Do You Live Your Life in Fear?
Friday, June 15, 2011
Yes, I understand that people are 'black boxes.' Unless and until you disclose to me explicitly who you are and what you're all about, any speculation on my part regarding you is ultimately of small value.
Still, in just this past week I've had conversations with two acquaintances that left me feeling both sad and grateful. Here, let me explain:
The Case of Acquaintance #1: Screw Unto Others
This particular individual appears to live his life under the operating assumption "I'll get you before you screw me." Sheesh. In the course of a single, rambling conversation this person told me, in excruciating detail, how he became an 'instant expert' in home sprinkler/timer systems so (in his words) "If the plumber tries to rip me off, I'll be one step ahead of him because I know everything he's doing."
Moreover, this otherwise nice man let me know that he and his wife invested thousands upon thousands of dollars in home security equipment. This guy can check the interior and exterior of his home from anywhere in the world, so long as he has a Web browser and an Internet connection available to him. "That way," my acquaintance said, "I can tell at a glance if anyone tries to approach our home."
The Case of Acquaintance #2: Pistol-Packin' Papa
The man in question told me a few days ago that he was recently approved for a handgun carry permit, and that he would be packing heat to work every day.
"But aren't there laws about civilians bringing firearms into office buildings?" I queried nervously.
"Yeah, I'll have to look into that, but I plan to carry anyway."
I balked. "Why in the world do you feel the need to carry lethal force to work with you each day? Are you afraid that a rogue stapler will leap out of the supply closet and accost you?"
"No, actually I'm worried about being out in the parking lot at night. I put in a lot of overtime, and I want to make sure that if I'm attacked, someone is going home in a body bag."
How miserable it must be to live one's life in never-ending fear of some unpleasant activity transpiring. Sure, I was a Scout when I was a boy. I'm familiar with the ol' BSA motto Be Prepared. Nevertheless, how much control over other people, places, events, etc., do I actually have in my life? Very little. There exists a distinct difference between prudence and paranoia.
Am I going to spend my precious time 'freaked and tweaked' about potential life-threatening attacks from unknown assailants, or the possibility that some individual or business might take advantage of me financially? Or, rather, am I gonna live and enjoy my life to the very best of my ability, one day at a time? I know what my choice is.
Mark Twain once said something profound regarding needless worry [citation]:
"I have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened."
I haven't read Stephen Covey in several years, but one of his concepts I've always enjoyed is his distinction between the abundance mentality and the scarcity mentality. Check this out:
Abundance means 'The property of a more than adequate quantity or supply' and to really take advantage of all that is available to you, you really do have to have a handle on this extremely important way of thinking.
The exact opposite to the abundance mentality is the scarcity mentality. Amongst other things this mentality breeds fear, jealousy, spite and selfishness leading to insecurity and lack of self worth due to your belief that opportunities are lacking and you have little choice or freedom in your life.
The cup, at least my cup, is more than half-full.

Chasing ButterfliesI believe in starry nights writing timeless songsof all the yesterdays and tomorrows yet to come.I believe in hearing the voice of love in rhyme;I heard it as a child in my mother's lullabies.Let's go down to the river nowand chase the butterflies.I believe in playing, absorbing life's full sun,dancing through the day until the night is done.I believe in wishing wells never running dry, granting us the time for a tender, slow goodbye.Let's go down to the river nowand chase the butterflies.Should I cross to the other side,don't you worry; don't you cry.There you'll see where tomorrow I'll be,forever chasing butterflies...

After a half-year, nationwide search, Orlando's main convention-and-visitors bureau has hired a longtime Disney executive as its new president and chief executive officer.
Visit Orlando said Thursday it chose George Aguel, who had served as chairman of the quasi-public agency's board in 2009-10. Aguel has more than 35 years of executive-level experience in sales and marketing, much of it at Walt Disney World. His most recent role at Disney has been as senior vice president of Global Corporate Alliances and Operating Participants for the giant resort's corporate parent, the Walt Disney Co.
"Orlando is a world-class destination, and the Visit Orlando team is highly respected amongst its peers and the industry," Aguel said in a prepared statement. "I'm looking forward to working with the team and to have the opportunity to represent the destination and the company."
Paul Mears III, Visit Orlando's current board chairman, said Aguel was chosen because of his experience with both leisure and business travel — back in 1986, for example, when he was Disney World's vice president of resort/park sales and services, Aguel was ranked among the "25 Most Influential People in the Meetings Industry" by a leading trade publication — and because of the relationships he has developed in the travel-and-tourism business worldwide.
Mears said bureau's board was unanimous in its decision to hire him.
"Where he's been, what he's done, who he knows, matched up perfectly with the criteria that we laid out as a selection committee," Mears said. "George happens to be local in Orlando, but he is a national figure."
Visit Orlando hired SearchWide, an executive-recruitment firm in Stillwater, Minn., last summer to conduct a national search for a new chief executive, after the agency's former leader, Gary Sain, died unexpectedly in May of a heart attack. When Sain held the position, it paid as much as $474,000 a year.
Aguel, who was still on Visit Orlando's board last year as past chairman, was initially a member of the search committee that eventually hired him. He attended one meeting before recusing himself, after he was approached by SearchWide about being included in the first round of nine candidates, said hotelier Paul Tang, head of the search committee.
Tang said the group eventually interviewed six candidates, including Aguel.

