For more than 40 years, Title X family planning clinics have played a critical role in ensuring access to a broad range of family planning and related preventive health services for millions of low-income or uninsured individuals and others.
The Title X Family Planning program ["Population Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs" (Public Law 91-572)], was enacted in 1970 as Title X of the Public Health Service Act. Title X is the only Federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. The Title X program is designed to provide access to contraceptive services, supplies and information to all who want and need them. By law, priority is given to persons from low-income families.
The Title X Family Planning program is administered within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) In 2011, approximately 90 Title X grantees provided family planning services to five million women and men through a network of 4,400 community-based clinics that include state and local health departments, tribal organizations, hospitals, university health centers, independent clinics, community health centers, faith-based organizations, and other public and private nonprofit agencies. In approximately 72% of U.S. counties, there is at least one clinic that receives Title X funds and provides services as required under the Title X statute. Learn more about family planning clients and services here.
For more than 40 years, Title X Family Planning clinics have played a critical role in ensuring access to a broad range of family planning and related preventive health services for millions of low-income or uninsured individuals. In addition to contraceptive services and related counseling, Title X-supported clinics provide a number of related preventive health services such as: patient education and counseling; breast and pelvic examinations; breast and cervical cancer screening according to nationally recognized standards of care; sexually transmitted disease (STD) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention education, counseling, testing and referral; and pregnancy diagnosis and counseling. By law, Title X funds may not be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning.
The Title X program also supports three key functions, authorized under the Title X statute aimed at improving the quality of family planning services and assisting clinics with responding to client needs. These functions include:
These functions help to ensure that family planning services are evidence-based and of high quality.
The Title X family planning program is intended to assist individuals in determining the number and spacing of their children. This promotes positive birth outcomes and healthy families. The education, counseling, and medical services available in Title X-funded clinic settings assist in achieving these goals.

It can be disappointing to miss your favorite program, so it's a good idea to check your settings and understand some of the most common problems. Here are some things that can go wrong when you're trying to record TV programs in Windows Media Center:
You always need to have an available TV tuner on your PC for each scheduled recording. If you have more scheduled recordings than available TV tuners, one or more of your shows won't get recorded.
If this happens, Media Center will let you know that there's a conflict and help you to resolve it. If you're not at your PC, Media Center will try to resolve the conflict by looking for alternate dates and times and adjusting the schedule.
If this isn't possible, Media Center will select which show to record, based on the following checks (in this order):
Is it a one-time recording or part of a series?
What's the priority ranking for the series?
Which show was scheduled first?
You'll want to keep your priority settings of the series up-to-date, because Media Center uses these settings to determine what to record when there's a conflict between two episodes from different series. To check your program's priority settings:
On the Windows Media Center start screen, open TV.
Tap or click Recorded TV, tap or click View scheduled, tap or click Series, and then choose Change Priorities.
Use the Up and Down arrows to move a scheduled series up or down in the priority list of the series.
Tap or click Done.
Note: When you schedule a new series, it's automatically added to the bottom of the list with the lowest priority, so you might want to move it up in the priority list if it's important to you.
If you have frequent recording conflicts, consider adding an additional TV tuner to your PC so you can record two TV programs on different channels at the same time.
You need to have enough space on your PC's hard drive to store your recorded programs. If there isn't enough space, you won't be able to record everything you want.
To create more space:
Try deleting some previously recorded shows.
If you have multiple hard drives, you can change the drive that Media Center uses to save your recorded TV shows when one gets full.
Increase the limit for recorded TV. To do this:
On the Windows Media Center start screen, open Tasks, tap or click Settings, tap or click TV, tap or click Recorder, and then tap or click Recorder Storage.
Do one of the following:
Under Maximum TV limit, tap or click the plus (+) or minus (-) button to increase or decrease the limit for recorded TV on the drive.
Under Record on drive, tap or click the plus (+) or minus (-) button to choose a new drive for Media Center to save recorded TV shows.
Tap or click Save.
Media Center can monitor multiple drives for recorded TV shows, but it can only save recorded TV shows to the drive specified in Recorder Storage.
HDTV shows take up much more space than standard-definition recordings and will fill up your drive faster.
If you're not getting a TV signal in Media Center, first make sure that the cable for your TV signal is properly connected to your TV tuner. If everything is connected properly, but you still can't get a signal, it might be because of one of the following:
The TV signal from your service provider isn't working correctly. You can contact your TV service provider, but you'll likely need to cancel or reschedule the recording until the signal is working again.
Your TV tuner isn't working correctly. Make sure that you have the most up-to-date driver for your TV tuner installed on your PC.
There are problems with Media Center. If Media Center can't find a TV signal to record but everything else is working properly, try restarting your PC.
Media Center can record a show when your PC is in sleep or hibernate mode, but it won't record anything if your PC is turned off during the time of a scheduled recording.
If you're recording a TV show on a laptop, the show won't be recorded if the battery power runs out.
You might get an error when Media Center changes the channel to record a show, or Media Center might not record the right channel. Problems are more common if your TV signal comes through a set-top box. A channel-changing error on a set-top box could occur for the following reasons:
The IR (infrared) control cable on your set-top box is positioned incorrectly, so Media Center can't send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.
The channel-changing speed of the set-top box is too fast or too slow, which can cause the set-top box to get the signal for only two out of three channel numbers transmitted by Media Center.
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, tap or click Settings, tap or click TV, tap or click Set Up TV Signal, and then follow the instructions.
Media Center tries to change to a channel that's not part of your TV service package. If you're using a set-top box, it can get out of sync with Media Center, so that Media Center records the wrong channel. You can hide unwanted channels in Media Center to prevent Media Center from trying to record channels that you don't receive. You can also show hidden channels that you receive so that Media Center can access them.
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, tap or click Settings, tap or click TV, tap or click Guide, and then tap or click Edit Channels.
Scroll through the list and locate the channels that you want to show or hide.
Select the check box next to each channel to change its setting, and then tap or click Save.
When a check box is selected, the channel appears in the Guide; when a check box is cleared, the channel doesn't appear.
If you're using a set-top box and you get an on-screen message, you'll need to use your set-top box remote control to take action before you can change channels in Media Center.
The Guide is out of date. Media Center automatically updates the Guide, but you can also download the latest Guide info manually.
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, tap or click Settings, tap or click TV, tap or click Guide, tap or click Get Latest Guide Listings, and then tap or click OK.
You'll be notified when the Guide listings are up to date.
There are restrictions for a specific show. If a broadcaster sets restrictions that prohibit a show from being recorded, Media Center can't record the show.
You've reached the limit for how many shows in a series are kept. By default, Media Center will keep as many shows as possible for a TV series that's being recorded. However, if shows from a specific series are failing to record, try checking your settings for this series.
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to TV, tap or click Recorded TV, tap or click View scheduled, and then tap or click Series.
Tap or click the name of the series, and then tap or click Series settings to view and adjust the settings for a specific series.
If you're still not sure why a show didn't get recorded, you can check the recording history.
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to TV, tap or click Recorded TV, tap or click View scheduled, and then tap or click History.
Tap or click Sort By Date, Sort By Status, or Sort By Title to organize the list.
The status for each show is listed next to the title.
Tap or click the title of the show for more details on the recording status.
You need an analog or digital TV tuner to play and record live TV in Windows Media Center. A TV tuner is a hardware device that lets you connect a TV signal to your PC. If your PC didn't come with a TV tuner, you might be able to add one.

