Came for a pharmaceutical dinner and service, food and ambience was perfect. The menu had great options but can't give feedback on prices because I didn't pay
Dinner at the restaurant was wonderful and the drinks at the bar were fabulous. A special lavender martini. Service was wonderful and we had a pleasant unhurried evening.
The food was just ok. The ahi appetizer was fair. The cheese ( served with crackers ) was very good. But the steaks were average - which is fine but the price point was closer to a Morton's while the food quality was closer to Quinceys. The decor is a little run down and dingy. I got a little perturbed... More
Was looking for a great steak during a recent business trip and I found it! Great salad bar and the best steak I've had in Fayetteville. You could tell it was a local favorite. I'll definitely be back!
It was a busy night since it was Valentine's Day. I ordered a prime rib and baked potato and my husband ordered a blackened chicken with asparagus. We ordered our food immediately only to find out that the waitress said that she would not put in our order until my husband had visited the salad bar. The waitress was a... More

Definitely worth the... More
Pleasant atmosphere, fantastic salad bar selection, I had a medium cooked t-bone which was cooked rare, it had great flavor just not cooked to order, meal came with veg. told veg was broccoli.

Pretty nice for Fayetteville. This is not Ruth's Chris or Mortin's. But a great place to get a decent quality steak in an Army town.

Every time we eat here we have a great time. My boyfriend took me out for my birthday. Their service is always great and their steaks...so good!!! I will continue to come back!

Political Editor
Baroness Thatcher yesterday brutally exposed the debate in the Tory party on the direction of domestic and European policy by suggesting her legacy was "being undermined" by John Major's administration.
Lady Thatcher touched the raw nerves of a jittery Tory party by going out of her way to highlight cuts in mortgage interest relief as one of the key reasons for the Tories slump in popularity before declaring: "These are true Conservative things and we must get back to Conservative policy."
The remarks, on Radio 4's Today programme, coincided with fresh speculation that Mr Major - who is threatened with a leadership challenge in November - will seek to overcome Treasury resistance to mounting backbench demands for an emergency package to help homeowners in the Budget.
Allies of the former Prime Minister reinforced her declaration that a leadership contest would be "most destabilising" by suggesting that far from wanting to see Mr Major removed, she was acting as a candid friend to her successor to help him stave off the threat of a challenge which could see Michael Heseltine installed in No 10.
Nevertheless, it was candour rather than friendship that was most in evidence during her interviews yesterday. She said she was "delighted that the Prime Minister is getting more and more sceptical". But she added that she had only agreed to join the European Exchange Rate Mechanism "because I was finally the only person in the Cabinet resisting it and I knew John Major wanted it".
In the face of her declaration that she was "absolutely" against the single currency, Downing Street clung to Mr Major's speech in the Commons on 1 March in which he insisted that the Government would keep open its options.
But Lady Thatcher's onslaught on monetary union will boost the morale of leading Euro-sceptics who will today press Mr Major for a commitment not to enter a single currency in the next Parliament.

Name and appointments
Laurie Reitsema, Assistant Professor
Director, Bioarchaeology and Biochemistry Laboratory
Ph.D. Anthropology, Anatomy minor. The Ohio State University 2012.
I study human diet as a link between biology, culture and environment, focusing on stable isotope analysis of archaeological human skeletal remains. My bioarchaeological work is informed by ties to human biology and primatology. I chiefly work with European skeletal samples, and also use stable isotope analysis to study diet and stress among modern humans and non-human primates. The Bioarchaeology and Biochemistry Laboratory is equipped to facilitate a wide variety of sample preparation for isotopic analyses, ranging from mineralized tissues, to soft tissues, to plant tissues. Some current projects are described below.
Research Areas and Interests
Biological anthropology
Stable isotope biogeochemistry
Diet and nutrition
Physiological adaptation and developmental plasticity
Colonization and culture contact
Europe, southeastern United States
Research projects
I. Bioarchaeology
Colonization and culture contact: I am involved with two projects currently examining the health and lifestyle consequences of culture contact, using data encoded in human skeletal remains. I am a co-director of the Bioarchaeology of Mediterranean Colonies Project (BMCP), in collaboration with the University of Northern Colorado, and investigate diet change and the role of migration in the context of ancient Greek colonization through isotopic analysis (C, N, O, Sr). Isotopic techniques can identify "locals" from "non-locals" in the colony cemeteries, toward better characterizing the extent of migration, and who was migrating (men, women, children). Isotopic data are used in tandem with bioarchaeological estimations of stress, relatedness, and health at both colonies and mother-cities, estimations of cultural affiliation through mortuary analysis, and with ancient DNA evidence for ancestry. This research is funded by the NSF REU Site: Immersive Research in the Bioarchaeology of Greek Colonization, [HYPERLINK: https://research.franklin.uga.edu/reu/ ] which brings eight undergraduate students to the Mediterranean each summer to undertake independent research.
Additionally, I study change and continuity in diet and health associated with European contact in the New World in the 16th c. AD. The Georgia coast was the site of a Spanish mission in the 16-17th c. and indigenous inhabitants of the region were strongly impacted by culture contact. My bioarchaeological and archaeological research on St. Catherines Island in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History and other institutions sheds light on the lived experiences of non-dominant populations that have left no modern-day cultural descendants.
II. Diet, Physiology, Life History, and Health
Early-life nutrition is implicated in a broad spectrum of later-life outcomes and mortality. Current research in the laboratory compares cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence from multiple tissue types toward understanding diet's role in growth and development and early mortality in the southeastern United States, Poland, and the Mediterranean region (Greece, Italy, Albania).
Stable isotope ratios in animal tissues reflect diet, but also are impacted by physiological status. The Bioarchaeology and Biochemistry laboratory is equipped to work with a variety of biological materials from living humans and non-human primates. A particular area of interest, in addition to diet and mobility in the past, is the application of stable isotope analyses to modern human populations and primates to understand physiology, stress and disease.
III. Primate Weaning and Dietary Ecology
In addition to studying weaning trajectories of past human populations using mineralized tissues, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis can reveal diet and weaning among living non-human primates. Ultimately, long-term effects of early versus late weaning can be explored, once weaning trajectories are precisely mapped. Current research in the lab in collaboration with Stony Brook University, Duke University, and the University of Michigan examines the social context and biological outcomes of weaning among wild gelada monkeys (Theropithecus gelada) from the highlands of Ethiopia.

