After college I was focused on making it to the NBA. I would get to the gym at 5:30a.m. for our workout. Not because the early bird gets the worm but because that was the only time we could get a free gym. There would be a small group of us, and we would go through drills and play one on one full court. Later in the day we would play pick up 5 on 5 basketball to 140 points. It was one particular player that really baffled me. He was 6'8 athletic strong, good handle, good shot and would look so impressive going through our morning drills. He would even win some of them and there were not any scrubs there. About half of the workout were NBA players. Guys like Earl Boykins, Ira Newble, and Derrick Dial to name a few. Back to this player, he would look very impressive in the morning drills workout but in the afternoon pick-up games he would often be the worst player on the court. I took a lot of time thinking about why that was and cme up with 3 reasons he could not play up to his skill level in a game. So here are my 3 reasons the most skilled player may not be the best player.
Confidence The first problem he had was confidence he would often make excuses for his bad play even before we started playing. He would say things like "i'm a little sore from our workout this morning", Or "i've been off lately". He would sike himself out before we even started playing. He was creating a self-fulfilling prophecy by thinking he was off he would live up to his thoughts of being off. Most of the time he played great in the morning and shot well. He should have been thinking I played great this morning and know I'm going to keep it rolling and dominate this pickup game. But he didn't believe that about himself so he played passive and never tried anything to "risky". So it was easy to check him because if you were set on defense he would never try to beat you. Confidence I feel is the biggest factor in being great as a basketball player, because confident players try to make things happen and they often do. Were a less confident player would pass the ball back out.
The second reason is instinct. No one can tell you a formula for how to be good, there is no move that will work every time. You can't say if the defense does this then you do that and it will work everytime. Also If you have to think about what your going to do before you do it your usually going to be a step slower than everybody else. In the pickup games this player would try to do some of the moves we worked on in the morning. And if you watched him you could actually see him thinking about the move he was about to do. It never worked the defense would always beat him to the spot and he would not have a counter move. Someone operating of instinct is always going to be faster than someone who has to think before he reacts. That is why it is important to have as many tools in your toolbox as possible and be comfortable doing those moves. The more moves (tools) you have to choose from the more options you have to beat the defense and the more comfortable and confident you'll be.
Basketball Is Art
The third is basketball is a art form. Something might work great for you but not so well for someone else basketball is not one size fits all. I see a lot of videos saying learn to do this move like this NBA player but you can never learn to do it like them because everyone is unique. You can come close but it will never be the same. At this point in time Allen Iverson was one of the biggest stars in the NBA and everyone was trying to do his crossover. This player would try the Iverson crossover and never beat anyone. Technically he was doing the move correctly but it was just a move that did not work for him. I suggest you find a few moves that work well for you and play to your strengths don't try to make your weakness a strength. You can work to make it respectable but focus on your strength and try to be the best of the best at what you naturally do well.
Those are 3 reasons why someone my have a great skill level and a not so great game to go along with it. Hope you enjoyed the read and if you did checkout our videos on youtube and follow us on your favorite social media site byltraining.

The Spirits of Tatomir Pitariu
Tatomir was born in Romania and currently resides in Los Angeles. His heavy metal spirits borrow from Transylvanian rituals & traditions, Greek mythology, paganism, the elements and folklore. On Tantomir's website, there are fascinating texts & tidbits about each piece - explaining the subject, background and evolution of each image. Very inspiring and full of spiritual gusto.

Lacey Bryant's Silent Country
|Lacey Bryant and one of her art dolls- "Mother" . This one totally reminded me of Jill Clayburgh, the actress...
We were happy to make it to the opening of Lacey Bryant's current exhibition at Modern Eden. Having seen her works numerous times over the last few years, at many different Bay Area venues, they always stood out with her identifiable style. Modern Eden graciously dedicated their entire gallery space to Lacey for this well-deserved solo exhibition - "Soliloquies from the Silent Country" .
Her works have a strong painterly feel, lots of wet brushstrokes and emotive subject matter. Bits of dark angst mingle with surreal animal transformations and fairy tales. They feature young women in various states of expression or contemplations - often interacting with nature in some way. I love the fact that her works accomplish such impact and feeling - without gratuitous nudity or sexual poses. It sets her works apart from the more predictable, sexy yet shallow, imagery out there. One feels that all these women are aspects of Lacey's pschye, floating and captured within their own moment of time.
In addition to the paintings are some very marvelous dolls (see very top photo & below). The subtle character expressed in the doll's faces give them a lovable, human aspect - their skin glows dirty with life and sass. They offer up special gifts, recessed in their hearts or in their peasant-like attire. Photographs do not begin to translate their charm in person.
Lacey is a sweet sprite, energetic and full of positive vibrations - open, non-pretentious and bubbling with humanity. It was a joy to meet her and all her artworks. This exhibition is up through Feb. 5th, 2012.
|Lacey and "Accomplices"
|This one was my personal favorite, titled "Doubt".
The musical entertainment was by provided by an alt-folk trio, The Wild Reeds and they provided some good ole' down-home comfort music.

Thomas Woodruff Makes Us Swoon
If you are lucky enough to find yourself anywhere near New York City in the next few weeks.... then you owe it to your eyes to get over to PPOW Gallery for their current show-
Exhibition runs Jan 5 - Feb 4, 2012
Thomas's works just make us weak in the knees with their incredible poetic beauty. They are icons of anthropomorphic cross-dressers, adornments to our earthly kingdoms. With more than 24 paintings by Thomas in this solo show, it is sure to gratify and satisfy every heart aching for original inspirations.

The Surrealist Remedios Varo
Remedios Varo is an incredible painter I have long admired and often wondered why she hasn't received more attention in art history and elsewhere. Could it be sexism?... Nah...
In addition to Leonora Carrington and Frida Kahlo she is one of the most engaging and astounding women surrealists. Born in Spain in 1908, she fled to Paris during the Spanish Civil War. During the Nazi occupation of France she then fled to Mexico City - where she remained for the rest of her life. She was close friends with Carrington, studied with Salvador Dali, and in Mexico she became acquainted with Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. She died at 55 from a stress-related heart attack.
Currently at Frey Norris Gallery in San Francisco is a rare chance to see a few of her original works - paintings, sketches and drawings. They have a mystical, dream-like quality with scientific and spiritual allegories. Up close, her brushstrokes are tiny, many even seemed like scratch marks through the paint to the board below. Pictured here are a few pics from the exhibit - mostly cropped to share some detail. The show is up through Feb. 25th, 2012.
" The first exhibition of Remedios Varo to ever take place in the western United States, Indelible Fables illuminates the ever-imaginative and prescient world of this surrealist artist." - Frey Norris
(Frey also recently had a great exhibit of Carrington's works)...
Francesca Woodman at SF Moma
Francesca Woodman committed suicide at the age of 22 in 1981. Her works are obviously that of a still-young photographer and it is sad that we will never see what caliber of imagery she could have produced, had she lived a "normal" life. And sadly, I wonder if she would have had a show of this magnitude at a major museum, if she hadn't committed suicide.
This huge exhibition contains all black and white prints, rather on the small side, mostly centered on the female human form, nudes - many set-up shots of her own body. Long exposures, vintage dresses, montages, blurred movements and stark, lonely abandoned rooms. Some stuck me as obvious student shots, amatuer in their subject matter and composition, not really museum quality. However, others were extraordinarily powerful, speaking of a woman's despair - about self doubts, body image, sexuality and isolation. These pieces are strong feminist rejections and obsessions of the male induced beauty image. Many are accompanied by hand written captions and commentary from Francesca which lead us to ponder the damage done by stereotyping, media and advertising.
The show at SF Moma is up through February 20, 2012 and we strongly recommend this powerful and haunting exhibition.

