Happy Halloween!
What a great evening!
The Halloween fun always starts with getting ready! As the boys have gotten older this daunting task has gotten a lot easier. However, mommy had this wonderful idea to hot roll Makenzie's hair so that she would fit the part of her costume. Really it was a ton of fun and Makenzie only got fed up with my antics a couple of times.
What a beautiful little girl! After the rollers where out I took Makenzie to the mirror to show her how beautiful she was and the size of her grin was unmeasurable. She loves being a little girl!
With all of the kids dressed I think we were now ready to hit the road!
So just before dark we headed out to beg for candy. LOL! Most years there is snow on the ground but tonight it was a very pleasant evening. Makenzie loved watching the boys run up and down the walkways and giggled every time she heard the uproar of the trick-or-treats.
My boys are not easily scared but let me tell one of our neighbors got them this year. I so wish I had a video! As the boys walked up to the house they hit about the garage before the chain saw reved up. I had one certain little 11 year old almost in my arms.....mind you I was standing across the street at the moment! I laughed so hard. Not much gets that kid but man was he scared!
After the sun went down the temperature dropped and it was time to bundle Miss Makenzie up. Now she was the cutest little snow bunny you had ever seen! Two costumes... one night! LOL
The boys got tons of candy! The end of the road was Makenzie's PT's home. This is now the 3rd year we have trick-or-treated up to her house. We sat and visited while the boys organized and traded their candy! They now have 3 days to eat it before it becomes MINE! The countdown is on....3,2,1 .... they had better save me some Snickers!
The best part was, after the boys had put away their candy, Makenzie had finished her dinner, and a cup of tea had warmed my soul, we got a ride home!
Goodbye Halloween 2010.... see ya again next year!
Believe... Prayer Works!

2014 NBA draft team needs: Boston Celtics
Meet the Boston Celtics as they prepare for the 2014 NBA draft on June 26.
2014 picks: First round, No. 6 and No. 17 (from Brooklyn Nets).
2013-14 record: 25-57 (4th in Atlantic Division).
2013-14 statistics: 96.2 points per game (26th in NBA), 100.7 points allowed per game (13th in NBA), 1,706 free throw attempts (27th in NBA), 980 offensive rebounds (7th in NBA).
2013 draft recap: No. 13 overall pick Kelly Olynyk had a rough first half but improved as the season went on, averaging 10.1 points and 5.8 rebounds in 21.0 minutes a game for the final 41 games of the Celtics season. Olynyk's offensive skills were on display as he shot 38.0% on three-pointers and 49.2% from the field in that stretch. He is viewed as an important part of the rebuilding process. The Celtics also used three undrafted rookies.
Decision-maker: Celtics President Danny Ainge is one of the most respected in the league, evidenced by several of his protégés being hired to run organizations. Ainge stresses blending modern and traditional approaches in personnel selection. Assistant general manager Mike Zarren, a Harvard Law School graduate, leads the Celtics' advanced analytics pursuits and plays a major role in Ainge's operation. Second-year coach Brad Stevens was hired with this blend in mind and is expected to have input in personnel decisions as he enters his first draft season.
Biggest offseason decisions
Point guard Rajon Rondo is an unrestricted free agent in 2015, and much of the Celtics' future will be decided based on the plan for Rondo. Boston would love to keep the mercurial four-time All-Star, who missed 96 games over the last two seasons mostly because of a knee injury, but Ainge first needs to decide if he can build a contender quickly enough to appease him.
The Celtics are among many teams pursuing the Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Love and generally would love to add another star. But the Celtics also have a solid future in place.
Shooting guard Avery Bradley, a restricted free agent, is part of that and could draw a high price for his defensive abilities. Power forward Kris Humphries and guards Jerryd Bayless and Keith Bogans almost certainly will walk in free agency. The Celtics do have three guards on non-guaranteed minimum contracts from last season who could be kept: Chris Johnson, Phil Pressey and Chris Babb. Pressey had the biggest role because of Rondo's injury, but Johnson is most likely to stick.
Draft priorities
1. Power forward: Brandon Bass' oversized contract expires after the season, and he is a much better fit in a reserve role. Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk both can play either big man spot, but pairing them would make for weak interior defense. Because this draft is light at the center position after potential No. 1 pick Joel Embiid, the Celtics should consider Indiana's Noah Vonleh with their No. 6 pick. Vonleh has a wide range of offensive skills but also is a ferocious rebounder with a lot of potential to develop into a great defender. Vonleh, Olynyk and Sullinger all are capable long-range shooters who also can score inside, setting up matchup nightmares for defenses. Kentucky's Julius Randle also could be a good contrast player because he's a more aggressive paint scorer.
2. Shooting guard: Bradley might be too expensive to keep, in which case this need becomes No. 1 for the Celtics. The best shooting guard prospects in the draft are UCLA's Zach LaVine, Michigan State's Gary Harris, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Kentucky's James Young. LaVine is the only one with enough upside to consider at No. 6, but there's a good chance one of the latter three could be around at No. 17. The Celtics also could pursue Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart at No. 6 and convert him from point guard to shooting guard to play alongside Rondo.
3. Point guard: Rondo needs a backup, as evidenced by the minutes Pressey played last season. There should be several good options at No. 17, including Louisiana-Lafayette's Elfrid Payton, who can match Rondo's athleticism. Connecticut's Shabazz Napier is a more traditional backup and probably is more prepared to contribute immediately. But with the distinct possibility that Rondo might be headed elsewhere, Payton's upside wins out.

When I got home from Chicago, I was sick for about a week and a half (head cold/sinus stuff), so that stopped me from running as much as I had planned on.
Saturday's run was 5 miles. I had been planning on 10, but I just couldn't get out of bed early enough. I got to the park around 8, and it was already miserably hot. I had to stop several times just to drink my water, wipe the sweat out of my eyes and try to breathe!
I've always said I would rather run in this heat than in the winter snow, but I think I may be changing my mind on that...
I ran by this awesome door on someone's fence. The owner must be a runner too!
Have you guys heard of Beachbody on Demand? I just found out about it this weekend. You can stream BB videos, for around $12 a month. But you get a free 30 day trial to try it out.
I am SO excited about it. I have lots of workout dvd's, but I'm tired of them all, so this way I'll get to try some new ones! (Don't worry, I'm not a coach trying to sell anything.)
|I think I'm going to start with Hammer and Chisel
Thursday will be the highlight of my week. My little sister will be returning from Zimbabwe! She and her hubby went there 4 months ago. I can't wait to see her again.
Have a wonderful week!!


text: Lesley Barth New York City Lesley Barth's debut full-length Green Hearts, a 2017 concept album charting the course of young love, has been referred to as "one of the most intelligent, evocative pop albums to appear in recent years (Anti-Heroin Chic)." "Intelligent" and "evocative" are appropriate words for her thoughtful and inquisitive lyrics that vividly paint curiosity, heartbreak, and longing in ways that move listeners deeply. Drawing frequent comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Fleetwood Mac, with a commanding and singular voice reminiscent of Natalie Merchant, Barth shapes these influences into a unique viewpoint - a mixture of confessional songwriting, poetry, and wry observations about human nature. Her songs find the beauty in pain and the bittersweet nature of fleeting joy, as her songs seem to rotate seemingly straight-forward concepts around 360 degrees to expose the complexities of love, sadness, and other emotions. Praised for her clever lyrics and craftswoman approach to songwriting (writing 30 songs in 30 days to celebrate turning 30, for example), Barth performs frequently to large and intimate crowds. Her rich voice immediately grabs the listener as she weaves engaging stories on solo guitar, piano, or with a full band that invites the audience into her world, laying bare her own emotions to help them access theirs. Barth is releasing her first single since "blowing up her world" and quitting her day job in March of 2018 to focus on music. Pinwheels, featuring and co-written by Shannon Soderlund and Chelsey Coy (of Punch The Sun and Single Girl, Married Girl, respectively), is out on Friday, October 12th.

