About Theresa
From Theresa:
"When I was 2 years old, my next-door neighbor would stand me up on a stool, with a microphone hooked up to an old tube amp, and let me wail. Ever since, writing and performing my music has always gotten me through the hard times, brought me the richest relationships, greatest torment, and most exuberant joy."
View Theresa's profile for some quick facts.
Theresa and Her Music:
As a songwriter, Theresa demonstrates her ability to spin a tale - behind which she masterfully creates a mood and a presence that can alternately send shivers down your spine or make you tap your feet. (MUSICIAN'S NETWORK MUSIC MAGAZINE, SEATTLE WA) Theresa mixes Folk, R&B, Rock, and touches of jazz. The Portland Tribune, A&E Staff Writer Janine Robben writes: "Theresa Demarest has been a nun, wife, mother, single parent, Critical Care RN, cancer survivor, motorcycle mama. But, most important, she's a singer with a bluesy-folksy-jazzy voice that picks up the high and low notes of each of her experiences and reproduces them with perfect clarity - like a really great sound system."
Theresa performs with 3 - 8 musicians from her band Good Company depending on venue, sound requirements, and performance budget. The band is able travel. Band members have been performing with Theresa for over 10 years.
Joshua Records:
What's in a Name?
Joshua Records is named after Theresa's son, Joshua James Demarest.
The song "Bein' Who You Are" from the album of the same name was written for Josh. He was in high school at the time.
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
The Joshua Record's logo was created from the sunglasses-wearing Brother, Theresa's dog. The logo was lovingly created from an actual photograph of her amiable and laid back wolf-husky found abandoned in the forest in Bend, Oregon. One morning while vacationing with friends on the coast, Brother, in his usual low key manner, was lounging on the porch in his flannel shirt and sunglasses when a friend snapped this photo. The rest is history.
Theresa Demarest and Good Company:
Keeping in Sync with Good Company
Adding sizzle and spice to Theresa's stellar musical story-telling talent is her band, Good Company. Comprised of some of Portland's finest and most gifted musicians, Good Company provides the auditory tapistry, upon which Theresa spins her magical tales.
Good Company Time
During Live Concert performances Theresa often steps off the stage to allow the stellar members of Good Company to take their turn in the spotlight and do whatever they feel like doing that night. Myrtle Brown along with Janice Scroggins and Linda Hornbuckle performed a most outstanding version of a James & Jean Cheatham piece called "Meet Me with Your Black Drawers On". Janice Scroggins at a previous PCPA Concert with Theresa Demarest & Good Company performed and exquisite version of her original song titled: "She Arose".

Theresa as a Film Maker
Theresa's First Video: A Herd of Two
Theresa Demarest is happily engaged in her life long career as songwriter/producer for Joshua Records in Portland Oregon. Her CDs are sold and distributed nationally. Her live shows and award-winning music garnered a great deal of regional press. Life is good.
Then something happened that changed the direction of everything and led to the making of A Herd of Two.
While on vacation in 2004 she decided to take some horseback riding lessons. That's when she came nose to nose with a little 6 month old highly spirited Half-Arab Half-Saddlebred filly named Tehya Takoda. This film is the first in a series of their compelling journey to becoming a "HERD OF TWO".
With the release of this DVD Theresa debuts her first film using instrumental versions of her music in the sound track.
Keiko The Untold Story
A Documentary by Theresa Demarest
Joshua Records will release adocumentary about Keiko's life and legacy, utilizing footage from multiple participants in Keiko's recovery and release efforts, and incorporating music written by Theresa Demarest and Good Company.
Keiko The Untold Story is the first film to center on the killer whale himself and his process of rehabilitation and release after over fifteen years in captivity. More than a nature documentary, Keiko The Untold Story is a character study that delves deep into the world of the beloved orca. The goal for this film is to encourage folks to take a second look the whole effort to release Keiko back to the wild.
Theresa and Cancer
Theresa has struggled with cancer twice. Her passion for life and determination to do what she loves is a testiment to how she took this devestating aspect of her life and turned it into something amazing. Her story will inspire you to live life to the fullest, and support you if you have or are struggling with cancer yourself.

Astroracer brings up some very good points to consider. Interesting article there but I noticed the author doesn't address narrowing the centerlink. If the centerlink is narrowed in the center the exact same amount as the subframe bumpsteer shouldn't occur (as long as the upper control arm bushing, tie rod joint and lower control arm bushing are in the same plane as engineered by GM).
Camber and caster should be able to be brought into align if the horizontal and vertical planes of the control arm attaching points were not changed from original. I think that is Astroracers point. Changing the subframe width can radically effect geometry.
The article states this suspension will raise the truck 3 - 4 inches higher than stock height, then you'll get dropped spindles and perhaps springs to get the truck a little below stock height.
Just a few more thoughts - This change looks like some skilled fabrication and welding are needed, if you can do that, great, if not that fabrication talent cost's $. The spindles and springs will cost additional. If you haven't already cut the frame have you compared using a Mustang II based unit cost to the costs (spindles, springs, disc brakes) and additional work of this subframe?
I certainly don't want to dissuade anyone from being creative and resourceful in their build but want to assist looking at issues and options.
Have fun

THE COLONY — Talk about acceleration. Toyota and other major corporations are transforming eastern Denton County from pastures to an expansion epicenter. In the heart of the Highway 380 corridor, St. Martin de Porres Parish is preparing a future home for thousands of Catholics.
FORT WORTH — Approximately 425 fifth-grade students from 17 Catholic schools across the diocese gathered at the annual Fifth Grade Vocation Day along with Bishop Michael Olson, nine priests, six sisters, and two seminarians.
DENTON — Jesus said in Luke 11: 9-10, "Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

Sara and Kevin's Wedding
"The original photographer we hired quit before our wedding so we had a new photographer who was still very new and not as well organized with her compositions. Their organization skills in general are not all there since they forgot to tell us about the photographer change and some other changes. It was nice having 2 photographers for most of the day, the second photographer had a lot of energy, but it seemed like he was the lead photographer rather than the lead we had been told we'd been assigned."
Andrew and Lori's Wedding
"Micheala was a great photography. She was so helpful throughout the day and was always looking for the next fun shot. She also kept the formal shots moving and over with quickly. We would recommend her to anyone."
1102 Country Club Court Bellevue Wedding In March
"The actual photographer, Micheala, is awesome but the people that run the company are not exactly on the ball. Their prices are reasonable and we really liked our pictures."

