When Mandy and Ted were discussing their wedding plans with me in the initial stages of contacting me, they told me that they really wanted to do a first look at the cable cars on Powell Street.
We don't mind if there are strangers and tourists in the background, they said. So we went for it, and it really couldn't have gone more smoothly.
There were so many amazing moments, from Mandy's brother officiating and accidentally uttering his girlfriend's name instead causing the everyone to erupt in laughter, to the quieter moments when Mandy and Ted admired their wedding rings upstairs after the ceremony. You can see the joy of the day from these images.
Thank you for having me be a part of your day!
What was the most memorable part of the day?
(Mandy): It's so hard to pick the most memorable part of the day! The entire day leading up to the wedding, the ceremony, and reception were all so wonderful in their own way. The part of the day that stands out the most to me is the ceremony. It really hit me when we started to line up to walk down the aisle. I stood next to my dad and the processional music started playing. There was so much build-up for this one moment, and it was finally here! My eyes started tearing up, and I looked up at my dad and I could tell how much this moment meant to him. I am so grateful that my dad was able to walk me down the aisle. I remember looking up at him just before we started to walk, seeing my mom, and then looking at Ted as I walked towards him.The entire ceremony was so touching, and it was also filled with so much laughter. My younger brother officiated the wedding, and his message resonated so much with me and everyone else. My older brothers and Ted's sister and brother-in-law were chuppah holders. My younger brother Joe did an amazing job weaving in the meaning of the chuppah, how it represented home, the support of family, and the centrality of the 2 of us in our marriage. Ted and I wrote our own vows but didn't exchange them until the ceremony. It was so funny to see how much our vows complimented each other's. I'll never forget the look of pure love on Ted's face as I read my vows. And I can't even count the number of times I laughed and had tears of joy in my eye. Ted almost ran down the aisle he was so excited to hug after we were officially made husband and wife. The entire ceremony was so incredible, that's the part that is most memorable to me.
What unique detail was the most important for you to include and why?
The food was the most important detail of the wedding. Foreign Cinema is our favorite restaurant and is in our neighborhood. We chose the venue because we know how much they care about the food they serve: from the ingredients to the creativity in how it is served. We were so amazed and happy by the food that was served from the appetizers to the main course, the deserts and the late night snacks. And so many people have commented to us about how much they appreciated and enjoyed the food.
What came most as a surprise to you about the day?
I was most surprised by how much emotion I felt the entire weekend from seeing so many friends and family on both sides together and celebrating. I had family that I hadn't seen in years there, and I had even more family that hadn't been in the same place all together in over a decade. I don't think anyone could have prepared me - or described in words to me - how that would feel. I was so grateful for all of the love and support we felt on both sides. And I'm so happy to have all of the wonderful photos to look through. An hour felt like a second, so it's been so amazing to look through all of the photos and relive the most wonderful weekend.

Half Day Offshore Fishing With Keith Jim
Ted Gibson
Yesterday I fished with Keith and Big Jim. We started off the morning fishing a reef about 14 miles Offshore from Naples. Fishing started off very slow and after about an hour of not catching much other than a couple grunts; we decided to move in a little closer to shore. The next spot was some artificial structure in about 36' of water. As soon as we dropped our lines down at the second spot we started catching Mangrove Snapper to 16", Gag Grouper to 22" and Spanish Mackerel. Finished off the morning with a limit of Mangrove Snapper. Didn't land any huge fish, but did get broken off by some nice ones.

@ShanTrader, Right :)
Showing some signs of weakness, but there is a lot of support at that range. A lot of OI has been generated at 10400 PE over the last few days so, that will be crucial battle ground between the bulls and bears.

@ShanTrader, Let them battle, we enter at the confirmation :)

Monkey see, Monkey do, 2010
Christian Andersson / Maja Borg / Tamar Guimarães / Emma Kay / Runo Lagomarsino / Laibach / Ilias Papailiakis / Juan Pérez Agirregoikoa / Magnus Thierfelder / Ylva Westerlund
Curated by Anna Johansson, Emma Reichert, Elena Tzotzi / Tetriss Produktion
September 17th - January 23rd
Social norms and codes indicate the established and approved way of doing things, regulate behaviour and act as an informal system of social control. Norms evolve through time and vary between religions, cultures and societies, although certain fundamental values have been considered constant throughout the history of mankind. And yet, the paradox is that these values have continuously been overruled in the name of what is claimed to be common universal principles such as freedom, equality, justice and democracy.
The subject matter of the exhibition Monkey See Monkey Do revolves around the complex mechanisms that cause a discrepancy between how we think and how we act and engage with issues embedded in the realm of ethics and everyday dilemmas. A central question that is raised throughout the exhibition is whether and to which extent we have a choice, or if we are in a constant unreflecting status quo of "monkey see, monkey do" - an expression that refers to the act of imitation without an actual understanding or questioning of the reason behind the action.
Monkey See Monkey Do develops like a trail of thought between the art works that jointly, and in conversation with each other, unfold a narrative that explores the various ways in which we respond to the rules, beliefs and attitudes that affect and regulate our lives. Political ideas, scientific goals, religious convictions, legal systems, education and family are some examples of social institutions that can easily turn into tools of oppression when understood as a homogenous entity, instead of a manifold set of values.