NOTE: Also a licensed mortgage loan originator in Florida.
I have been in the real estate industry for 30 years, with the first 14 years in new-home construction and general real estate sales, and the last 16 as a mortgage banking.
I am a different kind of mortgage banker because of my true desire to help my clients from the beginning to the end, to help look outside of the box and to prepare diligently for that home purchase or refinance. I care about my clients now and in the future to ensure that they are on sound financial ground as far as their home needs are concerned.
Now a resident of Nashville for more than two decades, I moved to the area in 1995 from southern Florida, but was raised in Ann Arbor, MI (Go Blue!). I have lived and worked in Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle and Ft. Myers FL, but am happy to call Middle Tennessee home.
In addition to the helping people close home loans, I am a musician and writer, and have performed in Europe. I love traveling, especially with my wonderful husband Matt, and our children and grandchildren. Our Coon Hound, Barney rounds out our family.

A journey of discerning and following God's Spirit
Does your congregation
just feel "stuck"?
Feeling like it needs
New energy?
New vision?
New vibrancy?
New vitality?
The Office of Church Life and Health (OCLH) is now offering a program for congregations that are desiring (re)Vitalization.
(re)Vitalization is for congregations that have either experienced decline or feel like they are stagnant. According to research, that includes many churches.
The world has changed – rapidly and in ways we may not even have been able to imagine – and now the Church needs to develop in order to fulfill and thrive in our mission from God. This is an opportunity to explore together what it means to be a 21st church that transforms lives, neighborhoods, and our world.
(re)Vitalization is not a "quick fix," a "how-to," nor even necessarily a series of "steps." It is a process that does not, cannot, happen quickly, nor does it happen without complete dedication to listen for and follow God through change. OCLH will provide resources, guidance, and support; but, the congregation will be the ones to do the work, through the power of God's Spirit.
If you are interested in learning more about this program for your congregation, and are ready and willing to be humble, learn together, and take risks, then
- Look over the Informational Flyer for the (re)Vitalization Program
- Watch the Overview Webinar for the (re)Vitalization Program
- Review the Overview PowerPoint for the (re)Vitalization Program
- Read about More Details of the (re)Vitalization Program
For specific information on the assessment process in the program
- Watch the Assessment Webinar for the (re)Vitalization Program
- Review the Assessment PowerPoint for the (re)Vitalization Program
And please feel free to contact OCLH Resource Development Specialist,
Rev. Lisa Heilig at email@example.com for questions.
**The (re)Vitalization process can begin any time. Most important is starting the path of spiritual discerning, listening, following, growing…