The Sacred Science of Aleksandra Mir
Born in Lubin, Poland, Aleksandra is a citizen of both Sweden and the USA. She currently lives in London. Her collage series - The Dream and the Promise, combine religious iconography with images and symbols of space travel. They allude to the complicated, and not always contentious, relationship between science and faith.
"If angels and astronauts share the same sky,
isn't it time they were introduced?"

An Ephemeral Visit With Arabella
|Arabella Proffer
Dropped into the SF opening of Arabella Proffer's new solo show and finally got to meet her after years of a web relationship. She kindly shipped many works to Eclectix for exhibits from her home in Cleveland. Arabella and her new works were both looking stunning and ever-so-fashionable. This is a great little space and Arabella's works were a good fit among the "Loved To Death" store inventory. I have my heart set on acquiring a fantastic black umbrella/cane I saw there. And Arabella could certainly use one for her hurt leg, although it didn't stop her from mingling with all the art lovers there. Many of the pieces were studies of lovely ladies going thru barbaric medical procedures from the Middle Ages, each with an interesting little bio next to the work. These are fantasy histories compiled by the artist to accompany each image. My favorite in the show was the Black Madonna (below) a wonderfully strong & commanding piece. It was one of the smaller iconic pieces - they are all such a bargain, get on down and snap one up before they're gone! Enjoy the pictures from the show in the meantime.

Was it just my school, or were the seventies a strange time for primary-aged kids?
I don't remember a lot about my education in the early years, but these lessons - taught by my teachers and through interacting with my fellow students - are the ones that have stuck with me:
· Never ever run with scissors
· The skills involved in high-jumping, long-jumping and triple-jumping will hold you in good stead for decades to come so you'd better master them. The fosbury flop and the scissor kick are particularly important if you want to succeed in life.
· When walking with scissors, point the tip of the blades down towards the ground. If they point forwards, you may run into a fellow student and disembowel them. If they point upwards, you may fall on the scissors and disembowel yourself.
· If you're in the library, SHHHHHH!!!!
· A beautiful title page is foundational to the learning of any new topic - Australian history, fractions, poetry, seed germination.
· Needing to go to the toilet during class time is a crime and if you can't get through maths without needing to wee then you deserve everything that's coming for you.
· Milk is good for you. Even if it has been sitting in the sun for three hours and has clotted into large lumps.
· Those in possession of a 24 tin of Lakeland pencils in Grade 3 are destined to become the leaders of the western world.
· Glue is more valuable than gold. Put only a small dab of glue on each of the four corners of a worksheet before pasting it into a book. Any extra dollops you distribute are Wasteful. Yes. Wasteful with a capital W!
· Always pass scissors handles first. This may seem confusing because it means holding onto the blades while you pass the scissors, and goodness only knows how many fingers could be severed if there is some sort of interference (earthquake, crash-tackle) in the middle of the manoeuvre.
· Red and blue make purple. Red and yellow make orange. Blue and yellow make green. But if you don't clean your paintbrush in between dips, everything turns brown.
· If you don't brush your hair before you go to school, the photographer will turn up that day to take the annual school photos. Truly. Every time!
· Popularity is in direct proportion to monkey bar skills.
· Eleven elevens are one-hundred-and-twenty-one.
· Everything becomes a deadly missile, capable of taking out someone's eye, when thrown through the air. Even a scrunched up ball of paper. Even a feather. So pass, don't throw … unless you are in a war situation.
· It is important to be able to grow wheat on damp cotton wool. Nobody knows why. It just is.
· Sometimes the answers in the back of your Mental Maths books are wrong. Your sins will find you out so always calculate the answers for yourself.
· Nothing says 'I love you, Mummy Darling Heart!' like a macramé owl.
· Softballs are hard, despite the innocuous-sounding name.
What did you learn in primary school? Do share!

Raising kids is one of the greatest things I'll ever do with my life... but if I"m honest, it's probably also one of the hardest. We place so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect and to get it right ALL the time while constantly feeling like we're failing miserably... Or is that just me :/
We want the very best for our kids and I think are often expected to have all the answers immediately - which to be very honest, is completely unrealistic.
I remember when I first started teaching my kiddos French - I had NO idea what I was doing. Thankfully google taught me a little but I had to work out so many bits and pieces along the way. There was no roadmap - I just knew that FUN had to be in the priority, and if nothing else happened in our household (cleaning included), we would play and try and introduce some new words, somehow.
Fast forward a few years and my kids are now in school and if I'm honest, their French is a little rusty, but that's because they decided they really wanted to embrace the Italian language they're currently now learning at school. Who would have known that it would have been a great foundation to build their bilingual journey on!!! Who am I kidding... Of course, I did! :) haha
I think back to all those years ago, to how strong my kids French might have been if I'd been given the steps to walk and the tools to outwork them with.
This week, I took some time to stop and chat with some of the worlds leading experts when it comes to teaching little kids a language. Their advice would have been so helpful all those years ago, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that these tips will change many families worlds and hopefully empower their kids in their language journey to new levels.
We created 'The Bilingual Advantage: 10 Strategies Leading Langauge Experts are Teaching in 2018' which includes excerpts from interviews with:
- Adam Beck of BilingualMonkeys.com & BilingualZoo.com
- Chontelle Bonfiglio of BilinguaKidspot.com
- Filipa Pinto of LeToboggan.com.au
- Dr. Ute Limacher-Riebold of UtesInternationalLounge.com
- Kaci Schack of LanguagePreschools.com
- Stephanie Mead of InCultureParent.com
- Becky Morales of KidWorldCitizen.org
- Aileen Passariello-McAleer of MamaLingua.com
- Jennifer Brunk of SpanishPlayground.net
- Shannon Kelly of TheCulturedKid.com
The "The Bilingual Advantage," is a free 28-page PDF, which is jam-packed full of wisdom not just from educators but also from parents who have also successfully raised bilingual children - without knowing the target language. It provides actionable tips for parents and caregivers who want their children to grow up with a bilingual or multilingual edge and I hope you find courage as you read and take steps forward in your language journey with your own kids!