Tristan Thompson continues breakout year with Cleveland Cavaliers
INDEPENDENCE — The transformation has been startling.
From the moment Anderson Varejao's season ended on Dec. 18 against Toronto, Tristan Thompson became a new man.
In his first 26 games before Varejao's knee injury, Thompson averaged 8.3 points and 7.6 rebounds and was shooting 46.6 percent from the field.
In the subsequent 25 games, the 6-foot-9, 227-pounder is averaging 14.6 points and 10.6 rebounds and shooting 53.4 percent from the field.
Thompson, 21, has 18 double-doubles on the season, including 13 in his last 25 games.
From watching video of the Cavs for their recent game against Charlotte, Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap could see the influence of Cavs assistant coach Jamahl Mosley on Thompson.
"You can tell Mosley is working with him from watching tape," Dunlap said. "He's an explosive player from 15 (feet) and in."
Dunlap said he was an assistant coach with Mosley in Denver.
During a recent game against Oklahoma City, Thunder forward Kevin Durant revealed that Thompson was a focal point of their scouting report. That was a compliment to Thompson.
"It makes me hungrier," the Cavs forward said. "I have to add new things to my game. It's an honor." Continued...
Cavs coach Byron Scott said the game is slowing down for Thompson.
"I always go by when you got young guys, the pace of the game, the speed of the game," he said. "With Tristan, last year at this particular time, it was probably at 100 (mph). Now it's probably at 50. The game has slowed down so much for him. He understands exactly what's going on out there. And it will continue to slow down for him."
Scott has finally started running some plays for Thompson.
He's been able to score with his push shots in the lane, as well as jump hooks with either hand.
"I think he's realized he can still be very effective without us necessarily throwing him the ball 15-20 times a game," Scott said. "I've run about four or five plays a game for him. The other stuff he's just kind of getting on his own."
The Cavs (16-35) almost want him to forget he was the No. 4 pick in the 2011 draft.
"The biggest thing is just trying to take the attitude that the No. 4 pick is supposed to do certain things," Scott said. "I thought in his mind that meant he has to average 17, 18 or 20 points. That's not the reason we drafted him.
"I think he's starting to realize he can still average 12, 13, 14 points a game and nine or 10 rebounds a game without necessarily having plays run through him just because of his activity and athleticism."
Thompson is still a work in progress. The Cavs eventually would like him to be able to make a mid-range shot.
"His progress has been fantastic and his production has been great this year," Scott said. Continued...
"Now with the way he's playing, we'll try to get him some touches in the post. He'll get some touches if he runs the floor.
"I'm just proud of him. He didn't start listening to what everybody was saying. He stuck to doing the things we felt he needed to do. Now he's starting to see the progress he's making."
Scott is happy Thompson has become a hub in the offense instead of a hole. A hub facilitates the offense and can pass the ball. A hole shoots it as soon as he touches the ball.
He has become very effective around the basket.
"He's really looking for guys," Scott said.
Thompson isn't trying to back down bigger players as much in the post.
He's catching the ball and going into his offensive move. He's not getting as many shots blocked, either.
"The one thing we're trying to tell him this year is even if you catch it on the post, go quick," Scott said. "Use your speed and athleticism. Don't try to bang with these guys. Even though we know you've been in the weight room and added some weight, if it's not that they're stronger, it's that they're 2 or 3 inches taller. So use your speed and athleticism."

