Cindy (my wife) and I found the same cheap but cozy farmhouse we rented when we first got married. I got another day gig and quickly hooked up with another local band.
For three years we lived in the farmhouse and finally started a family.
My son was born September 17, 1982.
While I was part timing with a local band my dream, desire, and passion was music and somehow making a living with music. However I was still very naïve, especially to the real world of business.
Here comes the second dose of reality.
While I was back in York for these three years, Barney Lee, Justin Brown and a third friend, Henry Yoder, had formed a small business and built a small eight track recording studio in the Pittsburgh area in Dormont, PA a town just outside the Pittsburgh city limits.
The studio would later expand to a 24 track facility.
Obviously I was drawn to this like a magnet. It had all the ingredients I was looking for, music, studio, and working with Barney Lee.
So in June of 1983 with a 9 month old baby boy we moved back to Pittsburgh and a small apartment in Dormont about 1 mile from the studio.
My parents and my grandparents as well as Cindy's parents weren't very happy about this move. We were taking the first grandchild (on my side of the family) and moving 250 miles away. But this was my calling.
For a while we lived off of the money I had saved up in my retirement plan that accumulated while working for the County of York the previous 3 years.
We had no health insurance and I had a hard time finding any work. My blessed wife started her 30 year career in waitressing. A career which through most of the 1980's helped keep the family going.
I spent a lot of time at the studio and started to realize that I had organizational and logistical skills. Barney Lee recognized these skills. Barney convinced Justin and Henry to bring me on to help run the place.
Over the next few years I learned the business of business.
Slowly my drumming skills were pushed aside. Not only because of my running the day to day operations of the studio, which very few musicians have the skill or desire to do, but because time is money and there was always someone better. There was always that other go to drummer. No time in a session for me to learn my craft.
I did get to meet and get to know some very talented and successful people.
And I learned a ton about business and how it works, first hand.
I shined at business operations more than my musical talents and so gravitated to the business side of the music business.
In 1984 we bought our first house. We paid $36,000 for a 2 bedroom, one bathroom house but it was in a real nice neighborhood and was on a great lot. It has some apple trees and a grape arbor. The interest rate was 12.9% which was a bargain at that time.
The studio was just managing to keep its head above water and committing to a 30 year loan for over $30,000 scared me to death. But like I said earlier, Cindy was there to help keep things going and to give me the push I needed to make the move.
In 1986 we had our second child, a girl.
After three years at the studio I thought we were due to get our big break. That next big act would walk through the door, we would sign them and all our troubles would be over.
But after being put in charge of the books and having to make decisions about who gets paid and who doesn't I started to realize this. Until that next big act walks through the door we need some steady income.
I learned the importance of cash flow.
So between dealing with banks, lenders, suppliers, musicians and the IRS, I started to seriously worry about the family that I had to support.
People would walk in the door of the office and my first thought was "do we owe you money".
Anytime I went back to York for a visit and then returned to Pittsburgh I would drive by the studio just to see if the IRS or creditors had finally pad locked the doors.
I couldn't live feeling that way anymore and my playing time had all but stopped.

Summer is finally here so I've made a delicious and easy bean salad, perfect for your outdoor party or picnic. Simply toss some beans with whatever vegetables or herbs you have on hand and you've got a healthy dish to serve. Cannellini beans are usually my bean of choice for hearty soup or salad recipes. They're delicate, creamy and taste great with whatever you add to it. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a mid-day snack or side dish. This would also go great with crispy salmon or grilled shrimp.
The beans are dressed with a simple homemade vinaigrette, so there's no need to buy a bottle at the store. All you need is olive oil and vinegar, then mix it with the seasonings of your choice. I used red wine vinegar but balsamic vinegar would work perfectly fine.
Cannellini Bean Salad Recipe
Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt and pepper.
In a bowl, toss together the cannellini beans, vinaigrette, thyme, oregano, thyme, parsley, onions, lemon juice and Parmesan. Serve at room temperature or chill for 1-2 hours before serving.
Total Time: 15 minutes