Chanel muses on global cooling with iceberg show
By Sophie Hardach and Mathilde Gardin
PARIS (Reuters Life!) - An event based around hundreds of fashionistas flying in from all over the world was never going to be a convincing platform for environmental campaigning, but designers in Paris haven't let that stop them.
While British designer Vivienne Westwood regularly rails against global warming, fashion king Karl Lagerfeld trumped her with a rival theory at the Chanel show on Monday: the globe is in fact cooling, and he has an iceberg to prove it.
"Have you felt any warming this winter?" Lagerfeld, with trademark black sunglasses and white ponytail, told reporters after showing his autumn collection, referring to freezing cold weather outside. "Maybe that's all nonsense, who knows."
Lagerfeld had erected a huge iceberg in the middle of the glass-domed Grand Palais to mark his chilly theme, dressing models in fake fur trousers and yeti boots to prepare them for the coming ice age.
"In any case, nature has its surprises," he added wisely.
Chanel's classic tweed suit was reinforced with fur-trimmed sleeves and hems. The tweed itself was lightened up as Lagerfeld used wool-embroidered organza instead of classic heavy tweed.
Animal fur has been making a comeback on catwalks in recent years, despite fierce protests from animal rights activists, but Lagerfeld said he had opted for a compromise.
"There wasn't any real fur, it's all fake. The word 'synthetic' is horrible, fake fur used to be hideous but there's been enormous progress," he said. Continued...

Local Missionaries Help Earthquake Victims
With more devastation to hit Haiti earlier yesterday... as a six- point- one magnitude aftershock rattled the county... volunteers are scrambling to bring aid to the victims.
Two missionaries from North Central Florida returned from Haiti Tuesday night...
And say they encountered an aftershock of a different kind before the earth moved again yesterday.
Richard and Beverly Felmey, who are from Bell, have been missionaries in Haiti for more than 10 years...
They live 60 miles north of Port-au-Prince and say refugees have flooded the village... seeking shelter and medical care, and sending a human aftershock to a place that had been spared.
The Felmey's say there's just not enough resources to help everyone... which is why they returned to the states-- To raise money.
To help the Felmey's ministry, which is called "Feed My Sheep Ministry"...

OTTAWA – Canadian universities and colleges welcomed a record 100,000 foreign students in 2012, the government said Tuesday, part of a plan to replace retiring baby boomers in the workforce.
The figure is a 60 percent rise in enrollment from 2004. The government is also working to keep more international students working in Canada after graduating, by revamping immigration policies.
Starting in the 1970s, Canada's labor market has shifted from a resource-based economy to a service-based one, requiring a more highly skilled and educated workforce.
In response, Canadian universities have doubled their capacity in the last 30 years, according to Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, which represents 95 Canadian schools.
But now, with the looming retirement of many baby boomers — the massive generation born just after the end of World War II — school administrators have set their sights on increasing international student enrollment.
Foreign students now make up about 10 percent of the total student population in Canada.

