It's 1867, and the Civil War is over. But the blood has just begun to flow.
For Asher Rook, Chess Pargeter, and Ed Morrow, the war has left its mark in tangled lines of association and cataclysmic love, woken hexslinger magic, and the terrible attentions of a dead god. "Reverend" Asher Rook is the unwilling gateway for the Mayan goddess Ixchel to birth her pantheon back into the world of the living, and to do it she'll force Rook to sacrifice his lover and fellow outlaw Chess Pargeter. But being dead won't bar Chess from taking vengeance, and Pargeter will claw his way back out of Hell, teaming with undercover-Pinkerton-agent-turned-outlaw Ed Morrow to wreak it. What comes back into the world in the form of Chess Pargeter is a walking wound, Chess's very presence tearing a crack in the world and reshaping everything around him while Ixchel establishes Hex City, a city state defying the very laws of nature—an act that will draw battle lines between a passel of dead gods and monsters, hexes galore, spiritualists, practitioners of black science, a coalition set against Ixchel led by Allan Pinkerton himself, and everyone unfortunate enough to be caught between the colliding forces. None of which will stop Chess from hunting down Rook, now consort to Ixchel, even if he has to rip the world apart to do it.
With the barriers between worlds crumbling, a new war being waged across the American West, and Ixchel preparing to kick off an Apocalypse fed by shed human blood while Rook plots one, final, redemptive treachery of his own, everything will come down to Chess Pargeter, once again trapped in a nightmarish underworld. But Chess has fought his way out of hell before. . . .
Experience in one omnibus package the series Publishers Weekly called "a top-notch horror-fantasy saga" full of "potent mythology, complex characters, and dollops of creeping horror and baroque gore."

We're on the cusp of releasing the updates for the iPhone app. Pls stay tuned.
We're also working on an iPad app -
How's your experience been w/ the iPhone app so far?
Tom Yoritaka, Director, Cisco Support Community
Hi Tom,
The app is fantastic. I use it on daily basis. The most beautiful thing which I like about this app is. It's always ready and signed in. I don't have to login to my mac, my support account, search for the community, find post, comment and reply. I just open the app and voila! It's all there logged in and ready.
But there are something that irritates, like not able to edit replies, not able to attach more than one pic, not able to read attachments, cannot readily find the posts which I replied to, not able to create/query TAC cases and not able to ASK THE EXPERTS. For which I need to find a computer. If this gets resolved, I believe this app will be THE ONLY ONE of it's kind. Complete in all respects.

The day of days will be the hour
When Christ our Lord, comes back in pow'r,
To catch away His blessed own,
To live for aye around the throne.
The day of days will soon be here,
The blessed time is drawing near;
So let us watch and hope and pray,
And be prepared for that great day.
The day of days will bring to earth
A sacred hour, 'twill stop all mirth;
The foolish the will learn their fate,
"forgive my sins" they'll cry too late.
The day of days is drawing nigh
To this old world we'll say goodbye;
With Christ our King we'll go away,
To shout and sing the livelong day.