City State Entertainment's batshit-crazy days for Camelot Unchained! A few weeks ago, we spoke with CSE co-founder Mark Jacobs about each of the topics being revealed this week via livestream; this afternoon, we're digging into my personal favorite: crafting and economy.
Sponsored Links
Massively: I just wrote about a game with excessive recovery time for crafters, likewise implemented for economic reasons, and wow, players hate those restrictions. Doesn't introducing (I'm going to say it) "designed downtime" for crafters encourage crafter mules and arbitrarily interfere with the natural economy? Aren't there more organic ways to slow down crafting? Why allow combatants to fight 24/7 but not allow crafters to craft equivalently?
CSE's Mark Jacobs: It's a really good question and a definite concern for us. My feeling was that I wanted to create a system where crafters don't have to sit around, crafting 24/7 in a manner that could lead to carpal tunnel. Other games, including Dark Age of Camelot, were more like that. Crafters shouldn't have to sit around and simply click-click-click, etc. The comparison isn't totally correct though, because combatants have downtime to recover their health or power, during travel, etc. (especially in an RvR MMORPG), while crafters can sit in a shop and use the Vox Magus to craft.
My guess is that if you measure the amount of time a combatant is actually fighting in this game, the things I mentioned above would add up to longer than you might expect. Now, if we were creating an instanced-based MMORPG where combatants could literally be fighting 24 hours a day, I think this would be a very valid comparison. However, with 'forced' downtime such as the types I mentioned, especially travel, I think this system actually balances the time nicely and will not force crafters to create 10K crappy and useless arrows just to level their skills.
In terms of crafter mules, I think that a system with no forced downtime actually encourages them since you simply have to give your mule resources and you can quickly level it up. I've done it that way in most of the MMORPGs I've played. Here, where leveling up your crafter will actually take time and effort (not just coin/resources), it should discourage people from mules because the time it takes to build up the crafters will have a definite impact on leveling up their main characters. Now, I also know some people will be annoyed with this, but I made a promise to our crafters that this system would be designed for players who want to craft full-time, not just as an adjunct to their main characters, so we are going to do just that.
The other thing to keep in mind is that I promised our crafters would feel special, and that if they spent the time and effort to level up their character(s), they wouldn't feel other players could easily catch up with them once they had plenty of resources to spend. This system prevents that from happening as, no matter how many resources you have (or other people to 'help' by playing your toons), your character will level no faster. This, among so many other reasons, is why Camelot Unchained is not geared for the masses or aimed at the same target demographic as games such as WoW.
If the economy and immersion are of such concern, why allow non-crafters to harvest, repair, and craft basic supplies, engaging in "popcorn crafting" and effectively bypassing the need to immersively prepare for their battles or interact with full crafters except when they need a major piece of gear?
Well, tell me how you can immersively prepare for battle without running into the same issue you raised earlier about the EverQuest spellbook, especially while doing so on a small budget, so that it wouldn't get boring in three months, let alone three years. :)
One of the thoughts behind popcorn crafting was to recognize that many/most players want to do some basic gathering, repairing, etc., but aren't keen to spend a lot of time looking for crafters just to replace a bowstring or push out a dent in their armor. In a game like Camelot Unchained that features meaningful item decay, if players have to run back to a town every 30 minutes or so, this will get old very fast. OTOH, if you can repair basic stuff, make some basic arrows, gather some basic materials and use them, you can be more self-sufficient. This also doesn't force crafters to spend lots of time leveling by doing repairs, or oblige them to go into the more dangerous parts of the world just to get small jobs to level up their crafting skills.
Do developers really believe players will stand around watching their realmmates cook and smith on a magical pipe organ? :D
Depends on how much fun it is to watch and whether they can gain favor with their Realm for doing so, doesn't it? Let's say that crafting a very powerful item really does take more than one person, but less than a village. If you can help your Realm by showing up and lending some of your power either to your fellow crafters or even as a combatant, yes, I do think some players will find that very immersive and fun, especially if there are rewards for doing so.
Now, do I think this will be true for all players? Not a chance. Do I feel that the lightshow alone will be enough? No, especially not after a few weeks or months. But do I believe this can be fun for some people, some times? Darn right.
Again, keep in mind that the Vox Magus won't be exciting to watch all the time. But it doesn't need to be. Tell me that if in real life, you drove into town and saw the beginning of an interesting light show, you wouldn't be curious to check it out. I know I would be, and I expect a number (I hope a lot) will be, especially if they are in town already, whether just hanging out, meeting with crafters, waiting for friends, RPing, etc. Imagine going to a 4th of July fireworks show and not only being able to help out, but at the end, being rewarded for doing so. Attendance at these shows would go up significantly, don't you think?
What our Backers (actual or potential) need to know is that we are trying to build an interdependency among our classes so one character or even account cannot easily do everything, especially at the beginning. Our combatants will need the help of crafters to succeed, and vice versa. We won't be able to attract and hold the interest of our crafters if they know that the effort they put into being one can be mirrored faster and more easily by other players who have leveled up their mains. Everything we put into the crafting system is meant to reinforce this concept as well as, again, the fact that crafters and combatants have to work together to succeed.
How does setting a price floor for an item guarantee that low-level crafters can make money? If the demand isn't there, the price floor does nothing but prevent low-level crafters from making anything back at all on their crafts when a profit is unreachable.
Not at all. If the price at which you can sell an item to your Realm is enough that you can gain on the transaction, then you make a profit by definition correct? Will you get rich by donating/selling to the King? Nope, but if you make a small amount per transaction, it will work out just fine in the beginning. Unlike in the vast majority of MMORPGs, our crafters are a class, and we have to give them the ability to level their characters by simply playing as a crafter and not as someone else who has crafting skills. We can't rely, as certain other games do, on them being fed materials by your other toons or players.
This is especially true in the early days of your crafter as gathering the low-level materials is easy and/or easy to get from your Realm. For example, if we say that it will take two bars of copper and one of silver to make an item, you can buy those metals from your Realm for five coins, and you can sell/donate the item to the realm for seven, you make a profit. Also, keep in mind that you might also be able to get materials free from your King in exchange for supplying him with the items you make.
As a hardcore crafter and trader, I consider a well-designed auction house (or a vendor search tool) to be just as important as vendors and merchant stalls themselves. Vendors are great, but people need to be able to find what they want to buy. So how will the team ensure those "robust" systems in the planned absence of an AH?
Well, to be perfectly blunt, if you need an AH to succeed, you won't be happy with this aspect of the game. We have been very clear about this from the very beginning of our Kickstarter, I think that player-run shops, stalls, etc. can work out very well (as they have in other games) provided we provide proper communication tools. An AH, while convenient, is only one such possibility.
OTOH, I think we have lost some of the inter-personal, immersive and interactive nature of certain earlier MMORPGs, and that's what we are trying to recapture with this game. Again, I know it won't be for everybody. Speaking as someone who has used AHs in other games to make a lot of profit, I will miss it too, but as I tell the team, we are not making a game for me or anybody else in the studio. We are making the game that our Backers are excited enough about to back us to make.
Join us again tomorrow for the final day of CU's BSC days! Here's our coverage of the reveals up to now:
|Camelot Unchained's use-based stat system will trade grind for immersion
|Camelot Unchained isn't 'recreating WoW' with its magic system
|Camelot Unchained will feature a customizable 'component combat' system
When readers want the scoop on a launch or a patch (or even a brewing fiasco), Massively goes right to the source to interview the developers themselves. Be they John Smedley or Chris Roberts or anyone in between, we ask the devs the hard questions. Of course, whether they tell us the truth or not is up to them!

