year) or any number of the amazing images that make cover of National Geographic.
Currently I have a Nikon D600 with
Nikon 50mm f1.8
Nikon 24-120 f4
Sigma 105 macro
Sigma 120-300 f2.8
Sigma 1.4 and 2x teleconverters
And recently a Canon G16 with Ikelite dive housing
Wildlife photography will always be my favourite.
I initially tried to self-learn (not very well!) and picked up some bad habits. My first beginners/intermediate course with Ion corrected those and gave me direction on how to learn and some of the tools to do so. It was a year later when I did the advanced course that really pulled everything together for me in terms of being able to break down photographic challenges and really think about how to tackle them.
Wow that's a really tough question – so many possibilities. If it happens in my lifetime I would love to be there to photograph the first person to set foot on Mars.
I am absolutely chuffed! This will be the first time any of my images have been printed in a book (let alone 5 of them) and it's even better that this is a book created by Photoion as that's where I started. I think I will be buying a few extra copies!
I've recently started underwater photography, and being back in NZ I have a lot of projects planned around landscape photography, but my long term goal is to strive towards a 'fine art' style of wildlife photography.

Head Tilting Detection (or Automatic Page Turner for Pianists, still undecided about the name 😛 ) is a simple software that emits a Page Down/Up keypress when the user is tilting the head.
Since I started learning piano, more than 10 years ago, I had the problem of turning pages. Turning pages is one of the most annoying thing for a pianist: it forces you to waste seconds, interrupt the flow of music, and it affects the way we learn the pieces (e.g. by making the connection between pages really poor, since we usually stop from a page to the next). Several alternatives exist for turning pages automatically, but they are clumsy and inefficient. Recently I thought about applying my programming knowledge to this purpose.
As more and more pianists are switching from paper to digital scores, it is possible to use a machine learning approach. I designed a simple software that detects when you are tilting your head right/left, and "scroll" down the page accordingly by simulating a page down/up keypress, with in most software will scroll the window down/up - in Adobe PDF, if you "fill one full-page to window", you will turn a whole page (to next/previous one).
Update 28/03/2016: New version for Linux released. You can now rotate/flip your webcam viewer. The sound now works on Windows machine.
WINDOWS 32/64bit (tested on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1)
Download Head Tilting Detection (no setup required) - for Windows
LINUX (tested on Ubuntu 15.10)
Download Head Tilting Detection (no setup required) - for Linux
open folder in terminal and type sudo ./HeadTiltingDetection.sh. This bash file will download and install xdotool if not installed already) and the software will be executed.
Open the software, wait for the your face to be detected (a green rectangle around your face should appear), then wait for your eyes to be detected (red squares).
At this point select the application you want to send the keypress (for example, a pdf file).
When you tilt the head on one side, the corresponding arrow key signal will be emitted. A green circle should appear on the corresponding side of the camera view, and you should hear a specific sound for the direction you are tilting your head (you can disable the sound).
Adjust the threshold from the slider, disable the sound, or pause the detection from the user interface.
Key points
- The software is designed for pianists, so with more or less constant level of light, by taking into account slow/random movement, and by considering that pages are usually not turned so often. Plus, instead of just "turning" your page, it will scroll down on the page, with in most of the cases is what you want.
- For now, the software does not work if you wear glasses. I will maybe work on this in the future.
- The software uses a Haar feature-based cascade classifiers, with template matching for tracking the eyes, and several heuristics to increase accuracy. A cubic function of the two eyes' degree is used to emit the keypress. The threshold for the keypress can be adjusted.
The software has been tested on Windows 7, 8, 8.1. For now there is only a Window version, but I may develop it for other platform in the future.(28/03/16) Linux: Ubuntu version released
Future work
The software is not perfect. Unfortunately, I do not have many hours to dedicate to it. I plan to keep work on it, but not consistently. I'll probably add to this post any minor updates, and create new posts only if there is a major improvement. If you want to collaborate with me for this project, feel free to contact me!
The software uses OpenCV (for the computer vision part) and Qt. It was very nice working with Qt again after so long, and discovering OpenCV was also very interesting. I have a very good opinion about both in terms of usability and capability. Managing to merge both systems was an excellent experience for me.