Bob Harper's "The Skinny Rules" Book Launch/
Spring with FitFluential this year turned out to be pretty amazing, I got to attend the #FitBlogNYC and met so many wonderful people, I briefly met the Tone It Up! girls, AND I also got the opportunity to go to Bob Harper's launch party for his new book" The Skinny Rules". So much has happened since then, I'm still playing catch-up with all of the FitFluential gloriousness! The launch party was back in mid-May, before the party I met up for a quick dinner at Whole Foods with some of my lovely blogger friends, Meredith from Dare You To, Carlyn from Just Keep Sweating, and Cat from Breakfast to Bed. I made a colorful salad with chopped turkey breast, Caryln had a veggies burger with sweet potato fries, Cat had a nutrition bar, and Meredith had sushi and seaweed (That right there is one of the many reasons I love eating at Whole Foods, there is really something for everyone). We enjoyed our dinner and then met up with Nicole from Making Good Choices.
We headed over to the event, it was held at LAFCO, a beautiful candle and fragrance boutique in New York City. The place smelt really amazing, it was a very unique place to have a book launch. We had a pretty decent sized group of bloggers there. We all chatted and got to know one another better over cocktails. I sipped on Svedka vodka, soda with a splash of cranberry and a lime. They also served beautiful petite passed hors d'oeuvres. They had cauliflower soup shots, mini rice cakes with cheese, spinach and cheese balls, and some sort of small pastry with banana over the top. I didn't have any of the treats because everything seemed to be topped with some sort cheese, but all who did indulge said the food tasted great!
While we waited for Bob to make his appearance, Meredith spotted some former Biggest Loser contestants. She knew exactly who they were and went over to mingle with the weight loss stars, which looked amazing by the way! Bob finally made it to the event, it was so exciting to see him in person! He was very handsome with his facial hair and stylish glasses. His publicist walked him around the room to mingle with all of the important people first. He then gave a small speech mostly just thanking all of the people who helped him write and publish his book. Then after that he made a point to go around and talk to everyone else in the room. I think we were the last people to talk to him since we were all standing near the front of the room. He was very friendly and took a couple minutes to talk to everyone in our group. We all took a lot of great pictures with him, it was all very exciting!
On the way out I received a gift bag with copy of his book "The Skinny Rules", his Total Body Transformation DVD, an adorable Psycho Bunny hat, Eau D'italie bath salts and a lovely scented candle from LAFCO.
In the book Bob reveals the rules of getting and staying skinny. Here is a quick snapshot he from an interview he did with the Huffington Post...
Actually, this isn't only a rule book. Part I of the book is "The Skinny Rules" -- the 20 principles you need to read, understand, and really try to live by. But then I've also created Part II, "The Skinny Way" -- a day- by- day menu plan that will get you through the first 30 days of living by the rules. And Part III, "The Skinny Tools," houses the recipes and tips that you'll be called on to look at, cook, and consume! My intention is to take the guesswork out of losing weight for you. After the first 30 days on the program, you will have lost weight and you'll be more confident in eating and living according to my rules. By then you're likely not going to need all of the handholding I provide in this book. You will be on your way to a skinny life!
- Bob Harper's interview with the Huffington Post
Have you read "The Skinny Rules"? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Consultancy agreements for the self employed
Can we help?
Our employment law team are specialists in advising on consultancy agreements and self-employed contracts. If you would like to retain us as your legal adviser, please refer to the employment contracts page or call us on 0845 225 2635.
Employment status: is this genuine self-employment?
It is very important to ensure that, in terms of the actual reality of the agreement between the parties, (as appose to what is merely written down!) the individual is genuinely self-employed. For more on this, take a look at our section on employment status.
Key terms in a consultancy agreement
Usually in a consultancy agreement you would expect to see:
- Termination provisions setting out notice periods etc. Unlike a contract of employment there is no statutory right to claim unfair dismissal, however there may be claims for damages arising out of wrongful breach;
- Employment status: there is usually a clause which sets out that the parties agree that the individual is self-employed and not an employee or a partner. This is not "determinative" – in other words, just because this is what the parties agree, does not mean that the courts will agree too! Such clauses sometimes contain an indemnity making the individual liable for any costs which arise out of the status being wrongly applied.
- A definition of the services. This can be very important in some circumstances in order to establish whether the contract has been performed properly.
- A "substitutes clause". This is often included as any requirement for the personal service of the individual may make the agreement more like a contract of employment. A substitutes clause determines that the individual may send someone else to do the work. In reality whilst such clauses are included to protect the parties' position it will only be effective if the clause is actually used.
- An insurance clause. Generally speaking it is a good idea for all sorts of reasons if the individual has their own insurance, e.g. public liability insurance. Apart from the protection it offers the individual it also makes the individual "look like" a self employed person as no employee would have such insurance.
What is the risk?
If the parties wrongly attribute self employed status on someone who is actually an employee, there are three principle (substantial) risks:
- The individual may claim unfair dismissal on termination;
- The Inland Revenue may wish to have had tax and national insurance deducted at source and may wish for an account of sums owed;
- The individual may be entitled to holiday pay (this may be so even if they are a "worker" as appose to an employee.

This course we really helpful in understanding the power of Google cloud services I would like to go further with other courses\n\nThanks a lot Andrew Ng and Coursera team and tutors from Google
Jul 03, 2019
Thanks a lot for this course. I like everything especially the labs It's the most interesting part. I can not wait to start applying what I learn in this project to my final project!

First of all, I naturally learned about Dialogflow, what it can do and I got a little preview of how it does it. It was not at all exhausting and I feel like even though there are two bigger projects in this course, neither was truly finished and neither used the full ppotential of the tool. However, the most annoying part is that every lab requires you to configure everything anew, and especially with labs 4 and 5 I did not really see the need to break them into separate parts, since there was little to do in either of them. I do not know if it was only my problem, but for labs 4 and 5 I could not read the instructions, because they did not load. Another thing is that it seems like the GCP changed its interface a little bit since the course was created and they did not update the instructions accordingly. This is not something that will stop you from completing the course, but it's pretty annoying and somewhat time-consuming. I liked the first week a lot better than the second, because I did not experience any technical problems with it and I felt like I could have really gotten a hands-on experience with Dialogflow.

The lab activities were not that well prepared. I believe this course should be longer. The hour and a half intended for each lab is not enough to fully explore all of DialogFlow features.