Abstract - This paper discusses about the usage of phased array antennas for mobile earth stations. With the development of modern-day mobile satellite communications and the increased demands hereof, phased array antennas are now of interest for such applications, also from a commercial perspective. Generally, omni-antennas are well suited for applications where the requirement of the earth station antenna gain is sufficiently low. However, in applications where the gain requirements are larger, the omni-antennas are not feasible choices. Therefore, phased array antennas are the feasible choices. In phased arrays all the antenna elements are excited simultaneously and the distinct main beam of the array is electronically steered by applying a progressive phase shift across the array aperture to achieve higher gain.
Since 1945, with the introduction by Arthur C. Clarke of the concept of an artificial satellite, antennas have played a significant role in the development of satellite communications [1-3]. The simplistic role of antennas in this case can be viewed as follows. The signal is beamed into space by an uplink antenna, electronically processed onboard the satellite, sent back to earth using a downlink antenna, received by the earth station antenna and processed by the electronic receiver [4]. The types of antennas that are used in this system depend on a number of factors. These, to a large extent, are related to the distance between the satellite and the earth.
A variety of configurations involving satellites for wireless communications exists. A geostationary satellite may provide a large coverage similar to the large and fixed coverage of a mobile radio communications system. The communications satellites tend to complement the terrestrial network. GEOS's have a number of drawbacks when it comes to global voice communication. The communication system requires high-power transmitters with large antennas to overcome the propagation loss suffered by the signal due to a large distance. Such conditions are not practical for mobile systems. To overcome these problems, a number of low-orbit satellites have been proposed for mobile satellite communications systems such as LEOs.
The various satellite communications systems set very different requirements for the earth stations. Depending on the distance to the satellite, data rate, and the satellite repeater gain, the earth stations must comply with certain requirements for the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) and receiver G/T, (ratio of antenna gain to system noise temperature) in the transmit and receive cases, respectively. Hence, a range of different antenna types are employed in earth stations in order to comply with these requirements such as omni-antennas and phased array antennas.
For applications where the requirement of the earth station antenna gain is sufficiently low, omni-antennas are well suited. In particular for LEO constellations, such as employed by Iridium, the path loss is relatively small. Since the LEO satellites are not geostationary, the omni-antennas are even more advantageous because there is no need to direct an antenna main beam towards the satellite. Omni-antennas are also used with GEO constellations, an example being the low data rate Inmarsat mini-C service [9]. Examples are quadrifilar helix antennas [10], drooping dipole antenna [11], and small omnidirectional arrays [12]. In order to increase the directivity at low elevation angles, some omni-antennas are designed with a null in the radiation pattern in the antenna bore-sight direction. An example of such an antenna is the JAST WorldSpace Boat Antenna [13].
In applications where the gain requirements are larger, the omni-antennas are not feasible choices. In such cases the antenna must have a distinct main beam, directed towards the satellite either by mechanical or electronic means.
In phased arrays all the antenna elements are excited simultaneously and the main beam of the array is steered by applying a progressive phase shift across the array aperture. Thereby higher gain can be achieved. Some of the first applications to satellite communications were developed for land-vehicular use under the MSAT-X programme in the 1980s. Two different 19-element phased arrays were constructed, a cavity-baked crossed-slot array by Teledyne Ryan Electronics [14, 15] and a microstrip patch array by Ball Aerospace [16], both in co-operation with Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). In the late 1980s, planar [17] and trigonal shaped [18] phased arrays were developed in Japan, consisting of microstrip and crossed-slot elements. Both were aimed at the Inmarsat aeronautical services which received much interest in the wake of the EMSS project. For the maritime Inmarsat-M service, a 12-element spiral antenna array was developed in [19] and more recently a 19-element patch array [20]. A further example is the 12-element stacked-patch array for use with the Optus MobileSat service, developed in [21].
Typically, satellite applications employ highly directive antennas, i.e. parabolic dishes that are not suitable for mobile applications, where low profile antennas are required. This requirement involves the need of implementing a phased array antenna with beam scanning capability. Furthermore, these antennas need to be setup precisely because of the high angular reception. When pointed directly to a satellite, a signal is received which can be used for television or communication. The setup is fixed and can therefore not be moved; in a mobile situation such high angular reception could be performed with the use of a phased array antenna. To keep up the satellite link on the move, continuous elevation coverage shall be guaranteed, moreover, in order to maintain low profile characteristics, elevation beam steering shall be assured electronically, and a suitable phase shifters network is included in the feeding network in order to provide the right phase relation among the radiating elements feeding signals [36].
High rate downlink communication has been traditionally accomplished via a system employing a high gain reflector antenna. An electronically steered phased array antenna system offers several advantages over reflector antennas in this application. A phased array antenna does not require mechanisms for either deployment or beam steering. Electronic beam steering can be extremely agile, allowing virtually instantaneous beam re-pointing from one target to another. The generation of multiple independently steered beams from a single aperture is also possible. A final advantage of a phased array antenna is that an aperture consisting of multiple, distributed power amplifiers is inherently tolerant of individual amplifier failures, avoiding catastrophic single point failures, without requiring complex component redundancy [37].
Nowadays, the phased array antenna technology has been developed to meet the emerging communications need. It remains the most promising type of sharply directional antennas [22]. By assembling a number of antenna elements to form a phased array, the direction of the main beam can be controlled. This is accomplished through the adjustment of the signal amplitude and phase of each antenna element in the array [5]. Accurate pointing of the beam in the desired direction minimizes radiation in the unwanted direction, and improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the overall efficiency of the system [32].
Electronically steerable antennas, also known as phased arrays, have been a research topic during more than 60 years with the analysis of linear arrays by Schelkunoff in 1943 [23] being one of the pioneering works. Following the 2nd World War, the interest in phased arrays received a boost as the necessity of improving the existing radar technology became apparent [24]. Thus it was realized that the phased array antennas enable very fast scanning compared to the bulky mechanical radars, prevalent in the air defense systems of that time. In the 1960s and 1970s the increasing armament with ballistic missiles spurred the development of more advanced air defense systems, including ground-based missile tracking radars [25] as well as radars for ships and aircraft [26, 27].
It is often desirable to electronically scan the beam of an antenna. This can be accomplished by changing the phases of the signals at the antenna elements. If only the phases are changed, with the amplitude weights remained fixed as the beam is steered; the array is commonly known as a phased array [5]. As shown in Figure 1, a phased array consists simply of antenna elements, each of which is connected to a phase shifter, and a power combiner for adding the signals together from the antenna elements. The phase shifters control either the phase of the excitation current or the phase of the received signals. When all the signals are combined, a beam is formed in the desired direction. That is, on transmit side, a beam is formed in space, and on receiver side, the signals from the antenna elements add coherently if the signals are received from the correct region of space. A beam forming network is used to either distribute the signal from the transmitter to the elements or combine the signals from the elements to form a single signal path to the receiver. The network may also be used to provide the required aperture distribution for beam shaping and side lobe control [33].
Figure 1: Linear Phased Array Antenna [5]