"Burnham is crap"
Bought our house new in '93 and in 2000 had to replace our unit, cracked block. Fought with them and had to threaten them to work with me on replacement. Here it is 2010, another cracked block, same place. Will not be using this product ever again. Ten houses in neighborhood, all the same problems. Won't bother to even call them this time. Lesson learned.

"Burnham V8 series disgrace"
Our v8 series has a water leak and needs to be replaced. Purchased in 2002. Just read reviews. Burnham is a very poor quality product.

Satisfaction Rating:
"Burnham is horrible in every way!!!!!"
I am on my second Burnham furnace. The first (v7) rotted out. I, then purchased a v8. It has a crack and is leaking some water and balls of rust the size of golf balls. I am now forced into purchasing a third furnace (all in 18 years). I am buying a System 2000 and would never buy another Burnham. Any info on a class action suit would be welcome.

"Piece of crap Burnham"
I am like others. Not the original owner and I am waiting with not much hope after reading this that the company will stand by their product. I have also learned that there is a class action law suit against Burnham for this.

Satisfaction Rating:
"Money Pit"
Like all the rest, my boiler has leaks. This is the third time since initial installation. I have never made it through a heating season without a problem. Reading all these reviews, I'm not sure how Burnham stays in business. Boilers have been around for over a hundred years, so the tech should be down by now. That only means that Burnham sells an extremely low quality product. Time for a change!

Satisfaction Rating:
"V-8 Boiler Cracked"
We has a V-8 Burnham furnace put in 8 years ago. Christmas Eve of 2009, we noticed it was leaking water. Our oil company repairman has told us the boiler block is cracked. Burnham has agreed to replace it with a new V910 because it was under the 10 year warranty but will not kick in anything to help with labor because we have a cracked V-8 instead of their admittedly defective V-7. Anybody know anything about a 910? I can't find anything online about this boiler and worry this might crack too.
Years owned: 13
Satisfaction Rating:
I installed a Burnham furnace in 1996 and thought it was a good furnace. It developed a leak 3 years later in 1999. Block was replaced, not the end though, of this furnace In 2009, the block is leaking again. I would not recommend this brand to anyone.

We installed an oil fired burnham steam boiler in our place of business and have reduced our oil consumption by about 15% in each of the prior 2 winters. The system works well no problems today!
Location: New England
Years owned: 8
Satisfaction Rating:
Our current defunct Burnham system replaced a fairly new Burnham system with a crack. We received a new Burnham system but paid the labor which was a few thousand dollars. This replacement system just burnt out after 8 years. We understand it can take up to 2 weeks for Burnham to review the record and decide what we would get from them - we have no heat or hot water in New England at Thanksgiving. No more Burnhams and I'll be sure to pass the word.

"Another Not-So-Happy Burnham Customer"
9 Years old and Water leaking out of it. I'm told that it is common for Burnham v7 Series furnaces. So, do I repair it? My oil burner guys tell me to get as far away from Burnham as possible. I'll be ~$5000 in the hole, minus the $1500 it would have cost me to repair the other one. So, the additional $3500 may be worth it as long as no one ever uses the name Burnham in my house again. Iassume te hwonderful line of furnaces should put them out of business so anyway.

This week saw a tornado rip through central Oklahoma, killing at least 24 and injuring over 300. As the people of the Sooner State start to rebuild, we take a look at the natural disasters that are hitting us more frequently than in the past.
The annual number of billion-dollar disasters in the United States – earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes and more – has tripled since the 1980s, from two to about six per year. And 2011 was a barn-burner, with 14 separate $1 billion-plus weather events. That's like buying 4,500 new homes at the median price for every major hurricane, tornado outburst, flood and drought. Losses from U.S. natural disasters in 2011 topped $60 billion. The trend continued into 2012, with Hurricane Sandy flooding signifigant portions of the east coast. Preliminary data from the National Climatic Data Center shows a total of 11 disasters topping $1 billion last year, with an even higher level of monetary losses than 2011.
We've got an animated infographic for you that maps some of the trouble. Be sure to click around and see everything. And as you probably know, the debate over causes and culprits is as fierce as the climate itself. Dig into "What Do Others Say?" for a cross-section of ideas, then join the discussion below. What do you think accounts for this trend?

