Stress Leave
My ex informed me today that duty council at the Family Court advised him to take a leave of absence from work during the court proceedings. So he is now currently on stress leave, with a letter from his Family Doctor.
I think its unethical for a lawyer to do this, but I guess anything goes in Family Court.
Has anyone else heard of this as tactic in Family Law?
I think you should let this one be.....among everything else you may be throwing at your ex.... Women have a history of being very cut throat without even realizing the damages they do. You women are very entitled.
For me....depression hit me hard...but I could not take stress leave...because I had to finance my divorce, pay child support, pay spousal support, look for a new place to live that can cover 3 heads, find a way to finance a new place to live, find a affordable vehicle, make sure my kids had everything they needed all while losing everything I worked for, life savings, my house, my car and all possessions.
For most women 99%, I truly believe they have no concept as to what this does to a man....I know my ex said what I gave her was and is not enough.
Since being single...I've dated several women that were divorced. All collecting the big bucks....shameful. One admitted it was a lottery win. Little did she know my history.
Its not a tactic..... mental health is very real. Maybe grow a true heart, and let him go.
That seems to be odd advice. Its not like a broken leg where you know in 6 weeks time the cast is off, your leg is healed and you can go back to work. Taking stress leave during court proceedings? So youre expected to take 6-20 years off work?
Good way to lose your job.
Better to take time off to go into intensive therapy and treatment for a time limited period rather than during court proceedings.
Your lawyer can request his medical and treatment records as he will have to show the court why he is taking time off and must show that it is legitimate, not just a strategy to reduce his obligations. Same goes for a mother who does this.

I thought it was odd too, because we have been separated for over a year now and he has moved on to a new relationship which he seems very happy with. Its the full table child support that he says is stressing him out, he cant afford it, and now the added Daycare cost as I am back to work would put him in a deficit (he isnt currently paying that now, but is worried a Judge could order it).
Either together or separated children do cost $$$, like newfie76 says, its hard financially to move on, where we disagree is I think its just as hard on Mom's as Dad's. Its a real struggle at least for me, to pay the rent, put food on the table, and now cover daycare. (I am on the waiting list for subsidized daycare, but the wait list I am told is over 1 year). You would think that if your off on stress leave, you would be available to watch your kids full-time, but apparently he didn't think of that, and as of tonight thinking of going back to work part-time. I wonder if a Judge would see that? If we could cut some of the daycare fees, that would REALLY help.
I want to go to the Doctors too, and sign up for one of those stress leaves, to get away from my kids, who are driving me nuts! IMO working is far less stressful.
I have little tolerance for those who claim that staying at home is somehow stressful. I do absolutely everything that a stay-at-home parent does, but I also work at a full time job. Watching kids is not stressful; unless you live in an opium den, kids are good at not dying.
Depends on the nature of your job, and the personalities of your children, I would think, as well as your own personality. Most people cope best when they have balance between both work and childcare.
I'd take a day of playing with my children over my job any day. However, I would prefer working than arguing with my kids about cleaning up after themselves and doing their homework.
As for stress leave, there are two extremes that could be happening. Yes, someone could go on a manufactured 'stress leave' not because they are experiencing unmanageable stress, but to give them a reduction in income and more time to prep for court. But family court IS very stressful and hard to deal with, and taking time away from work helps.
I suppose you could argue that the reduction in income is temporary and the person should be imputed to their full income, because if they took the stress leave due to the pressure of family court, once the trial is over, the stress should be gone and they can return to work.
What is your ex's job? Is it paid stress leave? How is he supporting himself?
In your specific case, time to remind your ex that 50-50 would involve less financial strain to him due to the offset system. And yes, if he's off work, he's perfectly able to care for the children while you work, and save you both daycare costs.
If he doesn't want 50-50, a judge is going to tell him he's got to pay table CS. If he doesn't want to care for the kids or pay CS either, I imagine that thought could be stressful.
I agree the stress that comes with this is over the top , I have dealing with this for 4 years and it seems its never going to end she just keeps asking and taking more. I have trouble just getting up for work most days.
Its an aweful situation that people get put through , my doctor has told me many times to take time off for stress leave but I just can't
I dont know the details yet on how much of income he will now get from his leave, he asked and got an extension for filling out his financial information. I do know he faxed a Dr's note to my lawyers office, and when I spoke with him the other nite, he said the Lawyer at the Family Law Clinic told him to ask for a stress leave.
He is a personal trainer and works on a base salary and commission. He does have benefits including short term disability. Also the ability to take on private clients for cash under the table, so he can support himself that way in the meantime. He also lives with his girlfriend, so I can only guess that she works and can help him with bills short term. He is willing when he returns to work to pay the table child support, but cant afford any section 7 expenses such as daycare or summer camp. I dont know how flexible Judges are when it comes to Section 7 expenses. Any advice is appreciated.
Imo the 50/50 split would be the ideal solution, but its been a struggle for over a year now to increase his access do to his work schedule . He currently sees them Wednesday nites for a dinner out, and overnights from Saturday at 5:00 pm till Sundays at 5:00 pm, but its inconsistent at times. Until our next court date in March he wants to keep the current schedule, as he does plan on returning to work when we finalize everything.
Our 3 year is Autistic, I admit I find it a struggle some days to meet his needs and yes I find it exhausting especially as a single parent. When I look back at our relationship, I think it was the strain of caring for the children that put us over the edge. I started lurking on OD for advice and legal info, and there was a poster here named LovingFather, he worked with special needs kids, and I though he would understand and give me some advice, but just as soon as I joined he disappeared hopefully off to a new life with the stress of Family Court behind him
Stress leave from work to deal with family court sounds a tad melodramatic.
Unless your ex is applying for a stay of enforcement from paying you then it would make no difference. Has he filed a stay of enforcement?
In order for him to have his income reduced (for the purposes of determining support) he would have to prove to the court that his "disability" is ongoing or permanent.
You do have a current court order or separation filed? Or is this all happening prior to that being done?
Sorry, I haven't reviewed all of your previous posts.
We have nothing so far, just a first appearance last week and a court date for March (case conference), he hasn't even done his Financial Form yet. The wheels in Family Court are slow!!!
In the meantime we are trying to hash out some of it without lawyers, hence why I am here. I need a Court Order specifically for Custody as we have an open file with CAS and they wont close it until they see a Court Order. According to my lawyer a Judge wont sign off on Custody until there is Child Support in place. We were common law so no assets involved. Just custody (which is not an issue right now) its the support payments thats the biggest issues, and then access, I am asking for 2 weeks a year (not in a row), as we currently do not split the school breaks.

Everybody likes to read their interesting based book and nobody needs to squander their opportunity with a horrendous one. Book review helps readers to comprehend about the nature of the book. The length of a book review may change from a solitary passage to a generous essay. Such a review may assess the book on the premise of individual taste.