Wrestling Meeting Today
Don't forget, we are meeting today to clean up the locker room and hand in equipment. We will also be voting for captains. Meet in the locker room right after school.
Thanks, Coach
Warriors in the News
Hey All,
I'm pleased to share two articles about our wrestlers and their accomplishments this season. The first article is about the Class L tournament and our four open qualifiers.
Wilton Qualifies Four for Opens
The second article highlights Nick Rende's 100th win. As I wrote in an earlier post, Nick's 100th win is special for many reasons, not the least of which is achieving it in only three seasons. Nick is one of only two wrestlers that we know for sure have reached the 100 win plateau. Congratulations to Nick on this momentous achievement.
I hope to see many of you at the Open Tournament this weekend!
Thanks, Coach Foldeak
CIAC State Open Information
Hey All,
4 Warriors (Travis, Finn, Nick, and Zach) will be competing at the Connecticut State Open Tournament this Friday and Saturday.
Information is posted below.
Please come out and support them as they wrestle this Friday and Saturday in New Haven!
Thanks, Coach Foldeak
Class L Wrap Up
Hey All,
Congratulations to all of our wrestlers. I am extremely proud of everyone on this team and thankful for all the support from parents and friends. The tournament was a big one for our team:
Congratulations to Nick Rende on his 100th win! 100 wins is a big accomplishment in 4 years. To do it in 3 years showcases just how talented Nick is.
Congratulations to Sabrina Hartz on a big win in the tournament. One of the biggest rewards of this sport is seeing hard work and perseverance pay off!
Thanks to Greyson Kennedy for his time, support and dedication to the team. We will miss him next year.
Congratulations to all our place-winners! These four will continue next week at the Connecticut State Open Tournament in New Haven (link below.) I will post brackets when they become available.
106 Travis Longo – 3rd
113 Finn McGovern – 5th
126 Nick Rende – 3rd
170 Zach Zeyher – 4th
All wrestlers will meet after school at our normal practice time. We will discuss how the rest of the week will play out.
Thanks again,
Coach Foldeak
Class L Seeds
Here is the link to the seeds for the Class L tournament.
CIAC Class L Tournament
We will be attending the Class L tournament on Friday and Saturday, February 17th and 18th. I will be attending the seeding meeting tomorrow evening. I will post the seeds as soon as they become available.
Here are the logistics:
- We will meet at the school on Friday for a 1:00 bus to Bristol Central.
- Weigh-ins begin at2:45.
- The first round of wrestling begins at 4:45.
- We will only wrestle 2 rounds on Friday night. The first round of consolation matches will take place Saturday morning.
- We will likely finish wrestling between 8:00 and 9:00 Friday night.
- We ask that parents be available to bring wrestlers home Friday night.
- We do not have a bus for Saturday morning. We will again need parent help in driving the wrestlers to Bristol. Weigh-ins begin at 8:00 am on Saturday, and we should plan on arriving by 7:30 for weight check.
As always, many thanks for parents for your help in getting kids to and from these events. Our experience is that this is the best way to accomplish this. Wrestlers who have completed competition can get home and get some rest to prepare for the next day.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Thanks! Coach Foldeak

The minimum system requirements to run Windows 8 Share Pin Email Print Windows Installing & Upgrading Basics Guides & Tutorials Tips & Tricks Key Concepts by Melanie Pinola This busy telecommuter practically lives in the cloud. Updated November 11, 2019 57 57 people found this article helpful Microsoft stopped mainstream support of Windows 8.1 on January 9, 2018, and will end extended support on January 10, 2023. Windows 10 is Microsoft's newest operating system, but this article remains for archival purposes. Upgrading to Windows 8 should be a smooth transition most of the time. However, if you have an old computer, use the information below to be sure if an upgrade to Windows 8 is practical given your hardware situation. See our article on how to upgrade to Windows 10 if you'd rather do that. pix1861 / Pixabay Windows 8 Minimum System Requirements These are the minimum system requirements, for Windows 8, according to Microsoft: Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or fasterRAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver Below are some additional requirements that are needed in order for Windows 8 to run certain features, like touch. Some of these reminders are obvious but it's still necessary to point them out. A tablet or monitor that supports multitouch.Windows Store apps require a screen resolution of at least 1024x768, and to snap apps you'll need a 1366x768 screen resolution.However, if you have an unusual screen resolution like the netbooks default 1024x600, use this registry hack to adjust the resolution so you can run Windows 8 (or just get a higher-res display).Internet access is required to download new features and update security-related information from Windows Update.Some games/applications only run at full capacity if used with graphics cards with DirectX 10 or higher.DVD playing software is not included by default in Windows 8, so you have to download your own program either from the Windows Store or through a third-party website.For Windows 8.1 Pro users, BitLocker To Go requires a USB flash drive.A TV tuner is needed to record live TV in Windows Media Player. Before you upgrade to Windows 8, you should definitely make sure your laptop or desktop PC meets the minimum requirements, and that your devices and favorite programs are compatible with the new operating system. Thankfully, you don't need the latest hardware to upgrade and enjoy all the improvements offered by Windows 8. If your computer runs Windows 7, Windows 8 should work just as well (if not better) on that same hardware. Microsoft ensures Windows 8 is backward-compatible with Windows 7. Even older Windows laptops and PCs should be fine; we installed Windows 8 on a five-year-old laptop and it's running better than ever before. As for device and app compatibility, most, if not all, programs and devices that work with Windows 7 should work with Windows 8. That is, the full Windows 8 operating system, not Windows RT. If there's a particular program you depend on, you might be able to make it work with Windows 8 using the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter. How to Find Your Computer's Specs To see the hardware specifications for your computer, you could either run a system information tool that gathers all that information for you (most of them are really easy to use) or you could use Windows itself. To find your system's specs in Windows, go to the Start menu and then All Programs (or Programs) > Accessories > System Tools > System Information, or just right-click on My Computer in the Start menu and select Properties.

what you see is a chp officer kneeling talking to the suicidal man. the man is on the other side of the railing. i didn't learn until i got back into town that minutes later he jumped to his death. i may have taken the last picture while he was alive.
happens about once every two weeks. just yesterday i saw someone get aprehended. another jumper i suspect.
What is going on in your head that prompts you to take out your camera phone to snap a picture as soon as you realize you're in sight of someone on the verge of committing suicide?

