Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will miss Sunday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens because of a concussion he suffered last week, a league source told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. The development will force Dennis Dixon -- who has thrown only one pass in two NFL seasons -- to make his first NFL start in a game the Steelers might need to win to make the playoffs.
This is good news for Bronco fans, if Denver wants to make the playoffs the more the Steelers and Jaguars loose the better. The Baltimore Ravens lick their chops while preparing for the second year quarterback.

Last week there was a discussion about forgiveness. Forgiveness is done not for the other person, but for yourself. That is something I have heard and experienced a few times in my life; however, last week there was a conversation that really stuck with me. Forgiveness is about your relationship with God and ultimately it is between you and him. That is something I hadn't really considered. We are called to forgive. Therefore whether I forgive will ultimately effect my relationship with Christ.
This is the other thing that stuck: You may not have it in you to forgive. You literally may not have the feelings necessary to forgive. You literally don't feeling like doing it. That gave me so much freedom.
This is a journey that is between me and God, which means I am able to be honest and say "I don't have it in me." I can tell God, "I don't feel like forgiving. I literally cannot feel what it takes." I can come broken. I can come stubborn. I can come honest. I can come repenting and begging for help and every time he welcomes me back.
Tonight I am struggling with anger. Anytime there is conflict and injustice the rage comes streaming back. Anytime I see my sisters fighting to feel love and acceptance from our own mother I am sickened.
I am taking time to blog and open up to God via this little slot on the internet so I am able to process some of my anger and know that forgiveness is something that is between him and I. I don' have what it takes to forgive tonight, but I do have the desire to obey and build a stronger relationship with him.
So I think in this moment, it begins with honesty. I want to obey. I want this ache in my chest to go away. The anger I feel is only killing me. I don't want to forgive, but I want to obey.
It begins with honesty.

Well it sure has been difficult using blogger this week. I can't even seem to load my pictures. So it's just crazy!!! I will be asking Judi or Nancy to load them for me. I tried to get Google Chrome on my computer and that didn't work out either. This computer must not be new enough or it has to do with the XP.
This weeks sponsor is Tiddily Inks. I just had to have this adorable image. Don't you think this little girl holding the package is just so sweet? I was looking for paper with packages on it but nothing struck my fancy. So I decided to used this adorable pink and orange. Tiddily Inks is giving away $10 Gift Certificate to Christy's Store this week. You will want to bug on over and check out her store.

Sopcast is a P2P (peer-to-peer) software, meaning the stream is being shared in real time on a P2P network by you and other viewers. For more information about P2P and HTTP technologies, see our FAQ.
Sopcast is considered by many to be the best and most reliable software to stream sports on, although it may require a certain know-how to get the best experience.
Note: It has come to our attention that Chrome likes to pretend Sopcast is bad software. We assure you that it's not. We use it ourselves to watch internet-TV. However, be extra careful during the installation, as they may trick you into installing other software or toolbars.
By far, the most common issue with Sopcast is that channels go offline just before kickoff. Unfortunately the only way to overcome this is to start watching earlier, as when the channel goes offline, viewers which had already opened the link can still watch.
Another common issue with Sopcast is that sometimes channels would get stuck at "Connecting to Channel" or "Cannot retrieve data".
To overcome this, enter the Sopcast settings and uncheck "Run only one instance of Sopcast". Now, go back to your link and open it ten times (we are not kidding). At least one of them should work nicely. You can close the rest!
If you are at work, you are probably out of luck. It is likely your network administrator has disabeld P2P entirely, or some protocols required for Sopcast to work.
If you are at home, try to disable your firewall, or add Sopcast to the list of allowed software.
You can open multiple Sopcast instances and watch different streams simultaneously by going to Sopcast options and unchecking "Run only one instance of Sopcast".
You can open Sopcast streams with an external player of your choice, by going to the settings and selecting "use my own media-player".
To maximize your chances of finding a great stream, try connecting at least 35-40 minutes before kick-off. Even if the stream gets removed, if you are connected you stay inside!

UEA Civil and Mining recently completed road works for Alcoa in Western Australia in an environmentally sensitive area of Dwellingup State Forest, 66km South of Perth. Over a 9 day period UEA used the Vermeer T1255 to level a 6km stretch of road from the intersection of Del Park and Scarp Roads near North Dandalup in order for the road to be built up and sealed at a later time. Due to the environmental constraints of operating heavy equipment within a State forest and within the boundaries of a metropolitan drinking water catchment the operation had to be performed under the strictest of ground disturbance plans which best suited the capabilities of the T1255 terrain leveller.
The gazetted road needed to be cut to sub-base level so that the designed road could be properly constructed using a loader to clear out the cut material without any chance of hitting the cap rock during the final road installation.
In order to keep the public road open with minimal disruption and to meet the guidelines laid out in the Ground Disturbance Plan the milled material needed to be graded and rolled immediately after cutting, the terrain leveller was perfectly suited to this application as the product size of the milled cap rock was perfect for laying straight back onto the road. This method of cutting the road ensured that there was nil environmental disruption to the surrounding vegetation and stockpiling material was not required.
In addition, the road works were carried out in the only Jarrah forest in the world so the spotlight was on UEA to mitigate any environmental impact. GPS guidance, excellent operator visibility and planning were key aspects in making this project a success.
Image caption: The consistent product size created by terrain levelling is ready for the following grader and roller to transform the cut road back into a drivable road with little effort.

