Grod, thank you for your reply. I am not sure what additional information may be of help here, but I will try to answer your questions.With that additional information I feel compelled to retract my initial response and admit that I don't have any constructive ideas other than, perhaps, therapy. Anonymous and Ms. Anonymous sound like warm, involved parents. He does sound like he may have impulse control issues that therapy might help with, though. His behavior seems even more anomalous in light of what anonymous says, although it does remind me of one of my sisters. I didn't learn until fairly recently that the reason she was so fucked up was that she was generally fucked up. Which is to say, he may have a drug problem.
Cold, demanding, judgmental, and overbearing are about the furthest thing from a description of my wife and I that I can imagine. Until our youngest turned ten, one of us was home full-time so the kids would have someone to pick them up from school, serve as room mother or father for their classes, volunteer for school functions, cheer them at any sport they wished to participate in, et cetera. Our only house rule that is written in stone is: When you go out, we have to know who you're with, where you're going, and when you'll be home. We provide all the kids cell phones so they can call or text us if they need something (and vice versa). We buy them each cars when they turn 16 and pay the insurance as long as their grades are good. One of our older kids (20) just moved into his first apartment, and we bought all the household supplies we thought he might need and filled his refrigerator and cupboards with food.
We live in a major metropolitan area, in a middle-class suburb, and he has a part-time job, several friends to hang out with after work who like to come to our house, who call my wife "mom" and me "dad" since they're here so much, so there's no lack of time with his peers (all of whom are still in school, doing well, and a few who are carrying 4.0 GPA).
We've never had any issues like this with any of our other kids, and we're just completely at a loss as to what we can do to help this one become a trustworthy, responsible adult.
I disagree with you that he shouldn't respect authority. An unquestioning obedience to authority is not what we hope to engender, but since we live in an ostensibly civilized society with rules and laws, and consequences for flouting them, we would really prefer not to have one of our children in prison because he doesn't think the rules apply to him, and for whatever reason this is the path that this child has chosen. He already has a police record (breaking curfew, truancy, and a brief run-in with gang membership in 9th grade), and seems totally unable to think beyond the next five minutes in order to envision the consequences of his actions.
I hope this was helpful in illuminating some more of what we're dealing with. Thank you.

Sky Of Love Pt.21 Reviews
Still their stories.Chapter 1 will start next chapter.
I looked back to see my best friend,Nozumu,running towards me.
"Yo,Nozumu.",I said.We walked together to school,talking about stuff,when he suddenly bought up some wierd subject.
"Hey,you know theres this real cute girl in class 3-A.",Nozumu said.
"For real?So,what?You like her or something?",I asked.
"I don't know.I do know her name is Mika.",he said.
"Mika.",I softly repeated with a nod.
"So,got any chick on your mind other than Saki?",he asked.
"No.",I said.
Saki,my girlfriend.She went to another school,but she personally came to me and asked me out.She was really hot,so I said sure.Now she's my girlfriend,and has been it for a couple of months.
Yet,for some odd reason,I could that it was about to change.
"So,let's get back to clas for the rest of free time.I'm bored here.",I told the guys.We were outside,close to the library.
"Fine,fine.",he said.
"Alright,let's go.Oh,wait.My sis told me to find some book for her at the library.I'll catch up with you guys in a moment.",I told them.They gave me nod and walked off.I ran to the library and went though the bookshelves impatiently.
Dang onee-chan.Having me go through the trouble to find some dumb cook book.Why not just go buy one?!
My cell suddenly started to ring and I took it,flipping it open.
"Hello?",I answered.
"Hiro,got the book,right?",my sis,Minako,asked me
"Yeah,yeah,I'm getting it.If I can't find it,though,just go buy one.",I told her.
"Find,but there may be chances there,so just find it.",she told me.I nodded as I looked around.
We hung up,and I noticed a small cook book and set my cell down on a shelf reaching for it.
"Oi,Hiro,we're tired of waiting for you.",Nozumu called.I sighed and walked out towards him.
"I thought I said to just go ahead.",I said as we left.
"Yeah,but I don't leave an amigo behind,amigo.",he said.I smirked and pushed him as we walked to class.
We talked and played around with eachother as we walked to class.Suddenly,Nozumu gave a smile and walked ahead of us to a girl.
He asked her to exchange numbers.I stared at the girl,as she stared wide-eyed at him.
It was amusing.She looked scared.It made me laugh.
I got distracted by the guys who stared to pucnh at me.I punched back and we laughed,when suddenly something bumped into me
I turned around,no longer wearing a smile,to see the girl.
She was the Mika girl.She had to be since Nozumu went straight up to her.Pus,I recognized her from class 3-A.
Her hair was long,dark,plain,especially with the bangs.Her eyes were slightly dark.
She was actually very beautiful.Way too beautiful.
"G-gomenasai.",she said and bowed her head.I watched as she ran away,and couldn't help but blush some.
But I shook my head forgetting it quickly,and went back to playing with the guys.
I sighed as I looked around the classroom one last time.
"You sure you can't find it?",Nozumu asked.
"I know I had my cell today.Wait,give me your phone again.",I told him.
"Again.",he muttered.I just motioned for him to hurry.No way was I going to suddenly lose my phone before spring break.Plus,Saki would freak if she found out I lost the little bear guy on my phone.
I call my phone,and after two or three rings,somebody picked up.
"Hello?",a girl's voice answered.
"Hello?Ah,finally.Looks like you found my phone.",I told her relieved.
"Who is this?",she asked.
"The owner of the phone you're talking through right now.Here,where are you,I'll come pick up my phone.",I told her.
"I'm at the school's library.",she quickly said.I smiled and nodded.
"Oh,I thought it'd be there.I'm coming right now.",I told her.
"How about I just leave it by my favorite shelf,because I was kinda about to leave.",she said.I nodded to myself.
"Oh,ok.Which shelf?",I asked.
"It's on the second book case,third shelf,by a book called Sky.",she said.
Sky?I think I've seen that book around there.
"Oh,ok.Ariagatou.",I said and hung up.
"Looks like I found it.Go ahead and leave.Bye.",I told him and grabbed my bag running off.
I came to a stop in front of the library,finally.It took so long just to get to the freaking library from our class.
I went to walk ahead,but then I noticed her.
She sat there,crouched over something.She stood up straight,and noticed she was carrying the little teddy bear.
The one Saki gave me.So,she was hte one who picked up my phone.
Then I noticed she was sewing him.The part where I mistakely ripped.
I watched her,as she narrowed her eyes in concentration as she fixed him.Suddenly,she jumped and her finger went to her lip.I took a step foward,but she kept working.
Wow,first time I saw a girl so concentrated on that.I lived back at home with two-always-working parents,and a garage-working sis because of her little car shop store to fix cars.
So,this was a surprise.
She stood up and walked to a bookshelf with a book,that I noticed was called Sky.
I watched her as she set the book down,and placed the cell beside it.I smiled myself,when she smiled and petted the bear's head with her finger.
She got her stuff,and then ran quickly out.
I entered and ran up to my cell,grabbing it.I looked at the bear,to see it was all fixed up.
"Mika.",was the word that escaped my mouth.
It was wierd how me and Mika started off.She seemed scared of me when she found out I wasnt exactly who she thought I was.
Yet,we progressed.And it went faster than I expected.
And so,we bcame girlfriend and boyfriend.I was very protective of her,and I loved every moment I was with her.
I'm glad to see she still lives on strong,even with me no longer beside her.