Apple's PowerBook and MacBook Pro keyboards
One of the features I've always admired in Apple's Pro notebook line is the lighted keyboard. Actually, the 12″ model has never had this feature, but here's how it looks and works.
There's a fiber optic lighting system built-in to the keyboard and there's an ambient light sensor hidden behind one of the speaker grills. When the light sensor detects that there's not much light in the room it does two things automatically. It dims the display brightness to make it less overpowering and it ramps up the backlighting behind each key so you can see them even in a dark room. And it's constantly monitored by the system as lighting conditions change. For example, as the room brightness increases the display brightness increases and the keys brightness decreases.
So if you wake up early in the morning and think of something you need to type on your computer, you just wake it up and begin working without having to turn on any lights in the room. Very handy if you're inclined to not wake anyone else.
Here's a tip I learned by accident. I keep my Mac OS X system secure by having it configured to require a password whenever it awakes from sleep. So for example, when I awoke this morning and wanted to use my Mac, it required me to enter in the correct password to access the system. Something I've been annoyed about is that when the password dialog window pops up on the display when you first awaken the computer, if the room is dark, the keyboard lighting system does not kick-in. So I usually tip the display inwards a bit so that I can see the keys until I get the password typed. Then the system properly activates the keyboard. Well what I learned is that if you wait and let the security password dialog time-out it closes and the screen goes dark. And if you then type any key it wakes back up. However this time it turns on the keyboard backlighting. Very cool.

Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Loire
LOIRE (lwär), the longest river in France, rising in the Cévennes, in the department of Ardèche, at an elevation of 4,511 feet, flowing in a N. and N. W. direction through the center of France as far as Orléans, where it bends round to the S. W. and continues on to Tours; thence following, in general, a W. course to its embouchure in the Bay of Biscay. It is tidal to Nantes, 35 miles from its mouth; entire length, 620 miles. It becomes navigable a little above Roanne, 550 miles from the sea. The Loire is notorious for the destructive inundations it causes, though the lower part of its course is protected by large dykes or levès, 20 feet high. The principal tributaries are the Nièvre and the Maine (which is formed by the Sarthe, its affluent the Loir, and the Mayenne) on the right; and the Allier, Cher, Indre, and Vienne, on the left. The Loire is canalized along considerable stretches of its course, and is connected with the Seine, the Saône, and the harbor of Brest by canals. Its valley is extremely fertile. Area of drainage basin, 44,450 square miles.

We are here to learn about love
Posted by jmillman on 29 Sep 2012 . Filed under: Uncategorized
Up until recently, when someone died they were dead. In the past 60 -70 years, scientific technology has given medical doctors devices like heart defibrillators and respirators that have allowed us to bring people back from the jaws of death. Without spontaneous breathing or cardiac activity these individuals were declared dead. With CPR life was restored and survivors were able to reveal what they experienced while clinically dead. The stories they told were amazingly similar to each other. I relate the details in Chapter 6—Transition.
At the conclusion of recounting the story of their death experience, they were asked a simple open-ended question : "Was there anything that you learned on the other side that you brought back with you that you want to share with me?" According to Raymond Moody,M.D. who did this research in the 1970's, all of them, in their own words, said basically the same thing : we are here to learn about love. It wasn't about acquiring money or fame or power …. our souls come into physical form with the primary intention to learn to love others, and even more importantly, to learn to love ourselves.
Learning the value and importance of self-love is one of the most difficult lessons for each of us to learn here in earthschool. Unlike self-ish, where someone else is hurt in the pursuit of meeting your own needs, self-love is an act or thought that nurtures yourself without harm to anyone. Doing for yourself requires the self-esteem to feel worthy enough to give to yourself. Your challenge is to love yourself as much as God loves you.

There has been much gnashing of teeth over the failure of the legal profession to embrace technological innovation as a way to increase the efficiency and affordability of legal services. In the 2016 Report on the Future of Legal Services in the United States, dedicated to the estimated 80% of people of limited means "without meaningful access to our justice system," the American Bar Association (ABA) acknowledged that efforts to address the access to justice crisis have been hampered by resistance to technological changes and innovations. It was further noted that the legal profession has failed to keep pace with industries such as medicine and personal finance which have invested in technologies to improve service and client relationships. In an effort to catch up, Recommendation 6 of the Report was to establish an ABA Center for Innovation.
The Center was established in 2016 with the mission to "Encourage and accelerate innovations that improve the affordability, effectiveness, efficiency, and accessibility of legal services." It operates by encouraging and supporting partnerships and initiatives and by funding fellowships.
According to the website, on rare occasions, the Center will initiate and lead a project such as it has done with the Louisiana Flood App project. The Center partnered with Stanford University and LSU law schools to create the app that helped 2016 Louisiana flood victims qualify for FEMA disaster assistance. The app is called Flood Proof: La. Legal Help and is accessible on the Web and available for download in the Google Play and iTunes stores.
The Center also joins collaborative efforts and is currently working on two projects. One involves partnering with other ABA divisions to help the New York State Unified Court System develop an online dispute resolution system to resolve consumer debt cases more efficiently. The Center is also part of an ABA effort to create a free online legal checkup tool to help the public identify legal problems and find resources to solve them.
Funding fellowships is a large part of the Center's approach to encouraging innovation. They offer two types of fellowships – NextGen Fellows who are recently graduated attorneys who are paid a $45,000 stipend to spend one year at the ABA headquarters in Chicago or at a legal organization and Innovation Fellows who aren't required to be attorneys who take a 9 to 12 week sabbatical from their jobs to work at the ABA headquarters in Chicago. There is no stipend for Innovation Fellows.
There are currently eight fellows, two Innovation and six NextGen. And what are some of them up to?
Amanda Brown, Microsoft NextGen Fellow, is working with Microsoft, Pro Bono Net, and the Legal Services Corporation to create an online portal to help people navigate the civil justice system.
Innovation Fellow Bryan Wilson is working on the DFENDR Project which involves using data, technology, and a network of experts to identify possibly wrongfully convicted people.
Irene Mo is a NextGen Fellow who is creating tools to help low-income and marginalized people to better understand the privacy and data security risks of the Internet.
As you can see, the Center is involved in a lot of interesting projects. Check out the Center's website and blog for more information on their activities.