Jessica "Snuggles" Rakestraw is a total bookworm, long-distance hiker, blogger, and traveller living full time in a 5x8 converted cargo trailer with her husband and dog. Her blog dubbed "The Snuggle Diary" has been live for two years with consistent weekly posts. It is within these posts that she discusses various outdoor topics such as travelling and being a woman in the wilderness, all written with a touch of humour.
We were so close to the Smoky Mountains! It was unplanned but those adventures are usually the best ones. This was only a brief visit before the actual start of our full journey North.
My husband Darwin and I wanted to touch it, to feel this thing we had read about and researched for the last year. I felt almost a fraud to be traveling by car to this special spot. We were still several months early; I felt we had not earned the right to be here yet.
After a big breakfast in Gatlinburg, Tennessee we entered the Smoky Mountain National Park and began to drive up the steep roads through the Blue Ridge Mountains. We passed by the mountain overlooks we had seen before, climbing slowly further away from the city below.
We finally arrived at our first destination in awe, a view from which we have never considered the world. The highest point in the whole state of Tennessee, the tallest mountain in the park, and most importantly the highest point on the entire Appalachian Trail, Clingmans Dome.
From just the parking lot at the dome the view was spectacular but we climbed even further on foot. We were above the clouds when we finally arrived at the bottom of the grayish observation tower. We found ourselves surrounded by a dense Spruce-Fir Forest as we ascended the tower. Technically we had at this point, already taken our first steps on the Appalachian Trail as it ran right alongside the paved path to the dome. That dirt trail we so desired, however, would come next.
At the top of the tower we sat in silence, taking in the three-sixty views that encircled us. We breathed in the thin, chilly air lost in our thoughts. As we descended the tower it was then that I really took it in the trail; from this high it was only a small space in-between the trees. When we made it to the bottom of the tower, I stared at the thick painted line on a tree just a short distance in front of me. A White Blaze was before me, marking the Appalachian Trail.
We never said a word to each other but started down the trail heading north touching each blaze tenderly as we passed. Neither had to say it, we felt drawn by some unknown force to continue as the voices of the tourists at the dome faded away. I focused on my boots as they hit the soft damp earth. I continued further down the trail. I felt I could cry; I was home. We were home.
It was finally time to return, to make our way back to the life we had not cut ties with yet. I embraced the wooden trail sign that announced the mileage of the nearest shelters and landmarks on the Appalachian Trail; I felt I was saying goodbye to a dear friend. I could only hope that when I returned to this spot having walked here, the trail would still be willing to accept me. I would be apart of it somehow; we would be one.
How many more blazes would I be able to see then? Who would I be when I returned? What secrets of the trail would I know? I pondered these things as we drove back down the mountain. Following a paved road back to a society we were still partially part of.
You can read more of Jessica's adventures on her blog "The Snuggle Diaries".

I saw this video here and I thought I'd share my point of view on the subject. This advice comes from a guy who belongs to a different generation and to a certain degree he has a point, his arguments make sense BUT.
In my opinion following your dreams is still a must because it might be the only way to figure out that your passion and your skills don't match. One of the ways of finding out what you are not good at is to try out that specific activity and seeing the results.
The video applies to everything in life even to photography. If you're passionate about photography it doesn't mean you're going to be a good photographer. The world doesn't need for more professional photographers anyway.
What do you think? Is your passion perfectly aligned with your skills?

The demand for property to invest in in the UK has been no secret in the last few months
Several estate agents have recently said that on average ten interested parties are chasing every home that comes onto the market. This is leading to a trend for much quicker decisions and increasingly more purchases being made on a whim. Ocean Finance's latest findings have stated that more than a quarter of people who are investing in property in the UK will make their purchase final having only viewed it once.
A tenth of people looking to purchase will have spent fewer than 15 minutes looking at their potential new asset before they agree to a deal. This is something of a change from the risk-averse strategy many will have had over the last few years, when they had to weigh up the pros and cons of any purchase before they went through with it. It shows a movement in the strength of the market, and the way that buyers react to demand, as well as a rising level of confidence – investors wouldn't be putting their money in if the potential for returns wasn't high enough, after all.
"Maybe after waiting several years for the financial crisis to end and the housing market to take off again, most people know exactly what they are looking for. But it's quite shocking that so many people spend less time on choosing their new home than they would watching EastEnders or Coronation Street," said Ian Williams of Ocean Finance. He also advised that it is better to view homes at a variety of times throughout the day in order to see the issues you may not have spotted the last time.
"Issues like damp or poor light can be difficult to spot in the evening. Likewise, what might seem like the dream property could turn out to be a nightmare once the neighbours come home in the evening," he added.
When it comes to investing on a whim, it seems that young people are surprisingly less inclined to do. Some nine per cent of 18 to 24-year olds told Ocean Finance that they would visit any property at least five times before they parted with money. This was compared to just two per cent of those aged over 35.
With this in mind now is the time to use Fossey Taylor to build your investment property portfolio.

Two teenagers in east London who were doused with a 'noxious substance' in a suspected acid attack screamed their skin was "peeling off", witnesses said.
The men, believed to be in their late teens, ran into a newsagency after they were struck with the substance on Tuesday evening (UK time).
The newsagent told the Daily Mail how the pair frantically started pouring water over them, and one splashed water down his trousers.
"I was really scared. They were crying and saying, 'Put the water on me.'"
Two ambulances, three fire engines and police were called to the scene in Roman Road.
Video shows paramedics attending the incident and splashing water on the face of one of the victims.
Another man is shown sitting on the pavement as he is treated by medics.
In a statement about the two teenagers, the Metropolitan Police said: "Both have been taken to an east London hospital for treatment after an unknown liquid was thrown at them. Their injuries are not life threatening. "
An investigation has begun, but no arrests have been made.
The incident came after five people were targeted in 90 minutes during a spate of attacks in the north and east of London on July 13.
The following evening another victim suffered a similar attack in the suburb of Dagenham.
Following the incidents, UK police announced officers would be issued acid response kits, following a spate of attacks across London in recent weeks.
The country's Home Secretary Amber Rudd has suggested acid attackers should face life sentences if convicted.

The serum gamma-globulin fraction from patients with allergic bronchial asthma (8/8), in contrast to the fraction from nonatopic control subjects (10/10), was found to inhibit the positive chronotropic action of the beta 2-selective adrenergic agonist, clenbuterol, on pyruvate- or lactate-treated cultured neonatal rat heart myocytes. No inhibition was exerted on the positive chronotropic response to prenalterol, which acted via beta 1-adrenergic receptors. The inhibitory effect of the asthmatic gamma-globulins was concentration dependent. It could nearly be abolished by immunoprecipitation with antihuman gamma-globulin and antihuman IgG, but not with antihuman IgM. This finding means that the inhibitory immunoglobulins of the patients with asthma were chiefly autoantibodies of the IgG isotype, capable of cross-reacting with chronotropic beta 2-adrenergic receptors on the cultured rat cardiomyocytes. These findings provide support for the notion that autoimmunity plays a role in the impairment of beta-adrenergic responsiveness in patients with allergic bronchial asthma.