Als ich im Mai 2014 beruflich für wenige Tage in den Nordosten Chinas nach Shenyang gereist bin, habe ich es selbstverständlich nicht versäumt, auch eine Kamera mit einzupacken. Trotz engen Terminplans ergaben sich zwei Möglichkeiten, sie auch zu nutzen. Zum einen bin ich an einem Morgen in aller Frühe in den neben dem Hotel gelegenen "Youth Park" gegangen und das andere Mal bin ich nach dem Abendessen nochmal raus auf die Strasse. Entstanden sind zwei Serien mit je 5 Photos, in denen ich versucht habe, ein wenig von dem Leben in Shenyang einzufangen. http://joergkemminer.zenfolio.com/shenyang
As I have been in Shenyang, China for a business trip in May 2014, I of course took a camera with me. Despite a tough time schedule, there have been two possibilities for me to use it. First I have been in the "Youth Park" next to the Hotel very early in the morning and secondly I entered the nightly streets of Shenyang one evening after dinner. The outcome has been two series of 5 photos each, which try to catch a little bit of the life in Shenyang. http://joergkemminer.zenfolio.com/shenyang

Steph, I'm so sorry you are going through this--it sounds like--alone. I'm puzzled by your having problems getting the Effexor rx refilled---I am also on it and it took about a year of trying different dosages to figure out what combo I needed to feel like myself again. Turns out, I take 375 mg Effexor and 100 mg Wellbutrin daily. It gives me no giddiness; just makes me feel NORMAL. Could you either be more demanding of your onc team or maybe ask for a referral to a psychiatrist (who can write rx's)? Those ads on tv about depression are REAL. When you don't feel like yourself, it is VERY CRUMMY. Good luck--sounds like you'll have to be proactive on this--but it will be worth it! I will be thinking of you!
Breast Cancer Questions
Suddenly very depressed and sad; been through chemo, surgery and now starting rads & feel like I've hit a wall
Asked by Steph921 on Friday, June 7, 2013
Suddenly very depressed and sad; been through chemo, surgery and now starting rads & feel like I've hit a wall
Hi everyone, I'm just a month shy of a year since dx, have had chemo, bilatteral masc, what they thought was a recurrance but wasn't, and have just started rads on Tuesday of this week. I've been doing pretty well through most of the journey but all of a sudden feel like I've hit an emotional wall. I was taking Effexor for about 4 months but for some reason am having a hard time getting it refilled, although I discussed with onc, even upping the dose. I'm still working full time because I'm single, paycheck to paycheck, and don't want to be homeless. I owe money to onc, rad, hosp, etc, even though I have good ins, this is some expensive stuff! When I get home all I do is cry and/or sleep. I'm at my wit's end and don't know what to do? Maybe it's hormonal or just stress I don't know. Any advice will be appreciated greatly! Thanks for letting me vent!!