A number of challenges must be overcome in order to arrive at a well working phased array design. These concern the actual performance of the array as well as simulations and numerical models necessary for predicting the array performance. The height of the antenna array is of some importance. This is particularly the case for aeronautical applications where the antenna should not compromise the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft. However, the height is also important for land-mobile applications. In this case the visual impression of the antenna is very important from a commercial perspective.
A critical parameter of the antenna performance is the G/T which is the ratio between the gain of the antenna and the system noise temperature. This number is also known as the Figure of Merit [34] and it is of interest because it is directly proportional to the ratio of the received carrier power to the noise power spectral density. The antenna loss plays an important role in the G/T in that it diminishes the gain as well as increases the system noise temperature. Another important antenna property is the EIRP which relates to the transmit mode of the antenna and is the product of the gain and input power. Typically, the requirements for the G/T are the most difficult to fulfill since both the antenna gain and loss must be considered. For MSS applications where geostationary satellites are employed, e.g., the Inmarsat system, it may be necessary to scan the beam to low elevation angles, especially if the earth station is positioned in the northern or southern regions of the Earth. Therefore, sufficient G/T must be obtained for a wide range of scan angles. In order to ensure this, the elements must have wide element patterns. They must be located close to each other to avoid the occurrence of grating lobes, and generally the antenna loss and system noise temperature must be kept as small as possible.
Since the mutual coupling is generally larger for small element separations than for large, wide element separations may seem preferable. However, it is also well known that a small element separation has the effect of reducing the impedance variation with scan angle [35]. From the above it is clear that a number of challenges exist and that the successful design of a phased array antenna for wide-angle scanning applications is not a trivial task.
From a simple investigation of a single isolated element it is difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain the overall array performance. While application of simple array theory, i.e., the "array factor", may provide an approximate assessment of radiation properties, such as main beam directivity, side lobes, and grating lobes, it basically disregards all the challenging issues [35]. It is therefore important to be able to model the array with sufficient accuracy, that is, to predict the mutual coupling, the active element patterns, the resulting array scan loss, and ultimately the array G/T.
In many cases, a numerical simulation of an entire array is difficult to conduct and requires large computational resources. In order to avoid this problem it may be preferable to model the elements of the array individually or in pairs of two to assess the mutual coupling. Alternatively, the array may be modeled as an infinite array. In the case of a large or moderate-sized array, both approximate models may imply significant reductions of the computational complexity. However, these approximations may yield unacceptably inaccurate results. A further aspect of the array performance is how the radiation is affected by surrounding structures such as a finite ground plane which vary in shapes, curvatures, etc.
While the early applications of phased arrays were almost exclusively military, the technology slowly permeated into civilian applications during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It remained a very expensive technology, employed mostly for specialized applications such as air traffic control in airports [25, 28], as well as various space-borne applications [29]. During the 1980s and 1990s early experiments with mobile satellite communications systems were conducted. In the Mobile Satellite Experiment (MSAT-X) in the USA [30] and the Experimental Mobile Satellite System (EMSS) in Japan [31], a number of phased array antennas were developed for land-vehicular and aeronautical applications [14, 16-18]. With the continued breakthroughs and cost reductions of electronic components, phased array technology is no longer prohibitively expensive. Furthermore, the development of modern-day mobile satellite communications and the increased demands hereof, imply that phased arrays are now of interest for such applications, also from a commercial perspective.
The Phased Array Antenna is the heart of a communication on the move terminal, that can be widely used for military vehicles and general ground applications where communication on the move and space saving are mandatory requirements [36]. An array of antennas may be mounted on a mobile (vehicle) to communicate directly with a satellite, along with its control circuitry, to steer a beam toward the satellite. As the direction of the satellite with respect to the mobile is changing constantly due to vehicle movement, it requires constant tracking of the satellite and adjusting of the direction of the beam such that it points toward the satellite. Apart from this, the structure of the land-mobile antenna also needs to take into account the aesthetic aspects, which is not the case for base-station antennas [38].
Nowadays achievements on mobile satellite systems (MSS) communication give a great concern for research in global wireless communication fields. Mobile satellite communications systems, or Mobile Satellite Services (MSSs), enable people to communicate from almost anywhere on the surface of the Earth without the need for fixed communications infrastructure, e.g., traditional land-line and cellular phone services. Important areas of application are ships (maritime), aircraft (aeronautical), and ground use (land-mobile).
Present-day MSSs primarily operate with satellite constellations in the Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The LEO is located at an altitude of about 700-1500 km, while the GEO is at about 35600 km, above the Equator [6]. The early MSSs, including the globally operating Inmarsat, were all based on GEO constellations. Advantages of the GEO are that the entire Earth, except the polar regions, can be covered with 3 satellites and that the satellite positions remain fixed relative to the Earth. Disadvantages are the high altitude which implies a large signal path loss, lack of coverage at the polar regions, and the very costly process of inserting satellites in the high-altitude GEO [7].
Recent years have witnessed an introduction of a large number of mobile satellite (MSS) communications systems. These include a global GEO MSS system, Inmarsat, and domestic GEO MSS systems such as North-American AMSC, Japan's N-Star and the Australian Mobilesat [2]. At present, two types of antennas can be used to access GEO MSS services. They include (1) fixed position antennas, which are used with portable transceivers, and (2) fully mobile antennas such as those installed on a land vehicle. The fixed position antennas are relatively easy to design, as they have to meet a moderate (approximately 7%) operational bandwidth and a medium (about I0dBi) gain. There are a number of complete portable systems in the commercial market that include both a transceiver and an antenna [8]. One inconvenience of portable systems is that they require the user be stationary with respect to the ground. This inconvenience can be overcome with a mobile antenna system.
In the late 1980s it was concluded that LEO constellations were no longer infeasible for commercial MSSs [6] and some of the attention shifted from GEO to LEO. Within a relatively short time a number of LEO services sprang to life. The developments of several Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems have promised worldwide connectivity with low delay real-time voice communications. Furthermore, the path loss is much smaller and thus the requirements for the antenna gain of the user terminals are not so severe [7]. Since the LEO satellite systems revolving around the Earth overlay mobile terminals (MT) or Earth stations over several minutes only, a sophisticated LEO satellite tracking must be introduced. Phased array antenna is seen to be the most promising solution [5]. There have been increasing demands for phased-array antenna systems that can improve system performance as well as expand its functions. A lot of architectures for phased-array antennas have been investigated for use of radar and communication systems because of the attractiveness of beam steering without mechanical elements [4].
As a conclusion, phased array antenna consists of a number of antenna elements assembled together in order to control the direction of the main beam. All the antenna elements in the phased array are excited simultaneously and the distinct main beam of the array is electronically steered by applying a progressive phase shift across the array aperture to achieve higher gain. Phased array antennas are the feasible choices for mobile earth station since they provide larger gain requirements compared to omni-antennas. With the development of modern-day mobile satellite communications and the increased demands hereof, phased array antennas are now of interest for such applications, also from a commercial perspective.

