Ways you can Prevent Dead-End Arguments with Your Partner
Dealing with Arguments in a Relationship
Everyone in a relationship argues! It doesn't matter that you win more quarrels or you prove yourself right, what really matters is your relationship/marriage. Most dead-end arguments can be prevented. You must realise that you are not alone; you have to think about your partner and the relationship too. (Image source:Getty)Loading...
Realise the consequence of your rage behaviour
There is a difference between anger and rage. Anger itself is not destructive, but rage is. A rage full behaviour is when all you want is break things or relationships and burst on your partner. (Image source:Getty)
Deal with it in a safe way
Whenever you get angry, it is better to talk about your feelings. You just need to be verbalized to avoid arguments and your partner will know how you feel. (Image source:Getty)
Take a break
When there is an argument and there seems no way out, you should take a break. Step out of the room and come back when things appear calmer. It is one of the easiest ways to deal with arguments going nowhere. (Image source:Getty)
Find humour in it
It is not dealing with a war of words, but there are fun ways to end it. Find humour in the argument to keep the mood light. When something goes wrong, crack a joke or do anything that will make your partner burst into laughter. (Image source:Getty)
State the disagreement before it causes trouble
Just like you know the points where you agree with your partner, you must take a moment to address the issues where there is a disagreement. Talk about the disagreements and you will prevent many quarrels that may happen. (Image source:Getty)
Raising your voice can hurt your partner
Raising your voice can hurt feelings or can lead to more differences. Don't raise your voice, settle things with a whisper. If you communicate with a whisper instead of yelling, it significantly reduces the anger factor in their relationships. (Image source:Getty)
Every argument is a threat to your relationship
With every argument, your relationship becomes weaker. Arguments can put partner in a panic mode or is a way to tell them that you want to leave. Do you want to see them sink in depression? Don't start it in the first place. (Image source:Getty)
Don't stockpile but calm down and talk it out
The solution to quarrels is - calm down and talk it out, but not stockpile. If you have unresolved feelings from past problems, talk about them. (Image source:Getty)
You may win, but it's a loss
'I'm right!', you may declare a win over your partner in an argument but it doesn't make things easier for future. Don't just fixate on who's right or wrong, instead find a solution that strengthens your bonding with the partner. (Image source:Getty)
Consider physical and emotional effects
The process of anger can badly hit you physically and emotionally. Anger is self destructor; body releases chemicals that may inflict damage in many ways. Learn how to understand your and your partner's feelings. (Image source:Getty)

Welcome to the Berkeley, Calif., of the not-too-distant future, where things aren�t going too well. No phones, no power and � gasp! � no Internet. Yeah, �Transcendence� is another in a long line of movies that starts with the ending, then flashes back � in this case, five years earlier � to how and why it all happened. Note to all screenwriters: Enough, already. Just tell me the story; save the ending for the end!
So, five years earlier, we meet brilliant scientist-researchers Will and Evelyn Caster (Johnny Depp and Rebecca Hall), taking a break from work by listening to some tasty Jorma Kaukonen on the turntable (these are obviously old-school brilliant scientists).
There�s also their best pal and co-scientist-researcher Max Waters (Paul Bettany) � not to worry, not even a hint of a clich�d love triangle can be found in this sometimes cerebral, sometimes action-packed science fiction thriller.
Will Caster is the foremost authority on artificial intelligence, and he�s making incredible advances. But there are folks out there � let�s call them the anti-technology crowd � who want him and his work stopped before it�s �too late.� And like certain factions of the far right (though specific political sides aren�t mentioned here), they�ll do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Yes, that includes killing.
No, the Johnny Depp character isn�t exactly taken out early on, like Janet Leigh in �Psycho,� but he sure does go through some changes. For clarity�s sake, let�s say his mind goes through some changes. He�s in bad physical shape, excellent mental shape and his experiments in A.I. involve the Internet. The only spoiler I�ll give up is that, with surreptitious help from his wife and his pal, that very special mind becomes one with the Internet.
This is where, in some quarters, the movie makes a quantum leap up the interest ladder, and in others, draws accusations of being derivative of other films. Nitpicking fellow critics have argued with me that �Transcendence� borrows too much from, among other films, �Robocop,� �Blade Runner,� �Invasion of the Body Snatchers� and �2001: A Space Odyssey.�
To them I say, Shut up and eat your popcorn, and pay attention to what�s going on in this intelligent, visually dazzling, and often creepy film about the wonders and dangers and uncertainties of science. Because of where the plot eventually turns, I�m fine with calling this a mad scientist movie. But despite the decisions made by Will Caster, decisions that just might be heading things toward the grimness at the beginning, there�s plenty of madness spinning around him among other characters. One of my favorite components of the script is the idea that it�s very difficult to figure out who�s right or wrong, who�s bad or good. Would a genius, once hooked up to the limitless possibilities and power of the Internet � literally a human in a machine � work for the betterment or detriment of mankind?
It�s also pretty cool to have these sorts of philosophical discussions sharing screen time with high-octane explosions. Which brings me back to those two words �visually dazzling.� This is a first shot at directing for veteran cinematographer Wally Pfister (�The Dark Knight,� �Inception�), and he�s a double winner here. The look of the film, no surprise, is amazing, and since a cinematographer works in such tight quarters with actors and directors, Pfister has made great use of his prior experience; he�s gotten some terrific performances from his actors, and though the story gets complicated, he�s figured out how to tell it well.
The final couple minutes of the film are going to lead to discussions among viewers as to whether or not it�s an upbeat or downbeat ending. I won�t let on as to which side I�m on, but you can be sure that it led to a few good-natured arguments.

When I want to buy a bike part(s) I usually do a quick search using Frugal Rouleur or Byke and then maybe check Cell Bikes as well to see who has it in stock and who has the best price. Then I might come to the forum and see if there are any discount codes floating around and then I place an order.
I've never bought anything from CE , and probably for good reason. I am very good at taking my business elsewhere and I always let the shop owner/manager know about it. Voting with your feet and your mouth can go a long way. Cell Bikes don't seem to have a problem during specific busy times during the year. I once ordered a couple of advretised specials at 8am and received it at 2pm the very same day. And they don't have a multitude of staff members.

WASHINGTON, April 27 (UPI) -- Five members of Congress were arrested outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington Monday as they demonstrated against the situation in Darfur.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died in Darfur in western Sudan in what the U.S. State Department has described as genocide.
The protesters spoke out against the general situation in Darfur and Sudan's expulsion of outside relief agencies.
A spokesman for Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., told The Hill that the five and organizers of the protest from the Save Darfur Coalition crossed a Secret Service perimeter around the embassy and ignored three warnings to leave the property. They were expected to be fined for a misdemeanor and released.
Members of Congress arrested were Edwards; Jim McGovern, D-Mass.; John Lewis, D-Ga., a veteran of the civil rights movement in the 1960s; Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the only Muslim member of Congress, and Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif.
Also arrested were Jerry Fowler, coalition president; John Prendergast, co-founder of the Enough Project, and Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
Anticipating arrest, Edwards and her colleagues hired a defense lawyer, Laura Rhodes, before the protest, the Edwards spokesman said.