Tonight's season finale of Legit will be the FXX comedy's swan song. FX Networks confirmed today that the sophomore comedy starring Jim Jefferies has been canceled along with the FX freshman animated series Chozen. FX Networks CEO John Landgraf said last month that FX and FXX would be doubling their original output in the next year and that the fate of Legit and Chozen would be decided after their current seasons. Chozen wrapped its 10-episode run March 31. Legit was renewed for Season 2 in March 2013, along with fellow FX comedies It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and The League, and all three were moved to the fledgling FXX, along with late-night talker Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell, which has since been cancelled. Legit followed the often often raunchy adventures of Jefferies, an expat Aussie comedian living in Venice, CA, with his boozy, divorced best friend Steve (Dan Bakkedahl) and Steve's kid brother Billy (DJ Qualls), a quadraplegic with MS. Chozen, about a gay white rapper (voiced by Bobby Moynihan) who's fresh out of prison, was from Danny McBride — whose Eastbound & Down recently wrapped a four-season run on HBO — and his Rough Pictures partners Jody Hill and David Gordon Green. Chozen was the first original series order for FXX back in June.
FXX's 'Legit' & FX's 'Chozen' Cancelled
40 Comments
Damn. Chozen was HILARIOUS!
Why did they even pick the show up for series if they weren't going to support it? I think it had potential and the ratings weren't terrible… can't anything get a chance these days?
I liked Chozen, too, but the ratings WERE terrible. The last episode I could find a rating for got like a .2 in the demo, and just as bad in overall viewers.
Yeah, and it also had the best and most compatible lead-in possible in Archer.
That's kind of disappointing. Legit is generally very funny, and Chozen, though it had a bit of a slow burn, was starting to find its rhythm near the end of the first season.
The Legit episode in which Jim does the stand up routine railing against the NRA left me wondering if the gun nuts would get him pulled. That was tongue in cheek, but damned if I wasn't shocked by this cancellation. It was a great show, right up there with "Louie". One of the best shows cancelled…can't believe it. That sucks!
FXX… bring back UNSUPERVISED!!! That was the best new show, animated or otherwise, you've had in awhile and would have been perfect for FXX.
OMG yes. It was fantastic.
It was the shit.
I'm sick of celebrities pitching, creating and getting paid to helm animated series featuring lame premises and self indulgent stupidity. I'm looking at you Jonah Hill… oh and Danny McBride. C'mon, Danny, you're smarter than this crap! And c'mon, networks– there is way more stuff out there on the internet by up and coming writers and animators that's infinitely more funny… wake up!
Agreed. And Nicole Clemens is a true enemy of comedy over there.
I suspected the move to FXX was going to kill Legit. It's a shame. Great show.
Agreed :(
Legit was fun. Completely wrong, vulgar, but just effing funny.
"Eric the actor" kills another show
They lost me at "gay white rapper." And I'm guessing most of America.
Fringe, American Dreams, In Plain Sight, now Legit. Yet another series brought down by Eric the Ack Ack Actor
Legit is so much better than Louie and yet that remains on the air. Not right.
Completely different shows based on very different comics. Both brilliant.
Basically if you're a new series that got moved to FXX, your cancelled.
Great shows like Legit should avoid Eric the Actor, 100% kill rate…
Chozen had a seriously grating pilot, I for one refused to give it a chance after that, despite Method Man's everlasting charm. It had Archer as its lead-in, if that wasn't enough then nothing much else would have been.
I'll bite what does Eric the Actor mean?
Just watched the first season of Legit on Netflix and thought it was pretty good. I didn't get to catch any of the second season because Direct TV charges extra for FXX. Seriously, why did FX create and move shows to this channel if it wasn't going to be available as widely as the original is. They practically killed It's Always Sunny for me, as that is my favorite show. I had to wait for Comedy Central reruns.
Maybe not make a separate channel for your comedies that play at the same time as your dramas on another channel because the audience was the same? People who like shows on FX? Can't count the number of times my DVR has been messed up because of this pointless move.
Legit is one of the most heartfelt comedies that FX has ever had. FX is just like NBC now. They fail to take into account that the vast majority of viewers watch shows on their DVR or flat out download them. Going by "low" ratings (facepalm) is such an outdated mode of determining a show's success.
DVR/NextDay viewing is taken into the ratings now. They issue overnights and then updated ratings which reflect who watched it 'later'. If it's not viewed within 24hrs though, it won't count in the ratings.
No one knows FXX exists. Don't blame the shows. Blame poor marketing and lack of advertising
Loved Unsupervised. Was just starting to really come together when they yanked it. Where do I sign the petition?
That sux. Legit was one of the better shows on TV.
I loved Legit. Totally stunned and bummed that it's cancelled.
The very creation of FXX as a separate "comedy" channel was a horrible idea. Then they decide not to move ALL their comedies there (Archer), THEN they cancel two genuinely funny shows. Having ONE channel filled with high-quality original programming made far more sense than splitting along unclear lines, and my cable provider didn't even have FXX available for DVR, so I couldn't watch Sunny unless I actually tuned in at the regular time, which most people don't anymore. So why mess with a winning formula? Was Michael Bay mad because you weren't showing his garbage movies all day long anymore?
Hey now, people have actually heard of Michael Bay movies. The crap that gets shown during the day in between Parks & Rec reruns barley lasted more than a week when it played, if it played, in theaters.
Huge mistake. Another network needs to pick these shows up stat!
Why o why would they cancel such a great show! Please reconsider FXx!!

From Green to Growth with Enterprise Sustainability
Enterprise Sustainability for Manufacturing is not just about the 'green agenda'. Nor is it purely related to Corporate Social Responsibility or branding. Instead, we at Atos are convinced that ambitious manufacturers are and will increasingly use sustainability excellence to drive competitive advantage and growth.
Commitment to sustainability will cut cost, through better use of energy and other resources. It will also improve risk reduction and prevention across complex value chains, strengthen brand image and improve employee satisfaction – to name just a few of the outcomes that help safeguard a company's future.
Delivering multiple benefits now and in the future
The Atos sustainability vision is a manufacturing-focused strategy to deliver measurable business benefits through four key components with Strategic Information Management at its heart:
- Operational excellence
- People, safety & product compliance
- Risk and Reputation
- Business IT infrastructure.
Our Enterprise Sustainability portfolio logically connects with, and in many cases is embedded, into our manufacturing solutions such as, PLM, MES and ERP.
World-class sustainability know-how
As acknowledged leader in sustainability performance, our strategy and solutions are based on direct experience and commitment. Examples being:
- Atos is part of the global Dow Jones Sustainability Index
- Atos achieved the highest possible rating of A+ from GRI in 2014, for the fourth year in a row
- Lessons learned in our own Corporate Responsibility Program are now leveraged for our Enterprise Sustainability portfolio: our green data centers, for example, are optimized for low energy use and reduced emissions, and we now offer these services to all clients
- We have been awarded the SAP Pinnacle award for sustainability excellence in 2012 & 2013.
Partnering with Atos
Enterprise Sustainability is not an optional extra for successful manufacturing strategies. It needs to be built into every aspect of business-as-usual.
Working with Atos you can start to unlock measurable benefits now, moving further and faster on your journey towards true long-term excellence in sustainability.