What Is Passion?
Take a few minutes to answer these questions:
What does passion mean to you?
What draws you to the idea of passionate living?
Some of our greatest visionaries and leaders describe passion as the urge to experience one's true self. Passion is also considered a compelling emotion, like love or hate. Does passion seem like an ultimate feeling to obtain? I would suggest that passion is the feeling that the spirit holds in order to know itself in its own experience—a magical and surreal feeling. You may also agree that passion is the seeking of self-realization and the actualization of your greatest dreams as you conceive of them. Passion, and the state of being passionate, is quite possibly the greatest purpose you can attach yourself to. Finding your passion is therefore 100 percent necessary.
Passion, and the state of being passionate, is quite possibly the greatest purpose you can attach yourself to. Finding your passion is therefore 100 percent necessary.
What does passion mean to me? I call it the feeling of being unstoppable, clear and driven; the knowledge that what I am doing, how I am doing it and why I am doing it is completely aligned with the greatest understanding of myself that I have in that moment; the deep-rooted sensation that I am complete, I am right and I am authentic; and the knowledge that what matters most to me has my full attention. Passion. This is what passion means to me, and I invite you to seek the full meaning of passion for yourself in your own life.
Now take another few moments and ask yourself the question again:
What does passion mean to you?
As you continue reading, I invite you to keep your mind and your heart open, as we explore how to live your passion, starting now. To restate, passion, and the state of being passionate, is quite possibly the greatest purpose you can attach yourself to.
Throughout the following chapters, you may notice that the format centers on asking a question and finding the answer. The answers are unique to you, so honuor them and record them as you see fit. This will strengthen your journey in defining and discovering your passion. In the next chapter, we will explore what to do with your definition of passion. How do you want to view life as you know it?
Who Do You Think You Are?
What answers would you give to the following questions?
What factors determine the image you have of yourself?
What defines your self-esteem?
Have you determined these answers for yourself?
How do you want to view life as you know it?
One of my favourite excerpts from Conversations with God (Book 1) is the following: "Desire for the whole life process to be an experience of constant joy, continuous creation, never-ending expansion, and total fulfillment in each moment of now." Can you imagine if everyone in the world thought this way about life?
"Desire for the whole life process to be an experience of constant joy, continuous creation, never-ending expansion, and total fulfillment in each moment of now."
So, who are you? Really and truly, who are you?
I love the following words of Lao Tzu, as they simply state a very powerful truth that we tend to forget in the midst of chaos and busy-ness: "At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want."
"At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want."
When I ask my clients the question of who they are, they give me a long list of credentials or some kind of story about their past. But if you examine the question further, you will see that I am not asking you to list items off your résumé (which explains a part of you) or to tell the story of how you came to be (which explains your past). Instead, I am asking you to ask yourself the following:
Who are you, according to yourself?
Who are you right now, and what do you stand for?
These questions are stimulating and can also be intimidating, but not to worry.
With the only constant being change, it is inspiring to know that your self-image will evolve with you as you add more references and experiences to your life. In addition to that, who you are is far more interesting and valuable than a list of skill sets or a set of organized memories.
It is inspiring to know that your self-image will evolve with you as you add more references and experiences to your life. In addition to that, who you are is far more interesting and valuable than a list of skill sets or a set of organized memories.
In my own past, I would turn to my relationships to help me determine who I thought I was. Rather than looking to external and superficial references, which are important to a certain degree, I ask you to reference your own mind, your feelings and your deeper self in order to gauge who you are, which is far more important when deciding who you think you are. To me, referencing the deeper part of myself was a foreign concept, especially since I listened to too many people who squashed my self-esteem and self-confidence. Perhaps you feel the same way. Perhaps, as is the case with so many of us, a sinking sensation of insecurity clouds your mind from time to time. You may have been on the rise at some point, and started to feel like you were on the right track and suddenly ONE thing happens, and it all comes crumbling down. Early in my dance and entertainment career, I had experienced so much rejection in the process of auditioning. To prepare, and invest time and energy into an audition, feeling like I had all the right elements necessary, just to be faced with a flat out no from the casting agent. Rejection in one instance is something that will absolutely affect your self-esteem and self-confidence, naturally, as this kind of experience doesn't make you feel good. However, what I have learned is that these moments of feeling "bad" do not define you, nor does it define your self-esteem and self-confidence. I have also found that in dealing with client relationships and in the marketing of services, entrepreneurs and service providers are left vulnerable to face potential clients who may not understand them or not really want the service that they are offering. Many are polite and matched my communication, in terms of care and tact, and every so often, I will face ONE client who just does not like what I am doing. They may even go out of their way to tell me. It hurts and I have moments where I question myself, but with a very developed sense of self and the image I have of myself, I conclude that I must decide where I direct my energy. Who I am does not have to appease everyone, just as who you are does not have to appease everyone. First and foremost, it must be true for yourself in order for you to feel congruent and in alignment with who you are. Rather than lingering and dwelling on the negative of a particular experience, get back into your own mind and in your own self to create the image you have of yourself. I value time, and I asked myself, how can I save my time from worry and fear about assessing who I am? I didn't realize I could change my self-image just be deciding. I didn't realize how much personal power I really had. Do you know much personal power you actually have? I didn't realize I could change my self-image just by deciding. I didn't realize how much personal power I really had. Do you know how much personal power you actually have?
Imagine a world where circumstances are in your favour. This time, I ask again: Who are you? Right now, decide and confirm that you have unlimited personal power to create your self-image; in that image, envision yourself as passionate, living the most passionate life you can imagine!
Take a moment to answer this question:
What factors determine the image you have of yourself?
Let us dig deeper and develop your self-image. Answer these questions about your mother:
What do you admire most about her?
What do you find disgusting about her?
Then answer these questions:
What do you admire and find disgusting about other family members? Your best friend?
What is your favorite animal? How does it move? How does it behave? What does it look like? What quality is it most known for?
Who is your favorite boss? Business Partner? How did they make you feel? Why did you like them so much? What things did they say to you that has stood out in your mind?
Who are your favorite celebrities? What are they known for? What do they look like? What makes them special to you?
Who are your favorite artists? What is their artistic specialty? Why do you enjoy them more than others?
Why do I ask you to look at what you like and dislike most about these people and things? It is because by looking at what you like and don't like about others, you are able to design an array of some characteristics that you wish to adopt and some that you may need to disown.
By looking at what you like and don't like about others, you are able to design an array of some characteristics that you wish to adopt and some that you may need to disown.
If you think about it, all you have ever done is model yourself on other people in order to learn about and experience life as you know it. If as a child you wanted to be a doctor, then the pathway was set out for you. You modelled yourself on and studied with professors at the schools of medicine, and you followed in their footsteps in order to experience the life of a doctor. If you chose to work in a particular profession, then you were brought into a company or workspace, and you modelled yourself on the person who had the most knowledge about what to do in order to get the job done. With that truth in mind, you can see how sometimes we continue doing the same thing over and over again, because it is all we know or all we have been taught. Now is the time to challenge what we know and what we have been taught.
Given your set of experiences and the breadth of knowledge you have acquired up until now, you will continue to reflect outwardly that which you have made inward. So, with regard to defining your self-image, keep in mind that we often see in others what we understand about ourselves; it is difficult to see anything outside of the frame of reference of our own experiences and understanding. For this reason, learning to live in your passion is going to require some self-investigation.
Think about your earliest childhood memories, even back to your baby pictures and youngest collection of memories ... Can you see how you naturally rejected that which you didn't like, and spent hours with that which you loved?
Environmental, societal, cultural, educational and other factors all play a part in shaping our minds and ultimately programming our self-identity—who we think we are. Have you ever been caught up in your external environments and placed value on your relationships to and with others, rather than placing emphasis on your internal environment? If what is on the outside of your world has dictated much of how you have lived your life, then it is possible that you have lost a sense of your true self, to a certain degree. You may have ignored the natural gravitation toward that which you love and the natural rejection of that which you hate.
If you are unclear about who you are, it is very easy to be persuaded to go with someone else's flow or another pathway does not serve your greatest purpose. Allowing myself to gravitate towards that which I really wanted would seem natural if I was daring by nature, but quite the opposite, I have experienced many struggles with trusting my own decisions. This was one of the bigger struggles I ever dealt with and I found that it boiled down to fear of judgement. Fear is a common emotion and response that affects all of our mental well-being. Being judged and having the ability to judge are necessary in decision making, but I have learned that harsh judgement makes us feel bad about ourselves. Fear mixed with harsh judgement is like poison to the mind.
Fear mixed with harsh judgement is like poison to the mind.
As a result of its programming, your mind's behaviour is understandably cyclical and repetitive, and it remains this way unless you make a conscious decision to empower yourself and change internally. Furthermore, becoming judgemental and conscious of judgements leaves a person forgetting that he or she has the personal power of choice to differentiate him- or herself from outward influences. You may not be able to change your external environments; however, you do have the power to change your internal environment.
With that in mind, take a moment to answer these questions:
What factors determine the image you have of yourself?
What defines your self-esteem?
You discover what your self-image is when you explore the things you stand for.
What is truly important to you?
What causes you to feel something beyond indifference?
What have you decided is worth it for you?
What value do you assign to your own self-worth?
I believe that life is a beautiful evolution. Some of our greatest world leaders have suggested the same concept. I believe that life is a beautiful evolution. Things unfold before us in such magnificent ways and most times, it is beyond our comprehension as to how it all came to be. Specifically, look at nature around you - our eco-system, our human bodies, space and the galaxies. Things move in magical ways, and some of our greatest world leaders have suggested similar concepts. Albert Einstein spent his entire life teaching concepts about life, physics and science and was often quoted for his inspiring thoughts about how incredible our world truly is. We can also see evidence of beauty and evolution all around us. If it is inevitable that you will evolve beautifully, then I ask you this: Will it be the result of your willingness and actions? Or will it be the result of indifferent happenstances in your external environments? Consider this: In each moment, you are given an opportunity. Every morning that you awake, this is an invitation to spend your day doing what you choose to do. You may have heard before that the only constant is change, so while things are inevitably changing, will you choose to seize your opportunities? You can evolve according to the conscious choices you make or according to the unconscious passivity that you accept.