Whether your water heater fell over, the kids forgot to turn off the bathtub faucet, the normally serene river down the road has burst its bank, or a 24-foot storm surge in Lampasas has wiped out your home, Water Damage happens. In fact, that's why many homeowners carry insurance – to protect their homes from unpredictable catastrophes.
Unfortunately, one man's catastrophe is another man's problem. This is true especially when dealing with your insurance company over Water Damage Restoration claims. Is it a catastrophe or is it your problem? Is the flood event covered or not?
Most homeowners in Lampasas insurance policies exclude certain types of flooding so it's useful to review your policy before and during the water restoration claims process. If you have National Flood Insurance, you should be prepared with that information as well.
Water damage and restoration claims are subject to all kinds of rules and loopholes and your insurance company knows exactly what they are doing – do you? If you're getting the runaround from your insurance about a restoration claim, don't take their word for it. Read your insurance policy and find out exactly what is covered. You pay your premiums for the service that the insurer provides. When it's time for restoration for a covered loss, you don't deserve to be short changed.
While many water claims are specifically excluded from an insurance policy, not all are. During hurricanes and major storms, some water damage is specifically excluded such as water damage from a storm surge. However, if your roof blows off and the rain damages the interior of your home, then the water restoration would likely be covered. Beware of the insurance agent that wants to classify damage as something other than it is. For example, if the agent claims the water damage is due to storm surge when it's clear that the reason the home is water damaged is because the roof blew off, then stick up for yourself and demand that the adjuster look at the obvious.
In these cases, restoration compensation could be less than what's needed thanks to an insurance adjuster whose eyes are on the bottom line, not what you are entitled to under the terms of your policy. Get a professional involved if you need help. Public insurance adjusters can act on your behalf and get a better settlement offer while specific contractors, such as roofers and rebuilders, can document the damage, make reasonable efforts, and back you up when you're filing a restoration claim.
Your insurance company wants to save a few bucks while you want to make sure that you can restore your property. You are at odds with each other even though you are business partners. Get a third party involved and ensure that your restoration goes the way it should.
Water Damage Defined
Water damage can be defined as the damage to real estate or personal property by the encroachment of water. Flooding is a somewhat common occurrence with homes and businesses. Whenever flood damage happens, it can be a traumatic experience for the resident. In some cases, the resident is required to leave their business or residence until the restoration work is completed. This can, at times be a large inconvenience to the resident and can result in loss of income to the business.
How Water Problems Occur
There are many reasons that a home or business could become water damaged. One way water damage can occur is because of flooding due to rainstorms or other water accumulations. A second way that water damage can occur is due pipes and interior plumbing in buildings breaking and leaking water. This kind of damage can occur quickly, as in the case of a pipe breaking and suddenly discharging water or slowly due to a slow leak in a pipe that leaks for weeks or months until it's discovered. Whatever the initial cause for the water damage, it is important that the leak is stopped and the property is dried as soon as possible. Otherwise, additional damage may occur in the form of mold.
What To Do When an Emergency Occurs
When the property owner discovers that flooding or discharge of water has occurred on their property, the first thing they should do is, if possible, stop the leak by turning off the water. They should then contact a professional plumber immediately if the cause of the flooding is because of a pipe leak. If necessary, the plumber might need to call in a water damage restoration company to dry and remove the water from the property and restore the property to its original condition. It is absolutely critical that the property owner not delay in calling in professionals as the longer the water is allowed to remain, the higher the probability that mold will grow. If mold is allowed to grow on the property, the scope of the damage is greatly increased as is the cost to repair the damage.
Getting Water Damage Invoices Past Insurance Adjusters
Basic Steps In Water Damage Restoration
Water restoration companies deal with flood situations on a daily basis. Floods are natural disasters with devastating effects on people. Loss of life, loss of home, loss of livelihood, structural water damage to property, basement flooding, crawl space seepage and more are just some of the effects of water flooding.
Water restoration companies emphasize how important it is to follow flood safety guidelines and in times of flooding and natural disasters. People must take basic necessary precautions for their wellbeing so that they are not caught off guard. Floods can be overwhelming and destructive and individuals can minimize their impact by preparing in advance, before a flood can devastate properties, communities and lives.
- When preparing an action plan for your safety and the safety of loved ones, you must consider family pets as well and make the necessary accommodations for them prior to the flood.
- Study area maps and scout a safe high ground in case of flooding in your community. Make sure all family members know how to get to this spot from work, home or school. In case family members get separated during flooding, know how to get to this meeting place.
- When preparing an emergency kit for a flood, water restoration companies suggest to keep banking documents, identification papers, and any other important records, or at least copies of such papers, in the emergency kit as well.
- For insurance purposes, document possession of antiques, jewelry, and valuable assets and belongings. Store them away from the flood zone.
- Every household preparing for a flood must have on hand a battery-operated radio with extra batteries and flashlights, so buy these ahead of time and store them in the emergency kit.
- Over the counter and prescription medicines for all family members should be packed ahead of time in a first aid kit. Store the first aid kit with the emergency kit.
- Store enough clean water and food for all family members. Food items must require no cooking or refrigeration. If using canned goods, make sure you have a manually operated can opener as well.
Water restoration companies recommend listening to local flood news on battery-operated radios and adhering to instructions. Keep your gas tank full and store all supplies and emergency kits together, so they will be easy to access and take with you if evacuation is necessary. In case of evacuation, authorized personnel will provide instructions as to which routes are safe to take.