I feel better in understanding universe and physics from this dialogue.
I have a new question:
Suppose that we got a new spectrum picture from a star, and that picture shows several dark lines with shift, and we speculate the object might be moving very fast but do not know the distance. Now from that shift pattern can we tell if it comes from space expansion or local motion ?
I'm glad to know you found it helpful!
The answer is no. One cannot tell just from the shift pattern whether it is Doppler from local motion or stretch-out redshift from the whole history of expansion during the light's travel time.
In fact one can do a complicated mathematical analysis involving a chain of overlapping patches---it's ridiculous but one can do it---so there might be a million observers between you and the object---and actually analyse cosmological redshift in terms of a million little Doppler shifts. But it is a clumsy and useless way to think about it.
Quote by
Regarding the distance advanced by light in expanding universe , I did some calculation to get the result:
D(T)\ = {c \over r} (\left( 1 + {r*dt} \right)^{T \over dt} -1)
Taking the limit dt going to 0,
D(T)\ = {c \over r} (e^{rT} -1)
D(T): distance advanced by light during period T.
c: speed of light
T: time from emission to present.
r : space expansion rate 1/140 % per million.
dt: the arbitrary small time intervals in T.
** In case r goes to 0, D(T) goes to c*T as expected.
I got this formula by adding each light path segment advanced for each dt, that is after the last dt, the D0 (distance advanced of the last dt) is D1=c*dt*(1+r*dt), and the 2nd last one D2=c*(1+r*dt)^2, and so on .. Dn=c*(1+r*dt)^n. From summing D1 D2 ..Dn, I got above formula.
I do not want to use the word speed to avoid confusion, but it is just the distance of light advanced after a period T.
I'm impressed. I haven't examined this closely enough to guarantee it but I think it should give approximately right answers if it is used over short enough distances that the rate r does not change significantly during the light's travel time.
When I quote this figure of 1/140 of a percent, what I mean is that this is the
percentage rate of distance expansion. It has been larger in the past.
Vakkim, do you know the Hubble time? 1/H where H is the current value of the Hubble rate?
Have you ever calculated the Hubble time for yourself? I think you should, because you understand calculation, if you have not already.
What value of the Hubble rate do you like to use? I use 71 km/sec per Megaparsec.
Suppose I put this into google
"1/(71 km/s per megaparsec)"
What google gives me back is 13.772 billion years. I could round that off and say the Hubble time is 14 billion years.
Saying "1/140 of a percent per million years" is just a disguised form of this.
If the Hubble time (1/H) is 14 billion years, then the Hubble rate itself (H = 1/(1/H)) is 1/(14 billion years)
That is the same as 1/14 per billion years.
That is the same as 1/14000 per million years.
That is the same as 1/140 of one percent per million years.
In other words having calculated the Hubble time we could say the rate was "1/137.72 of a percent per million years", except that would be overly precise and we round off to two significant figures and say 1/140.
I expect this may be self-evident to you but want to make sure we know where the figure comes from, and that it gradually changes over time.