Sharon Gannon: What is Poetry?
Working with sound is what poets do: using language, yes, but not in the conventional way of trying to say something about anything. Everyone knows that you can't truly describe anything merely by talking about it. Whatever you say will at best be only your own view of it at a particular moment, and reality is more than your immediate perception of the sequence of moments that create time. But nonetheless something essential about how things and feelings come about can be revealed through sound, more so than through sight, smell, taste or even touch. All that appears as physical matter derives its source from the non-physical realm of spirit and sound comprises that world of spirit.
Perhaps poetry is like arranging flowers of sound. By moving sound shapes in particular ways one can create a sensual atmosphere, in the process causing oneself, and perhaps the listener/reader, to stumble upon or at least approach the pulse of being, if only for a moment. This awakening of the senses brings about insight, and insight is where a poet's passion lies. Insight, not love, is the greatest power of the heart. Without insight there can be no realization of love, because the inclusiveness of love depends on the power of insight. Through insight connections are made; you "connect the dots" and then dis-ease and separation can dissolve. But insight is graceful; it cannot be made to happen. Nevertheless, there are things you can do to facilitate the arising of insight. Harmonizing with beauty is one of those things. The elements of beauty are contained in poetry because to succeed a poem must align itself with beauty, which is the essential power of Mother Nature. She is the matrix of being, and she manifests beautifully through music and meter.
In poetry, it is not enough to just say something or to express what is on your mind or even what you think is in your heart. A poem must be more vital. It must strip you bare and it must not be elitist. It should facilitate the arising of insight in the reader/listener, and it doesn't have to speak in a mundane language that everyone can readily understand, because to understand implies that you are separated; you are "standing under." Understanding belongs to the realm of the intellect and intellectual, rational comprehension is not the goal of poetry.

Every moment somewhere on earth a miracle happens. It is said that if you believe in miracles then you will see them happening. I am a believer in miracles. I am going to share with you a story about a miracle.
On one winter afternoon, as we arrived back from a shopping trip, in the corner of our garden, beside a wall we saw a bird, struggling to fly but facing difficulty lifting its weight. It was a beautiful Indian Ringneck Parakeet, a rare bird for this part of the world, usually seen in Asian countries. The broken wing made it easy to capture. We decided to help the bird and nurse it back to health. During the course we discovered that it was originally from India. It was a very intelligent parrot and a proficient speaker. Mithu had vocabulary of over a thousand words. It's name was Mithu.
Below is the transcript of the chat between myself and Mithu.
Me: How did you injure your wing? And where were you flying to?
Mithu: Pandit Ji. I am searching for my Pandit Ji. We came to the U.K., because his doctor prescribed him to go traveling as a last resort for his incurable condition.
Me: What's wrong with Pandit Ji, is he ill?
Mithu: Yes, he became ill ever since he developed a conscience. I told him to get rid of it, it does not help his weak heart. The old fool does not listen. I mean, he has been preaching it all his life without practicing it, why change now?
Me: So what is bothering him?
Mithu: The same thing that is bothering other Brahman leaders in India. They fear change, thinking that Hinduism and Brahman supremacy is under threat.
I keep telling him that the Brahman rule did not crumble under the Mughals or the British, so why fret.
But Pandit Ji says due to its rigid caste system (the holy cow) it is incapable of adapting to modern post-internet world. Truth be told, they have milked them splendidly (blows whistle in laughter, like a whistle-blower).
Me: You mean they milked the holy cows?
Mithu: No! I mean they (Brahmans) are the holy cows. The Brahmans have benefited the most from the Varna system.
Me: Oh, I see.
Mithu: Pandit Ji says that fear has overshadowed the Brahman elite's ability for reasoning. They do not want to compete and prefer their hereditary top positions. Their inability to embrace the future has pushed them into the hands of Hindu fanatics. Their myopia towards Hindu militancy as a panacea for the plight of the masses will only hasten their demise. Bringing the genie of militancy out of the bottle is one thing, putting it back into the bottle is another. The Hindu fanatics who are targeting the minorities may spread the flames of hatred to all parts of India. This may not end well for India and could lead to disintegration of India.
Me: Disintegration? How can that be?
Mithu: Pandit Ji says another group of super Brahmans have taken control of India now. Pandit Ji calls them the parasites. The global financial elite (bankers and multinational corporations) have high stakes in Indian economy now. They want to dominate the usury based banking system and loot the masses.
Already India's push for digital currency is failing the masses and businesses are suffering. The government policies for farmers and health sectors have worsened the already dire situation, leading to thousands of farmers committing suicide and hundreds of thousands of children dying of malnutrition related diseases in many areas. All kinds of negative powers are being unleashed in India.
Me: I have seen news of vigilantes attacking Muslim and Christian minorities.
Mithu: Yes, the Brahmans are planting seeds for civil conflicts with attacks on minorities. Cow vigilantes and Hindu Yuva Vahini are just few of the examples. The Hindus extremists are adamant that if they can eliminate Islam from India, then Brahmans can continue to rule over the Dalits for centuries more to come.
Me: Why target Muslims?
Mithu: Muslims in India do not suffer discrimination like Dalits do. Islam offers what the Dalits always lacked, equality, dignity, self-respect and justice. The Brahmans who count for 13% of the population want to continue to deny more than 1 billion Indians equal rights. It is these masses who are the real targets of the Brahman outbursts.
Me: Yes I see what you mean. Your Pandit Ji seems like a very wise person.
Mithu: Wise? Do you know I have not eaten good food in his house ever since he started to empathise with the poor and the destitute? I told him I liked him more when he used to bring me plenty of quality pistachios and nuts.
The senile has given all his wealth back to the poor. Says, he has found happiness and peace in helping the poor, rather than taking from them.
He feels god has blessed him with a miracle (conscience) and restored his mind. But I feel I can no longer survive on the new chapatti diet.
Then Mithu saw the open window and flew out. We never saw him again. I guess nothing lasts forever.
Further reading:
The Hindu religion has a rigid caste system, the Varna. Due to Varna class system in the subcontinent, the Dalits have been treated like blacks in America's slavery days.
- Brahmans occupy the top position
- Kshatriyas (political rulers and soldiers) in second place.
- Vaishyas (merchant)
- Shudras (labourers, peasants, artisans, and servant)
- Dalits are at very bottom of the hierarchy (the street sweepers and latrine cleaners).
The problem arises when rigid system compels people to acquire the appropriate occupation according to their caste. In the old days a person belonging to a certain caste could never think about a career outside of his or her hereditary career path.
Now things are changing for the positive and people do mix in restaurants and cinemas. Social and employment barriers are being demolished albeit too fast for the Brahmans and too slow for those who are choking under the old system.