Preface: Our chicken coop is called the coop and has been designed by the dream team, the Three Golden Eggs. Nathan so elegantly named himself the Best Egg, I deemed myself the Golden Egg, and Georgina so accurately named herself the Rotten Egg.
On Friday we build the egg box.
Now, this egg box was originally going to sit inside our coop and house four nesting boxes for the four hens that will be soon living in our lovely contraption. We had sketched the plan, measured the requirements and had everything in order for completion of our fantastic egg box. It would have a door that dropped down, a lovely, vintage latch to hold it up, and maybe even a hand made chicken mosaic on it. It was to sit on the plywood part of the coop floor and complete symmetry between the door and the window.
Our egg box was going to be utterly perfect.
So on Friday we cut the wood, began to drill and picture our lovely egg box that would soon complete our design. We knew that it was going splendid. Nathan measured and cut oh-so-accurately, I pre-drilled and readied all of our tools, and Georgina was ready to screw the pieces together. If you were too glance over on that Friday, early afternoon, we would look like we had it all together.
At the last minute, the Rotten Egg decided that it may be wise to, maybe, double check the measurements and make sure that we were on track for success. She gracefully gathered the pieces and dashed outside, and in but-a-minute was back, just as gracefully as she had left. She walked back up to our table, and without a word I grabbed the wood back, and once again, we were back on track for success.
Just as Nathan raised the drill for the first screw, with only seconds to act, Georgina yelled, "WAIT GUYS, HOLD ON." With shock, we looked over panicked at out obvious error. "Guys, it's off. The measurement is off. Our egg box will not fit into our coop." In horror, I grabbed a piece and ran outside to confirm our fatal error.
And it was true. Our boxes were too deep to fit into our coop without blocking the window AND the door.
I scrambled back in and we consulted each other in the most solemn of fashions. It was decided that we would perch the boxes on the outside of our coop, with a door on top and the same lovely, little, vintage latch. We continued with triumph, proud of the grace and speed to which we altered the design of The Coop.
With a newfound pep in our steps, we continued to bicker and mock as we worked along. All was as it should be amongst the Golden Eggs. We recut our small fixes and were off again, with a mission to finish the egg box. Hastily we drilled and measured until we had 4 walls up, and Georgina so brilliantly, proposed that we might go check the measurements. To our delightment, it worked! It fit right onto the side.
At this point we felt ready to be done with our boxes, and with haste, went inside. For validation, I checked with Ms. Oropallo. that our box was all set. And that is when she told us the bad news: The top of the boxes would have to slant downward to allow rain to flow off.
"OH WELL," Nathan said, and we altered the angles, widened the top, framed it, and prepared for completion, this time with a little less enthusiasm. In synchronization we finished the framing, tucked the box into its coop for a good night sleep, put the tarp on The Coop to shield it from the rain, and with a sigh of relief, knew that those darn egg boxes were going to be just fine.
And so that concludes the story of the infamous egg box, that so bluntly challenged our team, but forced us to think beyond our plans, and encouraged communication and innovation from the Golden Eggs.

A nearby home was being gutted and renovated, and a nice set of kitchen wall cabinets, five feet worth, was put out to the curb.
I just had to figure out what to do with them.
One wall of my shop was dedicated to pipe and bar clamp storage, but mostly the space was wasted because I only ever use but maybe four, the rest just gather dust.
So, voila, a piece of 50's architecture gets re-purposed and saved! And now, I finally have a secure, dignified place for my vintage saw collection, each awaiting restoration and sharpening. The square footage of the pegboard on which the saws previously hung will now be dedicated to extension cords and tools that were packed away, out of sight.
That's my handsaw collection; about 48 of 'em, including a bunch of D-8s and my new fave acquisition, a vintage Sandvik 14 point among others. The cabinets will be refinished inside and out, and I gotta say, it's been decades since I've worked with blockboard. Though the shelves are nailed in, I might go for adjustable inserts and shelf clips. I have not yet decided how to configure the 36" section. Our home was built in the same approximate year as these cabinets, so it's 'period correct' LOL!
I made separators for the handsaws, 1/8" stock fitted to dadoes on 5/8" centers. I can safely squeeze them together by alternating up and down, the blades do not contact one another.
Hope you like!

Now that it looks like WVU is heading to the Big 12 in 2012, what is the team's chances of second straight year to a BCS game? The Mountaineers should be able to integrate right in, and be competitive. But, where exactly do they stand? Let's take a quick look at the conference for 2012.
Baylor: No Robert Griffin III, not a lot of defense equals a rebuilding year for the Bears.
Iowa State: A bowl team from a year ago, questions at quarterback and defense will keep them midpack.
Kansas: Transition year for the Jayhawks as Charlie Weiss takes over the team. It will be interesting to see what he does at the quarterback position.
Kansas State: Quarterback Collin Klein is back, and so is much of the defense. Another solid season for the Wildcats is in the cards.
Oklahoma: Landry Jones and most of the offensive line are back, so scoring won't be a problem. Defensive needs to catch up.
Oklahoma State: Lost major keys parts on offense and defense, but should remain competitive with younger guys stepping in.
Texas: Too many questions for the offense entering the Spring to make them a true contender. Defense did step up last year, and helped the team stay in games.
TCU: The newcomer will have an explosive offense if the young line gives Casey Pachall time to throw. Will be a very competitive team right away.
Texas Tech: Plenty of talent, just a lack of execution over the last few years. Crucial year for Tommy Tuberville to get team to buy into system.