I think this is normal - many of us go through this - I sure as heck did. Took me a while to refind my balance, I guess. AND - hormones played a HUGE role in how I was feeling. I went to see about hormone replacement therapy, and they asked me questions about common complaints about onset of menopause - the big one - every thing feels like crap. Yup - I said - that's how I feel.
I'm so sorry you are feeling this way - for me, it got loads better with time... Now, I just have this background anxiety about recurrence etc... But, I'm otherwise doing well and feeling good in life.
I hope this helps.
PS - I'm almost two years from initial diagnosis.
This is normal, I've been through it several times, it just part of the journey. Speak to your oncologist about getting a Pharma consult with someone who specializes in treating cancer patients I did, to help find the right meds and doses that work for you. My hsopital has a free 12 week program that matches cancer patients with therapist who are trained to help. It was very helpful. Check with social services or your onc to see what your treatment center offers.
As for money - many hospitals have programs to help people who have problems paying their bills, see yours has one. Also here a site that provides information about organizations that provide financial, grants, etc for people with medical issues. Also call the companies that make your meds, most phrma companies have assistance programs -I know, I received free chemo from both Novartis & Pfizer
Best of luck, please keep us posted.
There is plenty of reason for you feeling the way that you do -- you are going through XXX on earth! However, you can get help -- remember that you are a special and unique person and you deserve the best of care -- do not be afraid to be your own advocate and request the meds and treatment that you need to feel like a human again. I wish you the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, Steph - Don't think you're alone hitting this wall. Look to your left, now look to your right. Yup, what you are seeing are the millions of dents left by cancer patients before you. Mine's the one with the mouth wide open screaming and the doubled up fists! I did everything in my power to stay positive and upbeat, my mother was upset enough for all of us. I have suffered from depression for many, many years. So, my medical team was concerned about what this would do to me. So l added a therapist to my growing list of doctors. She was wonderful because she had been there. Don't get me wrong, it was no tiptoe through the tulips, but I worked hard to stay above the major depression line. After my lumpectomy and axillary disection of 36 lymph nodes, (yes I said 36), the man I thought loved me decided that it was just too much for him to handle. So after my second chemo treatment, I moved 5 hours south to be with my family, friends and a great support system. But, I still had my days. I will never forget the day when I was done with chemo but still getting zapped, I walked in the front room and broke down. I told my momma that I was done, I just couldn't do it any more. My body had been invaded by a monster that really wanted me dead. I had willingly let a surgeon put a piece of plastic in my body so that people could inject me with dangerous chemicals and now I was letting people bombard me with crazy amounts of radiation!!!! I QUIT!!! NO MORE!!! That was when I hit the wall in a big way. So my momma, being the loving genius that she is, held me close, let me cry and told me to blow my nose. She told me that if I wanted to quit she would support me. But, did I really want to quit or was I just sick and tired of being sick and tired? Told you she's a genius. So, long story short, I finished my radiation, suffered through the after effects of chemo and held my head high. You are going to be fine! Call the American Cancer Society and get ready to be amazed at the sheer number of foundations, companies, individuals and medical companies that are waiting to help you. I know I was. Most hospitals have "charity" programs made for people just like us. I had to use the one at my local hospital when I had to have both knees replaced thanks to chemo. You will get through this. Make sure you have a good support system and people that love you. If you need to scream, scream. If you feel like crying, cry. But don't let it take over your life. Smell the flowers and laugh when life gives you lemons. Oh, one last thing. We are always here for you. I hoped this helped or at least made you smile. If not, just tell me to shut up, I won't, but you can still tell me. <3 ;)
After all you have been through, the roller coaster ride of courage, fear, yes I can, no I can't...it is common for us to have episodes of PTSS, depression, and just plain emotional fatigue. Good time to gather your support group, let them be your temporary angels. Lots of help at large, guided imagery, nurturing meditation tapes, medications. Whatever you do for you to support yourself through this mine field of treatment and side effects is your right. Choose to spoil yourself, all the best for you from us.
You are receiving wonderful responses and suggestions here, let me reiterate that you are not alone in these feelings...please take some of these suggestions and act on them, the financial stress alone is causing you so much emotional turmoil...I realize you need to work but is there any chance you could take a day off ( in nursing school we were all allowed two "mental health" days) to do something for you that you would enjoy...go to breakfast or lunch with a friend , go to a movie (a funny one), my cancer center offers massages at an unbelievable discount, maybe something like that would help you relax a bit...I am sending you positive thoughts and will keep you in my prayers. God bless!
Go to your mental health doctor and get off that Effexor. That is some nasty stuff and it's no wonder you have hit an emotional wall. That stuff raises your blood pressure and can affect your kidneys. Try Prozac or Cymbalta or some other anti-depressant. You are having these problems because of the stress in your life and who wouldn't with having to deal with cancer and work too. You have a lot on your plate with bills and stuff too. Contact the American Cancer Society and get information from them on the types of financial help that IS available to you. I have a book I got that lists all the financial help available to people like us who have a lot of medical bills and can't pay them. I am going to start calling on Monday to see if I can get some help because we are on a fixed income and can't pay them so they are being turned over to collection. Here is one site you can go to www.hrsa.gov/hillburton or[phone number redacted]. Also Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act www.cdc.gov/cancer/nbccedp/legislation/law106-354.htm and Patient Advocate Foundation www.patientaccessnetwork.org or[phone number redacted]. Hope this helps you some?
SueRae1 that is a good answer. I forgot about the hospital Financial Social Worker who could probably help too. I am going through them as well. Have to provide our tax return before they can go any further, but you are right. She needs to find a counselor that can help her as a cancer patient with her meds. I know I have one and he recently put me on a new drug called Latuda and it is working wonders, but I have bi-polar disorder so it is a different situation. You are one smart lady and I always enjoy reading your answers.
I have always been a very strong, positive person - "half glass full" kind of gal - a cheerleader for my family, students, co-workers. I hit my wall 2 1/2 years after completion of all of my treatments. My dr said it's very common for cancer patients to look back on what all we've been through & have issues with depression or PTSS. He prescribed a low dose of Lexapro for me & I'm doing so much better. I had never fought with depression in my life - just another inconvenience of this terrible disease!! As far as your medical expenses left after insurance pays - there are many resources for you. I would start by talking with a social worker where you go for your follow up care. They should have alot of information for you - all in one place!! ACS is also another great resource - you can call their toll free number 24/7 & speak with a real person!! Get a handle on the finances so that you can remove that stress from your plate & concentrate on your health!!! Best of luck to you - feel free to keep in touch with me.
I have been there too, girlfriend! We are so strong and brave when we feel that we need to be, but sometimes it just hits you out of the blue, doesn't it, that you are really going through quite a large thing. Please take comfort that you are not alone, and reach out when you need to - also, I have found that it is helpful to try to refocus from time to time - I know that I find solace in painting, music, even house cleaning - just anything to focus my mind on a different task - might be worth a shot...I'm not suggesting that you go as far as cleaning....Lord, no...but I am certain you can find your own brand of refocusing. Please know that you can do this!