No body of treatment research exists for histrionic personality disorder. Two meta-analyses of psychotherapeutic treatments for personality disorders (Leichsenring and Leibing 2003; Perry et al. 1999) suggest that these conditions respond to both psychodynamic therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, none of the studies included focused specifically on histrionic personality disorder. Most of the literature on this diagnostic entity has been written from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic point of view. Recently, contributions from cognitive therapy have appeared. Both approaches are summarized in this chapter, and the discerning reader will note considerable overlap between the two therapeutic strategies. The lack of rigorously designed treatment trials on histrionic personality disorder requires us to rely on accumulated clinical wisdom regarding the treatment of these patients. No medications are thought to be useful, so psychotherapy must be considered the cornerstone of treatment.

The QRS, Quantron Resonance System products are innovative, in-home health appliances. By lying down comfortably on a QRS mat, only 8 minutes twice a day, you can boost your immune system and relieve tension. Use the QRS 101 System for home treatment of chronic pain, osteoporosis, and for full body treatment.
As seen on the Dr. Oz show!
Please contact Natural Healing Tools at 877-864-8665 or email to set up a free conference with our medical doctor.
Various purchase programs available! Buy or rent available!
The QRS is a result of more than 20 years of fundamental and applied research by leading international scientists in Europe and was first used in the Russian MIR Space Station program. Today, the QRS is designed for home use and is being used in homes and clinics around the world and has been proven safe and effective. Over 80,000 QRS systems have been sold worldwide.
The QRS treatment can be performed easily. You can use the mat while fully clothed, relaxed on your own sofa. Safe and easy!
Watch for our QRS demonstrations at Iowa Ragbrai, Quizno's Pro Challenge in Colorado and other sporting events. The QRS is used by Lance Armstrong and other professional athletes to reduce chronic pain and sports injuries.
Restoring cell functioning By applying the full body mat or small pillow for 8 minutes twice a day, low pulsed magnetic frequencies stimulate cell metabolism, increase oxygen assimilation and accelerate the removal of toxic chemicals and waste. The human body consists of about 50 trillion cells that harmoniously work together. If a small energy deficiency arises in a cell or group of cells, imbalances occur within the body. By creating a resonance similar to those of the body's own cells, the QRS restores cell functioning and penetrates the body, reinforcing weak functional cycles in a natural way. Using extremely low frequency (ELF) programs, which are equivalent to the natural frequencies of the body, for example, the 4 brain states (alpha, beta, theta, and delta), soft tissues, bones, nerves, the heart, and other organs, allows the body to recover its own self-healing capabilities.
While in most cases relaxation is an immediate effect of QRS treatment, it does not claim to be a 'quick fix'. Sometimes it takes weeks to months of treatment sessions to enable the body to balance itself. Electromagnetic fields are subtle, though proven to be effective and beneficial to the body. To read more about proof, please go to Medical Results and Research.
Stimulate Metabolism
The QRS System resonance fields stimulate the action potential of the body cell functioning. This opens the cells to accept vitamins, minerals, and oxygen. This allows the cells to expel waste. Thus the cell stays healthier, more viable and promotes self rejuvenation. This promotes a healthier cell system in the body.
Safe and natural The QRS is designed for home use, but is also being used in clinics around the world. The QRS is safe and has no known side effects and can be used to treat children or adults. Pregnant women and people with pacemakers are asked to be cautions when using the QRS.
About QRS
The QRS® application duration is normally eight minutes twice a day. A QRS® application session has a long term healing action lasting up to eight hours on a healthy person. The treatment has a very gentle effect. Depending on the physical condition, in most cases an improvement of the metabolism and the general regeneration of cells appears even after only a few days. To reach an optimal level of health, continuous daily application of the Quantum Resonance System is recommended.
The recommendations for the intensity level and the application duration are based on a vast number of clinical cases and double blind studies, which have taken place under medical and scientific supervision.
Space-age technology comes down to Earth
Since 1996, QRS has been tested in the Russian MIR space station program. It was installed to counteract calcium depletion in cosmonauts' bones. Men and women engaged in long-term space missions, face decreasing bone density because they cannot exercise properly in a weightless state. (Weightlessness produces no-impact aerobics.) When QRS was introduced, however, it improved circulatory problems, increased amounts of oxygen in the bloodstream, boosted cell metabolism, and gave space travelers additional energy. The QRS system brings these benefits to us right down on Earth.
"In order to maintain good health, our cosmonauts need to use the QRS on their flight to Mars!" Professor Dr. med. V. M. Baranov, medical Director at EUROSPACE in Moscow

