Goal setting.
In my opinion, it's the single most important thing that any leader could ever teach their employees. I also think it's one of the most misunderstood processes in the world. I feel like people think that if they read a book on goal setting...they know how to set goals. If they set one goal, and they reach it, they think they've learned all they need to know about goal setting. Honestly, most people are confused about the process.
Because they don't understand that goal setting is absolutely life-changing. If you know how to do it, you can share it with others. If you share it with others, you will have impacted their life. If you teach it to your children, you will have given them one of the best gifts in the world. Goals really do matter. Setting them matters. Knowing how to achieve them matters. Giving your employees a gift that shows them you truly care about them and the next five years of their life matters.
It changes your life... because it changes your focus.
It changes your life...because your focus changes your perception.
It changes your life...because your perception becomes your reality.
It changes your life...because your reality becomes your future destiny.
If you understand how to set goals if you know that goal setting truly is that one element in your life that brings a certain impactful reality to your world. Then you know that it's something you need to pursue additional knowledge about.
How can you live a life of real intention and purpose instead of duty and obligation? It All Matters offers one hundred and twenty-five life-changing strategies to inspire you and help you to develop your skill sets, build more knowledge, improve your attitude, and develop work habits that truly pay off. When you read It All Matters, you join me as your personal coach.

I ripped my bluray and saved a copy to my external HD and when I played it back there is a narrative voice over the audio track in addition to normal audio. How can delete the voice over. Thank for any help you may provide.
No announcement yet.
Voice Over Audio on ripped saved to HD Blurays
new posts
What is that narrative voice telling you? What software do you use to rip? Without a little bit more information one can only stab around in the dark.Last edited by wgk.derdicke; 05-18-2018, 08:32 PM.
sounds like your getting the directors commentary, try removing the AC3/2 stream
what are you using to play back the movie ?? you can always turn off the directors commentary when playing back the movie.
Did you rip all of the audio tracks or just one? Typically, on BD, the main English audio is DTS, DTS-HD or Dolby-TrueHD; the descriptive audio, if any, as well as director's comments, if any, may be AC-3/5.1 or AC-3/2, though exceptions my occur. The Highest quality audio is usually the main English audio. You can always play the original BD and select through the various audio options when playing the main movie and make note of what is what. If in your rip, you only have one audio track, then you likely ripped the wrong one. I think you can also preview the audio tracks in the built-n player in DVDFab. Select each one in turn (turning all others off) and preview in the preview mode.
First of all, thank you for responding. I'm using DVDfab Bluray copy and I play it back Windows 10 movie player. I believe the directors commentary is the voice over. How can I remove the AC3/2 stream and turn off the directors commentary as well. Thanks again for your help.
there should be some settings for the windows 10 movie player that allow audio selection.
If you have the movie as a BDMV folder on your PC, you can easily re-process it with DVDFab to change the default audio stream, just load it as a Source using the "+" button and make sure only the topmost audio stream has the small white arrow on the extreme left, this is the one that will play by default. I would suggest a different player also. DVDFab Media Player, PowerDVD, even the free VLC Player is better than the one that comes with Windows. See the capture below for help setting the default audio stream. If you removed all the other streams, you will have to start over from the original disc. In the future, don't use General Chat forum for DVDFab questions.

Confused? Well, hold tight and let's backtrack a little. Janssen isn't talking about her personal life, but rather her new role as Judy Arnolds in the noir comedy Eulogy, due in theaters Oct. 15. In the film, Janssen – who costars alongside Hank Azaria, Zooey Deschanel and Ray Romano – portrays the stoic life partner of Lucy Collins (Preston), who returns home to attend her father's funeral and break the news about her lifestyle to the rest of the crazy Collins family. For some, Janssen's portrayal of Judy will no doubt unveil another facet of her artistic talents. Others, however, may wonder if the actress had any difficulty empathizing with a new character.
"Why would I?" she queries. "When you work on your character, you always work on the material you've been given and the character arc to try to develop something [meaningful]."
Evidenced by her complex role in Eulogy – and even by her crazy storyline as a demented life coach in this season's "Nip/Tuck" – Janssen has come a long way from her early days as a model. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Janssen's face was introduced to the world in her teens through magazine covers which, in turn, opened up a world of new experiences for the actress, evidenced by the fact that the actress now speaks fluent German, French, English and, of course, Dutch. Well aware that the spelling of her name belies its pronunciation, she enunciates it to help those unaccustomed to reading it in print.
"It's pronounced 'Fohm-kah' in Holland," she explains. "I was born in a province called Friesland [and] it's totally uncommon. It means 'little girl.'"
After working in front of flashbulbs on catwalks all over the globe, Janssen took a step back from the fast lane to attend Columbia University in New York City. While there she was bitten by the acting bug, which led to her film debut in 1992's Fathers and Sons. A few years later the former model resurfaced onscreen as the femme-fatale Bond Girl, Xenia Onatopp, opposite Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye, and shortly after, to the role of psychic super heroine Jean Grey in X-Men and its sequel, X2.
Janssen's roles have been getting juicier since her film debut and director Michael Clancy's Eulogy is no exception, in which Janssen shares a kiss with costar Kelly Preston. And although some of the Janssen-Preston lip locking didn't make the film's final cut, Janssen explains that getting scenes chopped out of a project is a part of show business.
"At this point, I've learned that once you're done [shooting] and you're done with your performance on set, you've got to let go and move on," she says like a grizzled veteran. "I haven't watched every movie I've done. To me, honestly, it's the experience on the set that counts. Whatever I've done with that character, at that time, was important. Everything after that is out of your control."
The Eulogy cast includes comedy vets Azaria, Romano and Rip Torn, with the film's storyline a departure from the action and thriller roles that Janssen has played in the past. The actress, however, still feels as if she had prior experience already under her belt before diving into her new role.
"Love and Sex – [a film] I did with Jon Favreau – was a little comedy. And I always thought GoldenEye, the Bond movie, was a comedy, personally," she says with a laugh. "I think throughout, I've tried to make things funny even if they weren't [intended to be].
"I don't have any one movie that can compare [to Eulogy]," reveals Janssen. "I'm just an actress trying to touch on comedy once in a blue moon."