breakup, drama, education, finance, life, motivation, philosophy, positive thinking, relationships
So if its not immediately obviously I'm not a huge fan of finance nor of the task set before me or the teaching style of the person who set it before me either. I don't like doing things I'm not good at, and I don't really like working with numbers, EXCEL, ratio analysis, or anything of that sort. I've also been ruminating about my apparently fairly casual relationship/flirtation that has ended at least in its current form, due at least in part to the Atlantic ocean and life coming between. Timing, as they say. Not to mention, from the phone conversation clarifying that the situation boiled down to "let's keep in touch," as I was disappointed, sad, relieved, and expected to hear, I think we might have some different ideas about love and romance, and different levels of sentiment/sensitivity and feelings towards each other. Who knows? We dodge bullets, right? Good is the enemy of great?
Though the clock is ticking on my project with less than 24 hours to go and a ton left to do, here I am writing a blog post. Hoping it will make me feel better, or at least illuminate what I feel.
I've been procrastinating and having trouble concentrating waiting for this conversation to happen, though this dude, who did have a stomach flu, work, and getting back adjusted to Paris time on his hands, did not find it terribly urgent.
In this time, I've done a lot of reflecting about what I want from my life, love, fun, marriage, and distance. Not to mention, settling, whatever that means. That's been the agonizingly fun part. At least I've gotten back in touch with the fact that I am, au fond, more of a poet than a project manager. Small wonder.
I've been mad at my finance project, which has prevented me from watching How I Met Your Mother, writing, and hanging out with my friends.
It feels like everything that I am afraid of about making a commitment- in general, I like my program and I feel like it's a good fit, most of the time, but goodness, I HATE THIS. Not to mention, rationally number crunching along seems like the absolute opposite of how I feel life should be lived: a grand, daring, risky, adventure, fraught with meaning at every turn.
It's almost as though this program and my travels, the least glamorous aspects of which I'm dealing with now- corporate finance and living in Philadelphia for six months- are the obstacles to love and connection, the relationship that I really crave. And for whatever reason, feel freaked out that I'm not in, yet, and haven't been for a long long time. Wondering if I'm still fit for it, if the right person exists, if anyone will ever want to be my boyfriend, and wah wah wah.
Just how little this stupid project means in the scheme of things and its utter lack of aesthetic, academic, and even practical value it has, is sadly and clearly apparent. As is, even more sadly yet dramatically, the fact that I need to do this project and pass this class in order to keep my scholarship and continue my program. Not funny.
I don't want to fail.
But I am human, so human, a procrastinator, lazy, emotional, sentimental, hurting, feeling sorry for myself, etc.
I will not fail in this though- it actually is too important. And it is not the archnemesis of meaning and value and all that is good in this world.
Nor is my program or my travels what is really keeping me from love.
I just haven't met the right person yet. The dude, in retrospect, is probably not the right person, at least not at the moment. We could have had a good relationship, but our non-synched approaches to things ending (or as he says, keeping in touch) might just show some fundamental incompatibility, along with other little things.
It really was kind of what I feared all along- he wasn't really open to me. Or maybe the chemistry wasn't there, or it was the wrong time.
But if it were the right person, I'd like to think that oceans and volcanoes and fiery dragons wouldn't stop him. I know they wouldn't stop me.
Maybe now is just not the right time in my life, and I knew that before I started.
But it's not corporate finance or my travels to blame for not finding love, and rebelling against them won't do anything. It will not be a meaningful gesture, and will not effect the changes that I want. My program isn't perfect, but I do want to continue with it. If need be, I can stay a swinging single lady until September when it's over. Not that long, and I'll have the lifetime credential/memories of this amazing educational opportunity.
So with that, I guess it's back to work. Because it is in line with a higher purpose after all, and not just the desire to succeed and not to fail.
No, it's not finance's fault…
It's nobody's fault (in Margaritaville) and maybe, I need to stop thinking it's mine that I just haven't met him yet.
Because he better beat being a single lady, accept my roaming from continent to continent, and want to have long walks and deep conversations, while still being a dude.
A toute a l'heure,

I have been trying to start each week this year with a little meditation—sort of like the secular equivalent of a devotional. I know I've mentioned that sometimes these days poetry is the only thing that makes sense to me, and I really appreciate its power to help me plug back into the rhythms of my everyday life, even when I'm pulled in a million directions. I've also found the cumulative effect to be a positive one—since I started in January, I've noticed a difference in how present I'm able to be in our homeschool. So I thought I'd share some of my little meditations here in case you find them centering, too.
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn.
Look to this Day.
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And Tomorrow is only a Vision;
But Today well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day.
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn.
With the best of intentions, we often miss this moment by thinking about the next one or this day by worrying about the one after it. I know that when I start to do this, when I start to get sidetracked by possible futures, that's when homeschooling starts to feel less like a project-in-progress and more like a scoreboard where I'm not getting enough points.
Today, I want to focus on the moments as they come. It's OK if the kids sleep late and don't come down in time to make pancakes for breakfast. I want them to do that because I feel guilty that I haven't had space for pancake-making for so many mornings in a row now, but that's not a problem that this morning is supposed to solve. It's OK if we have to work through that math SAT practice today, even though my daughter and I both stress ourselves out about it. This is what we need to do, and today is the day we have picked to do it. It is a part of our day, but it doesn't have to define our day. It's OK if I grade these papers after dinner instead of creating some kind of family fun time. I have work to do that matters. I have all the other hours of the day to enjoy being part of my family and for my family to enjoy being with me. I want to let today be just what it is, one moment at a time, accepting the bright parts and the hard parts as they come.
Making the most of today and being present in the moment doesn't mean making today perfect. I couldn't do that even if I wanted to. It just means accepting what the days brings, noticing it, and celebrating it on its own terms, not as a stepping stone to some future that may not happen. I will try not to ask "what next?" or "what if?" There are times to ask those questions, but today is not that time. Today is for appreciating the now. Today is for watching the sun come up and for filling the moments until it goes down again with acceptance of whatever happens.