replaced a strand from blue nile that were stolen a few years ago. This strand was identical in size, color, and quality. I tried a strand from another online retailer and had to send them back because they didn't compare to the strand from blue nile
Pearl perfection.
Last year, for our wedding anniversary, my husband gave me 2 bracelets in Akoya Cultured pearls. To my biggest surprise, I received this beautiful strand for this years anniversary. It is a perfect match and my son's fiance asked if she could wear the set for their wedding in August this year. That was a great compliment to me and my husband.
It was the right choice for me. It made a very nice Valentine's Day gift for my wife.
She loved them.
I got this strand of pearls and some earings for my wife for our anniversary and she loved them.
I gave this to my Fiancee for her Bridal Shower. She loved it! She is already talking about wearing them to every event and even to work. They are versatile enough for everyday or for more elegant affairs.
It was love at first sight!
Perfect uniform sizing and color. No visible flaws and the weight of the strand feels VERY substantial. Absolutely beautiful pearls AND fancy presentation case.
Amazing quality & price
These pearls were absolutely stunning, very lustrous and uniform in size/color. I was incredibly impressed at the value Blue Nile provided as I priced similar pearls at local jewelry stores and they were almost 50% more expensive. I highly recommend purchasing your pearls through Blue Nile.
"She loved these pearls."
The pearls where a gift for my wife......she loved them.... the serve was fast and i am very pleased overall.
"She loved 'em!"
Wonderful pearls. They are tied a little too tight, which requires adjusting for them to look correctly.
The perfect wedding dress accessory
This pearl necklace is absolutely sensational. I gave it to my fiance as her wedding present and they were a beautiful match with her wedding dress on the big day! There was no better value on the market for high end pearls than these and the ease of ordering on Blue Nile is second to none. If you want the perfect string of pearls for every occasion, you've found them.
Great Value for the price
I bought the necklace and matching earrings for my wife. She loves them. Color and luster is better than similarly priced pearls at the retail stores. Only flaw would be that the strands are tied too tight causing slight "kink" in the strand. Blue nile packaging was great and you actually save more by not paying tax and 2-day shipping. Definite recommendation.
Great quality for reasonable price.
Excellent quality for a reasonable price. Significantly nicer than what I found in local jewelry stores.
she loved the pearl neclace
quality very good. i buy special items from blue nile because of past expierence.
I have checked with one of my friend who knows the quality and price of pearls and the answer is very good. I like them.
Great buying experience and the helpful hints and education on the web site made it easy for me.
My wife was thrilled and suprised with the pearls. The service and quality from Blue Nile was outstanding
She love the pearls
Very beautiful. The package arrived as promised and we love the necklace.
5th thing bought from Blue Nile, another good experience!
I would actually do 4.5 stars if that was an option. The ONLY issue was that the knotting between the pearls is so strong that sometimes they take some adjusting to lay right. Otherwise customer service is 5 stars as well as beauty and value. I would buy them again.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The Texas Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies are kicking off the 9th annual Click It or Ticket campaign and adult back seat riders could get a ticket if they're not buckled up.
The safety belt enforcement campaign takes place May 24th through June 6th. Transportation officials say state laws enacted in 2009 could result in more citations this year if drivers don't follow the new safety belt laws.
For the first time, all passengers in the back seat now must be buckled up, and children younger than 8-years-old have to ride in a child safety seat or booster seat unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches.
Fines range from $25 to $250 plus court costs.

The New York Guitar Festival's four-show series pairs classic silent films with new scores composed and performed by intrepid fretsmen. Folk legend David Bromberg is an inspired choice for Charlie Chaplin's comedy The Immigrant, a timely (it's also known as Broke) 1917 short featuring the Tramp in chaotic steamship transit. Pathos and comedy mix in Chaplin's 1921 hit, The Kid; Marc Ribot should have no problem navigating, as he's performed so much Tom Waits in the past.

PC |Review
ACE Team's creative use of story telling, game play and design all crammed into Valve's Source engine is truly a product that pushes video games ever closer to an art form. Zeno Clash is so bizarre and brutal that it is one of the most beautiful games made by any independent developer. The game redesigns the first person shooter genre from the run and gun type to the more up close and personal melee combat. It's a nightmarish paradise mixed with a fantasy reality. This game is so cunning that it breathes life into the make-believe.
The story takes place in a fictional world called Zenozoik, and begins in a town called Halstedom. The world is so tough and brutal that it almost resembles a Mad Max meets prehistoric times. The opening sequence shows Ghat (Zeno Clash's protagonist) recovering from an explosion, which he set off to kill his single parent, Father-Mother. The player guides Ghat through a series of environments. He is forced to fight and elude his brothers, sisters and hired assassins who are seeking to kill him. Through his journey, a female companion accompanies him named Deadra.
The story is what really stands out over many other games. For anyone who has had the chance to study Joseph Campbell's "Heroic Arc Theory" will notice the game closely follows Campbell's story progression. A protagonist is introduced, he leaves his home to master his technique, he returns home, he is called to action and he is either rejoiced as a hero or shunned as a villain. It almost plays out like a short novel or an iconic film. There is a lot of emphasis placed on the characters and archetypes. For example, there are two characters, Metamoq and Golem who share the same positions as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda to Luke Skywalker (Characters from Star Wars) respectively. Both Metamoq and Golem teach Ghat physical combat as well as philosophical reasoning, and from his experiences he learns the beauty and brutality of the world. Also, there are no redundancies in enemies. All the enemies have their own story. The plot is incredibly well done.
The story is the motivation to how the game plays. Set in a prehistoric bizarre world players rely heavily on melee combat. Players string together a series of jabs, kicks, super punches, blocks and dodges to deliver a clever combat system. Aside from that, there are a handful of different weapons that have their own strengths and weaknesses. My one plight with the melee combat is that players will find it difficult to judge the approximate distance required to successfully land punches and kicks. Many times players will miss their targets, which will often result in a thorough beat down and sometimes death.
Also, if you're not a fan of the keyboard and mouse then the developers have allowed players to use a controller, which brings the console to the PC. Although the controller is a nice touch, turning and strafing is a bit hard to master. The keyboard and mouse reigns supreme for this game.
Similarly, the art design is entirely appropriate to the theme. You'll guide Ghat through a bizarre world that is filled with color and emotion. The forests are lush with green, the deserts are desolate and the end of the world is stark and evil. Not to mention, character design is uniquely beautiful and the detail and outlines are smooth.
The voice acting, musical composition and in game sounds are done very well. The actors speak with diction and tone and you'll never be bored by there speech. Although the voice acting is done well, the language deters from the style of the game. The developers have added unique jargon like 'Kak' and 'Tiff', but overall the characters speak very properly for such a harsh world. I would expect more of a caveman type language with more emphasis on broken speech patterns and more use of slang and specific jargon. On the other hand, the musical composition and the battle sounds are well thought out and add to a believable experience.
Finally, many gamers will find the game to be fairly short, which will last about five hours. Although the game is fairly short, the game delivers a rich story that is appropriate to the length. The game is intended for a more mature audience, but I find this game would be appealing for teenagers just as well as adults. Combined with beautiful graphics, well thought out art design and a combat system that is challenging, this game is well worth its $20 price tag.
The story is by far one of a kind, the art is beautiful, graphics are awesome, use of either controller or keyboard and mouse and a plethora of video options
|How does our scoring system work?
The combat system is well done and the story calls for different combat situations, but being restricted to only fighting brings the game down a bit.
The musical composition is done well, the in game sound is appropriate, but the use of language could have been used more creatively.
Players will find the story rich and innovating, but the game stands on that alone. There are challenges and achievements to play afterwards, but they hardly add to the replay of the game
The story is awesome, the graphics are beautiful and art direction is extremely creative. This game joins the upper echelon ranks of independent creativity.
Really educational thanks, I reckon your current followers may well want even more well written content of the character continue the excellent do the job.
An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you ought to publish more about this subject matter, it might not be a taboo matter but usually folks don't speak about such topics. To the next! Kind regards!!