You can evolve according to the conscious choices you make or according to the unconscious passivity that you accept.
One of my favourite mentors is Anthony Robbins. He asks, "If we are not clear about what we truly stand for, then how can we expect to lay the foundation for a sense of self-esteem?" Self-esteem is directly related to who we think we are and how well we live up to our images and ideals. While pondering these questions, my thinking process has resonated powerfully. The more one goes inward and asks the tough questions, the more natural it becomes to compare and contrast one's outer world and make inward connections.
Regardless of the perspective you have when facing the question of who you think you are, you may find that since life is our creation, the naturally progressive question is, Whom do you want to be? Creating the answer to this question is an incredibly powerful and empowering process that infuses your life with long-lasting passion.
Now that you have had time to reflect, I ask the question again:
Who are you?
I also ask this one:
When was the last time you had an honest conversation with yourself?
Honour your self-image, your identity, your highest image of yourself. It's never too late when you view the present as a present. In the next chapter, you will come to understand a concept I coined: your internal compass™.

Another top literary agent is on the move. Derek Johns, head of A P Watt, has told authors he represents, such as Jan Morris and Linda Grant, that he is retiring.
A P Watt, the oldest literary agency in Britain, was sold to United Agents last year but as part of the deal it is temporarily keeping its name. It was owned largely by three shareholders, Johns, Caradoc King and Linda Shaughnessy, who are all in their sixties. Now that the link with United Agents is up and running, Johns is the first to go. Will King and Shaughnessy follow him before too long?