The Browns had a quite a crash on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, now Jason Campbell and company look to bounce back at home against rival Pittsburgh Steelers.
Andy Dalton took the wrath of the home crowd as he trotted off the field. Cincinnati's punting team ran on.
The Browns had just taken a 13-0 lead on two field goals and a pick-six within 111 stunning seconds of first-quarter game clock. Cleveland's defense then stuck the Bengals in a third-and-20 en route to a three and out.
Norv Turner prepared to hop on the monster wave of momentum.
On first and 10 from his own 20 after the punt, the 61-year-old play caller imagined Josh Gordon open on the left side.
It was almost a no-brainer the Bengals would bite on a play-action fake. To that point, the seven runs Turner had called racked up 59 yards.
The Browns aimed to trick defensive end Michael Johnson into playing run. The Bengals' attack scheme on that play left Johnson unblocked at the line, needing to be picked up by the back.
"Because of the pressure they ran," Thomas said, "they ate up our running back.
"You hope that back-side guy (Johnson) takes the run fake a little more, then you can sneak the throw in. He didn't buy the run fake as much. He got his hand in there."
Johnson entered Campbell's viewing range at the last split second, rerouting the throw to old nemesis James Harrison. The ex-Steeler's interception set up the touchdown that turned the season around.
Campbell's fault?
"I don't think he could have avoided it," Turner said. "They got penetration and knocked off our blocker. Jason was looking out at Josh. Josh was open. It probably would have been a nice gain if the ball had not been tipped."
The Browns would have had that 13-0 lead and a first down around the 40, maybe beyond.
"The wheels kind of came off after that," Campbell said.
It was quite a crash. The Bengals had gone on a 31-0 run when the Browns picked up the pieces.
Down 14-13 now, Campbell got the ball back after a punt and showed signs of saving the game, marching the Browns from his own 10 to near midfield. The drive stalled near midfield, at which point the Bengals scored off a blocked punt.
In retrospect, as he prepares for a desperation game against the Steelers, Campbell blames himself for not stopping the bleeding, somehow.
"You can't do anything about the tipped interceptions," he said, "but you can do something about playing better.
"I look forward to bouncing back and playing a better game."
The Pittsburgh game will be Campbell's second start in Cleveland as a Brown. In the first one, a 24-18 win over Baltimore, he went 23-of-35 for 262 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
At Cincinnati, he went 27-of-56 for 248 yards, with a touchdown and three interceptions. What happened?
"People get tape on you," Turner said. "The times he started to step up in the pocket at Cincinnati, they either had a guy there, spying him, or their rush didn't run up the field quite the way Baltimore did.
"If you hurt someone with something, the way he did against Baltimore with his running ... Cincinnati made sure when he wanted to go somewhere, there was nowhere to go.
"Jason is steady. He's been a good role model. That's how he's been this week, and I expect him to play well."
If Campbell is shaken by the Cincinnati implosion, it doesn't show.
"If we can get on a streak here," he said, "you could look back at that game and say it made us a stronger, better team.
"It's getting hot at the right time. Hopefully we'll be one of those teams that gets hot at the right time."
For what it's worth, Campbell has won seven of his last nine starts in home games, dating to his 2010 season with Oakland. His best performance in those games arguably was his most recent one, against the Ravens.

Brand Management Case Competition Draws Elite Field
Students from eight top business schools tackle sponsor challenge for chance at $10,000
Student teams from some of the nation's top business schools will vie for a $10,000 first-place cash prize during the Elite Eight Brand Management Case Competition at the Carlson School of Management, November 3 - 5.
Now in its 11th year, Elite Eight consists of eight teams of five students who are presented with a strategic brand management challenge currently faced by one of the competition's sponsors. The teams are given 30 hours to prepare a structured case analysis and accompanying recommendations. Teams present their findings to a panel of expert judges from the sponsor companies who then critically assess the students' brand management, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Over the years, many of the teams' recommendations have been incorporated by the case sponsors.
"I will never forget the experience of competing in the Elite Eight," says Carina Sarbaugh, a member of the Carlson School's 2010 second-place team. "Not only was it amazing to feel the sense of accomplishment that comes from banding together to tackle a tough business problem, but it was truly inspirational to do so in the company of seven other top branding MBA programs."
The Elite Eight Brand Management Case Competition has become a premier event for brand management students across the country. In addition to the Carlson School, the other schools participating in this year's Elite Eight are:
- Kelley School of Business (Indiana University, Bloomington)
- Haas School of Business (University of California, Berkeley)
- Fuqua School of Business (Duke University)
- Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University)
- Stephen M. Ross School of Business (University of Michigan)
- The Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania)
- Anderson School of Management (University of California, Los Angeles)
"The Elite Eight was one of the most exciting experiences I had during my MBA career," says Mark Skeba, a member of the Kellogg School's 2008 and 2009 first-place teams. "The competition was fun, intense, and competitive. The Carlson School really puts on an exceptional weekend."
Past case studies and sponsor companies have included: Positioning an industrial line of products in a business-to- business setting (Ecolab); Growing the Archer Farms Brand Within a Highly Competitive Bottled Water Market (Target); and What is the Implication of Customer Centricity for the Best Buy Brand? (Best Buy).
As in past years, this year's sponsor companies and case topic will remain concealed until they are presented to the teams at the start of the competition. The public is welcome to watch the final team presentations on Saturday, November 5, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the 3M Auditorium.
In addition to the $10,000 first-place prize; $5,000 will be awarded for second-place; and $3,000 for third-place.

Today I have 2 of the 3 magnetic polishes OPI is doing as part of their Skyfall Collection for Holiday 2012. Hopefully I'll get the third eventually but I could not seem to find it anywhere around here. None of my local supply shops had it and the sales girls at all 4 Ulta's I went to looking for it looked at me like I had 37 eyes when I asked if they had them in stock. I love Ulta but man, some of their employees are seriously so incredibly unhelpful...it's kind of amazing how clueless they are to the products they carry.
Photos of the magnet can be found at the bottom of the post!
Is That Silva? is a charcoal grey/silver magnetic with holo glitter in the mix. When I first saw the magnetic polishes I passed on them, you could not see the holo in the store I was at. You guys convinced me I needed them and I am SO GLAD you did! Hands down this is my favorite magnetic polish in my stash, sprinkle in holo and I'm done for. The formula wasn't quite as opaque as I'm used to, I used 2 coats at first and after doing the magnet you could see visible nail line so I went back and did a 3rd coat and re-did the magnet.
Morning, Moneypenny is a magenta/pink magnetic, it also has holo glitter in the mix! I don't like this one quite as much as Is That Silva? but it's right up there among my favorite magnetics just because it looks awesome in the sun. This was much much better in real life, the holo glitter was a lot more noticeable than it looks in photos. The formula was great, I used 2 coats for the photos below.
The magnet for these OPI polishes is a bit different than any of the others I own. I found it to be very easy to use, the way you place your finger in and then press the magnet down makes it very user friendly. There is a little lip on the magnet side that makes it so that you don't hit your nail. I really loved the magnet for Is That Silva? It was nice and strong, far and away it's the best magnet I own with the diagonal line design.
The magnet for Morning, Moneypenny wasn't as good unfortunately. I need to try it on other magnetic polishes to see if maybe it was the polish that wasn't as great but I found it to be a little weak, it didn't pull the design as well as I wanted it to.
As far as availability of the OPI Magnetic Polishes goes...I really have no idea. Like I mentioned at the beginning of the post I went to 4 Ulta stores looking for these over the weekend and none of them had them or had any idea what the heck I was talking about when I asked about them. If you have a beauty supply near you that carries OPI you might find them there, that's where I found these 2.
Sorry for the lack of info, when/if I get more accurate info I'll update this part of the post :)