A convicted Squaw Valley rapist is still missing, and a prosecutor says it appears he fled the country.
20-year-old Spencer Scarber is now a convicted rapist, and a fugitive. On Friday, he was found guilty of raping a 35-year-old woman, but was not in court to hear his own fate.
Scarber's attorney Antonio Alvarez says, "I've never had a defendant disappear on me in trial or not be there in trial, so it's a new bridge for me to cross. In the 20 years I've been doing this, this is a unique situation that I find myself in."
Scarber was reported missing Wednesday by his father. During a court hearing Monday, prosecutor Leanne Le Mon suggested the suspect skipped the country, with the help of his family.
Le Mon says Scarber was issued a passport on October 24th, 2012. She also says there's evidence that a vehicle registered to Scarber's mother, Gail Scarber, crossed the border into Mexico a little after 3:00 a.m. Wednesday; that's the same day the defendant disappeared.
About an hour after entering Mexico, records show the man's mother and sister, Crystal, used their passports to walk back into the U.S.
Defense attorney Antonio Alvarez says he has no idea where his client is.
"I'm pretty much at a standstill in terms of what I can do, or what my office can do in terms of locating Spencer. And yet my primary concern at this point is that obviously he's fine and that we can get him back and deal with this legal situation."
Alvarez has been in contact with Scarber's father Kyle, an assistant chief with the California Highway Patrol Central Division. As of Monday, Kyle says he's still searching for his missing son.
"From the information I had gotten from his family, they don't know either. As far as they're concerned, he's a missing person at this point. Whether he's abducted or left on his own, at this point I think everybody's speculating."
We did reach out to the sheriff's office for an update on this investigation. Officials aren't revealing any new information.
In addition to the rape convictions, Scarber was also found guilty on a robbery and burglary charge. A no bail warrant has now been issued for his arrest.
A judge delayed Scarber's sentencing until January 15, 2013. He could face 70 years to life in prison.

PAT CAPUTO: Why Detroit Tigers road to American League Central title much more difficult than last year WITH VIDEO
There is much subtlety to baseball.
You look out at the diamond in the middle of a game and no action is happening. However, the wheels of the game are still turning.
Should the hit-and-run be put on? What can the manager, pitching coach or catcher do to cope with a pitcher who threw several errant pitches in a row? Or what is the hitter thinking about a pitcher who has fanned three in a row? Or shouldn't the right fielder be in a little more because the hitter doesn't have much power?
It's one thing after another. Those little decisions, as the game moves along, often gradually paint the big picture about which team wins that night or afternoon.
There are other times when baseball is notoriously simple. Like Sunday, when the Tigers beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-1.
Detroit's starting pitcher, Doug Fister, was brilliant. Jose Valverde, refreshingly, closed the game without incident. Offensively, there wasn't anything strategic about it. Shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who typically for this season, had been in a hitting slump, suddenly pounded two home runs. One was for three runs, the other a baseball cliché special (a "solo shot" that "provided an insurance run.")
Such strategy landed Earl Weaver — whose outspoken love for the three-run homer is as legendary as his confrontations with umpires — a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The season overall has not been nearly as simplistic for the Tigers. Nor does it figure to be moving forward. There are a couple obstacles. One is the Chicago White Sox. The other is the schedule.
It was last year at this time when the Tigers stopped floundering and grabbed control of the American League Central race. When it was over, they won the division by an overwhelming margin. They accounted well for themselves in the playoffs, too. Continued...
By all appearances, this season will present a different scenario. Despite losing their last two series at Cleveland and Toronto, falling out of first place after a brief stay, the Tigers are still the likely the winners of the AL Central. It's just the possibility is they won't win the division is very real. And winning it by 15 games like last season seems impossible.
For one thing, the White Sox, who have led the AL Central most of recent months, are much better team than the Tigers' primary competition last season, the Cleveland Indians.
It's taken awhile, but trades from the past for outfielder Alex Rios and starting pitcher Jake Peavy, and the free agent signing last year of Adam Dunn, have paid off for the White Sox.
Maybe it was just as simple as getting rid of Ozzie Guillen as manager. The White Sox have plenty of veterans who have been through pennant race pressure — far more than the Indians, who have hung tough again this season, of 2011.
Secondly, the Tigers' schedule is more difficult, at least until the end of the season when they close with an abundance of game against the AL Central's most struggling clubs, the Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals.
The trip to Cleveland and Toronto were to face essentially .500 teams. The Red Sox, despite their struggles this season, don't figure to be any easier at Fenway Park this week.
There are six games remaining with the Angels, a road series at Texas, a home series against the Yankees, three home games with surprising Oakland, and seven more games — in late August and early September — vs. the White Sox.
Last season, only four of the Tigers' final 51 games were against eventual winning teams (a four-game series at Tampa Bay). The Tigers were 36-15 in those games. Such a surge this time around seems unlikely, nor does a fade like the Indians made last season seem on the horizon for the White Sox (the 2011 Indians were 27-30 in August and September).
The Tigers probably have a better team this season. They still have Doug Fister and Delmon Young, late-season acquisitions who were key in their pennant drive last season, and they have added Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez via trade.
But every season takes on a life of its own, and this season suggests that will be much tougher in August and September this year compared to last season for the Tigers. Continued...