A couple of nights away that we really enjoyed. This is a very small BB with 9 rooms a fantastic bar area and a nice sized room to eat breakfast and tea... in. The staff there, Claire and Anthony especially were fantastic. So nice and friendly and would do anything you asked of them. We stayed in room 1 which is a lovely size and gorgeous views, so quiet. Not sure what the other rooms were like.If you want a nice quiet BB in the lakes then I would certainly recommend it. 5-10 mins drive to Keswick just ideal. As there has to be a negative in all reviews I would say it was the cost of the drinks and food. They do offer a small discount but I think they make up for that with the original price. The price is not comparable to prices in town, with it being much more expensive. ALthough saying that we did have a meal at the BB both nights and was really nice and did not mind too much paying the price as we could relax in the bar area afterwards. You won t be disappointed if you end up going. Thank You to all the staff there for making our weekend really nice Comentado por um cliente do Hoteis.com em 23 Nov 2012

After seven hours of meetings between NHL officials, NHL Players' Association representatives and general managers in Toronto on Wednesday, one thing was evident: Everyone agrees to the idea of grandfathering in the right to play without a visor.
Seventy-three percent of current players wear visors. A reported 30 percent voted in favor of mandatory visors only four years ago.
According to Colin Campbell, the NHL's director of hockey operations, current players who do not wear visors won't be forced to add them, but for players entering the league, visors would be mandatory.
NHLPA executive Mathieu Schneider, who played 22 seasons without wearing a visor, said players would vote on the idea of grandfathering in visors prior to the competition committee's next meeting during the Stanley Cup final.
"I think by the sheer number of players you see wearing them, you're seeing a big change in visors," Schneider said. "Guys come into the league now having had to have worn a visor before."
In addition to visors, several recommendations stemming from Wednesday's meetings will be made at the competition committee meeting. Coaches reviews' and goalie equipment were also hot topics.
The NHL is looking to reduce the length of goaltender's pads from the knee to the pelvis. Currently a goalie's pads can cover 55 percent of that distance.
"We're talking inches off the top, the width stays the same," NHL goaltending supervisor Kay Whitmore said. "Right now if a pad comes in for a guy and I don't approve it, it just goes back to the factory, they pull the cover off and cut down the board off the top. It's not tough. It's just a matter of doing the due diligence."
The idea of coaches behind the bench having a flag to throw on to the ice in challenge of a call, similar to the NFL's system, is something that simply won't happen, according to Campbell.
Goalie interference and offside were discussed as possible situations the NHL's hockey-operations department would be able to review. Similarly, reviews could be made on miscalls regarding high sticks when a teammate's stick catches a player and a penalty is assessed.

Great piece of art, Steve. Thanks for shedding some light on how to make money from it. I've been struggling on the money side, at least when it comes from my art. To be honest, I haven't been earning anything from my writing or my stand-up comedy...why? Because I haven't really been committed. This is a wake up call for me, or just a friendly reminder. I've been getting a lot of reminders lately about what it is I feel I should be doing with my life, but for some reason, I'm finding it hard to commit to anything. The only thing I've committed to whatsoever is my job, working night shift. I find myself entertaining the people I work with on a regular basis, but it's not getting me paid for it. I have an opportunity coming up in December to perform onstage for as long as I want. I just have to start seizing the moments I have. It's just very hard work and it isn't always easy, and I just have to accept that and keep going. I haven't performed much in over a year and it's just that maybe I'm using my disabilities as an excuse and that if I really wanted it, I would overcome all of this. I'm going to make a solid commitment right now to really try my best to make some kind of income from what I'm doing creatively, if not just for myself, because working nights is starting to get rough. |

Heard a story about Salvidor Dali and money. Apparently when he wrote checks he would scribble a drawing on them and now there are hundreds of unpresented checks because people kept them thinking they would be worth more later. Mind you he was already famous. |

Really great article, Steve. One of your best in a long time, I'd say. Maybe that's because it resonates so strongly with what I'm doing. I launched WisdomWebsite.com just two months ago, though I've been working on it for some months longer, and despite many years starting and running several small computer businesses, this artistic endeavor is a new experience. For the first time in my life, I'm creating something for which I cannot be sure I will have customers. Now I know what it feels like to be an artist. I'm truly following my bliss and, I believe, providing strong value for my readers that will translate into customers longer term but the process of putting your heart into an unknown is exciting and terrifying at the same time. I wrote about that here: Is This Hell? The Danger Of Following Your Bliss It is little wonder that so many people fail to up their game to succeed. So much easier to allow someone else to make the decisions for you, to pass responsibility to a "higher power" in the form of a boss, religion, societal "norms," or ignorance. Thank you, Steve, for doing what you do. You're an inspiration and while you may not yet count me as a customer, you certainly can count me as a fan (since 2007). |

I know I can make some sort of income selling the blooming vulva birds, and already have 3 people who have ordered one, so I just need to get going with that. Making painting a daily habit, and drawing as well as card readings, I think I can get this off the ground...I just have not been the best at committing to it. That needs to change. | |

Firstly, no...my avatar is not my own work...I wish! Mine is mainly on canvas. You can actually see a few I put up in the "Your Art" thread in Fun and recreation if you like... Thankyou for the suggestion. What I have planned with the blooming vulva birds is more for a shop when they are ready...and just word of mouth with friends and at parties etc. I do also have some collages that I want to print onto t-shirts and sell through etsy, so that's one or two things I have in mind. I'll show you one design that I intend to make into a t-shirt now if you like...I will put it up as my avatar. | |