Danny Kedwell on scoring his first goal for Gillingham…
"It was amazing," Kedwell told the club's official website. "As a Gills fan I've been waiting for that moment all my life.
"I'm glad it was at the Rainham End because that's where I used to stand myself. It was probably the same buzz for me as what the fans got. I didn't know what to do really, I was going to jump into the Rainham End but I thought I'd better not.
"I didn't feel any pressure when I took the second one because your confidence comes after the first. Now I just need to push and try to score as many goals as I can."
Dario Gradi on the problems of finding an additional front man...
"We have to get Shaun and Ajay to make better decisions when they are on the ball but they have proved they can score goals and be a threat.
"If I could find that target man who would come in and improve us up there and score goals then I would sign him but that won't be easy because they don't really exist out there. I don't expect to find him and we have been looking."
Steve Evans responds to those who feel Crawley's wages have given them an unfair advantage…
"Martin talked about the money we have spent but he doesn't have a clue. How many other clubs in this country made a profit last year?
"Everybody thinks we have got a huge wage bill but the truth is it is smaller than half the teams in this league.
"The only player we paid money for was Tyrone and we will have clubs knocking on our door in January offering us plenty more than we paid for him."

ATLANTA, July 25 (UPI) -- John Isner and Kevin Anderson, the tournament's top two seeds, both survived three-set matches Thursday to reach the quarterfinals of the BB&T Atlanta Open.
Isner, seeded No. 1 and seeking his second title of the year, fought off Christian Harrison 7-6 (11-9), 4-6, 7-5 and Anderson rallied past Matthew Ebden 6-7 (7-9), 6-2, 6-2.
Isner's quarterfinal opponent will be James Blake in what will be only the third meeting between the Americans. Isner has won both previous confrontations, one of them coming in this tournament two years ago.
Blake made it to the quarterfinals by downing Evgeny Donskoy 6-3, 6-2.

Hi, I recently got the latest build and firmware installed on my xo 1. It looks great, especially the gnome desktop thing for someone like me used to windows. Even has firefox... However, under gnome, how can I connect to the internet? I'm sitting in a place with a wifi connection. Under sugar, just click on the circle and enter the password. Could someone point me in the direction of instructions for connecting under gnome on the xo?
Incidentally, I am also trying to install xo-get (to uninstall activities the easy way - already tried following the instructions for deleting activities the hard way and they are beyond me. I know I'm dumb.) Anyone know how to do that (install xo-get)? I already tried the instructions on the wiki page, but they didn't work. (The "wget www.... part just came up with an error message.)
Finally, has anyone ever got voip to work on the xo? I'd really like to use it to talk to my girlfriend in China using messenger, skype or anything where we can have free calls (I'm in the UK). I tried meebo, but the msn version there only has a little webcam button which never connects. My XO is too full at the moment to install skype (I guess). Just wonder if anyone has ever got something like that to work and could point me to some EASY instructions?

The Shield's Michael Jace Charged with Homicide After Wife Shot to Death
Michael Jace, best known for his role on The Shield, has been charged with homicide after allegedly shooting his wife April at her south Los Angeles home on Monday evening (May 19).
The 48-year-old actor was booked early this morning and taken into custody by the police, CNN reports.
It is still unclear why his 40-year-old wife was shot to death.
Besides for his work on The Shield, Michael has also had roles on television shows including Southland, Private Practice, The Mentalist, Burn Notice and NYPD Blue.
Our thoughts go out to April's family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Eden Found?
By John Van Auken
Imagine an archaeological site that predates ancient Egypt by 9000 years, dating to the end of the Ice Age, ca. 12,000 BC, long before hunter-gatherers settled into farming. Imagine that you also found objects of high artistic skill and metaphorical significance to equal those of the much later Egyptian culture. How would you reconcile this with our evolutionary timeline? How would you explain nomadic hunter-gatherers devoting the time and energy to build a multi-level, architecturally sophisticated structure? This is the challenge facing archaeologists today. One does not have to imagine such a site because the site has been found. It is called Gobekli Tepe (pronounced Go-beckly Tepp-ay). It is located between the biblical Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Sanliurfa, Turkey (ancient Urfa, the original Ur of the Chaldees, where Abraham was born). Some archaeologists suspect this site to be none other than the biblical Eden, or at least a sacred temple in ancient Eden.
"Gobekli Tepe changes everything," says Ian Hodder of Stanford University.
Photo Wikipedia Teomancimit
David Lewis-Williams, professor of archaeology at Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, says, "Gobekli Tepe is the most important archaeological site in the world."
Andrew Collins, A.R.E. author (Beneath the Pyramids, The New Circlemakers) and speaker, said, "Gobekli Tepe was clearly utilized as a place of veneration and perhaps communication with supernatural entities and domains. This is accepted by the main excavator, Dr. Klaus Schmidt of the German Archaeological Institute of Istanbul. Curiously, in the Turkish language, Gobekli Tepe means 'hill of the navel,' suggestive of the site's former role as an important religious center."
The site has been carbon-dated to 12,000 to 13,000 BC. The building dates to between 10,000 and 11,000 BC—Edgar Cayce's 10,500 BC period! Scientists date Stonehenge to around 3,000 BC and the Egyptian Giza plateau monuments to around 2,500 BC. To help us grasp just how impossible this is for archaeologists, this dating predates all other sites on the planet by 7000 years. It predates settled human life, writing, pottery making, and structure building.
Amazingly, the site is filled with megalithic stone structures in the shape of a T, upon which are carved all manner of animals and mysterious images. Some of the stones are shaped like the human body. It's as if the gods came down from heaven, or aliens from another planet, and built Gobekli Tepe when humans were cavemen. And that is exactly what some researchers are saying. In chapter six of Genesis, it is written that there were at this ancient time humans ("man"), the "sons of God," and the Nephilim (offspring of the gods and human women, considered to be giants). The Book of Enoch tells of "Watchers" who came among humans giving them the forbidden arts and sciences of heaven. Legends of Sumeria speak of gods called Annunaki coming among humanity and providing them with the rudiments of civilization. Collins says, "I believe there is strong evidence to suggest that the Watchers, and their offspring, the Nephilim, were indeed the shamanic elite that founded the early Neolithic cult centers of Upper Mesopotamia."
Interestingly, this area and the larger region surrounding it became the cradle of agriculture. Worldwide wheat species descend from einkorn wheat, first cultivated on the hills near Gobekli Tepe. Rye and oats also originated here.
Shockingly, archaeologists announced that the occupants of Gobekli Tepe buried the entire site before they left, around 8,000 BC, filling every room, every passageway, and outer courtyard with tons of dirt—a feat almost as remarkable as the buildings and sculptures. The site lay hidden until 1994, when a Kurdish shepherd noticed the tops of several stone megaliths exposed on the unusual hill.
John Van Auken is an international speaker and author on a variety of topics from mystical spirituality and ancient civilizations to modern life. Popular with A.R.E. audiences throughout the country, he has written many books, including Edgar Cayce's Tales of Ancient Egypt; Ancient Egyptian Mysticism; and From Karma to Grace: The Power of the Fruits of the Spirit. John's extensive knowledge of the Edgar Cayce readings, the Bible ancient Egypt, and other world religions is combined with years of practical application of these truths in his own life. His exciting presentations are packed with useful information combined with insightful and revealing stories. His clear step-by-step techniques give practical tools for ongoing development, self-training, and spiritual enlightenment. He travels extensively, conducting seminars and retreats throughout the U.S. and abroad including A.R.E.'s annual Tour of Egypt.