You know those characters in story who aren't exactly a main character but you grow to love them so much? Luna Lovegood is definitely one of those.
We can all probably relate to Luna on some level.
Anyway, Evanna has broken the news via Instagram that she's decided to let the character go.
She posted the photo below and we're just about coming to terms with what it really means for us Harry Potter fans.
My 💘 @officialandel who is an actual fountain of joy, fun and wisdom and snarky comebacks. Thank you for keeping me spangly and reminding me why I'm here and inspiring some new intentions… I'm going to take a break from conventions after the other two I've committed to this year because I need to push myself as an artist more. Sometimes life gives you an easy route that dulls your appetite for chasing your dreams and you become inhibited by fear of what lays beyond comfort and safety. That for me has been living off the world I inhabited a decade ago. It's a blessing to have a safety net and while it's possible to maintain safety and chaos together I believe I need insecurity to light a fire under my scared little artist's ass. I'm different now and need to honour that and challenge myself to create something else, something from the person I am today. I feel like I'm stuck in my 18 year old self artistically when I actually have a lot more to say. I'm writing it down for myself to acknowledge and to remind myself to not be held back by fear of discovering my inabilities and inadequacies as an actor and human. What is there to lose anymore by being relentlessly optimistic about the future? I have run out of excuses and want to follow my heart wholeheartedly rather than my fear… 🙏🏻
Evanna explains she's been "stuck" and "living off" the stability of the Harry Potter franchise for too long and she wants to push herself more because she "has a lot more to offer".
She'll attend the conventions she's committed to this year, but she'll begin to decline the invitations from now on.
She explained:
"It's a blessing to have a safety net and while it's possible to maintain safety and chaos together I believe I need insecurity… I'm different now and need to honour that and challenge myself to create something else, something from the person I am today."
It's always good to step out of your comfort zone and explore new things so we're super proud of her and we can't wait to see what she does next.
Are you excited for what she'll do next? Let us know in the comments below!

Violet Moonrise
DIMENSIONS 22" x 22" MEDIUM archival pigment print
Limited edition of 50, 2014
Accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by the artist
Violet Moonrise suggests something more formidable than its picturesque first impression, as not all depicted players are congruous with the poolside idyll. Huey's paintings and collages are populated with faceless, scantily clad figures whose potential for salaciousness is undercut by their sunshiny settings: bathers recline poolside or in oceanfront relaxation. Reverberating with vivid color, her landscapes blur the borders between intimacy, eeriness, and escapism. Though culled from a collection of personal and found photographs, the artist's work lacks specific landmarks, having more in common with dreams than actual snapshots.
Framing options are black or white painted wood, 7/8" wide flat face and 7/8" deep, with UV acrylic glass.
International customers are responsible for applicable duties and taxes.