text: Sundance exists because of one man's love of nature and of the arts. The nature is astonishing, the arts are communal, and the resort itself stands at the base of Utah's 12,000-foot Mount Timpanogos without infringing upon its landscape. You'll find Sundance tucked away in Provo Canyon, a one-hour drive south of Salt Lake City International Airport. Watch the moon climb over Mt. Timpanogos from your cottage patio, or enjoy a fireside dinner with newfound friends in a mountain home, and you'll begin to appreciate what Sundance is all about. To understand what's here, you need to spend time in the beautiful spaces inside the rustic exterior of the cottage community, just as you must spend time on the trails and slopes of the mountain to fully experience this wilderness preserve. Surrounding Sundance Resort is a fragile, mountain wilderness environment of unique beauty. There are thousands of species of plants and animals, the most ancient residents of the canyon. To coexist peaceably with such an environment requires an environmental policy of the kind that began at Sundance in 1969, when Robert Redford purchased thousands of acres with a desire to preserve the natural splendor of the area and to develop a small, sustainable community for nature and the arts.

Anytime. If you live near barking Gurudwara and fancy meeting up. Let me know and I will be more than happy to introduce you to my wife and kids. I mean if your fellow Sikh brothers and sisters can't help you then who will. It's a duty being a Sikh to help when someone requests it. Take care
I don't live near Barking but thanks for the invitation. I agree with your line of thinking but I don't think there are many people like you, either that or I have never come across them. I mean I think I could name one Singh who I have asked to help someone else and he actually did help them.

Social Marketing is about ACTION: targeted specific behavioral change. I am curious if you think that when applied to CR or peacebuilding -it can become a social engineering? Can we force people to be peaceful? Is offering incentives that are difficult to say no to (education, food, $, development) be a form of manipulation? OR… is basing our peacebuilding programs on the exchange theory: which states that everyone will act on their own self-interest – the best way to come to a peaceful resolution in the midst of violent conflict. Is it a necessary evil in this context? Is there a better way?
Please take the poll (answers adapted from ppt by Wienrich Communications), and even add your own answers if you wish