Yes he's 17, but this is nothing really new for our family. We've been through a lot of sh*t where my other brothers/sisters stepped up and made it work, well before the age of 17, nearing 18. He's never done that before, and it's now his turn to step up to the plate and contribute. In this case, his best contribution is to stop wasting money when it can be used to feed, provide clothes, pay heating/water bills, insurance, etc...
My point was that there are worse things than smoking weed. I speak from experience. I don't condone its use and I've had no desire to smoke it in decades. People who do drugs, legal or illegal, including alcohol, are usually looking for ways to escape whatever pain they feel. It's self medication. Do you ever spend money on alcohol? Don't kill him over it.
I'm sure that you have rationally explained to him what is expected of him, i.e., contributing to the family. Good luck.
BTW, I've experienced being "taken advantage of" and being "slapped in the face" plenty. My wicked ex did her best after I decided to divorce her to destroy me in every way imaginable (physically, mentally, financially, career, etc.). I will never be able to recover from some of the things she did to me.

Photographic Study of Bubble Behaviors in Subcooled Boiling
Situ, Rong, Mi, Ye, Ishii, Mamoru, & Mori, Michitsugu (2001) Photographic Study of Bubble Behaviors in Subcooled Boiling. In Panchal, C.B. & Bergman, T. (Eds.) 35th National Heat Transfer Conference, 10-12th June, 2001, Anaheim, California, USA.
Administrators only
Forced convection subcooled water boiling experiments are conducted on a vertical-upward annular channel. A high-speed digital video camera (5,000 frames/second) is used to record the dynamics of the subcooled ebullition process. The flow visualization experiments show that generally the bubble departure frequency increases as the heat flux increases. For some cases, the frequency may reach a limit around 1000 bubbles/second. The average bubble lift-off diameter becomes smaller as the heat flux increases. In addition, the bubble diameter growth and bubble velocity after bubble lift-off is determined by analyzing the image. The experimental data obtained from this study can be used in modeling of the bubble departure frequency, bubble lift-off diameter, and bubble dynamics in subcooled boiling.

Communications Relay
Goldstone Antenna
The 70m antenna at Goldstone, California against the background of the Mojave desert.
The relay phase starts when the primary science phase ends and lasts about two years, ending Dec. 21, 2010. (The orbiter carries enough propellant, however, to remain operational for five additional years if it is needed to support future missions.)
During this phase, the orbiter will support the Mars Exploration Program by providing communications support to future Mars missions during approach, navigation, and relay. The relay orbit is similar to that of the primary science orbit. In general, this orbit allows for relay access to any point on Mars. Most locations on Mars will have contact opportunities once or twice per day.
Relay activities and other activities in support of newly arrived missions have highest priority during the relay phase. Electra, the navigation and telecommunications relay payload, can provide UHF coverage to Mars landers and rovers on the surface using its nadir-pointed (pointed straight down at the surface) antenna.
Communications Services
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter provides three kinds of service to future spacecraft:
Navigation services
Forward and return link relay services
Timing services

Well Im finally going back to the coast again guys. I moved back with my parents in Wichita falls back in July until the house was sold. Now we're all moving back down to Rockport in the next couple of days.
Now I'll never have a reason to have to come back to this town :thumbup:
My dad bought a 34' Uniflite yacht to start his own fishing guide service, and my mom bought a small clothing store to run. And I'll go back to the boat mechanic stuff I was working with down there. Hopefully there will be some boats that need to be fixed when I get down there.
Only bad thing is, its a 12 hour drive down there, and we have 7 cats and a dog to get down there with us. Does anyone know of something we could give them to make them sleep the whole way :sweat:
Yeah, I got something, but they ain't wakin' up.................hate cats.
Have a good trip....I hear that cars really rot out down near the Gulf coast, due to the salt air......Is that true?
[QUOTE=poncho62]Yeah, I got something, but they ain't wakin' up.................hate cats. QUOTE]
LMAO, My thoughts exactly...2 or 12 Valium crushed up in each one of their food dishes.. :evil: J/K, Brad
Ive heard things like that before, I was thinking maybe putting a coat of POR15 or something like that to try and stop the rust, and the fumes may keep them out for a while. :evil:
Brownies? :thumbup:
how's por15 supposed to make the cats peaceful? :confused:
I'll take a fishing trip. let me know when he's got his shtuff together. :thumbup:
do what i do, you gotta stop somewhere to let the cats out to get some air, and take care of kitty bidness... well, i bet you won't have half as many cats after you stop and let them out... :evil: :welcome:
Yeah....stop on the side of the Interstate................and let them play in traffic................... :pain:
I was thinking the fumes from the POR 15 might get to them, might knock them out for a good while :evil:
Luckily, My mom and sister will be driving with the cats, and I'll be driving my dad's truck with my dog in the front seat. As much as I like those cats, I don't think I could stand a 12 hour drive with them screaming in the back :pain:
Larry, I got the bait if you got the beer :thumbup:
Some pediatric dimetapp or benadryl should put those cats nose down for a bit.
Give em a dose based on thier weight.
If you don't want to do that put them in a paper bag and blow them supers. :evil: :drunk: :cool:
Later ,
Doggy Downers, etc.
Valium (diazepam) works well. If you have a friendly veterinarian, tell him what you're doing and maybe he'll write a prescription. If somebody in the family already has some, 2-1/2 to 5mg should calm a cat or a small dog down for a while, although I did have to give a seriously agitated cat a good bit more than that one time.
Start with a lower dose because some critters (like humans) are more sensitive to it than others. Mix it with a little food right before you give it, otherwise they might spit it out. If somebody starts getting too agitated before you get where you're going, give them about half of what you gave them before, just to get their blood level back up.
It tends to be an appetite stimulant in cats (cat munchies?), and can cause them liver problems if used more than occasionally. Sometimes you'll run across a critter that starts acting crazy when under the influence. Again, kinda like humans.
Ooo you're moving by the coast again? Maybe we can team up and meet that glass girl I was telling you about before. :drool: :thumbup: Actually I have a better idea.. Plane tickets, Canada, Kyle, NOW!!!! :boxing: No questions!! :D
Glass girl? Show me where, that Vette needs a new windshield! I don't know bout the plane tickets, Im curious bout this glass girl. I just hope you don't have the same tastes as Rob and she's 300lbs and more hair on her back than her head. :drunk:
Alright, we made it back down here. Almost didn't with all the hell we went through to get out of Wichita falls. It was almost like that town was trying to chase us out how much crap happened, but Im gonna leave it at that.
All the animals made it here ok, only problem we had along the way was when me and my dad stopped at a rest stop, and my dog was riding with me, and my dad was holding the leash when I went to the bathroom. Well the leash came undone and we ended up chasing my dog down on foot along I-35 :rolleyes: My dad finally caught him when the dog stopped to eat a turd on the ground :pain:
And now, Im on free wireless internet from the neigbors. Haha suckers shouldn't leave their internet networks open. :D
Doc here, :pimp:
WELL..I WAS going to say...Catnip fur the cats...
Jack Daniels for the Dogs...
But it seems you managed on yur own...
Just how LONG have you been in the Witness Protection Program?? :evil:
I hear JPATS has Cargo Space fur Animals... :mwink:
Doc :pimp:
I like cats too but one is enough. Our 15 pounder just bought the farm after 14 years and we ain't getting another. He was a fun one. My wife used to bring home strays all the time and try to find them new homes but after the last one wanted in the house and climbed up the brand new bay window solar screen looking for a way in, I ran out and knocked it off with a closed fist. It didn't come after that and told my wife if she found another stray, not to come home. Unless I'm living on a farm, I don't see any reason for multiple animals lol