Brittany Prepares for St. Yew's Day
On 19th May, all the Bretons in the world will celebrate "Gouel Erwan" (or St-Yew's day, i.e. Brittany's Day!), the equivalent to the Irish St Patrick's Day! Time to look back at what Brittany was in the past, what it is nowadays and what it could become in the next decades…
Brittany is a beautiful piece of land located in the North-West of France. Well known to Britons for being their favourite second home choice in France, but who actually knows much about the actual place? Did you know for example that Brittany is a former independent Celtic kingdom and duchy that was incorporated into France in 1532?
Two following waves of Britons (or Brythons) settled in Armorica around the fourth and fifth centuries to escape from the Anglo-Saxons and the Scots in Britain, and they actually gave the country the name of "Little Britain" which later became the modern "Brittany" (in London, Little Britain was also the street where Embassy of the Duchy of Brittany was later located).
The newcomers also contributed to create the Breton language, Brezhoneg, which is a Celtic language descending from the Brythonic of Insular Celtic languages brought by Romano-British and other Britons to Armorica. It is a sister language to Welsh and Cornish. Breton is actually far older than French. The earliest text in the Breton language dates from 590 while the earliest text in French dates from 843, more than 250 years later!
Since their settlement in Armorica, the Bretons were divided into tribes, but with a common ennemy that they were fighting against for generations: the French. Nominoë (or Nevenoe in Breton), Earl of Vannes and first Duke of Brittany, founded the first unified and independent Kingdom of Brittany in 845, when the Breton defeated the King of France's army at the Battle of Ballon. He is ever since known as the father of the country ("Tad ar Vro").
After defeating the French army a second time in 851 under King Erispoë (Nominoë's son), the Bretons' control over Rennes, Nantes and the Pays de Retz was secured, and consequently French King Charles the Bald recognised the independence of Brittany and determined the borders that defined the historic duchy.
Were the French afraid of the Bretons? Probably because it wasn't before 1488 (more than 600 years later) that the French army, with the very precious help of 5,000 mercenaries from Switzerland and Italy, defeated the Breton army. They then forced the Duke of Brittany Francis II to submit to a treaty giving the King of France the right to determine the marriage of the Duke's daughter. Duchess Anne, 12 years old, was the only heir to the Duchy and the last independent ruler of the Duchy. She was ultimately obliged to marry King Louis XII of France.
Even though on her death the Duchy was supposed to pass onto her daughter, Brittany was eventually incorporated into the Kingdom of France in 1532 by Francis I of France, through the Edict of Union between Brittany and France, registered with the Estates of Brittany.
After the Edict of 1532, Brittany retained some kind of fiscal and regulatory autonomy. But when the French Revolution started off and the National Constituent Assembly in Paris unanimously proclaimed the abolition of feudal privileges, on 4th August 1789, Brittany lost the juridical existence, autonomy, Parliament, and administrative, fiscal and legal guarantees secured with the Edict of Union of 1532. Hence the move to abolish feudal distinctions proved very unpopular in Brittany. The French Revolution was everything but a good thing for Brittany: even its territory was split into five "départements".
For as long as the Monarchy lasted in France, French Kings didn't concern themselves with the minority languages. And it's therefore the revolutionaries who introduced policies favouring French over any other language, pejoratively referred to as "patois", since they assumed that monarchists preferred regional languages to keep the peasant masses under-informed.
From the Revolution, Breton language, history and culture were stamped out of state schools for almost 200 years through humiliating practices and posters in the streets, with humiliating slogans such as: "It is forbidden to spit in the street and to speak Breton!"
Bretons have always been proud of their land, their language and their culture. Their courage is well known too: Bretons have emigrated all around the world at various points in their history. Did you know for example that majority of William the Conqueror's army that invaded England, in 1066, was actually Breton?
Through adversity, Bretons always kept their traditions and culture alive. It actually made them stronger. In 1897, François Jaffrenou wrote a national anthem for Brittany, the "Bro Gozh ma Zadoù" (Breton for "Old Land of My Fathers"). The music was composed by the Welsh James James. In 1923, Morvan Marchal created a flag for Brittany, the Gwenn-ha-du (which means white and black in Breton).
In 1941, as the majority of France was under Nazi occupation, the French regions were created by the Vichy regime of Marshal Philippe Pétain (a collaborationist dictatorship that surrendered France to the Nazis). Brittany's territory then shrank to 4/5 of its size as the former Duchy lost part of its historical territory with the Nantes area being included into a brand new region made up of other historical provinces. The fascist government of Vichy called it Pays de la Loire… and it surprisingly still exists today!
After 200 years of French ruling, the unity of Brittany had become a thing of the past…
(to be continued…)

My Blogs:Google(+) Profile, Facebook, LinkedIn, XING
at OPTIMAL SYSTEMS Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH Österreich since January 2012.
Before I have worked at HENRICHSEN Austria GmbH in Vienna (Austria) in 2011 and more than 13 years for MAY Computer GmbH (also in Vienna) as IT Consultant, Project Manager and Software Developer. I have a total experience of more than 25 years in IT business and more than 14 years in DMS/ECM field.
I was not even 10 years old when my father brought home his first computer and he introduced me to programming (there were not really many computer games around). So since the early eightees I am collecting experience in software development (first for private purposes and later for customers also).
My actual work is mainly IT consulting, software development, software design and also project management.
For development my focus moved during the last years from Visual Basic to Java alongside my move from Windows to Linux. In the DMS/ECM field my focus moved from OpenText eDOCS DM (former Hummingbird) on to Alfresco and EASY Software to finally settle at Optimal Systems.
My fields of responsibility:
In my private time I am writing articles on my blogs (1-2-solved and IT-Tactics) and I take pictures (as photography is my main hobby) when I am not currently looking after my family...