and Procedural History
operates a general medical/surgical facility in Mobile
("the medical center"). On September 4, 2015, the
plaintiff/respondent, Connie McLain Snow
("Connie"), filed, in his capacity as administrator
of the estate of Rhonda Lynn Snow ("Rhonda"),
deceased, [1] a complaint in the Mobile Circuit Court
against MIMC and numerous fictitiously named defendants.
Connie's complaint alleged a single count of
negligence[2]pursuant to Alabama's Medical Liability
Act ("the AMLA")[3] in connection with Rhonda's
treatment at the medical center on December 10-11, 2013, for
surgery on her right foot. According to the complaint, Rhonda
was, on December 10, 2013, transferred following surgery to
an inpatient room "for pain control and further
management of antibiotics." At around 5:50 a.m. on
December 11, 2013, Lateedra Barnes, R.N., an employee of
MIMC, allegedly administered a dose of Dilaudid to Rhonda;
thereafter, at 6:40 a.m. Rhonda was found
"non-responsive" in her room and the staff at the
medical center were unable to resuscitate her. Rhonda
remained on life support until her death on January 3, 2014.
In his complaint, Connie alleged that MIMC was negligent in
developing effective policies and procedures regarding, and
in training its personnel on, the proper "care,
monitoring, diagnostics and/or treatment of Rhonda" and
that it had breached the accepted standard of care in its
treatment of Rhonda. More specifically, Connie alleged that
MIMC's employees had "failed to appropriately
monitor the respiratory depressive effect" of Dilaudid
on Rhonda following administration of the drug.
complaint was accompanied by a combined set of "First
Interrogatories and Requests for Production" of
documents directed to MIMC. Among the documents Connie sought
from MIMC were documents related to certain MIMC policies and
procedures both at the time of Rhonda's treatment and
"currently." Other requests sought "all"
procedural rules governing the administration of opiate
medication to certain patients, including those suffering
from sleep apnea, obesity, or obstructed airways and/or for
the "ongoing clinical monitoring" of such patients,
pain-management assessment of such patients, and
"medication errors." In response, MIMC provided
responsive documentation to some requests and objected to
others on the basis that they were "not
discoverable" on various grounds, including that they
were privileged under either § 6-5-551[4] and/or §
subsequently moved to compel "full and complete
responses" to his first discovery requests and further
requested that the trial court require MIMC to
"substantiate" the claimed privileges with a
privilege log conforming to the requirements of Rule
26(b)(6)(A), Ala. R. Civ. P. MIMC filed in March 2016 a
response in opposition to Connie's motion to compel and
an accompanying request for a protective order as to the
personnel files of certain individuals. MIMC's response
was accompanied by affidavit testimony from its risk manager,
Linda A. Gamper, aimed at establishing that communications
and documents prepared in response to Connie's potential
claim both were attorney work product prepared in
anticipation of litigation and "were created for quality
assurance purposes to assess the quality of care of all
patients at [the medical center], " rather than in the
ordinary course of MIMC's business. MIMC later filed, at
the apparent request of the trial court, a supplemental brief
discussing caselaw interpreting and applying both §
6-5-551 and § 22-21-8.
a hearing, the trial court entered, on April 29, 2016, an
order compelling MIMC to respond to Connie's first
discovery requests. In that order, the trial court emphasized
"the distinction between discoverability and
admissibility" and noted that, although admissibility of
the responses would be considered at a later date, it found
as follows on the issue of
"6. MIMC shall ... produce indices of all MIMC's
hospital policies and procedures and indices of all its
nursing policies and procedures which pertain to patient care
from 2013 through current date.
"7. With respect to [Connie's] Requests for
Production ... having to do with MIMC's hospital policies
and procedures, MIMC shall ... produce all such requested
policies and procedures as were in existence in 2013 through
the current date.
"MIMC shall ... identify with specificity whether it has
a policy and procedure responsive to each of [Connie's]
Requests for Production. ...
"If MIMC cannot produce or reproduce each such requested
policy and procedure, it shall specify the specific reason or
reasons why said documents cannot be produced.
"8. With respect to [Connie's] Requests for
Production [regarding orientation materials relating to
opioids, including those presented to Barnes], MIMC shall ...
produce all requested orientation materials in existence from
the time ... Barnes was initially employed through current
date concerning patient care.
"9. MIMC shall ... produce all documents and things
accumulated in its Risk Management Department concerning care
and treatment in December 2013 of Rhonda ..., including
investigative reports, sentinel event reports, witness
statements, photographs, digital or electronic medical data,
the ampules of Dilaudid administered, Code Blue resuscitative
notes, Hill ROM data concerning each person who entered
[Rhonda's] room on December 11, 2013, and any video
surveillance of persons entering, present in, or leaving
[Rhonda's] [r]oom ... on December 11, 2013."
trial court also ordered MIMC to produce a privilege log for
all documents withheld from production as privileged under
either § 6-5-551 or § 22-21-8. It further directed:
"As for all documents or things withheld, each and every
one of them shall be sequentially Bates stamped numbered from
MIMC ... so the Court can determine which, if any, of the
withheld documents should be produced for the Court's
in camera inspection and determination of whether
any one or more should be ordered produced in response to
[Connie's] discovery requests."
On May
13, 2016, MIMC filed a "Motion to Reconsider and Motion
for Protective Order" in which, among other relief, MIMC
asked to be excused from certain enumerated provisions of the
trial court's April 29, 2016, order, including, among
other objections, "the production of information
protected by ... §§ 22-21-8 and 6-5-551."
subsequently propounded a second set of requests for
production to MIMC. Those new requests sought, among other
things, certain "surgical postoperative standard orders
made available to physicians ... from December 2013 to the
present." MIMC objected to producing the requested
documents on grounds including the exemptions in §
6-5-551 and § 22-21-8. At or around this same time,
Connie also propounded a second set of interrogatories to
MIMC that, among other requests, sought information regarding
MIMC's accreditation status and a third set of requests
for production seeking information pertaining to any
documentation evidencing MIMC's response to "The
Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alert #49, Safe Use of
Opioids in Hospitals." MIMC again objected, citing
§ 6-5-551, § 22-21-8, and the attorney-client
privilege. MIMC did, however, produce certain documentation,
including "all policies and procedures in place in
December of 2013." Connie subsequently propounded to
MIMC a fourth set of requests for production seeking
information "from 2012 to the present" on any and
all communications or correspondence between MIMC and either
its employees or other health-care providers regarding the
dispensation of "narcotics, opioids, Dilaudid and/or
Hydromorphone" to patients generally, and to certain
high-risk patients specifically, and regarding the monitoring
of patients following administration of the above-described
August 12, 2016, the trial court entered an order requiring
MIMC to produce the documents sought by the second set of
requests for production, including reports tracking
Barnes's activities and locations on December 10-11,
2013; any and all "surgical postoperative standard
orders made available to physicians at [the medical center]
for management of postoperative pain from December 2013 to
the present"; orthopaedic postsurgical standing orders
for Dilaudid; "all surgical postoperative standard
orders made available to physicians while treating patients
at [the medical center] which provide for the use of
continuous pulse oximetry and/or capnography for monitoring
postoperative patients who have been prescribed opioid
medications" from December 2013 to present; and the
precise standardized order used for postoperative monitoring.
However, as before, the trial court permitted MIMC to provide
for the court's in camera review any documents
it objected to producing and a privilege log establishing the
basis of each such objection. On August 30, 2016, MIMC sought
both "reconsideration" and clarification of the
trial court's August 12 production order as well as the
entry of a protective order declaring orders pertaining to
any patient other than Rhonda and any time frame other than
December 10-11, 2013, exempt from production pursuant to
§ 6-5-551. MIMC later supplemented that motion; in its
supplemental filing, MIMC explained that it had produced the
2013 indices of all MIMC policies and procedures and
Barnes's orientation transcript for the period beginning
with her initial orientation and concluding on December 11,
Connie amended his complaint. Specifically, he added
allegations that, in relation to Dilaudid's potentially
deadly side effect of respiratory depression and/or arrest,
16 months before December 2013 medical literature aimed at
helping hospitals formulate and implement policies for
ongoing clinical monitoring of at-risk patients had been
distributed but that MIMC had failed to act appropriately in
response; the amendment identified numerous ways in which
MIMC and the fictitiously named defendants had allegedly
"negligently departed from the accepted standard of care
applicable to similarly situated healthcare provider
which was in effect at the time." (Emphasis
added.) The amendment further added a claim alleging
spoliation of the entirety of Rhonda's medical records by
MIMC. At or around this same time, MIMC filed its answers to
Connie's second set of interrogatories in which it
objected to producing information pertaining to its
accreditation status on the ground that the information was
protected from discovery pursuant to both § 6-5-551 and
§ 22-21-8.
Connie moved to compel MIMC's responses to both his
second interrogatories and third requests for production of
documents. He also moved to require MIMC "to fully and
completely respond to" his fourth requests for
production. MIMC provided its responses to Connie's
fourth requests for production of documents. More
specifically, MIMC produced responsive materials that had
been provided to Barnes, but objected to the requests to the
extent they also sought
"information about caregivers who were not involved in
[Rhonda's] care and treatment..., information about
facilities other than [the medical center], ... information
for a period of time that pre-date[d] ... Barnes'[s]
employment at [MIMC], and as seeking information for a period
of time after the acts and/or omissions made the basis of
[Connie's] Complaint, all in violation of the protection
from discovery provided by ... § 6-5-551."
further objected to the extent the requests allegedly sought
information related to accreditation, quality assurance,
credentialing, or similar functions in alleged violation of
§ 22-21-8.
November 10, 2016, subsequent to a hearing, the trial court
entered an order denying MIMC's motion seeking
reconsideration of the trial court's earlier April 29,
2016, order requiring MIMC to respond to Connie's first
requests for production of documents; excepting documents
allegedly subject to attorney-client privilege, the trial
court directed that MIMC "prepare a privilege log, Bates
stamp documents [withheld based on § 22-21-8 and §
6-5-551] and produce ... said documents for an in
camera review" with an accompanying privilege log.
Also on November 10, 2016, the trial court entered a
different order denying MIMC's motion for reconsideration
and clarification of the trial court's August 12, 2016,
order and its request for a protective order. In that order,
the trial court directed that MIMC produce the documentation
covered by the August 12, 2016, order and sought by
Connie's second requests for production, subject to a
privilege log identifying any withheld documents for the
trial court's in camera review, including any
documents MIMC continued to maintain were privileged. In a
third order entered on that same date, the trial court
further granted Connie's motion to compel responses to
his second interrogatories and third requests for production
of documents and provided that MIMC file a privilege log
regarding all documents MIMC argued were privileged for the
trial court's in camera review. Also on November
10, the trial court entered a fourth order regarding
Connie's motion to compel responses to his fourth
requests for production; in that order, the trial court
ordered MIMC to produce the requested documentation but,
again, allowed MIMC to provide both a privilege log and
documents for the trial court's in camera
filed a motion seeking additional time to comply with the
trial court's November 10, 2016, orders. The trial court
granted MIMC's motion, providing an additional 21 days or
until December 22, 2016, for MIMC "to comply or
otherwise respond."
December 22, 2016, MIMC filed notice evidencing that it had,
as directed, submitted over 6, 000 pages of documents and 2
accompanying privilege logs to the trial court for an in
camera review; according to MIMC, these challenged
documents were, because of the parties' resolution of
other disputes, responsive only to Connie's first
requests for production --namely the documents sought by
paragraphs 6-9 of the trial court's April 29, 2016,
order, as set out above. See note 6, supra. On that same
date, MIMC also filed an explanation specifying the
privileges allegedly protecting each document from production
and discussing applicable authority.
also separately filed motions "to reconsider" and
for a protective order with regard to the November 10, 2016,
orders respectively requiring it to respond to Connie's
second interrogatories, third requests for production, and
fourth requests for production. As with MIMC's previous
filings, the thrust of its objection was primarily that the
information sought was exempt from discovery under §
6-5-551 and/or § 22-21-8. MIMC also again submitted, as
support for the above-described motions, affidavit testimony
from Gamper attesting that the materials in the
risk-management file regarding Rhonda's treatment at
MIMC, which had been produced for the trial court's
in camera inspection, included documents covered by
the nonparty subpoena served on MIMC in the separate
insurance litigation, see note 7, supra, as well as certain
policies prepared for quality-assurance purposes. Gamper
further testified that the release of those documents would
be prejudicial both to MIMC and to all the patients treated
there. A separate affidavit from Gamper established that
other documents produced for the trial court's in
camera review in response to Connie's first requests
for production had been prepared in anticipation of
both opposed MIMC's motions and announced his intention
to depose MIMC personnel in order to fully and
"substantively" respond to MIMC's claims of
privilege. Upon the conclusion of Gamper's deposition,
Connie filed a lengthy motion seeking to strike all three of
Gamper's affidavits. He contended that Gamper's
affidavits had been prepared by counsel and were not based on
Gamper's personal knowledge; that her statements as to
the import of the pertinent documents were conclusory; and
that MIMC's counsel had, during Gamper's deposition,
allegedly repeatedly instructed Gamper not to answer
questions "about her personal knowledge of the
statements offered by MIMC to substantiate its claims of
privilege." MIMC opposed Connie's request to strike
Gamper's affidavits.
On May
5, 2017, the trial court entered an order on the various
pending discovery motions remaining before it at that time.
Specifically, the trial court:
"1. DENIE[D] [MIMC]'s December 22, 2016, Motion to
Reconsider and Motion for Protective Order Related to
Court's November 10, 2016, Order Compelling [MIMC] to
Respond to [Connie's] Second Interrogatories ...;
"2. DENIE[D] [MIMC]'s December 22, 2016, Motion to
Reconsider and Motion for Protective Order Related to
Court's November 10, 2016, Order Compelling [MIMC] to
Respond to [Connie's] Third Requests for Production ...;
"3. DENIE[D] [MIMC]'s December 22, 2016, Motion to
Reconsider and Motion for Protective Order Related to
Court's November 10, 2016, Order Compelling [MIMC] to
Respond to [Connie's] Fourth Requests for Production
Also on
May 5, 2017, the trial court entered another order
identifying by Bates stamp numbers the items among those
provided to the trial court for its in camera review
that MIMC would also be required to produce.[8] There is nothing
in the limited materials before us suggesting that the trial
court granted Connie's motion seeking to strike
Gamper's affidavits. See note 11, infra.
sought additional time to comply with the trial court's
production orders as well as additional time to
"otherwise respond, " including possibly seeking
mandamus relief from this Court. The trial court granted MIMC
until May 19, 2017, to act. MIMC filed, on May 19, 2017, its
initial mandamus petition in case no. 1160731 seeking relief
from the May 5, 2017, order requiring it to produce certain
items MIMC had previously provided to the trial court for
in camera review; MIMC subsequently filed, on June
12, 2017, its second mandamus petition in case no. 1160815
seeking relief from the trial court's May 5, 2017, order
denying MIMC's various motions for reconsideration and
for protective orders.[9] This Court consolidated the petitions,
ordered answers and briefs, and stayed enforcement of the
trial court's orders pending our review.
of Review
"'Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy and will be
granted only when there is "(1) a clear legal right in
the petitioner to the order sought, (2) an imperative duty
upon the respondent to perform, accompanied by a refusal to
do so, (3) the lack of another adequate remedy, and (4)
properly invoked jurisdiction of the court." Ex
parte Alfab, Inc., 586 So.2d 889, 891 (Ala. 1991). In
Ex parte Ocwen Federal Bank, FSB, 872 So.2d 810
(Ala. 2003), this Court announced that it would no longer
review discovery orders pursuant to extraordinary writs.
However, we did identify four circumstances in which a
discovery order may be reviewed by a petition for a writ of
mandamus. Such circumstances arise (a) when a privilege is
disregarded, see Ex parte Miltope Corp., 823 So.2d
640, 644-45 (Ala. 2001) .... The burden rests on the
petitioner to demonstrate that its petition presents such an
exceptional case--that is, one in which an appeal is not an
adequate remedy. See Ex parte Consolidated Publ'g
Co., 601 So.2d 423, 426 (Ala. 1992).'
"Ex parte Dillard Dep't Stores, Inc., 879
So.2d 1134, 1136-37 (Ala. 2003)."
Ex parte Fairfield Nursing & Rehab. Ctr.,
L.L.C., 22 So.3d 445, 447 (Ala. 2009).
"Because discovery involves a considerable amount of
discretion on the part of the trial court, the standard this
Court will apply on mandamus review is whether there has been
a clear showing that the trial court [exceeded] its
discretion. Ex parte Clarke, 582 So.2d 1064, 1067
(Ala. 1991); Ex parte McTier, 414 So.2d 460 (Ala.
Ex parte Compass Bank, 686 So.2d 1135, 1137 (Ala.
Case No. 1160731
In this
petition, MIMC challenges the trial court's May 5, 2017,
order both requiring production of the documentation
previously provided for that court's in camera
review and compelling MIMC's response to
Connie's first and second requests for production.
Section 6-5-551 Exemption
first contends that the trial court exceeded its discretion
in compelling production of "policies and procedures,
educational/training material and physician orders that are
not related to the acts and/or omissions alleged in
[Connie's] complaint." More specifically, MIMC
maintains that the trial court erroneously ordered MIMC to
produce, in response to Connie's first and second
requests for production, as described in more detail above,
policies, procedures, training materials, and physician
standing orders implemented by MIMC after December
10 and 11, 2013, because, it argues, those items are exempt
from discovery under § 6-5-551. We agree.
6-5-551 states:
"In any action for injury, damages, or wrongful death,
whether in contract or in tort, against a health care
provider for breach of the standard of care, whether
resulting from acts or omissions in providing health care, or
the hiring, training, supervision, retention, or termination
of care givers, the [AMLA] shall govern the parameters of
discovery and all aspects of the action. The plaintiff
shall include in the complaint filed in the action a detailed
specification and factual description of each act and
omission alleged by plaintiff to render the health care
provider liable to plaintiff and shall include when feasible
and ascertainable the date, time, and place of the act or
acts. The plaintiff shall amend his complaint timely
upon ascertainment of new or different acts or omissions upon
which his claim is based; provided, however, that any such
amendment must be made at least 90 days before trial. Any
complaint which fails to include such detailed specification
and factual description of each act and omission shall be
subject to dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which
relief may be granted. Any party shall be prohibited from
conducting discovery with regard to any other act or omission
or from introducing at trial evidence of any other act or
(Emphasis added.) In Ex parte Anderson, 789 So.2d
190, 195 (Ala. 2000), the Court explained:
"If all conditions of the statute are met, then any
other acts or omissions of the defendant health-care provider
are exempt from discovery, and the discovering party is
prohibited from introducing evidence of them at trial. See
§ 6-5-551. Such exemptions would include information
regarding any other incidents regarding [the health-care
provider and its] alleged breach of the standard of
as in Ex parte Anderson, it appears undisputed that
Connie's complaint falls within the purview of §
6-5-551. See Ex parte Coosa Valley Health Care,
Inc., 789 So.2d 208, 217 (Ala. 2000) ("This
Court's decision in Ex parte McCollough[, 747
So.2d 887 (Ala. 1999), ] recognized that an action against a
health-care provider alleging negligent hiring, training, and
supervision is an 'action ... for breach of the standard
of care' and is thus governed by § 6-5-551
...."). As such, as the Court also held in Ex parte
Anderson, § 6-5-551 precludes "[d]iscovery of
any incidents of malpractice other than those specifically
alleged in the complaint." 789 So.2d at 198. As set out