Six reasons to be excited about the 2013 RoboCop remake
#3 We're giving Joel Kinnaman a chance
He was convincingly dark and edgy in 'The Killing'. And he has the chops to meet the challenges of a half-dead cop turned cyborg. He's also right on board with Padilha's vision of a more thoughtful version that focuses on the transition. He said: 'RoboCop is going to be a lot more human. The first movie is one of my favorite movies. I love it. Of course, Verhoeven has that very special tone, and it's not going to have that tone. It's a re-imagination of it. There's a lot of stuff from the original. There are some details and throwbacks, but this version is a much better acting piece, for Alex Murphy and especially when he is RoboCop. It's much more challenging.'

The family who owns the house told NBC Right Now they were shocked to have neighbors knock on their door and tell them about flames coming from their backyard. Firefighters could not save the garage or the Thunderbird car that was inside.

An open letter to the BBC by Maddy Fry
Dear BBC,
It can't have escaped you attention that not everyone is getting into the Olympic Spirit. In particular, those of us with the misfortune to be in the capital over the next two weeks often see it as garish, disruptive and expensive, making our routes to work even more cumbersome. However, if your coverage of the Jubilee earlier in the year is anything to go by, the views of anyone who is against London 2012 won't be given much air time.
It's already been commented on how the BBC's coverage of the Jubilee was little more than sycophantic drivel. The irony was also that the Telegraph reported the policy adopted by the director of the BBC documentary 'The Queen's Diamond Jubilee' of not interviewing anyone that might have a bad word to say about the monarchy. It also took a direct appeal to Lord Patten from the anti-royalist group Republic to let them have a mere seven-minute slot on the Today Programme, compared with the hours of inane, sentimental treacle we all had to endure about the band of unelected incompetents that serve as our heads of state.
Less surprisingly, the Guardian was responsible for breaking the appalling story of how jobseekers were made to sleep rough before working gruelling unpaid shifts on the Jubilee pageant. In comparison, the BBC's coverage was widely thought to be just fawning, repetitive nonsense, with even staunch monarchists denouncing it as tedious. In so doing, at a time when it is needed the most the BBC has unofficially delegated the more interesting, investigative strands of its journalism to other areas of the British media.
And it looks like coverage of the Olympics won't be that different. The BBC so far has had little to say on the campaign waged by the group Carpenters Against Regeneration Plans (CARP), who have been protesting against the planned demolition, and therefore forcible re-housing, of the group of houses known as the Carpenters Estate in Stratford, East London. The group are outraged that such a decision was taken by Newham Council without residents' prior warning or consent. However, perhaps the BBC's silence isn't surprising given that the ire of the area's occupants was also raised by permission being granted to the BBC and Al-Jazeera to use two residential towers as broadcasting venues (again, without the consent of those who happen to be, well, living there).
In the same vein, landlords overseeing properties near the Olympic games have been jacking up rental rates at short notice, forcing many tenants out, in the hope of benefiting from increased demand for housing in the East End during London 2012. The BBC has admittedly given some space to the issue. But once again, it was the Guardian that stepped in as a cheerleader for two junior doctors who waged a legal case against a landlord who chose to alert them out of the blue that their rental rate would double during the games.
On a wide scale, the massive corporate sponsorship of the games and the heavy militarisation of the capital has made many Londoners feel alienated from their own city. Similarly, my teeth grind over the fact that I'm forced to hear Boris Johnson's voice coming out of every speaker in every station, every day. It's made worse that a man who always claimed to be a cheerleader for cyclists is overseeing an event that disallows them from riding in many of the city's lanes, which have suddenly been designated as for Olympic athletes only – even if, as this article points out, they're the safest places for cyclists to be.
BBC coverage was also scant of the recent protest walk from Oxleas Woods to Blackheath Common in Southeast London by people objecting to the illegal closing off of public green spaces, as well as the building of missile sites supposedly for the sake of Olympic security. Compared with the cheerleading and forced jollity of the vast majority of the BBC's coverage so far, the reality of the Olympics is that it's left many wondering who the games will actually benefit.
But what's even more worrying is the wider issue of the BBC refusing to act in the public's interest. The fear of getting your wings clipped, by the government or other vested interests, has made you toothless as an organisation, turning much of the BBC's output into bland, uncontroversial fluff, churned out for an audience you believe doesn't wish to be challenged. It's a sad situation when state media starts to neuter itself.