People are tolerant, but enough is enough. Millions of Americans decided a lesson in transgenderism by "Chaz" and ABC was not entertaining, so they didn't show up to watch ABC Monday evening. "Dancing With The Stars" dropped 11% in viewers over their opening show last year. More significantly, they were down 22% in the all-important 18-49 age group.
While some were trying to use the very successful debut of "Two and A Half Men" on CBS as an excuse for the significant decrease in viewers on "Dancing," people in the industry are saying it was more than that.
"The Play Boy Club," which many of you petitioned against, bombed. With the full force of NBC's advertising, including the various cable channels owned by NBC promoting it, "Play Boy" only drew 5 million viewers. Critics in the industry called the debut "dismal" and "disastrous." I would call it victorious.
Personally, I think the show will be canceled sooner than later. The networks seem to have a slow learning curve. There are still millions of people who watch television simply to be entertained---not indoctrinated.
Be Vigilant. Be Discerning. Be Prayerful. Be Blessed.
Thank you for supporting our ministry.

It is encouraging to see that there are enough people in our country that still have a hint of moral integrity and good taste that both of these "Must See" programs failed to attract significant attention. Bud in LynnwoodReplyDelete

Please try to keep up. This exchange started when I challenged Gary's assumption that the drop in numbers was based on christian morality.
Someone, maybe you, stated that Gary's post contained no assumptions. I proved otherwise.
No one doubts that this blog is all about Gary's opinions.
So, I'll repeat my original point, the drop in ratings had many causes. Assuming it was primarily christian morality is naive.
- Anonymous1:05 PM, September 24, 2011
Gary never said it was the only cause. Assuming it wasn't primarily Christian morality is also naive.ReplyDelete
Yes, the 'Christian morality' that would stop them from watching people dancing the cha cha and waltz in favor of a program about the death of philandering drug user, the humorous appearance of an attempted suicide and his promiscuous sex with two strange girls which 'saved him'. (I don't know what happened after that, I turned the channel).ReplyDelete
Unfortunately too many Christians are of just this stripe.

This crostini is one of my favorite things to eat because it's so simple to make and always hits the spot. Growing up with a Tunisian father and a Chinese-Indonesian mother, I was no stranger to smothering my meals in hot sauce from some corner of the world. For those of you who haven't heard of Harissa, it's an amazing chili paste with garlic and cumin that was made famous by my fellow North Africans. Besides a plate of homemade couscous, Harissa compliments just about anything; but my personal favorite is spreading it on a slice of perfectly toasted bread with a little tuna, capers and shaved parmesan. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or a late afternoon snack.
To make it you need…
– A few slices of good artisan bread (either Kalamata or a baguette)
– 1 can of tuna in olive oil (preferably Genova)
– Harissa
– A few lemon wedges
– Capers
– 2 tsps of salt and pepper
– Shaved parmesan
– Pinch of dried herbs (such as basil or oregano) to top
While the bread is toasting, take a small bowl and mix the tuna, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Remove the toasted bread and spread a light layer of Harissa onto it. Then top the bread with the tuna mixture, a few parmesan shavings, capers and sprinkle on the herbs. There you go… a 5-minute meal with a spicy kick and endless amounts of flavor.
You can either make a full sandwich size version of this crostini for lunch (feel free to add arugula and tomato slices), or make a platter of bite sized versions to serve as hors d'oeuvres.

A Taste of New York | Los Tacos No. 1 (The Best Tacos in New York)
To make a claim that something is 'the best' in New York, you have to have quite a bit of certainty; however, I can hands-down say that the tacos at Los Tacos No. 1 in the Chelsea Market are by far the best tacos you can find in New York. Why are they so good you might ask, especially since they are in heavily touristic area? I can tell you hands down, it is the ingredients, they are brimming with such vibrant flavors that all others like it never seem to measure up. For starters, the taco shells, either corn or flour are being made constantly in front of you. If you are in New York, I definitely recommend a trip to this place that will change the way you think about tacos!

Refuge vs. Treasure/
Religious Daoism makes a distinction between two experiences of practice. These two come into existence because our unconscious or aggressive conduct creates a cleave between the way things actually are and the way we imagine them to be. In the one case, practice is experienced as an absolute treasure because it is a perfect expression of our true nature (de 德) and it permeates everything we do. In the other case, practice is experienced as an incredible nourishing and inspiring refuge from the stress, fear and passions of our daily lives.
In the written literature of Daoism, this distinction has sometimes been couched as the reason Daoism is not for everyone. Religions which encourage practice as a refuge appear to have a big advantage over Daoism. Practice as a refuge may even be addictive or function as a tool for mental clarity or stress reduction. A refuge is easy to sell.
When we treat practice as a treasure the results are inseparable from all experience. A roller derby helmet becomes part of practice, a loose tooth, the smell of a skill-saw cutting plywood.
We can and do sway back and forth between these two experiences of practice. Some nights before bed, as we are brushing our teeth we think, "I can't wait to get up in the morning and practice." That's what treating practice as a refuge feels like.
Practice as a treasure has no pluses in its camp. Nothing that can be pointed to.
This is the conversation I know about practice; the pull of one, the unbounded unnamable quality of the other.
There really is no conversation I can have of any meaning or significance unless the student already has a practice as solid as stone.
So then I ask the question-- what is the way in? What is the basis for teaching? On what ground does it take root?
In children it is quite obvious that they have potency and access to freedom of movement and openness to learning. Children have a practice, it just has no form because it is still so open to not-knowing, and not-doing. As long as they are not over scheduled they can discover practice.
In adults it is obvious too, in the way people can hold their faces in a mask, or accomplish tasks without thinking, or bring energy, skills and ideas forth to solve a problem. We are capable of these things because of our rituals of "practice," whatever they may be.
Still, the conversation can not happen until the practice is chosen and one has signed contracts with all their demons to that affect! The ability to make commitments is the single most defining quality that makes us human.
I suppose, I could wander here for a moment into the realm of explanation, though I suspect it will leave me dreaming of my refuge. Practice is another way of saying self-conditioning. It is making deep grooves in our nature and behavior patterns rather than shallow scratches. So Daoist practice is un-self-conditioning. The making of a groove-less groove.
Beautiful music and delicious food, cause the traveler to stop.
Words about the Dao are insipid and bland.
-- Laozi