Why "Why" is More Powerful Than "How"
As the founder of the Family First Entrepreneur movement, I am constantly in conversation with very bright folks on the topic work/family balance. In my mentoring and coaching, I am gaining more and more insight into the world of change and how it manifests. Its been very interesting to notice the relevancy of the "why" being more important than the "how" as it relates to change.
Let me explain that statement by defining some terms. The "why" is the reason behind the change we are seeking in our lives. The "why" can be about avoiding pain or chasing perceived pleasure. The "how" is the mechanical process, or the steps we take to create the "why".
Many people dive right into the "how" because they know it is what they need to reach their goals. However, many miss the critical necessity of having a powerful "why" in place first.
As a teacher of Family First Entrepreneurial concepts, I continually have to remind people that the "how" will be unique to each individual. Your "how" has to work within your lifestyle. People have different marriages, children, businesses, and personalities, just to name a few of the factors that all go into defining your "how." All these things can drastically change how someone goes through with the process of implementing change. For me to try and rubber stamp a "system" of "how to" that will fit for everyone would be ludicrous.
Change only has a chance to truly occur when there is a powerful enough "why" to make you go though a process of discovery to figure out a mechanical change strategy. One that is unique to you, that can last and be successful.
Keep in mind, what we are talking about here, is change. Change is hard. It's one of the most difficult things in the human condition. It's hard to create change and even harder to stick with it. Change often occurs when the pain of our current situation overrides the fear of making that change. An example would be a husband who begins to accept the necessity of marriage counseling after realizing he may loose his wife and family if he does not go. The fear of ego implications or possible peer judgment of counseling is overridden by perceived or real pain of loosing the people that mean the most. This is one way change happens and it can be a powerful "why" that makes the "how" happen.
Another motivator of change that is less painful and more progressive is the dream of "greatness." Like the "how" and "why," "greatness" is self-defined and unique to each individual. The greatness motivation often becomes so powerful that people are willing to do what ever it takes to get there. This is where positive motivation can grab hold and make all things possible. Successful change happens when a powerful "why" makes us start and stay the course. The key is to capture that powerful "why" and bottle it, to be opened in times of weakness or when you stray from your intended path.
My strength, or my "why," comes from the love and duty I feel to my family. The duty, I feel, to provide them with the best spiritual, emotional, and financial environment I can, makes me be my best. I borrow the power and motivation from that duty to do things that make me feel uncomfortable, but that I know I must do. If it means walking away from a business venture that shows promise but will take me away from my family, then I know that I will have the strength to do so. If I realize I will have to grow personally to do something that will meet their needs, then so be it. They are the "why" motivates that change. I constantly remind myself how kids spell love, T-I-M-E. I do what it takes to make my time available to them. Calling myself a Family First Entrepreneur also gives me a powerful "why" message that keeps me in check.
Surround yourself with powerful "whys" and you will notice change happening more easily. Don't get caught up in the "how," it will make itself apparent as you go through your own unique process. Keep powerful motivation close at hand for times of weakness. Lastly, know that God wants you to succeed and grow. Ask for his wisdom and strength while you stretch and feel the pain of growth and positive change.

TriazolamSkip to the navigation
Drug Information
Triazolam is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia , and is in a family of drugs known as benzodiazepines.
Common brand names:Halcion
Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Reduce Side Effects
Support Medicine
A preliminary study showed that taking melatonin and triazolam together produces better quality of sleep than occurs when the drug is taken alone. The results also indicated that less triazolam is needed when melatonin and triazolam are taken together, which might reduce side effects such as morning grogginess.1 Additional research is needed to determine whether individuals taking triazolam should also take melatonin.
In a preliminary trial, an extract of periwinkle called vinpocetine was shown to produce minor improvements in short-term memory among people taking flunitrazepam, a benzodiazepine.2 Further study is needed to determine if vinpocetine would be a helpful adjunct to use of benzodiazepines, or triazolam specifically.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Reduces Effectiveness
Potential Negative Interaction
Drinking grapefruit juice with triazolam dramatically increases the amount of drug absorbed and the amount of time it stays in the body.3 Though the clinical significance of this interaction is unknown, some people may experience increased side effects, such as morning grogginess, dizziness, and poor coordination. Therefore, people taking triazolam should probably avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit for the duration of therapy.
Pomegranate juice has been shown to inhibit the same enzyme that is inhibited by grapefruit juice.4 , 5 The degree of inhibition is about the same for each of these juices. Therefore, it would be reasonable to expect that pomegranate juice might interact with triazolam in the same way that grapefruit juice does.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