From a fiction writer's point of view, it seems he is saying to be Stephen King over a Herman Melville. I'm not sure I agree. Melville made little money and died thinking he was a failure. Years later, his work Moby Dick was widely received as a great work of literary art. He was literally a starving artist. King, on the other hand, is a great writer who knows his market and knows how to craft the kinds of page-turners that people are addicted to. It's true that taking the King path will get you money, but what if you care more about your contribution to society? What if that true gem just waiting inside you that you have to write turns out to be initially hated by the rest of the world? What if you just write organically instead of trying to find a target audience all the time? What comes of the story then? Of course, realistically you don't want to cut off your own legs. A starving artist can't generate much art, but given the stupidity of our society right now, I wouldn't put it past them to "not get" most intelligent writing in the world. Twilight may have sold a crapload of copies, but that to me isn't a measure of how skilled or artistic the writer is. It's a measure of how well she knows her target audience. Sometimes the public needs to see controversial material. Sometimes the public needs to be exposed to things they don't like or don't want to hear, and to ignore that because you want to make more money off your art is in my opinion irresponsible. Perhaps a better option is to just have a day job or alternate source of income, that way you won't feel the pressure to taint your work just to satisfy people who don't necessarily understand what you are trying to do or who aren't necessarily in your corner. |

I was considering writing tacky romance novels for Mills and boone under a pseudonym as a side to fund my projects. But yeah...a day job is fine for a while. I can't stay in the same crap job too long though. Gotta make sure it's bearable..likeable even. |

Inspiring article... I've recently started taking my art more seriously, but haven't really been focused on making money from it. I find that when I do put pressure on myself to make money from it, my creativity dries up. Right now I'm just focused on getting into the mode where I create something every day, and also just getting some more exposure. But to make a living from my art... What a dream life that'd be! |

Also Herman Melville, at 27, saw his first published book become an instant bestseller (Typee). Too young? He was famous and maybe later made some bad decisions. And of course they was no Pavlina around to help him. PS : I guess you read King's biography too. | |

I don't have an image of the birds in the fun section art thread, and I wasn't allowed to put it up as my avatar last time. I guess it's legal to put it up in the Art thread though, so it's there now if you wanna lookie. Last edited by elucidate; 11-01-2011 at 01:26 AM. | |

I think there is a difference between selling out, say to write pulp fiction that you don't love, and finding a market. As writers don't we have different voices we can apply? Don't we have more than one book idea in our mind? Can't we write in a style accessible to an audience? Of course. The other thing Steve was saying is that we need to hone our craft. Whatever our art, we need skill within our craft. If you want to succeed (have others value your work), you need to provide something of value. That doesn't mean pandering but it does mean high quality work. You have to put in the hours to develop the skill. The greater the skill, the greater the potential success. One of those skills should be some marketing sense. If your only focus is on the art and you want others to value your work, then you aren't doing your best if you don't become more well-rounded and grow in both the depth of your art and the breadth of your abilities. Look at Steve. Here's a guy who is constantly pushing his boundaries further out. Now it's music, before it was his sexuality. Before he started his blog, he had already worked to develop his business, computer, social networking, and writing abilities. Without all of these, say only good writing, we wouldn't be here now posting on this forum. Herman Melville, presumably, was not the best he could be. Had he invested some time to learn the social and marketing skills he needed to succeed, he probably would have done so without having to rely on someone else 'discovering' his writing and marketing it after his death. The same could be said for van Gogh. Great artist, lousy businessman. Like the Army ad slogan says, "Be all you can be." Keep in mind that there is no such thing as "good enough" rather successful living comes from a constant expansion of being all you can be. Each day you are more than you were the day before. Yesterday you were all you could be then. What will you choose to be tomorrow? That is the question that you must ask. | |

This post really 'came to me' at a time when I was feeling very down, confused and rather frustrated about the prospects of ever being able to live from my writing. But you cleared up a lot of things for me and connected the last dots I needed to connect to understand what I was doing wrong. I have real faith that I will make progress now, and that is, as always, the real value of being privileged to benefit from the perspective and guidance from someone who has 'walked the path'. Yeah, I know you probably get a zillion thank you's like this every week or so, and that you don't really hang around in the forums anymore. But if this message can add a little bit to your already excellent karma, to write this, then I wish it so! Oh, and the next time you publish a product - like your awesome book, which I bought - and which can be enjoyed from a distance (i.e. if one lives outside the US) --- then I'll be the first in line to shop! Don't want to be just a fan, y'know. Last edited by Starbuck; 11-03-2011 at 02:50 PM. Reason: formattin', clarifyin' x 2 | |

As a musician who has been following you for several years, I was really happy to see this article. Currently trying to figure out my own path to financial success as a musician. I seem to be getting better at it (I paid last month's rent with money earned from playing music, the second time I've been able to do that in a year), but I've still got a way to go before it's my primary source of income. So thanks for this article - i'm really enjoying reading about your 30 day music trial as well!