- Page 2 Performance, Apps and Camera Review
- Page 3 Camera Test Shots Review
- Excellent design
- Useful additional apps
- Easy to use operating system
- Screen isn't as sharp as other premium phones
- Performance could be speedier
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £699.00
- 4.3inch AMOLED touchscreen
- 8.0 megapixel camera
- 16GB of memory
- 1.4Ghz processor
The last in the series of Christopher Nolan's Batman movies – the Dark Knight Rises – released in cinemas on July 20 and as a tie in with the movie Nokia has produced a limited edition version of the Lumia 900 called, unsurprisingly, the Dark Knight Rises Special Edition. The handset is currently available exclusively from Phones4u for free on a £26 a month contract.
First things first, what's the different between this Batphone version and the standard Lumia 900? Basically, what you get here is the Batman logo laser etched into the rear of the phone, an exclusive Dark Knight theme for the phone, and the Dark Knight app. The latter includes trailers, info on the movie and a rewards based game that's based around Foursquare check-ins. Other than that, the phone is pretty much identical to the normal Lumia 900.
If you've seen the Lumia 800, the Lumia 900's design won't come as much of surprise, as it essentially takes it's smaller sibling's styling and supersizes it in order to fit in a larger 4.3inch screen. The phone's body is essentially a single piece of polycarbonate with Gorilla glass covering the screen on the front. There's also a chrome badge on the rear that has the Nokia logo stamped on it and which also surrounds the camera lens and LED flash.
The round edges of the phone also make it more comfortable to hold than its more angular rivals, including the iPhone 4S. Overall, it's a very elegant design, and feels robust in a way that many Android phones don't. It's is relatively wide though, due to the larger screen, so if you have more petite hands you might find it slightly awkward to hold single-handed.
Also, there are a couple of other niggles. The microUSB port is slightly awkwardly sited at the top of the phone and the power button is on the right hand side, which is different to most other smartphones on the market.
Nevertheless, like all Windows Phones this one has a dedicated camera button – something that's sadly fast disappearing from other smartphones – and we love the way you can just hold down the camera button to quickly launch the camera even if you're in a different app or the phone is in standby. Naturally there's also a standard headphone jack at the top as well as volume up and down buttons on the right hand side.
As with all Windows Phone models there are also three touch button across the bottom f the screen with the Window button (essentially a home button) in the middle, the back button on the left and the search button on the right. These are nice and responsive to use and light up when the screen is on.
Speaking of the screen, it uses AMOLED technology rather than the more usual LCD display's that most smartphones rely on. The advantage of this is that it really is searingly bright when used indoors, but unlike some of the other OLED screens we've seen brightness levels thankfully don't drop off too much once you're outside. The increase in the size of the display over the screen on the Lumia 800 does give photos and videos more impact. However, it's still stuck at the regular 480 x 800 pixels, so essentially it's just enlarging what you get on all other current Windows Phone handsets.
Thankfully Nokia has moved away from the Pentile subpixel arrangement of the screen on the 800, which caused some graininess, especially when rendering smaller text. The Nokia Lumia 900's screen uses regular RGB subpixels instead and so text and graphics actually look a fair bit sharper. However, it's no match for the high resolution screens on the iPhone 4S or Galaxy S3. Also, the colours can look a bit overly saturated and there's a blue-ish tinge on whites – something that's very noticeable when you're viewing webpages as most of them have white backgrounds.
The Nokia Lumia 900 Dark Knight Rises Special Edition isn't exactly a beast when it comes to specs either. It relies on a relatively modest single core Snapdragon processor that runs a 1.4Ghz and is twinned with 512MB of RAM. There's also 16GB of storage space for apps, photos, videos and the like. As with the iPhone, this storage space is fixed because the phone doesn't have a microSD card slot. OK, so 16GB is probably enough for most people, but it's still annoying that you haven't got the flexibility to expand it using cheap memory cards in the way that you can on most Android phones.

what a difference a decade makes
This morning I realized that yesterday was the ten-year anniversary of the first concert I ever booked. As a freshman in college I joined the WUD Music Committee after seeing their ad in the student activities guide and then attending a free concert featuring Hey Mercedes. The committee quickly became the center of my extracurricular activities and social life, and at the end of my first semester I managed to book one of my favorite bands from home, Punchline, and this little Chicago band that they were on tour with – Fall Out Boy.
The show was at the very beginning of the spring semester of 2003, and being that it was January in Wisconsin it was freezing cold and snowing. One of the people who had co-booked the show (Madcap, Count the Stars, and 504 Plan were also on the bill) had nightmares leading up to the show, dreaming that nobody came. Happily, the show ended up being packed. Below is an era-appropriate photo collage from the night, as well a video sampling of the bands that played.
504 Plan – Fathead
Count the Stars – Taking It All Back
Punchline – Play
Fall Out Boy – Chicago Is So Two Years Ago
Madcap – Going on the Road
paper tiger mixtape
When we saw that Midwestern hip-hop collective Doomtree (P.O.S, Sims, Dessa, Cecil Otter, Lazerbeak, Mike Mictlan, and Paper Tiger) was coming to town, we jumped on the chance to see if they'd make us a mixtape. Live DJ, producer, and graphic designer Paper Tiger was so kind as to agree, and has given the world an amazing mix of hip-hop, 80s, and indie to get pumped on before catching them on tour. The Madison, Wisconsin show on Friday, March 9th at Union South's The Sett is free, so be sure to come out. Stick around after – Paper Tiger and Lazerbeak will be DJing the after party.

one more week of being haunted
Owen (aka Mike Kinsella) returned to Madison on May 3, 2008 to play to a cozy crowd at Club 770. Kinsella was in good spirits, happily conversing with the crowd and cracking jokes.
"Sometimes I write a song and it sounds like Sheryl Crow, and I think, 'This is awful.' Then I write a song and it sounds like 'Chocolate Rain'…"
After finishing up a set of his own material, Kinsella decided to throw down a few Fugazi songs, a preview of his upcoming benefit show for CAASE on June 19 at Beat Kitchen in Chicago.
At this show we decided to use the video option on our super-cheap camera and captured Owen performing "The Ghost of What Should Have Been" for your viewing and listening pleasure. Of course, we're idiots and filmed it portrait style, not realizing we couldn't rotate it in editing. Oops. Just crane your neck to the left and you won't even notice.

The Best Books I Read in 2015January 11, 2016
I didn't want to let the first part of January go by without paying some homage to my favorite reads of last year. Just a single one of these picks was published in 2015; I found the majority of my joy in backlist books and, to no one's greater surprise than my own, backlist audio books. I can't believe I was staunchly refusing to listen to them back in July. Your loss, past Shaina.
A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. Le Guin
I first read Le Guin this year during a fabulous buddy-read of The Lathe of Heaven with Julianne, but this second book took the Ursula cake for me. This is middle-grade at its finest, with (non-white!) wizards and friendship and journeys across the sea, all with the goal of discovering that some of our worst demons live inside of us, and we're just going to have to make room. I still want to distribute this to every child I see.
All the Birds, Singing, by Evie Wyld
Oh, I don't even think I have words here (except the ones I linked to above). That's what Wyld's debut does to you; it sucks you into its unnerving atmosphere and takes your breath away, leaving you awestruck by its sparse, fragile beauty and fearful of what could have possibly happened to our heroine to get her where she is. If you're a fan of the unsettling, find this one ASAP. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs, by Johann Hari
The one 2015 debut and nonfiction read on my list! Hari skillfully weaves together the story of the American war on drugs and hits on all the topics that make me twitch, including the racism ingrained in how drug laws are enforced and how poorly we really understand drug addiction. Infuriating? Yes. Fascinating, accessible, and well-researched? Also yes. Anyone who cares a whit about these topics would get a lot out of this one.
Tell the Wolves I'm Home, by Carol Rifka Brunt
Another one I simply don't have words for. June might be a teenaged protagonist, but, if the book club I read this with is any indication, all ages can enjoy this relentless gut-punch of a read. Be prepared for grieving families, AIDS, and all of the hidden-away love that can possibly be crammed into one book. I will bankroll Carol Rifka Brunt if it means she'll give me an experience even remotely close to Wolves in the near future.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey (audio)
This book left me all kinds of conflicted. This story packs in some of the most memorable characters I've ever read, due in large part to Tom Parker's unparalleled performance, and the focus on mental illness and the thorny pit of modern masculinity are all up my alley. But then I remember the treatment of every single woman in the book, and I'm uncertain all over again. The sheer amount of time I spent turning this one in my mind earns it a spot among my top reads.
A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving (audio)
I haven't written a proper review for this one yet. I finished the book while trapped in the Denver airport last month, and all I could do afterward was whine incoherently and drink another margarita. This book is the very definition of sprawling, and yet Irving somehow brings it all together in the end and manages to avoid it feeling too neat. I didn't think anything could top The Cider House Rules for me, but Owen Meany did just that.
Next year, I hope more than one nonfiction selection makes this list. My nonfiction reading picked up considerably at the end of last year and the start of this year (*cough* 36-hour Hamilton audio book *cough*), and I hope this trend continues and helps me find some new, semi- to fully-factual favorites.
I would ask you to share your favorites of 2015, but I think you all beat me to this post by a mile. Have you read any of my picks? What did you think?