Meet Deadmau5′s Twitter Collaborator: Chris James
It may seem like a distant fever dream to get the chance to collaborate with your favorite artist, but for musician Chris James, all it took was a couple of tweets.
Back in March, Deadmau5 — a.k.a. Joel Zimmerman — was working on a new song inspired by the Ray Bradbury story "The Veldt." In the tale, a pair of children become so enamored of their digital nursery — one that creates a virtual reality based on what the inhabitants imagine — that they sacrifice their parents to the beasts that reside in an imagined African veldt in order to stay there forever. Zimmerman was livetweeting and streaming the writing process, and James, a fan of the Bradbury story, whipped up some lyrics and sent them along to the musician via Twitter.
Zimmerman liked the words that James had penned, and he incorporated them into the song, which is now available on The Veldt EP. The pair were nominated for an O Music Award for Most Extreme Fan Outreach, so we decided to reach out to James and find out more about the collaboration. Check out our Q&A below:
So you got to collaborate with Deadmau5 because of Twitter. How did that happen?
I was really moved by the short story called 'The Veldt' by Ray Bradbury about this house full of technology and how these kids fall in love with it basically and they choose the technology over their parents. That's just a crazy concept and I heard Joel's composition and I was super drawn to it and it just came out naturally. It was just one of those things where inspiration struck and I just went with it and knew it was a great idea to send it to him.
So after you saw the tweet that he was working on the song, how long did it take you to answer with the lyrics?
I heard the song and it took me about an hour. I just got in my makeshift studio and started plowing away at the vocals and then it came out.
Had you read the story before Deadmau5 tweeted that he was writing a song about it?
I read it before. It was cool because I don't get a lot of time to read and I had come across that short story and it's such a cool story. So it was great when he put the title on there, I already knew it. So I reread the story and started writing the lyrics. I wanted to explain the feelings that the children had.
Had you read any other Ray Bradbury stories? Sadly, he just died.
Yeah, that's horrible, horrible news. The first time I perform that song live I'm going to dedicate it to him. But I'm going to — when I get more time I'm going to brush up on more of his novels.
Were you pretty surprised when Deadmau5 answered you? What chance did you think you had that he would listen to your lyrics?
Slim to none. I'm very fortunate to have musicians in my family that are stars as well and I know how hard it is to get to them if I was a fan. My chances were slim to none. I stayed up at a very, very late hour knowing that there wouldn't be that many viewers at that time — and I did it on purpose. I was like, 'I'm going to tweet him twice, hopefully he gets annoyed by it and clicks it.' I didn't want to let a good vocal go to waste. I knew he would like it if he listened to it. I was actually watching his stream live when he decided to click on it and I got to see his reaction firsthand. I'm excited the fans were rooting for him to click on the link because if not it probably would have never happened.
You said you had some musicians in your family?
I'm related to Ryan Daly, he's in a band called Parade of Lights and he's done very, very well in the music industry. He's such an inspiration to me. We learned the craft together. Music and film are the only two things that I'm good at.
So are you a full-time musician?
Yes, I am. I've been doing music my whole life. I started playing drums when I was eight as well as singing, and then ever since then I've just been writing. I was writing songs for other people, then I was in a band for a while called The Year. I found my love for dance music randomly and Joel — I enjoyed all of Joel's compositions because he's definitely unique in his own way. I like people who remain themselves, and I think tapping into that honest vein is the best thing you can do, because everyone will know through your music if you're being honest. If you're trying to force something, I think everyone will see through that.
How has this collaboration affected your career?
It has definitely put some wheels on my career. I was very comfortable with writing songs for other people. Being in the studio so much with other artists, they would tell me, 'Chris, you have to sing. You have to do more music. People have to hear what you do. You should take a break from writing for other people and do this yourself.' So that's what happened that night. I'm writing my new EP. I'm starting my career as a DJ and producer and bringing something new to the table and doing vocals on all of my own productions.

when I was installing content center after I already installed IV2013 it told me I needed to install vault basic. Do I really need to have it installed? We have never used it in the 10+ years we have been using inventor. I ask this because my co-worker does not have it installed and he can use content center and my I.T. guy came down and asked why I have it installed.
I do not believe it is needed if you load Desktop Content Center libraries.
Please use .Accept as Solution &Kudos to further enhance the value of these forums. Thank you!
As long as you have the CC files located where you or anyone else can access them (such as on a main server), you can use them without Vault. I've never done such but it should be possible.
Look into using Vault, it can be a huge time saver and it can also save your life as far as files go. Copy Design is a huge advantage that I've used numerous times. Vault Workgroups adds in revision control if that's needed. I swear by Vault (I know, some people swear at it).
Jim, I both swear by it and at it... multiple times on the same day!

Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity that receives federal financial assistance. 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a).
Consistent with the requirements of Title IX, Virginia Tech's policies prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender
Virginia Tech receives federal financial assistance in many forms, including grants from federal agencies for faculty research. Failing to comply with Title IX or other federal civil rights requirements can result in the termination of all or part of a university's federal funding, including awards for faculty research.
Educational institutions are required to provide women and men in all disciplines, including science, technology, engineering and mathematics, comparable resources, support, and promotional opportunities.
Title IX's protection is not limited to women, but protects the rights of both women and men. Title IX requires that males and females receive fair and equal treatment in all areas of education, including athletics.
Other areas that fall within the scope of Title IX include:
In accordance with Title IX regulations, the University has designated Pamela White, Director, Compliance and Conflict Resolution, as the University's Title IX Coordinator. She is responsible for monitoring compliance with these regulations. Questions regarding Title IX, as well as concerns and complaints of non-compliance, may be directed to her
The University has also designated Dr. Frank Shushok, Associate Vice President, Student Affairs, as the Deputy Title IX Coordinator for Student Sexual Misconduct. He is responsible for receiving complaints of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, sexual violence or other sexual misconduct, against University students.
This may be one of the most widely held misconceptions about Title IX. Athletics are not the only component of academic life governed by Title IX. Other areas that fall within the scope of Title IX include:
Title IX also prohibits sexual harassment, which includes sexual assault and sexual violence. Additional information regarding what behaviors may constitute sexual harassment and other forms of sexual misconduct is available at http://www.hr.vt.edu/oea/harassment/index.html.
Title IX creates parity in athletics, as well as other educational opportunities and experiences for men and women. Title IX does not require schools to cut men's athletic programs. Each school determines how it will comply with Title IX regulations.
While Title IX protects the rights of women, Title IX also serves to protect the rights of men. Title IX requires that males and females receive fair and equal treatment in all areas of education.
Title IX specifically allows for, or has been interpreted to allow for, single-sex programs in a number of categories. Included among those are: religious schools, traditional men's/women's colleges, social fraternities/sororities, youth service organizations such as, The Boy/Girl Scouts of America, and beauty pageants.
The under-representation of women in science, medicine, and engineering may violate Title IX. Educational institutions are required to provide women in these disciplines resources, support, and promotional opportunities comparable to their male colleagues.
The U.S. Supreme Court has broadened the interpretation of Title IX to protect from retaliation whistle-blowers who accuse educational institutions of sex discrimination. The court is of the opinion that reporting incidents of discrimination is integral to Title IX enforcement and would be discouraged if retaliation against those who report it goes unpunished
Failure to comply with Title IX can include the termination of all or part of a university's federal funding. This includes grants, subsidies, and other program funds from the federal government. In addition to the loss of federal funds, universities may be sued by those seeking redress for violations of Title IX. It is essential that institutions receiving federal financial assistances operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. To ensure the University's compliance with the law, adherence to Title IX regulations is everyone's responsibility.
The United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is in charge of enforcing Title IX. Information about OCR can be found at www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/index.html.
Any concerns about discrimination or harassment on the basis of gender involving a student may be brought to the Virginia Tech deputy Title IX coordinator or the Title IX coordinator.
As outlined in the Virginia Tech Women's Center's Stop Abuse Site:
Sexual Harassment is prohibited under University Policy 1025 and the Student Code of Conduct.
These policies apply to all students, including undergraduate and graduate students and students who attend classes on the Blacksburg campus, a satellite campus, or the virtual campus. Complaints of student sexual misconduct are addressed by The Office of Student Conduct and are governed by the Hokie Handbook, which may be found at www.hokiehandbook.vt.edu.
Reports of sexual misconduct and sexual harassment by a Virginia Tech student may be filed with the deputy Title IX coordinator or the Student Conduct Office by any person, including both those affiliated and those not affiliated with Virginia Tech. Reports of all other abusive conduct by a Virginia Tech student can be filed with the Student Conduct Office.
Concerns about sexual harassment alleged to have been committed by a Virginia Tech employee should be promptly brought to the attention of the Office for Equity and Access by any person, including both those affiliated and those not affiliated with Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech employees who believe they may have been subjected to harassment or discrimination in the workplace should contact the Office for Equity and Access to learn what options are available to them.
Retaliation against anyone who raises concerns of harassment or discrimination is a violation of law and Virginia Tech policy.
Any member of the university community who becomes aware of possible sexual harassment or sexual assault of students should promptly contact the deputy Title IX coordinator to discuss the matter.
In particular, Virginia Tech faculty members, supervisors, student affairs staff and anyone else employed by Virginia Tech who has supervisory, administrative, and instructional or advising responsibilities must notify the deputy Title IX coordinator immediately about matters of possible sexual assault or sexual harassment.
All Virginia Tech resources listed on this page are committed to preserving a student's privacy. In certain situations, though, some information might need to be shared with other university departments in order to assist the student, to provide for his or her safety, and/or provide for the safety of the campus community. The exceptions are that Cook Counseling Center and Schiffert Health Center can provide a higher level of confidentiality to students seeking their services.

In a word, yes.
In a mere matter of weeks, the area around our eyes was noticeably lighter and had decreased in puffiness significantly. Our under-eye area feels so hydrated, thanks to ingredients like meadowfoam seed oil (to nourish the skin), jojoba seed oil (to restore suppleness) and moisturizing Vitamin E. You'll even find anti-inflammatory-enhancing beeswax, soothing chamomile oil, toning lemon peel oil and calming rosewater within the formula.
But what we really love about it? The inspiration behind this luxurious eye cream! The first cream of the 2nd century A.D. inspired the creators of Fresh to come up with it. It's hand-blended in a European monastery to preserve the fragile ingredients and its rich history. How cool is that?
We will caution you that Creme Ancienne doesn't come cheap … it retails for $95. But if you're looking to hydrate the under-eye area like never before, this is the eye cream that can't be beat!
Fresh Creme Ancienne Eye Cream is available at fresh.com.
Truth be told, we couldn't have started using these cleansing pads at a better time. Our skin has been extremely temperamental as of late, with flareups occurring more than they did in our teenage years. (Trust us, we're less than thrilled with this turn of events.) In any case, the fact that these cleansing pads are formulated with salicylic acid definitely seemed like a blessing in disguise.
So we started using these pads every night before bed (and sometimes twice a day, if we were good and went to the gym). At first, we didn't notice anything happening to the unsightly bumps, blemishes and red patches on our face. But, after about a week, we definitely started seeing a noticeable difference in our skin.
The blemishes were disappearing right before our eyes! What had been bright red pimples were now on their last legs. Our skin even felt softer and smoother than it had in weeks, finally returning to the baby-soft quality it usually sports.
Now, these pads do have a medicinal scent, thanks to the salicylic acid. But if you can get past that, they are most definitely worth investing in! Your skin will be clearer than ever before.
Yes to Tomatoes Deep Cleansing Facial Pads are $7.99 for a pack of 50 at drugstore.com.
So I got over my fears and slathered this leave-on nighttime moisturizer all over my skin. Skin, I'll have you know, that was dry, breaking out and far from its beautiful best.
Well, imagine my surprise and delight when, in just one treatment, my skin already looked a MILLION times better. When I woke up the next morning, the dryness was gone and the pimples were fading. I felt like I was looking at a different face from the night before - and the results have only improved in the few weeks I've been testing it out. I'm glowing, radiant and look as if I've gotten a facial or (gasp!) had work done.
Not to mention, I absolutely love the formula. The gel-like consistency has a touch of shimmer to it, so it's like there's a party in my apartment every night before bed. Thanks to glycolic acid that permeates the upper layers of the skin's surface and increases natural exfoliation, it works with the body's nightly changes to smooth skin in just one week. This moisturizer actually works as well as a professional light chemical peel.
You'll also find humectants like glycerin and glycol, Pal-KTTKS (Regenerist's proprietary, signature anti-aging penta-peptide) and skin soothers like pro-vitamin B5 and allantoin within the formula.
What all this boils down to? At the end of the day, I'm reaching for my Olay.
Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir retails for $24.99. Check olay.com for retail information.