According to Avondale Partners analyst Donald Broughton, the number of trucking companies who had no choice but to file bankruptcy last quarter has significantly decreased when compared to previous years, showing that the trucking industry is recovering.
Trucking took a hit from 2007 through 2010 due to the following: Demand, fuel and price being extraordinarily volatile, as well as "credit becoming impossible to find for some fleets and difficult to afford when it was available to others" (http://insurancenewsnet.com/article.aspx?id=297906).
For these reasons, over 8,500 carriers went out of business, taking over 325,000 trucks off the road, a decrease of 12% availability according to the report. This 12% decrease was in large part due to 12 specific carriers, who decreased their fleets by a combined total of 10,454 trucks.
Last year's 3rd quarter led to 330 truck companies and 10,685 trucks filing bankruptcy while this year, only 85 companies and about 1,470 trucks were shut down, a near 90% decrease, Avondale Partners notes.
Looking further, the 3rd quarter proved significantly more successful than this year's 2nd quarter, when 240 carriers and 3,955 trucks exited the industry.
So why the improvement in statistics all of a sudden? Rising rates due to tighter capacity restraints play a large hand, proving to be of notable profit to carriers.
Since the start of 2010 through today, "truckload rates have increased about 11%, excluding fuel surcharges," the report notes, with an estimated 3-5% truckload and up to 10% LTL rate increase per year.
Broughton explains that "shippers are willing to pay higher prices because they have recognized the increasing labor, fuel, depreciation, maintenance and insurance costs that fleets face" and offered hope in saying "If [fleets] made it this far through the tough times, then they can make it through the better times" (http://insurancenewsnet.com/article.aspx?id=297906).
Looking for a qualified, reputable LTL and Truckload carrier? Then look no further than Road Scholar Transport. Don't take our word for it, but customers like yourselves. Here's what one company had to say about us.
"It is so easy for someone to sit down and write a "canned" letter of appreciation and commend a company on a job well done. In the case of Road Scholar Transport, to just say thanks for your excellent, quality service would lead most people to think you've done an excellent job in the transportation industry, which in fact, you have. It is an area in which you excel and quite honestly, it's the part of your business that comes easiest to you."
Check out more testimonials from Road Scholar's customers at http://www.roadscholar.com/freighthaulingtestimonials.php.
Would you risk shipping with a company on the verge of bankruptcy just to achieve a low rate or would you rather ship with a trustworthy, stable company? List your comments below.