|Fried Chicken Bao (soy milk marinated
chicken, sichuan mayo, golden kimchi,
sesame bao) £5.00
On a whim, I dragged a colleague away from her desk promptly at 11:45 on day two of BAO's doors officially opening (by my obsessive calculations, that's a generous 10 minute amble from le office and a well-timed 5 minutes wait outside the door, undoubtedly in a queue of sorts). Now, queuing for food is a pet peeve of mine (it defies everything I cherish most about accessible dining options!), but I'll make allowances for (1) new openings that promise to satisfy my seemingly unbridled catalogue of culinary cravings, and (2) anything less than a 30 minute wait...everything over this and my sensibilities begin to unravel (fear not, I have a very effective inside voice at such times!). Thankfully for all concerned, we waited only a smidgen over 5 minutes and boy, did they deliver on the food front!
|Pig Blood Cake (£3.50)
On a practical note, ordering was simple from a shopping list style ticket, the service was friendly, precise and informative; and the decor was refined, minimalist and bright. Takeaway service supposedly starts soon, so brace yourselves, I'll no doubt be returning often enough for you to know my not just my name, but my inside leg measurements and pet preferences! What a triumph.

Last week I've been at Microsoft BI Conference and I presented an interactive session about PowerPivot DAX Patterns. Unfortunately only the breakout session were recorded and available on TechEd Online. The room was full and there were probably many other people in an overflow room. I would like to thanks all the attendees of my session and you can write me (marco dot russo [at] sqlbi dot com) if you have other questions and/or feedback about the session.
The interest about PowerPivot (especially after keynote presentation) was very high and many interactive sessions were in room too small for the interested audience. I already read a lot of negative comments about that and I know that the message has been already received loud and clear by Microsoft.
That said, the material I used in the presentation is fundamentally extracted by some chapter of the book "Microsoft PowerPivot for Excel 2010: Give Your Data Meaning" we're writing in these days. The book will be available in September and you can already order it (self advertising, I know, and is not the only one in this post…).
I spent several hours discussing about the future of PowerPivot and Analysis Services. Amir Netz made some anticipation about the use of PowerPivot for Corporate BI scenarios, but it is too early to discuss it in detail, just because we don't have too much information to discuss about. By the end of the year we should have more information, as soon as a beta of SQL11 will appear. But one thing is clear at this point: we don't need to update the "Expert Cube Development with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services" very soon, because Analysis Services is here to stay and there should be no major changes in the following releases. Thus, if you still don't have it, there are no excuses now. Its content will be valid for many years and now you can also use the special 20% discount code if you order it directly on www.packtpub.com by using the discount code TechEd905 (which should be valid at least within the end of June, but maybe also later).
Well, now a technical insight to avoid a commercial-only post. DAX is here to stay and will become much more relevant in the future. It will be expanded, probably. It will be used in enterprise environment for Corporate BI. Thus, it's time to start learning DAX. If you are a SSAS developer, DAX is your next challenge. And, believe me, it's not so simple as it appears at first sight. It is much more powerful, but it also hides new complexities, especially if you are used to MDX. Take your time and start using PowerPivot to learn DAX today. You will have some homework already done when the new wave of technologies for Corporate BI will be available.

Lycopodium is one of the deepest acting remedies in homeopathy.
Lycopodium's mind is quick and deep. Sulphur's mind is quick and shallow.
It is made from the spores of the club moss. It is found across Northern Europe, and it is the oldest form of plant life on the planet. This very simple organism gives us a very deep remedy which acts like a mineral remedy. Its common name is Wolf's Claw, and club moss is completely inert in its crude state, a yellow powder which has been used for centuries to coat and colour medicinal pills.
Club moss grows alongside other mosses and ferms, also ancient plants. Millions of years ago, club moss was well over 150 feet in height, but today it is one of the smallest of plants. It relies on the other plants to enable it to produce chlorophyll, so it is inherently poor at assimilation of nutrients. It makes up for this by slow and steady growth. It is weak and not vigorous, but steady and obstinate. Its spoors have a hard coat with a soft inner pulp, and the plant requires a cool shady and solitary place to grow close to the other plants it depends upon. Club moss has slow reproductive development. It contains five fatty acids. In homeopathic potency, it is very important polycrest remedy. Lycopodium is one of the five basic constitutional remedies.
Mind: Hard shell, soft interior. Bluff and bluster. Often seen in people with a professional face which is pragmatic and intellectual, even cut off from their feelings.

Poor self confidence, angry, irritable and domineering at home, peacefull at work. Arrogant and easily offended, controlling and controlled, easily humiliated, anxiety attacks. Exhausted after worry or responsibility. Children throw tantrums at home but are complaint at school. Cowardice. Desire to escape, will run away and abandon all responsibility.

Frowning with permanent frown marks between eyes.. Early senility with gradual onset.

If a road trip ever takes you past Effingham, Illinois, you won't be able to miss the 198-foot giant cross that looms over two interstates.
And yet, did that towering symbol of her religious beliefs inspire my mother to sing a rousing chorus of "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" as we drove past it? No, indeed.
That was because at the time, she was much too busy chortling over the name "Effingham." To her, it sounded like a euphemism for THAT word—the one that, in her opinion, is the single most offensive utterance in the English language.
Labeling something "naughty" only makes it more irresistible. So from the moment we first spied an Effingham road sign, Mom sporadically repeated the name out loud, laughing anew each time. It turns out that "Effingham" is eminently glee-worthy to at least one grandmother of five.
Or maybe she'd just inhaled too many exhaust fumes that day.
One of the best ways to give student erasers a workout is to tell students to read their writing out loud. This is a surefire revision tactic; reading something out loud ensures that students will hear mistakes they have never noticed before. Or you can have students give a copy of their piece to a partner. As their partner reads it to them, the writer of the piece should listen especially for all the places where the reader stumbles, pauses too long, or looks confused.
These are all places where the writer will need to consider revisions.
Perhaps the founders of Effingham should have said their new town name out loud a few more times, until one of them noticed its potential for pronunciation humor.
Or maybe, in the end, they simply chose not to revise.