Recently, a friend wrote to me and mentioned that she has been fighting
pharyngeal cancer for a while. That was shocking NEWS.
The first thought that came to mind was that I wanted to tell her about a book on natural cancer treatments. The name of the book is Natural Cancer Treatments that Work .
Then later, I also thought about the famous cancer surgeon: Bernie Siegel. Bernie is one of my health care heroes. I love to hear his story about how he found a new way to help people fight their cancer. He achieved astounding results. The power of the mind-body connection is indeed something that can be harnessed.
Johanna Budwig also discovered a powerful combination of flax seed oil and non-fat yogurt or non-fat cottage cheese. She also achieved good results initially, but then things died out a bit.
I make fruit smoothies with real fruit a lot. Those fruit smoothies are packed with phytochemicals and antioxidants. I reason that putting those into the body could have a protective role, not just against cancer, but maybe against other major debilitating diseases as well.
If you have a cancer experience to share, good or bad and regardless of the outcome – please do comment below. Perhaps your words, will help or at least encourage someone else who feels that they are lost in a desperate situation.
Warm Regards,
David Snape

Ritter to sign teacher tenure legislation
DENVER (AP) – Gov. Bill Ritter says he plans to sign a landmark change to education law that will require teachers to be judged on the performance of their students and put their jobs on the line if they fail.
The Colorado Education Association turned down an invitation from the governor to attend the bill signing on Thursday, saying members still have reservations about the changes.
Under the bill, teachers would be evaluated each year, with at least half of their ratings based on whether their students progressed during the school year.
Whether or not their students advance would affect whether they would lose tenure and the right to appeal dismissal that comes with it. Currently, teachers can earn tenure after three years in the classroom.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Pregnancy is a special event in a woman's life and throughout the 9 months, her body deals with many changes; physically and emotionally.
Massage is a wonderful tool to assist during this time. Over the years Heidi has had many pregnant women benefit from her treatments. She has the excellent grounding from UK experts such as Denise Tiran on how to approach each woman individually.
Each massage is different and tailored to the mother's current stage of pregnancy. For instance, during particular massages, lymph drainage and reflex points are worked to deal with issues such as sluggish lymphatic flow (swollen ankles). When constipation becomes an issue during pregnancy, Heidi will incorporate reflexology techniques in to the pregnancy massage. When back and hip discomfort occurs during pregnancy, once again Heidi will ensure the mum-to-be is treated holistically and will target areas of need.
Heidi always maintains high professional standards and holds her duty of care very seriously. So if she feels you may need a GP consent before proceeding with treatments, this is due to the standards and code of ethics outlined from her training over the years and current guidelines from the Australian Association of Massage Therapists (AAMT).

Obama's Creed
When asked why I am outspokenly anti-Obama, here is a main reason. Last April 9 at a news conference in Turkey, he said that while there is a great number of Christians in the United States...
"... we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."
You can check the quote for accuracy on the Internet. It's verifiable. Well, as reader Joan Solms (and conservative activist) says: who are "we"? And what "ideals and a set of values"? What are they?
Here is the closest affirmation I can find of what this 3rd World-indoctrinated mystery man of murky genealogical background really "believes" if in fact belief is the right word. He is really not very smart. He poses often with his forefinger dug into his cheek with a faraway look in his eyes from which we are to deduce he's an intellectual. He's decidedly not (take it from me who was the first to interview him on radio after he became a state senator).
Some say he's a Deist like Thomas Jefferson but the above statement contradicts that. Jefferson who first postulated (in a private letter) the concept of "wall of separation" between church and state first suggested that members of Congress go to church in the Capitol itself. That's not Obama. His statement above is humanist and intrinsically atheist. His 20-year membership in Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ was no test. How can one sit there for 20 years hearing Wright rave against whitey and believe that's Christianity? Obama did it because he was a young man on the make and he decided the folks there could be put to good use as volunteers for him. Period. If he ever believed anything Wright said he should not have tossed him aside when the heat came on... because Wright was a detriment.
No, essentially Obama is an atheist clothed in humanist philosophy. His declaration above certifies it.
Religious historians commonly trace the origins of modern atheism to the 18th century "Enlightenment" [sic] or humanism, spawned by the fight by materialist philosophers and the encyclopedists (among whom was one Francois-Marie Arouet who signed himself "Voltaire") who sought to collect the sum-total of human knowledge within two covers. The original motivation was correct-to change the Old Order of ancient states which sanctioned their rule of "Divine Right." But it soon changed as the masses were told in books and pamphlets that the Christian religion contradicts "the political health and well-being of nations." Thereupon the encyclopedists invented their own god-the state... to which Obama obviously subscribes as substitute for God. People of Voltaire's time believed Christianity is "the art of making men drunk with ecstasy in order to divert their attention from the evils heaped upon them by those who govern them."
It's notable that since he's been president, Obama has never found a church or belief to which he is sustained. Jeremiah Wright was a useful tool and nothing else... no church, no minister... can supplant. So Obama lives a life as president identical with his life before being president: rootlessness but at bottom his religion is the state. It translates practically into humanism-atheism... which comes down to a variant of Marxism.
Marxism which started in the 19th century is essentially humanist, affirming the towering domination of man. Marx like Obama believed in essential economic rationale meaning that the production of goods and services form the real basis of society. Economics is totally under man's control and he need not look to any god beyond his own collective genius to achieve happiness. Among intellectuals there are two ways of looking at the purpose of human life. One is to begin with the world and allow one's intellect to soar after that to God. That is what's called philosophy. The other is to begin with God and allow one's intellect to explore the world. That's what's known as theology. Obama follows neither route. That's why he has tried to redefine what we believe as "ideals and a set of values."
It boils down to the state. Obama is a pragmatic materialist, an atheist-humanist who has placed the totality of his belief in man and the state as created by man. That's what I believe he is. Tell me if you agree or disagree by writing me at email@example.com