CHANDIGARH: While the UT has decided to construct a flyover at Tribune Chowk at a cost of Rs 137 crore, experts say it will create a mess at other chowks on the national highway, defeating the aim of ensuring seamless traffic on the national highway up to Zirarkpur.
ATLANTA: South Africa's Zozibini Tunzi has been crowned Miss Universe for the year 2019, beating more than 90 contestants, including Miss India, from around the globe.
With the bulldozing fury of an iconoclast, Modi dramatically altered the Indian political landscape, flattening in the process the Grand Old Party and adding to our lexicon phrases such as Tsu-Namo and India Modi-fied
Modi! Modi! Modi! Rarely is an Indian Prime Minister accorded such a rapturous reception by audiences wherever he speaks, whether at the numerous political rallies or gatherings at Madison Square Garden in New York or the Allphones Arena in Sydney. Seldom does a single individual make such an impact that an entire year is defined by what he says, does or wants, as Narendra Modi did in 2014.
So if The Tribune has declared 2014 as the Year of Modi, it is not because of his oratorical skills (his opponents, in fact, accuse him of spending most of his time speechifying). Or for the rock-star persona that he has acquired in the past year. It is because Modi, with the bulldozing fury of an iconoclast, dramatically altered the Indian political landscape, flattening in the process the Grand Old Party and adding to our lexicon phrases such as Tsu-Namo and India Modi-fied. In doing so, he achieved Mission Impossible: Winning a clear majority for the BJP in the General Election and forming the first government in 25 years that doesn't have to depend on coalition partners.
In a country as vast and vibrant as India, it may not be wise to take a monochromatic view of developments that shaped us in 2014. There was terror constantly lurking, both within and without, that dominated the discourse. In the past month, we were witness to three such dastardly acts: In Uri, suicide bombers stormed into an Army camp and mowed down 11 soldiers and policemen; in Peshawar, AK-47 toting Islamic militants barged into an Army School and let loose a murderous fusillade that killed 150 persons, mostly students; Sydney saw a lone wolf hold hostage customers at a café, killing two of them before being gunned down by the security forces. In Syria and Iraq, a new form of Islamic extremism took root with brutal consequences.
The year saw crime and culpability apart from shame and scandal. The nation was shocked and rocked again when in Delhi a young working woman was raped by a taxi driver whom she had hired to take her home at night. In the region, self-styled godmen made news for the wrong reasons. In Haryana, one of them defied court orders for his arrest, forcing the police to engage in a pitched battle with his supporters to nab him. Another, who was charged with castrating some of his followers, unabashedly acted in a film that portrayed him in a divine light. The followers of a guru in Punjab refused to cremate his body after his death claiming that he would soon 'return' from his astral journey.
The year had many bright spots too. Indian space scientists took a stellar leap when a craft they built and launched successfully orbited Mars, earning them the distinction of being the first to get it right the first time. In Jammu and Kashmir, voters preferred the ballot over the bullet by turning out in record numbers in the recent Assembly elections. Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 to lift the football World Cup. And Rohit Sharma smashed 264 runs in an ODI to notch up a record.
If there were cheers, there were tears too, in plenty. Srinagar was inundated with unprecedented floods that turned the tourist paradise into a watery hell. In Himachal, 24 engineering students from Hyderabad, on an educational tour, were drowned when the water levels rose while they were frolicking in the Beas. A fire aboard the submarine INS Sindhuratna resulted in the death of two Navy personnel and triggered the resignation of Admiral DK Joshi — the first such on moral grounds. Internationally, the tragic shooting down of a Malaysian Airlines flight by Ukrainian rebels saw 298 passengers perish.
Yet, for India, 2014 truly belonged to Modi, who chalked out a masterly election campaign, complete with 3-D effects, to wow audiences across the country with his development mantra. Fed up of the indecisive and effete Congress-led UPA II, voters put their faith in Modi to bring about a decisive government that would deliver on its promises. Modi began well by inviting the region's leaders, including Pakistan's Prime Minister, for his swearing-in ceremony and then announced a slew of programmes, including 'Make in India' and 'Swachh Bharat' that fired the imagination of the public and sent stock markets soaring. Luck helped too with world petroleum prices dropping, pushing down inflation in India to near zero and shoring up the flagging economy.
The Opposition though felt that Modi was just a showman with little to show and mocked that the "achche din" he promised had yet to materialise. It didn't help Modi one bit when the saffron brigade shifted the focus to issues such as conversion and love jihad. Yet, by the year-end, Modi seemed to be on an extended honeymoon with voters in Haryana, Maharashtra and now Jharkhand endorsing his brand of politics. It put the BJP in the driver's seat in these states, unlike in J&K where the party made impressive gains but fell far short of a majority. In 2014, the Modi juggernaut seemed unstoppable. The New Year beckons!

To browse the content of the Salem Online History website visit the SiteMap.
The Marionberry is a bright, glossy blackberry with medium
to large fruit, somewhat longer than wide. It is
special to the area because it is named after the county in
which it was developed, and 90% of the world's Marionberries
are grown near Salem.
There are only a handful of areas in the world where caneberries
thrive and Oregon's Willamette Valley, known as the Caneberry
Capitol of the World, offers the most favorable of all climates.
The Valley's moist spring rains, and summers that are warm
in the daytime and cool at night, provide just the right conditions
to produce berries that are sweet and plump. The berry's
taste is distinctively sweet, yet has a mildly tart and lasting
flavor. It has a serious following among berry aficionados,
and is one of the most popular souvenirs purchased by visitors
to the Willamette Valley. Gifts of Marionberry jams
and syrups have been offered to lure potential football players
to the University of Oregon.
Marionberries ripen through spring and early summer, reaching
their peak during July. They are usually hand-picked
early in the day. Nearly 900 Oregon growers work with
about 20 Oregon processors to ensure that the delicate berries
are packed fresh within hours of harvest. Oregon's 1995
Marionberry crop was more than 12,300 tons. Health-minded
consumers find them a nutritional bargain. Just
65-80 calories per cup, they are high in vitamins and fiber,
yet low in sodium and fat.
Summer's fresh flavor is locked in this hybrid blackberry
developed by Oregon State University's Agricultural Research
and Development Program in Corvallis, Oregon. It is
a blackberry cross between two previous Oregon hybrids, the
smaller, but tasty Chehalem and the larger, higher-producing
Ollalie. George F. Waldo of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
began its development in 1945, and it was tested at
Willamette Valley farms. The new variety was released under
its name of Marionberry in 1956.
The Marionberry is a trailing vigorous grower, generally
producing only a few long canes which grow up to 20 feet.
The Marionberry can produce up to six tons of fruit per acre.
The quality of the Marionberry is high, with flavor superior
to the Boysenberry or Evergreen blackberries. Marionberries
are well-suited for use in local fresh markets, and are used
for commercial and home canning and freezing as well as pies,
ice cream flavoring, jams, and jellies. Marionberry jams,
syrups, preserves, and other products are shipped to Africa,
Europe, Japan, Australia, and Thailand. Just about anywhere
a commercial airliner has gone, Marionberry products have
gone there, too.
Native Americans all over North America have gathered blackberries.
Early American settlers held blackberries in highest esteem,
enjoying them fresh with cream or wine, in syrups, jams, pies,
cobblers, grunts, slumps, pandowdies, wine cordials, teas,
fruit waters, and flummeries.
Only one type of trailing blackberry is native to the West
Coast, Rubus ursinus. It has a slender trailing stem
armed with flattened prickles and is found abundantly on prairies,
burns, clearings, and dense woodlands from the Coast to the
mid-mountains, from British Columbia to Northern California
to Eastern Idaho.
The Evergreen blackberry, Rubus lacianatus is native
of England, where it is known as the cut-leaf blackberry.
It appeared in Oregon around 1850, brought to the West Coast
by explorers from England and then spread by birds.
The Himalaya blackberry was introduced by Luther Burbank
at the turn of the 1900s, named for his belief that it came
from the Himalaya mountains of Asia. In fact,
it was actually Rubus procerus of Germany.
This is the common blackberry in the Pacific Northwest, known
well as a weed, as well as a source of berries for pies and
jams, but not commercially grown.
In 1926, Philip Steffes of Sublimity, Oregon found a thornless
plant growing east of Stayton, which was identical to the
thornless Evergreen blackberry. When it was tested and found
to be as productive as the thorny form, it quickly gained
popularity as the main blackberry sold in the United States
and grown extensively in Oregon.
Salem is not only home to the world-renowned Marionberry,
but also the Zielinski blackberry. A wild variety of blackberry

was a successful cross with the Loganberry and found to have
characteristics similar to the wild blackberry. Two of these
were named Pacific and Cascade, and are grown in home gardens
for their native blackberry flavor and used for home processing.
Both are vigorous, ripen early, and produce up to four tons
per acre. The berries, however, are too soft for commercial

Today we made a transition to a new gallery system. This web application is based upon a more more modern framework, and thus, it just works better. One of the main benefits is that the search field is much more comprehensive.
Although the new gallery is already a big upgrade as it's currently integrated into this website, it will eventually include even more features. Among the new additions, we expect to have links on the pages from some select images to an online store where you can purchase prints. There will also be a smart album of latest posts.
Keep an eye out.
In addition to all the new functionality, we've also added more than a hundred new images, especially to the People section. Enjoy
Three of the most iconic photos from the Fiesta book are now on display at Art & Soul of Santa Barbara gallery in Victoria Court (downtown Santa Barbara). The photos are printed using a very special process; they are sublimated into a high-gloss surface coated on aluminum. The images are float-mounted, raising them a half-inch above the wall surface, providing a pleasing sense of depth.
This process of printing on aluminum is relatively new. We have been providing it to the Santa Barbara Bowl now for a couple of years. The dyes and pigments used in the process are as bright and saturated as any other digital printing process I've seen.
The three images chosen for this exhibit are printed at large sizes: two at 18x24 and one panorama at 18x36. The Fiesta book is also on display and for sale at the gallery. Please stop by and check them all out!
I have now made it though editing half of the over two thousand photos I took of the 2011 Queen Lili'uokalani Canoe Race. This is the world's largest long distance outrigger canoe race, held each year in Kona, Hawaii. Approximately 350 images have been posted to my Backprint Store. I'll post the best of those to the Outrigger Canoe section of my gallery soon.

TranX2 Decoder
As the heart of the TranX system, the TranX2 Decoder receives the transponder information (known as passings) from the track, which in turn sends the data to a timing computer. Compact and portable, the TranX2 Decoder is easily moved from track to track throughout your race season. Like all AMB equipment, the TranX2 Decoder undergoes extensive testing before leaving our office to ensure 100% reliability.
Detection loop
The detection loop picks up transponders as they pass over it. Since thousands of tracks across the world already have an AMB detection loop installed at the start/finish line, race day setup is as simple as attaching a few coaxial cables to the AMB decoder and turning on the computer. The dectection loop comes in two parts: the loop and the co-ax. The loop is permanently installed in the track. The two parts link together via electrical connectors.
Laptops with Orbits 4 SP2 Software
Orbits 4 SP2 is developed for various motorized sports like Motocross, Karting, Car and Motorcycle racing. Developed by AMB's Software Division, Orbits 4 SP2 offers the possibility to time several timelines on your track, adjustable print columns, intuitive wizards for starting grids, merging of races, and championship standings, as well as offering a connection for a separate administration computer for race registration and printing of results. GP Sports Timing rents laptops pre-loaded with Orbits 4 SP2 timing software. All data is cleaned of the computers between rentals so only your data will be visible to you. You can easily make a back-up file of all your data and keep it on a disc so you can re-load it prior to your next rental.

Meet the world's 'oldest' sisters: British siblings have combined age of almost 400
FOUR British sisters with a combined age of nearly 400 have the recipe for a long life – a simple diet and no foreign food.
The Latham sisters reveal that good, plain food is the recipe for their long lives
Twins Freda and Doris Latham have just celebrated their 101st birthday, and their sisters are Gladys Camp, 96, and Phillis Friend, 93.
Between them they have lived through nineteen Prime Ministers, five monarchs and survived two World Wars.
Their cumulative 391 years beats the previous record of the world's oldest set of sisters who had a combined aged of 386.
The four siblings, from Devon, put their long and record breaking life down to a healthy British diet - and avoiding spicy food.
They are now hoping to get their achievement officially recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Ms Camp lives in Kentisbury while the other three live in nearby Barnstaple.
She said: "It would be wonderful if we were officially recognised as the oldest sisters in the world. People are talking about the world, not just in this country.
"Our parents would be shocked. It is a great achievement. I think part of the reason we have survived so long is because of the food we ate.
"It was the way we were brought up - I am positive of it. Today they have all spiced up things and I don't think it does you any good.
"We had some lovely times all together when we were children."
The total figure would have been even higher but for two other sisters, Amy, 95, and May, 98, passing away recently.
Mrs Camp said: "We were very close and it is just a shame that Amy and May can not share this achievement. But they did also nearly make it to 100 as well."
Freda Latham, Phyllis Friend, Gladys Camp, and Doris Latham
It is an incredible achievement.
Mrs Camp, who used to run a petrol station and shop which is now run by her son and daughter-in-law, said her parents would be amazed to know that all six of their daughters had made it to their 90s.
She said: "Dad was only 71 when he died, and mum was 75 so there was nothing in the genes.
"It is an incredible achievement. We are really excited that we could be world record breakers."
Between them the four sisters have 11 children, 12 grandchildren, five great grandchildren and even two great great grandchildren.
The previous record was held by Lillian Brown, Dorothy Thompson, Ellen George and Sylvia Sturgess, from Leicestershire and Northampton

A Perfect God
Never let 'em see you when you're breaking
Never let 'em see you when you fall
That's how we live and that's how we try
Tell the world you've got it all together
Never let them see what's underneath
Cover it up with a crooked smile
But it only lasts for a little while
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scarred
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted
When you hear the words that you are loved
He knows where you are and where you've been
And you never have to go there again
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scarred
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
Who lived and died to give new life, to heal our imperfections
So look up and see love and let grace be enough.
-Natalie Grant
I started this post February 15 of this year. It never got published because I was tired of being sad and depressed, and I wanted to hide it and just start to pretend that I was finally okay. Rather than sob and mope around, I stopped writing, and I shoved my feelings aside. I stopped dealing with life.
Tonight, however, life shoved back and God brought me to my knees. Literally.
I had those same feelings today, the sudden and strong desire to just run, to try and get away from my problems. I felt hopeless and dead inside. I felt ashamed of my past, disappointed in my now, and 110% apprehensive of my future. I was positive that somewhere I had crossed into No Man's Land, where God couldn't even make things right. Totally damaged and beyond repair. Unlovable. Undesirable. And completely useless.
Not even worth salvaging.
I reluctantly went to Monday Night Prayer, ready to just go through the motions. I went because if I had stayed home I didn't want anyone to ask me why I hadn't shown up. I went because I really didn't have anything better to do. But God wasn't going to let me be stagnant any longer. He used MNP to remind me that there is a purpose for my life and that there's a reason why I'm here in Lubbock. He used it to remind me that I don't need to keep beating myself up about mistakes and poor decisions I've made. He used it to remind me that He is merciful and awesome in power and can soften a hardened heart.
And even though God was making Himself real and tangible to me throughout the night, I didn't stand to be prayed for because I was embarrassed and my pride wasn't willing to budge. Which is why I'm writing now.
I need prayer.
I want people to know that even though I'm broken and scarred, that we have a God who saves and loves and is fully and completely able to heal our hurting hearts and lives. And not only is He able to do that, He WANTS to do just that. He wants us to find complete satisfaction in who He is! And we have to see that even when the world seems bleak and hope appears to be lost and gone, that God truly loves us and gave us the most perfect, precious gift: Himself!
So, that's it. I'm beaten and tired. I'm overwhelmed by life. But even in this sadness and depression, my heart cries out in awe of the God who is greater than all of my problems combined. I cry out to be changed and renewed and to be made right with Him, because when I'm not, my world falls apart.
So come as you are, broken and scarred
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God!

"Do I need the light on or is darkness the key to my salvation?" After my latest Humble Bundle download, I spent many long, late nights pondering that question as I slowly but surely worked my way through my latest favorite, Closure. It's is an independent puzzler that found its start as a Newgrounds flash game. Closure has since been released for Mac and is available via a Steam purchase.
In Closure the name of the game is the manipulation of light, balancing lightness and darkness to suit your needs. Will the spots of darkness allow you to pass through a seemingly solid wall or will they cause you to tumble into the abyss, falling to your inevitable death? If these questions pique your interest, stick with me to learn more about how Closure works.
Learning Closure
As soon as you begin your game, you're plunged into darkness. You see nothing but a faceless, six-limbed creature, a ball emanating light, and instructions to press the A key. Some quick experimentation teaches you to pick the light up and carry it around, the basics of gameplay.
Once you begin to tote the light around, you learn more about the workings of Closure. It takes no time to realize the importance of light. Without light, you cannot see, touch or use any surfaces. Darkness in general means danger and death, making your small ball of light essential to your health and movement. You learn to move, to discard one ball of light in favor of another and to always strive to make your way through the final door at the end of each level.
As the tutorial adds additional elements, the final techniques you must master are the various ways in which you can interact with light. You've long understood the ball of light you carry, but additional opportunities abound. The tutorial briefly exposes you to the swivel light which you angle about according to your needs. You are also exposed to platforms which hold the balls of light. Depositing such a ball into the platform causes the platform to move, allowing you to navigate in ways which were previously impossible.
The Imminent Frustration
Post struggling your way through the tutorial, the real fun begins. You're first taken to the level selector. Here you can choose from three doors, each leading to a different world comprised of 24 levels.
When you enter a new world, Closure really starts to show its quirkiness. Your character becomes something new, whether you lose a limb, change genders, experience a costume change or grow a new face. As your character morphs, so does the world around you, placing you in challenge after challenge.
Of course this review isn't complete without at least a taste of the puzzles you have in store, right? I don't want to spoil any solutions for you, but levels include a variety of challenges. You might have to figure out how to jump through a solid wall with just one ball of light or figure out how to angle five different lights in the perfect way in order to traverse the only walkway available that level. You'll need to collect keys and deal with light that gets fainter the closer you get to it.
The challenges are incredible in that they are all somehow quite unique. With 72 levels you might expect some monotony in puzzles. Fortunately, while concepts are expanded upon from puzzle to puzzle, each level offers a very distinct challenge not found in other levels.
Final Thoughts
As I experienced (and I'm sure you will too), Closure is quite frustrating. I cursed with quite some regularity while playing through the game, and I'm sure your experience won't be any different. At times I had to shut my laptop and walk away, to avoid my desire to throw my computer against a wall. The game kicked my butt a lot of the time, and you know what? I loved every second.
Closure is tough but never impossible. Every level had a solution I could eventually figure out and this was something I noticed from the tutorial on. Elements are added throughout the game (while the tutorial is comprehensive, it certainly doesn't expose you to everything). The elements within the game are magnificently done. The game is as artsy as it gets, but never to a bad extreme. The sights and sounds pair perfectly with the frustration and despair you are sure to feel as you struggle to make it through "just one more level" before you finally crash for the night.
I really have nothing bad to say about Closure. The controls were a little frustrating at a few moments, but it was rarely an issue. What impresses me more than anything though is my desire to continue playing Closure. I've got just a few levels to beat and I don't know what I'm going to do when the game is over.
Manipulate light and dark in order to alter your world and solve puzzles in Closure.

RICHMOND, Va. – The VCU Men's Soccer team was selected second in the Atlantic 10 Conference Preseason Poll, the league announced Tuesday. In addition, junior midfielder Siad Haji (Manchester, N.H.) was named to the preseason All-Conference Team.
The Rams received 149 points and four first place votes from league coaches. Fordham was tabbed preseason favorite with 159 points and six first place votes. UMass (144) and Rhode Island (124) rounded out the top four. Although VCU has lost seven seniors from last season, its potential was not overlooked by the coaches around the league.
"I think it says a lot about our program that we can lose seven seniors, all of whom started between 40-65 games for us over the last four years, and still be picked as one of the favorites in the league. I think it's going to be another very strong year for the A-10, and I can't wait to see how the season plays out," said VCU Head Coach David Giffard.
Haji, the No. 19 ranked player in the nation according to Top Drawer Soccer, scored two goals and was credited with eight assists in 19 matches last season for the Rams. He has also been called up to the U.S. Men's National Team for the U-20 2019 World Cup.
"Siad is one of the top players in the country, so it's nice for him to get recognized after being snubbed at the end of 2017, mostly because of how many strong seniors we had in the group," he said.
The Rams return 18 players from the 2017 squad that finished 12-7, reached the A-10 Championship Match and received the No. 16 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Sophomores Ulrik Edvarsen (Bergen, Norway) and Mario Sequeira (San Jose, Costa Rica) also return for VCU after earning All-Atlantic 10 Rookie Team honors. They were both named to Top Drawer Soccer's Top 100 Freshman list last season. Edvarsen also earned National All-Freshman Team honors from College Soccer News.
VCU looks to fill the void left by the graduation of 2017 A-10 Player of the Year Rafael Andrade Santos and All-Atlantic 10 Second Team selections Francesco Amorosino and Luc Fatton.
The Rams kick off their 40thseason on Friday, Aug. 24 against Georgie Southern at 5 p.m. at Sports Backers Stadium.

Gardens in Aranjuez
Aranjuez Royal Palace
Playground of kings and source of inspiration for artists, Aranjuez Gardens are an immense space where art and nature blend in a harmonious landscape. South of Madrid, this evocative site, full of fountains, sculptures and hundred-year-old trees bear witness to the Spanish monarchy's splendour.
Situated on the fertile plains of the Tajo river, and less than an hour from Madrid, is Aranjuez, chosen by the monarchy and Spanish Court for rest and leisure during the 17th and 18th centuries, and whose cultural landscape has been declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Take a stroll through this royal town and enjoy monumental gems like the Royal Palace and the surrounding gardens, including the El Príncipe, La Isla and El Parterre gardens, a delightful ensemble whose beauty has inspired universal artists, such as the great Joaquín Rodrigo, probably the artist who has best expressed the feelings evoked by the place in his well-known Concierto of Aranjuez.
Next to the Palace, flanked by the tranquil waters of the Tajo River, is the La Isla Garden, considered the most important and typical of the Hapsburgs era (16th century). White marble nymphs adorn the staircase leading to this cool orchard, where queen Isabel II would go for walks. The box tree's array of scents fills the paths (laid out in grid formation), while the joyful, constant rumour of fountains and waterfalls can be heard in the background. Take a stroll through this garden and you will discover intimate spots adorned with mythological sculptures making this suggestive isle even more beautiful.
A small gate opens on to El Parterre Garden, located in front of the Palace façade, with endless paths lined with geometrically-shaped hedges, following the French trend of the era. The paths that criss-cross the garden are silent witnesses to the comings and goings of past monarchs and are adorned with marble vases, bright, colourful flowers and beautiful fountains, such as the Hércules and Ceres, allegories of Classical culture.
There is nothing better than a stroll through the El Príncipe Garden, to calm your soul, especially in autumn when the wide paths are like carpets of yellow and ochre leaves. Its hundred and fifty hectares are a paradise of peace, designed in the English style of the 18th century and form a serene landscape accompanied by the whisper of the Tajo River. The garden has large areas for hunting, in contrast to the secluded dining pavilions, more aimed at solitary meditation, and all accompanied by the song of starlings and pheasants. Among the many secrets hidden in this surprising, suggestive and immense garden, there are a wide variety of trees, fountains, ponds and monuments such as the Casa del Labrador.
A ride on the 19th century steam-driven Strawberry Train, that runs from Madrid to the Royal Residence of Aranjuez from May to October, is an extra touch that will make a visit to the site even more attractive.

Inhumans (2017 - )
- Latest News
- Synopsis
The Inhumans is a Marvel TV series formed from a partnership between ABC and IMAX, that for the first time in TV history, will debut its two-hour premiere theatrically on the biggest of screens. It'll explore the never-before-told adventure of Black Bolt and the royal family as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Marvel Comics' "The Inhumans" refers to the race of super humans introduced in the Fantastic Four books in December 1965. Since then, the Inhumans, led by King Black Bolt, began appearing in other Marvel comic series, until their own book debuted in October 1975. More recently, Marvel has pushed them to the forefront in an effort to bolster their appeal since they own the TV and film rights to the characters. The ABC TV series will follow the Royal Family who lead the species first introduced in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as they lead their people through different circumstances while battling conflicts amongst themselves at the same time. It was initially planned as a film towards the end of MCU's Phase 3 but was scrapped during leadership changes at Marvel Studios and Marvel Entertainment.
Black Bolt (Anson Mount) is the head of the Royal family which rules over the Inhumans city of Attilan, currently located on the moon, and his brother Maximus (Iwan Rheon) will attempt to overthrow him. Their origins date back millennia and are the result of an experiment performed by the Kree aliens on ancient humans called Terrigenesis that gave individuals unique super powers. The Kree were at the time interested in the evolutionary speed of humans while their own species remained stagnant in that regard so they experiment on other species to bio-engineer an army for their war with the Skrulls.

Depending on the severity and cause of the grinding, bruxism treatment can vary from practicing relaxation techniques and using muscle relaxants to advanced microsurgery and jaw repositioning. Managing stress can also alleviate some symptoms of bruxism. Wearing a fitted mouthpiece or completing orthodontic treatment may be necessary in other cases.
Grinding, clenching, or gnashing teeth together is technically called bruxism. When teeth are coming together with force in an up-and-down pressure or in a closed back-and-forth motion, damage to the teeth, jaw, and facial muscles can occur. Causes of bruxism typically fall into several categories.
An accident or one-time blow to the face and neck area can misalign the jaw function often controlled by the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Times of high stress due to life events or work pressures can lead to a tendency to clench or gnash teeth during the day or while sleeping. Dental work can shift the bite of teeth so that higher teeth from a crown, for example, may start to self-adjust by grinding down upper or lower teeth to achieve a comfortable fit for the joints. Some who suffer from bruxism may not be able to recognize the start of the problem.
Bruxism treatment is complicated by first diagnosing the condition. Many discover the problem by noticing increased head, neck, and facial pain and then begin talking to doctors. Since a high number of patients generally grind during the night while sleeping, they may not consult a dental professional until tooth problems come about over time. Dentists and orthodontists typically are trained to identify grinding and pain sources based on the bite alignment and surface condition of the teeth, which can lead to a set of diagnostic tests and imaging to isolate the hot spots and begin a bruxism treatment plan.
Some who experience clenching and grinding are relieved of the symptoms as stress is reduced through lifestyle changes. Breathing deeply, massaging face and neck muscles, lessening caffeine and alcohol use, and taking frequent breaks from stressful activities can lessen and even eliminate the problem. More chronic forms of bruxism generally are treated in the mouth with the fitting of a specialized teeth or night guard to prevent the teeth from coming together until inflammation in the jaw, or TMJ, subsides. This course of bruxism treatment can be short-term or may be prolonged in stages over several years. Providing injection therapy—sometimes with the use of needle pressure alone—can release the muscle trigger points or spasms and provide complementary relief for those who wear appliances or mouth pieces.
Surgery for bruxism is an option for those who suffer from chronic pain or who may have experienced trauma to the facial region that needs repair. Surgical techniques have a varied success rate, with some patients reaching complete alleviation of symptoms, while others experience a return to grinding after surgery. In seeking bruxism treatment options, trying the least invasive methods first is typically advisable.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Pretty awesome news and something fun for you guys: Cut Out + Keep named me their latest DIY Fashionista (yay!) and asked me to share a fashion-based tutorial (this has actually been in the making for a while, hence my shorter hair in the photos).
I immediately knew what I wanted to write about: a recent personal project where I DIYed a Peter Pan collar onto a thrifted mens shirt! I'm a crafter at heart and am always looking for inventive ways to personalize my wardrobe. A while ago, I saw a very cute (but rather expensive) shirt and realized I could make a similar version myself.
So I did.
And it was actually pretty easy!
The inspiration? A gorgeous menswear-inspired button-down shirt with a pointed collar by ADDA (I think it retailed for around $100). So I bought a couple of men's button-down shirts from Goodwill and a fabric remnant from JoAnn's and got to work. Here's a peek, followed by the rest of my outfit photos.

text: FrameXpress supports its muddy buddies Senior management at frameXpress always try to support staff wherever possible and this year has been no exception. When Customer Care Co-Ordinator, Hannah Griffin declared she was running in the Race For Life with a number of close friends, the company quickly offered to sponsor her. The 5k charity race involved running a muddy course, where women of any ability could climb, jog and walk their way through a variety of obstacles. There were numerous hurdles to scale around the course including giant inflatables, as well as muddy tunnels to crawl through and a scramble net to climb over. Hannah also took part in the race last year and combined this with a mini festival at her mother's pub with all funds going to the cancer charity. Hannah comments, "I think charities like this are important as everyone knows someone that has had a family member or friend go through the trauma cancer brings. A couple of my family members have had cancer and survived which is down to the research these charities do. We are hoping to do this again next year as it was such a great success." The "Muddy Buddies" ran the Race for Life on May 2nd at Weston Park, Staffordshire and together raised a total of £680 towards Cancer Research.

I've just caught up with Andrew Wilson's Sunday Politics Scotland interview from 27/05/2018. If you want to hear the words I'm taking issue with being spoken, watch here from 7:30
Verbatim, emphases mine:
"well in fact, we do the opposite of what the OBR and George Osborne has done because we don't put assumptions for growth into the numbers - we could have just said 'well we've modeled it, we think growth's going to be faster and look here, everything's fine' ... [interviewer interruption] .. well, we assume that over time the average performance of the past is the average performance of the future for inflation and growth, and we say 'what would you do?' - now the point of this Gordon if I may say is, that without making wild predictions for growth we show how over a period of 5 to 10 years - while growing the public finances, rejecting austerity, stewarding growth at the same time - we can bring discipline to the public finances sustainably."You might want to watch the clip to believe that's what he said, but it is - and it's consistent with his comment to me on Twitter that "there is no growth rate assumption".
So let's quickly unpick the bizarre logic of the first half of this extract before turning to the assertion in the second half.
He states "we don't put assumptions for growth into the numbers" before then describing the assumptions for growth they put into the numbers: "we assume that over time the average performance of the past is the average performance of the future for inflation and growth".
So they do put assumptions for growth into the numbers - which is obvious because without assumptions for growth they couldn't make the assertion he then goes on to make.
We know this anyway because the report is explicit about the assumption used to drive the analysis that AW refers to when he says "we show how over a period of 5 to 10 years [..] we can bring discipline to the public finances sustainably". He's referring to the analysis behind this graph (note how 9 years has become "5 to 10 years");
It's genuinely baffling to me that AW would say "we don't put assumptions for growth into the numbers" when the assumptions that are required to support the assertion he goes on to make are explicitly laid out in the report itself
[These aren't always easy to read: B12.18 makes explicit a 1.5% pa real GDP growth assumption]
I've been through detailed analysis of this in other blogs (eg. here) but in essence the sums are really simple (and by the way don't require any inflation assumptions at all, presumably they're in there just to allow better sounding nominal figures to be quoted).
You only need a three row spreadsheet to show that if you grow Spend 1% slower than GDP then - all other things being equal - a 5.9% deficit would indeed become less than a 3% deficit after 9 years (because spend/GDP necessarily declines). If you like, here's that in graph form and in the context of historical actuals and the various deficit figures you will see quoted in the report (more detail here)
By rights we should show this graph based on onshore GDP only, although it doesn't materially change the conclusion
OK, so we know that in fact AW has made an assumption for growth to make his statement stack up. 1.5% assumed real GDP growth means that, if spending growth is 1% less, then that's 0.5% real spending growth - which allows AW the soundbite of "growing the public finances, rejecting austerity" because real spending is increasing.
In that clearly well-rehearsed sound-bite he also says "stewarding growth at the same time" - I think maybe he should have said assuming higher growth at the same time.
So he's made a growth assumption and it's a really important one - if that assumption was less than 1.0% then he'd be advocating real spending cuts to "bring discipline to the public finances sustainably".
So let's look at some actual real GDP growth rates
- Over the "austerity decade" from 2006-07 up to 2016-17, Scottish onshore GDP showed average real growth of just 0.8% pa
- The latest forecast from the Scottish Fiscal Commission (published 31/05/2018) is for GDP growth in 2023 to be running at 0.9% pa
Now to be fair, it's true that if you go back long enough (I reckon 14 years) then you can get to an historic average real onshore GDP growth rate of 1.5% - but that takes you back to when the economy was booming. Making assertions about how you would "reject austerity" if the economic conditions were such that even George Osborne would not be suggesting austerity is hardly a meaningful contribution to the debate.
What matters is what you do when times are harder than average, when real GDP growth is less than 1.0%. Andrew Wilson works hard to be distinctly unclear about this (as did Commission member MSP Kate Forbes on Question Time) , but the Growth Commission report is clear for those who can be bothered to read it: if GDP growth was as sluggish as it has been for the last decade or as slow as the Fiscal Commission forecast, the Commission recommends embracing austerity as enthusiastically as any Tory chancellor.
Verbatim, emphases mine:
"I've got some analysis here which I'm going to share with the chamber, and hopefully it'll be ... it'll be of embarrassment to the Tories, hopefully it'll be of interest to Labour. If the spending recommendations of the Growth Commission had been applied over the past ten years, the £2.6bn real-terms cuts imposed on the budget of the Scottish government by Tory governments at Westminster would have been completely wiped out, it would have eradicated austerity in Scotland. That is the reality"
Anybody who has read this post or indeed my post on similar claims made by SNP MSP Kate Forbes on Question Time will know that that very much is not "the reality" - that is in fact a big steaming pile of horseshit.

After getting to my room and meeting a few other friends and people I know at the house, two of the current JVs showed me around the school where I used to teach. We talked a lot about our teaching experiences and it was nice and kind of weird to see my old classroom again. At the school we also ran into the principal and I spent quite a while chatting and catching up with him. After that we walking around town a bit and shared stories from being a volunteers.
That evening the JVs had me over their place for dinner. Their apartment had radically changed since last year because they added an extra bedroom and repainted part of it. At dinner I also met some other volunteer friends whom I haven't seen in over a year. We chatted a lot and had a wonderful dinner of homemade pizza and wine.

"All polishing is done by friction."—Mary Parker Follett
If you were asked whether conflict was a negative or positive concept, my bet is that you would choose negative. It's what you hear regularly: Conflict in the Middle East! Conflict in Congress! But conflict can also be positive thing, a motivation for change for the better and the main engine of progress.
People who are content with the way things are rarely seek to change. It's the ones who are not satisfied with the status quo, who see things as they might be, or as they want them to be, that push the rest of us along. And because many of us do not go willingly, there is often much conflict in society. It may not be pleasant, but history shows we tend to progress nonetheless.
The same scenario takes place in our own lives. We may go for months and years without major changes to our routines or our worlds. Then suddenly, boom! A partnership sours, a marriage fractures, businesspeople have disagreements, or neighbors begin to squabble.
We don't like to be discomfited, so we tend to react negatively to changes. It's a knee-jerk reaction. But the fact that others connected to us are dissatisfied with something in our relationships requires us to take a better look.
There are basically two choices before us and they both involve change. We can either make alterations to address the dissatisfaction, or take steps to leave the relationship. In either case, we will be in a different place once the change is effected.
In order to take control of any changing situation, you need to be proactive. So, if you're seeking to repair a relationship, you'll need to communicate openly with whoever has voiced a complaint. Often, you'll need to identify support people and professionals who may be able to assist you. If you've decided to end a relationship, you have to identify your needs clearly, in addition to estimating the needs of the other person, in order to negotiate fairly. This may also require support people and professional help.
Either way, it's important to remember that you are not incompetent, and you can deal with these changes, even if you need some help along the way. And the conflict that seemed so terrible when it first appeared may, in fact, push you to a better place in the future.

Do you want to learn how to take control of a girl's emotions and make her fall for you almost instantly?
All you need to do is use a set of interesting and persuasive techniques to convince her that you're the one.
It is easier than you think. All you need to do is use a set of interesting and persuasive techniques to convince her that you're the one and make her depend on you on an emotional level so she never considers anyone else.
High School Girls Require a Different Strategy
Before we go any further, we've got to establish the fact that high school girls are a lot different than older women. High school girls (sorry to break it to you) aren't as emotionally developed. They have self-esteem issues and are insecure about their decisions. So, high school girls use their relationships to feel good about themselves. By contrast, older women are thinking about the long term. They base their relationships on whether a guy is stable (good job) and wants to have kids.
If you are the super popular type, then just showing interest in the girl might be enough to get her to go out with you because your interest boosts her self-esteem. If you aren't so popular (I'm assuming you aren't), then you will have more work cut out for you. High school girls take cues from their friends. If her friends don't like you, then you have pretty much no chance of getting her to be your girlfriend. She might not even talk to you without getting the validation from her friends first.
Keep reading to find out how to control a girl's emotions successfully through the execution of a few secret psychological techniques…
Technique Number One:
Be Dominant
You have probably noticed by now that high school girls are naturally compliant. If you tell her to wait for you after school, she will. If you tell her that you don't like her hair color, she will dye it tomorrow. If you tell her that you won't be her boyfriend anymore unless she has sex with you…
With the proper technique, you can use this natural compliance to your advantage.
By asking (or implying) a girl to do something for you, you are send her cues that you are dominant. High school girls are attracted to dominance. Just look at all those cliques of girls who flock around the dominant girl who orders them around ceaselessly.
To get a girl's attention, start by showing her your dominance. Start small by asking her to do small things for you, like passing a message on to someone in class or picking up something for you. Over time, you will establish her role as being compliant to you.
Trust me, this might sound weird but it really works. It's a subtle way of conveying deep self-confidence without really needing to do much at all.
You can use a mind hack technique such as propinquity to do this easily – we'll come back to this in a minute.
Technique Number Two:
Control The Conversation
I know you want a girlfriend in high school (and your social status probably depends on it!), but you also don't want to be stuck listening to your girlfriend as she drones endlessly on about some stupid topic like what Jenny from wholesale mlb jerseys bio was wearing today.
To get a girlfriend in high school, you've really got to learn how to control the conversation.
The first benefit of this is that you won't have to sit through boring conversations anymore (though it doesn't really count as a conversation when she's doing all the talking). The second benefit is that you get to show your dominance.
Yes, I understand that high school boys can be a bit shy and you haven't had much time to master the art of conversation and flirting. But it doesn't have to be difficult.
Here is how you control a conversation: Every time it is going in a direction you don't like or which doesn't benefit your goal, then bring up a new topic of conversation. Of course, you can't just cut her off, ignore what she was just talking about, and say something new. That would be rude. You can however use the "rule of association."
Under the rule of association, you can pick any word from what she was talking about and use it to start a new conversation. So, if she is droning on about "my summer vacation to Bermuda where I met this really cute guy…", then you can grab the word "summer" and start talking about anything related to summer. It will be considered a logical flow of conversation. You can read more about this in our post about what to say to a girl the first time.
Another tactic you can use to control the conversation is to ask her something about herself. She will respond really well to this!
Remember: don't ever let a girl reminisce about her past relationships cheap jerseys while Beginnings you are seducing her, you could ruin your chances with her altogether.
Shut that conversation down quickly and ask her about her friends or family.
Technique Number Three:
Let Her Emotions Conflict
There is one easy technique that you can learn on how to control a high school girl's emotions and make her want to be your girlfriend badly.
With this technique, you can actually make any girl feel happy whenever she is around you and sad whenever you aren't around.
This technique is considered to be quite underhanded, though – which is why a lot of guys shy away from it.
However, if you are having trouble learning how to control a girl's emotions successfully, then you might want to take this technique into consideration someday anyway.
This technique is known as fractionation. Basically, it is a type of mind control which works by keeping a girl confused. You make her work to keep your attention. This preys on her low self-esteem. It also prevents her from becoming too comfortable with you and losing interest. Fractionation is actually a pretty complex technique to get into here. You can find out more about it in our free guide to flirting.
Technique Number Four:
Take Control
In a nutshell, this technique uses a kind of soft hypnosis and can help you take full control of a girl's emotions up to the point where she starts associating all of her emotions and thoughts with you. You shouldn't use this technique whenever you feel like it! It can have really powerful effects which may be long-lasting. You might find that a girl has become addicted to you for life, whether you like it or not!
In order to hypnotize a girl successfully, just use your conversations as a carrier of hypnotic suggestions. Now, this isn't your standard hypnosis show in which some weird guy taps you on the head and says "You will now go into a deep sleep." Instead, conversational hypnotic suggestion would be along the lines of, "Sooner or later you'll find yourself wondering about going into a deep trance. And you may do that suddenly or gradually."
Because the words are suggestions rather than being clearly defined, the person suddenly starts scratching her subconscious to fill in the pieces and decide how the sentence applies to her life. While she is doing this, she is already going into the trance.
This same approach can be applied to anything, from getting a girl to go to prom cheap mlb jerseys with you to making her break up with another guy to be your girlfriend instead.
If you do this right, you shouldn't have any trouble pushing her emotional buttons anymore and you will be able to control her emotions from then on out with ease.
This requires using a particular "mind hack" technique – to learn more about this, check out our free manual.
Technique Number Five:
Be Her Knight In Shining Armor
As cheesy as this sounds, every girl secretly wants to find her knight in shining armor – the guy who will sweep her off her feet and take her away from her dull and boring life.
This guy will also be able to protect her from everything, treat her like a queen and listen to all of the things that she has to say – a modern prince charming, so to speak.
In a nutshell, you have to try and be that guy in your dream girl's eyes.
Naturally, every girl is different though, so they might have different ideas of what this means.
Because of this, you have to make sure you understand what your dream girl really wants. Luckily, for high school girlfriends, this is often something really simple – like being driven home from school every day or having someone to sit with at lunch.
Technique Number Six:
Respect Her
You have to find out what a girl's boundaries are and respect all of the words that come out of her mouth. If you don't do this, you won't just lose her as your girlfriend. She will tell all her friends what a creep you are and you won't have any hope of getting a girlfriend in high school again!
Fortunately, ?????????????? even just a bit of listening can help you find out what her boundaries are.
Yes, you have to make it a point to listen to what she has to say and actually respond to her sexual concerns by ensuring that you don't push her too far.
This isn't to say that boundaries can't be moved. You just can't expect them to shift overnight. It seems counterintuitive, but the best way to get a girl's boundaries to move is to not try to move them at all. This will make her feel comfortable with you and she will be more likely to move things forward.
If you aren't sure what her boundaries are, then just follow her lead. Or you can try moving a bit forward and gauging her reaction. If she doesn't respond well, stop what you are doing and don't try it again until you get cues from her that she is ready!
How To Get A Girlfriend in High School… Using a "Secret" Trick
Unfortunately, emotional addiction can be quite tricky.
Although it can make you extremely happy if you are both on the same level, it can be quite tormenting and painful to only be on the receiving end of it.
So, if you want to avoid significant pain and heartache while trying to learn how to control a girl's emotions, make sure you get her addicted to you before you fall in love with her yourself.
The easiest and most effective way to get her to like you is to use a rather covert female psychology tactic that sends subliminal messages into a girl's mind (to make her like you quickly).
Whether you want to win the heart of the girl of dreams, answer your question of how to get a girlfriend in high school, or just have girls flirting with you all the time, you have to check out our free manual.

A logger defends his family from a group of dangerous drug runners.
FilmGator A private user reviewed Braven (2018)
Little bit Home Invasion, little bit Western, little bit _Die Hard_. _Braven_ sees Momoa in the titular role (maybe prepping for his upcoming role as Draven?) of this throwback action thriller, which is always a good place to start any movie. While not exactly groundbreaking, _Braven_ was more enjoyable than I had suspected it might be. The sort of thing that'd definitely be worthwhile on Netflix or matinée .
_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