Description of video.
Based on the work of Dr Masaru Emoto's work.http://www.johnvincentblog.com/MindPower
This is the second time I have conducted this experiment. Both times I have had the same results, this time I recorded it. The only difference between these to jars is the energy directed at them.
The effects of consciousness on reality. Astounding!
DO NOT take my word for it. I didn't! Do this experiment for yourself. As far as consciousness effecting reality experiments this is so easy (and cheap) to do. Rice, jam jar and label. If you doubt this in any way DO the experiment for yourself. Spend 15 -- 20 seconds a day focusing 'love' energy at one and 'hate' at the other and see the results for yourself.
These experiments are based on the work of Dr Masaru Emoto's who's ideas appeared in the film: "What the Bleep Do We Know!?". He is also the author of the best-selling books Messages from Water and The Hidden Messages in Water.

There are times where we watch a movie with simple expectations and ended up feeling very happy for the film that you just watched totally blew your mind away and simply exceeded your simple expectations by a mile. This is what I felt after watching Avatar, directed by James Cameron who is known for directing the beloved Titanic film.
Avatar is simply gives that feeling about what watching movies should be. The continuous rush of happiness, coolness, and creativity just lets one enjoy the movie and escape from reality with much comfort and satisfaction. Avatar is not your typical Science Fiction film. The movie actually lets you feel the world embedded in it. Cameron successfully lets one enjoy the picturesque world of Pandora. Pandora's world is filled with enough life and emotion. It is not exactly a soulless setting. The best part of seeing Pandora is that it makes you feel that you do not want to leave it no matter what. The world of Pandora is simply gorgeous and rich in quality.
As I have said, the world of Pandora is not exactly a soulless setting.Avatar manages to portray to the viewers' senses that there is a lot of culture involved in the world of Pandora. Events such as celebrations of religion, community life, and even death are showed with aplomb.Avatar also introduces to the audience a new group of beings called the Na'vi. In my honest opinion,one of Avatar's strong suits is the Na'vi. They make the film very enjoyable to watch. The Na'vi are portrayed in the film not as species but rather as a unified force of civilization who will do everything they can just to protect their homeland from any evil force that will try to disrupt the peace within it. What's great about the Na'vi is that their actions are actually humane and lets the audience connect to them with ease. It can even reach the point where the audience is actually rooting for the Na'vi in their battle against man's evil ways.
Visually, Avatar is the best that I have ever seen. Watching the film in 3D was definitely worth it. Coming from someone who has watched all the Star Wars films, I can honestly say that Avatar beats the George Lucas' film franchise in terms of visual effects. The world of Pandora can be described as the pinnacle of stunning planets. It really is a picturesque world that has to be seen by one's naked eye. The perfect combination of CGI and live-action is definitely a treat to the senses as well.
As for Avatar's story, it's nothing groundbreaking. It's more about immersing in a very lovely world that you end up not wanting to leave it at all. Avatar is definitely a visual film. With that being said, I can say that even though Avatarwould be presented without the dialogue, it would still be awesome. Watching life through the species shown progress in the film is arguably fun to watch. Acting-wise, the humans shown in the film did just fine. Nothing earth-shattering came from their performances but they were good. Stephen Lang's acting though remains in my mind. He nailed it well in my opinion.
All in all, Avatar simply reminds us that movies are actually an expression of art – they must be shown with enough care and must offer something new to the audience's eyes. As I have said earlier, Avatar is definitely a treat to the senses. Also, the way you think about the world can be affected thanks to the film's subtle messages about human behavior and action. Avatar simply nailed it. The way the story got presented was delivered with perfection. The characters are absolutely great. One can relate with them in many ways possible. Avatar is more than a film. Think about it as a life-changing medium. Better watch the film. It's the greatest film that I have ever seen in my entire life. Definitely, the film is a candidate for Film of the Year this 2010. You are missing tons of fun if you haven't seen it yet.
Director: James Cameron
Distributor: 20th Century Fox

Every middle school has one, which means you're bound to get them at least once. Of course, we're talking about that extraordinarily vile, despicably wicked, supermean teacher.
L&C's SMT Tips:
♥ Keep a low profile, and stay quiet.
♥ Do all your homework neatly and on time.
♥ The teacher is probably not the joking-around type, so think twice before engaging him or her on a humorous level.
♥ Compliments never hurt. Say that you like his or her tie, shoes, or the inspiring lecture on the downfall of Eastern Bloc Communism.
♥ If it's around the holiday season, give him or her a card. Buy a generic greeting card just to play it safe unless you happen to know what her or she celebrates (besides the grinch)!
♥ Tell the principal the SMT is your favorite teacher and you get so much out of the class. (He or she will hopefully pass it on, and you'll get major charm points.)
♥ Volunteer for small missions like passing out or picking up papers. Request to pick up trash after class or erase whiteboards.
♥ Shhhhhh the loud students, telling them you are trying to listen, and they would be wise to do the same.
♥ Participate but don't ask annoying questions like "Should we put our name on this?" or "What class is this again?"
♥ Take or act like you're taking copious notes. Teachers like to feel important.
♥ Call the teacher sir, ma'am, or master—but not in a sarcastic way.
Helpful Hint from CeCee: Even I get those supermean ogre-type teachers and grapple with it. What you have to realize is, most of the time, their mean dispositions are nothing personal against you—it's just the way they're wired. Also, don't be worried about being called a "teacher's pet" by the other kids. You'll have the last laugh when crowned with an A and everyone else flunks. Just remember—you won't have these teachers forever. It's only temporary, so try to figure out what makes them tick, and you'll have them eating out of the palm of your hand (not literally, of course—gross!).

Broaden Bass Fishing to Save Salmon
TELEGRAPH JOURNALBroaden bass-fishing season, save salmon: groupCHRIS MORRIS Legislature Bureau26 Nov 2013FREDERICTON – A leading New Brunswick salmon conservation organization is calling for an unrestricted fishing season for striped bass in the Miramichi River estuary to help save struggling Atlantic salmon populations.The Miramichi Salmon Association said in a statement Tuesday it is gravely concerned about the large number of striped bass spawning in the estuary with estimates as high as 400,000 of these fish.Mark Hambrook, president of the association, and Bud Bird, a long-time angler and member of the association, said the bass are killing untold numbers salmon smolts trying to make their way from the river to the open sea."Each spring there are approximately1.8 million small Atlantic salmon smolts migrating from the Miramichi watershed towards the ocean," Hambrook and Bird state in their release."As these salmon smolts pass through the concentrated schools of striped bass, there is a dramatic risk that almost an entire smolt run could be consumed. Simple math indicates that if each bass ate only five salmon smolts, an entire year class of Miramichi salmon would be extinguished."The salmon association said the federal Fisheries Department needs to take action to reduce the risk.It is recommending to DFO that an unrestricted fishing season should be introduced immediately to diminish the striped bass populations."Not only would this relieve conservation pressures on Atlantic salmon smolts, but would also provide for both a commercial striped bass fishery by First Nations and a very productive fishing season for New Brunswick anglers young and old. "The association has passed a resolution calling on DFO to implement a two-month unrestricted fishing season for striped bass in the Miramichi estuary, running from April 15 to June 15, 2014.The salmon conservation group wants the unrestricted season continued until "the striped bass populations are brought down to a balanced conservation level."According to a recent DFO report, only about 8,000 grilse, which are young, small salmon, returned to their Miramichi spawning grounds last year. In 2011, 45,000 grilse returned.The runs for adult salmon were slightly better, but not much – roughly 13,600 large salmon returned.It is estimated that as many as 50 per cent of salmon entering the salt waters of the estuary do not survive. Predation by bass long has been suspected as a cause.

High-speed photography is a fascinating way to capture the images that we don't often get to see. So many amazing things happen in the blink of an eye - moving too quickly for us to see more than a blur and the aftermath. Using clever equipment and quick shutters, these talented photographers freeze time and illuminate one single critical moment. If they time it just right, high-speed photographers can catch a moment of impact, explosion, or surprising movement - and it makes for incredible art.
(images via: Stefan)
Stefan's high-speed photographs combine the sophistication of fine art and the fun of watching stuff explode. The brave hand model with bright red fingernails in many of his pictures holds items which are then shot with a gun. The resulting images are not only beautiful, but fascinating - not to mention a little dangerous.
(images via: Martin Waugh)
The liquid sculptures of Martin Waugh are amazingly intricate and often involve surprising shapes. Although he admits that liquids are difficult to control, Martin Waugh seems to have a knack for capturing the perfect moment. His images are created with high-speed flash photography and cleaned up - but not altered - in Photoshop. The combination of movement, color and organic shapes makes these images unforgettable. Martin Waugh kindly shares his techniques on his blog, and he also sells prints of his work.

These images from Peter Wienerroither of light bulbs shattering and burning show just how much detail can be captured with high-speed photography. Each tiny bit of glass is illuminated and frozen in mid-air - and you can almost hear the sound of shattering glass.
(images via: Boris Bos)
The high-speed photography of Boris Bos uses the simple but elegant combination of apples and water. The moment of impact is captured, with every drop of water taking on its own graceful shape as it leaps into the air.
(images via: Jasper Nance)
Jasper Nance is, without a doubt, one of the best high-speed photographers to ever fire a gun. Her creative and innovative images are captured using ahomemade high-speed flash, which is itself a work of art. Many of her photographs involve items being shot with various types of guns; she then captures the resulting explosions, splatters, and crazy airborne patterns made by the guts of the fired-upon object. Her photos look like research or scientific experiments, but she's in it for the art - and the fun.
(images via: Hannoc)
Hannoc's unique photos explore what happens to balloons when they are pierced or shot. Freezing the exact moment of breakage provides a fascinating picture of the balloon literally peeling away from its contents, which for that split second remain in place as though still held by the balloon.

What was your childhood like, and how did it shape who you are today?
My childhood was great. I grew up in a small farm town in Illinois, population 7,000. Everyone knows everyone. Hours from anything. We played in our neighborhood, built forts, climbed trees, rode bikes and spent every weekend at my grandparents' farm. Looking back now, it was beautiful. As a teenager, I hated everything about it. I couldn't wait to get away and see the world. I wanted to be somewhere warm and dreamed of being near the ocean. And I didn't want anyone to know me. When I went off to University of Iowa I was a number, my social security number, which is exactly what I wanted at the time, which was getting lost in the crowd. In my early 20s, I discovered Savannah. It had warm weather and it was near the ocean. A big little city where there is a one degree of separation from everyone. I realized that I want to know everyone in my community and want everyone to know me. I loved the people the second I came here. But there was also one thing always missing: the country. About a year ago, my husband and I purchased a 76 acre farm in Metter, GA. Now we spend all of our weekends there. What do they say, you can take the girl out of the country but can't take the country out of the girl.
What initially brought you to Savannah?
A boy and SCAD. Thank God neither one worked out.
Have you found your psychology degree to be helpful in the real estate industry? If so, how?
I joke about it all the time that I use it on a daily basis. Truly my business is all about the psychology of people. For example, when negotiating a real estate transaction, you have to really listen and pinpoint each side's "hot buttons" and what's important to each side. I try to go into it with no perceptions and anticipate every possible rejection. There is so much psychology in real estate I could go on forever.
How was Judge Realty able to weather the storm of the real estate crisis in 2008?
I almost drowned. I always say it was like a near death experience in business. I remember one day walking in the door and realizing I had two choices: close the doors and crawl under the bed or sit down and figure it out. I looked at my property manager at the time, who was probably the worst property manager in the entire world, and that's when the light bulb went off.
Did you have to change your approach to business in order to stay afloat?
Absolutely! I had to change my approach on a lot of things. Most importantly, I focused on property management which was producing income that we could count on, unlike real estate sales.
A city such as Savannah, known for it's historic charm, faces unique challenges when attempting to balance history with progress. What are your thoughts on developer Ben Carter's vision for Broughton Street?
I don't think it matters what I think about Ben Carter's vision or what I think at all. What matters is that those buildings have been here for 200+ years and are currently getting a major facelift so they can be here another 200+ years.
What does a typical day for you look like?
Wake up my sweet boy, prepare his breakfast, and help him get out the door for school, get in a quick workout and then head to the office to catch up on emails. I check in with the property management team. Now I have the best property managers in the world. I also check in with the agents and my creative team. Most days I meet with clients, show properties or go to listing appointments. My latest venture over the past six months has been real estate development. I have a few projects up my sleeve. Stay tuned!
What's the best movie you've seen recently?
I love documentary films, especially about artists. The Artist is Present, which is about Marina Abramovic. It's seductive, fearless and outrageous. She really has been redefining art for 40 years.
What do you miss most about Princeton, Illinois?
My family… mother, father and brother especially. I also miss its safety. You can leave your doors unlocked, car keys in the car, and not worry about someone hurting you. I think there have been five murders in Princeton's entire history. Savannah had five murders last week. We have a huge crime problem that is completely unnecessary. I don't know all the answers but I know it's a solvable problem that needs to happen soon.
What effect does the issue of crime in Savannah have on your work? Do you encounter buyers who voice concerns about moving to Savannah, or to specific areas of the city?
Crime never really comes up when doing business with buyers. I think, just like any other city, most people should practice safety wherever they live and work.
How do you relax or unwind after a long day?
I love playing with my son, Albert at the end of the day, catching up on his day and then maybe a glass of wine.
If you could craft the perfect sandwich, what would be on it?
The perfect sandwich in my opinion is a grilled cheese sandwich. You can use any bread and any kind of cheese, melt it and it's pretty much perfect.
If you could offer one piece of advice to individuals just starting out in the real estate industry, what would it be?
You will get out of it exactly what you put into it. You must love real estate and people. Real estate is easy to love but people, sometimes not so much. You have to enjoy the process. The success and money is only the fruit of the doing. If you don't enjoy the doing then you have to change the doing. I believe that is true with anything you do.

Special Numbers User Guide
4. CountingContents
The aim of this activity is to build and reinforce the ability to count objects by touching them.
To play you count the balls or animals that appear, by tapping each one. When you tap an object, a number is spoken (1 for the first one you tap, 2 for the second, and so on) and the corresponding number digit (or digits) is shown on top of it.
The activity moves through steps, displaying a different number of objects in each step. By default, the first step has 1 object, the next 2, and so on up to 5, with a blue arrow shown when it's time to move on between steps, and a reward is presented after each step.
You can change the reward and arrow behavior from the common settings in the opening view, as explained in Chapter 3. The activity also has its own settings, which you can access from its Settings button:
First Number
The number of objects to show in the first step: between 1 and 20.
Last Number
The number of objects to show in the last step: between 1 and 20. If for example, you set First Number to 3 and Last Number to 6, then the steps would be for 3, 4, 5 and 6 objects. If the last number is smaller that the first number, then you can play with descending steps, e.g. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. If you want to work with just a single fixed number of objects, set First Number and Last Number to the same value.
Play In Order
If this is ON, the steps are played in order (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). If you turn it OFF, the steps are played in a random order each time, e.g. 2, 5, 1, 4, 3, or 4, 5, 1, 3, 2.
Scatter Objects
The ball or animals are normally shown in a regular arrangement, starting at the top left, and going across, then starting the next row, up to a maximum of 4 rows of 5 objects. If you turn this setting ON then the objects are instead scattered randomly among the 20 possible positions.
Type Of Object
You can choose between Matching or Mixed balls, animals, flowers, pencils or bugs. Matching means that, within a single step, all the objects look identical. Mixed means randomly chosen from a set of 12 different objects.
Before Counting
If this sound setting is ON, the number of objects is spoken at the start of each step. Turn OFF to disable this.
When Tap Object
If this sound setting is ON, the number corresponding to each object is spoken when it is tapped. Turn OFF to disable this.

The housing market has been hit by factors ranging from tough credit standards to burdensome student loans to a lean supply of properties on the market, according to minutes released Wednesday from a recent Federal Reserve meeting.
Closings for new and existing homes had a rough first quarter, prompting Wall Street analysts to lower their annual sales forecast for 2014. Prominent economists had been expecting low mortgage rates to support home sales. But cheap loans haven't been enough to overcome the below factors discussed by Fed officials in June, according to the minutes.
- Tough credit standards
- High down payments
- Weak demand from young families, driven by burdensome student loans
- Lot shortages
- A low supply of "desirable" homes on the market
- The pool of foreclosures and other distressed properties
- Rising construction costs
And then there's this potential biggie: "The possibility that more persistent structural changes in housing demand associated with an aging population and evolving lifestyle preferences were boosting demand for multifamily units at the expense of single-family homes."
Readers: Which factors do you think are hurting the housing market?

Surprisingly, my running has not been affected that much – during my hotel stays I can often squeeze in one run in the early morning before breakfast and one more run during a break in the afternoon schedule or during the evening. It has been a way to sustain both my physical and mental wellness, but also a great opportunity to discover new beautiful places. Regretfully, I have not travel to particularly mountainous places, but you can find a good park to run in even in cities like Geneva, Barcelona, Rotterdam, Munich, Amsterdam and Seattle. During my travelruns I have taken photographs and when I had a spare moment yesterday I uploaded them all to a new Instagram account I created called passingofthesummits. When looking at the photos I realize this is also an expose of the four seasons as it is soon time for the first snow and skiing again. I truly hope I will find more time to write here as well, but in the meantime I will continue to post some of my running photos in Instagram.

following Elizabeth's 'recipe' here
who is going to live in Seattle!
Melbourne trams,
magpies and some of our suburbs named!
tram tickets from days gone by, I think!
I hope Allison thinks of Melbourne when she uses it.
Happy days!
I love it! What a great gift for your friend.ReplyDelete
Thoughtful gifts are always the best. And this one looks lovely!ReplyDelete
An STB is such a wonderful gift and I know how much work it is as I've made two of them now :-) Your fabrics are so wonderful! Looking at them makes me think of the lovely afternoon we spent together fabric shopping. And just yesterday I had my metro and magpie fabrics in my hands and was wondering what to sew... Well... Perhaps I will just look at them and think of Melbourne :-)ReplyDelete
The one you made looks so much more professionally made than mine does! I guess I need to make a mini so I can practice. Beautiful and such a thoughtful gift as well.ReplyDelete
It's just adorable! You put so much thought into the fabric choices. I already know it's a lot of work! You're a good friend, and she can't help but remember you with great fondness.ReplyDelete
This is top-notch, and I'm sure she'll love it. You always do such lovely work, and I love that you used a mini--it's just the right size for everything! (And PS--the subscription finally worked! Your blog post came into my email this morning--YAY!!)ReplyDelete
Looks fabulous - STBags are such versatile items. Love all your fabric choices too.ReplyDelete
This little thing is just precious! I love all the fabrics and the stories which, I'm sure, will be such sweet reminders for your friend - the best kind of gift!ReplyDelete
That's a beautiful mini bag, how perfect with the Melbourne fabrics.ReplyDelete
Love these fabrics and they are perfect for your mini STB!ReplyDelete
I think this is a perfect way to use this fabric. Definitely lots of Melbourne memories in that gift. Lovely idea!ReplyDelete
Ooh! A mini! I like that idea. I have two of the normal size on the go. Maybe when I finish those I can make a smaller version.ReplyDelete
You really have the small project nailed - they always look so professional! And lovely and meaningful fabric choices. Great all round!ReplyDelete
That Melbourne themed fabric is fabulous and your bag is really cute. I used to live in Melbourne and would love to get my hands on some of the fabric, who is the designer?ReplyDelete
How fun that you've sent a bit of Melbourne to the other side of the world.ReplyDelete
How sweet! What a thoughtful gift!ReplyDelete

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is taking a proactive safety approach to protect vehicles from malicious cyber-attacks and unauthorized access by releasing proposed guidance for improving motor vehicle cybersecurity.
"Cybersecurity is a safety issue, and a top priority at the Department," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "Our intention with today's guidance is to provide best practices to help protect against breaches and other security failures that can put motor vehicle safety."
The proposed cybersecurity guidance focuses on layered solutions to ensure vehicle systems are designed to take appropriate and safe actions, even when an attack is successful. The guidance recommends risk-based prioritized identification and protection of critical vehicle controls and consumers' personal data. Further, it recommends that companies should consider the full life-cycle of their vehicles and facilitate rapid response and recovery from cybersecurity incidents.

Patrick Carroll: Central Australia - Red - Art Collector
|Patrick Carroll, The Rock Ledge. Acrylic on canvas, 76 x 56cm. Courtesy: the artist and Wagner Art Gallery, Paddington
Patrick Carroll's new exhibition draws on a challenging subject and location, the outback of Central Australia. When Carroll spent time in the Northern Territory last year he used colour as a tool to interpret the landscape and to simplify and objectify its motifs. This process became an exercise in abstracting the image through its "redness". The result is a body of work that simultaneously explores the magnificence of the Australian landscape and the qualities of paint.
Exhibition opens: 3pm-5pm, Saturday 24 October 2015
Exhibition closes: 19 November 2015
Location: Wagner Art Gallery, 39 Gurner Street Paddington NSW 2021

I bought this dress at the tail end of 2009 (I had a December wedding). I tried on a handful of dresses, and this was about the 5th one I tried on. It fit so perfectly. It hugged my body in all the right places, had wonderful coverage, the perfect A-line around my hips & waist, and the most important…it was comfortable to move and walk around in. I simply loved wearing this dress and whomever gets it will enjoy it as well. Last but not least, this dress came out so wonderfully in all my wedding photos (professionally taken) as well as from amateur family/friends pictures. This dress can be worn for both the cold or warmer months.
There were some alterations made to the dress by a professional seamstress (whom I had to pay extra for at David's Bridal). The alterations that were made were to the bust mostly. There were no changes made in the length of the dress - for that I wore heels. I cannot recall at the moment if there were any other alterations since it has been almost 5 years. Potential buyers can email seller if really interested to find out the exact alterations - I would need to dig out the paper receipt to find out exactly. The alterations that were done were minimal from the original measurements.
It was cleaned professionally and has been stored in the original garment dress bag provided by David's Bridal - bag is zippered up and provides complete coverage from dust, dirt, etc. The dress and veil are also covered in additional plastic which is then placed into the bag. It has remained in my closet for all this time and has not been handled at all from the wedding back in 2009. The only time I took it out was to take pictures for selling this dress. It still is in fantastic, ready-to-wear shape. This dress was not worn during a reception. For the reception I had changed into another formal dress.