Jennifer Velez smiles and drops her head into her hand when she eyes the large framed baby photos of her two children that sit on top of a file cabinet. Those pictures make it seem like she still has babies, she says with a laugh, when in fact they're now in ninth and seventh grade.
The framed preschool-era art projects and newspaper clippings on her wall are slightly tilted. She grabs the corner of one and straightens it, laughing as she laments the fact that her office is a bit of a mess.
The coffee table is a little dusty. The piles of paperwork on her desk are a mile high. Her outbox is empty. Her inbox is full of files. But when your job is to run New Jersey's Department of Human Services, hands down the largest agency in the state, the general condition of your office is the furthest thing from your mind.
"We're always here. A lot of us are. We're here; we're available all the time," Velez said. "Inevitably, just from the institution perspective, something happens — I was going to say nearly every day but really every day — that I need to be aware of."
For the past seven years, Velez has been at the helm of Human Services, serving as commissioner through both Democratic and Republican administrations. That puts her in charge of an $11 billion budget, one she is managing as the department wades through a time of significant change.
And it's the reason she is in the No. 1 spot on the NJBIZ Health Care Power 50.
The department has taken responsibility for seniors in recent years. The state is making a controversial push to close more state-run institutions, putting the focus on keeping the elderly and disabled in the community. And the Affordable Care Act has meant major shifts when it comes to Medicaid in the state.
In short, the job is a huge responsibility — one Velez takes very seriously and one that still leaves her in a state of disbelief at just how far she's come.
When Velez was very young, her family depended on welfare and food stamps. Her mother had divorced her father and found herself suddenly a single mom with two mouths to feed. They didn't need the help forever, but for a while, it was vital.
Her mother eventually remarried, and the newly minted family no longer needed public assistance. But things still weren't easy.Velez's teenage years were spent in a Moonachie trailer park. She went to Wood-Ridge High School, where her classmates almost never talked about college. Her neighbor across the street was a prostitute.
Back then, all of that was motivation, for Velez to work hard and make for herself a better life. It wasn't until she joined the state Department of Human Services, which administers those life-sustaining services, that she realized all that hardship had groomed her for a very tough job.
"I think that was probably an instructive part of my life," she said. "You just learn to grow up with no judgment about anybody and their circumstances."
When she graduated Wood-Ridge High, her guidance counselor suggested she go to Drew University in Madison because a few former students had gone there in the past.
Velez spent those years studying — she majored in economics — and working. She cleaned office buildings, worked at the mall, held a job in the student housing office. Fear was a real motivating factor: She was scared of not being able to finish college. And she was scared of what that might mean for her life in the real world.
When she did finish, she spent a disappointing year in the underwriting department of an insurance company before going on to Rutgers Law School. She practiced labor and employment law in the firm now known as Day Pitney. But it wasn't a fit.
She didn't know what she wanted to do, but she knew she hadn't found it yet.
One Sunday, Velez picked up a copy of the Sunday Star-Ledger and read a profile on Bill Waldman. At the time, he was the longest serving commissioner in the history of the Department of Human Services.
The profile showed her a job that was all about working with people who needed help, people like Velez when she was just a girl in a Moonachie trailer park.
"I remember asking my husband, 'Who does that sound like?' And he said, 'It sounds like you,'" Velez recalled.
Velez made a few calls and landed an interview with John Farmer, who was then chief counsel under Gov. Christine Whitman — a position in an office Velez had never heard of but one she thought could be a foot in the door of state government.
"He asked the obvious question, 'Why do you want to work in counsel's office?'" Velez said. "I didn't have a great answer because I had never really heard of the office. But I said, 'This sounds corny, but I really want to make a difference. And he said, 'That's perfect because that's why I came to Trenton.'"
She got the job — and asked to be assigned to Human Services.
Raymond Castro, who worked with Velez when she was in the counsel's office, said her commitment to the job was evident even then.
"One thing that stands out, she was just enormously committed to vulnerable people," said Castro, now a senior policy analyst with New Jersey Policy Perspective. "And that shows in what she does. I believe she's an attorney. She could get a lot of better paying jobs elsewhere."
Velez moved into the role of deputy commissioner in 2006 and was confirmed as commissioner in 2007.
Over the past seven years, Velez has maintained that reputation of being a passionate advocate for those she serves, even when the issues at hand are controversial.
One of those issues has been the push for more in-home care, both for the developmentally disabled and for seniors.
Evelyn Liebman, associate state director for advocacy for the AARP, said Velez led the push at the federal level to get approval for a comprehensive waiver that will give seniors access to services and support that will keep them in the community and out of nursing homes, whenever possible.
"It's an example of how she is accessible. She responds to good information and figures out a way to operationalize the changes that need to happen to actually reform the system," Liebman said. "She's a true believer, I would say, when it comes to supporting people's desire to stay in their homes and in their communities."
That same commitment is playing out in Velez's work with the intellectually and developmentally disabled. This year, the state is closing two developmental centers, North Jersey Developmental Center in July and Woodbridge Developmental Center in December.
That reflects an effort — one Velez champions — to keep more of those with disabilities in the community, when possible.
"The least restrictive environment would mean that even someone who is completely nonverbal and has serious self-care challenges can still be served in a group home, can make some preference selections about bedding and what they like to do during the day," she said.
And Velez said she's seen that model work.
Not too long ago, she visited a group home in Union County. One of the residents there had limited verbal skills, but he absolutely had preferences about his room. So Velez spent the day helping him hang pictures on his walls.
"He had choices," Velez said. "It was his room. So it was really good to be a part of that, and he really felt a lot of ownership about it. That was a great day."
But there are hard days, too, and the long ones.
Most of them start around 6:20 a.m., when Velez wakes up and immediately checks her email. She's on calls starting at around 8 a.m., if not before, and that continues throughout the day. At times in her career, she's made a habit of lingering in the office until 9 or 10 at night. In fact, one of the framed pictures on her walls includes a handwritten note from her daughter.
"I think it says, 'Dear Mommy, can you call me when you're on the Turnpike?' Parenting by phone," she said, shaking her head at the memory.
She's made changes since then. Every weekend over the winter, she escapes with her family to the Catskills for snowshoeing, skiing and snowboarding.
During the week, she tries to leave the office around 7 p.m. these days, while still keeping her Blackberry close. She hates the fact that she struggles to put it down, even during family time. But the way she describes it, the work of the department never ends. Something happens literally every day, something that seriously impacts the well-being of one of the thousands her department serves. So when she sees the email notification light on her cell, she's compelled to check it.
"(My kids) understand what the department does, and that for them has been helpful — and for me — because they know that I never choose work over them. But work is very important, so they understand how it fits into their lives," she said. "They're my top priority, but they know the job is demanding."