This is why we have selected the right combination of tracks with the ability to make you more productive as the day goes by.

Flournoy >> A 37-year-old Flournoy man was arrested Thursday morning in the 15000 block of Paskenta Road on child pornography charges following the service of a warrant obtained as part of several months of investigation.
Officers responded to the Flournoy residence at 7:30 a.m. Thursday and Kenny Lee Pawling was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail on the felony charges of possession of more than 600 images of child or youth pornography, distribution of child pornography and the misdemeanor charge of sexual exploitation of a child, according to a Tehama County Sheriff's Office press release issued Thursday afternoon. Bail was set at $2 million.
The investigation began in November when sheriff's investigators got a tip about a subject receiving suspected pornography over the internet. Pawling was identified as the suspect.
Investigators learned Pawling had possessed hundreds of images of underage children, either in sexually suggestive poses or performing sexual acts, and upon receiving the images he was forwarding some of them to other recipients throughout the country.
A felony arrest warrant was issued Jan. 17 by the Tehama County Superior Court. Further investigation showed Pawling lived at the Paskenta Road residence and a search warrant was obtained to search for other items of child pornography.
During the search of the residence Thursday, investigators located additional suspected child pornography and evidence to support the listed allegations.
No children were found to be residing in the home, the press release said.
The sheriff's office was assisted by the Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County District Attorney's Office and the Tehama Interagency Drug Enforcement Task Force in serving the search warrant.

When a person is going through an addiction and treatment is beginning to be considered, it can be difficult to know which recovery route to go. There are a plethora of different options, and understanding what the benefits of each type can be confusing. At Mending Fences, our therapy center offers a variety of treatments, one of those being equine therapy in Ocala. Equine therapy is essentially a healing path that involves horses. These intelligent animals can truly provide a special and magical effect on patients, allowing for genuine connection and a better understanding of emotional behavior. Here are 5 benefits to equine therapy and why we suggest it.
Horses are amazing animals with a remarkable ability to sense feelings, and words we don't feel. When horses sense something, they react. This helps patients to be aware of their emotions and mindsets when interacting with these animals. An example would be that if a person is nervous, it might make the horse nervous as well. Whereas a person that approaches a horse fully confident, the horse responds similarly. This benefits patients because it allows them to act with their heart and less with their minds. When trying to analyze our behaviors, our bodies naturally can have a defensive barrier, which can place blame or make excuses.
A main issue we see in patients with addictive issues is that their relationships prior to therapy had not been the best. There are sometimes underlying emotions dealing with mistreatment, manipulation, lying, and even abuse. When working with horses, these memories are tested, as they are handling something bigger than they are. The upside of horses is that they are very honest with their emotions, and this can allow a flow of trust and connection between the patients and animals.
Drugs and alcohol are used to truly numb out emotions, which means that patients suffering from addiction may be severely unaware of their emotions and their motives. Horses are quiet creatures that speak mainly with their movements. This allows patients to understand those more emotional responses, helping them to then be more aware of their own.
At Mending Fences, we believe that there is so much to learn about ourselves through the non-verbal communication. After all, many of our motives as humans are incredibly internal and psychological, even personality based. Working with horses allows for the discovery of our true selves, shedding light onto the areas we've so long neglected. If you're looking into recovery options and equine therapy sounds like the perfect match for you, we encourage you to call us. You might be one dial away from a brand new life.

Bas Jan's debut album Yes I Jan is now OFFICIALLY released into the world. Having been made available digitally over the past few weeks, the gorgeous retina-burning orange sleeve LP is now a real life physical product that you can hold in your hands, and even eat your dinner off. The reviewers' verdicts are in on the London experimental post-punk trio's new record and it is this *aiiiiiiirhoooooooorn* ...
"Messy majesty," 9/10 say Uncut.
"Beautifully fractured art-pop," ★★★★ agree Mojo.
"Clever, warm and unpredictable… much to savour," Q concurs.
"Day-to-day stories full of uncanny pop punk magic," enthuses The Quietus.
Marc Riley had the band on in session for his BBC 6 Music show the other week – you can listen back here – and had such nice things to say of the Jans as "we love them", "just wonderful", "ace" and "delete all other music" (we made the last one up). If you're not in the habit of letting the media make your mind up for you, just take it straight from us – buy the album. Or give it a stream for free on Spotify or Apple Music (other streaming services are available). Then buy it.
The special pre-order bundle of Yes I Jan comes with an exclusive tape, featuring remixes from contributors including Chooc Ly Tan, Danelaw, Hannah Peel, Lone Taxidermist, Rachel Horwood and Rozi Plain. THE CASSETTE BUNDLE IS IN VERY LIMITED SUPPLY ... and will only be available until Monday 26th February, while stocks last. We recommend purchasing quick!
You can also purchase the stand-alone LP from the following fantastic stores ...
Rough Trade London
Rough Trade Bristol
Hard Lines Coffee & Vinyl, Cardiff
Drift Records, Totnes
Norman Records, Leeds
Monorail, Glasgow
LoveMusic, Glasgow
Music's Not Dead, Bexhill-On-Sea
CODA, Edinburgh
VoxBox, Edinburgh
Assai, Edinburgh
Assai, Broughty Ferry
Unknown Pleasures, Edinburgh
You can also catch the band headlining Lost Map's Strange Invitation at The Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh, on Saturday 24th February (tomorrow!). I believe tickets have sold out ... but you might be able to snaffle a return ticket or two, from the Facebook event page.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicate Hummingbird Eyeshadow Review
When I was browsing the isle with Rouge Bunny Rouge, I saw a lot of very interesting shades. I decided on Delicate Hummingbird because it is something that I don't already have and wouldn't normally buy.
Delicate Hummingbird is a plum-purple shimmer eyeshadow with a hint of taupe. It is medium-pigmented. But you can use a wet brush to create a brighter look. The application and quality are very good.
I thought this color would be for going out mostly. But surprisingly it is very easy to wear. I also have a very pale complexion and it is still flattering.
The texture is velvety and soft.
Description of the eyeshadow from Rouge Bunny Rouge Website:
"Discover a new powder eye shadow with an astonishing lightweight, creamy touch and unprecedented adherence. This formula creates pure dynamic iridescence while it maintains second skin effect. It has extended 8-hour wear that will stay perfect and look freshly applied all day. Orange-derived Flavonoid improves blood microcirculation, enhances luminosity and serves as free radicals scavenger."