Bloukrans Bridge
South Africa
Bloukrans Bridge is a breathtaking structure over Bloukrans River. What makes this bridge even more amazing is that you get to jump off it – Bloukrans Bridge Bungee. This was one major reason why I had come to South Africa. A drop of 216 m right into the valley. I felt this was a bit more challenging (read exciting) than the tandem skydiving because you are all by yourself here. The experience was totally worth it though. I headed next to Tsitsikamma National Park to go Kayaking and Li-Loing on Storms River. I then rushed to Port Elizabeth to catch my flight back to Cape Town, thus bringing the road trip part to an end.
Valley of Desolation
Murraysburg Road, Just outside of Graaff-Reinet, Graaff-Reinet
Hiking: The Monte Trois Pitons national park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is full of incredible hiking adventures. The rise and fall of its many mountains leads you trekking over active volcanoes. The Valley of Desolation is a particularly interesting area, but be extremely careful of the steam vents! The most exciting trek is through the park to reach Boiling Lake, a lake that is at a constant boiling temperature due to the volcano below it. It is an absolutely stunning view, and the hike will take the average climber to the limit of his abilities!3- The Lonely Planet RecommendationLonely Planet has released their long-awaited 'Best in Travel' lists, and Dominica ranks in the top 10 countries to visit in 2017! They attribute their recommendation to the beautiful and untouched natural environment of the island, and its great opportunity for eco-tourism. They also cite part of the beautiful history of Dominica and the many activities it holds out to modern explorers.4- The Island RelaxationOnce you've finished with your heart-pumping adventures, it's time to relax. Dominica is not home to many white-sandy beaches that are common throughout the Caribbean, but there are a few very nice ones. I recommend heading to the town of Portsmouth at the northwestern part of the island to see the lovely strip of beach that they have there. Try the rope swing if you're really adventurous, or just watch the local kids as they swing into the ocean on a lazy afternoon.