Unnamed Koala Joey was right when he said I had some big news to share today...I am now officially a
Well, maybe to be on their design team. So I asked and they said yes! Then I saw the rest of the crew and HOLY MOLY are you going to be excited when you see all the fabulous gals that are on the team with me! I feel stampier just by being on the same team as them! The senior design team was announced last month, and today they are revealing one new member every hour on the hour starting with me (eek!) and ending at 5:00 Central with an awesome super-secret announcement. Even awesomer, with every DT member reveal comes a chance for you to win that DT member's favorite stamp set! To enter, just leave a comment on each post on the Market Street Stamps blog! (Just to be clear, comments on my blog will not enter you to win the stamp set, but they will win you my love and affection and really, what could be better than that? Although I admit it's difficult to make cute cards with just my love and affection. Maybe if you rub an eraser over my love and affection and then use pigment ink, that might help. Long aside short, go to the MSS blog to enter!)
I'm sure by now you're wondering, "Meg, what is your favorite stamp set (so far)?" Well, you may have noticed I'm a wee bit of a nerd. Who is married to a geek. And has a corgi who is a dorg[1]. Have you guessed my stamp set yet? Here's a hint:
I'm looking forward to getting y'all hooked on Market Street, so I hope you're ready! Don't forget to check the MSS blog for a DT member reveals and chances to win all day today!

A data center is a network of servers and computers which are interconnected with the help of a network. This network is an inevitable component of any data center and any fault in the network system can stall the function of your entire data center. The performance and output of a data center depends largely on the quality of network components viz. cabling and the pattern of networking.
Therefore, there is a need to check the existing networking facilities at a new location before deciding the shift your data center there. The network should be strong enough to support all your computers. Overabundance of data can clog up networks and as such, you need to run several tests like load tests and check latency issues before deciding on your move.
In the present scenario, most businesses communicate with their customers mostly through online activities. This further accentuates the need of having proper networks. Usually, a new network frame is created just before installing a data center and connects it to the existing network. This can be a stupendous effort if your networking needs are too huge.
Purchase and installation of different components of network is a cumbersome process. Therefore as soon as you finalize your new location you need to start working on it. The moving company needs to work in tandem with the vendors to overcome this problem. Simply put, before you start dismantling and packing your old data center your network at the new place should be ready for operation.
Making your network circuit alive, also know as circuit-turn up is a time taking process. In certain cases it takes as long as ninety days or even more for Telco turn up for circuit. This means that your networking efforts at the new location should start at least three months before you actually initiate the moving process. The likely defects arising during installation of networks are erratic configuration of CSU/DSU, the router not being LMI enabled, defective CSU/DSU, defective installation of the link between the existing system and the local Telco switch etc. These can stall your move to the new location. Therefore the efforts for integrating the existing network with the external communication channels should start as soon as you finalize the new place for your data center.

Hi guys,
I have to say that reading posts on here are amazing. It's been helpful and I've been sober over 2 years. My problem is, I've had a couple sponsors, and I have this weird phobia of talking on the phone. When I'm in person, I'm fine. Text messages, emails, fine. But answering the phone and calling cause me extreme anxiety. I want to work the steps with a sponsor. I've tried online sponsors, and I've had 3 different people assigned to me. One wrote 1 email and never wrote back. One wanted to do video chats, from another country (4 hour time difference, we both work, it was impossible unless one of us wanted to stay up in the middle of the night), and one who wanted me to start over at step 1 when I'm already on step 7. My in person sponsor went awol after step 6, doesn't show up to meetings, answer messages ( I hope she's okay).
What do I do? Is it possible to have an online sponsor?

Any one using quick3DCommunity Forums/Developer Stations/Any one using quick3D
| Just a genral query to see if any one is/has used this tool for converting 3D meshes with animations. And is it any good with C4D to DirectX.
| Here's the link to the software if anyone want's to check it out (always best to include a link):- http://www.quick3d.org/
| Ultimate Unwrap is good for converting formats. YOu need to export your animation as something other than C4D though...
| I own Ultimate Unwrap. But having to export C4D file with animation into a different format that supports animation kind of defeats the whole idea when XPort can do the same thing. The problem with Xport is it can't handle the new Cinema 4D R10+ character riging scheme (joints + weight maps) you have to use bones and absolute vertex weight maps (theres no easy way to convert these as it can screw up the skeleton and you have to weigh the vertices to each bone).
| I worked with a guy who exported C4D into another format, Lightwave?? and i converted them into .b3d's and all worked fine. Obviously older, so probably not relevant to your situation. Just thought of it as another option :o)