I am an artist, and I have to say I just fell into my art, and to be honest I haven't had to work that hard at it all. I definitely haven't invested 10,000 hours and my art work is getting more exposure everyday without much effort and yes I make money from my art. I think I have the potential to be quite successful actually. I get lots of request for people to represent me. People think I have had years of training, but I haven't. In fact, I started my art purely as an experiment, for something else. I wasn't actually setting out to be an "artist", at all. If you would of told me I would be now illustrating a few years ago I would of said "no way". My art found me. The only thing that got me here, was trying lots of things art, music, design, fashion, stock market, domain buying etc, experimenting and failing, not specifically setting out to be "one particular thing" (although at the time I thought I wanted to be that one particular thing). It was because I tried lots of things (and failed at most), that a path began to unravel. What happens, when you eradicate all the things that you tried and failed in, you can tick them off your list, and then don't go down that same path again. Eventually that path becomes shorter and more clearer. So personally for me (or for personality types like me) you need to try a variety of things, and don't put pressure on yourself to be one this or that, eventually you will 'hit' the right note. When the right note hits, it should be pretty easy actually. Or it could be that I am one of those luckily one that has natural talent...and finally found it Last edited by ellie; 11-28-2011 at 09:59 AM. |

Our webhost, GoDaddy, decided to change the rules on us and has deleted the entire Biblioblog Reference Library database.
Beforehand we had enough space to keep the database working and pruned down to a size that was feasible, but in the course of the last few months, they decided to halve the allowable database size which made it impossible to house all of the data and indices. What's worse is that after requests for a full backup of the database were made, they refused to provide anything but a corrupted partial backup. We tried very hard to make the chunked backups necessary to put the entire database into a format that we could move, but in the midst of it (moving millions of records only tens of thousands at a time) they pulled the plug.
It means that we need to re-imagine the library and figure out where to go from here. The most requested feature was the blog hit counter, which we are going to work and restore as quickly as possible. The actual archive (which grew to a grand total of 15 gigabytes of archived posts, index, and blog reading trend data) cannot be resurrected.
So, stay tuned. We'll be back.
May 17: UPDATE 2
Excellent news! The blog feed scripts are so far running strong. You can check out preliminary progress here at on the Quicklist where the last 24 hours of Biblioblogging activity is listed. The Blogs List needs some pruning and I know that plenty of new blogs have started up since the Library went down, but I'll be getting to those in short order.
May 17:
Good news! The next version of the Archivist software is nearly ready for prime time. Once that's up, the new Biblioblog Reference Library portal will be soon to follow.
April 1:
No, no April Fool's joke. :-) Today I am picking through the pieces of the old database fragmentary backups to try and get together a new database schema for the next step in restoring the Library. Work is slow due to my other obligations (family, work, grants, and other hobbies) but I'm hoping to get something basic working by the end of this week. Keep your fingers crossed for me. - Steve
April 1 #2:
I now have a schema developed and I'll be uploading it to the server to test it out. This will require some modifications to the old Archivist and Hit Counter scripts (mostly some trimming) but if those modifications are successful, I can start harvesting hit and post data to tinker with. -Steve
April 1 #3:
A preliminary Archivist script is now ready for testing. If this works, I can begin rebuilding the database. -Steve
April 2:
Well, after being on the phone for 45 minutes, it turns out that one of the reasons why the server was so God-awful slow is that it's still running on a legacy system. I've been told that I need to get rid of some old MySQL 4.1 databases (I didn't even know I still had a few lying around) and they can upgrade the server account to their "new" Grid system. -Steve
April 2 #2:
All MySQL 4.1 databases are toast, and I'm now on the phone again waiting for the upgrade. -Steve
April 2 #3:
I'm now waiting for the first server migration. This part of it could take up to 24 hours before I can continue. From there, the upgrade to the "Grid" will take another 24-72 hours, and from there we can start things cooking. :-) -Steve
April 3:
The first step of the migration is complete; the second step is on its way. -Steve

Chefs & Ocean Health
Chefs are the gatekeepers of the seafood industry. They command a unique influence over the purchase, trade and consumption of seafood.
Currently, an alarming number of the world's fish species face an uncertain future due to overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction and other factors. We developed information to equip culinary students and chefs with the tools they need to understand these issues and source seafood responsibly.
By shifting toward more ocean-friendly seafood sourcing, chefs can improve the health of the ocean.
Follow these 5 easy steps to support ocean-health in your kitchens:
- Get started — see Green Chefs/Blue Ocean
- Assess your menu
- Make the switch — see Ocean Friendly Kitchen Choices
- Stay in the know
- Spread the word