Frequent sessions at a Kansas City fitness center is a smart idea if you're planning to become fit and healthy. Understand that fitness in Kansas City won't just mean eating healthy foods or taking food supplements. A sound body also needs an adequate amount of physical activity.
Some people fail to understand the importance of regular exercise. While eating healthy foods and taking supplements can also help you stay healthy, it is not enough. Here are the reasons why Kansas City fitness should include proper exercise routines.
For you to lose weight and also have a well-shaped physique, you need to get some muscle training, weight lifting, or other resistance exercises. This type of exercise tones and develops the muscles, ligaments, and bones. It can also help to promote good posture which will also help you feel better about yourself.
The body was created to be in motion and for that reason craves physical activity. Without frequent exercise, the body will lose its stamina. With endurance and aerobic exercises, the body is able to keep the energy levels consistently flowing. Such exercises include jogging, power walking, bicycling, hiking, swimming, and other related exercises.
When your body becomes conditioned through regular endurance training, it will be easier to use your energy efficiently and tolerate just about any physical activity for a longer period of time. You'll also discover that you aren't getting tired as easily.
Human bodies require enough regular exercise to keep all internal organs working properly, in the circulatory system. By working out, you decrease the risk of deadly diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and other related diseases. Frequent exercise also keeps you looking younger than your age. Using a proper Kansas City fitness routine, you'll definitely hold off your aging.
Those who fail to exercise have a greater tendency in becoming obese. Indeed, people's dietary habits today are too much for the body to take. Therefore, many folks become overweight. If you expect to have a healthy trim shape, then it's wise to start getting your workouts at the gym. You may even have your own personal trainer to work with you in accomplishing your weight loss goals.
People who usually complain of back aches or posture issues probably do not exercise. Physical workouts maintain your flexiblility. It can also help fix your posture. So long as you keep your regular exercise routine, you'll definitely have more flexibility and prevent common muscle and posture problems.
Once you set out to include exercise in your Kansas City fitness plan, you will enjoy many untold benefits. Exercise minimizes depression, prevents stress, lifts up the spirits and helps you sleep well. In fact, delaying the aging process is one big reason to celebrate life.

Schedule a system startup time
It is possible to schedule a startup time in the energy saver panel in Panther (10.3). Check it out.Indeed, this has made a comeback with Panther.
Anyone know what Unix-y goodness is set to enable these actions to again take place? What cron tasks, etc. are updated to initiate the sleep/shutdown/startup actions?

Heick grew up in Kentucky and went to the University of Cincinnati before enlisting in the Navy during World War II. Since the Navy needed photographers, Heick, though having little experience as a photographer, bought a Kodak manual, read it, and signed up the next day as a photographer. He served as a naval intelligence photographer in the Pacific. After the war, Heick moved to San Francisco where he worked in landscaping and studied at the California School of Fine Arts (now San Francisco Art Institute) in his spare time. He befriended Imogen Cunningham and Dorothea Lange and photographed rigorously in the photo department that was founded by Ansel Adams and Minor White.
Heick's other passion was filmmaking. At California School of Fine Arts (CSFA), Heick collaborated with Sidney Peterson on his pioneering avant-garde film projects and later ventured to Seattle as the cinematographer for Orbit Films with Peterson and Douglas McAgey. He went on to work as a documentary filmmaker for Bechtel Corporation, filming and photographing Bechtel's work in South America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and Indonesia. During this time he was still shooting with his still camera, capturing enduring images of indigenous peoples in these remote areas of the globe.
Mixing filmmaking, photography, and anthropology, Heick served as director and chief cinematographer for the Anthropology Department at the University of California at Berkeley on an American Indian project supported by the National Science Foundation. He wrote, produced, directed, and edited many outstanding films in this series. One documentary, Pomo Shaman, about an Indian doctoring ceremony is considered by anthropologists to be one of the most complete films of an aboriginal ceremony ever made. With Harvard University, Heick documented the fading culture of the British Columbian Indians in their Blunden Harbour fishing village. In 1967, he filmed The Voyage of the Phoenix for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about a controversial shipment of medical supplies taken by the Quakers into North Vietnam.
Heick's photographs have been exhibited in San Francisco at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the de Young Museum, and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor; at the Seattle Museum of Art; at London's House of Parliament; and in Prague. He was one of 11 living photographers included in 100 Years of California Photography at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. In 1999, his photographs of American Indians were exhibited at the Phoebe Hearst Anthropology Museum at the University of California, Berkeley; this series of photographs has also been acquired by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Heick's photos are in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
In addition to his achievements as a photographer, Heick has been recognized as a filmmaking as well. In 1999, he received an Award of Excellence from the International Cinematographers Guild, which was presented to him at George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic ranch in San Rafael, California. This award was in recognition of his contribution to documentary and ethnographic films over more than four decades. His films have been honored in American Film Festivals and with international awards at Venice, Cannes, Rome, and Edinburgh.