30 Blogs for Stay-at-Home Dads
Fox News reported that the number of stay-at-home dads had more than doubled over a 10 year period, according to U.S. Census data. Today, an estimated 3.4 percent of stay-at-home parents are fathers, up from 1.6 percent in 2001. Whether staying at home with your children was a conscious choice or you're among those who found themselves laid off during the economic downturn, there is a support system created by contributors to the blogosphere who are dedicated to your lifestyle as a stay-at-home father. These 30 entries are among the most useful and informative that those blogs have to offer.
During school breaks, or when your children aren't quite old enough to attend school, finding diversions for them that don't revolve around the television or video games can be a challenge. With the fun ideas put forth by these five blogs, you'll be having a blast with your children through hands-on, interactive activities.

Advice Learning to navigate tea parties, boo-boos, and hurt feelings can be daunting for men that are more accustomed to workplace politics and skilled trades. Even the most confident parents, regardless of gender, can find themselves in situations that they aren't sure how to best handle.

Daddy Blogs When blogging first became a widespread trend, "mommy blogs" were all the rage. These moms turned bloggers share interesting anecdotes, relevant discoveries, and parenting news with their readers, and often host small communities that interact with one another in the comments section of each entry. As stay-at-home parenting for fathers becomes more popular, so do "daddy blogs." Here are five great examples of this social phenomenon.
Quick and Easy Meals While traditionally accepted gender bias posits Mom as the cook and caregiver while Dad acts as the breadwinner, evolving attitudes are changing that perception a bit more every day. The truth is that some people, irrespective of gender, simply aren't gourmet chefs. These five blogs showcase simple meals with short prep time, so that you can spend less time struggling in the kitchen and more time enjoying each day with your children.

Dealing With Stress and Resentment for Accidental Stay-at-Home Dads Even fathers who have willfully chosen to forgo their careers in favor of acting as a stay-at-home primary caregiver occasionally struggle with stress and some slight resentment. For those that find themselves staying home due to the loss of a job, those feelings can be more prevalent. These five blogs offer frank and candid appraisals of life as an inadvertent stay-at-home dad.

People often think of exercise as a punishment for overeating, when in reality our body needs exercise the most aside from eating a balanced diet. For active people, exercise is already a part of their daily routine and they don't feel obligated to do it. But for the rest who are contentedly living their sedentary lifestyle, they think of exercise as a burden that they aren't thrilled about doing at all or spare a minute of their precious time.
Exercise is not only a must for overweight individuals who badly need to get rid of all traces of excess fats hanging off their bodies but for people who are having sleeping problems too.
Sleep disorders like sleep apnea make it impossible for both the snorer and the partner to sleep at night because of the loud snoring sound, a common symptom of sleep apnea. However, it helps to know that not all snorers do actually have sleep apnea, so it's better to get tested at a sleep clinic to confirm. Obesity worsens sleep apnea and puts you at higher risk of various cardiovascular diseases. It's actually the number one factor that predisposes you to the obstructive type of sleep apnea. Hence, losing at least 10{eddcd565122278342ebca74f2e18549ff9b825df15382bc9c1e2170e44f55511} of your body weight improves sleep apnea as well as prevents daytime sleepiness.
More than 100 million Americans have insomnia, and a host of studies and experts say exercise could remedy it.
Multiple studies indicate that physical activity can help you get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer without the risks associated with sleeping pills. Exercise can also help with sleep apnea, a dangerous disorder than can cause a person to temporarily stop breathing at night.
One study showed that exercise alone led to a 25 percent reduction in sleep apnea symptoms over a three-month period.
Disturbed sleep can do more than just leave you groggy in the morning. It's a key risk factor for diseases and conditions like stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
Doctors recommend that people get two-and-a-half hours of aerobic exercise every week. Individuals should also incorporate strength and condition exercises to their routines.
(Via: http://www.wtoc.com/story/35564903/exercise-can-fight-insomnia-sleep-apnea)
Treating sleep apnea isn't an easy thing to do even with the help of modern medicine, which is why having more options in managing it is better and increases your chances of being able to live a normal life at the very least. You also have higher chances of enjoying deep sleep at night that not only makes you feel light and refreshed the next day but enhances memory and learning too.
One study conducted by Rush University clinical psychologist Kelly Glazer Baron found older women suffering from insomnia saw significant results after exercising, including improved sleep, more energy and less depression, CNN reported.
Exercise is also beneficial for those suffering sleep apnea, a condition that causes people to temporarily stop breathing while they sleep, as well as those suffering with restless-leg syndrome, which causes the legs or other parts of the body to itch, burn or move involuntary, according to CNN.
(Via: http://www.wokv.com/news/health-med-fit-science/experts-advise-single-healthiest-way-sleep-better/v7hm80on1jPOrt9dVoapyM/)
The experts have spoken and confirmed what we knew all along. Exercise is a great way to say goodbye to long sleepless nights caused by sleep apnea as well as improve your overall physical appearance. Aside from that, exercising also reduces insomnia as well as prevents you from waking up too early and helps you fall asleep without difficulty. A prime sleep apnea mouthpiece is here: https://snoring.mouthpiece.report/snorerx
So, what are you waiting for? If you're guilty of making excuses on why you put off exercising over and over again, it's now high time to get up and start moving around especially if you are now suffering from sleep apnea. Sleep health affects us greatly, so don't put your health or safety at risk with those breathing pauses at night and hit the gym or the road to not only look good but feel good too.