Do you always use Retayne when prewashing batiks? I just read on SewBatiks.com that they have had excellent results prewashing in warm (not hot) water. I always have some fear that washing in HOT water will cause some degree of fading. "We are all here.....because we are not all there." | |||
i have never used Retayne, i have only soaked in the kitchen sink with warm water..with like colors,of the batiks. i suppose i could put a color catcher in the water with them..but haven't done that yet.. | ||||
I just do cool water and color catcher... no problems here PLEASE HELP SUPPORT MY WALK ... on my RELAY FOR LIFE PAGE Bring on the New Year ... it's MY YEAR for sewing! | ||||
I use Retayne on the fabrics that I hand dye, but not on purchased batiks. The commercial batiks, like Hoffman 1895 batiks, get numerous rinses before going on the bolt. | ||||
This is interesting! I do use Retayne. Lots (not all) of the batiks that I prewash do run (some 1895's included)--but I use hot water! When I switch to cold water rinsing, they mostly stop running. Maybe I should just try the warm to cold water washing and see what happens as I would never wash a quilt in hot water any way! Recently, I did read that Retayne does NOT work unless the water is heated to 140 degrees (so if you use warm water only the retayne doesn't do anything any way). Also it was mentioned about not using it in front loading washers. My past practice was to soak in hot water in retayne then a few cold water rinses in the washer. Maybe I will experiment by not using the retayne and just using warm/cold water! | ||||
I don't believe I've ever prewashed a batik. I do only wash in cool to warm water, and when in doubt throw in a color catcher (top loader),the color catchers come out nearly as white as when I put them in. Maybe I've just been lucky, but think I'll keep to this method. | ||||
I wash them the same as all my fabrics. A regular temp wash, not the hot or the cold, just the same as I wash my clothes in. Use Tide for front loaders. Throw in a couple, three of used dye catchers. Start out a dye catcher with my whites and then it goes to fabric washing. So I throw in whatever I have, usually two just to be sure... Chris | ||||
I wash everything before I actually use it but particularly batiks. Quality doesn't seem to impact whether they run or not - they almost all do. Just wash with my regular laundry with a color catcher....always turns out to be "a good thing" I don't use any fabric softener though whenever I have fabric in a load. And, I don't put them in the dryer - just air dry. | ||||
The indigo batik quilt I made would have been BIG trouble if I had not used the hot water and Retayne twice (turned the water a deep blue)...and then several rinses until the color catcher weren't catching anything. It was a gift so it had to be safe or I couldn't have given it away. I have a decent collection of other batiks but haven't used them yet. Summers are just this side of hell, but you don't have to shovel sunshine... Click on the left to show albums http://s76.photobucket.com/use...brary/?sort=3&page=1 | ||||
You know - you expect the dark colors to run, but I remember doing a BOM where they gave you small pieces and I would wash them by hand - the worst ones in that batch were the yellows. | ||||
I pre-wash all my fabrics, including batiks. I was everything in cold water, and use color catchers in any load with fabrics. I have used dark blues and they didn't run in cold water. | ||||
I wash all my fabric, except precuts. I use color catchers and wash in warm water with regular detergent. There's been times when both batiks and regular fabrics have bled considerably and you never know which one its going to be. So, I wash it all. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
I have never used Retayne or color catchers - I just wash all of my fabrics when I bring them home. I have not noticed any fading with my batiks - hummmmm makes me think about them and how we need to go batik shopping again. LOL Treat your body like you will live forever Treat your soul like you will die tomorrow | ||||

Use Two 110 Films on a 35mm Camera for Crazy Awesome Shots So there are a lot of tipsters and hacks on the web for using 35mm film on different format cameras, so I went and tried using 110 on a 35mm camera, and this is pretty much what I got on my first try.

The 30-second spot by Mayors Against Illegal Guns is narrated by children, with "America The Beautiful" playing in the background.
It calls on lawmakers to pass rules requiring background checks, and includes old footage of National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre saying the gun lobby group approves of the checks.
LaPierre recently told senators the NRA no longer supports background checks for all gun sales.

Examples include but are not limited to: a specific historical period (for example, the twentieth century); race, ethnicity, gender, or class in America; popular culture; the arts; Native American studies; regional studies; urban, rural, and natural environments; or, American institutions (such as education, sports, religion.).