Nothing about this is exactly new or ground breaking but few developers (enterprise) these days add proper monitoring abilities to their apps. We (now that I mostly do administration and management of other peoples apps) that has to support these things don't come equipped with x-ray eyes or ESP pills so knowing how the the internals of 'your' works is an issue…
Classically developers tend to use stuff like log file, event log and so on to 'see' what is going on inside their apps. However, these things also pick up a lot of noise so they usually get turn off for production use but that still leaves us with the requirements that we want to know 'what your app is doing all the time' – when we want to track it. Ok, to make a long story shorter, there is such a thing like performance counters that can help us to know if your app is performing or not. What they are and what they can do for you you can go read up on MSDN, Google etc.
Now, it appears most developers are scared of these things – or just too lazy to implement them. I've created a little helper class that makes it at least a little easier to implement – without all the worries about what happens if things blow up etc. It is written is such a way that if itself 'breaks' it should not break the rest of the app (don't contribute to a bigger problem).
Setting it all up.
Creating a 'Category' is the first step in setting up a performance counter. Once it is created you don't have to recreate it again (unless you go and delete it which would be rather stupid). The following routine do just that.
PerformanceCounterCategory InitializeCategory(string category, CounterCreationData[] creationData, string instance = "") { PerformanceCounterCategory pcc = null; if (!PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists(category)) { if (instance.Length > 0) pcc = PerformanceCounterCategory.Create(category, category, PerformanceCounterCategoryType.MultiInstance, new CounterCreationDataCollection(creationData)); else pcc = PerformanceCounterCategory.Create(category, category, PerformanceCounterCategoryType.SingleInstance, new CounterCreationDataCollection(creationData)); } else pcc = new PerformanceCounterCategory(category); return pcc; }
All this does is create the category for you if it doesn't exist yet or else just returns the existing one. All you specify is the name and the definitions of the counters you want to use. Optionally you can specify an 'instance name' which is handy if you have multiple instances of the same set of 'things' you want to 'monitor'. The default is a single instance (e.g. like a global instance). Keep in mind that a single category can only have counters of one of two types – either single instance or multi-instance counters. This cannot be changed unless the whole category is deleted and recreated again.
The next step is to create run-time 'instances' of the counters.
PerformanceCounter InitializePerfCounter(string categoryName, string counterName, string instanceName = "") { PerformanceCounter counter = null; try { if (instanceName.Length > 0) { if (IsCategoryMultiInstance(categoryName)) counter = new PerformanceCounter(categoryName, counterName, instanceName, false); else RaiseWarningMessage(string.Format("Performance category '{0}' is not set up for multiple instances! ({1})", categoryName, counterName)); } else { if (!IsCategoryMultiInstance(categoryName)) counter = new PerformanceCounter(categoryName, counterName, false); else RaiseWarningMessage(string.Format("Performance category '{0}' is not set up for single instance use! ({1})", categoryName, counterName)); } if (counter != null) { counter.BeginInit(); counter.RawValue = 0; counter.EndInit(); } } catch (Exception ex) { RaiseErrorMessage(string.Format("Error initializing performance counter '{0}'!\r\n{1}", counterName, ex.ToString())); } return counter; }
There are a couple of sub-routines not listed yet. Please just ignore for now – they will be included in the attached sample code.
Next step is just how to use them – setting the values. I tend to only use two types of counters – a 'rate of' and absolute values. The 'rate of' type of counters are typically used to track the number of events or sum of something per second while absolute values track the actual value of something as it is 'now' at that moment of tracking – e.g. CPU % usage.
void SetCounterValue(PerformanceCounter counter, long value) { try { if (counter == null) { RaiseWarningMessage("Performance counter not set up or installed!"); } else { counter.RawValue = value; } } catch (Exception ex) { RaiseErrorMessage(string.Format("Increment performance counter error! : {0}\r\n{1}", counter.CounterName, ex.ToString())); } } void IncrementCounter(PerformanceCounter counter) { IncrementCounterBy(counter, 1); } void IncrementCounterBy(PerformanceCounter counter, long incBy) { try { if (counter == null) { RaiseWarningMessage("Performance counter not set up or installed!"); } else { counter.IncrementBy(incBy); } } catch (Exception ex) { RaiseErrorMessage(string.Format("Increment performance counter error! : {0}\r\n{1}", counter.CounterName, ex.ToString())); } }
In order to provide all this functionality without 'breaking' anything else I make use of 'events' e.g. RaiseWarningMessage and RaiseErrorMessage. The calling class/code don't have to make use of the events but of course that would make troubleshooting a bit harder if needed. The code for this is fairly simple:
public event MessageRaisedDelegate ErrorRaised; internal void RaiseErrorMessage(string message) { if (ErrorRaised != null) { ErrorRaised(message); } } public event MessageRaisedDelegate WarningRaised; internal void RaiseWarningMessage(string message) { if (WarningRaised != null) { WarningRaised(message); } }
It is possible to use the utility class 'as is' but I would recommend doing the following to provide 'cleaner' code. Inheriting from the class 'PerfCounterUtilBase' (not shown in above code) and implementing all the specific performance counter functionality 'you' need is a better way to so it. The following is just example code to initialize the performance counter category and counters you want to use:
void InitializePerformanceCounters() { string lastErr = "Create performance counter category error!: {0}"; try { CounterCreationData[] creationData = new CounterCreationData[] { new CounterCreationData("Clicks/Sec", "Clicks per second", PerformanceCounterType.RateOfCountsPerSecond32), new CounterCreationData("Total X value/Sec", "Sum of X values per second", PerformanceCounterType.RateOfCountsPerSecond32), new CounterCreationData("Total Y value/Sec", "Sum of Y values per second", PerformanceCounterType.RateOfCountsPerSecond32), new CounterCreationData("Last X value", "Last X value", PerformanceCounterType.NumberOfItems32), new CounterCreationData("Last Y value", "Last Y value", PerformanceCounterType.NumberOfItems32) }; InitializeCategory(Category, creationData, Instance); lastErr = "Initialize performance counter(s) error!: {0}"; clicksPerSecond = InitializePerfCounter(Category, "Clicks/Sec", Instance); xValuePerSecond = InitializePerfCounter(Category, "Total X value/Sec", Instance); yValuePerSecond = InitializePerfCounter(Category, "Total Y value/Sec", Instance); lastXValue = InitializePerfCounter(Category, "Last X value", Instance); lastYValue = InitializePerfCounter(Category, "Last Y value", Instance); } catch (Exception ex) { RaiseErrorMessage(string.Format(lastErr, ex.Message)); } }
Then you can simply have specific methods like these to use in your own code:
public void IncClicks() { IncrementCounter(clicksPerSecond); } public void IncXValues(long value) { IncrementCounterBy(xValuePerSecond, value); } ...
In 'your' code you simply do this then:
pcu = new PerfCounterExampleImplemetation(); pcu.ErrorRaised += new MessageRaisedDelegate(pcu_ErrorRaised); pcu.WarningRaised += new MessageRaisedDelegate(pcu_WarningRaised); pcu.Category = txtCategory.Text; pcu.Instance = txtInstance.Text; pcu.InitializePerformanceCounters(); ... void pcu_ErrorRaised(string message) { MessageBox.Show(message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error); } void SomeMethod() { long val = GetSomeValue(); if (pcu != null) { pcu.IncClicks(); pcu.IncXValues(val); ... } }
Now go have fun…

