Three Parts:Learning to Be AloneEnjoying Your Alone TimeAvoiding Unhealthy Behavior
Whether you're a social butterfly, newly single, or a chronic introvert, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out the best way to be alone. Being alone is easily confused with loneliness, but the two are separate things. It is important to learn how to be alone - and enjoy it - so that you may be more fulfilling in relationships with those around you.
EditPart One of Three:
Learning to Be Alone
1Understand that being alone and being lonely are not the same thing. Although society may try to inform us otherwise, being alone and being lonely are two completely independent concepts. Being alone is simply the act of being by oneself, while being lonely is the feeling of missing a person or persons, causing feelings of sadness and anxiety. When you are alone, you should be able to feel happy and enjoy your solitude, while if you feel lonely, it will be much more difficult to feel happy.
- Being by yourself is a normal and healthy activity; you should find that you are left alone without feeling unhappy or sadness on a regular basis.
- Feeling lonely may be a symptom of chronic alone-time, but they aren't the same concept.
2Know that being single is normal and healthy. Many times when people suddenly have anxiety about being alone, it is because they've gotten over a recent break-up and don't know what to do with their new-found single-dom. It is important to note, however, that being single (for more than a few weeks at a time) is a vital part of developing an authentic self. People who are constantly in relationships and view singledom as the phase in which you look for a new partner, generally have insecure senses of themselves and lack important character traits that allow them to enjoy time alone. If you're newly single, look to your time alone as an important period of growth, rather than a period of failure and loneliness.
- Aim to spend a few months wholly single without the goal of looking for or finding a partner. Set your own goal - be it three months, six months, or a whole year - based on your personal needs.
- Don't be ashamed of being single - it's an important time of self-reflection where you're given more freedom to do things that you want to do.
3Be intentional about your alone time. It's easy to feel disappointed and bored when you have plans that fall through, leaving you alone. But if you're intentional about being alone and you set aside time during the day in which you are by yourself, you'll come to cherish that time much more. Setting aside 'alone time' can be particularly beneficial for people who are always on the go with lots of plans and events. Start small with your alone time plans - thirty minutes a day at a coffee shop, for example, is a great place to start.
- Just because you have free time, doesn't mean that you need to make plans. Find ways to be happy, even if you stay home alone.
- Use your alone time efficiently - as in, don't just lay on the couch and binge watch Netflix.
4Use your alone time effectively. It will never be fun to be alone if all that involves is laying in bed or watching television for hours on end (although both those are fine in moderation). If you want to enjoy your alone time, you need to give yourself something to enjoy. Find activities and events that you can participate in, so that being alone isn't a chore. It can be difficult to separate a concept of 'alone' from the concept of 'boredom' - but they are entirely separate ideas. Change your planning so that alone time isn't the equivalent of slacking off or vegging out.
- Make a list of activities you enjoy doing on your own, and work your way through them.
- Consider things you would plan with someone else, and try to find ways to do them by yourself.[1]
EditPart Two of Three:
Enjoying Your Alone Time
1Use your alone time to focus on your hobbies. When you're always busy with work, school, a relationship, friends, or family, often times the first things to be cut out of your life are your hobbies. Therefore, finally having a bit of alone time is a great opportunity to pick up hobbies you love, or to try something new altogether. Consider things you love to do in your free time, or dream of doing when you're busy - now's the time to do them! Whether it be painting, hiking, reading, or cooking, there are dozens of options for possible hobbies.
- Try starting a new hobby - like a sport or craft you've admired for some time.
- Don't be afraid of picking up a hobby or project that may take some time, because you should be allowing yourself plenty of alone time to work on it.
2Change your mindset about being alone. Nothing will taint a perfectly good period of time spent alone or single if all you do is complain about or feel depressed about the fact that you are alone. If you want to enjoy your time by yourself, the first step is to change your mindset to see that time as enjoyable and beneficial, rather than as isolating and sad. Even if you're spending time alone because plans are canceled with a friend, try to view it as an opportunity for relaxation and fun. Anything you can enjoy with another person, you can enjoy doing by yourself.
3Learn to relax. Spending time by yourself doesn't have to be for the sole purpose of doing an activity or completing a chore - you can spend alone time doing nothing more than relaxing. Curl up next to a fire, take a hot bath, find a good movie, start a new book - whatever your favorite relaxing past-time is, do that. It's much easier to relax by yourself when there aren't any expectations set up for you or your behavior, and you can do whatever you want.
- Try downloading some new music and relaxing while listening to it.
- If you realize that being alone is stressing you out, you've got all the more reason to spend more alone time trying to relax. Consider going away for a weekend spa retreat by yourself, to try and overcome your feelings of anxiety.
4Spend more time outside. Sunshine is one of three natural antidepressants, and the great outdoors is a wonderful place to spend time alone even if it's cloudy out. Whenever you get a bit of free time with no plans, you should do your best to go outside. The sunlight and physical activity involved with going around outside will increase your endorphin levels, making you feel happier and more confident. There are loads of enjoyable activities you can do by yourself outside including running, hiking, kayaking, cycling, swimming and even just visiting a local park.[2]
EditPart Three of Three:
Avoiding Unhealthy Behavior
1Don't rely on television as a substitute for human interaction. People who are left alone often may revert to finding substitutes for human interaction, if they have difficulty getting out or making friends. However, it can be incredibly unhealthy for an individual to spend their time with virtual people instead of real ones. Spending a day watching a marathon of your favorite TV show or staying up late to watch a few movies isn't a problem on occasion, but when the behavior becomes chronic you may be setting yourself up for serious withdrawal and isolation issues.
2Avoid relying too heavily on friends and family. If you're new to being alone - especially if it refers to being single - it can be easy to try and cope with being alone by constantly trying to fill up your schedule with family and friend time. Further, assuming you're newly single and thus alone, you may try to date new people regularly simply to avoid being alone at all. Neither of these behaviors is healthy, as it is necessary to be alone at some points in time. Spend time with friends, family, and new days on occasion, but make sure you put in plenty of time for yourself (and only yourself) as well.
3Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Loneliness and alcohol (or other drugs) is a sure combination for a mental breakdown in the future. Spending time alone should not require alcohol in order to be enjoyable or tolerable. If you are relying on drugs or alcohol in order to manage your time by yourself, then you are self-medicating for a deeper reason. If you feel like you are reliant on alcohol or drugs, you should visit a psychologist or therapist for personalized help and counseling.
4Don't rely on books as a substitute for human interaction. Although it may seem strange, many people become so invested in reading that they begin reading more than they should, and staying away from people more than they should. It is possible to become more emotionally invested in books than in people, making alone time with reading an unhealthy course. As with all things, moderation is key. Make sure that if you are spending lots of time by yourself, that you balance it with time with friends and family outside of your home.[3]

You've got to admire Seat's honesty. While it doesn't exactly shout about the new Exeo being a rebadged and re-styled old Audi A4, the Spanish don't deny it either.
And why should they? The Audi platform and engines were there for the taking, and it also meant Seat could break into the family saloon market in a simple, short and crucially, cheap way. And it's not even like the Audi interior, chassis or engines feel too dated, despite that car being launched five years ago.
This car is aiming to compete with the likes of the Ford Mondeo and VW Passat. The Exeo doesn't drive with the Mondeo's precision, or have the Ford's enormous space inside, but the interior is well put together and the 2.0 TDI is nearly as good as the Mondeo 2.0-litre diesel. Emissions and mpg are up there with the Ford, even if it's not quite as silky.
And prices start at just £17,740. Even the top spec ones are below £22,000. That sounds like a lot of money for a Seat, but as a cheap way of getting your hands on a brand new Audi, it starts to make sense. One for the belt-tighteners among us.

Alright, time for you bitches to spend some cash money millions!
Just trying to push a few of these Jacksons out the door right now on ebay. Be sure to scope out the auction:
BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE: If you are interested in a frame DO NOT buy it on ebay if you can help it. Fucking final value fees are killin' me over here...
57cm boxed Cream with Dark Moss Green lug lining w/ Aerohead lugs!
56cm Boxed Green with Cream White panels and Blue lining!
52cm ST CTT, 53cmTT Matte Black and Hott Pink- SICK!!!
57cm ST CTT, 56.5cmTT Matte Grey with Red front panel and Blue lining!
Other details include: Paul Adjustable dropouts, dimpled rear seat tube, two tone paint job w/lug lining, made from 631 Reynolds, Aggressive track geometry and Drilled fork for a front brake on the last three ONLY. Top 57cm Aerohead one has both front and rear drilling and cable braze-ons with a slightly more lax geometry...
Prices are no joke on these and you can blame that on our wonderful man in charge. Also, keep in mind that a standard plain jane 'off the peg' frame from BJ shipped costs $860 (435₤). These ones obviously have a lot more going on that a boring single paint job. From what I hear Jackson is kinda back up right now. Ours are ready to go right MFing NOW!

Let the blog tagging begin!
After the initial shock and gaiety subsided, it occurred to me this could just be some sneaky ploy of the snob to get me to do/say/write something ridiculous that he could then use to his advantage when next he felt the desire to mock me. Realizing how unbelievably paranoid and ludicrous the dialog was going through my head, I decided to go back to my original plan for the evening: Watching adult swim and rubbing one out to one of the XXX torrent files I'd downloaded the previous night in
A few hours later with the sweat wiped from my brow and yet another generation amongst the many untold civilizations lost to the ages, I got back to completing this stupid questionnaire...
So here we go:
If you could have any one — and only one — bike in the world, what would it be?
I'll have to agree with the snob on this one and go with something more suited towards both off road riding and on. Most likely something in a cross style(ish) bike since I'm just not a fan of Mountain Bikes...
Do you already have that coveted dream bike? If so, is it everything you hoped it would be? If not, are you working toward getting it? If you're not working toward getting it, why not?
If you had to choose one — and only one — bike route to do every day for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?
I would have to say that one of my favorite rides is from the Manhattan side GW bridge down to 57th street. It's just a nice stretch of green way that isn't too crowded and offers some pretty great scenery. One of my favorite things about the ride would have to be the area where that dude builds those awesome drift wood sculptures along the banks of the Hudson. They're fucking awesome and keep getting better!
What kind of sick person would force another person to ride one and only one bike ride to to do for the rest of her / his life?
Do you ride both road and mountain bikes? If both, which do you prefer and why? If only one or the other, why are you so narrow minded?
Just roadies for me thanks. Besides, my cycling tunnel vision only allows me to focus in on the intricate details of one facet of cycling at a time...
Have you ever ridden a recumbent? If so, why? If not, describe the circumstances under which you would ride a recumbent.
I've never ridden one and most likely never will. The only circumstance I could imagine that would actually get me to ride one is by gunpoint...
Have you ever raced a triathlon? If so, have you also ever tried strangling yourself with dental floss?
Suppose you were forced to either give up ice cream or bicycles for the rest of your life. Which would you give up, and why?
This is a really difficult one for me seeing as how I love both ice cream AND bicycles almost equally, hehe.. ug.. God I'm fat.. Okay, I'll stick with bicycles since I haven't really engaged in many other extracurricular activities lately outside of slap boxing the one eyed champ now and again...
What is a question you think this questionnaire should have asked, but has not? Also, answer it.
Q) How many ridable bikes do you currently own?
Q) We all love riding, but what are some of the things you hate or bother you about it?
A) Shifting my bits around in the saddle and/or having to let a long fart go while riding a fixie
Q) How many times have you been hit by a car? any injuries?
You're riding your bike in the wilderness (if you're a roadie, you're on a road, but otherwise the surroundings are quite wilderness-like) and you see a bear. The bear sees you. What do you do?
Whenever I think of bears I'm reminded of that scene in Borat where the kids get chased off by the one in the ice cream truck. I would undoubtingly act in a similar manner unless of course I had a wasp knife on me. In which case I would stab that bitch in the heart and freeze that shit!
Now, tag three biking bloggers. List them below.
Hipster Nascar
The Rotten Club
By the way snobby, I hope you have some extra steel wool leftover to help wash the teeny girl feeling that's crawling all over me after writing this fucking post...
Let the blog tagging begin!

Efficient operation of the gas neutralizer is important to the neutral beam injection (NBI) system, which forms part of the auxiliary heating systems for Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). The particle transport through the beamline of the EAST NBI system was investigated by the recently developed numerical simulation code based on the Monte Carlo treatment of collisions. This paper reports the simulation results on the ion beam transport through the EAST neutralizer and the beam deflections in the neutralizer due to the EAST stray magnetic field. The results show that the current design of the magnetic shield for the EAST neutralizer is able to meet the requirement. The relations of the optimal neutralizer thickness to the beam energy and the corresponding fractional power carried by each particle species are also given.

Back in the 1960s, tattoos were not the popular body art that they have become. In the upstate New York town where I grew up, I knew of no one who had a tattoo; that is, until my boyfriend – now my husband – got one in the Marines. I was shocked. How could he mar his body with something so permanent? He thought my efforts to persuade him to have it removed were nuts. The tattoo stayed, I got used to it and married him in spite of the large off-kilter anchor on one arm.

After more than two years, Cedar Lake has sealed the deal.
Last week, the facility that serves patients with mental disabilities, closed on a contract purchasing three acres of the new Henry County recreation and services park on U.S. 421 north of New Castle. In doing so, Cedar Lake handed the county a check for $89,000.

In Henry County's season opener Saturday afternoon, Brittany Crawford and Travis Farmer both earned third-place finishers at the Mason-Dixon Games — which also served as the Kentucky Indoor State Track and Field Championships — and the Henry girls finished 16th in the team standings while the boys finished 22nd.
Speed bumps are a traffic control device that is specifically regulated by statute. There are many illegal speed bumps within the city of Eminence. The city officials know they are illegal. The city attorney knows they are improperly installed. they are there because the "people wanted them," just as in Pleasureville. The city attorney for these two towns (the same person) should make the city officials aware of the statutes and ensure that the cities comply with what is legal.

Children at Henry County Public Schools and Eminence Independent Schools are exposed to all the right stuff when it comes to nutrition and physical education.
Eminence Superintendent Don Aldridge said staff and students are making both a real priority as a part of the system's wellness imperative.
Nutritious food is the first line of defense.
The Henry County Farmer's market met at the Extension Office last week to begin planning for their opening the end of April. The market will be held on Saturdays at the Courthouse and also on Wednesday afternoons during peak season and this year they are planning a new location at Browning Pontiac on North Main in Eminence on Friday afternoons. All produce that is sold at the market is grown in Henry County. Dues for member farmers are only $25 per year. The market is planning to accept both WIC and Senior Coupons again this year.

About IMnotebook.com
Dr. Subrahmanyam Karuturi, MD (Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Web, E-mail)
IMnotebook.com is a concise synopsis of the entire field of Internal Medicine, prepared by Dr. Subrahmanyam Karuturi, MD
There are many authors that have mastered their subjects. Once in a while however, you come across some authors that have, in addition, mastered the art of imparting that knowledge to others. That is what you have in IMnotebook.com that has become the indispensable resource for Physicians, Internists and Internal Medicine fellows. What Braunwald's is to Cardiology, and Gray's is to Gross Anatomy, Dr. Subrahmanyam Karuturi's IMnotebook.com is to Internal Medicine. It is probably easier to talk of the beach without mentioning water than to talk of Internal Medicine without Dr. Subrahmanyam Karuturi's IMnotebook.com.
In every generation there are restless souls who cannot be made to fit the common mold. A few of these are valuable in keeping their communities and professions in a ferment by their constant challenge to the existing order of man's thought and action. But when, in addition to possessing these attributes, a rare individual is endowed with the divine fire and makes important contributions to the pioneering progress of humanity, then indeed we recognize a great leader. In the thick of the fray such recognition comes slowly but as soon as the smoke of the battle clears the acclaim is universal. Dr. Subrahmanyam Karuturi was such a restless soul.
Mission : This notebook is primarily intended as a quick reference guide for Internal Medicine related information.
Information is gleaned from reputable sources like journals and standard text books. Images, audio, video, algorithm charts are interwoven with the text as and when necessary. Peer review of this site is welcome and I rely on feedback to correct any errors. This site is personally funded by the site author Dr. Subrahmanyam Karuturi. This website is continously updated as new information flows through the journals and other sources.
I make every effort to ensure that the contents of the site are correct however I cannot be held responsible for any errors or ommissions. If you like what you see in IMnotebook.com - tell others! If you don't like what you see please tell me!
Dedication : This work is dedicated to doctors everywhere, expecially to those who are just starting out, or who are in the thick of it, or who are the sharp end of a difficult decision.

Info & Phones News Reviews › Forum
Android 4.0 for Galaxy S2
Has anybody else here updated to ICS for the S2? I must admit that so far (only 2 days in) I am disappointed with it. I have noticed that several of the animations seem to be rougher than they were with 2.3. The unlock screen hiccups every time and just doesn't look very fluid. Every time I open the phone app to make a call they keypad takes a second to load. For some reason, if you're not using a live wallpaper, the image that you select is static, and doesn't move as it did before. Samsung didn't include the different categories of "apps" "widgets" and so on in the menu, something that I was looking forward to. They didn't even take the time or effort to add any kind of 3d animation to the widgets on your home screen as you move from one to another. Just plain left to right movement. Overall, this DOESN'T seem like the 2.3 to 4.0 jump that it is, more like the 2.1 to 2.2 that I remember on the Captivate. There are some improvements, I'll list those if anybody is interested.

Agnese Sanvito: Absorb/reflect/scatter
17 Mar 2014 – 25 Apr 2014
Cost of entry
AboutAgnese Sanvito is an architectural photographer based in London. This selection from her portfolio focuses on the ways colour shapes our sense of buildings. At once unavoidable and yet also often seen as simply superficial, colour is an essential influence on our response to a building while also serving more practical functions. These images demonstrate how colour is controlled and worked: as a solid pigment in a façade; a refraction of neighbouring light and forms; the variation and flux of a natural material weathering; projected light. The architectural photographer brings an added dimension to considering colour in building. The very act of making a picture interprets and comments on how the building performs with light. In a frozen moment, an otherwise endless interplay of light on surfaces is shaped and simplified. The multiple lights and angles in which a building operates are encapsulated and promoted as one fixed frame and instance. With the most impactful images, the building can be forever seen through that point of reference, a golden moment we want to re-live. However, that light is forever scattered and only the image remains. If we visit the building, we will see colours that are different, depending on the time and conditions. The photograph hints at a kind of visual music being played with colour, where what we see is real but is intangible. www.agnesesanvito.com

Gymnastics: EAGL Honors Sloanhoffer, Richardson
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia sophomore Hope Sloanhoffer and junior Alaska Richards earned a pair of East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) honors, as Sloanhoffer was named the Gymnast of the Week and Richardson was awarded Specialist of the Week accolades.
The honors follow a season-best performance by the Mountaineers (5-1, 3-0 EAGL), as the squad scored 195.775 in wins over George Washington (193.125) and Towson (190.875) on Jan. 29, at the WVU Coliseum. The team's score, the 27th-best mark in program history, included season bests on all four events.
Today's honor is Sloanhoffer's second of the season and the 11th EAGL weekly recognition of her career; she previously was named the EAGL Gymnast of the Week on Jan. 10.
Sloanhoffer won her second straight all-around title against GW and Towson with a 39.2 mark, her third career 39.0-plus point total. The Cornwall, N.Y., native also tied for first on vault with a season-high 9.875 and finished second on bars with a career-best 9.8. She rounded out her day with a fourth place, 9.775 showing on floor and a fifth place, 9.75 mark on beam.
After four meets, Sloanhoffer ranks No. 22 nationally on vault and No. 26 in the all-around; she is tops in the EAGL in both categories.
Richardson, a Dayton, Ohio, native, earns her first career EAGL honor on the heels of registering her second straight career-best floor mark, as she won the event outright on Sunday with a 9.875 showing; she previously scored 9.85 on Jan. 21 and 9.825 on Jan. 8. Additionally, Richardson tied for first on vault with a season-best 9.875; she has earned the score twice this season.
Richardson ranks No. 36 nationally, No. 2 in the league, on floor.
Pitt's Haley Bodenheimer was named the EAGL Rookie of the Week.
The No. 20-ranked Mountaineers return to action at No. 22 Michigan on Friday, Feb. 3, for a 6 p.m. meet at the Crisler Center.

Nearly 300 years from now, the calendar is turning over to a new year, and a new age. In 2300AD, humanity is attempting to claim the stars as his own. Despite nearly destroying himself in the Twilight War, despite all the wars since, humanity has held on, and kept the dream alive. 2300AD is the story of that dream, as humanity, reaches out to the stars.
In 2300AD, humanity has settled 32 inhabitable worlds, and has outposts on many more. Human space is divided into three Arms: French, American, and Chinese, each named for the dominant nation exploring it. The shape of these Arms is dictated by the limitations inherent in stutterwarp travel: the 7.7 light year range, and so travel between the worlds at the center and the worlds of the edge can take weeks, or even months.
At the center of Human space are the Core Worlds of Earth and Tirane. Tirane is the habitable planet of Alpha Centauri, and is a near twin to Earth in climate, gravity and atmosphere. These two worlds together have nearly 90% of the Human population, with 90% of that total residing on Earth. For most people living out in the Frontier, the worlds of the Core are as distant and strange as any alien homeworld.
2300AD games range from interstellar exploration and interstellar war, down to the gritty streets and the mega-cities of the human Core. This is a game about people, and their rise to the stars. Aliens are a part of the 2300AD milieu, but the focus of the game is on Humans.
Ships of the French Arm$39.99Ships of the French Arm is dedicated to vessels adventurers can interact with in a meaningful way, complete with deckplans for every one of them. While most merchant vessels fall into this category, a few military ships are also included, such as those relegated to patrol and customs enforcement, along with a pair of major combatants, provided to showcase the capabilities of these massive ships. Learn More
The Grendelssaga$24.99This book introduces the world of Grendel and its conditions, and is a sourcebook for the small outpost run by the University of Alicia, studying the violent weather and emergent life forms. The players must make their way from Beowulf to Grendel, across a system under dire threat from Kaefer marauders and human raiders. Learn More
Tools for Frontier Living$29.99Packed full of essential equipment and tools for players venturing out to the far frontier, this book will be a vital companion for any game for 2300AD. Learn More

This has been a very weird encounter with these numbers. It's never the same ones. But, they are always right on time.( time get it.) 222/ 1222/ 722/ 622/ 122/ 555/ 1111. I've read all their is to read on these numbers. It's always positive. It could be visible to me maybe because I've been so negative and in accepting these past few years. Trust few these days.ReplyDelete
My next follow up doctor's appointment is located at a building with the address number 722. My birthday is 7/22. Coincidence? No. :)ReplyDelete
I can see that this sequence of numbers has meaning for me as I advance along my spiritual path. Something I have been questioning for a long time is becoming clearer! And yes, I trust that I will get the final piece to the puzzle!ReplyDelete

What characteristics should a recruiter possess to be successful? Studies show that recruiter personableness, informativeness, and competence should be considered by the recruiting organizations that are truly interested in increasing the attraction of talent to their organizations.
A common mistake many companies make when building a university recruiting (UR) program is to focus on identifying core schools first. While this is a critical task, it's not one of the first steps to tackle, especially if you need to build a university recruiting program when funds are low. Many companies have tightened their belts in recent years, so UR professionals must be creative with limited resources and human capital; it's all about delivering more with less. As such, your first order of business should be to look inside instead of outward.
The average cost of recruiting a new college graduate during the 2011-12 recruiting season was $5,134, according to employers responding to NACE's 2012 Recruiting Benchmarks Survey.
While nearly 76 percent of organizations responding to NACE's 2012 Recruiting Benchmarks Survey have a college relations and recruiting department within their organization, there is a fairly clear relationship between the size of a company and the existence of a formal college relations department

[For Hire] Systems/Network Admin - In New Orleans, willing to relocate for the right position. (self.sysadminjobs)
submitted 2 years ago by geoffala
I'm an ambitious Systems/Network Administrator. I like to let my resume speak for my technical skills (linked below) but here's a little bit about me. I'm the type of person that never knows enough, so I'm always trying to pick up new skills. I'm currently working on my CCNP to fill in the gaps that I don't use in my day to day work, learning powershell, and I'm working on rounding out my sysadmin side by finally picking up linux and designing servers in my home lab. I'm very confident in my skills and a very quick study. I currently live in the New Orleans area but I am willing to consider relocation to anywhere in the US or any english speaking nation.
Thanks everyone!

|12th Jan 2009
South So Far
It's been a while since I last talked about South, so it's about time I did a short update, I think. There's been a fair few things going on since last time, which was, err, a long time ago.
Firstly, we now have SQLite support (apart from column renames/alters/deletes; I'll be implementing those with the appropriate workarounds soon). This was one of the features I most wanted to roll in, since SQLite is quite widely used for quick development. SQL Server support is also on the way soon!
Also in the news, TWiD's latest episode has some interesting poll results for schema migrations; of the respondents, over half are using one of the premade tools, and of those about 2/5 are using South - good news for the migration camp overall, and a surprisingly high amount for South, considering I have a limited picture of who's using it.

Uranium (U) is a very heavy metal usually found as an oxide, such as uraninite (UO2) or coffinite (U(SiO4)1-x ?(OH)4x). It occurs nearly everywhere on the planet, even in sea water, but may become concentrated in ore deposits under the right geological conditions and processes. In its purest form, uranium is a silvery white metal, but usually occurs as an oxidized mineral. Its density is nearly that of gold, about 19 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). Although it exists as several different isotopes (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons), most naturally occurring uranium is 238U (99.27%), followed by 235U (0.73%). Uranium's atomic number is 92, meaning that there are 92 protons in its nucleus. The rest of the particles in the nucleus are neutrons: 146 in 238U and 143 in 235U. The 235U isotope is less stable – it decays more rapidly than 238U and is the form of uranium used to fuel nuclear reactors.
Uranium is usually found in porous sedimentary rocks such as sandstones or conglomerates, but some large deposits are associated with igneous and metamorphic rocks. Uranium atoms are similar in size and chemical properties to calcium atoms, so as rocks form, uranium often substitutes for calcium in minerals such as plagioclase (very common in granites). Thus, calcium-rich rocks such as granite typically contain more uranium than other rocks, and are thought to be the source of many uranium ore deposits. Particles ejected from ancient volcanoes – particles often chemically similar to granitic rocks – are another possible source of uranium ore deposits. These two possibilities are still the center of debate among scientists trying to determine the source of uranium deposits. What really matters, though, is the vast supply of energy uranium can provide.

A Brief History of Uranium in Wyoming
The Wyoming uranium industry dates back to 1918, when prospectors sought radium for Marie Curie's first radioactivity experiments from tailings piles at the Silver Cliff mine near present-day Lusk. Later discoveries were made near Wamsutter at Lost Creek and in the Black Hills area of Crook County.
The first major discovery, however, resulted from Dr. John David Love's assertion that uranium was likely to be found in and associated with the tuffaceous sediments of the Oligocene White River Formation (38-24 million years old) in the Powder River Basin. Love, working for the USGS at the time, hypothesized that uranium deposits should occur in the Pumpkin Buttes area of southwest Campbell County. Aerial surveys in 1950 revealed dozens of anomalies in the area, and in October of 1951, Love, Dick Hose, and Franklyn B. Van Houten checked the area in the field with a scintillometer and verified the occurrence. They collected samples later determined to consist of as much as 15% uranium oxide. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was eager to purchase uranium ore for its nuclear weapons program and established a buying station in Edgemont, SD, for that purpose. Small mines in the Black Hill area and the Powder River Basin, operated by companies including Homestake Mining Co., Globe Mining, and Kerr-McGee, shipped the first uranium ore to Edgemont in 1953.
Also in 1953, Neil McNeice discovered what would eventually become the Lucky Mc deposit in the Gas Hills uranium district of the Wind River Basin. Other discoveries at Crook's Gap, in the Shirley Basin, and in the Black Hills area were made over the next few years. Major uranium-producing areas of Wyoming over the years have included the Powder River Basin, Wind River Basin, Great Divide Basin, Shirley Basin, and Green Mountain and Crooks Gap areas (see map)
These discoveries not only led to outstanding production of yellowcake (the product of uranium ore processing which is then used to make fuel for power plants) but also fueled economic growth and employment in the state. More than 5,300 people worked in the uranium industry in one capacity or another in 1980. Cities and towns around Wyoming grew significantly during the boom cycles, and in the case of Jeffrey City in Fremont County, transformed from a homestead to a town of more than 4,000. However, the bust cycles took their toll, and when prices plummeted after the Three Mile Island incident in 1979, Jeffrey City was all but deserted within a few years.
Uranium production in Wyoming
Wyoming has been the nation's leading producer of uranium ore since 1995, and also encompasses the country's largest uranium reserves. Since 1991, all Wyoming uranium has been recovered by the in-situ recovery (ISR) method, sometimes referred to as in-situ leach (ISL). Wyoming currently (2014) produces from five ISR uranium mines; the Smith Ranch-Highland (SR-H) ISR operation in west-central Converse County has been producing by ISR since the early 1980s, and is operated by Power Resources, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cameco Corporation of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. That company also owns and operates the North Butte ISR mine, and processes the uranium from that field at SR-H. North Butte is one of the several prominent flat-topped mesas of Pumpkin Buttes in the Powder River Basin in southwestern Campbell County, Wyoming.
There are also two other ISR mines in operation in the Pumpkin Buttes district. The Willow Creek operation is owned by Uranium One and produces yellowcake at their Irigaray plant in southeastern Johnson County. The well fields of Willow Creek are on the northwestern flank of Pumpkin Buttes. In April 2014, Uranerz Corporation began production at their Nichols Ranch ISR mine about nine miles south of Willow Creek.
Elsewhere in Wyoming, there is one other uranium mine in production and several in the permitting and development stages. The Lost Creek ISR mine in northeastern Sweetwater County began production in August, 2013. Additional mines are expected to commence yellowcake production from the western Black Hills area, Shirley Basin, the Gas Hills of the Wind River Basin, and numerous other mines in the Powder River Basin.
Uranium Mining in the United States
Currently (2013), seven uranium mines, all ISR, operate in the United States. Crow Butte in northwestern Nebraska is also owned by Cameco Corporation of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. In 2013, Crow Butte produced about 800,000 pounds of U3O8 by the ISR method.
The other uranium-producing sites are all located in south Texas. They are the Palangana mine and Hobson plant, both owned and operated by Uranium Resources, Inc., Lewisville, TX, and Alta Mesa, owned and operated by Mestena Uranium, LLC. The combined annual production from the Texas operations is around 800,000 pounds of U3O8.
With the recent upsurge in yellowcake spot prices over the last several years, exploration and claim-staking activity has increased in Wyoming and several other Rocky Mountain states, including Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, and Utah. Some of these states could also begin producing uranium in the near future.

Front office- BOUNTY ON VICK- Easy to get under the cap just drop your biggest salary and poof .
Posted November 18, 2012
Real simple- Dont protect Vick. Get him hurt. Get rid of salary. Is it possible? I find it hard to believe that someone in the front office isnt celebratiing the new found money for next season. They are always under the cap. Can anyone show me where they have ever cut salaries to get under the cap ? I thought so. Hasnt anyone ever told you to just follow the money.
31 Comments:
You're asking a silly question. Every season salaries are restructured and players are released by ALL teams in order to stay under the cap. Show me ANY case where a team hasn't done that. You can't and you won't. So the Eagles just wanted to hurt Vick so they can cut him? Do you realize how stupid that seams? If that's the case then THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE SIGNED HIM! A classic case of Holly-whining.
This one is really reaching. I did some research. Vick is the 8th highest paid player in the NFL this season and he's only in the top 10 for turnovers and he leads the league in Red Zone turnovers. In 2010 Mike Vick was in the top 10 in nearly every quarterback stat. He was was also one of the best in the league that year in protecting the football. To me clearly what has happened is after Mike Vick came back and the league teams wasn't sure how to play him and he killed them early. After teams started to get film on him again they began to game plan him and slow him down. Mike Vick never adjusted and has been a mostly mediocre quarterback ever since. To make matters worse age is catching up to Vick. He's not even the running threat he used to be and defensive lineman are running him down from behind. No conspiracy here. Just an aging, fragile, mediocre quarterback.
You don't have to take my word for it. View the FACTS on these sites.
To be fair, Reid and his game plan and the pitiful offensive line have also played a part in this but the biggest factor IS Vick's play and for hollywood to try to ignore this FACT and put the blame only at Reid and Lurie's feet is ridiculous. Vick just isn't good enough and there is NO way the Eagles should even consider keeping him in Philly especially at his current price. Time to cut their losses and move on.
Oh there is plenty of blame to go around green. The coach is PE #1.
He definitely isn't in the running for coach of the year to put it mildly. This team has given up. How do you NOT help a rookie QB out...offensive line penalties, drops (freakin' Celek), bad playcalling which includes a once again pass heavy pass to run ratio...pretty much nothing has changed including the quarterback play...Foles has not looked good. Stating that we both know the importance of seeing what they have in Foles the rest of this season. One more loss and they have NO shot at the post season...let's see if the Eagles need to draft a quarterback in the 1st round next year and/or pick one up via free agency or trade.
sounds familiar except you dont blame the QB. Why?
I stated plainly and clearly that Foles didn't look good at all...I also made it plain and clear that I NEVER said that it was only Vick's fault so don't turn this around. You actually want to blame everyone except Vick. I'm willing to blame everyone INCLUDING the 10 year veteran quarterback who had very similar tpe games than the rookie making his first start.
you squarely put most if not all the blame on Vick. Your a pathelogical BSer
Never, ever stated that but he is a big part of the losses this season just like the ROOKIE Foles was today. I blame Vick mostly for his pitiful play...you want to blame everyone else EXCEPT Vick.
I am a little concerned about who they could draft at quarterback. The Eagles picked the wrong season to suck at the position. The team is so bad as a whole that it may serve them better to trade down and acquire more picks. The safeties are brutal and so is this offensive line. The defensive line is a waste. So many holes and not enough picks or cap money to fix it.
They sucked at that position last year also but I get what you mean. We'll see what they decide to do. Don't know who is available by free agency or who may be had by trade. There aren't ever any locks when picking up young quarterbacks. There are many more Leafs out there than there are Lucks.
I don't see the "can't miss" guy coming in the next draft.
They would serve better to improve the entire roster. They
would also do better to fire Howie Roseman and get a real
GM. Stop playing with these money guys and get a football
guy in there.
"Can't miss" guys don't come around too often, Eazy.
In this past draft there may have been 3-4 of them.
We'll see how it plays out. We know the Chiefs will be looking quarterback.
They never had to cut salaries because of Banner who played the cap better than most in the NFL. If Vick would have proved worthy of that big contract the Eagles would have worked his money into the cap somehow (renegotiation?) but he didn't and that is on Michael Vick. Why would the Eagles try to get Vick hurt? Why would they open themselves up to possible criticism or getting in trouble with the league when the simplest thing to do is just bench the man when he is not playing well? You and your "theories"...why do I waste my time?
Cap jabber again? How the Eagles are so great at it? I can see by how they play its great.
Cap jabber? Did you or did you not bring up the cap?...I thought so.
This is all a good thing in my opinion. The end of the Reid era is near. He tried, he failed, and now it's time to move one. Unless you are a Reid supporter there is no reason to be angry right now. Foles is playing and that's a good thing, because now we can find out if the kid can play or not. So far not so good, but knowing now is better than waiting yet another year.
The bad was McCoy getting carted off the field with a serious concussion. Reid has really let this thing go way too far.
Going to far was also claiming they were trying to come back and win the game down 25 with 2 minutes left. He's also done it with his quarterbacks. How often in blowouts for either side have you seen the backup in games. McNabb would almost never leave a game no matter the outcome, no matter the score. Freaking stupid!
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
I agree. Reid is a dope. Nobody is gonna want this bum. Youll see. All the commentators just gush about them because deep down they are laughing at what a loser Philly is right now.
Again, hollywood. Never stated anything close to Reid is a dope or that nobody wants him. Go back and read what you just typed..."the commentators just gush about him because deep down they are laughing at what a loser Philly is right now". What the hell does that even mean and you do realize there are other NFL teams struggling out there just like every year, don't you? You are more out of touch than I thought if you think this only happens in Philadelphia.
They should fire him now
I don't want him fired anymore! I want him to suffer like the rest of us.

[not displayed: comment from locked account]
Vick will be back because the Eagles have nowhere else to turn. It would bea huge mistake to send Vick packing without a viable alternative.
VICK is not viable, hollywood. Give it up already!...actually don't because all you are doing is cementing what I have stated about you in the past. You are all about your opinions and nothing else!

Gregg Roth, 47
Lost 11 1/2 pounds and 4 1/2 belly inches in 21 days!
Proudest Accomplishments: Trimmed his tummy more than any other tester; learned to make healthy choices when eating out.
Favorite meals: Mustard-Rubbed Pork Chops; Belly Soother Smoothie
Gregg Roth is now feeling much more athletic. With his 21-Day Tummy, he reports, "I am able to play basketball a lot easier. I feel lighter on my feet and have less pain in my joints. I have more energy, and I feel less sluggish. I'm sleeping much better, too." It's amazing what a difference dropping 11 pounds can make!
Plus, he says, "This diet was much better for digestion than other diets I've done. My digestion definitely improved. I was in Florida for 5 days and went off the plan, and I could tell there was a huge difference in my digestive system. Let's just say it was a gas thing. That went away as soon as I went back on the plan."
After that experience, Gregg learned how to stick with the plan even while traveling. He learned he could always stick with a few basic meals and how to substitute belly-friendly ingredients when a restaurant didn't have a specific dish. Now he's in the habit of making healthy choices everywhere. "When I'm out at a restaurant, instead of picking the cheeseburger with fries, I'm getting vegetable main dishes and lean proteins and things like that."
Not a cook himself, Gregg was nervous about trying new foods and recipes. Luckily, his wife was willing to help him with a lot of the cooking, but it was still a challenge. It's one he's glad he took up, though. "My health is much better than 3 weeks ago," he reports. "I'm just happier all around, and I want to hold on to that. You have to be prepared to put in some time, but the results are worth it."
His best advice: "Be prepared to put in a little time to shop and prepare meals. The results are worth it."