Today Gilead announced it will provide seven generic drug manufacturers licenses to make and sell two drugs that are used in combination to treat the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in 91 developing countries.
The 91 countries in the licensed territory had a 2013 population of 3.26 billion persons, about 46 percent of the world population, and a per capita income of $1,879. According to Gilead, about 54 percent of persons infected with HCV live in the 91 countries. (Countries outside of the licenses had a population of 3.87 billion persons, and a per capita income of $17,876). Among countries not considered high income by the World Bank, the percentage of persons included in the covered territory was 56 percent. When both China and high income countries are excluded, the percentage is 73 percent. (Calculations here: http://goo.gl/3QgBS5)
The seven generic producers, which include CIPLA, Hetero, Ranbaxy, Mylan, Strides, Sequent and Cadila Healthcare, must manufacture the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in India. The license covers a number of different patents, many of which have been filed but not issued, as well as rights to rely upon Gilead test data for drug registration, and, at the option of the company, know-how.
The licensed products are sofosbuvir (SOF), currently sold by Gilead under the brand name Sovaldi, and ledipasvir (LDV), a drug not yet approved by the US FDA. Under the license, generic manufacturers can make and sell either drug separately, as a two drug combination, or in combination with other drugs. The license does not include another Gilead pipeline drug, GS-5816, which may work against more or all genotypes. Gilead says that GS-5816 may be included at a later date.
The generic companies may make and supply countries outside of the territory, if a patent does not exist, or if a compulsory license has been issued. People who have looked at the license are in the process of evaluating how it will work for countries where patents have been filed but not granted. The royalty rate for the licenses are 7 percent of the generic price.
Gilead will be publishing the text of the basic license template.
Gilead's HCV license is pro-competitive, in the sense that the license covers a large enough area to induce entry, includes know-how and test data rights, enables seven strong generic suppliers, and does not prohibit companies from selling outside of the territory on a compulsory license, including the mandatory export license in Section 92A of the Indian patent law.
The limits on the API supply in the license are not ideal, and, among other things, may place too much emphasis on the proceedings in India, as regards the patent grants. From the point of view of patients, the fact that seven strong generic companies are licensed will be important. The licenses may lead to an easy to administer oral combination of SOF+LDV priced under $100 for a course of treatment, if prices per gram for FDA approved generic HIV drugs are a guide, and this will be good news for those patients in the covered territory who can be treated successfully by SOF+LDV.
For some genotypes of HCV, a combination involving SOF and GS-5816, or a second drug developed by another company, such as the BMS's HCV drug daclatasvir (DAC), may be the better treatment. KEI is not aware of efforts by BMS, Merck, Roche, Novartis, J&J or Abbott to license their HCV patents to generic suppliers.
Many, including KEI, wanted Gilead to include more countries in the covered territory.
Patients living in countries outside of the covered territory can benefit from the license, which creates a set of competitive suppliers of the Gilead HCV drugs, if their country issues a compulsory licenses on patents, or otherwise enables exports from India under Section 92A of the Indian patent law, or through medical tourism.
There exist many challenges in expanding access to treatments for HCV, including those relating to expanding diagnosis for HCV, registering products, obtaining access to non-Gilead products, and funding treatment programs. The intellectual property issues will continue to be important, as well other issues.
The Gilead licenses are a step forward as regards access and KEI sees them as having a number of very important benefits for patients, including accelerating the entry by generic suppliers, creating competition among suppliers, and addressing non-patient barriers to drug registration, by addressing the rights in test data, for the covered territory in the license, or countries that find a way to import from license holders.
Among the future challenges are to address access in the countries outside of Gilead's licensed area, and to engage patent holders other than Gilead, for both diagnostics and treatments, as well the problems relating to the registration of drugs, the marketing of products, and the funding of treatment.
Manon Ress of KEI offered the following statement:
After today, the number of HCV patients who can imagine getting a cure has expanded greatly. The license does not address all countries, nor all drugs patients might need. Gilead has stepped up, to ensure there will be competitive suppliers in generic versions of their drugs. BMS, Merck, Abbott, Roche, Novartis, J&J and other companies need to follow suit.
James Love of KEI offered this statement:
There are many benefits in the new Gilead licenses. Among them, Gilead is working with seven very strong generic manufactures, and the competition between them will drive the price down for the Gilead drugs. Gilead will allow the companies signing the licenses to sell outside of the licensed territory, to countries that issue compulsory licenses, or where there are no patents. Gilead will allow its products to be used in combinations with drugs from other companies. Gilead has published the text of the voluntary license, a transparency promoting action that is quite important.
We don't like the narrow coverage in so called middle income countries. Gilead should expand the license to include Mexico, more countries in South America, Central America and the Caribbean, greater coverage of South and Central Asia, North Africa and Eastern Europe. It will also be important that generic drugs are available in China. In each of these areas, there are a significant number of persons living with HCV who will not receive treatment at Gilead's prices. Addressing these access gaps will be important, and patient advocates should encourage the excluded developing countries to issue compulsory licenses in order to receive exports from the companies with the licenses, or from companies that did not sign the licenses.
High income countries also face considerable challenges in terms of access and affordability of HCV drugs. We hope that important debate is delinked from the policies in developing countries, where the realities of financing treatment are considerably more difficult.
Thiru Balasubramaniam, Managing Director of KEI-Europe, offered this statement
Gilead, by acting first to license its HCV patents, has shown leadership. We see the license as a serious effort to improve access and affordability in developing countries. It can be difficult to compare the coverage of the HCV and HIV licenses for several reasons. First, the incidence of HCV is more evenly distributed among countries, than is the case for HIV. Second, the new HCV drugs offer a 12 week cure for HCV, and are not used as part of a daily chronic treatment regime. For this reason, Gilead faces larger challenges as regards diversion from low income to high income markets. Given these challenges, Gilead has taken some risks, for the benefit of lower income patients. The many middle income countries that have been excluded from the licenses should have more bargaining power, since there will be multiple high quality suppliers of affordable drugs, should they decide to grant compulsory licenses, and this will be a factor even when negotiations lead to price reductions.