The first preference is to try and place the child into the care of a relative or a family member. The assessment process is similar to the general one used for Foster Carers, although in rare cases, children can be placed with relatives living in a different country.
In April 2015, there were almost 6000 children living in foster care in Ireland according to Tusla and 31% of the children in foster care were living with their relatives.
If however, a suitable relative or a person the child knows cannot be identified, general foster care options are considered. On a long term placement, children can live with their Foster Families for most of their lives, whereas short-term placements are usually offered in cases of emergency.

Why Do Concept Cars Remain As Concept Cars?
Go to any major motor show in the world and you can be sure to see a number of things; smiling long-legged women in sponsored clothing, hi-tech lighting and white plinths, and of course a smattering of eccentric and eye-catching concept cars. But why do so many of these unique designs – the concept cars, not the ladies – fail to make that next step, from concept to production?
The name is a bit of a give-away admittedly; concept cars are for the main ideas on four wheels. They are designed and produced to demonstrate a new approach, to test out new technology, or often just simply to get the press flashbulbs going and ensure people are talking about that particular manufacturer.
Some concept cars, such as the Audi Nanuk Quattro showcased in Frankfurt this year, are relatively subtle, designed to explore a slight tweak in set-up, others however are much more extreme, and offer a significant challenge to insurance firms, even short term car insurance company. In 2011 Toyota unveiled the Fun-vii in Tokyo which was described by the company's President Akio Toyoda as a smart-phone on wheels, albeit one that looked like an oversized computer mouse gone rogue.
The interior colour scheme of the Fun-vii could be changed and altered to suit your mood, whilst the exterior of the car was in effect a huge display screen able to show any image or message. The Fun-vii was even designed to be capable of driving itself; try taking out temporary car insurance for a test drive in that?
It sounds outlandish, but it could be argued that the Fun-vii was just ahead of its time, especially as Toyota have form when it comes to pioneering new technology way ahead of the curve. At the Tokyo Motor Show in 1975 Toyota demonstrated a hybrid-electric concept car, and though it may not have taken off back then, come 1993, this technology had been refined enough to launch the Prius, a dream car for owners seeking low one day car insurance on the Asian and American markets.
Some vehicles will only ever be destined to be concepts, and if you want to pick out which then elaborate angular bodywork or lots of glass and chrome should give you an early heads up. However, as the industry moves onwards into newer technology, the chances of concept cars becoming production cars do seem to be increasing.
One response
Wonderful read. Very good points, well-made. I do believe your are spot on.

I don't know how long you've been riding but I still remember the days (1997) when I rode the Terrible Two double century (lots of steep climbs) on a 53-39 and 11-27. And my first tandem was a custom racing Santana that had double chainrings (55-42) and a 11-26 cassette. I went over some steep hills with no bailout gears. Twenty years ago there were no such things as a 36 or 40 I didn't convert to compact rings until 2007. So what gears did heavy cyclists use twenty years ago