"You rear the cow, we'll sell the milk."
On digital experiences, Open Source, startups & the future
The fact that thousands of developers use Drupal to make money building websites for their customers has resulted in thousands of modules being created and hundreds of events being organized around the world. When I started Drupal, I wasn't aware of the importance of such a commercial ecosystem. Looking back at 10 years of working on Drupal, it is an important lesson learned. If I were to start a new Open Source project (I'm not!), the ability to build out a large commercial ecosystem would be one of the criteria that I'd look for. Disruptive innovations change entire industries, not just tools. Not every Open Source project lends itself to that.
I'm repeating myself, but if we want Drupal to be relevant longer term, one of the things we need to do is "make Drupal distributions work". Drupal distributions allow us to compete with a wide range of turnkey solutions as well as invent new markets. The number of different distributions we could build is nearly unlimited. From what I can tell, Drupal is the only Open Source content management system that is actively encouraging its community to build and share distributions. We have a very unique opportunity in front of us -- distributions can be a game changer.
But what does it mean to make Drupal distributions work?
We've began work on Drupal distributions during the Drupal 4.6 era based on our experience with CivicSpace (a distribution for political campaigns). Drupal 5 was a big milestone as we introduced a web-based installer with support for install profiles. We made incremental improvements to install profiles in the Drupal 6 release, and it wasn't until Drupal 6 that we saw a number of great Drupal distributions emerge: OpenAtrium (an intranet distribution), Acquia Drupal (a convenience distribution for site builders), OpenPublish (a distribution for online publishers), Pressflow (a distribution with performance and scalability improvements) and more. Finally, with some of the install profile related improvements in the upcoming Drupal 7 release and the fact that we can build and host distributions on drupal.org, I expect to see many more distributions going forward. In summary, we evolved the underlying technology over the course of 5 years and might have reached a point where our vision of install profiles can really come to live.
But ...
While we made a lot of progress on making distributions feasible from a technical point of view, we have yet to figure out the business model around Drupal distributions. Building and maintaining a high-quality Drupal distribution is no small task. It is also different from contributing a module. While writing a module is often billable, maintaining a Drupal distribution is arguably less so. In other words, can we build a successful commercial ecosystem around distributions so that we'll see hundreds, if not thousands of high-quality distributions, flourish?
We need to figure out how to make it commercially interesting (or at a minimum, commercially viable) for organizations to invest the time and money it takes to build and maintain a distribution. If not, distributions risk being nothing more than a costly but fun lead generation tool. I don't think that is scalable. To make Drupal distributions the game changer it could be, it has to be a no-brainer for organizations to get into the game of building one. Reducing the maintenance cost through tools like Drush Make and the packaging infrastructure on drupal.org certainly helps, but is probably not enough to make distributions take off in a big way.
At Acquia, it occurred to us that we might be able to help. Many Drupal shops lack the go-to-market infrastructure that Acquia built out over the last 2.5 years (i.e. 24x7 help desk, a marketing and sales organization) and that products often need. We can help market and sell offerings around distributions (e.g. 24x7 SLA-based support, hosting, remote administration) and share the revenue with the organization actually building and maintaining the distribution. It is a well-known model in the software world (such as the game industry), and is one example of how we could try to make it commercially interesting to build and maintain distributions.
Four Kitchens has built a business around offering consulting and support for Pressflow, the distribution they authored. Pressflow's popularity has driven demand for these services, creating a unique positioning and opportunity for Four Kitchens. Development Seed is in the early stages of rolling out their business model for OpenAtrium, one of the distributions they have created. They announced plans to offer developer support and a paid partner program as key tenets of their business model.
Of course, these are only a few examples of how we can help make Drupal distributions work. As a community, I think we need to brainstorm about this more.
"You rear the cow, we'll sell the milk."
A great post, Dries. In many ways the 'Smallcore' stuff that has been discussed over the past year or two revolved around this set of dilemmas. Although the name became (regrettably) muddled, it was ultimately about identifying and eliminating the pain points around packaging, distribution, and deployment of Drupal 'products' like PressFlow, OpenAtrium, Drupal Commons, and so on.
Some folks might consider that a distraction, but I think that it's integral to Drupal's long term success. It means providing a less tangly framework for solution-builders, and (most important) making it easier for them to tailor Drupal to the niches they're familiar with. Ideally, that will make it easier for 'end users' of all levels to hit the ground running with tools that match their needs.
It's exciting to see Acquia's work on ways to make the 'solution-packaging' work pay off for the companies that invest time and resources. We're all watching eagerly, and it's great to see you collaborating with companies that have already been wrestling with the problems.
Agree that distributions can be a game changer and it is great that Acquia is helping lead the way both in terms of completing the offering with support, etc as well as in terms of providing thought guidance with posts as this one.
Currently we have lots of Big distros from the bigger Drupal companies. What I think would be particularly interesting would be to have lots of small distributions that target niche markets with very specifc needs (e.g. we are looking at the Italian real estate market) - that would get us closer to the kind of widespread ecosystem that Joomla has but hopefully with a distinctive Drupal feel about it. It would be great if a company like Acquia could provide solutions that would alllow smaller shops to plug in to pro-grade services easily and grow as their customer base grows.
I am thinking along the lines of a pay as you go support/hosting service that would lie between the basic and pro level of the acquia pricing scheme. Basically a turnkey solution that says "you worry about building and marketing your distro and we will worry about hosting, pro support, etc".
Sadly at the current time I don't think any of the mentioned distributions could be hosted on Drupal.org due to issues with bundled code not hosted on Drupal.org as well as the inclusion of patched core or patched modules. We've come a long way, but aren't done yet with the features necessary to see the distributions community flourish on Drupal.org. In all fairness some of the products mentioned are large enough that having a separate site and ecosystem around them may have helped there success in some ways.
One other open source project that I've been watching for years (since Drupal 5 was in beta) was the Eclipse community since they actual do have lots of ways that you can download and use the software. The best examples are the distributions listed on the EasyEclipse website. They also offer an option to download plugins to enable any previous download to have the features of another distribution.
Forbes.com interview refers to Drupal and Acquia regarding multitenancy and scalability:
"There are companies like Acquia that have created multi-tenant versions of Drupal for their commercial hosting service, but that was done by the founders of the project. I don't know if they have made the multi-tenant part of it open source."
Also posted in the discussion group here:
Not to toot our own horn, but ThinkShout just completed its first significant milestone for paid training and services around Watershed Now, a highly-targeted distribution for conservation organizations.
Watershed Now is obviously free and open source. But in addition to offering customizations and installations of the distro, we've partnered with a communications strategy company to do 2-3 day "web sprints" or bootcamps with 12-15 environmental organizations, to help them relaunch their websites on our platform. While these sprints provide technical training on the various features of the distro, they are focused on leveraging the tool for fundraising, grassroots organizing, etc.
As a web developer who's spent the last 5 years building incredibly powerful websites for nonprofits that may or may not actually get used effectively, I'm much more interested in my clients paying for communications strategy and training than all the whistles and bells that I might be able to add to their sites. Over the long haul, my company benefits more from polished, well-messaged websites in our portfolio than overly-sophisticated sites with a bunch of tools that aren't used effectively.
So far, this service model is really working for us. We just graduated our first group of sprinters last week in DC. We've been creatively partnering with foundations both to help us develop free training materials around the distro - as well as to provide scholarships for organizations to participate in the sprints.
The key to our success ultimately comes down to one thing: As a team, we know the "vertical" (environmental nonprofits) that our distro serves really, really well. Our distro is highly "opinionated". The tools/features it contains were selected based upon many years of collective experience building sites for this constituency. In fact, the development costs for the distro were almost entirely paid for through work with individual clients.
To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical about the business model around distros that are meant to solve a technical or online publishing problem across industry verticals. While these distros are great starting points for custom projects and may significantly reduce overall development costs for one-off projects, in-and-of-themselves I don't think that they are necessarily all that marketable. Most consumers, for example, are probably not too inclined to research the differences between Pressflow and stock Drupal core. (Don't get me wrong, Pressflow is an incredible product - I just don't know if it sells itself.)
We're in the middle of a very interesting period as Drupallers at the moment in which clients are in fact clamoring for Drupal. But I don't know how long that's going to last. And ultimately, as service providers, or product providers, we sell our expertise in solving the specific problems of specific clients. I'm most excited about developing distros that ride that line between being highly-reusable and yet strongly-targeted. You can have the coolest distro in the world but if it's mission/purpose doesn't resonate with your target audience/clients, they aren't inclined to buy it.
Sean Larkin
I think the biggest problem isn't that companies don't see the worth in it. I mean, it basically is what managers call "leverage".
The biggest problem is, as the Forbes quote before also shows, documentation. The only actual documentation on how to make an installation profile (I assume that's a distribution...), is in Pro Drupal Development Second Edition. The only documentation about it on drupal.org, is for Drupal 5.
Drupal 7 has been released, and there still isn't any on-site documnetation about it for Drupal 6, let alone for Drupal 7.
So if people can't figure out how it works, there's a very small chance they'll do so (very small instead of none, because there might be an individual or two who check the code of other distributions and figure it out from there)
Another reason for this problem, which is actually related to the lack of documentation, is that it's not clear that it's possible to make it yourself (again, as the Forbes quote shows). If you go to the documentation part of Drupal, you get stuff like "Understanding Drupal", "Installation guide", "Administration guide", ... There's no mention of installation profiles there.
Now you can say: "But modules aren't mentioned there either". Well, they are. They're not mentioned as a subsection, but are mentioned in the descriptions. They're also all over the entire site, really.
Installation profiles aren't. You can only get them from the "Download & Extend" page, and even there, it's kinda messed up. Not in a big way, but still in a way.
In the blocks there, it's right next to Core, which is fine. In the tabs above, it's pushed to the very last tab, even after "Translations". It's, however, an "or Core or installation profile" choice.
So in short, if it were more obvious that it's possible to create (so not kinda hidden away and only visible to those that actually know where to look) and if some up-to-date technical documentation would exist, it would already help installation profiles big time. I think that, seeing how Drupal's community works, the documentation'll follow soon enough if enough people know they can actually have this option.
It's not the concept that's the problem, but people not knowing it exists.
Nice to be registered on bmannconsulting.com. My little name is maxizhu ;-)
I have to agree with Ronald and Jeff (and Dries) here - if the high level goal is ultimately to expand Drupal's usefulness and widespread adoption then two core areas to address with distributions are:
1) meeting the real needs of vertical markets/niches with useful and usable distributions. The challenge here is to balance reuse versus specific functionality - OpenAtrium is generic enough to be of wise use but solves specific needs whereas a distro like OpenScholar is more targetted.
2) supporting the full project life-cycle required for (1) - from ease of installation right through to maintenance and scalability. I would see companies like Acquia working hand in hand with smaller Drupal shops to meet the demands at both ends.
We're currently working on a range of online communities social platform development on Drupal and a distribution (like Drupal Commons but perhaps more targetted) or series of distributions would be an ideal outcome for us