Eco honeymoons
We have been chatting with various people and researching how to have a more eco friendly honeymoon. The first in a series of posts (so we can dream about sunnier climes as the nights draw in!) we share one of finds. Bouteco share hotels they have approved to meet their eco standards and that provide luxury and a positive community impact. I think one of the key words here is 'luxury'. Sometimes when you first hear the words "eco hotel" you think of of the grid wooden huts, though I wouldn't mind one of them for a weekend, on your honeymoon you day dream about a little bit of luxury. So having had a gander around their site and a chat with them we are really keen to share with you their site.
Wowwee just look at that setting. Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, Hermanus, South Africa "A luxury eco-reserve close to the Southern tip of Africa tucked between mountains, forest and sea.
The Maldives is often on the honeymoon wish list so divert your attention to this place Soneva Fushi, Maldives "Set in a Unesco Biosphere Reserve Soneva Fushi there are many initiatives under the Soneva Foundation umbrella. The preservation of the environment is essential to them and responsible tourism plays a key role in the protection of the ecosystem and endangered species.
Head over to the states and choose this eco friendly hotel in NYC! "10-story sustainable ground-up development right by Dumbo in Brooklyn....Triple Clear water filters in every tap, sink, and shower; rainwater reclamation; state-of-the-art, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems and more."
Keep it local and head to Cornwall (assuming you aren't already there - if you are you lucky so and so!!), one of the most beautiful parts of the UK - I'm biased as I spent my honeymoon here (though the budget didn't quite stretch to here but it was on my radar and looks sooooo romantic!!). The Scarlet Hotel "Arguably the UK's best boutique eco hotel, The Scarlet's award-winning Ayurveda-inspired spa and art-filled restaurant are part of why this glam grown-up getaway is also fantastically green.... Since its inception they've thought about the impact their every action and activity has on the environment and their local community".
Can't find what you are looking for on their site? Then get in touch with them so they can help you plan the perfect eco honeymoon.
More on eco honeymoons coming up in the new year!