What a Carry On! Florida, August 2008 - Part 5, AK & Mall@Millenia
What a Carry On! Part 5 Thursday 21st August 2008.
The late night doesnt keep us in bed any longer than usual and we are awake at 6.00am. We get up at 6.30, closely followed by the rest of the family.
Dad tells us that they saw a large raccoon last evening, wandering past the pool enclosure into the wildlife reserve at the back of the house.
Beth is on the computer first thing, checking a GCSE result for a part of her RS course shes done ok, with 85% so far. (She finishes the course next year)
Its trash collection day so we open the garage door to put the garbage bins out. Virtually all those already on the street outside neighbouring houses have been blown over by the winds or ransacked by the raccoons! Either way, the street is a mess.
Its raining and very windy, and all the forecasts indicate more of the same for most of the day. We talk over a coffee and decide to carry on as planned, with a morning at Animal Kingdom. Later, if its sill rough, well visit a Mall somewhere ( I dont do shopping, but am outvoted by the rest of the consumers in the group, but I at least manage to get them considering Mall at Millenia instead of the Florida Mall.)
We shower and prepare our gear before leaving at 8.20. Heres the weather as we leave:
AK is the closest of the parks and we are entering the car park at 8.35.
I manage to create a bit of confusion after this, by following the car in front, which has seemingly missed the right turning and we both end up, with a few more sheep behind us, at the wrong side of the vast lot!
A damp and resigned-looking CM sorts us out and we park up properly, at the most extreme end of a row, as per usual!
Once everyone is ponchod up (except Amanda, who wont wear them!) we splosh over to the gates and are admitted at 8.55.
We split up at the rope drop, sending our faithful assistants to get FastPasses for the Kilimanjaro Safari while the four adventurers head over to Expedition: Everest.
This is a walk on and just as thrilling as I recall it. Mum doesnt care for it though, finding it a bit rough for her and due to the rain pelting our faces on the faster sections, we decide not to repeat just now. Bethany is also a bit out of humour, complaining that her Crocs are rubbing her feet. She has brought a couple of spare pairs of shoes however, (women!) and she changes them in the shop before we exit to find Dad and Adam.
The boys are outside, with FPs for 920. We wait a few minutes until this time is reached, so that Amanda and I can get a couple more FastPasses for Everest for later (slot 10.00 11.00).
Quick restroom (and I discover later that my darling wife is recording all my RR stops by taking pictures of the establishments I visit! Charming! Its not my age, by the way, I just drink loads of water too ensure I remain hydrated! And, as editor in chief, I wont be posting any of them anyway!) Theres a superb, jet-powered hand dryer her which intrigues us, and Adam goes in to test it!
We stroll out of Asia towards Africa, enjoying the detailing and theming of the park along the way. I love the mud pavements with their tyre tracks and drifts of stones.
The Safari is a walk on and we dont need the FPs. We enter at 9.35 and are off on quite productive session of animal sightings. Theyve (thankfully!) altered and updated the narrative a bit since our last trip, dropping the sickly Little Red rescue nonsense. Due to the dull skies, bouncy ride and low light levels, however, most of our pics were disappointing, and I only post one.
Heading back the way we came, Amanda and I use our passes at EE and arrange to meet the rest of them in Dinoland USA (I never fail to wonder who the heck thought the names of the lands up here!)
It seems to have stopped raining and we arent pelted by the drops on this second ride. On exit, we take a couple of photos of the ride:
Oh no, the Yeti got them!
We exit at 10.20 and walk on to DLUSA.. where it starts to drizzle again. The family are milling about a little aimlessly, so we take control and steer everyone into Dinosaur.
Theres a little congestion in the entrance, as the CMs are insisting everyone takes off their ponchos before getting any further inside I suspect that this is to prevent them getting snagged on the ride vehicles, but they dont offer an explanation.
The Standby time is posted at 20 minutes, but we walk straight on yet again.
Not a bad experience, if a little jerky, and, glory be, as we leave at 10.45 its sunny!
The four younger of us head across to Primeval Whirl, leaving the wrinklies to rest on a bench nearby. This time the 20 minute standby is accurate, and, having entered at 10.55, we are off by 11.15, happy, if a little bruised!
Treading the same paths as before, we march briskly across to Flights of Wonder in Asia, arriving at 11.25 for the 11.30 show.
Theres loads of space, and we are seated in the centre, close to the front and stage.
The stage set is very well done Adam spots Hidden Mickeys in the façade.
This is one of my favourite attractions at the Animal Kingdom, and I urge you to go and see it if you can.
We leave at 11.55 and decide to quit while we are ahead. I suggest Sweet Tomatoes for lunch, a favourite of the kids, although Mum and Dad have never been before. Using the tram, we are soon back at the car and, using Steves excellent map, we arrive at Sweet Tomatoes on I Drive at 12.45.
We have just started piling our plates up when I hear a Mike! from across the counter Jakki and her family are on the other side, just having their last meal in Orlando before heading off to the airport after a full month of holidays!
For those of you not familiar with Sweet Tomatoes, heres how it works. You pay a paltry sum of less than $8 each for an all you can eat affair, (and my parents got 10% pensioner discount!) consisting of a fantastic salad bar (one visit only) followed by as many trips as you like to the hot food and dessert stations. Their soups are legendary, and everything is made fresh every day.