Hollywood movies and European-styled pictorial matters were showing a false public figure of Canada. Many Canadians mat up a growing read to portray their land much honestly.1 The group of seven-spotsome was a group of ornament painters who took up the challenge and change the misleading and stereotyped ways that Canada and its people were portrayed in.

Before the Group of Seven emerged from Toronto, Canadian beautify characterisation often imitated European styles and themes. The Group were regarded as the creators of a topic style of mental picture that did not use the academic formulas of painting found in Europe. They chose to revive Canadian art and give rise a new tradition that did not rely on European trends. The efforts of the Group of Seven changed the perception of Canadian art as art that should possess a European sensibility to that which should be unique to Canada.

I tried for a long time to learn how to 3D model! It is very difficult! I have since spent a lot of time researching the best way to create or download 3D content. I have found the following websites, and platforms for you and your students to create 3D models!
3D Modeling for Beginners
Tinkercad is free platform from Autodesk that makes creating 3D models easy! You and your students can click on the "Learn" button at the top of the page to access great interactive tutorials. These tutorials are a step by step walk you through on how to create various designs. Once finished, Tinkercad allows you to download your creation for Minecraft, order a 3D Print, or upload it to Thingiverse. You also have the option to download your creation to 3D print.
Check out This Getting Started Project (PDF) from 3dvinci.net. It walks you through the steps to make a boat, complete with fun cutout shapes for windows. Print it out, or read it on-screen, and start building!

SketchUp users are architects, designers, builders, makers and engineers. They are the people who shape the physical world. They are important, and they deserve great tools because great tools produce great work.
Great tools are ones you look forward to using. They do one thing (or maybe two) really, really well. They let you do what you want without having to figure out how. They help with hard or boring tasks so that you can focus on being creative, or productive, or both. And they are, in their own way, beautiful.
At SketchUp, we do our best to make great tools for drawing. For our users, drawing is thinking. They draw to explore ideas, to figure things out, to show other people what they mean. They draw because they love it, and because nothing great was ever built that didn't start with a great drawing.
Websites to Download Free 3D Models
Sketchfab is the leading platform to publish and find the best 3D content, anywhere online. Millions of people make 3D models or scan the real world in 3D, why would they share this in 2D? What YouTube did for video makers, or SoundCloud for musicians, we want to do for creators of 3D content.
You can upload files in almost any 3D format (we support 28), directly on sketchfab.com or using one of our exporters, in order to upload from your favorite 3D creation tool. Once your models are on Sketchfab, you can embed them on any web page, and share them on other platforms like Tumblr, WordPress, Bēhance, Facebook, Kickstarter, LinkedIn, deviantART…
MakerBot's Thingiverse is a thriving design community for discovering, making, and sharing 3D printable things. As the world's largest 3D printing community, we believe that everyone should be encouraged to create and remix 3D things, no matter their technical expertise or previous experience. In the spirit of maintaining an open platform, all designs are encouraged to be licensed under a Creative Commons license, meaning that anyone can use or alter any design.
Pinshape's mission is to make 3D printing simple and fun. We strive to empower our users by offering an easy-to-use platform that lets them explore, share and download high-quality 3D printable designs. We aim to build an engaging community of innovative makers and designers of all experience levels, who are helping to shape the future of 3D printing.
Blender is a free and open source 3D animation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Advanced users employ Blender's API for Python scripting to customize the application and write specialized tools; often these are included in Blender's future releases. Blender is well suited to individuals and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process. Examples from many Blender-based projects are available in the showcase.
Blender is cross-platform and runs equally well on Linux, Windows and Macintosh computers. Its interface uses OpenGL to provide a consistent experience. To confirm specific compatibility, the list of supported platforms indicates those regularly tested by the development team.
As a community-driven project under the GNU General Public License (GPL), the public is empowered to make small and large changes to the code base, which leads to new features, responsive bug fixes, and better usability. Blender has no price tag, but you can invest, participate, and help to advance a powerful collaborative tool: Blender is your own 3D software.
Unity is a flexible and powerful development platform for creating multiplatform 3D and 2D games and interactive experiences. It's a complete ecosystem for anyone who aims to build a business on creating high-end content and connecting to their most loyal and enthusiastic players and customers.