The chef behind Marrakech and Mediterranean Café returns with Kasbah
Sergio Salvador salvadorphoto.com
Longtime Albuquerque favorite Ridha Bouajila is back making Moroccan, Tunisian and Mediterranean specialties like tagine and bastilla. He's over in that spot at Central and Monroe that's perpetually haunted by short-lived restaurants like Guicho's, Don Yasmany Cuban Restaurant and Bakery and Country Vittles ... and remember Punjab? Here's hoping Kasbah bucks the trend. And from the sounds of it, Bouajila will.

The following article provides information on how to identify and resolve issue with input devices on a Dell Desktop PC.
Input Devices is another name for desktop peripherals such as the Keyboard and Mouse, that allow you to control and input information to your PC.
Keyboards and mice can be Wired or Wireless. The connectors can be USB or Din.
(Fig.1 External Keyboard and Mouse)
I'll take you through some common issues and the quickest troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve those issues.
The common issues with input devices are things like:
The troubleshooting below will take you through identifying and then narrowing down the issue, to help resolve the problem.
Check the Device for damage. Are there any signs of a liquid spill? Are there any parts broken off? Do all buttons and keys cleanly depress when pushed and rebound and function?
If there is damage you will need to look at replacing the device. If the damage is with the system, you will be looking at a charge for the PC to be repaired.
If there is no damage then proceed to the next step.
Swap the device to another system. Does the same thing happen there? If you plug another device to your system do you see the same issue?
If the fault follows the device, then you need to replace the device.
If the fault stays with the system with a known good working device plugged up, then carry on with section 2 step 3.
If the fault is seen on both systems, go to section 2 step 5 or contact your support to take it further.
If the fault isn't seen on either machine, then it was a connection issue and should be resolved by a reseat.
If its an intermittent issue then go to section 2 step 4.
If you don't have a similar known good device or another system you can test the device on then proceed to section 3 step 1.
If the fault was that the keyboard wasn't detected on Boot and stayed with the system. Press either the F2 or F12 keys rapidly at the Dell Splash Screen. Does the system enter the BIOS or the boot once menu?
If it does then the issue is with your OS. Go to section 3 step 1.
If it doesn't then the issue is outside of the OS. Try the device in another port (Most desktops have USB ports on both the front and the rear of the PC. Make sure to test both the front and the back Ports.) If that resolves the issue then contact your support about an issue with a particular port to take the issue further.
If the issue is intermittent does moving the devices wire while it's still plugged to the system affect how the device functions?
If so and the device is fine on another system, then it's a loose port. Contact your support to report the issue.
If so and the device is the same on another system, then replace the device.
Try a different type of device such as a hard drive, USB pen drive, phone or camera in the same ports that your original device fails in. Are the new devices picked up correctly and do they work as expected?
If they do then the issue is most likely a compatibility issue with your device. I would advise you contact the supplier of the original device.
If not then contact your support to take this further.
The first software troubleshooting step is usually to rule the Operating System (OS) out of the issue. We need to do this if the fault stays with the system, regardless of the port the device is plugged to or if you have been unable to test with known good parts. I'll also give some intermediate steps you can try to recover from any issues, but you will need to decide if it's quicker and easier for you to rule out the OS or go through the intermediate steps.
You can rule out the OS by two way swapping the Hard Drive and seeing if the fault follows the drive or stays with the unit? If you don't have a known good system or hard drive to test with, then the next step is to recover or reinstall your Operating system. Alternatively you can boot from an Ubuntu Live CD and see if the same issue is seen? I would advise checking the user manual for your system type, for instructions on removing and fitting parts. If you don't have an Ubuntu Live CD you can download an ISO from the link below. To boot from a CD tap rapidly on the F12 key at the Dell splash screen and select the correct option from the Boot once menu.
(Fig.2 Dell Boot Once Menu)
If the fault is seen when booting from the live CD or from a known good working Hard Drive, then contact your support to take this further.
The fault isn't seen on the live CD or works fine with a known good working Hard Drive installed. Proceed with the guide to restore or reinstall your OS.
If the troubleshooting points to your OS and you have the time to troubleshoot the Software further, you can try these steps before restoring or reinstalling your OS.
If you are experiencing input device issues there are several steps you can try before the last resort of a OS reinstall. The first step would be to try a system restore. I've listed guides below for each OS possible. Please take the system back to a date before the input issues started. Does this resolve your issue?
Yes, then your issue is resolved.
No, then proceed to the section 3 step 3.
Go to your Control Panel and then open Device Manager. Uninstall the appropriate Driver from your PC, then go to the Dell Support Site and download and install the latest driver listed for your device. If it's a USB device then you will want to delete and recreate the USB Hub instead. (Right click on each USB hub and select uninstall. Reboot the system to recreate the Hubs.) Does this resolve the issue?
Yes, then your issue is resolved.
No, then proceed to section 3 step 4.
Go into the input device properties in Control Panel. Make sure everything is set to defaults and that nothing is set to disabled. Ensure your device is correctly listed and is reported as being in a working condition. does this resolve your issue?
Yes, then your issue is resolved.
No, then proceed to section 3 step 5.
If you are still experiencing issues at this point, then I'm afraid the next step is to reinstall the OS. This can be done either from restoring factory settings or using your installation media. . Please ensure you've backed up everything you want to keep to an external source. Please make sure you have all your serial and Product ID's handy for any software reinstallation. You can find a link below to articles taking you through the various processes for whichever OS you have on your System.
You can contact our Technical Support online through Chat, Twitter or Email, or you can give us a call on your local support number. If you have any questions that weren't answered by this article, please let us know.

The ESAA is a recognised place of deposit for public records and also the NERC Environmental data centre for Earth Sciences. It involves those engaged in any part of a project, from applying for a research grant, through the data collection, and to the preparation of the data for deposit in the archive.
ESAA's guidelines are constantly evolving as they reflect NERC Data Policy and best practice and experience gained from other organisations, professionals and specialists.
Researchers can contact ESAA at any time to discuss their plans with respect to the selection and preparation of datasets.
If you have received a research grant from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), you are required to offer all relevant data resulting from your research for deposit with the ESAA. This includes models software and any specimens.
Many investigators are more than willing to make their data available to others, but are unsure of how to go about preparing data for outside use, particularly in terms of complete documentation.
The ESAA Guidelines for depositors is intended to help researchers document their datasets and prepare them for archival deposit.
By evaluating data offered for deposit, the ESAA ensures that its collection consists of high quality and well-documented datasets. This provides depositors with tangible evidence of the quality of their work, and leads to recognition of the effort involved in the creation of digital data.
Datasets deposited with the ESAA may be promoted to potential users through publicity, workshops, and the online catalogue. Depositors will also receive recognition and citation for their datasets as they are incorporated into future geological research and teaching.
Q: When do you need to contact the ESAA about archiving your dataset?
A: As soon as possible!
The ESAA will provide advice and assistance on the best way to collect and document records and what would be appropriate for final deposit in the archive. The ways in which you create and document your research will affect the value of that research, the worth of the data and how or even if, it can be preserved and re-used.
If you are working on a research grant from NERC the proper management of the data is considered to be part of the project and failure to deal adequately with this aspect may lead to failure or the withholding of funds for future research.
By contacting the ESAA you can gain professional advice and guidance to help you maximise your data-creation efforts and design your recording systems. Although in general the type of research will influence the recording systems used, the ESAA can provide some basic software and recording schemes.
Remember you don't have to wait until your research is completed. Arrangements can be made to deposit data before the end of the project.

The Dallas Cowboys had another mediocre season, losing to the Washington Redskins on Sunday night with a playoff berth on the line. Former Cowboys Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin, now analysts for the NFL Network, had some strong words for Tony Romo, whose tenure as the Cowboys' quarterback has been disappointing.
In his career, Romo is now 1-6 for the Cowboys with the playoffs on the line.
"[Cowboys owner] Jerry Jones said it earlier, if you're not in the playoffs, it's not a successful season," Irvin said. "I'm never going to say 8-8 is a success, not a guy who holds three rings. Playing hard is good. Winning is better. You watch all these guys, Robert Griffin III, Eli Manning, Michael Vick -- these are top quarterbacks, drafted in top spots, they know and feel like they belong in that situation. Tony Romo is the only undrafted QB in the East and sometimes, in those moments, he feels like, 'I have to prove to everybody I belong here,' and tries to do so much and that gets him into trouble."
Sanders was equally hard on Romo.
"How many times are we going to sit here as fans and say, 'Here we go again?' " Sanders said. "I love to win at all costs. 1-6 in elimination games, that's telling me something is not getting better around here. The kind of person I am, I need to jump off and try to correct this thing.... I can't put this one thing all on Tony. But Tony brings me to the same situation at the conclusion of every year. Take a picture, this date, and see if we're playing the same picture next year. We always think it's going to get better, but it's the same-old same-old."

We asked and you responded
Here are your responses to last week's question: "Car alarms go off all over the city each day and are often false alarms with most people ignoring them. Do you think the devices are effective?"
"Car alarms may have been effective a few years ago, but I don't believe they are anymore. I use my panic button a lot to find my car in the parking lot."
Other calls
"Oh for the good old days when you could pick up the telephone book and find a name in it without all the jumbled up mess we have now."
"I went to Tybee, got a meter with three hours and got a ticket because the corner of my parking permit was covered. I now realize the difference between Tybee's police and the Gestapo."
"If you wonder what kind of treatment you will get from government health care, just take a look at the veteran's hospital."
"It may be a great time to buy a car, but every time I think about how much my ad valorem tax will increase, my 11-year-old car looks better and better."
"County commissioners: Opening a new library is not a 'recurring' expense."
"When are we going to have the 200-person rally for Officer MacPhail?"
"If people are so afraid and allergic to dogs, common sense should tell them to stay out of harms way."
"Please do not fly American flags that are tattered and full of holes. Don't let them get wrapped and knotted around the flagpoles. It saddens me and sickens me to see our flag displayed in this manner. I'm a young woman under the age of 25, so don't brand me as some old fogy."
"In the $1 million proposed bonuses for Chatham County employees, how much would Russ Abolt receive?"

Yosemite Visitors Warned Of Hantavirus Outbreak
Some tourists hoping to visit Yosemite National Park are changing their plans due to the recent outbreak of hantavirus. State health officials say two people have died and another four were infected after visiting the park this summer. There are questions about whether the park should have warned visitors sooner about the risk.
The long Labor Day weekend means camping trips for many people, but some hoping to visit Yosemite National Park are changing their plans because of an outbreak of hantavirus, a rodent-borne disease. State health officials now say two people have died. Another four were infected after visiting the park this summer. As KQED's Lauren Sommer reports, there are new questions about whether the park should have warned visitors about the risk.
LAUREN SOMMER, BYLINE: Anna Bonderenko and her husband were looking forward to taking their two small kids to Yosemite for the first time.
ANNA BONDERENKO: It's one of our favorite spots to go to, and my husband and I hadn't been in a long time.
SOMMER: They booked tent cabins in Yosemite Valley for this weekend with another San Francisco family. Then, they started hearing news reports about hantavirus.
BONDERENKO: It really raised a lot of questions for us since kids tend to touch everything and put their hands in their mouths.
SOMMER: Bonderenko opted for a weekend in Lake Tahoe instead. And it seems like some other potential visitors are following suit.
SCOTT GEDIMAN: There certainly are cancellations, but as people cancel, you know, people are coming without reservations and filling them.
SOMMER: Scott Gediman is a spokesman for Yosemite National Park. At least four park visitors who got hantavirus all stayed in insulated tent cabins in Curry Village. So, earlier this week, the park notified the 1,700 other visitors who also stayed in cabins this summer. State health officials are still investigating the circumstances of the remaining cases. The virus's flu-like symptoms can appear as many as six weeks after exposure. It's spread through contact with mice droppings, so Gediman says they've closed 91 tent cabins to retrofit them.
GEDIMAN: We're putting more wood around the base to eliminate any gaps that rodents may be able to get into. We're shoring up the windows. We're doing a lot of work.
SOMMER: Hantavirus is rare - only about 60 cases in California in the last two decades. It's even more unusual to see a cluster in one place. Epidemiologists are in the park now trying to figure out the reasons for this cluster. Yosemite had two hantavirus cases before this summer, one in 2000 and one in 2010. No one died, but it prompted California's Department of Public Health to get involved.
VICKI KRAMER: We have been to Yosemite on several occasions over the years to trap and test mice and determine if indeed they are carrying the virus.
SOMMER: Dr. Vicki Kramer says statewide, about 14 percent of deer mice have hantavirus. Her department issued recommendations to Yosemite officials two years ago about training staff in cleaning standards, which she says the park did. They also recommended putting up signs in the tent cabins warning visitors to avoid mouse droppings. That didn't happen, says park spokesman Scott Gediman, because the risk was thought to be so low.
GEDIMAN: The point of a national park is for people to experience nature, so we certainly want visitors to know of any potential hazards. But at the same time we don't feel that, you know, signs everywhere warning of everything is either, A, practical or, B, is going to change behavior of visitors.
SOMMER: The park is warning visitors now.
FRANK DYER: It's a Deuter, German pack. Really great pack, very good quality.
SOMMER: At a San Francisco camping store, Frank Dyer says fears about hantavirus haven't come up much as he's helped customers during the pre-Labor Day rush.
DYER: I talked to one customer about backpacking in the area. He says, I'm not worried about it.
SOMMER: At 70 years old, Dyer has been visiting Yosemite for most of his life. He says you have put danger in perspective.
DYER: If you were to climb Half Dome, OK, your chances of dying are probably three million to one over getting, you know, the virus. But you never know.
SOMMER: A good outdoorsman, he says, is always educated about risk.

Despite dire predictions that teacher shortages will impact classrooms of the future, over 800 potential teachers will be able to explore fulfilling teaching careers through an outreach program between Texas A&M International University and Laredo Community College.
Make the Connection" is the theme of an Open House scheduled Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 6 p.m. at TAMIU's Center for the Fine and Performing Arts auditorium.
Caroline Hickle, director of the Community College Teacher Center, explained that the opportunity expands on the strong linkage between both higher education institutions.
'Make the Connection' is a chance for the large number of LCC transfer students considering teaching as a career to themselves establish a link with the University's College of Education to help ease their transition into teacher preparation programs," she explained. "With state guidelines, testing and standards in place, this can be a daunting experience. Our efforts through 'Make the Connection' are designed to help students anticipate the process and prepare themselves accordingly."
The evening program will afford students with opportunities to get an extensive overview of programs available at the College of Education and meet with faculty members and staff members that will be working with students to help them to realize their dreams of teaching.
We've prepared both a formal and informal program including presentations by our College of Education faculty and an opportunity to attend a social at the College of Education afterwards. We think the evening will provide students with the answers they need to proceed and, of course establish some vital connections," she said.
TAMIU's College of Education has historically helped to bring the majority of the area's teaching professionals into classrooms for over 34 years, she reminded.
That history and the University's long-standing partnerships with area school districts and links to state accrediting agencies such as the State Board for Educator Certification and others, creates a rich and relevant learning and teaching environment, she noted.
The College of Education offers nine undergraduate degrees and seven graduate degrees. Endorsements and professional certificate programs are also available in various fields. A collaborative Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction is offered with Texas A&M University.
For additional information on College of Education's Open House- "Making the Connection," please contact Hickle at 721-5346; visit offices on the LCC campus in University Hall 211 at TAMIU in Student Center 128 ON FRIDAYS, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

With Android 4.0, Google delivered a mobile operating system that was suited for all screen sizes. As we have already explored, you can almost replace your PC with an Android device, but there are still some things that Google needs to improve upon.
Google could target the desktop computing experience with Android 5.0, according to the latest patents discovered by Jack Purcher of PatentlyApple.
In the patent overview Google claims that their Android operating system has been designed for a touchscreen user interface and it may be beneficial to have it "implemented on more traditional devices, such as a desktop, netbook or laptop device that include physical keyboards and/or pointing devices, such as trackpad devices."
We agree 100 percent. So does Ubuntu.
Android 4.0 already works quite well with a standard mouse, but the touchpad support is limited. Thankfully this latest patent describes multi-touch events like two-finger scrolling, pinch to zoom, and flinging content.
It will be interesting to see how Google implements trackpad support, but it appears that an Android smartphone or tablet could function as the trackpad when content is displayed on an external display. Some Android applications already allow you to convert your Android device into a mouse and keyboard for your PC, so it will be interesting to see how Google improves upon this.
With Google's acquisition of Motorola almost complete, this could have interesting implications for Motorola's webtop application that allows a smartphone to drive a desktop PC experience. Some have speculated that Google will implement webtop-like features into Android 5.0, which is something I have been predicting since last year.
One thing is for sure, Google clearly wants to bring their Android OS to as many devices as possible. Windows still has 70-80% market share on all web clients depending on the source, but smartphone sales already overtook client PCs in 2011, and that trend will continue to accelerate. In the next couple of years, we could see Android overtake Windows as the dominant operating system.
What areas of Android would you like to see Google improve upon before you would give up your desktop or laptop operating systems?

Type: PO1 AG03949
Principal Investigator: R. Lipton (Project leader: J. Verghese)
Agency: National Institute on Aging
The ability to walk independently is a marker of successful aging. Disturbances in gait and mobility in older persons are associated with diseases of the nervous system, and may serve as early warning signs of adverse outcomes such as falls, nursing home placement, and dementia. The overall goal of the Gait and Mobility Project is to define walking patterns and mobility changes seen with normal aging as well as with disease in older persons.
Subjects who participate in this project will be assessed using tests of mobility, strength, walking skills, and ability to walk and talk at the same time. These tests are designed to examine balance and study the brain centers involved in the control of walking. We will also correlate the information gained from these tests with information gained from other aspects of the study including neuropsychological testing and laboratory data.

Kate Middleton Goes Camping: Some Photos
Kate Middleton always seems a little more comfortable when she's doing something sporty spice, like playing field hockey or, like she did over the weekend, going camping. Kate hit up a campsite with a group of eight and nine-year-old kids who are part of a charity backed by Prince William and Prince Harry, and she looked totally at ease. Here's how it went:

Fantastic painting ! Chimpanzee's are such wonderful animals.... really great work !
This painting is marvelous! Your work is an inspiration to me, Barbara. I have attempted to create this effect with composite photo images, but haven't achieved your degree of success.
Actually I should have said animal expert as all your images of animals are very well done
nice detail on the chimps Barbara. You have really captured their expression. A friend asked me to paint a capuchin for her so have been practicing. Please take a look at all 3 and let me know what you think as the very talented monkey expert:).
ciao Barbara,i love your style. thank you
I have to say, this is my favortie of your primate works. Those faces are just so expressive, and unbelievable cute. Who could not love these guys. Outstanding work.
So sweet and so wonderfully painted. I love their faces!
Your paintings of apes are amazing. Their faces are so expressive. If only an artist of your talent had traveled with Darwin.