Our (ok, MY) modest lunch includes the salad, two or three bowls of soup, all different; a spicy pasta dish and several pieces of foccacia and pizza. I finish off with muffins (blueberry, apple & cinnamon, buttermilk cornbread & chocolate brownie) topped with frozen yoghurt. Heres a full (sample) menu:
Tossed Salads:Caesar Salad Asiago (Non-Vegetarian)Classic Greek (Vegetarian)Field of Greens: Citrus Vinaigrette (Vegan)Won Ton Chicken Happiness
Prepared Salads:German Potato Greek Couscous w/ Feta Cheese & Pinenuts (Vegetarian)Joan's Broccoli Madness (Non-Vegetarian)Three Bean Marinade (Vegan)Tuna Tarragon
Soups:Big Chunk Chicken Noodle (Low-Fat)Classical French Onion (Non-Vegetarian)Classical Shrimp BisqueCurried Yellow Split Pea (Low-Fat, Vegetarian)Deep Kettle House Chili (Low-Fat)Lemon Chicken Orzo Pinto Bean & Basil Barley (Low-Fat, Vegetarian)Three-Bean Turkey Chili (Low-Fat)
Pastas:Fire-Roasted Tomato Basil Alfredo (Vegetarian)Macaroni & Cheese (Vegetarian)Vegetarian Marinara w/ Basil (Vegetarian)
Muffins:Apple Cinnamon Bran Muffin (96% Fat-Free)Buttermilk Cornbread (Low-Fat)Chocolate Brownie Muffin
Desserts:Tapioca Pudding (Low-Fat)Seasonal Fresh Fruit Vanilla Soft Serve & Chocolate Frozen Yogurt
We are done by 1.40 and waddle healthily and virtuously to the car. The Mall at Milennia isnt far away, although I manage to take a wrong turn before we arrive at the right place.
Parking at the Macys end, we enter for an initial reccy and to find the restrooms (of course!) We make use of Macys own, on the upper level.
I had been attracted to this mall before the holiday, as it seemed to be a smaller version of our own Trafford Centre in Manchester, and had a decent array of more up-market shops (I wasnt intending to actually buy anything this trip, so theres no point browsing TK(J!)Maxx or Top Shop when you can unfold sweaters and mess up displays in Louis Vuitton or Chanel!). Oh, and there are two Starbucks outlets!
We split up, arranging to meet at the upper level Starbucks at 3.30. Amanda and I set off on an initial wander the full length of the Mall, on the lower level, from Macys to Bloomingdales at the opposite end, before strolling back again on the upper floor.
It is attractively planned and laid out: not too many stores, and most of them of the upscale type. We do two of Amandas favourite shops, Tiffanys (where the staff are much more welcoming and less snooty than at the flagship, New York outlet!) and Jimmy Choos, where, to my horror, she tries on several pairs of eye-wateringly expensive (if, admittedly gorgeous!) heels. My darling is wearing her flat, Teva sandals, and the assistant is noticeably impressed when she climbs aboard a pair of 5 inch strappy things and strides off confidently across the floor as if she wears such apparel every day... I explain that she does!
I feign a choking fit and possible heart attack, and in the ensuing chaos manage to wrestle Amanda out of the store and away from the danger area. Once we have put a few dozen stores between us and JCs, I take her from over my shoulder and let her walk on her own again.
There are attractive lounge areas scattered through the Mall, and a striking water feature in the central entrance foyer.
We bump into dad and Adam along the way, although Adam is desperately seeking a restroom (having had 4 or 5 pints of bottomless coke at lunch!) and so we continue on without them.
Its soon 3.30 and we head for the food court to wait for the rest of the family. It would be rude not to buy anything here today, so we get coffee from Starbucks. Actually, Beth has bought a couple of garments and my dad has found some discounted Crocs he likes.
We leave just after 4.00pm and its leathering down once more. Always the gentleman, I leave the mob under cover at the entrance while I run for the van. Its only a hundred yards or so, and I run fast, but Im soaked to my George underpants by the time I scramble into the vehicle.
The journey home is uneventful if wet. We stop at Win Dixie for the daily shop (they get worried when we dont call!) which today includes a replacement for the pool lobster, which Adam has killed. Sadly, they are all out of lobsters and other monster crustaceans, so we adopt an alligator instead.
It rains more or less constantly for the rest of the day, and we tend towards staying under cover on the lanai instead of swimming or soaking in the spa. I use the pc to check the location of our friends rented villa at Grand reserve for tomorrow, before relinquishing it to my impatient daughter who is experiencing MSN withdrawal symptoms.
No one is particularly hungry after the mammoth veg fest earlier, but eating three or four times a day becomes habitual, so we have a sandwich and a beer at 6.00ish. We discuss the fact that it doesnt look as though the trash collection has taken place, and after the snack I pop out to bring the bins back into the garage. Not long afterwards, we realise that dad is missing: I find him wandering the sidewalk at the front of the villa, searching for the missing bins. (I remind myself that hes thirty years older than me, so I should be ok for a few more years.....)
The evening passes happily enough, with the kids playing Foosball in the games room and the adults drinking and chatting outside. The mood (ok, my mood) deteriorates a bit when Adam brings the happy news that his toilet is blocked, and assumes that his dear father can clear it for him..... I seek out the requisite plungers and attend to the problem, although not in the most gracious of tempers. The details of the operation dont need airing here, but I require a shower afterwards before rejoining the party on the pool deck.
If anything, the rainfall is even heavier now, and we note that the pool has crept up a good 6 inches over the last couple of days!
By 10.30 we are all ready for bed. Goodnight!
Mike & Amanda
Tomorrow: Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Jellyrolls!