First training centre for smart meter installers to open in Newcastle
Posted by Bdaily Business News on 09 Dec 2013
A new smart meter installer training centre, which is expected to create new employment for up to 2000 trained engineers, is to be unveiled in Newcastle this week.
Newcastle City Council leader, Nick Forbes, will unveil the centre which is due to officially open in January.
Run by energy services company, Future Energy Solutions Ltd, the centre will be the first of its kind to open in the north east of England. It will offer accredited training to those wishing to become smart meter installers and it is expected that up to 400 candidates will be trained each year.
Smart Meters are a new kind of energy meter which replace existing meters and work by communicating directly with the energy supplier. Smart Meters will ensure that all energy bills will be based on real time reading rather than estimates and customers can track energy usage accurately.
Tim Cantle-Jones, managing director of Future Energy Solutions said: "This vocational training is very relevant and important at this time when plans are being put in place by energy suppliers to ensure that smart meters are installed in every house by 2020.
"We are delighted to be opening the centre in Newcastle which will support the training of smart meter engineers from the North East, Yorkshire and Scotland."
The training centre is being operated in partnership with Nutech Training, which is based in Blackburn and has been delivering training for smart meter installers for the past 18 months.
Neil Turner, managing director of Nutech Training said: "There is still a massive shortage of qualified smart metering engineers needed to support the government's plans.
"This agreement with Future Energy Solutions provides an opportunity for the north east to be one of the first areas in the country to see widespread roll out of smart meter installations."
Nick Forbes said: "I welcome this new business and congratulate them for creating these jobs in Newcastle.
"Energy bills take up so much of a household's monthly income, so it can only be a good thing if accurate information enables people to better manage their money.
"Smart technology has many different applications and as it becomes more widespread will play an important role in the future of our cities."

Third time (nomination) was the charm, and season 13 of Grey's Anatomy is living up to the hashtag Grey's cast & crew nicknamed it (#Lucky13). Lucky for Justin and lucky for us fans who love watching him play Alex. He's had the main storyline this season and he's been killing it. 🔥 🔥 Looking forward to the show's return soon!
Anyway, after Jesse Williams's congratulatory tweet in the previous post, here are a few more from co-stars Sarah Drew and Camilla Luddington, Grey's head writer and executive producer William Harper, and Grey's propmaster, Angela Whiting.
Congratulations @7JustinChambers on your #peopleschoiceawards win!!! So well deserved, my friend! pic.twitter.com/UTycLZcOUv

Justin didn't attend the PCAs and his award wasn't announced during the telecast because there were so many award categories. However, Grey's Anatomy won for Favorite Network TV Drama and some cast members attended the show. The video wasn't included in the previous post, so here is the brief moment when the win was announced.