For all the goodwill and love, to our pals.. Thank you for the gifts on our pack's behalf and in support of DOGster on a special anniFURsary for them.
They do good work. We wish we had more time to partake in the fun and festivities.
Once again, we thank Dogster and our pals for including Angel Mica, Mirra and the Purple Girls of Oregon, in this. Many of you are very special to us.
With LOVE,
The M's
Mirra just had her annual. We feel very fortunate, and are so blessed she passed with flying colors..
We'd like to recommend a few things..
Don't forget to brush your furry kids teeth on a daily basis. It's just so good for them and helps them be as well as they can be.
Then, there is this subject..
Yes they do wonders, but there are limits.. Mirra Has not been vaccinated now since 2009..we have her blood tested for immunity. It is known as TITERS.
Her Titers show full immunity..
We don't get why some vets push our pals to be revaccinated.. Ad nauseum..
It may be cheap to get the shots, but the costs to your loved ones health could be more than the dollars and cents saved.
Look into titers kids. Mirra's show sound immunity at close to five years..
At least do some reading on the subject, please.
We wish our pals every blessing and good health and a loving home..
We still do the work of our Angel, Mica the wonderpup, doing battle with IMHA, as are many dogs, cats and people. We so desperately need a cure.
Help us help others when you can.
To all of my pals, my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.. Whether they be dog, cat or human.. And especially ALL of the wonderful and LOVING ANGELS that watch over me.. Thank you FUR remembering me on my birthday.
It meant a great deal to me and of course mom. My good friend Chester even came by to spend some time with me. He is an 18 yr old cat who thinks he is a dog. We had a blast playing my favorite games ( we had a windy afternoon of Frisbee, which mom says makes me run extra fast), and the few sprinkles we received assured me of good luck! It is good luck when it rains on your birthday! We just came in from our third round of merriment. We don't know why, but I am simply mad about brand new gallon plastic jugs. Especially at night outdoors. Maybe it is genetic. Both mom and I are gonna sleep like logs!
I was sung to, in English and Italian, by two different loved ones, and received many nice surprises. By executive order there was no brushing today! They do NOT call me Rebel Force for nothing! My dad called.. He had to travel today ;(
I know he will deFURnitely make it up to me.
And so did McKenna. I am pooped and soon it will be bedtime. My beauty sleep is important, even tho I am still quite the spring chicken. I just wanted to say thanks to all the ones I love for making me feel special today. With EXTRA special thanks to Mica and ALL of the Angels who are the best.
Give all of my pals a big kiss & hug and tell them how much they mean to you (and me)!
We eat that stuff up!
Mirra, now six years young

I'm Curious if Brittany Will Even Need a Baby Shower
And the gifts keep on coming.
Brittany has started thinking about when she would want to have her baby shower, but the way things are going… I'm not sure she'll need one. Last weekend Brittany and I went to my mom's house and came home with the "pack and play" pictured above. We went down for marriage counseling, to bring my mom her birthday present (a new recliner) and to have some fun with the family.
As you see here, we had a lot of fun and didn't expect anything but a goodbye hug and a "see ya later"… instead, we received the pack and play on the way out from "the kids" (my nieces and nephew), at least that's the way their MOM put it. An excited aunt-to-be, first time grandparents and one grandma, who has three grand kids already (but is excited again, cause this is the first grandchild I helped in making for her)… we're surrounded by excited people who want to make sure we're ready to go by the time this kid is born.
Brittany and I appreciate and are thankful for all they have done already, but we may have to tell them, "just hang on to the gifts for now, wait for the shower", just so Brittany can actually have a shower.