Re: What a Carry On! Florida, August 2008 - Part 5, AK & Mall@Millenia
I am completely awed that your wife not only tried on Jimmy Choos, that she chose five inch heels and the magnificent part-WALKED in them! Whooooooeeee! She's a keeper, that one.
Mall at Millenia is a pretty place, isn't it? Pricey, but nice for a browse. So, you had no desire to wander in the Apple store?
Ummmmm...Mike? I've gone back for seconds on the salad bar portion of Sweet Tomatoes. Haven't been thrown out for it, either! It's one of the few offsite buffets that I truly enjoy.Thank you for being a member of our Secrets Family!!! We are so very pleased to have you with us!

Recordinglevel to low
Like (0)
we have a M20d for testing. Everything seems to work fine and its fun to work with it.
one thing we do not understand is the recordlevel.
if we use Auto trim the recordlevel of the tracks are very low.
if i import the tracks into the DAW i have to gain ~15db for normalizing.
is this intentional? are the 15db reserved for Headroom?
Of course if we gain by our own and drive it a little "hotter" the levels seems OK
but if we have to gain by our own the Auto trim funktion makes no sense for us.
There may be additional gain that you can use at the pre-amp without clipping your signal. The best way to ensure your hottest level without clipping is to be sure to play the loudest part of your performance when performing the auto trim function. However, if your performance is that dynamic to where the rest of your performance is too low, you may want to try performing the auto-trim while playing one of your louder parts - but not THE loudest.
Make sure you are not using the Level to make up gain that is lacking in your preamp.
Keep in mind that the recording of individual tracks is done at the input just after the trim and before the DSP presets so any makeup gain by your compressor or EQ's is not recorded.
I'm also having the same problem of recording playback level are very low. Would it be better to not use auto trim?Please provide more detail. I do not want to use a DAW to increase levels, I want to be able to use the M20d to mix levels to the mainmix, then take my mainmix from SD card to my PC and burn to CD for my band members to hear without them having to turn up the volume on their sterios full blast and still not get a decent level. I thank you in advance for you're advice.
The main output is recorded post fader. If your master fader is at a low level then the recording is at a low level as well. The main output is recorded post fader because the pre fader signal can be very hot since it is 32 bit floating point and it would be clipping very easily when recorded in 24 bit.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The flowery, crisp, nutty, fresh, light straw-colored 2006 Fino en Rama was aged for two years in American oak. A delightful wine, it cuts a broad texture throughout the mouth, but its fresh acids, floweriness and vibrancy make for a remarkable drink. Consume it within a year or so of purchase."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Toasty smelling, with a hint of burnt banana chip, vanilla and roasted nuts. Round and mouthfilling for a fino, with toasty, nutty flavors followed by dry apricot and mild citrus. Focused on the finish, and lightly nutty as it fades away." - Wine Enthusiast

VH1′s Celebrity Fit Club is coming back on Monday, Feb. 8 at 9/8c. This has always been one of my favorite reality shows. This show has had some characters such as Bizarre from D12 and and of course Dustin Diamond…
Anyways, this season is going to have some characters. The former Mr. Britney Spears (I mean K-Fed) is trying to lose his new found extra poundage. I guess depression from the Britney breakup had him eating a little too much comfort food.

The council and the Department of Education have agreed on a plan to speed up the removal of PCBs within the next three years.
Last year, three schools were initially found to have elevated levels of the toxic material.
Further tests found almost 800 schools need lighting fixtures with PCBs replaced.
PCBs were once used as insulation but were banned in the 1970s.

Arts, sciences and humanities build healthier, more livable, vital communities. They are essential to a strong education system. They contribute enormously to our economy.
Worcester Regional Flight Academy, established in May 2010, is a family-owned and -operated Part 61 flight school located at the Worcester Regional Airport. The Allen family, which owns and operates the school, is strongly committed to bringing general aviation and Worcester's airport into a more positive light by making a presence within the city and the surrounding communities.
To achieve this, the Academy supports and works closely with local businesses, news media and community organizations, colleges and universities, and technical/vocational high schools, to create a web of mutually beneficial partnerships. The Allen family is particularly interested in helping young adults to discover and explore various aviation careers through the Flight Academy's Youth Programs, and to assist them in cultivating their interests and realizing their potential by making aviation as affordable as possible.
In an all-new episode, Steve D'Agostino interviews George Charles Allen, founding director, vice president and chief financial officer of Worcester Regional Flight Academy. He has been living and breathing aviation since he was a toddler, experiencing his first flight in a Cessna 150 at Robertson Airport in Connecticut, at the age of three. He began logging lessons when he was six. He's also a teacher, published author, classical pianist and independent scholar.
Worcester Flight Academy
Sun, 12/02/2012 - 5:45pm — JThe Worcester Regional Flight Academy is an amazing school in Worcester and the Allen family has done an excellent job creating it. There is so much going on up there from people getting their pilots licenses to children developing an appreciation for STEM related subjects. Worcester is the home of the rocket and this small business is testament top that history being alive and well in our community. More people should know about the Worcester Regional Flight Academy.

Study contends Grand Canyon as old as dinosaur era
Thursday, December 6, 2012
LOS ANGELES — The awe-inspiring Grand Canyon was probably carved about 70 million years ago, much earlier than thought, a provocative new study suggests — so early that dinosaurs might have roamed near this natural wonder. |

Hello I'm developing a project, and I need to know is there a file hosting which support direct links to txt, zip? I have tried some free hosting sites, but all I do is get 403 forbidden when trying to access the direct link. Thank you
closed as not constructive by John Conde♦ Dec 20 '12 at 19:21
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, see the FAQ for guidance.
Any paid for web hosting provider will offer direct link downloads, but most free web hosts won't as they gain no revenue from the traffic. If you just want to host files for download it's worth looking at file sharing services like Bit-Torrent Dropbox, Sparkleshare, Putlocker, Rapidshare and Mediafire. All offer free file hosting or sharing in some form or another. These services generally divide into three categories.
The lines between these categories are not clear cut, Sparkleshare for instance combines elements of software client and peer to peer. You should also read our community wiki 'How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?' |