The minute I saw it, I went gugugaga. A bloody freaking black colored burger! I was ohh-amm-geee I so wanna eat that thing.
This brilliant concept was established by 3 brilliant guys who thought about it out of the ordinary box.
myBurgerLab operates every Tuesday to Sunday starting from 5pm to 10.15pm.
Here's their location : No. 14, Jalan 21/22, Seapark, Petaling Jaya.
Check out their facebook page : myBurgerLab
He's very helpful. His task was to introduce you which burger that you might like. For a newbie like me, I opt for the normal burger which was known as A+
Additional of RM6 for a set meal which consist of fries and a cup of carbonated drink which i refillable.
Varieties of weird and unique burgers.
Super long queue.
The boys with their burgers.
Finally I get to lay my hands on that lil' monster burger.
So happy to meet up with old buddies.
After myburgerlab we stopped by S'Mores to chill out.
The entire topic was about 1 Malaysia and Janji Ditepati -____-
Inside jokes.
We went for a third round later on.
As if having a burger a day is not enough, the guys decided to order another HUGEASS burger for supper in Asia Cafe.
Too much burger consumption in couple of hours.
As big as my face.

How to Construct a Histogram on the TI-83 Plus
You can use the TI-83 Plus graphing calculator to construct a histogram of the data you have entered. To construct a histogram of your data, follow these steps:
Store your data in the calculator.
Your data does not have to appear in the Stat List editor to plot it, but it does have to be in the memory of the calculator.
Turn off any Stat Plots or functions in the Y= editor that you don't want to be graphed along with your histogram.
To do so, press [Y=] to access the Y= editor. The calculator graphs any highlighted Plots in the first line of this editor. To unhighlight a Plot so it won't be graphed, use the
keys to place the cursor on the on the Plot and then press [ENTER] to toggle the Plot between highlighted and unhighlighted.
The calculator graphs only those functions in the Y= editor defined by a highlighted equal sign. To unhighlight an equal sign, use the
keys to place the cursor on the equal sign in the definition of the function, and then press [ENTER] to toggle the equal sign between highlighted and unhighlighted.
Press [2nd][Y=] to access the Stat Plots menu and enter the number (1, 2, or 3) of the plot you want to define.
Highlight On or Off.
If On is highlighted, the calculator plots your data. If you want your data to be plotted at a later time, highlight Off. To highlight an option, use the
keys to place the cursor on the option, and then press [ENTER].
to place the cursor on the type of plot you want to create, and then press [ENTER] to highlight it.
Select the histogram icon.
enter the name of your data list (Xlist), and press [ENTER].
If your data is stored in one of the default lists L1 through L6, press [2nd], key in the number of the list, and then press [ENTER]. For example, press [2nd][1] if your data is stored in L1.
If your data is stored in a user-named list, key in the name of the list and press [ENTER] when you're finished. Notice that the calculator is already in Alpha mode, waiting for the first letter in the name of your list.
Enter the frequency of your data.
If you entered your data without paying attention to duplicate data values, then the frequency is 1. On the other hand, if you did pay attention to duplicate data values, you most likely stored the frequency in another data list. If so, enter the name of that list the same way you entered the Xlist in Step 6.
Press [ZOOM][9] to plot your data using the ZoomStat command.
ZoomStat finds an appropriate viewing window for plotting your data. The next step shows you how to redefine the class size in a histogram.
Press [WINDOW], set Xscl equal to the class size you desire, and then press [GRAPH].
The class size (Xscl) must be
If it isn't, you get the ERR: STAT error message.
If necessary, adjust the settings in the Window editor.
The data plotted consists of test scores. For such data, you naturally want the class size (Xscl) to be 10. But when the histogram is regraphed using this class size, the viewing window doesn't accommodate the histogram. To correct this, adjust the settings in the Window editor.

We've been at the Columbia River RV Park in Portland, Oregon, one week as of today. The park is convenient (a quick drive to the MAX, Portland's light-rail system), has a decent WIFI connection, and a laundry room with lots of machines. The downside is that we're near the airport. The flight corridor takes planes over the Columbia River instead of neighborhoods -- that's supposed to help keep noise down in neighborhoods. But like I said, we're at the Columbia River RV Park, so the planes fly right by and make a heck of a lot of noise. So much noise that our dog has a couple of times wedged himself between the driver's seat and the gas/brake pedal. (He's OK and has returned to his favorite sleeping spot: on top of our dirty laundry.)
But when we stay at a private RV park, we don't spend much time exploring the RV park other than the laundry room. We explore the city, and Portland is a great place to explore.
So far we've hiked in parks and the Portland arboretum (175 acres, 700 kinds of trees and shrubs), had lunch at brew pubs (I seem to be on a hummus plate kick; I've had it at all three pubs we've visited), walked all over the city (did six miles yesterday), and got to see family again.