Being able to close your eyes, use your imagination and let your mind create all the special effects is amazing.
How the shadow is able to outsmart everyone is amazing, but you know in the end he will live
"Danger lurks in a distant land"
Sparhawk and his friends are needed again but in a far away land to help with a dangerous threat that seems to be spreading into their part of the world
when asked to go help the Tamul Empire with the crisis Queen Ehlana comes up with a way to help.
This novel is a great addition to the Eddings first trilogy my only issues is that with a change of narrator some of the names are pronounced different. the main difference i noticed is Talen, the first trilogy is pronounced as a birds claw, this new guy pronounces it with a strong A.
City names and other characters have the same difference as well. but if you can get over that then you will enjoy this book
"the power of a gem"
The Goddess Aphrael has revealed herself and Sparhawk has the Bhelliom. with the quest almost over and the tool needed to restore his queen to health you might think that the story is almost done.
But the restoration of Queen Ehlana to full health is just the start. with Martel and Annias working together to put Annias on the throne of the church Sparhawk has a few loose ends to tie up.
what Sparhawk does not know is that the loose ends will end with one of his most dangerous and deadly quests.
hopeless sieges, love, political battles, and death of a beloved character will conclude this trilogy with a great adventure and a super surprising ending. a must listen and a instant love
"a cure is found"
Eddings with his wife have just left us off with the knowledge that the Bhelliom is the only way to cure the queen.
he continues the quest with his nine companions, and yet more of Azash's evil creatures are hunting.
David eddings has a great way to sum up the first book in his prolog without loosing the quality of the story. Greg abby does a great job of picking the right voice for each of the ten party members. well everyone except Flute.
A great continuation of a fantastic series
"The classic that shook the world"
I know i have a different review on a newer war of the worlds but this is the original. Orson welles is a brilliant man who knows how to put together a masterpeice
I listen to it at least once a week lying in bed just before i go to sleep and it never gets old. Based off a book, Orson Wells made a great science fiction novel become reality for the nation. something that as far as i know has yet to produce as much a nation wide reaction.
i highly recomend that everyone should listen to this peice of american classic entertainment, and remember the good ol day before "video killed the radio star" (buggles)
"a interesting tale without a sparkling twist"
i was actually recomended it to read and was impressed with the novel, i recomend that she should listen to it as well
"the queens champion has a mission"
on his return from exile, Sparhawk a Pandion Knight finds the newly appointed queen is deathly sick, the Preceptor of the order and his tutor of magic has joined with eleven others to entomb her in a case of magical diamond to preserve her life. the Primate Annias churchman of the city in blocking there every move to become the head of the whole church.
David Eddings strikes out with a new adventure, where magic can be learned by anyone but the race of Elene people so anti magic they get vicious, even its church does not believe in magic. but the four orders of the Knights of the Church has special permission to learn the magic of the Styrics.
to be able to change his magic to fit into this new world is amazing. it is so different from what he had before. I absolutely love the way he makes the quest important and with a set timeline.
feel free to start with this book the personalities are great and the Eddings do a great job of creating so many different cultures in a novel with each race having its quirks.
"still no CIA coverup"
Robert Ludlum has done a great job showing of the dangers of the CIA doing something so dangerous that miss information and manipulations of David Webb will lead to a mess.
when someone is pretending to be Jason bourne the real jason is tricked into hunting the old jason down. bring him in and find things out. but when the CIA is to scared to ask David for his help they kidnap his wife. bad move. so now David has to go to China and hunt down a man trained to kill just like bourne would pretend to kill.
but the CIA have things go wrong very fast and so disaster strikes all over.
"So much better then the movie"
to start off if you loved the movie for the illegal CIA actions, the dark government secrets and all his hand to hand skills. Then be disappointed
Very few things from the book are shared in the movie. instead of the CIA training a assassin to go and kill potential political threats they, well i wont really say that would be a big spoiler.
Jason does have amnesia and is trained in many different skills, including hand to hand and weapons training. he is also a master of disguise.
the only problem is that everywhere he is going some group is trying to kill him. but why? with the help of a Canadian economist named Marie (the movies got her profession wrong too, big surprise) they work together in finding out who Jason Borne is.
"two old enimies are now allies, will it work?"
The former nation of the USSR is now weak, struggling, and trying to survive the collapse of Communism, but they have luck, the struck gold, literally. with a huge gold mine and a oil well big enough to rival the middle east the new Russian nation has high hopes. but so does the PRC.
In the final novel of the Ryan universe Tom Clancy makes it worth it. old KGB enemies are working together with CIA men. the elite NATO team of Rainbow six goes to Russia to help train the Russian military in counter terrorism.
many of our old friends in his whole series come back to help out and we end with a few laughs, cries and we know the world is safe.
tom clancy tried to write a few years later with another novel but gave up before finishing the story.
"A book that inspired the video game series"
This is his first book Clancy wrote that does not have Jack Ryan even mentioned by name. if you fallow the series you know who he is, but if you don't and just want to start here, well there is a few hints that lets the rest of us know.
Knowing how scary but effective Clark and Chavez are then a whole book dedicated to this amazing team would make things even better.
Clark puts together a team of some of the greatest military units. they are training for two teams of counter terrorism. the cold war is over and there are not many terrorists active anymore but its always better to be safe then sorry.
A former KGB agent is hired to go to his old contacts and stir things up, unknown to him there is a new anti terrorist unit in town.
Some of the things that are different in this Clancy novel compared to most of his others is that its more even a read all the way through and not a snowball effect.
If you never have read a Clancy novel before this is a great one to start with, it has the excitement and adventure and is a great bait to the lure.

Part II of Raw Interview with Hailey Dunn Suspect Shawn Adkins
By: Tiffany Tatro
Updated: February 9, 2011
Shawn Adkins spoke exclusively to KTAB-TV, giving what he calls his version of the truth.
The series of questions and answers in the attached raw interviews have been edited from their original chronological order in order to condense them to specific topics.
In the first video, Adkins tells Tiffany Tatro that his interest in horror films and crime stories is just a hobby. The photos of him wearing a mask and wielding a knife were taken for Halloween, he said.
In the following video, Adkins says he is still hopeful that Hailey will be brought back. He discusses the difficulties with having been named a suspect in the case, saying he's tired of living behind closed doors.
"I have nothing to do with Hailey's disappearance," he said. "I love Hailey with all my heart and she means a lot to me, even though I've known her for only two and a half years I would never do anything to her."
Adkins also discussed his rocky relationship with Hailey's mom, Billie, including the day that a fight escalated to getting police involved. He said he never made any threats toward Hailey that day, as is stated in a police affidavit.