Foundation piles deviations[Subject Prev][Subject Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next]

I have a building in construction phase, as the designer, the contractor and the client are sending the as-made location of the foundation piles.
The piles were done by CFA Method, 70cm diameter, 15m depth.
Almost each of the pile was done in deviation from the original design location I'd designed, about 2% to 20%
Do you know a kind of rectification for this kind of installation errors, or just to execute some other ones?
Executing other ones will be very complicated; I'm looking for other smarter solutions.

(GayWebSource.com - Gay Media & Press Network) - Posted by Doug Magditch
Monday night, John Wright announced on Facebook he'd just been fired from his position as senior editor of the Dallas Voice.
As is often the case in personnel issues, the owners aren't saying much.
"John has his opinion, and we have ours, and they are not the same," Leo Cusimano, the publisher, told The Dallas Morning News. "We stand by the actions we took."
However, Wright has a lot to say about his former employers. This is why he got fired, in his words:
OK so here goes. I have poured my heart and soul into Dallas Voice for the last six-and-a-half years. I've worked my ass off for minimal pay because I loved my job and I loved fighting for equality. As a reward, I was unceremoniously fired Monday for alleged insubordination, which is a totally false and slanderous charge. I can tell you that I did absolutely nothing wrong, and my termination was unjust, immoral and just plain wrong.
Roughly six months ago, the original owner of the Voice, Robert Moore, sold the newspaper to his ex-husband whom he had recently divorced, Terry Thompson, and the longtime sales director, Leo Cusimano. Since then, things have gone steadily downhill. In my opinion, the new owners of the Voice are interested in nothing but profit. They don't seem to care about the LGBT community or their employees, and they certainly don't care about doing good journalism. They want an editor who will write puff pieces about their advertisers instead of reporting the facts, and I refused to be that editor.
For example, last week we reported on the new dress code at Dallas Pride. Organizers of the parade are among the Voice's biggest advertisers, and they were not at all happy when this became a national story. They blamed me for it. I also raised objections about the cover of our Pride issue because I didn't think it included enough minorities, and specifically African-Americans. In response, I was shouted down and told, "That's not our market."
These are just a few examples of what I have endured for the last several months. The new owners wanted to get rid of me, so they fabricated something out of thin air. Of course, they waited to do this until I had just closed on a house. This whole thing is a total outrage, and I'm still in shock over it. If you're reading this, I hope that you will help me do something about it. The LGBT community needs to take back its Voice.

Video: "Motherfucker" on Motorcycle Drags PBSO Deputy Across Highway Interchange
People will do some crazy things to get out of a speeding ticket, but the cops say 38-year-old Victor Morales took it to a whole new level.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, one of its deputies clocked Morales riding his motorcycle at 112 mph near I-95 and Gateway Boulevard back in late March.
In a video from the sheriff's office released to CBS12 yesterday, the entire event is captured on the deputy's dashboard camera: The deputy catches up to Morales as he came to a stop on the next interstate off-ramp, and as Morales tried to speed off, the deputy grabs on to the back of the motorcycle -- taking a horrifying 300-foot drag on the bag of Morales' bike.
The first moment you know the deputy is OK is when he hops up, brushes himself off a bit, and screams "motherfucker."

The deputy actually attempts to continue his pursuit of Morales, hopping back into his patrol car and speeding down the highway.
Police tracked down and arrested Morales at a Boynton Beach shopping plaza shortly after the dragging.
Morales now faces charges of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, and resisting arrest with violence. He was released from police custody on March 30.

could be better
first of all, let me get this straight. I DO NOT LIKE VAMPIRES!!! this flash has vamps in it, but they r being killed, so that's good. sadly, i think the arrow would never kill a reel vamp. to up the comedy value and solve this pesky problem, have it cut to a scene at a store with "omg! holy water half off! omg!" he buys some, runs back to the scene, and pours it on the vamp. vampy make a huge scene of dying, as the victim drops dead in the background, right after our hero pulls the straw (lol) out of his neck.
lol, im lazy :P but thank you for all the good advise. But in real vampires tories, tree nails/arrows/whatever, tree something can actually kill vampires. So that was a tree arrow :P
too short
too short but other then that it was pretty ok.
Ok thx.
short but nice done
simple drawings, nice animation, good jokes.
keep practicing
Good enough
Smooth animation and not so bad drawings. Maybe would be better with a background song and more details. Or with some comedy, I mean, better comedy. It was not that long too.
Oh well.. it's a good and simple halloween movie. I think there isn't much to complain.
:P i couldn't find any background music that fitted for an un-spooky halloween movie.
not bad
The aim was (judging by you'r comments) to creat a fast paced random flash, not bad. the speed was quick but the sense of urgancy wasn't it was over before you could build a sense of speed. The randomocity was mediocre, i've been random for over six years now but lack the ability to put it to paper like yourself. if instead of the guy shotting him with an arrow, he see's the vampire, the scene cuts back to vampire where he is standing with a bow and arrow ready behind the vampires head. It has to make less sence to apply randomness. let every though run wild.
I do that, its just hard to do random suff WITH quality in a short time.