Woodworking and construction
Led by VCAC Staff Artists and local master builder Mel Seeger, the Sustainable Building Workshop will provide a focused approach to collaborative design and building. Staying true to the Visitor Center Artist Camp's mission, and with the functionality of the VCAC community at heart, together we will be building a customized cabin known in Finland as a Grillikota, using locally-sourced lumber milled by Mel Seeger himself, down the road at Seeger's Matchwood Sawmill. This octagonal structure designed by Mel will sleep 8 people at camp!
During the Symposium, participants can expect to:
- Practice the use of materials at hand
- Source sustainable and local materials
- Properly and safely use power tools including drills, impact drivers, chop saw, and circular saw
- Work collaboratively and co-creatively with others
- Learn from local master builder Mel Seeger
- Gain knowledge and insight into alternative architecture and sustainable living
Previous building and power tool experience is helpful but not required.
Participants are responsible for their own basic safety gear (safety glasses, dust masks, work gloves, work boots, etc.)
Participants will have the opportunity to tour Mel Seeger's Matchwood Sawmill and farm down the road from camp, see the barns and yurts he has built, and watch a demo of Mel milling logs on the sawmill he made from a Mac truck!
This is an opportunity to learn from a DIY master. Mel has worked in the logging industry and run sawmills his entire life. He builds barns, saunas, yurts and boats of his own designs; the VCAC studio barn is one of his. He also makes various types of heaters, furnaces, ovens, and stoves and has been experimenting with creating insulating bricks from local clay and sawdust from his mill. He's a master of hand craft but is also tech savvy, using CAD and CNC to create utilitarian designs and visual art. Additionally, he farms and plays traditional Norwegian music with his wife.

By: admin, Category: Film Schools
Admit it. Your dream of cutting a figure in the filmmaking industry gets kindled or reignited every time some filmmaking magnate gets the newspaper covered with headlines about his new work.
Feeling the same way, more than a few people look to online film schools as a royal road to all the fame and fortune in Hollywood.
In recent years, a degree from film school has become a golden rule to quickly get into film industry. And online schools open doors for aspiring people in their move to filmmaking with its unique flexibility and convenience and advanced training.
However, just when you are dreaming about all the glamour of being a great filmmaker, a cluster of age-old questions pop out: Should I go to an online film school? What can I get from it? Will it give me a successful filmmaking career? What if it is a waste of money and I end up with taking a low-paying job?
So, why even bother with online film schools?
That's because of their…
Professional Training
Where can you get the essential instruction on screenwriting, cinematography or editing? By watching others? Perhaps not. By Blindly imitating others? Of course not. The answer is, by attending a professional film school. Similar to traditional film schools, online film schools prepare you with the instructions and trainings that can not possibly be found anywhere else. However simple or complex, this kind of knowledge lay the foundation of your future development and progress in the film industry.
Essential guiding
Apart from the basic knowledge, online film schools also provide you with admirable teaching resources. If you attend a prestigious school with professional teachers, chances are you will grasp necessary skills faster.
Another benefit of a good teacher lies in professional guidance. He will guide you, inspire you and push you. Every minute you spend with him will pay.
Social connections
It is less likely that you can distinguish yourself all on your own. But if you can get help from others, you are one step closer.
Start with your classmates. Normally, you have classes together without actually seeing each other, since it's at online film schools. But, that does not mean you will never have the chance to meet them. New technology allows you video chat; you can make phone calls or hang out sometimes. Anyway, make friends with them. Years after graduation, some of these friends may rise as Robert Pattinson or Jonny Depp. Who knows? If that is the case, your future in Hollywood is promising. They have made a name, they can introduce you to directors or producers. That is what Nicolas Cage did for Jonny Depp. That is the so-called connection.
Even if that is not the case, things can still look good. Having friends from the same film school means you can easily find partners. Good partners are a valuable asset. That does not need much emphasize.

Thursday slipped away. It's 12:08am on Friday. Still playing the paperwork nightmare game. Our homestudy aparantly was notarized 3 days before it was approved. Try that one on for size. Won't fly, must call in about 9 hours and complain until another is overnighted to me. Monday is a holiday and these papers need to be apostilled and mailed overseas on Tuesday in order to be submitted to the SDA this year. They stop accepting dossiers on December 1st and it takes a few days to ship and then 2 weeks to translate. I can't believe Tuesday is already the 12th!
Stress stinks. And I have no voice. And I need sleep :)
Sorry so grumpy, I'm going to bed to hopefully be rejuvinated on 5.5 hours of sleep.
Pray for timely filing!

Many Christians today think the Law of Moses was superceeded by Christ. But Christ said He came, not to destroy, but to fulfil the Law. What did He mean, and how does His teaching find expression in modern life?
by Jim Jordal
"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and so teaches others, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For truly I say to you, that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven."
Matt. 5:17-20 (NASB)
"But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the Lord. "I will put My Law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying 'know the Lord,' for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the Lord, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."
Jer. 31:33-34 (NASB)
It's a common fable among some Christians that Old Testament Law brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses is no longer in effect now that Christ has come. And in one way that's true. Christ did end something, but it was the sacrificial and ceremonial ordinances, not God's Law for the nation. His death and resurrection ended the need to shed animal blood for sin, since, as Hthe apostle Paul so clearly details, Christ Himself became the sacrifice for sin once and for all (see Heb. 9).
So we no longer need ritual blood sacrifices and all the associated ceremonial ordinances. We now have a better way in Christ. But to abolish along with sacrificial and ceremonial ordinances all the remainder of God's economic, familial, social and political law for national welfare is a misreading of God's intent.
As Jesus made clear on several occasions, He came not to destroy, but to fulfill the Law. What He meant was that the requirements of the Law for justice, mercy, truth, righteousness and love would be fulfilled by the New Covenant promised by Jeremiah and paid for by His death. When God's Law becomes written in our very hearts, then, and only then, will Mosaic Law for persons and nations no longer be needed. But it will still be in effect, only in a different way, since it will now be written in our hearts.
So you might say, "Well, that surely hasn't happened yet!" No, it hasn't, and that's why we still need Old Testament Law. All you need do to understand that the Law of Love has not yet replaced Mosaic Law is to open your newspaper or watch almost any TV program. With rampant sin in the land, we still need the Law of God, and we disobey this Law at our peril, both personal and national.
One reason some people have so much difficulty with the Law is that they persist in claiming the Bible applies only to individuals. One comment I often hear is that since individuals make up the nation, individual behavior is all that matters. But we need only return to our introductory government and political science courses to remember that nations have unique identities apart from their individual members.
God's Law handed down to Moses had the ability to create a prosperous, peaceful society with little or no economic or political oppression. Yes, there would be differences in human ability, diligence, and family prominence; and these differences would lead to income, wealth, and status differentials. But exploitation, manipulation, and chicanery would be lacking, so the basic oppressions arising from human greed and arrogance would be minimized. What little dishonesty and subterfuge did arise would be severely proscribed by law and custom, resulting in a society embracing righteousness, justice, mercy, truth, and love.
So why didn't this happen? Unbelief and apostasy! Only for short periods was Israel ever able to avoid the falling away so prevalent in their history. We live in a time when Satan and his minions have power in the earth. The only thing standing between the present world and a new Dark Age is the word and power of God expressed through His Law, His Son, and His people.
As Jesus said, true righteousness finds expression, not in ritual and tradition, but in obedience to Christ's commands for acts of genuine justice, truth, and mercy. Today this true righteousness is exhibited by those who follow Christ in modeling the Law through its fulfillment in love. Someday soon it will become a part of our deepest natures as the New Covenant becomes operative across the earth. Meanwhile, do not disparage the Law of God;without it we descend into anarchy and dissolution.