Aprima Improves Medical Practices' Coding and Billing Accuracy with Intelligent Medical Objects' Tools
Clinician-friendly searching, extended code and terminology mappings now available for electronic health record users
DALLAS – Oct. 6, 2009 – Aprima Medical Software (originally iMedica), a leading developer of electronic health record (EHR) and practice management (PM) systems for medical practices, today announced a strategic partnership with Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO®), a developer of medical vocabulary and corresponding software applications. Aprima will offer its physician practice customers code and terminology mappings, expanded search capabilities and IMO's vocabulary products, including IMO® Problem IT™ and IMO® ProcedureIT™.
EHR users rely on The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), to derive diagnoses for billing purposes. ICD-9-CM codes are grouped into major categories and the physician has a choice of about 15,000 medical terms to describe a patient's medical condition. Due to the generalness of the categories and the limited number of terms available for diagnosis, physicians can often inaccurately describe or code a condition.
"With IMO, Aprima is able to make 180,000-plus terms available to its physician customers, enabling them to capture physician intent for patient problem lists, past medical history and assessments. This allows for enhanced documentation as well as coding for billing and outcome analysis," says Frank Naeymi-Rad, President and Chief Executive Officer of IMO. "With an all- inclusive terminology bank, a common ground for health vocabulary is created among researcher, pharmacist, patient, physician and reimbursement services, allowing for seamless communication of medical information and maximized focus on patient care as well as coding compliance."
Physicians using Aprima's EHR will have access to IMO's database of synonyms, acronyms, eponyms, abbreviations and even common misspellings of medical conditions to better find the appropriate terms they need. IMO keeps its data timely with 10 annual updates. This allows for better preparedness and response to unexpected health crises, such as H1N1 influenza.
Use of the tenth revision (ICD-10-CM) will be mandated in the U.S. on October 2013. Aprima physicians are mapped to ICD-9-CM and will receive maps to ICD-10-CM through IMO.
"This relationship allows Aprima to provide our customers with the most advanced medical lexicon available so they can improve coding and minimize the number of denied claims," said Neil Simon, Chief Operating Officer of Aprima. "IMO was able to integrate its software into our solution, offering our physicians immediate expansion on their coding capability, without workflow interruption. In addition, since we want prospects to sample the IMO functionality, we established a page on our web site where it can be evaluated for free."
"With this service, practicing clinician users will appreciate finding and using the terms that they want for clinical documentation." says Dr. Amy Y. Wang, Chief Medical Officer of IMO. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation has recently released the first version of the CORE (Clinical Observations Recording and Encoding) subset of SNOMED® CT™ to be the foundation for meaningful use measurement. "IMO® Problem IT's maps to SNOMED® CT support meaningful use and Aprima users will be in compliance with the NLM SNOMED® CT CORE subset when it is mandated for use," adds Dr. Wang.
Aprima's single database, single-application EHR and PM solution gives users access to the IMO data on demand, an advantage over other EHR/ PM systems with separate databases. Aprima's unique, template-free design enables providers to follow their own protocols while its adaptive learning feature speeds adoption and deployment.
About Intelligent Medical Objects
Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO) develops, manages, and licenses medical vocabularies and software applications using the medical vocabulary for health care organizations. IMO's Clinical Interface Terminology products, including IMO® Problem IT™, provides seamless mapping of diagnostic terminologies to billing codes and medical concepts.

Today is 'World Emoji Day'… WTF?
We're not sure what's worse: the fact emojis have been granted their very own day (ie: today is, believe it or not, 'World Emoji Day') or the fact there's a film dedicated to the ubiquitous and annoying buggers. Actually, what may be worse is the film's key poster art which depicts a turd emoji… of the hundreds of choices the producers had to pick from.
The Emoji Movie is an animated feature that "delves into the secret world inside your smartphone". Here's its ridiculous premise: hidden within the messaging app is 'Textopolis', a bustling city where thousands of emojis live, work and play. In this land, each emoji is stuck with just one facial expression – except for Gene (voiced by T.J. Miller), an animated character who's bursting with multiple expressions – a talent frowned upon in the emoji community (that is, if members are able to frown).
The film also features the voices of James Corden, Anna Faris, Jennifer Coolidge, Maya Rudolph, Sofia Vergara and Patrick Stewart. The fact these otherwise fab actors have lent their vocals to such a tedious project should be enough evidence that things in Hollywood are getting tight and desperate.
While the film is due for release in the northern hemisphere on August 4 and in Australian cinemas on September 14, emoji "fans"far and wide have gotten together to set the world's first Guinness World Records title for the "Largest gathering of people dressed as emoji faces simultaneously across multiple venues".
Clearly, some people have way too much time on their hands. Antonino Tati
'The Emoji Movie' is out September 14. See the trailer above, if you dare.

Craig Wayne Boyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd Do 'Sweet Home Alabama' on 'The Voice' [Watch]
Yes, Craig Wayne Boyd won Season 7 of 'The Voice,' but it was before his name was called that he got the opportunity of a lifetime. The country rocker took the stage with Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd during Tuesday's finale.
Host Carson Daly said it best when he introduced the song, noting how well the two artists' sounds would match -- and he was right. They performed a collaboration of the band's most notable hit, 'Sweet Home Alabama,' and the moment the lights came on, Boyd's excitement was evident.
Really, it seemed to be the most fun the singer has ever had! He even played air guitar during the set, and from his red chair, coach Blake Shelton was also armed with an air instrument.
The crowd loved it, too, and evidently so did America, as Boyd was ultimately named 'The Voice' winner for Season 7, marking Shelton's fourth win.

|Official Title ICMJE
|A Phase 2, Multicentre, Single Arm, Pilot Study to Assess the Efficacy and the Safety of 150 mg Twice a Day Oral DF2156A in Patients With Active Bullous Pemphigoid.
|Brief Summary
The study will be a phase 2, multicentre, single arm, pilot study. It has been designed to determine if DF2156A has sufficient activity to warrant its further development.
A total of twelve (12) BP patients will be involved, who will be administered DF2156A orally at the dose of 150 mg twice a day for a maximum of 14 days.
Recruitment will be competitive among the study sites, until the planned number of patients is enrolled. Competitive recruitment has been chosen to increase the speed of recruitment and to account for any unexpected occurrence at a site that negatively impact enrolment rate.
The single arm design has been chosen as an appropriate tool for this pilot phase 2 study, considering that BP is a rare disease where a placebo control is not acceptable. Moreover, as there is no spontaneous acute recovery from the active blistering condition, any improvement in patient outcome can be attributed to a positive effect of the Investigational Product.
Each patient will be involved in the study for a screening period, for 14 days of treatment, for all required measurements up to hospital discharge (planned on day 8+1 of treatment) and for one assessment occasion on day 15+1, either during hospital stay or after hospital discharge (out-patient visit). An optional post-treatment visit might be scheduled at day 30+3.
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether DF2156A has a potential in improving the clinical outcome in patients with active blistering BP to warrant its further development. The safety of DF2156A in the specific clinical setting will be also evaluated.

MOK Specialty Coffee Roastery & Bar opened a few weeks ago at the end of the rue Dansaert, and it has become my favorite place for a 30′ me-time.
It had been a while. Just me,
my smartphone and a nice cup of coffee.
God knows we were missing a good coffee bar along the canal. I mean, we have it all : the Walvis for a Vedett (on the terrace on sunny evenings, cosy and warm inside the other days), the oh so friendly Bistro du canal for a tasty meal with a lovely glass of wine.
But we didn't have any good coffee bar in the neighbourhood.
Now, when MOK opened, it had no choice but to be good. At least, its trendy façade created expectations.
To be clear : it met them.
It is quiet, bright, the coffee is good and I just can't resist their pastries (I don't remember ever feeling like eating a Bolus – what happened?).
MOK is a micro coffee roastery : you can enjoy your coffee at the bar or on the few small tables behind, casually help yourself for a refill, take a cup away, or a pack of coffee to savour at home.
If you lose track of time, no worries, they propose fresh toasts, sandwiches and salads.
Oh, I forgot to mention, they are from Leuven : read, sympathetic and relaxed. They like to share their passion and organize coffee cupping.
MOK Specialty Coffee Roastery & Bar, rue Dansaert, 196, 1000 Brussels
Some other nice adresses? Sometimes all you need is a nice cup of coffee

does death
always have to come
with vain
if the proper steps aren't taken,
if you decide
to sit with it for a while,
why the loss of something,
can't just stand still, be what it is,
a truth that lays down
beneath the dirt besides its owner,
doesn't trickle into the water
asking you to take a drink,
to take it as your own.
it's hard work, making sense of it;
but maybe we are responsible, in part.
maybe we can choose, if we are willing,
if we are able, to hold onto the love
that you have lost and rekindle it,
make it something valuable, something important–
something that, in it's own way,
allows us to say,
"At least he didn't die in vain."