New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art's next exhibition: "Punk: Chaos to Couture" for Spring.
The exhibition opening will be on May 6, 2013 (open to the public on May 9), with a list of co-chairs seemingly perfect for the direction the exhibit is taking, including: Rooney Mara, Anna Wintour, Givenchy's creative director Riccardo Tisci, and Moda Operandi's Lauren Santo Domingo.
There will be six themed galleries: "Rebel Heroes," "The Couturiers Situationists," "Pavilions of Anarchy and Elegance," "Punk Couture", "DIY Style", and "La Mode Destroy."
In my opinion, this exhibition will be extremely interesting because mixing "punk" and "couture" seems so outlandish and dangerous to normal people, but the list of designers who will be contributing to the themed exhibits will make anyone who was already intrigued even more intrigued. I think this is a fashion forward step up from Ke$ha's famous "garbage bag chic." Personally, I can not wait to see how designers like Chanel and Alexander McQueen take on the exhibit "DIY Style."

Former Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox is being charged with two counts of sexual assault for an alleged incident that occurred Labor Day weekend in 2010.
Current Bronco receiver Demaryius Thomas is expected to testify in the case since he was present during the alleged incident, and the victim says that she recalls fooling around with Thomas at Cox's apartment. Thomas could be called to the stand as early as Wednesday or Thursday.
The victim was impregnated by Cox according to DNA tests and she suspects that she was raped by Thomas after she passed out. Broncos cornerback Cassius Vaughn may be called to testify because although he was not at the apartment during the incident, he was staying there at the time. Linebacker Wesley Woodyard could also be called in since he reportedly dated the victim at one time.
Cox was cut by the Broncos in training camp last year after starting in 9 games his rookie year. Now that Thomas's name is associated with the case, it will draw a lot more attention.
For all of you Broncos fans who also watch Law & Order, here's a real life case worth taking note of.

There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method.
In which I make the case to watch all of Studio 60.
And for the record, I was not nearly as perturbed by the Tom's-brother-is-in-Afghanistan plot as Liz was. SNL has actually been a player in global politics as certain stages — if only for when Sinead O'Connor had a notion about the Pope — and I always thought that story was more about how Tom and the show handled the media.
I agree that the page formatting is earth-shakingly dumb, but not nearly as offensively out of touch as the "joke" they try to make about Twitter in the pilot of The Newsroom.

Ben Stiller as usual, frazzled with a touch of hipster frumpis a divorced dad in need of a gig, lest his cutie-pie kid wind up spending all of his time with uptight, bond-trading New Dad (Paul Rudd, wasted in a straitlaced cameo). So Stiller's Larry takes a job as night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, where things go bump in the night thanks to an Egyptian trinket that animates stuffed mannequins and waxworks. The first half-hour's too slow; the last half-hour's too manic, as if to compensate. But at least it entertains, thanks in large measure to the buddy-pic relationship between Owen Wilson's miniature cowpoke and his Roman pal Steve Coogan. Stiller's almost irrelevant to the proceedings; his best scene involves a smartass monkey slapping him stupid, which is as dumb as it sounds. But he's boring because he has to be, lest Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams) run off with Sacajawea (Mizuo Peck) while Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney (notwax figuresreally) get away with the goods. Yeah, it's that kind of holiday movie.

For over 30 years, 3 Day Blinds' technicians have sift through samples and unreel measuring tapes during in-home consultations, custom-fitting abodes with blinds, shutters, and shades. They handcraft and cut treatments such as faux wood blinds, vertical blinds, and flexcell honeycomb blinds that reduce light and are energy efficient. As they tailor-make each order, the staffers dress windows of all shapes and sizes, from an arch above a doorway to a misshapen wormhole in the attic. All of 3 Day Blinds' products come with a limited lifetime warranty. After clients have made a selection, the team shows up just two days later to install the new window dressings or let customers do it themselves.
Rich-colored wood and contemporary metal frames find their purpose at Creative Framing & Mirrors as the shop's artisans mold pieces to fit customers' cherished keepsakes. A framer chooses from a selection of more than 2,000 frames, including those with intricate designs and hidden compartments to store backup photos, which complain less loudly than backup quarterbacks. Photographs, childhood keepsakes, and stamp collections can look even more attractive with personalized interiors that boast vibrant colors, fun shapes, and fitted borders.
Not content to stick to framing services alone, Creative Framing & Mirrors artisans can also transmit images or photographs onto small or large stretched canvases. Staff members employ their tech-savvy to operate a large-scale printer and then carefully tug the subject from all corners to stretch it to an ideal size.
Having resolved at a young age to pursue his passion for green building, Jeff Kaplan created the Urban Land Institute's Young Leaders Program when he was just 21 years old. In late 2007, Jeff started New Living, a green building and home store whose high environmental standards earned the shop a B Corporation certification. Today, New Living sells exclusively eco-friendly products from ethical businesses, stimulating the local green economy while making green materials more affordable and accessible. Staff members passionate about responsible consumerism often help customers interested in repurposing and refinishing items. Kaplan's efforts at revitalizing Houston's small businesses and affinity for wearing capes earned him the title of Green Hero from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Family patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.