'Arrested Development' Could Return, But Could It Be Redeemed?
By Kate Ward
Try using the arrow keys
The Bluths might be back, if executive producer Brian Grazer is to be believed. Grazer, speaking with Bloomberg Thursday, said he was "in conversations" with Netflix to revive the beloved series for yet another season. But do fans, who were disappointed with Season 4's new direction, even want a Season 5? On the one hand, we've already experienced more hurt than Tobias in a wheelchair with Season 4. On the other, another go-around would give Arrested a chance to redeem itself, much like these 8 series did. Read on to see shows that made up for bad seasons, and wonder if Arrested could secure the same fate. Image: Netflix

Accessibility + Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are one of the most common forms of invisible disabilities affecting people in the United States and globally. The Mirasol Eating Recovery Center estimates that 10-15% of American deal with some type of eating disorder in their lifetime. To my knowledge, outside of the medical field there is very little written about how eating disorders fit within the rubric of "disability." This oversight may result from the assumption that eating disorders are a personal choice, an extreme diet, or just a phase. Eating disorders are serious, complex, cognitive impairments resulting from a range of social, psychological, and physiological factors that affect all genders, races, body types, and cultures—not just the white teenager girls depicted in movies and on TV. These stereotypical images further reduce the visibility of eating disorders, how they are lived, and who lives them.
Disability activists and allies vocalize that positive and diverse representations of disability are crucial to creating a more accessible environments, both structural and social. Building a more accessible world begins by targeting the material environments and social attitudes that ostracize and limit disabled people. To ask a question about accessibility shifts the focus away from the individual bodymind and toward the larger structures that create the distinction between a "disabled person" and an "able-bodied/ able-minded person." Part of being an effective and positive disability rights ally is recognizing these structures and working through, changing them, and even changing their own internalized attitudes toward disabled people.
Eating Disorders
are serious, complex, cognitive impairments resulting from a range of social, psychological, and physiological factors that affect all genders, races, body types, and cultures—not just the white teenager girls depicted in movies and on TV.
When it comes to eating disorders, the concept of "accessibility" is radically challenged. If we take access to mean ensuring comfort for the individual, then, speaking from experience, access could mean a variety of things to a person with an eating disorder. For instance, comfort comes from being allowed to skip meals without judgmental looks. It may also arise from friends and family keeping quiet about the impairment as a gesture of respect rather than trying to intervene. What might be most comforting is not being forced to mask food anxiety as "picking eating." Creating an accessible environment for people with eating disorders can run the slippery slope of aiding in the eating disorder "winning" by impeding their bodymind well-being. The entire question as to what accessibility even represents is opened, because what is accessible for a person with an eating disorder proves impossible as it is unclear if we attend to personal comfort or physical well-being, complying in destruction, or forcing cure. Often, in regard to eating disorders, the mind attacks the body, but this violence is obscured to the bodymind's beholder as an act of care, empowerment, and autonomy. In other words, what might most comforting and accessible is actually what is killing us. Like any addiction, we do not want to stop.
As a person with an eating disorder, now in recovery, I have experienced how quickly people close to you can ignore your disorder or try and "out" you, as if making the disorder known will magically make it disappear from the mind and body of the person suffering. Often, I would get defensive and shut out anyone who acknowledged my impairment. I was threatened because the alien voice that had invaded me, anorexia, told me to do so.
While I cannot speak for all forms of eating disorders, I can voice a few things that have helped me and people I know with eating disorders gain greater literal and metaphorical movement in the world. Even the smallest of gestures can make more accessible environments for people with eating disordeRS.
Ways To Promote Access
If they are in recovery and have disclosed this information to you, then ask them how they are doing and if you can help. This exchange could be as simple as, "Hey, I know it's been a long week at work for you, it would be stressful for anyone. Do you mind if I ask how your recovery program is going? I am here if you need to talk or need anything."
If you know they are going to an event with food or a planned meal, then offer to go with them for support or contact the event organizer in advance to find out the food options. Ask your friend when and what they would be comfortable with eating. They may prefer to eat beforehand or wait until the event is over.
You never know what might be triggering for someone, whether images, certain foods, the scale, or something else. Ask them what their triggers are so that you too can help them avoid them. You do not need to know or have a right to know all the details.
Do not let them hurt themselves further. If you know someone whom you may think is going through an eating disorder then reach out to them, but not interrogate or shame them. Express your concern for them, be gentle, and offer them help resources in the area. Do not try and force feed them, do not try and scare them by mention all the dire health effects (trust me, most of us know), and do not try to threaten them with the dissolution of your relationship.
Engage with them like you did before you knew, as a friend. Laugh with them, ask them for advice, offer to hang out with them, invite them to events, and make known they are not at all obligated to attend. There is nothing worse than being babied.
Never, never forget that this is not their "fault," and proceed with care. They are strong and deserve love, and so are you. So, treat them and yourself this way