When you have a notebook like the Inspiron 2200, you expect to be able to use it when you're out without the need for AC power. When you first bought your notebook, you probably got about four hours of battery life from it. That's some time ago, though, and batteries don't last forever. If you get a replacement Inspiron 2200 battery from us, you can enjoy the original four hours of battery life again.Note that this battery is also suitable for the Dell Inspiron 1000, 1200 and 2200 notebooks, as well as the Latitude 110L.
Why Get an Original Inspiron 2200 Battery?
When you buy a brand new, original Dell battery from us, you can be sure it's going to work with your notebook. Cheap compatible batteries are often built to lower standards and likely to fail sooner. Sometimes they don't even physically fit into your notebook and have to be forced or taped into position.What's more, an Inspiron 2200 battery from us is very reasonably priced anyway, so why bother with a cheap compatible?
Need Other Parts for Your Inspiron 2200?
While we have a huge range of batteries, we also stock many other commonly required parts for older notebooks. Often these are hard to find or expensive to buy directly from Dell.It's quite common for AC adapters to fail eventually, and this can be a huge problem if you need to use your notebook or even just get data off it. Ordering a spare PA-16 AC adapter doesn't cost that much, and you'll be prepared if the old one fails. You could also make your life easier by keeping one at home and one in the office.Notebook keyboards also wear out over time. The letters and symbols wear off the most commonly used keys, and some keys may start sticking because of occasional spills. Some keys may stop working altogether. Fitting a replacement Inspiron 2200 keyboard isn't that hard, and you can often find videos online that guide you through the process. If you bought a basic Inspiron 2200 without a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, you might want to consider adding a Wireless MiniPCI card. This will enable you to use Wi-Fi without the need for USB dongles and such like. Finally, if your DVD+/-RW drive is playing up, we also stock replacement DVD modules.All these products are original Dell products, with the exception of the Wi-Fi card, which is made by Intel for Dell.
Caring for Your New Inspiron 2200 Battery
Once you've received and fitted your new battery, you probably want to make sure you get the best life possible for as long as you can. Here are a few tips.Firstly, try to avoid fully draining the battery. Getting that last few percent from a battery makes it work much harder. If you can shut down at 10%, it'll make life easier for the battery.Secondly, if you work on AC power a lot, you can always take the battery out. This avoids a lot of daily wear and tear from trickle charging and heat buildup.Finally, make sure your notebook can cool itself. Heat buildup can damage many components, including the battery. Some people like to use a notebook cooler to make sure the underside is well ventilated.