Is your doctor a MD or a DO? Did you know that there are two kinds of complete physicians, both fully qualified to perform surgery and prescribe medication? Is there any difference between these two kinds of doctors? The answer is both yes and no. Osteopaths treat disorders of the body by gently moving the spine, muscles, bones and joints. They help to relieve pain and improve the function of the body through techniques of manipulative therapy, medication or surgery.
MDs (allopathic physicians) focus on ridding the body of a specific disease or condition itself, going on the assumption that the disease is causing the patient's suffering. Osteopaths (Doctor of Osteopathy - DO) take a different approach, using the holistic philosophy that a person's body is an interrelated system, not just a collection of different systems. Therefore, each element in the body has an effect on everything else, including the health of the surrounding parts; and, since all these are together in one self-contained system, the whole body is affected by everything we do.
To find the cause of illness, osteopaths today use all of the recognized methods of medical investigation that we are familiar with, from lab tests to x-rays, to CAT scans. Yet the technique for which DOs are most recognized is osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT). OMT is a philosophy and technique that uses touch to repair, relieve or improve the body's functions, either by itself or as part of the overall treatment program. Touching strategic points on the body can give the doctor clues as to what's wrong with the patient. Manipulating body parts encourages the body's natural tendency toward good health. By combining all other medical procedures with OMT, osteopaths offer their patients the most comprehensive care available in medicine today.
Dr. Still is the pioneer of osteopathy and he coined the term "wellness" more than 125 years ago. Wellness consists of a number of internal and external factors, such as lifestyle choices, stress, happiness and other environmental factors. Like the naturopath, the osteopath acts as an educator to help patients take more responsibility for their own well-being and change unhealthy patterns.
The muscles, skeleton and circulation are fundamental to our health. They each work interconnectedly to keep the blood flourishing and our organs pumping. When an accident or infection overwhelms the normal balance of the body, or when one part of the body cannot function properly, the other parts will suffer. When this happens, osteopathic philosophy says that restoring the body's normal harmony in a holistic approach will relieve the ailment and restore the whole body back to health.

For many
games, simply detecting a collision when an object hits another object is enough. That sort of collision, covered in an earlier tutorial, is great for
games such as pool or mini-golf where collisions occur only when two objects
physically touch each other.
But, you also have a different type of of collision. Many
games today feature opponents who dodge and weave as you try to hit them. Games
such as Zelda have opponents who slide and weave when you fire a slow-moving
projectile such as a bow from your arrow, etc. You need some way of having your
opponents be able to predict collisions from your attacks.
Being able to predict a collision and react
accordingly adds some primitive level of intelligence to your targets. I will
explain one simple way of predicting collisions that Flash can computationally
Click near any of the above balls and notice that they move
out of the way if they lie in the path of the darker blue ball.
Unlike other tutorials on this site, I will not have you go
through the formalities of drawing the circles, making them movie clips, giving
them instance names, and copying and pasting some code. Instead, I will provide
the final source code for you to download so that I can focus more on explaining
the idea and code behind predicting collisions.
Download FLA for Flash 8 and Flash MX 2004
Download FLA for Flash 8 and Flash MX 2004
Once you unzip and open the above FLA file, you should see a
lot of circles displayed in your Flash window:
[ a guide of all
elements displayed in our FLA file ]
In the above image, I have labeled the three main elements of
our image. First, we have our main circle that moves to the point where
you click your mouse.. The targets are obstacles that will move out of
the way when our main movie clip approaches.
The path circle is different, and I have explicitly made it
visible for the purposes of explaining what it does. Preview your animation in
Flash and click somewhere in your movie clip. Notice that your path circle
propagates itself towards the area of your click:
[ our path
circles in action ]
The circle movieclip (the pink circle) acts like the guide that scouts
out the path your main movieclip passes through. Any target circle that
happens to collide with any of the pink guide circles will move out of the way. In my
example above, I have set the path circles to be invisible, for it is a detail
that the user does not need to be aware of.
For reference, the path movie clip has the instance
name circle. The main circle that moves has the instance name
circleMain, and the 7 target movie clips contain the names t1, t2,
The structure of this animation can be divided into 4 parts:
Moving the main circle after a mouse click
Drawing the path of circles to our destination
Detecting Collision
Moving colliding circles away
In the next page
I will start to explain the code that gets everything working.

And while I'm anxiously awaiting the new papers from Graphic 45, I'm using some of the very old ones as well. I managed to get this photo of Albin last weekend, and I love it so much. It's so him, so sweet and adorable. And those big blue eyes of his. It's so funny, he's such a curious little boy, interested in learning and he wants to know everything about everything. When he was a newborn, the nurses at the hospital went on and on about his big, wide open, curious eyes, and the fact that he slept very little. Already then, he didn't want to miss out on anything around him, as curious then as now. And he is getting so big, a school boy already.
This is also a photo I love - Albin and his dad walking on a dirt road together. It's from our vacation. We were heading out into the woods, looking for blueberries. And we found lots of them, more than enough to bake a really yummy blueberry cake. Oh, and I have to give credit to P for the second photo on this layout. He took care of the camera for me while I was picking berries, and even though he claims to be totally ignorant of these things, occasionally he takes a great picture or two I love how he captured the sun shinig down through the trees. It is a bit dark here though.
Have a great Sunday!

Is it time to go beyond chips and dips?
Appetizers. Hors d'oeuvres. Finger foods.
Whatever term you use, these tasty tidbits do much more than just tide guests over until dinner. In fact, the word hors d'oeuvres means "outside the main meal" – they set the stage for the meal that is to follow. They're versatile enough to awaken and enhance the appetite as a refreshing first course, yet with enough variety and quantity, they can also deliver total party sustenance all on their own. Serving a selection of these enticing bites is a sure-fire way to create a fun, festive atmosphere.
If you're serving appetizers before the meal, keep in mind they are meant to tease the appetite, not satisfy it. Two to three selections should be ample, allowing five to seven servings per person. Appetizers that provide contrast in texture, flavor and temperature deliver an assortment of taste sensations, from spicy and rich, to light and energizing. Stir up the pot by serving hors d'oeuvres that contrast with the main meal, like a seafood appetizer as a bright opener to a main course of roast beef or filet. On the other hand, if you're planning an ethnic dinner, choose an appetizer from the same origin as the meal to provide a memorable beginning and to maintain a consistent theme throughout the event.
If you're planning a cocktail party featuring appetizers, be sure to include a few selections that are hearty and filling, especially if alcohol is being served. Factor in the length of your soiré: the longer the evening lasts, the more people will eat. Plan to provide ten to twelve servings per person as a minimum. And make it easy on your party guests: they'll appreciate easy-to-grasp finger food and bite-size portions with not-too-drippy sauces.
Discover how a selection of upscale appetizers from Matteo's Gourmet Food Services is the perfect way to get your party rocking! We offer catering throughout the Las Vegas valley, including catering in Summerlin, Henderson, Boulder City, Lake Las Vegas, and many other nearby neighborhoods.

Critical Need: The Success Culture
It is no use saying, "We are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Winston Churchill
A Success Culture happens by design, not default. Success starts with a desire, and then a will, to succeed: a specific attitude. When the will is strong, either in the individual or organization, then there is a belief in success – and success will be the outcome. In building a culture of success, it is fundamental to build teams of people who know how to succeed, and thereby organizations that can succeed.
We're not talking about success alone – for we can succeed in spite of costly mistakes; we can achieve an ultimate success after many preventable failures; we can often succeed where dumb luck plays as big a role as anything else. We can succeed in spite of a poor culture; we can "beat the odds." But the odds catch up with us – and why take chances anyway?
The Business-Technology Weave is dependent on success: Your organization deserves a proper foundational culture and the right collective attitude to maintain and advance success against the challenges of a changing world. So – we need to succeed on an intelligently designed basis – we must commit to succeeding on the most effective and continuous basis. We will have a lock on success. That lock will be for anything we do: analysis, proper fits, implementations, progressions for the future, programming, reports, policies and plans, etc. Name it: Anything and everything.
Define. Or Be Defined: When we commit to success and a culture of success, that doesn't mean we can't have some failures, and that we can't make allowance for mistakes. There is always the unforeseen, and there are always human mistakes to contend with. What we mean here is that we don't tolerate sloppiness, empty excuse, and ineptitude. We tailor and maximize known practices, best practices, and emerging practices, in managing business and its supports. We pair these practices with the kinds of people who have the will to succeed: the strength of character (possession of ethics and sense of responsibility); the care for what's required (knowledge, preparedness, teamwork); and the desire to put forth the effort in doing what's to be done (a willingness to work).
Unless we shape our environment, circumstances will shape it for us. Unless we define our culture, it will be defined for us. Unless we make it our goal to retain positive, qualified people, we will find ourselves wafting down to lesser qualified, and less positive people. We must plan and carefully maintain the culture as we would anything else, in order to leverage it for best business outcomes.
Nothing manages itself and, like people, your culture deserves managing. We must craft the Business-Technology Weave with positivity. The success culture-positive is an enormous lever in moving things to successful conclusions – its influence and power cannot be overstated. Why would any organization not bias everything it could toward success?
Most importantly, when you set a bias for success, you have a primed system in place for taking on the emerging burdens, seen and unforeseen, in the Business-Technology Weave. Rather than blinking, stumbling, or choking in the face of some challenge, your organization's wheels go into motion. Whether faced with exciting new challenges, or discovery of bad, you have people, teams, and methods that are identified, in place, and possessed of knowledge and confidence in doing what needs to be done. Further, what's done is done prudently, efficiently, and with accuracy.
Getting there always starts with attitude… Where is your organization's attitude?
June 28th: On this day in 1942 the Dumont television network begins (WABD, NY).