Accessibility: Accessibility refers to the experience of a person utilizing services, programs, technologies, physical spaces, and communicating without confronting barriers that do not accommodate their bodymind. Examples of accommodations to promote access include ramps, closed captioning, alternative food choices, and a socially inclusive environment without explicit stigma.
Bodymind: Bodymind is a term used to suggest how physical and mental experiences inform one another. In sum, bodymind is a challenge to the classic mind over body split, known as Cartesian dualism in Western philosophy. The concept of the bodymind is built off the notions that "mental and physical processes not only affect each other but also give rise to each other—that is, because they tend to act as one, even though they are conventionally understood as two" (Price 269). "Bodymind" is used throughout this essay because I argue for a more complex understanding of disability and access that accounts for the ways our bodies and minds can be at odds with one another and the ways that mental health affects physical health and vice versa.
Eating Disorder: Eating disorders are impairments that affect one's perception of food, diet, their body image, and nutrition. There are a wide variety of eating disorders, including over-eating and bulimia. There is no single cause of eating disorders, as they arise from a mix of social, cultural, nutritional, and hereditary factors that eventually affect someone's eating habits.
Impairment: An impairment is a physical and/or mental difference from a historically and culturally contingent understanding of a normal bodymind. When one's impairments result in their being socially affected, then they are "disabled." One might say disability is a political-social experience and impairment is a physical-mental state. See the "Medical Model of Disability" and "Social Model of Disability" for further clarification.
Medical Model of Disability: The medical model of disability (MMD) understands disability as resulting from an individual person's physical or cognitive limitations, and thus is largely unaffected by societal circumstances. The MMD disadvantages the experience and circumstances of all disabilities within this model, by implicitly framing the individual as a "problem to be solved" through medical intervention.
Social Model of Disability: The social model of disability (SMD) views disability as the product of discursive, cultural, and societal factors, which benefits the individual by de-centering their body and mind to instead consider how societal barriers and norms prevent full access and participation for differently abled-bodies. The person with the impairment is not the "problem," it is the larger societal norms that cannot accommodate their bodymind difference from the Western construction of a "normal" able-body and mind. For more information on these models of disability see Tom Shakespeare (2006) and Eli Clare (1999).

App: The Human Story/
A very worthy Kickstarter to fund a film about apps and the people that make them. Federico Viticci of Macstories says it best:
Most people think that apps simply "exist" on the App Store. They don't care about in-depth reviews and they assume that people who make apps work at Apple or Google. And yet so many people's lives have been positively impacted by apps, which were made by other people who had an idea and made it happen.
That's a story worth telling, and it seems like Story & Pixel are making a great film out of it. I highly recommend checking out their Kickstarter page.
I'm a backer.

Dynasty Warriors Online is a free-to-play hack-and-slash MMO developed by Tecmo Koei and published by Aeria Games. The game is based on Dynasty Warriors, the popular 3D fighting game franchise, though it differs greatly from the fighting game in several ways. Dynasty Warriors Online features a PvP slant with numerous PvP options and an in-game leveling system that allows players to level up and develop their characters. DWO also throws in many traditional MMORPG elements, such as player housing, large-scale PvP, and other social aspects.
This coming Monday, March 14th, Dynasty Warriors Online is dropping it's first big update, Heavenly Strike. The update brings about a new tournament system, a new faction and more!
In our latest MMORPG.com review, Dynasty Warriors goes under the proverbial microscope. The review is penned by Bobby Travis and he gives readers all the information necessary to decide whether or not Dynasty Warriors is the game for you. Check it out and then compare notes by leaving us a comment below.

Dynasty Warriors Online is now in commercial release with new features, items and the ability to re-align characters from one faction to another.

Estee Lauder | Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refresher | @FirstBlush
This post contains affiliate links.
We're friends right? Well, I only ask because we have to admit, I don't have to have a reason to buy anything...and that applies to why I bought this product.
Why I Bought It:
I pride myself on only supporting or selling products I can say I have tried and when I worked at Estee Lauder, I made it a point to try everything we had. I purchased this for my own collection because I love the way it smells but also how it made my skin feel. Nothing more refreshing.
What I Love About It:
Super lightweight! You don't need tons of this stuff and that helps to soften the blow when it comes to the cost (or what I tell myself to help me sleep at night because I have a shopping problem).
What I Didn't Love About It:
I have no issues with this product. I can tell the difference in my skin when I do not use it, so I guess we have to blame it for working and further supporting my shopping/skincare/makeup addiction.
- Use a little at a time
- Apply before your moisturizer,
- Remember, skincare products absorb better after a good wash and toner.