In my coffee shop I sit next to a display case that sells a bunch of crap. Women get drawn into this case like a tractor beam and browse through it before ordering their drink. I've never seen a woman browse the case after getting her drink because then she would have to go to the cash register twice if she likes something. When walking in girls only see my back, but when walking out they see my Middle Eastern face. What does that mean?
Well when a girl wants me to talk to her, she checks out the case on the way out. She just stands there looking at the merchandise without really looking. If she's cute I have an opener for this very situation: "You know some of those cups are of excellent quality."
"Oh yeah?"
"No I'm kidding—they put me here and give me free drinks just to say that. 😛 "
It's very rare that a sober girl will give an obvious green light during the daytime (unless she is older and horny). Sometimes they don't even make eye contact with you. What a normal girl does instead is give you a very small opportunity to say something. When you are moving away from bars and clubs you need to pick up on cues like proximity or else you will go on thinking no girl wants to talk to you and return to poisoning your liver just to meet girls.
If I have a feeling a girl wants to talk to me, I will be right most of the time even though I'm not sure why. I think it's because my subconscious can pick up on things that I can't. Thank you evolution!

"Fill your eyes with the beauty of a thousand worlds, so that everyone you look upon feels loved." – Zdravko Stefanovic
You are so much more than your physical beings, you contain such depth and wonders you would astound yourself. Growth is an inward journey. When we learn to appreciate and love the beauty and kindness we have within ourselves we are then able to more easily see the beauty in others. We must first learn to truly love ourselves before we are able to love another.

A couple years ago, friends of mine had their first baby. Shortly afterwards, they visited. For the first time in knowing this couple, I saw sheer defeat in their faces. Eventually, these looks dissipated into the joyful and positive faces of two amazing parents. But the memory stuck with me. Here were two strong, capable adults who seemed completely broken by this adorable blob of an infant they had created.
I went through my own version of this transition this fall. Boundaries were tested, authority was established, and I'm finding strength within myself that I never knew I had.Read More

Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8.1 Pro,
Where to start. Just one of those cards should be plenty enough to play any game at just about any resolution at max settings plus some AA. The odds are good that something else in your system is holding you back. Drivers can also be a problem with those particular cards.
If it's an Alienware product you might try asking them why your system isn't performing up to your expectations. You might also try running 3Dmark Vantage because it will give you a good starting point to gage your system against systems like your own.
As for your processor speed changing. The i7 uses a turbo mode which changes the CPU multi depending on load and there is also a version of speed step and or C1E halt state which down clocks the CPU when it's idle but neither of those should be causing you any problems with your cards.

Remember it's Alienware(Dell).
No matter what it could just be a bios issue or improper overclocking. He mentioned his CPU was running at almost half what it should.

There are clear correlations between employee engagement, performance, productivity, and ultimately, profitability. A company�s HR department has the ability to impact employee engagement, which translates into a positive change in a company�s bottom line. iCIMS Recruit helps create an employment brand, which helps boost employee engagement.
A recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics study shows that employee turnover costs can range from 30% to 200% of a worker�s annual salary. With less engaged workers being more likely to leave a company, companies without a strong employment brand are forfeiting more money than they have to. Strengthening employment branding can help solve the problem, while also engaging new and exciting talent.
In this recorded webinar, iCIMS, the leading provider of talent acquisition software for growing businesses, will teach you about the power of employment branding and how it can help your company:
