2014 National Cyber Security Awareness Month
I've been a fan of the Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Awareness Month for a little while now. This year marks the 11th annual year of the month long event. If you are not aware this month is designed to educate the public about cyber security issues and things you can do to protect yourself as our lives become more and more tangled online.
Over the next month, I'll be tailoring my tweets and blog post on promoting and educating you on how to better protect yourself and businesses online. If there are any questions that you have about protecting yourself (or your business) online, please e-mail email@example.com and I'll answer them during the Monday's Questions and Answers blog entries.
Q&A Monday: How DHCP Works
Please don't laugh at me, but I've wondered how my computer gets an IP address from my router?
Renee Newcomb
Ferndale, WA
I love questions like these, every computer, tablet, phone or laptop gets an IP address when connected to the internet, but rarely do we think of the process that takes place. So to go over the basic way a new laptop at your house gets a computer.
- When a new devices connects to your network (either plugged in or via WiFi), it send a broadcast message on the network. This broadcast message is open for anything to respond to, since it doesn't know the network settings.
- A DHCP Server (or a router acting as one), will hear the broadcast message and reply to the device with the information that is needed to connect. This would contain the IP address, DNS, how long it can use the IP before needing to check back in.
- The device then responds back to the DHCP server saying that it wants to use the IP it was offered
- The DHCP server, then lets the device know it can use them.
- Now with an IP address, you can see the other devices on the network that are on the network subnet.
I hope that helps you understand the process of DHCP when a devices connects to the network, I tried to make it as simple as possible, and it can get more complicated in a larger network.

Q&A Monday: Data Center Teirs
I am a small business owner looking to go with a cloud provider for our IT services. Each of the vendors mentions their data center level, and I've tried doing research to figure out what these levels mean, but I can't find anything describing them in plain English, can you help?
Vickie Downs
Watertown, NY
I will try my best to break the Data Center Tiers down into plain English for you. The first thing you need to know when looking, is how mission critical are your servers, this will help you decide what data center is right for you. Also it should be know that the higher the data center tier is, the more you are going to pay.
OK, now to the explanation. When you hear the term Data Center Tier (1 to 4) this is just a standardized methodology used to define availability ("uptime") of data center.
|Tier Level
As we can see from the chart above, Tier 4 data centers are considered to be the most robust and less prone to failures. Generally Tier 4 Data Centers are designed to host mission critical servers and computer systems, and they include fully redundant subsystems (cooling, power, network links, storage and servers) and have separated security zones controlled by bio-metric access controls methods. On the opposite end of this chart naturally is a Tier 1 data center used by small business or shops that don't need or can't afford the higher levels.
*Important Note*
Now people tend to brush off those availability numbers since they are only .324% off from each other, but those number can add up to significant changes in downtime. Below is the chart of allowed downtime in a given year at each tier level:
|Tier Level
|Minutes of Downtime
|1729.224 minutes
|1361.304 minutes
|94.608 minutes
|26.28 minutes

Q&A Monday: requested session access is denied
I have a user who is trying to connect to a RDS host (2008 R2 ), They are getting the error message "requested session access is denied". I checked and made sure the user is member of the local remote desktop user group and they have the permission "Allow logon via Remote desktop services" is granted. What am I missing?
Jordan B. Washington
Okeechobee, FL
I've seen this problem happen a couple of times, this is usually cleared up by removing the /admin command when connecting to the server. The user may be typing that command via command line, or if using the Remote Desktops feature in Windows 7 make sure that the admin switch is turned off.
In some cases this is turned on by default, and it's something the user would never even notice when setting it up, but it's tripped me up a couple of times.

Q&A Monday: Making a new employee feel at home
I recently started a new position at a company and one of the first major responsibilities of this position was hiring two new helpdesk analysts. I made it through the interview and selection processes, but I want to make them feel as welcomed and at home as possible. Do you have any advice?
Ramon Allen
Stratford, TX
Anyone knows that starting a new job in IT can be a bit overwhelming, usually because there IT is naturally a quick high-pressure environment working with people who may not be all that forgiving. Making someone feel at home
Starting a job can be stressful and a bit overwhelming for your new recruits — especially in a high-pressure IT environment. Here are a few things you can do to help them feel at ease and learn the ropes more quickly. I generally feel more at home, when I understand the rules of where I'm working at…and how things get processed.
1) Lunch/Dinner/Happy Hour
Every single job that I've had, I have had one of the above done for me. Even now when starting a new job (and the employee count allows it), is I go out to lunch with them. This gives you the ability to get to know someone outside of the office environment and helps build a bond between co-workers. In the IT world, every job I've had…my co-workers became a family to me, because in the end I had to rely upon them. That bond for me, usually took place over a friendly lunch.
2) delaying full administrative rights
This idea may seem at first as if you don't trust them, but that's not the case at all. Anyone who's worked in IT can tell you every system is different and different policy and procedures exists. Making a change that they may of done 1000 time on other systems may cause a problem with the current one. Taking the admin permissions away, gives them a safety net, time to learn the ropes and understand your policy and procedures, all which will lower stress in the end.
3) Provide Network documentation
Understanding the environment they are working on has two benefits, the first being makes them more comfortable working and two helps them understand the environment. Give them a copy, even if only part of it falls under their support, encourage them to ask questions or make note…and if you feel like it, tell them there will be a quiz. (I've said this many times…but never have actually quizzed anyone). Take time to explain your naming conventions…like LA-File is the Los Angels File Server where Det-VMHost is the VM Host in Detroit. Knowing the naming scheme can make identifying and locating servers or computers easier.
4) Give them the full tour
When I started out at my first helpdesk support, I was given a full tour of the office in which I was working, even introduced to the people, so that I would kinda put a face with a name (with so many people I only remembered a couple). When situations made themselves available my boss would take me out to our satellite office and do the same things there. It took a couple of months, but I did see every office and it's setup. This helped me later when I'd visit these office for work.
5) Identify demanding users
In almost every job that I've had, I've had that user, whose phone calls you didn't want to answer, but you know you had to. When someone new comes it, it's nice to let them know who the users are going to be. I've picked up the phone a couple of time, unaware of the anger the other person had brewed for months, and my first week I was their outlet. Just be careful how you talk about your end users.
Plus they can hopefully take a different approach knowing these users are more demanding than the rest. In my case when I run along these users, I was always a kill them with kindness and go the extra mile to help solve their problems…though it never made them any less demanding, sometimes they were just happy with seeing people try.
6) Keep them informed
IT moves at an insane pace sometimes, and it's easy to fall behind. I like to keep my staff as informed as possible, even if it doesn't involve them. Why? Because it keeps everyone on the same page, and where we are with projects and that way if something does move to their plate they know. Plus you never know what insight they might have.
7) Just Remember the first couple weeks suck
Starting a new job is always rough, and depending on the travel distance or the route they take…they might be adjusting their schedule to this new environment… and be a little laggy. I went from a job that was a 5 minute drive from my house, to one that was 2 hours…I had to adjust my whole life around it, getting up and ready earlier than I had before. It took me a bit to be on my game after that kind of adjustment, and then add the stress of a new job and everyone looking at me for answers.

Q&A Monday: Removing the Windows.old directory
I was having some issue with my computer, so I went to reinstall the Windows 7 , onto my computer. After the installation was complete, I noticed I have a C:\windows.old that takes up a large amount on my computer. I've tried highlighting and hitting delete, but it's not letting me remove it.
Jeanne Cundiff
Benton Harbor, MI
I've seen this happen, when people install Windows on a drive without formatting the disk. Luckily there is a very simple way that you can remove this directory.
- Click the Start button. In the search box, type Disk Cleanup and the click Disk Cleanup program.
Note: If prompted to choose a drive, select the drive you just installed Windows.
- In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click Clean up system files.
- Select the Previous Windows installation check box.
Note: plus any other check boxes you want to delete, and then click OK.
- In the message that appears, click Delete Files.
That should remove the files for you. Just make sure you really want it gone before going through these steps.

Q&A Monday: How to create a Windows Defender right click context menu
How can I make a right click option to scan a file with windows defender?
David A. Morrison
Bellerose, NY
Just as a reminder, that Windows Defender in Windows 8 is always running, but if you still wanted to scan individual files you can do it with the steps below:
- Press the Windows key to access the Start screen, type regedit at the Start screen, and press Enter to launch the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
- Right-click the shell key in the left pane, point to New, and create a new Key. Name it WindowsDefender.
- With the WindowsDefender key selected in the left pane, right-click in the right pane and create a new String value. Name it Icon, then double-click it and enter the following value:
%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender\\EppManifest.dll
- Right-click in the right pane again and create another new String value. Name it MUIVerb, then double-click it and enter the following value:
Scan with Windows Defender
- Right-click the WindowsDefender key in the left pane, point to new, and create a new key. Name it Command.
- Double-click the (Default) value in the right pane with the Command key selected and give it the following value:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -scan -scantype 3 -SignatureUpdate -file
Note: When you set this up, the scan happen in a Command Prompt window. You will only be alerted if there is a problem found. The scan is very quick, you will see a Command Prompt window flash (appear and disappear quickly), but If a problem is found, the window will stay up and alert you instead of closing
If you don't feel like doing on the registry editing, you can always Download this Zip.
Simple Tips to a Secure Password
For many of us out there creating a secure password isn't always easy, it's hard to memorize one of those complex passwords (i.e. @<6v')T[~5). I want to give you some good tips (and things to avoid) in order to make your password more secure. The most common thing people do, and I was once guilty of that myself, is make the password for every website the same. While this makes things easy on you, it also makes it easy for hacker to gain access to those accounts. Last year the website Gawker had a data breach and had username and passwords stolen from them, well some of those same username and password accounts worked on other sites, hackers know this so make sure you choose unique passwords for each site using these tips:
- Using a remember-able paraphrase create a strong password for the site.
For example (on a photo site) the passphrase you remember could be: i use my iPhone 5 and we make that secure by 1U5eMy1P0N35 (Now that password is more secure)
- Passwords should be more than 10 characters (recommend more than 15 if possible)
- Use Capitals Letters, Lower Case Letters, Numbers and Symbols
Thins to Avoid in Passwords:
- It should not be like your previous passwords
- It should not be your name (or login name)
- It should not be your friend's, pet's, family's name
- It should not be a dictionary word
- is not a keyboard pattern (qwerty, or 12345678)
- It should not be less than 10 characters
- It should not be written down where people can see it
- It should not be dates, zip codes or phone numbers
While these tricks may seems trivial, the extra security your new passwords may make it a less interesting target for hackers.
National Cyber Security Awareness Month (10th Year)
Hello Everyone,
October marks the 10th Annual Cyber Security Awareness Month. This month is set aside as an opportunity to engage both public and private sector companies and more importantly the general public to create a safe, secure, and resilient cyber environment. It's not just companies that should pay attention, everyone has to play a role in cybersecurity. The threats posed by hackers is always evolving and threaten no just businesses, but everyday home users.
Cyberspace is woven into the fabric of our daily lives and the world has never been more connected than it is today. We all enjoy the benefits and convenience that the internet provides, things like shop from home, banking online, and interact and meet new friends from around the world. The Department of Homeland Security is committed to raising cybersecurity awareness across the nation this month, and you can help by taking some time to learn how to can be safe a minimize your risks. You can get tips this month from this blog, or via my twitter @JimGuckin or use the following hashtag #NCSAM or finally by visiting the sponsors websites listed below.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of National Cyber Security Awareness Month sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security in cooperation with the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
How to elevate RSAT shortcuts
Companies out there, should not have their IT staff account with Administrator access for everyday work. Yet IT staff generally will complain (I'm guilty of it) when they need do some administrative work. Now to make an administrators work easier (while following best practices) you give the IT staff user accounts and use another account to elevate the privileges when you need to get work done. There is a problem using the Windows RSAT tools on Windows , it tries to use your user account to do this, and since it's not an administrator, it fails. On Windows 7 workstations you have to use a trick (shift+ right click -> Run as a different user) to get these RSAT tools to work. This can just be plain annoying to do, but there is a work around.
To eliminate the extra clicks and the need to enter your username and password every time you launch an admin tool from your user account, you can edit the shortcut to the tool to include the RUNAS command. This can be easily accomplished this on your machine by making copies of the RSAT shortcuts and placing them on your desktop and editing those copies. I would suggest not editing the start menu icons and that applies to all users and letting other users that might log in to your computer be able to launch these tools with the admin account. (Not Good)
Copy the shortcuts that live in the hidden folder at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools\. I copied the shortcuts of the tools I use and pasted them to the desktop.
Once you get the tools you use, copied to the desktop, Right-click on those new shortcuts and choose Properties. On the properties tab under the Target field change the text from:
%SystemRoot%\system32\runas /savecred /user:yourdomain\domainuser "mmc dsa.msc"
(It goes without saying buy: Replace yourdomain with the name of your domain and domainuser with the name of the admin account you want to use.)
I added the /savecred switch (optional) and this saves the password you type. Click OK and then double-click the icon for the RSAT you just edited. You'll see a command window pop up that will ask you for the password associated with the account you entered in the /user switch. Type your password (don't freak out because the cursor will not move), and hit enter, and the tool will launch. If you chose to use the /savecred switch, this is the only time you will be prompted to enter the password for that user. Saved passwords can be managed in the Credentials Manager (if you need to update or delete)

If the sticker is on a window, you can easily take it off by using a razor blade. Place the razor blade at a 90 degree angle from the window, and using medium pressure scrape off the sticker.
- Try pulling off the sticker first. Don't force it if you see it is not coming completely off.
- I have heard a few ways to remove stickers on cars. The first is by using a blow dryer to heat up the glue. The glue will become soft and the bumper sticker should peel off easily.
- Another idea I heard was to use WD-40 and soak the sicker until it can be easily peeled off. Keep repeating until the sticker is completely removed.
After removing the sticker:
- Wash the area with soap and water, and then dry with a clean lint free towel.

Wrong prescription for civil justice
The commentary by James R. Maxeiner ("The fixable flaws of U.S. civil justice," June 24), insofar as it applies to Maryland, displays a lamentable lack of familiarity with the operation of our court system. The contention that a lawsuit where the damages are $100,000 is "too small" to be handled by the courts is simply inaccurate. And to contend that the fees for such a recovery would consume 75 percent of such amount is at odds with prevailing standards.

SSRF publishes these case studies with the intention of providing some direction to our readers with regard to problems that manifest at a physical or psychological level, but which can have their root cause in the spiritual dimension. When the root cause of a problem is spiritual in nature we have observed that the inclusion of spiritual healing remedies generally gives the best results. SSRF advises continuation of conventional medical treatment along with spiritual healing remedies for the treatment of physical and psychiatric illnesses. Readers are advised to take up any spiritual healing remedy at their own discretion.
This is a case study of Luis who is now 39, who was plagued with sexual thoughts from a very young age. The reason behind the sexual thoughts was actually possession by a witch (chetkin). The witch would plant thoughts in his mind in order to facilitate her experiencing him in a sexual way. The problem finally went away through spiritual healing methods.
1. An account of the problem of excessive sexual thoughts
The following is an account of the problem of excessive sexual thoughts in Luis' own words.
[Luis is not his real name and has been used to protect his privacy]
All my life, I always felt a lot of attraction towards women. I would constantly think about beautiful women. I would want to watch them, speak to them and be in their company. To satisfy my desires, I used to like to be around models, actresses and popular singers and photograph them. My room would be littered with hundreds of photographs of beautiful women.
The excessive thoughts about sex would quite often impact my work. I would find it difficult to concentrate and would often get distracted. I would end up day dreaming about some sexual fantasy. Though I would sincerely try to focus on my work, the thoughts would just keep coming and then I would finally give in. It was always a great struggle to fight these thoughts.
The paradox was that while I was constantly fantasizing about women, I always wanted to treat them like a gentleman whenever I interacted with them and would feel a lot of respect for them. I did my utmost to never let the dark sexual fantasies that haunted me hurt any of the women that I interacted with. This difference in my personality would often leave me bewildered and confused.
Sometimes I would be drawn into a series of one night stands. On one occasion when I was on a trip to another country, I started a sexual relationship with a young woman that lasted for days. After I returned from the trip, I felt disgusted with myself and tried to wash away the feeling by being in self-inflicted seclusion. In such circumstances, I would read the Holy Bible to help me stabilize my mind. I would feel better when I was in these states of seclusion. Even though I could not control the sexual thoughts, I was disgusted by them and also by myself. As a result, quite often I would stay away from having any sort of sexual relationship with women for many months on end.
My friend who was practising Spirituality under the guidance of the Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) recommended that I chant the Name of God according to my religion. I began to chant Lord Jesus as I am a Christian. Initially I experienced a rise in sexual thoughts, which I found quite strange. After persisting with chanting Lord Jesus' Name, they began to reduce. From then onwards whenever the sexual thoughts began to arise, I would begin to chant with more concentration and with greater speed. I also undertook regular salt water treatment. I did this especially when the thoughts were excessive and I was in a weaker state. It was quite incredible how the sexual thoughts would diminish if not completely stop after the salt water remedy. For the first time in my life, I realised that I had a tool to combat the sexual thoughts and keep them under control.
2. The subtle-reading of Luis' case
The following is an account of the subtle-reading of Luis' case by Anuradha Wadekar, a seeker of SSRF with activated sixth sense. She is able to see into the subtle-dimension just as we can see the physical world. She could perceive all the following information without any prior knowledge about the person or his condition.
The following is a drawing based on subtle-knowledge of what Anuradha saw when taking a subtle-reading of Luis.
The reason behind the excessive sexual thoughts was a witch. She had taken a liking to Luis and had been around him ever since his teenage years. The drawing based on subtle-knowledge shows how the witch is putting thoughts into his mind through her black energy.
The drawing based on subtle-knowledge shows a witch hugging Luis. Luis is trying to concentrate on his article that he is writing as part of his spiritual practice of doing service unto the Absolute Truth (satsēvā). The witch is intent on establishing a sexual relationship with him. That is why she is putting sexual thoughts in his mind. The sexual thoughts that Luis has make it conducive for her to sexually experience him. Sometimes ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies etc.) dress in a sexy way or wear some kind of nice subtle-ornament to hide their ugly looks and pretend to be beautiful.
Unaware of this phenomenon happening in the subtle-dimension, Luis was distracted by excessive sexual thoughts. Luis used to experience excessive sexual thoughts but was under the impression that they were psychological in nature. He tried a variety of psychological methods to rid himself of this defect but to no avail. Taking up spiritual healing remedies finally relieved him.
2.1 Distress experienced by Anuradha when creating the above drawing based on subtle-knowledge
When I was creating the above drawing based on subtle-knowledge of Luis, my head became heavy, my neck was constricted and my mind was flooded with many sexual thoughts. I realized what distress Luis must have gone through. Later when I created the drawing based on subtle-knowledge of the spiritual healing remedy, I felt as if the healing remedy was done on me and I was relieved of the above distress.
– Anuradha Wadekar
2.2 Subtle-reading of Luis when he started the spiritual healing remedy
When Luis started the spiritual practice of chanting the Name of God, he raised his protection levels against attacks by the witch.
Refer to the article on, "How does chanting work to purify our mind?"
Also do refer to the pictorial representation of an overview of mechanism of chanting.
As a result, he was less affected by the witch. The witch became furious and used all of her energy and there seemed to be a rise in the sexual thoughts even with spiritual practice. She tried to create obstacles in his spiritual practice. SSRF suggested to Luis that he complement his spiritual practice with the salt water remedy. She became even more ineffective when he did the spiritual healing remedy of salt water.
2.3 Drawing based on subtle-knowledge of spiritual healing remedy of salt water
When Luis firmly resolves to overcome all the obstacles and do the salt water treatment, the witch experiences distress and she moves away. This drawing based on subtle-knowledge shows the effect of the spiritual healing remedy of salt water on the witch tormenting Luis. The black energy of the witch and that in Luis is being pulled into the salt water. The witch has moved one foot upward to keep her black energy from being sucked into the salt water.
2.4 Further remedies
If you are being plagued by incessant sexual thoughts and if they are caused by a ghost, the following remedies will help in alleviating the symptoms.
- Only a spiritually evolved person above the spiritual level of 70% can accurately tell whether the problem is being caused by something in the subtle-dimension or if the root cause is psychological or physical in nature.
- A person with activated sixth sense may be able to perceive to some extent if the cause is in the subtle-dimension (such as a ghost).
- For those who do not have activated sixth sense and who do not have access to a spiritually evolved person, there is a way of intellectually finding out whether the root cause may be in the subtle-dimension. By and large, if the sexual thoughts are not quelled despite all conventional methods, then one can safely assume that they could be due to a spiritual cause. Among the spiritual causes, in these times it is very likely that it is due to ghosts. One can also complement the conventional treatment methods with spiritual healing remedies for added benefit or early and lasting results.
To rid oneself of sexual thoughts one should chant the following Names of God in sequence:
Om Shrī Durgādevyai Namaha
Om Namah Shivāya
Om Namo Bhagavate Vāsudevāya
You will need to do nyās on the spiritual energy centre (chakra) at the navel (Maṇipur-chakra). While taking the nyas position at the navel, repeat the above chant sequence as many times as possible every day until you get relief from the symptoms. Continue the remedy for some days for a complete cure.

Throughout society over time, there is an obvious and unhealthy desire of antagonists to win. To win now. To win decisively. To win without regard for future consequences. This mentality isn't helping families, companies, society or the economy to function as needed.
What I would like to see most of all at this time is greater spirit, willingness and foresight to compromise. I'm not distinguishing particularly between personal, local, national or global issues — more compromise is needed at all of these levels.
Yes, this is a competitive world. Life determines winners and losers every day. This reality is inevitable and no amount of compromise is going to change it. There are purists on two or more sides of most issues. Many see compromise as a synonym for muddle. Fight for what you believe is right. Don't sacrifice for a worthy cause. And so forth.
Compromise is hard and sometimes it may be wrong. To the extent the recently announced interim deal with Iran reflects a compromise, there are many people and some countries that think it is a really, really bad outcome. There is no shortage of disagreement either about the U.S. decision — an apparent compromise with Russia among others — to refrain from attacking Syria after the use of chemical weapons was established, thus breaching the "bright red line."
Yet with that said, the world is suffering for our inability to achieve compromise. Possibly the most visible example of the failure to compromise is the U.S. government's inability to agree on a budget and a workable means of growing its borrowing capacity while it addresses questions of long-term financial viability. This is serious stuff. It affects the standing of the U.S. in the world and therefore the world order. It affects prospects for economic growth. It affects consumer confidence. It affects people's plans and commitments to take vacations, including Royal Caribbean cruises. That's enough for me to think that compromise is a big idea.
I've mentioned several large-scale national and global issues. But failure to compromise and the consequences thereof is hardly the exclusive terrain of our elected and appointed leaders. It's plainly evident between individuals, between departments of companies, within industry associations, between plaintiffs and defendants, etc. There needs to be more impetus for identification of common interests and growing the pie for everyone.
The win-at-all cost mentality is apparent at every level of society and in all branches of our government. I don't think this is a benefit to most of us. Therefore my big idea for 2014 would be for people in general (and governmental leaders in particular) to put more effort into forging useful and durable compromises that improve the economy and our collective security.

The Miami Marlins are the worst team in the National League by 6 1/2 games. If it wasn't for the Astros, they'd be the worst team in all of baseball. Just last season, they opened a new stadium with new uniforms, a geographic name change, a bloated payroll, and a World Series-winning manager at the helm. The team took an embarrassing and historical nosedive, ultimately firing manager Ozzie Guillen and trading off any and all trade-able pieces at the deadline and over the off-season.
So how quickly can the Marlins go from a free-spending, supposedly surefire contender that was anything but, to a rebuilding organization, and back to a respectable squad?
After finishing 2012 with a 69-93 record (.426 winning percentage), the Marlins have stumbled their way to a 44-73 (.376) record thus far in 2013. Take into account the caliber of players that Miami sold-off after their putrid start to 2012, and 44-73 might even be a little better than what was expected of rookie manager Mike Redmond's crew.
The Marlins offense is absolutely atrocious, having scored just 370 runs in 117 games through play on Tuesday. That comes out to just just 3.16 runs per game, and and a full 61 runs behind the Chicago White Sox, the next most futile offensive attack in baseball.
It's hard to quantify just how bad Miami's lineup is. But we'll try. There are only three regulars that have been with the team most of the season that are carrying on-base percentages over .310. Not, batting average, mind you. On-base percentage. There are also only three regulars carrying slugging percentages over .400.
Two of the three players in each above category are the same: Giancarlo Stanton and Logan Morrison. Stanton remains one of the more coveted trade targets in the league, still just 23 years old and possessing quite possibly the most prodigious raw power of anyone in the majors. The Marlins can (and evidently are) ask for a fortune in return for the budding slugger, and he'll be a name that we continue to hear about. Whether or not the Marlins' brass should deal Stanton is a topic for another day, as he still has years of team control on a cheap contract. Which, of course, is exactly what rebuilding teams are looking for.
Morrison is LoMo of social media fame, known for his Tweeting and less for his on-field performance. His frequent injuries are mostly to blame for that, however, as Morrison appears to be turning into a serviceable major league player. After posting a .286/.377/.459 line over parts of seven minor league seasons, Morrison is finally coming close to replicating that performance in the bigs, hitting .273/.368/.441 so far in 2013.
The Marlins recently called up another top outfield prospect in 21 year-old Christian Yelich to combine with Stanton as the only potentially star-caliber position players on the major league club. Yelich was the Marlins' first round selection in 2010 and appeared at #15 on Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects before this season, and profiles as a good hitter for average with the potential for 20+ home run power in the near future after hitting .313/.387/.499 in four minor league seasons.
Clearly, the offense will need some help, with a limited amount of true position player prospects in the upper levels of the Marlins system for the time being. The pitching, however, is an entirely different story.
Led by 20-year old phenom Jose Fernandez, the Marlins pitching staff has been unexpectedly good through the first 70% or so of the 2013 season. In fact, Miami ranks 11th in the majors in team ERA; fascinating considering that they still carry the 2nd worst record in all of baseball.
Impressive would be an understatement for how well Fernandez has pitched, carrying a 2.58 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP in 132 2/3 innings, not to mention a 9.7 K/9 inning rate. The sky may just be the limit for him, and he's actually been picking up steam and pitching better over the past couple of months than he was early in the season.
In addition to Fernandez, former Detroit Tigers farmhand Jacob Turner (22 years old) is pitching very well, with a 2.95 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP in 13 starts, and former Los Angeles Dodgers minor leaguer Nathan Eovaldi has impressed too, posting a 2.82 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP in ten starts.
In short, this Marlins team is mostly young, cheap, and promising, and most importantly of all, the pitching is extremely encouraging. While there remains a startling lack of infield prospects in the Miami system, the outfield and the pitching staff looks to be well on its way. A lot is riding on when/if the Marlins elect to trade Stanton, and what they get in return for him if they he is moved. They've done well in accruing prospects in the majority of their recent trades, but Stanton should fetch the largest return of them all.
It will be a couple of seasons before Miami becomes a respectable, better-than .500 club, and probably a couple more beyond that before they can hope to be legitimate contenders. But they are most certainly on the right track. If they find some help in the infield, they could arrive at contender status even sooner than most of us expected after the debacle that was 2012.

PFW Backstage Beauty Alert: Minx Madness
Minx has been grabbing headlines left and right in recent weeks. In addition to securing a U.S. patent on its unique method for applying non-liquid graphic films to nails (imitators, beware) and introducing a new collaboration series with super-manicurists like Lisa Logan (Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, and Queen Latifah) and Marian Newman (Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood, and Valentino), the brand has been killing it backstage at shows like Dennis Basso in New York and David Koma in London. And its newfound role as newsmaker doesn't look to be losing steam anytime soon. Style.com has just learned that Minx co-founders Janice Jordan and Dawn Lynch-Goodwin will be in full force at Gareth Pugh, at Thierry Mugler for Nicola Formichetti's first womenswear collection for the house, and at Alexander McQueen—where, lest we remind you, the duo premiered one of Spring's best manis: a copper patterned tip layered over a gold base that was inspired by look 26 from Sarah Burton's runway debut. What will they come up with next? You'll find out next week. (We know, we're excited too.)

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Did you actually read the post properly - you know the bit where he says :-
'It's true that my knowledge and experience of PvP pretty much extends as far as being a ble to smell it early enough to avoid it. Don't get me wrong, I love researching for Blood Pact but in this case I'm not going to try, and for two reasons. First, nobody who cares about warlock PvP wants to have me school them on it'
So your comments of 'What about Shadowfury. You know, the second most important lock cc? SF -> HoT. This is the most important trick that every semi-competent PvP lock will use.' are a bit off tbh - im not querying any factual information - thats for more experienced locks to see n comment. But having a go because he doesnt cover pvp AFTER he stated he wont advise on PVP is just being nasty imo.
Second 'pretty sure'? Well imo if your gonna have a go - you better be SURE. You would have a go if the author is only 'pretty sure', so check your facts before you berate people because of them, and BE sure.

Wallpaper Pattern Shown on Gossip Girl?
Good Questions
Q: On a recent episode of Gossip Girl there was a design on a wall (photo attached, apologies it isn't the best but I've been searching everywhere for a photo of the design!). I'm trying to track down where I could get something similar and hoping you or your readers might have an idea.
Originally, I thought it was birds, but upon looking at the photo closer it appears it may actually be butterflies? I'm not quite sure, either way I like how they have it arranged and would love to create a similar look. Appreciate any ideas or suggestions!
Sent by Brandie
Editor: It looks a bit like wallpaper by Trove - can anyone provide an exact ID or have any info to share?
• Got a question? Email yours with pic attachments here (those with pics get answered first)

I'm fairly certain that its not a wallpaper. I think it is many small butterflies glued or pinned in that pattern on the wall.
It looks kind of like those Umbra magnetic wallflower things — They have some shaped like dragonflies, flowers, etc. Here is an example:
It's a Paul Villinsky Butterfly sculpture: http://www.paulvillinski.com/artwork/beercan.html - gorgeous!!
Yes, a sculpture by Paul Villinski. (i know that cause i designed his website, heehee)
Yes! I loved this sculpture as well. So much inspiration on this show- great set designers (:
Wow, those Paul Villinski sculptures are breathtaking!
I agree its a 3 dimensional arrangement or sculpture but...I was looking thru the wonderful Stencil Library site and they have a wonderful bird stencil that would give a similar look, very fluid and full of movement. The site is in England but seems to be easily devised for purchasing from our side of the seas.
wall mounted butterflies
I was reminded very much of an artist who is currently obsessed with butterflies. He decorated a house in Germany (the town where I live in) with thousands of butterflies.
This is not my blog, but the pictures are the best I could find. The artist is Mark Köschinger and the house easily the most decrepit in the whole town.
I've seen something very similar to those (3d butterflies to mount on the wall) sold at Target. I think they may have been white or silver, but several sets of those arranged on the wall would be essentially the same thing. Not sure if they still carry them though.
I saw that too and just loved it. I have some umbra bird 'wall art' that I got at Target. And I have some bird decals that I got on line. I have considered trying to 're create' this look, using birds, rather than the butterflies. However, I have one other suggestion. There is a modeling clay that you can get, that you 'bake' to harden. You could (inexpensively) make some birds or butterflies and then bake them. Then attach them to the wall with velcro, or something like that. It would not be costly, but it would take some time.
I've seen this done a lot over the past 4 years. It's just those feather butterflies that come in packages of like 10. They are indeed either pinned or glued to the wall.
Didn't someone make something like this out of recycled aluminum pop cans? I remember seeing it here on AT but not sure where it is...
Urban Outfitters sells these "Wallflowers" that could create a similar look for less.
The link was too long to paste. Go to urbanoutfitters.com and search "Set of 25 Wallflower Wall Decor"
I think they are actually little sculptures made by Umbra that tack to the wall. I have white flowers covering the wall in my bedroom, and you can find them on amazon. I don't see the butterflies, but this is a step in the right direction! Good luck! http://tinyurl.com/2banlv7
try a company called TROVE who does a gorgeous wallpaper with a similiar effect
http://www.etsy.com/listing/57203883/3d-wall-butterflies-20-black-paper I was reminded of these.
Hi, that last link is actually to my shop on Etsy. :)
If you're interested in these, I make paper butterflies in a variety of colors for wall decoration, and can take custom orders if you need a color not shown on my shop.
hi benitaS, this is marc koeschinger, the butterflies artist ;O)

A deal that could save your parents
In addition to the upfront premium, there's a continuing annual insurance premium that equals 1.25% of the outstanding loan balance. If you borrowed a lump sum of $150,000 against that $300,000 home, the annual insurance premium would equal $1,875 the first year and would rise as your debt rose.
There is also now an HECM for Purchase Program, which allows older homeowners to make large down payments on new homes and then use reverse mortgages to finance the rest of the costs. This program was created after FHA officials noticed some seniors were downsizing and then getting a reverse mortgage on their new property, paying closing costs twice -- first on the real estate closing and then on the reverse mortgage. The HECM for Purchase has just one set of fees, although as with other reverse mortgages, the homeowner must have substantial equity in his or her current home.
What they cost
In addition to the insurance premiums, you'll face lender fees: an origination fee of up to $6,000 plus closing costs. Some lenders are waiving or reducing these fees, but combined with the insurance costs they can add $15,000 or more to the cost of the loan.
It's important to understand that you don't typically pay these fees out of pocket. They're deducted from your loan amount, so interest accrues on these costs as well as on the money you actually get to use. Since you don't make payments on this loan, your debt grows over time.
It's the traditionally high cost of reverse mortgages that made them a "last resort" option for so many years -- to be considered only after you've exhausted all your other assets. Even downsizing -- selling your home and moving, despite the considerable expenses involved -- was often recommended as a better option, when such a move was feasible and the senior was willing to consider it.
The reduced costs of the HECM Saver have changed the math, however. Now a senior might consider a reverse mortgage instead of tapping other assets, or even if she didn't plan to be in the home for years to come. In fact, Kelly said, it might be an option to go for an HECM Saver while waiting a few years for the housing market to recover, so she could sell it at a higher price.
What the dangers are
There are a number of drawbacks to consider, some obvious, some less so. Here are some of them:
- Because the accumulated debt grows over time, there may be little or no equity left in the home after the borrower dies or moves out and the loan has to be paid off. That's one of the concerns that Vincent's parents had. "As their only major asset, they felt that their home was supposed to be left for the children," he said. "As virtuous as that was, I tried to convey to them to take care of themselves first and that it was a quality-of-life issue."
- Complications can ensue if a borrower's spouse or significant other is not on the loan but wants to continue living in the home after the borrower dies or moves out permanently, such as to a nursing home. A change in HUD rules made during the last Bush administration requires the spouse or significant other to pay off the entire loan, even if the balance exceeds the home's value. (See "HUD sued over reverse-mortgage rules.")
- Homeowners may pull the trigger too soon. If you tap your home equity and run through the money, you won't have that resource to draw on if you later encounter big expenses such as long-term care bills or home repairs. That's why experts recommend putting off a reverse mortgage as long as possible rather than applying for one in your 60s or early 70s and then having to be careful not to squander the cash. If the borrower is in a jam because of overspending, a reverse mortgage won't fix the problem -- it will only postpone the day he or she runs out of cash.
- Reverse mortgages are complex. They're quite different from conventional mortgages, and there are a lot of moving parts, from the various fees charged to the payout options (there are five) to the interest rates (typically variable, but fixed for the lump-sum payout option). It can be tough for borrowers to wrap their heads around all these details.
- There may be better options. Some consumer advocates are concerned that lenders eager to make these loans may railroad seniors into deals when the borrowers might be better off refinancing, downsizing, using other assets or arranging a loan from a family member. Here's what Consumers Union said in a recent report: "While the reverse mortgage market continues to grow, there are deep concerns about the suitability of the products for some borrowers, the aggressive marketing and misleading advertising of reverse mortgages to seniors, the susceptibility of vulnerable borrowers to deceptive marketing involving complicated financial products, and the inadequacy of consumer protections to prevent loan abuses that can hurt eligible borrowers."
- The default issue is something to consider as well. If the house is too expensive to maintain and insure, or if the borrower can't handle the property taxes, the loan would be considered in default and the borrower would be cut off from any remaining funds. He or she could no longer tap the line of credit or receive monthly checks.
Anyone considering a reverse mortgage should review the information on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's website, including a link to a pamphlet about the loans prepared by AARP (.pdf file).
If a reverse mortgage still looks like a good option, take the following steps:
- Shop like crazy. Just because HECM loans are federally backed doesn't mean they're all the same. They're made through private lenders, which compete with each other on fees and other costs. Get several offers before deciding.
- Get help evaluating the deal. The FHA requires borrowers to get counseling from a HUD-approved counselor before a reverse mortgage can be approved, but some -- including the Government Accountability Office (.pdf file) -- feel the counseling may be inadequate. Lenders don't have a fiduciary duty to borrowers, so anyone considering a reverse mortgage would be smart to get a second opinion from a knowledgeable, objective professional -- such as a CPA or fee-only financial planner familiar with reverse mortgages or a lawyer who specializes in elder law. (Referrals can be found from the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys.)
- Don't use the money to invest or to buy insurance. Reverse mortgages aren't a speculative play. They're meant to be used by seniors who need more money on which to live and who have few other options. An investment salesperson may make gambling with home equity sound like a smart deal, but it's not -- the only person sure to benefit is the person earning the commission on the product being sold.
- Create a budget. If the borrower is broke because of overspending, the reverse mortgage won't really fix the problem. Set up a consultation with a fee-only financial planner or a legitimate credit counselor (get referrals from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling) to create a spending plan the senior can live with.

Not all reverse mortgages are scams. My mother's largest investment was her house, and she couldn't use the money any other way. My mother took a reverse mortgage out several years ago, she has used part of her money to fix the house, the roof and buy some things she needed. I went with her to sign the papers and every fee was listed clearly, every rule was explained to us at that time. She was able to borrow 2/3 of the appraised value if she wanted it. She still has about 1/3 of her available balance she can use. She is almost 84 years old and this is working perfectly for her because she wanted to stay in her home. When she dies, we family members have one year to sell the house to pay back what she borrowed, and we keep the rest. But I hope she spends and enjoys every cent that she can, I never expected an "inheritance" anyway.
In the current real estate market, she would have never been able to sell her house for what it is worth. If she dies any time soon, we probably won't be able to sell it and the bank can have it then for all I care. The main thing is she got to live where she wanted to and spend her money the way she wanted to do it.
DEAR FRIENDS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS OFFER, , SHE DIED, , LOST HER SS INCOME , HE ILL & STRUGLING TO MAKE THE FEES , HE SOON TO BE IN NURSING HOME , BOTH THESE COUPLES WERE SEEMING TO MANAGE WITHOUT THIS MONEY THEY GOT. IT IS VERY SAD TO SEE THEM IN THIS SITUATION. i BELIEVE THEY DID NOY FULLY UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS TYPE LOAN .
Paul Lints, the private banker, is probably writing the reverse mortgage for his dad to get all the fees for PNC. There are so many better ways for a private banker to handle this transaction, helping his father, that this almost comes under the heading of elder abuse.
What is a guy 85 years old riding with that much debt anyhow? He should have taken care of that situation years ago.
That was great information but if any of you have any doubt on how reverse mortgage works you should contact a lender! What you need to do is to locate a local mortgage professional to help with the process and get rid of your doubts. Basic and simple information on reverse mortgage is what you are looking for? Find yourself a honest lender with a nation-wide cover! I spoke to Mike through the phone, he is from reverse mortgage lenders direct and I recommend you call him - 877-700-0534 Super-friendly and very knowledgeable guy!
They say your children can pay off what you owe on the reverse mortgage after you die, but can you imagine what would be owed, if you lived ten years after taking out the reverse mortgage? Think how much you would owe, if you didn't make your house payment for ten years.
They never loan you the full amount, usually they loan you about half of the value of the home. Sometimes there are a lot of hidden fees that add up, too.
Until they could sell, they could take a loan out for enough to pay the house payments for a few years until they sell the home, plus make payments on the loan they are taking out. But there are pot holes doing that too. Sometimes they charge a lot for a loan plus demand too much collateral.
Staying where they were probably was the smartest way to go. Taking out any type of loan would probably worry the elderly a lot.
A lot of what the young call 'hand to mouth' is only the elderly being frugal. They don't have to have the latest car or travel the world. Many are happy puttering around the house and taking their afternoon nap.

Following the grisly 1997 Cube and its 2002 sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube, Cube Zero stretches the original's The Twilight Zone-like, strangers-in-a-box theme a little thin. Fortunately, there's a difference this time. The hero is not just another disoriented captive of the Cube's interconnected--often lethal--rooms, but rather a geek named Eric (Zachary Bennett) who sits in a control station wrestling with his conscience about inflicting misery on innocent people. Taking orders over the phone from some almighty, unknown power in a distant office, Eric reaches a breaking point and enters the maze himself, intent on helping a woman (Stephanie Moore) who doubts his motives. The existential bent of the prior films becomes even more Kafkaesque this time with the arrival of a white-collar team of tormentors, bureaucratic tyrants who can't or won't explain the point of the Cube. Imaginative writer-director Ernie Barbarash rescues what might have been a tedious formula flick. --Tom Keogh

Unemployment: Day 179
It was about six months ago that I quit my job. The work was fine, the people were nice and the pay was adequate, but my decision to walk away had nothing to do with all that. At some point, at least in my head, the benefits of sticking around were overshadowed by the opportunity costs.
"I have more to offer the world than this," I thought. "I can do better." This was my mantra. It was my inspiration. It may also have been my hubris.
I've applied for roughly four dozen jobs since then. The net result? One interview and two rejection letters, which leaves about 45 who couldn't even be bothered to say, "Fuck you."
I'm not alone, of course. Unemployment the last few years has been at its highest point since the Reagan era. In the human capital market, supply is up and demand is down. That means even if I find work, it won't likely be rewarding, either personally or financially. But I try, anyway.
How could I not? I grew up in a country that glorifies work. Only in recent decades, the Puritan work ethic has given way to a new value system, where work is judged on the basis of whether or not it's paid. In today's America, if you're, say, a mortgage underwriter who's systematically flirting with economic ruin, you're a productive citizen. But if you're a mother who busts her ass all day keeping a household running, you're just an entitled deadbeat.
Trouble is, the more signals people get that they're useless wastes, the harder it gets for them to ignore it. Being sequestered on the margins of society and having your repeated attempts to reconnect ignored feels a lot like not getting invited to the cool kid's party in high school. Only this party — the labor force — is supposed to be a meritocracy, not a popularity contest. So if you're not invited, what's the logical conclusion?
Save your sympathy; I'm not depressed. No, I'm pissed off. Not because I think I'm entitled to a job or even to an interview, but because of the not-so-faint whiff of self-importance I'm getting off the job creators. Every single job description I read is rife with smug asides about how goddamn special the company is, and (often explicit) warnings for potential applicants that if they even think about sending something as pedestrian as a resume and a cover letter outlining why they're a good fit, the company will devote all of its resources to developing time-travel technology for the sole purpose of going back to the very moment your parents first met and punching them both in the face.
The good news is those threats are idle. The bad news is that what really happens is worse: Basically, you spend a whole day of your life (sometimes more) jumping through a ridiculous series of hoops to tailor your pitch and craft it just so, taking things like design, language, overall tone and choice of medium (or media) into consideration. In other words, you work.
And sometimes you're not going to be right for the job. Or they're going to find someone better. And that's fair.
But you're telling me they can't even find time to e-mail a polite, "Fuck you"?
Fuck you.
Because while you might think you're part of the solution (creating jobs, innovating, smashing old-school inside-the-box conventions), you're wrong. For every person you hire, you're initiating or sustaining the shame spirals of dozens of others.
See, the more times I get ignored, the less I even bother to try. So let's just cut to the chase. Here's the cover letter you deserve, and may eventually get:
Dear obliviously undifferentiated company,
I'm writing about the job opening for an Assistant Deputy Manager for Mundane Activities. As you describe it, the work sounds dreadful, tedious, degrading and quite frankly beneath me. However, I have bills to pay. I'm sure you understand.
I'm a smart guy with a lot of experience in a variety of fields. While it's difficult for me to translate the industry jargon you used to describe the role's responsibilities into anything remotely meaningful, I'm confident that I can learn whatever routine tasks are involved and master whatever banal "strategy" you apply to them in order to make yourselves feel less hopelessly ordinary.
While the tone of this letter may seem brusque, I assure you I get along splendidly with people who are not assholes.
When you're prepared to have an honest discussion about what you need and how I can help, you may contact me at the number below or through any of the zillion other Internet-based methods you've no doubt heard about from your socially maladjusted nephew.
Go fuck yourself,

It takes five minutes to go AFK. If you are not an honor grinder when was the last time you were in a BG and didn't do anything for FIVE MINUTES? If you go AFK in a BG you should get kicked out.; no more BGs for 24 hours. End of honor grinding, end of problem with welfare epics. If you are casual and actually put in the time PLAYING BGs to get s1/s2 gear via honor it is not welfare, it is a means of gear progression that can accomidate your schedule.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
While I am sure that teachers would all like to pat themselves on the back and say they do a great job... And while it is certainly just as important for Parents and Students to be involved in the education process...For a teacher to be so QUICK to assure me that the schools low scores are NOT caused by the teachers nor the Principle shows me the level of concern and ownership this schools staff has for the education of our children. There is no sense of working with the children and parents educate the children, just an asignment of blame, and a washing of hands. My children will never attend this school.
Notice the 'concerned parent' can't spell the word 'to' or use correct grammer. That should tell you something. Western Hills is a great school full of caring teachers and staff members. Children are very well cared for. An excellent education is offered to all, but not accepted by all. I can assure you the low test scores are not caused by the teachers nor the principal.
The principal doesn't care for any of the students. She will embarrass your children in front of the entire class. teachers ignore your kids in class. Anyone is allowed 2 pick up your child and there is no supervision of students after school. They are walked out the door and left there. Test scores are al extremely low and keeps dropping more and more every year.

Join the PodKast LIVE!
A special announcement calls for extraordinary steps, so on this week's Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") Christian Cawley and James McLean will be broadcasting at 7pm from Google Hangouts – that's right, we're podKasting our commentary and discussion of the unveiling of the new Doctor LIVE on the web.
Christian and James will be observing the events of Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor, possibly with some irreverence, and you'll be able to witness first hand our reaction as the Twelfth Doctor is unveiled.
Whether you're free to join us or catch up after the show, you'll still be able to download the podKast and listen via iTunes, Stitcher, Audioboo and RSS so there's no change there – but for such a big event, we thought it would be pretty cool to throw our faces onto the web and go live…
We'll be updating you with the link here, on Facebook and on Twitter closer to broadcast, but until then, get ready for another memorable night of Doctor Who!
One Response to Join the PodKast LIVE!
I'll look forward to listening, but it will be after the event as my wife has invited family round for dinner. Good luck, it's going to be a long day in the life of a DW fan…

Brentwood, Calif.- A mistake led to the ultimate parking restriction in one Brentwood neighborhood.
The City of Los Angeles recently installed a "1 Minute Parking" sign in 1170 block of San Vicente Boulevard.
The restriction is in place Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
However, the city says this is a mistake, and the sign should read "One Hour Parking."
Reports say the sign will likely remain in place because it will take a couple of weeks to remake the sign.

Well i can safely say i was not born to be a mathmatician.
Casually sat in physics… Fuck my life
Well, after a rather shit nights sleep, i wake up to find that half of my class has an exam. The first exam of this year, Biology. A good morning of sitting by myself in economics and maths awaits me. Fun yes ?
I suppose it could be worse, i could have at exam today.
After weeks of the college blocking every single webpage known to man it appears they have forgotten to block tumblr.
Well let the blogging begin!
Well, unfortunately today is the last day before i return to College. Alas it is not that bad, it just means that i will have to use tumblr. Mobile App, which if you asked me to rate out of 10 i would answer with 'well it's about -67.5'. Although this may seem a stupid answer and technically not out of 10, it is a fair representation of my feelings towards the App. It is not that it is build badly, but it never, ever, ever seems to work as i ask it to. Queue post = Post your post now … No, if i wanted to post it now i would have clicked post. Although this is not that bad, the worst bit is when i actually want to post something here and now and it sits there inside my phone with it's pompus little spinning image. Then after what seems like literally hours of waiting it tells me that there is an 'Error' and takes me back to the main menu. This is very annoying for 3 reasons; Firstly i have to re-write my post again before i can attempt to re-post it, which if i have written a long post like this extremely tedious. Secondly, it does not give me a reason as to why it didn't send, no hint as to what the 'Error' was, This has lead to me often re-writing my post again, and then it saying there is an 'Error' and the whole annoying cycle starts over. Thirdly, IF I WANT TO POST SOMETHING NOW, POSTING IT IN HALF AN HOUR IS NOT NOW!!!.
Ahh well, enough of my rant about the tumblr app, if tumblr happen to read this, maybe then can take a note of the points i have highlighted.
On the bright side, i have exams next week, yes the fact that this is the 'bright side' to this post really allows you to see the extent that i despise the tumblr. app. And in case you were thinking 'ahh exams aren't that bad' it's maths, yes a maths exam, so it is possibly the worst exam ever created.
Baby poo, baby sick, is there anything life won't put on my jeans ? \T\
After an hour of travelling to see my new baby cousin I reached the inevitable point where every part of my body from the waist down goes numb, oh what fun. Also, don't all babies just look the same anyway ? \T\

Parts of Royal University Hospital remain vulnerable even as life in the building gets back to normal following a disruptive power outage.
Crews as of Wednesday had restored interim power, steam, suction, critical ventilation and heating in the 59-year-old building. In addition, the parkade elevator was working once again. However, there remained no backup power for some key systems, including the hospital's air flow system in the event of another outage, said Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) vice-president of finance and corporate services Nilesh Kavia.
"The situation today is a little brighter than it was yesterday," Kavia said on Wednesday, a day after power problems gripped the aging hospital.
There is a backup generator at the hospital, but the only panel that distributes that power is the one that broke. It feeds power to critical systems such as air circulation and fire pumps.
There are contingency plans for some of those systems, such as using medical gas tanks and portable suction systems.
The hospital is working on a short-term solution for the air flow system, and in the interim will replace the panel that failed, but Kavia didn't know when that would happen.
The health region has not yet tallied the cost of repairs.
A total of 37 surgeries postponed Tuesday and Wednesday were expected to be rescheduled over the course of the next week or so, said Jackie Mann, SHR vice-president of health services.
Operating rooms were running again Wednesday for emergency surgeries, and surgeries scheduled for Thursday were expected to go ahead as planned.
Grant Miller, the pediatric surgeon at RUH, said the cancelled surgeries have been hard on three of his young patients. They were waiting in the hospital for urgent, but not emergency, procedures.
"For this one boy and his family, it's been particularly difficult having to wait," Miller said.
"This one patient in particular, he's ill, he needs a diagnosis — and surgery is part of that — and then treatment to follow. And so everything is on hold now until we get him into the operating room."
Staff dealt well with the complications that arose after the power outage, said Miller, but they'd like to be able to take more pride in the hospital.
The cleanliness and maintenance at RUH has been neglected over the years, and "now we're starting to see the results," he said.
He doesn't know for certain if the maintenance and cleanliness of the facility puts patients more at risk of infections, but he worries about it, he said.
"I still feel the hospital should set the standard, but at least if (it doesn't) set the standard, it should be at least as clean as I would keep my home," said Miller.
"If sink taps are broken in my house, I get them fixed. But here, we just kind of leave them."