Whilst 1998's "Blade" may have started the trend, and the box-office smash success of 2002's "Spider-Man" rocketed the superhero genre forward to become THE thing to do, it was 2000's "X-Men" which proved the first big success story in terms of quality in the superhero arena in a decade.
Not since the decreasingly interesting "Batman" live-action films had there really been a movie of the type that not only pleased fans & critics alike but also achieved such financial success (with the exception of "Spider-Man", its opening is still the biggest of any film in the genre). "X-Men" became the new benchmark with which to compare all comic book movies too, and even though there were some nagging problems it was still a solid ensemble piece which overall worked better than many of its predecessors and succesors.
Now as we come into 2003, the first signs that this genre is weakening began to show with the release earlier this year of the woeful "Daredevil" which aside from some nice production design and a hell of a good short performance by Colin Farrell, was nevertheless a complete waste. Likewise as much as there was anticipation for "X2", there was also concern as sequels in this genre aren't exactly known for being up to the quality of the original.
Well the verdict is now in and the good word is that this is a sequel which lives up to and in a few ways exceeds its predecessor. Without the necessity of character introduction exposition and with a much bigger budget on hand, the filmmakers have still taken great care and produced a shining example of blockbuster entertainment at its best – certainly its most rewarding and entertaining since "LOTR: The Two Towers" almost half a year ago.
Trying to make a comparison, the one that comes to mind is the first two "Superman" films – both are adored by the fans and whilst the first one had the bigger burden and is generally considered the better 'quality' film, the second has way more action, FX, humour and overall crowd pleasing aspects which make it better in the minds of some.
Same goes here, although "X2" benefits from Mike Dougherty & Dan Harris' solid script work which whilst not faultless is still more impressive than pretty much anything in "Superman II". As a result I think there'll be a lot of debate over which one people prefer better, honestly I like 'em both pretty much equally though each has certain elements that outdoes the other.
Lets get onto the characters and like any ensemble there's some which will stick with you, others which are for the most part ignored. On the upside Mystique gets a lot more screentime and plot points whilst Ian McKellan shines with delectable evil as Magneto – both these two seem to be having great fun with their parts and their scenes ranging from a jail bust to a bar scene are amongst the film's quirky highlights.
Both are begging for more screen time and I seriously hope an "X3" gets a go-ahead just so we can get to see both at work again. Shawn Ashmore (Iceman), Patrick Stewart (Prof. X) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) get their roles expanded and fill them out very well – Janssen especially gets her own subplot which fans of the comic will be very happy with how it is handled.
Newcomers to this film Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Brian Cox (Stryker) and Aaron Stanford (Pyro) do superb work with their time even if elements of their subplots feel hollow – Cumming's religious rantings and Stanford's "slip into the dark side" talk get too much and not enough airtime respectively. James Marsden (Cyclops) is barely used and is missing for most of the movie, Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) does solid and certainly darker work but this isn't as big a breakthrough for him as the first movie proved, Halle Berry (Storm) and Anna Paquin (Rogue) may as well not have appeared (a shame as Paquin was the first film's strongest character) and despite a cool fight Kelly Hu (Deathstrike) has nothing to do even if her very first scene is a great laugh.
Action though is great – kicking off with a spectacular opening attack in the hallways of the White House – the sheer energy, use of FX, music, etc. all combine to come up with the film's most distinctive fight scene which even the much touted but ultimately disappointing Wolverine/Deathstrike fight can't live up to.
The first half is quieter than the second naturally but even the first half still contains a school raid sequence and aforementioned 'jailbreak' scene which is just spectacular and surprisingly bloody. The effects are slightly better and certainly more numerous than in the first although some scenes definitely still need work. Production design, music, costumes, etc. are all at a very high standard and the humour is far more prevalent and in all but one case (a bad N'Sync joke) its worked extremely well into the story.
Downsides? Well there's a few. As mentioned before with so many characters, its only natural that of course not enough time is spent on some (most notably Deathstrike, Pyro & Cyclops) whilst other elements such as the not so great 'Jason 143' subplot aren't exactly the most creative of 'villain scheming'. Like it or not this is made for fans and so newcomers, especially those who missed the first movie, will get lost quickly as much like "LOTR: The Two Towers" your thrown into the action with no real introductions.
The whole film itself feels like a chapter somewhere in the early part of a major saga so those hoping everything will be tied up neatly will be somewhat disappointed – likewise those keen on seeing the Sentinels or the big 'war against humanity' so hinted at in the first film aren't going to find their questions or desires shown here – this expands the playing field and scope of the first film's story but never really pushes it into a new direction.
In the end the only faults are more what chances it didn't take rather than what it did. Your not going to find a deftly original or innovative film ala "The Matrix" or to some extent the first "X-Men", what you will find though is a movie crafted around the basis of solid storytelling and cool visuals – Singer, DeSanto, Schuler-Donner, Dougherty, Harris, etc. realise the difficulty of pulling off a successful attempt in this genre and so don't overstep their bounds.
They don't try to do something risky or edgy, instead opting for getting the best out of what they have – its a slightly old fashioned approach to filmmaking but as "X2" shows its definitely what works. If only all big-budget movies were of this calibre, it would make filmgoing such a more exciting experience. This has set the standard very high for this Summer and it will be interesting to see what, if any films, can match its calibre.

Our hostess for the month of August is Amber Hillman. For her first challenge, she has asked us to make a card having an object or animal that you would find at a County Fair (she and her kids are part of 4-H), and extra points for having green.
green purse (to pay for her treat!).
The water looks really nice, but not to Piggy, who is merely a sun-worshipper in her blue bikini.
This Piggy has never been to the County Fair, and would be appalled to see her distant relatives in their pens!
Feel free to join us, and be sure to add CCEE1432 to your card! See you next week!

Within the past few days I have really been in love with listening to Spanish music. It kind of reminds me of home and of my family, and I feel like it is a part of who I am that I don't appreciate enough. I listen to country all the time, which I absolutely LOVE, but I feel like the other half of me has been deprived so I've been jamming out to some Juanes and Maná and I'm in love! If you haven't heard of either one of them and you like Spanish music I suggest you look them up - it would definitely be worth your time!
These guys look kinda hardcore - but their music says otherwise. :)

ELLISVILLE, Miss. — Ray Perkins leans back in his chair, enthusiastically talking football in his Mississippi office at tiny Jones County Junior College.
A pair of palm trees stands in the heat outside – a dead giveaway that this is a long way from Giants Stadium and the bright lights of the NFL. But for the 70-year-old Perkins, it's football paradise.
"It fits like a glove," Perkins said. "This is what I'm supposed to be doing."
That may surprise some people.
Perkins led the New York Giants from 1979 to 1982, the Alabama Crimson Tide from 1983 to '86 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1987 to 1990. He's also known for developing assistants who went onto distinguished NFL careers – including Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennel.
But it's been 20 years since he was a head coach – and more than 10 years since he was a full-time coach of any kind.
And now he has resurfaced in this junior college in a town of about 4,500 people in the southeastern corner of Mississippi. The facilities are decent – but more on the level of a solid high school program than anything he was used to during his days in the NFL and Southeastern Conference.
Crennel understands the reasons his former boss is in Ellisville.
The head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs said he was initially surprised Perkins would get back into coaching, but that in a lot of ways the move made sense.
"Once that coaching gets in your blood it's hard to get it out," Crennel said. "Sounds like to me he's happy and he's excited, so I'm certainly excited for him."
Crennel said Perkins has never been afraid to take a chance or pull an unorthodox move, and that's a big reason for his success. His first meeting with Perkins came at a restaurant in Hattiesburg, Miss., in 1980, after the two were introduced by mutual friends in the coaching profession.
"We talked about football, but we also talked about life," Crennel said. "At the end of the meeting, he told me he didn't have a job, but was impressed and would keep me in mind for the future. A year later, he hired me with the Giants. He wasn't afraid to go with a hunch or a good feeling."
At this stage of his coaching career, Perkins said the perceived status of a job isn't important. And he immediately had a good feeling about the work environment at Jones County.
"It gives me an opportunity to have a little meaning, to hopefully teach something to these young people and also learn some things from them as well," Perkins said. "These are two or three of the most important years in their life. The passion I've had for football has never wavered, so I really jumped at this chance."
Perkins lives in Hattiesburg, which is about a 30-minute drive from Ellisville. He's been in a semi-retired state for the past decade, dividing his time between football fundraisers, a small commercial real estate business and a healthy dose of golf. He's also got two daughters – ages 14 and 8 – who taught him at least one important part of the new college football landscape: Text messaging.
"That's all those girls do – especially the 14-year-old," Perkins said with a grin as he held up his smartphone. "And that's all my players do. So it's been good practice."
Jones County President Jesse Smith said he met Perkins at a golf tournament a few years ago, and when the school's football job became open, he was pleasantly surprised to find the coach's resume on his desk. But there were still some reservations.
"Our main question was `Why in the world, having the career you've had, would you come to a humble place like this?" Smith said. "But coach Perkins was very convincing. Things began to line up and his personality really fits into this culture. He doesn't meet a stranger. He has a great ability to make people feel special, and he's not in here big-timing anybody. He's probably the most secure person I've met – he's not an ego guy in any way."
Smith said Perkins' arrival has been a boost for the athletic program, with alumni becoming more involved and ticket sales increasing. Perkins will make about $100,000 this season, and his contract can be renewed on a yearly basis. Though the job is certainly time consuming, it's not necessarily all-encompassing like his time in the NFL and SEC. He still occasionally drives his daughters to school before coming to work and can even squeeze a round or two of golf into his schedule.
"Definitely a little more life balance," Perkins said.
Perkins said his past has rarely come up during meetings with players or during practice. He figures if they're that interested, the information is only a few clicks away.
"They know how to use Google," Perkins said.
Jones County quarterback Ben Stevens admitted he didn't have much of an idea who Perkins was when he was hired. But his dad and uncle filled him in quickly.
"I've heard he used to be a screamer, but I think he's mellowed a little," Stevens said. "He'll get in your face and let you know when you're doing something wrong. But he's got a good balance and obviously a ton of insight into the game. We're fortunate to be able to learn from him. It's hard to believe he's 70 years old."
Perkins' age is often a topic of conversation considering 70-year-olds are usually collecting retirement, not starting a new career phase. He was coy about how long he plans to keep the job, though it's obvious he doesn't consider this a short-term gig.
"How about 20 years? Does that sound good?" Perkins said. "I don't have a certain time frame. I really don't. As long as we can be successful in guiding young people and win a few football games along the way, there's no reason to stop."

I am now using a 3mg nicotine strength in my vaporizer as opposed to the 6 mg I was using previously. I have lowered the amount of nicotine I am using to hopefully get off the addictive factor of the e-juice. It will be easier to quit completely if I am on a lower amount of nicotine than if I am using a higher form of nicotine, so this is a good thing. And I am proud of myself for moving down to a lower amount of nicotine because it's been about two years that I've been using the 6mg amount.
I don't know how long I will have to be on the 3mg amount of nicotine before I move down to the zero amount of nicotine but I think I could do it in a couple of months. The goal is to get down to zero and to get down to vaping nothing from there if I choose to. There are other benefits of smoking the lesser nicotine flavors one is that you get more of a better flavor from the e-juice. Meaning you get a better overall flavor from the juice because you don't have to taste any of the nicotine flavor. Which is a spicy kind of watery flavor, that hits your throat and kind of of makes you want to cough a little bit.
Overall I'm happy about this and I feel like i am fulfilling a goal so I am happy to be completing this goal because I have been wanting to do this for a long time but haven't done it for a while because I either thought I would go through juice a lot faster or I thought that I wouldn't be able to get enough nicotine if I cut down but I feel like I am ready and I think it's time so I am glad I have made this commitment because it is hard to make that choice to quit vaping or to cut down on it. It will be better on my health and overall well being in the long run.

Server validation and spry validation circumvented
Hi I have a kind of contact form (created in data bridge and form builder) on my site which does server and spry validation on the input fields e.g. email address. I tested the form and the validation works in IE and Firefox. Apparently the email needs a "@" and at least one "." in it! How come I receive an email with this validation circumvented?

Out on tour before finalizing their newest record, Atlanta, GA's Little Tybee came through to play at The Melody Inn this summer. Performing their mix of jazz-tinged folk pop at a club famous for local punk shows, Little Tybee were met by a crowd enraptured by their arrangements and musicianship. If their live shows and previous records are any indication, their newest record should prove to be another impressive offering.

Drake Take Care with Rihanna
Hip Hop artist Drake and pop singer Rihanna appear together in slow motion "Take Care", a music video featuring rippingly beautiful beasts and epic landscapes in a minimalist, monochromatic wilderness. The video matches Drake's signature sensual-yet-cool tenor, as the understated beat is punctuated by the tension of the perfectly-slow movements of the artists and animals themselves. "Take Care" marks an evolution of song and identity for Drake, as the track climaxes with an awe-inspiring array of naturalist combustion, and we see the young rapper continues to emerge as a stylistically mature artist.

No matter whatever is the cause, once the creatinine level goes beyond the limits, it becomes very hard to bring it during the range. There are however certain natural herbs and ayurvedic solutions which have shown excellent results in lowering down the creatinine stages without causing level in the blood vessels potassium stages or affecting the glucose stages. The natural herbs used together helps to increase the overall health and enhance kidney function.

Signs And Symptoms Of Kidney Failure
There is Ayurvedic chronic kidney disease Treatments, such as restricting salt in the food plan that can help prevent the development of kidney illness in people who have the early signs.
Protein in Pee - In out of control serious diabetic issues, the most significant sign is the leak of lots of necessary protein in the urine. Very considerable levels of necessary protein in their urine -a marking of kidney illness, which is evidence of reasonably affected kidney operate or difficult-to-control high stream pressure.
One particular patient, a man in his mid-50s, had all of the above. At 30 ml/min, his glomerular filtration rate, or GFR-a measure of kidney function-suggested he already had average to severe damage. He had a huge number in his urine, badly managed high stream pressure, and badly managed glucose stages. After using Ayurvedic solutions for about 1 month, things improved considerably. Similarly there are many other testimonials where patients were on regular twice every week dialysis and their frequency of dialysis reduced to once in week. We consider this also a big accomplishment. In many situations, the dialysis was prevented all together, after about 6 months to 1 year of treatment.
Foods to eat and avoid with kidney failure
Foods you should eat with kidney failing include starchy foods such as bread, cereals, grain, grain, popcorn, and saltless biscuits, vegetables that are low or method in blood vessels potassium like vegetable seedlings, eggplant, lettuce, don't forget your asparagus, oatmeal, and mixed vegetables, fruits with low to method blood vessels potassium content like vineyard, pears, peach masks, mangoes, and be aware that fact : blueberries, as well as dairy and little necessary protein including beef, chicken, chicken, and egg.
Kidney failing diet program recipes
If you're unsure of what to make with the meals you can eat, here is a simple formula you can try which includes crush and blueberry and you should try kidney failure treatment in Ayurveda to cure this problem.
What you will need:
• 1 acorn squashs
• 2 tsp of brownish sugar
• 2 tsp of marg. or butter
• 3 tablespoons of mashed pineapple
• 1 tablespoon of marg. or butter
Place the cut-up crush in a oiled support pan and put butter or marg. and brownish glucose on each half of the crush. Prepare the crush at 400F for about 30 moments – or until tender. Information the crush out and mix the crush, blueberry, butter and nutmeg. Beat until smooth. Scoop the mixture and cook again at 425F for another Quarter of an hour.
This formula is low in sodium, fat, and phosphorus, which is significant in a kidney failing diet program.

Molly and I ended 2014 spending the day duck hunting. It was a cold, clear day in the valley. Few birds flew, but the numerous Teal hanging out in the valley gave us a chance to shoot a limit of my favorite eating duck.
2014 was one of the best years of my life. Personally and professionally it was an amazing game changer. A new home on the banks of the Umpqua and my new career with Trout Unlimited were certainly a part of the great year we've had.
Spending time on the water and in the field with some of the best people I know also added to the great year that was 2014.
I can't wait to see what 2015 has in store for me, my family, friends and great clients!
Have a safe and happy new year!