Soma contains Carisoprodol as its active ingredient, which is a modified form of Meprobamate. Meprobamate is the main responsible metabolite of Carisoprodol for muscle relaxant activity. Soma exerts its pharmacological activity by acting on central nervous system and discloses sedative effect on pain sensitivity. It is not a direct acting muscle relaxant but it shows its effects by inhibiting the signal or nerve transmission from brain and spinal cord and alters the body and brain response towards pain sensation.
Pain can originate due to tearing of tissues, ligaments or muscles, and injury, stretching or prostaglandin synthesis. At the site of injury, neurotransmitters generate and transmit pain impulses. Anyone can suffer with pain due to sprain or extra usage of any body organ. There are some general and usual factors as pain triggers such as our daily flip-flops can be the cause of pain. Continuous use of mobile, wallet in back pocket, car driving with seat at wrong angle, actively playing video games for long period and cheese can be the reason of headache for some people. Poor posture while relaxing on couch, holding laptop bag, your hair do, you sleep habits, lifting heavy objects, eye strain, weather change and many uncountable reasons are there that can cause pain.

Sajid Nadiadwala's film Baaghi 2 which features Tiger Shroff , Disha Patani and Manoj Bajpayee in principal roles, one more name Randeep Hooda has added in the cast list.
Randeep, who was last seen in Salman Khan's Sultan, has earlier worked with Sajid Nadiadwala in his film Highway and 2014 directorial debut, Kick. Baaghi marks his third association with the renowned filmmaker.
Randeep Hooda confirms the news. He says, "Sajid Bhai has always been a guiding light and a friend who genuinely cares for me and my art. Our previous two collaborations (Highway and Kick) have been landmarks in my career both commercially and critically. He always comes up with real gems and this one is special."
Baaghi 2 started its schedule in Pune on September 18 and after wrapping up the shoot in the city, the whole team moved on to Mumbai and continued shooting.
Directed by choreographer-turned-filmmaker Ahmed Khan, this movie is scheduled to release on 27th April 2018.

It's the end of another week and the end of a long, cold month for those of you living up in the tundra (or anything north of Tampa, Florida). Is anyone attending ALA MidWinter this weekend? I hope everyone has a fantastic time in the Windy City enjoying lively discussions and innovative sessions. Onward and upward to a bit of a hodgepodge of hot topics this week.
Librarians engaged in library instruction in higher education have probably been keeping up with the various drafts of ACRL's proposed Framework for Information Literacy. The latest incarnation can be found here. The task force responsible for drafting and amending the framework will present this draft to ACRL's Board of Directors at MidWinter this weekend, so we should know soon if the framework has been accepted. This comes at a crucial time when many academic librarians are revamping their instructional methods to reflect a growing focus on information literacy in higher education. How has your library reacted or responded to the proposed framework? Have you had any discussions on how you may or may not modify your instructional approach? Do you have any bones to pick with the framework?
If you're a classical poetry nerd like me and you love to hear the charming warbles of poets reading their original works, check out The Listening Booth of the Woodberry Poetry Room at Harvard University. Harvard has made these streaming recording freely accessible, and interested listeners can hear recordings from the likes of Jorge Luis Borges, Jean Valentine, Anne Sexton, and W.H. Auden, to name a notable few.
Speaking of Auden, has anyone else seen his syllabus floating around the Interwebs? Check out his syllabus from the 1941-42 academic year during his professorship at University of Michigan. Othello and The Brothers Karamazov and Moby Dick, oh my! It's a fascinating syllabus, though grossly lacking in women authors, but I can just imagine the faces of his students when presented with this list.

Sony RX100 VA50€/day
ask for a quote!
Tweaking an already stellar pocket-sized camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VA Digital Camera from Sony improves the existing RX100 V by increasing the buffer size to 233 images, reducing display lag time in the electronic viewfinder, and adding several small features over other aspects of the camera. With the 20.1MP 1" Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor, the RX100 VA can output detailed images at sensitivities up to ISO 12800. The Fast Hybrid AF system has 315 focal-plane phase-detection points that cover 65% of the image area of the sensor and can achieve focus in as little as 0.05 seconds. That autofocus system is also capable of tracking subjects across the frame, even while shooting at high speeds. Sony's BIONZ X processor enables continuous shooting up to 24 fps with the aforementioned buffer size of 233 JPEG images and improved High Frame Rate recording times.

Today's blog is written by Jonathan Hickory. Read as he shares about how God pursues us as children and what it means to be a child of God.
My beloved son turns two years old in a few days. Lately, he loves to play a game with me where he will run tirelessly through the endless grass in our backyard, looking back to see if I am running after him. He has no direction, he has no destination, but he knows he is running from me. To his delight, I pursue him, his little legs moving as fast as they can while my pace remains even, steady, and unwavering.
"Chase me, Daddy! Chase me!" he giggles with glee as his blonde hair reflects the warm sunlight. As he looks backwards, sometimes he stumbles and sometimes he tumbles, only to have me leap on top of him and sweep him up into my arms, embracing him with unsurpassable joy and endless love. We laugh together and I find myself overjoyed to share in his laughter and wonder.
How often do we, as children of God, run from our Heavenly Father? How often do we pursue worldly things—money, family, success, prideful ambitions, lust, greed, addictions—instead of pursuing our Creator? Though we do not realize it, as we pursue these things as a priority over our faith, we wander and we wonder, as God continues to lovingly pursue our hearts.
How can we begin to understand this pursuit? Why would God waste His time with a heart that is not only pursuing worldly meaninglessness, but often times running from Him at the same time? Let's take a moment to explore God's desire for His children.
You are created in God's image — YOU are one of God's children! "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." -Genesis 1:27
Just as we love our children, God loves His children dearly and He desperately wants a close relationship with you. Jesus said, "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." -Matthew 18:12-14
Our vulnerable young children trust their parents and they seek their father for protection from the dark and the dangers of the world — the nightmare, the vicious snarling dog, and crossing the busy street safely. God wants you to trust fully in Him and seek Him for protection from evil. "The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life." -Psalm 121:6-7
Our children rely on us for provision of food, clothing, and shelter. God wants you to trust in Him for provision; He will faithfully provide for you! Jesus said, "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." -Matthew 10:29-31
Our children need and love their father, desiring relationship with him, just as you need Jesus in your heart in order to seek a genuine relationship with God. "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." -Jeremiah 29:13
Just as we want the very best for our children, yet know the value of discipline, God wants the very best for His children, and will lovingly discipline when needed. "And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? 'My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.' It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. -Hebrews 12:5-11
Have you ever thought about your relationship with God in this way? Your relationship with God is not a friendship, it is not a mutually beneficial business relationship, and it is not an arrangement where you get to call the shots — you are a child of our Sovereign God and you are created in His image. He is a good Father and He wants what is best for His children — that's you and me! But a good and loving Father will also lovingly pursue and discipline the wayward child.
God's pursuit of our hearts is something I am incredibly grateful for. If God had not pursued you, where would you be right now? Have you ever looked back on the hard times in your life, the times before you were walking with the Lord—and realized how He was chasing after you, yearning to sweep you into His arms and embrace you? Are you walking with God, and is He convicting your heart to draw you closer to Him? Or are you still running from Him? If you are not seeking God every day with every facet of your life, you better believe He is pursuing you. If you once were one of His lost sheep and the Good Shepherd found you, praise Him today and forevermore!
Almighty Father, You are our Good Father, and I am grateful for your pursuit of my heart. Lord, guide my path and help me to seek you first in all that I do, in all that I am. Thank you for loving me as your child, created in your holy image.

In the arabic world the oud has the same popularity as the guitar enjoys in the western world, so whether you wish to play maqam-based arabic music or just want to explore the musical identity of your ud , here you can find quality ouds at affordable prices.
For solo work you can choose from one of the ornate arabic/egyptian ouds or for a more mellow sound the smaller turkish oud is perfect.
If you are a musician on the move then the lightweight traveling oud is the ideal instruments.
If you wish to incorporate the oud sound in your band, and want to be heard, one of the electric ouds is your choice.
Get your kids familiar with the instrument, buy them the children oud, or if you are a confident player, the professional oud will reward your hours of practice.
How is the Oud different from the other stringed instruments?
The main distinguishing feature is the fact that is does not have any frets (metals bars under the strings to trap the strings so it vibrates at precise note positions. like the guitar). Being fretless means any sound outside the western musical scale is possible with the Oud.
How many Strings has the Oud
Ouds are normally made with 11 strings of which 10 are double strung (meaning there are 2 strings in each of the five courses) and one of them is on its own.,
Ouds can also have 10,12 or 13 strings. It is always advisable to change strings just after purchasing an oud, to make sure that the sound quality is not affected by old and oxidised strings, also for ease of tuning and long lasting playing.
The body of the Oud
The body has a bowl like body made of staves of solid wood, this shape is much stronger than a flat body, which means it can be made of thinner wood, in turns it means that this instrument can be much lighter giving it a strong but delicate feel at the same time.
Materials used to make the Oud
The staves of the body can be made from rosewood, ebony, sap wood, teak,walnut. The bowl and neck stave is often constructed with alternating dark and light hard woods. The soundboard is usually solid spruce, the finger board can be made of ebony. The peg-box is often made of mahogany and the best pegs are ebony.
Looking after your Oud
When storing the oud, slacken the tension off the strings to keep the stress off the structure of the oud. To avoid dust collecting in the peg-box and other surfaces of the oud try and store it in a soft or a hard case.
Like all wood instruments do not subject the Oud to large variations of temperature or humidity, it is also important the Oud does not reach extreme temperatures and extreme humidity conditions, by extreme we mean anything that is uncomfortable for the human body.

A Poem Analysis Essay
Paper type: Analysis
Words: 639, Paragraphs: 10, Pages: 3
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
Langston Hughes' "Let America Be America Again" reveals the dismay of the speaker about the social condition of America at the time and how the country is yet to attain its reputation as the home of the free. Written from the first-person point of view, the speaker vents out frustration at the racial inequalities that cut across American society while expressing hope that "America will be" the America that the "dreamers dreamed" at the same time.
Generally, the speaker aims his or her criticisms to no particular individual but the entire American society.
Taken in the context of the bitterness of the tone of the poem especially in the parts where the speaker narrates whose voices he or she is representing, the speaker directs his or her attention to the reader who may not at all be aware of the social conditions pervading America at the time. Interestingly, the tone of the poem is not bitter or frustrated throughout the entire length of the poem.
The poem begins with several stanzas that are imbued with emotionless force, proceeds with what appears to be the very meat of the poem—the disappointment towards the selfishness for power and property that takes away the very freedom that every American yearns for—and concludes with a fervent hope in the belief that America will rise from the din and reclaim its status as the "homeland of the free". In summary, the poem shows how the speaker sees America—a country that never was the country the speaker envisions it to be.
The speaker presents a rundown of the people in America who are at the center of the problem—the "poor white," the "Negro," the "red man" and the "immigrant clutching the hope I seek"—all of whom are experiencing almost the same fate of inequalities. Nearing the end of the poem, the speaker expresses his or her belief that America is "the land that has never been yet" and "yet must be", which signifies the speaker's hope that someday "America will be". With these things in mind, it is easy to understand that the poem's theme revolves around the concept of "hope".
By introducing the poem with a series of expectations and following them with a sequence of how such expectations have been unfulfilled, the speaker effectively sets the space for an ending that pins the very motive of the length of the poem. A close reading of the poem shows that the Langston Hughes achieved his purpose of letting hope become known to his readers, the hope that, despite America's social inequalities at the time, there will come a time that the country will satisfy its label as the "homeland of the free".
On a personal note, I think still applies today than it once did during the time of Hughes. I think the lines "the millions who have nothing for our pay" and "of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak" still closely resemble contemporary America. The current financial crisis sweeping across the country can only indicate how millions of Americans are still struggling to earn at least a decent pay, and how one person will take advantage of another just to survive in these harsh and trying times. Those things being said, there is strong reason to believe that the poem overarches from the past to the present.
Hughes may not have been aware of it, but his poem is as timely now as it used to be in the past. Although there are several other significant differences between the time of Hughes and contemporary America, "Let America Be America Again" is one of the poems that remind the average individual that America remains a country always on the quest for a more perfect union.

If the other side is willing to hear you, just ask them for what you want. This can come in the form of favors, products, people, and anything of value. That's why barter exists in the first place - value is rarely evenly distributed. Assets are being underutilized everywhere.
To take the concept a step further, don't just ask for it. Go get it.
It's alarming to me how many people still jump through hoops just to get to precious data. Why are you going out of your way to retrieve it? Have it come to you.
Some may argue that having so many things come to you is too much of a distraction, but I see it differently. If you know you are going to need something at some time, it's like hailing a cab.

Drake releases "Duppy Freestyle" where he is taking shots at Pusha T and Kanye West.
Last night, Pusha T's new album Daytona was released and on the last track "Infrared", Pusha took shots at Drake saying "It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin." Drake obviously heard the bar and immediately went to the studio and recorded a response.
On this new track "Duppy Freestyle", Drake is taking shots at Pusha T and Kanye West throughout the whole thing. Stream "Duppy Freestyle" below while we get ready for Drake's new album Scorpion which is dropping next month.

Yes, the 22-year-old university in Bethesda, Maryland, once served to offset a shortage in Defense Department medical personnel. Butas the Congressional Budget Office noted, university physicians cost the government $562,000 each, compared to $110,000 per physician in subsidies under the Health Professions Scholarship Program. Closing the facility and relying on the scholarship program and volunteers would save the department $300 million over five years. [11]
NPR wasn't the first entity to recommend the closing. Others have included the Grace Commission of more than a decade ago and various groups of lawmakers in packages of spending cuts that have circulated on Capitol Hill. The Office of Management and Budget, Congressional Budget Office, and others have documented its high costs.
The question was not whether the university was a worthwhile venture. Sure it was, in an earlier era of seemingly limitless resources. Rather, the question was, could the Defense Department afford to keep running a university that supplied only 10 percent of its physicians, at a much higher cost than other sources, and at a time when Americans have demanded cuts in defense appropriations.
As Senator Russell Feingold, D-Wisconsin, put it:
With the overall downsizing of our force structure, and the continued pressure put on the entire federal budget by our deficit, it doesn't make good economic sense to keep funding USUHS. It is only a matter of time before the school is closed down.[12]Not so fast! Few eliminations of programs or facilities are easy to push through Congress, and this was no exception. The tale of this facility points up the obstacles that all proposals of this type will face.
It was not long after President Clinton proposed the elimination that the university's supporters went to work. University Professor Matthew Pollack wrote an impassioned defense of the facility for the Washington Post. The area's federal representatives as well as candidates for federal offices vowed not to let it die. So, too, did lawmakers on important defense-related committees.
Actually, the university's elimination was included in NPR-related legislation that passed the House. In the Senate, however, supporters and opponents squared off.
In the end, the Senate adopted a compromise: Under an amendment, the General Accounting Office would study the facility and report back to Congress by next July. Whether even a recommendation by GAO to kill the university (if it comes to that) would tip the scales against USUHS or just take a place alongside its predecessors remains to be seen.

Windows is doing hardware detection at that point
This behavior can occur if Windows does not recognize or cannot configure the hardware in your computer.
On a Dell PC, the first thing to do is to make sure your BIOS is the most recent version.
You should disable any devices that are not required for setup, as something like the SD card reader could cause windows setup to fail.
Also depending on what came installed on the Dell
You may need to wipe the HDD first before proceeding with the Install. For this you can use either Boot & Nuke from DBam or Kill Disc.
Boot & Nuke does a better job but with SATA Drives it may be easier for you to use Kill Disc.
However as already mentioned if Windows can not identify the hardware which with Dell's isn't uncommon you need to Slipstream a Install Disc with the Dell Drivers. Most notable the SATA or Chip Set Drivers and to do this you need nLite available free here
Just don't forget to read the instructions available on the Web Site here
Excellent point....most Dell laptops have four partitions on the HDD
one diags, one recovery, one normal NTFS, and one media-player partition. That's enough to confuse most OS installers....

Advanced IAT XML
Advanced IAT XML Coding
The PI Infrastructure allows for alteration of the basic IAT code. The Race IAT entry provides an overview of the XML code used to run the IAT. This entry will overview some possible alterations to the basic script to allow for word only IATs, alternate picture IATS, and self-concept IATs.
Word Only IATs
Ev aluative Concepts
- To alter the Race IAT code to a Evaluative Concept IAT, Categories 2 and 3 need to be altered. First change the stimulus type to "word" Then enter the words that exemplify the Category into the Stimulus tag coding. For a Self-Esteem IAT (example file in Words Only folder below), the concept Category Names will be changed to "Self" and "Others" with corresponding exemplars.
- In the Blocks section of the code, change the key assignment in the instructions to match the concept categories. Remember the First number in the pairing definition corresponds to the top right of the screen and "I" key. Be careful these match up correctly for all 7 blocks (or 5 if that is the case).
- Finally, the Results should match the correct concept pairings. If the pairing order is "3,2" for the first few blocks, negative scores correspond to implicit preference for Category 3. If the first few blocks are paired "2,3", negative scores indicate preference for Category 2.
To see this in action, head to this link and run the study:
- For a self-Concept IAT the attribute categories are "Self" and "Other". These category exemplars are paired with the concept categories of your choice. Change Categories 0 and 0 to the self and other exemplars, and 2 and 3 to the concept categories.
- The Blocks sections and their corresponding instructions should match the pairings as defined in the Category Numbers and Block Pairing Definitions.
- The Results for Self-Concept IATs are worded slightly differently. For instance, an strong negative score on a Extroversion Self-concept IAT would yield the following result: "Your data suggest a strong implicit association between Other and Extroversion and Self and Introversion."
Custom Picture IATs
To add custom images you need to alter your XML file, experiment file, and add two additional files to your study folder. Example of these files can be downloaded with the custompics folder below.
XML file changes
- In the actual xml IAT file, changes the concept category stimuli to the names of the images you would like to use.
<Stimulus type="image">brian1.jpg</Stimulus>
- Put the pictures in a folder entitled "images" within your study folder.
- On your htm instructions page, change the image source to the path of each image in your personal folder.
<img src="/implicit/user/kschmidt/pictureiat/images/brian1.jpg" height=80>
Defaults File
- Since you are not using standard images, you need to add an iatdefaults.xml file to your study folder.
- Using the template below, you will be able to run the IAT as normal with the prescribed defaults.
- The only change needed in the defaults folder is the source for the images (line 28) in the image_url code.
<arg name="IMAGE_URL">/implicit/user/kschmidt/pictureiat/images/</arg>
IAT Task File
- Since you are not using standard images, you also need to add an iattask.jsp file to your study folder.
- This is the javascript template for your IAT
- Do not make any changes to this file.
Experiment File Changes
- A change to the Experiment File itself is also required
- Under the Definitions portion of the code, alter the way the IAT is called up to reference the defaults and task files.
<Task id="iatpic1" file="iatpic1.xml" properties="iatdefaults.xml">iattask.jsp</Task>
- You list the task within your experiment map no differently.
To see an example custom picture seven block IAT, use this link:
**For studies with multiple custimized IATs, see special case section below.
5 Block IATS
- To make a five block IAT, do not alter any of the categories code. Reference the fiveblock folder for download below to see the template.
In the Blocks Code...
- Delete Block 2, and renumber Block 3 as 2. (See lines 66-71 in iatesteem5.xml)
- Renumber Block 4 as 3.
- Delete Block 5 and renumber Block 6 as Block 4. (See lines 78-83 in iatesteem5.xml)
- In the Report Block code change the block numbers to report just 2 and 4.
An example of a Five Block IAT can be seen here:
Special Case: Studies with Multiple Customized Implicit Measures
Studies with multiple customized implicit measures require special attention because each implicit measure (say, an IAT) requires its own properties file. Use the attached properties file (iparams) and create as many versions as you have IATs with custimized images. Then edit each properties file to match the images folder in your study folder. You can use the same images folder for all your images, or use separate folders and reference separate images folders in the properties file (depending on your organization preferences). In your experiment file, your IATs should reference the jsIAT file. For example, if greenblue_gba and greenblue_gbb had one set of customized images and greenblue_soa and greenblue_sob had another set of customized images, the experiment file definitions would look like this:
<Task id="greenblue_gba" properties="iparams1.xml" file="greenblue_gba.xml">/common/all/js/iatjs/iattaskj.jsp</Task>
<Task id="greenblue_gbb" properties="iparams1.xml" file="greenblue_gbb.xml">/common/all/js/iatjs/iattaskj.jsp</Task>
<Task id="greenblue_soa" properties="iparams2.xml" file="greenblue_soa.xml">/common/all/js/iatjs/iattaskj.jsp</Task>
<Task id="greenblue_sob" properties="iparams2.xml" file="greenblue_sob.xml">/common/all/js/iatjs/iattaskj.jsp</Task>
Any IATs in your study that don't have customized images but draw from the common folder (e.g., race or sexual orientation) would use a separate properties file that references the common images folder. For this, use the attached [unedited] iparams properties file and reference it in the properties command in your experiment file for those IATs, for example:

MOT test faults will now be classified as Minor, Major & Dangerous.
Aside from the safety benefits of a pristine windscreen, having chips or cracks could also affect your car's ability to pass its MOT test.
Maintaining your car can involve two visits to a garage, one for a service & for an MOT. So what's the difference?
MOTs will decide if your car is road worthy or not, so it's important that it passes first time so you don't have to pay for repairs. This handy checklist will help you get your car ready for its MOT test, giving you a heads up about the main areas that'll be tested on the day.

In reply to ROHIT, TORONTO
We're sorry to hear your account has been assessed fees, Rohit. We'd be happy to look into this for you.
One of the great perks of the TD Student Checking account is that there is minimum daily balance to maintain and no maintenance fee is charged. This does not necessarily mean that other fees, such as ATM fees, overdraft fees, or statement fees, may not apply. All of these fee types are avoidable and we'd be happy to provide you with options for how to avoid them entirely.
First we'd like to take a look at your account to find out what fees you've been assessed so that we can best advise you. As TD Helps is considered an unsecure forum, we do not have access to specific account information to assist directly, but please give us a call 24/7 at 888-751-9000 or stop in to see us at a local TD Bank Store. To find one near you, please click here: https://go.td.com/1nq31dc. You also have the option of sending us your request by secure message through your online or mobile banking. To send a secure message, log into your TD Bank online profile by clicking here: https://go.td.com/1eaISlq. Once you've successfully logged in, look for the 'Message Center' on the left hand side and select 'Send a secure message'. From your Mobile Banking, log in and select 'Send a Secure Message' from the side Menu. We can generally respond within 24 hours or less.
We see that you're writing in to us from Toronto. Please know that you've reached us here at TD Bank in the United States. If this is in regard to an account you hold at TD Canada Trust, we'd like to get you in touch with a representative there that can assist in reviewing the fees you've received. We recommend that you call their 24/7 Customer Service line at 866-222-3456. We also want to provide you with a link to all of TD Canada Trust's contact info. You can find that by clicking here: https://go.td.com/2tp27BR. We're certain they'll be able to figure out why you've received these fees and how to avoid them in the future.
We hope to hear from you soon so that we may resolve this for you. Take care, Rohit.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It's that time of year again, when EarthCam fans await the announcement of the webcams that caught the world's attention in 2015. This year a super panel of judges had the difficult task of narrowing thousands of submitted cameras to 25 that represent the latest and greatest in webcam content. Who better to lead this panel than Mehcad Brooks, star of the CBS hit television show, Supergirl. From the Imam Reza Holy Shrine in Iran to the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, the 25 Most Interesting Webcams of 2015 are the must-see end of year highlight.
Spanning 11 countries, this 17th annual list of webcams take viewers on a no holds barred virtual tour of everything unique, beautiful, exciting and sometimes, just plain weird. Float down the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, speed through the streets of Prague on the Tram Cam and head inside a bustling meat shop in Alpine, Wyoming. Experience the views from the Reunion Tower high above Dallas to underwater swimming with tropical fish in San Francisco. Follow progress at the construction sites of The New NY Bridge and the Daytona International Speedway and watch as these massive projects go from concept to completion.
Looking for relaxation in ultra-high quality 4K streaming video? Kick back with peaceful views of the beach in Naples, FL and breathtaking aerial views of the Notre Dame campus. Ever wonder what the dogs are up to after they've been dropped off at daycare? Check in on some paw-sitively adorable dogs at the Barkyard in Minnesota. Prefer less-standard four-legged friends? Go on safari at Camp Kuzuma in Botswana where local elephant herds will be talking over the watering hole or get up close and personal with Saarinen goats in Florida. Need more excitement? Just about anything can happen at the Delaware DMV, but don't expect it to happen at lightning speed.
"Each year, when we think we've seen it all, we come across new webcam content that is wildly impressive and unique," said Brian Cury, CEO and Founder. "Thank you to our judges for taking on the tough task of choosing these outstanding winners from a notable group of entries."
Led by Mehcad Brooks, the judging panel chose the top 25 list based on quality, uniqueness and overall achievements in webcam technology. Other judges include Eileen Whelan, Meteorologist and Feature Reporter for ABC7 in Washington, DC; Terrie Frankel, Composer and 'Doublemint Twin'; Chase Rynd, Executive Director for the National Building Museum; and Sasha Moskalyova, a 4th grader representing the 'Kid's Vote' – a newly added perspective to this year's panel.
This year's winners join past Top 25 winners such as: National September 11 Memorial & Museum, Aurora Borealis Sky Cam, Times Square, Tower Bridge of London, Nagoya Aquarium, Seattle Space Needle, Roach-O-Vision Cockroach House, Red Bull Stratos Space Jump and Star Wars Action Figure Cam.

Primary Records by definition are documents that memorialise certain events at the actual time when they took place. The person to whom the event occurred is usually the one who accomplished these records although this is not always the case; obviously you cannot be a reliable witness to your own birth or death, so in these instances the document of the event is made by a reliable witness to the event.
Primary Records are often considered in a court of law as incontrovertible proof of an event's occurrence. Some examples of primary records are: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce records, death certificates, naturalisation records, wills and testimonies, deeds, Social Security records and military records. Photographs, hand-written letters and other personal effects may also be considered Primary Records.
Secondary Records by contrast are documents that are created some time after the event has passed. In many cases, these secondary records contain direct references from primary records in the form of quotes from people who were witness to the particular event or excerpts from historical records. Textbooks, historical accounts, newspaper articles and biographies are some documents that may be considered Secondary Records. What is important though is that these Secondary Records are sourced or at least refer to Primary Records.
In legal proceedings that require written proof or documentation, Primary Records are often given preference in terms of credibility over any other type of document. No matter how authoritative secondary sources are, it would still be a good idea to present as many Primary Records as possible. In fact some organisations, particularly those involved in genealogical documentation, often only accept Primary Records as reliable documents. In instances wherein they do accept secondary sources, such allowances are only made after it has been proven that Primary Records are impossible to obtain. Of course the secondary records in question have to be deemed reliable and at least reference Primary Records.
As important as these Primary Records are, many printed documents are often almost impossible to obtain and may be indecipherable when they are found.
Unfortunately, the difficulty in obtaining Primary Records will only be compounded by the eventual physical decline of many, if not all printed materials. The reason for this is that many documents were printed on acid paper; paper which, over the years, has begun to oxidise and turn brittle. These documents are in danger of crumbling to dust and literally disappearing forever.
This chemical process is irreversible and to date, countless printed documents have already been lost to the ravages of time. To be sure, efforts have been made by many sectors both governmental and private to preserve these documents of days past in various media. Libraries and newspaper publishers in particular have been at the forefront of this preservation effort, having archived important documents and back issues on microfilm for many years now. Currently, various forms of electronic media have been utilised in the preservation campaign.

ACT 2009 v11.0
Inside of ACT
When creating a new E-mail message. using the "select recipients" screen. Select from: "all contacts". There is a "Name" and "Company" list/Column. There needs to be a "Group" list/Column on this same page.
I dont want to send the E-mail to everyone in that group (i have seen the option for that)
What I need is to be able to see what "group" someone is in when selecting Recipients.
Is there a way that I am unaware of to add this to the list.
Unfortunately, there is not a way to do this from the message screen, What you could do is lookup the members of the Group first, by right-clicking under the Contacts tab of the Group and selecting Create Lookup. Then, in the message screen, choose Current Lookup from the Select From dropdown. This will display the contacts you just looked up and can pick and choose. You can also omit the contacts you do not want to mail to from the lookup before creating the new message...this will narrow the list.
By the way, the Company column you see in the message screen is not the Company they are linked to, but the name of the company in the contacts Company Name field (though they can be the same). If you would like to see Company and Group names added to the new message screen in the ACT! Email Client in an update or future release, please post and discuss your request on the Share Your Ideas board in this Community.

I was reading Hexodus' post on blogging.la re the Family Watchdog website. Basically, you enter your address, then you get a map pinpointing all the sexual offenders in your neighborhood, complete with crime details and a photograph. Hexodus said that after you type in your address, you get your results "after an excrutiating minute or two". I figured it would take a while, since I probably have more offenders than your average visitor. Seven minutes later, I received my scary results.
In January of last year I used Megan's Law Database to find out how many sex offenders lived in my zip code, and also found out how many Starbucks were within a 5-mile radius of my home (they were two different databases). Around this time last year, there were 168 registered sex offenders in my zip code, 16 of them living in my building. According to Family Watchdog, there are 2296 sex offenders in my neighborhood.
What was that about downtown Los Angeles being the next "it" neighborhood again?

What is 'client centred' therapy
Client centred therapy is a form of hypnotherapy that focuses on the needs of the client. In his book, The Art of Hypnotherapy, C Roy Hunter explains 'The four cornerstones of successful hypnotherapy'. These are important hypnotherapy objectives which provide a blueprint for increasing the probability of client success. These 'cornerstones' are:
1. Suggestion and imagery
If you, the client, have a strong emotional desire to change, then just using suggestion and imagery alone may be helpful. However, without a strong emotional desire to accept the suggestions, either the conscious or the subconscious may block or resist the suggestions and the improvement may only be temporary. For lasting success, the other three cornerstones should be employed.
2. Discover the cause
When you are in a state of hypnosis, you are deeply relaxed, your conscious analytical mind starts to recede and let go. The subconscious or inner mind can then be guided back in your imagination, to reveal the cause of the problem. It is then possible to look at childhood perceptions of the past with adult eyes and allow the emotion attached to this to be redirected or released in a positive way. This leads us to the third cornerstone.
3. Release
There are a number of different techniques that can be used to gain release from the cause of the problem without confronting anyone. The hypnotherapist can facilitate forgiveness or release in an appropriate way, freeing the client from the bondage of holding a grudge and resolving the problem.
4. Subconscious re-learning
The fourth hypnotherapy objective uses suggestion and imagery to facilitate adult understanding at a subconscious level. Clients verbalise their own re-learning and the hypnotherapist paraphrases back in the form of suggestions and imagery giving the client a more mature understanding and a new perception of the problem.
How does hypnotherapy work?
First of all, let's think about the four states of mind:
If you think of a staircase, at the top of the stairs is when you are wide awake, your conscious mind is in beta state, the mind is in high gear ready for making decisions, reasoning and logical thinking.
At the bottom of the staircase is when you are fast asleep, this is when you are in delta state.
The states in between are alpha state and theta state, these are the hypnotic states. In alpha state you are still conscious but very relaxed and as you drift down into theta state you drift deeper into relaxation and meditation.
When you are in a hypnotic state you are open to suggestion, learning, creativity and imagination; the door between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind begins to open and this enhances communication between these two parts of the mind.
Roy Hunter says that imagination is the language of the subconscious mind. The subconscious does not know the difference between what is fact and what is fantasy, it responds to what is imagined just as though it is real. In our imagination we are able to discover and eliminate subconscious blocks, leaving us free to let go of limiting beliefs, free to move forward and live more fulfilling lives - achieve whatever we wish to achieve, be anything we wish to be.