05-19-17: Due to the injury of my index finger I can no longer work the hours I used to so I'm working on very short timelines.

Bear with me, I will post anything new as I finish them. Also, I would like to let all the groups that I belong to know that I'm trying to catch up on everything - considering I lost about a year in total where I really couldn't do much. Sorry for the influx. 07-07-16: Will be absent again due to a torn tendon in my right hand (index finger). Will be gone for at least 8 weeks 04-09-16: I just want to let every one know that I will probably be absent...

Do you support Apple Mac OS X?
Apple Mac OS X 10.7 or higher can be used for accessing content but not for burning a Video-DVD. If the Video-DVD has already been burned, it can be played back on MacOS X.
Do you support Linux?
Linux computers can not be used for download or convert but they can be used to play the burned Video-DVD (depending on the purchased license).
What is the "My Content" function?
The "My Content" function in the shop guides you to accessing your purchased or rented content. Even if your device breaks down and you have to switch to a different device you can access the content by following directions in the "My Content" function.
Why do I need to specify an email and password when I buy?
You can use the email and password to login to "My Content" and the player. This allows you to access and manage the content you have purchased.
Is the content DRM protected?
Content can be sold with and without DRM protection. Whether a specific piece of content has DRM applied to it you can see from the license options in the product details.
Can I access content everywhere and as often and as long as I want?
If you purchased a "to own" license" and have completely downloaded the content, you can view the content as often as you want for as long as you want… even without an internet connection. If your license also includes a burn option for DVD-Video, you can use the burned disc on as many computers, devices and/or DVD-Players you want.
Can I access content on my portable device?
Yes, content can also be accessed on Apple iOS ( at least version 8) and Android ( at least version 2.3) devices. Depending on the license also other devices may be supported.
Can I burn a Video-DVD?
Not every product can be burned. Burning a Video-DVD works under Windows (see system requirements) with every standard DVD burner and empty DVD media. In order to burn make sure you order a license that includes the "burn" option.
Can I use content on multiple computers and other devices?
This depends on the license you order. See the license options on the product details page for more information.
Can I burn content multiple times?

This means the video is encoded in H.264 high profile which is the same encoding used for BluRay players. Audio is kept in original AC-3 from the DVD. The quality of SD is about the quality of DVDs while HD is closer to the quality of BluRays.
Do I need to download the content before I can use it?
No. If your internet connection is fast enough you can start accessing the content seconds after the download starts.
How long does the download and burn process take?
The time depends on a lot of factors starting from the size of the film to the internet connection and computer speed for transcoding the movie to DVD.

No. Disconnects are handled automatically and loading the missing data is tried again.
Do you require software to be installed on my device to access the content?
Yes, in order to handle the content and enable a smooth download, play and burn, the purchase process will automatically guide you through the software installation process. The software is signed for security and constantly checked against viruses and other malicious software.
Do I get an invoice for my purchase?
Yes. Once the purchase completes you will receive an email with the invoice.
How will this show up on my credit card bill?
This will show up on your credit card bill as indicated during the purchase process.

To whom it may concern:
I would like to create a flashcard set using Anki that would be available for anyone using Pharr's Homeric Greek. There is one part that is slow going for me due to my internet connection and ability: the image searching. If the small community here would be able to help, I do believe that everyone using Pharr's would benefit greatly. Here is what I need help finding: copyright free images that can be used to help with vocabulary, if possible, images depicting classical poems, plays, and stories (e.g. for μῆνις Charles Antoine's Fury of Achilles as one of the images). If no one's able to help, then the project will be very slow going as my energies are mostly devoted to some other languages at the moment; even so I will post each chapter as I get progress.
Another thing: If anyone has sound files of proper (whatever that may be ) reconstructed Homeric Greek, I could also incorporate those!

I covered the University of Miami football team in the mid-to-late 1980s when they were rolling to the point they had more talent than today's Dolphins. (It's not an argument so don't even think about it because today's Dolphins don't have anyone the caliber of Jerome Brown, Michael Irvin, Bennie Blades, Brett Perriman, Vinny Testaverde, Brian Blades, Russell Maryland, Cortez Kennedy, Melvin Bratton, Alonzo Highsmith, Dan Sileo and others.)
Anyway, one of the rituals the I and other reporters covering those Canes had to endure was listening to Jimmy Johnson and later Dennis Erickson gush about how dangerous or deceptively good clearly overmatched, no-chance-having teams like East Carolina or Cincinnati or San Jose State really were if you looked really deep down and studied their tape really, really hard.
Those coaches were simply trying to convince the media, and by extension, their players that the team they were about to murder should not be underestimated.
Well, I've gone from covering that University of Miami team back then to East Carolina today.
That's right. This week the Dolphins are playing the role of East Carolina or San Jose State to the New York Giants' version of those former day Canes.
NYG coach Tom Coughlin has apparently taken a page out of the old coaching handbook and tried to convince his team the Dolphins are really, really good if you grab a microscope and study them for a long time.
"'Respect all and fear none' is the approach we take," Coughlin said. "What we are trying to do is be concerned with our team and making sure that our team takes our execution to another level. We want to eliminate any lull in our play."
Coughlin is basically trying to keep his team from being bored by the prospect of playing the winless Dolphins. He's trying to make sure his team doesn't play down to the opposition. He's trying to make sure his team plays its game and if it does, there is no way they can lose.
The message is obviously resonating in the New York locker room where quarterback Eli Manning is repeating the marching orders for the week:
"[Miami] could easily have several wins," Manning said. "Little things have prevented them from winning some tight games. A lot of them have come down to the wire. They've played teams tight. They've played hard. They have a lot of talent. A lot of teams have had trouble with them."
The Dolphins have a lot of talent?
Could that talent be at quarterback, where Matt Moore last year helped the Carolina Panthers secure a record good enough to have the first pick in this year's draft?
Could that talent be at running back, where Reggie Bush has never been the impact player he was billed to become coming out of college as the No. 2 pick in the draft?
Could that great talent be responsible for Miami's 0-6 record?
Let's face it, folks, the Dolphins have become something worse than a league-wide joke. They've become a team other teams have to lie about to make it seem like they'll be challenged. They've become a team opposing coaches fear their players will dismiss or overlook.
That is not, by the way, a badge of distinction.
If you look at the Giants, coming off a bye, getting healthy, in first place in the NFC East, the situation seems almost hopeless for Miami. I felt the Dolphins had a better chance of winning the opener against New England than they do of winning Sunday.
Before the opener, at least, people believed the Dolphins defense could contain New England. People had hope Miami's quarterback could put up points because he'd shown promise in the preseason.
Where do these Dolphins give hope now?
Better said, to size up the current state of Miami's football fortunes try to complete this sentence in the comments section:
"The Dolphins can beat the Giants on Sunday if ..........."
I love reading good fiction.