Wrestling Paulsons: Journey through adversity
DWANE MCFERRIN, Staff Writer
Few wrestlers can claim the accomplishments of former Lewis Central wrestling standouts Trent and Travis Paulson.
The twins dominated Iowa high school wrestling with a combined 366-5 record and won five state championships. They earned All-American honors three times at Iowa State and sported a combined record of 221-52 against the rugged NCAA Division I competition.
Trent put an exclamation point on his collegiate career with a national championship at 157 pounds and Travis narrowly lost in double overtime in the semifinals and finished fifth at 165. The seniors led Iowa State to second place at the Division I National Wrestling Tournament for its highest team finish since 1987.
"It is unbelievable. From the moment that my hand was raised I thought of all the hard work and everything I've worked for had finally paid off," said Trent who finished 18th in total wins in Cyclones' history. "It feels really awesome because I know how many unbelievable wrestlers went through the program and there have been Olympic champions. To have my name among the greats is an overwhelming feeling."
You can forget about sibling rivalry in this family. Travis was chased away from the stage by a security guard several times in yelling suggestions to Trent during the championship match.
"Watching Trent win the national title," said Travis, "bar none is the greatest thing I've seen in my life. I felt like I was in every scramble with him and was never in such an emotional state about a match.
"As a brother, I know all the work he's put in and he deserves it. I've never been more proud of anyone."
Success did not come easy for the Paulson brothers. The blue bloods of the wrestling world normally have a strong history of success within the family.
"We had to do it ourselves," said Trent. "We had no rich wrestling tradition."
But the challenges facing the Paulson twins in the early years were far greater than lineage, talent or even wins and losses.
"We always had an abundant amount of energy when we were little. We were off the wall and had to learn to focus our energy and grow up a lot," said Travis.
Trent took it a step further.
"My parents said that we were ornery and a lot of people didn't want their kids playing with us because they thought we were a bad influence. Some wanted to put us on Ritalin, and my mom wouldn't have any of that. She always knew we could put our hyperactive energy into something positive and that's where wrestling came in."
Parents Nick and Mary Ann Paulson made many sacrifices in channeling the twins' energy to wrestling.
"Even when we were little kids," said Trent, "they took us all over the country. That's how we were able to get the experience we needed."
During middle school, the Paulsons heard more concerns.
"There were some teachers," said Trent, "that were warning that we would never make anything of ourselves, we wouldn't be successful at wrestling because we were too bad of kids, we'd lose interest, blah, blah, blah."
"Some people didn't even think we'd graduate from high school, let alone become a national champion."
Trent and Travis proved the doubters all wrong. Both earned Academic All Big XII honors and will graduate with 3.0 and 3.5 grade point averages.
"You don't have to be smart," said Travis, "to get good grades in college but have to be organized and work hard."
Further, the brothers have become role models for young wrestlers.
"I never thought about the fans as I started my college career," said Travis, "as I was focused on my goals and that just came along with it. Now parents come up to me and tell me I'm a great role model for their son. Athletics gave me a disciplined life and overcoming adversity teaches you can overcome everything."
During his freshman year of high school, Travis had to lose 20 pounds after the Christmas break and went on to win the state title at 112 pounds.
"I saw the sacrifices he had to make to get down to that weight" said Trent. "I saw how that hard work paid off and it was the beginning of disciplining ourselves to accomplish our dreams."
In their junior year at Lewis Central, Travis tore his ACL just prior to the season. Surgery was delayed and he wrestled with a knee brace. After hitting the weights, Travis returned to the lineup stronger than ever. He moved from 140 to 145 and Trent sacrificed to cut his weight from 145 to 140. Never again did Travis wrestle at a lighter weight than Trent.
"When I tore my first ACL (he tore his other ACL in college), I learned I'm not invincible," said Travis. "There are no guarantees in life.
"I never get burned out anymore because I know what it's like to sit on the sidelines. Everything in life is how you react to it. I learned that from my knee injuries."
The last thing fifth-year seniors would want is a coaching change. That happened when legendary coach Bobby Douglas stepped down and was replaced by Olympic gold medalist Cael Sanderson.
"When the coaching change was first announced," said Trent, "it was hard to take because we had been with Coach Douglas for the past four years. He would call two to three times per week just to check on how we were doing.
"He was like a second father figure so to get that announced our senior year and to have a completely different system with a new staff was pretty shocking, but in the long run, it was definitely a good change."
Before the season started, the coaching staff came to their home and made it clear that the success of the season depended in great part on the twins. Coach Sanderson asked them to embrace the new system, not resist the change, and lead the team to glory.
The rest is history as the Paulson brothers set the pace on a team full of underclassmen to win the Big XII title and second place at the national tournament.
"From day one," said Trent, "the coaches introduced a new mentality for ISU wrestling.
"Our main goal was whoever we wrestle, to have the mentality that they will never want to wrestle ISU again. Wrestling is an opportunity to do something great"
There is little doubt that the twins have helped each other achieve greatness.
"I feel so blessed to have Travis as a brother," said Trent. "It's like God was looking out for me. Every time I wanted to work out, I had someone my size, similar strength and similar ability. He pushes me way harder than anyone else does. Nothing that I've done would have been possible without him. He's someone I look up to. He's my hero."
Despite being three-time All Americans, the duo has remained confident, but not arrogant.
"It is definitely the way we were raised," said Travis. "Our parents told us that when winning not to crush someone else's dreams and goals. I like reading the Norman Vincent Peale books and how you want people to remember the type of person you are and I want to be remembered as having class."
Next up for Trent and Travis are the Trials for the World Championships and after that they have goals to win the gold medal at the China Olympics in 2008.
"I didn't get what I wanted this year but it was special being part of this team" said Travis. "I don't take things for granted and adversity makes me hungrier to make the Olympic team and get the gold medal."
For the World Championships and Olympic wrestling, there are only eight weight classes. The weight loss sacrifice will go to Trent as he will compete at 145. Travis plans to wrestle at 163.
Talk about sacrifice. Nick and Mary Ann have not missed one match during the twin's collegiate career

Hi, everyone recommends the RC high Renthals although they don't seem to manufacture them in orange. So was thinking of having a pair powder coated?
Does that work, do you recommend it?

Thursday, May 16, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) -- Health officials say they found fecal bacteria in more than half of the water samples taken from Atlanta-area public swimming pools last summer.
Investigators found the gut bacteria in 58 percent of the samples taken from about 150 pools in Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties. They were gathered from municipal pools or pools at waterparks, apartment complexes and clubs.
Municipal pools -- where young children in diapers are common -- were worst, with 70 percent of samples tainted.
No illness outbreaks were tied to the pools.
Proper chlorine and pH levels should kill bacteria. But health officials advise people to shower before the pool, and not swim if they have diarrhea.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the study Thursday.

Dr Oz: Strep Throat & Antibiotics
Dr Oz did a show about Strep Throat caused by the Streptococcus bacteria. If you have ever had Strep Throat, you surely remember the unbearable pain every time you drink or swallow. A sore throat can be the sign of a cold, but it could also be the sign of Strep Throat which can be more dangerous than you think if it goes untreated. If you are wondering about the difference between a Sore Throat and a Strep Throat, then read this recap from another segment of Dr Oz: Sore Throat vs Strep Throat. Doctor Oz's Assistant-Of-The-Day was Joy from seat 28, and she said that just a couple of weeks ago she had a sore throat. Dr Oz is from Philadelphia originally, so he seemed particularly excited that Joy was from his hometown!
Dr Oz: Streptococcus Bacteria
Dr Oz showed an image of what Streptococcus Bacteria looks like growing in your throat. If you have Strep Throat, you will get white stuff, which is puss, growing on your tonsils and on the back of your throat. But the appearance alone does not give you a diagnosis, you need for your doctor to do throat culture first. If you have Strep Throat, you will be prescribed antibiotics. Doctor Oz said that you can think of Streptococcus Bacteria as being hidden behind a very protective wall. So your immune system tries to break down the wall, but only antibiotics are strong enough to break down the wall and completely kill the bacteria.
Dr Oz: Untreated Strep Causes Rheumatic Fever
Doctor Oz said that if you leave Strep Throat untreated, you can develop the following complications:
– Skin Infections
– Blood Infections
– Scarlet Fever
– Rheumatic Fever
Doctor Oz said that if you do not treat Strep Throat with antibiotics, then your immune system has to overreact and some of the antibodies that are produces can start to attack your heart valve, which can cause blood to back up into your lungs so that you cannot breath. This is what happens with Rheumatic Fever.
Dr Oz: Sore Throat Remedies
Dr Oz said that if you have a sore throat for over a week, then you need to get tested for Strep Throat and take antibiotics. However here are some Sore Throat Remedies to help soothe your throat:
– warm soup
– cool sorbet
– honey in a cup of tea
Dr Oz even found the perfect gift for his Assistant-Of-The-Day: a stuffed animal Streptococcus Bacteria!