VOLANT, Pa. — The Black and Pennsy swamps in Lawrence and Mercer counties are unique places for wildlife to live because of the intersection of forest, water, and grassland habitats. Because of this, many different species of birds can coexist. Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers have plenty of trees. Mallards and American Coots have water to swim, feed, and breed. The Red-winged Blackbirds have open grassland areas for the wide open spaces.
One species that utilizes both the grassland and wetland habitat in these swamps is the Sandhill Crane. What makes it interesting is that the Sandhill Crane is a species that shouldn't necessarily be in this area. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's All About Birds, Sandhill Cranes' range does not reach this far east. That clearly isn't the case anymore.
On the second day of spring, we observed cranes in the Volant Flats near the Black and Pennsy Swamps. We counted nine Sandhill Cranes standing in an open field. Because of their large stature and red head, they are quite easy to spot and identify.
Their range is expanding to include Pennsylvania, since they have been sighted many times over the past 20 years, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. It is interesting that the birds have not only arrived in Pennsylvania, but have continued to come back. The evidence is clear, their appearance is not just a stopover for migration.
According to eBird, there were sporadic sightings of the cranes in Pennsylvania in the 1980s and the earliest breeding record was in 1993.
In comparison to the rest of their range, the state population is small, but extremely significant. The Game Commission is currently tracking the Sandhill population to study the trends. Over the years there will be more accurate information regarding the eastern population, but that still doesn't answer why they made a home in this part of western Pennsylvania in the first place.
Game biologist suggest the cranes started arriving in Pennsylvania due to their migratory patterns, but stayed because of the ideal habitat. Wetland conservation of both public and private lands aided in the crane population. Some of the sites we birded on were state game lands, featuring thick marshes perfect for waterfowl. It shows the necessity and benefit of wildlife and habitat conservation.
Changing climate would also contribute to the move. Weather patterns, temperatures, and habitat degradation in other regions could influence the situation. I predict that more species that share the crane's habitats in other regions will discover places like the Black Swamp. Though we can't say for sure it was because of climate change, we shouldn't ignore that factor. Continuing to protect wetland and grassland habitat allows for more birds to find their home.
Though Sandhills are fairly new to the area, the Black and Pennsy Swamp provide an ideal habitat for them. The Sandhill Cranes are here to stay, so keep an eye out for them!

We took advantage of the Southern California resident tickets to Disneyland over the weekend. We attended a birthday party in Pasadena and then headed to Disneyland at about 4:30. I thought it would be too later, but we also really wanted Ethan to see the lights at Disneyland after dark. We got to the park just as the parade was starting and Ethan found the perfect seat on Daddy's shoulders. He was excited to see all of the floats, even though he didn't know all of the characters.
After the parade we headed to Toon Town. We love taking him there because we can let him out of the stroller and run around to burn off some energy without having to worry too much. Of course as soon as we took him out of the stroller, he made a dash for the cars.
Another favorite item at Toon Town is this telephone box. I still remember how much fun he had with the telephone the first time we took him. He was only 18 months at the time and still couldn't get enough of the phone. I hope this isn't an indication of what's to come during the teenage years.
It got dark pretty soon after we got to Disneyland so we decided to head over to California Adventure to finish off the night. We made a quick lap around Bugs Land, Cars Land, and finally the pier where we played some games. We were so lucky that Karissa fell asleep in the stroller and stayed asleep. We were able to stay for the fireworks and even grabbed a quick bite to eat before going back to the hotel. Disneyland is definitely more exhausting going with two kids, but well worth it. I love seeing the look on Ethan's face when he sees things he recognizes from his Disneyland app that we have on the iPad. He's starting to really like Disneyland!

Atlanta, Georgia. I take the team out for dinner on Peachtree St (of Gone With The Wind fame) and get back to my hotel at 11:00. Work for a couple of hours. Before I know it, it's 1:30 a.m. I have a 4:30 a.m. start, and begin to wonder if there's any point in sleeping at all. Even consider the idea of going to bed complete dressed for the next morning, so that I can tumble out of bed and into the car the next morning. Go into the bathroom (this aids contemplation, in case you were wondering) and stare at myself in the mirror for a while. Brush my hair. And as I do, I see that the few grey hairs I've had since I was 18 have begun to procreate and produce new ones. Almost in a daze, I begin to count them, separating each strand. 1, 2, 3, 4... when I get to 16, I stop counting.
Kansas City, Missouri. On Tuesday night, before I left for Atlanta, the weather forecast predicted crisp, cold weather in Kansas on Friday. As the aircraft zooms down low over Kansas City, I wake up, and notice the ground covered in patches of glistening white. Hard to tell from up here whether it's sand or snow. I remain undecided until we land, and then, as the plane taxies to the terminal, patches of ice glistening on the runway catch my eye. Shit, I think. An unexpected snowstorm the previous day has covered freeways and roads, and on my way to my meeting, I see cars stuck in snowdrifts on the road. Once off the freeway, we get onto roads that the ploughs have not tackled yet - icy roads on which cars have slowed down to a crawl. Absolutely nothing all around. "Buckle up, Dorothy, cos Kansas is going bye-bye" runs endlessly through my brain. The airport has tornado shelters. Needless to say, my flight back to Newark has been delayed - thunderstorms near Newark have caused all incoming and outgoing flights to be grounded. When the boarding announcement for our flight is finally made, the waiting crowd cheers loudly. Suck as it may, I will be glad to get back to Edison.

There's something missing here – when purchase orders are incomplete
When analyzing data in checks or audits, you often find that not everything which looks like a problem really is one. You may frequently check whether compulsory entries in the data are missing, and then possibly deduce problems in data consistency – sometimes your conclusions prove to be false.
To avoid this and not report too many "false positives" back to a department, it is a help if you understand the system in which the data are generated, combined with the business processes.
We will take a look at this in this blog post referring to analysis of order documents from SAP® based on the case "Purchase orders without purchase order items".
This focuses on the tables EKKO (order document headers) and EKPO (order document items); data-based screenshots use the desktop version of ACL™ Analytics software.
SAP® images are based on the transaction ME23N ("See order document"). Here the user sees the major content of purchase orders (purchase order number, supplier, document type, item, goods receipt, invoice receipt, etc), or can branch to it.
Data appearing in this mask are saved in the above tables, i.e. focus on EKKO and EKPO, the purchasing document headers and the purchasing document items (plus, in the EKBE table in the case of the order history).
For a data analyst directly accessing the entire data set (the "raw data"), and not going the round-about way through the SAP® GUI, the picture is usually less of a color mixture:
Scenario of purchase orders without purchase order items
To start data analysis the analyst would check data consistency. The theory behind this is that in a consistent data set corresponding purchase order items must exist for each purchase order. By comparison of purchase order headers with order lines ("unmatched joins" in technical terms) you discover that there are six purchase orders for which no purchase order items exist.
Does that need to be a problem?
To get into it further, the analyst looks at one of the purchase order numbers concerned by transaction ME23N. Very clear, above the header, is the text "Held standard purchase order". That is presented as follows:
In SAP® it is possible to save purchase orders temporarily (to hold them), and possibly to continue processing them later. These may then also be incomplete, i.e. not all compulsory entries need to be filled in. From a data point of view you can identify such purchase orders – or exclude them from analysis – by the MEMORY attribute in the EKKO table. If an "X" is entered, this is a "Held purchase order". For held and incomplete purchase orders it is not possible to book goods or invoices received or to release them.
Overall there are 14 purchase orders in the data that are now excluded for the following analysis or are to be looked at separately. The EKKO table was filtered for all entries in which the EKKO_MEMORY field is not blank, enabling them to be looked at separately.
Concrete conclusion
For your own reports based on order documents – no matter whether you do this with ACL™ or extract data from SAP® systems by the SE16 or SE16N transaction – you should remember that held (and thus possibly incomplete) purchase orders can be contained in the data, and exclude them if necessary. The "Incomplete" attribute does not only refer to missing purchase order items of course. It can mean the absence of a whole variety of content.
General conclusion
Sometimes it is not all that easy to trace back to the base data from the content shown in SAP® transactions. For example, while the supplier number shown in ME23N also appears identically in the EKKO table, it takes a lot of imagination to associate the text "Marked purchase order" in the SAP® mask with the table field EKKO_MEMORY. Occupying yourself with these details is certainly not relevant for all checking and analyzing activities – but it can enhance the quality of analysis and the conclusions that are drawn.
There are further examples in which data are missing or fields are not filled in where you would expect it, like supplier number or material number. I will be looking at this later in a separate blog post.

Men's Hockey Terriers: Continuity Is Key
As season begins, experience is on their side
The BU men's ice hockey team launches its season tomorrow night with a bull's-eye on its back. The Terriers are ranked 6th in the country by USA Today and 10th by United States College Hockey Online.
Their home opener against the University of New Hampshire Wildcats will be the start of what promises to be a fiercely competitive Hockey East battle. But that's not the only challenge. The Terriers' schedule is relentless. And they have the task of recovering from the 2010–2011 season, when the team, one of the youngest in the program's history, came up short.
But the 2011–2012 squad has something that last year's team sorely lacked: experience.
"We're comfortable with each other, there's a lot of camaraderie in the locker room, and we're a tight-knit group off the ice as well," says captain Chris Connolly (MET'12). "Being that much older and being more mature can only help us this season."
Connolly, one of only five players remaining from BU's NCAA championship 2008–2009 team, says last year's 19-12-8 record was a decent outcome given the team's youth. But he was disappointed by the Terriers' failure to make the NCAA tournament and their elimination in the Hockey East quarterfinals at the hands of Northeastern.
"The ultimate goal is to get back on top and win a national championship, because there's nothing that compares to that feeling," Connolly says. "At the same time, I just want to be able to improve on last year and take a step in the right direction."
Head hockey coach Jack Parker (SMG'68, Hon.'97) concurs with Connolly's assessment.
"It was a solid year for us because we were third in Hockey East, with a young team in a difficult league, but we didn't go anywhere near where we'd like to," Parker says.
Fortunately, the team heads into the new season with a number of advantages. The Terriers lost only three players from last year's roster: forward Joe Pereira (MET'11) and goalie Adam Kraus (MET'11) graduated, and defenseman David Warsofsky (CGS'10) signed with the Boston Bruins in June.
Among this season's returning players are all seven of the Terriers' top scorers from last year and five of their six most experienced defenders.
Connolly was captain last year also, so he's familiar with the role. He's the first two-year captain since Jack O'Callahan (CAS'79), a member of the legendary "Miracle on Ice" U.S. Olympic team that won a gold medal in 1980. Connolly finished last season tied for second on the team in points, with 28, trailing only newly appointed assistant captain Alex Chiasson (CAS'13).
Forward Charlie Coyle (CGS'12), last year's Hockey East Rookie of the Year, was drafted 28th overall by the San Jose Sharks in 2010 and has been listed as the 20th-best prospect in the National Hockey League by the site Hockey's Future. And top goalie Kieran Millan (MET'12), a runner up for Hockey East Player of the Year honors last season, returns as well. Millan, a 2009 draftee of the Colorado Avalanche, holds BU's single-season record for saves and was named the Terriers' Most Valuable Player last season.
Beyond the Terriers' stars, there is no lack of talent on this season's team. Of the 26 players on the roster, 13 are NHL draftees, and a 14th—Ben Rosen (CAS'13)—was invited to the New York Islanders minicamp earlier this year.
Parker says that while talent is obviously important, it's only one of the factors that will determine the team's success this season. "Talent doesn't win," Parker says. "There's not a team in this league that doesn't have talent. Attitude and effort are what win in this league."
Connolly agrees, and says that what will determine the Terriers' success is how well they play in late winter and spring. "We have to make sure our team is playing our best hockey at the end of the year, and that's something that's hard to achieve," he says. "It usually works out that the team with the older players can make more of a run come playoff time. Hopefully we're playing our best hockey come April."
Parker says he is confident that the Terriers will be able to maintain a high level of play all season.
"Last year's team was the youngest team I've ever coached, both as far as class year and age," he says. "We had 17- and 18-year-olds playing against 24- and 25-year-olds, and the long season wore on them. Some who had great starts fizzled at the end. But I think the best thing that happened to us is that we got older this summer. We've been through the war a bit, and that in and of itself will make us a better team."
The Terriers begin their season tomorrow, Saturday, October 8, when they take on the University of New Hampshire Wildcats at 8 p.m. at Agganis Arena. Tickets are $19 for BU students, faculty, and staff, and $26 for the public. Tickets may be purchased ahead of time here or at the Agganis Arena ticket office.