The value of certification
when relevant content is
added and updated.
Certification — this controversial topic continues to pop up and be discussed in columns and blogs.
James Bach, long an opponent of certification, recently had an interesting experience with a representative of ASTQB (American Software Testing Qualifications Board). He asked her about what it takes to receive a testing certification from her organization and the benefits of certification. The dialog, which James provides in his blog, is hysterical and illustrates the ignorance people in that organization have about testers and testing. Here's a sample:
James: Do you need any experience to get certified?
Lois: No, you just have to pass the exam.
James: What are the benefits of certification?
Lois: JB.
James: JB?
Lois: Just Because. There are almost 90,000 certified testers. It's fast becoming the norm. In some countries you can't get a job unless you have our certification.
Project managers have had similar complaints about certifications for their profession. Bas de Baar wrote about his experiences in his column "Finding work as a PM: Value of certification debatable." He says experience counts for far more than what a person is able to remember from a book, and he finds it unfair that job applicants aren't given a second look if they don't have the certification.
In Kevin Beaver's recent column "Does certification really matter?" Kevin agrees that it's wrong to simply memorize a book in order to get certified. Certification should mean more than that. Certified professionals should be able to "execute in real-world scenarios," he says.
And while getting certified is a marketing tactic, it's often necessary to move ahead in your career, Kevin says. You can disagree all you want, but employers look for those certifications when making hiring decisions.
If certifications are necessary, then the certification bodies need to make sure the tests cover actual experience. And make sure what is being taught in certification training sessions is at the appropriate level.
Some other thoughts: If company and personal budgets get tighter in light of the economic problems we're dealing with, will certification and training get pushed to the back burner? Will fewer certified people mean employers will have to look more carefully at job applicants? Will certifications have more value because they'll be given to people who are really committed to their profession?

Pricing and Tips
Vetta custom-designs your adventure, after having talked with you about your goals, your experience, and what kind of fun you're looking for. A day of backcountry skiing, but with a (simulated!) avalanche rescue thrown in? Done. Birthday celebration at the top of a climb? No sweat; we'll even sing. A six-day intro to alpinism, culminating in a climb of Europe's highest peak, Mont Blanc? Absolutely!
Our prices for domestic climbing, for a "regular" day (6-8 hours), are $375 for a single guest, $450 for two guests, and $500 for three. For most multipitch climbing, 3 climbers is about the max we can do. For a full day of toproping, we can go up to 6 climbers per guide ($550 for four guests; $600 for 5-6 guests). Our half-day rates run $200 for a single guest; $300 for 2; $405 for 3; $480 for 4; $500 for 5-6 ). Our guiding ratios change depending upon the objective, so let's talk about where we're headed.
Internationally, we usually guide at $550USD per day, which includes our lodging, hut fees, personal expenses, and day rate. This might change depending upon objectives, how many days we book together, and whether or not we're already "in country."
If we're "guest-guiding," which simply means working on another company's permit, then pricing can change, depending upon the host company's fees, rates, and guest-guiding program. We'll talk you through it and let you know what's happening and why. The US has a fairly Byzantine system of permits, land agencies, and insurance coverage, so let us know if you'd rather not hear the details.
Tipping. Yes, we appreciate tips and mountain guides work hard to earn them. If you enjoy your day, see your guide doing a bit extra, feel taken care of, then we thank you kindly for something at the end of our adventure!
Please plan ahead to avoid any financial stress due to injury, unforeseen circumstances, or illness. Visit our Cancellations and Refunds page and familiarize yourself with how we handle changes and cancellations. We strongly suggest trip insurance, too, and you can find a link to a provider here.

Cody Lundin's Aboriginal Living Skills School, LLC ("ALSS")
Please note: the ALSS bush craft courses list explicitly states whether or not Lundin or one of his associates will teach the class. So, if you want Lundin's instruction, be sure to pay attention to the course list. Lundin claims to have over 27 years as a professional survival instructor. Lundin's website features that he has been interviewed by major news outlets like CNN and Good Morning America.
Day Courses/Skills Courses
Lundin has "Skills Courses" which there isn't a formal overnight stay and an immersion "Adventure Courses." Lundin also conducts prepper/self-reliance training. (It is expensive though at $2,699 for six days of training)
Particular survival techniques are taught in the "Skills Classes." For example, the "Light My Fire" skills class teaches you how survival or emergency fire making. Along with primitive survival techniques, most classes teach you how to use modern bushcraft survival gear properly. The skill courses range from $395 for the "Light My Fire Class" to $2,699 for the Self Reliance Symposium.
Immersion/Overnight Courses
The "Adventure Courses," instructs using modern and primitive survival skills. Lundin offers winter and desert survival classes and classes where no modern equipment is used. He even has once wilderness survival course where you are left in the desert with only your clothes on your back. The prices range from $695 for the three-day winter survival class to $3,499 for the "Desert Drifter" course.
Wilderness Awareness School ("WAS")
This school is based in Duvall, Washington and they have over ten instructors listed on their website. The founder is a naturalist. So, the classes have a focus on both wilderness survival and nature appreciation.WAS has a wide variety of bush craft courses. WAS, along with survival training, offers educator classes where they teach enrollees to:
-Learn models for creating effective educational experiences based on the cycles of Nature
-Practice games, activities, and songs which draw people young and old into Nature
-Explore the role of story telling in the educational structures of nature-based cultures and draw out your own stories for mentoring youth and inspiring and teaching others!
Day Programs
WAS's survival courses offer day programs which are either general programs focusing on basic wilderness Survival (using modern survival equipment) to specialized courses, such as learning the therapeutic uses of medicinal plants and learning to build a fire using friction.
The prices, for these day programs, range from $195 for the "Wilderness Survival Basics" to $95 for the "Awakening Fire."
Intensive Programs
WAS's intensive programs encompass a broad range of activities. In their, nine months, "Anake Outdoor School" they offer areas of instruction in naturalist studies, self-discovery, community leadership and bushcraft. This course is college accredited and GI bill eligible.
WAS also offers a nine-month program ($1,775 to $2,550) that exclusively deals with wildlife tracking.
Survival Camp For Kids
WAS also has "Youth Programs." They have classes for all ages of children. The "Nature Explorers," day camp is a half-day nature appreciation course for children ages four to six. This course costs $275. They also have a "Knife and Knot Skils" day camp for ten to 12-year-olds costs $375. Their overnight, Monday through Sunday, "Wilderness Survival" bush craft course for 11 to 14-year-olds costs $735.
Tom Brown Jr.'s Tracker School ("Tracker")
The tracker school was founded in 1978 and is based upon the teachings of Tom Brown Jr. who learned Native American wilderness survival skills from an Apache elder, "Stalking Wolf."
Tracker's bush craft courses balances wilderness survival with lessons on Native American spirituality. For example, Tracker offers classes concerning the appreciation of Native American spirituality.
Tracker has seven court pillars in his teaching: Philosophy, Teaching, Healing Prophecy/Vision, Scout, Survival Skills and Tracking.
Their "Tracker" which is their intro to wilderness survival course, according to the online syllabus seems to focus, exclusively, on learning primitive survival methods. For example, you'll learn how to start a friction fire and how to make natural emergency shelters, like a mud hut and a thatched shelter.
Also, you'll learn primitive trapping techniques. However, depending upon your philosophy, this may be right or wrong, no animals are harmed.
The price for the Tracker seems very reasonable with this six-day, introductory class costing only $800. The "Advanced Standard" class, which expands on their introductory bush craft courses is also a six-day class, and it costs only $900.

Thank you for helping the cause
To The Editor:
Getting ready to take the wife to Greencastle, I was hailed down by Dr. Rick Rodgers, saying "have you got a minute? I have something for you."
As neighbors, we have gotten UPS items for each other when one wasn't home.
I pulled in Dr. Rodgers' drive and he went in his business and came out with a slip of paper, and to my surprise, it was a nice size donation toward the Vet mini-van needed by the VA office for Clay County.
And then I received this phone call from a fellow who asked if I was going to be home for a while and followed up with a visit a short while later.
He introduced himself as a fellow vet and said he wanted to help and asked how things were shaping up.
I told him the American Legion dinner was all set up and that the Eagles at the corner of State Road 59 and Main Street was all set for a pork chop dinner. And the only thing I still had to get was a hog for the hog roast at the National Guard Armory June 11. He immediately said, "I'm buying the hog," and whipped out his wallet with the money for the same.
I told him it was too much, and he said to spend the remainder on potato salad. So folks, you will also have potato salad along with your baked beans and coleslaw down at the Armory Friday evening, from 4-7 p.m., on State Road 59.
Thanks Walt Moore.
And we should have more like you in Brazil and Clay County would be a better place.
Hope to see you at the Eagles on May 22 at their pork chop dinner.
And, too, thanks to The Brazil Times for covering our fundraising dinners so that we can honor our vets with trips to and from vet hospitals and/or area hospitals and doctor appointments.
Checks may be dropped off at any Riddell National Bank. Make sure you write for mini-van in the bottom corner as the VA office is closed most of the week. Or drop off at the V.F.W. club on South Depot Street in the afternoons, or contact Commander Bob Bigley or Sarge Marion Eveland and they can pick up your donation. Any cash or receipt will be given on the spot.
"Sarge" Marion Eveland,

tools.syncTime = FALSE
time.synchronize.continue = FALSE
time.synchronize.restore = FALSE
time.synchronize.resume.disk = FALSE
time.synchronize.shrink = FALSE
time.synchronize.tools.startup = FALSE
This will pretty much prevent your VM from ever syncing its clock with your host. At first, I thought that disabling the clock sync option in VMWare tools was enough, but it turned out not to work so well. Your clocks would stay out of sync while the VM was running, but the second you suspended and resumed it or rebooted it the VM would sync. The above options will prevent that.
Also, you'll want to make sure that you disable any NTP or similar services within the guest OS so that it doesn't end up syncing with an internet time server.
I can't tell you how long I've been trying to figure this out. At some point I just gave up because I didn't think it possible.
Here's the great PDF which describes VMWare's timekeeping and where I found those options.
Cheers and happy VM-ing!
